- 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
