Golf, crawfish, and far too many adult bevvies for a 'networking event'. Trying to talk myself out of taking the woman who was paired in the other 3-some we played with back to the hotel. If she's not a client or cowowrker is that an issue? AFAF

Have people really been arguing for 6 pages that Rodman could actually beat LeBron one on one?
It's the same type of fans that crap on Brees because he was canceled and tried to feign caring about BLM to save his post NFL career. They are either unable to separate the player on the court vs off the court, or are so much of a Jordan fan that they have to crap on anyone in his stratosphere without realizing their arguments refute their arguments, or that their arguments are a net negative on their own beliefs.

quote:Interesting, so if we look at shots in the paint vs free throw attempts you are saying that we wouldn't see an outlier player based off the correlation? Or are those stats moving goalposts because they don't prove 'your truth'?
Never happened
It could just be Tide and myself watched games, saw the articles, see the stats to back it up and say that's reality, instead of having a stance and saying everyone and everything else is wrong because the MSB agrees with me. :dunno:

I appreciate them both as the best 2 I have ever seen play. I got to witness the peak of both of their careers, as did the majority of the posters here. I don't like Lebron's off the court stuff. I think he is nowhere near as intelligent as he portrays himself and can be incredibly cringey. I get not liking Lebron the person. I can understand the LeFlop nickname, but I watched his whole career and remember when the best defense was to rough him up because he was so big that he could take hard fouls and not get the call. So, I understand why he started it and where it came from. All that said I can appreciate the guy for what he is on the court and what he has done. He just wrapped up season 23, putting up numbers that would be the peak avg for a lot of high end players in their prime in the box score. There have been a lot of athletes I didn't like, but I appreciated getting to witness. I don't understand people who can't do that. How do you watch a Lebron, Bonds, Brady, Tiger, Ovechkin, etc. and not appreciate the athletic feats you are seeing for what they are?

quote:You can't. Which is why your entire argument is posting numbers, having those numbers put into context, and then crying goalposts were moved.
I have to repost what we just posted and explain logic to you?
You've done nothing but prove my point that you don't understand what you are posting and just say that the goalposts were moved. The goalposts were not moved, I told you why your rebuttal was not saying what you thought it did when given the actual context. I made a statement, you gave stats to refute said statement, I gave context to your stats, you cried I changed the argument, I asked for rebuttal, you said goalposts, I asked if you could rebuttal, you cried goalposts, I asked if you could rebuttal, you say I can't go back through all that and show why I'm right and if you need me to then you just don't get it.
If you want to be a gotcha twitter troll, then be that. If you want to swim in the deep end and talk ball, then up your game.

quote:No Tide, that can't be. A guy outside of the top 25 in defensive efficiency would absolute destroy a top5 efficient scorer that has the highest win shares ever in 1v1. That just proves how good a guy with a similar efficiency rating, outside of the top5 in win shares really was. :lol:
Nobody reading MJ fan’s takes can take them serious.

quote:What did you disprove about my claim? You threw numbers out, out of context. 9/15 is worse than 13/23 to which you called moving the goalposts. It's not emotional or reactionary it's facts. Moving the goalposts would have been me pointing out that if we capped it at the first 15 seasons the number drops to 6 missed Finals for James vs Jordan's 9. That would have been a fair 'don't move the goalposts'. Pointing out that 40% is lower than 43% is not that.
Again it wasn’t my standard it was yours.

I genuinely dislike the MSB because the takes on here are so bad for Lebron that I defend him as a Lebron hater. You can dislike the guy and recognize his talent and accomplishments.
quote:Takes like this. I think Jordan is the greatest to ever lace them up. His peak is absolutely untouchable and that 7-8 year stretch is the most dominate we will probably ever see. That said...if you honestly think the Worm would have destroyed a top 3 player all-time that he was smaller than, slower than, less explosive than, shot poorer than, and had nowhere near the ballhandling of...then all you are doing is giving fodder to the Lebron fans who say Jordan had to have an elite supporting cast to win. The Rodman and Pippen both would beat Lebron 1v1 crowd takes away from Jordan, not James.
Rodman would destroy LeBron with his defense

as predicted
Moving goal posts = using the data provided to prove the point.
You are the one moving the goalposts. Using your argument and logic:
Lebron - 10 Finals
Jordan - 6 Finals
Debate over. Remember if we dig any deeper into the data then we are moving the goalposts, by your logic and application of stats.

quote:Which will put his numbers closer to MJ's. With the bulk coming after he turned 40. Lebron in season 23 at 43 years old is putting up better numbers than Jordan did at 39 in his 15th season.
I predict a 14th season for Lebron
There is no goalpost moving, Jordan and James are 1A and 1B all-time. Jordan had the better peak, but James has had the better career. Saying James is fringe top 10 is a take by someone with no ball knowledge and requires goal posts to constantly be moved.
James would absolutely destroy Rodman if both were in their prime. He was bigger, faster, more explosive, a better shooter, a better ball-handler... this is such a stupid topic and anyone who believes Rodman would keep a game of 21 within 10 with them both in their prime is just showing their basketball takes are not to be taken seriously. Lebron at 18 or 43 against Rodman in his prime would still win. The Rodman comps that would make for a fun 1v1 would be Paul Millsap or Draymond Green.

Tide, you should know by now that choking in the Finals or losing to a team as an underdog means you are fringe top 10. In order to be the GOAT you have to lose in the first round or miss the playoffs entirely unless you are unequivocally on the best team. 1st Round losses are better than Finals losses, this is simple Jordanomics.

Only player to be in the NCAAF, NFL, and US Lacrosse Hall of Fames. His Senior year at Cuse he scored 43 goals and had 21 assists in 10 games, where Cuse went 10-0 and won the championship. :lol: He also scored 5 goals in the first half of the All-American game.

Spring is busy, mini AS is gearing up for rec season but hitting the age where a lot of his buddies and ones he has played on all-stars with are moving to travel teams. Now comes the decisions on what all he wants to do. :lol: We gonna do flag, soccer, rec, biddy ball, and lacrosse. Or are we gonna pick one or two we can focus on more as the seasons currently overlap not counting moving to a travel or club team in any of the sports.
Playing catch, doing ball skill drills, playing horse, working on cradling, hitting the cages, catching some sun perch...a lot into a little time.
How's your spring?
