The Regime Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 One of Michael Jordan's defining characteristics during his heyday as a corporate pitchman was his ability to preserve his polished image by never saying anything remotely controversial. Central Florida guard Marcus Jordan, however, doesn't seem to have inherited that trait from his father. As Kobe Bryant struggled through a nightmarish first half in Thursday night's decisive game of the NBA Finals, Marcus decided it was the ideal time to weigh in on the frequent comparisons between his father and the Lakers star. Here's what Michael's youngest son Tweeted late in the second quarter: http://a323.yahoofs.com/ymg/ept_sports_ncaab_experts__16/ept_sports_ncaab_experts-777513601-1276878841.jpg?ym5PTUDDGRRO7P0o http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/blog/the_dagger/post/Central-Florida-s-Marcus-Jordan-Kobe-s-still-no?urn=ncaab,249378 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owner Real Deal Posted June 19, 2010 Owner Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 He was saying this based on Kobe's poor shooting, when his dad shot like garbage in one, and bad in two other close-out games in the Finals. 1996 Finals Game 6 vs. Sonics: 5-19 (26%)1997 Finals Game 6 vs. Jazz: 15-35 (43%)1998 Finals Game 6 vs. Jazz: 15-35 (43%) Strong performances there. I guess his dad was "jagging" games, also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess his dad was "jagging" games, also. 1996 was prob the only HORRIBLE year, the 15-35 isnt so horrible, its a lot of shots but 43% is a FAIR percentage, and Kobe played bad because he obviously wanted to copy Jordan, so they can both have a bad game in closing out a series, MORE EVIDENCE!

Guest STL10 Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 How can Kobe be like MJ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xx. Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 (edited) Marcus Jordan didn't need to come out and say this, anyone with common sense and good basketball knowledge knows that Kobe is no MJ. Edited June 20, 2010 by xx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
