Cartwright threatened to break Jordan's Legs at one point if he kept messing with him. Needless to say, Jordan stopped ******* with Cartwright after that threat was made.

Does this book mention Space Jam? I may want to read it if it does.

Oh yeah I remember that. I guess Scottie and Horace were to scared to buck up to him like that.

Re: The Jordan Rules, LOL

Some of those quote are certainly entertaining, but I never took the book seriously because of the animosity between Sam Smith and Jordan.

Re: The Jordan Rules, LOL

Yes, I know everything.

No, you don't. But it's cute that you pretend to.

Michael Jordan was as media savvy as they come, but alot of that comes from having a personality as bland as a white piece of paper. David freakin' Stern has more personality than Money (see draft night a couple years ago chewing out Dan Patrick).

Hell, it's hard to get that bastard out in the public NOW to say anything. Smokin' stogies and ****. "Oooo I'm cool while playing golf." Even his personal kiss-*** Ahmad Rashad hopped off that dry bum's gravy train.

So he got around and trashed some teammates. That's every day in pro sports.

[ehh]

Re: The Jordan Rules, LOL

Ya'll must really be THAT gullible to think that if Jordan were to say any of those things he said with TODAY'S technology and media that people would still look at him the same.

Please, Jordan would have adapted and kept private whatever he needed to keep private, like Derek Jeter and Tiger Woods have done just fine with today's technology and maintaining their sparkling image.

Re: The Jordan Rules, LOL

My two favorite.

The GM line and the one asking Stacy King if there's a jumpshot in the box he's carrying are priceless.

Yea...those quotes were hilarious.

Re: The Jordan Rules, LOL

I'm still waiting for KG to retire so they can come out his book. I'd love to hear some of the stuff he says to his teammates and himself.

This.

I also wanna hear some of the stuff AI has said to teammates over the years, lol. I bet its 10x's worse.

If you [pass the ball to Bill Cartwright], you'll never get the ball from me."

"You ever hear of a guy, six-eleven maybe and two hundred sixty pounds, a guy big and fat like that and he can't get but two rebounds, if that many, running all over the damn court and he gets two rebounds? Big guy like that and he gets one rebound. Can't even stick his **** into people and get more than that...Big, fat, fat guy. One rebound in three games. Power forward. Maybe they should call it powerless forward." - Michael ripping Stacey King a new one

I remember seeing that on sportscenter a long time ago. Cartwright actually said he told MJ that.

[ehh]

Re: The Jordan Rules, LOL

I remember that story as well, I think it's it Jordan's SportsCentury as well.

Re: The Jordan Rules, LOL

I have a couple of favorite passages from that book.

1) Jordan threatened to retire ever traded for Reggie Theus

2) Stacey King talking smack with BJ Armstrong about what a great 3 point shooter he was in college.

Armstrong went to and did some homework, told King he was full of it and fight breaking out.

3) Phil Jackson refusing to keep score in a scrimmage, causing Jordan to fly into a rage and destroying everyone

4) Cliff Levingston trying to spend with Dominique Wilkins and is on the verge of bankruptcy until the Bulls offer him a deal in the 11th hour.


5) Jordan taunting Stacy King about his lack of rebounding, refering to him as "powerless forward"..after he went 3 straight games without recording a defensive rebounding.

6) Jordan telling Barkley, Oakley and Nique over a game of cards, that Doug Collins cries every day.

7) The Bulls holding Clevelands starting backcourt of Darnelle Valentine and Gerald Paddio, scoreless in a game.

8) Scottie's insecurity

9) Jordan calling Will Purdue Will Vanderbilt, because he said he wasnt good enough to be named after a big ten school

10) Horace Grant, probably the shyest guy on the team, being the only one who would challenge Jordan


a ton others. It is truly a classic, and often hilarious book.
