“[Tonight’s] game was decided by the players. In Boston, the game was decided by the refs.”
He is such a ----.
Still climbing that hill huh. Unbelievable.
I mean, couldn't the argument be made, that BY MAKING THE CALL the refs would be deciding the game, not the players?
He's a tool. And people wonder why Jordan is so beloved for the most part while Lebron is a lightning rod.
This is part of the reason. Whiny crap like this.
Is Jordan beloved? Every report I've ever read about him was about how much of a an a hole he was, how most of his teammates despised him, how he basically has no friends from his time in the sport, etc. The media definitely has created a mystique and legend about Jordan more than any other player, but I don't think beloved is the right word to use with Jordan. Magic is beloved, Jordan is not.
Yeah, he is. I guarantee if you polled NBA fans, you'd find much more positive feedback on Jordan than Lebron. Any off the court stuff has pretty much had a negligible impact on the perception of Jordan by the general public.
The so called "heir apparents" Kobe & Lebron have been much more polarizing among the general public
I have no doubt fans have a more positive view of Jordan than Lebron, but that doesn't make Jordan beloved. I just don't think it is the correct word.
