LOL and you think Chamillionare is lying about his hero telling him "I ain't takin' pictures with no *****" in the presence of Paul Pierce and Spike Lee? He has absolutely no reason to lie in that situation. Jordan being an azzhole is no surprise to anyone, this argument is meaningless.

The argument was that Jordan is not humble. And I still stand by what I say because you cannot come to a conclusion that he was a douche or azz just because he spoke his mind. For how great of a player he was, he had every right to tell people what was really going on. And yes, sometimes the truth can be spoken in a bitter way so many people took it offensively. It shouldn’t undermine the fact that he is still a humble person. That is my main point. He has given to countless charities, his composure on the court was better than most hot headed players play or have played in the league. (i.e. KG, Shaq) The only thing you guys keep bringing up is his celeb life, his life outside the court. One of the things I already addressed is his Hall of Fame speech, where he had every right to vent about his frustrations he kept throughout his career. It is much more harder than it looks to always be in the spotlight, with millions of people judging you, and not have something to say about it. Probably, one of the reasons he denied a photo. If you start to criticize every little thing a person says, and frame them as a “douche” or “asshole” just because of that than even Bono and Oprah would be considered an azz. LOL. You didn’t know the guy, so your assumptions are based off of articles, and other people’s opinions.

I love how much the Mavs suck with Lamar...I hope the Lakers are the ones to kick them out of the playoffs, that'll be almost as good as a championship for me
