    Amazed how Rodman could party like a rock star and still play his ass off. Dude was a physical freak. 

    And fuck Isiah Thomas. And China. 

    It probably happens more than we know. Hell, Harden lives at the strip club and that doesn't stop him from traveling his way across the court to insane numbers. Didn't Dwight Howard eat the equivalent of Verne Troyer in candy bars a day? Some of the stories had Mike staying up until 4 am in the casinos. These guys truly are superheros. Imagine having a buffet of beautiful groupies to satisfy your every desire night after night. It's a wonder they get any sleep at all.

    Bird is just next fucking level, and every time someone is surprised that this contradiction of an NBA player is considered one of the greatest to ever lace up a pair of sneakers, it makes me smile. YouTube videos of him and Magic passing is better than porn. Bird, Magic, and Michael, the holy trinity. 

     

    Also, this doc has made me pine for NBC's coverage of the NBA. It's been almost 20 years since the Mouse took over and it's sucked every step of the way.

    The organization should have taken care of him after a few championships and he never should have signed a long term contract. Both are true in this case. Hitting free agency after the lockout was good for him though as he cashed in later in his career. He earned over $100 million in his career, so nobody should feel sorry for him.

    He did lose most, if not all of it by being financially irresponsible. Vince Young has nothing on Pippen.

    Ugh, 1.5 seasons min(82 reg season games). Returned March 95. Can you do math? And yes, we all know he lost to Shaq and Penny which was a better Orlando team. Yada yada.

    I would have loved to see a finals with a non-rusty Jordan vs the Rockets. Would have been a tough, nightmarish matchup for the Bulls though.

    Now he's rusty. Look, I get the need to prop up certain heroes but I can't figure out this obsession with Lebron and Jordan where it's never their fault when they lose and always their greatness when they win. He came back, played well in fact, and lost. You think that Jordan would've come back at all if he wasn't up to his usual standards? He knew how good he was, and what shape he needed to be in to succeed. He lost. It happens to the best of them. They retooled the next season and had one for the ages.

    Tonight at 9pm, ESPN.  Can't wait.  Glad there's a thread already for this.  Jordan is GOAT. Flat out denied a bunch of All Stars world championship games by destroying the league for 6 out of 8 years.  And those two years they didn't win, he was retired.  That's dominance.  

    He was only retired for one season.

    One can only imagine how much money LeBron left on the table and how much better adjusted he would be had he only spent 5 months of his life playing school in Lexington or Chapel Hill or Durham or Austin. Going pro straight from high school killed his q rating and destroyed his career. Just another cautionary tale of a poor black kid being taken advantage of by the system. 

    About $3.50.

    After seeing that the NBA intends to fully nurture these players by having them under their control, prove them with education, and knowing about the leveling up the  NBA has done on financial education to help prevent players from going broke after going pro, do you really think they're overlooking this aspect with this major project? Especially given they've been marking the 2022 draft to be the one where they begin allowing  high schoolers back in the draft.  Also calling Dwight Howard a failure somehow is completely asinine when he's basically a lock to be a 1st ballot Hall of Famer and was legitimately one of the most dominant defensive players of all time, at least say fucking Eddy Curry or something. 

    I agree with MK to a certain extent on the maturity aspect, but no amount of college would’ve ever made Dwight act like an adult.

    One of the best years of my life. Sorry you wasted it. 

    That’s quite the assumption there, Carl. Just because it fucking sucked, doesn’t mean it was wasted. A lot of hard earned lessons. But what are these kids missing really? Pussy? Have you guys ever seen a NBA groupie hoard? I have. Drugs? They get tested, but as far as I know have access to a plethora of different pharmaceuticals. School? They don’t go to that shit anyway. School spirit? Okay. What am I missing here? Camaraderie? They hang out with their teammates. Sure seems worth foregoing a multitude of Benjamin’s. They aren’t like you and me, and will never have that experience. Not the ones who are ready for the pros, at least.

    These kids don’t have a normal college experience. It’s a fucking job. Might as well get paid for it. The complete disconnect from some of you and how most people view $400,000 is eye opening.

     

    And by the way, the G League contract includes a full ride for college for Green.
