wasn’t the retirement a cover-up for his punishment for gambling and game-fixing?
Evan Baker
so was his dad's death. man was killed over some of his son's gambling debts.
Jordan Parker
this theory is stupid, and so if your big dumb face . probably got a small dick too. you small dick fag
Connor Collins
Friendly reminder that Bill Russel has 11 Championships, and there are 2 dozen players with more Championships than Jordan
If he didnt create a shoeline/star in Space Jam nobody would know or care about Jordan
Jackson Rogers
Jordan is known for a gambling addiction, a secret drug/party habit and a general low character away from the public eye. Everyone knows about the trash talking the court, but he’s said to be a piece of shit when away from the public eye.
Ian Jackson
No dummy, David Stern made him retire because of his massive gambling habits and trouble with the mob. Which is why his dad was killed, btw.
Anthony Baker
yeah he was a real piece of crap. but, that makes for a very compelling character. I recommend this book to any fan of hoops, or michael. easily the best basketball book I've read
shut up idiot don't pretend like you read anything anyway
Bentley Fisher
If he plays those years instead of taking them off to rest and recuperate, he has way more mileage on his legs. He probably loses a Finals or doesn't make one. Being able to take that time off to recuperate was great for his legacy.
Ryder Myers
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was the goat. Highly skilled player, invented his own unstoppable shots. A patrician, well read, an erudite, a scholar, and the greatest scorer of all time with just as many championships earned as Jorcuck on different teams with different coaching styles.
Jordan was a system babby. Phil was the true mind behind the Bulls' dominance. Jordan was a cotton mouthed thug.
Jordan’s not a big spotlight guy because he sacrificed his life into the public eye for 10+ seasons. Notice there’s rarely any dirt of him lashing out on hecklers and journalists like some athletes did and still do. Who would want to be under constant heat from the whole world judging everything you do? The guy does massive amounts of good behind the scenes.
Jaxson Nelson
He is famously a sociopathic piece of shit
Kayden Powell
You’re a retard who just goes off the “HE PUNCHED KERR” and “JORDAN FUNDS PRISONS” talking points.
Nolan Nguyen
In addition, probably one the most dominant college players in modern day basketball.
Also, one of a hand full of hall of famers who won championships with more than one team
Jacob Morris
>le smarmy carried by superstars role player >le smarmy only wins with stacked teams as a coach Who wouldn't want to punch Kerr tbqh

Shut the fuck up about GOAT. The game changes and evolves. The context of players stats and milestones is never the same. The quality of their playing, and the assemblage of skills, and the compellingness of their story or character, form incomparable qualities.
Greatness has its time and its place, just let it be.
Michael Jordan is a psychopathic bum. He dominated during a notoriously weak period of the NBA (post-Bird and Magic, before Kobe). His nemesis was Clyde Drexler. He faced teams full of absolute nobodies with the sole exception of the Utah Jazz (Stockton definitely got the better of him). He had to rely on an incredible supporting cast throughout his career which included Rodman, Pip, Kukoc, Grant and Kerr. He was given the benefit of the doubt on every single play he was involved in. Referees were explicitly told not to call fouls on Jordan. That is a fact. And it makes sense considering he was the face of the NBA and the most massively-marketed athlete of all time.
And I guess that's the reason we have to deal with all of these Jordan shills. Because of Space Jam and Hane's commercials and all of the other "Be like Mike" nonsense. Couple that with all of the racist hatred that Lebron gets for his social activism and it's no wonder we get all these stupid threads. Lebron James literally built a school for poor black children while Michael Jordan was building private prisons used to cage adult black men. Get fucking real even trying to compare these two people. There's a reason that Lebron is considered the GOAT on and off the court. He carried teams, often with little to no support. And he did it against elite opposition. Something that Jordan wouldn't be all that familiar with. I don't give an athlete points for going off to play baseball when things get tough.
It's also worth noting that Lebron is the greatest high school player of all time while Jordan was irrelevant in high school. If Lebron had played college ball then he would have surpassed Pete Maravich as the greatest college player of all time. But we'll never have that confirmation because he was so good he went straight to the NBA.
Colton Thompson
This might actually be the worst fucking post I've ever seen on /sp and that's really saying something.
There might not be a single factual statement in this entire post and the saddest part is some gullible zoomer will still eat it up hook line and sinker. Fuck this generation
Evan Walker
>Referees were explicitly told not to call fouls on Jordan. That is a fact.
THIS. Everyone knows the NBA is fixed.
Levi Hughes
Hey now, even Jordan has gone to say he's glad to not have faced Hakeem and the Rockets in the finals, one of the biggest what ifs in the 90's. Don't tell me that Jordan and the Bulls would have beaten the Rockets in 95, love the Bulls but no one was beating the Rockets that year.
Bulls managment blew the team up after the last 3peat. Their general manager is on record saying he wanted to prove he could win a title without Jordan and Phil Jackson.
Charles Cruz
Literally no proof of this, none at all. And a man making 80 million a year in endorsements alone I'm pretty sure could pay off any gambling debts
Adam Lewis
Jordan had a career average of 4 fouls per game. Lebron has one of less than 2 fouls per game... just sayian.
Ryder Gray
Jordan is one of the most arrogant people alive. He probably told them to wait
Chase Hughes
His gambling was out of control. He was gambling on basketball too. Stern and Nike didn't want a scandal - and one like this would have killed their cash cow. So, it was decided that he would leave for a while, so men in little hats could get all the ducks back in a row - make sure nothing was going to come out Jordan betting on NBA, etc.
He couldn't just leave for no reason though. Would look just a little odd(!). So, the baseball thing was a perfect strategy.
I have no proof. Just my best guess based on behavior patterns of Niggers, Jews, the media, big business, and sports reporting.

>thinks books like "atlas shrugged" or 1984 are the pennicle of literature. Ah, there he is That motherfucker What a tool.
