@ry3304 And ur a stupid immature racist asshole dickhead that needs 2 sit down and SHUT THE FUCK UP AND JUST FUCKIN KILL YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[ry3304]

players these days care just about money man.

guys back then made less and DID MORE. i mean, guys today have it too good man. they're pampered sissies. kobe is more of an old-school player compared to others.

wade is fairly old school too, but he's too injury prone and he's overrated b/c he'll never be THE GUY on your team.

they need to get rid of that fuckin handchecking shit man. raise the age level to like 20 atleast. and stop with the techs so much.

MAKE THEM EARN IT!

hes the only superstar besides barkley i ever saw willing to LITERALLY dive after loose balls just to save a possession.

im talking your best player, goin after it, throwing himself around like a rag doll just to get a loose ball.

he had so much fuckin basketball integrity lols. barkley did the same thing. 

i respect players that WANT IT more than others. talent is shit to me, its not simply enough.

i HATE jordan but i respect him b/c he went AFTER it against great defenses.

@BrotherofWill It wouldn't matter. Shooting can be worked on, but ultimately its a gift. Kobe doesn't have Bird's gift.

[FavreianVengeance]

@ry3304 Your right. Jordan was a me first player and his bull shit was never going to work against great teams like the Celtics/Lakers/Pistons of the 80s. He had to wait til the watered down 90s to accomplish a damn thing.

@Marakulous43

AGAIN FAGGIT THE ONLY ONE "IN DENIAL" HERE IS U LOSER LOLS

TELL ME WHY THAT PUSSI ASS KID MJ LOST FOR HALF HIS CAREER?

WHYD TEAMMATES HATE HIM SO MUCH? WHY DID HE DO SO SHITTY AS A GM AND PLAYER WITH THE PATHETIC ASS WIZARDS? LOLS

B/C THE GUYS AN EGOMANIAC WHO WOULDNT HAVE ACCOMPLISHED SHIT WITHOUT GREAT BASKETBALL MINDS LIKE JERRY KRAUSE AND PHIL JACKSON AND TEX WINTER, LET ALONE SCOTTIE PIPPEN, THE POOR SF VERSION OF BILL RUSSELL.

SORRI BUT YEA MORONS LOLS ;.

[ry3304]

ITS HILAROIUS HOW KIDS CANT DEFEND WHY JORDAN LOST HIS FIRST 6 SEASONS OF HIS CAREER.

HAD PIPPEN AND GRANT FOR A FEW OF THOSE YEARS TOO LOLS

HE DIDNT WIN SHIT UNTIL PHIL JACKSON CAME ALONG ASSHOLE...

BIRD WAS GREATER THAN JORDAN SIMPLY PUT. HE AND MAGIC SAVED THE LEAGUE, MADE TEAMMATES BETTER RATHER THAN HIDING THEIR TALENTS, AND WAS JUST A WINNER.

JORDAN WAS A FUCKIN BALLHOG AND WASNT EVEN THE BEST PLAYER ON HIS NCAA TEAM (WORTHY) LOLS

TYPICAL LIL BLACK KIDS WHO DONT KNOW SHIT.
