Michael Jordan argument from an old message board in 1999

These old posts are fake as hell

Link? This is great shyt!

As you said more things change, the more they stay the same...

Or an earlier point in a larger trend.

Who remembers the "Farvecam" livestream that followed Farve through the entire game even on the bench. Or the Cavs/Heat/Cavs/Lakers fans?

Buddy spotted the trend way back then.

The amount of HofFers MJ stopped from getting a ring. Those Utah teams are underrated

Just old heads before the coli who migrated to the coli

Some of those anti-MJ/anti-90s brehs are still going on to this day

I just chuckle at people trying to discredit the bulls due to the "expansion era" but never discredit the warriors who benefited from the "trust the process" era where teams for half the decade were tanking purposely to get a high draft pick and the act was so egregious Adam silver had to change the draft rules to prevent tanking. Year warriors went 73-9 many teams were tanking for Simmons and Ingram or "not winnin for Simmons, and "stinkin for ingram" where is that 73-9 asterisk?

Nice move, discrediting Lebron by proxy . Skip does it all the time smoothly both you guys are Master Debators

Bron stans have a new template to use to cope with MJ being better

The Internet made a lot of people incapable of appreciation.

Or did it just give them the ability to spread their bs farther. Before, Bilo the racist Albanian construction worker could only make his "Bird is better than Jordan, and Jordan's rings are fraudulent" argument to his fellow employees and family members. Now Bilo can hop online and thousands of people can see his shyt within minutes.

There were only like 2 teams that were flagrantly tanking in the 15-16 season

No I'm acting like it was only 2-3ish expansion teams. So if the argument is that the Bulls dominated in a era of expansion teams who were horrible then we can also point out that many teams benefited from the tanking era. Bad teams are bad teams regardless of why. Every era had bad teams for whatever reason. Trying to single out the bulls benefiting from bad teams is foul considering great teams deal with bad teams for whatever reason.

League added 6 teams in 8 years breh. Each draft cost every team a rotation player. For a 12 man roster, especially considering the league was more top-heavy back then, losing roster slots in back to back years and filling the holes with garbage was a big loss.

It's no coincidence that 2 years removed from the 88 and 89 expansion, the '91 Bulls had BY FAR the fewest double digit scorers of any championship team up to that point.

If MJ isnt the best and most influential then why does your favorite player from the past 25 years want to be him

Only one team, 76ers, were tanking that year. The Warriors play them just 2 times per years. 2 wins out of 73. What's the excuse for the other 71 wins?
