Scheidler Says: July 20th, 2010 at 3:45 pm JB, I believe if you go back and watch the 2009 HOF ceremony and watch Jordan get inducted, his first comment was "In all those videos, you also saw Scottie Pippen." He gave credit where it was due to his running mate and the one teammate that was with him for all 6 titles. The couldn't have made a real run at the title without MJ or at least a proven star." Well, I agree that they didn't have a real chance at the title, but they didn't have a proven star? Are you out of your mind? And of course they didn't have a chance at the title, they just lost the best player in the world

The key is for people to know which group they belong to -- and then to get the hell out of the other group's way.According to his employees, Jordan has been sticking to his new plan, stepping away from the draft board and into the boardroom. Unlike his experience as a front office man in Washington, he now had to answer to no one.In both of those front office roles, Jordan at first was a constant contradiction, with ultraselective public appearances and a front office omnipresence that came and went in streaks

Michael Jordan - Basketball Wiki
With the Finals triumph, Jordan capped off what may have been the most spectacular seven-year run by an athlete ever, but there were signs that Jordan was tiring of his massive celebrity and all of the non-basketball hassles in his life. On March 18, 1995 Jordan announced his return to the NBA through a two-word press release: "I'm back." The next day, Jordan donned jersey number 45 (his number with the Barons), as his familiar 23 had been retired in his honor during his first retirement

"I guess I had seen it before."Now a regional sales manager for Upper Deck with a passion for restoring classic cars, Larry Jordan said the murder of their father James during a carjacking and robbery on the side of a road near Lumberton, N.C., in the summer of '93, hit the family understandably hard.Michael's brother Larry noticed something strange during Michael's first game back from retirement in 1995

Michael Jordan: His First NBA Return 20 Years Later
This move shocked many because Jordan was at the prime of his career and he was playing the game at a level that few of his peers were capable of reaching. While the Bulls did push the Knicks to a seventh and deciding game, without a true closer on the court in Jordan, the Bulls fell to the Knicks in Game 7, which ended an era of playoff dominance over their long time nemesis
For hours at Jordan's house, they discussed the cons (he could fall below expectations) and pros (a glimpse of his talent would suffice in shortened play). "You got the sense that you were involved in something a bit bigger than basketball," said Longley, who hadn't really gotten to know Jordan until early March, along with around half of the team

That Jordan turned down a deal involving two additional first-round picks, one of which is completely unprotected and owned by a fledgling franchise, is an absolutely puzzling and indefensible error. Kaminsky could be a valuable contributor for the Hornets next season, and certainly has the skill-set to emerge as an impactful third big man over the long-haul
24 years ago: Michael Jordan did the iconic switch of the hands - CBSSports.com
The casual manner in which he talked about some of his moves is always amusing because they were just regular decisions for him.The fun part about this time of year is we get these anniversaries to help us get through the off-days in the conference finals and NBA Finals.

The Bulls scorers of the day were Orlando Woolridge and Quintin Dailey, neither of whom much passed the ball and Dailey who pretty openly resented Jordan coming for his job. With payroll certainty after the league had been rocked in the 1960s and 1970s with the bidding war for players with the ABA, the league was able to stabilize and attract new investment

Larry Bird, following a playoff game where Jordan dropped 63 points on the Boston Celtics in just his second season, appraisal of the young player was: "God disguised as Michael Jordan. Although, a summary of his basketball career and influence on the game inevitably fails to do it justice, as a phenomenal athlete with a unique combination of fundamental soundness, grace, speed, power, artistry, improvisational ability and an unquenchable competitive desire, Jordan single-handedly redefined the NBA superstar
