What?

Nobody ‘died’ playing against Kermit. Crushed face on a cheap shot? Absolutely.

This kind of stuff is just silly. You say you're unbiased but you're clearly a tortured soul.

The guys now are developing a 3 point shot from an early age, even big, retarded Centers. It helps them get a job.

The 90s was about the jump shot, MJ had every one on one move available. If you picked him up as a 25 year old and moved him to 2015 I'm sure over a summer or 2 he'd be working on the 3 point shot. Was it needed from him in the 90s? No.

Was it needed by Hakeem and D. Rob in the 90s? No.

Does any big have the quality post/one on one moves of the 3 All time greats I just mentioned currently? Hell no.

But hey, we can shoot 1/7 from 3 one game and then 4/6 next game. So we're valuable guys that can stretch the floor.

It's good basketball too, especially in the playoffs like when Houston and Boston miss about 150 in a row and keep shooting on the theory that they are the most "EFFICIENT" shot, lol.

Oh I’m sorry I completely missed the fact that your take was meant as exaggeration. No sh*t it was exaggeration.

The latest advert and twitter response seems to have awoken the MJ fanboy brigade, as well as the sponsored Skip Bayless / Stephen A Smith types with their "MJ was the greatest" rhetoric on NBA TV.

Just enjoy watching Lebron while he's playing, because fan or not, you'll miss it when it's gone. These arguements are pointless, it's like convincing an NRA member that guns are bad, you may have the best and most logical case in the world, but it won't mean a lot to them.
