mullen,
I’m not sure why you’re trying to change the subject. Jordan saying he would struggle with social media does not mean he was saying he would struggle to play basketball in 2021. These are two entirely different claims. Are you confused?

TienWeen,
I said I agreed with your YouTube highlight hot takes, remember? Your side has convinced me with your superior arguments and there’s nothing else to be said. You and mullen have conclusively proven that, for example, Ben Simmons is a superior basketball player to Magic Johnson because of relentless exponential improvement to the sports, and that there is zero year to year variance in player quality. Why are you still so angry?

theory: jordan would be even better in the age of social media bc he wouldn't have to invent feuds in order to motivate himself

You know, that’s a really good point. Could you imagine if Jordan were in his prime and could go on Twitter at any time and read all these nephew hot takes? He would be perpetually pissed off lol.

Quote my posts where I said Ben Simmons was better than Magic.

Are you saying MJ didn’t have a lot on medias scrutiny on his ass ?
And Paparazzi did exist before social media came into existence too .
At least with social media you don’t have 10 camera stuck in your eyes .
Btw , you can just ignore social media , you don’t have to be logged on it everyday .

It ain’t so with paparazzi and media’s .

Quoted Jordan’s own words. Sorry they don’t fit your narrative.

How would you know ?
I never saw LeBron getting beat up game after game for years (MJ early career) .

Lot of big guys can’t handle physicality .
Maybe LeBron can or can’t , who knows .

Ill i know and saw is MJ was playing vs a lot of tough guys taller and bigger than him making contacts .
Didn’t see much of that for LeBron …..

From the article :
« MJ would be met by rabid crowds every step he took, often times left stuck in his hotel room to avoid the hysteria ».

But he couldn’t deal with words on Twitter ? ok….
It was about privacy life , nothing to do with his playing .


Btw …..
« MVP winners LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo each stepping away from their accounts during postseason runs to avoid the distraction and scrutiny it can often bring. »

Oops .
Since LeBron couldn’t either ….

mullen,
Multiple posters stated this. It was quoted recently so look a page or two back. If you didn’t agree with them then why are your nephew undies in a bunch?

Were you the one that said Brandon Ingram would utterly dominate in the 80’s and put up 45 ppg? I can probably look back if you don’t feel like answering.

There is no shame in answering truthfully, nor any need to attempt to divert and change the question. You don’t even need to lie and chop out all the context of my posts and claim I’m saying something else entirely. Remember, I’m on your side now as you have fully convinced me that sports relentlessly exponentially improves over as little as a couple decades. I am simply trying to join the club, and apply that logic equally to all players and eras.

Montreal,
Don’t let mullen distract you with his penchant for distracting and changing the subject with his nephew voodoo. Regardless of whether or not Jordan could handle social media (lol who the f cares), it doesn’t change the fact that has nothing to do with skill on a basketball court, and that Jordan has better peak stats and 6 titles in an equally competitive era.

guys, i think we've covered it

Agree .



**** , did I post so much ?
What a waste .
Im out of here , cheers .

Argh, I meant to say 80’s players couldn’t even dribble a basketball as proven by my extensive YouTube research, and players like Shaq who dominated 10 years later definitely didn’t overlap with Jordan who dominated the 80’s and 90’s.

Sorry, sometimes I still accidentally think logically. Is there a nephew initiation where I can be fully converted and leave rationality behind as a relic of the 80’s? Brandon Ingram GOAT

LaMelo Ball is the one true GOAT.

Somebody said a while back in this thread we better keep an eye on LeBron for becoming a Super Drama King as his rule moves toward its inevitable end. From the looks of things lately, I second that.

He's always been a drama king

Basketball is so ez for LeBron that he has to create drama to keep himself entertained. Since he always makes the perfect basketball play every single time, and he’s the peak of the exponential growth curve, it’s become boring to him. He needs the drama and uncertainty of superteam hopping. What fun is there in actually using his Superman skills to win more than 4 rings? Jordan was just a try hard poopy head.

Yeah it's getting more serious with LeBron. He's bidding to go Full Supernova Drama King ... something like a Madonna or Lady Gaga of the hardcourt, you know. The dude could end up like ... I'm trying to think of somebody. A-Rod of course, I have compared him to him ... you know the guy that faints in the delivery room and takes medical attention from his lady, like super needy like that. But I gotta come up with somebody else as this develops. How about Freddy Mercury? Liberace? A cross between Dennis Rodman and Kim Kardashian? Angelina and Kanye? "As The World Turns" on the basketball court ... a soapy, sappy drama of monumental self-importance.

Yeah that’s how you get the nephews like TienTien hooked. Small bit size YouTube highlights that are easily mentally digested, and a heaping dose of soap opera drama. Days Of Our Stans.

The gift that keeps on giving.



Awww what happened to the mom basement jokes? I missed those. Now we are moving on to soap opera watching. I wonder Matt R can come up with next. Stay tuned.

I never said Magic Johnson is superior to Ben Simmons. You have resorted to lying and making things up after getting humiliated by me.

Couldn't help spiking the football once again.
