Jordan only played for the Wizards because he thought they really were ....... His aging body wanted that wizardly immortality.

Curry would be even greater today had he jumped after his freshman year at Davidson and got all that day to day coaching and practice in the d-league.
yeah because it was due to Davidson's coach ... you know him and his track record of producing 1 NBA player..... (steph Curry)
You don't remember when Michael Jordan couldn't be stopped????? Hahahahaha Listen pal, Steph is a great player but he couldn't hold Jordan's jock strap. Jordan played both sides of the ball and he could guard Steph but no way in the world Steph could guard him.
I think that is the technique for all fadeaways.Great job brianpoe... now find a picture of him in his signature move... the fade away
As you can tell, he kicked his knee out and anytime a player got close enough to actually be able to defend it..... they got kicked ...
Yes I know he's not actually fouling anyone in these pics but they don't have pics of every shot ever taken but these quick ones I found show his technique on his fade away.
Are you a moron? The Warriors are chasing the unbeatable team of 72 wins, what do you think they're chasing now? The Bulls with Pippen, Jordan, Rodman, Kukoc would beat this Warriors team in a 7 game series for sure, maybe not easily but they'd win.
Where did I say that? There are only a handful of people with multiple MVP awards and titles.

He's the closest thing to a Jordan-esque kind of impact that we've seen since everyone wanted to be like Mike.
The clear difference is the defensive end. At his apex Jordan was BOTH the world's best offensive AND defensive player. He's the only guy I've ever seen simultaneously dominate both ends of the floor to that extent.
Curry, on the other hand, is only a dominating force on offense, he's fairly average at the other end. But, man oh man, is he ever a breathtaking offensive player.

Curry > Jordan....hahahaha.
People saying Curry is even close to MJ must be under 30 years old.
The things MJ did were jaw dropping and things people hadn't ever seen before.
Curry is awesome for sure, but at this point is not close to MJ.

The Bulls had trouble beating a team with 1 Reggie Miller........ but you think they'd easily win in a game against 2 reggie millers and two more other players shooting the ball very well like Green?
So you are going down on the side its not a foul to knee people in the stomach?
Wow, I know Steph is great. I'm amazed at what he can do. I've never seen anyone shoot like that but he has a seriously LOOOOOONG way to go to catch the guys that still have a LOOOOONG way to go to catch MJ. Anyone that thinks SC is better needs their head examined or just never saw what MJ did every night on the court.
Seriously, we have someone claiming he was kneeing defenders in the chest? Come on. That dude used to get punished in the lane but he always went back in for more.
When you start nit picking things like Jordan's knee sticking out on his jump shots you have no shot at winning the argument.
On top of that, I think it's a smart move, if you're going to block the shot you're going to have to go through a knee to do it.

Oh you got me...... I don't need to keep posting about this ......... but I'm going to do it anyways. See what I did there?
people and their nostalgia. "no one can ever play as good as michael jordan because that would ruin my precious memories" puhhhhleaze people

No it's not. And those teams of the Bulls, esp the 72 win team might of won 80 if they wanted too in today's game.
Wait, what? Had trouble beating who? What did the pacers ever accomplish during the Bulls' run?
So the reality is, he stayed in college and became the player he is, but somehow the D league would have made him a much better player?
Don't buy it for a second.
We have : the best player in the NBA was a 4 year college athlete. I'm gonna say all that help and growth at the college level helped his confidence and aided him in becoming who he is.
The "nostalgia" excuse is just that, an excuse. Just because Jordan played years ago doesn't mean anyone thinking he was better is due to nostalgia. One of them has to be better, and nostalgia has nothing to do with it. I could just as easily say people today think Curry is better because it's fresher on the minds of kids and watchers today.
See how that works.
There's nobody playing today as good as MJ. Curry is the best shooter I've ever seen, and may be the best in the NBA, but MJ is likely the greatest to ever play. There's only 1 maybe 2 people in history that belong in that conversation with MJ. In his prime, he was virtually unstoppable and would thrive in any era.
trouble as in giving chicago fits. Those series werent easy for the Bulls to win.
Im just saying people are going way over board saying Chicago would EASILY beat the Warriors in a best of 7... especially with the Warriors shooting lights out like they have been this year.
God please stop making me take up for a f'ing North Carolina player. I hate the guy dating back to the 90's because he was a terrible person (still is) and a UNC grad.
But good lord. A few of you are making me.
I'm gonna go take my colt ww2 1911 .45 and go take my head off now.

Wrong. Curry did not play four years, he left school after his junior year.
And, I'm sorry, but the notion that friggin Davidson molded him into this is ludicrous. He'd be just as good or better today if he'd left earlier.
Yea 3.
Yo have no proof of it at all. The best player in the NBA played 3 years at college. It is what it is. Maybe Davidson did help mold that. The D league does not guarantee anything. Lots of players end their careers there. The college game can help in several aspects, including confidence. Deal with it. It's all what it is.
You have no proof that college was critical to his success. He's a very different player now. The truth is college generally has very little to do with your professional success.
The only proof we have is he became the best player in the NBA while staying in school nearly until the end. I understand we must slurp every recruiting point of cal, but some players become better in school.
Crazy idea I know.
Saying colleg has no bearing on how good a player can become is insane. I'm sorry
And how many years of college ball were played by Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowitzki, Derrick Rose, Kevin Durant, etc.? Let's see, every single other MVP in recent years either played no college ball or did only their obligatory one and done season.
But because there's one guy who's the exception to the rule it must've been that mighty mid-major competition at Davidson that gave us this. Riiiiiiight. That's ludicrous reasoning.

All players are different. Curry seems to me like he developed mad confidence throught he college game.
You think you can disprove that. I get it. But it's only in your mind.
Yeah, um....the MJ Bulls teams only played the Pacers in the playoffs one time. So????

I never said Curry was better. I'm just saying some have already made their mind up that no one can be as good as Jordan so even if it happened...for Curry for example... those people wouldnt see it or admit it
you are right , it was only 1. but it was still the most trouble the Bulls encountered in any of their title hunts.
Curry isn't in the top 20 yet man, give it up. A couple great years doesn't make a legend. Come talk about Curry in about 10 years and we'll see. The Bulls beat the Warriors in a 7 game series probably in 6. Teams last year and this year wouldn't be in the top 5 teams in the Bulls run of 6 championships.
How many players have you seen attempt at least 20 shots per 36 minutes and have a TS% over 65 for a season?
That Reggie Miller team would be today's Warriors also so what's your point?
Great job brianpoe... now find a picture of him in his signature move... the fade away

Seriously? These are all fade aways and not one photo has a knee in some ones chest...
I cant ride with you on this one brother.
