<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (BALLAHOLLIC @ Feb 28 2006, 01:00 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'></div>Ballaholic if you were here right now I'd make out with you... JK.. Seriously though that was awesomeBut I don't see what we are arguing about here. It has actually gotten pathetic. We've got a few guys here saying that Michael Jordan is overrated. Melo even posted two links explaining all types of misconcepsions about Michael Jordan's game, yet still said he was the Greatest ever. Melo also said that Michael Jordan is overrated, beacause people think he is "untouched" as the greatest to ever play? I don't understand. If everyone thinks he is the best ever, including some of you who say he is "overrated" then how is he not "untouched?" How much greater Michael is than everyone else is widely debated, but if everyone thinks he is the greatest ever, then how is he not freaking "untouched?"It seems like we are trying to make Michael seem worse, yet we still argue he is the best ever. Like I said, maybe some facets of his game were overrated, but no one takes a look at that in their overall evaluation of his game. He was the best ever, I think eveyone to post in this thread has agreed, and I don't understand what some of you guys are saying. Yes it is possible to be overrated if you are considered the best ever, but don't argue it if you yourself agree he is the best to ever play the game of basketball.
he's too stubborn to admit it. his only argument is a two game dropoff in '95. how about after he retired in '98 they became an instant lottery team. yea that's how elton brand got in the league. he came to chicago because they were awful. i wonder why..............

i'm a knicks fan and i'm saying mj isn't overrated. you're just putting it out there. you don't know <Censored> about basketball if you think that mj is overrated. i'm sorry but it just makes ABSOLUTELY no sense to say he's "untouchable", "greatest ever" and call him overrated. ask a bulls fan, ask a person with a functional brain. they'll tell you you're crazy.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (BCB @ Feb 28 2006, 01:50 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Stop trying to make a Knick fan think.</div>that was cold man haha.

An Arguement can be made that a lot of players are better, Wilt,BigO,Hakeem,Kareem,and maybe even ShaqAt least to people who compare supporting cast, that can be said, but I think a lot of why MJ is considered God comes from that he won 6 championships while putting amazing stats up.Myself, I consider MJ the greatest player i've ever seen, I wont say he's better then Wilt, because I've never seen Wilt. But Wilt had amazing competition, to those who say he didnt.Nate Thurmond,Artis Gilmore,Bill Russell,Wes Unsold,Kareem Abdul-Jabbar,even Moses Malone and Bill Walton for a time. I dont see how anyone can say he didnt face competition, when he faced argueably the greatest Center Class ever, while Shaq won his rings facing players who were 100 pounds Smaller then him! Players like Vlade Divac and a 35 year old Dikembe Mutombo.
Again, "An argument can be made to say MJ is not the greatest ever... but he is the greatest ever" Another, MJ is overrated because he's not "untouchable", but he's still the greatest ever. And your point is?I really don't get this

I really don't know how to explain it to you. Micahel jordan is the greatest but he's overrated number one because people think he's leap and bounds infront of anyone. Secondly he's overrated because people fail to realise how great of a team the bulls were even without him.Understand?
So everyone is overrated is what your saying. Because people perceive their star players at a high standard.

However what people say About the bulls and how they were nothing without MJ is garbage.
