Yeah but he would never be portrayed as a good guy like he was back then.


They be calling him a cry baby like they do LeBron because they both cry to refs

Jordan hitting teamates would've been on every sports network

TMZ would've caught him stepping out on Juanita

There would be cellphone pics and video of Jordan in casinos before playoff games.



Jordan was the last major athlete to not have his personal life scrutinized during his playing career. He was basically Mickey Mantle status he could do no wrong while playing but once he stopped then all the stories we didn't know about get published and the ones we knew about somewhat get published more.

It would have been a lot more access to him which would have probably exposed him gambling drinking and or cheating with TMZ and people trying to get a come up. But maybe his handlers would have it to the point that he would do all his dirt behind closed doors.

when they had like 3 channels, radio, magazines and no internet.

Jordan could not survive in Brons shoes. He was already shook when they gave him soft ball questions on his gambling.
:laff:
MJ's mental toughness far exceeds lebron. The biggest knocks on bron's career has been losing in the finals and stacking the deck year-after-year, then dipping when the pieces get old. The most shyt bron has ever recieved for personal antics is the Tamir Rice situation and China comments, and that shyt blew over quickly. So yea I'm not buying the fact that bron is recieving some harsher treatment. In fact, they boost him up as some type of activist and give him props for losing in most cases. He has nothing close to a gambling scandal on his resume at all.

Jordan refused to talk to the media for weeks cause they said he was out gambling before a game and he actually was.

The dude felt beat up by the media asking him about gambling. That wasn't shyt. Took a two week hiatus and had his propaganda minister waiting for him at the end.

Man please. He wouldn't be able to take today's era of media if THAT bothered him.

:patrice:Yeahhh im sorry but MJ would be food.

You cant hold the title of GOAT scumbag and not get into some bullshyt at some point. Whatever bullshyt he was linked to back then would be amplified 100x in the social media era and would become a more defining narrative. Tiger was one of the most private, reclusive athletes of all time and even he got got by the machine. Snakes EVERYWHERE now.. Idk how Bron aint get touched all these years tbh

Bron hasn't dealt anything near a gambling scandal. You're downplaying how poor a look it was at the time, especially with the pete rose scandal still kinda fresh. Gambling addictions also lead to crime. When has bron been questioned about his personal lifestyle choices?

Y’all acting like MJ would be moving the same :mjlol: he’d obviously adapt to this social media era. All the nikka did was golf, gamble and win championships.

Athletes today are much more protected in my opinion.
