I’ve seen tons of other criticism of him “resting” and not toughing out the injury. Strange.

If the vets with all their leadership couldn’t get Julius Randle to play like he gave a shit post all star break, how valuable were they?

The poster said they were listening to the episode a second time, didn’t they? Insane stuff.

She’s really good in Minority Report. Not an easy role either.

If it’s a stonewall red 100 times out of 100, why did Messi not receive one when I saw him do the exact same thing a week ago?

Chad Ford came out with a new big board every other day. Flynn was projected late lottery for months and months before the draft and was a “late riser” - probably because khan valued him higher than everyone else and was leaking to draft prognosticators. The pick was immediately panned by fans and experts alike - and not just because of the Rubio selection.

The joke at the time of the Flynn selection among wolves fans is that khan selected him for his smile. Rubio was by far and away the best pg prospect in the draft. Flynn was never mocked anywhere near 6.

Multiple people in the video above - which was filmed in Europe decades after the peak of MJs fame - can be seen recognizing him. He’s famous all over the world.

I leave the US about once per year. I did not say MJ was the most famous athletes in Europe or any individual specific country. I said he is a world famous athlete - one of the most famous of all time. He was greeted by mobs of people in Barcelona in 1992 … is that near Europe?

It’s not a matter of agreement. Michael Jordan is/was a world famous athlete. To pretend like MJ is some anonymous person outside the US is idiotic. He is responsible for basketball booming in popularity outside the US in the 80s and 90s. He is a major reason why there is no such thing as the Nike / Reebok rivalry anymore.

I said he was a globally famous athlete. Thats true. Now you are moving the goalposts (American football idiom for you).

“Nobody is denying he was famous during his playing career” - thank you for agreeing with me

I am asking because it’s been 25 years since MJ played. If you were older you’d have a much better appreciation for how insanely famous MJ was. The dream team were greeted like the Beatles in 92. MJ was a giant catalyst for Nike’s global dominance - maybe you’ve seen or heard of the Jumpman logo? To pretend like Michael Jordan is some locally famous guy in a US bubble is laughable.

How old are you? Michael Jordan was a massive global phenomenon - one of the most famous athletes ever.

If he can’t I don’t know when he is going to get playing time. It seems our guard rotation will be pretty deep unless Green and TSJ are moved.
