I wonder if I will end up like some of these geezers when it comes to sports debates in the future. I wasn't old enough to watch Jordan. I've followed Shaq first and then LeBron throughout his entire career. I knew I was witnessing greatness in both instances and that was good enough for me.
I hope so. So some young empty headed low IQ moron can take a crap all over you and the things you enjoy. IDK what to think, you either want to die young or enjoy a nice long life. You should be so lucky/blessed.
As a 55 y/o I'd say I'm on the 11th hole...but that also means I actually saw MJ and everyone after...and my eyes tell me MJ was the best.

Some of that depends on which officiating they used. Todays players would be called for fouls on every defensive set and traveling on the other end.
For me it’s Jordan. LeBron is probably legitimately top 5 especially if you include former NBA player opinions and not just us pissed off rabble who don’t like his attitude.
Jordan is a big dick too, but Jordan was also presented to us through a mostly corporate curated lens. There was no social media then. LeBron you are getting raw and uncovered love it or hate it.

LeBron talent wise is a top five player. His on court antics just don’t weigh favorably for me. The pampered victim mindset doesn’t help either.
I’ll take more of the older generation of players because of the style of play. Athleticism is more apparent today with added training improvements. That is the difference in evaluating. Maybe better athletes today but not sure the game is played at a better level. Reflects on the best players of the era.

Because of super shoes, I would not consider distance running as truly objective. There are as many runners that have broke 4 minutes in the last couple of years in these shoes than there have been in all of history. In D1 track you are seeing 4x 4 minute miles than in the years leading up to them.
You give Jim Ryan or Allen Webb that same technology and their times would be so far out of reach.
A similar thing happened in swimming in 2008 when records were dropping everywhere wearing a speedo suit.
If there were more players like Laimbeer now, maybe Draymond Green wouldn't get to bully the entire league.much easier to dislike the pistons with bill laimbeer, the original basketball thug.
