I grew up watching the Lakers and Celtics of the Great 80′s.Larry and Magic played Basketball in it’s purest form.In this Great era(80′s) Michael Jordan was a Highlight waiting to happen, But HIS TEAMS were LACKLUSTER and were stepping stones for the Celtics and Pistons…..as the 80′s closed the waterd down 90′s opened up.The NBA Expanded, Highschool Kids were flooding the seen and Michael Jordan started to win Titles…Finally!
at first I was happy for him….he was an exciting player who was fun to watch. But somwhere down the line he started to believe his own hype.I saw the media make up LIES about him, in order to make money(he was never cut from his highschool team)…the media twisted words to make it seem like he was the best!…..Larry and Magic were GONE…so the NBA needed to make money!….Phantom calls and Blatant coddling helped Michael jordan win 3 NBA Titles…..I had grown so sick of hearing how Michael Jordan was the best ever that I was Happy when he QUIT to play baseball…(remember Jordan could’nt win JACK in the 80′s,,,,and the NBA was saying he was better then Magic and Bird?)…He quit to play beseball because he believed his own hype about his greatness,,,HE ACTUALLY THOUGHT HE COULD SAVE BASEBALL……when he found out that he could’nt I thought the NBA would hand him the LOTrophy upon his return.The next year they did…..they gave him Rodman!…..
3 more years and 3 more Titles….and all these Kids who never saw Magic and Bird play were calling MJ "THE BEST EVER"…"HE WILLED HIMSELF TO VICTORY"…."HE WAS A GREAT LEADER WHO COULD DO NO WRONG"…..I would just laugh…..these people do not know what basketball is….they are SHEEP to the media….and I will tell them the TRUTH!…..I will be the WOLF!….are you a WOLF?….or are you a SHEEP?……
One of the greatest Hip Hop groupes (from the 80′s) once said…"Don’t believe the Hype"……………
Famous qoutes from MJ….
"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 garbagemen. They don’t get you the ball."
"They’ve got no idea what it’s all about. The white guys, they work hard, but they don’t have the talent. And the rest of them? Who knows what to expect? They’re not good for much of anything."
"I know what’s gonna happen. We’ll wait until the last minute and then they’ll say something like they couldn’t get a deal done because of the cap or somebody pulled out at the last minute. It happens here all the time. I don’t know why I’m surprised every year."
"He can’t do anything with the ball. Don’t give it to him." – Michael yelling at Paxson who passed the ball to Perdue
"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 [Swearing is not permitted at **********. You must edit this post prior to submitting.] 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
I’ll let them stand up and take responsibility for themselves."
"We have to do some things. We need to make some changes."
"…I call them ‘the Looney Tunes.’ Physically, they were the best. Mentally, they weren’t even close."
"He’s scared. He’s got no heart…Nobody told me that. If I had spoken up, he wouldn’t have been here."
"I know I can recognize what to do, but I’m not sure they can."
"It’s a hell of a lot easier to make Earl Monroe look good than it is Brad Sellers."
"I hope there’s a jumpshot in there." – Michael to Stacey King who was walking into the locker room with a box
"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
"I hate when I have to read that in the papers the next day, that I couldn’t do something. It wasn’t my fault."
"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
