Not biased I am just stating fact. Jordan’s rise to greatness only lasted for a short period.

Russell was the reason why they were winning though. Teams have had multiple HOF’s, but no teams did what the Celtics have done in the entire history of the NBA. Less teams with a lot less players that don’t belong in the NBA like today. It wasn’t that Wilt was a 7 footer. Wilt was the most imposing player of that time.

Honestly it didn’t matter when Floyd would’ve fought them and you know that but just won’t say it. You know that a younger Floyd would have made those fights worse. Berto and Maidana were still former world champions. Beating Canelo when Floyd was past his prime was better than beating Pac or Cotto.
>Tiger has been pro for 22 yrs and he hasn't been dominant >since 2009, which was 9 yrs ago. Do the math there. >
Okay let’s do the math shall we. You are actually inaccurate regarding Tiger. He was PGA Tour POTY in 2013 and the leading money earner that year as well. He has missed a few years due to back injury. So it’s actually been 5 years and not 9 since Tiger has been at the top of the golf world. Even though Tiger is not where he used to be (and I believe that he has a couple of major victories left in the tank), he still generates a buzz that can’t be explained. Based off of rep alone there were people that thought that Tiger was going to win The Masters. He still has an impact on the game 20 years later.
