Why somebody so beloved and revered has to be such an a-hole? He's world famous for this type of shyt.

Well, it's the ego. All that fame got to his head. He goes around being called the GOAT everywhere he goes. It's too bad his head is inflated now.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

I believe it...

Thats why I never liked Jordan. I will tell you all day that he was the greatest player that ever played but that doesn't mean **** about how I feel about him and his Jordan Brand. I know people and know of people that got shot, stabbed and beat down over some Jordan sneakers. Murdered over sneakers. His shoes come out in limited quantity and still sell for up $200 and more depending on the shoe. He doesn't care. To me thats his legacy as a human being. All the blood spilled is on his hands. God have mercy on his soul.

Real talk --- even for somebody that lusts after other men. I remember the quote where somebody asked Jordan does he feel an obligation to the black community that loves him so and is literally dying to wear his shoes and he was like "republicans buy shoes too" or some shyt.

Duke is very insecure. Like a tortured genius. Notice how he took the opportunity to settle petty grudges in his induction speech last month.

I loved how his Hall-of-Fame speech was basically an extended version of "I'm better than you."

The guy who made those funny sound effects on Police Academy was the man. He was also in a tv series about some high school basketball team. I forget the name of it but it was funny. Not Hang Time.

Otherwise, everything I hear about Jordan is not good. He's developed such a bad reputation, I'm surprised he still has this ego of his.

wow, that was sad, but I believe him. Jordan can be grimey. From all the stories about how he was abusive to teamates during his bulls days, to his gambling, to his pompous ways, I am not suprised. the NBA protected jordan as the golden boy for years , but he is grimey and rude... wow, I have lost a lot of respect for this cat over the years..

jeez what more does one man has to do-- he's created millionaires and thousands of jobs if you think about it. he is one of the few captains of industry. him and magic johnson didnt just leave the nba and coast on their past achievements, they built companies and trailblazed paths for others to follow to build their own companies.

lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

every player that signed multimillion dollar shoe deals. jordan's first shoe deal didnt even crack seven figures. for good reason, before jordan there was no single player that ever showed s/he could have such an impact on retail sales to warrant a seven figure deal. lebron became a millionaire before he even inked his first nba contract, thanks to all the merchandising deals he signed from shoes to cloths.

He didn't create the millionaire though. They were already going to make the millions from the rookie wage scale. He made the rich richer.
