I just don't understand that attitude when you've proven yourself to be the pinnacle of your craft and you have so much admiration and respect from your peers and a generation of kids, not to mention the incredible amount of money he's earned. It makes no sense to carry any bitterness around with you.

The only thing that I can think of that would make someone like him so bitter is the death of his father. That would be a pretty jarring thing that changes someone's attitude, but I haven't lived his life and gone through what he has, I can only speculate.

'It's been said by Charles Barkley that Michael Jordan is extremely cheap and does not tip at restaurants. According to Charles, he and Michael passed a bum on the street asking for money and didn't give him a dime. Charles gave him a couple bucks. When Charles asked "Why didn't you give that guy any money?" Michael just replied "Look if he can ask me for money, he can say CAN I TAKE YOUR ORDER PLEASE?"'

On this, I agree with MJ. As for the rest, you can tell a lot about someone by how they treat people that are beneath them socially or economically - waitstaff, valets, etc. MJ is an a-hole. Not all great athletes are. MJ would have been like this if he was the 10th man on an NBA roster.

The fact that people are STILL writing articles like this about him, over 10 years after he retired, just continues to prove he was the GOAT.

So, without reading this thread...is itanything other than some Lebron bandwagoner trying to besmirch Jordan?

I saw Jordan up close when he played baseball. He bought the Double A team a bus, but I think it was because he didn't want to ride in the crappy one they had. He got pissed at one of my writers, called him out at a press conference, but it was tongue and cheek. After watching him in BP, the writer was right, whereas after watching Bo Jackson take Double A BP it was obvious as he took 9 out of 10 balls to the opposite field on a rope that Bo was the real deal. Jordan couldn't hit, period.
The one thing that stood out, though, was the way he treated his fans, the ones who loved him, especially the very young. That was sickening.
But again, this is old news.

Article is pretty spot on.
This is absolutely true as well.
And FTR, I was one that grew up as a kid idolizing Jordan. Watched Come Fly With Me many times. Loved the If I could be like Mike song. Modeled my basketball game 100% after Jordan. Even to the point of being a "ball hog".
Anyway, I still like Jordan and am not sure if LB is better though I suspect he is. But article is on point.

That chamillionaire thing was funny. I watched that many years ago.

I don't buy it. Why would the coach lie about it for twenty years? I think it's more believable that someone who is an alcoholic loon decided to try and flip the script on Jordan. Not saying Jordan isn't a jerk most filthy rich people are complete assholes when a camera isn't in their face.
