I would think that even if MJ believed that to be true, I think it's a little disrespectable in a sense to call them that in public when in fact they are all in the foxhole with you. In other words he went out of his way to seperate himself from his teammates when he didn't really have to (People already acknowledge he is better without that)Just my $.02. Respond to me PM if you have anything further to say. No disrespect.

It would make my day if Michael Jordan ever referred to me as his supporting cast, but that's probably why I'm not in the NBA.

I disagree. Everyone knew they are the supporting cast. Whats the first thing Artest did when he won the championship? He thanked Kobe for putting him on. The know the leader of their team. They know who the leader is. If I think I'm better than Kobe(and I'm not) then I would be cool. Mike is mike lol.

However, If I'm Kobe and shaq's calls me his supporting cast, I think you have the right to be upset.

Exactly. It's a metaphorical comparison. Not a big deal. Anyways, back on topic................

If you check out some old MJ footage you will see how pretty much he was the team.

Breaking News:
The truth hurts.

MJ told the truth. The truth hurts. We have indeed become a nation of wussies. It's like with kids: I absolutely hate when a kid who rides the bench thinks he's gonna be a pro athlete, when a kid who hates school and reading swears he's gonna be a lawyer, and when a kid who makes Ds and Fs in science just knows he's gonna be a doctor. We're too soft; instead of being real with these kind of kids, we tell them they can become these things. If an actor is THE star of a movie, he should have no problem referring to his co-stars as his supporting cast. Same goes for MJ...

Yeah, but we still need to dish some asists along with the scoring.

The challenges that require us to score 60 plus with Mike are going to be really, really tough for me. With 12 minutes I knew that I was going to have a difficult time accomplishing those goals, with 8 minutes I may not be able to get it done.

I'm like pathologically adverse to shooting with any player more then 25 times in a game. In all the years I've been playing basketball games, I don't think I've ever even scored 40 points with any one player.

I'm going to feel guilty hoisting up 40, 50 shots with Mike, even when I'm using that scruby 1986 team, lol.

No news on whether or not we can change quarter length?
