OT Love's Return to Mini

[riverman]

I'm guessing mags took some acid and on a whim wondered how many time a thread would repeat the word transcended, transcendental, etc....and it worked! Got a few from me right here in the middle of transcendental posting in the lotus position. Jordan was way bigger across the world than Lebron or any player before or since. There's no competition. That's a fact. Go to China and say basketball and every little kid says Jordan.

Space Jam put Jordan over the top!!

 

[KingSpeed]

Was that before or after the decision? Because LBJ Transcended when the decision happened. He did the ol' WWE Face/heel swap. They made a damn "Heat index" page on E!SPN just so they could have a whole section about him.

I wonder what the finals ratings were from 08-14?

Not as good as Jordan's. Not close. Decision was in 2010 by the way.

It's still relative. LBJ is the only one I'll say that even compares to Jordan in terms of people watching that don't even care about basketball.

 

[Strenuus]

Also, check the ratings of the years Miami Heat were in the finals with him.

 

[KingSpeed]

Leonard is our second best player nowadays. Weird.

Dude. I'm talking television ratings. People that didn't care about basketball watched Jordan. Jordan's TV ratings WAY better than LeBron's.

Television ratings don't describe transcendent.

But that isn't what makes players transcendent.

You can learn the word then post as well

Jordan was so good, he was bigger than the game. Transcended it. The other players don't come close.

 

[magnifier661]

Jordan was so good, he was bigger than the game. The other players aren't.

You are describing "marketable". If you talk about "good", LBJ is as good or better than Jordan. As I already pointed out, LBJ had a higher per during his finals campaign.

Exceeding usual limits. Kobe, LeBron, Dirk are all the usual limits. Jordan went past them.

Nope, they were transcendent to all the players in the game during the days they played. Sorry, you failed

It's not about marketable. It's about how Jordan was bigger than the game. Bigger than "marketable." LeBron and Chris Paul are "marketable." Jordan was much more.

Jordan transcended just being the best player of his generation.

 

[magnifier661]

Jordan transcended just being the best player of his generation.

Jordan is the best player of "all-time". No argument there. But transcendent players are in every generation.

 

[KingSpeed]

Every generation has stars. Jordan was bigger than that. And still is, really. 12 years since, he's played and there is a Jordan Brand of shoe. More people know who Michael Jordan is than LeBron James. Jordan is on a whole other leveL. His game reached out of the league, out of his generation.

If there are transcendent players very generation, then it's just a usual thing and thus NOT transcendent. That's all ain't have to say on the matter.

And transcendent means exactly that. Thanks for proving it for me.

We can agree that Jordan transcends all the transcendent players.

Transcendent players are the dominant players of their generation.

Now can we move on?

Wrong...

the last time our two best players were jump-shooting PFs we traded Z-bo for cap space and passed on Durant.
