    What makes for an incredible athlete in a hyper-competitive field probably makes for a shitty ass human being.

    His teammates, besides BJ Armstrong, all seemed to understand him.

    I'm surprised he hasn't publicly challenged Gary Payton to a one on one game yet

    "He wasn't really a nice guy, he was a tyrant...well that's you because you've never won anything"

    He doesn't breakdown talking about his dad getting murdered, but he does talking about winning.

    I could watch a couple more hours of just Mike watching people try to shit talk him on a iPad.

    Payton is more of a legend in his own mind, but that was, by far, the worst Jordan played in a Finals of all of them.

    I'm very eager to hear about the Pacers series, which has always been lost among the stories of the era. No one gave them a tougher time than Indiana that year. The Pacers were an underrated great team stuck playing the Jordan Bulls, Shaq/Kobe Lakers and then killed by the Malice at the Palace (I think they win that year otherwise).

    The 98 Pacers probably make it to Finals that year if Jordan doesn’t take basically two years off.

    Without his retirement, the Bulls probably win in 94 and 95, meaning that to win it all in 98, they’d have to 8-peat, which seems unlikely even for someone as super human as Jordan was, especially given that Krauss was looking to burn it down at the time as well.

    Young me hated Reggie Miller because He talked all that shit and never won a damn thing.

    Now, looking back, Miller really got screwed because, like you said, he had to go against MJ then Shaq and Kobe.

    Without his first retirement, Jordan probably retires after 95 or 96 for good.

    His facial expressions during Gary Payton's snippet were fantastic

    Some quote by a historian went something like "Great men are seldom good men."

    Agreed.

    He was gassed mentally and physically in 93'.
    Without the baseball hiatus, he doesn't play more than another year or 2.

    Its still crazy he could take off essentially 2 years, come back and within a year be as good as anyone else playing for 3 more years.

    crazy to me he could play 36 holes, drink beer and smoke cigars then go score 40 against the best players in the world.

    The most underrated part of his career is, without question, the Wizard portion. They were outright awful and he came in at 38 years old and had them in 6th in the East after being the 3rd worst in the NBA the prior season before he went out with a meniscus tear. The next season he turned 40 and still averaged 20 points a game, going over 40 points three times that season. At 40 years old.

    He was riding Kwame's coattails, imo.
