revi Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 so do you mean MJ's legacy and greatness is forever carved in stone? What if kung pati ung "impact to the game" na sinasabi ko eh malampasan din ng isang player na mas may charisma at drama? Anyway, I want Jordan to forever relish that stature. If there's anyone i want to become the greatest ever legend, i want it to be him, just him. let the other uprising greats or even wannabes make their own name. Again, maaring malampasan ni DWade, ni LBJ, ni OJ Mayo, or ni Adam Morrison ang "impact to the game" na sinasabi ko.. maaring magkakaroon ng isang player na overwhelming ang charisma at napakadramatic ng mga ginagawa.. But still.. IMHO, hindi matitinag ang legacy at ang iconic stature ni Jordan.. In this regard, I am answering in the affirmative.. It will be forever be carved in stone.. Why? Again because he was the first to successfully revolutionize the game.. and no one can ever take that away from him.. The monicker.. "arguably the best player to ever play the game.." will forever be etched not just in history books but in stone.. Media and fans always want to find out who would be the next Jordan? Kobe, DWade, LBJ.. Most of the most popular players of today are not being monickered as the next Magic, Bird, Wilt or Russel.. They are being labeled as the next Air Apparent.. And that for one makes Jordan's stature even greater and stronger.. Quote Link to comment

shinichi_kudo Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 take away all the hype, take away all the publicity.... mj is still the greatest because he's a winner! Quote Link to comment
top secret Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 MJ is really the greatest... though his record could have been better had he not played for the Wizards Quote Link to comment
gilgrissom Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I am an MJ fan. I bought almost all of the magazines that featured him and his Bulls. I still have all the Collector's Edition of Magazines detailing each of his championship runs with the Bulls. I also added to my collection the Ultimate Jordan DVD and have watched it several times.

sho munaki Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I just don't think that there will ever be another player as great and as dominant as Michael Jordan. His accomplishments with the Chicago Bulls speak for itself, as they were a franchise without any championship tradition (unlike the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers). The great Chicago Bulls championship run throughout the 1990's is even more impressive when you consider that it was Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and a collection of role players throughout most of that stretch. The Bulls were not fortunate to have a dominant center, yet they still won championships using the likes of Bill Cartwright, Will Perdue, Bill Wennington, and Luc Longley at center (granted the NBA had already evolved to the point that it was no longer a game dominated by Hall Of Fame-caliber centers like Mikan, Russell, Chamberlain, Jabbar, etc.). While there have since been pretenders to Jordan (such as Kobe Bryant), hogging the ball from your teammates to score 60-something points on a given night does not ensure leading your team to become a championship squad. Sure, Kobe has won several rings but that is only because he was playing "Robin" to Shaq's "Batman". Kobe will probably never win another NBA championship as long as his large ego demands that he be "the man" on any team that he plays on. Quote Link to comment

Oh have you seen the way Kobe plays lately? It's people like you who keeps comparing Kobe to MJ. Kobe is not going to be MJ, no one will ever be. Kobe is Kobe!!! Quote Link to comment

Kobe will probably never win another NBA championship as long as his large ego demands that he be "the man" on any team that he plays on. I am a Michael Jordan fan.. If you check out my signature, you would see his name there..I have posted in this thread and defended the man they call "Air Jordan.." But the second paragraph I have quoted above made me twitch a little bit.. Okay, I have to say made me raise my eyebrows and say, "Hmmmm..." Whenever I see Kobe plays, his style, his movements remind me of Mr. Jordan.. Kobe fans might say differently but that is how I see Kobe play.. Now, is he a Jordan "wanna-be"? I dunno and I don't think so.. He is Kobe.. He wears a different jersey number, for crying out loud.. Okay, let us say he wants to be like Mike.. Anything wrong with that? MJ is a great example of a good basketball player.. Trying to follow his footsteps ain't bad at all.. Michael Jordan is not perfect much like Kobe --- coz nobody else is.. There is nothing wrong with having pretenders to the throne.. Hell, I don't think LBJ will be a Jordan.. There would forever be only one revolutionary of the game.. the catalyst.. Its Jordan, dude.. Now let us go back to your statement that Shaq was Batman and Kobe was Robin.. Who told you that? Media did not present that LA team that way.. And are you sure that Kobe was Robin.. Hindi kaya Kobe was Batman and Shaq was Robin.. Its like this, Kobe and Shaq, were considered as duos in media's perspective.. They co-owned the Lakers during their championship runs.. Shaq left and Kobe was left with so-so players.. Lamar Odom, IMHO, is not within the caliber of a Scottie Pippen.. Even with the current winning ways of LA, Odom is not the Robin I want to see with Kobe's Batman.. In Chicago, MJ was clearly the Batman and Pippen was the Robin.. Media presented the team as such.. And we, as fans, gobbled it up.. But it was clearly the case coz when Jordan left after Chicago's 3rd championship, Pippen was not able to lead the Bulls with Ron Harper as his side kick.. So who was Batman? Jordan is.. In LA, when Kobe was just a rookie, Shaq was not able to lead the LA team with sidekicks such as Nick Van Exel and Eddie Jones.. When Kobe blossomed that was when Shaq tasted the trophy.. So who was Batman in this case? Shaq or Kobe.. I would say both were Batmen.. Both led.. Its more correct to say that maybe, Superman was Shaq and Batman was Kobe.. Coz both superheroes are considered as the leaders of the JLA.. Comprende? Kobe may not win a championship.. But without DWade, Shaq may not have won his 4th ring.. How is that? Its not a disgrace if one idolizes Jordan.. Kobe, LBJ, Melo? How about "wanna be Jordans" who were failures: Isiah Rider, Harold Miner? Players idolize other players.. TMac idolized Penny.. There is nothing wrong with that.. I think it adds to Jordan's mystique if he is compared to a lot of the young players of today.. Kobe included.. Kobe as a ball-hog? I would have answered you, but this is sounding like a Kobe thread rather than a Jordan thread.. Take your hate in the Kobe thread where boibastos, peeptom, airmax and PBP would gladly answer you back.. Edited January 30, 2007 by revi Quote Link to comment
Eddy Syet Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Michael Jordan He is, simply put, the GREATEST BASKETBALL PLAYER who has ever lived! No one else comes close. And I believe no one ever will. At least not in my lifetime. Quote Link to comment
