TuscanyTile2 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 ESPN just did a pretend retrospective commercial of Kenny Mayne saying "this is the type of stuff that will be turned into a documentary in the future." Then he mentioned things that didn't exist at the time. One of them was the "butt fumble". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KRL Posted April 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 20, 2020 As a Knick fan Jordan caused way too much pain!!! But watching that show made me really appreciate his mentality as an athlete. Today everyone kisses up to their opponents and never demands excellence from their teammates. It was refreshing to see Jordan "hate" his opponents and demand his teammates to give their best at all times. On top of that it was nice to remember how Jordan dressed (like an actual adult/professional) which puts to shame these "clown outfits" of today 13 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't LITERALLY hate his opponent, but while he's on that field there is no love lost. The great ones all have that trait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players have more power now, and good for them, but they move around and re-arrange themselves. Jordan on the Bulls. Patrick on the Knicks. Reggie on the Pacers. Stockton and Malone. Hakeem in Houston. Going at it back and forth for years, it was great. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets0712 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 MJ........ and then everyone elseI think Wilson said. Kids that never saw Jordan play. Say think of Kobe... just a better version. Pretty accurate with the way they played and mentality. Kobe was great. Michael was King. LeBron.

I hated watching Larry Bird growing up. It was like watching your dad's drinking buddy who worked for the parks division come over on the weekends and beat your local NBA team. I saw him put up 49 points, 14 boards, 12 assists and 4 steals against the Blazers team that went to the NB Finals in '92. There were like four All Stars caliber players on that team and he went through them like sh*t through a goose. And that was with a slipped disc in his back and two re-attached Achilles tendons! When kids nowadays say that it's already a given that Luka Doncic is going to be better than Bird... I want to kick out their TVs out and tell them never watch pro basketball again as long as they live. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 No love for the Big O? He was mostly before my time, but I met the all-time 50 at the Garden and I can tell you that Robertson seemed to be one of the ones getting the most respect. Maybe it was the lawsuit. Russell sat there waiting for everybody to kiss his ring(s) and a few actually complained about him. It is interesting to compare Jordan, Kobe and Lebron. I am not sure who is the best, but I am 100% confident that if you needed one basket Jordan was most likely to kill for it. He was an assassin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
