In case you missed it yesterday, Michael Jordan gave his induction speech at the Hall of Fame ceremony.
Part 2 here and Part 3 here.
Alot of mixed reactions to the speech which is to be expected. Certainly, Jordan comes across as brash, arrogant, even condescending. Adrian Wojnarowski at Yahoo!Sports called it "petty" and "a bully tripping nerds with lunch trays in the school cafeteria." If MJ weren't involved with the game of basketball today, then it wouldn't necessarily have been so bad. But the main problem with the speech was that it does nothing to help him in the now, as a basketball executive. He should have been thinking of himself as a representative of the Charlotte Bobcats, rather than attempting to capitalize on this brief spotlight to snark on past slights.
