jordan lied to the media and made up a story about lebradford smith saying nice game to him

he did this media manipulation to increase the jordan lore

so its interesting to see jordan fans accuse me of spinning something to my benefit, that's like Leonardo DiCaprio fans accusing me of sleeping around with multiple women and being afraid of commitment

Shaq made up a story about David Robinson not giving him an autograph so he can play better against him.

so now you are trying to deflect

btw my offer on the previous page to provide an explanation is still left alone, why are you guys passing up a great opportunity to defeat the Rodzilla and score a victory for the MJ?

You have blown up the thread with your efforts to bring Jordan down while the league and sports world is shoving his greatness in our face.

no their argument just dried up when I brought in the facts and now they are hiding acting like they won, im pretty sure when the topic changes back to something they can argue they will be all over me again

Ok guys, that's enough. What started as a fair game Jordan debate has quickly been de-railed. Nobody is here to see which camp "won" this back and forth. If any of you insist on continuing this, I'll be handing out a strike for derailing. Feel free to continue discussing the Last Dance, but derailing in this instance is when the debate switches from talking about the topic to talking about which one of you is "winning".

Mid range is not long twos. As for how he'd do on threes if he grew up in today's league?

NOPE. Doesn’t justify it. Still cancelled.

“We kinda needed that.”

Actually you didn’t. Still cancelled.

“It worked.”

Maybe the most dangerous comment about Jordan’s bullying - to relate it to success. Still very much cancelled.

“Scott's got a great personality, he took it like a man.”

Took it like a man!? Major red flag. Absolutely still cancelled.

Image

Jordan's behavior when he did the bullying was bad enough but this series trying to justify it and relate it to success really angers me.

It's so counterproductive in our fight against the bullying epidemic in schools, sports, communities, workplaces and even in homes.

It's almost unbelievable that they released this.


So he should just let the guys slack off while he was working hard? Have you worked with people who are lazy workers?

I took it as they were explaining this is how he was no excuses no sugar coating.
Some lead by example, some by pushing people etc every person is different.

It was for the other guy who wrote that long lame post even though I think he was probably trolling. I'm for a little bullying. Builds character.

It's pretty clear the only two guys trolling in this thread. They're both LeBron fans. I'm actually surprised they aren't removed from this thread for the blatant attempts. It's almost spamming this entire thread with nonsense that nobody is even coming close to agreeing with nor having a rational discussion about.

Rodzilla used to post on the bucks board when we had delly. His posts always focused on delly and he honestly believes delly is a star player who is instrumental in teams being good. I thought it was a schtick but obviously not after reading this thread.

We need some outside shooters lets get CP3, Carmelo, Aldridge and AD.... said nobody ever in todays game
Mid-range is not outside shooting lol, you guys try everything to give Jordan credit where its not deserved, and its disrepctful to player who are actually outside shooters

No it's you who doesn't know what he's talking about.
Paint= inside game
Anywhere OUTSIDE the paint= outside game

These are basics.

Ehemm but nba.com disagrees with you

http://www.nba.com/article/2019/12/13/friday-notebook-russell-westbrook-shooting-devonte-graham-dennis-schroder

But by all means keep on digging

Ps 3.3 3pta is not high volume or if it is then you have agree that infact Jordan shot 3pt at a high rate at 36% given that 3, 3 pt per game qualifies as high volume
Then Lebron shoots 3pt at 34% at high volume.

You cant just refuse what people have defined as a outside shot just because you want it to mean something else :lol:

I love the fact that you brought up LaMarcus Aldridge on this.
"We need inside game"
"Let's give it to LMA"
*LMA proceeds to a fadeaway jumper from the corner* :lol:
