His Airness Michael Jordan

haha :D What about you ask him and others? Tell me what they think. I already looked up stats about this and I certainly don't agree with you.

If Kobe makes it to the HOF, Bowen should automatically be there and even before him kasi basura si Kobe sa kanya as you put it.

 

I'm a basketball fan, a laker fan and a Jordan fan.

 

Michael should have gotten over those things he said and be the bigger man since he is the GOAT.

 

 

 

yup, "Dumars was supposedly his toughest defender."

 

Kobe had a difficult time with Bowen...that's the idea of it...

 

-ang layu naman ng logic...it's just like saying Dumars should also automatically be in the HOF...b'coz MJ had a very hard time with him <_<

Bryon Russell has a message for Michael Jordan: Whenever you’re ready, I’ll be waiting in California – in my basketball shorts.

 

“I’ll play his a— right now,” Russell told Yahoo! Sports. “This is a call-out for him to come play me. He can come out here in his private jet and come play. He’s got millions of dollars. He can pay for the jet. He can meet me at the Recreation Center in Calabasas.

 

“We can have Mark Jackson do the commentating. We can have Mitch Richmond do the officiating. We can put it on TV and see if Michael’s still got it.”

 

Jordan spent much of his enshrinement speech at the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame singling out players and coaches who had slighted, criticized or motivated him. Russell merited a special mention.

 

After Jordan’s first retirement from the NBA, he was playing minor-league baseball and stopped by the Chicago Bulls’ practice facility, where the Utah Jazz were working out. Jordan said Russell, then a rookie with the Jazz, introduced himself and challenged him.

Unang una kaya nanalo Pistons sa kanila hindi nag step up ang mga kakampi ni Jordan. Ang offense talagang kay Jordan lang nageevolve. Nababasa ko dati dito nung humina ang Lakers na dapat magtiwala si Kobe sa mga kakampi niya. The same with jordan. He didn't trust his teammates that much considering they have deep bench. Kaya nga lumabas ung Jordan Rules noon. They usually double or triple team Jordan. In 1991, they were able to dispose of the Pistons in 4 games. The reason. Jordan was sharing the ball with his teammates. At the same time, his teammates responded especially Pippen and Grant. Dati si Pippen pagka kalaban ang Pistons tumutupi. I have to agree that Dumars defended Jordan well. But he had a lot of help from the Pistons. We all know that Joe D cannot shut down Jordan one on one.

When Jordan started playing for the Bulls, they did not have a formidable lineup. Overcoming the Pistons made them a championship contender all the way. I never liked the Pistons. Laimbeer flopped at the same time he was a dirty player. One time Jordan lost his cool and he punched Laimbeer in the face. This happened during the 1988 playoffs. At the same time they wore short shorts while the rest of the players in this league where making a transition of wearing longer shorts.

^^ Kaya nga sila Bad Boys eh! As for the Bulls, yeah it took them awhile to become contenders. Mostly because Jordan was good enough to carry them to the playoffs. Thus no high draft picks. In '87, GM Krause then did a masterful trade for the rights to Scottie Pippen while adding Horace Grant and trading Oakley for Cartwright soon after. With this core and replacing Doug Collins with Phil Jackson, the stage was set and the rest, as the saying goes, is history.

 

Natawa naman ako dun sa short shorts! What has that got to do with anything? :rolleyes:

Difficult is different from basura. Dumars can make it to HOF - very hard time but not basura si MJ to Dumars. Can you say basura si MJ to Dumars?

 

Even Rodman may have a shot at the HOF.

 

Malayo pa rin ba ang logic?

kaya lang naman laging scoring champion si jordan & won 6 nba

title coz hindi siya natapat sa peak/time nina lebron,kobe, shaq, garnet etc. etc.

during the 90's. masuwerte si michael nung 90's at nataon wala pa yung mga

high caliber players nung time na yun. at nataon na yung existing high caliber

players nung time na yon past their prime na at palaos na. :P

 

You must be kidding us! Apart fro Kobe & Shaq, me isang ring si KG & ilan ke LBJ? Maswerte sila Kobe Lebron, Shaq, KG na retired na ngaun sila Charles Oakley, Anthony Mason, Bill Laimbeer, Dennis Rodman dahil di na nila mararamdaman ang ibig sabihin ng HARD FOUL.

 

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.

 

ha ha! I knew it. I was able to sense your intention & I would say it brought out a pretty nice arguement amongst basketball fanatics. :thumbsupsmiley:

 

Also, I was sadden why he still had to say those things he said in his HOF induction. :(

 

para sa akin sa panahon ni jordan ang piston talaga nag pahirap sa kanya..... sa panahon ni kobe i pick battier then bowen.... beside kobe already pick him ( battier ) wen he was interview. i read dat in yahoo sports....

 

y si dumars wala pa sa hof??? sensya n d ko alam ito eh.....

 

Agree.... Next would be the New York Knicks. Marquee players before knew the TRUE meaning of HARD foul whenever they go up against the "Bad Boys" of Detroit & the mean defenders of Knicks.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jerry West - "I've said for years that he's the greatest player I've ever seen," West says by telephone. "He was the best offensive player and he was the best defensive player. I know Scottie Pippen got a lot of credit for being a great defensive player. He wasn't Michael Jordan, trust me."

 

Joe Dumars - "MJ was different than any other player you could prepare for," e-mails Joe Dumars, himself a Hall of Famer, and the lynchpin to the Pistons' infamous "Jordan Rules," Detroit's line of defense against Jordan. "You simply defended him as tough as possible and HOPED that he was off that night."

 

BJ Armstrong - "Michael's competitive nature probably forced people to do things that they wouldn't normally due -- which is hold themselves accountable and responsible," says B.J. Armstrong, who won three championships in Chicago playing with Jordan in the backcourt. "If you didn't hold yourself accountable, I don't think you'd last very long on a team with Michael Jordan."

 

Pat Riley - No doubt in Riley's mind about who the best player ever is.

 

"When you're talking about the best of all time category, and you have a debate about it, there are always other players who have flaws," he says. "You can pick out a flaw... Michael didn't have any. He was flawless, across the board. The thing that made him above and beyond everyone else was his intimidating, prodigious appetite to win, and the graceful disdain he showed for the opponent." Riley would never use Jordan as an example for his players. He tried every psychological trick he could to stoke up their hatred for Jordan, because he knew that Jordan would destroy the meek, the players of lesser talents that held him in too much regard, gave too much respect.
