Bryon Russell Calls out Michael Jordan

[terabaap]

It is well known Jordan was one of the biggest divas and assholes in all of basketball throughout his career. A Hall of Fame speech is not the time to air out your grievances with everyone that ever looked at you wrong. It is a time or appreciation and humility. He cried, yes. But he then went on to call out 20 different players and coaches for every little thing they ever did to him. Poor Jordan, he was so wronged!

Please, you are the greatest, we know it. Now quit being a dick. To me, he just looked insecure, bitter and vengeful.

And after being the worst GM in basketball, you would think he would appreciate Krause a little more for getting his unbelievable talent around him.

Yup, just because you are the greatest, doesn't mean you have carte blanche to be a dick. Didn't even thank tim grover... How do you do that....Add to the list that he was a huge womanizer and you start to wonder about his character.

yea you can wonder about his character all day. but does that change what he did? seriously, some of the best actors in the world are douche bags, some of the most talented musicians are arrogant. Hell, D Wade is considered one of the most humble yet talented bball players, but he is constantly seen at the FIU dorms with different girls each week. All of a sudden, he shouldnt be my fav player anymore?

That being said, I'm an enormous jordan fan. I feel like he was going for what akhil said, naming the people that propelled him forward, positively or negatively, and the events that drove him to succeed. I just think he failed to convey it in the best manner. He DID come off as arrogant, and an asshole, but does it make his achievements any less respectable? not really. it just may make you want to remember a lean, mean jordan in the 23 jersey ON THE COURT, instead of an overweight jordan speaking at a podium in a shiny silver grey suit (seriously, was it just my TV, or did it look like it had aluminum threads).

No one is taking anything away from him. People are just pointing out that he pulled a major dick move during his enshrinement. All these athletes are douche bags, except Derek Jeter he is God.

So just wondering, how many people have actually WATCHED the video. Half of these quotes are not as bad in the context of him saying it.

He mentions Jerry Krause as his 'nemesis' in the organization and wouldn't let him play because krause wanted to 'protect his asset' but he goes on and says that even though krause put up obstacles for him, he still gave jordan the opportunity to play and surrounded him with people to help him succeed. Hearing jordan say what people had been quoting was interesting, it didn't seem spiteful, it seemed like, you know, we had our disagreements and you put me through hoops but we accomplished what we wanted.

Another thing is when he was like, 'players win the championships, not the management' I felt like he was validating why, as a player, he had a right to fight with Krause on issues.

He can get plenty of game winning hits and go home and bang Miss Universe though.

MJ should prolly not have married Juanita.
