Right. It's like comparing QBs today playing against neutered defenses against QBs of years past..You need to take a lot of things into context. Actually observing guys especially. Thats why I never comment on guys that played before the 80s. You can watch clips and shit but not the same IMO.
Like I said 70% of the guys that get paid to do it for a living currently are going with MJ. Roughly 10 each for Kobe and Lebron. Ill take those guys opinion over a season ticket holder that once played JV HS basketball :-) [Reply]

Oh for sure. Those guys (in both sports) got the living shit kicked out of them. They are almost entirely different sports. [Reply]

It is Kawhi or bust IMHO. Not a big Jimmy Butler fan... [Reply]

I think it would be really interesting to see him in okc (I know not happening just think it would be entertaining ) or Houston. [Reply]

Woj is reporting he is going to the Heat on Sunday and then might take a meeting with Houston. I think I read earlier today or yesterday his preferred destination is Miami.
Sounds like the Lakers are now focusing on a reunion with Russell. [Reply]
Russell will be fun to watch there. Surely he's not getting a max. wonder why the Lakers were so hell bent on getting to that point if they aren't going to sign one. [Reply]

I think he would get that or close to it but IMHO he isn’t a max type player [Reply]

Yep, sometimes it's nostalgia for an era that was nowhere near the caliber of basketball we see today.
Media: "MJ why did you just let Kemba walk away like that?"
MJ: "I went 6-0 in the Finals against used car salesmen & ice cream truck drivers"
*Media immediately bursts into thunderous applause*
