Has Edward been jerking off at your house? Who is this Jordan you speak of? I thought everyone agreed Lebron is the greatest ever?
Michael Jordan is a way more repulsive personality than Lebron James, from everything I've heard about the two. As far as basketball-wise, I don't think that it's so cut-and-dried, especially because they're such different players.
No, if anyone thinks anyone is better than Jordan, they are mistaking their knowledge of basketball with a pile of shit in their brain. It's not even funny. LeBron James is a pussy. He does not have killer instinct. He wants to be a brand, not a champion. AND it is MJ's repulsive attitude of hate that made him a better player. LeBron won't win more than 2 championships as the star player.
Which I am glad for, because that cuts down on the amount of yelling matches the debate sparks whenever you put guys in the room with booze and bring the subject up. Fortunetly, not one of my friends thinks that LeBron is better. I would also take Dwayne Wade OVER LeBron if you gave me the choice. Really. Nom: I've know four people that have met Jordan, and said nothing other than that he was polite and kind. Everyone's personality traits are going to shine on once in a while. All I know is, Jordan never self-dedicated a TV special to himself about how he would turn traitor on his bread-and-butter home crowd. James did that, and no matter what he does with his career, THAT is what I will remember him for. The most egotistical thing I have ever seen in sports in my fucking life.
All I know is that I've never read of Lebron punching teammates in the face, verbally abusing the team's General Manager, cheating on his wife (...not married yet), breaking down people to the point where they hated even being in the same room as him... Dwayne Wade isn't in the same class as Lebron as an overall player. Fun thought exercise: If we were drafting teams from every player in history, at their prime, who goes first? Does Jordan go in the top 5?
My draft would be as follows: #1: Lebron James; #2: Dwayne Wade; #3: Chris Bosh; #4: Jeremy Lin and #5: Toni Kukoc
Somebody needs to watch some old basketball games. 1) Jordan 2) Bird 3) K. Abdul-Jabbar 4) Dr. J (my favourite) 5) Magic Johnson None of the modern players. I know modern things like advance exercise training and steroids and HGH expensive and processed enough to fool urine exams make players better nowadays, but still NOT better than my above five especiall dealing with the effect they had on the game.
Do you ever have that thing happen to you when you're walking up or down stairs but not QUITE paying full attention, and when you get to the end of the stairs and you THINK there's one more step but there isn't so you take it anyway? AUUUUGH that just happened to me, and I came down with the entire weight of my body on a locked knee on my bad leg. I have fucking Satan's lightning bolt shooting endlessly through my hip nerve endings right now. God DAMN hat sucks, and nobody was even here to laugh at me.
Can't fault that. The Doctor will always be my fave: I was a 76ers fan as a kid, and aside from Dr. J they had Barkley and Moses Malone. However, nobody compared to The Doctor. He invented half the dunks guys still use today: ...the guy just made that shit look so easy, and it WASN'T.
I kinda regret that I'm too young to have seen Oscar Robertson play. His numbers are pretty insane, but I hear he pretty much had the ball in his hands at all times, so maybe he's not quite as good as the raw stats indicate.
Nevermind the name. If I had Benedict Cumberbatch's voice, well, I imagine the rest of my life would just fall into place. Suffice to say, I was pretty excited to hear he is doing the voice of Smaug in the upcoming Hobbit movies.
I know next to zero about basketball, having stopped watching it right around the time the Pistons stopped winning championships (that would have made me 10, so there's a big gap in my awareness of the sport). I DO know, however, that you can't have Bird without Johnson. Larry Bird lived to beat Magic Johnson just to watch him die. By his own admission, once Magic was gone, Bird lost interest in truly competing.
This is now a ROLLIE FINGERS MUSTACHE Thread. I'll start watching sports when everyone wears a 'stache like that. Fucking kids.
