Really?Originally Posted by DaulDierce
So whats the reason? I cant get it in 1 brief sentence?
i know they were talking about the first comeback...but i was referring to the "fairy tale ending". MJ didn't have a fairy tale ending, he had a bad decision for the 2nd comeback, and now people are trashing his decisions as a ownerOriginally Posted by Kingtre
the comeback they are talking about is the 1st one...they let him back into the game to further cement his legacyOriginally Posted by blazinRook
he came back with the wizards, to what was considered a tragedy lol.Originally Posted by CharmCityKid
They are broadcasting a fairy tale and allowing Michael Jordan to live happily ever after at our expense.
he's back as an owner, which he's considered to be one of the worst lol.
No fairy tale, if he did his dirt, he paid by retiring.
the amount of money they posted he lost to gambling...is not even 1% of how much salary he made off endorsements per year.
I don't know what percentage would consider someone to have a problem, but less then 1% is really insignificant to
someone with that much $
(to people making $80k a year, thats like losing $800 in gambling lol)
and the whole money argument doesnt really make sense...your using a few instances they have here and yes its peanuts compared to what he made but theres also a bigger picture
1) this is just those people imagine how many others he lost to..not to mention AC/Vegas etc ...look at Antoine Walker...he made what 100mil...of course him playing $500 hands of black jack is no big deal on the micro level but look how he ended up
2) the money wasnt the issue...Jordan had/has the potential to get blank checks from endorsers and what not so he wasnt gonna go broke from gambling...it was about who he was associated with and what could happen...then if he was betting on basketball it would be a even bigger problem...the issue was never oh your gonna go broke...as we see the L doesnt care about that...look at the % of players who go broke during or shortly after their career
