Was Jordan as Arrogant as LeBron?

[gswarrior510]

Michael was absolutely flawless in the playoffs.

is that why he's 0-11 without Pippen?

please tell me more

[icewill36]

you dont need anything more than this video for ur answer.

t'was a gift and a minor curse....but nevertheless...a gift and a curse.

lol thats why artest broke MJs ribs

[DefensiveEnd896]

Lots of haters on here. God forbid someone isn't perfect.

To all those who say internet would of changed things w MJ.. How so? All he did that was somewhat controversial was gamble, allegedly cheat on his wife like probably 90% of NBA players and talk $hit to his teammates. Big freaking deal.

MJ great player
Terrible person
im surprised none of his teammates body bagged that arrogant p.o.s.

you dont see how these things would have been magnified if the internet was around ?

[rebelprettyboy]

I dont think LeBron is near as bad as MJ. And no LeBron isnt the greatest player of this era well I guess he can be for this decade at then end of it.

But
Kobe
Tim D
Shaq

GOATS of 2000 era

Kobe might take GOAT of the 2010 decade as well if LeBron doesnt win some rings considering Kobe has 2. But LBJ and Heat are gonna be a tough out from here on out. Didnt think they would win it last year. Claimed they would win it this year, still holding hope for my Lakers and a playoff run. Just gotta make some moves.

Jordan was the most arrogant outsie of maybe Reggie Miller. The difference between him and Lebron though, is that MJ was a winner and therefore it was acceptable.

everyone seems to hate on LBJ. i have a feeling that he will be winning a lot of championships in the coming years.

[John2285]

Internet would've made Jordan even bigger and more liked. People could say he was an ******* to his teamates but his teamates respected him b/c he was only an ******* because he wanted to win and push them to be better. I don't think Pip would've developed into the player he was if he didn't have Mike to push him either. Jordan was arrogant but in a classy way, a way that made you think he truly believed in his arrogance so it made you comfortable with it. Lebron's confidence doesn't seem nearly as authentic to me and it makes me feel weird about him.

[ShadowBarkley]

jordan was a cocky ass dirtbag ass *****.

but he was an alpha male in his playing days.

bron....guy is like a kid...just wants everyone to like him. says stupid ass sh!t...

[StrongM477]

strong amount of hate for lebron on these forums

[(o)./^\.(o)]

whats worse being arrogant or being a *******? jordan was cocky, lebron is a whiney little bish. Jordan didn't spend years trying to hide the fact that he's balding under a headband, he just went even BALDER (before it was in style). Jordan tried to beat the best of the best, not join them. jordan wanted to close out games, not disappear in crunch time.

jordan is comparable to kobe, lebron is a new 21st century kind of attention whore athlete. Jordan wanted to win at all costs, lebron just wants people to like him.

Man Jordans biggest contribution to the world wasn't even basketball. He did more for race relations in this country than in my opinion anyone in history. You didn't have white kids saying they wanted to be like a black athlete before Jordan AND they're parents approving... Jordan knew how to handle himself with reporters and the media like a president would or in some cases better than a president. Jordan was arrogant for a reason, a good one. People don't hate Lebron it's just dude aint won **** yet and he acts like he's a boss and that is what makes people not like him.

totally agree with the first part of your post.

[ezmac31]

well they kept isiah thomas off the dream team because jordan didnt like him even though he was a top 10 player in the league at the time..apparently he had no problem w/scrub christian laettner tho

[gentao]

he was an arrogant, showoff, ass but i was also a huge knicks fan back in the day

Payback for Isiah freezing MJ out of his first all-star game. Told everybody on the team not to pass to Michael.

Isiah also organized a real *******y walk-out after getting beat by the Bulls in the ECF in 1991. He led his team off the court and into the locker room while there was still like 10 seconds on the clock and a dead ball. Wouldn't even finish the game and take the loss like a man.


And I love Isiah on the court, one of my favorite players of all time. But he was a prick as well. A lot of the GOAT athletes are actually pricks in real life.

[big78]

I was a caddy at Butler Golf Course and they hated when Jordan would golf there.. He and his crew each had to have their own golf cart and blasted music on the course.

And he tried to pick up one of my friend's friends at the gym and wouldnt take no for an answer..

Money = attitude

Jordan really didn't do anything to get magnified IMO expect gambling. Plus, it's MJ, he was HUGE when he played. The media was all over him 24/7 then so I don't think the internet would have changed much when it comes to MJ. They took a poll back then and he was the #1 American people most wanted to be like ahead of guys like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs etc...

I've never met MJ or anything but I've never heard any bad stories about him doing anything that I view as seriously wrong. Most of the stories I hear r petty BS that may or may not be true.

[jsnyde45]

there are a lot of people who say jordan was an arrogant *******, but ive heard people who have been around him personally say that he was extremely respectful and a joy to be around.

[jayohthatman]

Not even close.

lol lebron is hands down the best player in the NBA. haters dont have to deny that, I dont like him but he IS the best player

[jayohthatman]

I'm so tired of all this "Lebron hasnt won anything" nonsense. He WAS ON THE FUKIN CAVS his entire career, they were SH*T. Give him shaq in his prime and watch how many championships he wins. Put jordan on the cavs and watch how he DOESNT win. Lebron even got that sh*it cavs team to the finals......by HIMSELF .you guys are idiots. The heat ran train last years playoffs, the first time Lebron had a real team. would have won a title if dirk didnt make every fade away he took.

[TexasMajor]

Jordan never played or tried to be liked on the court. Hes the greatest competitor ever to play the game and making friends was the least of his worries. It was all business on the court. Some saw it as disrespectful or arrogant...I didnt.

lol @ posters in here acting like they knew Jordan IRL. Youre not even considered acquaintances to MJ and you act like you know how he was off the court.

[Love Pirate]

Jordan was so arrogant that he spent his hall of fame acceptance speech dissing players that he beat during big plays in his career (Bryan Russell)

this. same goes for Lebron and any other misc target. Dude are analyzing the guy's character and personality like they are his fuking psychiatrist.

[eurobroski]

The difference is that Jordan was like a Steve Jobs type of egomaniac. He wanted perfection from everyone and wouldn't tolerate poor play. So yeah, he supposedly was a real ******* towards guys like Steve Kerr and BJ Armstrong, but from the point of only wanting to play with tough, capable players. He didn't have the need to be a rapstar idiot like Lebron.

[InnerThighChafe]

Michel Jordan has a Hitler mustache. I mean, just look at this thing

If this doesn't tell you he has Nazi meetings on his spare time I don't know what does.













not srs

A rapstar idiot like LeBron?









You thinking of these guys?

Age:20
I've said it time and time again, you kids have no idea.

I'll take winners who shine in the big moments over a stat stuffer who disappears in crunch time and has to join two superstars to even remotely have a chance of winning.

whats does being 20 have to do with me saying Lebron is the best player CURRENTLY. Im not comparing him to jordan or anything.

also what "winners" are you talking about? Im guessing guys who had some kind of supporting cast for more than one season. Lets, see. boston has a big 3, kobe was winning when Gasol was playing well and he's at least a borderline all-star. The mavs have a complete team. those are the recent "winners". nobody can do it on their own, why do people expect Lebron to. He would have a ring right now if Dirk didnt catch stupid fire last june

[FlabbyAndSick]

Most of Jordan's teammates hated him and/or were afraid of him.

LeBron is at least liked by his teammates.

Fear >>>> Love

6/6 in the Finals with teammates giving their maximum effort to not upset Lord Jordan.
