Players call Michael Jordan a 'hypocrite'

Nick Young, Paul George, and Klay Thompson? Whocares what these 3 have to say. MJ probly doesn't want them wearing his shoes anyways. He's an owner now, not a player.

They Can Never Be You, Bro.

It's business.

Now MJ is the one paying and he wants to keep more of the money.

He is an OWNER now. He's doing the same thing he did as a player ... making as much money for himself that he can. Don't hate, buy a team!

That's why the threat of a Players League is so laughable.


When placed in a position of ownership, they'll screw the workers too.

He is a hypocrite. After he drew over $40 million per season for his last 3 seasons in the league (not counting that half a**ed Wizards mess) he now wants to reign in salaries. This guy has no honor.

If he drew over 40 millon a season....he was underpaid. Don't hate on MJ. He's done more for the league than anyone.

Youhave been watching to many cartoons.

Um, Klay Thompson? And WHO is that exactly? Everybody is looking out for their own interests. That's how negotiations work. Sounds like you could have used that extra year of college, buddy, cause you have a lot to learn...

I'm not sure why so many people are hating on MJ here. I agree he's a lame GM, and a lame businessman. But if your business is making losses (for whatever reason), you look for EVERY opportunity to keep costs down. He's just doing that. So why is he a hypocrite?

Sure, these three clowns can quit wearing MJ shoes (so should all the fans, that way sports stars actually get the message that it really are fans that keep them rolling), but calling MJ a hypocrite is kind of being a hypocrite, at least in this case.
