Why are you wasting your time with this nonsense? It's obvious some people on this board read to argue, not comprehend. UNC has been a power in college basketball for the better part of 70 years. Ring culture has ruined sports discourse, because people don't understand that there are tons of very good to elite entities that have consistently competed for titles, despite not having a billion rings. Context matters. UNC under Dean Smith was as good as there was, period. Anyone trying to argue otherwise isn't a serious person.
I was merely making a comparison between TTU and UNC, as in, TTU wasn't all that great before Mahomes, so his star power is magnified as a result. You can easily make the argument that Jordan wasn't even the best UNC player ever, their history is that **** deep, they have had so many outstanding players, players that won championships and made multiple Final Four runs. It's different when you are part of a machine, compared to being the unquestioned star.
People ignore the fact that Michael Jordan wasn't always the end all be all in regards to basketball players, there was a time when people could have legit arguments about him not being unquestioned GOAT at every level. Honestly, you can still have those arguments, as long as people like Bill Russell, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar exist.
Texas Tech:
•Mahomes: 16-21 record at TTU, 11k+ yrds, 93 TDs & 29 ints.
•Harrell: 28-11 record at TTU, 15k+ yrds, 130+ TDs & 34 ints.
Do u know the difference between Mahomes reputation at TTU vs. Graham’s rep? NFL success & ring culture. Lol.
We’re talking about a player’s name being on a college team’s jersey, or did u forget the premise? Michael Jordan is not just important to UNC, he’s important to shoe culture in general. No Michael Jordan, & there’s no Patrick Mahomes, Kobe’s, LeBron’s, etc. More importantly, if there’s no Jordan, then Nike doesn’t exist as it is. So the POINT was, if Jordan doesn’t have his name on the back of helmets & jerseys as a brand sponsor, including his own alma mater, then y in TF would Mahomes?
I’m amazed every time I come on CIS at the level of contradictions ppl can post in a single response. This **** said ring culture has ruined sports, while simultaneously admitting Mahomes is TT’s most famous alum, not b/c of what he
actually did at TT…..but…..b/c…..of…..winning……RINGS at The NFL level! This **** said u can make an argument that Jordan wasn’t even the best UNC player ever (speaking of his time at UNC), when QUITE LITERALLY Mahomes 100000% wasn’t the best TT player ever. Michael Crabtree, Graham Harrell, Kliff Klingsbury all run circles around Mahomes while at TT.
U know what they don’t run circles around at him at? The NFL. U know y? Ring Culture!
Man U cannot help but be entertained by this site. Anything for a cape, I tell u.
Oh, & as far as ur Jordan take:
Jordan’s first NBA nickname, which he debunked, was Captain Marvel. He debunked it b/c he felt it was disrespectful to Bird & Magic being a rookie.
•Bill has the rings but he don’t have the stats
•Kareem & Jordan r tied for the rings, but Kareem don’t have the records or individual accolades
There’s only one player in the Top 75 that’s:
•Undefeated as a Defending champion
•Can claim they made All NBA, All Def, Scoring Champion, MVP, Finals MVP, & All Star Game MVP in the same season
•Can claim being undefeated in ALL championship games, Collegiately, Professionally, & Internationally.
•Every Finals, he was the undisputed best player on both teams
Michael Jeffrey Jordan, The Be All & End All.
