I watched the last dance, I’ll check this one out too.
that awkward moment when Lebron is still one of the best players in the NBA at 38
I have that book. In hindsight his Wizard years are underrated and I think it even further cements his GOAT status. Haters say Jordan was going up against plumbers in his day but 01’-03’ Mike was having duels with all the wing players of the early 00’s in their physical primes and holding his own, putting up numbers as an old player with very little athleticism left.
Wilbon thought the depiction of MJ was unfair and all that. But shid was true.
I'm reading SpringHill is producing this.
The hell does that have to do with Bron still being one of the best players in the league this late in his career![]()
Sadly him running into Etan Thomas really fukked his shyt up. It also made his numbers look worse because he got that surgery and then returned in around a month and kept playing when he wasn't ready.That book was really good. Wildly underrated when it comes to sports books and Jordan in general.
One of the most interesting things about it is how it reflected the attitudes of players before the Load Mangement Era. Something I always respected about Jordan was one of his comments regarding playing, which was something along the lines of, "it could be someone's only time to see me play and they paid a lot of money for the tickets, so I owe it to them to suit up if I'm physically able."
A constant theme throughout his first season was knee pain and getting his knee drained. Over and over again, Doug Collins was begging him to sit out or reduce his minutes and Jordan refused. Eventually, his knee gave out and he was never the same afterwards.
Jordan didn't keep himself in tip-top shape during his retirement, plus Artest broke his ribs. He ramped up his activity level more than his body could handle at that age when he was gearing up for his return.
he was pretty good before he fukked his knee up if I remember correctly, that team was just ass.The Last Flab
Sure..why not? We know MJ ain't gonna be involved tho.![]()
