You saying he gets free passes, what exactly should have come after the chamillionare story, public outrage ?
High quality poster
Veteran
Like what?
Are you talking about Salt Lake City and are you Joe... ...Ingles?
Not public outrage, I just recall his fans basically said he can treat ppl however he wants, because he is MJ. The man tried to lie and say he had nothing to do with the Dream Team exclusion of IT. Audio comes out that disproves it, yet it came and went.
I think most of us recognize MJ as being a a$$hole, towards a few people. And its not like MJ out here smacking up folks post retirement. You got a Chamillionare story and stories of MJ being overly competetive. It's nothing outrageous that anyone should be outraged about.
We all watched the last dance, we seen him put it all out there and even admit it all. No one dismisses it. MJ got his faults like everyone else
Some of the folks who push agendas want us to think MJ was putting cigars out on nikkas foreheads during practice
My point is, you can’t publicly and privately criticize the Pistons style of play to the media and David Stern, and then use 3 of those same players to help you win. He had no issue when Rodman was on his team because he needed him, but when he was a Piston, he despised him, especially Pippen. If he disliked their style of play so much, why not block or speak out against the acquisitions? Rodman didn’t change as a Bull. But his antics were okay because it wasn’t directed at his team.

Exactly my point though. You was dirty when he wasn’t on your team, but his dirtiness is okay now because he could help you win? Cool. But it’s still hypocritical.Rodman was about to be exiled from the nba & jordan said he didn’t care about their past before he was acquired. He knew Rodman would help them win
at this reach. Jerry Krause signed these washed mf’s who contributed absolutely nothing to the bulls who cares.
It isn’t a reach, and I never said they played a key role in them winning. He signed them and Mike embraced them because they were the winning attitudes they needed, they were situational players , not major contributors. But the fact remains, they were from the dirty Bad Boys. The team he hated most.

Was MJ personally shytting on those players or the game plan? The idea that he is a hypocrite for playing with a player who played on that team damn near a decade later is foolishness.
The idea that he would turn down a dream team invite years later is foolishness as well cause Chuck Daly coached the team
You reaching
He’s not saying all that didn’t happen. He’s mocking the other poster who said Jordan was revising history with The Last Dance
Both.
It wasn’t a damn near a decade later. . Rodman left the Pistons in 93 and was in the Bulls 2 years later. You’re ill-informed and you’re reaching to prove your point. Now that is foolish.
I don’t know what you’re talking about, I made no mention of Chuck or the Dream Team. You’re creating a debate that never spoke on. You’re reaching.
Judging by your response, were you alive and of age to witness the rivalry? You seem to not know. Just asking.
Him lying for nearly 30 years about IT and the Dream Team, then be exposed by audio, has nothing to do with competitiveness. It shows that he is a worm who cant stand behind his actions. Which proves Isiah's point. Dont praise me privately, then criticize me publically..be consistent.
Also, he was willing to not play for the Dream Team if Thomas was included, right? So why not adhere to those principles when it comes to Coach Daly? You know the man who helped formalize the physical philosophy that he hated so much?
Your overall point of he cant play with them later on because he had a problem with their playing style years prior is a reach and a foolish point
in 1987 I called yall a dirty team so for the rest of my career these 12 to 15 guys are off limits.
I distinctively remember Mike saying Isaiah is the second greatest point guard of all time. He said that during the last dance, is that not enough praise publically?
