1. One of the major sports stories last season. Just because you guys are old and dickriders so you didn't post it doesn't mean millions of other people didn't see it and talk about it...
New research reveals Jordan's Defensive Player of the Year season likely included home-biased stats.

2. It's common knowledge in North Carolina MJ was behind his fathers death. A blood sacrifice based off gambling debts. Several people in law enforcement have tried to reopen his dads case but are shut down by MJs lawyers everytime. Why would he not want to know the truth? Unless he really knows the truth. MJ hasn't publicly acknowledged his dad since. But reminisces on Phil Jackson and Dean Smith who were "like father figures" publicly all the time.
You're white so I'm sure that doesn't strike you as strange. Him wacking his dad is prolly a come up to you. It got him closer to whiteness. Hes not Black, he's Michael Jordan.
3. We just had TNT bring him up out of nowhere last night and most of the today's game sucks discourse is coming from older fans of 90s ball (The Michael Jordan Show) which was far less talented or exciting than today's game. The players were just marketed more favorably. In the NFL, theres no 20 billion dollar a year shoe brand they're in bed with that they gotta keep propped up. So nobody's on NFL broadcasts name dropping Emmit Smith and Jerry Rice or comparing eras. Jordan Brand has been an official corporate sponsor of the NBA since 1990. It's literally controlled by the league office that's the only reason it gets promoted still and is always portrayed favorably...til now.
