It truly amazes me how many uneducated basketball fans we have on NT. I continuously
when I read some of the bull %$%+ that gets posted here on the regular. There is a lot of animosity towards Jordan on this board from the younger generation. Like mentioned, if you're not over the age of 25, you really have no business speaking on 90's basketball and even at the age of 25 you had to be a hardcore fan to encompass what you witnessed. I have noticed the trend of Kobe fans calling Jordan a "douche", like that gives them a one up. The truth of the matter is, who these players are off the court is completely irrelevant.
I was fortunate to witness the 80's era of basketball, so my history goes a litter further back than most members here. I will tell you that anyone saying that these players today are better than the last two decades not only have their head lodged up their $%%, but should never speak on this sport again until they really learn something. The fact is rules had to be changed in this decade because the lack of skilled and fundamentally sound players. Don't get me wrong, there are players that play today that could have easily played in the 80's & 90's. Stern was forced to speed up the game and open up things because after MJ walked away, the sport was a complete bore to the casual fan. A lot of you don't realize how much Stern has dictated how this game is perceived. Before members share their opinion they should really do some homework. I would say most of you like to come off as educated fans, but come to the table with a casual fan IQ at best and that's being polite.

To think other wise is just wrong.
im convinced you didnt start watching ball till after the 90s but bro youre just saying this cause your spurs (along with the Lakers) were dominant in during this era but no bro just no. the rockets and the bulls would regulate on this era of basketball yes that includes your spurs man.

90's ball was much better than todays... it isnt close IMO. but i do blame the refs and NBA for letting it get to this point. I loved watching this years finals bc it was a throwback to 90's ball. the refs finally let them play

MJ is completely delusional...he'd break 80 but getting to 100 is a completely different beast and is a feat that'll never be reached ever again. If he was really that hot and on pace for 100 teams could just triple team him and force his teammates into making shots.

seriously.. take a look at ALL TIME great players who had to wait til either jordan a) semi-retired or b) really retired before getting a ring.. this is off the top of my head:
4 top 10 centers: hakeem, ewing, robinson and shaq
2 top 10 PFs: barkley and malone
1 top 10 SG: drexler
1 top 10 PG: stockton (payton could also go on this list, depending on where you rank him.. I personally put him just outside the top 10)
i say all of that to say this.. if jordan wanted to do something in the sport of basketball, he would.. if dude played today and saw kobe score 81 pts.. i believe he would wait til he played the lakers and KILL HIM pull out the defibrillator.. resuscitate him and KILL HIM again
seriously kobe has gotten punked by reggie miller and chris childs.. jordan stood up to actual thugs

call me delusional but if were talking 00's vs 90's i could see the argument there. aside from shaq and garnett name me one superstar in the nba drafts from 90-95 grant hill was becoming one but the injury ended that. whereas the guys from the 96 draft and up reached their prime in the 2000's plus the 2003 draft factors in too.
alot of the players drafted in the early 90's underacheived and had short careers for whatever reason, but if you were to make a team of the 90's vs a team of the 00's i could see the 00's team beating the 90's team but the 80's team would beat both.
but still regarding 100 points any solid offensive player could have a chance at it if he got hot and made it his focus in the game to get 100, you know if the outcome of the game was decided already that his teammates would try to get him numerous looks and shots. that's how it was in wilts game and in kobes game. that's not taking anything away from either of the two because 100 and 81 are impressive.
