Michael Jordan Is Leaving Chicago to Play For Detroit
- Thread starter 2-0-Sixx
- Start date
he wasn't in his prime in Miami, but you can't deny he was a much better player... that was the last season he averaged at least 20 PPG, for the most part his stats have decline since then
this past season in Cleveland was by far his worst year statistically
in Miami he was probably a couple years past his prime... it's been 4 years since then and his productivity has declined tremendously
so yeah...

the cavs are a much better team than the pre gasol lakers. its not even close.
the fact remains lebron had a chance to be at least top 2 all time now he wont see the top 5. maybe not even 10 but definitely not 5. no way will he ever surpass bird, jordan, magic, russell or kobe. NEVER. not even with 8 rings in miami.

LeBron is a more dominant player than Kobe but Kobe knows how to win and he's learned from his mistakes. LeBron still got a long way to go so people need to stop actin like he aint shit because he don't got another dominant player to go along side of him(Shaq, Gasol) and he don't got the greatest coach of all time(you already know who that is) and he don't got perhaps the most clutch player in the league(i love and hate Derek Fisher at the same time) and he didn't have a Ron Artesticles or Lamar Scrodom. But he got pieces now so look out. They don't seem to have any depth though.
A lot of crazy shit being said in this thread:
Okay lets talk about Jordans legacy: the fact that a lot of people disagree with how Jordan did it vs Kobe and Lebron. Jordan played with players that were drafted to the Bulls, and they built that team, not like Jordan was drafted and they instantly won championships. It took time to build and when they got to that level they were unbeatable, how many people thought that Horace Grant leaving would change the team? It didn't, they got other players throughout the years that fit in as role players, not another dominant force. Jordan and Pippen were both drafted to Chicago and played the key roles on that dynasty.
Kobe, had he not had Shaq would not have been a force, but they created a dynasty, then when Shaq left they weren't shit, so they went and got Gason and were on top again.
Lebron had his chance, but yeh Cleveland had a chance to get Amare when he was a dominant force, instead they got Jamison. Cleveland had opportunities to make the team better, but got lesser players.
The biggest issue I have with Lebron is his copying Garnet with the baby powder throwing before games in Cleveland and making it his trademark, and 'the decision', the way he made it a soap opera and claiming to win championship after championship.
San Antonio is the closest to the Bulls dynasty because it is a team that they built without big trades and made it work, by keeping players together, that is what makes a dynasty.
