He’s still a top 75 player at the end of the day with a run.

He's a secondary playmaker at best. Being able to constantly make plays for other should be his next leap. That's why I was bummed Batum made a lifstyle decision to go back to LA.
With that said, I kinda like Fultz on a minimum and have Lowry off the bench (or they can switch starter roles).

Magic in 91, was second in MVP voting, the Lakers won 60 games that year, and had 3 all stars.
Clyde in 92 was an all timer. He’s a top 50 guy.
93 suns were about as deep of a basketball team as you can get. Charles Barkley has been considered a top 15 player up until like 2020
. That Suns team was deeper than the bulls Karl Malone is a scumbag, but an MVP & all time great. John Stockton is also now underrated. And he’s an all time great pg too.
Gary Payton is up there man.
This is just off the top of my head. You’re the one “discrediting” now.

Sir MJ shot more FTs on average, played more minutes on average, played in the crackhead 80s era where defense was optional and teams sent 4 to the glass.
Saying that to say, these things even out

Also just crazy that Bron has played with 6 other top 75 players in his career. MJ only has the 1.

Magic historically is better than anyone

Now FTs don’t matter?
A 32% 3pt and 84% Ft shooter vs 34% 3pt and 73%…
Free throws “aren’t important”…. But they somehow contribute to all players point totals in which Bron is the all time leader

But that is exactly why this comparison is asinine. The game became global, commoditized thanks to college/AAU/NBA, sports medicine became better, etc. The competition is better now. It’s not a knock against MJ. It just is what it is.
Exactly. Larry was known for his touch. You’re saying folks wouldn’t be gassing him today as a better KD?This is why it's pointless to compare across generations. Players like Bird and MJ wouldn't be shooting less than two 3PT attempts per game if they played today
The MJ vs Lebron debate is so pointless. I think the sunscreen on blacks is probably better since we don’t have any statistics lol.

Stockton is highly overrated. Elite scammer man.
Suns team was deep but they played no defense. We can watch that film agaisnt the bulls.
Magic was SICK.
Im not discrediting any top 75 guys but in the perimeter there was little to no competition for MJ. Not his fault

Bron played in an era where STEVE NASH was a two time MVP

How can someone be named one of the 75 greatest players to ever live off of one run?
Doesn't work like that, him turning the Lakers down doesn't make him a plumber
I just said he doesn't belong with KD, Wardell and Joker. Who have had sustained greatness.

Well this just isn’t true. And I wish yall would do more research.
Shai averaged 31ppg, and shot 2.5 threes a game:

Not slandering Magic. 2nd best PG ever. Man was playing with the bug though. He cooked that young warriors team. Pip had him in jail and that bulls team was wayyyyy too athletic. Every missed rebound that series was a track meet with pip and Jordan getting dunks.

Magic was not OLD when he faced MJ. He was 31 years old.
Folks just be saying anything
Jordan and Magic only have a 4 year age gap. Same age gap Bron and Steph

Steve Nash is good as Stockton. Led a team to a 40 game improvement from the prior season. It’s not rocket scienceBron played in an era where STEVE NASH was a two time MVP

There’s nothing that puts Steve over Magic.
Magic top 5.
Steve ain’t even top 10.

I love Shai, but SGA is not individually dominating the league on MJ type of levels. That’s Jokic and Luka and Giannis right now

MJ was dominating after downing a 6 pack and doing a couple of lines. Maybe wrapped his knees up in some scotch tape here and there.
Lebron has all the modern day medicine in the world, forcefully teamed up with other HOF'ers and still isnt better.
Lets cut this out. There is only one GOAT.
