Why was MJ on Iverson anyway. 34 or whatever year old 6'6 dude guarding the 5'11 rookie quickest player ever. MJ contested the shot as well as you could but he was expecting the blow by and got J'd up. you can't guard everything

At least Dirk isn't a chemistry-killer.

Idunkon1stdates wrote:One of the few smart moves Jordan's made. Charlotte's where they are because of their defense. Iverson subtracts from their defense. Charlotte's a very weak offensive team. Iverson is not a good offensive player. Further, he has become a sideshow in recent years. He had absolutely nothing to offer the Bobcats.

REALLY? He is obviously not the 30+ ppg scorer he once was but to say he is not a good offensive player is just absurd.

Good decision by Jordan though.

Thanks. I don't return the favour. Pretty obvious your intellect isn't quite as massive.
You wouldn't have bothered to start posting the obvious yourself then. Or be a hypocrite.

My remark was in regards to Jordan. You are the one who brought up Dirk. My comment still stands, Iverson has'nt won jack sh11t compared to Michael, neither has Dirk if that makes your feeble self feel any better. 8-)

This is a sign that owner Jordan will be a whole lot better than GM Jordan or minority owner Jordan.

And niether have Barkley, Ewing, Malone, Payton ect.

There are a lot of players who havent won anything compared to Jordan.....but the fact remains that if Iverson have had the chance to pull this same move on MJ back in 1984 when Jordan still had hair, Michael would have went bald right there on the spot.

AI crossed the holy living shiet out of MJ

Well, AI might've crossed the holy living shiet out of him, but MJ's laughing his ass off at the end.

So... yeah, if it'll help you make you sleep at night.... :lol:

And thats pretty much all you Iverson fanboys have your hat to hang on. His x-over.

huh ? 1984 ..going bald..now you're just talking in hypotheticals and make believe.

BTW a smaller player crossing over a taller player isnt ground breaking in the NBA anymore, Jordan or no Jordan.... The NBA, where switches happen.

I dunno, its hard to get crossed over when you don't play any defense. I know from experience.

The whole championship argument is so cliché. Everyone knows Jordan is the GOAT but you're fooling yourselves if you think someone as competitive as Jordan wasn’t effected by this massacre of a cross AI put on him.

Case in point, during an interview in which Jordan was asked about the famous John Starks dunk on the entire Bulls organization MJ VEHEMETLY DENIED any involvement in the play stating, "That was on Horace and them, not ME!" MJ was more than adamant on his stance that he wanted no parts of that facial and made it clear to throw his teammates under the bus to absolve himself of any potential embarrassment. How come MJ didn’t just reply: "What does it matter? I have 6 championships" :roll: That’s the only Reason Alonzo has been baptized so many times, because he's not afraid, I cant count how many times I've seen MJ run when people tried to Dunk on Him.

So please don’t give me the regurgitated B.S. about MJ championships curing the pain and suffering his ankles went through.

It doesnt bother me, it will most likely happen. His career will always be tarnished by his inabibilty to adapt though.. but its fun to see AI fanboi's freak out when people point that out.
