he came back with the wizards, to what was considered a tragedy lol.Originally Posted by CharmCityKid
They are broadcasting a fairy tale and allowing Michael Jordan to live happily ever after at our expense.
he's back as an owner, which he's considered to be one of the worst lol.
No fairy tale, if he did his dirt, he paid by retiring.
the amount of money they posted he lost to gambling...is not even 1% of how much salary he made off endorsements per year.
I don't know what percentage would consider someone to have a problem, but less then 1% is really insignificant to
someone with that much $
(to people making $80k a year, thats like losing $800 in gambling lol)

^This. Nothing mentioned Magic at all. The gambling stuff isn't new news at all. It was always rumored that his father's death had something to do with his bad habits, but we'll never know. For those saying "if it's on the internet, then it's true", please know that these rumors were going around way before the common use of the internet as it is know now, so I wouldn't necessarily go that route. Of course I think there is some truth to this, look at what MJ has done for the NBA while he was playing, and to be quite honest, while there is plenty of great talent playing today, they don't quite have the same cache as MJ did ( I hate to even say that because he is such a **** in real life, but face facts, it's true). What I think people missed in this article is that he, unlike any other superstar in any sport, was actually BIGGER than the sport he played. How many times do you hear people say "________ is the Michael Jordan of ________". That phrase is used, so what does that tell you? I do believe Stern protected his product (the NBA) and it's motor of the product at the time (MJ).So why wouldn't he tell him to chill out until things cool down and then come back. I don't think it was a total conspiracy, but just a perfect storm of things. He was THAT good and yes you could not call certain fouls, but the way he played lent itself to have arguments of favoring him for calls and excitement. It was just enough to piss you off and keep you entertained at the same time. Hell, his legacy stemming from his initial run with the Bulls still lives through the lines people stand on for retros. That gives you an idea of how big he still is.
I actually did both. Read the post and skimmed the link. Did I miss something from the link? I'll look again.Originally Posted by Tr1ll
