[QUOTE]"I don't like being up here for the Hall of Fame because at that time your basketball career is completely over," Jordan said. "I was hoping this day would be 20 more years, or actually go in when I'm dead and gone."[/QUOTE]sweet! another comback? :lol:

Re: Jordan in Hall of Fame

Re: Jordan in Hall of Fame

Loved his speech and press conference. The man is such a champion! Still inspires me today.

Re: Jordan in Hall of Fame

critics are saying jordan's speech was full of bitterness, personally I couldn't care less what critics say about mj, but I did notice his speech seemed to put-off several people in the crowd, their reactions were rather funny. :lol: sort of like, "damn he's bringing that up, that was 20 years ago," :lol:

Re: Jordan in Hall of Fame

^^^ whatever, MJ can say what the fuck he wants, score board bitches! too many public figures say " the right thing", and then we find out they're not perfect.. let him say what he wants, the thing that stood out to me was how ge completely acknowledged his teammates for his accomplshments.. when he said every poster, its not just me there, Scottie Pippen was always there too...

Re: Jordan in Hall of Fame

Re: Jordan in Hall of Fame

Jordan won 10 scoring titles, 5 he won while making over 50% of his shots, Jordan led the league in steals, Jordan was the best shot blocking guard, Jordan won 14 combined MVP's (3 all star, 5 league, 6 finals). Jordan averaged 33, 6, and 6 in the Finals for his career.

Doug Collins decided to move Jordan to the point guard spot against Seattle on March 11, 1989. He finished that game with 15 assists. Two days later, he had a game of 21/14/14 against the Pacers in just 30 minutes of playing time in a 32-point blowout win. He reached the triple double mark in just 21 minutes. Jordan continued to play at the PG spot until the end of the season. In these 24 games he averaged 29.3ppg, 8.9rpg, 10.6 apg, 2.4spg. Between March 24 and April 14, 1989, he recorded a triple double in ten of the eleven games, including seven consecutive ones. In the game he didn't record a triple double, he finished with 40 points, 11 assists and 7 rebounds. The hands down greatest of all time, anyone disputing this is a misinformed individual.

Jordan averaged 31.5ppg on 51.5% shooting when he wore a Bulls uniform while leading the league in scoring 10 times.
