That makes you question how good MJ was at helping his teams win, or whether he was just a GOAT stat-accumulator that lucked into the right environment.

Pau was better hoops player than Kobe. A skilled interior big. Only better player in the same mold recently was Duncan.

.

How about bc he carried scrubs to high seeds?

Candybar completely destroyed 3ball in the last 36 hours, guy had no answers despite a backlog of 20 years of copy pastes. Wow.

8 years in I have yet to see the Jordan crowd put up any good arguments.

We won't see anything from them for another 8 years.

There were no arguments for LeBron 8 years ago.

Btw, is there a history of schizophrenia in your family? You should probably get that checked out. This is how people with schizophrenia think - making tenuous connections between completely unrelated things and then developing this strong conviction that these connections must be why other people are doing what they are doing. Just because you're rooting for a team based on insane reasons, it doesn't mean random people on the internet that you're arguing against are rooting for the other team based on equally insane reasons.

Do you have an actual explanation for this line of thinking that doesn't involve a severe mental illness?

3ball, you do understand how you're seen by people here right? Like, you understand that I'm not engaging you because I think you have some valid points that need to be countered, do you?

Of course, I'm engaging you - I'm saying I'm not doing it because there's some kind of actual conversation or debate to be had here, but because I find your particular brand of insanity fascinating.

And you do? I’m pretty sure fidstar is a huge Jordan guy and you criticized him randomly.

You’re one of the weirdest posters not only in 2+2 history but probably internet history. You go from site to site, just talking about MJ 99.9% of the time. You copy and paste and despite this, most sites and people aren’t on your side. You’re overly verbose and your points are ridiculous, you criticize his teammates despite being arguably the most dominant dynasty of our time.

3ball furious at his copy-pasted cherry-picked arguments thoroughly being exposed and demolished.

Candybar and anatta won the thread.

I'm cheering for Giannis - if he learns to WIN (organic), then he's superior to guys that just learned to team-hop like Lebron or KD

“Young Middleton” is over 3 years older than Giannis, lol. He’s about to turn 30 years old.

I mean this is hilarious. I think Giannis is great, but he’s not “learning how to win”. If Kyrie Irving and Harden don’t get injured he loses last round. He’s the same player. Lol sort by rings dummies.

3ball, if the Bucks win the championship, is PJ Tucker's championship ring an organic one or a team-hopping one?

Also 3ball, you do understand that absolutely no one is buying into any of your nonsense right? Is this drug-induced or natural?

You are arguing with a dude that has made over 1000 anti-LeBron threads on another forum.

It's just natural insanity.

That must have been traumatizing. It's sad but I think all this has to be some kind of a coping mechanism?

Sure - what I was getting at is that a lot of mentally ill people self-medicate with recreational drugs. Also the other way is true as well - substance abuse often precedes the onset of serious mental illnesses. Obviously we both agree that 3ball's behavior is extremely abnormal and but I'm morbidly curious about what's behind this abnormal behavior.

Partially.

Jordan is a God to some people, it's part of their raison d'etre. So imagine going to Saudi Arabia and telling fanatics that Mohammad in the sky doesn't exist.

They will argue with you until death does them part.

Btw, think about whoever did that and how sick they must be - probably a Lebron stalker or something.

Was your account hacked for months? You use the same term previously:

Fascinating stuff here…looks like a total mental break then full blown denial mode?
