    Michael Jordan

    THANK YOU! I really cannot believe that not only was Jordan not named one time, but also that every single person named a different player..wtf??

    As a Rockets fan, we have a long standing rivalry with the Bulls, but I'm still able to admit that Jordan is the GOAT.

    What rivalry with the Bulls?

    Clearly you don't recall how Jordan came back to lead the Bulls to a win blocking our three-peat in the 90s. We never got over it.

    Jordan ain't block ? . That was the beginning of the rockets decline. The year Jordan came back we didn't even make it to the wcf. If any team blocked us it was a very good Utah jazz team. There's no such thing as a rockets/bulls rivalry though to see them in a finals would've been interesting to say the least..

    Jordan ain't block ? when he came back... when Jordan came back he got waxed by Penny and Shaq. and in turn Hakeem waxed Penny and Shaq enroute to winning ring #2.

    The Bulls would sign Rodman in the offsean and the rest is history....

    Saying MJ got waxed after only playing 17 regular season games is disingenuous.

    Its MJ, Kobe, Shaq, Kareem and Magic/Lebron in that order.

    Career wise it's probably Kareem Abdul Jabaar if you count highschool, college, and pros.

    Rodman would get Green thrown out a game in the quickness

    Pip & Jordan lockin KD & Curry down

    Ain't nobody locking KD down. If Prime Kawhi and LeBron can't stop him from getting his numbers MJ not Pippen is either. Curry would get shut down though.

    You can't pick a GOAT there's too many factors. Generally speaking tho, Jordan, Russell, Magic, Chamberlain and Kareem interchangeable as #1 depending on who you ask and what era they're from.

    Solid roster. Respect for all those players. Only one missing is Gary Payton. One of the best defensive players in the league.

    How is this a solid list when it has Kevin Garnett and karl Malone but no LeBron?

    Lebron is the Kendrick Lamar of the NBA. Came in the game after legends and hasn't had any real competition. He's coasting off the lack of real talent. Players aren't drafted the same, scouted the same, hell they aren't even coached the same as it was before.

    He is the "franchise player". He became marketable and every player after him is supposed to fit that mold. He isn't a legend imo. He's a product. True he does numbers but look who he's up against.

    A warrior with no war is just a mf with impressive stats.

    His numbers look good but when you break down his career, what impact has he really made?

    Glad this ? don't post in the NBA thread

    That atrocious quote still needs to find its way into the dumbest ? thread, good lawd what an awful take

    At first, I thought maybe they were picking lesser known underrated players who people forget. But I think some of those people don't even play basketball so...idk. They were trolling
