Was Jordan over-rated?

[tarheelsnipe]

Getting off the topic, but I like watching AI play. I thought he was a thug too when in his earlier years, but the guy can flat out score. He changed my opinion of him.

I do love his quote about practice, though. I use it all the time.

That whole practice fiasco is the only thing I disagree he did, except the recent one on thanksgiving day, that was BS.

Sorry for going off topic, just was replying to the anti facts

Bro I am sorry, like I said not trying to bash him but he is selfish always has been, he is a scorer and can take over games. Jordan didn't need anyone else he was just lucky enough to have them. I lost a lot of respect for AI when he said he doesn't have to respect anyone , those guys paved the way for him.

Im gunna stop going off topic, but isnt the NBA about scoring? And yes, Jordan did need them.

[lil5up3rman]

it's not just about scoring it's about defense to, I am not saying he isn't a great player because he is. But look at Jordan's stats even when Pippen was out, they still won games and he played very well and picked up the slack to say Jordan needed them is just flat out wrong he could have carried that team by himself.

Russell was the greatset, becasue he won multiple championships with different backcourts. When it matter in the playoffs, he schooled Wilt. He didn't need to score, becasue the Celtics provided him with the option in the backcourt. Defense wins chamionships and he was the greatest at defense. This is why he is the greatest.

His famous "last" shot for 6th Championship included a non-call foul to get wide open. LMK what you guys think.

[drtom2005]

LOL. right before the shot a foul should have been called against Jordan in my humble opinion.

This in my opinion, that it was close enough to be a no call and the refs continued play and allowed the players to determine the game. Perhaps maybe if this play happened earlier in the game instead of the last few seconds they might of called a foul.

Man we can agree to disagree. Just a discussion, nothing personal.
