I'd say most, tbh. Stars had more opportunity to do mischief with little fear of public scrutiny. Not that I blame them, btw.

A quick google search shows whatever that is goes off before the Bulls documentary comes on.
Don’t let facts get in the way of you looking for something to get upset about, board weirdo hg

Do you think most of the stars today are assholes? I would say no. Take the QB position during social media era for example.
Brady
Manning
Brees
Wilson
Mahomes
Rodgers
5 out 6 are generally well thought of

He has a strong, viable argument for it, that’s for sure

I wonder what LeBron will do or tweet to seek attention to himself and away from this documentary.
You people are insane

Ok that's fair, gotta throw Bill Russell in there too since he has 11 championships.
If someone wants to say that because of championships, Russell, Kareem and MJ are the ones in the GOAT conversation then that's fair.

Point taken. I also think the increased hyper-transparency of today with social media has made it so that the stars of today almost HAVE to be "cleaner" in order to attain such status in the first place. But I do see your point. Well taken

The amount of championships definitely helps but I always considered Russell in terms greater and more holistically than ring amount: superhuman elite defender, elite competitor, elite leader, elite point man for the famed Celtics fast break, elite player-coach, elite athlete, really elite at a ton of things over a long period of time. I don't place Russell at the very VERY top (he's more 5 all-time) because the stats aren't there but he's most definitely one of those cornerstone, mythical figures in NBA history and the embodiment of winning, can't be ignored.

And he was ready to tell it, right after another player (James) and another team (the Warriors) got dangerously close to challenging those legacies.
James, Warriors have 6 rings?

Imagine how old someone must be when throwing around the term millennial is considered an insult

Jordan is the biggest piece of shite a meagathlete I have ever seen in my lifetime.
Top 5 player and bottom 5 person

Internet user Wild Thang is like what would happen if Karl Childers was more interested in boarding than tinkering with small engines imo jmo

No one says f@g anymore. In fact, it’s against board rules. See you on the other side of ban land

However, like you said, I don't think Kobe was like that deep down. He was renowned as a good family man (Colorado aside, of course) and great dad, and he was also a legitimately intellectually curious person and in retirement had gotten into tech startup VC and all kinds of different projects. His film won an Oscar. Bill Simmons mentioned on his podcast that Kobe called him out of the blue one day because he was on a reading binge about leadership, and he picked Simmons' brain for a few hours or so on the subject. It sounds cliche, but Kobe was going to do great things in retirement because he was on a quest to become "more than just a basketball player," but not in the fake "I want to craft a narrative" way in which LeBron is.
But that's not Jordan. Again, it's a cliche, but what made Jordan so great at the sport of basketball and brought him to such heights has also bedeviled him in his personal life and in retirement. He's become the Michael Corleone of basketball. His pettiness, his vindictive nature, and his inability to get past any slight, real or imagined, seems to stay with him. He brought both his high school coach and the player who made that varsity team over him to his HoF induction to humiliate them publicly. He called people out. He said he felt sorry for his kids because they'd never measure up. That's downright sad.
i agree with this.
Jordan DGAF what you think of him as a man, he just wants to be the GOAT and doesn't care who he steps on to get there.
Kobe was a bit of a bitch on the court, but from all accounts spent the last part of his life loving his family and trying to create a legacy. I feel like the Colorado incident turned him around a bit.
LeBron (who is fantastic and IS top 5) lives in the shadows of those two and cares way too much what people think of him. I think he does a lot of good off the court, but his words when he enters the political and social realm are pretty cringy.

When Hehir interviewed Jordan's daughter Jasmine, she told him that when she was about to give birth, she asked her father what he wanted to be called? Grandpa? Pops? Grandpops?
Jordan thought about it for a moment, then said, "'Have him call me Michael.'"
This is amazing.

No; a 10 part documentary about a team who won 6 titles in 8 years has just started. MJ happens to be the best player on that team, but there was a good bit about other stuff in the documentary.
Lebron will have his own documentary soon, but it won't be about winning 6 titles or being 6X MVP of the finals
