MJ and Magic go at during '92 olympics scrimmage *Good Read*

[Darius]

My sources for this post was the GREAT book, When the Game Was Ours by Jackie MacMullan (if you haven’t read this book, you should) and Golden Boys by Cameron Strauth. I simply changed much of the descriptive text to my own words to facilitate the story for this post, give my own ideas on the events and for brevity. I added my own preamble so readers born years later, or too young at the time, would understand the stage these events happened on.

what the hell does this mean?

what the fuck is going on?

yeah that link seems to be the actual portion from the book.

but this dude here butchered it. for the most part the facts are the same

I've always said that the bulls couldn't hang with the showtime lakers.

like jamaica said, jordan was lucky to hit his prime after magic and bird hit theirs....

 

[af.r.i.c.a.]

good read lol at them bird shitting on barkley and making him leave the room

 

[elzo69]

Y all know Bird aint give a sh*t bout Barkley. lol but that ether was vicious lol. and smh at Magic losing to a team with Christian Laetner on it ( although he was pujtting in work in those days)

 

[KeepOnPushing]

I Just had to come back in here and Once again LOL at that Bag of Ether Bird handed Barkley....Lmao Bird told that nigga "You Dont have any say in this" .....Rofl...

 

[Dakari]

Jordan’s face darkened.

how is that possible?

 

[Copper]

he told Magic. "I will come in your gym and drop 60 on you. Ask your friend Larry about it.

^^^^that shit there was trill!!!!

I don't think its as simple as that, Those Bulls teams in their prime were definitely no slouch,and MJ's competition during his run was just as great MJ was just that good where he didn't really have a rival,and if he did he found a way to beat them.

and as u read, if u did read the article, that scrimmage team coach Daly put Magic on was definitely superior to MJ's and MJ still beat them, but it was a great read just thought I'd share with the true basketball heads in here.

 

[bless the child]

lol at i'll come to your gym and drop 60 on you...lol

Barkley was about to speak when Bird piped up, “Quiet!! You haven’t won a thing. You have no say in this. Same with Patrick and Ahmad. Your all gone! You guys have no championships so just sit there and be quiet and maybe you will learn some things.” (As an aside, interesting comments from Bird for those who wonder why Lebron wants to win championships so bad)
