Do I know Jordan?.......well...uhh.....maybe I DO!

Fabricated? I think that his sweat shops, gambling and womanizing have all been well documented then quickly hushed up.
But its OK because if it werent for him, Martin Luther King would not be a household name according to La Machine!

Well now you're just outright exaggerrating.....

Dude, I will spell this out for you one more time. Michael Jordan was the FIRST internationally known American black billionaire entrapeneur. He opened up the MODERN Money market for the black man. That is truth. You can make jokes and try to be sarcastic all you want (which is starting to get real corny), but that's a fact. Spike Lee wouldn't have gone anywhere if there wasn't a Jordan to do his Nike commercials and help rake in money. Remember he had NOTHING before Jordan asked him to direct those "Look Ma I can Fly" series. I guess that doesn't mean anything to you because you probably don't understand how racially lopsided the entertainment business was in the 80's....and yeah his sweatshop scandal is very disappointing and he's probably an asshole...but you act like he's Stalin or something.....he modernized entertainment on a global scale, which may not be as admirable as a Nobel Peace Prize or a Medal of Honor, but fuck it's pretty impressive...and worthy of headline news.
And if you STILL are too proud to at least admit that then you are a chode and I will not discuss it further.

Now I'm goin to watch the Bowl and pray you expand your mind a little.....
