POLL Why are people obsessed with Michael Jordan?

[The Oldtimer]

Oh if its about favorite players, MJ, Lebron, Larry Bird and Bill Russell don't even make my top 50

Big Shot Robert Horry makes my top 5

7 rings, right?

He was given the opportunity to spread his special brand of crap to LGBTQ sites.

Well he will like that.

 

[trojanfan12]

Well he will like that.

I'm sure he's very popular.

So you've limited him to the politicz forum?

Shit, now we won't know who won!

 

[SJ76]

Shit, now we won't know who won!

First half was cool to watch. Ewing was tossing shit and getting goaltending calls. We know the outcome but forget the small details

I don’t remember much of the game at all

 

[RobToxin]

So brave! So controversial!

I'm surprised he hasn't been cancel cultured yet!

i hated MJ. hated him. but i also respected the hell out of his game enough to know what i was watching at the time. its why i watched. i wanted to be able to tell my grandkids i saw him play. i got lucky and saw him live in boston 3 times.
i never got that same vibe from kobe or lebron. both sensational, generational talents, but i never tuned in because kobe was on, or lebron and the cavs were on.

I hated him too, along with all of the bandwagon Bulls fans that popped up everywhere. Still, he was the most unstoppable and intense player I have ever seen. Shaq came close for a few years, but got fat and lazy and never really evolved his game. Kobe and Lebron are all-time greats, but they still come up short of MJ. I didn't get to see KAJ in his prime, wish I did. Magic was probably the closest of those I have seen, but his approach was almost the complete opposite of MJ's. MJ was of single purpose...to kill and eat your family. Magic was fun-loving and jovial.

The Lakers were old...the Bulls had finally solved the Celtics and the Pistons and were primed for the NBA throne.

If recall...they swept (4-1 actually) the Lakers and I took a lot of flak about that, but I had no issue with MJ...he was that good...but the Bulls in general with all the fans that wouldn't know Bob Love, or Jerry Sloan if they walked into their living room...they could go pound sand.

MJ was a serial killer on the hardwood.

others compared to him, werent.

 

[jontaejones]

Because ...

1) He was really, really good.

2) He won a lot.

3) He was good looking, so women liked him too.

4) He was not 'too black' like Iverson or ... Kap.

Rose was stupid fast.

Saw him play live in a high level AAU game against a team that had Kevin Love, Brandon Jennings and Chase Budinger.

Rose got a long rebound at about the FT line, and a a guard from the other team was at about half court. The guard turned around and tried to sprint back, he didn’t even back pedal, yet Rose still beat him to the rim. Never seen somebody go end to end faster with the ball in their hands.

Rose and Eric Gordon had a ridiculous AAU team.

They had vids up on Youtube which I think have been taken down.

There was one video where they played a team with Nick Calathes which held their own because he was really that good. Fun stuff to watch.

Eric Gordon was an absolute monster in high school, he was unstoppable.
