the thread def overstates things and as it turns out was made by a racist sexist guy but it gets points for style for sure

its super dumb, but funny

true, have to say tho the mj era is finally starting to look olde timey

ive been kinda itching to go back and watch some full games.

early MJ fer sure

full disclosure: I often put on old Bulls games from youtube as a lullaby

i watched a bunch of jordan clips a few months ago and they were still dope but there was def that thing where the body language and level of fluidity of the players just looked different than now

Like why do 80s vets STILL look 20 years older than I do when I'm older than they were at the time??

yeah cause everyone has copied MJ! basically invented modern physical vocab of bball

otm his physical grace really stood out which is basically the reason he became the most famous person in the world, that level of charisma communicated even to non sports fans

MJ along with Karl Malone also were the key guys in the swole-ing of the NBA. Before them, you could get away with not being muscular, no matter what position you played. Actually, people believed it would harm your game if you lifted weights too much.

that tweet of lebron side by side w laimbeer lmao

xp that was an interesting part of the KD pod w BS. how he would rather work on his skills/game than his body (it shows)

yeah I respected that tbh

I think I missed out on this story when it happened
