i don’t think it’s ignoring data as much as it is prioritizing different aspects or stats
People ignore the first 7 years of MJ's playoff history as well as the impact of expansion on the talent of the teams he competed against.
I'm not sure I understand the first 7 years of MJ's playoff history dig/s. Just as I don't really understand the digs on LeBron for not winning championships.

When people point out Jordan's "failures" in his first 7 years I feel like asking if Jordan was a better player his first 7 playoff years or his last 7 playoff years. I figure most people would say/assume the 2nd 7.
Are they right?
what about Lebrons first 8? or 9? first playoff years?

I'm not understanding the question. Are you asking how I feel about his first 8 or 9 playoff years vs his last 8 or 9? I'm not too sure because I am not as familiar with his playoff history but my uneducated guess is he was probably pretty close to being even.

Today's games are sold out.
What percentage of the tickets that were purchased were purchased by people with the intent to re-sell them? I am guesstimating at least 30%. I could be (and probably am?) way off.

Lol. Didn't know if he needed his own thread. And he's being hyped as the greatest prospect of all time

But yeah man. I know what you mean

Not too sure we can say definitively that the GOAT Basketball player was an NBA player.
What I think everyone can agree on is that Wemby isn't the GOAT. Yet.

Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

Yeah, he’s not in the GOAT conversation yet. He’s just a KID

A KID who had a horse crap shooting night. Made two more FG in 27 minutes than I did.
2-13 fg 1-6 3pt

Granted, he did have 8 boards and 5 rejections.

You sound like people who point to climate change as false because there was one cooler than normal day where they live.

Also, MJ is the GOAT. LeBron probably two. Lots of others close. And Kobe, at best, fucked women in the ass without consent.

Yesterday, as a shooter, he sucked as a member of the NBA. Just like climate change, that's a reality.
Later today and after today, he may be fantastic member of the NBA. GOAT level fantastic.

P.S. If Wembey would have turned around he could have told us how Kai Jones nuts taste.




P.S.S. He proved he can't make shots wearing Spurs gear while UNguarded.




P.S.S.S He can/will defend tall players but expect to see a lot of this early in his career.

A volume shooter loving a volume shooter, no surprise.

Kobe and AI were great competitors and supremely gifted athletes who were both fun to watch but I put Kobe in Tier 2 of the GOAT debate.
