Why You NEVER Poke Michael Jordan - A Trash Talk Story Told By NBA Legends

[@itzthejhenny]

Jordan was a psycho when it came to competing. He would be hated if he played now. He's the GOAT.

[@afb8370]

The players of today just want to cash in their social media presence they don't care about competition or fans, that's why current NBA ratings are in the dumps.

[@Al.j.Vasquez]

He would get personal calls from Adam Silver threatening him to stop his behavior because it possibly encourages fighting on the court 😂😂😂 soft ass commissioner.

[@nikoladjordjic9566]

He played to win, not for minutes and points :)

[@BLUEDELUCA]

If Lebron held the ball out at a rookie on the bench and said “watch this” he would power bull his way to the basket, travel then lose the ball with no one near him then put his hands up while looking at the ref in disbelief that he didn’t call a foul then look for a team mate to blame before holding his wrist and wincing in pain.

[@BRYANARMSTRONG-h8i]

AND THEN HE WOULD BECOME THEE NBA'S ALL TIME LEADING SCORER. AND HEEZ NOT EVEN A SHOOT FIRST GUY. AND AS FAR AS THE WHINNING & COMPLAINING LEBRON AIN'T GOT NOTHING ON OSCAR ROBERTSON OR MAGIC JOHNSON. IF YOU ARE MY AGE I GOT TO SEE THE "BIG O" PLAY FOR HIS LAST 3 SEASONS AND UM TELLING YOU THAT BROTHER STILL THINKS TO THIS DAY HE NEVER FOULED ANYBODY. AND MAGIC OH MAN EVERY SINGLE TIME MAGIC DROVE DOWN THE LANE FOR THE LAYUP, IF ANYONE CONTESTED HIM HE HAD THIS HABIT OF CRYIN OUT LIKE SOMEONE JUST CHOP 🪓 PED HIM IN THE NECK WITH A HATCHET NOW I'VE BN A LAKER FAN SINCE 1974 MAGIC IS MY GUY.

There will never be another one like him! Who has that swag, confidence & can back it up? Nobody

[@gene081976]

That’s the one thing people don’t consider a lot in the GOAT debate, is Jordan is like NBA Sun Tzu. He plans psychological war plans against other teams. 13 seasons of terror and mind games.

MJ was the essence of Basketball, and everyone else was just in his way.

[@jeffhowell1522]

MJ was advertised that way, at the time the NBA was full of Hall of famers, watch the pacers versus the bulls Eastern conference finals, Scottie pippen committed 41 fouls by halftime, the pacers beat the bulls but they could not beat the refs as well, Michael was the chosen one.

EJ is such cool dude, he is hilarious, his story on Bird is good too. I met TC once many years ago, he was doing a Suns broadcast; very nice and polite, got his autograph. I miss the old days of the NBA.

[@havok5538]

EJ is from a long line of greats that were created in the Chicago Public League Red-West Division. From the 70s thru the 90s CHICAGOLAND Prep Basketball 🏀 was nearly unparalleled

[@travisjazzbo3490]

When a man is so good he has to look for reasons to motivate himself. I guarantee no one is talking about LeBron like this the year after he retires, much less 5, 10, or 20 years later

[@jjuninc77]

Never

[@J-Hue]

It sounds like some of his opposition was just soft and too in awe of him. Bird did what he wanted against Jordan and his team. Magic did his thing. Isiah went crazy on them when healthy averaging 27, 5, and 5 in the conf finals. A lot of that comp from the 90's may have been mentally weak.

[@travisjazzbo3490]

@@J-Hue Too soft? LOL In the era MJ played guys were soft? You must be really young. Absolutely ZERO people who know anything about MJs era would ever say that. Yeah, the Pistons had a ton of talent. Yeah, Isiah was a great player and so was Bird... Jordan is the GOAT of this history of the NBA that did far more with far less on his team than those guys you must mentioned who had far more players with All-Star appearances than MJ ever had

A lot of people are missing the point here. It wasn't about Dan M. Jordan was going after somebody he perceived as being loved and respected by Jerry Krause. Just fill in the blank, that somebody could have been any player. It was all about Jerry Krause.

[@jtremaine23]

Yep…he saw Jerry Krause’s face on Majerle’s body. Same thing happened to Kukoc. He also saw Jeff Van Gundy’s face on every Knicks player in the “Con man” game lol. That’s how he played and it didn’t matter who you were.

The fact they even need to shxt on the past to make the present look good shows you how weak the NBA now is lol. More talent now? Tougher? Riiight. So talented you need days off cos your talent needs to load manage. So respectable that the biggest star of this era needs to demand for respect after winning a Mickey Mouse ring. So tough that nobody plays D in the Allstar Game anymore and top players whine about double and triple teams. Right. I think the league ultimately is a reflection of its fans and vice versa. And if this is the level of intelligence today's fans have for the game and history, why are we even wondering why ratings are falling 😂 Smh

@@AnOnY_MoU5 First he never played Kobe in the finals the Bulls only played the Lakers twice a year and when they did play Kobe gave Jordan everything he wanted and then some at 19 and 20. Second the only reason the Bulls swept Orlando was because Grant got hurt and played 1 game, Shaq was dealing with nagging injuries plus Penny was still giving David Stern 's cash cow all he wanted. Jordan is the most over hyped player ever , He played against coke heads, drunks, slow ass white boys and stiffs. It took David Stern, Nike and refs for his cry baby ass to win .
