11 Former NBA players mid 40s up to 58 yrs old going full speed, denying passes, running the floor in an Old Timers game—some retired 20 yrs prior. Meanwhile, we can’t get in-season All-Stars to go hard for even 1 game. 🤷🏽♂️ This is why I will never disrespect generations prior.

Double teams were “supposed” to be for post touches—no traps at half court, right? Tell that to the ’87 teams who didn’t get the memo… Same year MJ averaged his most PPG. And 93 Finals? Highest PPG ever.

Posting this for personal reference Up to 2018, Durant and Leonard have the 2 highest career FG% of perimeter players in NBA Finals (minimum 15 PPG) only behind Shaq and Wilt, with all games against Lebrons defense. They also shot over 40% 3PT against lebron in the Finals.

Fun Fact: Of the top 20 all-time scorers, MJ faced half. Top rebounders? He played against more than half. Top assist leaders? More than half, again. Top steal leaders? MJ went up against 14 of 20. Top rim protectors? 17 of 20. But yeah… “he played against plumbers,” right?

People really want to act like LeBron’s never gotten a friendly whistle since he entered the league; He shot 18 free throws in this game — let’s take a look at the calls he was getting, shall we. Whole Series was physical and meanwhile game 6 he’s getting these calls?? Come on!

Underrated and Under appreciated. One of the most important pieces to the Bad Boy Pistons. By the way he was also a Finals MVP. JOE DUMARS... NBA INSIDE STUFF EDITION

So y’all really took Duncan literally when he said “we guarding him with 5 guys”? Maybe he meant 5 different matchups, ’cause I’m not seeing no Quintuples here in Game 1...4-16 btw… And yes, I’m doing every game. PANDORA’s BOX

All MJ “lies & can’ts” in 1 video: •Going/finishing left, Shooting off both shoulders, •Euro steps, •Finishing on elite rim protection, •athleticism & passing, •Playing off 2 ft, •Stepbacks, •3PT shooting. I know u won’t watch just like u never watched 90’s

This y’all GOAT? I got footage: LeBron vs 90s dudes 6+ inches shorter, 50+ pounds lighter, and a certified “plumber” who guarded MJ in two Finals. HAHA—OPEN THE VAULT

LBJ shot 33% & cramped up in the 4th, but y’all love bringing up 1 big shot he hit. Meanwhile, Chalmers led the team with 12 clutch points, Wade hit big shots & got 2 key stops to seal the game. Wade & Chalmers didn’t let Westbrooks 43 tie the series. OPEN THE DAMN VAULT

MJ scores 50 vs the Celtics. What you will see: Purposeful attacks, left & right finishes, no hesitation going either direction. I’m not sharing this for upvotes— just making the “MJ couldn’t go left” crowd look silly

Pip: If Dennis is not going to lead us in rebounds he shouldn’t lead us in Technical. MJ: I’m not ready to push the panic button yet I advise you not to either. Who led in Rebounding this series? No matter what the team needed he responded. It wasn’t ALL Peachy like you think

“The Bulls got the best rebounder in the NBA” Nobody wanted him—not even Pop. The Bulls just found a way to make it work. Don’t twist history just because the outcome doesn’t match what thoughts were at the time.

Good morning, y’all remember when yall said Kobe was “carried” by Shaq—but he led them in scoring in back-to-back series, dropping 40s multiple times? Then after dropping game 1 in the Finals : NBC asked, “How will Goliath (Shaq) respond?” Kobe led all scorers Not Robin!

This Series & Game 4 vs Kings is where I despised Kobe most—wanted the Lakers to lose so bad. But unlike some, I let the hate fade for facts: Shaq fouled out again & Kobe dropped 48 pts, 16 rebs in a closeout game Y’all can’t rewrite history—sorry, not today

Not a Kobe stan, just a narrative stopper. Y’all said Kobe was dropping 40 cause Shaq was getting doubled/tripled & he was wide open. Cool. Let’s talk Game 1 vs Spurs: 45 pts. Kobe was the problem.

A lot of people say the Bulls bench brought them back in Game 6 of the Finals — that’s why it didn’t go to Game 7. What they don't mention: they were still losing when MJ checked back in. Here’s how the game actually ended… 👇🏽

After dropping Game 1 thanks to Tony Parker’s heroics, the Heat risked going down 0-2 at home. (7 % come back from 0-2). But in true champion form, Mario Chalmers led HIS HEAT in Game 2 — team-high in points, clutch buckets when it mattered most. 2013 Finals. OPEN THE VAULT

I’m old enough to remember when they said Stockton wouldn’t make the league. Today, the No. 1 defense can’t even contain him. Narrative destroyed yet again.
