Charles Barkley was a freak of nature. There are actual people who never watched Barkley play who think he was some slow fat PF who just grabbed rebounds. This is the problem we are dealing with. All this info is available and some people don’t bother searching for it.

2006 Jordan Camp. 43 year old MJ playing against a top ranked HS player in the country OJ Mayo. OJ talked some trash to Jordan and MJ cleared out the camp. Told OJ “You May be the best high school player, but I’m the greatest ever”. - via Larry Brown Sports YouTube

Imagine MJ trying to score on this technically advanced defense? He’d probably throw it into the crowd from the confusion of figuring it out. “How do I score on this?”

Lebron “carried bums” to the 2007 NBA Finals thread . Cavaliers were 50-32 in 2006-2007.We are told (and it has been just accepted) that Lebron had no help and single handedly carried his terrible supporting cast to the finals The game by game stats tell a different story.

@jordan_exposed Here’s actual games not some YouTube video of plays put together. When you watch the actual games! By the way Jordan had 55 in this game and Strickland went 5 for 18. Jordan was shutting down their PG and dropping 55! Don’t ever disrespect the goat.

Phil Jackson tried to run that system in NY and had 117 wins and 211 losses. Looks like the system needed Jordan.
Jordan needed a system - the triangle - to become a 6-time NBA champ. LeBron is the system everywhere he goes.

There are only a handful of athletes you stop everything to watch play and Barry Sanders is one of my favorite athletes ever. 4.3-4.4 speed, cut on a dime, and when he got in that gallup it was a wrap. You actually laugh at what he did to defenses, especially the run on the Pats

It’s actually so crazy that people give Jordan the edge over LeBron as a defender because he won a DPOY. Idc what anyone says, LeBron was clearly a better defender than MJ at their peaks on that end. Forget the accolades, watch the tape and you’ll see.

MJ adjusted his game to conform with the triangle offense and win. It cost him in the stats, but got him 💍 💍 By Any means necessary. Big scoring numbers are great for the stat sheets, but if you’re forcing others to adjust to your play style, you are not going to be successful.

Wait no one else has done it since 1993? Only 4 times in the the 37 seasons before MJ. No one else in MJ’s era? Either he’s the GOAT or he just had the most perfectly timed career of all time where everyone else in the league was bad at the same time. Sounds stupid right? It is.
In NBA history only 9 times has a player averaged 40+ ppg in a playoff series:. Michael Jordan did it 5 times and is the last to do it. 1986 vs Celtics.43.7 ppg on 50%. 1988 vs Cavs.45.2 ppg on 56%. 1990 vs 76ers.43 ppg on 55%. 1992 vs Heat.45 ppg on 61%. 1993 vs Suns.41 ppg on

We are supposed to believe he wasn’t also one of the greatest all-around players ever. There was literally nothing on the court he couldn’t do. Kill you scoring, passing, defensively. Social media has lied to too many. He’s easily the best player I ever watched in my life.
