    MJ throws shade at Russ and Harden.


    I'll be happy the day, when someone breaks MJ's records. There all related to scoring. Russell has 11 titles, both Jones and Havlicek have 8.

    Why is six the standard?

    Russ right now thinking "maybe I should leave Jordan Brand since my sneakers are ugly and the man I worship is laughing at me"

    He's right. At the end of the day James is still a playoff choke artist and Russel is a stat chaser that can't shoot and blew a 3-2 lead that got the warriors to their first title.

    Extreme and irrelevant hypothetical... but does Jordan get 6 if he’s in his prime during the Warriors’ dynasty years?

    1 championship as a key player is harder than anything Harden or Westbrook have achieved.

    Plus he gave them both props before that and threw in the championships more as a joke. People are just itching to make anything gain traction these days.

    Is it just me, or does Jordan always seem to come across as insecure and arrogant and always trying to inflate his own ego and accomplishments?

    No.
    Warriors now are better than any team the Bulls ever faced.
    Also, the Bulls then are better than any Cavs team the Warriors have faced. The Rockets last year is the best team the Warriors have had to face during their run, and as much of a homer as I am, our team last year wasn't as good as some of those Bulls teams then.

    I agree. I do find it funny Russ is under contract with Jordan brand & is never gonna win one ring at this rate.

    A bit insecure, nobody in their right mind debates weather Harden or Russ were better than Jordan. Jordan's immortality isn't threatened by either of these players, yet he uses the opportunity to elevate himself further by tearing down the accomplishments of others.

    Maybe I'm just an oversensitive wuss, but this seems a bit petty.

    With Worm, Scottie and Kucoc, at least three times.

    Bulls biggest weakness was covering legit centers, and Dray would learn what dirty means by going down low with Rodman.

    Katy is a matchup nightmare but cupcake would be figured out at the end of a seven game series, prob a mix of mental attacks and manufactured drama with Dray.

    Seems like he said pretty lightheartedly, but yes, Jordan is very insecure. I thought that was obvious now.

    Not sure "insecure" is the word. . . . These guys are not only great athletes, but the are the most competitive personalities too.

    I don't really see why this is a headline.

    Of course leading a team to 6 titles is harder.

    you mean like he called out some poor high school teammate of his in his hall of fame speech?
    a dude worth like a billion dollars calling out some dude who's probably a security guard now in his speech

    you don't say
