Recruiting Football Talk VIII

I agree with this, but given his intensely selfish attitude (about which we only recently became aware), I also think we were headed to a 7-5 type season that no one would see coming.

Now, we face a 7-5ish season with backups and the App State QB, and we are all well aware and can set expectations accordingly

This may be the best thing that happened to Heupel - he averted disaster

If we exceed 7-5 this year, it will be a great achievement on his part
Wrong. WGWTFA.

DNA is most certainly affected but mutations are almost exclusively harmful. This supports increases in cancer in our high radiation environment but it can not be used to support the theory that it aided interspecies evolution. If it did we would see it now.

I was just thinking that we could connect directly to bluetooth. . .

Make an ai robot. . . call it, Idk, Sally. Link your brain directly to it via DNA bluetooth and have complete control of it. . . or have google linked directly to your brain. . . it would be cool to be able to think of something and have it deciphered and turned into a picture or design/blueprint.

If we're just talking playing days, I'll take Magic.
Magic came from a basketball powerhouse in Michigan State and Larry Bird was from lowly Indiana State. Larry Bird made everyone better and Magic just had to manage games. Who did more with less talent around him? *see attached screenshot
Yeah it’s MJ, but nice try.

Also, coach and executive of the year? The question is greatest player, not greatest overall nba contributor or whatever this is supposed to prove.
It's "the greatest basketball player".... in any form.
TF outta here with this BS.

Bird had Kevin McHale, Robert Parrish, and Dennis Johnson for most of his career. And during the prime of his career, they added Bill Walton. They literally walked out a HOF starting 5 for 2 straight years in the mid 80s.

Not only that, but Bird himself says that MJ is the GOAT.
@Carp . You obviously didn't read the article in the post you replied to. Screenshot_20250506_101705_DuckDuckGo.jpg






I'm very disappointed but not surprised. No articles posted, no player/coach interviews, or research done by any of you, just lazy arguments on all of your parts. "It's MJ because he's got a cool logo" and "It's Magic because I like the Lakers". Boring and lazy and honestly, pathetic. Until someone gives me some concrete evidence stating otherwise, then Larry Bird is the best thing to ever happen to organized basketball.

Until someone gives me some concrete evidence stating otherwise, then Larry Bird is the best thing to ever happen to organized basketball.

Dennis Johnson was an MVP candidate before he ever came to Boston. Bill Walton already had an MVP under his belt. Parish at GS was a fierce defender and rebounder and a decent scorer. Your argument doesn't hold up.

Larry Bird literally says MJ is the GOAT. Nearly every single player that played against MJ says MJ is the GOAT. I'll take the word of people that actually have first hand experience over some rando white dude on the internet.

I don't need to link to any articles. Google is free. And everything I said is backed up by proof.

That's your opinion. What Wikipedia states isn't the Gospel. Bird and Magic both resurrected the NBA. Do you know before Bird and Magic came into NBA that games were taped delayed that you watched on T.V. ?

You talking about how KM and RP were unknown and lazy. Well Magic team was no better when he came into league same season Bird did. Lakers had a washed up Jamaal Wilkes, Norm Nixon and Mitch Kupchak. Kareem was there but Magic's enthusiasm rejuvenated Abdul-Jabbars career.

Both are icons that relived the NBA and Jordan took it to the next level.
 
And that wasn't even in his prime. Dude had massive hands. He defied gravity and him eepalming the ball was like you and I holding a grapefruit.
I shook hands with Dr. J at a speech he gave at my cousin's school, unbelievably, cartoon like massive hands. The school made a plaster cast of his hands and put them in the trophy case.

Sounds cool, but let's agree that not everyone should have this ability. I would deny myself access for one.

I will end this now (yeah right). Larry Bird is the greatest basketball Being of all-time because he is not, physically, the complete package but his mind and basketball IQ are light years ahead of everyone else. He may have not been able to do some of the things that Jordan (who was a better basketball player) could do physically, but he was always ten steps ahead of everyone.
Jordan, Majic, Dr. J, Lebron, Wilt, etc. were all physical and athletically freaks of nature
In honor of the recent May the Fourth. Jordan is Luke Skywalker, Larry Bird is the old man Obi Wan who was a master of the force and Jedi mind tricks. Lebron is Chewbacca.
