showed up on my yt feed. CLE fans were such shit to him.

most MIA fans I know seem to hate on him as well, because he left.

he left MIA idgaf, balled out while he was here. can't wait to see him in LA tbh... exciting :D

Zion debut.. some impressive highlights. a few nasty dunks too. man, he is strong.

i'm curious what he's going to look like in a few years.. he's kinda Barkley-ish, but with more offensive potential i imagine.

I don't know if anyone else likes perusing NBA GOAT lists in the off-season, but this one was finished in April this year and is definitely one of the most comprehensive and detailed I've read.

bruh zion is nuts.. i don't care what level of opp he's playing (compared to his current level), his ability to finish is incredible. he makes some insanely tough shots, with beautiful finesse.

if lebron was a "mix of magic and michael" in a sense, then Zion might be a mix of Shaq, Kobe & Barkley. LMFAO.

absolutely disgusting dunk @ 6:10

That looks like an awesome article/list/concept/research etc. Great find.

I'll dig into the specifics of a few players, especially LEBRON & MJ :D

Also curious about Ray Allen.

MJ had a 43in running vertical AT BEST imo. SVJ could be as low as 30in. I hate all this misinformation and kiss ass on MJ having 48 in vertical yeah right maybe in space jam the movie....

tbh i think MJ might be one of the most overrated players in NBA history.... simply because their was an aura about him so the refs had to make calls for him, and then players ahd to play him certain way cause why get into foul trouble so easily.... MJ was like the nba.... in his era.... def overrated

in a photo shoot of usa bball with magic and bird, magic said "cant get too close to MJ or it'll be a foul"

def agree on the "players had to play him certain way cause why get into foul trouble so easily".

i say this to people and they look at me like i'm making blasphemous statements. I remember watching Bulls games and just cringing at the calls MJ got, even thoughI was cheering for him (if he wasn't playing against MIA). Kobe got those kinds of calls too.

people have been trying to erase that history with MJ, but I can't forget it, it was brutal to watch.

MJ was incredible & probably the most clutch player i've ever seen, but the calls he got once he transitioned into "superstar status", every game, were ridiculous. Prior to that, he couldn't get past Detroit/Boston etc. Once those superpowers disappeared, they made MJ untouchable.. that's all I know.

Boston disappeared because of Larry Legends back issues. Detroit just got beat. All he needed was one good player (sorry, I think pippen rode the f out of MJs coattails) and he didn't lose again.

He did get some incredible calls but like you mentioned so did Kobe, LeBron, etc
Insert motivational quote here...

nah, Lebron doesn't get calls. Lebron gets calls like Shaq got calls. They let people rake him. If they gave Lebron the MJ/Kobe treatment, he'd be shooting 40 freethrows a game. Same for Shaq, but he'd miss 60% of them.

you could whisper at MJ and they'd blow the whistle :/
