MJ: Only 4 Guys Can Play In His Era: Kobe, LeBron, Duncan, and..........Dirk :mjpls:

[Shadow King]

Jordan is neglecting all the wing players of the 2000s...Kobe one-time peers...Pierce, Carter, McGrady would feast on the 6'4" white boys.
Rose, Durant, Parker, Garnett, couple others I'm probably forgetting.

There were players like Garnett pre-95 that's what made KG special. Niqqa was 7 foot racking 25-15-6 in his prime.

 

[Ashyneezz]

detlef schrempf is 6'9, averaged only 13.9ppg and at best was the 3rd option in all the teams he played for

i clearly said, list the 7 FOOTERS who are shooting damn near 40% from 3s for their careers. people can say things like "shaq is as dominant as (insert center here) or "lebron has passing ability like magic" but nobody can say "dirk is like _______" because there hasnt been a player like dirk before.
he's the best player from europe to play in the league, he's already top 20 all time in scoring and has a chance to be top 15 and even top 10 by the time he retires. 1x league mvp, 1x nba finals mvp, 3 pt shootout champion.

how many 7 footers have won the 3 pt shootout

dirk may not be top 5 or even top 10 all time but in terms of uniqueness and being a once in a lifetime type of player he's certainly in that conversation.
again, he is 7 feet tall shooting almost 40% from 3pts for his career

Who the fukk said dirk was one of a kind player on the level of Lebron and magic and shaq

Please tell me who he reminds you of

 

[The War Report]

Half of the time Jordan doesn't know what the fukk he's talking about. It's hard to get an objective perspective from a person of his stature. I'll take a historian's opinion over his.

 

[Ashyneezz]

Dirk?

Yep

its funny hearing all this nikkas get mad in this thread cause MJ don't like their favorite player

Someone came in here and was like "Jordan mention KD Durant would drop 50 on them"

Durant has scored 50 twice. And he got to the line 21 times in one of them

 

[malbaker86]

We really need to stop this thread until Courtdog names just one other player comparable to KG. I'll wait

Toni Kukoc and even HE was more of a SF than a PF that Garnett was.

Chris Webber

Im so fukin tired of hearing about michael jordan

So we're gonna act like the softness of the defensive rules in the NBA is a product of the players not Stern. You really gonna tell me if these nikkas now had the freedom defensively as those nikkas that they wouldn't fukk shyt up. Yall some delusional ass 1 track minded nikkas. The workout regime of players now, the sheer strength and muscle(not just being big but actually strong). Im tired of yesteryear players in there sports hating on modern players. The game is different now, the game is a lot faster and A LOT more athletic. Most those dudes wouldnt be able to keep up. The difference between sheer athleticism in athletes in athletes now vs 20 years ago is the biggest gap ever. There workouts, training and access to athletic knowledge due to the evolution of sport is ridiculous. And dont give me that,'well if those athletes had access to it too' bullshyt cause we arent living in those ifs. Just facts. For Jordan to say those players then on average as now is B.S. They had more star power, but the average athlete now>> then; and I dont care who disagrees with me [/rant]

Jordan better be grateful he played in his era...not sayin in his prime he couldna played in this era but be honest,athletcially Jordan wuz ahead of his time back then.....Shawn Kemp athleically wuz ahead of his time.....most great dominant players are athletic freaks of nature who were ahead of they time.....not downplaying they skills but if u think a lot of these dudes in this era couldn't "survive" in a era of slow white boys and stiff nikkas....the league is soft but most these nikkas done played the playground and still do in the offseason with nba calibre talent...they gotta tone down they aggresiveness bcuz that's the rules of the nba.....if a player don't have heart they just don't have heart and that's this er era..

Please Dirk don't ever retire

Oh there's a big difference in 6"9 and 7 feet 2 fukkin inches

I'm not bout to go back an forth over no fukkin dirk. Dirks a good player but when you talkin names like shaq and Lebron and magic you need to be more than a one dimensional jump shooter.

With players of a similar skillset, 2 inches is huge, second, you are severely underplaying Dirk.

 

[Versa]

Lol @ "Kevin Garnett couldn't play in the 80's or 90's" and "there were plenty of people just like KG in the 80's and 90's"

Some of you literally should get a strong electric shock every time you try to sign into The Coli.

@ still not being able to name another 7 footer that has ever done what dirks done

You lost.
