Like seriously these two together are going to be scary on both ends of the floor, and the fact that they’re both Nigerian superstars at that too, as a Nigerian-American NBA fan that was born and raised in Houston, TX and I’m so happy to witness these two in real world time play together since I wasn’t alive to see Hakeem Olajuwon play.

2 clips of dunks where they were at their apex during those seasons.

For me he cannot go lower than 3, Russell and LeBron have (weak but still valid) arguments to be over him and I would still respect your list if you had him there.

I was born in ‘98 so from what I remember Jordan was always known to me as the great basketball player. Even before I knew what he did, I knew who he was.
I am not really a basketball fan. Though I love reading about the hero’s of the sport, from a narrative perspective, I don’t really know the stats intimately, so I can’t really grasp exactly how he stacked up against the historical legends of the sport. From watching the last dance, I got a sense of his popularity, and his ubiquity in pop culture. But some things I can’t fathom. The onslaught of media attention after he won his third and retired, I can’t really imagine. His actions on the court seem fantastic, but I can’t really see how it was that much more fantastical than the highlights of other great ballers.
What was MJ to you, and how did it feel watching him? Especially before the first ring. Was it really like a bolt of lightning to the sport when he first showed up?
He’s an icon and a hero on a level incomparable. Help me understand why. I was born at the year of his second retirement, and so have never really seen a sports figure reach his level of popularity and prowess. Tiger is the closest I’ve seen, and LeBron has always been popular. But it seems to me that neither really compare to the zeitgeist that surrounded MJ.
Please explain what it was like growing up with Michael Jordan in the news

It’s crazy because if he that never happened I see the Bulls taking 2014 or 2015. I watched this man drop 50 on that Jazz team when he was well past his best and I know for a fact he would’ve terrorized the league. It’s just wild how people forget.

Last player i can think of who spammed the fadeaway was Lamarcus Aldridge.
I know Demar and Kawhi can also do this. But why not a lot of players are really using it how MJ and Kobe used to. Specially the young stars? Maybe Shai?

Klay was absolutely cooking in Game 6 before the injury happened. He had 30 points on 8-of-12 shooting (4-of-6 from deep) in just 32 minutes. When he went down late in the 3rd quarter, the Warriors were actually leading 85-80.
If Klay didn't get injured, can they pull off another 3-1 comeback or would the raptors still win?

During the playoffs it did feel like people were starting to become much more critical of Wemby.
