He needs to keep his happy ass in the Box and let the coach do his job.

Sad that people would do this, but reports on twitter that Michael Jordan suffered a heart attack are a hoax.

Obviously a bogus report.

Anyone who saw his HoF acceptance speech or have heard what his ex-team mates and opposition players say about him know that he is heartless...............

Hell, just ask the Jazz.

I saw this article earlier in the week. SI's writer calls out Jordan:

Quite a sad, interesting read.

I'm not sure how much I really think this matters. It's not like MJ hasn't lived a charitable life in many ways. People forget that just because you have money, doesn't mean you're obligated to give ALL of it as long as there's still someone who needs it. He could spend it all on worthy, charitable causes and the world wouldn't be fixed.

I don't know how fair that is, but it is definitely brutal. Jordan using the guy to motivate himself is fine and I'm sure he was trying to joke when he was delivering HOF speeches and negatively referencing him and I don't know what the solution is to try and remedy this one. But it sure was an awful thing to read and you'd like to think he can throw a little scratch that guy's way...

I don't think it would be any less sad if it was just an article about the guy's situation.

I thought we all were under the understanding that Cho had been in charge since the day he showed up.

The people that actually know and/or care about the Bobcats have known this from the get-go.

The doofuses in the media only learn these things when the news cycle is slow and they want something to talk about. "Hey I wonder what MJ is up to, let's see if we can trash him and get some traffic!"

Charles Barkley explained why it was important for him to be honest about the job Michael Jordan has done, from Steven Cuce of Sports Radio Interviews: “I thought my name was S.O.B and M.F., like damn, I couldn’t even say anything. I said, ‘Dude I can’t get on the radio and tell people you been doin’ a good job… “He’s relying on our friendship and I said, ‘Dude, I love you, you one of my best friends, period. You been there for me, I been there for you but.’ I think he got mad; he surrounded himself with people. One of the really difficult things about being famous, all your friends, you’re paying all the bills, they’re flying around on your private jet, very few of your friends are ever gonna disagree with you… But dude, you gotta get better people to wear on you if you’re gonna be successful. … You gotta have friends around you who [are] not afraid to say, ‘Oh that guy can’t play.’ And we’re cool now.”
