Re: ESPN Jon Robinson : NBA 2k12 Interview with Michael Jordan
He's either a Kobe or Lebron fan. Even Old School fans who hated MJ (Pistons fans, Knicks fans, etc.) give him props as the greatest or Top 3 ever. A lot of younger guys who never saw him in his prime don't believe how great he was."I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying."

On his clutchness: "I worked hard to get it, I believe in it, and it always came with no regrets."
You cam smell MJ's presence from a mile away...

Re: ESPN Jon Robinson : NBA 2k12 Interview with Michael Jordan
99 overall should mean he's 99 in everything, so asuming that is my mistake.
MJ was great, but he does have flaws.Comment

Re: ESPN Jon Robinson : NBA 2k12 Interview with Michael Jordan
he's only human. he does have flaws. he perfectly said it in a commercial once:
"i missed more than 9,000 shots in my career.
26 times i've been trusted to take the game winning shot.........and missed.
i failed over.... and over.... and over again in my life.
and that is why......
.... i succeed."

Re: ESPN Jon Robinson : NBA 2k12 Interview with Michael Jordan
me three
"It's fun to see myself still relevant in the game, and more than that, it's educational to the kids who never saw me play," Jordan tells me over the phone as we talk "2K12" and his influence over the final product.
barkley should think this way. most kids who were born in the 90s never actually saw him play thus not considering his greatness of a player that he was
alot of these younger guys also dont believe how great charles barkley was. all they see of him is being a fat *** tnt clown.Comment

Re: ESPN Jon Robinson : NBA 2k12 Interview with Michael Jordan
He might be my favorite player, so yeah, I'm biased, but dude literally had no flaws in his game.
He's one of the top rebounding guards of all time, so rebounding wasn't a weakness.
His 3pt% is slightly less than Kobe's, so that can't be used against him since others hype Kobe's 3pt shot.
His defense--well, a DPOY award and 9-time selection to the All Defense team speaks for itself.
I don't even have to go into detail re: his offensive capabilities.
I'm being serious when I say he really didn't have any flaws to his game."I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying."

Re: ESPN Jon Robinson : NBA 2k12 Interview with Michael Jordan
Hello Mike, i don't know if you will see my message but are you seriously agree with the fact that 2k didn't respect the 3 pt lign for 1995, 1996 and 1997 season.
Ok for Barkley maybe he is too much expensive for 2k (lol) you could lend some money to 2k to get Sir Charles! oh 2k13 is already ready with Barkley? ahhhh ok ok ok i understand !!!! business businnes
and for the 3 pt lign, how much?
i'm not happy about this.
And i hope we will be able to trade legend in other team legend because it's a big problem!!
I know you very well and i can assure you, if i were you, i will be not happy of your representation in the game because you are full of defauts!! I hope 2k improve you in 2k12 but i have not hope about this! Dunk are not excellent, three throw would have to be improved, they are not improved, i'm sure fade after fade away jump shot are not good (when you attack the basket if you don't do your fade away jump shot). And there is a triangle system which was not in nba 2k11 and i'm sure it won't be in 2k12! Some jump shot are strange.
This interveiw is finished, thanks you.Comment

Re: ESPN Jon Robinson : NBA 2k12 Interview with Michael Jordan
MJ's outside shooting is the biggest flaw, because before they shortened the line in 94-95 he didn't take many of em and didn't make many of them. For the rest, I agree he had no (major) flaws on offense. Don't know why you bring up Kobe but since you did, he's a better 3pt shooter then MJ - no not a fan, just being real and there's nothing to write home about his 3pt shooting either.
On defense, he was pretty good at stealing the ball but got away with a lot so his man-to-man defense was also not as good as some make it out to be. Also the reason he got many rebounds, from the games I have seen which is around 40-50 (ranging from 1990-1998), the team allowed him to get many of them. Also with no true center there wasn't really any1 to take it away from him.
It's not a knock on him, but he think he got many rebounds pure because he wanted the ball on his hands and dominate so might have even told his teammates whenever he's around, let him rebound the ball. It's not a flaw though.Comment

Re: ESPN Jon Robinson : NBA 2k12 Interview with Michael Jordan
First, thanks for the article link, great read. Love the "confidence" statement Jordan said when asked about him being clutch.
Second, I always LOL when fools try to downplay Jordan's game and accomplishments. Anyone, like myself, who grew up during the '80s and watched him reach his prime during the '90s KNOW FOR A FACT that Jordan is NO JOKE. As someone before me said, he was literally the real life "99" overall. Also, like Jordan stated in the interview:Hear that, kids? Get the game, get educated and stop saying he shouldn't be "99" overall"It's fun to see myself still relevant in the game, and more than that, it's educational to the kids who never saw me play."

Re: ESPN Jon Robinson : NBA 2k12 Interview with Michael Jordan
He was better than just pretty good at stealing...when was the last time you saw a SG win DPOY??
..and you can't penalize him for not having a big man, because there is hardly a player in league history that succeeded to his level without one, he was the C

Re: ESPN Jon Robinson : NBA 2k12 Interview with Michael Jordan
Read carefully padawan...
(1) Funny you say that his outside shot was his biggest flaw, when it may have been his biggest strength. Consider this: how many game winning LAY-UPS did you see Jordan have? MJ, by far, had more game winning jumpshots from the outside. No, not 3 pointers, but you said "outside shots", and MJ hit them when it counted.
(2) How in the world could you not only be named to all those All NBA Defense 1st Teams, but win the Defensive Player of the Year if his defensive was not as good as some make it out to be?
(3) How could Chicago "allow" MJ to get many of the rebounds? By that logic, why didn't the opposing team "not allow" him to get rebounds? Physics and timing allow you to get rebounds--not your teammates. You don't know where the ball is going to go when it hits the rim so you gotta jump in the air and go get it yourself using athletic ability. It's not like a rebound is a fly ball to center field when the center fielder "allows" the right fielder to get it lol.
(4) THE funniest thing I have EVER read on OS.
MJ: "Hey guys--when I'm in the paint, don't try to get the rebound; let me get it." You have got to be kidding me. I guess when Jordan decided to be nice, he "allowed" Dennis Rodman to get ALL those rebounds he got, because you know he didn't get them on his own--Rodman's teammates "allowed" him to do it.
WOW...Comment
