I will be watching the first preseason game like it's a game 7! Beer will be had!

 

[Doc Holliday]

I moved to NYC, so I bought League Pass Broadband. Anyone know if it comes with preseason games, or am I going to have to watch D-Rose's preseason #thereturn sitting in the firstrow?

I believe the first game is on NBA tv, so you should be good if you have basic cable. League pass is a bit of scam bro. Good luck trying to cancel it! They will try real hard to make it impossible for you. Also too many damn blackouts :/ That being said, I might have to sign up again. Being a bulls fan in the OC sucks lol.

Rose said he thinks Michael Jordan plays one game for Charlotte this season.

But then he'd be exposed when the world sees what happens when you remove him from his old Eastern Conference All-Star team/Hall of Fame line-up.

He schooled college OJ Mayo and more recently MKG among others. He'd be alright in a half court grind out type game at his age. The Dream could probably do damage at his age as well if his training vids are anything to go off of.

Just saw this video, I guess he could do a little damage in today's NBA. Just annoyed his name floods the media and boosts his already overinflated ego every time he makes some dumb ass little comment, and we're like 20 years past his prime.

The obvious irony, lost on you, is you just described the Miami Heat. Only the Eastern Conference has been even more of a joke in recent years than in Jordan's era.

Yeah, they were called the Pistons, and they clowned him again and again until they resorted to bringing in Phil Jackson. I like how people always bring up his 6/6 Finals record, but what was his overall PLAYOFF record, at age 28 like Lebron?

Comparing accomplishments by age is silly. Bron was playing at 18. That's some ESPN level spin.

Shaquille didn't even score his first NBA point until he was 20 years old. What a trash player.

That's exactly my point, people want to count him taking the garbage Cavs to the Finals and not being able to finish off a seasoned team like the Spurs AGAINST him, instead of praising him as probably the only player in history who could singlehandedly carry such a talentless team as far as he did.

I guarantee you if MJ the diva would've had the misfortune of being drafted by such a bad team, he'd be a first round exit every year, and would whine and beg for a trade. Of course it never worked out that way, the Hall of Fame came to him, and now we have "the best player ever".

...what. Bulls weren't stacked in the 80s. and he played with varying levels of talent. Pip didn't become Pip overnight either.


In 10 season MJ 3 chips back to back to back. No finals losses. And 1 year away from the game.

In 10 seasons LBJ 2 chips back to back. 2 Finals losses. 1 more year than MJ in the league.

So in other words, in the same amount of seasons, Lebron took his team to one more Finals trip. Lebron 4 appearances, MJ 3 appearances. Got it. Oh, and he didn't need to already be on his "superteam" to do it, he did it with the lowly Cavs too? Got it.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

But it's also unfair to LeBron to directly compare their first ten seasons considering that Jordan got to learn and physically develop in college for three years.

But I thought Pippen was a nobody, and MJ did it all alone? Oh right, Pippen led the Bulls deep in the playoffs himself when MJ decided to go play baseball. He made the All-Star team every year MJ did. Bulls also had some other All Stars like BJ and Horace Grant, and Phil Jackson coaching, then tossed in Rodman the best rebounder of alltime for good measure, not to mention snipers from the outside like Paxson and Kukoc.

Yeah, MJ did it alone, alright. Imagine Lebron being blessed with that type of talent. Oh wait, he finally is, and he snaps off back to back rings and Finals MVPs.

How many of MJ's appearances were without the superteam? Surely the greatest player ever should be able to at least take a lesser team to the Finals like Lebron did right? Hmm, guess not.

As for your second point, I dont know that MJ himself is even clearly better than Bird, but thats another conversation for another day. MJ is in my top 10 NBA talents of all-time for sure, thats about it.

It's not like Jordan recruited Horace Grant, Pippen and BJ Armstrong to play with him after they became allstars. They were unknowns who were for the most part on the bench the first few years. Also it's not like those guys weren't part of the team when the Bulls got beat by the Pistons. I would say Jordan made those players into they eventually became.

I don't know if you saw those games back in the 80's and 90s but people questioned if the bulls could win a chip because everyone thought the team sucked other pippen. Remember the "Jordanaires" and "The Chicago Jordans". That's why people give lebron shit, he would have bailed on the Bulls after 89!

Also check the Bulls roster from 85-87 LOL

I think top 5 all-time order can be debated forever, and MJ might barely be in the discussion, but for him to be seen as undisputed #1, not taking into account the competition he faced and his favorable surroundings, is some grade A bullshit.

Bird faced some real beasts in his time, who did MJ face? Malone? Barkley? Hahaha

Drexler, Magic and Barkley (who was MVP btw and had the best record that year)

Finally beat Isiah and scored 63 against what people considered one of the best teams of all time.

BTW I'm a big fan of Lebron, just trying to be fair with the comparison.

'93 Suns and Knicks were really fucking good. Best offense of the west and the best defense in the east. '93 suns reminded me a lot of the Kings teams that lost to Lakers, but better.

At the end of the day all you have to do is watch the games and it's pretty easy to judge these players. Scottie was great but he had a tendency to disappear late in games or when the game became a half court one.
