| This entire chart is suspect bruh and I'll prove it with facts not opinion! |
Vladimir Lenin said, “A lie told often enough becomes the truth.” Then Stephen King got up and said, “Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty.” The German philosohpor, Immanuel Kant, shouted, “By a lie, a man…annihilates his dignity as a man!” Big Momma just sat there and said, “If you a lie you a cheat, if you a cheat you a steal!” Then they all poured out a lil' liquor for the brothers that ain’t here and went to the crib.
I’m always blown away by how boyz will go to extreme lengths to make Jordan appear to be better than he actually was. Now don’t get it twisted, Mike is still the G.O.A.T. because of his CAREER accomplishments and they SHOULD be able to stand alone without duns making things up.
However, don’t think for one minute that this young boy ain’t gonna knock him off of the that throne when it’s all said and done. The chart above is being emailed, Tweeted and Facebook-ed to death and it’s full of lies! I know that some cat loyal to the Jordan Brand must have put it together because it looks like the work of a delusional Michael Jordan fan!
Let’s break this joint down like a G! Just from a quick eye ball test I knew it was bogus because under LeBron’s name it said “Stats not yet done” however they’ve included stats for both Mike and Kobe for the end of the season and playoffs at age 28! You can’t include their playoff stats for that time period because LeBron is just now playing his age 28 playoffs now.
So if were gonna say "stats not yet done" you’ve got to take all of the stats that both Mike and Kobe have in those playoffs off of the joint and only include 2 games worth to be fair! Stop me when I start lyin’ playboy! For that reason alone the entire chart is suspect going forward but for the sake of argument I'll continue.
You gotta take off a ring for both MJ and the Black Mamba because the playoffs are still ongoing. So therefore, Mike has zero rings and Kobe only has 2 at this point in the playoffs at age 28 whereas LeBron still has one because he won that joint at 27! That’s just from the quick eye ball test across the joint. Also take the Finals MVP for Jordan off too because that goes with the ring bruh! Then keep in mind that Kobe was the 2nd option on both of those rings listed because Shaq led the Lakers to those titles not Kobe! If we gone keep it real then let's keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st playboy!
Now let’s analyze the bogus numbers that boyz put up for Jordan alone. It says that MJ played 589 regular season games by age 28. By that time he’d only been in the league for 7 years pimipin’! Everybody and their momma knows that they play 82 regular season games. So therefore, he played 574 games not 589! That’s using simple math playa. Then it says that he scored 19,000 points. Jordan averaged 30.1 ppg throughout his career. So let’s give him the benefit of the doubt and say that’s what he was averaging up to that point. Simple math, not crack head math, gives you 17,277 points not 19,000 points.
The complete mind blower here is that it has Mike playing in 92 playoff games up to this point. Now unless they’re including all of his high school and college joints they’re doing crack head math again. During Mike’s first 3 years he got bounced in the 1st round of the playoffs and back then they only played a best of 5 and he got swept in two of 'em bruh. He went 1-3, 0-3, 0-3 out the gate! That’s only a total of 10 playoff games during his first 3 years in the league!
So how could he have played 82 more playoff games in the next 4 years if he never made it to the Finals until he was 28? He actually only played 53 playoff games up to age 28 because again the playoff numbers for him at 28 don’t exist yet because it’s just now April and we’re only 2 games into the playoffs of LeBron’s season at age 28! So Jordan actually has 55 playoff games if we’re at game 2 now. Stop me when I start lyin’ playboy! If I’m moving too fast for you, you’re just plain stupid! In my Jay-Z voice, "I got 99 problems but counting ain't one!" If I can't do nothing I can count playa!
Now let’s break down these playoff points just like we did with the regular season foolishness. If we have agreed that Mike has only played 55 playoff games at his career average of 30.1 ppg using simple math not crack head math. Then he only scored 1,655 points not 3,184 points that these duns want you to believe on this chart.
None of this is my opinion bruh! It’s all fact. Let me be clear again to all of you cats reading this joint wearing a pair of Jordan’s, a Jump Man 23 warm up, Haynes underwear and watching Space Jam with a pair of Jordan goggles on. My favorite player of ALL-TIME is Kevin Garnett because of his intense work ethic. I only defend LeBron because boyz keep hatin’ on this young cat. It is what it is playboy. He’s the best we’ve EVER seen play the game of basketball.
When my children are old they’ll be talking about LeBron not Jordan as being the G.O.A.T.! Because whether you eye ball it or look at the numbers King James will be sitting on top when it’s all said and done and right now at age 28 he’s killin’ Jordan at age 28! Stop me when I start lyin' and while you're at it get the Pulitzer folks on the phone because I'm on fire right now playboy!
Holla At Ya Boy!

The math notwithstanding, I'd be very surprised if a Jordan fan put together a stat comparison chart that listed accomplishments by age, since Kobe and LeBron hit the NBA straight out of HS.
ReplyDeleteThey'd go with total career stats/awards/etc (e.g. rings, MVPs, finals MVPs) or per game #s.
The referenced article, as well as your mild tirade, are both flawed in its analysis and the conclusions drawn in my humble and factual opinion. I myself have had very similar, and might I add contentious, discussions with my know-it- all 17 year old son. As one post suggested, comparing these 3 players at any age is flawed because of the different ages each entered the league. If any true comparisons can be made, if we must, we would need to draw comparisons by each players year in the league, rather than their age. Furthermore, I would suggest that you my friend need to report to in for a "drop". Somebody may have slipped you a Mickey down there at Bankers Life. Simply put......Labron "The King" "The Chosen One", or whatever title you scabs want to name him, will never claim His Airness' title. Dude has one damn title and now he somehow deserves to be mentioned with the six time champion and Finals MVP (32pts/avg at over 50% career shooting). Come on kid! Stop it!! Up until this past year, Labron couldn't even close out a game, differed in the closing minutes, and needed DWade to finish games. Beyond all of the glaring and gaudy accomplishments Jordan accrued throughout his elustrious career, I can't see giving his crown to anyone who can't close. It took this kid 9 years to develop into a closer. Just say no Jay!!!

ReplyDeleteListen my brother, age is the only way you can compare who's better as a player. I'm not just looking at stats bruh! Jordan didn't get 3 extra years at the back end of his career because he came in 3 years later than both LeBron and Kobe. Once a boy hits 34 or 35 it's a wrap whether he came in at 18 or 21. Stop giving Jordan credit for HAVING to go to college. He still played basketball for 3 years and developed. However, both Kobe and LeBron played those same 3 years against better competion and were more successful against better players. Now you need to give up the "drop' playboy! Lol
