 Jordan. Man, not trying to be a dick. Different sport at a different time. It’s like comparing bitcoin to was introduced before bitcoin  
 Lived in Los Angeles. Jordan is the King have to watch the tape 
 Jordan is overrated. He played in an expansion era. The league was watered down with a lot of new teams and players that made the competition very weak. Kobe and Lebron are far more talented. Lebron can play every position at a high level and leads the league in far more statistical categories than Jordan. And Lebron is still dominating the nba at an age where Jordan was already retired.

 I used to watch all the games, as a kid, with my dad. For me, Jordan’s the goat 🤷🏾‍♂️ 
 Do you think Jordan complained to refs and flopped less than LeBitch? 
 He 100% did and he flopped too. What does that have to do with who is more skilled though? 
 Exactly. I don’t see the link with complaining 
 @Fabian it seems that when I reply to the thread, the new note removes the tags of the others in the thread and it just keeps the person replied to. 
On Nostur 1.16.0 (303) testflight 
 Took pics from Damus (I didn’t know how to show the info after the fact in Nostur). The notes were created in Nostur

 yes this fixed in next update, will be out soon 
 Thank you Fabian! 
 @Fabian  Would it be possible, in a future update, to make all pictures use full width of the post’s space?

 Same for links to songs, if possible. 1st pic is how they look in Nostur, and the second one in Damus. Thank you for your help!

 That doesn’t really change wether he was a great player or not though 
 I was mostly shitpoasting/stirring the pot. Pls proceed with the overplayed skill comparison hehe 
 That’s true but I always find myself arguing with old heads about this. I called it the back in my day syndrome 😂 
 It’s like trying to compare the best hockey player from 20 years ago to the best today. Or the best rapper from the 90s to the best rapper from the 2010s 😂 
 And they say similar things. Rappers today are soft. The rap game isn’t the same now. Everything was always better back in their day. They worked harder. Man there was one old head I was talking to that swore he could lock down Lebron when he was younger. I’m like YOU can lock down the greatest basketball player on earth? He said yeah he’d hold him to 0 points. Come on man lmao how are you not in the nba if you were that good lmao gtfo 
 I think it’s hard to compare. Every one will have their goat, depending on what era (or eras) they were paying attention to. Not the same players, not the same game, rules, etc… 
 💯 it’s not even close 
 To say it’s not even close when Lebron is better statistically is just silly lol 
 Did you watch all of Lebron during his career? 
 No I did not. I lost interest as I got older. That’s why I said for me, he’s the goat. Then again comparing players from 2 different eras is not that easy to do. All the teams are different.  
 Yeah they’re all different and the rules were different too. The 3 point line was shorter during Jordan’s era for example. The competition was a lot worse back then too. Players were not as athletic or skilled. It was also an expansion era. They added a bunch of new teams and new players that weren’t pro level. Jordan’s peers and the media admitted this openly.

 Fair enough. Not really my sport.  
 I lived in Los Angeles.
