When the GOAT wants you to wear his shoes and hugs you on the court in front of everyone, you know its real.

People forget. Kidd was a defensive force and he played against Jordan, Kobe, and Dirk in their prime. He's not playing hypotheticals. He's speaking from direct experience.

Ehh, 95-98 Jordan wasn’t exactly prime Jordan. Maybe ‘95-‘96 Jordan, but even then, true prime Jordan was early ‘90s Jordan, maybe late ‘80s too (their team dynamic came together finally in the early ‘90s, but late ‘80s Jordan was GOAT-swaggin’ his dick off lol) but late ‘90s Jordan was not really Prime Jordan in my eyes, and I was there. He was still great, particularly ‘95-‘96 Jordan, but he wasn’t the same ridiculous athlete anymore in terms of speed and jumping ability. Then again, Luka is slow so maybe Kidd having played against only ‘95-‘98 Jordan (and ‘01-‘03 Wizards Jordan, but we’ll all just keep pretending that shit didn’t happen lol) is better because that’s when Jordan had to use his mental speed/acuity (and toughness) more than his athleticism, which of course is what Luka has to do, so I suppose your underlying point stands but the explicit particular statement that Kidd played against Prime Jordan is a just a little specious in my view for the reasons stated before. Nonetheless, again, your broader underlying/implicit point that Kiddo’s experience plying against Jordan is probably useful to coaching Luka nowadays.

What? Is Luka at fault because of scoring 73. People make these statements "…NBA Legends sent… a MESSAGE", that's ridiculous, Luka isn't claiming anything, it is the media and KZreadrs who are making heightened statements. The only thing Luka has been fighting for is to win games, and to reach the Playoff, if the MVP comes with it, of course he wants it, if any American player would be leading the NBA in scoring percentage, and having almost triple double averages plus being one of the top triple double number of games and most number of games with 40 and 50 points shooters this year, plus a much better defense, having very decent numbers in steals and blocks (and rebounds), being one of the best passers and to assisting players, any American player doing all that would be having so much media attention, positive, bragging about it. But you through shit because he scores 73, it says more about your jealousy, about Luka, it only says good things.

@blaque5582

James Harden did it to, Westbrook averaged close to a triple double 3 or 4 times. That style of play doesn’t get you rings unless you play defense. Nobody is jealous of Luka… I’m a Jordan and Kobe fan so when I look at Luka and shrug it’s because I’ve already seen the pinnacle and it looks nothing like Luka. Thoughs numbers don’t equate to titles because that system is a bail out system. Very little player movement off ball. And I just thought about it… he’ll never have the energy to clamp anybody up because he’s always running every aspect of the offense. Dallas ruined their chances of great point guard play by overly focusing on him. You had Brunson and you have Kyrie… let them play their natural position 50% of the time so Luka can play some defense and his teammates can get into a rhythm to give him some help. Luka is a REAL basketball player who can play basketball in a movement based system because he was taught that in Europe. You haven’t even seen the best version of this guy yet because of the system he plays in currently. The one flaw that this system has is that it requires far too many dribbles (energy) for him to get a bucket. In the playoffs that’s a bad look. Defenses will scheme to let you get 50 and send you to Cancun because nobody else could get in rhythm. Think about it. You seem like you love the games so I need YOU to analyze what’s happening.

It's not like it couldn't have worked for Harden, who is great but not as great as Luka, but it was Harden himself who struggled in big moments in the Playoffs, and that's why his teams lost to amazing GSW teams.

Dirk struggled for years to get a ring for his team and he got a ring that was worth more than any of LeBron James's rings.

But for now, the game is hard to watch when you've lived through Magic and Bird basically saving the league, then watching Jordan elevate the league to even more popularity. There are a ton of great athletes in the game, and I feel as though the spectator is not getting the best version of the game. I would love it if it were possible to put any current team's roster against the Bad Boy Pistons, with the rules in place from Detroit's peak and see how they do. They gave Jordan problems. I can only imagine what they would do to LeFlop...

He's got the talent, but not the attitude. However, that might be changing. We'll see

He's definitely got the right attitude, but sometimes he can get frustrated with bad officiating and lose his focus. However he does seem to be getting better at that too, but it's a work in progress.

He's gotta step-up his defense

7th in Steals. 1st in the NBA in post-defense points allowed per possession. 10th in the NBA in iso-defense points allowed per possession. 0.6 Blocks per game on top of that. On Christmas day, Luka joined Anthony Davis as the only two players in NBA history to have a game where they recorded at least 50 Points, at least 4 Steals, and at least 3 Blocks in a game. And in the same game, Luka became only the 2nd player in NBA history to have a game with 50+ points and 15+ Assists. That's two way dominance.

Modern Day Larry Bird, he said it, that there will be another Larry bird

Fish bait, i came to hear what MJ had to say. I got nada

He may get one if he or his team ever plays defense.

Well the last 6 games they have the top defense and #6. Offense.

34-10-9. Never been done in the history of the game.

It's all pride. Dr. J, Michael Jordan, Wilt C., Luka, and Yokic are all phenomenal ballers who would make fools of all of us on the court. Who is the greatest basketball player of all time? The one who played the game without cheating or getting personal. That's the goat.

Bro I’m hearing more from you than from “The Legends”

LBJ should never be mentioned in the same sentence with Kobe and MJ. He’s not even top 5 of all time.

James is not even top 10 all time if you take all the old vintage players into consideration. He was a great player for sure back in his prime, but Luka is far more advanced skill-wise, he literally does it all. James just has that monster physique and he did lots of impressive dunks, so people want to rank him higher than he really deserves. When's the last time Bron played any D? When's the last time Bron won anything? He should probably just retire already, staying in the league has no upside, he can only tarnish his legacy.

You have overtexted your nonsense! Kobe…shouldn’t be mentioned with them! You cannot discount people’s achievements but MJ was great but realized that his achievements were just a precursor to what is happening! No disrespect dude I just disagree,

10:30 for MJ comments.

Hey save sone I f that for all star gane! Does it matter if he doesn't want a championship!

Top player who are putting Luka with the top players is because they remember what it was like to develop as a player. What MJ said about Luka is playing a game beyond his years. People who didn't live through MJ time don't knows he had a lot to learn and improved every year. The same with Le Bron people talk about how great he was when they forget he was a ball hog and would play hero ball not trusting, the rest of his team. People calling Luka a ball hog are not watching the games. I got frustrated when Luka pass the ball off late in games their was like a lid on the basket. It was not that Luka is hogging the ball it's that his team was not finishing the play. Luka is way a head of the game at this point in his career compared to MJ and le Bron. I can't say anything about Kobe because I stop watching Basketball during his time. I start watching it again early in LeBron's time.

I agree Luka is better than Dirk at the same age. Dirk carried the Mavs throughout most of his career and led them to 2 finals, winning in 2011.

Luka is THE GREATEST OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF ALL TIME!!!!

Michael Jordan has the eternal record of more points in only 15 regular seasons in the NBA and won 6 titles (40%). Jordan is the NBA GOAT with this fact written in stone for decades to come. LeBron and others made more points *in more than 15 regular seasons*. My respect to LeBron James for playing more than 20 seasons and his record for more than 40,000 points in the NBA. LeBron is spending 1,5 million per year in his training and nutrition, but he lost the opportunity to beat Jordan's record in 15 regular seasons. LeBron didn't win 6 titles in even 20 regular seasons (2003-2023). Larry Bird and Magic Johnson chose Michael Jordan as the GOAT, for many reasons and the plays they witnessed. Wilt was tall and athletic but he did not collect 22 NBA awards like Michael Jordan. What would have happened if MJ didn't retire in 1993? More titles... Phil Jackson thinks the GOAT is Michael Jordan. kzread.info/dash/bejne/o6CAscWYqLXIj8Y.html Phil Jackson won 11 rings: . 6 rings with Chicago Bulls & Michael Jordan, and . 5 rings with Lakers & Kobe Bryant. *The NBA GOAT* Ranking for Points Per Game in his career: 1.Michael Jordan 30.12 points 2.Wilt Chamberlain 30.07 points 3.Luka Dončić 28.40 points 4.Joel Embiid 27.85 points The NBA single-game points record is currently held by Wilt Chamberlain who scored 100 points for the Philadelphia Warriors against the New York Knicks in 1962. Bill Russell only has 17 awards, including 11 NBA championship rings. Jordan has 22 awards. Dropping microphone right here (enough facts). MVP 6 times in 6 NBA Finals and won 6 titles in only 15 regular seasons. Jordan has 6 NBA champion rings (6 MVP in those finals), 5 times MVP of the regular season, 3 MVPs of the All Star, 1 time named the best defender of the year, 1 time the rookie of the year and other awards. Jordan was the NBA's leading scorer 10 times from 1986 to 1993...he left the NBA for one year and then got the same award from 1995 to 1998. In the 86-87 season he had the best score with 37.1 points per game. Wilt Chamberlain holds the record for most points scored in a season with 4,029 (1961-62). Wilt Chamberlain was 7 times the top scorer. Michael Jordan is the other player than score at least 3,000 points in 1 season (Chamberlain accomplished that 3 times). The 5 MVP of the regular season of Michael Jordan *is tied with Bill Russell* (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has 6 MVPs of regular season in his Hall of Fame career with the Bucks and Lakers). Dropping the mic right here, again... Jordan made most points, Pipen was a great part of the Chicago Bulls legend and Rodman did most rebounds with full heart.
