I used to work for his big brother. He's a bitter, bitter man. Made it to the top of his field and he'll always just be MJ's brother.

He and his father also gambled millions on games Mike was playing in. Which apparently his dad wasn't real good at since he got capped to death when he couldn't pay the vig. Then David Stern finds out about it but sweeps it under the rug and merely banishes Jordan to professional baseball for a year and a half. Then he gets welcomed him back to the NBA and not a word was said. The GOAT
Don't know how true all of that is, but if it is......that shite is baller as frick!

I'd be bitter too. Every time you meet someone they ask 100 questions about your brother?

He pretty much showed us if he went with baseball instead of basketball he'd have been great.

Lot of people underestimate the impact that social media would have had on him. Gambler, punching teammates, taking free throws with his eyes closed. Players today would be crucified today for that.


It's quite pathetic how serious people take their sports these days.

Well, to be fair, he'd be dropping 60pts a night in today's NBA so he'd have a lot longer leash than you think.


How do you figure he would score 60pts a game when there are much better athletes in today's game? He was ahead of his time for sure, but would never be dominant at his size in today's NBA. I'd give him a 20pt avg.

I watched Jordan my entire childhood and I watch the NBA frequently. I'm just not blinded by someone being my "favorite player" or losing perspective due to nostalgia. Look at today's NBA players, they are much bigger, faster, and stronger... Almost EVERYONE is a freak athlete in today's game. Do you deny that LBJ is bigger, faster, and stronger? Do you deny that Steph Curry is a better shooter? Don't get me wrong, not saying either player is "better" because frankly you can't compare different generations of athletes, it's a different game. I love how you Jordan obsessors insult the GREAT teammates he had by pretending those rings were all Jordan! It took him NINE years to win a ring, remember that.

He's got to be trolling, there's no way someone could be that dumb.
