Jordan and Barkley talk about the new 'big three' *Shots fired*

[Dick Shitman]

lmao, kop you struggling tonight homie

 

[jay83]

lol @ Barkely. No rings. He has no say so.

Jordan is just a different cat. If it was up to him he would play 3 on 5 and would love every minute of it. He loves the pressure and responsibility. Lebron dosent.

I think though with Lebron, Wade, and bosh; they want to have fun and win. With jordan, winning was an addiction and also a must. It was everything.

But with these 3, they want to look back and say we had fun, and we won.

Jordan has 6 rings and more money than anybody and still is bitter. lol I dont think Lebron wants to go that route.

And no im not a Lebron fan. (im a hakeem olujuwon stan lol)

"There's no way, with hindsight, I would've ever called up Larry, called up Magic and said, 'Hey, look, let's get together and play on one team,'" Jordan said after finishing tied for 22nd in the American Century Championship golf tournament in Stateline, Nev. "But that's ... things are different. I can't say that's a bad thing. It's an opportunity these kids have today. In all honesty, I was trying to beat those guys."

Jordan shares his disappointment of Heat Big Three

Tell Ken your opinion!











LAS VEGAS -- The latest Big Three backlash came Sunday from none other than Michael Jordan, who contributed his weighty opinion to the debate about whether LeBron James should've teamed up with two superstars instead of trying to beat them.

"There's no way, with hindsight, I would've ever called up Larry, called up Magic and said, 'Hey, look, let's get together and play on one team,'" Jordan said after finishing tied for 22nd in the American Century Championship golf tournament in Stateline, Nev. "But that's ... things are different. I can't say that's a bad thing. It's an opportunity these kids have today. In all honesty, I was trying to beat those guys."

Love the article. Great piece. Good shit. But there is one part I want to point out. I feel the absolute neeeeed to point this out. Cause it pisses me off to no end.

one in which he made an unfortunate comparison between the Heat losing a couple of games in a row and the collapse of the World Trade Center.

"We enjoy the bull's-eye," Wade said. "Plus, there's going to be times when we lose 2-3 games in a row, and it seems like the world has crashed down. You all are going to make it seem like the World Trade is coming down again, but it's not going to be nothing but a couple basketball games."

I have to assume that Wade didn't intend to equate losing basketball games to a murderous act of war against innocent civilians, but these are the kind of tone-deaf quotes you get sometimes in sports.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIT a muhfuckn minute.

The point Wade was trying to make, I think -- and one he made poorly -- is that anything less than a championship for the Heat will be considered a failure. Along those lines, several GMs and personnel people I spoke with during Las Vegas Summer League aren't convinced that the Larry O'Brien Trophy should be shipped to South Beach just yet.

No nigga. No that was not his point. That wasn't anywhere near his point. Are we reading the same shit? For starters he wasn't "comparing" basketball to the World Trade attacks. He was comparing the media frenzy following a sports frenzy to the World Trade attacks

Secondly, Wade's point was that every fan/hater/stan/news writer is going to try to summarize their season based on every losing streak they have. And to him it's like, "No nigga, stfu and let us play ball." I hate sports writers yo.

You are a persistant.. dare i say it stan..

what is jordan bitter about exactly..

lol. Im a Houston Rockets/Texans fan. I couldnt care less about Lebron James. I just try to be non biased and call it like i see it.

Yes its very annoying that the miami 3 will be giggling like little school girls every 5 minutes, but I think thats what they wanted.

I cant get over that speech Jordan did a while back. I swear dude just seemed bitter as hell. You are an icon, a billionaire, a metaphor for greatness, and you bring your old teammate to your hall of fame speech just to shit on him? lol really? I think Jordans career has ethered anybody whoever gave him any type of shit in his past. And thats what you do at the hall of fame speech? I guess.

I respect Jordans opinion, and he is right to a certain extent, but I believe you gotta do whats best for you. Instead of worrying about legacies, just do whats best for you.

I kinda give Lebron props because he realizes he will never be Jordan, (hope he changes his jersey number) and instead of trying to do what Jordan did, he just did what was best for him.

AAt least I dont have to worry about ESPN spending all day making jordan/Lebron comparisons. lol

 

[freshb651]

I do think Bron is a coward for the move and what MJ and Chuck are saying is right,but of course Mike has something to say the Heat are in the same division as the Bobcats. They might tank that fuckin' franchise,you'll never see a Charlotte Bobcats division champion banner at least not in 5-6 years LOL

 

[DatGuyJ22]

wow @ world trade center

 

[Dick Shitman]

wow @ world trade center

lmao, word. wtf was he thinking with that one?

 

[Fooley]

lmao ain't Kobe playing with the best big man in the game? It ain't like he called up Kobe and joined forces though, he called up DWade.

 

[peagle05]

............smh

damn @ reggie finally hacking KOP after 3 months of work

 

[EmandWeezy=Goats]

lmao ain't Kobe playing with the best big man in the game? It ain't like he called up Kobe and joined forces though, he called up DWade.

He plays with Howard?

 

[Fooley]

He plays with Howard?

lmao Pau Gasol is ten times more skilled than Howard. Anybody will tell you that. Dwight is a dunker, he has no post moves whatsoever.

 

[MrJR]

lmao Pau Gasol is ten times more skilled than Howard. Anybody will tell you that. Dwight is a dunker, he has no post moves whatsoever.

Ill trade gasol for howard right now hell they can take andrew bynum with that

 

[b*braze]

lmao ain't Kobe playing with the best big man in the game? It ain't like he called up Kobe and joined forces though, he called up DWade.

Why you keep bringin up Kobe?

Gasol was TRADED to the Lakers. Kobe didn't go join the Grizzlies as a free agent and try to form up a superteam because he couldn't get it done.

These two situations are NOTHING alike.

 

[Fooley]

Ill trade gasol for howard right now hell they can take andrew bynum with that

i'll take that gasol for howard straight up. Not to mention Kobe won 3 with Shaq(quite possibly the best big man ever).
