    Of course, you are trying to say 104 points in the old days isn't equivalent to 104 points today. And you find that ridiculous yourself.

    You're placing far too much emphasis on pace and averages (remember, we're talking about outliers) and not nearly enough emphasis on league rules and caliber of opponents.

    In that 86-87 season, the Bulls had a pace of 95.8 possessions per game. The league average last season was 92.7. That's a 3 possession difference. Let's not make mountains out of molehills.

    I previously quoted Stu Jackson, NBA VP of Basketball Operations, from an interview in 2007. You never responded to it so I'll quote it again.

    So in other words, this era's rule changes were intended to benefit players who penetrate and move without the basketball. Jordan was the epitome of such a player yet you don't think his numbers would improve in this era?

    What if a prime Jordan were on the Warriors last night? He would've been single covered all night long and would've gone right by Martin/Battier/Lee towards a rim protected by Chuck Hayes. Had he wanted to and had his teammates facilitated it, you don't think Jordan could've gotten a 100?

    He's right. Michael Jordan is the GOAT. Today's NBA is so wussified. Breathing on someone is a foul.

    Jordan can drop 200 on us if for our weak ass backcourt and Battier who let ellis GO 18-24 shooting and a 6'6 center defending the middle, along with a non-existant on defense at the 4 spot.

    Seriously. If freaking Monta Ellis can get near 50, how many damn points could Jordan score on us If he really wanted to?

    So here is the post where everything started. I was wondering why people were talking about this in the Pat Riley post.

    As a Chinese, I commiserate with goodbug for being unkindly and perhaps unjustly ridiculed for his writing. You guys shouldn't do it.

    That said, however, the guy's either a moron or a blind Kobe nuthugger. Most likely both.

    I dont think anyone would have ridiculed him for his writing if he hadnt been bragging about his published papers and other writing accomplishments.

    And that's why I brought up the papers.

    Ridiculous comments are expected from hurt fans. But lying is an integrity issue. I feel sorry for you.

    I've given you so many opportunities to show me where I've been "pwned" and yet you always come up dry.

    I make fun of your grammar because 1) you are an arrogant prick, and 2) you have been posting on this board for almost 10 years and you still write like a five year old. I don't care if English is your 5th language; your lack of progress in this area can only be attributed to laziness and we as a society need to stop celebrating that.

    Like predicting I would disappear after finals and it was actually you doing that? LOL

    I am making fun of you because you behave like a hurt b****.
    I also feel sorry because you have reading difficulties. When none by you on this forum is having difficulty of following my posts, you should look into mirror.

    Too bad there's no "EFL" courses but if you beg hard maybe you can be accepted in elementary school.

    He has to wait until his ESL tutor returns so he can understand exactly why he was pwned.
