On the surface, yes.I mean no shyt
The subtext of what he meant is what I was referring to.
Who cares about Michael Jordan life off the court... it’s called privacy
Same motherfukkers who write these articles would be the same ones complaining if the public was out here talking about they personal lives and how they came from crack addict parents or siblings who was criminals or other personal shyt
Jordan, Kobe, Lebron have given me well over 30 years of good on the court basketball, I could give two shyts about what they do off of it unless they put it out there

Yep. But I also think white people expect talented black people to be of service to them. To ways have that aura of humbleness.
I always see comments by cacs about Michael Jackson being such a "gentle, humble guy" and that he was so "nice and humble" etc etc.
Same thing with Denzel Washington, cacs stay saying that he is kind of an a$$hole.
If black people are not of complete servitude to white folks and "hUmbLe" then we are demonized and a horrible person.
I'm not saying that Michael Jordan is a good person. I have never met him so I will never know that per se.
But I think a lot of white folks obsession with his personality is because he isn't the grateful negro they want him to be.
Also: that whole Katie couric nonsense with denzel Washington made me think of how many times I was hostile towards white folks b/c they irked me and how many of them hold on and remember those situations till this day. Probably plenty
I know that's not what the article was talking about. But I noticed this about any black icon.

Stopped reading at @Remote
I don't think that's shallow at all.
In fact his pursuit and desire for greatness in basketball is very deep.
Shallow would be to be accepting but not maximizing talent he had and lollygag through his entire NBA career ala Joe Johnson
No Jordan understand the very purpose of human existence
Maximize your god given worth
I think what this article does (and the references to the 2004 MJ book) is somewhat confirm what Ken Burns was trying to say when he criticized the documentary process.Yep. But I also think white people expect talented black people to be of service to them. To ways have that aura of humbleness.

Typically in a doc that focuses on a person, there will be an effort to learn more about the subject outside of what is public, common knowledge. And to be done in a thorough and coherent and honest way. But this doc has ultimately proved to be little more than a puff piece done by Jordan's people about Jordan himself.
Nothing of substance was learned here. It was largely a mixtape of his career.
Now a large part of this board is incapable of distinguishing between hatred and critique....between superficial attacks and hard, but fair questions. And perhaps an even larger part of the board skims a topic and sees "XYZ person is saying unflattering things about my hero" and that switch goes off where no rational thinking or discussion can be had.
So to bring it back full circle, what have we really gained from this documentary that we did not already know? Perhaps the details of Jordan's douchebaggery to certain teammates? Further confirmation that Dennis Rodman was a great player who walks to the tune of his own drum? That Jerry Krause's vanity destroyed a legendary dynasty?
We did not need 10 hours for that.
The article is true. MJ is a horrendous leader. The only reason he was able to get away with that shyt was that he could. His leadership style is garbage. Most nikkas here would agree with that if he was their boss, that's facts.
Joe Johnson? Yeah, you don't know shyt about Basketball. That nikka was a fukking worker. I knew that nikkas regimen, it wasn't LeBron but it was as advanced as any star or superstar in the league. Thecoli got too many low IQ Basketball fans. Between RealGM and this shytshow, ya'll make me realize the average Basketball fan doesn't need to have an opinion at all.
Look @ this dumbass coping pleas for his shytty ass thread
And equally idiotic LeGBT fakkits co-signing the shytty article Say James harden and Steph Curry and Bron are better offensive players than MJ and call others low IQ brehs
Co-sign a MJ article from a buzzfeed slate writer and call others low IQ brehs
