Gsw with an injured bogut, hobbled Iggy and steph, draymond missing a game, and Joanne missing wide open looks is better than anything Jordan ever faced?

They are just pretty good. Show me footage of them being anywhere near as dominant as the name I mentioned. They're just pretty good until you can actually hang a franchise on them and actually show even a morsel of success. Until then, they're just pretty good.
The fact you mentioned Embiid before he's even laced up for a single NBA game shows where your logic is in this argument.
Embiid doesn't deserve to be mentioned at all. KAT just played more games in his rookie year than Embiid has ever. With his injury history he could still very well be Greg Oden.
saw this on inside hoops. Forums today. ... I would say stinking it up in 14-15 was exaggerated

Embiid has had A LOT of hype over the past two years that he hadn't played. He's gone out there in preseason and been even better than any of us probably thought he would be right away. I don't think he's just going to forget how to play basketball once a game is deemed regular season and not preseason against the exact same players.
You also just said that they need to be able to hang a franchise on them and even show a morsel of success and named KAT and Whiteside as your two examples......I love KAT and think he's going to be amazing but he's played one year in the league and his team was still one of the worst in the league even with a decently talented roster. And Whiteside? Are you really saying his name deserves to be mentioned over AD, Cousins and Embiid? That isn't even worth my time to argue.
Joel and Porzingis soon to follow
kinda funny how he went from top 5 list and had next, to kat replacing him as having next
Warriors would have pulled off the repeat at full strength even against a full strength Cavs team.
Seeing Curry in the preseason dancing around the perimeter getting to the rim with an elite first step should be confirmation he wasn't a 100 in the finals
there was literally zero talk of Steph not being 100% after his return until those miracle threes stopped falling in the thunder series.
He destroyed POR when he came back, 28/10/7 in G1 against OKC, 28 on 15 shots in G2.......
Then they drop the next 2 games and suddenly he's not 100% anymore he scores on every Thunder player in G7 and no injury talk. Throws up some bricks in the finals and he's "hurt" again it was absolutely ridiculous.
Like he's the only player in NBA history that's impervious to playoff defense.
He was fine. When your shot selection is as crazy as his, you're going to have some rough shooting nights in the playoffs. He was off a few times in the finals 2 years ago too.
yes. even in that okc series people were talking about him not have that first step and being able to break anyone off the dribble like , normal steph does.
^ Revisionist history.
People were talking about how amazing it was that he was knocking down those shots even though he was injured.
Maybe it disgusted you, or maybe you tuned them out, but to say "literally zero talk" is patently false.

Come on man. I don't think that is arguable anymoreClose to Jordan but better than Kobe?
Kinda funny AD went from a defensive anchor prospect with a budding offensive game to a big time scorer with okay defensive impact.

And OKC would have beat GSW if this and this and this.......Warriors would have pulled off the repeat at full strength even against a full strength Cavs team.

Seeing KD after the loss should be confirmation he wasn't 100% invested in winning the CHIP in OKC.
He gifted GSW a 2nd straight shot at a Chip, or else they'd have been fishing in May instead of Contending in June.
Can I do that?
