T-Rex versus an orca.
Who wins.

It's a trick question. It's possible that T Rex could hit notes with frequencies that would thwart an orca attack.

It's also possible that the orca could love their sound and they become instant friends.

Show me a video of Dike Eddleman dunking like TSJ
Edit: Spelling
This gets confusing because the dunk was not legal for so many years. IIRC, it was legal during Dike's time but seldom used.

That’s awesome that they made you say that. But no, I am not wrong. You are objectively wrong my man.

Every single stat you can think of shows that kids going into the NBA and playing in college today are significantly faster, quicker, stronger, and can jump higher than kids even 10-15 years ago and DEFINITELY more than kids 20-30 years ago. That is the objective truth. Don’t believe me, google is free.

Relative to who they were playing at the time, sure maybe more athletic. In a straight up comparison 1 on 1 to TSJ, no. Maybe because the people they were playing were so unathletic compared to kids today, they LOOKED more athletic but that’s about it.
I'd agree with that.but I'd definitely say shooting and overall basketball fundamentals have went down in the same span.it seems like the game today alot of times comes down to athletic ability rather then playing the game ball fakes good passing almost seems like a thing of the past

I don’t even know what this means?
I was commenting on the fact that no matter what you showed them, or whatever you said, there were guys that were not going to budge. You could have shown them a clip of past players dunking taking off from the 3 point line, and it would not have made any difference. Hard to have any kind of intelligent debate when one side refuses to accept the possibility that they may be wrong. We seem to be living in a world that is trending heavily toward rejection of any and all evidence that is not in favor of whatever point a person wants to make. Sorry that it was a bit vague...

I mean, you could say that about the people who are insisting players aren't as good as they used to be, too.

You may have heard of this David Thompson guy, MJ thought he was the greatest explosive leaper ever. I will go with MJ's opinion. Hope the link works.

Thompson definitely one of the most explosive I’ve ever seen.
