    All you bronsexuals are the exact same, you all spout the exact SAME ESPN tropes they want you to believe like the good little bots yall are! GS was a supreme team. Put them in the 90's and could they bang with ANY of the top 10 teams? Every team with a dominate big would murder them inside. Today's Era is soft a baby crap. And your bf lebron refuses to play defense. Lmao. Watch ANY game and his ONLY attempt is a chase down block 1 or 2 times a game lmao. But you try to act smart, but again you proved you watched 0 basketball. But you probably religiously follow Flop everywhere he goes. What exactly has Bron done since 2016? Oh a fake bubble ship... impressive. The so called "goat" either couldn't make the playoffs, or got stomped there. True "goats" don't shit the bed when it matters.

    Btw replace MJ with lebron and the Bulls would NEVER sniff a championship.

    One thing that I would like to mention is that the difference between the best and the worst on the field has gotten much smaller in almost all sports. It is much harder for one player to dominate a game then it used to be.

    Rope a Dope was planned ahead. The ring ropes were looser than normal to make it more effective.

    Just because no one has said it: Serena Williams is the greatest female tennis player ever.

    "Ali had not 'planned' his famed 'Rope-a-Dope' tactic any more than Dundee would have ever approved of it if he had. Dundee, on the night (or morning) of the fight in Zaire, was screaming himself silly in almost begging Ali to 'get off the ropes!..."

    I suppose anyone can have their own definition of what a "true center" is, but how in the world is Jokic a "true center" when he averages 250 3-point attempts per season? Larry Bird only went over 200 3-point attempts in a season twice. Jokic is the epitome of the "modern center". The reason he is so good is because he plays perfectly within "the rules they've created." IMO the last most prominent "true center" you could actually build around was Dwight Howard.

    That’s some true statements yet he could play in any era. Many of the fives today could not.

    Jordan was is the GOAT and Ali is the GOAT of all sports so I disagree that you always think it’s your generation. Watch the documentary currently playing on Netflix about Jordan and see why he’s the best.

    The greatest NBA player of all time is Scottie Pippen. Undefeated in the finals.

    Maybe he will hit 800 hrs, get 300 wins, and steal 100 bases.

    Jordan isn’t back in the day. The problem arises when people think every sport has the goat currently playing. If you didn’t witness it, you’re opinion isn’t valid. I didn’t see anyone pre mid 70’s so I don’t have a valid option on whether Joe Lois was better than Ali. I’m not a Jordan fan but there was never a doubt in my mind who tge best player in tge nba was in his prime. Barry Bonds may have been on juice bit in 50 years, I’ve never seen anything like it. I can’t stand Bonds but I know what I saw. I never saw the guys of the records he broke and they weren’t juiced.

    Probably not, just because he started his MLB career relatively late. I don't really count his first few years because he barely played. But if you look at his career and compare him to his predecessors on a "per-year" basis, I think he will hold up as one of the greatest hitters ever and an excellent pitcher.

    As far as overall value to a team, he's really one of a kind.

    Hopefully dude stays healthy.
