Lord God...Jordan would have been one of the best three point shooters in the game if he played in this era because he would have put in the time working on it. It's hard talking basketball with someone who thinks the game began in 2010

If you were here more often than just to dig at Lebron's failings, you would know that you're way off base with your age/decade reference. There aren't many kids here.

You do realize that I watched just about every game Jordan played after about 1988 right?

He would have been a solid 3 point shooter for sure. Probably even a good one. Crazy to predict he would have been one of the best. That wasn’t his game.

If Jordan focused on 3 pt shooting it would take away from the aspects of his game that made him the GOAT. Would anyone want to go back and watch him launch Curry bombs instead of attacking the rim? No thanks for me.

He would have gotten beat on a lot more back in the day, but who knows how much better that may have made him?

Hard to say.

How would he have responded to Bad Boy Piston type treatment?

We will never know.

I don’t think it would deter him in any way unless it impacted his health though.

It wasn't his game because thats not how the game was played. It's pretty hypocritical for you to assume that LeFlop would be able to lose his pink lace panties and play in an extremely physical era vs todays rules, but you pretend Jordan would not put in the time to be a great 3 point shooter. We just disagree

Decent recap of that abortion in Chicago last evening. BTW, I am sure most of you know regarding MJ's perceived lack of ambassadorship for the NBA game, that MJ owns a NASCAR Racing conglomeration (among other things) along with Driver Denny Hamlin and technical alliance with Joe Gibbs Racing. This includes 4 race teams fielding 4 cars.

Perhaps the dude just doesn't have a lot of time to be a real fulltime ambassador. Or maybe he is just a bit preoccupied. Just sayin'

The fuck is Memphis doing? Unless this dude committed a crime, just wait 2 months to fire him if you don't want him to coach anymore. They're 4th right now and the playoffs are like 3 weeks away

Because you clearly have a bias against LeBron.

The man is a tank. He is Jordan’s explosive athleticism, with Magic’s skill set in Karl Malone’s body.

If you don’t think that plays in the 90s I don’t know what to tell you.

There is nothing soft about LeBron or the way the plays.

People just like to make fun of him because he has poor flopping skills and he whines to the refs when he doesn’t get a call to go his way (like most other stars in the current era also do).

LeBron already has everything he needs to be the best player in the most physical era.

For Jordan, you are projecting that he would get something he never had.

and whining and complaining to refs was just prevelant in MJs era and, hell, in the more current era I'm pretty sure Duncan retired without ever thinking he committed a foul.

It is interesting.

I wouldn’t say Duncan was Jordan’s era. They overlapped 1 year I think? 3 if you count the Wizards years as the Jordan era (I don’t).

I actually do think the whining and complaining got a lot worse in the early 2000s than it was before.

Might be my perception.

But it definitely was a trend that started before LeBron.

I also would not say Duncan was MJ era.....why I said in the more current era. Meant between now/LJB and MJ. Could have worded that better.
