Right because Tragic Johnson never happened, Jordan being a scoring champ not a winner was never a narrative and negativity only started when gilbert stole 100 mil from the wizards

wtf is ring culture ? Isn’t that the goal to win a fucking championship 🤣

slim4 months ago

Before Jordan won 1 they said he not a winner all he do is score. They said this man dad died because of his gambling debts…… etc. there was no social media but there was bad stories on all these guys……. Called Magic “tragic Johnson”

Man all these former players get in front of a mic and start twerking for LeBron for engagement , they’re that hungry smh

People act like legends before LeBron never lost. Kareem lost. Magic lost. Bird lost. The difference is nobody turned every playoff exit into a permanent stain on their legacy. Social media changed the way greatness is judged.

Jordan dad was missing and murdered and some questions was it his fault. Also, the way marketing was more uplifting and connecting with people. “Want to be like Mike” type stuff. The marketing today is based around what the haters think. Being motivated to shut up the doubters.

Gilbert Arenas says Ring Culture was never a thing when Jordan played when discussing the Heat big 3 teaming up to ring Chase: “Ring culture is not real. It was never real. When you go back into the 80s and 90s, there was no ring culture. There was no idea of ring culture. By the Olympics when we assembled our best unit, brung out Magic and Bird, Jordan already had two rings. He was the GOAT already. On the same team guys had 5 rings… Everyone had their rings already set. Jordan is going on his 3rd. Magic Johnson going into that season said Jordan was the GOAT. He is the best player ever.” (Via Game Over)

The director of Emilia Perez basically told us why these things happen. If you're too overtly political when you win a Golden Globe, you won't win the Oscar. So you save your big political statement for the biggest stage possible. Then you lose the Oscar so you say nothing.

Gilbert Arenas says nobody knows Michael Jordan STRUGGLED in the ‘92 Olympics because media back then were ‘fanboys’ and didn’t criticize players like they do now 😳 “The media in that time was fan boys. To be media, you had to kiss the ring. There was no negativity in the early 80s, 90s. The game was glorified and pushed positive. They didn’t bash Magic/Bird/Kareem for losing in finals…. Imagine USA ‘92 team today, and looking at Michael Jordan box scores are talked about today from how he performed. In ‘92, nobody knows MJ was struggling in Olympics and shooting that bad against guys who were wearing AAU uniforms… We didn’t hear struggling. When you say give me top 5 Olympian players and you have people who select MJ as the SG, that’s how great the media was. You believe he actually performed well in ‘92 because we weren’t told nothing bad…. The media now who’s telling you how great these players are, is the same media telling you how horrible today’s players are” (Via Gilbert Arenas)

Gilbert Arenas says LeBron James is the only reason Michael Jordan is still part of the GOAT debate “The GOAT has to change.” “Most of the people who defend Jordan never seen him in real life.” “My legacy of Jordan was the second three-peat.” “I don’t know nothing about the ’80s Jordan.” “If you were born in the ’90s, you don’t know Michael Jordan.” “Kobe was your GOAT because you got to see what it really looked like.” “You got to watch his entire career.” “The only people who bring up Michael Jordan now are the ones bringing him up when LeBron James’ name gets mentioned.” “That’s the only reason Michael Jordan is relevant.” “They’re combating the stats.” “Once LeBron is solidified as the GOAT, Jordan dwindles.” “Why doesn’t anybody talk about Kobe being the greatest anymore?” “Because he already got surpassed.” “There’s no point talking about No. 3.” “It’s only No. 1 and No. 2 now.”

Gilbert Arenas GOES IN on “Heat Culture” 😳 “Miami when it comes to Ja brand is the only place that makes sense, but I don’t think him and the Pat Riley mindset can co exist right now. You ran off Jimmy Butler, ran off D Wade and LeBron James. You have a disguised system, but it works. —The system is I get one of the top 5 players in history, they help me win, when they leave, Heat Culture. I get to whip them boys and use the ring I let the superstars get doing it his way then I get to beat everybody else into this Heat Culture system — When Shaq got there, there’s no Heat Culture. Shaq, GP, Posey, Walker, D Wade, doing whatever they wanted to do. If Heat Culture is building a barbershop in the strip club because you’re there so much god damn it sign me up! They won a chip, when they left, Heat Culture! Didn’t win nothing. Then LeBron came, LeBron did it his way, when yall had a bump, he left. Then it became Heat Culture. The only superstar who thrived with that mediocre basketball talent they had was Jimmy Butler.” (Via Gilbert Arenas)

Gilbert Arenas says Steve Kerr and the Golden State Warriors made a mistake by letting Jonathan Kuminga go: “It was a bad decision and you mismanage that piece. Really horrible. Like no matter how smart or dumb you thought he was basketball-wise, not in a basketball term. Maybe it wasn’t him that was basketball dumb. Maybe he was just something you just didn’t coach in this situation before, right? Maybe when you look at the way the roster was, you’ve never had a player like that. So you thought he was basketball dumb because it didn’t fit with the program that you have.” (Via Gilbert Arenas)

So don’t tell me it became a rival when Paul Pierce got Kevin Garnett and all that and that’s when it became a rival. A rival mean is you and him versus each other.

I knew how good D Wade was, just off raw athleticism. But when I seen flash was more than just ‘flash’, is when every summer he came back with something different. He added to the game.

Gilbert Arenas says if you stop trying to compare LeBron to Jordan, to discredit him and just look at him for himself you can see how great he’s been: “You can see how great he’s been for 21 years. Nobody in NBA history can say they’ve been that great that long. Like, I’m sorry. Some can say I was great every year I played. Yeah. 21 straight. No. So, when people talk about glazing, I say yes, you glaze. Glaze Jordan, glaze Kobe, glaze LeBron, glaze Shaq, Duncan, you know, Bill Russel. If you’re in the top 20 of all time, you should be extra glizzy glazed. Like what are we sitting here talking about?” (Via Gilbert Arenas)

Gilbert Arenas says after Jalen Brunson won a championship, it made him rethink how good Isaiah Thomas was: “The reasons that is, when you’re taking about a guard being 6’2 and you are the best player on the team. Winning a championship you’re talking about in this history there has only been 3 of you. We watched what Brunson did. So, we know how hard that was. So, it makes me rethink back wait, I seen that Detroit team, you know how good and on point you had to be to win back to back championships while playing the Lakers team, Boston team and Chicago coming up.” This is definitely a good take Isaiah Thomas does get looked past when you are taking about the greatest players to ever play winning back to back championships as a 6’2 point guard only 3 guys ever to do it.

Asmongold explains why you should never try to build your streaming brand on Twitch "Twitch is aggregated by viewer count. If you only have 100 viewers, you're probably going to stay there, but if you get a lot of viewers, you go up. So it's a snowball, when you win you keep winning, and when you're losing you lose even more. That's the bad thing about the website, and I don't know how Twitch can solve it, but it is a problem." "Streaming on there is also basically gambling. It's so random, you wake up wondering if today's going to be good, and especially for smaller creators with no other income, it's literally I hope somebody donates $50 today. It's a crazy reward structure and people get really attached to it." "So my best advice for anybody is do not try to build a brand on Twitch. Build it on TikTok, build it on YouTube, build it basically anywhere else but Twitch."
