Owned<\/a>: owner of the Golden State Warriors Joe Lacob\u2019s feelings are hurt when Michael Jordan is on record saying that the recent record-setting 73-win season by the Warriors doesn\u2019t mean (shit) because they failed to win a championship<\/span><\/p>\n

Classic MJ here.\u00a0 Absolutely refuses to give credit to anyone that did something better than he did, and in this case, it\u2019s the 2016 Warriors that trumped his 1996 Bulls, by winning 73 games.\u00a0 But Jordan has a point here, because although the Warriors broke his Bulls\u2019 72-win record, they failed to finish the season like the Bulls did \u2013 with a championship.<\/span><\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t matter if you make it to the NBA Finals with 73 wins or 48.\u00a0 If you fail to win the Finals, all the wins prior to it are rendered completely meaningless.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So point to MJ for verbally obliterating the Golden State Warriors by saying their 73-win season didn\u2019t mean shit because they failed to win a championship.\u00a0 He\u2019s 100% correct with that statement, because when the day is over, championships are all that matters, and not how many regular season wins an organization amasses.\u00a0 I mean, look at the Utah Jazz who have pretty much won 50+ games every year for the last half-century; they always get in, but as sure as the sun rises, they get bounced and they do not win a championship.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even in the defeat of one of his hallowed records, MJ still comes out victorious in the war by discounting the accomplishments of the Warriors with one simple radio interview.\u00a0 There is nobody in history who has ever poked the beehive known as Michael Jordan\u2019s competitive nature, and has actually escaped unscathed.\u00a0 The man\u2019s competitiveness knows no mercy, and it doesn\u2019t matter if he\u2019s now 53 years old, he will always find a way to put an opponent on a poster.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a great example of just how soft the NBA of today is compared to the NBA of the past.\u00a0 MJ emasculated the entire Warriors organization and got away with it, scot-free.\u00a0 Letting a 53-year old has-been verbally disrespect and take a steaming dump all over a record that broke a record that was thought would never be broken, and instead of shooting back, admitting that it hurt.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I mean, look at Shaq and Charles Barkley, who were debating on national television over Barkley\u2019s feud with LeBron James; and when Shaq tries to tell Barkley that he would fight him over that kind of shit said to him, Barkley doesn\u2019t wait a single second to tell him that he\u2019s a bad fighter<\/a>, and is irrelevant.\u00a0 That\u2019s the kind of heat and killer instinct that existed back in the day, compared to the softness of the NBA today, like a wet sponge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The NBA on NBC theme<\/a> had meaning, and there\u2019s a reason why it isn\u2019t used any more today; because today\u2019s NBA doesn\u2019t deserve it.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
