Jordan ripping his teammates the classic quotes!

Quote:
........................"We're beating a lot of poor teams. So what? We won a lot of games last year, too. Will Horace and Bill still be playing at this level in the playoffs...Can Pip keep it up?"

Quote:
"I hate being out there with those garbagemen. They don't get you the ball."

Quote:
"They've got no idea what it's all about. The white guys, they work hard, but they don't have the talent. And the rest of them? Who knows what to expect? They're not good for much of anything."

Quote:
"I know what's gonna happen. We'll wait until the last minute and then they'll say something like they couldn't get a deal done because of the cap or somebody pulled out at the last minute. It happens here all the time. I don't know why I'm surprised every year."

Quote:
"He can't do anything with the ball. Don't give it to him." - Michael yelling at Paxson who passed the ball to Perdue

Quote:
"You ever hear of a guy, six-eleven maybe and two hundred sixty pounds, a guy big and fat like that and he can't get but two rebounds, if that many, running all over the damn court and he gets two rebounds? Big guy like that and he gets one rebound. Can't even stick his ass into people and get more than that...Big, fat, fat guy. One rebound in three games. Power forward. Maybe they should call it powerless forward." - Michael ripping Stacey King a new one

Quote:

I'll let them stand up and take responsibility for themselves."

Quote:
"I know I can recognize what to do, but I'm not sure they can."

Quote:
"You're an idiot. You've screwed up every play we ever ran. You're too stupid to even remember the plays. We ought to get rid of you." - Michael to Horace Grant

Quote:
"If you [pass the ball to Bill Cartwright], you'll never get the ball from me."

"It's probably a twelve-day. He needs two days to wake up." - Michael on a ten-day contract teammate

Quote:
"Five more years and I'm out of here. I'm marking these days on a calendar, like I'm in jail. I'm tired of being used by this organization, by the league, by the writers, by everyone."

Quote:
"They're not interested in winning. They just want to sell tickets, which they can do because of me. They won't make any deals to make us better. And this Kukoc thing. I hate that. They're spending all their time chasing this guy."

Quote:
"If I were a general manager, we'd be a better team."

Quote:
"Will Vanderbilt. He doesn't deserve to be named after a Big Ten school." - Michael on Will Perdue - AWESOME!

Quote:
"I want to prove the critics wrong...I want to see some serious moves from management, which I really haven't seen that much of yet, and I want to see more serious attitudes from my teammates this year when it comes to the playoffs. In the past, it's been more or less a joking thing, sort of a 'Well, we're here, so let's have a good time.'"..........

Quote:
"I'm sure everything will be fine if we win, but if we start losing, I'm shooting."

Quote:
"I know what I would do if I were coach. I'd determine our strengths and weaknesses and utilize them. And it's pretty clear what our strength is."

Jordan was so ... :pimp:

This stuff never fails to get posted at least once every couple of months. Hysterical. Someone on another board with access to the book showed that these all looked a LOT less bad when the surrounding context was included. Not to say MJ wasn't an ass -- he was -- just not as much as some of these quotes indicate.

:lol :lol :D That's a real Mike for ya all..,

After the Chamillionaire story, nothing MJ says surprises me anymore. :oldlol:

After 6 championships, these quotes simply become hilarious shit MJ said.

Man what an ass he was.

Still the G.O.A.T tho :rockon:

Question, what sources are you using for those quotes?

[QUOTE=Samurai Swoosh]Jordan was so ... :pimp:[/QUOTE]
Seriously, Cliff Clinckscales?

My rival has to have a name I can say with a straight face.:oldlol:

[QUOTE=Kellogs4toniee]

Pretty sure they're all from The Jordan Rules.

[QUOTE=Kellogs4toniee]Man what an ass he was.

The quotes are mostly from the book "The Jordan Rules," which was already one of the biggest hatchet jobs in history even without removing the surrounding context for these quotes, which makes them look even worse.

[QUOTE=phoenix18]Seriously, Cliff Clinckscales?[/QUOTE]
Dude, I can't stand him ... don't get me started

[QUOTE=Kellogs4toniee]Man what an ass he was.

He still is. :oldlol:

thats the way it is. you dont get there by being nice.

i found the quotes from RealGM

[QUOTE=OldSchoolBBall]these all looked a LOT less bad when the surrounding context was included.[/QUOTE]
No, they don't Loki. The book was written by Sam Smith at the peak of their feud. You know damn well these were the first real instances of seeing the type of person MJ was behind close doors, and they're not out of context. This book cemented the resentment between the two, Jordan knowing that it was a peak into the real person he was behind the curtain.

Embrace the reality of it, and its utterly hilarious. We all know Jordan was no angel. I think these quotes and aspect to his character make him all the more intriguing, rather than the Tiger Woods-esque robot they wanted to make him into.

Most of the put downs are well deserved, and spot on in their assessments.

true all the quotes are basically taken out of context, but still i found some pretty harsh like the one on Charles Davis:(

"hey you piece of sht, pass me the ball if you're getting doubled. You're the worst loser in the nba, heck i dont even know why you're still in the nba. You are a scumbag, the lowest of the low."

:hammertime:

[QUOTE=Samurai Swoosh]No, they don't Loki. [/QUOTE]

Yes, they do. Someone on another board posted the surrounding context for like 8-10 of these and they all looked a lot less bad in light of that context. Still bad in some cases, but not "OMG how did he say that!?" bad. Wish that board had a search feature.

this one is especially amusing:D

[QUOTE=U got Served]This won't end well.[/QUOTE]

OK, I'll start the first troll:

Man, if Kobe or LeBron were like this they'd be even better. Kobe should use one of these for inspiration next time Farmar looks him off or Gasol goes up soft and gets rejected by a guard. LeBron should bust into Mo for being a little ***** and West for being a psycho.

/trolloff

He's joking half the time

:roll:



Some of my favorites


"You're an idiot. You've screwed up every play we ever ran. You're too stupid to even remember the plays. We ought to get rid of you." - Michael to Horace Grant


"They don't need a ticket to watch you sitting on the bench. They can go to your house for that." - Michael to Charles Davis who was sorting through his tickets for his family and friends

"I hope there's a jumpshot in there." - Michael to Stacey King who was walking into the locker room with a box


"You ever hear of a guy, six-eleven maybe and two hundred sixty pounds, a guy big and fat like that and he can't get but two rebounds, if that many, running all over the damn court and he gets two rebounds? Big guy like that and he gets one rebound. Can't even stick his ass into people and get more than that...Big, fat, fat guy. One rebound in three games. Power forward. Maybe they should call it powerless forward." - Michael ripping Stacey King a new one


Damn MJ was ruthless! I respect that though......




If Jordan played today, with all of the intense media coverage and internet discussion, he'd probably be hated just like Kobe.

Shyt hasn't changed. Its just technology nowadays makes it easy for ANYBODY's business to be exposed.

I can only imagine the dirt that was going on in the NFL before forums, blogs, etc.

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.

Bill Cartwright promised to break Jordan's legs:eek:

lol harsh

The Jordan Rules was not a hatchet job. It was just an honest behind the scenes look at the team. There was a lot of positive stuff in there about Jordan but nobody remembers any of that.

I remember one funny quote that i didnt see listed. Jordan was yelling at a teamate for not passing him the ball.

Teamate says "But MJ, you had two guys on you."

Jordan "Yeah, but one was Fred Roberts."

you know MJ had to be :lol as he was saying half of this stuff.

I wonder the type of stuff Kobe has said.

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.

Jordan's HOF acceptance speech was pretty bad too.
