Lol and chuckling at MJ's reference too his personal incentive to motivate his desire too beat his opponent. The Man is & was such a fantastic competitor, it's really fascinating too find out. What really made him tick, or triggered his tenacious attitude too be the Winner 🏆🏆 and Great player that he became. For the sake of simple discussion the Man was a puzzle 🧩 & a very quizzical 🤨🤨 question of purpose in the first half of many Game's we saw? And then by the 2nd half, he would've caught Hell fire 🔥🔥 and his usually quiet demeanor would've disappeared, & he would then be fired up with energy resolve, motivation too annihilate the opposing Team and whoever they had hopelessly agh assigned too guard Him. At that given point in uncountable Game's, that's where Micheal Jordan basically took over the Game. Thanks for the insight to this Great Sports Legends personality. 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🏀🏀🤚🤚🤳
So, if George Karl had spoken to Jordan or given him a nod of acknowledgement or something at that restaurant, then George Karl's Sonics would have beaten Jordan, because Jordan would then lack motivation to win… the Finals?!?! In a season where the Bulls set the all-time win season at 72 wins? As in, Jordan would lack motivation to finish the perfect record season?
That is a stupid take. In the real world, most people blame Karl for not guarding Jordan with Gary Payton for the first three games.
The usual 'take it personal' Jordan motive was to destroy his defender, especially if he had a bad game against him.
So after Payton's game 4 and 5 defense on Jordan helped the Sonics humiliate the Bulls with a 21 and 11 point defeat, how did Jordan retaliate on Payton to show his defense couldn't stop him? He had a very bad shooting night (5 of 19, .263 from the field), and just 11 points from the field. Only 22 points for the game (the rest on free throws).
George Karl a very good NBA coach but his ego would get into his way many times. I know this to be true. Especially when he coached in Milwaukee. Cheers!
It's not accurate to call George Karl a good coach. He was the Western Conference version of Lenny Wilkens; his teams always did well in the regular seasons and were considered Finals contenders, but then they choked in the playoffs. With an actual good coach those Sonics would've gotten at least one ring in the 90s.
THAT JUST SHOWS MICHAEL JORDAN'S GREATNESS GEORGE CARL IS NOT THE ONLY THE ONLY COACH THAT DIDN'T LIKE JORDAN IT WAS A LOT OF COACHES THAT DIDN'T LIKE JORDAN BECAUSE HE WAS JUST THAT DAMN GOOD THAT HE WOULD MAKE THE COACH HATE HIM
The fact that Michael Jordan, one of the most conceited athletes on the planet, actually expected an opposing coach to praise him during the finals speaks volumes. Great ball player but Jordan seems like an insufferable human being.
I see some people in this comment section are clueless. Jordan was a maniac, but that being said these are Carolina guys and regardless of the situation; you should acknowledge another alum unless you already have beef.
