what do you mean you dont think so? All his team mates said he was a dick, he gets into ****ing fights with his team mates. Even in his Hall of Fame speech was a dick, but you dont think so?

The only person Kobe has ever thrown under the bus was Smush Parker, and well, can you blame him. lol

Totally agree, check out this one.

Hard to argue with this. There are three kinds of women in Chicago - those Jordan has ****ed, those Jordan didn't want to ****, and those Jordan hasn't met.

I used to work for a woman who dated Jordan in college until she tired of his constant indiscretions. Direct quote from her: "Mike would **** a snake if you held it's head still."

He was always careful and discrete, but would not have done well in the world of cellphone cameras and twitter.

Then you clearly don't know anything about Michael Jordan.

If Twitter and Facebook and TMZ would have been around back then, the guy would probably be the most reviled athlete in America.

The guy ****ed every chick he could while married (including several porn stars), had massive gambling debts and gambling addiction and was a dick to everyone in his path, including his own teammates.

That shit wouldn't fly in 2011.

It doesn't matter man. Some people have that "it" likeable factor about them. Look at all the stuff Mike Tyson did and everybody still loves that dude.

Spot on.

Who the **** loves Mike Tyson?

Most know that now and do they care? No. Just like people overlook all of Charles Barkley's personal stuff.

ROFL Funny, that's exactly what went through my head. Maybe he means in a Tonya Harding type of way.

What I've never understood is how people are okay with LeBron being the next Jordan but hate the idea of Kobe being that.

LeBron is a bigger douche than Kobe, and somehow, is a worse off basketball player. Imagine if Kobe had LeBrons size and talent. With Kobes work ethic, he'd single handedly win the NBA title every year. But LeBron has no type of work ethic to show off. He's still the only 6'9 260 pound guy in the NBA that has no type of post moves to speak of and a very average jump shot.

Bottom line...

If you don't like Kobe because you feel like he's a dick, then stop reading or paying attention to anything Jordan outside of highlights from here on out.

It'll just down hill for you.

Mike Tyson and Ali might be the only 2 athletes or former athletes alive that rival Jordan's popularity. Mike Tyson and Kobe Bryant walk into some place guess who everyone wants to shake hands with.

Lebron had the physical freak thing on his side, but any thought of him ever being a top 10 player have pretty much went by the wayside now.

Being popular does not mean you're loved.

Ali, sure. But Tyson? Perhaps once, but not for a long time.
