Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 2211321, member: 488"] Unless I am thinking of a different Michael Jeffery Jordan he was born in February of 1963 and therefore 22 in the spring of 1985. As for your other points, you're mostly putting words in my mouth. I never called the '13 or '14 Spurs a super team, but I also don't subscribe to your method of determining quality by counting the amount of sexy names on the roster (and I know that's over-simplifying your position, but still). I also never implied anything about Jordan's performances against Detroit other than that they were below his standards. My larger point was that the overall trajectories of their careers is a bit distorted because Jordan played three years in college to LeBron's zero. One thing I will address is the idea that Tim Duncan wasn't a top 10 or even top 15 player in 2013 and 2014. He absolutely was and your downplaying of his impact while you puff up a back nine Wade is bizarre. Whatever infatuation I have with Danny Green is only because he shot out his ass in twelve finals games against Miami. Incidentally, I also struggle to reconcile the prevailing belief that LeBron wouldn't have adapted to the more physical era as well as Jordan. Why would somebody bigger and stronger than Jordan not have thrived? If the logic is that Jordan's skills were his best attribute while LeBron's athleticism is his, then wouldn't an increase in contact amplify the advantages of being a freak of nature? I think one of the great untold stories of LeBron's career is what his post game could have become in a different era. The power post game cannot exist in today's NBA like it did when Shaq was at the height of his power and LeBron is one of the biggest victims of that. [/QUOTE]
