Apa is like 24, 25, so he was born in like 92, 91...
LOL, did you even see him play at the time? He revolutionized basketball like few players ever have.

That proves you didn't watch him or at least see his peak. Where do you think all of these ball hogging chuckers from the last decade come from, watching Larry Bird? Did people wait in line for and rob each other over Magic Johnson shoes?
ah ok I misunderstood my badThat proves you didn't watch him or at least see his peak. Where do you think all of these ball hogging chuckers from the last decade come from, watching Larry Bird? Did people wait in line for and rob each other over Magic Johnson shoes?
You're the one who actually doesn't understand the kind of progress that the NBA (and sports overall) has undergone.
As I've proven numerous times, human athleticism is basically maxed out. The biggest "progressions" we're seeing in sports are occurring with regard to more effective and efficient skill training techniques and big data analytics, which help coaches and players better maximize their strengths and work on their weaknesses. Jordan doesn't have any kind of physical, athletic, nor mental weakness that would intrinsically prevent him from being the best player in the league (him and LBJ would be neck and neck).
Kawhi is a top 5 player and is someone who actually has a variety of athletic weaknesses. A poor 32" vertical, poor hang time, weak first step explosiveness, average lateral quickness. Jordan, who is about the same size as Leonard, completely outclasses Kawhi in pretty much every athletic attribute you can name while possessing the greatest work ethic in NBA history. Jordan would adapt to any new challenges the modern NBA would present. When this conversation comes up, I always like to use Duncan as an example, who adapted to 3 different NBA eras pretty seamlessly. , he was arguably the best big man defender in the league last season and he basically has no knees.
I don't see Jordan having any problem with modern wings. Kawhi doesn't. And like I said, Jordan is Kawhi but with world class athleticism.

Nick Young got sonned on Social Media & everyone has turned their backs this season since he's producing on the court. Gaymond does whatever he wants & gets praised b/c he helps his team win.
Wouldn't be any different for Kemp, Iverson, Barkley, Jordan...winning cures all.
Dumb people will find dumb ways to get caught up, has been like thousands of years before AOL.
