He's the GOAT but he is overrated in the sense that people only remember the highlights like he was the perfect player and say shit that doesn't really match alot of the time when talking about him. You talk to some niggas about Jordan and it's "He average 85 ppg, 23 assists, 6 blocks, blew out every team but hit a game winner every week"...alot of the shit just starts to sound ridiculous and contradictory at this point.

dont forget how in his era there were no other prominent 2 guards outside of drexler..
nigga was bein defended by and defendin cornballs he was athletically surperior to..
i fuckin hate Kobe but least he had to battle wit the likes of TMac Carter Wade Arenas and the likes...
also niggas love to bring up the "Jordan Rule" failing to remember the League did away wit that shit in order to keep the Pistons from dominating..
that was the 80s when Jordan aint win shit..
in the 90s u couldnt touch that muthafucka.. and he was a hack.
Jordan is certainly overrated.
No. No. No. You can't blame a nigga for the competition in front of him. Jordan dropped 30 a night over his whooooole career against defenses that were specifically geared to stop him. He was still givin out 50 point nights at 40 fuckin years old to niggas that was in Kobe's class and in their primes. He still averaged 23 points at 40, for a 2 guard, that's crazy.
The 96 class which is widely recognized as the best draft class in NBA history would have been in their athletic peak in 2003, and jordan still averaged 20+ a night. This nigga was 40 bruh, I don't know if you understand how wild that is as a 2 guard. Mike would have been mike no matter what era he played in. That nigga was cold.
He's still the most fundamentally sound basketball player i've ever seen, and only behind kevin mchale, tim duncan, and Akeem in post footwork of the players i've seen. Every team had a 7 footer protecting the rim, not shooting 3s in that era. Imagine this nigga runnin wild in this era in a league with basically no rim protectors. You mean to tell me once a nigga blow by 1 defender there's no one there.... Jesus christ.
Mike the goat cuzz.
didnt say he wasnt the goat..
said u niggas put on extras..
when its not even needed..
by the end of his career niggas on the court wit him was more in awe..
like Kobe's last game.. we wanna talk about the 60 but not how they let that nigga score the shit..
sat back and watched him shoot..
same shit..
Kobe's last game was cool, and corny at the same time.
But no extras, Mike is the best player i've ever seen.....
But ain't nobody just gon discount Lebron and Kareem either, it's a conversation. But Jordan comes out on top when I really weigh it up, every time. If Lebron maintains what he's doing well into his 30s and breaks down at 36-37 with 5 titles. It's a real conversation that really wouldn't have a definitive answer.
i was too young for Kareem..
I watched Jordan and was into basketball moreso than i am now..
im more of a casual watcher..
now imma give yall niggas Jordan bein the Greatest..
but the Best Player IV ever watched?? LeBron.. and it aint even close..
Jordan gets all the credit like he didnt have the greatest Coach and sidekick.. and the second 3peat wasnt even fair how loaded the bulls were..
the shit LeBron did to Detroit his first stint wit Cleveland was the greatest shit iv ever witnessed.. then the nigga gets to Miami and even now he's fuckin toying with everybody..
doubt he'd ever mean more to basketball than Jordan..
but he's better..
Too light in the ass on the hardware side, and too many blemishes on his resume to give you that one G. Mike got too much pedigree. I've seen Lebron fold too many times, hell, he folded in game 4 of the finals last year. Mike don't fold.
And lets not even start on what happens if you put a halfway good rim protector in front of lebron. Everybody blames that finals loss on draymond green's temper. But Andrew Bogut's knee is really what doomed the warriors. Lebron was gettin clamped that whole series up until then. Why? Because he has 2 moves, back up to half court call a screen, and drive to the basket, or back up to half court, call a screen and shoot a 3. There's no midrange jumper to speak of. He's a streaky shooter, so if you disrupt those finishing lanes, and his jumper is not goin off that night, you have a chance to render him really inefficient.
As I said before, it looks really close on the surface, but the separation is in the details.
u wont get an argument from me there..
but the hing about LeBron is he does so..
u know what.. this aint the thread for this..
im sayin Jordan's the greatest..
but u niggas do overrate him..
he's not a god..
he's human..
