Another classic Jordan story
- Thread starter THE MACHINE
- Start date
Jordan's energy was otherworldly. Imagine standing next to him at tip-off and smelling booze on his breath thinking you have a chance that night. Then he goes out and destroys you while still buzzed/hungover.
I think thats part of the reason he said a few years ago, that when he sees Westbrook he sees himself.
but yeah Jordan was crazy, dude was in Miami for ECF in 97 playing 36 rounds of golf the MORNING OF a conference finals game

Other players on the Dream Team have spoken about how it seemed like Jordan never slept and had crazy energy:
"In 1992, Michael Jordan apparently needed no sleep at all. Clyde Drexler, for example, asked whether MJ did ever sleep. David Robinson called him a freak of nature. Jordan played golf, he played cards and of course basketball. Nothing new so far. Yet, the night prior to the gold-medal game was special.
Apparently, not being too nervous about opponent Croatia, MJ played cards until the wee hours. The problem: Some of you might recall this iconic shot where Jordan looks at a huge billboard of his. Well, the picture had not been taken yet. Neither had a commercial they wanted to do. Both had been put off several times. Hence, this was the last chance.
So after having finished his card game, His Airness went back to his room, washed his face and got ready. They took the photo. They went to the Olympic Stadium. They shot the commercial. All good. And still some time until tip-off. How about some sleep, MJ? Nah, I’m gonna get 18 holes in.
Of course he hit the course. Jordan played golf, then played Croatia and finally won his second Olympic gold medal. No wonder, Jack McCallum, author of “Dream Team”, recalls, Jordan’s bionic nature, his incredibly high energy level always being among the first things, any member of the Dream Team mentioned when thinking back to those days in the summer of 92."
I remember magic saying he had to tell Mike, he's not like him and that he needs to sleep. I read the reason he started drinking was because he couldn't sleep and his doctor told him to have a drink before bed. Of course he took it to another level

that nikka had to be zooted. "Cokeboi" Jordan
According to stories, Jordan was so great that he NEEDED to find ways to motivate himself to perform at ultra high levels. This was just another scenario that fell in his lap.
As soon as they shook, Jordan had already won the bet

Was he not legendary?I'm confused breh.
Act like being the GOAT with countless big sports moments and pioneering the marketing doesn't get you anything brehs
People that actually followed his career know why he's ''legendary.''
MJ=GOAT

That's why there won't be another MJ. Got even the best of the best of the NBA saying he's unbelievable.
MJ=GOAT
He has that ''legendary aura'' due to being widely considered the GOAT
Act like having countless big sports moments, revolutionizing sports marketing, plus the personal stories means nothing brehs
Long Live The Mamba
I make sh*t shake up in broad day
