Just unquestionably the worst fashion sense

 

I mean it’s the late 90s were all fashion is bad

it’s also probably really hard to have a great looking suit even if it’s custom when you’re that tall

but also Jordan also seems to just love baggy pants haha

 

Loving the quotes from the players describing MJ getting the ball for the last play of the game; Rodman: "I didn't have to do shit; all I did was plant myself down there; pshhh, he's gonna shoot this fucker. He is not gonna pass this fucking ball. John Paxson, or fuckin' Steve Kerr, hell no, it's his turn."

 

Without making any claims to the GOAT or really even comparing, I just find this stat mindblowing.

Counting college, Olympics and NBA, Michael Jordan won 45% of the championships he competed for (2 Gold, 1 NCAA, 6 NBA)

Counting college, Olympics and NBA, Bill Russell won 87.5% of the championships he competed for (1 gold, 2 NCAA, 11 NBA.)

87.5 is crazy.

 

If you want to get in on that Bulls gear: https://store.nba.com/chicago-bulls...nbacom-email-lastdance-051520&mi_u=4357182122

 

pretty chilling to see the exterior studio shot - a seemingly normal day - just like, 90 minutes before it happened.

 

Any of you guys wanna do a simleague basketball league for fun during all this?

Dibs on Giannis.

 

I thought the documentary had an odd portrayal of Pippen. Outside of episode 2, where he was the main focus, the rest of the documentary paints not the greatest picture for him and he almost seems as an afterthought - and/or focused on his flaws/selfishness.

I could see Scottie not being pleased with the end result of the doc and knowing how cold-blooded MJ is/was - and given the fact he was the person to sign off on all of this - would not be surprised to see if that was intentional.

 

Fuuuuuuuuuck.

That really sucks.

 

haha and also jerry sloan is apparently in deteriorating health. just keep comin at me 2020.

 

as a shitty jazz fan, just putting it out there.

 

that’s always been a rumor. it’s always been flu, food poisoning or hangover. i was always partial to it just being the flu, but food poisoning does seem most likely.

you have to imagine MJ played hungover multiple times and we never knew bc he just would have been able to play through it. and flu would take to long to where he couldn’t just bounce back the next game. it’s gotta be food poisoning.

 

lol jordan got lambasted for being in AC after the Knicks game, i think it would have become public knowledge immediately if that were the case

 

You really think the media wouldn't have caught wind of Jordan being in Vegas that night? Come on man, they knew where he was when he was in Atlantic City, they 100% would've gotten wind of him partying in Vegas

 

You know how many times Jordan has probably balled out on a hangover? You can poke a hole through just about every argument.

 

hahaha dude deleted the tweet

 

lmao, i'll see myself out.

 

More rough Jazz stuff today
