how creepy is it that michael jordan is still wearing that LONE, GOLD HOOP EARRING?

dogg you are 49 years old and it is 2008, does this bother NO ONE ELSE?

he's MJ, he can do whatever he wants, forever.

^^ Both of you OTM.

i dont know if creepy is the right word here

Well, not as creepy as Cuba Gooding Jr and Kevin Bacon in his Darryl Hall mode hang around MJ's house, talkin' tighty whities.

His posse all says it's wonderful.

Jordan can do whatever he wants, but he is slowly becoming the new Elgin Baylor.

haha, gtfo: Elgin Baylor Lumpkin (born October 15, 1970)[1][2] (some sources claim 1975[3][4]), better known by his stage name Ginuwine, is an American R&B singer and an occasional actor.

Maybe Allen Heckard should take his hoop earring out to avoid the confusion.

i'd like to see the demographics on the people who are doing the confusing.

how creepy is it that michael jordan is still wearing that LONE, HITLER MUSTACHE?

michael J0rdan

Finally lost the earring, went respectable with no conspicuous jewelry, a fresh shave and a tasteful Hitler stache.

only way i can explain that stache is that he falls asleep drunk watching the history channel every night so he can't remember where he got the idea for it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V19h37_7I-E

real shit about 1/2 way through the clip when the 1on1's start. MJ showing some of his repetoire but seems like he's always reacting to what the defender is giving him rather than "ok now I'll do move #12 on this guy" etc

"which side do you want?" is classic

lol jordan demolishing little kids, i wonder if he plays much anymore

after that CEO beat him, he doesn't play anyone who's hit puberty

Lady faints, Jordan innocent

Michael Jordan mistakenly thought a woman who fainted during lunch was left breathless because she saw him walk into Café Mediterraneo at the CuisinArt Resort and Spa on Anguilla over the holiday. Turns out, she keeled over while chatting with a doctor about how to fix her son's broken nose. "As the woman was listening, Michael walked in, and she looked up and acknowledged him," said a source. "She then got so upset by what the doctor was saying about her son, she literally fainted to the floor. The next day, Michael called the front desk to make sure that 'the girl who passed out when she saw me was doing OK.' " Jordan was at the resort having lunch with Derek Jeter and Minka Kelly. The Chicago Bulls legend flew down to the island on his plane branded with a blue-and-white Air Jordan logo of him dunking a basketball on its tail.

"his plane branded with a blue-and-white Air Jordan logo of him dunking a basketball on its tail."
phrasing is hella awkward. the basketball's tail?

think they wrote it like that to emphasize the narcissism

He's in regular touch with Buzz Peterson and Adolph Shiver, basketball pals from his Tar Heel days. He enjoys bowling, follows stock-car racing and tools around in a four-wheel-drive Chevy Blazer. If this sounds like a guy who'll someday retire to a trailer park, remember that he'll be getting $4 million from the Bulls over five years

no way FOUR MILLION???!!??!!!? he should retire after that

my favorite phase of mj's career so far is this one, where he is trolling the internet with his outfits. great work.

what u didn't like this phase

http://bossip.files.wordpress.com/michaeljordan1-727579.jpg

haha that was a good one too. i like how inconsiderate it is of him to grind on someone while holding a lit cigar. seems likely that some ash fell on that woman's head.

And suddenly, plays called by Collins were being ignored as Jordan took the ball to the basket. But who could really complain, since the Bulls had started to win? Eventually, though, word got back to Cartwright. He didn`t do or say anything to anybody until late that season, when he told Jordan he needed to talk to him.

There was little small talk exchanged. ``I don`t like the things I`ve heard you say about me,`` Cartwright told Jordan.

Jordan stared at him.

``If I ever hear again that you`re telling guys not to pass me the ball,`` Cartwright continued, ``you will never play basketball again.``

did not know Bill was so gangsta

i can hear him saying that in his raspy three-pack-a-day voice

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7vxRSn_qqc

what the fuck is he wearing there

high fashion shiny red sweats

that awkward pant length when it's too long to be called capris and too short to be called a pant.

that interview is maybe as close to charming as I've ever seen mj outside of the bird/mj mcdonalds commercials.

also lol @ quitting basketball to play PGA at 32 but actually quitting the nba for minor league baseball at 29!

i kinda buy the theory that he turned into asshole after his dad died, w/so many people pointing a finger at his gambling habits as a factor in the murder

A federal judge who labeled Michael Jordan's $5 million lawsuit against Dominick's food stores "greedy" ordered the former NBA star to appear in court this week for an off-the-record settlement conference in a locked courtroom.

are sea bass known for filleting vag?

I can see why he went for him, they have similar fashion tastes

he went for HER rather

that is the first time i've thought of Kennedy in like two decades

lol kennedy is a big libertarian apparently?

it's too late for me to turn that into a joke about michael jordan gambling for her virginity.

it's never too late. just look at emjay... still wearing that lone, gold hoop earring.

Michael Jordan picks top pickup team

I love this story so much.

Of the many poster-worthy dunks in his career, Jordan singled out his slam on Patrick Ewing in the 1991 playoffs as one of his favorites. Jordan did a quick spin away from Charles Oakley on the baseline, soared to the hoop and put down a one-hand slam in the face of Ewing's challenge.

Jordan said he thinks about that one "very, very often."

"I told him, Georgetown guys don't block shots, they take charges," Jordan said on the video. "I dunked it on him so hard it was unbelievable. Every time I see him, that's the first thing I remind him of."

haha that's awesome. i know ppl have turned on jordan but i love his psychopath self, sitting around chuckling over his ruthless glory like conan on his throne

otm

he pulls off canadian tuxedo imo

it has been pointed out that he is cheating at beer pong in that photo which is just so jordan

oh mmmmaaaaaan

Is that recent where do you even get jeans like that

Do you think he has like thousands of pairs of jeans acid washed to his exact specifications that have been stashed in a room since the mid 90s

i think he has them custom made

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B-FpJDDCYAA4mg_.jpg

Lmao at two cigars do you think that jacket has custom cigar pockets?

mike looking p now there tbh

the pockets are for extra burners to call his various bookies

He looks good with that bucket hat getup

2 cigars mandatory of course

what if mj had that hitler moustache because gambling with just money and assets at stake doesn't thrill him anymore and he wagers on wacky dares sometimes too

"yeah, but you even have to wear the mustache in the underwear commercial, the... whatchacall it karl?"
"Hanes"
"yeah in the Hanes commercial!"
"man fuck you chuck"

nice bit from the cargo shorts article on wsj
http://www.wsj.com/articles/nice-cargo-shorts-youre-sleeping-on-the-sofa-1470082856

Many upscale golf courses have banned cargo shorts in recent years. In 2012, Michael Jordan was playing golf in cargo shorts at a Miami country club when he was asked to change his pants, according to news reports at the time. He reportedly refused. His agent released a statement afterward saying Mr. Jordan had previously worn cargo pants at the club without incident.

Yes, Jordan thinks he’s better than Kobe.
Jordan does not think he could compete in the NBA right now. Maybe for one game, though.
Isiah Thomas was the toughest player to guard for Jordan.
Jordan says he doesn’t remember hitting Steve Kerr, though Kerr has confirmed this story himself. “I think he ran into me,” Jordan joked.
Jordan’s favorite musical artist is Drake.

bet the eiffel tower can't jump more than 3 feet.

terrible place for a hoop. you'd have to scramble over that bitty fence and go fetch the ball off neighboring roofs ALL THE TIME.

and very small, french neighboring roofs at that

idk if that hoop is my hoop then it means that i'm living in paris with access to a rooftop that overlooks the eiffel tower and that probably means life is p dope

with a life-size statue of michael jordan on it!

and you can afford a purely decorative rooftop hoop or else lots of extra basketballs

I hate when you have to tell your personal assistant to hire someone to bring the basketballs back up to the roof, so annoying

https://www.lesitedelasneaker.com/wp-content/images/2015/06/michael-jordan-tinker-hatfield-paris-palais-23-1024x765.jpg

not randoms

I'm not an anxious person but just looking at that court and imagining how frequently you'd lose a ball over the fence is giving me anxiety. Plus what, you make a slight misstep and you go falling off the court?? It ends just to the right of the key!

i think the whole thing was built/painted just for the photo shoot

it’s on top of the palais de tokyo where the Paris museum of modern art had an exposition on Jordan a few years back. there were hoops for playing but yeah not the one in the photo shoot

i had the mj cologne

one of the five elements of the scent being "sensual" just weirds me out in a way that it wouldn't if it was anyone other than Michael Jordan. it makes me imagine MJ just saying the word "sensual" and it's echoing in my head and it won't stop.

luv 2 smoke cigars in a windowless basement

I was about to ask where the gates are with 45 on them, but on second thought, I don't want to know.

on the way to the underground panic mansion

there's been a lot of MJ shit on this Wolves Facebook group lately and it's really weird like he has really gone into Paul Bunyan territory now for some people, this guy got on and was like FUCK ANT MJ WOULD NEVER LOSE AT HOME IN THE PLAYOFFS!!

wild shit, he's folklore at this point

all those pundits comparing ant to jordan werent doing anyone any favors but yeah jordan is a myth at this point

Ant literally asked people to stop doing it, he's 22 relax

also michael jordan was scoring 37 points a game when he was 23*

*injured his 22 season

Kinda cracked up when OJ died, youngsters (you know, people turning 30 this year) were dropping their jaws over NBC interrupting the NBA Finals for a car chase.

And the rest of us were all, eh, we were between Jordan eras, who was gonna care.

it was rude imho i was mad but after a minute i realized it was amazing

yeah one of my main takeaways from The Last Dance was that the Bulls weren't invincible which is kind of how I remembered it being growing up

Well they def weren't invincible, they really went against some all timer teams. the Knicks, Suns, Pacers, Sonics, Blazers, Jazz, Lakers...those were all title worthy squads. It's crazy that the Jordan teams never lost (the retirement comeback aside.)

Still out there opening health clinics in underserved parts of NC

yeah its pretty similar to Tom Brady's thing like yeah they were very often the best team and they beat a lot of Super Bowl contenders but arguably more important than talent was the fact that they got calls when they needed them and always won the OT coin tosses, basically a lot of 50/50 stuff went their way, you could argue that was true of the Bulls sometimes too

bulls kind of were invincible imho, i mean the 96 bulls definitely were, think they got taken to seven games once during their championship era, and all throughout that time, and this is something i think about re the lebron v jordan debate, theyd have a game where they were down say eight with ten minutes left and youd look at that and youd say the bulls are winning this game, and they almost always would

Yeah that's true I was just going to say that the key difference between Jordan and LeBron is that for awhile it felt like Jordan's team was always going to win whereas with a Lebron team you always assume they were going to lose, maybe a couple of those Miami squads excepted.

Jordan never had to face the buzzsaw of those insane GSW teams though, had that Curry loophole not happened maybe things turn out way differently

but yeah clutch time is the big thing, Jordan had it, Kobe had it, Lebron doesn't, idk how much of this is killer mentality and how much is just running hot at the best possible times

jordan faced some really good teams i mean sure none of them were alltimers but theres usually not two alltimers around at the same time anyway, the warriors were the bulls and the cavs were jazz, difference being i guess is its utah with a goat candidate and the bulls with not a goat candidate lol lets not examine this too closely

i think bron was pretty good in crunch time i certainly didnt assume he was gonna lose unless he was just playing a better team like the dubs, its just prime bulls absolutely killed crunch time, basically the definition of flipping the switch, the fourth quarter would start jordan would move to point guard and him and pippen would start pressuring the ball on defense and the bulls would win, i think he just had a higher level than anyone else, which is why hes the goat

kobe has the worst crunch time shooting % of anyone to take x number of shots iirc, which makes sense since hed just take highly contested iso jumpers every time

yea I know in the regular season Kobe bricked a lot of big shots at the end but when the Lakers were making those title runs he seemed to be really clutch, may be misremembering things though

yeah easy to remember the times he shot them into it and forget the times he shot them out rose tinted glasses and so forth, tho on the other hand he have five rings so it couldnt have been that bad

primarily I remember him trying those shots against the Bucks and never hitting them but drawing the foul despite barely getting touched

he did get a nice whistle, helps

I don't know I feel like a lot of those teams the bulls faced were in fact possibly legendary squads that happened to run into the best team of all time. They were some frightening teams, I don't ever remember feeling worried about the bulls but the only reason I felt that way is because they didn't seem like a squad that would make nearly as many mistakes. And certainly not fatal ones. I think if the bulls were more mistake prone, the teams they faced were more than capable of knocking them out. And it seemed like as the years went on the teams got tougher but maybe the bulls just got older..

the point that gary payton made in the jordan doc that jordan laughed at was actually true that if hed guarded jordan from the start of the series the sonics wouldve had a good shot at winning

With LeBron I guess it's not so much that there is this feeling like his teams are going to lose as much as with extremely rare exception his teams have been just another squad in the playoff mix. Those Miami teams are the exception.

Actually to the point about the warriors, that's what made the warriors dynasty special as well is they were the big dog everyone expected to come out on top. They were never just another team that had a decent shot.

I really would have loved to have seen a finals matchup between the bulls and rockets. Probably the biggest missed matchup opportunity of the 90s.

ya thats true and even those miami teams lost two out of four, tho tbf they did make the finals all four which is not bad, and then the superteam sitch limited their longevity which makes it seem more like a blip than a run

bulls prob wouldve wrecked those hakeem rockets teams they just have enough star power

As a bulls fan I have no doubt that it would have been an eightpeat

Miami probably should've won it in their first year, iirc Game 2 they were up like 15 with a few minutes to play and Dirk wound up playing some of the most insane ball I've ever seen, had they threepeated the conversation would be a lot different. but then again if Ray Allen misses that 3 in Game 6 maybe the Heat only onepeat. idk just saying so much of all-time greatness seems to hinge on what breaks you do or dont get

yeah def

is it just me or has Jordan fallen off the face of the earth since the Last Dance doc? obviously he's not Shaq and never seemed too interested in the celebrity life but you'd at least still see him in commercials or have him show up to games, it's kind of odd that such a living legend has basically disappeared. idk maybe i'm just not watching the right stuff

he was kinda around when he owned the hornets but basically not at all now since he sold. prob just golfs and smokes cigars and gambles all day idk.

he basically doesn’t like people ihibidtace

He does good stuff now
