We are talking about during Jordan's championship runs. 91-98.

No one at the beginning of the season said Charles Barkley or Patrick Ewing is better than Jordan and he's going to take over the crown as best player in the league.

No one

To say so is pure revisionist history

People write articles about Lebron and KD's rivalary and before that people wrote about his rivalry with Kobe.

People weren't writing articles about Jordan having a personal rival during those runs.

You ever hear the term this person is "Michael Jordan of Football, Golf etc etc"?

The reason why they'd say that is because Michael Jordan was so dominant it was just him alone as best player in sport for a long period of time.

No one is saying that about Lebron's recent dominance.

You say Im not objective

Dude you're not objective about your love of Lebron either

You're just smooth about your fandom of Lebron and all things Heat. :lol:

Listen dude, your not a fan of LeBron, I'm not a fan of LeBron. I still think he's a punk for going to Miami, I still think he took the easiest way out. I was campaigning for Chris Paul to be MVP in January/Feb. That changed tho.

But the difference between me and you is I'm not going to sit here an try to come up with a delusional reasons to why he isn't what he is. LeBron is the best player in the planet, he's becoming what Jordan was in the 90's. Once again, what I mean by that is - he's that much better than his competition.

Sure you can compare KD to LeBron, maybe one day he will be better, since he has more time left. But won't be anytime soon bro. That could be 4-5 years or more away.

But dude, you said Michael had no Rivals. How can anyone take you serious? You're not objective at all when it comes to LeBron. You stay here diminishing everything he does. Why can't you just accept it?

I never understood that about people who hate other players, you're disrespting the game if basketball if you just sit there, and diminish how great they are. That goes for the Kobe haters, LeBron haters, all the dudes who just can't accept someone's greatness. It amazes me.

Ok you're not a Lebron/Heat just like Bill O'Reilly isn't a Republican :lol:

You never said delusional stuff? Really?

I remember I said its going to really hard for the Heat to be a lock for championships past the 2014 season because of the CBA and players aging.

I even showed you articles with NBA sources that it's a strong possibility

But you scoffed at it.

You basically said its impossible and that Arison is just going to lose massive amounts of money indefinitely and that players will always take pay cuts to come play with Lebron.

That's not a bit delusional? :lol:

Lebron is not on Jordan's level.

If after this season Lebron hung it up to play for the Miami Dolphins people aren't going to lose interest In the NBA like they did when Jordan left to play Baseball.

People were crying for Jordan to come back. Hakeem, Ewing etc etc, none of those guys filled the void.


If Lebron left, people would so sad but people would just move on to KD and Melo as not big thing.

Yes lebron is the best player, Jordan was the best player, but like the dude earlier said lebron>>>KD, Jordan>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>The next best player

RCK just exposed my plan to change all my stuff to LTBs and continue the ruse.

So should we just pencil in an L for the Bulls with no Deng or Hinrich? The Nets are one thing, but the Heat are a whole different story when you're not at full strength. Nets should've given Jay 2/15 instead of 1/15.

Nah dude.

Bulls are beating the heat in 7.

Does anyone subscribe to the theory that Paul George is the best overall player in the IND/NYK series?
uh oh.

think Bulls take game 1


kinda SRS
 
The Nets org must be fooling themselves. Proky need to get his mind right. They need to fire Billy King if they want to improve.

Coaching wise, I'd like to see Nate there but they need to also get rid of Joe Johnson. Josh Smith is the Hawk they should've traded for.

:lol:
Jordan had no rival player.

Lebron has/had rivals.....KD, Melo and Kobe. He may be better than them this season but with the other guys, people could realistically expect them to win the MVPs and win the title with Jordan there was none of that.
This dude was def MJs rival, jordan hated him

800


Isiah's team was Jordan's rival not Isiah the player.
If that was true Isiah would've been on the Dream team.

You're fooling yourself if you don't think they were rivals.

Excellent point.

Hated the fact that the powers that be confused Zeke's competitive nature with toxicity.

Lame.

You know what it's comparable to.

Lebron and KG the past few seasons. KGs team has defeated Lebron's teams.

KG was the leader of those teams just like Isiah was the leader of the Bad Boys team. But you couldnt say KG the player is on Lebrons level.

Just like you can't say Zeke was on MJs level indidvuality.

There's a difference between player rivals and team rivals.
 
It was mentioned on SVP and Russillo.

Everyone knows I'm the resident PG24 supporter on NT.

But, if Melo plays like he did in G1 and the latter part of the Boston series, the NYK are in trouble.

My guy, Paul George, can impact a game and series significantly without scoring or shooting the ball well. Elite defense on Melo and JR. Can rebound, pass, perform at a variety of positions on the court offering Vogel depth and versatility.
