MJ reminding everyone who the king is

[Ralphie1412]

Michael says he would never want to have played with Larry and Magic. Talking about lebron,mj,and bosh.




"There's no way, with hindsight, I would've ever called up Larry, called up Magic and said, 'Hey, look, let's get together and play on one team,'" Jordan said after finishing tied for 22nd in the American Century Championship golf tournament in Stateline, Nev. "But that's ... things are different. I can't say that's a bad thing. It's an opportunity these kids have today. In all honesty, I was trying to beat those guys."

[tealish]

Well, there's MJ and then there's everybody else.

[brooks85]

ya its easy to say that when you are the standard of which future players are graded and have 6 rings. Jordan did not get it done alone, talent came to chicago.

[Ralphie1412]

Yes Scottie Pippen was traded on draft day. Olden Polynice for Scottie. Great front office move. Other than that. Michael Jordan won without a big man.

He had craig hodges, cliff livingston, luc longley, steve kerr, toni kukoc.

Great players but it was MICHAEL WHO MADE THEM THE PLAYERS THEY WERE.

why are you so busy defending LEbron?

[Ralphie1412]

for the record.

I LOVE LEBRON JAMES AND DWAYNE WADE, And I cant wait to watch them play as a basketball fan. But all these comparisons should be over now.

[Dirty Sanchez]

He might be part of the Jock Sniffers Union....D Wade and Bosh are Charter members as well

lol does it bother you?


and how am I busy defending lebron?

[brooks85]

Pippen was a top 50 player in NBA history and Jordan did not win until he showed up and would not have won as many rings without him. Put Pippen with lebron in cleveland and I wonder what happens... or how about if cleveland landed Durant?

It didn't happen that way tho, tough break. Im not defending anyone, just giving my unbiased opinion, which is very rare around here. What jordan said is 100% hypocritical.

[Reload]

The real stars play with the cards they're dealt. No doubt that Jordan had Pippen, Bird had McHale and Parrish, Magic had Kareem and Co., but nothing ever happened for them like putting together this "Miami Thrice" crew.

These dynasties had their share of competition and they wouldn't just invite along some new piece to stay on top - they all stayed together for years and had to keep getting better at what they did.

Wade can tell Shaq how his ass tastes because he never came close to another ring without him. LeBron had a decent surrounding cast and gets swept by the Spurs. Bosh dominated things on the Raptors but what's it going to be like when he's not on a D-League team?

Can't blame MJ at all for saying what he did. No asterisks next to his titles.

[Mr Windy City]

please stop bumping this guy's thread. Please talk about this in the original thread.

maybe you should check all of your basketball related posts then. no it doesnt bother me it just makes me laugh how you are one of the folks on here who think lebron is perfect and nothing was his fault.

what did pippen win once he left chicago? was pippen a top 50 player in nba history in 1991?

[HowBoutDemBears]

what I wanna know is....whos stats are gonna drop? And whos taking that last shot?

[Ralphie1412]

This is the best MJ thread on this topic......PERIOD

[Goat Milk]

what did pippen win once he left chicago? was pippen a top 50 player in nba history in 1991?

pippen was past his prime when he left chi town. what did jordan win when he went to the wizards? This question is irrelevant. Jordan would not win without Pippen, no ifs or buts about it.

Jordan is the best ever and the only person I have ever put in the same sentence as Jordan was Kobe and I said that guy would be special right when he came into the league. The only people that really think Lebron is a all time great (as of now) are recreational watchers that don't know too much about the game.

But don't be stubborn LakerBoy, because I remember you saying Lebron will not win a ring and I remember Paco saying that too and I remember asking you guys, what if he goes to Miami? Not really a big fan of his attitude, but Lebron's game is something that we will never see again as long as this league is around. Lebron is going down as the best SF of all time (will replace bird after he gets 1 or more rings).

maybe you should check. Its good thing to know what you are talking about before you speak. With all the ridiculous claims you have made and that have failed horribly, I think you would know this by now. Since "the decision," I have made about 20 post that have remotely anything to do with it. So thats 20 post over the course of 10 days now is it? A couple were about Big Z and more than a few were about Dan gilbert. Ya I was really busy defending lebron and saying he is perfect. Ill also be real busy watching your next big proclamation come through - saints not making the playoffs in 2010.


and what happened when jordan left? Bulls were still a contender, thanks to pippen.

lol. you make me laugh. so you havent been calling out people for being haters. why do you care if people are hating on lebron or criticizing him? if you are a fan of him then so be it. im not a fan of a sourpuss ignorant clown like lebron who ran out of town and did it the way he did. as for my predictions this is a gaming site where some make predictions and others stay quiet. yes i have been wrong on many and right on many. as for the saints are you willing to put up real $$$ to go against my proclamation?

[brooks85]

I always call out haters, and since I have only called out 1 so far i think im keeping the scale fair.


and if you want to bet call your bookie. No value in waiting that long. I mean I know you are an honest guy and would pay up so I might make a bet just to make one, like 50 bucks say. Ive never made an online bet with someone and really have no desire too.

[Goat Milk]

Brooks you think the Saints will repeat? Is that the bet you want to make?

[brooks85]

I really dont want to make any bet. But, if i did, it would be for saints making the playoffs or not.

[Goat Milk]

The Saints will make the playoffs guaranteed. Sorry to say but they will not repeat. Last year, the Saints were a team of destiny and teams of destiny last for one year, not multiple years. Fading Manning was the easiest money I ever made in the superbowl last year. LOL if you don't see the difference between Manning and Brady in the playoffs by now, you should lower your wagers or something during the NFL playoffs. Why the Saints were getting 6.5 points last year in the SB is something I will never understand.

[lakerboy]

Brooks if you want to make a bet on the saints making the playoffs with me its up to you. If you dont then thats your prerogative. I wouldnt expect you to call me out if they do make it unless you wager on it.

Goat if you think the Saints are a guarantee to make the playoffs then you dont follow the NFL much. Its not the NBA. Very difficult in the NFL to jack it up to the same level. The saints will struggle and be lucky to win more than 9 games.

[Goat Milk]

LakerBoy I've been following NFL almost as long as NBA bud. NBA NFL and Tennis are the only things I know.

[TexansFan]

Let's not forget Rodman when mentioning the players Jordan had on his team. While the guy might have been a little off he was without a doubt great at what he did.

Then you should know better than saying the saints are a guarantee to make the playoffs.

[Goat Milk]

Guaranteed. I don't throw that word out there. Have I ever even used the word on this site? The Bucks and Panthers will struggle to win 7 games each and Atlanta has some serious issues in the secondary they need to address.

Cool. Lets see what happens. The panthers are on flip flop year and the falcons are good for 10 wins. The bucs will be improved this year but obviously suck. Have fun with Saints games this year if you bet on them.

[brooks85]

acutally pm wont matter because it will get read anyways, which im all for the patriot act.

Im down for 50 bucks. The day the saints are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs ill send you the money and vise versa, the day they are mathematically in the mix.

sound good?
