What I find funny is that the stories about Jordan verbally abusing teammates gets “Yeah MJ!” “Atta boy” response from a lot of his fans, knowing damn well a lot of these cats wouldn’t tolerate that type of treatment themselves if they were subjected to that.
even Bill Cartwright has to check MJ with the threat of breaking his legs before MJ toned it down.
Those stories actually get more of that response from people who weren't necessarily MJ fans during his time lol. A lot of people who played team sports have likely come across these types of personalities. The league is comprised of just about the worst of them, even the "nice" ones. Either you assert yourself and address the issue, or get rolled over. There were a lot of guys who just couldn't fit their role on a team led by Michael Jordan, and we saw how they ended up. Every pro says they want to win. More than a few actually don't, because it's not always fun to win.
