He has every right to be upset.

The current roster is not good enough to compete with GS and they have sat on their hands this off season while every other contender has made significant moves. Hell, they don't even have a GM because Gilbert was too cheap to pay Griffin.

Well you can from a more classy fan base, so I'll give you more benefit of the doubt than I might a few others. But to me, the idea of "Jordan being a jackass" is nothing more than an excuse for players today to become jackasses.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm of the firm belief that twitter and other social media is nothing more than a way for stupid individuals to look even stupider. Jordan generally knew how to prevent the Bulls' dirty laundry from reaching the mainstream media, and he's a better person because of it.

I can't resists this opportunity.

First of all, you just said 2 days ago you would drop the fan base crap. Yet, here you go again
Implying that @The Derski's opinion is somehow more valid because of the team he roots for. He is 100% correct in his assessment, but it has nothing to do with his favorite team and everything to do with the act that he is an intelligent human.

Second, are you for real on the social media comment? Did you not recently wish a broken leg on Paul George on social media? I mean, you are correct, but pot meet kettle.

The Bulls dirty laundry was not out there because media access to the athletes was far less then than it is today. With social media, everybody is a potential reporter.

Jordan's an asshole. I have a friend who used to work at a grocery store when he was in high school in Charlotte. He told me about the time he had to tell Jordan to get back at the end of the line because he skipped an old lady, simply because he was Michael Jordan. This was about 10 years ago from his timeline.

I agree. Using social media to wish injury on a player for leaving your team does tend to make one look pretty stupid.

Good thing you'd never do anything like that, huh?

If Lebron was a better leader and an alpha male, Warriors wouldn't win a series against the Cavs.

As mentioned before, Warriors probably wouldn't even have reached the finals of San Antonio had a healthy Leonard/Parker this year.

And Klay Thompson has been all kinds of suckage since Durant showed up

Because they had a big lead in one game? That's quite a logic leap.

A quick loss of HCA turns the series. Warriors were shook

Ridiculous.

Wasn't even a lock that SA wins that game.

They jumped out to a similar lead in the one late regular season where everyone (except KD) played in San Antonio. SA was up 20 in the first. GS erased the enitre lead and led at half.

Assuming SA would have one game 1 is understandable, but not a given. Assuming they win the series is just plain dumb. You are the biggest hater I have ever seen.

He's a troll, he just tries to rile people up. Very easy to troll back.

Does anyone see the irony of one of the most immature posters in here SEE the irony of him starting a thread about OTHER people who never grow up?

Business is business and these players have the right to look out or their own best interests regardless of public perception.

I meant DorianRo though. You are pretty obsessed with Hurricane.

As proven by repeating that phrase unnecessarily.

Oh I know that, but no I am not obsessed with him - but he disappeared for six months or so, comes back and suddenly arguing with everyone - I just couldn't help think about the irony of him calling others childish given his current circumstances. I thought of him because he is the one that started the thread

I was about to say the irony of calling out Michael Jordan for using social media as a means to look stupid, when many people use the message boards to do the same, but you beat me to it:lol:

Kyrie seems to be tired of the Cavs bending over to Lebrons needs. Kyrie isn't going to be left in Cleveland after Lebron bails and that roster looks like Swiss cheese

And there was a reason I deleted that particular tweet within two weeks. @tlance
