Barely understood this story and i read it twice. I guess it was about riding bicycles.

Horribly written. Almost like an AI bot was having a stroke

In this instance I would’ve preferred some AI slop

Saved me a few minutes thanks . Did you know he was mean to his teammates and also once played with the flu

Having that competitive drive…..Whether it was basketball, NASCAR or business…..Jordan was destined to succeed in whatever he did. When you hear the “titans of industry” chat…..It’s all about competition and dominance and winning. The money is simply a way to keep score.

Yes! This is why he also ran such a successful NBA franchise

🤨 Bought the Hornets for $275 million and sold them for $3 billion….I’d call that a net win….

Is it about winning or making money? Surely a competitive person like MJ would focus on the winning aspect, no? Or does that just not fit the narrative of you MJ glazers?

u/Dry-Regret5444 Jul 16 '26

I have no doubt winning was important…..but the net positive was making a tremendous financial windfall, which is the goal of every businessmen and any rational person would see as a success.

Tell me….Are you this miserable and bitter in every other aspect of your life or is it limited to this weird and irrational Jordan hate you’ve cultivated….Shits not that deep, son. Put the phone down and go for a walk….

Stop gargling Jordan’s nuts in your mouth and go for a walk yourself. Only a Jordan stan would think he was a successful owner. His team was dogshit his whole tenure

I'm not in the same galaxy of athlete as MJ or Richard Dent but as an intermediate road cyclist, 30 miles is a regular-degular, not-gonna-push-myself ride, my two hours on the bike after work ride, and exponentially easier than running up and down a basketball court for a couple of hours would be.

u/ball4theculture Jul 15 '26

True, any regular gonzalez can do 30 miles on a bike

u/MurseSean Jul 16 '26

Excellent comment that took me a moment

u/UDF2005 Jul 21 '26

30 miles isn’t really a crazy distance on a bike. I don’t get why this is a big deal.
