Wait? Jordan didnt have rivals? Fam the whole league was shootin for that number 1 spot. Jordan is the reason why a lot of the greatest players in history retired with no ring. You can really sit there and say the Heat/Knicks/Sonics/Jazz were not rivals for Jordan? Hell even throw in the Pacers with Reggie.

Jordan didn't have a true rival... the BULLS did... no one player/person actually rivaled Jordan... not even close. The closest he came to a rival was WAY past his prime when them 1996 draftees started to develop. That's just being real. Jordan was in a class all his own for damn near his whole career. Rivals? Let's talk T-mac vs. Kobe early 2000s era.. you know..when there was actually an argument about who you'd take in a one on one. Duncan and KG back then were rivals. That's what a rival is in MY eyes. NOBODY was seeing Mike back then but the fans, cams, and commentators...

But we all know Jordan is leaps and bounds over Starks...well... Starks leaped and bounded over Jordan and everybody else that one time, but we all know who the champ and who the contender is if it ever comes to a one on one comparison. Like I said, nobody was seeing Mike..
When Mike hooped the game wasn't frail. These days, it is, with that being said Jordan is raising RAISED the bar for the new guys.
Lebron is doing the raising at this point. LBJ is probably doing what's never been seen as we speak. 50 10 and 10* in the Garden..

OH... I get it now! Why didn't you just say that in the first place? Your thing is taking what I say in plain english, making it mean something else, and then arguing with yourself. Carry on then. I won't stop you any longer. Bcause clearly the word STILL and the word BETTER are synonymous and imply improvement through aging and physical deterioration.






Then what the hell were you talking about when you said that a 39 year-old MJ who was away from basketball 3 years in 2001-02 MJ was "still MJ"? Were you talking about the name that is on his birth certificate? Because he's STILL Michael Jordan here in 2010 as well. Maybe he should suit up and drop 50 at the age of 50 then.
So...... you skipped over everything I said about being in NBA shape too? Or you just reworded it in your mind so as to understate it's significance?

Oh, so please explain to me the bottom line.. You said that you didn't mean to say that a 39 year-old MJ who was "in NBA shape" was better than a 90-91 MJ, yet you said that a 39 year-old MJ who was "in NBA shape" was still MJ. How much non-better yet still the same MJ was he in 2001-02 compared to 1990-91?



94-95 MJ who was away from basketball for less than two seasons is constantly getting a free pass for losing against the Magic because he was away from basketball, not in shape, etc. Even though he was still athletically active throughout that time. And he was only 31 at that point. Yet in your head a 39 year-old 01-02 MJ who was away from basketball for three full seasons was in shape?
I stopped trying to explain **%* to your know it all self a minute ago bruh.. it is what it is... I can only lead you TO the water.
How much non-better yet still the same MJ was he in 2001-02 compared to
1990-91?

Yeah, the dinosaur pic actually sums up your explanation of saying how a 39 year-old is "still" something he was 10 years earlier.

Nobody is seeing Jordan, he was that great......BUT why people in here acting like there weren't any terrible teams when MJ was playing in which he could have scored a 100 on??....Teams like the warriors and nets these days aren't the first teams to suck.....

because people like to make everything in the past seem way better.  this has nothing to do with mike scoring 100 at all but from 88-89  to 92-93 mike and any other superstar level player benifited from 4 new expansion teams comming into the league and the talent level somewhat watering down. also in the early 90's while the bulls were reaching their prime age starting hitting the dominant teams of the 80's and there was alot of crappy teams in the early 90's and during the mid 90's as well because expansion hit again in 95-96.  i would say the nba was better back in the 80's and early 90's but saying the competition was head and shoulders better back then is reaching. the nba has always been what it's been,  a league where 5-6 teams have a legit shot at winning the title, 10 teams have a shot at making at 2nd round at best, and the rest are hopeless lottery teams,  it was like that then and it's still like that now.
