“One time we played in Washington. We played a five game series against the Bulls. It was the year they won 72 games. We lose all three games by a total of seven points. I saw Michael Jordan come into our locker room with a cigar, while it was lit, and said, ‘Who’s going to check me tonight?’ And we looked at Calbert Cheaney and we were laughing like little school kids knowing that Calbert Cheaney was going to get him, we knew it wasn’t a game for Mike. He was going to be there and he was going to be playing like he said. Game Three we get off the bus and Juwan (Howard) is from Chicago and used to workout there. I’ll never forget, Jordan was sitting on his Ferrari and Pippen was right there and they have a cigar lit. We get off the bus and we have to pass them with a lit cigar. You want to talk about posturing? Forget Phil Jackson. You got Michael Jordan there behind the scenes smoking a cigar before the game, letting us know that he’s the Red Auerbach before the game even started. It was almost like, ‘I lit the cigar. I’m celebrating already. This is just a formality, you guys getting on the court tonight.”

Shaq told the story to the Dan Patrick show, of how MJ dominated his teammate, Nick Anderson:

“I’m coming down. I’m going to dribble it between my legs twice. I’m going to pump fake and then I’m going to shoot a jumper. And then I’m going to look at you. And that’s exactly what he did.”

>>66543855
My favorite is the story about mugsy:

Though not a superstar mugsy was a good starting point guard, and of course really short. In the playoffs, with the chance to win the game mugsy has the ball and is guarded by Jordan. Jordan backs and says "shoot you fucking midget". Mugsy shoots and bricks. Mugsy later says that alone ruined his jumper forever

"In November 1995, during their expansion season, the Vancouver Grizzlies improbably found themselves leading the soon-to-be 72-win Chicago Bulls in the fourth quarter. After hitting a jumper to boost the Grizzlies’ lead with about two minutes left, guard Martin ran by the Bulls’ bench and said, “I told you we were going to beat you tonight.”
Jordan almost immediately stood up, checked himself into the game and, as he sauntered onto the court, said to Martin, “Little man, I told you not to trash-talk me.” Jordan then proceeded to obliterate Vancouver almost single-handedly – scoring 19 of his 29 points in the last 6 minutes."

"On March 28, 1990, Michael Jordan scored a career-high 69 points against the Cleveland Cavaliers. It was an intense game and the Bulls would win 117-113 in overtime.

Cavs’ guards Mark Price and Craig Ehlo combined for 57 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists and the Bulls weren’t getting much from anyone other than Jordan.

Even in situations like this, Jordan was talking trash to Ehlo saying the following:

“Listen man, I’m hitting everything, so I’m gonna tell you what I’m gonna do this time and see if you can stop it. You know you can’t stop it. You know you can’t stop this. You can’t guard me. I’m gonna catch it on the left elbow, and then I’m gonna drive to the left to the baseline, and then I’m gonna pull up and shoot my fade-away.”

Of course, Michael would do exactly that and hit the shot and there was nothing Ehlo could do.

Jordan’s full stat line that game looked like this: 69 points, 18 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals, 23-37 from the field, and 21-23 from the free throw line."

Check his stats, he played very well against the Bad Boys. The rest of the Bulls disappeared. That is why the Piston's made the Jordan rules. They would basically run 2 and sometimes 3 guys at Jordan, and force someone else to beat them.

I saw Michael Jordan at a grocery store in Los Angeles once. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.

He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”

I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

Jay Williams...
In his rookie season, Williams played against Jordan, who was then with the Washington Wizards. Jordan went at Williams on several consecutive possessions. Each time, Jordan told Williams how he would score—first over the left shoulder, then fake over the left shoulder and shoot over the right, and so forth—and each time, Jordan scored exactly as he said he would.

Same here.

The days when it was damn near hand to hand combat in the paint and players went to the basket with an attitude. I remember a game once when Bernard King of the Knicks damn near took Jordan's head off and didn't even draw a foul. Naturally, Micheal just got up off the floor and proceeded to destroy New York.

i'm not sure how that makes it unwatchable, it's till very competitive and these guys are trying to beat each other. LeBron is the most villified player with regards to being buddies with the opposition, and his performance/effort in last year's finals was pretty legendary.

Also, the dream team happened, m8, which really runs counter to this retrofitted version of the heated rivalries of the time.

"Once during the playoffs, on the day after a grueling overtime game, the team was ready to start practice until Michael looked around and noticed one guy was missing. "Where the hell is Burrell?" he barked.
Scott Burrell, a part-time player at best, was in the training room. Michael stormed in there, where poor Scott was on the table getting treatment for an alleged hamstring issue. MJ grabbed the table -- with Scott still on it -- and completely flipped it over.
"I just played forty-eight fucking minutes last night!" Michael roared. "Everything's killing me, and you have a fucking hamstring? Get your fucking ass in the fucking practice now!"

"Steve Smith and Michael Jordan loved to get into each other's ear, but on one particular day, Smith remembers hearing Jordan just counting down. “He said something like ’38’ and I didn’t get it. Then he said ’36,’" he recalls. Eventually, Smith realized that Jordan was counting down from 40 points, which apparently was his target goal."

>>66599241
No.

He was so insanely popular it was beyond belief. The Bulls during the Jordan era routinely sold out games in the opposition's home court in places where a sellout wouldn't happen all season.
>>
>>66538601
Jordan actually won every fucking year and was alpha as fuck so it would be hard to shit on him. The only fun would be the beginning of his career when he had those shit teams and relied on athleticism alone. He'd be hyped as fuck and lose every year like Lelbron. But once he started foreverpeating, the only haters would be guys talking about muh Kareem. The best time would be him retiring halfway through his career.

I only appreciated him after he came back from retirement and even then not until the playoffs. But honestly I think Peyton is a better comparison from a player standpoint even if he didn't get the rings.

bet he caught a lot of shit for being as black as he is coming from where he came from. probably was insecure af after going from a dark skin dude to a rich dude in the highest of society. probably thought he had to act like that. who knows though.
>>
>>66604151
Or the story of how he never tips. And he was in a back room high stakes poker match with other players and Wayne Grezky. Jordon gives their waitress a $5 tip in poker chips. Grezky calls the girl back over, takes the $5 chip, then takes a $100 chip from Jordon's pile and gives it to the girl and says to him 'This is how we tip out here'

90s basketball in general

>99 New York Knicks in finals
>get blown out by a small town in Mexico named San Antonio that no one knows about

there home court games had like 3000 people tops back then, they earned respect after all these years so good for them i guess

No
Curry is going to be a GOAT at this rate but not yet. Not even close.

lebron probably would have been fun to watch if he played in the nineties
>>
>>66604367
Gretzky is just as based as MJ but he's not a raging cunt like Michael either.
I've always liked the great one
>>
>>66604693
he's still fun to watch though
>>
>>66604693
Lebron is possibly the best physical specimen the NBA has ever seen though. He's huge.
I would love to watch him play ape hoop back when it was still a rough contact sport.
>>
>>66604151
Considering he's been a team owner for years now, meaning his word is what goes.
His position alone guarantees he won't have softened one bit.

Like 99% of top athletes are gigantic dicks, most of them just have been trained to keep it under wraps.
The stories about Jeter's gift baskets to his one-night stands are BEYOND creepy to me. That shit just reeks of treating all women as whores to me.

I'm not one to go around posting >lol they're just whores but seriously, they're almost all whores. My friend was in school at Georgetown and he'd go to Orioles games with girls from his class and he'd they'd always go home with ball players.
Every, single, game.

/sp/ would like him more than Curry

Jordan would hit shots all over the court or dunk and attack the best opposing player where Curry just shoots bombs most of the game
>>
>>66539477
He's clutch as fuck so instead of just laughing at how he's supposed to be the """"GOAT"""" like everyone did with Lebron when a stoner, a retirement home and a memer who spams threes BTFOd him out of the finals again an again.
>>
would jordan have been a better soccer player than he was a baseball player. i heard he was miserable as a baseball player
>>
how come all of jordans kids made such shit athletes. his first three kids pursued sports but none of them werent even good enough to get regular minutes in college

After one of the Bulls' practices in 1997, Scott Burrell, Jordan's teammate, challenged Jordan to a game of one on one. They played and Burrell had a good chance to beat Jordan with the score tied at six a piece (going up to seven). Burrell had the ball, but Ron Harper who was watching the game on the sidelines called Burrell for traveling. Jordan got the ball back and without hesitation drove past Burrell and dunked the ball making it a 7-6 victory. Michael got the last shot to win, but Burrell was right up in MJ's face trash talking. MJ didn't say a word and just walked off the court. A few days later Burrell convinced MJ to play again, but Jordan won easily this time. Again, Jordan just walked off the court without saying a word. But Burrell couldn't keep his mouth shut. Burrell said to MJ, "C'mon, let's go back out there and finish this!" Jordan replied, "You just want to play so you can go tell your kids when they grow up that you beat Michael Jordan once. What am I gonna tell my kids? I beat Scott Burrell? Big deal. They'll slap the hell out of me."

no drive to get anything because you grew up in a 50,000 sq ft house

>>66549323
What are you smoking? Jordan has the biggest earnings out of any retired sportsmen. He earns more now than most active, professional athletes.
>>
>>66544633
This story is fake af though, Muggsy denied it himself and if you look at his stats there is no noticeable drop in shooting
>>
>>66599995
>There are people (Well, san fran white/chink fags) that think curry is better than Jordan.
>>
>>66538601
I was around in the 90s. I loved him
>>
>>66604615
He was trying hard with mediocre shooting % though, especially in his first year with Washington.

Still better than what Bryant is doing.
>>
>>66538601
He's a horrible sour person and no one who knows him wants to be around him, s it's not really a fair question. Also: he and Stern destroyed basketball by working hard for a decade to make one player bigger than the team, bigger than the game, bigger than the sport.

ALSO: how's his father?

The reason folks hate Lebeta is because he's all talk and no show. Constantly chokes on the big stage. 2 championships in 6 tries. Jordan talked a lot of trash, but had the numbers to back it up. If 90's /sp/ existed, Jordan may have been hated, but still respected.

You can be the biggest asshole in the world and everyone will put up with it as long as you operate on an elite level. Anyone could say what they want about Jordan now, but he was THE best back then and there was simply no arguing that fact.
>>
>>66598547
Simply put, that is the main difference between Jordan and Lebron. Jordan's trainer Tim Grover noted that you could easily tell when Lebron has mentally checked out of a game.
>>
>>66604823
So I'm assuming you wouldn't try to sleep with a wealthy, famous, and attractive women if given the chance? If you think only a whore would do that, then 99% of all people are whores.

they also play different positions and have different roles. pretty essential desu

Literally zero chance that ever happened. Kill yourself my man.

>>66604051
You're half right. Back in the 80s people thought Jordan was a show boat, but once he started winning titles and was clearly the GOAT he was pretty teflon, which he remains to this day.
>>
>>66604707
He's fun to watch lose, that's it. His game is shit and borderline unwatchable.

>>66604719
Literal size queen and a cuck.

To watch Jordan play is to love him.

Killer instinct, steel will, balls a fire, he had all that & amazing all time perimeter defense.
>>
bunch of casuals would be screaming "wahhhhh tough defense and aggressive personality is ruining the sport forever I wish we would go back to players being unskilled and sloppy"
>>
>>66544633
story is fake.
>>
>>66609405
Both eventually had teams built around them. Difference being that Jordan actually delivered when it counted.
