Flying the guy in, who got your spot on your high school team, to rub it in his face is a dick head move. He is the greatest to ever play and when i was a kid i tried to copy all of his moves and dunks as did many kids who grew up watching him. Now Im realizing more and more how much of a prick this guy is and its kind of ruining my memory of him.

He didn't have to go. Everybody is a prick to somebody else at sometime, So what.

If Jordan told him "I'm going to rub your face in poo if you come with me" then your point is valid.

After watching his acceptance speech, I have to say that there is A LOT of bitterness and resentment oozing from the author of this article. He obviously did not understand the context in which all these things were said (or chose not to?). And it's not surprising that he could find a couple of NBA insiders that also shared his view since there was always quite a bit of resentment/jealousy towards Jordan from some league personnel.

However, most of Jordan's speech revolved around his competativeness, and how that is what drove him to reach the levels he did. In each of the instances the article used to point out Jordan's "bitterness," MJ was just exemplifying them to show how he looked for any little slight to motivate himself and work harder to get better and prove something. In fact, he even thanked them because they helped make him into the player he became. What came glaring through was that Jordan could, and would, make anything a competition. If he felt challenged or slighted in any way, he would set his sights on the source, and try to prove them wrong.

So, based on what I heard in Jordan's speech, I don't think there was any slight intended or that he has any lingering bitterness. But the thing that each of these things had in common was that they all drove and motivated MJ...and he was just acknowledging that.

      Major Concerns with this team…with numbers

      By Stumpy · Posted

      The good news is that we are pretty uniquely well established to address all of our needs this season. We have $14m real cap space, and something like $40m in trade deadline cap space. Not sure exactly how that works out. But, we have the room to absorb any bad contracts. With recent rule changes regarding retention, that went into effect this season, we now have a huge advantage in the trade market.  On top of that, while we do have obvious needs, we also have a glut of talent in certain areas that we struggle to find ice time for. We are over-stocked on scrappy talented lil-guys, strong defensively sound 3rd liners and shutdown left shot dmen. Whether it's a package or separate deals, idk. But, one of each from Stank/Blake/Nads, Erob/Carrier/KK/Jank, and Walker/Nystrom; throw in some 1st round picks (and frankly any other prospects they want) and we should be able to come out with a 1b to pair with Bussi and either a 2c with size or a 2c and size.   TL/DR We got the money, you got the stuff?

      I don’t  think 6’4 was ever considered small or undersized. Baby hands tho, yes that was his thing That’s an interesting idea, like an optical illusion? Sounds like you have personal experience with this!

      in the 25' draft the Carolina Panthers had hired Brandt Tillis someone who actually understood how to build a successful team & build through the draft .  this team was yes mismanaged for years prior to Brandt Tillis joining the team in 25' & rarely done anything right in the draft outside occaionaly getting lucky on an UDFA such as Jalen Coker who's dad coincidentally happened to be a huge Carolina Panthers fan, hint hint  ...just saying
