One year Jordan averaged 37 PPG in a league that allowed hand checking on the perimeter. That would be like scoring 45 PPG in this NBA.

LeBron won't beat the Spurs, and won't ever win another championship.
Spurs in 5.

In the irony of ironies, the Cavs could not be a better fit for LeBron at this point, especially if they pick Noel and he ends up being an athletic 5 who can alter shots and rebound.

The moment Jordan retired, everybody and their mothers biiiiiiiiitched and bitched and bitched and bitched about the quality of the league. No studs. No stars. Nothing to watch. Bunch of overpaid guys who don't try hard. Not even Shaq and Kobe were good enough for some people.
Now we've got a league with all kinds of budding stars, led by Lebron freakin' James, and people still aren't impressed? Look, the NFL doesn't have Barry Sanders or Walter Payton, but it DOES have Adrian Peterson and Jamaal Charles. Sports change. They adapt to trends and new winning strategies. Players change. They train differently. They learn the game differently. Get over it. |

Not nostalgia the skill level has dropped off and there isn't that many super stars compared to when I was growing up.

Why the Spurs are clearly the superior team

I'm not sure the point you're trying to make here. When Jordan scored 37 PPG he was not a true perimeter player yet. Without handchecking he would've been unstoppable attacking the basket. His 37 PPG year he hit 12 threes the entire season, shot 48% from the field and attempted almost 1000 FTs. Imagine how many FTs he'd attempted if hand checking was a foul.

Jordan didn't flop.
He has that going for him, too. |
