Slate: Michael Jordan is exactly who I thought he was.

[CHICAGO]

The documentary said Jordan was planning on retiring before the 92-93 season.



I have no idea what’s wrong with the article. It’s in line with what was in the doc. Jordan was an important basketball player who offered nothing else. You wouldn’t even know dude was married with children if not for the 3 minutes of screen time his children got, and the two or three references to his wife.

And his teammates clearly didn’t fukk with him that much outside of Stockholm syndrome Scott Burrell.

The point that should have made this clear was Jordan calling Pippen selfish for having surgery during the 97-98 season. Jordan made 32 million that season while Pippen was making 2 million. Jordan still thinks Pippen would have came back for some below market, short term deal with his busted ankle and bad back.

NOBODY MADE PIP SIGN THAT STUPID ASS CONTRACT.

JORDAN MADE 3.5 MILLION
PER YR FOR THE 1ST 4 TITLES
AS THE BEST PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE.

OF COURSE PIP WAS SELFISH.
nikka QUIT ON THE TEAM AGAIN...

PLAY YOUR CONTRACT OUT
AND GET PAID JUST LIKE
THE BEST PLAYER ON THE TEAM DID.

What I wanted was some dope highlights of MJ in his day and a little of his perspective, that's what we got

I’m saying though. I can’t wait till this is on Netflix so I can run it back to back.

NOBODY MADE PIP SIGN THAT STUPID ASS CONTRACT.

Get told by management that it’s a bad deal that you shouldn’t sign it, but if you sign it they weren’t going to renegotiate, then get mad after you sign it because they won’t renegotiate brehs.

Get told by everyone in the room that it's a shytty deal, then get mad when it's a shytty deal brehs.

So in a JORDAN heavily featured doc that was showing a bunch of shyt about him in 84, 85, etc..was shown

However, the woman who was influential in his life is not in the DOC. That terrible MJ movie from the 90s even stated how important she was to him. They got a 10 hourt doc fam. Cant juelz about why she was completely ghost...unless you accept as Straight Outta Compton levels of controllin the narrative.

R.I.P to the security guard...but even he and his wife got a spot
edit: I dont care about the shyt from slate or others hating. His ex wife deserved some level of shout out

Damn, you really wanted to hear from Juanita.

More context to MJ calling Pip selfish for sitting out in 97-98.

Sam Smith on Michael Jordan: 'Many players suffered under his wrath'

A lot of people forget his contract [renegotiation], which was extraordinary at the time in some respects. His first contract was seven years, $6.3 million. And then Magic Johnson got his 25-year, $25 million contract, which was this amazing, extraordinary thing. What his agent cleverly did is he said, “Well, give him $25 million and we’ll give you 25 years.” So, a million dollars a year back in 1986 or whenever it was. And so the Bulls did their only renegotiation they’ve ever done and tore up Jordan’s rookie contract and gave him eight years, $25 million, which was extraordinary. In the sports world, it was the biggest contract ever at the time. Nobody had considered anything like that. And, actually, that was the contract that he carried through the 1995-96 season when he didn’t get a renegotiation and played out his original deal. They talk about Scottie, but Jordan was like the 60th-highest player in the league or something when he came back.
