| "The New Boyz bring home the Gold!" |
It’s just like people trying to say that Carl Lewis is better than Usain Bolt! Science and technology has allowed athletes to become much more skilled, far more athletic and much faster than they were 20 years ago bruh. I know that you want to live in the past but accept it for what it is. They showed a graphic the other night during the Olympics comparing sprinters Carl Lewis and Jessie Owens to Bolt. Lewis would have gotten beat by like 10 meters and Owens would have gotten beat by 17! It’s crazy to think that the old timers are better than these boyz now!
People want to bring up the good old days but the best days are right now. It’s the same thing in every aspect of life. Think about everything that you use on a daily basis. What did computers, cell phones, TV’s etc look like 20 years ago. How does the functionality of those products compare now to back then? Nobody is using 8 tracks, records, cassettes or even CD’s now day’s bruh. Everything is being downloaded instantly. You don’t even need a pager or a computer to get messages or information because your cell phone does it all. Look how much more efficient and comfortable cars are now compared to 20 years ago. Half of you cats are watching sports on 3D TV's now bruh on an eighty inch flat screen!
So why if everything else has gotten better with science and technology why wouldn’t our athletes and their competition have gotten better? Some of these clown sports writers keep going back to the argument that the Dream Team never played anyone close during their run to the Gold Medal. That is a FACT homeboy! However, the FACT is that they didn’t play against anyone in route to that Gold Medal like I explained in “ThoroughBred$.” The only team they played with an NBA player was Croatia and Tony Kukoc had just been drafted and hadn’t ever put on a Bulls uniform! He didn’t suit up for the Bulls until 1993.
These New Boyz played multiple teams with NBA players on their rosters during the 2012 Olympics, Spain had 5(including Paul Gasol 2 time NBA champion, Serge Ibaka 2012 NBA Finals), Brazil had 4, France had 6(including Tony Parker 3 time NBA Champion, Ronny Turiaf an NBA Champion) and Argentina had 4(including Manu Ginobili a 3 time NBA Champion). All of these guys playing for the other countries were 1st round draft picks too.
They played Argentina 3 times in a span of 20 days bruh! I’m sorry if they didn’t look as dominant as the Dream Team but they played against real basketball players bruh! The Dream Team went on the road like the Harlem Globetrotters playing against the Washington Generals every night. I know y’all can see the difference between the two but you just don‘t want to!
You know I can’t leave without bringing up the LeBron vs. Jordan comparison because so many of you slept on the Hottest Joint Ever Written "Bamboozled!" With the win over Spain 107-100 LeBron has now become the only player in the history of the game other than Jordan to win the NBA title, regular-season MVP, NBA Finals MVP and Olympic gold in the same year. The only difference is that LeBron has done it at 27, two years ahead of Jordan who was 29 (1992) when he accomplished that feat. So once again here is further proof of my argument that LeBron at 27 is better than Jordan was at 27 because he‘s doing things that MJ never did until he was much older! Stop looking for LeBron at 27 to be better than Jordan was at the end of his career. Because when King James’ career is over he’ll be sitting on top of the throne as the G.O.A.T and not Michael Jordan bruh! Then some kid will eventually overthrow LeBron just like Usain Bolt did Carl Lewis and Jordan did the Big O or Bill Russell!
Holla At Ya Boy!

That passes the Logic test Jay...I am with you. I think though that you have to be way better than the "Sitting King" to get knocked off the throne... The public loved the Dream Team...and that makes it even harder..My Take. Great Read Jay!
