"The Villain Becomes The Hero? I must now defend MJ's legacy"


  

          


My record speaks for itself. Nobody hated on Jordan like me. I was a teen posting on Rec.sport.basketball.pro with Judden and SKF tryna destroy that man's legacy as he was making history night after night. I've never worn the man's shoes. Hell, I legit think I've never TOUCHED a pair. I flat out didn't like the guy. He tried to ruin Isiah and Stern and Falk helped him. I wished terrible things on that man.

All that said, agendas change. I don't like what I see happening in basketball media. The STANDARD was SIX. Nevermind that Kareem had SIX and ALL THEM STATS! I accepted the charade and sat my ass here and rooted for Shaq, Duncan, Kobe, ANYONE who could come close to matching the STANDARD that MJ set. Let's be clear, I only accepted it because my legit criticism about the era in which MJ played, the bum teams he faced in the finals, how he only shined when Bird, Isiah and Magic got old...all that got shot down and laughed off.

Cool.

But, now, I see people tryna throw SIX out the window and highlight LONGEVITY (KAREEEEEEM!!!!!), triple doubles (the most overrated stat in sports, as Euro-influenced positionless basketball has put the ball on the hands of big ass skill players 70% of the time...I will not be one of y'all cysing Jokic like his big soft ass is a legend......these guys are like the Kirk Cousins and Alex Smiths of basketball...all numbers...no thank you) and FINALS APPEARANCES (somehow, same people laugh at Brady whenever he loses a SB, despite having FIVE), I'm gonna make it a priority to restore some damn order. We can't just be changing rules so our faves can get credit.

Bron is top 5 ever. But, he ain't better than no damn Jordan. I saw Jordan and I see this bamma. We not doing this. Before that whole bum ass THREE IS ENOUGH campaign that's going around twitter and the blogs infects this board, I'm drawing the line. Win 3 more and we can talk. It's that's simple.

They really tryna throw Mike in the bushes NOW? After all that hate I put into knocking him down? FOR THIS 3-6 bamma? No way.

I ain't gonna hate LeBron, because he's a far better person than Jordan. But, nobody gonna say he better than Mike without me responding. Unlike unclaimed bags and inappropriate comments from white women at work, if I see it, I'MMA SAY SOMETHING!

Apr 16th 2018

He passed Kobe before he even won a ring and now has him in the dust
Apr 16th 2018

This is sad, OE. Let it go.
Apr 16th 2018

Apr 16th 2018

It's amazing how sensitive Bron makes fans.
Apr 16th 2018
16
      It’s amazing how Bron stans won’t shut up about Kobe
Apr 17th 2018
46
           U sad Kobe = Dominique Wilkins with better teammates, or naw?
Apr 17th 2018
48
           Listen, Carmelo is trash but you dont need to lash out about it.
Apr 17th 2018
50
                Nah, but foreal: Kobe is Dominique with better teammates
Apr 17th 2018
58
                     What's that make Carmelo?
Apr 17th 2018

28
Which do you hate more
Apr 16th 2018

I'm REAL mad I gotta defend Jordan.
Apr 16th 2018
9
better question: would he make this thread if Kyrie were still a Cav?
Apr 16th 2018
10
      Yes, because Kyrie would get blamed for them losing like last year
Apr 16th 2018
11
Not like this, Ba.
Apr 16th 2018
17
i'm not cysing 3 titles over Jordan. Simple as that.
Apr 16th 2018
18
      Who exactly are you cysing over Bron?
Apr 16th 2018
19
           Just Jordan and Kareem, for sure. MAYBE Magic.
Apr 16th 2018
20
                Unfortunately, Lebron is a lot better than Magic, but all good.
Apr 16th 2018
25
Forget Jordan, I still have him behind Kobe, Duncan and maybe Shaq.
Apr 16th 2018
21
LOL. No, you don't.
Apr 16th 2018
24
Huh?
Apr 16th 2018
26
      You don't have those niggas above Lebron. Stop.
Apr 17th 2018
39
           Oh I definitely do. If it's a 7 Game Series and I'm trying to win it...
Apr 17th 2018
42
                Naw, you lying. Love is love, though.
Apr 17th 2018
45

Apr 19th 2018
140
      I want James Worthy over Lebron in any important game.
Apr 19th 2018
142
           Big Shot Bron? Nah, gimme Robert Horry
Apr 19th 2018
143
Somebody mentioned Dr. J?
Apr 17th 2018
31
      thats what they do rather than make points, pretend you made fake ones
Apr 17th 2018
32
           It's pretty bizarre. Lol... they be serious too.
Apr 17th 2018
43
                Nigga, you said Kobe better. That's a "fake point" too.
Apr 17th 2018
47
                     You want it to be beyond debate, but it's clearly a sound argument
Apr 17th 2018
53
                          No, you don't.
Apr 17th 2018
57
                          5>3 is not a sound argument.
Apr 19th 2018
144
You're talking about individual talent and career achivements
Apr 17th 2018
44
      If it's old school, you picking a team for a 7 game series...
Apr 17th 2018
54
           Kobe gets you swept. Lebron wins you a series. No debate.
Apr 18th 2018
69
                Kobe's 5-2 in the Finals. Lebron is 3-5 ***shrugs***
Apr 18th 2018
81
                     dudes acting like rings are actually just hypothetical projections
Apr 18th 2018
83
                     Finals MVPs are real things. So how many Kobe got vs. Lebron?
Apr 18th 2018
97
                          too bad they dont give out rings for those :(
Apr 18th 2018
107
                               I know, Finals MVPs HARDER to get than rings. Lebron got more.
Apr 18th 2018
109
                     I mean, if we wanna do petty: how many Finals MVPs they got?
Apr 18th 2018
96
                          The ole... "If he didn't win MVP... it don't count!"
Apr 18th 2018
99
                               LMAO! LMAO! LMAO! Nigga YOU brought up chips.

If Kobe jumped ship to better teams TWICE, he's have 10 rings
Apr 17th 2018
56
If Lebron has prime Shaq and Pau, he'd have 7 (at least)
Apr 17th 2018
59
Kobe wins with LeBron's squad in 2011...
Apr 18th 2018
127
      Lebron wins with Kobe's 2004 and 2008, teams at least.
Apr 19th 2018
146

Apr 18th 2018
85

Apr 18th 2018
110
                          Naw, all those finals in a row DONT COUNT to them, remember?
Apr 18th 2018
116
                          shit is bizarro.
Apr 18th 2018
122
                          Wade's HOF big man didnt play. how about Bron's?
Apr 19th 2018
139
                               what about when they did play together? .500 ballclub
Apr 19th 2018
145
      I simply stated a set of facts
Apr 18th 2018
88
           You're not describing LeBron's teammates, but previous rosters. Liar
Apr 18th 2018
130
                I'm describing what those teams accomplished prior to Bron's arrival.
Apr 18th 2018
132
                     Why can't you talk about LeBron's actual teammates tho?
Apr 18th 2018
137
                          happy to talk about the roster he played with.
Apr 18th 2018
138
      smh
Apr 18th 2018
73
      so disingenuous.
Apr 18th 2018
80
           it literally happened twice.
Apr 18th 2018
86
           so imprecise.
Apr 18th 2018
93
           you exaggerate how poor that team was bc it supports your narrative.
Apr 18th 2018
111
                Naw, people are equating "The decision" to Durant's, and its ludicrous.
Apr 18th 2018
114
                lol. bro.
Apr 18th 2018
119
                     well we actually read what people say.
Apr 18th 2018
120
                          sure, tinfoil beanie.
Apr 18th 2018
123
                               gosh that's creative.
Apr 18th 2018
125
                                    19th
Apr 18th 2018
126
                You're bloating that team's stature to support your narrative
Apr 18th 2018
121
           Wait -- so what "superteam" did Lebron join in Cleveland?
Apr 18th 2018
95
                i didn't say shit about cleveland.
Apr 18th 2018
112
                     Lebron has made two huge risky moves, won chips in both.
Apr 18th 2018
115
                          the team he joined in miami wasn't as bad as vex pretends it was.
Apr 18th 2018
117
                               They're liars...selectively cherrypicking data to support their stannery
Apr 18th 2018
131
                               Who cares? It was a huge risk, and he won. Y'all need to cry.
Apr 18th 2018
134
                                    Actually moving back to Cleveland was lowering the bar
Apr 18th 2018
136
                                         EXACTLY!!! And he WON ANYWAY!! BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHH
Apr 19th 2018
141

What's funny is that nobody has actually disagreed w/ your take
Apr 18th 2018
90
      since he parted ways with ky? you really are all-in delusional, vex.
Apr 18th 2018
113
