RE: SteemSports based on TRUE facts. My writer's perspective.
I haven't watched a lot of basketball this year (because I'm a Chicago Bulls fan). I was a season ticket holder for 6 years prior to this year when I finally gave them up. I also had season tickets in the early 90s when they were simply awful. Anyway, this the second day in a row where I saw the basketball post and it reminded me to check out the game. I flipped on OKC vs Houston just in time to see an awesome 4th quarter. Today I have caught a bit of the Knicks vs Bucks game. Porziņģis and Antetokounmpo are two of the most fun young players to watch. I don't know how much of Rose you saw 5 or 6 years ago... but he was amazing. He played like a tazmanian devil. So much speed and effort. But man was it fun to watch. There is no way his body will allow him to play that way any more. I am glad I got to see him play when he could still do it. He was just so fast in person. It's sad that now people need to point out that he actually dunked. He used throw it down two or three times a game. Thanks for reminding me that there are other teams worth watching ;)
You might be a little spoiled by Jordan's Bulls, because this year's team is doing pretty awesome, taking into account of what was expected from them during the off-season. They might even make it to the play-offs... and they just beat Cavaliers, so not everything is so bad. But I bet that you would want them to be contenders again... maybe one day, because Butler is a really talented young man, who just needs some good role players around him.
Yeah, it was a really nice 4th quarter between OKC and Houston. I did not believe that OKC could find themselves back into the game, but when you have Westbrook, impossible is nothing.
I think that Antetokounmpo is my favorite player to watch at the moment. Cannot wait to see him in few years. Greece national team will be great in this Eurobasket.
Yeah, I saw how Rose played 5-6 years ago. Youngest MVP ever... Such a shame that he had to spend more time in a suit and tie during those stupid injuries. Rose could really be a legend and now he is like a 40-year-old man, who is proud to still be able to dunk. However, he is still relatively young, maybe there is a chance.
Thanks for a nice comment, @hanshotfirst I am glad that I inspired to watch you some games. There are really some great teams this year.
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!
