2009 NBA Hall of Fame Ceremony post.

[inine5]

probably the most unique speech i've ever seen.... he basically went up there and called out everyone that got in his way, magic/larry/pat riley, the jazz,the knicks.... but that's him. we all know MJ was best at wanting to go out and prove everyone wrong BTW... john stockton was pretty funny guy

MJ is that dude.. I enjoyed listening his speech even though I'm a die hard Knicks fan.

MJ's chick, Yvette Prieto, is a model from Cuba.

 

[solefob]

he did mention scottie first in his speech.

was totally surprised that Rodman was there. He needs to be in the hall.

 

[tommykairaa]

damn mj coming back to the L

Great speech by MJ I really liked his speech.

Calling out Krause and Russell

 

[DownByLaw]

What a way to go out. As a Bulls fan I am so glad he put that douche Jerry Krause on blast. Apparently Krause refused to attend because Tex Winter wasn'tinducted. The truth is he knows Money hates him and would have put him on blast (as he did) and used the lame Tex story as a cover. Thanks for all of thememories Money.

Undoubtedly the greatest basketball player of all time and his legacy will live on forever. Hopefully he'll remain affiliated with basketball is some way,shape, or form for the rest of his years on this Earth. Such an inspirational guy. Never stray from the "game of basketball" Mike

Because it was recorded on film.

Crazy, just watching one of my childhood idols enter the hall. It was a privilege to watch the best, and understand where he got his strength from.
Truly inspiring, MJ is and always will be.

I wonder why didn't mention Chuck, least he mentioned Scottie at the beginning, and why wasn't Phil Jackson in attendance

 

[finnns2003]

I guess he just forgot with everyone and the time constraints, but I'm sure Charles understands. There shouldn't be any problems....afunny part to me was when he was like "Man I remember when Reinsdorf and the doctors told me when I came back from the foot injury in my 2nd year, that Icould only play 7 mins a game but I was practicing 2 hours everyday...I don't get that math...."

 

[1stand15th]

Great speech by MJ. It seemed like he really felt the magnitude of the moment and his emotions got the best of him

. Dude went in on Jerry

. Congrats to the other HOF'ers and props to an og high flyer in DavidThompson. Greatest hall of fame class ever?

Jordan's speech was great.

Jerry Sloan has to be the most boring person alive

David Robinson forgot to thank Poppovich.

 

[nycknicks105]

Anywhere I can watch the other speeches?
