I think with the new age collecting rookie year focus we/people have less time honestly to reflect and appreciate the greats. Its how it is now and also back then there was no 24/7 news cycle and social media to feel like you could interact with superstars and watch highlights whenever you wanted.
Have to agree with this.... you see people paying $20K+ for Luka National Treasures cards and what has he won? Absolutely nothing...... down the track he may win something but its crazy!
Yet you have legends like Magic, Abdul-Jabbar, and the 80's GOAT Larry Bird selling for bugger all...even Pippen!..... these guys won championships, MVPs etc but because they were in the 80's/90's no one really cares for them like they should.
I feel bad for Pippen but if he had advice to sign that contract I’d be blaming the advice. If he didn’t get advice at all then it’s his problem. At the end of the day if an organisation signs a player to a massive deal and then they are awful they can’t get their money back so it works both ways. Loving this old school ball!
Man MJ had it all, just a brilliant technician. It's kinda sad we will probably never see someone with such an array of scoring weapons again. Thesedays it's just stepback threes and layups. Give me a MJ 30 pt game over a Harden 50 point game anytime.
