I admit Jordan was the best “of his time”. But he couldn’t play in the NBA today. All those offensive fouls that he pulled back in the late 80′s early 90′s wouldn’t fly now. He would be fouled out immediately.
What I can’t understand is Jordan and Kobe have so many scandal’s going on, how are they still so well liked. Jordan having many more then Kobe of course.

Really Kurt? If Peyton Manning is the second most popular athlete, how can you spell his name ‘Payton’??

Jordan is still the man.
Watching some high lights on ESPN is not enough to understand how good he really was.
If you were lucky enough to see him night after night, year after year then you know what he really was.

I was fortunate to have seen him and Walter Payton play in person and old films do not do them justice.
