Michael Jordan is the greatest - period.

No.

And you wonder why people don't like you.

Ray Meyer and the DePaul final four team is the peak of both Chicago college basketball, and possibly the peak of urban school college basketball.

To the latter point maybe the 3 final 4 Big East teams, but the end of DePaul was the harbinger of the end of urban school powerhouses in college basketball.

I thought that also but then Villanova came along to spoil the theory.

40 years ago the following schools were CBB powerhouses: Houston, DePaul, Marquette, St. John’s, Memphis, Temple, probably another urban school or two that I am forgetting. Exactly none of those teams is relevant now, although Calapari had Memphis humming a few years ago.

Sure Nova is rocking like Memphis was a decade ago, but the fact that one urban team is enjoying success doesn’t negate the general fact that CBB power has transitioned from urban schools to essentially power 5 state flagship schools.

"Oh no, biased local fans are supremely upset at a generational talent surpassing the previous generational talent. Whatever will bring me solace in my time of discomfort."

Tell you one thing. I won't be hitting up chatroulette for local teens.

To the rest of us, this just reads as a millenial lashing out at his elders because of bitterness and jealousy over not getting to experience first hand the brilliance of MJ during his prime and what that meant as a diehard Bulls fan.


For me, I was lucky enough to experience MJ during the absolute height of a sports fans life, the ages of teen through late 20s. As sports fans we'll never love and die with a team as much as we do during that period in our lives. And I got MJ from age 14 through age 28 when the last title was won. During that same period of age IMU was stuck with Elton Brand and Eddie Robinson. Understandable that he would be bitter about it now.


Sad and pathetic, but understandable.

You appear to be dumber than we think you are as well.

Not dumb enough to almost get put on a sex offender registry for $52.
