Interesting quote from "The Jordan Rules"
This from Sam Smith's 2020 Introduction to his 1992 book [I]The Jordan Rules[/I]:
[I]There have been players with comparable skills to Jordan's, but there has never been anyone that combined them with his unbreakable spirit and seminal competitiveness. He outwitted people as much as he outplayed them.[/I]
He captures something there that you can't see in the stats, and people today don't understand if they did watch basketball in those days. Jordan had a presence on the court that dominated the game. Very few other superstars came close to matching it. Lebron never had it. Kobe never had it. Magic never had it. You could say Bird had it. Shaq had it for a short while. Players like Wilt....I don't know, because I wasn't watching basketball back when they played.

Re: Interesting quote from "The Jordan Rules"
This unbreakable spirit had to retire 3x. 1x because of mental fatigue, another because a little midget called Krauss bullied Jordan too much.
3rd time because he wasn't even an all-nba player anymore.
Jordan was also 1-9 without Pippen.

Re: Interesting quote from "The Jordan Rules"
That quote actually applies to Bron 100%.
Never before have we seen someone play 19 seasons, average 25ppg minimum for 18 of those seasons, 18 all nba teams.
Little did that author know he would be actually describing a player that was still 8 years old at the time the book was written. Fate.

You just keep showing off your low IQ. No intelligent person in his right mind would apply that quote to Bronie, the chronic loser. When did MJ ever have a series like Bronie did in 2011? Hint: never. The guy doesn't even have the mental fortitude to make clutch free throws.
Nice try. Try harder next time.

Furthermore, if you were literate, you would have read in the OP that it was in [B][SIZE=5]the 2020 introduction to the 1992 book[/SIZE][/B]. He wrote it 2 years ago, genius.

The casual braindead op seems to be unaware that his dad killer actually begged for stern's help in 1990. That's why the flagrant foul was implemented into the league bt. Stupid thread. Just another futile attempt to make people forget that he's been posting solely about lebron here most of the time.

Trump lost by 7 million votes to an old boring democrat that at most gets 200 people to show up to Biden rallies.
Humiliating defeat.
Trump never got over it and is still butt hurt about it.

Re: Interesting quote from "The Jordan Rules"
What was also in the book was that the Bulls wanted to sign Danny Ainge in the '90 offseason because he was one of the few players who would tell MJ to **** off and not pass it to him if he was playing outside the Triangle.

Re: Interesting quote from "The Jordan Rules"
The aura you're speaking about is one of the best reasons to be an nba fan, to watch a guy at the level where he puts it all together, Mj did it for a good stretch but he was far from the only one. Just in my time watching Dream did it for 94 and 95, Shaq during the 3peat. I thought Kobe reached it in 08 although he didn't win the chip. Lebron did it for a stretch between 2012- 2018 maybe even beyond. I'm sure Bird and Magic had their moments amongst others.

Re: Interesting quote from "The Jordan Rules"
Mental (approach and tactical) is what separates the superstars. You could never break Jordan's spirit on the court. He'd look for every edge and weakness he could find. Like a predator. No stat will ever encapsulate that intangible.

Most notably Detroit broke his spirit, he quit in a game agaisnt them. And I'd say Orlando did the same in 95 if you saw his face walking off the court. We're all too old for these bedtime stories and after school specials fellas. Mj was the absolute legend of our time, but he had a ton of things work in his favor image wise.

You probably never played sports, so you can't relate. Jordan's own coaches and peers have said the same thing. His quench for competition was abnormal. Having a bad game vs Detroit and a few mishaps vs Orlando didn't break him. MJ came back stronger and defeated both those teams. No "fairytales" there lol. That's just a fact.

Exactly. He had the last word against the Pistons when he destroyed them in the '91 playoffs and they infamously stormed off the court in a hissy fit. The Pistons never recovered from that. Jordan, on the other hand, went on to win the championship and then five more.
