MJ the greatest. :mjcry:

True privilege to watch him play.

I know nikkas are going to clown(:martin:) but MJ and/or his people definitely researched those two organizations to make sure they are going to do exactly what they are suppose to do.
I'm not saying it's too late for him to say something but I won't do backflips and do salute it either.

A lot of people don't realize that back in the mid 80s dudes were getting killed over jordan sneakers in chicago and other places. People were putting pressure on MJ to speak out but he never did. I think his voice and influence can hold a lot of weight. I also believe you have so many outspoken athletes at nike that it's weird that the poster boy for the brand never speaks out on social issues.

To be fair, I have heard from different people that he does contribute a lot of money behind the scenes. These days you need the voice along with the money, both are equally important...

:childplease: No disrespect but what the fukk is he suppose to say? Whenever there is a product in demand people are going to try to steal that shyt.

Interesting how this only applies to MJ and not Tim Cook, or Steve Jobs. People get their Iphones/Macbooks stolen everryday. How come people don't ask them to speak out?
