This is true. Watch kids on how they mimic players.
Jordan, the tongue, dunk that became Jumpman logo, jump shot.
Kobe, turnaround, smile
Steph, the 3 stroke and mouthpiece bite
Harden, stepback
LeBron, whining and flopping. Superteams.
He is still the best of his generation, but he does not endear himself. [Reply]

I hated that bastard. Best player I ever saw, though.

Of course, I'm sure KCC will be along sometime soon to somehow discredit it or compare it to Lebron in some way, but that's to be expected. He just can't help himself.
Edit: Nevermind. I see's he's already been here. Like the sun rising in the east . . . . . . .
He truly hates the fact that the majority of fans, media members, former and current players/coaches, etc. agree on MJ being the GOAT.

Super productive for many years, but also an asshole whose game was like watching flies ****. Jordan is the GOAT. If not him, Chamberlain.
Lebron's legacy is much higher than Malone's.
That said, outside of suspensions, Malone hardly ever missed a game until his last season. Lebron gets injured all the time. Too soft compared to Malone. [Reply]

This is so ridiculously wrong it has to be pointed out. Until his injury 2 years ago at the age of 34 after playing 16 years of basketball at the highest level anybody has ever seen, he was probably the most durable player in NBA history. There’s a reason he’s shattered (or is on the way to shattering) nearly every counting stat in the book and it’s not because he “gets injured all the time.” [Reply]

We missed out on some great matchups with the Bulls going up against the Rockets when Jordan left for two years. Also missed seeing them against the Spurs in 99 after they decided to break up the team after the 98 season. [Reply]
I'm not saying he's not the greatest, but we all know he played that flu thing up big time for the cameras. Yeah he's out there putting guys in the spin cycle on fast breaks and flying above the rim like he's in NBA Jam, but when he's on the bench and the cameras are on him he can barely stand. Yeah right. He was just bored with being good. [Reply]
