Jordan didn't trash talk much, but what he did is take every single slight he heard from any opponent and use it to fuel him to beat that guy. It got to the point where he actually made up stories about someone in his head so he would have reason to want to crush them. Plus he really did trash talk his teammates and drove them incredibly hard. Some actually hated him, but in the end most knew the rings on their fingers were all because of Michael. I'm sure someone else has already mentioned it but the documentary "The Last Dance" about The Bulls final championship run and primarily about Jordan is as great a sports doc as you will ever see.

The reason Michael Jordan retired to go to baseball is his father wanted him to play baseball more than anything growing up and they had talked about it before his death. He was so close to his father that he just felt it was something he had to do. What helped at that point was he was burnt out on Basketball. 3 nba champions, olympic gold, he never did anything but win and he was bored.

Some guys who train hard to build themself up and to be come better players just go too far and kind of outsmart themselves.

"The Flu game." A lot of people didn't know this at the time, but what they really think happened was that the game was in Utah, and MJ had a few people in his room playing poker. Jordan said he was hungry and decided to order a pepperoni pizza. The pizza was delivered to his hotel room, and he asked if anyone else wanted some of the food. No one else ate it and Jordan ate the entire pizza. Later that night Jordan called the Bulls trainer at like 3AM and told him to come to his hotel room he wasn't feeling well. By the time the trainer got to the room Jordan was lying on the bathroom floor in the fetal position. They believe someone from the restaurant used expired food or put something on the pizza to make him sick, knowing that it was going to Jordan in order to try and help the Utah Jazz win the game.

Eh problem with Michael Phelps is that he won the most in swimming, but Spitz won the most that was possible to win in the sport when he won -- there weren't as many medals in the 70s / as many events. It wasn't possible to win as many as Phelps won back then, so that's more of a conversation of eras. But with Jordan, other players have had chances (and even have won more championships), but it's more about the overall stats and accolades combined, and how good he was overall, not just how many he won.

It was to Chicago's advantage that the NBA Draft was held before the start of the '84 Olympic Games, had the draft started afterward, MJ probably would've gone first in the draft. IMO, if it weren't for the Dream Team with the Big 3 legends, it probably would have taken longer for the rest of the basketball world to be where they are now. Yeah, the Dream Team was too good for any team to compete with, but it's that greatness that propelled the foreign stars of today to be as great as they are.
