    He clearly doesn't because the Nuggets were "overmatched after 2 games - the difference is the chemistry, which Ant's downhill game lacks and so the opponent has solved him.. defenses can live with 1 guy getting 40 if it's a down-hill 40 that leaves teammates out to dry
    .
    Why would you expect a team with an evolving 22 year old to have greater chemistry than a team whose core has been together for years led by a 10 year vet in the peak of his MVP prime, and who won the chip last year?Yes the Nuggets do and should have the chemistry/teamwork/experience edge, so what insight do you think you've provided? The Wolves punched them in the mouth and the Nuggets responded. It's a series. STFU and try watching a game in 2024 without thinking about how you can tear down every up and coming prospect in comparisons to MJ.

    20 year old Magic had great chemistry, so cut the bs age excuses... Unlike Ant, the 22-year Jordan's skillset wasn't restricted to a "down-hill" skillset that wasn't 5-man basketball... The 22-year Jordan was already fundamentally-sound and knew how to play 5-man basketball.. So the only reason that Bird/Magic were winning in the 80's is because they had help and MJ didn't... And now Ant has help but he's going to lose because he has the simpleton modern skillset (down-hill) - this fosters weak chemistry that needs collusions to win, and still mostly loses

    First, Magic is a top 10 GOAT. Ant is a 22 year old up and coming star. They're also different players in approach and you have several posts on here criticizing Magic being ball dominant. Magic also had MVP Kareem who was basically going to be the finals MVP until he missed game 6. Let's not act like Magic was playing with scrubs. Hell Tim Duncan had 2 rings at an age before MJ started winning. Players have different starts to their career, what matters most is how it all ends. Ant is 4 years in and 22 so yeah, STFU. You have no clue what this kid will or will not become yet.

    The only bullshit needing to be cut isn't on my end of the conversation
