I'm a huge Jordan fan, but I don't see this thread as disrespectful. It's all in good fun.

I mean, look at how often TNT makes fun of Charles Barkley, yet no one accuses TNT of disrespecting Charles Barkley. Obviously as the GOAT Jordan was still a hell of a lot better than Barkley, but life is too short to not have a sense of humor.

Thats part of the argument that the Jordan era was toxic to basketball for years. People idolized him so much (and some still do) that they treat them like superheros and not real human beings. The current NBA has pulled away from that, and now has arguably the most relatable players in the league because of the fun they have. Thats why I hope the Warriors win 73 games and the title, so people can finally exhale from the 90s era and move on/give the era proper context.

Doesn't take away that he's the GOAT. He'd rape (basketball speaking) anyone in the league today easily.

Someone should make one of out of this. I wanted to have Bird and Magic sitting there with one of them pushing Jordan out of the way, but I can't make them. :D

Even if their was a person or actual company he could sue, he still wouldn't win. Satire is totally legal and i don't even think the Supreme Court would waste their time to even hear an appeal by MJ.


From my understanding, US ownership rights of trademark favour the 'public figures' and the corporation (ie NFL and the Superb0wl trademark)

Can you trademark a picture of yourself that you didn't take? Don't think so

Curry tho? He'd kill him on offense, but Curry would definitely outscore him.

So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

Curry would be shut down by MJ. If I was to take anyone to guard him it might as well be MJ.

Curry as it stands has a bandwagon following but until he does what he is currently doing for the next decade he'll be remembered as a superstar who had a few superstar seasons and faded. Derrick Rose anyone?

He is incredible don't get me wrong, but that doesn't mean **** unless he has the durability to earn his place amongst the all time greats (who ALL did it at a high level for a long period of time).

rose had some freak injuries, which stopped him down. If it weren't for the injuries he'd still be one the leagues top pgs

Exactly. Curry still has ten years worth of work ahead of him before he is defined as the 'best shooter in history'. Best pure shooter? Best single season from distance? On track and well deserved. But in 30 years time his name has to be there on the lists that matter. 73 wins will help his cause too.. because people will still be talking about the team he led until someone gets 74.
