    I never understood why black people think that, ? +Money=Malcolm X

    Nah man on the contrary I think people view individuals with a lot of money and fame as "people who can reach out to easily", and or "people who can move the masses" and or "people who should give back" but ultimately there is no obligation on well endowed individuals to "give back", yet there should be some kind of conscience from these individuals towards the needy although again like I said there is no obligation so those things work both ways, is a tough situation man

    Everyone else has already said, so why not Alcindor the GOAT.



    Kareem is the ? of this NBA ? anyway. (I still haven't gotten an argument to prove that wrong, either.)

    What I'm not getting is why someone making a lot of money make them qualified to do any of that. Especially "move the masses" ? around and let a ? lead you right of a cliff or worst right into the hands of those that mean you harm.

    I just know if I'm in the business of selling something I'm not alienating no group from giving me their money

    Exactly, if MJ established who he is way back in 1990, why take shots at him for it now.

    What is the actual history of him selling out? What's the back story?

    Mike know how to play the game, not just basketball either. It could be a real reason why he always stayed politically ambiguous and never really tried to ruffle any feathers in the court of public perception. Maybe Mike wasn't as squeaky clean off the court like many people believe. The gambling debts, and the questions surrounding his father's murder have always been hush topics concerning Mike.

    That man is entitled to his opinion, it's a basic human right. Jordan hasn't given any evidence to support a counter argument no way.

    I tell the same story anytime jordans allegiances are brought up.

    I live 10 mins from the basketball hall of fame. When jordan had his induction it was a big thing obviously. A friend of mine plays alot of ball around the region and ended up at some ceremony that put him in the same room with alot of inductees, jordan included. He was dead serious when he said mike flat out told him "i dont take pictures with ? " in the most condescending tone with the iciest of grills on his face. Smh. But its well known jordans been an unapologetic ? since day 1.

    Gotta admire his consistency. He sticks to his coony ass beliefs.

    Foul stop this black ? get money green is the only color that matters in the United States. He's a athlete/businessman... Last I checked he was great at both. Apple hires kids and makes people work 80hrs a week all this ? too but I bet you ? all have apple products. Stop this ? damn let Mike work.

    MJ changed when his pops got murked. I think he was on some "I'm just gonna focus on getting money off these ? ." The Chamillionare story sheds light on that. (MJ voice) "ion take pictures wit ? !!"

    Kareem is out promoting his HBO documentary. Jordan avoids anything social political. He doesn't do tons of interviews anyway and reporters are so buddy buddy with him, they won't ask him questions about serious matters.
