BRUCEBLITZ LIED!!! HERE'S THE PROOF

He and the other Jordan nuthuggers, say MJ would be even better in today's era. In an era that has "advanced" defense, superior athletes that MJ never faced in his time. I mean, he played against oompa loompas and ewoks his entire career. He'd never even score on today's great defenders like Radja Bell.

This video PROVES IT!!!

Watch as this old fart makes a fool outta himself... LOL

Just imagine a young Mj


*sorry bout the audio. For some reason the broadcast audio didn't sound*

Song seemed appropiate at the time, oh well.

Just wait til I get Final Cut.

nice title! a way to catch those kobe nuthuggers and view reality.

@Alvinladen thank you... and thank you for noticing and drawing the distinction. This is NOT an anti Kobe vid. I am NOT a Kobe hater. This is however an anti Kobe 'nuthugger/stan' vid. I am however a Kobe 'stan' hater.

Huge distinction and Bruce shares the same principles as I do. But I can understand how some might confuse us as being Kobe haters.

Hard to say what a young Michael Jordan would do against modern rules, but he would have to make stylistic changes to his game (and of course, you know he could do it). He'd still be the best player, but Jordan really could NOT shoot for the first few years of his career. It's a more perimeter oriented game now, and its hard for anyone to lead the league in scoring without making the three point shot a weapon. The top 8 scorers this year are all players known for shooting a lot of threes.

[SRSharp2006]

With that in mind, the fellow who posted this vid commented something about putting Kobe in the 1980's and averaging only 22 per on 42% shooting. Much of the stylistic differences between Jordan and Bryant derive from playing in different eras. If Jordan had come in during the mid 90's, he would have shot more 3's. If Kobe had come around in the mid 80's, he'd have shot less. There are too many variables here to make a definitive ruling. Jordan is better, but Kobe would be a star in any era.

[andgar923]

@SRSharp2006 I agree Kobe would've been a star in any era, because he has an extremely great work ethic and drive. However, Kobe has never been the slashing attack player MJ was, even tho today's rules are created to 'encourage' that style of play from the wing players. Up until recently, Kobe has relied too much on the jumper and has a history of making bad decisions and forcing shots. I don't think he'd change that mentality, specially if it was harder to drive back then.

[andgar923]

@SRSharp2006 today's game is created with the perimeter player in mind. The rules were modified to allow for more slashing and driving to the hoop.  Perimeter players thrive under today's rules more than ever. If Wade who has the same slashing style that Mj did for the earlier part of his career, can avg in the high 20s with a strong % with half the talent MJ had, there would be little adjustment to MJ's game needed. MJ would put up crazy numbers in today's era.

JORDAN=GOAT

Jordan also scored 43 (60% FG%) with only 8 free throw attempts, on the Eastern Conference Champions when he was 40 years old.

@hardcorefan4life did you watch the video? lol

@ironlemmy hahahaaahaha

[fuzzyslippaz324]

this guy's serious? jordan nuthugger? my question is, who's better? ever? guy owns damn near half the nba record book. on top of that, he's the most respected hooper ever amongst his peers (past and present) and just atheletes in general. the guy changed the game really, just from imitators after him. the stats and awards speak for themselves, and they still don't do justice to watching him. i'm not saying he's the greatest man ever, but bottom line that guy would not let you beat him = GOAT.
