Well what do you want MJ are you the mind game guy? Or not cause it sounds like somthing if brought up in a different context you would brag about. Barkley sure thinks you kept him partying on purpose
It started with Larry. They went to war in the driveway, every day. They had dinner with the family. Then they laughed in the same bedroom, before they fell asleep…
And they say MJ never was buddy buddy with no one. A coach had to say this about him. He was friends with Barkley and played him in the finals. Gave him a gift before the finals and all that!!!
That's not on jordan. That's on the competitors to be competitive and remain ready no matter what. So what if the guy is nice off the court. You should still be ready to play
It was foolish for Van Gundy to say it even if it was true. I think MJ played psychological chess with a lot of players, but to call him a con-man publicly was only going to motivate him more.
thats why statistically every time MJ played against NY you can see how aggressive he was and almost dont pass the ball but drives and cooked em all, wont stop until he reached like 40 pts. at least.
Jeff found out the hard way 😂😂. MJ gave him 54 that night. I lived in Queens during that time. Lemme tell you the way NYrs were mad at Jeff VanGundy, I felt sorry for his sorry ahh.

He was a con man – using his charm and Nike influence on soft minds to just back off a little bit
Pat Reilly too….😮.
I disagree with MJ it was a tactic. Johnny Bach said in 1993 Jordan told him he bought Barkley $20k in jewelry so Chuck won’t get in his way.

If this happened to any player Michael's fans will be the first to cry soft
Lebron could never fill MJ’s shoes

Save that question so you can ask something else . The answer to it is always Yes Mike took it personally

Why would you piss off mike?!
Van Gundy didn’t say to incite Michael, he said it to motivate his guys into playing harder/tougher
Van just couldn’t get what he needed out of his players to beat Mike he was covering his own short comings
He IS a psychopath that’s hides it well, that’s for certain.
Van Gundy was right, Jordan was and is a master manipulator.
To be completely honest, even if they did play differently just because Jordan took them to dinner then that is 100% on them, not on Jordan.

MJ is a loser who got his dad killed by not paying his gambling debts to the mob. Nothing else he did matters
When MJ was born, he took it extremely personally 😂

I take Van Gundy's bad hair personally too.
These guys were PROS, they did not allow personal relationships to change how they played. Bring back 90's ball !.
The coach was insulting his own players.Thinking they could be persuaded by jordan's charm? Lol
