**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

More importantly, did he play college in the States? Did he?

Nope. He dominated a professional league instead of mid-major schools.

How come the great Ron Baker isnt on that list?

 

[storm2006]

How fast can he run and how high can he jump though?

He is a scrappy gym rat with a high IQ that is a sneaky athlete and student of the game. Should have known he would be fine

Random question: y’all ever bagged a bartender while she’s on the job? I’ve had some good conversations and flirting but have never smashed one. I think the conflict of interest is too high.

Pretty sure I had a good chance with a lady bartender at the airport once. Got pretty chatty with her while my flight was delayed...I got some vibes for her...But she was like 65 and I had to catch my flight, so...nope.

Cant wait for the overly exaggerated hug between Lebby and Wade at half court tonight. Then some corny *** Instagram post after the game.

Sarcasm flew over your head knicks brethren

Mike was a mfer

But just as Jordan is gliding toward a SportsCenter-worthy night, Jackson pulls him out of the game. De-Michaelization and all.

"He’s not going to let me win the scoring title," Jordan whines to guard B.J. Armstrong as he sits on the bench.

In the 1990 playoffs against the Pistons, Scottie Pippen had been leveled by a migraine headache before Game 7 — a humiliating event for a young player. When the Bulls lost to the Pistons the next spring and Pippen played badly, Jordan said, "Headache tonight, Scottie?"

The next fall, forward Stacey King showed up at training camp overweight. The Bulls nicknamed him "Doughboy." When he got a chance to start three games, King somehow grabbed only one defensive rebound. "Listen to this," Jordan told teammates in King’s presence. "You ever hear of a guy, 6’11" maybe and 260 pounds, a guy big and fat like that and he can’t get but two rebounds, if that many, running all over the damn court … ?"

Jordan continued: "Big guy like that and he gets one rebound. Can’t even stick his *** into people and get more than that."

Stiiiiill going: "Big, fat guy. One rebound in three games. Power forward. Maybe they should call it powerless forward.

King finally snapped. "I’m gonna kick his *** one day," he said. "You wait. My time will come and I’ll get him. I’ll shut his mouth."

But Jordan was the king, and the bloodiest battles for resources tended to be between him and the teammates he called "my supporting cast." "Screw you, M.J.," Grant said after one game. "All you care about is your points and everyone knows it. You don’t care about anything but yourself."

"You’re an idiot," Jordan replied. "You’ve screwed up every play we ever ran. You’re too stupid to remember the plays. We ought to get rid of you."

The white guys [John Paxson and Ed Nealy], they work hard, but they don't have the talent. And the rest of them? Who knows what to expect? They're not good for much of anything."

I love that Stacey King story.
Every time I hear it is just as good as the first.

Mike was a helluva motivator.
He had to dig deep in his bag but he had some "constructive criticism" for all his teammates.
