Re: Incredibly Rare Footage of Jordan's Shot Against Cavs
What Jordan says here has been the biggest complaint about Kobe's game before he started sharing the ball. Jordan is very smart. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbLEo...lpage#t=24 9s Great thing also about the video is getting to see other people interviewing him, and how difficult it is to get to the locker room.

But he did, and there was. And besides, they still got through the Knicks and to the ECF that year and took the eventual champs to 6 games. And that was before Pippen or Grant had really emerged.

MJ should have never gotten the ball, that falls back on the coach
To be honest, you sorta just sound bitter and mad because of the Jordan/Bulls dynasty.

It was something I've always brought up. Its simply used as a redirecting method of defense, and its still as active today. You can't use it to push other players or hold them as many suggest. The whole soft image the league gets now is because technical and unsportsmanlike fouls are called more often. And for good reason; we don't want players injured.
I know you've been hand checked before lol. I've had people call a hand check on me in a street ball game it's like forreal? It depends on the person. Some people have vicious hand checks, but usually that would be illegal even in the old nba.
That being said, they do hand check now, but they'll call it. You can definitely hand check people now. Basically you hand check for just one second as a bump. I always thought people who held onto you with a hand and pushed you away from the hoop were fouling me, but I never called it. A lot of old people I used to play against would do that.
Never tried the old MJ slapping someone's hand off of you. haha... It's like SON, get off me. I always thought that move was hilarious.

You are no longer qualified to talk basketball on this site. They did not have 7 game series in the 1st round in 1989 you stupid mutherf*cker. That was game 5 which was the last game
