dont care Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 So a tournament for 500k? Don’t most of the players make that in like 2 games. Why would any of them care about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCall Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 7 minutes ago, dont care said: He also doesn’t and probably never will have his number retired league wide I could definitely see 23 being retired after he passes, if not before. I mean, the NHL has already retired 99 for Gretzky and the NBA has set a precedent by retiring 6 for Russell after he died. And Jordan's arguably the greatest professional athlete of all-time, so I'd say it's more a matter of when than if.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 James' 23 was clearly an homage to Jordan, both when we was in high school and when he joined the league the season after MJ retired. I don't see the controversy here? 1 Quote 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 And my dumb ass gave away the free tickets I had to the final round today Stephen Curry eagles 18th hole to win American Century Golf Championship I know it’s only a celebrity golf tournament, but Steph is only the third active athlete to win this tournament. That’s crazy. Is there anything this guy can’t do? Lebron is definitely this generation’s goat, but there really isn’t a player that’s more fun than Steph. It’s taken decades of brand building and a ton of effort to make Lebron seem cool, and half of the time he still doesn’t. Steph, otoh, just seems to fall backwards into it effortlessly. I can’t even imagine being that kind of person. It must rock. 1 Quote On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

BBTV Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Jordan paid $275M for his majority stake in the Hornets, of which he's sold some (while still remaining the majority shareholder) and probably already recouped his initial investment. The sale was for $3B. IDK how much of a stake he's keeping in the franchise, but given that he's essentially playing with house money, he's getting (if the 80% number is true) $2.4B minus however many shares he's keeping. He likely just put more than a billion dollars in his pocket. More than a billion.

I don't care if they do or don't, but IMO they shouldn't. What about Kareem's 33? Bird's 33? Magic's 32? Chamberlain's 13? West's 44? (Well, West already has the Logo, so there's that.) Shaq's or Hakeem's 34? It'll never end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tBBP Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Speaking of thus, I see a lot of people put out a lot of lists...but the one thing I never hear anyone specify is their metrics...what is their criteria for ranking so-and-so above whoever else? All of which is to say: what's the litmus test here? (I don't think there are any wrong criteria; i just wanna hear more people substantiate their subjection with something solid is all.)

There doesn't need to be a metric. It can just be your eyes and guts. In general, there's three ways I've seen people make their lists: 1) sheer dominance regardless of anything else (probably puts Wilt at or near the tippy top) 2) most natural talent and overall best "overall basketball player" of a generation (Lebron unquestionably right now) 3) "winner". This is where it gets a little vague, but is where people can rank Jordan over Lebron if they want to, and where it's not absurd to rank Kobe above him. I watched Jordan's entire career, and would say that Lebron is the more talented player. He can do things effortlessly that even Jordan had to work hard for. I've never seen anything like watching Lebron live, effortlessly threading needles with passes and basically doing whatever he wants. But Jordan and Kobe both have a "killer" quality to them that's hard to quantify. I don't know that Lebron doesn't have it. Hell - he won a title single-handedly against the '27 Yankees. But if I needed to draft just one guy for just one game with my life on the line - I'd probably choose Kobe.
