Lebron fans are mostly casual.

[@allanhouston6759]

@Lisa Rose Yes, 22-years have passed since JORDAN won his 6th Title. Basketball was not in its infancy in the JORDAN era. Basketball for over a hundred years. There is also such a think as degradation. New, modern is not necessarily better.- Bernard Hopkins at the age of 50 he became world champion and defeated young boxers. Players from the 90s, even after they got older, still played at a star level in the era of Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, T-MAC, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Dirk Nowitzki and Vince Carter. For example: *Karl Malone ( age 39 ) in the 2002/03 season: 20- 8- 4, FG-46%.* *John Stockton ( age 39 ) in the 2001/02 season:15- 4- 8, FG-51%.* *Gary Payton ( age 30-34 )- 4x All-star ( 2000-2003 ).* *3x All-Defensive First Team ( 2000-2002 ).* *Dikembe Mutombo ( age 35 )- Defensive Player of the Year ( 2001 ).* *3x All-star ( 2000-2002 ), 2x Rebounding Leader ( 2000, 2001 ).* 2001 ECFR: *6"7 Reggie Miller ( age 35 )= 31-ppg. FG-45%. 3P-43%. FT-91%.* 35-years-old Reggie Miller ( SG ) outplayed Prime Allen Iverson ( SG ). 2000 Playoffs: Reggie Miller ( age 34 ) outplayed players like Ray Allen ( SG ), Allen Iverson ( SG ) and Kobe Bryant ( SG ). *7"1 Shaquille O"Neal ( Player from the 90s ) dominated the 2000s.* *Kevin Garnett ( 1995-1999 ), Rasheed Wallace ( 1995-1999 ), Michael Finley ( 1995-1999 ).* *Allen Iverson ( 1996-1999 ), Kobe Bryant ( 1996-1999 ), Ray Allen ( 1996-1999 ).* *Jason Kidd ( 1994-1999 ), Glenn Robinson ( 1994-1999 ), Jerry Stackhouse ( 1995-1999 ).* All of these players played in the 90s. And none of them dominated the weak 90s.

[@sbeallvln]

Great game! I’d have to say: even MJ’s greatness was somewhat outclassed by Iverson in this one. He’s such a jitterbug, an amazing ballhandler, amazing finisher, tough, with a good jumpshot to boot!

Did you not see that catch and shoot by Mike at the end of the 3rd quarter 🤔

[@forw4rdp422]

Lol you can see the unrest and malaise in the crowd that the kid is good. No one is denying MJ’s dominance and alpha presence on the court throughout the course of his career. The greatest. This was one of the first occurrences of someone with enough weight of their own to steal some of the limelight. At the time, 7’0 Olajuwon was on the decline, and Shaq was the obvious incumbent. Here we are seeing someone with the competitive flame to be a challenger to his airness .

[@senadnicevic3441]

6:02-6:05 love how MJ is controlling the ball bouncing it. I remember he's done sth like that even in much more difficult situation in the Finals against Sonics, diving for the ball against few opponents, completely off balance but still trying to bounce the ball and control it, so fundamental even in the most difficult situations on the court - simply unbelievable; 1 of many moments when you recognize the real GOAT of basketball.

Cos he’s a pg and a pass first player and why don’t u mention clay he dropped 60 in 29 minutes with 11 dribbles

[@blackpeoplespeaks]

@@slashbxe2832 bc MJ is the example Klay learned that strategy from. Jordan 40pts was better than Klays if we're putting the stat into context. Difference of quality is Jordan was the focus of the defense as 1st option in the game plan, Klay on the other hand was not the focus of the other teams defense, but Kevin Durant & Stephenson Curry was the game plan giving Klay wide open shots all night which he didn't need to dribble, would have been a fool to if he did put the ball on the floor. Michael Jordan didn't have that luxury! But no worries, you won't ever see that again from Klay bc now he's gon to have to put the ball on the floor!

Micheal Jordan had the biggest impact when he came in NBA for he was only player in history that every cable carrier in nation had to have Chicago s WGN tv network to see the Bulls play. THAT S HOW MUCH IMPACT MJ had and since he retired WGN faded away from everyone s cable package. Micheal Jordan was that big in those times and no other player to this date has that much attraction where a city s TV Channel was in 99 percent in everyone s home to watch that player on a daily basis.
