#TBT The legendary @msdebbieallen and I in "Michael Jordan: An American Hero" back in '98. What an honor

Wemby is the created player we all made when we were 10 LOL

Your first mistake is thinking people react to facts. They react to what the facts threaten inside them. A truth that wounds status will be treated like an attack, even when spoken calmly. The wise man studies the ego first, because logic enters only where pride feels safe today.

You can’t fake influence @Nas 🐐

If you get talked about but never confronted, your energy is powerful.

@MindHealthMaker Sounds like it requires a lot of energy...in which case they're still getting supply...as opposed to indifference and dismissiveness

Manipulating the manipulator by acting manipulated is literally my favourite thing to do

Allen Iverson was the best player in the NBA in 2001. I see so many graphics that say Shaq (no question one of the greatest). And they're wrong.

@Prettybtchsht Flipped that line to work in your favor - props LOL

My mama use to say hard head make a soft ass now look at it just jiggling 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@dbarton85 @JuggernautBron Exactly! It was a double whammy losing Horace AND having him give that production to the opposing team. He left because of Krause (and Jordan lol) and proved how valuable he was to the Bulls in that series

@JuggernautBron horace grant killed the bulls in the 95 season he is the reason the bulls lost and magic won.. so what do the bulls do.. they go get rodman who avg 12pts and 16 reb with elite defense and also horace grant was hurt and didnt play in the 96 series..

MJ wasn’t rusty in 1995. He didn’t have an elite rebounding, defending big and he couldn’t get the win without one. In game 1 against the Magic in 1995 MJ had a 2.6 GameScore. It was a horrible game. One of his worst. In games 2-6 he proceeded to have a 25.3 GameScore (33.4 pts, 6.8 rebs, 3.8 asts, 5 stocks). This 5 game stretch is significantly higher than ANY of MJ’s playoff series from 1996-1998 outside of 3-game 1st round sweeps in 97 and 98. Please read that again so you understand. That’s right, MJ played better / produced more from games 2-6 in 1995 round 2 than at any time in his final 3peat outside of the 97/98 first rounds So how come the Bulls lost? It was because they finally faced a team that could compete with them. They didn’t have a massive talent advantage over the Magic. The Bulls didn’t have an elite interior presence. MJ fans are so hell bent on him never having lost “once he got going / in the 90s” though that even when MJ plays great and loses, they have to say it was rust. It just had to be rust! But it wasn’t. Data says no. 95 was the only time MJ faced similar talent in the 90s. And he lost. Even though he played really well. His dominance in the 90s had a little to do with his play and ALOT to do with his teammates. 🤷‍♂️

@Bigdawg_Fly It looks like you listed them by year but probably #1 or #2. The Message might be the most important song in hip hop history

@DereauWIP True, i thought about the message too, but where would you rank it though?

8 SONGS THAT SHIFTED EVERY MAJOR ERA OF HIP-HOP❗ 1. ​Rapper's Delight: Sugarhill Gang (1979) 2. Straight Outta Compton: N.W.A (1988) 3. N.Y. State of Mind: Nas (1994) 4. California Love: 2Pac (1995) 5. In da Club: 50 Cent (2003) 6. Jesus Walks: Kanye West (2004) 7. A Milli: Lil Wayne (2008) 8. Marvins Room: Drake (2011) Prove me wrong.👀

@ZMacMami This is such a dangerous and counterproductive way of thinking. But then it's profound too - the super low percentage of business ownership is the #1 reason for our lack of collective wealth

I really want black people to stop thinking everyone should be business owners. Just because I can make dinner does NOT mean I should open a food truck or restaurant.

@MythNix @TheVoiceOfCOD1 Even worse than throwing his teammates under the bus, he nearly ended the Bulls dynasty before it could even start. Had they did what he wanted they probably don't even 3 peat. He could never select personnel

@TheVoiceOfCOD1 @DereauWIP At some point, even YOU know it’s about YOU.

Mofo you’re on drugs! That statement proved that you know nothing of basketball history. The “migraine game” was Game 7 of the 1990 NBA Eastern Conference Finals! SEVEN YEARS PRIOR!! We are done! You didn’t the heavy lifting for me.

@TheVoiceOfCOD1 @MythNix I'll try it this way - the '91 Finals put the league on notice. From when that 1st ring was won to 1998, Scottie Pippen was essentially a top 5 player in the NBA. For 7 straight seasons. Some of those seasons (92, 94-96) he was in the top 3.

@DereauWIP @MythNix I gave you objective information. You choose to call it “subjective.” That’s on your educational background. I’ll help, here’s pictures to go with the words. Next you’ll say it was some conspiracy I imagine.

@TheVoiceOfCOD1 @MythNix LMAO!!!!!!!!!!

@MythNix @DereauWIP Stop! Where’s the criticism? Waiting. Not there. We talked about “media” earlier. Take your own advice.

@MythNix @TheVoiceOfCOD1 Yup. You have your subjective opinion you're clinging to & we have direct quotes, evidence and facts. When you put em on the scale your side in the air LOL. I'm not talking regular season. Pippen became a top 5 player during the '91 playoffs & by the Finals he was #2 in the NBA

@TheVoiceOfCOD1 @DereauWIP He couldn’t generate MVP votes when his own teammate was saying he’s just part of a “supporting cast.”
