Mike and Mike were sucking him off today. He wrote the piece on Jordan about him turning 50 in ESPN the mag and that was a good article especially since it showed what a piece of shit Jordan is as a person. I guess his article on Manziel and his worthless parents is the hot new story from Thompson.

^speaking of that piece, I just read it. Good gracious. It is easy to see why Johnny is so jacked up. His dad/family is as wacked out as they come. I can only imagine what its like behind closed doors.

^^ how did you read that and think it made Jordan out to be a piece of shit?

maybe you didn't read it?

^ Yep I did not read. What the fuck was I typing?? Let's see, in the article it talks about how Jordan treats his own people like crap, how he expects his friends/colleagues to abide by his every demand (i.e. waking people up because he is ready to party), how he is obsessed with still playing and getting to his playing weight even though that ship has sailed, how he studies Lebron because he is concerned about his legacy and he tries to find weaknesses in Lebron's game, etc. Dude is obsessed with his legacy even though his legacy is unmatched.

Yes I fucking read it. How you could read that and come away with a good impression of Jordan is a better question. Maybe you did not read it and are talking out your ass. Even Greenburg said that the Jordan piece by Thompson made Jordan out as a bad person (which he is).

^^ that story was about how the most ultra-competitive athlete of our generation was struggling to fill the competitive void at age 50

I could listen to the argument that the piece made him come off as petty. but a piece of shit? that's offensive to actual pieces of shit.

Not trying to derail this thread, but I honestly think Michael Jordan is a piece of shit. Granted that is simply my opinion.
