Well my post was about how comparing MJ and Kobe is overhyped because it's a measuring stick that can probably never be exceeded again by another player. There was no "worldwide appeal" until MJ became a brand. Stats are a different topic, but MJ having the highest ppg, as well as never losing in the Finals, helps support his status. Kobe has the best selling jersey in the world, and Lebron wants to be the first billionaire athlete; they're carrying the torch. To me, the only way anyone could achieve MJ status would be if they made the NBA the most popular sport in America, in addition to building a championship dynasty.

Kobe and Lebron are floor generals, but Michael was the emperor.

nets are just slowly waiting to rise. they start off with a 20 game lose streak and win the next 40 and make the playoffs. then they're gonna somehow take the finals.

He tripped one of the Knicks players purposely.

that bullying comment is w/e - nba players always say sh!t like that.
dude has just been getting on my nerves.

KG was a great player in his prime, but man, dude is a fuckin' prick. just cause he acts so fucking emotional on the court doesn't make him any fuckin' better. supposedly he's a huge douche off the court too. in an interview someone said that he straight up told some indiana pacers rookies to "fuck off" when they just wanted to shake his hand.
