MJ used to get to the rim(when he went) untouched 80% of the time! And I don't need no youtube proof. This is some BS boy...

Disgustin, reckless, irresponsible posting..
fukk outta here..
Well I guess you did not see the 
part of the sentence breh. 
I couldn't get past that sentence..
I say there is no way MJ is averaging 30ppg in today's NBA unless he was on the Bobcats.
MJ isn't in Lebron league. It's a joke when I hear MJ is as good or better than Lebron. Lebron is better than him in most aspects of the game of Basketball. MJ is great for marketing and business. I will say that. I would love to make money off of Michael Jordan. I could always make more off of Mike than Lebron. MJ game is much more fun to watch.

What are you talking about ? The average NBA player being slightly more athletic now doesnt mean sh!t when they have limited BBIQ and cant hit a consistant jumpshot. Guys in the 80/90s where (on average) smarter ball players with better jumpshots and had a few years of college experience against a multitude of teams who ran zone schemes.
You act like niqqas in the 80/90s was 5 foot tall and had 12 inch verts you had plenty of guys who were as big and as athletic as anybody in todays game.
Bron is an all time great I doubt in 30 years the average NBA guy is gonna be better than Lebron or that much more athletic or do you think all niqqas is gonna be 6'10 275lbs with 40+ inch verts who run 4.2 40s ?
GP is stupid and when did he lock down Jordan?How dare yall disrespect GP tha Gawd. nikka locked Jordan in the finals, he could probably do the same to Bron too.
But, Bron would be as successful in any era, but I do think physical play will make him think twice going to the rim. Be honest, what great big men has Bron or the Heat faced this season that made them think twice going to the rim? Only big man so far I have seen was when they faced the Lakers with Dwight defending the rim, and Dwight is nowhere near the defender nor player as he was before either. Also, Mark Gasol is an underrated as fukk defender too, and that pick n roll defense the Grizz did was perfect and brilliant, every team needs to watch tape on how the Grizz defended Bron. KG has done a really good job defending the paint too. But, the big man are nowhere near on the level as the big man GP or MJ faced though imo.
Exactly. nikkas go way to far with that era shyt in both directions. Bron is a freak of nature like Shaq and Wilt before him. nikkas like these would have the least amount of trouble adapting to any era.
Great point about Bball IQ. nikkas were much smarter and more fundamentally sound in years past and they weren't exactly shabby in terms of size and athleticism. I guess it's just hard for people to accept that great basketball is played before and after their time.

GP is stupid and when did he lock down Jordan?
GP in his prime was a pesky defender who definitely slowed Jordan down if he look at his stats for the finals they played each other. Jordan shot around 41% that series you can even check the stats here Michael Jordan General Stats
GP is stupid and when did he lock down Jordan?
Well I was obviosly trolling when I said that. But, he did do a nice job on Jordan in the 96 Finals, but Jordan was injured throughout that whole series and it was mostly that Sonics team defense that did a great job too, but GP did hold his on, but he should have guarded Jordan from game 1 though. But, the Bulls won regardless, and Rodman was underrated as fukk and great in that 1996 Finals. Low key, he might have been the most important Bull in that series, he made that much of an impact in that series. But, man Shawn Kemp was a monster in that finals though.
Slightly more athletic?
Look at the PG's, the most athletic PG of the 80's and early 90's was Kevin Johnson who is as athletic as Jeff Teague. Today, you got superfreaks like
and 
not to mention speed demons all over the league. Come on son. That's crazy talk for real. Look at SG: In the 90's you had the Wittman, Tipuka, Ehlo, Miller, Hornecek, Henderson, Gill, Dumars of the world. Most usually loot footed defenders who are great shooters. Outside of Drexler, Harper, and Jordan who are great athletes who can score.
Today you either have great athletes who can either score or defend, the great ones can do both. All defenders have excellent length and lateral quickness, the scorers and score at an elite level and the shooters have to be specialist because of the ability to be defended and taken out of the game as starters.
To say today doesn't have better athletes is
He said lockdown, not slowed him down. Lockdown is shutting him down which no one did v. MJ.
I say there is no way MJ is averaging 30ppg in today's NBA unless he was on the Bobcats.
With the lack of 2 guards in the league he probably could.
