This video description trying to make Grant Hill seem as good as LeBron... lol no, but you can't blame the uploader too much since it was uploaded in 2006.
Ahh, I remember these Bulls teams during the second three peat. They were so good, so professional, and so businesslike. They made almost everyone else look like amateurs. It was a joy to watch. Even guys like me who weren't big MJ fans had missed his presence during his first retirement. In the days before Sept. 11th, two wars and a recession it was somehow comforting to turn on WGN and know that Michael Jordan was still the greatest of all time and all was right with the world.
Mike is like a Bugatti SS to Kobe's koenigsegg,both phenominal machines but at the finish line MJ's gonna have a few lengths on my boy,and THAT my friends aint bad.As durable as Kob has been his knee will be his undoing and he knows it,Mj broke a foot in his second season and went basically uninjured for the remainder of his career (wizards dont count).As far as Lbj yeah he's got a Hemi in him but
MJ was a great player when he reetired in his prime, but what put him over the top as #1 was the fact that MJ retired and came back, but he relied more on his skill set rather than his athleticism. plus the defense was always there too.
@PowShredder801 I think that's too easy of a criteria. I'm willing to bet my life that Kobe can still score 20+ as a 40 year old. Of course if he's first or second option on the team.
@GRiMxSG I have no doubt. I mean i do, when you consider that at 40 he's have been playing a hell of a lot more games than Jordan at that age, so more mileage under his legs. That would be the biggest issue.
Like Phil jackson has, anyonecan have equal skill or better skill that Michael, but there something inside him that vaults him in a category of his own.
For everybody hating on Micheal jordan and saying that he wouldnt do good against these athletes today are smoking crack because if mike was born in this era he would have been kobe but 10times better so STFU you idiots mike change the game forever all these athletes yall talkin about looked up to mike
I tell youngsters (born after 1990) I hoop with all the time that they don't have the slightest clue of the omnipotence Mike possessed on a basketball court. Even Bill Russell willingly conceded that MJ is the best he's ever seen. BILL FREAKIN RUSSELL!! Hoopsencyclopedia qualifies as an official basketball historian in my opinion for these awesome looks back at the BEST OF THE BEST, #23.
Bottom line for all this Kobe vs Jordan debate.... Kobe has never shot 50% for a season. Mj shot 50% for his career. Kobe is a great player , Jordan is the greatest ever.
He faced Shaq,Kobe,AI,Hill,and the so called next Jordans in Carter and Stackhouse..so he did face the new breed...and whooped on em bad only iverson held his own,while Kobe had his moments...
Basketball today is soo different from the 90s and 80s..Just imagine if, the game was played the same way..Would Kobe be Kobe, what about Lebron or Wade..Just a thought
Kobe Bryant is my favorite player of all-time. I'm a huge Laker fan and a Kobe fan.
And I just wanted to comment to say (especially to all Kobe fans):
MICHAEL JORDAN IS THE GREATEST BASKETBALL PLAYER OF ALL-TIME.
There is simply no comparing anyone to him. Kobe's amazing. But he is no Michael Jordan. All one needs to do is watch. Watch the difficulty with which Kobe scores now, and how easy it came to Mike.
MJ is one of a kind. He epitomizes the term "UNSTOPPABLE."
MJ is the best!shooting 78% from the field!kobe is good, but MJ is the best. Just a fact, Kobe was only shooting 25% during the game 7 finals against the boston celtics.
21-28.....thats ridiculous %....thats the difference between mj and everybody else......if kobe and lebron could shoot like this they would of been in the same conversation with jordan.....but jordan just use to eat every1 for breakfast
its funny to see his 50 point games that he only attempted around 25-30 shots....whereas the year that kobe went on a scoring spree...more like a hogging spree...he had to go 35+ even 40+ in some games to reach it....its so effortless when MJ does it...and kobe...he is great...but...ball hogging is how he got there...if MJ were to hog all the time and everytime...i swear he coulda avg 45ppg in his prime..even against 80 90s D...
records are made to be broken. im happy for kobe and shit. but never a basketball player/athlete will have such a cultural impact. mj is the fuckin man.
I'm a Bird guy, but you would have to be crazy not to call Jordan the greatest. Kobe has all the tools, but Jordan had something else. I'm sure at his best would be the same player. I do believe the players are better as the game and the athlete evolves, but Jordan was something of a phenom. I think he has a 53% career FG pct? That's crazy.
There's Jordan way at the top by himself, then you can sort all the others.
His thrid comeback was a pride comeback...He wanted to teach the new cream of the crop the basics of winning games...I agree with Blackadams06...He schooled all the new school guys with basic moves...And the sad thing is that only a few of them learned to win games under pressure...The only ones from that gruop who learned were...Garnett, Pierce, Allen, Rip Hamilton, Tim Duncan...they all have one a ring...your other so called athletes...all just wanna get paid...EL MAESTRO 23
(contuinued) Penny Hardaway, Shawn Kemp, Allen Iverson, Kevin Garnett, Eddie Jones, Travis Best, Jalen Rose, Chris Webber, Jamal Mashburn, Tim Duncan, Glen Robinson, J.R Rider, Tim Thomas, Kerry Kittles, ETC...these were the top guys who were all athletic...He beat them all!!!
Michael is probably one of the first players to develope the athletic body needed for basketball along with all the new guys around. He played against the TOP ATHLETES of the 80's and 90's...He came back in 1995 because he realized he wanted to go against the new cream of the crop...Jason Kidd, Gary Payton, Allen Houston, Grant Hill, Jerry Stackhouse (who once said Jordan was overrated in 1995...what an imbecil of an overrated player he was with his spaghetti stupid shoes) continued
Remember that as a player you need to grow and restructure your game as you get older...Youth runs out and your athletic abilities will soon fade away. Michael Jordan became a transitional shooter, post-up shooter, fade-away shooter, fall-away shooter, shotgun shooter, long distance shooter from being a break away posterizer dunking type of player...why??? Because he understood his ups would fade and he needed to develope a threat....He did! ... EL MAESTRO!
Michael Jordan would dominate the game these days with no problem...He would pace the game to what he wants...It's is called experience...He can ignite in the most incredible moments of pressure. He has proved to play better when the game is on the line...the same ways he has missed countless shots for taking risks. He has made great shots and been rewarded glory.
MrR9999.. You are 100% correct. Stern an crew, has injured the game. By trying to create this illusion of a real game. The media feeds it even more by trying to same the players of today are better then the players of the past an that is false. Give me the dream team at there prime and take these so called players at there prime. Plus hakeem if he wasnt apart of that team.
Truly, it's difficult to say that a player today will be the next MJ. Why? Because they wouldn't have to deal with the physical abuse MJ went through during his career. Today's players have it much easier.
If you watch closely, LBJ's current game resembles a Scottie Pippen game more than MJ. Slashing and shooting long bombs but Scottie didn't like contact where as LeBron is just a Locomotive "L" Train!!!
kobe had a similar game to this where he shot 19 of 26 for 52 points and sat the entire 4th quarter vs the jazz. and he did it against AK47 which is one of the elite defenders in the league. I'm a kobe fan, i dont think kobe is better than Jordan, but i think he is a tougher player to guard than Jordan because of his long range.
@shaybutta11208 I disagree. MJ is tougher to guard because he is more athletic, has a better mid range game, has a better post up game, is stronger, quicker, is a better offensive rebounder, is better at forcing turnovers, is better at using picks, is better at moving without the ball, is more efficient, and has better shot selection. Kobe's 3 ball % isn't exactly far from MJ's, so it's not much better than you think.
@shaybutta11208 The problem with players today is that their performances are inflated because of the weak defensive rules, especially when it comes to perimeter players. All the defensive rules and the tendency of referees to call more fouls heavily favor the offensive player. There's a reason why Kobe suddenly became a much better scorer after the implementation of the rule changes. The rules are even more favorable to a guy like Lebron.
@shaybutta11208 i would have to disagree about kobe being harder to guard than MJ, because MJ's first step is lightning fast, his fundamentals are second to NO ONE, and MJ is just more athletic, had more hangtime, explosion, bigger hands, better shot selection, and could just flat out posterize anyone better than Kobe could ever dream of.
wow. I almost passed out when I saw he shot 21/28 in this game, and I'm a big dude. Surreal. It's like he's in the gym by himself, except I can't do that with no one on me unless they're all layups. Then I'd shoot like 27/28. lol.
58 points in today's NBA would mean a player would go to the line 20+ times especially in light of the fact that the league has clamped down and have called the game a lot more closely.
Jordan's 58 points are a completely different story. He needed no such help from the refs.
@SrustinLim i've seen kobe get ridiculous amounts of points without hardly going to the line.....and that is a fact....and the game has changed alot...MJ is the greatest of alltime...but kobe bryant is the best player of this decade and ranks with jordan...in that all time list...i know alot of people will disagree...but i have seen both players play......and wow, they are both assassins...and no one plays at that level...but jordan is the standard by which basketball excellence is measured...
@jimmy3610 ...thats just an opinion......i respect it....but disagree
they are different players, for sure.....but kobe has made his game based on jordan...no doubt...that is why he is so good...and he can do those same things...score, defend, win championships...etc....most people just don't like him....other than that, his game is undeniable, i am not saying he is better than jordan....nore am i saying he is worse....this is just my opinion
@jimmy3610 lol you must be crazy...you are disagreeing with all the nba players who say kobe is great...and the ones who have guarded both players, mj and kobe....and say that you can't tell who is who....kobe is not great?....his career is a compilation of great shots and plays and jaw dropping basketball....that's why mj says he is the best player in basketball and not lebron or anyone else...
let's no turn this into a big argument though..lol...it's just opinions..
@SrustinLim To say he got no help would be ignorant. He got preferential calls. Just comparatively, to today's stars, he had less help from the referees.
Ah i love to see uberathlete and blackadam06 on the rampage lol. Dont bother explaining anything to these retards they think because todays games are watched in HD that players are faster and stronger. Todays players are in fact smaller and I would say drastically slower. I mean is Dwight Howard your generations center? lol 0 post moves and cant shoot a free throw.
Thank goodness blackadam06 has the patience to disprove all the dumbasses out there. My gosh that must be tiring. Idiots keep on coming out of the woodwork.
ya he was in such great shape coming into that season, they simply where the best. The footwork he had on number 51 was was just amazing. He just abused them all night.
Jordan Man.,.. he jus iiis...... HAnds Down ... i'd like to be the one to carry the torch ... I dont really think dunkin makes u the greatest player of all time, iits the finace and clutch moment u bring that makes u a great player.. Superstars love the 4th quater.. Lebron great player but he doesnt have the defense or hunger michael had.. Kobe he juss need to work on his defense .. But jordan iis the best of all
wow, this was back in da day. during that time for the ref to call a flagrant foul, you really had to be bleeding so to speak. now in the NBA, every little fucking bump is a flagrant foul.
A lot of those dunks came from steals and turnovers Jordan and Bulls created. Jordan was great at turning defense into easy offense. That doesn't mean other teams didn't play physical D, it just means MJ knew ways to score regardless.
okay... and you only named 2 other dunks, that were baseline. and then a bunch of layups? so your saying no one now adays scores in the paint, and nobody goes baseline and dunks on people. when jordan does it, it means soft defense? apparently you never saw the knicks and bulls playoff series. or you wouldnt make stupid comments about physical defense. now in the nba you can't touch another player without getting called for a flagrant 2 foul and ejected. so shut your mouth
What you call physical d is just hard fouls. you can't touch another player yet there's people like bruce bowen who hand check, hold, and grab. do you really think there is someone with quick enough foot speed to cut off the athleticism of todays athletes? you're just living in the past. MJ didn't face the athletes of today. how many players back then could compare to MJ's athleticism? face reality. notice how you can't even get into a rational debate without trying to belittle another.
umm. when jordan came back in his40's he was still lighting it up. okay he didn't face lebron, he played against kobe. who im sure you're in love with. because only kobes fan club thinks that jordan isnt the best player ever. he averaged 20 a game as an old man against "today's athletes", so your argument is pointless. and you just proved my point, bruce bowen hand checks. except he gets called for fouls because YOU CAN'T HAND CHECK IN TODAYS NBA. and if you think bowen could have contained
You are naive and assume too much. Yeah right. Today's athlete back in 02-03. Compare them to the athletes that came after. The Josh Smiths, the LeBron James, etc. Bruce Bowen and other "defenders" hand checks yet they don't foul out of most games.. You can't travel in the NBA yet how many times have we seen blatant travels go uncalled? I never said Bruce Bowen could guard Jordan. Once again, you still resort to petty insults. Typical of the Jordan idealist living in the past. Nice try
Your type of thinking led to the demise of many possible great players who were dubbed the next Jordan. Everyone is looking for the next MJ. Your idealization of Michael Jordan will retard progress and innovation. Open your mind. I am done. I don't care what you think.
haha i do have an open mind. i think kobe is an amazing player, as is lebron. but to say jordan played with soft defense is just a stupid comment. ask anyone who knows anything about basketball, and they'll tell you the game has gotten softer over the years. and josh smith is a fucking 6'10 power forward, he wouldn't have guarded jordan. and what does traveling have to do with anything...?
"When we [disallowed] the use of the [hand] & [forearm] to the shoulder, the hip, the [body], that in [conjunction] with the [hand check] interpretation started to give offensive players on the [perimeter], [more offensive freedom]."
-- Stu Jackson; NBA Exec. VP of Operations; "Season Review with Stu Jackson", May 5, 2007
He helped implement the new def rules, so I guess you'll say he doesn't know what he's talkin' about either huh?
50+ in a game; 35 on J. Posey; 35 on KG while guarded by him; 43 on R. Jefferson & K-Mart; 41 on S. Marion & made the game winner on him; 32 on BOTH T-Mac & P. Pierce, while held pierce to 14 pts?
Didn't a 40 yr old MJ in '03, LEAD AL GUARDS in ppg avg % FG% in "home games" that yr? I could've sworn he did LOL!!
6 wing players (including MJ) won Def Player Of The Year, 8 TIMES in MJ's era. That's UNREAL considering big men consistently win this award.
WHERE'S the defensive resume like that from today's allegedly "better" guards?
So guys like Mitch Richmond, Sprewell, Doug Christie, J.R. Rider, Grant Hill, Sean Elliot, Steve Smith, Glen Rice, Stacey Augmon, Darren Hancok, Nick Anderson, Penny Hardaway, Reggie Lewis, Kendal Gill & a HOST of other wing players from that era, AREN'T big & athletic?
U have to be an UTTER MORON to actually think that big & athletic guards ONLY appeared AFTER MJ retired. Left to U dummies to tell it, evolution just skipped ALL OTHER era's regarding this & only endowed this era with those kinda' guards LOL!!
And U fools wanna talk about athleticism? Ok ask yourselves, HOW MANY legitimate FT Line dunkers do we "currently" have in the NBA today vs the Golden Era?
@blackadam06 dont pay attention to that nonsense. 99% of those ridiculous claims come from kobe dickriders trying to convince themselves kobe is a god
@blackadam06 You hit it on the head. ATHLETES OF TODAY?? Athletes of today are pussies. MJ shit on them when he was 40 years old with two destroyed knees. If this man hit his prime today...It wouldnt be fair. He was unguardable back when there was no defensive 3 seconds so the big men would just sit in the lane and wait for you and before the hand checking rule was created. Anyone who follows basketball and has a brain realizes that this man is the best of all time.
@blackadam06 While I was not so fond of MJ''s late comeback it demonstrated how great he was fundamentally. Even when his freakish athelticism was taken away from him he was still effective. The quality of his passing, understanding of the game, footwork, post moves, mid range jumper became more obvious. His skill set and intelligence were off the scale and no "athlete'' could take that away.
@omnivorous65 Excellent post. However, I do want to make the argument that many younger fans don't understand how athletic Michael Jordan was in his prime. At UNC he recorded a 4.3 40 yard dash, and a 48' max vertical. His exceptionally large hands and excellent body control, along with his leaping ability, made him unstoppable going to the rim. In 86–87 season Jordan avg 37ppg shooting 48%, even more impressive was that he recorded 236stls and 125blks; his stamina was on a different plateau.
@dhuang8 "Lebron couldn't hold his jock strap" if you're talking about basketball I.Q., defense, offense, play making - when MJ was asked to play PG at the end of the 88-89 season he had 10 triple-doubles in his first 11 games, of those 10 triple-doubles, 7 were consecutive - if that's what you mean, he can't fuck with MJ. However, if you're talking about athleticism consider the following: LBJ 4.4 second 40yard dash, and has a 44 inch max vertical. They're both freak athletes.
Y'all young dudes need to shut the hell up and listen to people who have seen more and know more than you do. I'm young myself but I remember a prime Penny and a prime Grant Hill. Grant Hill was better than LeBron. He was even more explosive and would dunk on ANYBODY. Had a MONSTER dunk on a prime Mutombo. Was a MUCH better Defender than LeBron. His only "weakness" was 3 point shooting but that wasn't a part of his game. Grant regularly has 25 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists.
B4 his career altering injury, he was a walking triple double. He was doing then what LBJ regularly does now, but in a MUCH TOUGHER defensive era. His injury caused him to miss 7 yrs of his prime. Just imagine what could've been..SMH
The NBA implemeted rules to FAVOR wing players in this era, and his ability to STILL able to be an effective player today at ages 37-38, is a testament to that.
That just shows how EASY it is for wing players in this era..
The league is so watered down now they only talk about three players now. Back in the 90s there were more stars and more great teams IMO. And why does sport writers say Lebron James is a better passer than Jordan? All he does is throw bullet passes I think jordan passes are better are more flashy. They jus want to ride lebron sack since when did being big make you the best player in the league?
I been trying to tell people that league is so wack now compared to the 90s. All they do is promote superstars. That's why it's so unwatchable,still the 4th quarter that's only if it's close
stop with the Kobe comparisons...MJ was a better skilled, athletic, all around, defender, clutch, scorer, killer instinct..fuck it all of the above than Kobe will ever will be.Period. Lebron is just a stat machine with no killer instincts..ask the Washington Wizards. hehe.
Michael Jordan is without a doubt the greatest NBA player of all time! ! ! Hands down! ! ! Fuck everyone who thinks Lebron or Kobe is anywhere near him! They can hit me upp when they win 6 championships are 6 Finals MVPs and have a shoe company tht makes millions or dollars
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
u give Lebron another player over 6'6 like Scottie Pippen and He won the last two years and six more ahead of...Lebron is THE KING hands down. He takes on teams by himself and beats them befrore the fourth quarter. If he has another above the rim player to draw a dbl team, the league gets shut down. PERIOD!!
ok for one nobody can understand that shit u just said...and what the fuck is lebron king of??? does he have and championships to go with that crown..shit he couldnt even win in the finals...MJ never lost when he went to the finals...come back when u find something useful to say
78 % shooting....this man embarrassed the league...Kobe is a little puppy...this man is a mutherfuckin killer...pure, unadulterated killer. Jordan shits all over Kobe, Lebron, Wade...and whoever the fuck you want to put up in front of him...I swear that man cut a deal with the devil...
So weird darksiete I was just thinking about how Michael had to have made a deal with someone, unless GOD just felt like playing basketball for a little bit.
Dude. Hill's best season was never even close to MJ's career average. Everyone wants to see the next MJ but there's never going to be anyone like him. With NBA defense gone, players will have better averages (LeBron and Kobe) but you'll never see someone adapt their game like MJ did. 80s and 90s D forced MJ to be the most complete player that will ever play the game. The rule changes have broken the game and make new stars look a lot better than they really are.
"Michael.....uhh will cut your throat out"
Awesome.

I'm a Bird guy, but you would have to be crazy not to call Jordan the greatest. Kobe has all the tools, but Jordan had something else. I'm sure at his best would be the same player. I do believe the players are better as the game and the athlete evolves, but Jordan was something of a phenom. I think he has a 53% career FG pct? That's crazy.
There's Jordan way at the top by himself, then you can sort all the others.

His thrid comeback was a pride comeback...He wanted to teach the new cream of the crop the basics of winning games...I agree with Blackadams06...He schooled all the new school guys with basic moves...And the sad thing is that only a few of them learned to win games under pressure...The only ones from that gruop who learned were...Garnett, Pierce, Allen, Rip Hamilton, Tim Duncan...they all have one a ring...your other so called athletes...all just wanna get paid...EL MAESTRO 23

Michael is probably one of the first players to develope the athletic body needed for basketball along with all the new guys around. He played against the TOP ATHLETES of the 80's and 90's...He came back in 1995 because he realized he wanted to go against the new cream of the crop...Jason Kidd, Gary Payton, Allen Houston, Grant Hill, Jerry Stackhouse (who once said Jordan was overrated in 1995...what an imbecil of an overrated player he was with his spaghetti stupid shoes) continued
baroni07 1 year ago
Remember that as a player you need to grow and restructure your game as you get older...Youth runs out and your athletic abilities will soon fade away. Michael Jordan became a transitional shooter, post-up shooter, fade-away shooter, fall-away shooter, shotgun shooter, long distance shooter from being a break away posterizer dunking type of player...why??? Because he understood his ups would fade and he needed to develope a threat....He did! ... EL MAESTRO!
baroni07 1 year ago
Michael Jordan would dominate the game these days with no problem...He would pace the game to what he wants...It's is called experience...He can ignite in the most incredible moments of pressure. He has proved to play better when the game is on the line...the same ways he has missed countless shots for taking risks. He has made great shots and been rewarded glory.
baroni07 1 year ago
MrR9999.. You are 100% correct. Stern an crew, has injured the game. By trying to create this illusion of a real game. The media feeds it even more by trying to same the players of today are better then the players of the past an that is false. Give me the dream team at there prime and take these so called players at there prime. Plus hakeem if he wasnt apart of that team.

kobe had a similar game to this where he shot 19 of 26 for 52 points and sat the entire 4th quarter vs the jazz. and he did it against AK47 which is one of the elite defenders in the league. I'm a kobe fan, i dont think kobe is better than Jordan, but i think he is a tougher player to guard than Jordan because of his long range.
shaybutta11208 1 year ago
@shaybutta11208 I disagree. MJ is tougher to guard because he is more athletic, has a better mid range game, has a better post up game, is stronger, quicker, is a better offensive rebounder, is better at forcing turnovers, is better at using picks, is better at moving without the ball, is more efficient, and has better shot selection. Kobe's 3 ball % isn't exactly far from MJ's, so it's not much better than you think.
uberathlete 1 year ago
@shaybutta11208 The problem with players today is that their performances are inflated because of the weak defensive rules, especially when it comes to perimeter players. All the defensive rules and the tendency of referees to call more fouls heavily favor the offensive player. There's a reason why Kobe suddenly became a much better scorer after the implementation of the rule changes. The rules are even more favorable to a guy like Lebron.
uberathlete 1 year ago
@shaybutta11208 i would have to disagree about kobe being harder to guard than MJ, because MJ's first step is lightning fast, his fundamentals are second to NO ONE, and MJ is just more athletic, had more hangtime, explosion, bigger hands, better shot selection, and could just flat out posterize anyone better than Kobe could ever dream of.

He scored these points so effortlessly.
58 points in today's NBA would mean a player would go to the line 20+ times especially in light of the fact that the league has clamped down and have called the game a lot more closely.
Jordan's 58 points are a completely different story. He needed no such help from the refs.

okay... and you only named 2 other dunks, that were baseline. and then a bunch of layups? so your saying no one now adays scores in the paint, and nobody goes baseline and dunks on people. when jordan does it, it means soft defense? apparently you never saw the knicks and bulls playoff series. or you wouldnt make stupid comments about physical defense. now in the nba you can't touch another player without getting called for a flagrant 2 foul and ejected. so shut your mouth
ImFromAmityville 2 years ago
What you call physical d is just hard fouls. you can't touch another player yet there's people like bruce bowen who hand check, hold, and grab. do you really think there is someone with quick enough foot speed to cut off the athleticism of todays athletes? you're just living in the past. MJ didn't face the athletes of today. how many players back then could compare to MJ's athleticism? face reality. notice how you can't even get into a rational debate without trying to belittle another.

umm. when jordan came back in his40's he was still lighting it up. okay he didn't face lebron, he played against kobe. who im sure you're in love with. because only kobes fan club thinks that jordan isnt the best player ever. he averaged 20 a game as an old man against "today's athletes", so your argument is pointless. and you just proved my point, bruce bowen hand checks. except he gets called for fouls because YOU CAN'T HAND CHECK IN TODAYS NBA. and if you think bowen could have contained

You are naive and assume too much. Yeah right. Today's athlete back in 02-03. Compare them to the athletes that came after.

@blackadam06 While I was not so fond of MJ''s late comeback it demonstrated how great he was fundamentally. Even when his freakish athelticism was taken away from him he was still effective. The quality of his passing, understanding of the game, footwork, post moves, mid range jumper became more obvious. His skill set and intelligence were off the scale and no "athlete'' could take that away.
omnivorous65 10 months ago
@omnivorous65 Excellent post. However, I do want to make the argument that many younger fans don't understand how athletic Michael Jordan was in his prime. At UNC he recorded a 4.3 40 yard dash, and a 48' max vertical. His exceptionally large hands and excellent body control, along with his leaping ability, made him unstoppable going to the rim. In 86–87 season Jordan avg 37ppg shooting 48%, even more impressive was that he recorded 236stls and 125blks; his stamina was on a different plateau.

@dhuang8 "Lebron couldn't hold his jock strap" if you're talking about basketball I.Q., defense, offense, play making - when MJ was asked to play PG at the end of the 88-89 season he had 10 triple-doubles in his first 11 games, of those 10 triple-doubles, 7 were consecutive - if that's what you mean, he can't fuck with MJ. However, if you're talking about athleticism consider the following: LBJ 4.4 second 40yard dash, and has a 44 inch max vertical. They're both freak athletes.
kileer7 7 months ago
Y'all young dudes need to shut the hell up and listen to people who have seen more and know more than you do. I'm young myself but I remember a prime Penny and a prime Grant Hill. Grant Hill was better than LeBron. He was even more explosive and would dunk on ANYBODY. Had a MONSTER dunk on a prime Mutombo. Was a MUCH better Defender than LeBron. His only "weakness" was 3 point shooting but that wasn't a part of his game. Grant regularly has 25 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists.

Dude. Hill's best season was never even close to MJ's career average. Everyone wants to see the next MJ but there's never going to be anyone like him. With NBA defense gone, players will have better averages (LeBron and Kobe) but you'll never see someone adapt their game like MJ did. 80s and 90s D forced MJ to be the most complete player that will ever play the game. The rule changes have broken the game and make new stars look a lot better than they really are.
