rjt Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 The real story that needs to be told about MJ is his 2 year baseball "experiment" was an agreed upon suspension between him and Stern for his severe gambling "issues".One of the dumbest theories ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His dad had just been murdered and he was a mess. Won 3 straight and no motivation or anything to prove. I think that’s a lot more plausible than NBA willingly suspending its best and most marketable player and costing itself millions of dollars. Stern was all about growing the game internationally and making money. Can’t see any way he would suspend Jordan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingRevolver Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 Really was a bonehead move, but Jordan has always been about competition. Felt he had proven himself in basketball, so now he wanted to prove himself in baseball. Silliness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadTiger Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 I never said I didn't want Isiah on the dream team -MJ opppsssss Now audio of MJ saying "I wont play if Isiah is on team" He told the truth. He didn't say 'I don't want [him] on the Dream Team." He said "I won't play if [he] is on the team." If it was a court case, a lawyer would argue that due to Jordan's level of skill and respect in the profession, those two things are CONSTRUCTIVELY the same thing. But he didn't lie. He just knew they would appease him at all costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was some of the best professional sports competition ever. You have to have the right amounts of respect, fear, contempt, and admiration for your opponent. They had it.

Boatboatboat Posted May 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 In one of his first practices with the Bulls, Parish botched one of the plays and was amused to find Jordan jawing at him just inches from his face. “I told him, ‘I’m not as enamored with you as these other guys. I’ve got some rings too,’ ” Parish recalled. “At that point he told me, ‘I’m going to kick your ass.’ I took one step closer and said, ‘No, you really aren’t.’ After that he didn’t bother me.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
