    Jordan fans need to chill.

    Bron is never gonna be better than Jordan. At best he gonna be close enough to be in the conversation. The best all time gonna be a 3 man race between MJ, Bron, and Kareem. Gonna end up something like 60% gonna have MJ, 25% gonna have Bron, and 10% gonna have Kareem, but overall, MJ still gonna be the consensus #1.

    Always showing up in the playoffs will matter when that goat discussion is had. Taking games off and losing to a clearly inferior team doesnt help.

    But Jordan has had ? playoff games too. Contrary to popular belief he wasn't perfect and had some bad playoff games when his team needed him too

    Has he ever been accused of playing passive or scared? I laugh when people say that they wanna see the RoboBron or whatever they call him. giphy.gif?response_id=592255e048dda0e39da266ad

    MJ was in destroy mode at all times. If his shot ain't fallin, he at least was giving full effort and not playing scared. You don't have to worry about which MJ is gonna show up. Lebron don't have that killer instinct that Jordan and Kobe possess. I'ts why little ? and role players like DeShawn Stevenson, Lance, Draymond don't have no problem stepping to him. Lebron is a great player but he can be frustrating to watch at times.

    Idk-Ron Artest tried to son Kobe a couple of times and the pistons used to go at Jordan faithfully. ? Lance gave lebron his props this year when the pacers lost.

    Lebron has a chance to be better but he gotta stop the ? ? ? . I already stated he top 3 right now.

    i seen that anthony bennett won himself a euro league championship yesterday

    so i go to check his stats

    ?

    1.3 PPG
    1.0 RPG
    0.2 APG

    i thought i was looking at d wade high school gpa
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLVgmL3237Q

    @ 22 seconds

    lmao

    nerlens noel heard stern call bennett name on draft night and thought someone was ? with him

    'with the first pick in the 2013 nba draft the cleveland cavaliers select anthony bennett of toronto canada and the university of nevada las vegas'

    - david stern

    'wish these people would stop playing and start the draft for real' - nerlens noel

    even the espn analysts had to take a few seconds to recover from the shock of that pick

    @Frenchy

    Ok ok ok. IT HAPPENS. Better yet than vs GSW.

    Celtics played with heart and dignity. They have amend themselves for the Boston massacre. I have, we have to respect that.

    Imo its a good wake up call for the Cavs : stay FOCUS and dedicated

    The series will end up in 5 , max in 6.

    Go ? a croissant.

    ? !

    lmaoooooooooo!!!!

    While I agree LeBron can be confusing to watch at times it amazing how people forget just how much Jordan let the Pistons get to him and all the complaining he did. Go look at the Bad Boys documentary NBA TV did and they have footage in it of MJ whining about how the Pistons played him and how it was bad for the game and needed to be done away with. MJ is the goat but he wasn't this perfect player who never had a bad game. He had his share of bad playoff games too...less than most but he had moments he didn't always show up

    Beating ? up on the court isn't good defense man. That ? was bad for the game Jordan always showed up in the playoffs and i dont think anyone say he never had had games, just none in the playoffs

    I agree the "I can't stop you so ima hurt you" defensive strategy is ? and that's why I laugh when people say players were so much better in the past.

    MJ did have bad playoff games though. For instance everyone remembers Jordan dropping 63 pts vs Boston but its never mentioned the next game he went 8-18 wit 5 turnovers. Another elimination game he shot 9-30 and lost. Another game he shot 5-15 in a game and his team lost the series lead and eventually the series itself. 1990 ECF game he shot 7-19...he's had bad playoff games. ? have just been brainwashed by only seeing his highlight reels people now think he never made any mistakes

    MJ had bad games in the playoffs as well.

    The difference is NO ONE could ever question MJ effort and say he quit on his team.

    MJ always played hard and did everything he could to win whether his shot was falling or not.

    There has been more than one occasion where people could ask those questions of LeBron and that ? is going to always follow him.

    Anybody taking Kawhi over KD or vice versa?
    And is KD still a top 5 player?


    My mans strongly believes KD isn't top 5 anymore because he didn't make 1st team. I think that's a ? reason. Before KD got injured he was the definition of efficient.
