Dont you see the light!! its all propaganda my man.. Not all top players in any sport dominates on every play. Golf, basketball, baseball..your all uptight.. relax dude.. its about $ & nothing else!! Endorsements,​ sponsers etc. You just answered your own question
"CONTINUED" ...   (port2344chester)19.11.2009
"CONTINUED" Cinderella shit whatever... go get those glasses fix 1-800-fix-ur-​glass-es & check ur blood pressure haha.. taking this too heart man.. its all convo! Relax man not out to cause any trouble. Its all good
Damn right it's all ...   (mattgarciatx)19.11.2009
Damn right it's all bullshit. Just like when Tiger Woods does bad and the media makes excuses that he's playing on an awkward course or he wasn't on his game. They can never just admit maybe someone played better that day. I guess Isiah Thomas really played with a sprained ankle too?? All of that is just horse shit. The whole playing with the flu or a sprained ankle thing is getting old by now. So knock it off with the Cinderella shit.
"CONTINUED" I guess ...   (port2344chester)19.11.2009
"CONTINUED" I guess those plays were fake & the announcers were his doctors just like mj's..Yes many of people are on mj's jock.. the man was nasty period & yes you were a kid when the flu game went down.
Nice try... yes it ...   (port2344chester)19.11.2009
Nice try... yes it is a nice try that you are hating on MJ...I agree with you that the 90's was the last era of quality basketball.I'm not stero typing @ all... give us jordan fans a real reason why he didnt have the flu? The announcers are paid to hype up the game, millions are generated by this duhhh...they hyped up games when bird had a bad back & dove on the floor & still made plays to win the game.. "CONTINUED"
Actually I'm 27 ...   (mattgarciatx)19.11.2009
Actually I'm 27 years old today, so I was hardly a little boy and I'm a Kobe hater. I also believe that 90s era basketball was the last great era of the REAL nba. Nice of you to stereotype though. I'm just a rare guy that didn't buy into the KISS Jordan's ass club. Give me a break with the "flu" game and of course all the announcers gotta be all up in his ass with the story. It was all crap lol. I don't like Little Wayne either btw lol, but nice try!!
Man you were still ...   (port2344chester)19.11.2009
Man you were still a little boy when this went down.. how can you say something about mj like that, sometimes its best to follow the K.I.S.S. method Keep It Simple Stupid. Be seen & not heard.. Mj was the man & you most like ly like Kobe Bryant & love little wayne. Both overated cats.. Kobe copies mj no brainer & little wayne is garbage... Respect your elders

That was such bullshit that Jordan had the flu lol. Yeah he's sprinting up and down a court doing jump shots, spinning around, doing tamahawk jams and then decides to look all exhausted and wipe his head. Such an acting job just looking for more attention than what he usually gets.

Flu Like symptoms - that's a part of having full blown AIDS. No one else will say it. Lets speak the truth. Why is HIV even an issue??? The problem is American public perception.

I saw your mom having sex with a donkey. Eye-witness testimony. Sorry bra, either you admit you're wrong, or admit your mom's a freaky whore.
true but it would ...   (foolish192)6.11.2009
true but it would be nice to get recognition i mean its very rare that you see a game these days thats intense from start to finish... i think itz pretty much a rap for allen iverson...if he couldnt make it happen with the nuggetts it aint gonna happen he had a better chance with the 76'rs than he does with memphis
well don't forget ...   (kalpal67)5.11.2009
well don't forget they're hall of famers but the way history works is that you don't get too much credit for almost winning. if Iverson doesn't hurry up they'll be saying the same about him.
you are full of ...   (foolish192)5.11.2009
you are full of shyt even if he didnt have the flu im sure you didnt see him golfing...im mean who does that while their in the middle of the nba finals in between the team drills, practice press confrences and interviews and trips outta town he woulnd have ahd time to golf....ur a dick head
