Michael Jordan's List of 4 Players from NOW that could survive in HIS Era of Basketball |
| | ||||
| | ||||
| [pic] JORDAN PLAYS his new favorite trivia game, asking which current players could be nearly as successful in his era. "Our era," he says over and over again, calling modern players soft, coddled and ill-prepared for the highest level of the game. This is personal to him, since he'll be compared to this generation, and since he has to build a franchise with this generation's players. "I'll give you a hint," he says. "I can only come up with four." He lists them: LeBron, Kobe, Tim Duncan, Dirk Nowitzki. When someone on TV compares LeBron to Oscar Robertson, Jordan fumes. He rolls his eyes, stretches his neck, frustrated. "It's absolutely … " he says, catching himself. "The point is, no one is critiquing the personnel that he's playing against. Their knowledge of how to play the game … that's not a fair comparison. That's not right … Could LeBron be successful in our era? Yes. Would he be as successful? No." Via |

| This dude should just stop talking[pic]... You were a great ball player, but evaluating talent isn't ur strong suit [pic] Those wouldn't be the only 4 players to make it in "Your" era [pic] But then again, you thought Kwame Brown & Adam Morrison could make it in this era so we know your opinion don't mean !!

You don't think evaluating talent that is already in their prime is a HUGE difference than evaluating 19-22 year olds in college? [pic] Last edited by Cloud 420; 02-15-2013 at 09:26 AM.. | ||

| The announcers gush about LeBron, mentioning him in the same sentence with Jordan, who hears every word. Those words have an effect on him. He stares at the TV and points out a flaw in LeBron's game.

So you two think only the 4 guys he mentioned would be the only ones to survive in his era??? [pic] Like I'm not refuting the 4 he said, but he's and idiot if he thinks those 4 would be the only ones to make it [pic] And yes it does makes sense clown, his picks have been some of the most horrible in history and if these are his only picks to make it based of prime, then he doesn't know how to correctly evaluate that either [pic] | |||
