You know how some celebrities, people find out all the great good things they did, like after they pass on or something. Like maybe put kids through college, give out 100 percent tips, etc.

I think for MJ, we will find more people he cursed out lol.

If you listen to the podcast clip, the players understand the shittalk. Iverson is a huge MJ fan too!

It's amazing how Nike kept MJ's bad side so well under wraps for marketing purposes.

There's a whole 10 part documentary on Netflix, produced by Michael Jordan, going over how much he wasn't a nice guy lol. You should probably watch it.

Pretty sure there's even a scene of him hugging Larry Bird and whispering "You Bitch" in his ear lol.

To steal a bit from a recent CSB episode, Jordan is basically the toxic af rival character who never had his comeuppance from a noble hero to teach them the lesson that the game is actually about fun, friendship and teamwork rather than being the absolute best and being a complete asshole about it.

If you're a nice guy in the NBA, everyone just complains you don't have a killer instinct and calls you boring. You never get any media soundbites. Trust me, I've played enough 2k to know that after you max that team stat, you go full on selfish to get those fans/endorsements.

Are you telling me MJ is Bakugo (until a few volumes ago)? :P

Yeah my comment was more aimed at the MJ was an asshole crowd, which hey, he probably was, but this is just normal shit talk. There's a reason why it wasn't covered much because that was just the norm back before there were mics everywhere in the court

Honestly I would say that's pretty normal on the court. A lot of guys will shit talk during the game happens all the time.

MJ's assholery has been known for some time, lol. Still the GOAT though, his passion for being the best is unmatched by any other athlete, in my opinion.

Ay gotta try to get in their head somehow.

Pretty much. Unless it's Tim Duncan, then he'll give you tips on how to improve as he schools you with bank shots 😂.

Imagine being so stupid to trash talking Jordan lmao...

I watched a highlights' compilation a few days ago. He was absolutely ridiculous and in a completely different planet compared to any other player, like a cheat character created in a videogame.
