Remeber his HOF induction speech? He'll always be MJ.
really bothered me. I am actually a really big Jordan fan and became a big Bulls fan despite living in Michigan because of him. If there was one moment, just one time that he could have let his guard down and removed that chip from his shoulder, the induction speech should have been in it. He had a chance for a really really memorable and classy moment with that and went spectacularly in the other direction. I bet you he wishes he had a do-over with that. When you think about other players induction speeches (Dion Sanders comes to mind), they really inspire. Jordan missed the mark badly on that.
Jordan will take that bet at 5-1.
I never understand why people were so shocked and bothered by Jordan's speech. Everybody loves the on-court, serial killer Jordan, but wants him to be a teddy bear off of it. The man was the best of all time because he was an absolute assassin who created things to be pissed about and did not accept anything less than winning. He was also the most confident player I have ever seen in any situation. The man literally believes he can win anything, any time. His manufactured grudges and constant searching for weakness in others didn't disappear when he stopped playing. His HOF speech was him being himself. Is he an ass? Sure. Did that probably help him become the best player ever? Likely.
You mean 1991. 1990 was awesome.
So what were they doing with those 500 hours of unseen footage before Hehir decided to ask for it?
And will they address the Crying Jordan meme?
This should be really good. Bill Simmons really deserves credit for this, but the trend to develop documentaries of older sporting figures and events is great.
Interesting, BTW: Looks like MJ is, indeed, going to outlast SI.
This is the kind of logic that makes me roll my eyes in this whole debate. If you're coming into it with the opinion that Jordan is the greatest basketball player there could ever possibly be, you are wrong, and you are clearly biased. A big part of MJ's apparent greatness stems purely from his mythos at this point.
I assumed he was talking about sports that matter.
Gretzky was a goal scorer. Gordie Howe was all-around player, including defense and rough stuff. Without "enforcers" to protect him, Gretzky woudn't have have the accolades he does.
is the most dominate player to ever play a sport and people who disagree, just don't like hockey or understand it. The guy dominated sport like no other athlete has ever dominated a single sport ever.
I'm not even a Gretzky fan, but can definitely acknowledge just how great he was.
Agree. I always stated his records will never be broken without major rule changes and some new prodigy coming along. I think a moderate second may be Jerry Rice, but damn Gretzky was just unreal. Maybe their was some dude who dominated darts, bowling, pole vault or some other lessor sport to a greater degree, but i doubt it.
and it goes far beyond points. no denying gretzky's greatness, don't get me wrong, but gordie could and did do it all. best scorer, best fighter, toughest dude.
agreed to that
a gordie howe hat trick - goal, assist, and a fight.
nobody could do it all like gordie.
My favourite Gretzky memory...my dad telling me no one was allowed to draft him in the play off pool he was in.
they cited a fan blog that listed gordie's first two, but didn't say that's all he had, or at least what i read of it. i think he had more than that. indeed, if it was only done twice it would be hard to think it would be a 'thing' that people ever continued to keep track of.
i did google. did find the wiki and cited it to you as the language being ambiguous. you must be what, 75-85 years old then to have the memory of those games? or maybe you watched them all on whatever tape existed starting in the '40's? that is really cool, where did you find those archives?
I’ll go back and watch my beta tapes of Gretzky now. I misread your original post..text is too small for my old eyes.
How do you get over 2300 points in less than 2 months?
He's Putin on the ritz.
if Gretzky had never scored a goal in his life he would still be the all time points leader in the NHL, but you think there are better players then him....... OK.....
So the best of all-time regardless of sport is only the 4th best in his sport according to you? And 'barely' the 4th best at that?
I didn't see Gordie Howe play. So I can't compare him. But what I saw from Gretzky, he did things that were way beyond what I had ever seen in hockey. I mean way beyond. Who could have even imagined the magic he did before seeing it actually happen.
Jordan is second to that.
LeBron is....... I don't even care where.
I'll put Barry Sanders 3rd
Alan Page 4th
Jerry Rice 5th, though I wouldn't argue with anyone who would put Jerry Rice 3rd
You can't argue winning, but you can argue context. Jordan from 1984 -1990 didn't win anything. It wasn't until the great teams of the 80's, the Lakers, the Celtics, the Pistons, fell by the wayside that MJ and the Bulls were able to emerge as the dominant team that they became. The Bulls dominance of the 90's says just as much about the state of the NBA game than about Jordan's greatness, which was able to flourish because it existed in something of a vacuum within the league.
think Lebron should worry about winning one game against a Boston team without their only two all-stars in the lineup before we discuss whether he is a better basketball player than Michael F-ing Jordan.
And the other six will be about "the decision"
