lmao, good one. Read any book about the NBA in the 1970s, Moses owned his ass every time they played. You can't be the GOAT if someone completely owns your ass in a one on one matchup.
You said one thing in your thread le and here you are welching. It's a good thing your color is purple, we should start calling you Welch's.

Christ you're ing re ed. Go back to dallasbasketball.com
6 MVPs in the 70s and the most unstoppable basketball shot ever conceived. You're basketball illiterate.
The Moses matchup was a bad one for Jabbar. He was just too tall. Ate him alive.
That's when Moses was at the summit of his game. Get it, "summit"? And the Rockets played at the Summit.
lmao Blessings still asspained because his precious glass doll Bynum got shat on. I've never been to dallasbasketball.com.
Not surprising a dumb like yourself would think studying books about the history of the league would be useless. lmao dumb . Moses owned Kareem so bad, that he never once mentioned him in his book Giant Steps. He just tried to pretend like he didn't existHe probably repressed all of his memories of ever facing him the same way an abused kid represses his memories of being molested

Yeah study those books about the NBA, Holling . Plenty of tape from the late 70s to view.

@ studying the NBA via book.
Your asperger children will probably grow up reading Bill Simmons Book of Basketball.
Whats wrong with reading books about the NBA? I don't get whats so funny.
Reading is overrrated, tbh
God love 'em. Harv, gettin' his adorable on.
He was talking about the 70s so he obviously just blindly believes anything he reads, like a tool.
Moses in his prime beasting a Kareem in his mid-30s during the 80s is a different story altogether. Even then, Kareem still had no problem getting his hook off 99% of the time.
Giuseppe with the goods, per the usual.
Cubby also thought Steve Blake played defense, tbh.
I don't know why I was surprised that laker fan wasn't a fan of reading.
Whether its calculus books, or books on the NBA they just don't seem to be able to grasp booklearning tbh

"Kareem, a six-time MVP, a six-time NBA champion, the all-time leader in points, a 19-time all-star, and possibly the greatest passing big man and one of the greatest interior defenders of all-time, is the greatest player in NBA history"
Apples to oranges but if I am starting a team I would pick Kareem Abdul Jabbar over Jordan any day as it is so much easier find perimeter scoring etc.
To me it impossible to truly assess the greatest ever but no one can every argue that Jordan had a shot as impossible to guard as that of Kareem or was as consistently as great over the years Kareem was. Put the MVPs and les together and Kareem's case is as valid as Jordan's but it is a fun arguement that Jordan now always considered the GOAT when there are a handful of other players who can make a similar case.
Bob May the Boston Columnist said on ESPN that Larry Bird was once asked if Jordan was the greatest basketball player he ever saw and responded curtly: "one of two"
How honestly do you pick between the true legends?
Every book you read about Kareem says he had the same weakness; he couldn't deal real well with physical play, and Moses was about as physical as they come. Its well known that Moses owned his ass. I'm not sure what "tapes" Blessings watched but its common knowledge.
If they ever got slapped in a one on one matchup regularly versus a certain player, they aren't the greatest ever. Thats a good place to start.
You're a parrot that has apparently never seen either play.
Jordan was slapped so bad by a young Kobe he refused to guard him the rest of the game to avoid further embarrassment. Let's apply that to your NBA 'book-learned' logic.
The basketball analysis of a random fan who thinks Andrew Bynum is a dominant center versus David Halberstam, Roland Lazenby, and Pete NewellWho all say Kareem was soft and needed to play next to an enforcer like Kermit Washington or else he would get bullied.
Poor Kareem![]()
He gets picked on.

Please stop picking on me, mean centers.![]()

So you're avoiding the fact that young Kobe slapped Jordan on a number of occasions which destroys your entire 'book-learned' platform.
But you read about how the most skilled big man ever wasn't physical enough in a finesse based game. Cool story, bro.
Kobe only torched Jordan when Jordan was 40 and on the ing Wizards. Different story.
An 18 year old Kobe dropped 30+ on pinnacle MJ, which would be the equivalent of Moses having a big game while Kareem still got his (which he did).
Not really.
It wasn't a finesse based game when Moses was playing it. Not when Shaq was carrying Kobe to a three-peat either.
I can't believe your bringing up one game, when Jordan bested Kobe one on one regularly in his second threepeat days. Schooled him for the whole world to see in the All-Star game as well.
lol Blessings deflecting from the fact that Moses beat up Kareem and took his lunch money on a regular basis.
Yes it was. Hard fouls and contact happened but basketball has always been finesse based. You'd know that if you actually watched the game instead of reading about it
Young Kobe was scoring on Jordan with ease that game when they were matched-up. lol bringing up an All-Star game while ignoring a regular season game where one of the youngest players ever ted on Michael Jordan during his three-peat.
lol never watching either play and acting like you know what you're talking about.
Can anyone possibly imagine Jordan saying:
"I really would have loved to compete against Tim Duncan. Driving to the basket with that bug eyed, no vertical having, average-at-best-shot-blocker in my way would be the ultimate test."
