Jordan Speaks On Load Managing

[url]https://sports.yahoo.com/article/michael-jordan-rips-load-management-090743682.html[/url]

[quote]“It shouldn’t be needed, first and foremost,” Jordan told Mike Tirico. “You know, I never wanted to miss a game because it was an opportunity to prove. It was something that I felt the fans are there that watch me play. I want to impress that guy, way up on top, who probably worked his ass off to get a ticket or to get money to buy the ticket.”

“You really cared about the guy who sat in the top deck of The Palace in Auburn Hills to watch you when you when you came to Detroit?,” Tirico asked.

“Yeah, because I know he’s probably yelling at me, I want to shut him up,” Jordan replied. “He’s calling me all kinds of names. I definitely want to shut him up.

“You have a duty that if they’re wanting to see you, and as an entertainer, I want to show, right? So if the guys are coming to watch me play, I don’t want to miss that opportunity. Physically, if I can’t do it, then I can’t do it. But physically, if I can do it and I just don’t feel like doing it, that’s a whole different lens.”[/quote]

MJ was the king of load management.

He took almost 2 years off in the middle of his prime.

Only a Bronie fluffer like yourself sees playing a second sport professionally as some kind of big negative.

Nice try.

He didn't play in the MLB.

He was on a minor league team.

Because he sucked.

This is it right here. Nothing worse for fans than paying $250-$400 that they don't necessarily have so that they can bring their son to see his favorite player...to then have them sit out. Really terrible.

I sometimes forget the level of ignorance I'm dealing with when it comes to you. Minor league baseball is, in fact, professional sports.

Yes, he did suck. Which is why he came back to basketball and three-peated a SECOND time. That's GOAT stuff right there. LeShrivel couldn't even three-peat a single time, much less make a minor league baseball team.

He wasn't even in the real minor league, he was in a league below that.

AA baseball

:roll:

:roll:[/QUOTE]

AA baseball is still the minor leagues. It was absolutely professional baseball.

What is also absolute is that he wouldn't have been on the team if he wasn't Michael Jordan.

Wow. You've just topped yourself in dumbness. :roll: And that is no easy feat.

Jordan speaks on load management like he wasn’t an owner of a team with hella influence on the league?

Dude has literally been in upper management or an owner of a team 20 years now. So why did he let this happen?

As an executive why did you allow the league to trend this way?


Please answer the question Mr so called GOAT.

It was definitely nepotism....... Elvis had more hits than MJ

[QUOTE=Hey Yo;15040349]It was definitely nepotism....... Elvis had more hits than MJ[/QUOTE]

Interesting. I take it you're critical of net negatives then?


:lol [Let's see if he answers this one]

Elvis didn't have any net negatives, chico

MJ stans use Bronny as an example of nepotism, yet ignore the nepotism towards MJ when he decided to play baseball.

Yet, MJ's baseball play was so bad not even nepotism could get him to AAA baseball, much less playing in the MLB.

Ouch.

Funny thing is, MJ was far better at baseball than BJJ is at basketball.

You Bronie fluffers don't have anything left to even cling to, do you?

Right, because the Birmingham Barons AA team is analogous to the Los Angeles Lakers.

[QUOTE=HoopsNY;15040393]Right, because the Birmingham Barons AA team is analogous to the Los Angeles Lakers.[/QUOTE]

Bronny was a basketball player before being drafted while MJ probably hadn't swung a bat in 20yrs. If James Jr is taking a spot of a more deserving player then that easily could be said MJ did the same thing. It was nothing more than a sideshow.

Yea, that's fair. Still not analogous in terms of the magnitude. It wasn't even a Triple A team. You're not wrong, but nobody cares about a AA team or takes it that seriously. I'm sure lots of players got 10 day contracts. Heck, I remember Master P had one. Big difference to what we see with Bronny.

[QUOTE=HoopsNY;15040393]Right, because the Birmingham Barons AA team is analogous to the Los Angeles Lakers.[/QUOTE]

Intellect is not 1987_Ragdolled's strong suit. He didn't even know that AA was minor league baseball or that it's pro ball.

And he didn't know that John Stockton was a great passer. So you should expect those kinds of low IQ takes from him.

He hadn't picked up a glove since junior high and hit .202 in double A ball

that's quite good

[QUOTE=3ba11;15040413]He hadn't picked up a glove since junior high and hit .202 in double A ball, and was coming on as the season wore on - that's goat athlete stuff[/QUOTE]

You're telling me MJ had not picked up a glove in over 15 years and was still signed by a baseball team?

And you same people bitch about Bronny?

LMAO

.202 is atrocious btw, probably would have batted 10 percent in the majors.

And Jordan was STILL a better baseball player than Bronny is a basketball player. :roll:

Jordan's .202 batting average is better than Bronny's field goal % this year. :roll:

Only difference is Jordan was playing against much worse competition, WNBA like.

The other difference was that Jordan wasn't the worst player in the AA league.

Bronny is the worst player in the entire NBA. Truth hurts, huh? :lol

Must be some achievement not being the worst player in the WNBA.

[QUOTE=1987_Lakers;15040424]Must be some achievement not being the worst player in the WNBA.[/QUOTE]

Bronny might very well be the worst player in the WNBA too.
