Gilbert says MJ wouldn’t be as successful as LeBron in this era “When we’re talking about Ja Morant and the silly sh!t he’s doing, and that’s tarnishing his legacy…You take MJ’s personality, the gambling, all that..F*CK NO” (Via I AM ATHLETE )

@IAMATHLETEpod Gilly is 1000% right here.

@IAMATHLETEpod What I don’t like about the podcast era we’re in now is this: we have wayyy too many “what if” conversations solely for the sake of clicks and views

@IAMATHLETEpod Oh my god we don’t care

The basis for these takes and opinions is tough because we’re dismissing a person’s growth in this society. This society is different from then we all know that. There’s something called adjusting which we’ll never know, but it’s something that often gets dismissed because we create this narrative that this athlete couldn’t do it today, or an athlete today couldn’t back then. We’ll never know, but it’s foolish to outright dismiss it because it’s vital to an individual of what there surroundings are. Much of today is media based. Therefore people move differently

@IAMATHLETEpod 100%.. I’d go as far to say no player from previous eras would be as good as they were. The sports media discourse is so toxic.. it’s just another hurdle for players to get over

@IAMATHLETEpod There’s the conspiracy that MJ got his dad killed due to his gambling debts. If that story happened with the way social media & the news is now? NO WAY he recovers from that. Dude might’ve committed suey wuey after everything social media woulda been saying

@IAMATHLETEpod Your goat scared of burner accounts with blueface on the avi😭. He’d be mediocre in this era

@IAMATHLETEpod Mj been said this 🤷

@IAMATHLETEpod His takes are some of the weakest I’ve heard.
