I don't literally laugh out loud to many posts on here, but I lol'd pretty good when I read this one.

Are we really dismissing the fact CC said Jordan missed 3 years? When in fact it was 1.75 and he joined a near 60 win team for the playoffs and lost to the Magic. And don't give me he was rusty...his averages were what his career said they should be. Orlando beat them that year.

When he says stupid shit like this:

-no euro player would have a real impact on the teams in the 80s and 90s

-Tim Duncan was never the go to guy


It's really hard to get to what you just made fun of him for. All around still providing the lulz for his idiocy.

lol, fair enough.

Jordan hands down is the best of all time. While I believe no one player has made the people around him better than Lebron has, MJ was simply an unstoppable force. Hell in his first MVP season he averaged 35 a game and won DPOY. While Lebron can absolutely take over a game, it's still not to the level MJ could. It's why people like him and Tiger are unmatched, when they're on there has not been another athlete in their sport that can match that

I gotta disagree with this one. You think Jordan was at his best after stepping away from basketball for over a year, and then playing like 17 games at the end of the season? He may have still played well, but he also made a lot of uncharacteristic mistakes that helped lose that series. This is a case where looking at raw stats can be a little deceiving.

Orlando did play a great series, but there's also a reason why the Bulls dominated the following three years.

Pace of play was higher back in Jordan's time(and before Jordan) so scoring averages will always be a little higher before the late 90's. The reality is, Lebron is better than Jordan.

Lol, yeah, when a guy has been saying mindbogglingly stupid things constantly, every once in a while, something slips through the cracks.

MJ is amazing, but the MJ nut huggers are the worst, especially the ones around my age who only legitimately remember MJ from 95-98.

Actually, I think the LBJ nuthuggers are the worst but the MJ nuthuggers are in the same atmosphere. If LBJ gets a few more titles the MJ nuthuggers won't have a chance.
