It just seemed a little odd that he spent the entire time whining about how hard it is for him to adjust to a post NBA world. And he kept pointing out time after time how he didn't want to be there at the ceremony.

Very few players get recognized to be in the HOF. I don't care if you're the greatest to ever lace them up. Just STFU, accept your award, and be grateful for the life you have lived.

I don't want to hear about how you have to play golf to keep yourself from breaking down now that you aren't in the NBA anymore.

It was a bittersweet speech, that's for sure. Jordan can't cope with being out of Basketball.

Jordan was a god when he played, now he's laughed at for picking Kwame Brown. With the Bobcats slipping out of the Playoffs, it's gotta be pretty hard on him right now.

He's just a one trick pony.

Youll understand what he means once you go through puberty

He's maybe the most competetive person ever in the NBA. People like that don't want to have to face aging, and telling him "congratulations, your career as a player is over" isn't going to sit well with him. I grew up with someone like that.

But I'm sure Michael should have thought about what you want to hear before he addressed the media.
