After what Magic said about not wanting to join other superstars to win we should all pay major respect to Giannis he's definitely an anomaly in today's NBA.

[@mobetta2092]

Definitely respect to Giannis whose Bucks team is similar to the 2004 Pistons, which was a team of vets who were talented but still traded from different teams that came together as underdogs and won a championship…except Giannis is a superstar and of course their defense isn’t what that Piston team’s was.

[@kevincoates5066]

@@mobetta2092 more so the spurs when David Robinson retired

[@mobetta2092]

@@kevincoates5066 that’s definitely more accurate because he’s essentially the Duncan of the Bucks surrounded by Middleton/Ginobli and Holiday/Parker and a reputable cast of role guys. Edit: the reason I mentioned the 2004 Pistons is because every key player except for Giannis was traded by another team at one point.

The Michael Jordan stories never get old. When you hear guys like magic speak on him, it really shows just how competitive he was. I don't believe they'll ever be another player that gets spoken about like this ever again other than kobe who got everything practically from Jordan as he's said himself.

[@Davivd2]

Anyone of you guys out there under the age of 40 let me put this into perspective. David Robinson (before he hurt his back) was an unstoppable freak at the center position. His body was chiseled like a body builder. He may be the greatest athlete other than Wilt to ever play the position and was always a top defensive center in the league. So when Jordan hangs in the air longer than Robinson, and spins into a 360 dunk, this is probably the most inhuman thing that a basketball player has ever done and sadly only the guys in the gym that day got to see it happen.

[@sonnyallagonez5776]

Straight Facts!

[@noneyabeeysnass8283]

💯!! These young kids today don’t understand how much of a beast The Admiral was. Matter of fact, there’s some highlights of him against the Bulls where he was just unstoppable. One highlight he steals the ball and goes coast to coast, he crosses Jordan while reaching in the open court and two hand dunks it. Dude was unstoppable. It just goes to show how great MJ truly was

Fans who don't know anything talk about Jordan's era being weak and they act like he didn't have much to deal with in comparison to this era. Yet almost every name Magic named were guys Jordan and the Bulls had to play in the playoffs. The first round losses were to the Bucks and Bird and the Celtics in the 80s. Then there was Magic, Drexler, Barkley, Malone/Stockton and Ewing in the 90s. All easy first ballot Hall of Famers. Add the Pistons in the 80s. Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp in the 90s. Tough competition.

[@b9479]

The 90s was way weaker than the 80s, you had one superstar per team but the 80s had superteams

[@mobetta2092]

In real time the era wasn’t weak but in hindsight in comparison to eras after it, it was. Jordan’s era, which is the 90s was best known for it’s dominant bigs like Olajuwon, Shaq, Ewing, Mourning, Robinson, Dikembe, Webber, Barkley, and Malone. Jordan, Pippen, Reggie, and Drexler headlined the wing play and Stockton who was an assist man is recognized as the 90s best small along with the defensive Payton while others like Mullins and Tim Hardaway were in the mix also (Iverson, KG, Kobe, and company were still pups). In this era there are comparable great bigs who are more versatile with ball handling, shooting, and passing and the wing positions and guards are more competitive and if you’re 6’ in this era you’d better have a shooting range of you want to make noise. I’m nearly 50yrs old btw.

[@van2.060]

@@mobetta2092 skill vs talent…you’re over exaggerating the “compared to eras after it’s weak” comment…Guards now are more talented but skills and IQ no they are not…bigs now yes they are dribbling and passing but most bigs can’t post or have any footwork. And big dribbling and passing is not a norm you have a handful that do it regularly if that…again some of this is over exaggerating

@@van2.060 alot of his statement is overblown lol..like Isiah Thomaswas dropping 29 a game against this era and he is 5’8 lol…big men today can dribble but hakeem had footwork and would murder everyone in this era at the center position…and that’s not even bringing in shaq lol
