This guy has free reign to spam the thread with every Heat rumor and negative LeBron James mention but cats start pearl clutching and virtue signaling when @KingTaharqa does his act. :lol:

Jondoe is a "Jordan is the GOAT/I buy Air Jordans" guy like the Warriors, Nuggets, Rockets, Kobetards, etc fans in this thread. They have a strong bias and I speak truth that goes against their Nike and David Stern programming.

Jondoe isn't really a basketball fan he's a Pat Riley homer. That's why he doesn't understand the graphic he posted. :yes:
 
You don't mind the positive Bron posts though right

How dare we shower with praise the games all time leading scorer, the most coveted record in the sport. If he can't get grace, then your sport has 0 integrity. We'll see how you Jordan stans (that don't respect anything after Mikey) hold up over time now that everyone knows this isn't for basketball reasons and yall don't really care about the integrity of the sport. All this shit is just white supremacy and colorism that's going to being covered in the documentary. It's part of LeBron's story and truth. Carry on. :yes:
 
The athleticism alone would be a problem
The skill level has also increased
You have big men that can handle and shoot now too
I think this generation could adapt to the old rules if they had to and SOME of the old guys could adapt to the new game too
It’s just basketball though. These professionals would be able to play in any era. The rules and style would be the biggest differentiators. Not every new player would be able to play the old school way and vice versa. Big men are more skilled but guard play isn’t. Isaiah Thomas would murder in today’s game. The floor is more spaced out. You can’t breathe on a dude. A mf like Kenny Smith would be an all star. Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf would clear mf’s.

John Salley tall lanky slow ass wouldn’t be able to play but that’s it. And as far as Athleticism goes,

Jokic probably the best in league right now and his athleticism is….well come on now.
 


Rich to be fair, Jordan Brand isn't really a basketball brand. It's a fashion line and lifestyle brand. His super fans showcasing their lack of bball acumen should be expected at this point, they are desperate. :yes:
 
Maxey is on his way to becoming a Superstar!!!!!

Strongly disagree. Maybe HE couldn’t but these young fucks really believe Jordan and Bird couldn’t play in today’s game. Fuck makes people think that today’s game is more difficult? They literally neutered defense in today’s game. Mf’s had to learn how to beat hand checking and more physical defense. Today’s athletes are just more athletic. I won’t even say more skilled because 80% can’t dribble without carrying, they double step back(travel) and some folks couldn’t even get to the basket without using a EuroStep. And try EuroStep against a Bad Boys type defense. These dudes couldn’t handle a Rueben Patterson or Tony Allen AND with hand checking? Please stop the bullshit John Salley

FOH.

All these dudes do is run around screens and shoot threes. Do people not actually watch the games?
I think the best of the best of every era could play in every era

The bar for the least amount of skill and athleticism you can have and still be a contributor to a winning team is where the bar gets raised more and more
