I agree
Kobe aint no MJ. no one will ever be better than MJ
It'll happn someday unless the rules change to a point where it can't happen. We might be around to see it or we might not. But just know that it will happen one day if the sport lives up til that day.

I think people are overrating MJ. I mean back in his day the game was NOWHERE near what it was today, not speed, not strength, not how physical it is, not anything. Sure he is arguably the best of HIS time, but if he was in his prime and playing right now, I don't know how much better he would be than the star players right now. (The game has changed since his day, thats what I'm trying to say)
Are u <Censored>ing serious? Have u ever heard of the bad boys. I mean look at the foul mchale had on kurt rambis. Thats more physical than any foul i've ever seen in the last 5 years. Jordan at 40 years old was averaging 20ppg 3apg 6 rbg. I'm convinced now that u have never seen mj play or have a clear bias besides the ball hog thing. And i can't beliieve you are doubting the athletic ability of the players back then. I mean Jordan was running a 4.3 and u doubt the speed of back then. Jordan is the best of ALL TIME!

Dead serious. Everyone is saying how MJ is the best ever, but he doesn't play with the speed, strength, or anything of todays game. And the Bad Boys were like how most teams are now...and i'm not doubting the players back then, i'm just saying they aren't as fast, strong, or physical as the ones today.

No matter what you say Jordan (if he were in the league today) would not be the top 5 fastest players....unless it was 5. And yea I've heard of Bill, Rodman, Oakley...but they still were just as bad as people in the league today.

I'm just saying if he was in his prime and in the league today, he would not be head and shoulders above everyone.

This argument makes no sense because there is no way of knowing which is right. All we can look at is what each player did in his own time.

Exactly. So its just what I think, against what everyone else thinks.

My personal opinion though would be the two MJs(Magic, Jordan) are both in the top 5 ever, but yeah Micheal Jordan is the best of all time.

What does this have to do with the finals anyway?

There was a thing on ESPN today about Leon Powe used to be homeless. Just makes me a bigger fan of his.

only ones who i think could compete with speed is Iverson and parker. Iverson ran a 4.6 as a freshman in hs. Thats the only time i ever heard of his speed timed.

all the guys you mentioned are little guys
6'-6'4

Michael was 6'6! just mentioning him with those smaller guys' speed is enough

I really don't know what to feel anymore. Because I don't know if losing in a potential Game 7 makes it any better than losing in Game 5. I guess what I'm trying to say it that it's pretty much imminent that the Lakers are gonna lose. But anything can happen.. =\

They gotta make sure to take it one game at a time.
