White media caped for Larry Bird LLS

[DOPEdweebz]

The backlash wasn't the same as it would be today. Tiger woods wouldn't have went thru all that in the 80s

Part of the Tiger Woods shit is based on perception if race. White people didn't like him cuz he was black, and some blacks didn't like him cuz he never really claimed him, then ignorant people didn't like the fact he didn't "talk" or "acted" like a stereotype to his skin color.

Athletes everyday cheat on their wivew as much or more than Tiger, but none of them were as great or as seemingly cookie cutter clean as Tiger. It allowed the people I mentioned in the previous paragraph, to overkill the story cuz they finally had something to shit on him on.

In closing, us human beings ain't shit.

Magic was saying they wanted to fight Larry because he was lighting they ass up and talking shit at the same time, and one particular shot he hit a 3 near the Lakers bench and ran down the court eyeballing the whole squad with NF'sG!

Sometime after i post this I saw a vid of him against Moses Malone in the NBA finals. He got like 3 offensive rebounds in a row and put in the winning hoop. If someone could find that clip ... boy had no vert at all yet was outrebounding the entire fucking Houston team couped right up under the basket with him. Looked like he said something slick afterward too.

That goes to show you, you don't need athleticism to get rebounds, it's all about positioning, and Mo Malone was a beast on the boards

Dr. J had be sooo tight. Bird was 17 for 23 in just 30 minutes lol

Bet Bird got a bit cocky and Erving had no choice but to sleep him

He only missed 6 shots, damn!

Hold on tho yall exagerating the level in which MJ got away w/ stuff tho

It only seems like MJ got away w/ shyt b/c we now know dude was a humongous asshole. Lol But AT THE TIME many stories trickled out.

-Jordan's gambling problems

-His ties to felons and dudes who got murdered (google Slim Bouler and Eddie Dow)

-His mistres, Karla Knafel (I was a kid and even i knew this name, it was a shock to think MJ had a mistress. How naive. Lol)

-They killed him in the press when he was out gambling before that Knicks playoffs game.

And now that i think about it, how do you think we even KNOW about his gambling problem??? LOL Duh. They reported it.

Do some research. Google Jordan, gambling, mob, etc and you'll get a shytload of articles from 92-94.

Come on man, Jordan's popularity went down may a percentage point as a result of all that shit combined. Athletes today get caught doing any one of those and they have to basically rehabilitate their image from the ground up.
