Make all the excuses you want, the tape don’t lie.

The NBA in the 80’s was like a really good YMCA run with a lot of big guys. Beers, blow, and hookers after the game.

Hookers, blow, full blown AIDS, trash talking, fights.....WTF more do you want?

You mean the videos you didnt watch dispelling your notion the 80's guys 'literally can't pass or dribble'?ThomasFremont said:Make all the excuses you want, the tape don’t lie.

And I never said they couldn’t pass. I said they couldn’t shoot. And they definitely can’t dribble. Your boy Pistol was such a standout by comparison for a reason.
Cmon man...it’s not an indictment on you personally. It’s just the evolution of the game/skills/etc. Happens everywhere.
Can you imagine Babe Ruth having to hit against modern pitchers? -

If Michael Jordan had been born in 1995, he'd be stronger, faster, and better at the game today than he was when he was actually 25 due to all those advantages.
So if you want to take an older player and compare him with today's players, you have to take into account that the older player would be improved if he was born in a more modern era.

It’s not just the strength and conditioning difference (which is considerable).
Guys literally can’t shoot OR dribble.
Sure they can take an elbow in the face and get back up, but so what? Nobody in their right mind thinks basketball is some full contact blood sport with a ball thrown in.
But if it was, I’m pretty sure LeBron James would be even more dominant. Can you imagine Isaih Thomas trying to tackle LeBron going to the hoop?

And yet in 1991 took his team to the NBA finals. Funny thing about that series is I remember actually watching it when it was played. Magic revolutionized how the point position was played and who could play it. If you can't recognize that and how great he was you should find another sport to talk about. You would be laughed out of the room by any NBA player with this take you're pushing. Big belly laughs.backthepack said:

Stop pretending this is some intangible mental fortitude argument. It’s not.

So if you want to take an older player and compare him with today's players, you have to take into account that the older player would be improved if he was born in a more modern era.
Then watch now.
It’s not just the strength and conditioning difference (which is considerable).
Guys literally can’t shoot OR dribble.
Sure they can take an elbow in the face and get back up, but so what? Nobody in their right mind thinks basketball is some full contact blood sport with a ball thrown in.
But if it was, I’m pretty sure LeBron James would be even more dominant. Can you imagine Isaih Thomas trying to tackle LeBron going to the hoop?
LeBron was a bigger and stronger athlete out of HS than MJ ever was.
Laimbeer would get his face smashed in by LeBron. Jordan is the pussy for letting it happen to him.
Stop pretending this is some intangible mental fortitude argument. It’s not.
And if it was, then MJ is the mental weakling for coasting on his talent in HS, college and the early years of his NBA career instead of working hard to keep his body in peak physical condition. If a player refused to lift weights in any sport nowadays we’d call them a lazy piece of shit.
And it is about mental fortitude. LeBron does not have it. He is a generational talent, top-5 all-time. He is not the goat.
Ask the Warriors -
And Lebron is the only one to best Tim Duncan in a Final

If Michael Jordan had been born in 1995, he'd be stronger, faster, and better at the game today than he was when he was actually 25 due to all those advantages.

He’s somewhat mentally soft. He still would dominate in any era. He would be way too big and fast for anyone back then. He also would still have an elite IQ.BleachedAnusDawg said:

Pot stirring. Or you're flat ass blind..
Most likely abundance.
Turned his back to pressure.
dribbled with his inside hand etc. -

More random thoughts
From 07 to 11 America wanted Kobe V Lebron in the Finals. So close
07 the Cavs are in but the Spurs win the west
08, 09, and 10 the Lakers win the West but the Celtics, Magic, and Celtics win the East
11 - Lebron and Miami win the east. Dallas knocks out the defending champion Lakers and goes to the Finals
And the Laker window shut -
Fugazy mofo'ers always talk about shoving something up one's ass.
The lowest selected NBA Lottery pick will bank just over 10 million before taxes at the very least in their 1st 3 seasons with the 4th season being a team option. Add in any endorsement money and a person can be set for life and live very comfortably off of their 1st contract if they invest it wisely and don't over spend. A player can make more money from endorsements than from playing on a NBA rookie contract.
Recognize game...
