I've always felt that the real best don't need to ever say anything about how great they were. I never heard Jim Brown say it. Or Gretzky. They usually just saying nothing. They can say it about other new players after they retire, like when Sampras called Federer the best ever. Sampras didn't say this guy is the best since me. He said he's the best.
I'm not denying whether Jordan was correct in what he said, though I've often wondered if he had played the bulk of his career in the 80s instead of the 90s how many rings and MVPs he'd have. Does anyone really think that those Bulls teams with Magic or Larry instead of Jordan would have lost to the Suns, or Jazz, or Knicks on the way up. Shit, they were one game away from the finals with no Jordan at all.
But that's beside the point. The issue here isn't greatness. It's class. A great player that needs to toot his own horn is either self consience or just plain classless. Ok we get it, you're the king. Why rub it in?
When a reporter once came to Elvis and asked what the King of Rock and Roll thought about something Elvis said Fats Domino is over there, and then went on to praise him. That's class.

other than nik has any other laker fan really made a big deal outta of it, no. Even nik didnt make that big of a deal outta it.

To Daygo, NIK's opinion=opinion of every Lakers fan. It's just easier for him to think that way.

If you want to read my post again (will be pretty easy since its quoted right here), it says "Kobe dickriders". Is that you? You making a blind assumption is not my fault.
Not to mention, if anyone makes an opinion against the Lakers that you have a problem with or think is ridiculous you have no problem arguing it. When NIK makes some ridiculous argument for the Lakers...youre nowhere to be found. Leading any reasonable person to believe you agree with the bullshit he says lol

Because I didn't know. I'm not the big Jordan fan you think I am. The argument we had was over his star power as it compares to other athletes. I was never a fan as a kid. When Larry retired, Pat Ewing was my guy. Jordan was just the fag standing in the way.
