NBA Forever

December 30, 2011 in Sports, Thoughts with 0 Comments

Like a lot of people, I carry a great deal of skepticism right now towards the NBA. From the lockout that went far too long to the trade block of Chris Paul; it has seemed to move away from a focus on the fans. This is my greatest concern for all pro sports is that they have forgotten the people who pay for the tickets, merchandise, and everything in between that keeps those leagues running. We so quickly forget the people who pay the bills and fill the seats. It often feels like those most dedicated to the cheering on of the games are often forgotten by the ones filling their bank accounts.

But, with all of my own thoughts of this subject (for all sports) aside, there is something magical about looking at the game and its history. This year, this was done with a large amount of class as we got to see what it might look like if old and new played together.

I would have loved to see an image of Jordan dunking over Lebron though! ;)

Jordan is still the best of all time!

This is a bit more proof!

Here is why! Six-time NBA champion (1991-93, 1996-98); MVP (1988, ‘91, ‘92, ‘96, ‘98); 10-time All-NBA First Team (1987-93, 1996-98); All-NBA Second Team (1985); Defensive Player of the Year (1988); Nine-time All-Defensive First Team (1988-93, 1996-98); Rookie of the Year (1985); 14-time All-Star; All-Star MVP (1988, ‘96, ‘98); One of 50 Greatest Players in NBA History (‘96); Olympic gold medalist (1984, ‘92).

Jordan took a team of nobody’s and made a championship team.  He made everyone rise to a higher level, that is leadership!  Lebron couldn’t make the team around him rise to success in Cleveland so he had to go to a place where an NBA champion already was at. He doesn’t have near the accomplishments of Jordan.  Maybe after 4 championship rings we could have a better discussion, but not until he wins the big game a few times and shows to be a real leader on the court.
