videotape said:Michael Jordan was my childhood hero, but that's been being spoiled by the more I read about him now, especially after that horrible Hall of Fame speech.
This. It showed once again why jordan was the greatest.Solo said: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.
If you have to explain who he is to 99.9% of the world, he's automatically disqualified.Antimatter said:Yiannis Kouros.
Holds nearly every ultramarathon record. 636 miles in six days.
I can't tell if you're joking. -_-elrechazao said:If you have to explain who he is to 99.9% of the world, he's automatically disqualified.
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::lol @ the Jordaphiles trying to convince themselves that Jordan's speech was anything other than a trainwreck.

This is the greatest athlete of all time?
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.

that full leather suit was genius, much like his hall of fame roast, er, speech. ony person that speech went bad for was old Jerry Johnson, the kid who got on the bball team when MJ didn't. fuckin burn.bionic77 said::lol @ the Jordaphiles trying to convince themselves that Jordan's speech was anything other than a trainwreck.

hehe, I'll retire from this thread to go play in the minors now.Blackace said:What have you done?!?!
Now we have to hear about how Jordan killed Brian Williams and his father..
The OP was who is the world's greatest athlete, not world's biggest asshole. A competition I am sure we can all agree that Jordan would win hands down.elrechazao said:lol at anyone who doesn't get that the speech captured the essence of the drive that lead the man to be the goat.

Don't forget that he knew he could never beat Magic straight up so he had to give him AIDS.Blackace said:What have you done?!?!

Eyemus Lutt 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.
Yeah he could also get to the conference finals without Scottie Pippen and Phil Jackson so he definitely is the greatest.Solo said:Jordan also could casually drop 45 on the Jazz in the NBA Finals after being "severly ill", AKA after a night of heavy drinking and gambling. Like a boss.
Machado said:Ken Griffey junior.
qoute me and say I'm right
But he rides a bike. /Charles BarkleyTarazet said:Based on that criteria, Lance Armstrong.
Personality: Strong, dominant, never say die.
Record: Broke the "unbeatable" record of 7 Tours de France.
Impact on the sport: Brought a new level of professionalism into a very antiquated sport.
Impact on society: Introduced those stupid Nike rubber bands.
Attitude: Most thorough, meticulous and professional bike rider on the scene ever.
Physical accomplishment: Went from triathlete to world champion to cancer patient to the winningest Grand Tour rider since Eddy Merckx.

Oh wait, thats right. He never did shit without either one there to make him look good.

How naive of you. You think he got that AIDS in Magic by putting it in a donut?Solo said:He never had to rape anyone either, for what its worth.

I believe anyone who has ever read the NBA threads can see the clearcut proof that Jordan killed his father and gave Magic AIDS. Stop spreading these fake AIDS myths. Neither condoms or Isiah Thomas can give you AIDS.Blackace said:Well considering how he looks like he is wearing a bullet proof vest these days...
Also I thought he got it from swapping fluids with Zeke
In order to post a similarly dominant career statistic as Bradman, a baseball batter would need a career batting average of .392, while a basketball player would need to score an average of 43.0 points per game. The respective records are .366 and 30.1.
