But this guy was not even a sport reporter. He was assigned by the Washington Post to document mj''s return and Jordan would not talk to him. It was very much personal with him.

According to Forbes, MJ is now a billionaire, thanks to the rising value of the Hornets.

I have not noticed Jordan at the games since January. Has he been there? I don't always look.

:o :o :roll: :roll: Just Wondering MJ.....After spending all those millions on AL MARV and Lance,giving Kemba 12 mil a year, and having a winning mindset,are you really disappointed (pis#*d) about where we are right now? I suspect the answer is yes so let me give you some advice so we turn this team around next season..
1. Fire Clifford and hire Brian Shaw/ He knows Lance and can control him.
Trade AL to GSW for Lee/ 2015 1st (Trade Checker 6575126) Draft Robert Upshaw from Washington
Trade Marvin to Denver with our 2015 2nd round pick for Chandler (6575129)
Let Henderson PO and ,Maxceil, UFA Walk
Sign Mo , but don't match any offers on Biz RFA
Move MKG to SG
Draft Kaminsky or if gone Poeltl both Centers
2015-2016 Roster
Kemba/Mo,Roberts
MKG,Lance,PJ
Chandler JT
Lee/Cody Vonleah
Kaminsky,Upshaw ( rotate Cody between 4 and 5)

So now we lack defense and rim protection at both the 4 and 5 spots and really don't get much better anywhere in the rotation. This would be a step back and a large one at that.

:o :o :roll: :wink: Look at Upshaw as a backup center pick at 31 or early 2nd round if we can trade up...Upshaw plays defense and blocks shots.......... :D ....Also Now Miles Turner has declared from Texas and is in the Mix at picks 10-12 along with Kaminsky or Poeltl. Turner is better than Poeltl and should be our second choice to pick if Kaminsky is off the board.
Also maybe Biz will not get anything lucrative as a RFA and Lee is a Vet with all the skills at 4. I think we would have allot more defense at 4/5 than we do now. :wink:

Didn't he used to do this when he first became owner and regularly won? We were obviously awful then.

He beat MKG 1 on 1.

MJ would most likely beat everyone on the team 1 on 1.
