Often referred to as a GOAT within the NBA planet, Michael Jordan therefore hardly ever escapes an all-time major five. It is however the treatment reserved for him by the famous rapper and co-founder of the Big 3, Ice Cube.
Seeing him escape the status of the best player of all time already scandalizes some. Serious contender for this title since the end of his career, Yet Michael Jordan felt for himself that he did not deserve it. On the other hand, its place in an all-time starting five seems for a long time assured, whether at the rear or on the wing.
Indeed, even when Kobe Bryant is chosen to evolve in position 2, the fans tend to reserve the position of winger for him. Ice Cube, however, decided otherwise. Unconditional fan of the Lakers, the former member of NWA has composed a five almost exclusively composed of legend angelinos, during his time in the podcast All The Smoke.
Damn … At the post of leader, I take Magic. My God… I should surely do one with just the Lakers. At station 2, I take Kobe. At station 3, I take LeBron. At station 4… Wow! I take … Tim Duncan. And at station 5, I take Shaq.
Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Tim Duncan, Shaquille O’Neal : of course, the selection of the co-creator of the Big 3 does not lack talent and prestige. In addition, the latter can not be fully attacked for possible favoritism towards the Lakers, since it includes the very iconic winger of the Spurs.
Nevertheless, the absence of Michael Jordan remains problematic. The latter indeed always or almost always trusts places higher than those of Kobe and LeBron in the historical rankings. To see him preceded by the two men therefore makes very little sense. Despite this, the renowned artist assumes his choices, and consolidates his presence at the top of the Lakers Nation.
Despite all common sense, Ice Cube therefore excludes Michael Jordan from his five major all-time. Even some of the most ardent supporters of the Purple & Gold would not have dared such madness.
