[@dawidochynski8667]

what a lucky man you are! imagine me, starting watching NBA in 1988, in comunistic Poland, 11 yrs old boy, where there was only 1 hour repeat of single randomly choosen game from the previous week on Saturday at 1 pm at that time. But still for us living behind the red curtain it meant everything to be able to watch any, even the shortest snapshot from the NBA. I wonder sometimes how I was able to fall in love with NBA in such circumstances, having so restricted access to the western world culture?

Not that early, that's just not possible. No one can possibly predict the future. You definitely weren't around in the 80's, and if you were you're lying.

[@seamusb1047]

Jordan's not one of my favourite players, but this video shows exactly why he would become the GOAT. Not because of his physical gifts, which, while extraordinary, don't by themselves separate MJ from a Lebron or a Kobe, but because of his will power to employ those gifts when it counted most - ie 22 points in the 4th quarter. Lebron and Kobe do this often, but Jordan did it all the time, always coming through in the last 7-8 minutes, always in the biggest games.
