Thanks. Evidently you need an account as it is asking for a username and password. May have to consider opening an account if they are using this to post team “updates” to. Thanks again.

Opened an account now and can see. Looks like it is Josh walking into the Ford Center for the first time. Couldn’t unmute the sound icon on my phone - so not sure if he said anything. Thanks again.

I don’t think there was any sound. They do tend to post things on instagram that you won’t see on their other social media accounts. Here’s some photos of the new guys all taking part in practice at the Ford Center. http://instagram.com/p/CuAOxiLOANw

Thanks. Nice follow throughs on Josh and Michael’s shots. Good vertical on the left-handed dunk by Braylon. Looks like Chuck would get called for palming or a carry in that photo though. Glad to see them working hard and bonding. Thanks again for sharing.

Thanks for sharing Larry. If you click on some of the recent team videos, one is “Who is the GOAT? Jordan or LeBron.” The team was split. 8 votes for Jordan and 8 votes for LeBron. Chuck voted for himself. I would say Jordan but it definitely seems to be split by age here where the older guys were more likely to say Jordan. Snow, Rags and one of the walk-ons (still trying to figure out who the newer walk-ones are) summed it up pretty good for me. The walk-on said Jordan was six of six and LeBron was four of ten in championship games - end of discussion. Wonder what people on here think (or if we need a new thread for this poll).

Jordan is the GOAT. Never jumped ship to form a super team, although I guess you could say that MJ, Pippen, and Kukoc actually formed that. But in all honesty, while Jordan normalized the high flying game, I would almost say that Bird was 1A for the GOAT.

Jordan and it’s not even close. Remember also, Jordan never lost a finals. Lebron’s lost what 4?

Obviously by my profile photo, I'm going with Larry Bird as the GOAT!

Obviously by my profile photo, I'm going with Larry Bird as the GOAT! Some good choices here. In 13 seasons, Bird lead the Celtics to five NBA finals appearances and three NBA championships. However, he played most of his career with forward Kevin McHale and center Robert Parish, considered by some to be the greatest front court in NBA history. In 15 NBA seasons, Jordan won all six of the NBA championships that he reached. Scottie Pippen helped in all six and Steve Kerr and Dennis Rodman on the last three. A brief listing of Jordan’s individual accomplishments include: Rookie of the Year; Five-time NBA MVP; Six-time NBA Finals MVP; Ten-time All-NBA First Team; Nine time NBA All-Defensive First Team; Defensive Player of the Year; 14-time NBA All-Star; Three-time NBA All-Star MVP; 50th Anniversary All-Time Team; Ten scoring titles — an NBA record and seven consecutive matching Wilt Chamberlain; Retired with the NBA’s highest scoring average of 30.1ppg; Hall of Fame inductee. LeBron is in the midst of his 20th NBA season and is the all-time leading scorer in NBA history and ranks fourth in career assists. He has won four NBA championships (two with the Miami Heat, one each with the Lakers and Cleveland Cavaliers), and has competed in 10 NBA Finals. Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh were his primary sidekicks in Miami, Anthony Davis in LA and Kyrie Irving in Cleveland.

The only people who think LeBron > Jordan, are those who are too young to have watched Jordan.

Hard to compare players from different generations and different positions. Take Wilt Chamberlain for example, he was heads above players do to his height, so he could be a possible candidate as GOAT.Some say Bird should be in the mix along with Kareem. But yes Jordan will be up there and as much as I don't care for Lebron he should be considered too.Just everyone has a different opinion.

Actually six: LEBRON JAMES' 10 TRIPS TO THE FINALS: 2007 FINALS: Spurs win 4-0 over Cavs 2011 FINALS: Mavericks win 4-2 over Heat 2012 FINALS: Heat win 4-1 over Thunder 2013 FINALS: Heat win 4-3 over Spurs 2014 FINALS: Spurs win 4-1 over Heat 2015 FINALS: Warriors win 4-2 over Cavs 2016 FINALS: Cavs win 4-3 over Warriors 2017 FINALS: Warriors win 4-1 over Cavs 2018 FINALS: Warriors win 4-0 over Cavs 2020 FINALS: Lakers win 4-2 over Heat In all fairness to Lebron he had to overcome some dynasties (Spurs and Warriors) just to get two championships in seven tries. Of course, Michael overcame dynasties like the Pistons just to get to the Finals and he had some epic games against teams like Utah. Both have had epic battles and are great players - too bad we couldn’t see them square off against each other in their prime.

Also remember that if Jordan hadn’t ‘retired’ to play baseball for almost two years he more than likely would have won 8 straight championships.
And Larry Legend……..well he’s The Man.
