"You've got to miss eventually," Henderson told him. "That's what Cleveland said," replied Jordan. (sports.espn.go.com)

It's cute how he took time out of his busy 36 hole days to inflict psychological torment on his employees. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 1, 10:46 23
- It's even more cute how he lost both games he played too. -- nm - Jim Mar 1, 11:00
- You... don't.... dislike Michael Jordan, do you? This is humor? -- nm - TFox Mar 1, 10:48 21

    - I never really considered that there were people who didn't like Michael Jordan. -- nm - TFox Mar 1, 10:54 11
      - did you hear his NBA HoF induction speech? - jingoist pixie Mar 1, 10:59
      - I don't dislike him; I'm just being honest of his performance as a person associated with the hometown team. - Will Hunting Mar 1, 10:58
      - I don't know how a fan of any team other than The Bulls coud "like" him. - musubi Mar 1, 10:56 7
        
        I love Lebron. Extremely not a Cavs fan, but Lebron is awesome. -- nm - TFox Mar 1, 10:58 6
        
        Lebron cultivates an image of likeability. MJ was a cutthroat assassin. - musubi Mar 1, 11:02
        
        During Jordan's career, I loved him; that greatness is something to behold. - Will Hunting Mar 1, 10:59 4
        
        Here's my thing: I *never* rooted for Jordan to succeed. Even against other teams. - musubi Mar 1, 11:05 3
        
        I freely admit I was a Jordan fanboy in the same way I like Tiger Woods. They weren't overtly friendly (like Lebron now is), but their greatness was - Will Hunting Mar 1, 11:07 1
        
        Let me correct myself: I can see how a person could "like" him on the court. He was great, no question. - musubi Mar 1, 11:13
        
        I understand this for fans of like two teams: Detroit and Cleveland. -- nm - TFox Mar 1, 11:06
      - I don't know the guy. I know his achievements, but I don't know *him*. He hasn't done anything to offend me, so ... he's alright. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 10:55
  - He's been an absent owner there; he was an absent 'GM' here in DC. - Will Hunting Mar 1, 10:51 2
    - If you buy a team in Charlotte, and you are Michael Jordan, the easiest way to start fixing things is to be around. - TFox Mar 1, 10:53 1
      - I'm just saying quite simply since I've seen him as part-owner dude in charge of my local team - Will Hunting Mar 1, 10:57
  - I think he's an excellent baseball player. -- nm - Will Bunting SI Mar 1, 10:51
"...then proclaims death upon those who he defeats" - the rest of the story Mar 1, 10:46
win or lose, you've got to be nervous there about getting cut. -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 10:46 1
- dammit, can't you let me win just this once? -- nm - prayformojo Mar 1, 10:47
