HAHAHAHA.

Your examples were wayyyy to f’ed up. In terms of basketball, my good sir, if someone like Michael Jordan, called me out, i’d be honored rather than agitated. that’s the GOAT. Russel should have just accepted the fact that MJ burned him twice in the Finals, and then wait for his turn to get a speech IF he gets inducted to the HOF. He should even thank Jordan right now that he’s getting publicity like this for simply being a defensive let-down.

Good for you that you stood up for yourself. I’ll give you 3 claps for that but what you’re giving as examples are just ridiculous.

@ JesusFTW

So you’re saying that if you feel somebody is better than you, they can call you out and disrespect you with no repurcussions from you? MJ can come to your house, smash your chick in your bed, have you do his laundry and then eat your dinner and you ain’t gonna say shit? (extreme example lol) Or somebody can call you out, and you just gonna be like yes massa, you sho right about everything you said about me aka bending over and taking it?

I’m sorry, but that can’t be me, I’ve been called out and punked before, but I still stood up for myself and I can’t blame Bryon for doing the same thing.

What’s the point in issueing a challenge at this stage in both of their lives? Seems pointless. Somwehat akin to MC Hammer, in the 90′s, challenging Michael Jackson to a dance-off for his glove.

Russell handled that well.. The interviewer was trying to get him to slip up, but Russell kept his class and said what he should have!

You guys sounding off without listening to the interview? Dude gave mad props to MJ in spite of being called everything but ‘air gordan’ in MJ’s HOF speech. When asked about MJ’s last shot he called it a good basketball play. I didn’t hear much complaining at all. So what if he challenged Jordan to a scrimmage…

O-Man do you really think Mike thinks about russell that much. Yeah he threw a lil jab in the speech but I mean it was the most significant shot in his career maybe in the history of the nba. And it’s cool that he’s got heart but I mean what is a game against mike gonna prove? Even by some unworldly chance he smokes mike you think people gon look back and say man russell owned mike. I think not

Jordan is a bitter man, how sad. I don’t see how his oncourt performance buys you the right to act with little class.

A lot of people seem to be saying that the more accomplished a man is, the more he is entitled to disrespect others? We have so many issues with people being corrupted by power. No wonder.

Russel should take credit for getting into Jordan’s head. He came out like a human being, like somebody with a heart. Jordan needs a hug, badly.
