    Default Jordan Speaks On Load Managing

    https://sports.yahoo.com/article/mic...090743682.html

    “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.”

    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

    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. 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.
