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

[Nero Christ]

Chappelle was right.

People worship celebrities.

you messing up the point of this joke and how it relates to MJ & this article

right before Dave says "stop worshipping celebrities", he says people shouldn't be getting this mad at the Dixie chicks for protesting the war cause they just "bytches that can sing good". The author of this article is guilty of doing the same thing Dave is getting on people about if you didn't notice...expecting more from a man who made it clear he was laser focused in on ball. This author ironically is worshipping Jordan so much, he feels he is owed a look into Jordan's life...getting this mad because Jordan keeps his private life private and just wants to celebrate what he shared with the public during his playing days

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.
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 doc was for MJ fans and for a new younger audience who doesn’t know much about him.

They didn’t make it for old ass LeGBT PTSD stricken cac fakkits like you.

Jordan gave the “Jordan approved” documentary...it is what it is. I think it’s petty (but true to character) that he didn’t mention his first wife who had to hold him down at his peak as well as deal with all that comes with it, but that’s one of the stories that gets told if/when an objective doc is made. This was his Straight Outta Compton - the way Dre and Cube controlled the narrative is the way Jordan has

I went through the guy's twitter and honestly wouldn't be surprised if the author wasn't a poster on here.

Look @ this dumbass coping pleas for his shytty ass thread And equally idiotic LeGBT fakkits co-signing the shytty article

You don't even have the mental capacity to discuss what's wrong with the article.

The worshipping celebrities subtext wasn't about the Dixie Chicks protesting as much as it was a general condemnation of the pedestal people give those who are famous.

And that certainly applies to athletes here.
Or do you disagree?

Co-sign a MJ article from a buzzfeed slate writer and call others low IQ brehs

My goodness, you are an idiot.

So if Trump says 2+2=4 and you say 2+2=23, that doesn't mean I fukk with Buzzfeed or Trump in general but for this article or statement, they are right. MJ was a shyt leader. No other way around it. He was a great Basketball player. Mentally strong af but his leadership style is toxic. How are you arguing against that is beyond me?

3 replies in a thread that was trash?
I'm impressed.

And you can't help but bring up Lebron in everything. Wow. Your insecurity and obsession with that man is staggering.

It's not even that something is all that wrong with the article. It's just one of those annoying "well actually..." articles.

Basically people wanted a Surviving MJ doc

Which how it should be

Tell your story before somebody else does

Some people would've liked this more if Oprah did it, because we know how that would've gone down.

Here's 10bandz template:

Hype Kobe Bryant in everything.
Claim anyone who disagrees that Kobe is the #2 best player ever is a Lebron stan and Kobe hater. (or MJ for that matter)
Sprinkle in claims of racism and that's literally his entire existence on this board.

The people who read the article would have commented that they disagree or agree with the portrayal of the subjects or of the integrity of the documentary and its scope.

But no. In typical coli fashion we have to endure superficial claims of hating and other ulterior motives.
Though I suppose I knew this would happen. I brought it upon myself...
