May I add to that my list of under rated NBA stars: Norm Nixon, Marques Johnson, Junior Bridgeman, Bob Macadoo, Kevin Mchale, and others

You forgot Elgin Baylor

That's a pretty good list of superstars.

Walt Bellamy, Connie Hawkins, Spencer Haywood & Tiny Archibald while you're at it

@@rawsportsradio I'd only say yes to Hawkins from that group

Uncle Funky D. Me too

yeah and drugs didn't help either

Its was better than the finger roll man himself(ice man george gervin)

Yeah and Kobe's dad played with doctor j

+John Quincy Astor The difference is that Michael Jordan actually became better than the players he emulated. Objectively speaking, I don't think you can say the same thing about Kobe, which is why there are some ppl who unjustly hate on him. It's just not fair for anyone to be compared to the greatest ever.

Santino Espina Being the GOAT is a very relative title. My dad thinks Oscar is the GOAT, my grandfather thinks Wilt is the GOAT and for players in this generation like D'Angelo Russell who never saw Jordan Kobe is his GOAT. I can only say Jordan is the greatest SG because different roles serve different requirements. Hell Bill Russell has 13 rings so he definitely deserves that distinction. Kareem has 6 rings and one more MVP than Jordan and more points and was an all-star every year he played(19 times). I will say since I'm 35 Jordan is my GOAT but in some ways as far as moves in his arsenal I think Kobe did surpass Jordan in that regards.

σ♫

I didn't really mean to argue about who the greatest is, but since that's what you want to talk about, sure. I was only trying to explain why Kobe gets some flack for emulating Jordan. GOAT can be a relative title, but if you've educated yourself enough in the game of basketball to eliminate any bias based on era, any sensible basketball fanatic can admit that Jordan's dominance in one of the most talented eras in the history of the league can very well merit the title GOAT. I'm only 20 years old, too young to have watched MJ in his prime, but after watching dozens of full game MJ performances, along with watching full games of titlege greats of each era, I have no doubt in my mind he's head and shoulders above everyone else.

He wrecked his knee at a bar in NY. I think the bouncer threw him down the stairs. DT was hooked on the white stuff

Hahaha, exactly man. Btw I hope you subscribe and get notified for my next video! I appreciate it so much :)

Worded it wrong but ok like saying dell looks like steph playing lol even tho he doesn't. Kobe and mj are identical with certain moves

Lol nvm i read it wrong 😜 you said they

MJ looks like them.

And Walter Davis too

Looks like DT travels on every move. Shuffles feet. But not like Harden. L0L.

John Tompkins bullshit , jordan always took 3 + steps

Elizabeth Ash Petta...good afternoon Elizabeth....I remember `when David did a fabulous dunk over doc in an ABA game.....that was a great league..problem no national tv contract ..no money

He has waaaay more moves than both of them, which makes sense for a guy playing a decade later.

@@kingcam0775 Michael Jordan favorite player is David Thomson

@@jojo9766 Yep, and he surpassed him and then some. It helped that he didn't partake in drugs and had a quicker first step. Thompson's one of the few who might have been as or more athletic than Jordan overall, though.

@@kingcam0775 It would make sense due to the evolution of the game. Jordan took from them and added more to his arsenal. Kobe took from Jordan and added more to his arsenal. What's interesting about it? Dr. J is a SF while Jordan and Kobe are SGs.

And thanks for watching too! I appreciate it Hope you subscribe and turn on notifications :)

@johnnyreed8537 U `re kidding? RIGHT? I was in jEW TOWN/MAXWELL STRRET in CHICAGO, 2ND yr. in H.S. when we heard on the radio that DT had droppped 73 against the PISTONS. I think that gm. was in early APRIL if I recall. Last gm, of the regular season. The 1st guy I thought about for some reason was ICE. The 2 were just % points the entire season scoring wise & it came down to this: ICE need 58pts. to hav the scoring championship. Both the SPURS & NUGGETS were already in the playoffs but ICE, 6 or 7 hrs. later won the scoring title against the JAZZ at the NEW ORLEANS SUPERDOME. Blew everybodys` mind. ICE had sumthin like 52 or whatever by halftime & finished with 63. %pts. Ice 27.22 while SKYWALKER`S final tally was 27.15.

MJ also used to watch NC State games on TV as a kid.

Jordan affects

Oh man! absolutely !! good catch!! If you're new please hit sub and like! Would love to see you around my new vids! Also check out my latest video :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fb2Jo5Cps7q5hWw.html&lc=z12ieph4osvltrbuy23ox1oqiz2bsfhgu04

isamunoguchi I been saying we need a new Dr.J/David Thompson in this generation

there was men in it 2day there are clowns

I disagree.

J M Bauzo so true

J M Bauzo if you put your feelings to the side you'd see that that statement is a lie....you may not like the 3s and how they play from outside in now but GS just averaged 30 assists a game they're only the 6th team to do so.......I mean this isn't my favorite era of basketball but it's still good

Space Allen that's stupid like walking backwards lol plus they would never do that if they did it would be all slow and boring literally just gaurding the rim maybe if you enjoy watching defense better idea. Bring back hand checking 5 sec for lane and back to basket that would decrease the 3 frequency i think

Enrique Espinosa wtf?

At that time, he (Pistol) was.

drj was great defender...he avg about 2 steals and 2 blocks...no sf had or will have these numbers!but thompson was one of the quicker and more explosive guards in the history of the game and was 6.4 while drj was 6.7....thompson was like prime wade!

+Darren Trent thompson is faster than most nba players today

+Andreas GR I'm not sure if docs on ball defense was that great

str8duval He was...there are many videos that proves it and the fact he avg over 2 steals in his career as well!

+Andreas GR I don't doubt he could've been. he seems to be good getting in passing lanes. I guess seeing him getting torched by Bird recently didn't help. but I guess Bird did that. to every one.

That's right

It was just a gather lay up lol the angle is nearly identical, though

@@therealc.t.7085 it literally the same lay up.

Mj has more finesse than Dr. J. He had better artistry too.

@@thespaceram2879 ...False!

@@brucescott4261 you are acting falsely here.

MJ plays exactly like David Thompson. Seemed like Thompson had a quicker jumper & was a little quicker off the dribble cause he was much smaller. MJ was way more explosive & jumped higher than Thompson

Exactly

Thank u for saying that, I'm so sick of the MJ fanboys and their cult like obsession with him.

kobes dad too

The Game evolved lol

+Pound-For-Pound yeah back then they didn't shoot jump shots all the time like they do now

It didn't necessarily evolve. It's like you watch Curry shoot today, and his stroke is pretty unorthodox too. In 20 years, his quick release could be the streamlined shot. Anyways, my point is it isn't necessarily evolution. Sometimes, it's just change.

+Uncle Funky D. No problem watching that block knowing now Jones would be a Sixer the next year as a result of the McGinnis trade. Hated the trade at first then realized we had pulled off a steal after watching Bobby play every night.

Great Trade Let's Go Sixers

Thompson was better than Mj and Lebron. There has never been a better "jump" shot than Skywalker.

Old heads🙄

No way is DT better than LBJ. LeBron is bigger, stronger, faster, more powerful and a much better defender than David.

On a scale of 1-10, MJ is a 10. DT is an 8.

Lebron is better at almost every facet of the game lol

+terry andre try Elgin Baylor. LeBron is the next step after Dr J, who was the next step after Baylor

Um Derrick rose and westbrook there 6'3 elgin and dt are like 6'5. They brought in a new era for pg's athletic scorers with mad bounce. Kd and gianis are some other shit lol for years 7fters were slow brick layers now there quick sharps gianis might not shoot like kd but he fast af imagine then on the same team

Kj obviously because it's no 3pt line

Sure, like he does now.

And would have got Dunked on by Dr.J
