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

[OGmittee]

MJ is really just hating at this point, but theres enough ppl on his dikk that theyll ride with him blindly. Thats a ridiculous statement in OP.

Then theres the other part in the article where he wishes he could come back and play, he feels the attention and #1 spot slippin away...idk why hes gettin so depressed about it. Its not like ppl are gonna forget about Jordan

Im not sold on Durant. The game was way more physical, he wouldn't get all those calls he gets today, he would get bodied in the post.. I dont know. I dont believe that he would have the same impact as today

I see your point, but breh he is like 6-10, with 3-point range, his wingspan is something else, and his first step would be as good as anyone's imo. But, he would have to be forced to have a back to his basket game though, I don't know why he hasn't gotten one yet completely. Durant was just made to score buckets, nobody could deal with his length at the SF position. But, he would struggle maybe versus swarming defenses and he has shown to struggle against zones too. But, this Durant is not the best Durant we have seen yet. But, right now with his shooting ability to go along with his athleticism should be enough for him to be very successful from 1984-1998 imo.

CP3 would get that work


18 and 9 nikkas like Sam Cassell was seen as second rate pg in that era


Not to mention with the hits they they delivered back then he would constantly be injured

You out ya damn mind.

 

[Illuminatos' Hairline]

Derrick Rose,Carmelo Anthony,CP3,D Wade,Garnett,Pierce

MJ 'in

 

[courtdog]

A nikka like Anthony Mason would've been caught KG's fade

I miss the shyt out of those NY teams
Gotta honorable mention X-man Xavier McDaniels...

Right now, from the 2013 NBA All Star Game, here are the players imo that could play in MJ's era from 1984 to 1998 effectively and to the level they are playing in today's game:
Lebron, Kobe, Durant, Parker, Melo, Duncan, KG, Aldridge, Z-Bo, Paul, and that really might be it imo. Everyone else, like a Noah, Lopez, I would proabsbly be bench warmers trying to go up against the Hakeem's, Shaq, even an older Kareem. I'm not sure of the scoring point guards like Westbrook, Kyrie, Holiday, etc. would do against Isiah, Magic, Stockton, Payton, etc. They would get that work imo. And the other wing in this year's All Star Game just wouldn't hang with Jordan, Bird, Pippen, Drexler. This year's Wade is nowhere as good as the old D-Wade, but the old D-Wade could definetly hang and be as good as the other wing players. James Harden I wouldn't be too sure about, but he could be like maybe an Alex English type of scorer maybe? I'm not completely sold on his defense, plus he is what 6'4-6'5ish? Jordan does have a point imo.

Lopez would be a serviceable center in that era imo, he is similar to Rick Smits
Just not quite as dominant...

But, he would struggle maybe versus swarming defenses and he has shown to struggle against zones too.

There was no ZONE defenses back then (in the NBA) so...

ΜJ seems very insecure these days..

MJ is biting Kobe now. Irony at its best.

 

[mastermind]

No he didn't bruh. Did he play while Jordashe was still playing, sure
But you wouldn't put them in the same "era", K.G was one of the guys Jordan passed the torch too. When Jordan left the big question was "Can the NBA survive"

im trying to figure this out. KG was an all star and establishing himself as one of the best big men in the NBA during the Jordan era (the mid to late 90s). If he was shytting on HOF players and the goons back then, which he was, why wouldnt KG not be able to play in that era? Especially since KG was a teenager.

Back then they were more lean, agile, KG like
But it wasn't "special", it was the norm. Its not anymore hence why K.G is teh superstar that he is today.

name the players that were KG like

reggie miller was averaging 20 a game during that era.

durant would have no problems playing then.

 

[Youhadasparkwhenustarted]

So Durant, Melo, and Wade wouldn't feast back then? I see them all putting in work back then. A prime Wade would be the second best SG in the 90's.

Edit: Pierce, Rose, Paul, Parker too, shyt, probably a few more I'm not thinking of.

im not sayin that he wouldn't be good, i believe he wouldn't be as good as he is today though

See the problem is Jordan is a fukkin dikk.. Other then being the greatest basketball ever, he just says alot of stupid , dumb ass shyt and people feel the need to validate what he says because of who he is..

People love Mike but his overall assessments on basketball are always ill informed and stupid.

Look at the the last 2 franchises he lead..

The Wizards and the Bobcats. 2 franchises under his leadership that just sucked.

Jerry Rice is the same way.. Wildly considered the greatest football player ever next to Jim Brown and he doesn't know what the fukk he's talkin about half the time and just says stupid dumb ass shyt everytime he's on TV..



Mike needs to just shut the fukk up.

name the players that were KG like

The majority of players 6'9 and taller who played in that "era" were just like KG
A better question would be to name some that weren't

And how the fukk can they be considered same era when Jordan was playing in the NBA when Garnett was 9yrs old
Jordan about to turn 50, Garnett is 36. They not the same era bruh
Garnett couldn't even get out of the first round during the end of the era, then finally won a title after Jordan been out the game for damn near a decade

Everything you just said applies to YOU
Jordan didn't lead shyt for the Wizards, he was V.P of player personnel. Not even President
He only had one real pick, Kwame Brown. Who at the time was the right choice. Tyson Chandler went #2
Head to head, they would battle and Kwame Brown would win that. Appeared to be a young Shaq at one point
DC killed him, just like they kill anybody who they have hope in that doesn't immediately contribute. Its tough round here
As for the Bobcats, Jordan is only a man. Not a miracle worker

All you people need to stop being mad at MJ and start blaming the media for this circus. Theyre the one asking him these stupid ass questions

true, but u know who else has created all this? Lebron, cause he has raise his play to a level that only MJ has matched in the past.

Michael Jordan is a shetty human being... he's like the anti-bill russell...
