That Michael Jordan actually was not that athletic and we only think so because of camera angles?

So Michael Jordan actually sucked. Just had good camera angles. Your definition of objective appears to be subjective.

His entire tirade is actually about pumping up Lebron, just like all of his tirades.

Everything that idiots saw back in the day was forced perspective.
You do realize that those were not the broadcast camera angles and we have all the literal same angles nowadays for dunks in the pics you're taking, right?

Or simply put, your exact point isn't really adding up.

Did you just prove yourself wrong in back to back posts without realizing it?

Keep reading. I think I might have redeemed myself.

But, probably not

This is another great one. Too bad it was well after the media decided to prop up Michael Jordan.
We don't have cameras 5 inches off the ground like in the days of MJ!

Then Reauxlie proceeds to post multiple pics of cameras 5 inches off the ground from today's dunkers

Reauxl himself made 2 posts with pics that factually proved himself wrong, what are you talking about?

Imagine thinking that parts of the game today are NOT filmed at baseline level(and a shite ton more angles) and we don't have videos from the same angles as we did in 1988 or some shite.

Of course there are SOME photographers that take cool photos but people saw Jordan hit game winners and shite in forced perspective.

It, among a lot of other things, created the god level hype that we continue to see.
