The MJ beating MKG thing is one of the most ridiculous sports stories of the year.

It's ridiculous, but it's not really surprising. I bet MJ still has the best fadeaway jumper in the world.

Not to mention his D is probably still top notch. Plus he's a ton stronger now that he's fat. Prolly just posted him up every play and forced MKG to shoot jumpers.

For some reason, the other day i saw a video of Brian Scalabrine in an open 1 on 1 challenge in Boston with the public. He smoked the four best guys that he chose.

Yeah, 1-on-1 is really a different game. If you know what you're doing, you can practically post up from the top of the key and just back your man down. If you have a good post game with one or two pretty good moves, you're golden (at least offensively). The two best post moves that I've ever seen were Kareem's skyhook and Jordan's fadeaway. Unstoppable.

Dream shake is one of the best post moves ever, but somewhat stoppable if you don't buy the fake and keep your feet on the ground.
The sky hook and a perfected fadeaway like Jordan's will usually succeed no matter what you do on D. If the player is on, the shot is going in 99% of the time no matter what.

Jordan's fadeaway so so sick. He got so horizontal with his fade it was unblockable. And when he was hitting it, there was just nothing you can do about it. I remember him posting you up baseline very often and just juking em out of their shoes and hitting that fade away. His range on his fadeaway was unreal. Just in front of the arc. Even Kobe doesn't have that kind of range on his.
**** Jordan though.

I think about two things with Jordan's fadeaway.
1. How horizontal he got (like BBD said).
2. The way he would lean into his defender to see how he was being checked, and then he'd go in the opposite direction.
These seem like pretty simple and obvious things, but Jordan just turned it into an art.
And yeah, **** Jordan. #PistonsIn2015

Can't hear you BBD.
WMD, this exemplifies the pistons.

At least whoever is in charge of the audio was smart enough to realize that nobody wants to hear Fall Out Boy or 2 Chainz.

Fall Out Boy is there for the same reason that every single movie has a love story in it. Chicks watch too.
And the **** is up with this points system?
