These Jordan comments to his teammates were ether. :damn:

[King Poetic]

I thought that was Robert Parish in 96 who pulled MJ's card

Michael Jordan is an economy unto himself, spawning opportunities for all kinds of marketers, small businessmen, entrepeneurs -- and authors. With the release of the latest take on the latest version of Jordan, we thought we'd take a glance at what some other books have revealed about MJ.





JORDAN AND BILL CARTWRIGHT
MJ and Bill Cartwright were, for a time, co-captains of the Bulls.





Sam Smith, in ""The Jordan Rules"" wrote that Jordan had no respect for Cartwright, told his teammates to keep the ball away from Cartwright in crucial late-game situations (even if coach Doug Collins called a play involving Cartwright), and bellittled the veteran publicly. Cartwright confronted Jordan:





Excerpt: He didn't do or say anything to anybody until late that season, when he told Jordan he needed to talk to him.



There was little small talk exchanged. "I don't like the things I've heard you saying about me," Cartwright told Jordan.



Jordan stared at him.



"If Iever hear again that you're telling guys not to pass me the ball," Cartwright continued, "you will never play basketball again."



That was it. But as Cartwright began to move better after surgery following the 1989-90 season, Jordan began to accept him more.

I respect that, but I also respect bill cartwright for threatening his ass by telling him he’ll break his legs... those was the last comments said about gangsta bill

Exactly. Michael Jordan looking back was a bully who was enabled by the Bulls, Doug Collins, and especially Phil. I understand being easy on the star a little bit, but they were letting him say some wild shyt. We know of three people who said came back at him. First was Bill Cartwright. The second was Steve Kerr. The last was when crazy Ron bodyslammed his ass. He never came at any of those three wrong again.

People be giving MJ respect as a leader that should be reserved for Bill Russell.

Yall nikkas always tryna spread yall lil agendas subtly . There would be zero difference in his popularity now as it was then because the nikka still woulda been 3peating averaging 31 ppg for his career.

MJ is my favorite player of all time....im old enough to remember MJ in college and the Olympics in 84....

all I'm saying is that he was in fact an a$$hole....doesn't make him any less of a great player

Bron being heavily criticized for the first time in about 8 years really got stans in their feelings

I read the OP and thought this was nothing about or directed at Bron.

Thought this was about Draymond Green

He the one calling his teammates p*ssys and bytches

Jordan lucky he didn't play in the social media 24/7 news cycle era.

“We’re beating a lot of poor teams. So what? We won a lot of games last year, too. Will Horace and Bill still be playing at this level in the playoffs…Can Pip keep it up?”

“I hate being out there with those garbage men. They don’t get you the ball.”

“You’re an idiot. You’ve screwed up every play we ever ran. You’re too stupid to even remember the plays. We ought to get rid of you.” – Michael to Horace Grant

“If you [pass the ball to Bill Cartwright], you’ll never get the ball from me.”

“We’re not winning because of talent. We’re just beating bad teams.”

“Headache tonight, Scottie?” – Michael asks Scottie, while showing him his 2-for-16 line

“It’s probably a twelve-day. He needs two days to wake up.” – Michael on a ten-day contract teammate

“He can’t do anything with the ball. Don’t give it to him.” – Michael yelling at Paxson who passed the ball to Purdue

“You ever hear of a guy, six-eleven maybe and two hundred sixty pounds, a guy big and fat like that and he can’t get but two rebounds, if that many, running all over the damn court and he gets two rebounds? Big guy like that and he gets one rebound. Can’t even stick his **** into people and get more than that…Big, fat, fat guy. One rebound in three games. Power forward. Maybe they should call it powerless forward.” – Michael ripping Stacey King a new one

“He was scared in there and panicking. He just lost it when Stockton scored.” – Michael on B.J. Armstrong’s mental fragility”

“They don’t need a ticket to watch you sitting on the bench. They can go to your house for that.” – Michael to Charles Davis who was sorting through his tickets for his family and friends

“Give me the ******* ball.” – Michael to Doug Collins who drew up a play for Dave Corzine

“If I were a general manager, we’d be a better team.” ( Wizards? Bobcats? )

that "headache" line to Scottie goes over young folks heads

MJ wasn't even that bad. He was just regular trash talking guys' play.

[klientel]

No it wouldn't. It'd be constant headlines of "is Jordan driving the team apart" and "is there unease in the bulls locker room" and "is Pippen being driven away by Jordan"

Then the players would see these headlines nonstop and then shyt would have an impact. You saying it wouldn't is disingenuous.

You typed all that for nothing. None of that shyt matters when you are winning...

And the Jordan would be winning.

And the Jordan would be winning.

The point is that shyt would effect morale and winning.
