KD: Michael Jordan is God-Like because of the lack of Social Media in the 90s

[NYC Rebel]

Carmelo lost an endorsement due to an on the court fight that wouldnt have made a ripple pre-social media.


Anyone thinking its about turning social media on and off is an idiot.

If a nikka won damn near 8 championships in a row
what do you think the social media response would be?

 

[cornercommission2k12]

If Jordan had social media he simply would have become the social media goat. His social media influence would be a mixture of what will Smith was doing before the slap and 50 cent social media. His trash talking was impeccable. And he had more money than everyone. Don't know why anyone thinks social media would have hurt Jordan just would have made him more of a legend.

Wipe your mouth after you’re done

Jeter stays telling people if social media was around during his heyday, his career woulda lasted 3 years.

ehhh, MJ is godlike because that's what was presented to us.

How godlike would MJ be if you heard he fukked Kylie Ireland and was so worn out, he lost to the Nuggets the next night?

How godlike would MJ be if Adam475395728 had video of Mike gambling in Atlantic City the night before a playoff game?

How godlike would MJ be if someone just so happened to have a mic near MJ to find out what he really thought about his teammates?

George Michael once said "we will never see the kind of superstars we used to see because society is fragmented." It couldn't be more true.

he'd be more god like
Gambling, fukkin, and talkin shyt all night then going out and dropping 50 on plumbers and maytag men off 3 and a half hours of sleep.
Legend before our eyes

People are trying to rewrite history for the younger people that weren’t there. Jordan was never presented as this great family man or community activist. His “Godlike” persona wasn’t based on his values and morals, it was off of what he accomplished on the court, his style, his toughness and the fact he had sneakers that nikkas would literally kill for.

Let’s keep it a buck. If Mike was KD, he would have left Pippen and Horace Grant and joined the 1990 Pistons.

If you think the media and fans would have still labeled him the GOAT or held back criticism then you are insane. He would get the same treatment KD is getting now. Social media or not.

Jordan got plenty criticism while he played. Just read his playboy interview. Can’t stand when history gets rewritten

MJ > Durant. MJ stayed with the Bulls and won 6 Finals MVPs. Durant ran to GSW.

Where was this incessant critcism on par to what athletes today deal with?

Wow!! The existence of criticism directed towards MJ! You win.

Biggest advantage is he didn't have sport talk shows that talk about him 24/7 and comparing him to Wilt and Bill Russell

BUT THE JORDAN RULES
MADE NATIONAL HEADLINES
AND HE WAS ON TV
ANSWERING QUESTIONS
ABOUT HIS GAMBLING
IN REAL TIME...

BUT IT WAS QUESTIONED...

WHERE DO YOU
THINK THE shyt YOU
POSTED CAME FROM?

​

nikka stop! It wasn't close to the same. All of the soft fouls MJ got away with would be on twitter everyday. nikkas calling his titles fake because he didn't beat the teams when they had their nikkas healthy in the 80s. We had no such access, sports was really something more pure in those days than it is today. Same for everything. Look at wrestling, every motherfukka is a critic who think they can book better

Yes he was. We didn't get exposed most of his faults as a kid. shyt, a nikka thought he was faithful till I got older and nikkas talk too much.

We all saw that nikka as a rare Black figure. He was one Black man, the cacs didn't attack, in fact, they looked at him like a God. nikkas never got that Elvis treatment. shyt, cacs talked shyt about Michael Jackson, everyday

Where did I say in my post that he had the same criticism as modern athletes?

He just wasn't blindly worshiped like people try to say he was.

 

[Real]

Imagine MJ talking shyt 6x and backing it up. He’d be even more legendary in the social media era

This is facts. My earliest memories of Mike is watching Come Fly With Me in Kindergarten and watching him all the way from Ring 1 to 6. Mike was untouchable back in the 90's. There's always whispering about his gambling and his trash talk, but it was buried underneath all the good publicity MJ had.

I think if social media was around back then, Mike would have had the irrational hate that Lebron gets today and it would greatly bother him until he says fukk it and double down on the hate and embrace and accept being the NBA's biggest heel. I personally would love to see an alternate universe where Mike's trash talking moments goes viral on an 82 game basis on Twitter


Add the fact that Dennis Rodman would also be on the same team and have just as much and most likely MORE social media exposure than Jordan and you have a grade A, S Tier penchant for fukkery that would have set the 90's ablaze


For all the young kids, MJ basically would've been like this if social media was in the 90's.
