Plus Like O, plus respect O, ManUtd fans don't give neither to Messi. We hate him. You are NOT a ManUtd fan, so you cant relate.
I have friends who are man utd fans, I am a real madrid fan. Nobody that I know was insulting Messi when man city knocked city out of the champion league

Baba rest. Man United fans are numb about football right now because of the years of under-performance. We dont care who wins or loses as long as Man United is not in the mix. I am talking about a time when Manchester United was king of England and about to be king of Europe, Messi was and still remains a byword, an abomination, the vilest thing that ever lived. You are talking about NOW. Everyone is numb NOW. When we pick up our form and start competiting as favorites again, you would see us in our vilest form.

Maybe me and you grew up in different environments, so I disagree, when Gerrard was playing any man utd fan will jump at him playing for them.
I as a Madrid fan watched live when Madrid fans gave Ronaldinho a standing ovation after watching him demolish their side 3-0. I watch sports to enjoy the game not to see a players downfall.
If I have my team playing I want both teams to play to their very best and my team winning in the end. But where I don't support any team, I want to watch a spectacle, I want to see great players play great.
Lool. Na you know that one. Me I'm telling you United fans don't care for anything Liverpool and vice versa. Paul Ince is persona non grata at Old Trafford till this day

Liverpool fans still hate Michael Owen. I'm sure United fans wouldn't mind a skilled player like Mo Salah in their team. Doesn't mean they like him. A true United fan will never ever cheer for Steven Gerrard don't know the fans you grew around

You watch your sports for whatever reason you want to watch it. I don't police your choice neither should you police mine. Using a one off occasion of Madrid fans applauding Ronaldo and simultaneously showing displeasure at their team's destruction is the outlier not the norm

Your way is not superior to anyone else's way. Sports revolve around the rivalries and disdain for rival teams. Why the Steelers and Ravens remain epic is because of the mutual hate.

All is fair so long as it's within the boundaries of sports and doesn't extend to personals. I don't see anyone here being disrespectful to Bron outside basketball context so make una calm down and stop being so damn sensitive

The fantastic irony too that the Nuggets make their first ever finals on the day Melo announces retirement.

Now to arguably the most underrated controversial debate. Which #15 will the Nuggets retire? Melo's or Jokic's
Jokic of course.

Meanwhile embiid how market? grin

Anyway I hope Warriors fans that downplayed the importance of KD can see the difference now between Durant and Andrew Wiggins. Obviously the Warriors have shown they can win without him, hell they beat him but do you really think you would have a dynasty without Kevin Durant? Your guess is as good as mine.
Anyway I hope LeBron fans that downplayed the importance of Wade and Kyrie can see the difference now between them and Anthony " street clothes " Davis. Obviously LeBron has shown he can win without them, but do you really think LeBron would be in the GOAT conversation without Wade and Kyrie ? Your guess is as good as mine.

There are a lot of Man Utd fans that adores Messi. Just take a peek at the Man Utd thread and you will get your answer.

In all the other instances that he won with wade and kyrie he was the bus driver.

Will jordan be in the goat conversation if he didn’t have pippen?

All hate is legal so long as you're not wishing them death, injuries or some other weird shit..

I don't know what they are waffling about. In what planet is there praise without criticism

We had Chelsea and United fans praying and praying on Pep's downfall. It's the beauty of sports fandom. I don't understand this emo nonsense people are chatting about.

We didn't hear word when they came back from 3-1 down but now that he's been swept again people should be quiet

Jordan was not jumping from team to team every 4 years so we might never find out

All we know is Jordan was the undisputed bus driver of his teams and unlike Bron did not have to run to Miami to learn how to win from a Finals MVP his era.

Jumping from team to team was not the argument.
If jordan did not have pippen he would have been nobody.
If pippen didn’t help jordan he would have never gotten to the finals talkless of winning it.

Lebron did not need the same individual to win a ring, he won with different set of people, all the rings jordan have are all courtesy pippen.

Nonsense. Nobody has won without help so this argument is weak sauce.

Going at Bird's Celtics by yourself is not the same as facing those useless teams in the East in the mid to late 00s

Lebron beat 1 50 win team in 7 years of basketball.

If Jordan played with Pippen left to play with KG, then his final seasons finished it up with Dwyane Wade I'm pretty sure he would have matched what Lebron did. Fortunately he was winning 3peats so he didn't have to run from pillar to post

This is the Pippen they said rescued Jordan's legacy btw. When I say Bronsexuals no know ball it would sound like vendetta

Ooh now, Nobody has won without help.
Using that same argument, What was bron numbers in cleveland before joining Miami to “learn how to win from a Finals MVP his era.”?

Imagine if bron also had pippen early in his career, let’s start imagining, or imagine bron had KG in his early career.

Nobody has done so without help. But Lebron took the easy route. Jordan did not run to play with Olajuwon when he couldn't beat Detroit. He faced them 4 times till he beat them. He could have easily ran away like Bron did when Scottie Pippen scored 2 pts in a Game 7. But he stuck with it while your guy ran from the grind to assemble a Superteam. And still found ways to lose with that Superteam btw

Causation != Correlation but Bronsexuals cannot know this

Tell me the significance of Pippen's contributions here that he went past the first round

I'm sure his 10pts was ohh so crucial to Jordan's 45

I’m sure they had trade of players, why didn’t jordan win with them?

Did jordan beat olajuwon before pippen arrived?

If lebron had gone to miami and didn’t win, where will your own causation = correlation come from?

Tell me why jordan did not win before pippen very small contribution?
Was jordan not dropping 45 points before pippen, why was he still getting swept?

Using your logic, Drop lebron numbers in cleveland before he went to miami.

Common sense is too complex for Bronsexuals. Why did your Lebron get swept by Jokic and Murray even with AD.

Getting swept by a champion caliber Celtics at 23. No shame in that.

Jordan scored playoff record 63 and still lost. That tells me nobody not even your Lebron could have survived them.

Jordan did not run to Miami when he realized he couldn't win. Unless you're suggesting Jordan plays without teammates. Scottie averaged 8pts per game entering the league. He was not some star

Because he faced the Celtics. Who were the best team in the league.

Pippen was not a star in 88 or 89 so your argument is not a gotcha moment. 88 Pippen was not 2010 D. Wade coming off a Finals MVP and scoring title accolades, he wasn't an AD or Kyrie either.

Nothing concern me with his numbers before he went to Miami. All I know is that it took him joining a Finals MVP before he could breakthrough. Jordan did not need that amount of help

Hatred has blind the reasoning of bronasslickers.
Why did jordan get swept in his first 3 seasons in chicago?
What are the names of his teammates in that 3 seasons before pippen came?

Lebron was averaging 20/30 in cleveland and still lost, using your logic “That tells me nobody not even your jordan could have survived them.”

Lebron did not need the same person to win a ring, he wasn’t getting swept first round.

Why didn’t jordan win with all his points before pippen?

He faced the same celtics in his first round in his first 3 seasons?
Did Chicago not trade for players within those 3 seasons?
Why didn’t they win until pippen came and they created a dynasty, or was there a dynasty before pippen?

The same way nothing concern me with jordan numbers before pippen came. All i know is that pippen had to debut before jordan stop getting swept in the first round, jordan needed all help he could get.

You're still asking stupid questions. Like the typical Bronsexual knobjockey you are

Pause and wipe that jizz off your mouth first

Dave Corzine and Orlando Woolridge were Jordan's teammates. If you think Jordan beats Bird Celtics with Pippen's useless 10 points then you need to put down that Colorado

You can see they promptly lost when they faced the Pistons in the next round when Pippen's 10 pts would not cut it

And of course everyone needs help to win you dolt. You Muppets are the ones that swear Lebron can do it all by himself. And cry when we hold you to that standard

Why will Lebron need the same team to win a ring when he can just hop to play with a younger player every 4 years. Imagine Jordan left Pippen then went to play with Kevin Garnett. That's the equivalent of what Lebron did.

Tell us why they lost here despite Pippen's "important contributions" M0ron

You are the thinking like a dullard like the typical bronasslicker.
Stop reasoning from your anus and start using your head.
If points was all that is needed, why didn’t jordan win rings with 63 points?
He was dropping points, Was there a dynasty then?

What a dumb reasoning, so it is that easy to team up with a younger player every 4 years and that guarantees rings?
Why aren’t people doing it?

Also imagine jordan without pippen, would there have been a dynasty?

“Jordan scored playoff record 63 and still lost“. As if lebron wasn’t scoring points. Nincompoop

You want him to form a dynasty his first 3 years in the league.

Truly not all idiots are Bronsexuals but all Bronsexuals are idiots grin grin

getting swept in the first round is an indicator that there was a dynasty to come?
How come pippen was able to form a dynasty in his own first 3 season?
Jordan was dropping points why did he get swept in the first round in first 3 seasons? Did he face boston in those first rounds?

Truly not all dullards are bronasslickers but all bronasslickers are dullards.
