You're just contradicting yourself. Issokay
You're a confused Muppet that simply cannot read. Why are players who are not the epitome of speed, athleticism and power dominating this era that is supposed to be filled with quicker, bigger and stronger players.

That's your problem, you believe that being a great player is measured only by your ability to put the ball in the basket. Tell me how Harden did all that and still wasn't MVP.
No mugu. But the ability to put the ball in the basket is the single most important trait. Every other scheme revolves around putting it in the basket and preventing the other team from putting it in the basket.

Because his competition matched that and also played the other end of the floor just like the GOAT

Opinions are allowed but I think I would take the opinion of the coaches who make a living covering and coaching the sport over yours sha.

When a player primarily known for his scoring makes 9 all-defense teams and wins a DPOY and consistently finishes as a top 5 Defensive Player of the Year candidate for most of his career then he is clearly doing something right.

And who told you that I agreed with you on today's players replicating Jordan's moves?

I don't have time for all this blatant ignorance from you. I'm very sure you didn't even watch Jordan play, so you're not even in the right position to argue with me about Jordan. And don't you mention YouTube for me.
Who cares if you agree or not? What a Muppet! We have a whole player who copied Jordan and made a Hall of Fame career, we had inferior versions who became all-stars. We have another HOFer who made it one-legged and dominated the league. We had a Kawhi who pundits were likening his style to Jordan

But we have one Mufu from Agbado-Crossing telling me he does not agree with it like that will reduce the price of Loud.

I don't need to prove to you whether I watched Jordan play or not. It will not add $1 to anyone's account

Look at the photo I attached and notice the portion I highlighted before you begin with your folly. You mentioned qualities like bigger, stronger, faster and more athletic and I highlighted the last three because although SC and IT are not big, they are certainly stronger, faster and more athletic than point guards from the previous era. Just like we had Jerry West, John Stockton and Steve Nash do well in their eras, SC and IT are doing well in this era as well. Or do you expect a point guard to be as strong as a power forward just because they play in an era that is stronger and bigger. Compare SC of this era to Jerry West of that era and tell me who is bigger, stronger, faster and more athletic. Also compare IT of this era and Mogsy Bogues of that era.

Don’t forget the most important, we also have their “SHEEP” who has spent his entire career chasing the ghost from Chicago. The same ghost he wanted to be like while he was growing up, the same ghost is the reason he chose the 23, the same ghost he he has conceded he is never catching, the same ghost who said 5 beats 3 any day! The ghost in Chicago stopped playing decades ago but he still haunts them daily.

You would have a point only if Jordan scored 100% of his team's points. But since others also scored, while contributing on the defensive end, I'm afraid you can't just sweep their contributions under the carpet.

Who is LeNomad copying with his fadeaway moves? What an anuofia. Why did he have to work on that when his shaky jumper got exposed in the post season and he couldn't barrel into the paint at times

Steph plays in an era better suited for smaller players not just to shine but to be arguably the best player in the league.

You're hopelessly demented if you cannot see that what makes Steph great has nothing to do with Speed, strength or athleticism. What proof do you have that Steph and IT are stronger and more athletic than PG's from that era? You mean Steph is stronger and more athletic than Gary Payton, Penny Hardaway, Kevin Johnson?

The Steph Curry that is missing wide open dunks is supposed to be quicker, stronger and more athletic than older generation PG's? You positively must be on crack!!

It would have been better if you had just allowed me think you're were a Rank Xerox merely incapable of original thought than to speak and affirm my worst fears that you are a complete poof with life threatening stupidity embedded in him

And finally ode. Come and show me the season Muggsy Bogues averaged more than 11 pts per game and show me how many All-star, All-NBA appearances he made. Typical Bronsexual always name dropping foolishly. Onye Nzuzu

Lol you're stupid beyond redemption. A player playing for supposedly stacked teams should not be contributing the most percentage of points for his team in Finals history on 3 out of 6 occasions. That was the crux of the post you foolish Bronsexual

The nerve of that imposter to copy this man from start to finish of his career, picking same number, trying to ring chase and even trying to reenact movies.

Come and explain the correlation of IT's achievements in today's league and that of Muggsy Bogues back then that made you foolishly name-drop him?

Can you imagine growing up idolizing someone and then becoming better than they could ever imagine? The bald degenerate always feared him for he knew that the hammer of akron was in fact the chosen one after all. Like i said, i won't waste my time on a debate we are winning on a larger scale and are inevitably going to emerge victorious.


But you must understand, the king chases no man. Its all about widening the gap such that no man even comes close.

IMHO comparing eras does not really work because of the type of play and differences in rules. Especially in teams sports from football to basketball and American football to name a few, different eras are difficult to compare across board because of even little things like nutrition, ease of commute etc.
I remember one open court episode where Shaq could not believe there was a time NBA players flew coach, little things like this even advance in medical sciences simply ensures that a level playing field for comparison does not objectively exist.
