    That's the slogan NIKE would have used if all knew that he was an habitual gambler at Casino's....... who once cheated against a UNC's teammates grandmother while playing Cards with her?

    Known to punch teammates and be an asshole towards them?

    Social media haters would have brought that up over and over and over again.

    Well at least for better or for worst MJ wasn't hiding who he is. No fake-ass tough persona nor likes getting cuddled. He was an asshole and he knew it.

    Today his PR team would be at work 24/7

    Young MJ would get a lot shit in the modern era, because plenty of people were calling him the GOAT long before he earned it.

    WTF are you talking about? This is someone who hid himself for the $. "Republicans buy sneakers too".

    Look at how well he hid the gambling fiasco.

    How much of an asshole he was to his teammates.

    He turned himself into a Looney Tune FFS...GTFOH. My sides hurt from the laughing

    Social media would have destroyed this dude's life.

    Jordan would roast niccas every day if Twitter was around

    Except instead of KD who is ugly and attacks people over their looks

    The GOAT would go out and dominate the next night and leave the hater's twitter handle in a tweet with his stats after the game

    There would be the Skip Bayless game and the Stephen A Smith game where Jordan personally calls them out in interviews post game and disses the farx out of them

    People should read about the vetting process women had to go thru before even talking to to MJ, he had 1-2 private detectives on his staff at all times for this purpose

    He would just hire damage control and make sure none of the bad shit got on the net and if it did he would shut the haters down

    this

    It aint like MJ wasn't scrutinized and then shut shit down.

    Actually, MJ would be MORE dangerous since it would be more fuel added to his fire.

    LOL at grown men like you believing in this sort of fairytale bullshit.

    People say Wilt fans are bad. MJ fans try and write a whole different narrative, yet we have more evidence than any Wilt fan trying to convince us of shit.

    You idiot, that shit happened in real life.

    Reporters counted the Bulls out.. he looked at each one of them in the CAvs series and told them to their face how he took care of them.

    Coaches talked shit, he destroyed their team.

    Players talked shit, he dropped 50 on them.

    Fans talked shit, he made them shut the f*ck up.

    They said he couldn't make his teammates better, Scottie became a HOFer.

    They told him scorers couldn't win titles... he won 6.

    The stories go on and on.

    Players were told by their coaches NOT to talk trash to him.... even while he was retired... the second time.

    They compared Drexler to him... we all know what happened.

    Players, coaches, media, feared him... this isn't something Im making up.

    This stuff isn't rewriting a narrative, this shit actually happened. Go f*ck yourself b*tch.

    This isn't about how it would affect MJ's game....it's about how it would have affected his brand, family etc..

    Has he givin SI an interview since they posted his baseball picture on the cover ...telling him to quit embarrassing himself?

    Relax cupcake...its not that serious.

    The media would be on MJ's nuts the same way 3ball rides them on here. Mike's gambling gets exploited just as his narcissism and fierce competitiveness would. A mixed bag really, but without a doubt THE most talked about and popular athlete in sports.

    Ok, I change my mind, all you youngins have convinced me. There's no way Jordan could stand up to ... wait for it... Tweets, more tweets, and ESPN commentators. No freakin way... It's too much for any human (except the god-like Lebron) to bear, and we all know Jordan was a wilting flower who barely could stand up to the small level of attention he received in the 80's 90's 2000's, 10s, etc...

    I mean - it's not like people in the 90's quickly found out about his gambling in the playoffs and tattled on him. It's not like he got publicly chastised for it, or that anyone even knew about it at the time. Right.... right?? I mean we just found out about his gambling, hitting teammates, affairs, just a few days ago. And we know, if those things would have been known during his career, it would have just destroyed his popularity and his game. He wouldn't even be able to play, much less win championships. That sensitive SOB would just sit on the bench and cry. So how on god's green earth would he be able to handle the avalanche, the insane onslaught of Twitter, Facebook, and Skip Bayless. He'd be begging Lebron to just put him out of his misery.

    Yes, there's no way Jordan could handle today's negative media attention. Or maybe, just maybe, I'm wrong and you youngins are just trolling fools.

    good lord this is starting to approach player worship, something that I almost never see even here. You're making him seem like some sort of Greek God.
