    I wish our Blazers had a championship with an asterisk next to it.

    So are 29 other teams by not signing any of them.

    Nice try.

    Referring to himself as the chosen one, is a little over the top.

    This is one of the worst takes I've ever heard. MJ would have averaged well over 40 ppg in this era of no handchecking, every hard foul getting a flagrant and any contact getting a whistle for the scorer. Just an absolutely clueless opinion. It's far easier to score in today's NBA and Jordan is the most gifted scorer in the history of the game Wilt was more imposing but Jordan was and is the most gifted.

    The inference that Jrue, Giannis and BroLo are somehow harder to score against than the Bad Boy Pistons, the Knicks of that era or just about any team of that era is preposterous. I don't know if Jason Williams just didn't watch basketball back then or if he has a hard time making comparisons but scoring is up in the league and efficiency in scoring is up in the league because the defenses have to play softer and people get easier trips to the stripe. Just shaking my head on this one.

    I don't hate his success. I'm put off by just about everything else about him. He's just too phony.

    Apparently, no one blocked shots in MJ’s era!

    signed,
    Manute Bol
    Mark Eaton
    Shawn Bradley
    David Robinson
    Dikembe Mutombo
    Akeem Olajuwon
    Patrick Ewing

    MJ is the best I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen a lot.

    Same here. LeBron’s overall numbers will make a case but Jordan was a killer.
