Jordan doesn't need any 'defense'. Career Win Shares per 48 minutes: #1 Jordan #7 Kareem
-
But when somebody says the American public tends to side with the bosses over the workers, you go nutty on them. That's some great tolerance right there.
-
But when you don't care for what the other person is saying, it's claptrap.
-
I don't understand people who project that far ahead. Tell your friend to relax and see what happens.

Ouch! Justin Trudeau is a good-looking airhead like his mother, not a great leader like his father.
-
You're being dragged into a political debate, Kimmi. No one escapes!

Risk comes in degrees.

I remember that contest well. The insult that ended the contest was 'Critic!'.
-
Right, you hear that one a lot. I've certainly argued on behalf of the owners my fair share. But as for Blake Snell, it sounds to me like he's got a valid case.
-
And why do they side with the bosses is the question. When it comes to sports, the public is angry about having their entertainment taken away. I suppose it's natural they'll blame the entertainers first. Just throwing that out there.
-
This is specifically about risking our lives in our job though. I honestly don't feel like I'm risking my life when I'm punching numbers into a computer.

It strikes me as weird how much Red Sox fans talk about trading JD Martinez. All the guy has done in two years is hit like David Ortiz, be instrumental in winning a championship, and from all reports be a great clubhouse presence and help to other hitters.
-
What facts do we have on that?
-
Looks like Jordan is the career leader in some of the key advanced stats.
-
I agree with the point about linemen. And it's true that there isn't as much difference in basketball. But there is a pretty big difference in the skill sets of Russell and Jordan, IMO.
-
I'm not a fan of comparing quarterbacks to running backs or linebackers. Just as I'm not a fan of comparing Bill Russell to Michael Jordan. I don't get the obsessive need to have one at the top of the list.
-
And yet Tom crushes the other two with his rings.
-
It was because your theory is counter-intuitive. Logically, the more teams, the more rounds of playoffs, the harder it is for a team to repeat. But that may not apply to the NBA, because we still see a relatively small number of teams dominate.
-
Do you have any data to back that theory up?
-
So a playoff tournament starting with 21 teams? Yikes. Sounds incredibly rinky-dink.
-
a) The Bulls didn't make it to the Conference finals while Jordan was on his baseball hiatus. The rings argument for Russell is weakened a bit by how small the NBA was back then. In some of those years there were only 8 teams.
-
All true.
-
Are you old enough to have seen the Oilers in the Gretzky years?
-
My poor brother-in-law is a fan of the following teams: Toronto Maple Leafs Detroit Tigers New York Jets
-
Especially after watching some of this series on the Bulls, I have to put Jordan at the top. As Larry Bird said after MJ torched a great Celtics defense, "That wasn't Michael Jordan out there, that was God disguised as Michael Jordan."
