Jordan comparisons never seem to end well.
They don’t…..need to just let guys create they own legacy or aim lower. Call someone the best Allan Houston or some shit lol.
Funny thing?

The man who took that burden since high school, that they swear will never be better than Jordan, is the only one even in the conversation for DECADES.

I actually thought you meant the guy who got the best of Mike beginning with his “final” all-star game in the Bulls era and was doing what Ant is doing in a championship run at 22 during peak “next MJ” dialogue.

But I realized that wasn’t the case with the reference to “the conversation”… All that gets skipped over to talk about someone who played more like Magic…

Like Shaq, I can only smh at the blasphemy.

minnesota just not ready yet. they get to clutch time and don't know what they want to do. you knew what was coming with mj ,kobe, dirk and the same can be said with luka and kyrie. they get to their space and their shot. they know who they are. ant will get there. you can tell he processing plays out there but they are seconds off and its costing them possesions. and everyone but naz reid shooting a 3 is a win for dallas. too late but minnesota ...kat especially...should have been pounding the ball on the inside. gotta make luka and kyrie work.

This bullshit Stephen A pushes about previewing all criticism in private first needs to be called out. Doesn’t this man claim to be a journalist? This backroom expectation is a pretext to avoid public accountability.

Luka is white, he can't be a Bron disciple. And we don't need to be loud about him looking up to him. Luka should be compared to Larry Bird instead and his Bron quotes never mentioned. :yawn:

Bron passed Jordan about 6 years ago. He doesn't even mention him anymore and has a bigger basketball legacy and a lot more wealth off the court. Ant will be the last NBA player who feels he needs Michael Jordan's validation. That ship has sailed and with Inside The NBA bowing out, Michael Jordan will rarely be mentioned going forward. He's not needed anymore now that Bron is the consensus GOAT.

Anthony Edwards being "the closest thing to MJ" was a marketing scheme to get Black people to watch the playoffs this year. Anthony Edwards lost in the playoffs last year to LeBron James, the media wouldn't seriously annoint a player as the next Jordan who has. They used his buzz in the earlier rounds to try to draw in old viewers still on MJs nuts and Black folks. Soon as he loses the comparison goes away. :lol:

Journalist use unnamed sources all the time

and all he was saying is that Isiah has his number and he could have called or text him to discuss it.

and Jaylen comes off like Kyrie :dunno: He does shit like wear Nike's but cover up the swoosh as some sort of protest only he knows.
