Pierce & McGrady argue over Magic Johnson being better than LeBron

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

magic only scored 17k points ?

He had a diet version of LeBron's scoring skillset, while having a pass-first mentality. You do the math.

 

[ISO]

Nikkas using stat totals as if Magic didn't have to leave the game for 5 years

LeBron played basically equal seasons to them dudes and already has superior accolades, moments, and numbers so what we talking about

Because of Magic's HIV and Bird's back issues, Bron turning into the nikka that they almost was

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

The revisionism around Magic's play keeps getting worse as the years go by. Don't get me wrong he's the GOAT PG, but he had a great amount of flaws as a player.

 

[Sleepy Walker]

The scary thing is that once Bron loses some of his athleticism he can become Magic-like running the point

If LeBron decided to not average 25+ and be a facilitator full time he could easily put up 20-23 points, 8 boards, 10-12 assists real talk, basically Magic numbers.

We saw a lil bit of it at the beginning of the year

If you are 39 then you were born in '77 which means you didn't see Magic until at the earliest '83 but 6-year olds don't know shyt so maybe you saw him in the late 80s where he was still at or near his peak but even then it's difficult to say "I saw Magic Johnson" and judge his entire career.

Yo Scottie gotta be smoking something, b.

First he said LeBron was over MJ. Then he said Kobe was over LeBron. Maybe he posts on the coli.

But he said LeBron needed a few years to mature out of HS. nikka dominated his very first NBA game.

And Pierce sounding like a haaaaater.

 

[ISO]

Magic has only himself to blame, he came out spewing that bullshyt that Kobe's the greatest Laker of all time.

Body your own legacy to

brehssss

Pierce and McGrady retire and now they holier than thou, experts that dikkride the past

Foh these nikkas was little KIDS when Bird and Magic were in their prime probably not even cognitive.

When y'all was in the league LeBron was giving y'all mothafukkas buckets. It wasn't long ago y'all nikkas remember

Remember T-Mac when an 18 year old Bron put up 34 points and 6 assists on your squad X-Mas 2003, at EIGHTEEN when you was that age you was riding pine in Toronto

Remember Pierce all them 40 point games LeBron had on you, when he locked you up, the duels y'all had, when he flattoped you and your whole squad in 2012 . LeBron in the 2010's and KG's injury in '09 is the reason those great Celtics teams ain't a dynasty.

these nikkas kill me man foh

why u shytting on T-GOAT like he didnt say Bron was better than Magic?

I peeped I hadn't watched the video when I commented my mistake

Mac still stay talking greasy and dikk riding the 90's though

 

[satam55]

McGrady was on par with Kobe Bryant before chronic injuries sapped his performance.
They should talk about that.

This. People forget how good McGrady used to be.

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

Magic is better of course

 

[Supreme365]

If LeBron put up them Bird numbers today and Kyrie or Love won FMVP like Cedric Maxwell did, his ring would not be respected.

LeBron plays by a completely set of rules and expectations than the legends of old. That's what I'm trying to say.

Jordan really changed basketball conversations for the worst team awards weren't always used as the greatest metric to judge a individual by

Know your history before you speak goofy

Magic averaged 17 points on 38% shooting and choked losing to a 40-42 team in the FIRST ROUND. WAY worse than 2011.

Looks like he was afraid to post up Houston's guards at 6'9, Calvin Murphy (5'9), Tom Henderson (6'3), Mike Dunleavy (6'3), Alvin Leavell (6'1).

"Johnson seemed hesitant and ineffective, far from the confident and joyous youth who took apart Philadelphia as a center last year when Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was injured in the championship series."
-quote from NY Times

"Johnson turned in a dreadful performance, making two of 14 fieldgoal attempts and six of 11 foul shots, including two missed free throws with 30 seconds left that would have greatly affected the outcome. Fifteen seconds later, Mike Dunleavy hit a 15-foot jump shot that gave the Rockets the lead for good."

Magic also took possibly the worst game tying shot attempt of All-Time a pathetic leaner air ball and divided the locker room by claiming his teammates were jealous of him.

Facts

They wont talk abt it
They just want to blame lebron

 

[MJ Truth]

WHAT BIRD DID WAS MORE IMPRESSIVE.

MAGIC WON A TITLE HIS ROOKIE YEAR BUT HE WAS NOT UNARGUABLY HIS TEAM'S BEST PLAYER AND HE DID NOT LEAD HIS TEAM IN ANY MAJOR CATEGORIES. GAME 6 NOTWITHSTANDING, I DOUBT THE LAKERS MAKE IT TO THE FINALS WITHOUT KAREEM.

BIRD WON A TITLE HIS 2ND YEAR BUT HE WAS FAR AND AWAY HIS TEAM'S LEADER AND BEST PLAYER. LED THEM IN POINTS, REBOUNDS AND STEALS... 2ND IN ASSISTS BEHIND TINY ARCHIBALD. HE WAS BASICALLY THE WHOLE TEAM.

Everything the white man does gotta be better, huh?
