bubuy Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 'most' great competitors are brash, arrogant. that's what gives them the edge, the killer's mentality to win, to finish, to close. that's what russell/wilt/kareem/magic/bird/kobe/shaq/garnett/etc etc got. that's what lebron is trying to emulate (no handshakes, anyone?). the only one who i can think of who is quite different is duncan. but who knows what REALLY goes on in his mind. maybe he just doesnt show it.

peterparker Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 an excerpt from an article about Air Jordan`s HOF induction: "This wasn’t a Hall of Fame induction speech, but a bully tripping nerds with lunch trays in the school cafeteria. He had a responsibility to his standing in history, to players past and present, and he let everyone down. This was a night to leave behind the petty grievances and past slights – real and imagined. This was a night to be gracious, to be generous with praise and credit." considered by many as the best basketball player in history-- yet unbelievably arrogant.. :thumbsdownsmiley: :mtc: Quote Link to comment
Eddy Syet Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Di ko pa napanood yung speech pero sabi nga ng utol ko di daw maganda... hays... madownload nga... Quote Link to comment
ice_x2004 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 If there is a list of the greatest people who played the sports of Basketball of all time, I think Michael Jordan should be no. 1. JORDAN IS THE BEST PERIOD Quote Link to comment
dencio Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Dati pa naman arogante si Jordan kahit na nung naglalaro pa siya. Diba he was considered among the best trash talkers in the NBA? Also, i distinctly remember in 1 of the Bulls' championships, Jordan grabbed the ball away from one of his teammates who had the gall to try to keep that souvenir (MJ always keeps the game ball from their championship games). May nagawa ba si teammate - eh di wala! "There is no I in TEAM but there is an I in WIN!" Haha! Priceless! :hypocritesmiley: Quote Link to comment
protozoan Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 'most' great competitors are brash, arrogant. that's what gives them the edge, the killer's mentality to win, to finish, to close. that's what russell/wilt/kareem/magic/bird/kobe/shaq/garnett/etc etc got. that's what lebron is trying to emulate (no handshakes, anyone?). the only one who i can think of who is quite different is duncan. but who knows what REALLY goes on in his mind. maybe he just doesnt show it. you're right.. but.. while all of those bitterness did help him a lot to make his achievements, at a time when he is being honored and considering that he has retired for years, he should have buried all that bitterness and instead just try to inspire all those who look up to him to work hard to achieve what they want in life the way he did!

kanto-terrorist Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 (edited) thanks guys for giving me what im asking for... im just testing the waters. im just so sick of a lot of posters who kept on saying Jordan is the Best...blah blah... but didnt care to elaborate as why. and i will always respect that. MJ is one of the most iconic personalities who we will wish to stay on the court and do his thing and never let him go outside of it. Basing on his HOF speech, It just shows what kind of person he is. Blame it on his ultra competetiveness nature that goes out of hand. Whats wrong is that he's been honored and gave speech alongside the very classy David Robinson, who, may not be a Michael Jordan in terms of accomplishments, but heads and shoulders above as a respectable human being. What a contrast. Nevertheless. He's will still be the icon of Bastketball. While the rest of the honorees gave thanks and inspiration, MJ just showed to us all that years after his retirment, he's still not at peace and still want to prove that he still have every revenge there could be. All of us may be looking up to him, but that speech made me think that even for a man of that godly status, we should pity him. He's almost no different to Michael Jackson.
