The only person that comes close to sniffing Jordan's win at all cost attitude is Kobe. I've never been a fan of the Lakers nor will ever be. But real recognize real, Mamba mentality is it. Lebron is a great player but IMO lacks the killer instinct to go for the juggular.

Lol this type of hyperbole always got me. People conflate Jordan's will to win with being an *******. As if a guy like Giannis doesn't have an iron will to win because he's a decent human off the court.thepartygoat said:

No, i dont think so.
I don't have any of my posters anymore, but I do have an Air Jordan flight suit from 1991 that's still in pretty good shape. Black with red piping. It's baller. Hanging in one of my spare closets right now. May have to put it on Sunday night.
I'm not a huge sneaker head, but I certainly have an appreciation for Jordan's. In my opinion he's got the two best of all time:

I loved Jordan's, but my #1 goes to Deion. The 90s had the best shoes.
The 3s are the GOAT for sure.
FANTASTIC episode 1. Can't wait to watch the rest.
Impossible not to get chills from this intro music.

I own these and absolutely love em:
Wish I still had my original Jordan 1's. Or even the 2nd pair I had when they re-released them in the 90's I think it was.
I miss this theme.
Growing up, I was allowed one pair of basketball shoes per year. I had your standard, non-too-expensive-Nikes in the late '80s/early '90s, but finally, when I was 10 or so (around '91), I remember being in my dad's truck, headed to the mall to pick out whatever basketball shoe for the next year. I desperately wanted a pair of Jordans, and knew my dad would get pissed just for asking, but I thought screw it and asked anyway. Sure enough, he indeed got pissed, said there was no way in hell was paying over $100 for a pair of kid's basketball shoes, and that was that.
However, once we got to Foot Locker, I came across a pair of Jordans 6s in a colorway I had never seen before... maroon and white. Even then, A&M was huge in our family, as both my dad and my mom went/met there, so I took the shoe off the shelf and showed him because "they were Aggie colors"... and he thought they were the coolest thing he'd ever seen. To the point where he actually suggested I try them on. I couldn't believe it, and once those things were on my feet, there was no way they were coming off. So my dad begrudgingly bought them, basically cursing himself as he did, but couldn't help but keep admitting how cool they were. Little did he know, he set a precedent, so I was able to wrangle a pair of Jordans out of him every year through high school.
I still have this pair, along with all my others, in a storage closet back home...

Love those. Hadn't see that colorway.
Not a huge fan of the 6's in general but those are awesome!
Jordan Vs are easily the best in my mind.

Nike re-releasing these the minute episode 1 started is why they run the sales/marketing game.JCA1 said:

I love the "Fresh Prince" re-release they did about a year ago:

So pumped to hear Rodman's episode. This guy could have a 10 part series dedicated just to his life.

Well he already has his own 30 for 30.
So, how would Jordan's career have looked if the Rockets drafted him?
And how many ships would they have?

Wasn't there some kind of deal that almost happened where the Rockets got both Hakeem and Jordan? I can't remember if that was true or some urban legend.
I've lived in Houston my entire life and don't know a single person with that opinion.AgShaun00 said:every rocket fan still thinks hakeem is better than jordanBrian Earl Spilner said:

That's about as ridiculous as thinking David Robinson could carry Hakeem's jock.

Think the story is the Blazers wanted to trade Drexler and the 2nd pick for Ralph Sampson which would in theory become Jordan... so Hakeem, Jordan and Drexler.
No idea if it is actually true or just a legend.
Supposedly Portland offered their #2 pick plus Drexler for Ralph Sampson. So the rumors go that Houston could have had Hakeem, Jordan, and Drexler.Bruce Almighty said:Brian Earl Spilner said:

No Rockets fan thinks Hakeem is better than Jordan.
I'm a Rockets fans and the only thing that gets me all triggered is the asterisks thing and assumption the Bulls would have won 5 straight if Jordan hadn't retired.
not 5 straight, 8.ATM9000 said:MuckRaker96 said:I've lived in Houston my entire life and don't know a single person with that opinion.AgShaun00 said:every rocket fan still thinks hakeem is better than jordanBrian Earl Spilner said:

I said the hakeem better than jordan as a joke, but i do know a few say it. I get most don't. But they are the ones who get triggered by the " * " thing also. Easy jabbing.
