That's because he had an amazing agent. Not because Jordan was some genius at image management. David Falk was a genius.

Michael Rappaport leaks DMs from Kevin Durant
- Thread starter Dalek
- Start date
I mean, he picked the agent and the right people to surround himself with right? That's kind of the key to Lebrons success with his image too
Yes, he was petty. Yes, he held grudges. Yes, he was a complete sociopath.
What I'm saying is that MJ wouldn't be getting emotionally hurt DMing people or having burner accounts. He would instead just end you in some fashion.
Also MJ's HOF speech is brilliant and a rare insight into his psyche.
He signed him out of college, before he knew anything about image management. Falk was the wizard behind the curtain in terms of MJ's image.
Lebron is more savvy, but only because Lebron saw the blueprint that was build with MJ.
I agree there. But Rapport is not a basketball player. Jordan just would've cut him off like he did to Sport Illustrated.
Jordan was a shit talker but I don't think he'd let a Rappaport get under his skin like this.
This honestly embarrassing stuff from KD.
I don't even think it is him just being "sensitive."
He just doesn't know how to process criticism or people not liking him. He's got some issues.
There are people who know how to deal with their sensitivity, KD as we can see, is not one of those individuals.
I really hope there some drama behind the scene's with the 3 of them.
I thought it was funny.
All I'm saying that is that Jordan was petty. Many athletes are. The issue with KD is that he leaves evidence with his social media exploits.
I think they cancel each other out lol
I mean I just don't get why he doesn't get credit for that. When you're rich and famous that's like 90% of the battle. If you're good enough for LeBron to copy you must be doing it pretty well
got a flashback to the Avengers Game thread reading this.
still makes me laugh till this day.
He deserves the credit. I'm just saying he had a mentor and whole corporation (Nike) helping him. That matters tons. Not everyone got those resources.
Yes. This dude is absolutely terrible at this stuff. He needs to stay away from social media.
Yeah and him and his team picked Nike when they were small potatoes so credit for figuring that out too
Twitter drama probably fuels him tbh. No real reason to stop despite how pathetic it comes across.
In Halo 2 Xbox Live Lobby terms, KD would be the player talking mad shit and flaming people, whereas Rappaport is the asshole recording it for content while being even more of an absolute shitstain of a human.
That image is kind of wack, it's potential earnings based on salary cap rules given what contract he takes after his... OKC contract? That image is at least six years out of date.

He also opted for below the lowest estimate on that chart.
Face it Kevin
This gif will never not be funny to me. KD should stay off social media.
Nah we not in here defending Rappaport. Dude a fucking loser who chases attention. He finally got all the smoke he was seeking. Glad KD went full troll on him.
LMFAO
What kills me is hes talking to them like they really understand. Bro i needed this laugh holy shit.
This is some clown shit from KD. Like how soft can you be. Dude needs to let other people manage his social media.
Wtf KD. Ok, watching that video of David Rappaport and not having court side seats, but row 6 from KD and expecting closer ones. "I want splinters in my ankles". Rappaport sounds entitled and KD had enough of that.
KD should have ignored Rappaport. KD with that homophobic comment though, damn. He needs to lay off the social media.

Nope, I didn't say anything about the language he used. Rappaport is a known asshole and KD finally sent some attention his way. Not glad about any homophobic language used.
He's a weird dude that engages in childish flame wars online, but when he's playing he's also the best basketball player in the world.
I guess it's a good thing athletes didn't have access to social media in the 80s/90s/etc.
