Jordan's mid-range heavy game would really lend itself well to the current environment. 45 ppg for sure.

Jordan would put up 45/ game in todays NBA. Anyone who actually plays basketball knows how many rules have changed to benefit offense. I couldn't stand the Bulls back in the day but anyone who says Jordan isn't the clear cut #1 just doesn't fully understand the game. these takes be pissing me off. He not averaging 45 ppg. not even worthy of a response tbh Completely asinine |

As i said before, basketball is considered "soft" now because the players have to be protected. They are alot faster stronger and athletic than the past. Theres a reason we have so many ACL tears with better medicine these days compared to the past. Thinking the NBA is easier today is absurd. Wtf ... It's not easier to score when the second someone puts two hands on you it's a foul? |

I don't even wanna slander Russell, but don't mention him as GOAT please. How I feel when Ahsan says Kobe was GOAT, like c'mon bro lets not do this. |

nope would have been Pierce, KG was an addon Yikes which is why I didn't draft him 6th. I mean PP was drafted as a Celtic in the late 90's and played most of his career there, KG came in what? 08? |

And if KD/Lebron had the likes of Craig Ehlo guarding them they would put up 50 a game

If you take John Starks and say he can't put two hands on you it's one thing, but what about Kawhi or Paul George or Durant? They can do that more easily. |

Lebron was a monster the series against Orlando. Basketball is a team game.
MJ had the better career.
Lebron probably better than MJ if you time machined them due to MJ’s shot diet. But MJ born 25 years later would have made himself awesome at 3s and been even better.

because you have a narrow perspective, and want to think the era has nothing to do with the conversation? Being physically bigger than the competition at the era you played doesn't make you GOAT bro, we all like Russell hes a pioneer, but please don't do this...Prime Shaq would body him, hes a product of his era. |

Its basketball not UFC, arguing that someone putting 2 hands on you is a foul is kinda funny as fuck, really want to know what you think a foul is. |

I understood what Bundy said. Royal should leave the troll articles in Top Flight. He quit Top Flight because he wanted Rex to get a team plus does not see it lasting long term after lockdown ends. I disagree on the last party, Royal is a committed simmer and feel like Top Flight will stay alive, I am glad that Rex got a team. BUT I do agree that the shit troll articles (such as this one) does not belong here. agreed with everything except this being a shit article |

If you don’t think the league gets tougher over time, watch Oscar Robertson highlights and then watch Westbrook highlights. And I don’t like RW. 80s to now not as extreme but still a difference.

Thinking the NBA is easier today is absurd. the nba is way easier to score in now the rules clearly have favored in the offense. If you cant see this you really are blind. MJ with no hand checking would avg 35 every season though. |
