MJ said some things you guys won't like

[johnnycake44022]

One thing mentioned that does concern me is the abuse LeBron takes. So far he is able to absorb it, as a young very athletic player, but at some point it will catch up to him. As everyone has been saying, he needs to develop a more reliable jumper (which is much improved from last year)

One think about Kobe though, his shot selection sucks in my opinion. Jordan was better at getting open shots (as is LeBron in my opinion).

It didn't really sound like him at all.

Guys have you ever listened to Jordan's voice? That sounds nothing like him

L.A. sucks dick.........they probably made this shit up with some impersonator. I'm assuming that its L.A. because they love rapists.

When's the last time Jordan correctly evaluated a player?

Lol, never!

Are you kidding? He's a great talent evaluator!!!

If there is one thing i know about MJ it's that he is probably the most competitive person ever. If he could find the fountain of youth or get some type of surgery done where all his aches and pains in his knees and back were to go away he would probably give all his money to have it done. He wanted and wants to be considered the greatest player of all time. He like everyone else knows that Lebron hasnt even tapped his potential yet and he is already doing things Jordan couldnt do at the same age. Jordan is threatened about this fact and he doesnt like it. He is a fan of Kobe because he knows that the best he can be is at Jordan's level. He knows Kobe hasnt broken records like Jordan did. He also probably looks at the fact Kobe went through some of the same hardships as Jordan. When being considered a scorer only and cant make his team better and things like that.

When Lebron's career is over he will be on a whole different planet than what Jordan was put on. There has never been a player with Lebron's strength, power, BBall IQ, court vision, and finesse.

I don't think this is Jordan because he is doing a lot of hating, I know he's cocky but I don't think he's this cocky.

 

[flamez]

I don't know what to say, it really doesn't sound like MJ to me.

If it is him though, I am very disappointed with his words. He uses the Orlando series to bash Lebron's game while correct me If I'm wrong but didn't Lebron shoot like 50% from the field against the Magic? He talks about Lebron's jumpshot while didn't Lebron shoot like 46% off jumpshots in the playoffs??

THAT AIN'T MJ...previous comments made by him about LeBron are NOT consistent with this outburst. That, and as few above me have correctly pointed out, that voice cannot be his.

It seems like something Jordan would say. Look, Jordan is a great basketball player, but how does that make him a great talent evaluator or always correct about things associated with basketball? It doesnt. I honestly believe I could do a better job running a team that he does. Also, his public image is nothing like the man himself from people I know who have worked with and for him. I hear is a complete jerk and huge egomaniac. Not taking away from his achievements, just never really got why we should care what a retired basketball player thinks to much.

L.A. sucks dick.........they probably made this shit up with some impersonator. I'm assuming that its L.A. because they love rapists.

Idiot.

Anyways, that is NOT MJ. They are some east coast sports personalities that have fake players come on and talk.

 

[The Voice]

MJ isn't exactly the best judge of talent, look at the drafting he's done for the Bobcats...

 

[Mdog1]

Meh who really cares what MJ thinks. He has never been the best talent evaluator, and even if he was then it is just his opinion any way. His opinion holds just as much weight as yours or mine (none).

 

[ZooCrewDude]

It doesn't sound like him at all. And in the beginning the host says: "Let's talk to OUR guy OUR MJ"

Our MJ? sounds like their version of MJ if you ask me.

I just don't see Jordan coming down on Lebron's game in this kind of way.

EDIT: After listening to the whole thing, it started to convince me it actually was him.. He did sound conceited to be sure, but actually brought up valid points that people have made about the Lebron, Kobe, MJ comparisons. The paraphrasing in the OP posted were a little out of context.

 

[Kongo Time]

Well i mean if you look at it LeBron still has alot of raw talent and maybe MJ is just saying this stuff to push LeBron to the top. Also LeBrons style is going to catch up to him and MJ is right for saying that and imo i think he said that so LeBron will jump shoot more then drive and dunk.
