The thing about Jordan is he was the best offensive player in the league and the best defensive player at his position. He made All-NBA defensive Teams while scoring 32+ nightly. That's what made him so amazing. Only Kobe and LeBron have even approached that level of all around game. Meanwhile, the Warriors have to actively hide Curry on defense. Curry is an amazing scorer and best shooter of all time, but he can't sniff Jordan's complete game.

God, I hate Michael Jordan!

I actually used to live across the street from him.  I'm not kidding.

 

In between pickup games where we'd wear Hanes and drink Gatorade, he used to talk about how much he hates you, too.  

 

Ok, now I'm kidding.

 

But I really did live across the street from him.

I know.  It hurt MJ greatly when he couldn't contact me anymore.  Or so I heard from Pippen.

So Pippen never came after your "watermelon juice?" That's a good thing, right?

Jordan doesn't tip for either. Charles Barkley does though! Chuck is the man!

Isn't that what Rodman said?

Conor MgGregor retires from UFC/MMA

[Wyldnwoody44]

So he says, he was at a fight where a buddy sustained life threatening injuries from fighting.... May be knee jerk.

 

We shall see how it plays out.

[inkman]

Am I the only one who thinks Paxton Lynch looks like a douchenozzle?

 

[WildCard]

And McGregor un-retires. Alrighty then

NCAA Lacrosse update:

 

UNC trailed #1 Notre Dame 14-9 in the 4th quarter and came back to beat them 17-15 to take the ACC regular season title.  ND had not allowed double digit goals all season until today.

[WildCard]

Steph Curry appeared to sprain his knee after coming back for Game 4 from an ankle injury. The best team in the history of the NBA (record wise at least) may lose their and the league's MVP in the first round of the playoffs. Somewhere, SA and LeBron are rejoicing

[ubkev]

Dee Gordon just got popped for 80 games for testing positive for something.

 

I hate drug testing in professional sports.

[WildCard]

He tested positive for PED's. Bud or pills I get, but PED's is a no-no in my book

[Wyldnwoody44]

So Leicester wins it all, I don't follow football/soccer, but seems like a huge deal.

Here is a very good summary of why it's so incredible. It is top 5 underdog stories of all time. The player of the year, Vardy, worked 12 hour factory shifts while making 30 euros per game until he finally got onto a professional team

If you want the total picture, all this happened after the remains of King Richard III were found in the ruins of a medieval church buried in a parking lot in the City of Leicester. (In fact, the King's remains were found under a parking spot that had a capital letter "R" painted on it). There is a documentary about this on the Smithsonian Channel. King Richard was recently re-buried with full honors in Leicester Cathedral. And to top it off, Leicester City's major sponsor is a Thai duty-free company called King Power. The whole story is almost too much to believe, except it actually happened.  King power, indeed....

That was a pretty cool documentary.
