Charles Barkley and Michael Jordan Aren't Really Friends Anymore

[beenz]

Yep... Chuck is definitely a man of the 'people'

that broad is terrible

 

[EducatedBrothaFromTheBank]

MJ is NOT a disgrace to the Black Community

exactly... c00n ass nyggas need to take their own responsibility for raising their ignant ass kids.

Of course not...I mean, he just refuses to take pictures with nikkas and NEVER speaks on the violence that his yearly shoe release creates OR ever once considered lowering the price so that said shoes wouldn't make ghetto kids robbery victims.

How OLD are you?

In fact, can you tell me....has Jordan EVER taken a public stance on behalf of African-Americans? EVER, nikka?

It's one thing for you cats to be a fan of the guy as a PLAYER, which I am and have already said I was...but don't be in here making excuse for this faded jeans wearin' fukk nikka who don't give a shyt about YOU or your community just because you're nostalgic about him as a player. If you have been FOLLOWING Jordan since he retired, dude makes nothing but fukk nikka moves. I mean, what kid of card-carrying member of "a$$holes R Us" invites a former coach to a HOF retirement JUST so he can wag his finger in his face like ?

Only a major egoist, that's who.

nikkas like @CHICAGO , I can't even address what he said because he's so clearly biased that he only saw what he WANTED in my post (bafflingly, some ad hominum attack on Jordan) instead of actually READING what I said. nikkas get too emotional/sentimental and start arguing stupid shyt.

Nikka did you just type this bullshyt out yourself or did someone help you? There are some simple nikkas that post here but this right here is some simple shyt. That chamillionaire story was some anecdotal story that we all laughed and used to mock MJ. Your dumb ass actually believes he doesn't take picture with black people? So if Obama, was like MJ let us take a picture, he would be like "no nikkas"?

MJ is a spokesman of a shoe, he doesn't make them shyts or sets the price for them. How many times does this need to be addressed. How come nobody asks Steve Jobs or whoever the CEO of Apple to lower the price of Iphones so they would not be stolen?

MJ doesn't need to be a militant nikka with his fist in the air all the time. There is some black child somewhere going " I want to be like Michael Jordan" and not MJ the player, MJ the owner of professional basketball team.


MJ probably an a$$hole in real life but .

 

[Big Boss]

Chuck got tired of MJ's punk ass always c00nin' it up and started talking about it in public, and MJ cut him off because of it.

So to Chuck for calling Cheese Eyes out like that. He's a disgrace to the Black community, and this is coming from someone who idolized him growing up and STILL has about 30% of my wardrobe devoted to Jordan wear.

 

[Easy-E]

I just read/listen to his book. And I like his opinions.

While I won't completely excuse Jordan's role in this; I think this whole "MJ needs to address ppl killin' over his shoes" argument is silling.

Murder is way more reprehensible than @Jerz-2 you give it credit for. And if ppl are that far gone, then, a MJ speech isn't gonna help.

We should be addressing the fact ppl attach their self worth to shoes, so much, they will steal and kill for. And that gonna mean taking a lot of ppl to task. So many, we won't have time for Michael Jordan.

Plus___don't let the media sensationalism make you think every Jordan release is a bloodbath.

 

[jwinfield]

People honestly believe that MJ doesn't take pictures with black people

 

[C-NICE]

Cant believe dude in here trying to bash MJ when he has personally handed out jobs/scholarships/shoes/clothes to the black community just because the media dont cover it doesnt mean dude isnt behind the scenes of alot of good things. Shyt just look at his derek jeter campaign dude is a gawd dont disrespect MJ

 

[nomoreneveragain]

People honestly believe that MJ doesn't take pictures with black people

Thats Fact

People still in denial

 

[intruder]

THE IRONY...
WHY DO YOU nikkaS STILL THINK CHUCK IS SOME TYPE OF MILITANT?

SAME nikka THAT PUBLICLY AGREED WITH THE ZIMMERMAN VERDICT
AND DEFENDED RILEY COOPER.

FOH



​

Wasnt Chuck's wife white?

I’m tired of you dudes trying to dictate to ME what I’m basing my opinions off of (AND trying to be smart asses in the process)…..NONE of you clowns can speak on my thought process in ANY way shape or form, so with that bullshyt.
I could give a shyt about Chamillionaire, and you NEVER heard me even mention him anywhere in this entire thread, I DARE you to find where I did. So NO, my disdain for MJ and opinions about him and his relationship with the Black community have NOTHING to do with Chamillionaire and the so-called “no nikkas” incident. You have no idea what you’re talking about in terms of MY frame of reference.

The FACTS are, Michael Jordan has gone out of his way to avoid speaking out for the Black community for YEARS, and has had ample opportunity to do so, AND has been BESEECHED over the years to do so by OTHER Black leaders. AGAIN, nobody is asking his bytch ass to be Nat Turner, but to NEVER say ANYTHING about ANYTHING because it “affects your bottom line”?

Amazing how all other Black athletes can take a stand against things and not worry about THEIR bottom line. LeBron was just VERY outspoken about Donald Sterling and how the Black players would boycott, did that hurt HIS “brand”? Magic Johnson CONSTANTLY speaks out in favor of the AA community, and he’s on that Oprah level of branding. Why hasn’t it hurt THEM?

The reality is, most of you dudes idolize this nikka and can’t bring yourselves to get off your stan horses and call it for what it is…Jordan is selfish and could give a shyt about the Black community, and his actions have dictated as much, and the people who KNOW him best have SAID as much for years.

It’s not my fault that you cats apparently haven’t been privy to it, but that doesn’t make it UNTRUE….do your damn Googles.

And learn how to disagree without being disparaging....

Nah dawg, he's not RESPONSIBLE for people killing over his shoes, let's be real. Give me some credit, B.

But he's CULPABLE, IMO. Like (again, IMO), why he ain't go to Nike years ago and say "yo, lower the price of themshyts, so that poor people can AFFORD them instead of treating them as unattainable assets readily worthy of stealing/killing for..."

Shaq got shoes in KMART for crying out loud. MJ couldn't knock $100 off his shoe prices for the sake of the poor communities (which, admittedly, don't SOLELY involve Black people)?

He CERTAINLY could have done that. He chose not to a long time ago.

Now....if you want to disagree with me that he's not at least THAT much culpable, then yeah, we can stop here and agree to disagree. No biggie.

Also, I refuse to entertain arguments from people in here who (a) haven't read the whole thread and are getting my position "piecemeal", and (b) who only see what they want in my responses.

nikkas on here kill me, if somebody doesn't conform to YOUR worldview, they're c00ns and haters and such....you nikkas live in THE SMALLEST bubbles ever.

i see what you did there...

 

[Jerz-2]

BTW, for all you “smart guys” SWEARING you know what my basis is for my position….THIS is the TRUE underlying basis for it:

Jordan can also be so protective of his Nike-Gatorade-Coke-McDonald's-Wheaties-Hanes-etc. corporate-sponsoring image -- he is, Halberstam underscores, no Jackie Robinson, Muhammad Ali or Paul Robeson in the civil rights arena -- that he would not even support Harvey Gantt, an early civil rights leader, when he was running for a Senate seat in Jordan's home state of North Carolina against Jesse Helms, called by Halberstam ''the nemesis of Carolina blacks (among many others).'' Republicans buy sneakers, too, Jordan said.

Oh wait, that’s right….you cats sit on here all day with your “Black Excellence” this and your “c00n” that, and comment on how you’d do “this and that” to the police in Ferguson, and act all “educated” on the Black plight, with your fake armchair revolutionary asses, but have NO IDEA who the fukk Jessie Helms is, do you?
