Holy ****. I just looked at the Eatern standings. The Bulls aren't going to make the playoffs? LULZ. Good job waving buh-bye to Thibs, Chitown.

How many rings would you say he needs?

He's too tainted. He lost with the Cavs twice and the Heat twice and has bad press after bad press. Jordan wasn't only great because he was great. He was the best because he was a perfect 6-0 in the NBA Finals and a near flawless image for the league.

Jordan was not flawless, not even close.

Which belied the fact that he was and is a toxic piece of crap

Chicago choking so hard is kinda baffling when you consider that Rose has improved over the year. I think they've lost their "edge", bringing less effort, resulting in a lot of shaqtin-a-Harden moments defensively together with Gasol being in charge of trying to limit opposing starters from scoring at the rim at age 30-something wasn't working.
Shooters being injured(Dunleavy)/inconsistent(Mirotic+McDermott+Snell)/out of shape(Brooks) didn't help establishing an offense that can outscore opponents on a daily basis(based off my observation that inside defense is shaky - I guess Noah + Gibson's bodies collapsing after Thibs years and Butler focusing more on offense and his body showing first signs of fatigue didn't help either)

In their era it was way easier to contain the damage Jordan's private life and personality could've caused.

Yep. This is the big difference. Today even when nothing of substance really happens things can still blow up on social media. Even when a story is positive it can still be guaranteed that large numbers of people will weigh in with negative reactions.

Put a guy like LBJ who has had strangers salivating over him and trying to get his attention all his life into this mix and it's practically guaranteed that things are going to explode from time to time. Jordan would have had similar problems.

Dumbasses. That roster is very talented and deep. They should be in the playoffs with homecourt imo

I disagree. Jordan's legend as a baller is very close to flawless when compared to other greats.

Porzingis is the 1st rookie to score at least 1,000 points, grab 500 rebounds, make 75 3-pointers and block 100 shots.

Who do you think his game reminds of? Or maybe what kind of combination?
