Greatest basketball team ever assembled….

[Jordan23]

Watching the Netflix documentary right now.

Just heard a crazy stat.

2024 Canada had more NBA players on its roster than the Dream Team faced during its entire Olympic run combined.

As great as the Dream Team was, the talent gap between US and the rest of the world was simply not comparable to what modern national teams face.

Any USA basketball roster from the last 30 years would have won gold in ‘92.

And the 92 dream team never would have got a bronze like Bron and the USA team did. 92 would have been taking golds.

 

[Jordan23]

And what MJ did was actually pretty dishonest and self serving in a manipulative kind of way.

He called Bill Russell the GOAT because of ring count.

And IMO he did that because he knows that Russell isn’t really in that conversation and I think it was his own way of ranking himself ahead of LeBron without actually naming himself.

Holy fuck can you reach any more?

And the 92 dream team never would have got a bronze like Bron and the USA team did. 92 would have been taking golds.

Of course ‘92 team wins against ‘04 competition. But they don’t win every game by 40.

That happened once.

And by the way, it is insane that you haters try to pin that loss on LeBron.

He was 19. Playing in his first Olympics. He played 11.5 minutes a game.

There were a lot of reasons that team didn’t do well.

Pinning it on 19 year old LeBron is incredibly ignorant.

Holy fuck can you reach any more?

It isn’t a logical opinion.

And Jordan is the king of petty so it makes a lot of sense. He is too smart to actually believe Bill Russell is the GOAT. MJ believes MJ is the GOAT.

He is just smart enough not to say it because he is great at managing public opinion.

You reach so bad. Jordan is 20 times more humble than Me Me me me, LeBron James.

Laughable that anyone would compare the players of today vs the MJ era

They may have not been as gifted back then, but they played to win, were coachable, and we’re much more enjoyable to watch.

5 Leflops couldn’t beat that team

*slurp

LOL.

No, he really isn’t

Neither have much humility at all. And to be honest, if they did they probably wouldn’t have accomplished all that they did.

*noise made from nuthuggin tlance

Again, not even close to true.

Only 1 person doing that. Anyone who fails to admit that it is close between the 2 is nuthuggin.

That isn’t me.

 

[Pastafazul]

Factually correct, don’t make bullshit up, clown.

Makin up and reachin what they do best…

Still shakin my head at tlances

33% of 3’s = 50% of 2’s

 

[Jordan23]

U need to find a subject you actually have a clue on.

 

[Jordan23]

Imagine if LeBron ever said this even once or hinted at it lol. Never happen

LOL.

Can you do math?

If I shoot 30 3s and make 33%

10/30

I would get 30 points

If you shoot 30 2s and make 50%

15/30

You would get 30 points

So yes. What I said is factually true. No wonder you can’t figure out why teams are shooting so many 3s.

I grew up watching Jordan. He was the reason I started watching basketball. There wasn’t a bigger Jordan fan than me.

He is not humble.

Just because he doesn’t say it out loud doesn’t mean he doesn’t believe it.

There is no way he actually believes Bill Russell is the GOAT.

He just grew up in an era where he was taught to respect his elders. And that is what he is doing.

Dude do you have a fucking clue? So now we judge on assumptions of what a person is fucking thinking inside? Holy fuck you are dumb.

My opinion. I have watched him all my life.

You are the one dumb enough to like Pasta’s quote doubting that 33% of 3s is equal to 50% of 2s.

That is like 3rd grade math

The biggest difference between MJ and LeBron is that MJ is great at public relations. LeBron is not.

I liked after I read his first line, lol. I watched MJ too as he was only reason I turned the damn TV on. Basketball was my sport and all I wanted to do. Lebron is the furthest thing from humble or Jordan. Give it up before you dig your hole deeper.

I'm sure we're going to get unbiased discourse from someone named Jordan23 lol.
