I couldn’t agree more. People pressuring people to be what they want them to be are the worst people. He wouldn’t be as good at what he loved if he wasn’t focused enough to do what was best for him. Take notes.
Lebron only seemed to be willing to speak up until it affected his pockets like with the daryl morey situation
Lebron is a company man
Reborn Automotive speak up fo money but don’t speak up to learn how to win championships or shoot free throws
Michael is worse, don’t speak at all
Who gave the league financial flexibility so guys like lebron could speak? It’s easy to speak when Jordan stuffs 5 billion into the leagues revenue. He’s literally the reason for all that. Nba finals ratings dropped from 29 million to 16 million the year after he left.
When HK protesters fires back at him.. He shut his mouth.. Trying hard to get political but cqnnot back it up..
Jordan is a true Alpha Male👍🏾
Eugene Reeves is that why he cried like a bitch & got all emotional when the Pistons beat him year after year & holds a grudge to this day. Yeah, real “alpha”
Eugene Reeves “boo hoo the mean boys didn’t shake my hand”
Cried or got motivated?
@@LordBranniganThe YEAH YOU ARE A BETA MALE
@@LordBranniganThe he sure was the alpha when he finally beat them...and they left the arena with their tails between their legs..even Bird and Magic saw him as the alpha after he showed his true greatness at those olympic practises in '92.
Everyone wants you to be political as long as you agree with them
Ray Heffner This.
Realest comment on this entire thread.
I see what you’re saying but in this case it wasn’t about being upset bc they didn’t agree with the position. Being racist isn’t a political stance. It’s a moral stance.
Exactly look at curt schilling. He is being kept out of the hall of fame by butthurt liberal sports writers because he is a outspoken conservative.
Basically be our puppet
I am so inspired by Michael even more so for who he is off the court.
Exactly, any other former player owners? He is an example of working hard and achieving and focusing on goals.
@@GregoryFergusson he's been a terrible owner.
@TheRealist 811 his attitude is precisely why he's failed as an owner though. Different dynamic from being a player
@@MT-sk1ln Of course he's a bad owner but he's an owner and that is success for me. LeBron or Jalen Rose or one of those upcoming stars can go a step further and be owner and operate a successful franchise now.
@@GregoryFergusson Rose, lmfao... it costs billions to buy a team. Lebron maybe rose was not a great player and is not a billionare, I do like him though
This young players are lucky that Jordan globalize NBA in a new level. They can average 10ppg 8rebs 5asts and can bag 15m a year.
Yup Mister Cowherd nailed it:Mister Goat Jordan is unapologetic and is not trying to smooth whatever it is he said before. He ain't got time for that. And I think he said something great when he said "The way I live is I set the example, and If I inspire you, great. If I don't, well maybe I'm not the person for you" A lot of people need to accept that if certain athletes are not doing what you think suits you, well they are not the people for you.
Ps: I don't even want to get in the whole Athletes should not be role models, social leaders or political leaders. That's a topic for another day.
Is Lebron really Political or does he get told what he's allowed to say from Nike
China told lebron to stfu and he did.
Rosalina Pua I’m pretty sure your right about that no coincidence
Lol he's not to me. I don't agree with Lebron's views in politics but he's praised for it because a lot of people have liberal views. That's my opinion.
*allowed
Lebron has been political. Leave it at that. No one gets into sports to be political. Jordan just wasn’t that guy. Lebron is. There shouldn’t be any comparison on this point. In today’s social climate even corporations are expected to be political or have a stance on social justice.
Yeah, I hope Isiah should be unapologetic too. He likes the attention of being the guy who is being mistreated. To the point it's already annoying. He likes the attention of being the victim in all of this, as if he was never a bad person, as if he doesn't know what he is doing during the bad boys era. Isiah should follow in Jordan's and Laimbeer's footsteps. BE ACCOUNTABLE OF YOUR ACTIONS. Not make excuses. Its either you are accountable of your actions, or apologize for your actions. There is no in-between.
I agree with almost everything you said. I however would describe him as a bad player rather than bad person. I can recall he was personally involved in multiple projects for the underprivileged youths.
But yeh, he revelled in the Bad Boy image at the time and was unashamed. He definitely seem to regret that now, however there is no way of taking a lot of things back.
Respect to Laimbeer.
Jan Michael Torzar I agree fully with everything you said!! It’s sad because Isiah was my favorite player!!
Totally agree. Not sure how race got in here but both MJ nor Laimbeer accepted THEIR CHOICES to be who they were to be successful and it annoys me how Isiah is all over the place begging for likes and sympathy now. Isiah is still the most celebrated Piston on that team. He was a bad boy, he changed cool but you have a past.
junior2404 you have a point my bad. Isiah is not a bad person, I agree. He did a lot of things for the community in Detroit, especially the underprivilege ones.
Bronsexuals be like:
Ep 1 and 2 - Denial
Ep 3 and 4 - Anger
Ep 5 and 6 - Confused [getting there]
Ep 7 and 8 - Depression
Ep 9 and 10 - Acceptance 🐏
Lmao!
Haha
😅😅😅😂😂😂
😂😂😂
😭😭😭😭😭😭
MJ THE GOAT
How about he was humble enough to realize he did not have expertise to make informed political proclamations. He knew he was best in world at his craft, and did not want to shoot from the hip on miscellaneous other topics.
rich s Exactly bro..Unlike that corporate pawn in LA.
Beautiful comment
EXACTLY!!!
the way colin pronouced the word bruh was uncomfortable
Johnathan Lewis made me cringe
Imagine telling someone to endorse a politician because they have the same skin color.
Good take! Better than first takes take.
Take care 🤘
I remember coach Phil Jackson saying the samething about Kobe forcing the game so he had MJ to come in and help him with it.
Ron Harper took the defensive effort .. he went from a scorer to lock down defender
Spoken like a guy who knows a thing or two...you sir are not a "googler"
People forget that Ron Harper was a high flying scorer before he had knee surgery. Check RUclips on early Harper.
With the Bulls they needed his 'D'. That team was deep and lethal.
I don't know if any of you saw Ron Harper before his knee injury.He was the closest to MJ ( before Kobe) I've seen.Played with flair,and was one of the steals leaders.Always was a great defender.Him, Joe Dumars and Sidney Moncrief played MJ the toughest.
@@missayawk Ron Harper was their best player and indeed a beast...then there was Daugherty, Nance, Mark Price, and Hot Rod Williams, Ehlo.
That Central Division was loaded and the toughest in the league in the late 80s in my opinion... you had Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee, Cleveland, and the up and coming Indiana Pacers....the entire division was in the playoffs.
You mean both of his knees git bad before coming to Bulls.
Loved hearing from someone like George Karl
MJ really The damn GOAT
George Karl insights are awesome
i love your observation! i agree, i love that michael jordan doesn't apologize for his opinions and who he is
It's mainly in my community, black community, that we expect entertainers to be our "leaders"
What if his lane wasn't Democrat? The media and ppl that want ppl like Lebron to speak out are thrilled because he says what they want.
You think all those ppl would have been thrilled if MJ told everyone to pull up their pants and stop complaining. It's like no one has ever considered he may not say what they want.
Black entertainers are presented to black people as their leaders.
Facts bro
Johnnie Coleman explain Donald Trump, Jessie Ventura, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda McMahon none of which are my people that have held political offices.
@@geronimopratt7976 Were they pressured into political office? Or did they pursue their own personal ambitions?
you are who you are..why apologize for that? you don't become the GOAT if you aren't prepared to hurt some feelings every now and then lol!!
You speak from experience?
@@geronimopratt7976 no..i never had that killer mentality while in practise..when it rained i just stayed at home lol..talking about soccer that is! statement stands though: never apologise for who you are!!
there are still kids in third world countries that make clothing for pennies..if I follow your argument everyone that makes money over stuff that's made in third world countries should apologize, not just Mike (he didn't make those shoes by the way, just promoted them!).
Did Colin really just say bruh 😭😭💀
Lebron is not Politicaly active he just talks about stuff he has no idea about. Not very hard and not very smart.
hoochymama - your not smart “hoochy mama”
Lol
@@saldoug7467 Lebrick is a social justice warrior but wont comment about China because of his business dealings. Clear enough for you?
Well said Colin. Thanks
George Karl’s “hibernating” is code for getting high lol. That’s why he lead with ‘Denver’s such a great city...” lol I bet it is Karl, I bet it is......😂😂
Totally agree with you Collin!
Unapologetic! Yes that's the exact word to describe him. Awesome.
"....The late Kobe Bryant.." Those words will always be hard to hear
Somewhere Kevin Hart is like "Damn"
Why can't you get an interview with Jordan? Oh, i forgot. He hates Collin. Haha
Who can get an interview with Jordan besides Ahmad Rashad? Not Skip Bayless ...
Good, insightful commentary, Colin! Good context - which helps understanding the impact.
that's why we respect colin kapernick even more...
wirmandi sugriatw Kaepernick talks a big game but won’t say a word about the slave labored Indonesians working for $3 a day that make his line of products
MJ was spot on when he said Republicans buy shoes too...as soon as you get political you alienate 1/2 your fans. It's a smart move to not get into politics if that's not your thing.
B G
Republicans buy guns, not Nikes.
So just like LeBron, Jordan's interest is his money 1st. LeBron won't speak on China and Jordan won't endorse the Demoncrats or the republiklans.
What if Jordan would have endorsed Republicans. Oh the outrage that would have ensued. Keep politics out of it.
@@geronimopratt7976 when's has a reputable Chinese organization ever spoken up on behalf of African Americans? Exactly
Lol they kill me how they made it seem like all black people are Democrats.
The NBA need to be made great again, break free from the shackles of China.
China makes our products unfortunately
Mike atg jumpshooter and efficient unlike lebum
Jay-Z is probably not a good example, but I understand your point..
Right on, I don't know why ppl want to tell you that you HAVE to be active in the political stances of the world. Suppose you're not good at it and you'd rather focus on what you're good at? I have absolutely no issue with MJ not engaging in political issues. I also have no issue with you taking a stance but don't behave like you have no choice. It's your right one way or the other, choose your path! Furthermore, you don't put pressure on the average person to speak out, it's ok when they focus on their work. Once you don't take advantage of ppl, do you!
People need to stop putting these athletes on these pedestals. Look to yourself to be the change that you want to see.
Colin don't get it why MJ was criticized by ppl mainly the black ppl in political situations. MJ is Black maybe the highest level of celebrity power ever. MJ thinking I'm just know basketball, problem is that alot of black ppl wanted MJ to use his likeness against racism. In which MJ dont know how. I believe if MJ had an Ali in him he would but MJ didnt on that side of the fence and that's where black folks failed. Putting all our eggs in these black celebrities basket. When a person doesn't have a clue, we tell them to shut up like Barkley. Same time why get upset at MJ for not speaking when he really cant... he'll end up sounding dumb. At least MJ said about the running candidate.. I dont know him to speak for him. You have some ppl like Diddy and JayZ that goes out and they end up being dumb as hell. If an athlete wanna speak and got the knowledge... do it. But if u dont shut up
Colin answered this question from the perspective of why are athletes expected to participate in politics. The problem is there are blind spots that exist Within white people and so in a situation like this he ignores the fact that it was for a black politician not just a politician and that Michael Jordan being a black athlete and one of the most influential black people in the world being a black man has a certain unspoken duty to his people. And when you are black and Rich and influential and you do not use your influence to help your people you will be criticized.
Mj: bets millions per hole of golf
Colin: so he gambles a little
It's a little to MJ might not be a little too you. Its just like these rich white kids blowing money on drugs.. heyy 🤷♀️
There were 84 comments before mine. I was born in '84. Michael Jordan came in the league in '84. *PERFECT SYMMETRY!!!*
Chris Broussard had a better take, when you're not replaceable you have more leverage not less.
Everything is more. You have more leverage, sure, but you also have more to lose
Man, everybody is replaceable. Guess what, if Jordan had died or something had happen to him. Guess What? That machine that's call the NBA. It's going to keep rolling. Look at all the stars that's come and gone. They're gone and the NBA is still here!
@Michael L Well Jordan a gambler right?
@Bernet Jackson Ask the bulls in 2020 of Jordan was replaceable.
I thought George Karl passed what the hell
Yeah, scoring 40 points when the highest team score is 87 is a different experience to see as a kid. The way defense was allowed to be played then, you had way less shooting opportunities, way less space. I love the game today but look at the highlights of MJ vs a James Harden. Look at the amount of space and contact between the defender and the ball handler. To score a third or a even half of your team's points when tough physical defense is the norm, you gotta be the man.
Colin "My CEO friend" Cowherd
Colin, you’re wrong here. It’s not easier for average basketball players to speak up. It’s very easy to cut an avg basketball player for speaking up; but it’s impossible to cut a Michael Jordan. His risk downside is “maybe” losing an endorsement. Another avg b-ball player’s downside is being out of the league.
Plenty of athletes move to Florida were no state income tax so actions speaks loud
It's also the hurricane path so they are taking big chances... its northern states with less issues that have no tax.
Ali is the real Goat everyone else is just a speck on Ali's mantle.
More ceo talk
by Colin 🙄
Who are you?
Denis Rodman is a "unique" personality. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, Idk bout y'all, but corporate America talk will never stop to make me laugh.
He admitted his selfishness. He had a chance to make a difference but he chose not to. Good for him. So refreshing.
I think colin sld be mikes attorney
Michael Jordan he did donated not he said that he would and on top of that his mother was going to do a aid if not did it for the candidate that was running In NC
You either reprimand jordan for being apolitical or we give props to bron for speaking his mind
Apologize? For what....
U notice he doesn’t bring up lebron, mike never had a voice , many kids looked up to mike and he didn’t give back..
🤣🤣🤣
Are you still talking and spreading false lies?
We saw how much spine the current crop has when it came to China.
So basically, Cowy, you’re saying, “Republicans buy shoes, too.”
No, what he's saying is true...MJ didn't owe the public a political stance and he has a right to live his life on his own terms.
Most people watch sports to get away from politics. Also the people who want Michael to speak up would be even more upset with him if he didn’t share their political viewpoint.
Knicks took the bulls to 7 in 92 and then 6 in 93.
How Lebron get so much credit for being some sort of stand up guy for the black community? What has he sacrificed or had to give up? Kapernick is the only in recent years to that next to Ali
@G C you have got to be joking.. LeBron does so much for charity have you been living in a cave? Your comment lacks a lot of thought.. do your research before you comment & it's not mandatory to comment so if you don't have your facts in order just watch the video & go to the next one..
colin knows that he is ignoring the real issue, but i guess lets all continue to do so...
In the African American community there aren’t a lot of successes. So when we do have one at the scale of what MJ was, he could have made a large difference when it comes to the advancement of other African Americans with his presence and power .
This is an expectation in our community it’s that if you “make it out” you should try to visibly help others ... it’s hard for you maybe to understand , but this is why the backlash from the community. Not saying it’s right or wrong but it’s definitely a black white thing.. that’s why you have the questions you do.
Respect to MJ for sticking to his guns. But this is precisely why Ali - in an age before spin doctors, brand endorsements - transcended his sport, and finally every sport. There's never going to be someone to knock Ali off that perch as the greatest athlete of the 20th century, the century that birthed athletic super stars; I think people were so excited about Michael's rise that they hoped he'd do an Ali. MJ wasn't interested then, doesn't seem interested now. He is as consistent in his apolitical-bent as Ali was political.
To whom much is given much is required even Michael Jackson before he died chose to speak out truth should be more valuable than money and worldly things it's all vanity
Wrong!
what they believe in is nobodys business.. sometimes you need to stay in your lane. I dont care if you're anti Trump cowherd...
Criticizing Jessie Helms would not have hurt Mike. Helms was pretty reprehensible. Granted there were obviously people who supported him and there are lots of people now who share Helm’s politics. But in the grand scheme of things, probably 70% of the country would disavow Helms now.
I love ali, but he wasnt perfect, the way he criticized frazier was down right disrespectful, closing another black man in front of the white audience just struck a nerve with me
Bobby moore
I was ALONE as a kid when I didn’t like how Ali treated Frazier who was supposed to be his friend.
nothing wrong with activism but just know what you're talking about
You don’t have a right to choose your lane because if your a black athlete; your lane is chosen, expected and demanded by the public that you speak. In easier terms; if you’re a black student in history class, the teacher and class will expect to hear your opinion around civil rights. It’s about perspective.
Why you have to support politicians just because...
Right, wrong, or indifferent... It's very easy to be liberal and outspoken in sports and media.
Politics have invaded almost every part of human life. There was a time when asked, what your political side was, the answer was " non of your business" I respect people who say, non of your business, I agree, if thats you thing, go for it, if not, leave them be and mind your own, and not theirs, don't bring them into your empty life of dirty politics.
Michael is a BILLIONNAIRE.stop acting like he can't afford to take a stance, CHUMP
He didn't have to be political. I just believe he could have directly impacted the economic issues in the black community he chose to build his wealth. No problem. But then his company(Nike which he has no say) directly target the black community with the shoes. That's my problem wit Jordan.
Get over it buddy.
@@marcosramirez1515 Over what
@@marcosramirez1515 of course u would say that u and your family can just climb back over the wall
And I bet you think Obama did all of this?
Patrick Spruill he did a lot of stuff that maybe you are not aware of, just like most peaople didn’t even know he met with kids from make a wish foundation before every game. It is easy just to say that he just chose to built his wealth, without knowing what he did or didn’t do for the community.
Did you know he donated his entire 2001-02 NBA salary to 9/11-related charities?
Jordan created the infrastructure that allows these current athletes in the NBA to be worth 8, 9 figures and not have to worry about what they say. Also I'm as liberal as it gets but saying milk toast liberal points like lebron james isnt unpopular and isnt putting.him in risk of anything. Ali , Jim brown, bill Russell, kareem those guys actually where risking stuff
LEBRON talk sht about the president lol
You REALLY like Michael Jordan huh🤔
I really really REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY like *MICHAEL JORDAN!*
*WHAT??*
If u love basketball then of course you like MJ
Colin Cowherd says it was good that MJ shut up and dribbled. But that's the difference between MJ and LeBron, he doesn't shut up, he stands up and takes a position on racism. *Muhammad Ali* didn't shut up, he stand his ground, they couldn't break him, thats why he is the real *GREATEST OF ALL TIME* !!!
Yeah he was representing those companies. But what if he said he wouldn't sign with them if they didn't put jobs and resources in black communities. He was the franchise they couldn't drop him. He could have singlehandedly changed a whole community. If he wanted
Its not hes job to take responsibility for grown adults. People need to take personal responsibility for their own lives.
@@grandcanyon2 mind your business. Only reason u have an interest is because someone is speaking on the behalf of Black wealth is the only reason u have a problem. As most other non black people do. So zip it
MJ the face of the NBA, where is the black coaches and owners.
It’s funny how Colin would use mj not being political against him, but now it’s ok. Colin biggest flip flopper ever
Mike don’t give af about black folks but we love him 🤦🏿♂️
Fact 🤷🏿♂️Republicans buy shoes too MJ
Eugene Reeves
No sir
Nope
The problem with colin and the rest of the talkn heads, they wont criticize mike, im sure he did bad things
Yeah whatever, Bill Russell is the GOAT
1:05 As usual Cowherd only looks at one side of an equation. To say that it's "easy for average players" to take political stances, or they have nothing to lose is just false. If you're an average defensive back or shooting guard, and you're persona non grata in the league, especially American football, it might mean 5 figure earnings instead of 7, and possibly exile from a sport you've spent your life working on. That may not matter to you, a talk show host, but it matters plenty for the guy losing it.
It never bothered me that Jordan didn't publicly support candidates since it wasn't who he was. If he were politically active in college like Kareem and then shut his mouth once he started making money it would have been one thing. But to say he had everything to lose and some nondescript player loses nothing is idiotic. For a figure of Jordan's caliber, he could have lost sponsors, and not all at that. If you're famous enough, and somebody respects you, one sponsor may drop you and another is just as likely to pick you up.
Not to make this total racial thing. But white in America well never understand why so many African Americans wish he would've said something. Because he was and still is able to get in rooms most African Americans can't get into. You cannot belittle that.
Yeah! Thank You for the lane comments. Because Uncle Tom Shannon Sharpe make sure we as blacks should know our lanes to stay in a no matter our black success
Say it. Black peoples think you owe them something. He stood up and he didn’t want to stand for political bulshit
Everybody you named was White
Today 99% of players could be politically active by not endorsing Trump. But that's too easy.
The same way 99% of black players endorsed Obama back then, publicly or not. For me it would have been a braver public choice to not support Obama. But players rather stay quiet.
Ali was political, and he remained the greatest of all time. Colin, do you not have the right to be yourself? Do you get owned by the big corporations? Is that what you are saying? Jordan should have been political, he had that responsibility. With great power, comes great responsibility. It is undeniable. Now, did he have to be political, NOPE! But people will look at him differently for not using his voice in ways that he could have and should have. It is unfortunate but yeah, when you are a big start, a celebrity, I am sorry but that all comes with the territory. Some say that parents are role models, yes, but it is an automatic given when you are on television, when you have followers, fans, it is your duty, whether you like it or not. That is just how it goes. Jordan is the GOAT! I am a huge Jordan fan, but that is the one thing that I wish he could have done and have more say in many other things.
Is ok not to be an activist.
Helms was a segregationist who continually voted against MLK day, standing against that would have cost Jordan nothing. Jordan is from the the South so he knew the deal here, his feigned ignorance on this issue is embarrassing.
No, it's not because he didn't owe the political world anything. I'm not a political person and I will never change my stance.
Does anyone expect Trump to attend NBA games? Jordan was committed to basketball. He didn’t want to waste time on our stupid political system
It his dam money. Colin you joke, that why I don't watch you, period
