[QUOTE=RealKnowledge]Most people will be in denial and deny this. But ask anybody in Chicago Jordan's dad was killed from Jordan not taking his debt to the Mafia serious. The day after his father was killed Jordan payed the entire debt of the next day.[/QUOTE]
Yes, because I'm sure a person making $40-60M/yr really wouldn't pay $1-2M if their family's lives were threatened. :rolleyes: :hammerhead:

I find it funny how people say "everyone in Chicago" knows this. Its like Chicago is one of those small towns where everyone knows each other, and some juicy news like this wouldn't get out on a national scale because of that.

Don;t make up numbers. At that point his NBA salary was 3 million dollars. I doubt he got 57 million in endorsements. Lmao. You can even read articles. He owed them 900,000 and kept trying to bring the price lower. If he didn't feel like he had any connections to his Murder. Why go leave Bball and chase Baseball which your horrible at just to do what your Pops wish you played? Guilty Conscience?

this about sums it up. end this silly thread.
for the record, russell is notoriously rude to fans who approach him and refuses autographs. magic cheated on his wife and had careless sex, possibly infecting other girls with HIV, bird had a daughter whom he refused to acknowledge early on in her life. kobe was accused of rape and then snitched on a teammate to the police. kareem was caught with drugs.
does it matter? does it affect their status as legends? nope.
you Jordan detractors are idiots. no sh*t he wasnt a soulful nice guy to teammates. you dont become the GOAT unless you have that "f*ck you, i'm taking over" attitude. this same thread can be made for every all time great save for David Robinson and Tim Duncan.

By that time, he had already several endorsements and even owned the Jordan shoe brand.
And according to this site: [url]http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/j/jordami01.html[/url]
He was making 4 million that year.
Total salary from his rookie to that year is around 16.7 million.
lets say 20% tax cut his total paycheck is around 13.36 million.
even if you subtract around 3 million from gambling that's still 10.36 million.
If we subtract lets say 7 million from his living expenses, that is still 3.36 million to spend throughout his life.
That is excluding his investments, endorsements and other expenses.
note: Income tax % is made up, don't really know how much the income tax those years.
Why would a man with that much money refuse to pay if his father was threatened? And why did they kill Jodran's father? Rather than take him hostage?
[QUOTE=Andrei89]Jordan saying white men can't play. I guess he never heard of Larry birdz[/QUOTE]
You clearly didn't understand the quote. Especially if you read books on Jordan. His favorite player on the team, and most trusted allie was John Paxson.
His statement was more a testement to white players than black athletes.
For the most part they don't have near the natural talent and athletic abilities, but they're harder working, and smarter than their black counterparts.
He went onto diss his black teammates as well.

Jordan was making $40M/yr in endorsements in the early 90's. Then add in his salary, investments etc.

[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]
I was just thinking that.
Or imagine if Kobe had punched Pau in practice because he didn't like a screen set on him.
Jordan is the best who ever did it, but his popularity would have severely decreased in today's society because it's not that people have to just like how you play, anymore; they also have to like you as a person now.
[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]
LOL, I don't know what school you went to, but at my old high school, you would've been eaten alive.
Our star player didn't talk to us like that, no way in hell we would let someone who wasn't even a consistent starter rip into us like that.
Hey MJ is the GOAT and he had killer instinct. Sometimes public ridicule is what you need to fire up your teammates. I've gotten into fights with my own teammates and everytime they start playing again they are playing ferociously. Yeah I look like the villain, but who cares when winning is all that matters to you. Prob not the right mentality for me, since I am playing for fun. But it's ok for him to do because winning is what got him paid.
And enough of those sound like he is joking around with his teammates. So calm down guys.
say what you want, all of those quotes are based off winning. The man simply just wanted to win.
lol @ this one

LOL <3 MJ. That quote describes a ton of fat, "big-baby" type PFs/Cs in the league today.
Big Baby
Stoudamire (not fat, but tall and can't rebound)
Shaq
Big Z
Dirk
Sad that Gasol, who is arguably less gifted physically than Dirk, stoudamire and shaq gets way more rebounds than all of those players.

How is Nowitzki physically gifted? Stoudemire and Shaq are/were very athletic for their positions, but I can't see why you would list Dirk as physically gifted.
Gasol is more gifted than Dirk, taller, just as mobile.

Wow the pussification of america is pathetic, oh waah jordan is a meany waah wahh, cmon I completely agree with what Jordan said and his whole attitude. You are a competitor and it is your job to compete if you aren't doing that then he would let you know about it. You didn't perform the way you should have? then you failed at your job and your boss will let you know about it. Except your boss doesn't have to be politically correct cus hes Jordan. Its sad how soft people are. Esp pro athletes nowadays.

Mike = Goat trash talker:lol
But that's exactly the point. Jordan talked like this 'cause he wanted to agitate his teammates. But he always said those things with a little smile on his face and a portion of humor in his words. This only shows how much Jordan wanted to succede as a team, not an individual player. Jordan really wanted to win with his team, his "boys". What a great leader!
Kobe jsut bashed his teammates, daid he wanted to be traded and so on. Cuase Kobe only cares about his personal glory, not his teammates. That's another thing which separates Jordan from Kobe.
Fun
Anyone have the pdf for the jordan rules book?

I hope you're joking.
Telling your teammates "You're shit and I don't know why you're in the NBA" isn't going to do anything but make your teammates resent you.
Someone should make a Kobe Rules book with his quotes in them. I'm sure they're as funny.
