Ok …

He had a massive ego!!!

What do you think it takes to want to be the best, to prove your the best nite in and nite out in front of millions

He took charge, isn’t that what you want ? There has to be a leader.

He wanted perfection, he just about got it!

I was a Knicks fan, I didn’t follow MJ

But cmon, he backed up who he was! That’s all you should feel about the guy!
no one saying he should not be those things....but the guy is simply far from humble. Saying this for some reason puts Jordan23 over the edge.

I get many people argue what you say just because you said it and not what you actually say) but no need for you to do this as well. Jordan23 has been caught lying and clearly is beyond an MJ lover. No need to make him a hero whose word you trust in an MJ topic no matter what he says.

But you do you.

Whoa whoa whoa

How MJ lived his life off the court was his business

He didn’t owe me or you or anybody anything

He got paid to put on a show, and that he did.

Clearly, he couldn’t control his voracious appetite to compete in whatever his interests were…

Are you sayin he didn’t give back?
what does this have to do with whether MJ is humble......doubt even MJ would say he's anything close to a humble fellow.

you claimed EVERY former and current player thinks MJ better than Lebron. You can either stick to this lie or walk it back. Your choice.
Are you a Democrat? Do you understand what facts are? I said “majority”. Last I checked, majority doesn’t mean 100%. Man people are really dumb here

Do you know what talking trash and having a competitive drive is? You can’t judge do all that yet be humble about yourself as a person or player. Jordan talked trash yes. So when he was as asked about being the greatest and he said it’s not fair to be labeled that when he didn’t play against greats before him, would that be a humble answer? That’s what I was arguing from the start that the other clowns keep trying to argue against. Lebron with that said he’s the greatest which would be not humble at all.
No, that would be image control. Which LeBron is not as good at as Jordan was and still is.

Too many confused clowns in here. Jordan was “more” humble. That doesn’t mean people are saying he’s a humble person, but he sure as fuck was more humble than LeBron when it comes to the GOAT talk. That’s just plain facts

What does political affiliation have to do with anything here?

Did I bring up humble ?

I’ve always said MJ was the ultimate competitor on the court
You likely did not bring it up but that's what you have been replying to - conversation was about him not being humble...well, your hero thinks he is.

actually your direct quote was."Greats don’t need to tell themselves they are the best, others will do that. Lebron talks about himself being the goat while peers and everyone else said MJ was the goat."
Peers and everyone else is pretty much saying it is unanimous except LeBron. So, while yes, everyone but one person is a majority, this statement has been proven false unless you are talking about only the first few years of his career, but I don't think LeBRon was making those claims then.

your statement was, "You reach so bad. Jordan is 20 times more humble than Me Me me me, LeBron James.".
And since I understand hyperbole, I'll accept this as saying Jordan is more humble than LeBron.

And he is more humble lol. He’s got a competitive side and talks trash. Lots of athletes do that.

Yes, you later walked it back and said majority. where I pointed out you lied was when you originally said all....glad to see you walked it back.

To your questions, no, not a Dem. Independent and ability to think for myself....and I do understand what facts are. You offer many opinions as facts. Some are even factually incorrect (or lies) like above you finally walked back.

Are you this irrational in real life?

You are right. We know a lot about them.

You apparently aren’t paying attention though.

Steph Curry is an example of a humble athlete.

MJ is not. He talked as much trash as anyone. Told his opponents he was better than them as he was beating them down. Treated teammates horribly at times if he felt they weren’t on his level.

Of course he backed it up.

But if you judge the man only about what he says in controlled interviews and not how he acts when the cameras are off then you aren’t getting anything real.
He's not on MJ level of not being humble but don't think I'd call Curry humble either....agree with rest.

None of those previous players were asked the question by media as much as Lebron. Media coverage has exploded and these players are asked these inane questions ad nauseum.

Glad I saw this and didn't need to find it for him.

Well, @Jordan23, gonna own you lied but at least have since walked it back and changed to majority (which is just opinion)? My guess is no chance as irrational people are not capable of simply saying they were wrong.
