Could Prime Michael Jordan Average 40 PPG in Today’s NBA?

With today’s pace, spacing, and freedom for perimeter players, some would argue Prime MJ could easily put up 40 points per game in 2025. In 1986–87, Jordan averaged 37.1 PPG without a three-point shot being a big part of his game. Add in modern spacing, fewer hand-check rules, and more free throws for stars — and the numbers might skyrocket. Is 40 PPG realistic in today’s NBA? #MichaelJordan #NBA #GOATDebate #ScoringChamp #NBAHistory #NBADebate #BasketballTalk #Sports

Who’s the 3rd Greatest Point Guard of All Time?

Magic Johnson and Stephen Curry are the clear consensus top two. But the race for #3 all-time PG is wide open. Unlike other positions, the top title-winners at PG (KC Jones with 8, Bob Cousy with 6, Derek Fisher with 5) aren’t usually in the convo. Among the usual candidates: Isiah Thomas (2 rings) Jerry West (1 ring) Oscar Robertson (1 ring, triple-double season) Steve Nash (2× MVP, 0 rings) John Stockton (all-time assists & steals leader, 0 rings) Chris Paul (0 rings, but longevity & all-around greatness) So the debate comes down to what you value most: titles, MVPs, stats, or overall impact. Who’s your pick for the 3rd greatest PG ever? #NBA #PointGuard #NBADebate #NBAHistory #GreatestPGDebate #NBALegends #Sports

Robert Horry Says Luka Doncic Can’t Be a Top 5 Player

Lakers legend Robert Horry gave his take on Luka Doncic’s all-time ceiling: “No, Luka would never make that… I’m old school. You got to be able to play defense for me. I love Luka’s game, but look at guys like MJ, Kobe, Olajuwon, Duncan, LeBron, Kareem. All these guys, to me, played on both ends.” Horry isn’t denying Luka’s offensive greatness, but he says the lack of elite defense keeps him out of his Top 5 conversation. Do you agree with Big Shot Rob? Is defense the dealbreaker for Luka’s all-time case? #LukaDoncic #RobertHorry #NBA #NBADebate #GOATTalk #Lakers #Sports #BasketballDebate

Was Wizards MJ Still a Top 10 Player in the League?

Michael Jordan’s Wizards run (2001–2003) is often remembered as a footnote — but was he still among the NBA’s elite? At age 38–40, MJ averaged: 21.2 PPG, 5.9 RPG, 4.4 APG Made the 2002 All-Star Game MVP Dropped 40+ multiple times, including 43 points at age 40 (still the oldest player to ever do it). The Wizards never made the playoffs, but Jordan proved he could still hang with the best. So here’s the question: did Wizards MJ still belong in the Top 10 players in the league conversation, or was he more of a star name than a true superstar? #MichaelJordan #Wizards #NBAHistory #NBADebate #GOATDebate #Sports #NBA

Can Kevin Durant Surpass Kareem on the All-Time Scoring List?

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar retired with 38,387 career points, a mark that stood as the NBA’s all-time scoring record for nearly 40 years. Kevin Durant currently has 30,571 points. That leaves him about 7,800 points shy of Kareem. The math: If KD averaged 22 PPG and played 65 games a season, he’d need about 5–6 more seasons to pass Kareem. At age 37 in the coming season, and with injuries limiting him in recent years, that seems a steep climb. Still, KD is one of the most efficient and consistent scorers the league has ever seen, so even if he falls short, his place among the greatest scorers in history is secure. So — does KD have a real shot at catching Kareem's all time scroing record? #KevinDurant #KareemAbdulJabbar #NBA #ScoringRecord #NBADebate #BasketballHistory #Sports

Larry Bird vs Kevin Durant

Two of the most unstoppable forwards the game has ever seen. Larry Bird: 3× MVP, 3× NBA Champion, a legendary playmaker and clutch shooter who dominated the 80s. Kevin Durant: 2× Finals MVP, 1× MVP, one of the purest scorers in league history with size, efficiency, and versatility. Both changed the game in their own way: Bird with his all-around skill and competitive fire, KD with his unmatched scoring arsenal.

Klay Thompson: “Mavs Have the Best Frontcourt in the NBA”

Klay Thompson is confident about Dallas’ ceiling this season: “I think we personally have the best frontcourt in the NBA when we're healthy…. And then getting a guy like D-Lo and having guard depth, I'm just really excited.” With him and Kyrie Irving in the backcourt, plus a healthy frontcourt rotation led by AD, Dereck Lively, and others — and now D’Angelo Russell adding guard depth — the Mavericks could be one of the most dangerous teams in the West. Do you buy Klay’s claim — best frontcourt in the league? #KlayThompson #DallasMavericks #NBA #KyrieIrving #NBADebate #NBANews #Sports
