:oldlol: @ Jordan ruining Mugsy's career. Cold ****ing blooded.
[QUOTE]Series was tied at 2 and Hornets had a chance to win game 5 in Chicago. On the biggest possession of the game, [B]Mugsy had the ball with the Hornets down 1. Jordan backed off of him and told him:
[QUOTE=Ancient Legend]Gotta love Jordan's epic thrash talking. I hope LeBron says something similar to to JJ Barea if the opportunity arises.[/quote]
There was an article this year in a recent ESPN magazine, and it asked random NBA'ers about whose the best trash talker. Apparently LeBron James isn't very good at it.
It also went onto say the players from the Celtics were very good at it, KG and Rondo specifically. One of the reason they got into team's heads. They went onto say maybe LeBron has to improve in that area (seriously) to get over that hurdle against the Celtics.
I only imagine the epic and cutting trash talk from Jordan, Bird and others only enhanced their mystique and legend on the court.
People would literally be shook facing them. And I mean if you can talk epic sh1t and then go back it up. How disheartening is that?
:oldlol:
[QUOTE=Ancient Legend]I wonder what MJ used to tell Reggie Miller to rile him up countless times.[/QUOTE]
Reggie was a great trash talker in his own right.
People used to get SO ANNOYED with him. His mouth actually got himself into a fight with MJ once. MJ shoved his whole face when they were tangled.
I'm surprised Mugsey got so shook by that trash talk, you'd think plenty of other guys called him a midget before too, lol.

Reminds me of the Paul Pierce passage in Bill Simmon's book, in which his coach warned him not to talk to a then retired MJ.
1. i don't think mj hated barkley. But I dont think jordan respected barkley as much as barkley did the other way around.
2. Jordan used to say about reggie miller: playing with reggie miller is like chicken-fighting with a woman.
The only athlete apart from jordan ever who's had the combination of wit and physical athleticism to back it up was Muhammad Ali. I wonder what would be like if these two in their primes were sitting in casino talking trash.
[QUOTE=Samurai Swoosh]Man, awesome stuff. Thank you for posting this ...
LOL @ MJ being jealous of Pippen's "package" down low.
And I knew it had to be something like that, or he was the man @ fukking because Pippen ALWAYS had a bad chick with him.
LMFAO @ MJ saying he secretly didn't like Barkely ("that fat fukk")
:oldlol:
Dude is utterly hilarious with the ruthless-ness
I knew about the Tiger thing. Tiger's ex-best friend said he got into banging all these women by hanging around and looking up to Jordan and Barkely.
We clearly understand now Tiger actually isn't very smart, and was SUPER reckless about things.
And Bach pretty much confirms what any knowledgable Bulls fans already know. Jordan basically molded Pippen into the player he eventually became, and that Jordan WAS the superior defender.
I wish I was friends with Jordan. Seems if you earned his trust, he was more than loyal to you. And probably fiercly protective. The thing he did for Bach was really nice.[/QUOTE]
:facepalm :no: [B]Phil Jackson put Pippen at Point-Forward and the Bulls won
^
*MJ did not wan`t Pippen at The Play Making, Timing, When To Pass When Not Too because he thought he was Better at that and HE WASN`T
Pippen Lead the Whole League in DRT (something that has never been done by a SF)
And Twice in the Play-Offs[/B]
:banghead:
funny read.
[SIZE="4"]BUT...
One thing that makes me think this is made up:
Rice and Mourning never played together, they were traded for each other in '95[/SIZE]
I guess Van Gundy was right about Jordan.

He befriended Barkley, and then ripped him apart. Anything for winning.

You kind of have to expect that, when one person tells another person a bunch of stories, and then that other person writes what was told from memory.
Tell, a story to somebody, then have that person repeat it to another, and then that person to another person, and so on, by like the tenth person, it's going to be significantly different.
you got this from rivals.
sorry to burst your bubble but these stories for the most part are made up.

yeah. exactly. probably 80% of those stories are just made up
and fu[I]c[/I]k that BS about Jordan "fake-friending" Barkley..
First of all, MJ didn't need to do that.. they were better than the Suns and second.. he could be an A-Hole on the court but I don't think he could be like that off the court and pull that kind that shyt.
great post man! thanks for sharing! :cheers:

Not that I don't believe you, but how so?
Has there been proof that these stories were made up? just curious before I make a fool outta myself in the future.
