Flying the guy in, who got your spot on your high school team, to rub it in his face is a dick head move. He is the greatest to ever play and when i was a kid i tried to copy all of his moves and dunks as did many kids who grew up watching him. Now Im realizing more and more how much of a prick this guy is and its kind of ruining my memory of him.

He didn't have to go. Everybody is a prick to somebody else at sometime, So what.

If Jordan told him "I'm going to rub your face in poo if you come with me" then your point is valid.

After watching his acceptance speech, I have to say that there is A LOT of bitterness and resentment oozing from the author of this article. He obviously did not understand the context in which all these things were said (or chose not to?). And it's not surprising that he could find a couple of NBA insiders that also shared his view since there was always quite a bit of resentment/jealousy towards Jordan from some league personnel.

However, most of Jordan's speech revolved around his competativeness, and how that is what drove him to reach the levels he did. In each of the instances the article used to point out Jordan's "bitterness," MJ was just exemplifying them to show how he looked for any little slight to motivate himself and work harder to get better and prove something. In fact, he even thanked them because they helped make him into the player he became. What came glaring through was that Jordan could, and would, make anything a competition. If he felt challenged or slighted in any way, he would set his sights on the source, and try to prove them wrong.

So, based on what I heard in Jordan's speech, I don't think there was any slight intended or that he has any lingering bitterness. But the thing that each of these things had in common was that they all drove and motivated MJ...and he was just acknowledging that.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      Okay, so answer this one then, since you said you can't answer something you don't think will happen...... You have said numerous times in the past that even though you want them, you don't think Deion will allow us to take his son or Hunter. You then taking Ward #1 over T-Mac just because he's the QB?

      Thanks for that sounds very interesting.   I have a scientific mind usually and don’t believe in wide spread conspiracy theories but with the NBA it’s so obvious.  The fuggin rigged draft is something only an idiot wouldn’t see.  But the NBA is 100% about big market money.  It’s not even a real league.  It’s 10 teams that have a shot.

      This response is absolutely and utterly insane, I've literally this same thing out multiple times in previous posts about mock drafts, like a bunch of times. I've never once denied it's a possibility of them going #1, I've just said that I wouldn't take them there. And YET AGAIN, you're proving that you don't believe they are elite QB prospects, you literally just said "first prospects off the board REGARDLESS OF TALENT" It's literally what I've been saying this whole time, these QB's don't have the draft grades to deserve that pick.  They're only being mocked there because mocks are trying to predict the draft, not saying who deserves to be drafted where.   Dude, this is exactly why I question your reading comprehension skills.  You keep trying to say you got me with something, but in those exact posts you're just proving my points, the literal opposite of catching me in some lie or moment of ignorance.
