[QUOTE=LA_Showtime]My God. Just goes to show how the media can turn a fanbase against you. Can you imagine if Kobe or LeBron said these type of things and they got out to the public. :oldlol:
I particularly like the general manager comment.[/QUOTE]

Have any of you seen Will Purdue play? If you did, then you'd understand
MJ was funny as hell with these quotes.

smh
Some priceless quotes. :roll: I always loved Jordan's trash talking, Bird as well.
[url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjH4MCFjysw[/url]
Mike knows what's good.
Portraying Jordan as a neutral robot has got to be one of the most successful operations of all time.
Even when damning evidence is brought out, people still somehow can't see him for the low-class human being he is. Just happens to be the greatest at basketball, don't try to make him a great person.
Jordan
Bird
Chuck
Just love to listen to them trash. They're great at it.
Apparently so is Tiger but idk if he's gonna be sayin much now they can come back with some scandal stuff.

I still get goosebumps.
How about this quote:
Bird: “I think he’s God disguised as Michael Jordan.” - on Jordan scoring 63 against the Celtics in game 2 of their playoff series.
[QUOTE=BlueandGold]I still get goosebumps.
How about this quote:
Bird:
[QUOTE=Kblaze8855]This shit is just funny to me. Ive said worse to teammates of mine(football and basketball) and I wasnt Michael Jordan. I wasnt even the Michael Jordan of AA JV basketball. I was a part time starting 4 homeless mans Dennis Rodman....and ive said worse than that to teammates. If I were Michael Jordan good id have worn guys out.[/QUOTE]
sheesh... im glad i didn't play ball with you in high school.

Oh boo hoo, i bet all your friends think your a douche.
Part of what made Jordan amazing is who he was as a person and his drive. Its impossible to view Michael negatively. Jordan for president!!!
[QUOTE]Its impossible to view Michael negatively.
[/QUOTE]
jeez .....MJ jockers
minds are clouded by nostalgia
NEWSFLASH: the NBA's GOAT was an arrogant prick.
I don't view him negatively because of it. He did his thing and won a lot. In the end, you can't complain. Was he a jerk? Yeah. Did he externalize? Yeah. And a lot of the time he was just talking out of his ass.
"If I was a GM..." haha, oops.
People are different. His personality should not take away from his game. But just because he was good at a game doesn't mean he's a great person, either.
But it's funny how there is a line with true superstars... the ones that are supportive and the ones that try to use negativity as motivation. Of course, I'm sure people could pull out quotes by anyone and make it seem like they were a jerk. Like that whole Shaq thing he said about Chris Quinn...
I often wonder (while I am pondering why Jeff Jordan is such a mediocre player with his athletic talent) if he even treats his kids that way. I really bet he does.
MJ is like Denzel from He Got Game.

I heard that Jordan used to slap his teammates in practice. He was a very abusive individual.

those are the best quotes, I can imagine Scottie at his locker shaking his head disappointed when MJ walks over and says that

I agree. Nice guys always finish last.
Jordan with the great wit! :applause:

Once during a break in play Bird walks over to the opposing coach and says...

Its funny when Jordan hits his teammates and talks sh*t ot them and belittles the, Its "Nice guys dont finish last" or "Being nice dont get you know where"
But when Kobe does one lil thing he is a horribe teammate. :oldlol:
The hypocrisy on this website is too funny:oldlol: :oldlol:
People need to get off Jordans nuts
Another MJ quote
[QUOTE]Aww hell naw man, I ain't taking no pictures with no n****[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]I tell you what, you pay $15,000 right now for a jersey from me and i'll take a picture with you[/QUOTE]
larry bird's quotes are awesome aswell. one of my favourites
As far as playing, I didn't care who guarded me - red, yellow, black. I just didn't want a white guy guarding me, because it's disrespect to my game.
Leadership is diving for a loose ball, getting the crowd involved, getting other players involved. It's being able to take it as well as dish it out. That's the only way you're going to get respect from the players.
Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.
While day by day the overzealous student stores up facts for future use, he who has learned to trust nature finds need for ever fewer external directions. He will discard formula after formula, until he reaches the conclusion: Let nature take its course.

lol Jordan is straight clowninnnnnn. You gotta wonder what was said back to him, though. I couldn't imagine some of these players just taking it and not talking shit back. Then again, it IS Michael Jordan....
I figured MJ would have something to say about LeBron the other night and I could put it in this thread. Too bad he kept it cool.....
''right after the Bulls won one of their championships. Everyone was in the locker room celebrating the win, people were going crazy, and center Bill Wennington was crying. Jordan said "What are you crying for? I just won it for you!''
