HighwayCrossingFrog said 03/11, 02:49 PM
im sorry.. But 90s baskeyball was a joke..
Yawn..
Karl malone was the 2nd greatest nba player.. And he was OK..
kobe is a moron when he says he never had a rival..
he couldnt beat spurs.. The celts shut him up too..
and hes only won one mvp..
Jordan took advantage of a weak error..:)
Similar to federer before nadal dumped hit butt..
And the sad thing is heonly won 6..
when he should have won 9..
Whole thing is a joke..

Okay this is a very strange TD here. So the NBA in the 90's was joke? Okay here are couple names that had great careers during that decade. Olajuwon, Robinson, Stockton, Ewing, Payton just to name a couple to start off with.
Kobe's career didn't start until 1996. His career didn't take off until the next decade. From 1996 to 1999 he was just learning the NBA game.
What weak error did Jordan take advantage of? I remember him making some errors playing minor league baseball for the Birmington Barons though.
Not sure what Federer and Nadal have to do with hoops although I doubt if either of 'em can dunk!
MJ proabaly would have won 8 in a row had he not tried his hand at baseball.
No question this is a funny TD.
Thanks for the TD HCF and good luck.

Hey its not my fault MJ played in a weak era of an error..
Where were the big men?
no garnett, no shaq no kareem..
Stockton was good..
but paul, rondo and derek williams nets were better..
His main rivals were a sucky knicks and a suspect pacers..
Dude was LUCKY..
this isnt gthe nfl, where basically every year is loaded with talent..
Even mike and mike said jordan faced weak competition..
Barkley, really?
really?
dude was over weight..
yeah great rival.. In a food competition..

HCF I have no idea what you are drinking although will you share?
I laugh at your statement that MJ played in a weak era, he was just that much better than his peers. He proved that by taking a break in '94/'95. Then in '96/'97/'98 he returned to form and was kickin' everyone's a**.
Shaq played in the 90's and made it to his first Finals while MJ took a break. GK's was a rookie in '95 and his career didn't take off until the 2000's. And KAJ's career started in 1969. It's a d*mn good thing he didn't play in the 90's.
No disrespect to CP3, Rondo or D. Will although I'd rather have the NBA's all time leader in assists and steals.
LUCKY is winning the lottery. No athlete in any sports was LUCKY enough to win 6 titles and 6 Finals MVP's. Should I even mention what MJ did during the regular season? I'll wait on that one to see what you say next if necessary.
If every team is loaded with talent on the NFL level what the hells wrong with the Browns then(ha-ha)?
Make all the jokes you want about Barkley. The NBA will probably never see another 6-6 PF that grabs 12, 546 career rebounds.

D*mn HCF thought you'd have a little more to say than that for your last argument.

This is a mess Frog. What does Kobe have to do with this? And there were TONS of good players in the 90's
Different era, different team concepts

The first half or so of Jordan's career, he was going up against Magic Johnson, Abdul Jabar, Barkley, Ewing, Olwajuan, etc. Second half of his career he was going up against the likes of Tim Duncan, David Robinson, Kobe etc. So he played in a weak era how exactly?

There's a reason left has has lost more than 600 of the less than 800 TD's he's done. Apparently he's a tad confused....

Johnson was in the league what, 2 years before Jordan. Barkley came in pretty much right at the same time. So did Olwajuan and Ewing. Adbul Jabar played into the 1990's. So Jordan played against him a decade. I'd hardly call any of those guys in a decline during Jordan's prime. Also was going up against Isiah Thomas and that Detriot team in their prime as well. You know, the one that won back to back titles?

MJ left because he was betting on games as well as other gambling habits , that's why he left . To get the heat off his greedy ass .

Jordan came out of the college during the same era as Isaiah Thomas, Barkley, Drexler, Olajuwon, Ewing, Robinson and Karl Malone. This list alone are in the 50 greatest players of all time. This isn't even including the great teams of the Lakers, Blazers, Pistons and also the Houston Rockets. Left is off his rocker.

pretty obvious from the 2nd argument, Froggy must have heard this on Mike & Mike and he's just playing off of it

most of those guys in their prime would be on the bench in today's NBA....the game has changed....those guys were good but some were awfully slow....they were some of the "big" guys in the 90's....but they are not so large in comparison to today's players....I don't agree with left but I see where he's coming from....all sports are higher level than they were 20 years ago....the athletes now are bigger, faster, stronger, better trained, have a better diet, better equipment, better PEDs....I can actually picture Jordan trying the Air Jordan dunk and slamming into Shaq before falling to the floor with a broken ego....How would Barry Sanders fare now with linemen that can run just as fast as he could? How many gold medals would Carl Lewis win racing against Usain Bolt? How many would Spitz win swimming against Phelps?
