that's cool and imma finish reading, but james is a whole lot bigger of a dude and to have comparable numbers is astonishing. That's really what makes him a freak of nature.

Jeffrey never beat Bird in the playoffs in his life.
And keep it real, Magic and Worthy were well past their prime in 1991.
Jeffrey dominated the league after Magic and Bird were done splitting titles in the 80s.
Jeff was busy getting handled by the Pissed-Ons and Czzz in the 80s.

Where did you get those values? I don't remember a 40 yard sprint test. That's is not even a useful tool for a basketball player. It's about first step and burst.
And if you think James and Bryant aren't on HGH or whatever flavor PED is on the market you fooling yourself.
Jordan was Jordan because the league gave him the golden kiss with the refs. Pistons beat him up, he bitched, they protected him. Bryant just lost his. NBA is a for profit league
If you don't get the calls while driving in the lane you get injured or you get Vince Cater'd.

Kobe lost a (few) Finals though. Jordan didn't.

Jeffrey got handled for 5 straight years and got dismissed prior to the Finals.
He was very salty after that.
Kobe mentions in my video that, in light of winning the MVP and getting to the Finals, he still considered the entire season a failure--the goal is a championship.
Winning is all this guy gives a fuck about.
He shouldn't have chased shaq out of town so he could finally be the guy and stat whore then.

And yet, in spite of that, Kobe still ran off 2 chips without him.
How many did Shaq get without Bean?
Shaq was chased out of town on 5 teams.

If Shaq had the same work ethic as Kobe, the Lakers would have prolly gotten 6 chips in 8-9 years.
They could have had a lot more if they had kept shaq and kobe stopped trying to be Jordan so much, something he never had any shot at being.

Right, so you are basically saying it was 100% Kobe's fault the Lakers broke up.
Shaq's ego played zero role...again, if that is true, why did Shaq go to MIA, PHX, CLE and BOS after leaving the Lakers AND bad mouthed management after he left all those places?
Was that Kobe's fault too?

pretty sure Shaq left the Suns, Cavs and Celtics amicably
she really said this?

Naw, he had words for Kerr on the way to CLE..
So even if we remove PHX, he only trashed the Magic, Lakers and the Heat on the way out the door.
You can't refute that shit.
3 of the 6 teams he played for.
Clearly a Kobe problem.
Yep.
I'd have words for the Lakers management too if Kobe made them choose between me or him and they chose him, the guy who was the clear #2 on their title teams.
That's not saying Shaq didn't bring his own problems like being out of shape, but it's also not like Kobe was the best teammate in the world. He was basically Jordan with 50% extra diva sprinkled in with 100% less achievements (at the time).
For real. That's my favorite Jordan dunk ever.
Step 1. Be an amazing athlete
Step 2. NEVER say anything interesting or remotely controversial
Step 3. ???
Step 4. Profit from the throngs of jock-sucking fans.

Continue to ignore the other teams he shit on on the way out.
Did the Heat choose Wade over Shaq too?
Is that why he wanted outta there? Shaq bitches and moans everytime he's not "the man". One of the main reasons he wanted outta Orlando too.
Penny was getting to be a pretty big deal (Lil Penny ads, AS appearances and whatnot).
Penny, Kobe, Wade...it's always poor Shaq who has to leave when the 2 guard starts taking off.
Poor, poor Shaq.
Magical.

I'm not surprised at all, with how Jordans had people crazy for the last few years, right down to teenagers and kids, male and female. And he doesn't have to do a damn thing either, Nike just has to put out a new color scheme for some classic J's and that's it.
Hahahaha What a fucking twat
What the fuck are you talking about? Magic had AIDS (most experts blame Jordan for that) and Bird was washed up in the 90s. Same for Worthy. Stockton and Malone were the garbage of the West until everyone died or retired and they gave an aging Bulls team all they could handle. Pipp carried them for 6 years but he (the true star) was on fumes in the late 90s.
Jordan never played Hakeem in the playoffs. Nor Robinson (also not sure how much of an achievement it would have been to have beaten him after Hakeem ate his dick in the playoffs on live television).
The Bulls did beat Drexler, GP and Barkley (who were the best teams him played). And they owned New York, but I wouldn't brag about beating Ewing. He was always worthless.
Magic beat the 80s Celtics, cured AIDS, brought Starbucks to the ghetto and laid down some sweet ass loving to the 10s of thousands of impossibly fine women (including some of our mothers if they were fine enough and blessed to be one of his groupies) . He is greater than Jordan (weirdo was sexually attracted to Jacko) and any other athlete I have seen or read a out.

Must be tiring copy/pasting the same thing in all these Jordan threads!
Less than 10% of $80 million is pretty good for retirement

All that money to dress like this? WTF mang
Dude literally chose the shittiest looking shoes he could throw on.
When you remember that they are designed and made by 5 year old slaves then they don't look so bad.
If I got paid 80 million a year my money would be spent on more important things really. And, he has his own swag, even if that swag is nonexistent.
