You mean the fucking awesome one where all he did was speak his mind and drop the truth? I wish more athletes had the balls to do it like MJ rather than the boring ass-kissing, sappy, paint-by-numbers acceptance speeches most athletes give. That speech was pure MJ, through and through. You understand just how fucking driven the guy was and still is.

For those Jordaphiles who don't actually watch basketball and only remember MJ from Space Jams and his Nike commercials, the man was wearing a full leather suit when he was invited to be a Judge at the All Star Dunk Contest.

lol at anyone who doesn't get that the speech captured the essence of the drive that lead the man to be the goat. I don't like him personally, I think he's a despicable human being actually, and who said the speech wasn't a trainwreck? That's the whole point - that it was, and it shows why jordan was such a dominator.bionic77 said:

If you're going by their importance to their sport and how close the next person to them is, it has to be Don Bradman.

Watching that, I realized how cheap the NBA has become. Half of those plays would've resulted in a bonus free throw these days.

He was undefeated in international competition for 13 years.
