Not enough plumbers in this era for jordan to succeed

 

[MVP]

If Bron were drafted in '96, would we even know who Kobe is today?

Lebron would be a bigger T-Mac with no chips

 

[niceshoes247]

Kobe's game will be obselte by the next era. He's be ranked in like 20-30 range

Kobe mimic his game after Jordan, are you telling Jordan would be ranked 20-30

 

[BIG FISH]

Kobe is a poor mans TMAC that was lucky enough to play with a top 5 player ever

 

[niceshoes247]

Kobe would be derozan without the adult acne.
Basically brons's *****

 

[Clyde Frog]

I don't think Kobe would be obsolete in the next era you maniacs lol

 

[MVP]

Getting buckets will be obsolete in the next era. Dumbest thing I've read today.

Jahlil okafors issue isn’t his scoring. As he averaged 17/10 in his rookie season. The issue is he can’t play a lick of defense and isn’t a great rebounded despite putting up an average of 10 in his first season. The thing is that nobody has any need for that kind of big man in today’s game. You have guards and wings there to get buckets. Almost bigs today just play D, get rebounds and the occasional put back. The offense isn’t gonna get ran through Okafor like an embiid

That's my point. The post up is one of the least effective offensive plays in basketball but in the 2000s we were force feeding guys like Jermaine O'Neal.

There's PLENTY of teams that still run iso heavy offense because, NEWS flash they don't have the personnel that makes all that ball movement actually be effective. We've seen first hand how almost every team in the playoffs have reverted to iso ball when these games have been close as well.

Nah you need better personal to run an effective iso-based offense than a ball movement one. Your assertion about every team in the playoffs is also false.

 

[getback]

I love when people attempt to compare players across generations but fail to adjust for other generational factors. Like people really believe MJ or Bird would be the same players in 1986 and also in 2012.

6-24 in Game 7 against a washed Celtics team.

you're close to being reported my friend.

What happened to the Pacers, OKC (almost every game), Cavs (almost every game), Bucks, Raptors (last game), Heat, etc. They all resorted to going iso hero ball down the stretch. I'd say NO, GS and Philly really the only teams that constantly move the ball as the staple of their offense.

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

The league was more high-scoring in Jordan’s prime pre-baseball than it is now, but sure.

Think so?

Physicality doesn't even exist anymore than when he played.

Same team that washed Bron all the way to South Beach

It's hard to tell who's trolling and who's serious sometimes, so here's a handy guide:
If it's a Lakers fan saying stupid ****, they're serious.
If it's anyone else saying stupid ****, they're either a bronsexual or trolling.

 

[dacomeup]

He probably wouldn’t have gotten as fat

Man, what?

Shaq didn't defend PnR his his era either, didn't stop him from being dominant. Lol at having Draymond and these small ball lineups trying to stop him.

What does that have to do with him getting destroyed on defensive in the PnR?

 

[Lovetohate3000]

"game 6" lebron against the Celtics is always hyped up.
Dude did all that against 35 year old kg 34 year old Paul pierce and 36 year old ray ray . No mention of the Celtics being washed.
Same with the Pistons 20 plus straight points.
its nice and all but let's act like it was the same piston squad that won the ring in 04.

We can diminish or hype up lots of star players performances when it comes down to it. Depending how you look at things

God this thread has been cancer today. That Tim Duncan discussion was mind boggling
