Why does Jordan get a pass on his 2 year break and Wizards run?

[Take_Note]

Lebron will never escape his finals losses. MJ rarely gets called out on his underwhelming/unneeded Wizards return or getting a 2 year break from all the stress and emotional toll going to the finals every season would do to someone. This stuff needs to be brought up more when discussing King James and MJ


Michael Jordan's NBA career didn't end as an NBA champion in 1998. It ended in 2003 with a 37-45 team

You ever hear the saying "Winning cures everything"? Well then, what does being the GOAT do? That's your answer.

As a Bulls fan, I like to pretend those two years never happened. But his last year he was putting up 20/6/4/2 on 45% at 40 years old. Should actually be talked about more

But that's the thing, any blight on his career is overlooked. Lebron gets none of that.

He went to the Wizards to donate his money towards 9/11.

I like to pretend it never happened because he was in another jersey.

I'm not a jordan fan whatsoever but those two years actually enhance his legacy imo. Y'all lebronze dikksuckers are in a terribly losing battle which you won't give up. It's fukking pathetic nikka

We're in the apex of social media Monday morning QBs.If There was twitter/FB/IG during Jordan's gambling retirement mystery ...shiiiiiiiieeeeet.

I know I fully expected a 40 year old, Kwame Brown, Ty Lue, Christian Laettner, and Larry Hughes to make noise in May and June.

He's the GOAT. We were just happy to see him on the court again...but 40 years old is 40 years old.

2 year break and Wiz run but still got 6 rings

We're already getting to the point that people are forgetting the WOAT finals performance from a Mt. Rushmore player. The Mavs finals (when he was in his prime) disqualified him from any GOAT conversation.

Now talking heads have conveniently forgotten about it and the MJ/Lebron stuff is all over the place again.

Exactly op tryna shyt on him not realizing that his wizards years show you just how mean he was dude was 39/40 and between those two seasons averaged over 21 a game damn near all bounce and quickness was gone and he was coming back from a 3 year lay off hell his first season with the wizards he was averaging 25 a night before he hurt his hammy who else can do that type of shyt and contrary to belief that first retirement didn't help mj it's not easy to lay off of professional basketball for a season in a half jump right back into the mix and still be top dawg you'll need to get that mj hate out your hearts bron might be the king but mj is the god of this shyt

 

[MikelArteta]

He was 40 a guard dominating players half his age

What's with this open-booty queer HYPERBOLE talk in sports? Define "gets a pass." WTF is that equate to, 'gets a pass?' Those years are factored into his career averages. What the fukk is this, boxing or MMA?
