This was a terribly written article. In an article about Jordan's acceptance speech there was only one quote that I can find. This one (directed at his family)... "I wouldn't want to be you guys if I had to," he said as they squirmed in their seats. Other than that, nothing. Was he just playfully ribbing people? Was he outright insulting them? I have no idea after reading this article. (For the record I wouldn't be surprised if Jordan is a prick, many great people are coughSteveJobscough)

You can find the speech on YouTube. I watched about half, and thought it was nowhere near what was characterized in this column.

  The media had nothing else to write about . . . they decide to make it into a "Jordan is still bitter and disrespectful" show. If you've been competitive in any sport, you recognize how Jordan worked, What made him tick. So he used anything slightly negative as a motivator. If you listened to the beginning of the speech, he was walking us through things we never knew about him.
