@Dawgy_Fresh couldnt qoute your post.
Sorry if it came across as a tone just enjoying the debate.
Id say those Jazz teams were better TEAMS than the Bulls. They pushed the Bulls hard.
When talking about NBA HOF remember that they have probably the easiest HOF to join. Im sure 04 Pistons have 2 if not 3 soon in Big Shot, Rip, and maybe a Dennis clone in Wallace. Heck Rasheed wasnt a bum himself.
I do agree with @Kasey Rodman wasnt in his prime. He didn't even care anymore. But MJ got a hold of him and found that fire saying "I need you." Rodman wasnt the same after the suicide "attempt."
Grant Hill definitely was the better player at the time with less talent surrounding him bit guys that over stepped him.
Im not a guy that's sold strictly on HOFers being end all be all of teams. Especially since Im a Pacers fan and Ive seen better teams lose to luck or more talent.
Pacers - Miller and add two of the smarter players in Marc Jackson and Scott. Also made the Finals after MJ left.
Knicks - Ewing surrounded with Starks, Oakley, Doc, and Greg Anthony.
Heat - Alonzo and the best crossover over in Hardaway and Rice with Riley as the HC.
Magic - Shaq and Penny enough said.
Hawks, Cavs, etc had great players
The defense then was tough way better individual job task then... a lot of hand checks, jersey grabs, etc...
PG - CP3 (Can vouch for best ever at his position), Curry, Rose (preinjuries), Westbrook (MJ like work ethic), Dame (clutch), Kyrie (dribbles and clutch)... Guys to watch Ben Simmons, Luka Doncic, Trae Young, and Ja Morant... Just missed the cut Rondo and Wall.
SG - Harden, George, Butler, Klay (2nd best shooter ever 61 points on 12 dribbles)... Guys to watch Beal, Oladipo, Booker, and Mitchell... Just missed the cut Jrue
SF - LBJ, KD, Kawhi, Giannis... Guys to watch Tatum and Ingram... Just missed the cut Hayward
PF - Elite guy is Davis, Guys that scrap for their team and are solid Draymond, Horford, Love and Griffin .. Guys to watch Siakim and Sabonis
C - Embiid, Jokic, KAT, Aldridge, Gobert, Gasol... Guy to watch Turner, Vucevic, Adams, Porzingis (injury derailed him a bit), Capela, Ayton... Just missed Cousins and Drummond
Are you saying Chris Paul is the best PG ever, or did I misunderstand?
Im saying he is able to seriously have a spot. I personally always go Stockton #1 and CP3 #2. I love CP3s game and think he was built perfectly for the 90s but his health had held back his greatness.
I wonder how many people can name 20+ players from the Jordan era but can't name more than 5 or 6 from LeBron's era.
Whoa...my man. Magic, Kidd, IT, Steph? CP3 is a great leader and true baller but man that’s reaching deep there, lol.
Not enough discussion here about Tim Duncan. He was better than Malone. Probably best PF ever if you consider Russell a C.
Hey I mentioned it
He might be best of his era, but he's not better than Isaiah Thomas.
I would argue he’s not better than Kidd or Steph either. I think they’re all better than Stockton but I respect the stats and how pesky or a defender Stockton was.
Probably people who watched NBA in the 90s but no longer watch the NBA today. The game today is full of incredible talent and every team pretty much has a young promising super talent or an elite all star or HoF. Very few don’t have at least someone polarizing to watch.
My biggest issue with CP3 didn’t translate to playoff success I’m. Im not talking about finals just playoff success- wish I could’ve see. Him and Kobe play together— **** that David Stern veto (rip)
So did I - I sometimes go back and forth on who was the best in their generation and from the mid 90s to late 00s it’s narrowly between Kobe and Timmy. I love Tim Duncan - best PF all time
Today’s PG is probably the deepest it’s ever been. If you compare 90s and 80s pgs there just so much better pg play from 00s +
80s - Magic, Thomas, D Johnson, Cheeks, Fat Lever, D Harper
90s - Stockton, KJ, Payton, Price, T. Hardaway, Penny,
00s - AI,Kidd, Nash, Stodamire, Maurbury, Parker, Billups
10s - CP3, Curry, Kyrie, Westbrook, Kemba, Dwill, lilard, Rondo, Conley, Lowry, Rose, Wall
No love for David Robinson on here. The Admiral avg 21-10-3 over his career.
