Let's not forget, this guy once confiscated a tape that showed him getting dunked on by a scrub amateur in a pickup game![]()
If he scores 81 pts in a game he'll get liked. This triple-double has already gone stale. Give the people what they want

The NBA fans today of the soft flopping era don't know what rough is to be honest. When it came to the Bulls and Pistons Jordan and Pippen took straight up beatings from Detroit in the playoffs. Guards and forwards today don't know how good they have it because most of this stuff wasn't even called flagrant back then. When Jordan or Pippen went to the rim they had to prepare to be head-hunted and fouled hard.
Typical hard Rodman foul
Isiah head-hunting while Rodman has a well-placed knee
to the groin and throws a shot for good measure
Rodman forearm shiver to the back of the neck. Play on.
Laimbeer with the elbow smash to Jordan's face. A move
he perfected as if he were going for a shot block lol.
Laimbeer with another elbow smash to Pippen's face
and Rodman follows it up with a shove into the stands.
Aguirre with the forearm to the back and of course Rodman is there
with another well place knee and hip-check for good measure.
Another typical Rodman foul
Ricky Pierce clubs Jordan like a baby seal on the way down for a hard body slam
Hard playoff foul, play on.

Multi game suspensions intotoday's NBA.
Today Jordan wouldn't have gotten that far because he would have flung his arms up around the top of the circle and gone into a shooting motion hoping to draw the foul, and both defenders would have flopped.
It makes me wonder if Jordan would have adapted to this era and tried the rip-thru moves of today. I can't picture him doing it since his main intent was always to score. On the flip side I would have loved to see James Harden in a series against the Bad Boys. His flop attempts would have had serious physical consequences![]()
Everyone does it to score. You can score from the FT line. You also get the other team in trouble in the process.
Those guys weren't in tune with the finesse game, they were just football players with a basketball.
No, he wouldn't be. The spin from his haters would be
"he wouldn't even score 8 points against muh 'tough' '90s defenses!"
or
"he's a stat-padder!"
Jordan Jockers and Kobe stans, who make up the majority of casual fans, will never like LeBron no matter what he does.
DK flopped and benefitted from rigged reffing during his playing days. He also went crying to Stern for rule changes every time he faced adversity. Nowadays, he would put Harden and Isaiah to shame with his flopping.
This.
LeBron is bigger and stronger than DK, he could have been a PF back in the days
I'm pretty sure he would have survived just fine.
Even Laimbeer said his Pistons would have had a tougher time stopping LeBron than Mike
Nice troll post![]()
CN has a point tbh.
Especially during the 2nd 3peat.
But even during the 1st one, holy that game 5 vs NY in 1993, all those BS bail out calls and BS and 1s
