MJ is the GOAT. But at one point, he was a career loser and an admitted stat-padder w/a bad hairline

[madness]

Since switching to point guard for the Chicago Bulls, Michael Jordan has become statistic conscious. He has started checking with statisticians to see how close he is to a triple-double. He had a string of seven consecutive triple-doubles broken Friday night.

"The guys at the scorer's desk let me know what I need," Jordan said.

So, too, do the Bulls' assistant coaches.

"They keep reminding me when I get back to the huddle," Jordan said. "They say, 'You need three more of this. You need four more of that.' "

During breaks in games, Jordan has been wandering over to the scorer`s table to get updates on how many rebounds, assists and points he needs to fill his three double-figure quotas.

"The guys at the scorer`s desk let me know what I need," he said. "They tell me, `You need three assists; you need two rebounds."

Jordan also has been double-checking the figures with Chicago assistants.

"They keep me in tune," he said. "They keep reminding me when I come back to the huddle, how much I need."

Last Sunday, at home against New Jersey, the 10th assist was Jordan`s final goal.

"I knew I had nine assists," he said, "and I looked at (forward) Brad (Sellers), and said, `Brad, can I count on you for my 10th?` And he said, `yeah` and hit a jumper from the baseline."

imagine the outrage if certain players came out and said this

and let's not forget when he said he would be perfectly happy with retiring ringless:

It would be disappointing that I never won, but my career would never, ever be disappointing, because of the success that I've gone through, with the friends that I've met, the experience that I've been through. The game would still be as fun and remembered for me, even if I never win the world championship.

"the friends i've met"

but yall have led me to believe he was a cold-hearted assassin who growled and ate opponents alive and wasn't into the buddy-buddy shyt?

imagine if modern players said this (when they were ringless)...they'd get crucified by the media

and let's not forget his top 3 WOAT hairline:

for all you kids who didnt watch a lick of 90s ball and are led to believe superstars of today are too buddy buddy, obsess over stats and have terrible hairlines. guess history does repeat itself

The media just swept this under the rug along with the other bullshyt he did. So they can paint a flawless image.

Somehow, some way, this will turn into a Jordan vs. Kobe vs. LeBron thread.

 

[jerniebert]

Jordan can do no wrong.

strange i thought it was a Lebron thread the moment it was made

 

[Adam3000]

Straight to the rafters

 

[Ed MOTHEREFFING G]

As a Kid coaches used to coach you not to be selfish like jordan, and to play team ball like magic and isiah. anyone 28 and older tell me i'm lying.

 

[Swagnificent]

Jordan really was a terrible human being on all fronts.
















































But hey, he could ball so I still fukks wit him.

 

[yo moms]

 

[god shamgod]

Jordan didn't become a killer until he won that 1st title.Before that he was getting questioned by the media for being able to do everything but win championships

Mike has always had a chip on his shoulder.

bron wouldve made the correct basketball play and hit murray for the open jumper, which he probably wouldve bricked since he was still cold and not warmed up. then bron wouldve been bashed by the media afterwards
