Competition is the best thing in life!

Dress for the game of life or stay in bed!

thanks for the entertainment and excitement.  one of the greatest entertainers the game has ever known.

Forever Carolina Blue

I felt like he is still fighting some unseen fight...  Throwing people under the bus during his induction speech..  I was embarrassed listening to it at times..  Great player, maybe the best..  Douche of a man..

I liked his attack on Jerry Krause "Owners don't play the championship with the flu"

Kobe would have gotten creamed for that speech.  They have identicial personalities.  Thats why i love them both.

great man.............great speech.........good for him

I like what you said about how they have "identical personalities".  I also am a huge fan of both. Being a native of So-Cal, I've become more a fan of "Triple Ocho" than "His Airness". I expected MJ to be a bit more gracious towards his peers during his speech, but I can understand how hard it must be for him not to be able to compete against the likes of King James and other NBA superstars. That "Fire" still burns inside MJ just like Kobe. Could you imagine if LeBron had some more of that "Chip on my Shoulder" mentality? 

 Looking at the young Kobe before Summer 2003, I can see him forgetting who helped him along the way during his career. Now though, I feel Kobe has sort of found himself and realized his feet, ankles, and knees can only take so much...As a fan, I'm hoping he to see the Kobe who has that MJ "Killer Instinct" only with that David Robinson modesty. The 2008 Summer Olympics and the 08-09 NBA season were great examples of this. 

 MY Favorite "Air Jordan's" were the Jordan V....In Black

Congrats to Jordan, It's hard to argue against him being the best.  He might not have been the best man, but he was an amazing player.  But it's a shame he overshadowed everyone else in his class.  John Stockton was arguablly the best pure point guard of all time.  David Robinson was a great player and an even greater man.   Jerry Sloan has coached his heart out since he took over the Jazz and Stringer is a fantastic leader as well.

His Airness is the greatest basketball player ever. I'm gonna have a drink tonight in his honor. Aw hell who am I kidding...I was gonna have a drink tonight whether MJ was going to the Hall or not.

My feeling is this Michael Jordan is arguably the most competitive and dominate player to ever step on the hard wood, if he has an air of arrogance then I feel he has earned it especially when so many people did not give him a second thought he sophomore year at North Carolina, Jimmy Black, and Charles Worthy were the toast of the town, no one knew about the shooting guard from Wilmington North Carolina, I am happy for him.

Am I the only one that remembers Jordan in "Space Jam"?


Yeah, but I'm a baseball player now!

Of all the people who deserved to get "called out" by MJ, Jerry Krause deserved it.  It's fair to say that some of his comments were tone-deaf, but I think most of it was all in fun.

first time I agreed with a Cowboys fan in 7 years.

Mike sucks as a person

if he acutally took the time to write that down and still felt ok with it then that says alot.

Best basketball player ever. He was just giving some Shut up Juice. To the people who said he couldn't amount to anything. 

Now to complete the Hall of Fame Dynasty all is need is Scottie be added to the Hall of Fame Phil already in.
