Anyone on here honestly think Jordan impacts a game more than Wilt or Shaq?

[LebronsHairline]

Nobody impacted a game like Jordan.

Guards/wings are responsible for gettin the ball to the big men.

Yall see clips of Shaq and Wilt handlin the ball and probably thing they won't get stripped tryna bring it up the court.

nikkaz still tryna discredit Jordan.

bill russell nikka?


to answer OP's question a big man can impact the game in more ways than a guard and height/length in basketball is a huge +. If Shaq actually gave a fukk about winning as much as jordan did he'd have far more than 4 rings

You guys have to take into account the Jordan was the most dominant wing player to ever play the game. Big man> wing player, but Jordan is the exception to the rule. Jordan and Shaq are the two most unstoppable players I've ever seen, followed by LeBron.

On a side note... What is wrong with these young nikkas coming into the league? Do these dudes not see how the GOAT dominated the game with that mid range and low post turn-around/fadeaway jumpshot??
These cats should be practicing that shyt 24/7. SMFH @ my generation.

lol bruh go out to a basketball court anywhere in the country and you'll see a bunch of nikkas tryna shoot step back 3's and drive through 10 defenders like they james harden the other day i actually had to FORCE a 6'7 nikka who was on my team to play on the low block,

The question is who impacted a game more and y'all keep bringing up Jordan fadeaways and dribbling the ball up...

Wilt and Shaq with their defense, offense and rebounding definitely impacts a game more than Jordan

Don't get me started on pickup games brehs. The only thing these dumb nikkas know how to do is fast break layups. Nobody likes to set picks or screens because everyone wants to try to cross up their defender and hit some crazy shot. And big men?
My generation is retarded.

Dominant wing. On offense it's questionable who has the most impact. But what seperates it is on defense. A great defensive centers is way more important than a great defensive guard. A great defensive center can just completely close the lane off and turn the other team into a strictly jump shooting team. The impact of that is hard to argue.

An intangible that Jordan had on the game, was that when he was on the floor, every other player (teammates and opponents) all seemed to play harder. Shaq's teammates hella coasted.

Has there been a wing player to take 2 different teams to the finals outside of Lebron..?

I know Shaq anchored 3 and Kareem 2

It's a big man's game.

Bron still the GOAT though.

Yeah but Jordan used to bytch slap and punch his teammates in the mouth though.

Thread, Great post.
Even though Jordans individual play was brilliant and can be argued to be just as great or better as the top center ever, he had to have the perfect team built around him (although I do think if he played on the 90s pacers(replace Miller) or the early 90s blazer(replace Drexler) he still would of won a couple championships).
For all Jordan individual play he didn't change around the Bulls(30-52 his first season) when he first arrived like Larry, Shaq, or Kareem did, to me that says alot.

You picked 2 players that haven't even one ONE finals game in their careers?

And last I check Dwight Howard Is a big man.

Jason Kidd was the closest I could come up with and that is a STRETCH beyond Armstrong levels.
