Why jordon is a weenie and not a winner:
Answer: No. Bill Russell has nearly twice as many rings as Foolish jordon. Russell won 8 in a row and 11 in his 13 years. Magic Johnson won 5 championships playing in the more competitive NBA of the 1980s. That is why jordon never made the finals during the 80s.
In truth, it is Scottie Pippen who is responsible for the Bulls success. During his 3 years before Pippen joined the Bulls, jordon failed to lead the team to the second round of the playoffs or even post a winning record in the regular season, despite having teammates like Charles Oakley (top 2 rebounder), Orlando Woolridge (20 PPG scorer) and George Gervin (a member of the top 50 of all time). jordon is worth 2 wins to the team (proven also in this FAQ).
Pippen is the one who makes the Bulls win. This year, without Pippen during the early months, jordon went on record as saying the Bulls were playing like an "expansion team." jordon himself knows that Pippen is the man on the Bulls. That is why he wouldnt return this year unless the Bulls kept Pippen. Pippen does the work and ballhog jordon gets the glory. Having jordon on your team is the same as spotting the other team points. However, Pippen wins in spite of jordons albatross-like performances and cancerous activity to the team.
jordons "will to win" is as overrated as he is. Remember who retired after 3 titles? jordon. jordon grew bored with riding Pippens coattails. Bill Russell didnt grow tired of winning after a 3 peat, not even after 2 consecutive 3-peats, and even after his 9th title, or 10th.
Im sure jordon jockers will claim jordon's grieving was why he retired, but that just isnt true. You jordon jockers have been watching too much "Space Jam." At his retirement announcement (and perhaps Ill post the transcript, since I do have it on videotape), jordon was specifically asked if this is why he was retiring. Many times he denied it and said he was retiring because he "had nothing left to prove." Why did he return, if he has nothing left to prove? Money. Jordon is greedy. First, he tried to break up the players union out of greed, then he decided to steal over $30M/year from the Bulls. To jordon, winning means nothing, outside of a means for making more money, which he desires almost as much as gunning.
One last point about jordons "will to win": In game #5 of the 1996 NBA finals, jordon was coming off of a terrible game #4. He told his personal bootlicker, Ahmad Rashad, and his minions in the press that he would let his game speak for him. jordon had delusions of grandeur that he would dominate and be prophetic. However, jordon is not skilled, like Larry Bird, who on at least 2 occasions, told his opponents where he was going to take the game winning shot from, and proceeded to do it. Instead of jordon dominating in game #5, he sucked even more. See, Seattle figured out that Pippen, not jordon, needed to be double-teamed, and that jordon could shoot open shots, because he still bricks. "Mr. Winner" (Wiener) had a pathetic 4th quarter, scoring 2 points. Pippen and Kukoc grew weary of jordons foolish antics, that have cost them so dearly through the years, and started taking smart shots, trying to come back and win the game. jordon, was furious that his "supporting cast," as he once arrogantly referred to them by, was insolent and wasnt letting him bask in the personal glory of scoring a lot of points, so the press could say "jordon tried to carry the team on his back." jordon proceeded to scream at his teammates for taking smart shots and trying to win the game, instead of letting him pad his 4th quarter stats. That spoke VOLUMES about his game, not to mention his priorities. Its amazing that jordon didnt send these guys packing, like he did B.J. Armstrong and Doug Collins, when they didnt serve jordons every whim. However, jordon knows he needs these guys to win, so he can get the undeserved credit for winning. jordon was somewhat prophetic in that his game did speak for him. Unfortunately for jordon and his jockers, it said "jordon is not a team player. He is a selfish ballhog and a has-been, as well."
Answer: No. jordon played in the 1994-95 season and the Bulls did not win the title. They would still be going for their 3rd consecutive. For the Bulls to win, they need the following:
Pippen: the do-everything superstar who makes the Bulls better.
A very good rebounding power forward Dennis Rodman or Horace Grant. jordon did not have this in 1995, and Orlando crushed the Bulls in the playoffs. This need is especially important when jordon is on the team, because somebody needs to rebound jordons many bricks.
How can you say that jordon is only worth 2 wins to the Bulls?
Easy. The year before jordon retired, the Bulls were 57-25. In the first year of jordon's retirement, with basically the same team, they were 55-27. 57 - 55 = 2. If jordon was so valuable to the Bulls, you would think the Bulls would struggle without him, like the Lakers did when Magic retired, or the Celtics did in 1989, when Larry Bird only played 6 games -- despite having 2 top-50 players (Parish & McHale), a former playoff MVP (Dennis Johnson), Reggie Lewis and Danny Ainge (for part of the season), they slipped 15 games and couldn't even win half of their games without Bird (who played the first 6).
If jordon is only worth 2 wins, why did they struggle so badly before he returned?
Because Horace Grant left the team after 1994. He, not jordon, was a key to the Bulls' formula for winning. jordon is irrelevant to the Bulls formula for winning. After Grant left, the Bulls spent half a year trying to find team chemistry, and they found it in March and was on an incredible winning tear, when jordon came back in a vain attempt to hog the glory, but instead, ballhogged them to defeat in his first game back vs. Indiana.
If Pippen is so great, why couldnt he win without jordon in 1993-94?
Answer: 2 words: Hue Hollins. jordon could have tackled Hubert Davis at the end of game 5 and the jordon-jocking refs wouldnt have called a foul. (Need proof? Look at the jordon no-call at the end of the game 4 vs. Charlotte in 1995). However, unlike jordon, Pippen doesnt control David Stern, who in turn controls the outcome of the games through the officials. The league would profit more by having the big media-city New York go to the finals than the jordon-less Bulls. If jordon had not been so selfish, and had chosen to retire before the draft, instead of before the start of camp, the Bulls could have drafted a shooting guard, or better yet, picked up somebody like Kevin Edwards, who though unspectacular, would certainly have been better than a CBA-journeyman like Pete Myers. Edwards certainly would have been able to make up the 1 point the Bulls lost by in the 5th game.
Why did the Bulls win 72 games in 1995-96 if jordon is so bad?
Answer: As I stated before, jordon is worth 2 wins. Without Horace Grant, the "almighty" jordon was not able to win the title in 1995. The Bulls set out to acquire a rebounding power forward to gather jordon's many bricks and correct the mistakes of jordon the albatross. The Bulls added a rebounder and a winner (2 titles) in Dennis Rodman, and they went from an "also ran" to the premiere team in basketball. The next year, they slipped 3 games, but without Pippen this year, they swan-dived to the level of what jordon himself called "an expansion team." jordon is dead weight. If, instead of jordon, the Bulls had a legitimate star in their backcourt, like Mitch Richmond, Allen Iverson, Reggie Miller, or Super John Starks, the Bulls would have probably won 78-80 games in 1995-96.
How can you say that jordon is the biggest choker ever?
According to a jordon-jocking website, jordon has slopped in 25 shots at the buzzer. This is proof that if you chuck it enough, it will sometimes find it's way in! Remember the Nike commercial that jordon had last year? You know -- "I fail over and over and over". According to jordon, he has bricked 28 shots when his teammates "counted on him to win the game" (actually, praying that he would pass it to them, so they wouldn't lose). Shortly after, he fired an airball vs. New Jersey at the buzzer for #29. Against Indiana in Game 4 of the 1998 Eastern Conference finals, jordon chucked up #30, and then in game #5 vs. Utah, he airballed #31. This means more often than not, jordon chokes when the game is on the line. The stats speak! jordon is no Bird; jordon is no Magic; and Jerry West's official title of "Mr. Clutch" is in no danger of being taken by jordon, a.k.a. "Mr. Choke."
How can you say that jordon is the biggest loser of all time?
Recently, I saw the poster from jordon's Nike commercial where jordon admits his own foolishness. On the poster it says, "I have lost over 200 games in my career. Note, not "we", but "I". jordon, SINGLEHANDEDLY is responsiblefor OVER 200 losses. What a cancer! This is approximately 51% of the losses, which can be attributed soley to jordon! Just think, in 1996, jordon was singlehandedly responsible for about half of the 10 losses. That means that without jordon, the Bulls would have only lost 5 games. They would be 77-5. In 1984-85, the Bulls finished 38-44. I prove earlier that jordon is only worth 2 wins. jordon is also the cause of half the losses, so without jordon, the record would be 36-22 (or 51-31 over the course of an 82 game season). This proves that jordon is the single biggest loser in history!
Why jordon is NOT the greatest of all time:
It is obvious you dont like the Bulls and want to spew venom toward the greatest player in history.
Answer: I have said nothing bad about Wilt Chamberlain, and if I supposedly hate the Bulls, then why have I said so many complimentary things about Pippen? I have nothing against foolish and wretched jordon. I prove this in my review of his restaurant. I just dont like the excessive hype the media gives him as the greatest player ever. This FAQ would be unnecessary, if you give the man his due and call him what he really is: an o.k. player to sit on the end of the bench and hustle in practice.
You say Wilt Chamberlain is the greatest player of all-time. Wilt was a 7-foot player back when there were few 7-foot players playing. If Michael jordon were playing back then, he would average 50 PPG also.
Answer: Funny, but I dont remember jordon being 7 foot. I thought he was 66". This logic is contradictory. jordon could NOT average 50 PPG back in the 60s. He wouldnt have his jordon-jocking refs giving him preferential treatment. He wouldnt have well-defined zone rules. He wouldnt have hand-checking rules, and he wouldnt have flagrant foul rules, nor his chartered planes, first class hotels, specialist/trainers, and "Air jordons" (ever play in Chuck Taylors?). jordon couldnt make the NBA back in the more competitive and more physical 1960s, and furthermore, he would struggle to make an ABA team.
How can you prove that Wilt Chamberlain is better than jordon?
Answer: Other than the fact that he is the greatest offensive player in history, and the only player to average 50 PPG and 40 PPG in a season? The fact that he is the greatest rebounder in history, and the only center to lead the league in assists? (This is something jordon could never DREAM of doing jordon would beat Wilts single season rebounding record (27.2 per game) before he passed up that many shots!) Wilt also holds the record for highest FG% in a season (72.7%) and is the only player to have a "triple 20": 20+ rebounds, assists, and points in a game.
Besides all of this, SuperKnicksFan derived a statistical system for comparing players to Foolish jordon. It is called Power Points TM . The formula for Power Points is:
Power Points TM = (Rebounds + Blocks + Steals + Assists) / games
Players with higher power points are team players and defenders. For players who played most of their careers before 1974 (when blocks and steals were recorded), you must use Partial Power Points TM. The equation for Partial Power Points is:
Partial Power Points TM = (rebounds + assists) / games.
(Note: Power Points and Partial Power Points may only be used to compare players to Foolish jordon).
Using this powerful statistical measure, it is easy to see that Wilt (27.3 partial Power Points) is clearly better than Foolish jordon ( 11.76 Partial Power Points).
How can you say that jordon did not deserve to be named to the top 50 players of all-time?
Using the powerful statistical systems listed above, I have easily found 50 players with more power points than Foolish jordon. This is conclusive proof that jordon did not deserve to be in the top 50 players of all time. This doesn't mean that these 50 are necessarily the 50 best of all time, but they deserve to make the top 50 ahead of jordon. The list is not complete, but it does include the following players:
Name | Power Points (jordon = 15.16) |
1. Wilt Chamberlain | 27.3* |
2. Bill Russell | 26.8* |
3. Maurice Stokes | 22.6* |
4. Magic Johnson | 20.6 |

34. Julius Erving | 16.2 |
35. Dennis Rodman | 16.1 |
36. Moses Malone | 15.9 |
37. Derrick Coleman | 15.9 |
* = This a players partial power points. He is so much more powerful than jordon, that even without steals and blocks, he is a much better defender and team player than Foolish jordon...for a closer comparison, compare those numbers to jordon's partial power points).
Name | Partial Power Points (jordon = 11.76) |
38. Gus Johnson | 15.4 |
39. Dolph Schayes | 15.2 |
40. Bill Bridges | 14.7 |
41. Dave DeBusschere | 13.9 |
42. Donald Johnson | 13.8 |
43. Harry Galatin | 13.7 |
44. Gerald Goven | 13.7 |
45. Johnny Kerr | 13.4 |
46. Alex Groza | 13.1 |
47. Connie Hawkins | 13.0 |
48. Jim Lison | 13.0 |
49. Jim Lison | 12.9 |
50. Bob Cousy | 12.7 |
Note: ABA numbers are included. The ABA did water down the talent pool somewhat, but not as badly as the leagues talent is watered down today. Also, I am not claiming this is the list of the 50 best players of all-time. Power Points can only be used to compare other players to jordon. This list only proves that there are at least 50 players better than jordon, and that they all deserved the top 50 of all-time ahead of jordon. Finally, all numbers are current through February 12, 1998.
Why isn't scoring factored into Power PointsTM ?
Answer: Because scoring is not powerful. As Charles Barkley so eloquently put it, "Any knucklehead can score. All you have to do is shoot a lot. It takes brains to rebound." Remember, more power points means a player is a better defender and better team player. Gunning accomplishes neither: it does not make a player a better defender (although some jordon jockers have tried to argue that it does), nor does it make a player a better team player, since it usually makes your teammates mad.
If Magic is better than jordon, why did the Bulls beat Lakers in the 1991 finals?
Answer: You just answered your own question. The Bulls beat the Lakers. Yes, the jordon jockers at NBC tried to hype it as "Magic vs. Michael," but that was a farce. Basketball is STILL a team game (even when jordon is on your team the rest of the players have to play THAT much better like a team to make up for him). Furthermore,, Magic did not guard jordon, because he was defending better offensive threats on the Bulls, and after jordon got spanked trying to guard Magic in game #1, he no longer guarded Magic.
Before the finals, James Worthy severely sprained his ankle against the Portland Trailblazers. After game 1, which the Lakers won, BTW, Worthys minutes were limited. This allowed the Bulls to put Scottie Pippen on Magic Johnson, since Foolish jordon got torched by him in the game 1 Lakers win. Had Worthy not been injured, and Phil Jackson tried this, he would have had to put jordon or John Paxson guard on 6'9" Worthy or 6'8" A.C. Green. None of these match-ups were favorable. Furthermore, during the series, Byron Scott suffered a shoulder injury and missed game #5. In the game #5 finale, Magic was teamed up with 2nd year Vlade Divac, rookie Elden Campbell, Sam Perkins, Terry Teagle, and Tony Smith.
Why has Dr. Jack Ramsey said that jordon is better than Wilt, and jordon is the greatest player of all time?
Answer: Dr. Jack is a fool. He was the same "genius" who engineered the trade of Wilt Chamberlain to the Lakers for Archie Clark, Darrell Imhoff, and Jerry Chambers. Then, in another stroke of Donald Sterling-inspired genius, he traded Chet Walker to the Bulls for scraps. Dr. Jack traded 2 starters from a team that averaged 65 wins per year over the previous 2 seasons. The Sixers started a downward spiral from there. Ramsey thought using a small, mobile lineup (the same system he succeeded with in college) would result in more wins than with Wilt. Dr. Jack was wrong. Therefore, he has to try and put down Wilt in order to save face, lest he be asked troubling question about his decision to trade Wilt.
As for his Portland "genius", it comes down to 2 words: Bill Walton. Look at how they fared without Walton: In 1978, they were 50-10 with Walton and 8-14 without him. Then, they never won more than 48 games in any season without Walton, under Dr. Jack.. For such a "legend", it seems Dr. Jack CAN'T win without a big man, and he traded the greatest one of all time! [Note that when the Blazers lost Walton, you didn't see a 2 game drop-off, like the Bulls without jordon. Note that Bill Walton has more Power PointsTM than jordon. It is no coincidence. Walton was a valuable, indispensable team player, and not a foolish, dead weight, self-centered, glory-seeking ballhog like jordon.] Dr. Jack obviously couldnt handle the funny cigarettes that he borrowed from Walton.
Why has Bob Cousy said that jordon is better than Wilt?
Answer: jealousy and money. The year before Wilt joined the league (in 1959), guess who was the highest paid player in the league? Yep, Cousy. Guess who became the 2nd highest paid player in the league after Wilt joined. Yep, Cousy, again. When Wilt contemplated retiring his rookie year and becoming a track athlete, because he grew tired of the refs allowing his opponents to physically abuse him (opposite of jordon), guess who said Wilt should retire and that the league would be better off without him? Yep, Cousy. See the jealousy angle? Now, why would he jock jordon? Cousy makes a pension. When the league succeeds, guess whom also wins? Yep, Cousy. Guess who brings money to the league (and Cousy) from the circus-like, WWF, atmosphere the league has used to market itself? No, not Cousy, but rather jordon. (Im sure there are some jordon jockers, who cant figure out where this is going). So when Cousy jocks jordon, he brings himself money. Kind of like, "When you dis Dre, you dis yourself", except "When he jocks jordon, he jocks himself." Don't get me wrong: Cousy was a great player, and he is better than jordon (see the list of 50), but Cousy wasnt exactly the greatest evaluator of talent, as his coaching performance in Cincinnati proved. (Well, he did help Milwaukee win a title, by giving them Oscar Robertson.)
Isnt jordon the greatest athlete of all time?
Answer: Ha! Surely you jest. Have you forgot about Jim Thorpe, Jackie Joyner-Kersey, or any of the countless other athletes to compete in sports? Take Wilt Chamberlain, for instance: He won the NCAA national champion in the shot put and the Big 8 champion in the high jump. His vertical leap was supposedly around 50 inches, and this coming from a 7-foot man! At Philadelphia, he beat everyone on the team in sprints, including Al Attles. Also, he is the strongest man to ever play basketball. After retiring from basketball at the age of 36 (after leading the league in rebounds and FG%, and being named 1st team all-defense), he went on to become a successful racquetball players and international volleyball player. NBA teams were offering him contracts to return as late as 1986, when he was 49 years old! Now, I am not neccessarily saying that Wilt is the greatest athlete in history, but he is certainly ahead of jordon, who has proven little athletically. jordon was a miserable failure in baseball, and the only other sport he has had moderate success in is golf: a sport not known for its athletic endeavors. Furthermore, I would not be surprised if jordon cheats in golf, like he does in basketball, taking unlimited mulligans, improving his lie, grounding his club in the sand, etc.)
jordons dunk championships were as fabricated as his inflated scoring, thanks to biased officiating. jordon received a "50" for a dunk in which he couldnt even take off from the free throw line. Sad. He could have missed that dunk, and he still would have received a 50. In 1990, Scottie Pippen took off well behind the free throw line and received a "46" for it, and Pippen, unlike jordon, had grace in flair in mid-air, whereas jordon looked like a quail that had been shot.
Why jordon is a 1-dimensional Ballhog:
Doesnt jordon make those around him better?
Answer: No! B.J. Armstrong and Horace Grant werent able to make the all-star team until jordon retired. Pippen had his finest year without jordon. With defenses no longer supposedly focusing on wretched jordon, but rather, focusing on Pippen instead, people (including myself) expected Pippen and Grant's field goal percentages to suffer. However, they improved it over his previous season (1992-93). Without jordon screaming at them to pass up open shots (so that jordon can pad his stats) their numbers looked even better. Then the next year (1994-95), Pippen led the Bulls in points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks. Only one other person in history has matched that accomplishment (Dave Cowens). However, Pippen wasnt even considered for the MVP, because Foolish jordon came back--hogging the spotlight, and ballhogging (at a 41% clip) the team right out of the playoffs. Thanks to jordon, many fine ballplayers have come to Chicago, only to find their careers plummet, like Dennis Hopson, Rodney McCray, Cliff Levingston, Bobby Hansen, and Ron Harper.
How can you call jordon a ballhog, and not Wilt, who averaged 50 PPG one
season, won 7 scoring titles of his own, and even had a 100-point game?Answer: There is nothing wrong with scoring. It is part of the game. However, it isnt the only thing. A truly great player is complete. He does many things well, and doesnt focus on gunning. jordon is not a truly great player. The statistical proof lies with Ballhog Points TM. Ballhog points are a statistical system used to determine if a player is a 1-dimensional ballhog. It compares gunning against the other aspects of the game that a complete player excels in. The equation is:
Ballhog points TM = [FGA + (fta/2)] / Power Points TM
If a players Ballhog Points, exceeds the square root of Pi, (1.77) then that player is a 1-dimensional ballhog. If he does not exceed this number, he is not a one-dimensional ballhog. (Click here to see the derivation of 1.77.) Now, there are a few things to keep in mind when using this:
This system is not a measure for comparing another player to jordon. That is what Power Points TM are for. This statistic only determines whether or not a player is a one-dimensional ballhog.
The more games you use, the more accurate your results will be. For instance, if you took a time increment of 5 seconds, or 0.001736 games, you could prove Dennis Rodman was a 1-dimensional ballhog--if your time increment caught him shooting, missing, getting an offensive rebounding and putting it back in (ballhog points = 2.0). Career numbers are better to use, because they give you more data points.
This statistic answers only a "yes/no" question of ballhoggediness. Not "how ballhoggedy" a player is or "how close to being a ballhog" a player is. Think of it like a pregnancy test: If you are 3 months pregnant or 1 month, the result is "pregnant." Also, the test wont show that a person was "close to being pregnant." This very simple concept is very difficult for many jordon jockers to grasp. Possibly perhaps because most jordon jockers are "jordon virgins" who have taken a vow to remain celibate for jordon, until he chooses to take their virginity, like he takes their money with his Foolish jordon clothes.
With that said, I used this powerful statistical measure to analyze jordon and other prolific scorers in the league. The results are:
Name | Ballhog Points | Ballhog? (>1.77) |
Michael jordon | 1.83 | Yes |
Shareef Abdur-Rahim | 1.68 | No |
Allen Iverson | 1.62 | No |
Karl Malone | 1.41 | No |
Antoine Walker | 1.36 | No |
Shaquille ONeal | 1.27 | No |
David Robinson | 1.11 | No |
Kobe Bryant | 1.84 | Yes |
Hmmm and I notice Kobe is often called "the next jordon." This maybe true.
Now, with players, who played before 1974, you use Partial Ballhog PointsTM, which looks exactly like Ballhog Points, except you replace "Power Points" with "Partial Power Points." Partial Ballhog points is higher, since the denominator is lower. I have not concluded my calculations to determine what number of Partial Ballhog points constitutes a Ballhog, but it appears the number is around 2.5. Nevertheless, Wilts Ballhog Points are well below this, as well as the Ballhog Point number or 1.77.
Name | Partial Ballhog Points | Ballhog? (> ~2.5) |
Wilt Chamberlain | 1.05 | No |
Oscar Robertson | 1.37 | No |
Elgin Baylor | 1.58 | No |
Bob Petitt | 1.38 | No |
Dolph Schayes | 1.28 | No |
Connie Hawkins | 1.34 | No |

Note: You may not use Partial Ballhog Points for players who joined the league after 1974. Like I said, the more data available, the more accurate your results, and having blocks and steals data only makes your calculations more accurate. If the stats were kept before 1974, it would make these players Ballhog Points even LOWER.
Furthermore, if you calculate the Ballhog Points/Partial Ballhog points of every player on my list of 50, you will find that NONE of them are ballhogs. This is true greatness: complete great players who did more than live for gunning, like jordon the ballhog.
So, in conclusion, the long answer to a short question is: jordon is a ballhog and Wilt was not.
Why did jordon fire Doug Collins?
Answer: In 1989, the Bulls, thanks to jordons foolishness, had dug themselves into a hole and were on the verge of missing the playoffs, something they had not done since 1983. The team had been improving, since they traded for Scottie Pippen, by actually getting to the 2nd round of the playoffs, something Foolish jordon could not do, despite having teammates like Gervin, Oakley, and Orlando Woolridge. Just when Chicagos hopes seemed their dimmest, their bright young coach, Doug Collins, realized that jordons foolishness was costing the team wins. As a result, in a controversial move that has been hailed as "brilliant and enlightened" by some and "professional suicide" by others, he moved jordon to point guard and he told jordon that he wanted jordon to quit hogging the ball, and pass the ball to the better shooters on the team, guys like John Paxson, Craig Hodges, Pippen, Grant, Bill Cartwright, and Dave Corazine. jordon balked, but when Collins threatened to bench him, and put Sam Vincent at the point guard (which Collins wanted to do, but at which management certainly would have balked), jordon obliged. The result? Chicago started winning. jordon had 11 triple-doubles in 13 games (A sub-13 games for a great like Oscar Robertson, but still respectable, especially for a fool like jordon). Chicago grabbed the 6th playoff spot, due to a late-season surge. From there, the "experts" who were slowly traveling down the dark path of jordon-jocking, thought the Bulls were a one-man team (and they thought the one man was jordon), and would be swept by the mighty Cleveland Cavaliers, who Magic Johnson had called "the team of the 90s." Instead, Chicago pulled a miraculous upset. But just to prove this wasnt a fluke, like Golden States win over San Antonio in 1991, they went on to upset the 2nd seeded New York Knicks, under the leadership of Rick Pitino. Then, when they met the team that would go on to win the championship, the Detroit Pistons, the Bulls stole game 1 at the Palace and took 2 out of 3, before jordon decided that he should revert back to his ballhogging ways, and Detroit won 3 straight.
Now, a coach who guides a team in such a direction, is usually rewarded with a contract extension and praise. However, jordon saw to it that Collins was shipped out on the first train leaving Chicago, since Collins showed "insolence" by asking jordon to put the team ahead of him, even though Collins proved his point.
The chart below demonstrates my point. As you can see, right before Doug Collins took over as head coach, jordon's Power Points were declining and his Ballhog Points were increasing. As soon as Collins took over, jordon became a more powerful player. His Ballhog Points decreased and his Power Points increased. Collins was actually turning jordon into a team player and a superstar. As a result, the Bulls started winning more. Their 1989 playoff run was as close as they ever got to winning a championship, up to that point, and this was before the expansion of the league was watering down it's talent level (the expansion draft of 1989, combined with Charlotte and Miami's high draft places started the watering down process).
jordon was not interested in being a complete player, or winning games. He only wanted to hog the ball. He had Collins fired and replaced with Phil Jackson, a jordon "yes man" (it is no coincidence that jordon said he wouldn't return this season unless Phil came back. jordon feared a coach who wouldn't let him hog the ball). After Jackson took over, well, you can see the trend forming: increasing Ballhog Points and decreasing Power Points. Even NBA.com's biography of Phil the Phool acknowledges that jordon hogs the ball whenever he wants! jordon went from a quality player, under Collins, to an overrated, 1-dimensional ballhog, under Jackson. This really isn't Phil's fault. If he opposes jordon, he would be fired, like Collins. Furthermore, thanks to the watering-down of the league, he is able to get the other Bulls to pull together and win titles, in spite of jordon's attempts to torpedo the team with his albatrossedy ways.
Answer: Yet another bogus accomplishment of jordons, just like his dunk contest titles. The coaches submit their selections to the league office, and jordons pawn, Stern, changes the votes. Look at 1996 and 1997 as examples: In 1997, Allen Iverson, the superb point guard for the Philadelphia Sixers torched Foolish jordon. Then, he got in jordons face and told him that he did not respect jordon. (As a result, jordon used his media empire to smear Iversons good name). Now supposedly, when you make jordon mad, he abuses you, yet Iverson kept torching Foolish jordon over and over. Then, he publicly humiliated the no-defense fool with his wicked crossover. You can see the video clip on the home page. I dont recall any rookies ever getting in Wilts face and mocking him. The reason Iverson doesnt respect jordon is because jordon is a fool who hasnt proven he deserves any respect.
Then, Pooh Richardson torched jordon for 18 points in 3 quarters. Iverson is understandable, since he is the finest young point guard talent since Oscar Robertson, but Richardson? A guy who wasnt voted a playoff share by his teammates in Indiana, because of his non-contributions? In the 4th quarter, Phil Jackson wisely put Ron Harper on Richardson, and tried to hide jordon in the Chicago zone. After the game, jordon the hypocrite, publicly ripped Dennis Rodman for Rodmans supposed lack of defense on Loy Vaught (I think Rodman held Vaught to 14 points in 4 quarters), and didnt want to talk about his own inability to guard a low-quality guard.
Damon Stoudamire is yet another guard to humiliate jordon. jordon jockers try to say that Stoudamire and Iverson are quick, and should give "all-world defense" jordon problems (while failing to realize their contradiction). Yet, Phil opted to put Scottie Pippen, a FORWARD, on jordons man. That says volumes about Pippens amazing defense and jordons lack of it.
Then, this year, Reggie Miller, was driving on a fast break and faked jordon out of his jock, and drove by and stuffed it. The he torched jordon over and over in the 1998 Eastern Conference Finals (when Phil wasn't trying to hide jordon on Travis Best -- and Best was torching Foolish jordon). And, as I mentioned before, Magic torched jordon so badly, that Phil had to put Pippen on him, in the 1991 finals. It appears that the following type of guards is too difficult for jordon to defend:
1. Small, quick guards
2. Big, stocky, old, slower, guards
3. Slightly taller, slower guards
Or as I like to say: Point guards and shooting guards.
jordon jockers say that Phils often-used game plan of putting Ron Harper on the tougher offensive guard is to "save jordon for offense." Is that rationalization? I dont remember Walt Frazier using that excuse. What that tells me is jordon isnt even the best defensive guard on his own team, yet he, and not Harper is making the all-defense team? Does anybody else smell a rat? Do you REALLY believe that Johnny Davis voted jordon all-defense, after seeing Iverson torch jordon time and time again? How about Pooh Richardsons coach, Bill Fitch, who only saw jordon play twice that year? Or how about SuperKnicks coach Jeff Van Gundy, who doesnt even LIKE jordon, and knows jordon is a 1-dimensional ballhog (like I said, Knick fans are the most intelligent in basketball, so their coach is all the more intelligent). In 1997, jordon was supposedly a UNANIMOUS selection by the coaches (minus Phil, who cant vote for his own guy). In light of all of this, its easy to see that Stern has his evil jordon-jocking hand in all of this.
Miscellaneous Points about jordon's foolishness:
Why do you make fun of jordon? Hes a nice guy.
Answer: I do not make fun of jordon. I simply point out his foolishness. I am the equal time for those who are sick to their stomachs of all the jordon jocking done by the National Bulls Company (NBC) and jordons personal butt-kisser, Ahmad Rashad (WHAT does a football player know about basketball?). jordon is so foolish, that NBC had to hire idiots like Hannah Storm, Rashad, Peter Vescey, Bob Costas, and Bill Walton to jock jordon, because those with a brain would not say such jordon jocking drivel. That is why Dr. J left, because he admitted that the 1996 Bulls were far from the greatest team of all-time, and the higher ups at NBC gnashed their collective teeth. Dr. J could have went out in his suit, and schooled Foolish jordon, even as an old man.
Furthermore, jordon is not a "nice guy." He belittles his excellent teammates, calling them "my supporting cast", because he is vain and self-centered. As I have proven, jordon is an end-of-the-bench caliber player who is an anchor to the Bulls hopes of staying afloat for the championship. The "supporting cast" wins in SPITE of jordon, yet he foolishly takes all of the credit. Even when they won the title in 1996, jordon foolishly fell down in the ground, in his fetal position and hogged the ball, afraid that somebody would try and take it away from him.
jordon is also a hypocrite! He has went on record as saying the regular season is meaningless, yet after his 1996 Bulls won the title and he was asked if they are the greatest team of all-time, he said, "How many other teams won 72 games?" What is especially funny is that Dennis Rodman said that Bulls team could not win 70 games playing against 80s teams, because Rodman, played on the best team of the late 80s and KNOWS the current league is watered down. Why did jordon bring up the "meaningless" regular season? Because they were so terrible in the playoffs. How does a team that only loses 10 games all year lose 3 in the playoffsespecially when the caliber of teams was so poor? The Knicks were rebuilding for the summer free agent bonanza, yet took a game. The Magic were injured (Horace Grant, Brian Shaw), and the Sonics were without their team captain (Nate McMillan), yet the Bulls choked on 3-0 lead before getting back to Chicago and their jordon-jocking refs. The greatest teams of all time (1983 Sixers) bested this playoff winning percentage, even though they played tougher teams!
Another example of jordons well-documented hypocrisy occurred this season. When Pippen announced he would not return to play for the Bulls because he grew tired of jordon taking credit for Pippens hard work, jordon said that Pippen was letting down the team. Gee, who let down the team in 1993? jordon. Like I said, had jordon decided he had "nothing left to prove" right after winning the title, the Bulls could have tried to get a decent replacement. However, jordon knows his own foolishness all too well, and he knew if they acquired a decent shooting guard, like Kevin Edwards, that the Bulls would have won more games and a title, and everybody would have realized how overrated jordon is. jordon sought to make things as difficult as he could for the Bulls.
Finally, jordon is a thug. You saw him throw the ball at Mark Jackson's head because Jackson was putting the glove all over him! In his return game from retirement, he couldnt buy a basket against Reggie Miller, and Miller was torching him on the other end, so jordon cheap shotted him with a knee to the thigh, causing Miller to have to leave the game! jordon the thug is the reason that the Bad Boys and the Riley Knicks got such a tough image: they had to defend themselves against jordon!
Answer: Yes. Marv wasnt a good jordon jocker. See, Marv, unlike the other employees of the National Bulls Company, had a brain. Marv grew up watching the SuperKnicks, and as conventional wisdom has told us, the SuperKnicks fans are the most intelligent in all of basketball. Marv was no exception. He wouldnt get on TV and jock jordon and kiss his butt. jordon and his minions at NBC wanted to run him off, yet they didnt want a revolt, from those who liked to see an intelligent counter-point against Walton's, Vescey's, Storm's, etc jordon jocking, so they ran a smear campaign using somebody who jordon handsomely paid off. Marv wearing womens underwear? I think not. Who endorses underwear? jordon. Those who followed the "trial" (circus) saw that jordon had paid the judge to allow malicious lies from bogus sources, without allowing Marv to adequately defend himself. Im surprised jordon himself wasnt sitting in the judges seat saying, "Off with his head!" Even Perry Mason couldnt have defended Marv against this conspiracy.
Did David Stern suspend jordon 1-1/2 years for gambling?
Answer: You CANT be serious! This is the most ridiculous conspiracy theory I have ever heard! Even Mel Gibson wouldnt touch this one with a 10-foot pole! David Stern is still commissioner of the NBA, isnt he? If he suspended jordon (which he SHOULD have done jordons many grievances make Latrell Sprewell look like Mother Teresa), jordon would have simply removed him from office and replaced him with a different "yes man." Perhaps Ahmad Rashad would have been commissioner. A former football player (Rashad) is about as qualified to be commissioner (or work televised basketball games, for that matter) as a former lawyer (Stern).
Why did jordon choose to play baseball?
jordon saw the state of baseball was in terrible shape and he saw it as a chance to take over baseball and add it to his portfolio. jordon is so vain that he actually BELIEVES he is a great basketball player. He once said, "When I have the ball, you are at my mercy." This, evidently doesn't apply to Dog Crusty (Doug Christy), who held jordon scoreless for the 2nd half in Raptor victory over the Bulls, despite jordon's ballhogging. What jordon SHOULD have said, "When I have the ball, I would be at YOUR mercy, if not for the referee, who I control.". jordons delusional state of mind had him believing that he could star in baseball like he does in basketball. What he didnt realize is that baseball cant even figure out who should be commissioner, let alone having one that jordon can control. Also, the umpires in baseball arent a bunch of jordon jockers, and couldnt justify calling a pitch thrown right down the middle to jordon a "ball" (whereas the NBA officials would have no problem making such terrible, biased calls). jordons foolishness was quickly exposed, as the wretch couldnt BUY (literally) a hit in spring training, and he was quickly sent to the minor leagues, where his money couldnt buy him stardom down there, either. This is the same type of results you would see in the NBA if jordon didnt control the commissioner and the refs. You would see him brick shot after shot (like he currently does) and NOT go to the free throw line, since nobody guards him, let alone fouls him. jordon would be sent too the CBA and would suck there also.
After toiling in futility and realizing that all of his money couldnt hide his exposed foolishness, jordon went back to the league he controls, in order to expose (and cover) his foolishness there, as well. In his first game, the refs felt no loyalty to jordon, since he hadnt paid them for 1-1/2 years, and you saw that when they officiated a fair game, jordon sucked and couldnt buy a basket, even against Reggie Miller. Jordon did cheap shot Miller, though, and got away with it, but it still wasnt enough to lead the Bulls to victory, because Millers backup kept right on exposing jordons foolishness. For the rest of that season, the refs were hesitant to play favorites with jordon, because they wasnt sure if he was there to stay, and as a result, in his most honest season (least amount of favoritism from the refs), jordon bricked his way to a 41%-shooting season.
Back to FAQ listWhy did jordon lock out the players? Back to FAQ list
Why do you call jordon's fans "cockroaches?"
This came from a very wise individual named Pinhead who used the phrase to describe Shaq bashers. Since most Shaq bashers were also jordon jockers (or at least shared the same inability to recognize basketball talent), the phrase also got attatched to jordon jockers. Why Pinhead chose the phrase is unknown, but it is accurate. jordon jockers are annoying and they seem to multiply every year. They run from the light of truth (they are not able to stand firm in an intellectual debate, preferring to use personal attacks and then dissapear from usenet) and their stupid posts closely resemble roach droppings.
Back to FAQ listWhy do you spell his name "jordon?"
This comes from Johnny Kerr, the Bulls' play-by-play man who spells it "jordon" in his book "Bull Session" (page 37, see jordon library). Some suspect that this is supposed to represent "jor-done", referencing jordon the has-been, since he has declined so drastically since 1989. However, that isn't fair. jordon was great in 1989 because Doug Collins, the coaching genius had managed to coach incredible play from jordon's limited abilities. Others suspect that jordon runs the NBA like a mafia boss, hence the "don," but actually, it comes from Johnny Kerr, who obviously knows how to spell jordon's name, since he has witnessed more jordon games than just about anybody else on the planet.

jordon's role as mastermind behind the Clinton-Lewinski scandal
[Note: I am not a registered Democrat or Republican. I am a registered voter, but have no party affiliation. However, I do recognize jordon's evil work and can sympathize with a man who has been set-up by jordon (no matter what his party affiliation). This keeps me open-minded, impartial, and fair when judging events. I use the same open-minded approach when dealing with jordon, and I dont let his wretchedness or foolishness sway my opinion of him.]
Has jordon ever stood up to a president before?
Yes. Remember in 1991 when the Bulls were invited to the White House after they won the championship? jordon not only stood up to a president, he stood up the president. jordon stayed at home, in an act of defiance. President Bush wisely did not condemn jordon, because he didn't want to be crucified by the jordon-jocking press with an election coming up.
Furthermore, not long after that, Magic Johnson was named to President Bush's council on AIDS. jordon did not like other players receiving more publicity than himself, so jordon commanded President Bush to remove Magic from the panel, and President Bush complied.
Does jordon control the media?
Yes. In their first meeting, Allen Iverson said he did not respect Foolish jordon. He proved his point by torching Foolish jordon. However, the jordon-jocking press began a year-long smear campaign and painted Iverson out to be a gangster and a criminal, even though Iverson was correct in his assessment. Foolish jordon is not worthy of respect, as Iverson proved by outscoring Foolish jordon in their duels for the season. Twice he humiliated jordon with his powerful and handsome crossover move. (Click here to see the video). Iverson went on to say that he doesn't respect his opponents on the floor, because he doesn't want to give them an advantage. This is the statement of a confident leader and a wise individual. While most people agreed with the statement, they still tried to call him a gangster and a criminal, looking for any excuse, such as his hair style or the length of his shorts. Even though most of the white middle/upper-class American's aren't gang-bangers, they still seem to think that they are experts on the gangsta culture. Then, a jordon-jocking Virginia police officer planted marijuana in a car that Iverson was a passenger in. Even though Iverson was a passenger, people still claim that somehow HE was speeding. The District Attorney didn't press charges because he knew he had no case, yet the jordon-jocking police officer had done his job: he gave the jordon-jocking press fabricated material to further smear Iverson's good name with! This is obvious proof that jordon controls the media.
Why does jordon have a vendetta against President Clinton?
Back in 1995, The NBA Players Union negotiated a new Collective Bargaining Agreement (C.B.A.). When jordon received word of this, he was very angry. You see, jordon is against unions (look at his overseas child-labor factories, if you do not believe me). jordon wanted all of the players under HIS control, and he wanted them to all toil for the league minimum, which, by the way, jordon wanted to decrease to the National minimum salary, while jordon hogged the rest of the money. David Stern, jordons pawn, also wanted his master (jordon) ruling over the serfs. Therefore, Stern negotiated a terrible C.B.A. for the players. Then, jordon came in, supposedly as the players "friend" and wanted to destroy the players union, so they wouldnt have to work under such terrible conditions. Stern appeared to be against jordon. This would make the players think it was an "us vs.. them" situation, and make jordon appear to work for the good of the players. Stern and jordon were playing "Good cop, Bad cop" in a wicked attempt to give jordon full control of the NBA.
A few enlightened individuals, like Shaquille ONeal and Mitch Richmond, became wise to jordons foolish plan, and started battling jordon. Players started to see the light of jordons foolishness, thanks to these handsome and powerful leaders. jordon realized his plans were crumbling around him. Therefore, he called up President Clinton, and asked that Clinton convince the Secretary of Labor to "fix" the ballot box (when the players voted on decertifying the union), so that jordon would win. jordon promised Clinton much money and many favors. Clinton told jordon that, as one weasel to another, he appreciated jordons strong-arm, dirty tactics, but that he could not go through with jordons wicked plan. He said if word got out, even HE couldnt weasel out from under that scandal, and would surely lose his attempt at re-election. jordon assured him that no one would find out, but Clinton, wisely realized that after watching many basketball games, that jordon was no match for Shaq and Richmond, and declined jordons offer. jordon angrily vowed to make Clinton pay for his insolence. (From that point on, jordon started jocking Bob Dole for president, out of spite, and, well, you saw the results: jordon is a loser. Had Pippen and Rodman supported Dole, instead, we would be calling him "President Dole.")
jordons attempts to take over the players union were destroyed, as the players voted overwhelmingly in favor against Foolish jordon. Also, thanks to the efforts of Shaq, and Richmond, the Players Union renegotiated a fairer C.B.A. (jordons quote was, "Curses! Foiled again!")
jordon has been simmering over this defeat for many years and planning his revenge. First, he trained a special jordon-jocking agent, Monica Lewinski. jordon planted this agent in the White House to spread malicious lies about the President. Since jordon controls the press, he had no problem getting them to believe this story. CIA rumors say that jordon hid his plans at factory sites in Iraq (jordon admires Sadaam Hussein), and that is what Iraq is REALLY wanting to hide from the UN inspectors: weapons of mass jordon-jocking. Second, jordon trained another special agent, Kenneth Starr and planted in him in his position. These two were the key to jordon's evil plan. The third agent was later to be revealed (keep reading).
So while Clinton has hardly been a role model, it is easy to see that he, like Allen Iverson, is a victim of the jordon empire. If you do not "respect" jordon, he will make you pay. jordon presents a "clear and present danger" to the well being of the United States of America, but thanks to people like "Shaq" Ryan, jordons foolishness can only go so far.
Why did jordon wait 1-1/2 years to enact his plan?
First of all, jordon had to hatch his plan. Jordon maybe foolish and weak, but he does have an eye for detail. Next, he had to train his agents for their duties. Their roles would be difficult, and while jordon does control the media, his agents would still be under heavy scrutiny. Finally, jordon timed this just right, as the Collective Bargaining Agreement would be broken by the N.B.A. management and renegotiated. Notice how the heat on President Clinton and the confession has come during the league-union bargaining. Also, President Clinton's "confession" came a mere 2-1/2 weeks before the National Labor Board arbitrator decides if management has to pay the players who have guaranteed contracts. If the arbitrator (arbi-traitor, if he's a jordon jocker) decides in jordon's favor, then jordon can break the union and place it under his control.
What about the dress?
First, the jordon-jocking Supreme Court decides that the attorney-client privilege does not apply to those who oppose jordon's nefarious schemes. However, the President is no push-over and appeared to be standing strong in the polls. This upset jordon greatly. jordon doesn't like anybody being jocked, other than himself . Therefore jordon needed a "smoking gun" piece of evidence, like the Nixon tapes, or the O.J. glove (except Foolish jordon forgot to plant the right-sized glove). Therefore, miraculously, the dress appeared out of nowhere, that supposedly contained President Clinton's, uh, DNA on it. How could jordon pull this off? Does jordon run the F.B.I. crime labs? No. The dress belonged to the THIRD jordon-jocking agent, Hillary Rodham Clinton. Yes, Mrs. Clinton is a jordon jocker. She had access to the president's DNA, so she put some on the dress and gave it to Foolish jordon, who, in turn, gave it to jordon-jocking Agent Lewinski, who gave it to jordon-jocking Agent Starr.
Why did President Clinton confess?
When the F.B.I. tests came back positive, President Clinton realized he had been set-up in an elaborate frame. He didn't know how, but he knew that he had no chance of defeating this conspiracy. He called up jordon and apologized for his insolence. jordon promised President Clinton that if he "confessed," that jordon would grant him leniency from the jordon-jocking press. jordon very much enjoyed seeing the President of the United States grovel at his feet for mercy.
Is jordon in this for more than just revenge?
Yes. As stated before, jordon timed this to happen less than 3 weeks before the National Labor Board's arbi-traitor decides if the players get paid during the lockout or not. jordon is STILL trying to take over the player's union.
Besides his power-lust to control the N.B.A. players (since he can't on the court), he has other reasons for wanting to ruin next season's basketball season and the collective bargaining agreement. jordon knows that salaries are escalating every season, and since he made $35M this season for his minimal contributions, it is only a matter of time before other players, such as Iverson and Super Starks will make more money, since they are better players. jordon does not want any other players making more money than him, so he wants to initiate a hard salary cap. Also, if the season is ruined, fan base will deteriorate, especially if jordon retires, causing his jockriders. to go and jock the latest fad. With a deteriorating fan base, the league revenues will decrease and hold the hard cap down, so that no other player can make more money than greedy jordon.
Furthermore, jordon made an example out of President Clinton, so that future presidents won't demonstrate insolence toward jordon. jordon is hoping to revise the child labor laws in the United States to mirror those of the countries his factories are in. jordon will certainly need presidential support to overturn such a law.
Can jordon be imprisoned for his role in the scandal?
Hardly! If jordon can convince the Supreme Court to throw out one of the most fundamental cornerstones of American justice (the attorney-client privilege), do you really think he can be imprisoned? Furthermore, who is going to investigate him -- Congress? Congressmen depend on public support for their jobs. They cannot lose the votes of the jordon jockers, who make up a considerable amount of society. Finally, outside of risking job security, Congress knows investigating jordon would be a waste of time, since jordon ultimately has a presidential pardon waiting for him should anything come from their investigation!
Does this make jordon the most powerful man in the world?
No. There are many people more powerful than jordon, such as Super John Starks, Super Patrick Ewing, Allen Iverson, Shaq, and Mitch Richmond. For all of his power, jordon is helpless when he steps on the court against the likes of these. However, jordon is a very powerful figure in the world of politics.
