It's amazing what understanding you bring to greatness. If only one of us could get 1% of that understanding, it would be a better world.
are you freaking serious?!?! maybe the adidas will make him 1% of what his dad was..... because the nike jordans certainly won't.... how can you make that demand and haven't done squat to prove you can even be good at that level?? talk about having a silver spoon shoved up your ass... UCF should tell him to go f*** off!! give the scholarship to someone who really wants it!!!
I wish Z-Ro asked for that picture......I GUARANTEE you MJ would of took and framed the picture for him.
I don't claim to understand it. But I don't have a desperation about me to bring it down to my level so I can pretend like I do. You not understanding the relationship between the media and Jordan and the media and Bonds speaks enough about your knowledge of this topic. Or what Jordan has been synonymous with throughout his career for, and what a individual stat padder like Bonds has been synonymous for. Fair enough, but it's hard to get over years and years of conditioning yourself to something. We saw that at his hall of fame speech, the factors that still drive him even though he's not a great decision maker when he isn't on the basketball court. And this is Chamillionaire's side of the story, I wouldn't trust a guy who waves his hands around and makes sarcastic facial expressions when recalling a story. His business is the media.
Part of the SWAG? Presence of greatness? Are kidding me? What has Jordan done that is so great? Shoot balls through a hoop? Wow how thoroughly amazing, and what a difference he's making for all humankind People like you are the reason why NBA players (and all sports jocks in general) become egotistical bastards. The fact is Jordan is a grown man who has made millions playing a children's game, and its the fans who bought his tix, his jerseys, his shoes who made it possible for him to have the lifestyle he's living now. I'm not saying Jordan should be beholden to each and every random stranger that approaches him, but at the same time just because he's a great ballplayer that doesn't excuse acting like a jerk all the time.
Artest's moment of strife= guy throwing beer at him Jordan's moment of strife = getting asked for a picture by Chamillionaire of all people One moment of strife will cause even normal, sane people to lose it all and start clobbering someone, while one moment of strife doesn't warrant a cursing out and racist slurs (ironically by one of the same race). Can you guess which is which?
Interesting that you accuse of people not understanding greatness, yet you youself is so understanding of all the psychology of "greatness."
Jordan, more than likely, has no idea who Cham is. When he was with the Wizards he would make fun of Richard Hamilton and the rest of them for listening to rap.
Yeah he used to mess with Cartwright... Until Cartwright told him that if he didn't stop messing w/ him, that he'd break MJ's legs. Cartwright wasn't going to put up with him. At all. True story.
The point was in the way he responded to the request. Who he responded to isn't an issue. He could have very well said, "No man, not now," and that would've been a hundred times better than how he handled it. I've heard other MJ stories like this with fans. I don't think greatness is an excuse for rudeness.
maybe he can meet the real champion of Basketball... Hakeem!!! MJ is pissing on his legend by acting that way. What an idiot.
