Michael Jackson’s Thriller would’ve came and went in today’s environment.

Ummm no. The modern day equivalent would work and do numbers.

Thriller did 20x platinum in 2 years, right?

Taylor swift just did 8x plat on a 2024 album in 2yrs in her enclave. Mike was universal appeal in his prime...he would be at 15 milly for a 2024 thriller.

This ADD society, NOPE

It'd still sell, but it would not have been the monster sales wise it is.

When Kobe's on the team, the team is trying to win a Championship. Kobe had 3 chips before he did the 81.
When you play for the Lakers - even if a player like Nick Young is on the team - the expectation is always: a chip.

Nobody, and I mean NOBODY including even the entire Miami Heat roster and front office included thinks "we're going for a chip" in Miami.
Nobody has that expectation. No fans, no press, nobody. It's not a winning culture or mindset, at all.

I don't remember the Raptors having the same terrible reputation the Wizards have. It's practically a guaranteed, effortless W when you play the Wizards.

But even if everything you said was true

Kobe's 81 >>>>>> Bam's 83
This nikka hurt :laff:

Doesn’t matter tho. Bam’s name is there at #2 until someone beats it. Don’t think we’ll be waiting another twenty years either
Thriller is one of the most popular songs of all time lol bad example because Bam has no stans.
