So Jordan, the wealthiest and biggest superstar athlete of any generation to that point, didn't have any power? Even Joe Frazier helped out Muhammed Ali financially. |

An opinion with absolutely no basis in fact. The fact is that Krause and Reinsdorf had a long-standing and immutable policy of not renegotiating contacts once they were agreed to. Everyone knew that, not just within the Bulls organization, but the entire NBA as well. As for your last, I won't deign to make this personal with you. Read any post/thread I've ever written about any player and the results are boringly consistent. I never defend or support any player blindly. Just as I've never been completely negative about a player. I've always been as realistic as possible about every player or coach. Well, except Billy O., who I think is an idiot. |

Jordan's job was not philanthropy, it was sports excellence.

So a strawman my argument based off of one line and ignore the supporting points in the rest of the post? Cool.

Said it for years, Jordan was lucky he was in the era of the highlight. In the era of social media he would have been destroyed.

If Jordan had so much power than Phil Jackson would still be the coach after his last season and Jordan would have played another season. Instead the let Phil go and Jordan retired. Players shouldn't get involved in other players contracts. The fact that you call him selfish because of that just sounds like you have an ax to grind. |

MJ was the boss. None of the players on any of those 6 championship teams would have been anywhere near the level of success they achieved without Michael. Including Scotty.

He didn't make any true sacrifices, he just did whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted, and didn't lose a penny in the process. Quote:

The Last Dance
I'm loving reliving all those moments. What a great team to watch.

ESPN is playing the Game 6 right now. I forgot how shitty a play by play announcer that Bob Costas was. It sucks Marv Albert got busted for sexual assault. Costas is a pompous ass wipe.

Not one No Tippn' Pippen reference. That's probably why that pizza got ****ed with.

The title "last dance" sounds like the name of one of those teen movies, I could've came up with something better, just saying.

Finished "Last Dance" just now. Great stuff. One of the few shows I know I'm going to re-watch in the near future. And how I miss '90s basketball.
