Break My Heart
He also played 3/4 of the Finals game with a broken or near-broken hand, while still putting up MVP-worthy numbers. It's close, but I think the numbers quite clearly point to Lebron as the superior player. I doubt Michael could have dragged such an objectively awful team as this year's Cavs to the Finals (to say nothing of dragging the Kyrie-less 2015 Cavs to a Finals game 7; he really should have taken home the Finals MVP that year). The dude is a monster, and turns literally any team into an instant contender.
Wasn't James part of the "dream-team" which didn't even make it to the final, due to losing to Greece?
Not that i ever liked Jordan much - or the bulls. I liked the pacers at some point - due to 3pointer game. The bulls were just Jordan and his bff Pippen.
I supported virtually all the teams facing the bulls in finals, eg the Suns, the Drexlers (
), even the Jazz.

What business is it of yours?
Yes, but Kobe was number 24 so obviously he is better than both of them.
2015 finals lasted 6 games, but I agree he should have been MVP
always supporting losers.I supported virtually all the teams facing the bulls in finals, eg the Suns, the Drexlers (
If Jordan hadn't take a break to play baseball there would be no debate. But whatever you want to say. 6-0 in the finals, no matter who was on the team.

The issue for me was that the bulls were Jordan, Pippen, and then usually nothing (Danny Ange -spelling?- was there at a time iirc, ok player).
Besides, what serious team has Cartright as its center?
I never liked 'only there for rebounds' Rodman either.
All you're doing is making the case that Jordan was better.
But in reality the supporting cast had some good situational players. Horace Grant, Denis Rodman, Craig Hodges, John Paxton, Steve Kerr.
Jordan knew how to use his team.

What has any of this got to do with Hippocrates or gender diversity?
Suit's you, sir.

Very far fetched reading into Kyriakos mind:
Hippo said do not harm. A doctor today can interpret this in whatever way he wants, if it e.g. comes to a gender change (is it beneficial? Is it a harmful mutilation?). What Hippo originally went is not exactly relevant.
Same for the song. It doesn't really matter what the original writer meant, if you interpret it for yourself in a good way.
No idea why Kyriakos picked that example, and not sure if I agree with it, just my interpretation what has been said.
Actually i meant it in an even more general way: the Hippocratic oath is taken by doctors of medicine; would it change anything if (eg) one argued that Hippocrates himself had different morals than those individual doctors today identified with? Imo no, cause the oath is about medicine, and is aptly general.
the hippocratic oath is obsolete thogh, except for historical allusion as 'hippocratic oath' sounds so much better than 'physician's pledge as outlined in the Declaration of Geneva' - most if not all pledges if any are taken nowadays model themselves after one of the various versions of the Declaration of Geneva...
So it wouldn't change much knowing who Hipocrates was in this context as he is merely one of many influences on what nowadays is understood by people alluding to the hippocratic oath.

That's not true at all, Jordan's teams were solid without him, and he took them from good teams to historic. James teams outside of miami have been somewhere between lukewarm and terrible. Bulls in 94 and 95 without Jordan (Jordan came back for 95 playoffs) won 55 and 47 games and were a 3 seed and a 5 seed and lost in the second round. That's pretty good. The cavs were 33-49 the year before James joined.
47 games won isn't that good, though. And they also had Kukoc, who (iirc) came after Jordan left the first time, no? Pippen (the US version of Kukoc, ie a good player but not dream-team level imo; of course Jorban had to include him and ban Isaiah Thomas) & Kukoc, and 47 games won in a season is rather mediocre, no?
Kukoc was a good player, though maybe he never really adjusted to the NBA.
