no i didn't say he sold out, i said he went corporate and that's when NBA start molding him in their image so he can be the face of the NBA. the rawness of the Michael Jordan movement became more corporate

In the 80's Michale Jordan (1984-1990) was the Basketball Player that the hood championed who dressed, looked, played like us....

so then why did you all dress like him and try to play like him well after 1990 and even a decade after his retirement?

 

[Stew]

I don't think he went "Corporate", I'd call it growing up. Nigga wasn't a young man anymore. Got married, had kids. Time to start thinking long term

Michael Jordan was hip-hop..... did i mention he was BLACK like us, The Brother was rocking Gold Chains around his neck, was rocking Nike Dunks.

maybe the those born after 1990 so how about you go ask them that question, and MJ style of play that's typical on how brothers play on the blacktop, you ask any ball player they will tell you that.

so

wrong Bird had a hard time against the Pistons the time mid-late 80's came, Jordan payed his dues going against the 76er's and Pistons from the 1986-90.

you know as much about basketball as much as you know about football,lol.......

i'm just saying, he is just as much a champion of the hood after 1990 than he was before 1990.

nobody believe that shit and this coming from a person who was following the bad boys, the same bad boys that was punking out Bird and his Celtics and who was shutting down The Showtime Lakers who Jordan had to go through the in the mid-late 80s every fucking year to they got that chip against the Lakers

word up @Tommybilfiger i'm not a big Jordan fan, I was following teams like The Detroit Pistons Bad Boys and The 76ers team with Dr. J, Mose Malone, Maurice Cheeks and Sir Charles but i aint going to front on Michael Jordan.

and YOUNG MIKE was a beast, i was alive as a youngsta and remember his impact on the game and how the hood was championed MIKE when MIKE wasnt like by the older players in the nba.

half of these guys wasnt even born talking about jordan couldnt get pass the celtics WHEN JORDAN for dolo dropped 60 against 4 hall of famers on the celtics and was pushing the series deep.
