Pretty good interview. He is an asshole. But not as big an asshole as Jordan. Maybe they do beat the Bulls if he doesn't have a fucked up wrist. Maybe they don't. But one thing for sure. Gordon beats St. Joe's if Paul Volpe doesn't miss that fucking free throw. |

Isiah is a sweet Westsider. He didn't have as much pull as he thinks he did. He should enjoy his 2 trophies. |

Considering what he and the Bulls did the following season, yeah I think its safe to say Jordan wasn't quite at the top of the his game when he was wearing 45.

But if you want to define Jordan as only winning 6 titles in 7 years then go ahead. I think that's still pretty good. |

Jordan gave the Pistons veteran all star team fits by himself. Isiah wants to pretend the teams were evenly matched. He's one of the greatest pound for pound players ever, but he shouldn't delude himself into believing he was in Jordan's class. A guy like Iverson knows his place. |

His point regarding having to "take care of Jordan" on the West Side might be valid however. Particularly during Jordan's earlier years in the NBA. Says a lot about Jordan that he never actually acknowledged it at any point during his dissing of Isiah. |

What Isiah said about Jordan's denigration of Jerry Krause also has merit too. Krause didn't deserve to be treated the way that he was by Jordan. No matter what you thought of him as a GM. |

If that’s true, he should have said it 37 years ago when people would’ve still believed it without skepticism. As for Detroit (aside from Dumars and Salley iiirc) skulking off, the Bulls won and I always thought it was the the sparkle in the victory champagne. Who cares. But it remains funny to me that fellow west sider Aguirre never caught hell for it. |

Jackson and Homan is walking distance from Chicago Stadium. and the United Center. And a person could have pissed from one of the windows of the Henry Horner Homes and or Rockwell Gardens and struck either stadium back then. And if you think Jordan was only hanging with people that you knew at Gibson's and the Chop House back in the mid 80's, then you are delusional. The gambling alone should have been a tip that he ran with quite a few guys from the street back then. Not that you'd ever hear about such a thing from Nike or the Channel 7 News back then. |

Maybe not his rookie year or year two rehabbing in Chapel Hill, but it’s not as true as the spin goes, Jordan was a regular at the Cotton Club and DeJoies for years. It’s how Juanita trapped his rube ass. |

I don’t know who was the most useless prick after 90-92, Crumbs or the chicken shit Sam Smith. |
