KAREEM ABDUL JABBAR: CHOKE ARTIST 🧵 A lot of people put Kareem over Lebron because they view Lebron as a choke artist prior to age 27 (2011). So let’s take a look at Kareem up to 27, shall we? What could be hidden? Note: Kareem’s name change was prior to the 1972 season.


So…can someone watch this and tell me what my account has had wrong about historical NBA basketball? Hand-checking was irrelevant It’s more athletic / physical now They shoot better now They’re more skilled now Defense is better now Illegal defense made it easier to score Etc
Your nostalgia is clouding your view of how beautifully the game advanced youtu.be/AoeTN2-q7I4?si…
Anyone find it odd that MJ retired IMMEDIATELY after steroid testing was approved by the Player’s Union? The testing was agreed to on January 6, 1999. It introduced first-time testing for steroids in the NBA. Within a week, MJ retired. January 13, 1999. Coincidence? 🤔
You may see some idiots do try to downplay Lebron’s 2009 with this graphic. To be clear, this was 38 points in 38 minutes, and a 58% TS%. 14 in one 4th 10 in another 10 in OT 4 in the 4th in game 6, a game they entered the 4th down 16. This is “choking” apparently. GOAT.
