a lot also had to do with the growing divergence between NBA player culture and middle class white culture, to the extent the latter even exists anymore |

Jordan came from two parent middle class home, grew up in mixed area, loved baseball and westerns. He is a far cry culturally from someone like Lebron James. |

Date: February 14th, 2018 9:25 AM Author: Insane Useless Brakes that's part of it for sure. i bet most of the people who made MJ iconic also despise Lebron, even though (or especially because) he was forcememe'd to be the next Jordan. if they had approval ratings I bet Lebron would score <20% whereas MJ was beloved by 80% of sports fans.
MJ was handsome, extremely charismatic, had a dynamic personality and a compelling life narrative. Lebron looks like a fucking billygoat. everything he says is trash. and he spray-painted the word nigger on his house to get attention. I'm pretty sure he also campaigned for Hillary Clinton. the hilarious thing is that all of his handlers used to talk about how savvy and sophisticated he was at 19 when he was really just a roided up dude who could run fast and jump really high. |

Date: February 14th, 2018 9:59 AM Author: Floppy Menage Depressive Great poast. I have a unique perspective on Lebron.
I actually used to love him, especially after everyone HATED him after The Decision. I loved how he played so hard, generally was a real winner, and just did what he wanted. He seemed like a real man.
But then his race got the better of him. He couldn’t resist the lure of the fraudulent BLM, and saw himself as some kind of spokesman for “social justice.” He became increasingly outspoken for Hillary, turning himself into some kind of pathetic shill. Worse, he got so deranged that he spray painted “nigger” on his house as you said, just for some victim and social signaling points.
Now I view him as some sort of deranged shell of his former self, similar to Eminem. Shitliberalism kills personalities and your very character. |

Date: February 14th, 2018 10:05 AM Author: Floppy Menage Depressive I tend to view things differently from most people, but yes, I did like the decision and used to argue with people who shit on it.
It’s very sad what he’s become. I’m telling you I used to love this guy. |

Date: February 14th, 2018 9:45 AM Author: Crusty greedy voyeur this is an absurd take. the nba’s biggest stars are among the best known athletes in the world (lmao at madden 2018 using james harden and chris paul in their commercials instead of nfl players). i agree the nba is irrelevant to the average xoxo poster, but it’s a dominant force for the slightly younger generation.
also the idea that players today aren’t 100000x more media savvy and/or likely to come from middle class backgrounds than in the allen iverson era is silly. same with pointing to the actual quality of gameplay vs the basically unwatchable 90s or mid 2000s - the 15-16 golden state warriors were among the biggest spectacles in the history of american sports
“i hate today’s nba” =/= “i hate the nba and everyone agrees with me”
