I just spent 20 minutes booting up my dial up to say that Jordan is a product of Pippen!

Did you have Jordan over Olajuwon draft wise?

Other than being one of the worst lists of the decade, #4 is one of a few instances I've seen from the mid 80s of people already complaining about one on one play.

I'll tell you why the NBA is so boring!

1. Zone defenses are not allowed --> detracts from defense
2. 3-to-make-2 free throws --> thwarts comebacks
3. Bad shot selection
4. One-on-one play
5. 3-point shots --> further encourages bad shot selection
6. 24-second clock --> encourages bad shot selection and one-on-one play
7. No necessity for coaching, therefore there is none -- it's sandlot bball
8. Refs don't call charging --> discourages good defense
9. Refs don't call traveling (better this year I've heard)
--> allows for dunks from mid-court
10. 20-second timeouts --> to easy to get out of trap situations
11. too many playoff teams --> who cares about the regular season anymore

Of these, none were even thought of in the college ranks until a few years
back. Now, suddenly, they've adopted #11, a version of #6, and are thinking
of #5. The rest I feel have been reasonably avoided so far. Let's hope
college basketball doesn't sink into the muck that the NBA has, because it
sure looks like they're trying to emulate the NBA as hard as they can.

Bulls fans would **** hate the late 80's Pistons for sure.

Everyone knows that Jordan is great, but I think the whole flu thing played
right into his hands as an opportunity to add to the whole Jordan mistique.
Anyone remember when Pete Sampras played a Wimbledon match, while throwing
up all over the court, and still mustering up enough energy to go 5 sets
and win. That was real. Jordan was acting like he was getting ready to die
out there. Sure he was sick, but come on,,, it wasn't that serious for him
to carry on, on the bench during time outs like he was making the most
courageos effort in sports history. I've seen better than that.

The W's finally have their CORE together, and if we wait this team can win a CHAMPIONSHIP... you don't break that up just to add on over-the-hill scorer like Jordan... this team is about the FUTURE... when Declerq is starting for us in the finals, you'll all see how right I am"

"Michael Jordan lacks tne all around game that Bird and Magic had. He's ruining the game. Who cares about a selfish individual who shoots every time. Bird and Magic made sure...ya know..everybody shot!! Im sick of seeing Jordan on all 10 channels I have on TV. Enough of this guy. He hasnt won a championship and all he has done is compile up individual stats. Im sick of it. Magic Johnson would make Brad Sellers one of the best players in the league. Jordan ruins him. Im tired of this lugnut. Him and Michael Jackson. They both are ruining America and I predict neither will maintain their success."

"What a joke that Kobe Bryant was to start his rookie season. Kid talks so much smack about going to pros. Young snot nosed kid had the audacity to have a press conference????!! Announcing he's going to the pros. What a joke. Im glad he took his ego and his Sonny Crockett sunglasses to LA. Ruin that franchise why dont you. Give me Antoine Walker over that kid anyday. Anybody see that little shimmy he did after making that 3 last night? Sign of things to come baby. A sign of things to come!"

Jordan went on to be widely considered the GOAT, while Jackson became the "King of Pop," and went on to fondle that poster's children.
