Chalmers hit one of the GOAT shots in NCAA history and hit many big shots in the NBA. If he was open I have no doubt MJ would pass him the ball too.
yeah, but MJ also did the iso hero ball to win titles too. he was a threat for anything, which is why he was unstoppable.
lebron hasn't, because he can't. lebron plays within the flow of the game.
he is very stoppable, and you know you can make him pass the ball out because he isn't offensively skilled enough to will points when team needs. he plays within flow of game. that's fine. but he's not on MJ's level.
in 2016, it was kyrie who took Curry 1on1 and drained the 3.
i mean, even JIMMY outplayed lebron in 2020 finals for goodness sake. Jimmy was the more clutch player. I still feel the Heat could have won the 2020 Finals if Goran and Bam didn't have crap luck. Imagine Lebron's legacy with that 2020 Finals loss to Jimmy. That is what almost happened if not for injuries.
this is all so obvious You would NEVER hear that of MJ. Never. Even when he lost, he was still the best player on the floor
MJ is the GOAT. He was the greatest in the greatest era of basketball. I was just thinking a few days ago: if these guys today who aren't as skilled as the guys in MJ's prime are getting paid 50-60 mil per year, HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK MJ, Barkley, Malone, Reggie, Isiah, the Admiral, Aguire, Ewing, etc would make if they played in this era??? Those guys were way more skilled than today's players. They were fundamentally sound in multiple facets of the game and knew how to play. Today's guys might be able to shoot, but can't dribble. Might be able to dribble, but can't defend or facilitate. Might be able to defend but can't rebound.
MJ WAS DOMINANT IN A DOMINANT ERA OF BASKETBALL...
His last two years on the Bulls Jordan made more than the rest of the team combined. His salary was more than the salary cap by himself
Only recently did the top players catch up him as far as annual salary. I don’t know how it was even legal back then. Salary cap is $136M this season. His equivalent salary could be around $155M.
