Question

http://superpunch.blogspot.com/2007/10/video-michael-jordan-discusses-time-he.html

Well we all know that the MEDIA loooooved MJ. They did anything to protect his "IMAGE". Jordan was given the weight of the NBA on his back due to his talent for the game, he made the NBA more popular worldwide.HOWEVER NOTHING NOT EVEN IF PEOPLE SAY YOUR THE GREATEST(Wilts the true Greatest not MJ) JUSTIFY'S ANYONE HITTING THEIR TEAMMATES.

Answer 1

He gets away with it because people think he's great. If he were a bum player he wouldn't have been in the league long.

Oscar Robertson was the same when he was younger often getting angred by his team mates play.

What both players forgot was nobody could rise their game to the same level as them.

Answer 2

cuz ESPN is on his side every time.

Jordan is only great as long as ESPN keeps putting all the positives on the front page, how many people actually know that M.J failed to win a single playoff series without Pippen, or that M.J's Bulls was never even a threat during the old Lakers-Celtics era?

Answer 3

Michael Jordan was the best and all of the media wanted to be his friend everyone wanted to say I know Michael I don,t know what type of  person Michael is but what I see I don,t like him as a black man

Answer 4

It's not ok, which is why he apoligized. No one said it was ok.

Answer 5

He gotta way with everything......He had his coaches Fired!...bad talked his teamates publicly , and quit on his team multiple times....but he gets a free pass cuz he sells shoes?...I don't get it?

reporter - MJ are you a democrat or republican?

MJ - I'm neither.......because both parties buy basketball shoes!....****MJ was a sellout**

Answer 6

Who said it was OK?

Answer 7

Big rigs get away with everything!  It's not just Mike Jordan, it's everybody from the president, to them dudes at Enron, to your boss!  All we can do is nothing and deal with it!

Answer 8

It's not o.k. for MJ to do that, it's not o.k. for any player to hit a teamate.
