I can't believe that he's using basketball to support his argument. When saying what he's said he fails to realize that MJ is special because he took the game to a new level Kobe and LeBron are reaching that level too and in turn are creating a new standard. Raising the bar. That is special.Originally Posted by LarryIndiana219
So where do you stop extending the frame. If you zoom out far enough, anything can become small. What's the point of pointing this out?Originally Posted by hombrelobo

No, you don't actually. It's not about individual acheivement. You are not special because you are replaceable as a student, worker, citizen, team mate, etc ad infinitum. Michael Jordan was "special". Yet, he wore a jersey number and a logo. what does that really say? THINK! There are 463098579 people right now playing that position on somebody's team this season, be it NBA or biddy ball. The 2 best players in the NBA right now wanted to "be like Mike" growing up. Kids will want to be like them someday. Mike himself was inspired by someone before him. THINK! If MJ is special, so is Kobe or Lebron. So is the kid that will follow in his footsteps and become "special", and so on.........None of them are all that special when you extend the frame and color in the gaps.
OP thinks because those accomplishments are so "small" they don't matter failing to realize that.. rome wasn't built in a day. It's all about progress. He fails to see that. A hardheaded one he is. High off weed thinking he's always right. It's a case of being young and always right. While expanding his mind he's closed his mind to so many other things from what a gather from his posts. Sad.
Somebody takes basketball to a new level once every generation..... you spend so much time trying to categorize me that you failed to note that MJ was not the first to do any of the things he's known for . Bill has more rings. Kareem, more points. THINK!
Didn't they ever teach you in debate class that you argue the rhetoric, not the debator? Tell me something MJ has done that's "special" besides make shoes. Mind you, he's my fav. player too.. I'm just being real. Being better does not make you unique.
No of course he wasn't the first to do any of the things that he's accomplished because they are only so many SET accomplishments that can be achieved in the game of basketball. BUT he was the FIRST to play the game the way he did. Air Jordan. THINK!
Now you are just in denial. Who played above the like Mike? Why is the game played above the rim now? Because of him. You can say the game was onething up 'til the point he entered the league, and it was very different after him.
You can't deny that. But IMO making basketball comparisons in this conversation is trivial. OP you have a long way to go. As does everyone else is this socalled "life".
