Gilbert Arenas says Michael Jordan was the ‘best player ever’ before he won a ring: “People don't realize that he got the Jordan logo in 1988. They took the wings off and said you got Jordan. That whole campaign is considered the greatest individual year anybody could have had. That's when he became the best player ever. There was no ring. The rings is just what they get to use now. Six rings. It was just the way he carried what we have now. Solo mission. It's hard to beat solo missions with stats.” (via @PodcastPShow, h/t @Ballislife)

Gilbert Arenas says in 1988 Micheal Jordan became the best player ever before he won a ring. Paul George: "The greats, MJ six, Kobe finished with five. At this point LeBron didn't have any. He makes the move to another team. Now it's like I'm in that conversation. Now you look at KD. KD leaves. Let me get into that conversation. You think that's kind of where players got the idea of sh** if rings is what matters, I need to go to another team." Arenas: "That's what started everybody leaving but it's a fake door. Because those guys in it are in a whole different door. That's the problem, oh this is the Goat door. You win some rings and Michael Jordan ain't in here y'all. He's somewhere else. As players, we're factoring in our numbers and rings. I beat him in every stat. Why aren't you putting me in front of him? The answer is MJ was the NBA. Magic and Bird held it. They made it exciting back when it started. When Bird and Magic were battling and when Jordan came in. What they seen was a whole different animal. You're seeing something that is different, moves different, talks different, approaches the game different, swag and phenomenal." Arenas: "This is the best thing we've seen. I don't give a f*** what he does. This is the best player we've ever seen. It was the eye test. 1987-88, He literally went from the wings (Jordan shoe) they took the wings off, he got the logo. They gave him a logo in '88. People don't realize that he got the Jordan logo in 1988. They took the wings off and said you got Jordan. That whole campaign is considered the greatest individual year anybody could have had. That's when he became the best player ever. There was no ring. The rings is just what they get to use now. Six rings. It was just the way he carried what we have now. Solo mission. It's hard to beat solo missions with stats." Arenas: "LeBron could win six rings right now. They aren't giving it to him." Paul George: "Yeah" Arenas: "You're not giving a dude who started this joint. So basically everybody is fighting for second. Like what is this? This is God right here" Paul George: "Everyone defends him too. He was doing that while being hand checked. He was doing that while no deep threes. He was doing that while everybody had to play defense. For why he is the greatest of all time." (Via @PodcastPShow )
