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”
