My memory is foggy but weren't you hating on Tiger Woods in one of the golf threads?

Maybe. Key word there is “try”. Always trying to improve myself. My revisionist history memory wants to remember it was asking what the fascination was with his tourney win/comeback. I’m a little young or didn’t pay attention to golf to cherish Tiger’s era. Either way. Tiger greatness. MJ greatness. I’ve learned my lesson.

Also, after typing this i feel like i just turned into d wags.

I'm all for hatred in a sports context (emphasis on sports context). Sports are about emotions, rivalries, etc. It's part of what makes it fun, at least for me. But to each their own.

Yes, the Starbury take. I think he's still playing in China. I mean probably not right now.

Holy cow, can’t tell at all that the author is a knicks fan that got his dick kicked by Jordan’s bulls.

Yeah then they melted down against the rockets and Shaq regrets it now but left for the money

Sounds like criticism of your hero sets you off. Nobody is perfect and everyone is entitled to their point of view. Having six rings doesn't make some one a perfect human being. Also, count me in the camp that believes Lebron > than Jordan both on the court and off the court.

Wow if Zeke was being sincere in that interview I posted, that's gotta hurt. I guess I don't know when the interview in the doc was filmed vs. Isiah's dinner with MJ, but that is some harsh shit 30 years later.

MJ still hating just means the Pistons still own him

Well they did have a .750 winning percentage against him in playoff series. (I think they won 3 of 4). That still has to kill him.
