[durantbird]

Yup

Since when is MJ the GOAT?

Yup

Since when is MJ the GOAT?

Always has been.

[Snakebites]

Michael Jordan is the second best player of all time but given the years available is the best player in this game.

With that I can agree

[Larry_Russell]

I am not going to get into a debate. But Jordan is the GOAT.

6-0 Finals runs. Went 3 peat TWICE, only broken up due to retiring.

10X scoring champ while being one of the leagues TOP defensive players with 9X all Defense 1st accolades.

5X MVP run broken up by retiring the first time and he was robbed of some MVP awards - Notable losing in 89 (averaged 32.5ppg, 8rpg, 8apg, 3spg) 90 (Jordan 33.5ppg, 7rpg, 6.3apg and led an undertalented Bulls to 55 wins) 93 (32.5ppg, 6.7rpg, 5.5apg) and 97 (29.6ppg, 6rpg, 4.3apg)

only 1 NBA player has ever won MVP, FMVP, 1 team All NBA, 1st team all Defense, Scoring title and NBA champion.
and Jordan did it 4 times.

Jordan never team jumped, never built "super teams"

Lebron has longevity coupled with great skill. That has inflated many things for him. Lebron is a clear step below and I would willingly argue that if Magic or Bird has Lebrons longevity they would be looked at as far superior. Hell give Lebron only 15 seasons he would have less PPG, less titles, less MVP, Less all defense, less titles, Less fmvp, Less scoring champ, less points.


Even Chat GPT weighted it like this.

1. Championships and Winning - Jordan
2. Stats and Longevity - Lebron
3. Peak Dominace - Jordan
4. Skillset and Versatility - Lebron
5. Impact on the game - Jordan
6, Intangibles - Jordan

GOAT is Jordan

Oh lord, y'all bringing this to the draft board as well?

Lebron has longevity. Thats it.

GOAT is Jordan

I’m not going to get into the debate, but I’m going to lay out my full argument.

Only you, LR.

[durantbird]

I was kidding

[Snakebites]

I had Magic/EJ first. Love that fit.

[Snakebites]

Gonna be a tough decision at 6.

[GeorgeMarcus]

Is there a rule about not drafting 2 1st teamers at once or anything like that?

Nvm answered my own question

Yes.

Each pair may contain at most one player who ever made All-NBA first.

Nvm answered my own question

Reggie Miller was already drafted

Damn I didn't see Dr P's post. Am I obligated to keep the other person in my duo? I erased both and put "pending" because, if allowed, I would probably switch both. All good if not.

You can draft a totally new pair.

A non eligible pick also means none of the guys you picked are "secured"

[GeorgeMarcus]

All set, sorry for the delay

If nothing else, my "spacing" box is pretty much checked

[lilroddyb]

seems like a fun draft

Really late but If you guys need an extra drafter I would like to join

We can definitely use another drafter. You were randomized to draft after MadNess. I hope everyone is ok with that
