revi Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 (edited) @edc: Re: Globalization of MJ Bakit parating mo sinisisi ang cable and media sa globalization ni Jordan.. even during the time of Bird.. TV was there.. Alam mo edc, dapat naglaro si Bird, Magic, Bill Russel, Wilt lahat nung 90's eh.. Para makita mo na si Jordan pa rin ang mag-glo-globalize ng sport.. Bird will never do it coz he lacked charisma.. Sagutin mo rin ito: May charisma ba si Bird? So hindi siya magiging torch bearer ng basketball kailan man.. Kahit na gaano pa siya ka-talented.. Jordan had the skills, the highlights, the dunks, the extra kick.. walang player na ganun.. Kahit nga si LBJ na sinasabi mo na ibang level kaagad eh hindi mapantayan yun eh.. I heard one person who said na si LBJ daw baduy maglaro - pangit ang form kaya hindi masyado nakikita yung galing nya .. si Jordan ba nasabihan ng ganito ever..

revi Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Some quotes on players/coaches who once played against Jordan: Isaiah Thomas (1997) - "the greatest player I've ever seen.." - o ayan nakalaro niyan si Bird/Magic ha? Pat Riley (90's): "Sometimes you can build a team that could be a championship team, but you never win because you had the misfortune of being born at the same time that Jordan was. I don't think that anybody is going to win until Michael retires. I just don't. That's just the way it goes." - Comment: I think Riley was saying that when Jordan learned to have confidence on his team mates.. he became unstoppable.. and can never be beaten.. - ayan, Magic, Kareem, Ewing, Mourning was coached by Riley, Bird was not coached but Riley battled the Celtics all through-out sa 80's.. Hersey Hawkins: "I don't want him to retire either. I would love to have him a little while longer. I think what he stands for, his personality and his charisma, is so good for the league. But I've got to be honest with you. I like the guy, but he's held me back a lot. I could have had some rings if it wasn't for him." -- Nuff said! Jerry Sloan: When asked what does Jordan have that makes him hard to stop: "His will." - Comment: Hindi talent ano? Kundi puso.. overwhelming at walang takot na magpakamatay para manalo.. ---- How do we define greatness? During the Bulls' 5th championship.. where Kerr hit that 3 point shot to break a deadlock from a pass to Jordan.. remember that? Ganda ano? But that's not what makes Jordan great.. Ito: In game 5 of that series, Jordan was nearly exhausted because of food poisoning.. hindi siya kumain ng buong araw before that game.. stomach flu eh.. diarrhea siguro.. Dehydrated.. Any player would have not performed or baka nga hindi pa maglaro eh.. But Jordan was different, he scored 38 points, and capped off that performance with a three pointer to unlock the tied game at 85-all.. naging 88-85.. After that kumapit siya kay Pippen dahil para daw siyang hihimatayin.. Dramatic you say? I say great.. This defines Jordan.. how he played the game.. how he improved kahit na-cut siya sa Laney squad nung high school.. how he improved all aspects of his game.. how he had charisma on and off the court and basically how he dominated basketball.. Can Bird top that, edc.. Then sabihin mo kung papaano? Bird may be talented.. maybe the greatest in some blind follower's eye.. like yourself.. but the icon Jordan will never be beaten by just a Bird.. Air Jordan is not just a legend.. unlike your Larry Legend.. he is an icon.. may rebulto yan.. bakit si Bird ba meron sa Boston na rebulto.. Baka ang patayuan ng rebulto dun si Bill Russel eh.. dahil isang katutak na championships ang ibinigay niya as player and even as coach.. Quote Link to comment
Alucard Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Para sa mga maka BIRD NBA's Greatest Moments"God Disguised as Michael Jordan" On April 20, 1986, inside Boston Garden, Michael Jordan put on an unforgettable show. VIDEO: Game highlights of Michael's 63-point game: RealVideo - 28.8+ | ISDNJordan was able to play in only 18 regular-season games in his second year in the NBA, after breaking a small bone in his foot in Chicago's third game of the year. Although he was encouraged to sit out the end of the season in order to make sure he was fully healed for the next, he insisted on coming back late in the season and led the Bulls to the 1986 NBA Playoffs. It was in Game 2 of Chicago's first round matchup against the eventual NBA champion Boston Celtics that Jordan showed just how thoroughly he had recovered. In the hallowed halls of the Boston Garden, he set a playoff record by scoring an amazing 63 points against what many considered to be one of the greatest NBA teams ever. The Celtics won the game, 135-131 in double-overtime, and went on to sweep the Bulls, but Jordan's playoff record still stands. "Michael was doing so much and so well, I found myself just wanting to stop and watch him -- and I was playing," said teammate John Paxson. "I didn't think anyone was capable of doing what Michael has done to us," marveled Celtics ace Larry Bird. "He is the most exciting, awesome player in the game today. I think it's just God disguised as Michael Jordan Quote Link to comment

Guest airmax Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 tanong ko lang...why did you expect jordan to beat his opponents in the 90's???...because he was so damn great, dominant and complete player that's why!!! it's unfair to say that 90's teams were not competetive...nobody proved to be able to beat jordan in the 90's but that doesnt mean they're run off teams. if the bulls were so good in the 90's its because jordan demanded it...his teammates were not handed to him in silver platter...the bulls organization had to work several years to build a championship caliber team around jordan... it toook them 7 years to finally assemble the winning team....when the other teams failed to match up with the bulls, it was their own fault.. when the teams were not able to defend the triangle offense, it was their own fault...when the teams succumb to pressure team defense led by jordan, pippen and rodman, it's their own fault...there are three rounds in playoffs before getting into the finals...the bulls opponents had several games to try and beat the bulls but they were not successful...hindi tumunganga yang mga yan habang pinapanood si jordan mag shoot...hindi umiwas yang mga yan pag nagdrive si jordan sa basket...am sure they tried their best..unfortunately for them, jordan was so damn great... btw, following your criteria to be considered the greatest player then these would be your candidates: 1. willis reed of NY Knics2. bill walton of Portland Trailblazers eto yung mga leaders ng teams na hindi expected manalo pero nakakuha ng nba title... jordan and bill russell are considered the top two greatest players of all time....etong dalawa na to galing sa teams na hindi dehado..these two were dominating the league during their times... so following your criteria, are you saying that jordan and russell are both inferior to willis reed and bill walton?!?!?!?!?!<{POST_SNAPBACK}> kung titingnan mo wala namang dominant center ang bulls noong 90's. wala ring silang true point guard during their championship run. but they still won 6 championships.

Gideon Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 MJ, JUST LIKE BRET HART IS THE BEST THERE WAS AND THE BEST THERE EVER WILL BE!<{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't believe that phrase! There will always be somebody BETTER. It doesn't stop at one point but evolves. Kanya-kanyang panahon lang yan. From Bill Russell, Chamberlain, Bob Cousy, Isiah, Magic, Bird, Jordan, Duncan, Shaq, etc.... To name quite a few. Quote Link to comment
Gideon Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I can safely say that Jordan was the Greatest Player during the 90's. That's the time where he won 6 NBA Championships and everything. The 90's was Jordan's time. And it will be forever be in our memory. Quote Link to comment
lover_bong Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 :mtc: TAMA KA JAN BRO...JORDAN ALWAYS STRIVES TO IMPROVE HIS GAME THAT MAKES HIM ABOVE THE REST...SAKA WHEN HE ENTERS ON THE FLOR MAKIKITA MO KAAGAD SA KANYANG MATA YUNG DETERMINATION :mtc: ...buhay na buhay na naman ang thread na ito ah!!! :thumbsupsmiley: makasabat na nga po...that's what makes michael jordan great.he makes scoring look so easy that you will think na mababa ang quality ng mga players defending him.gary payton,john starks,bad boys of detroit,don't tell me na bobo sa depensa ang mga ito. another thing i admire about MJ is he always strives to improve his skills.pag pasok nya sa NBA he is known to be more of a slasher/penetrator.pero as the years went by,he developed a mean 20-foot jumper that is so hard to defend against.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Quote Link to comment
edc Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 (edited) Pero kung panunuodin nyo yung 90s basketball eh talagang kulang sa competition eh. Jordan excelled nung wala na yung magagaling at matatanda na. Aasahan mananalo si jordan dahil hindi ganun ka-competitive teams nung 90s. Imagine nyo na lng last championship ni jordan ang magbabantay sa kanya eh bryon russell and hornacek? hindi ba obvious naman yun. Kasi greatest na pinaguusapan dito. Ngayon yung pagigigng greatest ni jordan debate yan. "Arguably" kasi hindi sya nagchampion nung 80s nag grabe competition. Kung nagchampion nung 80s wla ako masasabi. ---------------------------@Revi Yung rebulto kahit sino pde magpagawa nun. Marami NBA players(retired) na may rebulto eh. Ito year lang meron isang player na ginawa ng rebulto. Tapos yung tungkol naman kay Lebron James. Nagrereklamo ka na ayaw tumira ng last shot, Nung isang araw tumira na, pasok. Masyado nyo inaapura si Lebron. 3 or 4 years pa lng sa NBA yan. Tapos yung expectation sa kanya grabe. (Remember pumasok sya sa NBA to contribute Right Away. Wala ng Break-in na nangyari)Kaya sinabi ko special si Lebron James kasi bata pa lang mataas basketball IQ nya. Last Game nya na-double team sya pinasa nya kay FLip Murray. Pero nung hindi na sya nadouble team tinira na nya. Tapos sasabihin baduy? Ang hindi ko maintindihan pag Bwakaw na player lalo na nung early years nila kobe and iverson hindi baduy. Maporma daw yung ganun! Pero si Lebron na sa early years nya narerecognize nya agad teammates nya. Mas mahirap baguhin ang pagiging bwakaw. Kasi iba tingin ko sa Basketball. Iba-iba klase ng panalo. May nanalo sa pagiging bwakaw may nanalo na pinapasa ang bola. Mas natutuwa ako dun sa pasa na ginawa ni Lebron kaysa dun sa Last-Second shot. Mas beauty yung makikita mo yung open man eh. Tapos Triple Double pa ginawa nya nun.(Bihira yan sa isang Shooting guard/Small Forward) Si jordan kasi nung early years hindi nya iniivolve teammates nya. Nainvolve na lng nung si Phil Jackson naging coach. Pero si Lebron hindi naman malupit lineup ng cavs pero iniinvolve nya. Natatakot ba kayo malalagpasan ni Lebron si Jordan? If you are really good your can make your teammates better. If you are only willing to pass the ball. Edited March 24, 2006 by edc Quote Link to comment

revi Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Scoop Jackson: "There won't be another Larry Bird.." The people I quoted are the ones na may kinalaman talaga sa NBA.. Wag mo na isama si Scoop Jackson.. Ok na sana yung kay Wilt.. tapos idinagdag mo pa itong si Jackson.. Sino to? A writer for Slam magazine.. Kamukha lang natin si Scoop.. mga fans na meron sariling take sa mga topics re: basketball.. that's BS.. Going back: I do agree that kanya-kanyang panahon yan.. Bill Russel, Wilt, Kareem, Dr. J, Bird, Magic, Jordan, Shaq, Duncan, Kobe, LBJ (in the future).. At kanya-kanyang fave player din yan.. But c'mon hindi pana-panahon ang globalization.. Jordan would be the greatest because this was his legacy.. globalization.. We are not talking about the most talented player to ever grace the NBA.. Kasi kung talent wise maraming arguments na hindi si Jordan ang the most talented.. But whether it was because of media and marketing.. Jordan still globalized basketball and his legacy will forever live on.. and that makes him the greatest.. Another thing: Hindi tama ang argument na latak ang 90's.. Walang era na latak.. Tama yung poster na nag-sabi na unfair itong statement na ito.. Kesyo 80's daw ang pinaka mahirap na era.. kagaguhan.. Tidyaxx has explained this and it should not be repated all over again.. With regards to LBJ.. I will give him credit.. nag-uumpisa na siyang tumapang dahil may clutch shot na siya.. But LBJ being compared to Jordan.. that's nothing.. Jordan paved the canvass that LBJ is walking upon.. That #23 he is wearing.. Sino kaya idol niya? Hindi ito #33 or #32 ah.. Kaya yung papantayan niya si Jordan or malalampasan.. kahit sobra-sobra ang IQ nitong batang ito hindi niya magagawa na karagahin ang torch ng NBA at ng basketball ng kamukha ng pagkarga ni Jordan.. No one can.. Coz MJ was the first.. and that was not just hype.. that was a (I repeat) legacy.. Don't get me wrong edc.. I like LBJ.. but he does not make me go bananas with his plays except for that game against the Warriors.. Kudos to LBJ on that one.. If I eat my words okay lang.. I may not be a believer of LBJ but that can be changed.. hindi naman ako blind believer or follower eh.. Dapat sa thread na ito palitan ang title eh.. most talented player of all-time dapat.. Then siguro mag-a-agree ako sa ibang mga tao na nag-po-post dito.. Quote Link to comment
