The biggest problem with all these debates is that almost nobody has watched a lot of minutes of playtime of the people they are debating.

Most people have not watched players from other teams even a fraction of what they see from the Lakers. A Laker fan might watch all 82 games, and zero games from other teams. And what they know comes from highlights.

Next, you can see a lot of things on youtube. But prior to 2005, there isn't really all that much content. A lot of people who debate have not seen a lot of full games of MJ, Kobe, Shaq, Hakeem, Bird, Magic, Kareem. Even hardcore Laker fans now have not seen almost anything from before 1987-88.

There is almost no good footage from before the 80s of the NBA. Unless you are rather old, you have not seen West, Russell, Wilt, Elgin, etc., and you have no idea about their style and skills and the environment they were playing in.

Yet people argue adamantly about their position. This is why I accuse those of just trying to win arguments. You can tell those that have watched.


You can also tell those who don’t understand what they are watching, or that their argument is exactly what they are accusing others of...

what is your problem


You, back to your old tricks of long disjointed senseless rants calling out every argument but your own. There’s a reason it ended before. How about you dial it back.
