During the 90's was Jordan hated like LeBron is today? Did people not appreciate his greatness till he retired? I understand that LeBron James Will meet expectations it's impossible they are to high. Did Jordan go through this hate While playing?

Yes he did until he finally won and shut up all of the detractors. When MJ was leading the league in scoring and getting bounced early in the playoffs they shifted on him calling him a selfish ball hog that would never win. They loved to hold up the fact that no Celtic had ever led the league in scoring and they won the most. White America used that as their main talking point. I wasn't a Jordan fan, but he was raw as fukk. He did everything. nikka could score, lock down the others teams best player, free throws, never folded or backed down even in defeat, clutch as a bytch, and when he started winning he didn't stop. He forced the league's best to lean back. His game was so complete that nobody could really criticize his game. Most of his hate comes from off the court.

How old is you Bruh? Jordan was Hated to the max. Even got his pops popped... There was no social media back then or trolls like Skip Bayless on TV everyday, that helped him.

Mike wasn't hated like bron is today. Of course he had critics but it was a different time. No social media to fuel disdain.
Now Isiah? Or lambeer? Total hatred.
Once he won a ring it was all love for the most part
:mjlol: They did hate on him when he use to stick his tongue out before he dunked tho
