TYRONE GA!
Zeke was popular with them until 87. Before that he was viewed as a pocket Magic. And he had charisma and a smile like a kid
when he made that statement about Bird, everything changed. and you know these journalists, esp cac ones, are sensitive as fukk.

Chris Paul is also ahead of him.
Almost forgot CP. Dame firmly behind CP.

It depends on how much you value winning vs longevity when it comes to CP vs Zeke

Some would argue CP would have similar success on the pistons teams but hey..he didnt play on those teams. Interesting discussion. Ill lean towards giving CP the nod over Zeke

Chris Paul turned to Cliff Paul with a 2-game lead in the finals and Zeke torched the Lakers on one leg on an epic 4th quarter and was a phantom foul away from beating the Showtime Lakers

They are not the same :mjlol:

This is an all-time atrocious thread.

It's like saying Wilder has a better KO percentage than Ali or Foreman so he's obviously better :mjlol:

I mean, those Clippers teams were talented, but they could never get past the second round. I distinctly remember CP3 choking against OKC.

Golden State did what the Clippers were supposed to do. NO ONE picked GS to win the championship prior to that 2014-15 season.

Heck Wilder ain't even Razor Ruddock or David Tua status IDGAF about those titles and his run.

That's how bad this thread is :mjlol:

Paul blew multiple leads in the playoffs despite LOADED squads

Harden is a fat, stat -padding playoff choker

Westbrook is dope but had a ceiling despite always playing like a demon

They're all HOF don't get me wrong, but Zeke, fukk nah

Could you imagine Chris Paul in this situation?

And I like Giannis but that Bucks team is hardly an all-time great team

Isiah finishing 17th in MVP voting when the Pistons won 63 games is definitely some bullshyt. Mark Eaton received more votes than him. Both Isiah and Dumars received one point and tied for 17th with Larry Nance.
This thread is trying to shyt on Zeke

When in reality it is only highlighting the media and public bias against him cause he went at the BIG 3 ( Jordan,Magic, BIRD)

Once the bird controversy happed them cac journalist HATED HIM

Im old enough to remember Zeke being a scorer and changing his game to the benefit of the Pistons.

I guess all those commercials and attention he got wasnt meant for him. :childplease:

He wasnt getting first place votes from angry cac journalists for his Bird comments.

It means he wasn’t a superstar like that and wasn’t seen so in his time. He was an all star on a loaded team that won titles

There is zero case for Isiah being the second best PG ever when Steph Curry exists lmao
fukk out of here with this bullhshyt. Pistons were the most hated team in the league, by the public and media. (Getting back that way too).

And Steph isnt a PG/or best at anything except accumulating 3pt stats.
