The Media half hates and half likes lebron where as Jordan had a whole dikk riding industrial complex since day one

Now lots of people explain this away by saying if it was the social media era Jordan would’ve gotten hate but if that was true , how do you explain the Tom Brady dikk riding industrial complex? It shouldn’t exist if the social media era theory held true

Tom Brady might have a presence on social media, but from an outsider's perspective, it doesn't seem like he engages with people on it to a high degree.

It seems like the only people who get bitten by social media and the wacky narratives construed on there are the people who actually care what the social mediots have to say. Cats can expose all of this alleged dirt on you, but if you just move on with your day without giving any attention to these gossiping fools, eventually they just leave you alone for the most part. It's like a bully trying to bully someone who couldn't care less about even acknowledging you. How can you strike fear into me if I couldn't care less about your existence?

Remember it takes two to tango. They may be a mob looking for their witch to burn at the stake, but if all they ever do is erect a gallows and pour gasoline on it, it's all for naught without a body to burn.

hmm, there is alot that goes into it tho, first lebron narratives started with the 24 hour news cycle, not just social media, that didnt kick off til later..Lebron was always put up against MJ. When Brady came up he was like underdog with elite defense, then he had spotlight with peyton manning who many would ask if he can get over the hump, he didnt do it at tenn., can he do it in NFL, etc. Brady won super bowl early so he didnt have monkey on his back or anything like that.. There is no narrative in NFL you need to win a million championships to be considered great..

NBA I dont even know who or how people can watch those sports shows nonstop that have to make up stuff to fill time..

What? Brady constantly had his credentials questioned

Matt Cassell
System qb
Carried by defense
Belichick made him


Why are you pretending not to know this :dead:

Even now that he's retired, People have shifted to just say "okay he's the goat in terms of accomplishments, but Rodgers/Peyton/etc. Are more talented"

Brady came in as the underdog and built his way up. LeBron came in with the highest expectations ever heaped on an amateur athlete, and mainstream media wanting to protect their daddy Jordan’s image as well. Not really comparable at all.

This is bs, MJ does nothing for the media so if Lebron had a real case against MJ then they would have declared him the goat in a majority. Lebron feeds the media

Look at all of the top basketball media guys. They’re all dedicated, ADMITTED MJ stans. It’s personal for guys like Skip and Wilbon and Stephen A.

Boy oh boy, I can just imagine what some of the hot takes Jordan’s version of Skip Bayless would be spewing every morning on TV. Some of the hot takes would be:

“Jordan’s ring vs the Lakers has an asterisk, the Lakers were old, injured and Magic had HIV. Anyway, Scottie Pippen should’ve been Finals MVP”

“Jordan got saved by the Bulls bench in game 6 vs Portland, he quit on his team in the 4th and asked to be put back in once the bench cut the deficit”

“The Phoenix Suns lost the Finals more than the Bulls won it. Charles Barkley was the best player on the court”

(after Jordan announced his retirement in ‘93) “Jordan is running away from the NBAs grind, he’s scared to defend his three-peat”

-Would’ve had a field day with Jordans loss to the Magic in ‘95

“Gary Payton locked down Michael Jordan in the ‘96 Finals. Was that the worst Finals performance by a superstar ever?”

“Jordan wasn’t really sick in Game 5 vs Utah, he was creating an excuse in case his team lost”

“Scottie Pippen’s defense is what saved the Bulls vs the Pacers, they would’ve lost that series without it”

“I’ve never seen a more blatant push off/offensive foul than Jordan on Bryon Russell. The NBA rigged that series for Jordan to ride off into the sunset”
