It was easier to control back then

with the Nike/Pepsi/McDonald's machine making soo much money off dude they did their job.

Would be impossible to paint MJ in the same light with today's media

Can you imagine Instagram posts of Mike in casinos the night before a playoff game tho? [emoji]128514[/emoji][emoji]128514[/emoji][emoji]128514[/emoji]
Yeah I know those IG posts would be so crazy...cause he still got 6 rings regardless.
 
Who's cares, it's all relative at this point. Lebron took the time he had during a press conference to humiliate his team and himself in the process.
 
Perhaps it was due to circumstances but it doesn't change the fact he handled and controlled the media perfectly. I wouldn't be surprised if he would have adapted and done fine in this day in age either

So you think he wouldn't have been a compulsive gambler and cheated on his wife? Those are tough things to hide today

He is who he is eventually something comes out or you pull a Kobe and pick the wrong chick and next thing you know media circus.
 
Do you guys think Lebron work with dribble to much on his handles? From the looks of the series he wasnt able to beat no one of the dribble yet create space for a good shot. It was bully ball all the way. Im a fan of lebron but his game can be awful to watch sometimes.
 
If they had social media back in mj days he woulda been crucified

Son was a douche, had a gambling problem, and cheated on his wife for over a decade.

Made lebron look like a saint

that would of hand made him a bigger god. Mike not sleeping still putting numbers and winning games. >>> Lebron I can't sleep and I let my teammates and city down, but I'm still the best.
 
the injury that KD has is pretty serious so i dont think he will be better. its hard to have a better season than the one he had in 2014 when he won MVP

2014 season was incredible

But Kobes injury was/is also career damaging

But we seen how he came back against the odds

But hey Im no doctor and u just may be correct

improvements in his handle and footwork would do him wonders. his limited repertoire is cringe worthy at times :{

really? Look at Tiger, still loved.

You silly rabbit.
 
 
Wait. Hold up. A Bulls fan complaining about a player being arrogant? The man that has his own sub-forum here was even worse b...
wink.gif


You must be young and grew up on the Hinrich and Gordon era...
Jordan was never 1/10th this arrogant. Reference the video going around about being the "best in the world" and how MJ handled the question.
Word.....Jordan showed it behind the scenes but played the media the way a superstar professional is suppose to
 
Jordan was a genius with the media. And perception is reality


Yup.. Jordan was on his whole "republicans buy sneakers too" steez

The gambling and him being a psycho with teammates and basically anyone he competed with would have been hard to control in this day and age





But the real MJ was shown during dude's hall of fame speech.. All those petty, insignificant, perceived slights are what made dude great.. He genuinely hated losing at anything.. And literally was willing to do anything to win

It's why the rumors about his dad have any traction.. Given what we know about dude, it's believable that he wouldn't be able to throw a finals
 
Tiger Woods? you mean the same guy who hasn't been the same since the public ripped thru his personal life that Tiger?
 
Tiger who?
so you going to pretend that because Tiger is not playing well he is still not loved and is still one of the most coveted golfers in the game.


Please ....

Lebron has always said the wrong things during interviews, furthermore is sad because that's the way he actually feels.


Dude was posted up by green and instead of him playing hard D, dude was mad at TT because of what?


Dude is a self egoistical punk.

Tiger screwed himself.. Dude was probably a lame until he went pro out of Stanford.. Then he tried hanging out with the big dogs like MJ and Barkley


Hell, dude had a caddy that was making millions off of him and he had the gall to come out and talk sideways about tiger.. He should have been the 1st one in line trying jump on any potential grenade to protect his meal ticket

Impossible to know how he would've fared, but I do know that Jordan had that elusive 'it' factor with fans and media when it came to his image. People saw what they wanted to see. Not like those rumors weren't there in 96, but people went past it because when you like someone that's what you do. I think he would do fine in any generation of the media, just something he (along with a guy like Magic) was reaaaaaallllly good at
 
He was but he certainly handled the media better

Because the media wasnt so complex and demanding as it is now

So many different outlets nowadays poking at you

Steve kerr wouldnt have been the only dude mj socked

That may be the reason, (we don't know for sure) but read the rest of my posts. You are giving a hypothetical that he couldn't do it today. Maybe he could, maybe he couldn't, what I do know is he controlled and worked perfectly with the media when he played
