Michael Jordan was as close to the perfect basketball player as we will ever see. Ironically that maniacal personality is what also makes him a poorly adjusted terrible human. He's not going to make sense to the average person. He lives a life we can't understand.

The disappointment that he doesn't live up to your standards in person is what is weird to me. Stop with the man worship. We're basketball fans. Jordan was amazing at basketball. Buy his cards and collect him for that reason. You shouldn't have ideals about what a great guy he is. I wouldn't want him dating my sister or being a role model to my kids. He's not a great front office guy or owner either. He's great at basketball. Don't be let down when that doesn't translate to other life areas. I'm sure we're all great at something. Doesn't make us great at everything.

If I cared about how a guy was off the court, I would not like #33 for the Celtics, but yet he is my favorite basketball player.

Seems like a lot to you and I. Probably not to him. But it's funny to me this thread started and seems like a gossip column amongst grown men about what another man is doing on his own time with his own money then people comment about how rude the guy is to random strangers. Look at how he's being treated here. Id bet $80,000 it's not the first time. He's probably tired of dealing with little gossip girls. Get your own life, don't worry about his.

Like Mike if I could be like Mike, there are guys that drop much more than 80k on a hand. Just a different world

He makes the equivalent of $450,000 per day, Its like the average joe $275 a day, betting $50 on a hand. A bit much, but not crazy.

Is it happening? Are we attacking and saying negative thing about M.J?
I despise him, so seeing other people attack him gets me..OHHHHH..god you don't even want to know.

Overly dramatic statement of the day.
Yes. Because he's out there beating children and causing ruckus in the general public. Care to share more of your incredible insight? You must be a real hoot when you're giving eulogies for fellow friends and family. |

He then picked me up by the throat with one hand, the way Predator picks up Arnold Schwartetzetztgner as Dutch in the movie. Jordan then proceeded to punch me in the face no less than 10 times. True story. I swear.

As for your comments about eulogies, I don't know what the hell you're talking about. I was defending Jordan not adding to the negativity. |

He also farted on me while I was on the ground in pain. He had a lot of fiber that day.

Chasing a rush through gambling is not synonymous with being a terrible human, unless he is gambling outside his means (which, obviously he is not) or using it as a gateway for drug vices...or stealing from others to help feed his addiction. Again, I'm not quite seeing where your statement about him is in any way defending him. Do you barge into high roller poker sessions and say 'you're a terrible human being chasing a rush'...then follow it by saying...'hey, I'm defending you...I love your game!' |
