Donovan looking to get a better shoe contract or something?

I have friends who try to argue this all the time. Jordan stans are just as insufferable as LeBron Stan's.

Mitchell isn’t used to defenders physically putting their bodies on the line in the crease and help defense so Jordan not being directly under the basket means he might as well have been in a different zip code

And then Stern and the refs gifted the bulls game 5

Oak got in foul trouble so early in the game for nothing. It’s like you blinked and he was gone

smith coulda went up to dunk with some force and maaaaybe they coulda called something on the bulls. unpleasant game

It's a stupid argument, actually. I'm actually a Jordan fan, and I appreciate that he didn't go all DLee and actually get out of posterization range immediately.
A split-second earlier shift to the baseline and he probably gets that huge mitt on the ball and there is no "The dunk"...
