I’m gonna livetweet The Last Dance eventually, but just gotta say this: everything you see has been approved and/or curated by Jordan himself. You see what he wants you to see. Let’s stop acting like he’s some mythological hero who has never lost anything meaningful!!

(Gary Payton was right.)

also as a pistons fan this doc dramatically misrepresents those battles in the early 90s and the reasoning for the handshake thing. before that game jordan comes out and says “pistons weren’t worthy champions and didn’t deserve their rings” yet detroit’s the sore losers?????

detroit beat him up for like 4 straight seasons and he only beat them ONCE because they got old! it happens!! yet even 30 years later he shit talks them on his own dumb little doc lmao

the celtics walked off the floor without shaking hands when the young pistons team finally beat them, but because it wasn’t against mighty mj nobody cares!!

as for jordan’s argument that he lost gracefully (lmfao) it’s a lot easier to lose when your greatest days are ahead of you vs when you’re old and past your prime and have to hand the league to your nemesis for good!! just ask 1986 Larry bird!! getting old is hard!!

if jordan didn’t run away like a little bitch when he started to get old, his myth would’ve been shattered when the spurs/lakers swept him in 99/00. he load managed entire seasons while the pistons played until the wheels literally came off. yet jordan is seen as tough?!?!?

fuck michael jordan. is my point

2007 arsh would’ve never believed i’m saying this but lebron is more of an authentic, cerebral, and well-rounded player than jordan ever was. but because of the recency bias of seeing jordan play more than lebron in the last three months, people are just ripping on lebron now.

“jordan never lost in the finals like lebron did” JORDAN TOOK ENTIRE SEASONS OFF WHEN HIS TEAM SUCKED while lebron carried a team with eric fucking snow and larry hughes as starters to the finals!!

jordan needed another top 50 player of all time to win while lebron’s best teammate so far is dwyane wade, likely not even top 200 of greatest ever players

ok i’m done i wish i had more followers so i could enjoy all the angry responses from jordan sycophants this would generate.

i only meant all the pistons-related shit on this thread and the anger from jordan’s misrepresentation of those teams led me to just talk shit into the void
