was Jordan hated while he was playing?

[GoFlipAPack]

He was hated on for sure but then he made it and switched sides on us

MJ wasn't as hated as Lebron but he did have his critics. This book that pretty much trashed him was written in the midst of his prime

Those black and metallic 5s. Top 5 all time jordan sneaker.

The main difference between the Jordan and LeBron hate is that nobody ever thought Jordan was a bytch. LeBron is somewhat of a bytch nikka.
Is he talented? Yes
Is he an All time great? Yes
Have we seen his soul get taken? Yes
Has he lost more than he's won in the Finals? Yes
Did he run when the stove got hot? Yes
Did he go back to Gilbert Plantation? Yes

It's not hate to call these things out, it's the truth.

Jordan was considered a ballhog for awhile, especially by 80's purists I'm sure.

You'll always have a significant hate when there's change. It's the nature of time.

There are more outlets for haters than in Jordan's era. Now you have more tv/radio shows, websites, massage boards, social media...etc. so even if Jordan or any player of his era had haters back then, it's still nothing compared to today.

Look, Jordan is by far the most loved athlete of all time so lets stop cooking up this false narrative of him getting anywhere near the hatred LeBron or Kobe post Colorado got.

It has nothing to do with social media era or race either. Isiah was despised by fans everywhere while Charles Barkley was the main media scapegoat. Even cacs like Laimbeer & Christian fukking Laetner were legitimate hate figures, Air Jordan wasn't. Like the other MJ pre-child molestation accusations he's one of those nikkas that transcended race, became an International superstar & has since been eulogized & acclaimed into an untouchable God-like figure.

sure, i went dumb hard against him and the bulls during that Jazz series when it seemed like the refs were wearing chicago jersey's underneath their shirts. but i was really able to appreciate after he left the 2nd time. jordan didn't even have to deal with social media, which would've made him just as hated in proportion

Jordan became loved after his shoes were flames one after another

The GOAT

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?

hated....is probably the wrong word...doubted is the word for Jordan

it was thought to win that you had to be a magic or bird clone...jordan shyt all over that idea...

nikkas today and their literal hate for lebron baffle me....

social media nikkas

 

[joe cool]

Back then you could cultivate a fake perfect role model image which Jordan did so he was worshiped. Now with social media we have seen the real scumbag Jordan who goes up to dudes and asks them if he can fukk their wife.

I still have this book. The fact that it was written by a local writer and painted him as an a$$hole before kinda changed the way I felt about him.

 

[PTBG]

Yep, here was the thread I made way back about there being The Coli way back in the 80s/90s for further proof, nothing has changed at all.

people only hate LeBron because his game is flawed, he chokes down the stretch and played in a horrendous conference with a Super Team.

Jordan was hated by fans that he destroyed, but was respected. LeBron isnt respected... that's the difference
