Re: has anyone ever called out Jordan?
Coaches made it clear during practice and speeches to never call out or piss of Jordan before a game.

Thats why I wouldn't be surprised if he comes out of retirement again, with what Pippen said about Lebron and the way young punks disrespect him on this forum.

Jordan didn't need to be called out. He was hard on himself if he played bad, and came out on call to meet or exceed the hype and delivered. He was self motivated. Case in point ... 1993 ECF, shot terribly the first 2 games ... comes out in game 3 and drops 54 points.

Re: has anyone ever called out Jordan?
There were times, and Jordan always delivered.
Van Gundy learned the hard way

Edit: You meant called out for the way he was playing. I have no memory of that.
Edit: In this game http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZ3ud...&feature=feedu
one of the players talked shit to Michael, in the final minutes, and Jordan scored 19 points to win the game.

How about during the same game? In game 3 of the 1992 first round, Brian Shaw and Willie Burton started taunting Jordan after he scored zero points in the first quarter. They said "we've got your number tonight Mike! We're shutting you down!" Bad move. Jordan proceeded to score 56 points in quarters 2-4 to eliminate the Heat. Here are the highlights:

Re: has anyone ever called out Jordan?
I thought B.Shaw with GS was lighting it up and trash talking to MJ while the W's were up like 15 points in the 4th. MJ told the opposing coach "you better shut him up" and the coach just looked at Jordan bewildered. MJ went on a scoring run and won the game. Walked over to the opposing coach and said "told you you should have shut him up"
Someone on ISH told me it was actually Derrick Martin when he played for Vancouver.
I have no idea who the player was, but that story is legit regardless of who it was, and awesome to say the least.

Didn't a news reporter from cleveland say that Ehlo was an elite defender and could shut down jordan before he dropped 69 on them?

This too ... and even coaches had to learn their lessons.
See the Van Gundy Game "Con Man Game" ... where dropped 51 on the Knicks then gave the death stare to little old Van Guny telling him to suck on that and dropping expletives after his last basket to finish the game.
Or the George Karl game, where he dropped 45 on the Glove in response to Gary and Karl's comments about his game.
Or the "LaBradford Smith Game" ... Smith dropped 37 on Jordan and the Bulls. Jordan really just sagged off and let him shoot jumpers that game, not respecting his game offensively. Jordan was so pissed and embarassed he promised journalists he would match Smith's total of 37 by half time. The Bulls played them again the next night.
He only finished the first half of the next game with 36, not solidifying his promise of 37.
haha ...
He finished the game with 47 in only 31 minutes, and in the first half held Smith to 2 - 8 shooting.
