It was laughable. Now it's just tragic.
Would you take Bird or Mike Miller?

Jordan was at his peak in the 90's, it took years for him to mature physically. That's the problem when comparing new to old generation, people like to post clips of heavily experienced vets having success against inexperienced players.so you want to pull the whole he played in the 80's card right? Yet you have magic,Kareem, and Jordan on the list. All players in the same era as bird that bird was pretty successful against
If a rookie Iverson was ripping Jordan's bulls a new asshole, imagine what a prime Iverson would've done. Just take Leonard's development for example, he's finally on a level playing field with guys like Bron, Durant, Melo after years of physical development and his game maturing, even players like Gay used to give him a ton of trouble.
I just think you're really stepping out of bounds with the "overrated" part.
If somebody had a player (doesn't matter who) ranked in their top 10.....but the majority of people think of him as a top 30-40 player. Then that deserves the overrated discussion.
But, when you say he's not in my top 10, but he's in my top 15....that's not really being overrated. That's just a slight difference....and certainly not worthy of the overrated label.
Mike in his younger days was an athletic player tbh. Bird is probably a fringe D league player in todays game..still like I said he is top 15 for influence reasons and he did help revive basketball alongside MCW lite magic johnson
Mike Miller high-fives LeBron, so, Miller. Duh!
Larry Legend is a fringe D-League player
I'm done........
I'm going to laugh 20 years down the line when there is some kid telling apa that kawhi would be a d league player in today's game. Apa would be getting purple in the face arguing with the kid. Would be a fun site to see.
Bird or Bryce Drew?
Did you see where Jordan is fringe top-50 all time and Magic is like 3000th?
I'm done........
People cant seem to realize the massive difference in skill level between today players and in the 80s...Kareem is pretty much pee wee level baksetball compred to todays athletes
Wrong question.
Bird or Bryce Alford?!
Would you throw it to DeAndre or Kareem on the block?
My hate has officially shifted to love.
There. I've said it out loud.
I love this thread.
In 2070 kawhi would probably be a 15th man DNP kinda player tbh. Curry is revoultinizing the offense right now. Pretty soon a curry like player would be the norm
Your coming at this all wrong, the real question is Kareem or Kwame Brown
Fingers crossed he picks DeAndre!!!
7 footers 40 years from now would be like Draymond but taller and more athletic..ridiculous tbh. Draymond is another guy that is revolutionizing the game.
Still haven't heard any counter arguments. Nostalgia is a funny thing.
Beautiful. Quoted for posterity.
Not sure why its so hard for old people and nostalgia fans.to accept that todays players are just more skilled and more athletic. It happens bro. The game evolves.
Pretty much...its so sad how people deny the obvious difference in skill level between todays players and the past..Can you imagine Gerald Green doing his dunks in the 80's
Pretty much, you're going to get some ridiculous athletes from all over the world such as a guy like Porzingis. 7'3 20 year old that shoots like a guard and can play defense.
So many people say go Granite. But nothing is as versatile as Quartz or as nuanced as Soapstone.
His popularity probably would've been on par with Jordan, probably would've seen him on a wheaties box or some , they would've been in awe of his athleticism.Pretty much...its so sad how people deny the obvious difference in skill level between todays players and the past..Can you imagine Gerald Green doing his dunks in the 80's
