Did I make any of these silly ass arguments, wtf are you arguing about?But the issue is everyone thinking these players now would move and play like they now of they was back then
See the problem
Its the notion that the 80's and 90's players would adjust
But somehow the current players couldn't
You can't have it one way
The hand checking goes both ways
You think Bron would not hand check you back
You crazy
Or zion
Ja
Ben Simmons
ZO
John wall
Beal
Wade
Melo
Westbrook
Durant long reach would bother alot of players
Harden is "cant get right strong"
Could Jordan survive the social media era? He was already cracking during his era

- Start date
Just an observation from someone who has no dogs in the GOAT/STAN debates here nor cares...
It's funny how yall prop up former athletes and say they would adjust to this era shyt while swearing a workout and training machine like Lebron wouldn't survive in a more physical era. Its fukking stupid. But so is yall petty Kobe/Lebron/•Jordan stan wars...

MJ would definitely slip up no doubt about that. I honestly think growing up in this era would've made him less sensitive and less protective of that image. From what I've been reading Jordan was flat out scared of looking like a bad guy. I think today's society is less expectant of athletes being perfect so I could see him being less sensitive about protecting that image.
Not to mention that in those days the reporters had way more access and were much closer to the athletes as it was a mutually beneficial relationship. I think Jordan felt betrayed due those closer relationships. Now days there is more distance between athletes and reporters so I could see him not feeling as hurt by them taking shots at his perfect image.
But I could be wrong and it would drive him insane and give him more fuel on the court but more miserable off of it.

Thank You Kobe
Jordan wouldnt even have an IG/Twitter account

This is a dumb argument. MJ would thrive in an era where defense is less physical. Lebrons game would take an obvious hit, because defense is more physical. That’s just facts.

This . The amount of people who purposely didn’t respond to this let’s you know the agenda

The agenda is the media’s that didn’t exist to the degree it does now. .
his point makes no sense because we are obviously speaking on issues that these hacks would find worth covering. MJ would have slipped like any other modern day athlete. You have articles written about athletes not liking cold fries and you’re telling me MJ operating differently would have somehow protected him from the forced cac scrutiny?

Thats all i was saying.Bron was treated like a serial killer over a DECISION. Can you imagine they snapped him entering an Atlantic city hotel lobby with Yesjulz or some shyt two weeks before the playoffs?
Breh, Kobe literally just DIED in a a tragic accident with his teenage daughter (RIP) and all this clown azz media could talk about is Colorado.
Theyd have a field day with MJ. Nah he wouldnt quit the league and commit that, but all that "Like Mike" shyt would hit waay different
. Hed be snapping on reporters all the time and would probably be viewed as a villain of sorts... which back then would be seen as inconceivable for a dude like him.

These dudes are willing to put their faith in the cac media to say MJ would be viewed the same. The same media who builds careers around folks failures.

Dudes in here and their capping of him can't see they are actually capping for today's
sports media. 
Could social media survive Jordan??

For real. Bron is built like a middle linebacker and you got former players and media suggesting he couldn't do anything in the more physical era. Yeah the same era with the Shawn Bradley's,Yinka Dare's,Munute Bol,Broken Down Bill Walton and a whole lot of other unathletic stick figures would really stop Lebron from living in the paint.

It would be the equivalent of what he faced in the 90s.
