Or Will Perdue even getting an analyst job. Or people pursuing players that used to play for the Bulls, such as Scott Williams and Horace Grant so that they can have players on their roster with "Championship Experience"

By "they" I meant the other observers.
I have no idea what Jordan's teammates said, but the video basically said that he was a jerk.
Recognition != Better player, I don't know where you got that from.
Recognition and championship experience is what made people even bother pursuing many of those ty players. Recognition is what makes us actually know who the most of those players are. I promise that if it wasnt for the Bulls, no one here would know who the Craig Hodges, Will Perdue, Steve Kerr, and about 80% of the other heads that played over there. The only quality players he really had was Pippen, Oakley (who was not there in the championship years), Cartwright, Grant, and Kukoc. However, the only guy you would actually depend on for a quality game on a nightly basis, was Pippen.
Being a GM = being a better player how?
Led them to a more successful career, yeah. Better player? No.
I bet if you googled...you would find quite a few of MJ's former teammates who said he made them better. I have heard Steve Kerr say it numerous times.Recognition != Better player, I don't know where you got that from.
i guess getting to the playoffs & going through the grind of winning a le doesn't make you a better player in any way. especially when, if not for a certain superstar on your time, you'd just be sitting at home instead.
You mean, being the #1 pick of the Spurs in 1984 wouldn't clinch it for John?In a world where Michael Jordan didn't exist, I'd love to see John Paxson or Steve Kerr interview for a GM job.
"okay next candidate.....John Paxson.....who the is that???"
This theory has created much confusion over the years. It is obvious that Pippen would never have won those les without Jordan, but are you saying that Jordan would have won those les by subs uting Pippen with an average SF by his side all those years?
Without Michael Jordan, they are never in the position to hit gamewinning shots in the Finals. without that experience, future teams like the Spurs & Lakers have no use for guys like Steve Kerr & Horace Grant & Ron Harper.
If you don't think playing in those type of high pressure games doesn't make you a better player, I don't know what to say.
Guys like Kerr & Paxson basically owe their entire livelihoods to Jordan, not to mention that he made them better players.
I wouldn't publicly bad-mouth one of the best players of all time. It's instant career suicide.
I believe Kerr even said that if it wasn't for playing with Jordan and the Bulls, he probably would have never lasted as long as he did in the league, and probably would have been gone after a couple years.
The players' seasons with and without Jordan seemed to have shown no difference.
So they'll go on ESPN and call him a jerk but they're just way too scared to tell everyone that he didn't make them a better player? right.
I am saying it is possible. I don't know for sure...and neither do you.This theory has created much confusion over the years. It is obvious that Pippen would never have won those les without Jordan, but are you saying that Jordan would have won those les by subs uting Pippen with an average SF by his side all those years?
I am not saying that Pippen was not talented, but some people seem are cool with him being in the 50 greatest and placing him in the HOF...I wouldn't say they are wrong, just that I do not agree with them. The world is more than black and white.
Thats great. At the same time, if he thought he was such as ty teammate, he didn't have to say anything at all. But he did the opposite, he does nothing but praise Jordan for all that he did for him.
Again, these are all better careers, not better players. Michael Jordan did practically nothing to make them better players. They were dead-eye shooters without Jordan, they were dead-eye shooters with Jordan. How did Jordan make them better players? Paxson shined in the his first finals, closing out the Lakers, how did Jordan make him better?
Except for the fact that without Jordan, or some other loaded superstar team, such as Duncan and Robinson's Spurs, they got no rings. Thats a BIG difference.
They didn't say he was a jerk, they alluded to it, and said it was compe ive spirit. Which is basically exactly the same thing Kobe is doing now.
Then you say nothing or keep your comments to a minimum, you don't flat out lie.I wouldn't publicly bad-mouth one of the best players of all time. It's instant career suicide.
Because without Jordan, he wouldn't have been in any Finals, period.
lol, 6 rings
so you're saying that the experience of playing in (and winning) the NBA Finals will do nothing to make a player better?
well point me to where they've ever alluded to Jordan not making them better players.
