Referees didn't go out of their way with a groveling, public apology afterwards.

Jordan threw fits just like LeBron did, the difference is

Jordan got mad but he didn't flop around like a toddler and whine like crazy.

Oh so Jordan was better at complaining about officiating than LeBron. Got it.

Basically, if LeBron does it, Jordan did it better.

DB Cooper

Find me a video of him rolling on the floor pouting.

He got ejected in a game for making contact with a ref

RockyBalboa

I never saw MJ throw a temper tantrum or pout

slatecoug

Jan 30, 2:23pm

He did.

RockyBalboa

In your opinion

slatecoug

Jan 30, 2:52pm

It's a historically factually correct statement. Not an opinion.

RockyBalboa

Jan 30, 3:00pm

The fact you are trying to compare the two shows how historically inaccurate that statement is.

slatecoug

Jan 30, 3:08pm

Its okay for you to believe something that is wrong. A lot of people on here do.

RockyBalboa

Jan 30, 3:12pm

Wrong like what you are promoting right now?

slatecoug

Jan 30, 3:20pm

No he just freaked out, bumped a ref and got tossed from a game is all

RockyBalboa

Jan 30, 3:38pm

So you are basing your opinion on a one time event compared to Lebron's consistent tantrums over his entire career?

slatecoug

Jan 30, 3:44pm

LeBron is def a drama queen. No doubt about it.

RockyBalboa

Jan 30, 3:58pm

So what you re saying is MJ played before social media...got it

Wasn't in public and wasn't crying while pounding the floor. Love is blind isn't it?

Jordan was a far bigger toddler against the Jazz

I have never seen a player react this. It was embarrassing.

I agree it's drama queen-ish and completely over the top.

RockyBalboa

Jan 30, 11:37am

That’s Drama-King to you sir;)

and so your claim is that Jordan also did completely drama-queen-ish and

Missed call in a regular season game still going to OT w/ a 13th place WC team.

Corn Pop

Jan 30, 11:42am

Lakers have had four games decided on missed calls in the last 2 weeks

Huge Manatee

Jan 30, 11:51am

Or just be good enough that it doesn't matter what the refs do? Be good enough

Waluigi

Jan 30, 12:04pm

Maybe, but saying it doesn't matter because they are 13th is pretty disengenuous

Huge Manatee

Jan 30, 12:25pm

He took like 5 steps on his way to the rim…

Hyrum in Houston

Jan 30, 12:47pm

Absolutely gut wrenching that the 13th place WC team still had a chance in OT.

Corn Pop

Jan 30, 11:44am

I suspect LeBron has benefited from calls more often than not.

Eddie

Jan 30, 11:46am

LeBron is 3rd in the league in shots around the rim and 20th in FTA. I suspect you do not know what you're talking about

scootsy

Jan 30, 11:50am

Oops, I was waaay off. He is 2nd in the league in shots around the rim and 29th(!!!) in FTA.

find me the lie

It was a joke, your first post was wrong. My reply was a joke

BYUheaven

Jan 30, 12:25pm

I do find it interesting though in the screenshots you gave that Zion is number

BYUheaven

Jan 30, 12:27pm

Zion also has 248 fta…he does average significantly more per game

PHXSUNS31

Seriously? NBA is a star driven league. Everyone knows it. It isn't a secret.

Eddie

Jan 30, 11:58am

I don’t think your statement is wrong…time and reputation matter

PHXSUNS31

Jan 30, 12:21pm

I'm absolutely sure it's driven by subconscious bias.

Eddie

Jan 30, 12:29pm

He definitely does at times, but he’s also kind of unique

PHXSUNS31

Jan 30, 12:44pm

I don't know if you watched the whole game. If you did, you'd not call it a fit.

Jan 30, 1:31pm

If an athlete behaves acts like a 9 yr old girl I call that a fit.

RockyBalboa

Jan 30, 1:47pm

Agree .. in this case he was justified. This was way beyond bad calls. This was

Jan 30, 2:08pm

come on now. he got angry, but rolling around on the floor throwing a tantrum?

Jordan whined all the time. Most of the greats did.

RockyBalboa

Jan 30, 3:00pm

LeBron carries the ball and travels...doesn't get called
