Ball Is Life

I am a die hard fan of the game of basketball and have been playing and watching the game for over 25+ years. Like most people growing up in the Michael Jordan era, I am a die hard fan of him. I am also a fan of the Lakers.

    REMEMBER YOU said????? A lot of times, we're comparing eras, we're comparing different rules…" Reddick said on The Big Podcast. "I'll say this with Michael Jordan, and I don't mean this to be controversial." "Everybody talks about the context of this era. The Dallas Mavericks were added as the 23rd team in 1981. Jordan was drafted. During his heyday, six teams were added to the NBA. There were 90 players added to the NBA. Like that, does that not water down? I'm not talking playoffs, by the way; no chance I'm talking playoffs. Does that not water down the regular season to a degree?" JJ RED 😂

    Wasn’t my favorite athlete in basketball, but the ERA wasn’t soft in the least. Only because everybody jumped on the Bandwagon to Chicago WGN (No disrespect Kinfolk) and WTBS Atlanta Hawks fan JUMPED SHIP after all the Conference battles with Detroit and Boston. BECAUSE BOTH come from the Southeast North Carolina meaning Dominique Wilkins.

    3:45 Yes you did make the comment. You said if Bird was black he'd just be another good guy and then laughed about it. If the reported asked if you agree with what Rodman said and all you said was yes then you could say that you didn't make the comment.

    Rodman and Thomas saying that totally downplayed how good Bird was and basically said the only reason he's good is cause he's white. That's the peak of racism.

    He had to prepare for interviews in advance; Truth is , Jordan could never beat Bird or Kareem. Even that weakened '91 Lakers squad took a game or two in the NBA Finals. Imagine being 3-4 years younger than Magic Johnson, yet he was competing in the previous era ('80-'89) and winning while MJ won nothing. Now, imagine being 2-3 years younger than Isiah Thomas, and MJ winning nothing in the '80s. That sucks

    Knowing Houston was taking Hakeem Olajuwon first overall in the 1984 draft, Bob night called the GM for the Portland Trailblazers informing them that they absolutely have to pick Jordan 2nd overall! The GM of the Trailblazers said they weren't interested in Jordan because they needed a center! Knights response... "Then start Jordan at Center!"

    Man , I couldn't stand this man in the 90s because he would beat my team so many times I rooted against him every finals because when he got the ball in a lot of those last quarters even if he was having an off night wich weren't many , you just knew he was coming!!! And you also knew there was nothing nobody could do about it. But years later and now looking back I realized just how privileged I was to watch him perform. Michael was just incredible, he exemplified everything of what you wanted to see in sports; the hard work, the passion , the never say die attitude, the get out of my way, I'm taking over attitude oh man just brings tears to my eyes to watch all these highlights of him. Thanks MJ for putting on a show for us even when we were on the loosing side. You just made not only your teammates better but your opponents better , the game of basketball better and yes even brought the best out of fans and foes alike. Just the most magical time to watch the greatest ever!!!!

    Class? He lost. He can’t change the truth. MJ fans need to learn that. He got eliminated for a decade but you minimize it by saying he showed class? Lol… Then there was multiple games MJ didn’t show any class… MJ trashed Detroit before the game… and took a game waaaay further by cheating Isaiah out of the Olympics… hating his own friends… so MJ is not known for class… MJ is known for trash… bullying his overweight and short manager… that’s worst. Punching 3 of his own teammates… don’t even mention wizards evidence… MJ was so horrible they fired MJ for being trash in managing and playing on a team… So interesting how y’all still try to pretend MJ was so good while the evidence is crystal clear… the second his team speaks on the hidden history of MJ… delusional MJ fans run to protect the MJ lies and y’all attack all the many people saying the same things about MJ. Definition of delusional. Regardless of conflicting evidence they still believe the media marketing image lies.

    The NBA in the 1980’s was the Best ERA in NBA History and I am glad the Pistons were a part of it. They were the known as the Bad Boys for their Rough Style of play and Bill Laimbeer was the Bad Boys Leader. Today’s NBA is way too soft.
