RE: SteemSports based on TRUE facts. My writer's perspective.
I am old enough to truly appreciate the Jordan years. It was a wild time here. But he was a once in a lifetime player. I can't expect that ever again. I do like your positive attitude though. Who knows maybe Rose will get a little lift on his outside shot and he can reinvent himself.
I can only imagine how cool it would be to have Jordan on the court right now. But we never know when someone like him will walk in again. LeBron is pretty close to Jordan, IMO. Especially after the last year.
I honestly think LeBron is the most physically gifted player I have ever seen. But Jordan was a flat out killer. His hatred of losing (it was actually a mania) pushed him to be the greatest I have seen (I never saw Wilt Chamberlain or Oscar Robertson, etc.)
Yup, Jordan had perfect mindset to be the greatest. It is always hard to compare players from different times. I would love to see what Jordan could do in this kind of NBA, where physical power and fast tempo is the biggest value.
I am not even talking about Chamberlain and Robertson. The game was completely different back then. But from what I read Chamberlain was the most dominating player ever to brace the basketball.
I watched the Jordan era as well. Lebron is probably more "trained" than him (better trainers and nutrition) - But Jordan is Jordan.. I remember high school gym class - everyone would stick their tongue out while they played!
