magic didnt even guard bird
michael cooper did
And he cooked that nigga too
When Magic did guard Bird he caught it
I will take LEBRON JAMES over in his PRIME over

yeah thats the reason why bird said cooper was the greatest defender he ever played against
clearly you dont know what youre talking about
Bron has finished top 5 in DPOY past 3 years and last year should have won and is all defense every year
Not saying Magic isn't a good defender but Lebron is an Elite defender. Honestly I can't speak on O defense I haven't seen the footage.
Im not saying Bron isnt incredible
but those awards and shit dont mean nothing when he plays in a way softer ticky tack touch foul NBA
hell we've seen lebron mentally collapse during this era
i just couldnt imagine him against those pistons teams of the 80's(hell even the knicks of the 90s)
im just saying let lebron be the king of this generation
but the mj comparison is just taking shit way too far
I reply very little on this board but hollar at me when Lebron wins 3 in a row, retires, plays another sport (1 year of NFL Football at TE for him because he is a big MoFo), then comes back and 3 more in a row. Then I might think about it.
Lmaoooo at the moistness in your font
Don't believe me go back and watch all the games between the lakers and celtics and check birds career stats vs the lakers
I don't make shit up
im using the same font as you dummy
and like i said you clearly have no idea what youre talking about
youre the same dude who didnt know what a first step was
you had no idea that cooper solely covered bird
beeii jr move on.........you dont know shit about basketball just bandwagons
Lebron was the reason the heat lost VS Dallas.....you can never say that about MJ.
Yeah I agree Bron's lack of a post game and playing with his back to the basketball was the difference
These past 2 seasons u see he is playing with his back to the basket and absolutely murdering mofos nightly
On a bad night he would get 40...
No hand checking?...no Mahorn,Laimbeer,McHale knocking him on his ass if he drove the lane?
Imagine if they had flagrant fouls back then?...
Only time they called flagrant back then was if you got clotheslined....maybe.
On some real shit what's your problem? You with this name calling shit and I haven't even came at you calling u dummy and other dumb shit
Relax nigga we talking basketball..
If we going to speak like grown men lets do so
If u going to be emotional and slide in slick jabs let me know that's the lane u going and I will address u accordingly
man dude mightve averaged 50 a night in this era
and im not exaggerating
i mean the kid put up 38, 8, and 8 getting murdered out there
the shit was superhuman!
i dont have a problem with you..but you called me moist
dude im going to respond to that
and in basketball, you like the heat, i like the knicks
so we're going to go hard at eachother
its what it is
the same way i treat the foreskins fans
then after the season, we're cool as ice again!
this isnt personal man...this is bgol entertainment
but if you want to go there...you know i dont mind!
Now to address ur point about me not knowing a first step was kindly refresh my memory because u got me confused
Second where did u assume I didn't know cooper covered Bird solely?
Please explain your logic
man you said magic got torched by bird
when they rarely guarded each other
the matchup was always cooper vs bird
and those shits were classics
the best defender in the league vs one of the greatest scorers in history
nigga!

Alex what's difference in calling u moist or saying their is moistness in your post?
There's a big difference
yes, he is. by far.
earvin johnson was a notoriously poor on ball defender.
the fakers had to hide him on D most of his career.
Thanks Cranrab lol
Now I told Alex Bird use to cook Magic when Magic defended him
Is this true because Alex is saying otherwise
Also when Micheal Cooper defended Bird what was the outcome?
Lebron was the reason the heat lost VS Dallas.....you can never say that about MJ.
Jordan went out in the first round (twice), you cant say that bout Bron. Triple double in his first ever playoff game. Did MJ do that?
well, you're both wrong in the sense that it was never earvin johnson or michael cooper. many games it was james worthy or michael cooper.
in the end, EVERYONE got cooked by larry bird.
the difference is michael cooper was the smartest. everybody else let larry bird catch the ball, THEN tried to play D. too late. larry bird was far too skilled.
michael cooper was more dedicated than most in that he would work on denial first.
Bron is the reason the heat aren't 3peating right now......thats far greater than him putting up a triple double.
So cranrab confirms what I said and all you give him is a
?
man if i start debating cran, id be here until 2am
im just not in the mood today
but cran will easily confirm cooper tho
the most amusing part of this thread is that some usernames commenting literally weren't even born yet when michael jordan joined the chicago bulls. others were only 3-5 years old at the time, but that doesn't stop them from commenting.
i can tell you the biggest difference between michael jordan and today's best players, and those revisionists and others attempting to play catch up with youtube (or some such) will never get it.
michael jordan taking the court was like mike tyson entering the ring. opponents were shook. players, coaches, fans. every night there was a dread that michael jordan was going to put it on you.
outside of shaquille o'neal, there hasn't been a player in the NBA since who has inspired that sort of expectation or fear.

Cool
Would you say know with Lebrons level of play that he is entering that terroritory of fear that Mike gave opposing players and coaches?
Couldnt have said it better. Lebron is an immensely gifted athlete but he's got some bitch in him too. Going to a team with another marquee player tarnishes his legacy I dont give a fuck what anyone says. MJ helped Scottie become his Tonto. And when they got Rodman in 96 he had to be tamed by MJ in order to contribute and fit in with the team chemistry. Both of those 3 peat bulls teams were chock full of average players, but Jordan made average players great.
Granted, Bron is a freak of nature and on paper he MIGHT do more than Mike when its all said and done but he will never ever be as great a player as the GOAT. MJ's will power, confidence, killer instinct, graceful style of play and unrelenting competitive fire sets him apart from everyone else. There will never be another. End of discussion
chiiiiiiiiiiilllllllllllll
U swingin from Bron's nuts too hard bro. You bought up all them new fruity colored sneaks huh? bright orange galaxies, taxis, teal n pink South beaches n shit huh? I feel u playa, get fresh on them, youngthug.

Every once in a while you pop up and remind us all how great it is when you are absent. Please remind us again now and stop posting bullshit...
LMAO at Lebron ever LEADING a team to playoff series victories over teams like the bad boys Pistons or the Ewing, Oakley, Starks Knicks.
Don't get me wrong Lebron is great player, but not the greatest. Dude is really just a 2.0 version of Scottie Pippen.

and referees. Jordan instilled "fear" in them too.
In a debate between LeBron and MJ, the last thing you want to bring up are postseason resumes.
6 Finals appearances, 6 titles, 6 Finals MVP awards.
LeBron is 1-2.
You forgot to mention this bout Jordan...
1st 3 Playoff appearances
1985 lost 1-3 to Milwaukee in the 1st round
1986 lost 0-3 to Boston in the 1st round
1987 lost 0-3 to Boston in the 1st round
LeBron's will was just to great to let Cleveland or Miami get SWEPT in the 1st round of the playoffs. Jordan was not good enough to come in the league straight out of Laney High at 18 years old and be the man. LeBron did just that. Jordan couldnt win a single playoff series until the Bulls pulled off draft day trades to nab Pippen & Grant. FACT. You guys only look at J after he won titles but ignore the 1st 7 years of his career. LeBron's resume at 28 is better than J's was.
