His addiction? Winning.
LinYouToo agreed. He just wants to compete and win
Nah it was a addiction
Addiction??Probably not, because people with real gambling addiction usually end up in poverty no matter how much fortune they have.
that's like saying someones not an alcoholic because they don't have cirrhosis of the liver. you can be a functioning addict in anything
He didnt have a gambling problem or an addiction. That's a slap in the face to peolle who are battling real addiction. I watch tv when I get home from work, almost every night. That doesnt mean I'm addicted to television. He was doing nothing wrong, it was a media created controversy.
Nah he had a gambling problem
@@The_king567 Nah its just media hype. Gambling does not = Gambling problem.
@@joedawg713 not true jordan clearly had a problem with gambling
I mean it is apart of him and his personality- he didn’t care if it was 20 dollars or 20k like he said he wanted your money in his pocket.
Its his money. He can do whatever he wants with it
Its not big deal..if its illegal...you should close all the casino in vegas...
For all the people calling this "a slap in the face to real addiction," it's important to remember that addiction is a spectrum. There are plenty of functioning people with alcohol or gambling or cocaine or food addictions that don't destroy their bodies/lives/relationships that completely. You can be addicted to something and still function pretty well, especially if you have other meaningful pursuits that feed you. Jordan was fortunate to be mega-talented at something he loved, if dude had been a mediocre or bad player (or pursued the wrong career) what is a functional addiction could have been much worse.
Compare to ither addictions, Cocaine addiction is completely destructive no matter how you put it. That's why Jordan refuse to join the Chicago Bulls Cocaine Circus as a rookie.
His addiction was winning. It’s his money, he can do whatever he wants with it. It’s not like he was bankrupt from it. He was the most competitive athlete to ever live and a super winner. Most people can’t wrap their heads around that
MJ said he can stop gambling. He can't stop competing though.
Addiction sounds worst then problem
Sawftmore Slump
You genius. You can be addicted to iced tea but it wouldnt be a problem
A guy who owned 2 NBA teams the Washington Wizards and Charlotte Hornets , kind of hard to believe. He must have won lots of his bets then.
Who cares? At least he wasn't accused of rape like Kobe was.
Correction. Last All Star Game For MJ he donned a Wizards Jersey.....
In addition to celebrating the birth of his first grandson, Rakeem Michael Christmas, Jordan has now donated some $30 million over the last five years to activist projects, including $5 million to the National Museum of African American History and Culture, at least $3 million to hurricane relief
7 million donation for the two hospitals he built in north carolina.
I heard from a Chicago resident that he would get letters from kids in struggling situations and send money to those families. He doesn't publicize all his good deeds
@@faison514 Lebron has a 2 hour press conference for everything he does . He wants to make sure everyone knows about it.
@@faison514 Cause he's a man, he doesn't seek attention like that. Not to mention if he did they would just claim he is exploiting the community for brownie points. Or to misdirect from his gambling narrative. Transparent agenda.
I forgot what interview it is and who was getting interviewed, the guy said MJ donated his whole salary to 9-11 victims, directly, and doesn't want to leak it to the public esp the media as well as another philanthropic activity he did where he gave donations to 23 other foundations. Well, they still leaked of course.
The Make-a-Wish foundation spoke highly of MJ being a partner for more than 30 years. Imagine being the biggest man in sports going to houses of children despite his busy schedule and refusing to get the publicity.
There was even an instance where he brought a kid, a burn victim, to the bench. The security people said it's against the rules. MJ pushed through and you would see him approach the kid from time to time, talk to him, high 5s, giving him Gatorade...
It was definitely just the competition of doh was gonna actually win the bet
50k to MJ is like $5 to many people. If you bet $5 every week I don’t think it amounts to a gambling problem, but because it’s 50k those who don’t have that amount to throw around may view Jordan’s behavior comes from addition.
I agree, Jordon was making at least 50 million a year, including endorsements, it’s all relative.
Had?
Then Why is Pete Rose not in the Hall of Fame?
S Winn Cause Pete Rose played baseball?
PASS THE DAMN BALL CHARLES SMITH!!!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh I looovvvve watching that. Albert's play-by-play goes perfectly with it.
Why is his "retirement" and the death of his dad just ignored? We know why these things happened.
jamie t that’s probably next episode
They’ll get into it next episodes
Brady just donated hundreds of thousands of dollars during this pandemic what about Jordan?
Why don't you google it dumbass?
@@ConservativeVanguard listening to rap music to feel hard ? Haha
Brady also had a MAGA hat in his locker, is he some moral hero now? Foh
Pocket watching🤦🏾♂️. One of the symptoms of bitchassness.
@@ConservativeVanguard 🤣🤣
Had? How about has. The only difference with Jordan is that he can't spend all of his money.
Otherwise, he'd be like any hardcore addict who loses his house, his family etc. Hed be the guy picking up discarded tickets off the floor of any OTB hoping someone threw away a winning ticket by mistake.
You're an idiot. If he couldn't afford it he wouldn't be doing it. You people are addicted to creating fake issues out of thin air.
