"Justin Jordan reminds me a lot of his uncle Michael,"

Poor guy, grew up without his grandpa


R.I.P James R. Jordan Sr.

I've said it before but... of all the ruthless Michael Jordan myth stories, this one never made a lot of sense to me.

For starters, Muggsy Bogues grew up on the streets of Baltimore. I would put a significant amount of money on the notion that he was probably called a midget with startling regularity from his competition on the streets, in high school, college, and the NBA. It's the easiest and laziest insult to make in his direction. If I had to guess, he was probably over any and all short jokes by the time he was dominating folks at Dunbar. If nothing else, I imagine he used them as a form of motivation.

On top of that, taking into account that Jordan's supposed line took place during the 1995 playoffs, it's worth noting that, after Bogues blew his knee out and missed all but six games the following year, he returned to the hardwood and shot a career-best 41.7 percent from the arc in 1997 (and led the league in assist-to-turnover ratio).

I know, off topic and nothing about the above really matters. It's just my weird thing I point out every time I see that story pop up.

If MJ had 'pretended' to be Muggsy's good friend up until the mythical line, it would devastate him. MJ did the same thing to Barkley in the Finals.

If he shot better, doesn't it prove he took Jordan's line to heart?

Dell Curry wasn't a superstar, or even a star. He was one of the league's best shooters, but Steph is in an entirely different stratosphere even as a shooter.

I'm pretty certain that was a typo and Break meant to say better than his father.

Haha, in that case, there's no winning. If people went on believing Bogues' shot was terrible for the rest of his career they'd say, "Oh man, MJ broke his heart so much he couldn't shoot anymore". Yet, even when it's illustrated his shot was still very much in tact, it's just twisted into "Oh man, MJ broke his heart so much he started shooting better."

Either way, it's worth noting Bogues' three-point percentage jumped in part due to an increase in attempts per game (allowing himself to find a groove by attempting two a night as opposed to one every 2.5 games) and also because he was working with the closer line in '97.

Regardless of why his numbers went up, it should at least illustrate the line "Bach believes that single play ruined his career. His shot never recovered" holds virtually no truth.

And for what it's worth, I'd venture to say Muggsy's closest basketball friends probably poked fun at his height throughout his career just as well. It's not like MJ would have been revealing a secret to him at that time, as if Muggsy didn't know that he was short and thus vulnerable to insult until Jordan said something.

Lastly, if you were just joking about your comment anyway, it went right over my head. It's late and I'm not always great at picking up on sarcasm.

LeBron James Jr have more talent and skills than Jordan's entire relatives.

Would you like some pics of me to fap over?

>Anything related to MJ
>Good

Hilarious. It's a curse. MJ sucked out ALL talents and luck in his family for generations now. Spent it all in playing Bball.

you say that like it didn't earn MJ a billion dollars and set his future generations up for the next couple hundred years.

Guys like you love to lie on the internet. Why would I fap to your pic? I am better looking than you. I rather fap to myself in front of the mirror.

it's true, But they aren't even half as good as Mike. It must have hurt their egos.

it's gonna be funny when he grows up to be an alpha and dominate the league and bump LeBron James out of the top 10.

like 30 people in the world are.

so if he was a good looking guy then you'd do it?

[Combat Wombat]

He sucks, and a bench player.

Surprised you're not a fan seeing as you'd know a thing or two about that, Louie.
