Taj Gibson on LeBron James after Game 3

I don't get the Jordan comparisons.

Jordan = 6/6
LeBron = 2/5

[QUOTE=sdot_thadon]This is somewhat true, but to be fair [b]Mj was damn near begging madmax to settle down. He made him uncomfortable on the floor.[/b][/QUOTE]
I followed the NBA closely back then, I honestly don't recall hearing this, you got a link? I don't believe for one second Maxwell, of all people, (he wasn't that good) would unsettle Jordan, lol.

I'm not part of the MJ fans who go around saying players were too scared of Jordan and avoided eye contact, maybe there were some but I recall guys getting in MJ's face plenty of times like GP, Danny Ainge, McDaniel, Mahorn, Doc Rivers etc so I know that's not entirely true but I don't remember him being "punked" so if any of you guys got any links, I'd like to read them. It would make for an interesting read.

That's because there wasn't a comparison.

[QUOTE=TheMan]About Parish and Cartwright, if MJ got on their face and if they told him to step back son, then it is what it is. [/quote]

what does this even mean?

they asked jordan if he had a problem/wanted to throw down, and he walked away. accept it and move on. :oldlol:

[QUOTE=Legends66NBA7]That's because there wasn't a comparison.[/QUOTE]

its not about that, its about how actually good they are

[QUOTE=sportjames23]The [COLOR="Black"]f[/COLOR]uck outta here. MJ barked back at his little clown ass and then schooled him.[/QUOTE]
This is hilarious.

Well around these parts the urban legend is no one gave him more trouble than Maxwell, I'm sure there's a bit of hometown embellishment but he was far from invincible lol. Anyhow here ya go. I woulda thought this made it's rounds earlier in the season....

[QUOTE] "I wanted to fight him, really," said Vernon Maxwell.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE] "(Jordan) used to talk to me all the time during the games," Maxwell said. "He'd say: 'Aw Max, this is what the media wants to see. Don't mess anything up. Don't do this. You don't have to do that. Why you doing this? Let's just play the game.' That's why I knew I was under his skin. Oh yes, I know it.[/QUOTE]

Maxwell can say what he wants but numbers suggest he is lying...

what do numbers have to do with it? Swish said that everyone feared MJ and were scared to say anything to him.
This proves that it wasn't true. going by your logic, noah's shittalking doesn't matter either because he is a nobody compared to lebron as a basketball player.

Decide on one thing and stick to it.

WTF does Noah have to do with this? :biggums:

In the quote above my previous post (I should have quoted it, I was just lazy), Maxwell says he knew he got under MJ's skin, yet the numbers + the link to the story I posted about the game in '96 proves MJ had no problem destroying Maxwell just like he was destroying everybody else at the time.

all these comments in this thread have been replying to Swish's comment that everyone was scared to say anything to MJ when it wasn't true.
Thankfully, 90s were the best times. Just enough media to make you famous but not enough to keep bringing skeletons out of your closet.

MJ's extracurricular activities would be reported everyday if he played now. Camera phones plus social media and internet will mean that no parent will tell his child to be like mike. Horace grant himself said that he is thankful that camera phones weren't there in the 90s otherwise bulls would have caught some major shit.

MJ stans taking heavy Ls in this thread:roll:

It doesn't affect me on the least, you on the other won't even address the fact that Terry and Marion punked LeBron and called him a bitch, on the biggest stage. You're so shook you won't mention this at all (if you even answer). So let me ask you again, what is your opinion on the Terry/Marion punking of LeBron?

[QUOTE=TheMan]It doesn't affect me on the least[/quote]

nobody asked about your feelings. under jordan fans line of thinking, did he punk out against parish/cartwright or not? simple question.
