Re: This is what Michael Jordan used to get away with
Of course Mike got away with stuff, every star does. It's pretty much right of passage nowdays. Just isn't fully visible to people with colored glasses......

Re: This is what Michael Jordan used to get away with
What an amazing triple overtime NBA finals game though. Man I miss my Suns being a perennial playoff team. They may not have won a championship(though they got robbed of one in 07), but damn they put on so many exciting basketball games over the years. They were always a "down to the wire" type of team. Close af games, overtimes, really fast paced playstyle. Fun to watch for all basketball fans. Esp the Steve Nash/Amare/Marion era.

Have you ever dribbled a basketball? Dude was traveling like Carmen Sandiego.

And it was a understood thing back then apparently. Crazy how much differently the media moves in this era. Originally Posted by eliteballer

Re: This is what Michael Jordan used to get away with
You gotta admit.. mj's travels were pretty quick and hard to catch in the moment.
He was notorious for traveling on his patented stationary spin moves, but only years later did anyone notice when they watch the old highlights.. it wasn't a thing at the time - no one realized he was travelling on those moves.. it's a function of his goat skill that his travels weren't noticeable

Re: This is what Michael Jordan used to get away with
I still remember MJ facing my Cavs and me screaming at the TV:
“Damn we know he’s GOAT but call a fvcking travel already!”

It's not only the calls he got away with, but the ones called for him. If someone touched old Jordan he'd be shooting FTs.

Unless you're Reggie Miller pushing off to get open for a three to extend the series. Originally Posted by Cleverness

Re: This is what Michael Jordan used to get away with
Name me a superstar that hasn't ever gotten away with offensive fouls, travels, push offs, etc. That's right, you can't. You're just cherry picking. MJ's still the GOAT
