Michael Jordan on shortening the NBA season: "I never thought 82 games was an issue."

[JT123]

i think jordan is petrified of lebron, tbh. one championship in cleveland and the "LeBron = GOAT" moniker would be nearly unanimous - of course jordan knows this and doesn't want lebron to have any competiitve advantages (see: jordan snitching on the knicks, by means of changing the way the games are called + superstar treatment).

ultimate bitch move by jordan , imo

It was actually the Pistons who Jordan snitched on, but other than that I agree with everything. Jordan stans will avoid this post like the plague because they can't handle the truth.

There's no truth in it at all and a few Jordan fans including myself have already responded. Its such an asinine statement, I assumed he was trolling.....Jordan dominated his entire career, winning aside, nobody can win 5 on 1 but Jordan came the closest until he got a team and great coach around him. To say Jordan is petrified of any other basketball player is absolutely ridiculous and I assume you guys know that...If not then I assume you both are trolling, young, alts, bored, or all the above....

Of course he doesn't want to shorten the season, he's an owner. He would make the season 365 games if he could, more money in his pocket

I think guys like Jordan and Kobe loved the competition that came with an 82 game season. More games to shit talk, more games to go for 50, more games to get better, etc.

Guys like LeBron just want to take a shortcut to greatness. He wants to get as much individual accolades as possible while having as little pressure as possible on his shoulders.

I agree with the bolded. And I assume Jordan was asked this question or did he just come out and start talking about? It would be no different if they asked Westbrook, Durant, or any player with a lot of heart and passion that also might be in their prime, they'd probably all say they want to play even more games. Many of these guys play ball in the offseason too because they just can't get enough, they love playing, doesn't matter if its the Rucker or the NBA. Jamal Crawford, Kyrie Irving, etc, Durant, all these guys play during the off-season also....

Lefraud at it again.

The only thing lebron is going to improve is his finals loss record.

They asked him about it in response to LeBron saying that 82 games was too much.

He was responding to dirk and lebron

Even if he won 10, the masses would still prefer Kobe. Get over it.
