OMG dude, are you his mom or his brother? Holy Crap

Dude, I am not the one who is biased here.

Don’t know what to tell you.

really seems like the true nuthuggers lack some serious self awareness.

Read your post above and tell me you aren't biased.

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.

You have to be a kid. It's not the whistle. It's the rules

 

[trojanfan12]

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).

Now that Luka is a Laker, Lebron isn't even the biggest complainer on his own team.

Additionally, at least some of his complaining is done re: calls against teammates.

 

[UK Cowboy]

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.

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.

Nothing soft? Want me to post a video compilation of his 100 greatest flops? It's pretty damned easy, there are thousands to chose from. He isn't a tank. He's soft as microwaved baby shit

 

[dtgold88]

I've read a bunch of his posts....no, he's not. Only ones biased in this thread about MJ/Lebron are MJ nuthuggers ironically who think Lebron can do nothing worthy of any credit.

sound like anyone you know?

Did he ever quit the sport in the middle of his career? Retire when things were about to get hard because he lost his top teammate and coach?

About to get hard? He won 6 straight in years he played. Without chasing superstars. He can try and latch on to Luka for a couple of years now to give himself one last shot and keep his scrub son from lifetime G Leaguer

You should probably do that in private.

Yes, about to get hard. Won those 6 rings with that Pippen fellow (never even won a playoff series without him) and also that coach. They were both not coming back. Didn't need to chase superstars as the GM he hated found 1 for him. The GM who could run (well, Kraus so better just walk) circles around MJ as a GM.

Lebron didn't just win a playoff series but made the Finals with Ilguaskas as his #2.

FYI, I don't like Lebron. Too much of a narcissist and drama queen for me. Just not irrational and emotional about MJ and Lebron.

I addressed the flops in my post.

You equate that to being soft. I don’t.

Every great player flops. All of them. Flopping is a necessity to gain a favorable whistle for your team.

LeBron is just really bad at it so his look pretty ridiculous.

But that does not make him soft. He is just a bad actor.

Soft players don’t attack the rim and seek out contact like LeBron does. It is incredibly short sighted to call him soft.

or maybe irrational with an agenda?

Every great player doesn't flail his 260 pound body like a French Poodle being struck by an 18 wheeler and have the replay show a whiff. Embarrassing

How many championships did Pippen ever win without him?

 

[dtgold88]

0.....MJ without Pippen?

Pippen also won 55 and made EC semis without MJ. Furthest MJ ever went without Pippen and most wins in a season?

I get irrational people get spooked by direct questions but don't be afraid......see if you can answer. Use a lifeline if need be.

And then crash his body into 7 footers while trying to get to the rim on the very next possession.

Sometimes leading with that elbow and going right through contact like a running back.

Real soft.
