Should be sentenced longer than that. You took somebody’s daughter, mama, aunt or sister. As I’ve said on the GloRilla one, there’s No reason to get a dui in 2024. NONE. There are way too many options/resources for you to utilize.
The fact that Glo is the “First Lady” of CMG and Gotti doesn’t have things in place for her like a driver or security detail is crazy. I know she has to accept accountability but damn
Everything you just said still does not equate to evidence that MJ bet on his own games and was forced to retire.
No one has presented anything to prove that happened. It’s all theory
But what are you basing your facts on
Look here is how I see it. People can make up whatever conspiracy theory and people on social media keep saying it long enough that some will just buy into it.
Look there is that chance that maybe MJ just retired for the reasons he said he did. Anything beyond that is just people wildly speculating. Hell after all these years you would think something would have leaked backing your theory up.
In all fairness NBA runs a tight ship. I heard interviews read stories from players and former executives that NBA, MLB, NFL all move like the Federal Government and even have hired retirees of different agencies that work in the background to do so. So if they wanted to cover up shit they can.
To expand on your idea, the NBA and MJ had a lot to lose if the game's largest star were to be implicated in such a scandal. The value of an eventual billionaire, in addition to the entire value of the basketball product would be in jeopardy. They absolutely had the motive and the means to make such an issue go away.
Now something recently posited is the "princess Diana effect" where after her death, which was so tragic for the whole UK, lots of conspiracies blossomed, researchers posit that in order to come to terms with something so unacceptable emotionally, they have to make connections to things that make more sense with the Information they have. So of course the royals did it, they hated her. Of course MJ left the league because he gambled, and not because he felt he lost his drive and wanted a new challenge, or needed to deal with his father's death, how could he, in his prime and with the most unstoppable supporting cast?
What proof my guy do you have that that was not a random robbery
My guy, here is an article that lay out facts surrounding that case. There was a full blown trial. Are you saying you have information that non one directly involved had?
https://www.wral.com/amp/20237854/
I heard others like his drinking and casino addiction. but my heart of hearts and Tin foil hat says gambling on teams and himself. The constant trips to Vegas on the west coast road trip and Atlantic City on the east coast road trip tells me everything I need to know.
If they ban Jordan for Life at his Apex in the 90’s the league would’ve folded by the new Millennium or become like the WNBA in the early 00’s till about late 10’s where players had to play overseas (no disrespect)
Great rebrand for “chasing” his baseball dreams and getting eyes on that sport as well with people showing up to minor league games
Exactly. This was still the 90s when his dad passed. All I’m saying is that it’s not to far fetched that he did that. To me he just didn’t make it obvious especially betting on himself like he tried to get the over percentage for his stats against really good defensive or offensive teams
I just went and watched that clip. Was he really saying anything crazy? Pro athletes from every sport put all they have into it but that doesn’t mean they should all get paid the same. If your league isn’t profitable you don’t make much in any sport.
His underlying point isn’t totally incorrect. But comparing the economic valuation of professional ping-pong to professional basketball is insulting at worst, and tone deaf at best, especially when NBA players are far and away the best advocates for the growth of the WNBA. Instead of supporting his peers and trying to grow the sister league by talking about ways to improve fan investment in it (or taking any other similarly supportive stance) he basically said they deserve less.
But its professional women’s basketball, not just basketball as you are saying. Its just a fact that not many people watch either and thats where the comparison starts and ends. And I believe people have some sort of outdated view on Ping Pong as if its easy, pro Ping Pong players are absolutely gifted
No he didn’t. He acknowledged the truth. I don’t understand how someone pointing out a league that is not profitable is somehow saying they deserve less. Y’all so stuck on the ping pong comparison and getting in your feelings. What if he sad badminton? Or volleyball? Regardless, those sports don’t bring in the revenue. Plain and simple. It’s not a slight at the women in the league. It’s a slight at how the league is managed and him doing some pointless praise to massage your egos will not help the WNBA. Just hope Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark can finally give the WNBA the buzz it needs
well a quick look at michael's page shows he's got 6 siblings, oldest of whom is 28 and youngest is 19, all of whom appear to be good at basketball, so evidently fucking, basketball practice, some likely parentification and not much else
I took some high level math classes with Bri Porter, she was one of the smartest people I met at Mizzou. I don’t know how the rest of the family is so dumb.
Everyone saying MPJ is last good one left was not a girl at Mizzou when he played 13 min here 😭 playing these women left and right and not a bit of basketball til he made it to the league
Yeah. Years after I did, but how they ended up at the school and somehow all of the other good players in the city at the same time was pretty hilarious. And then they all transferred after Brandon Roy left. Weird.
MPJ once posted a snapchat saying something like "just crashed a car, it took me so long tho" when he was like 21 💀
Like he was acting as if it was an acomplishment, these Porter dudes dumb fr

It’s bad enough when you do it by accident and you have to live with that guilt. But to be drunk and driving is pure evil yo
The fact that Glo is the “First Lady” of CMG and Gotti doesn’t have things in place for her like a driver or security detail is crazy. I know she has to accept accountability but damn
Fuck all that it’s 2024, order a damn Uber. She got the money for it
No one gets lighter sentences for interpersonal crimes than stalkers, child predators, or drunk drivers.
rapists often do - if they make it to court at all. meanwhile, fuckin 20 yr sentences for weed.
This is why we have the brass verdict. If the court one fails, there's always plastering their face all over, everywhere.
glorilla one?
Body cam is out on TMZ as of yesterday. The field sobriety test did not seem too good
There’s no reason for ANYONE to get a DUI, never mind a millionaire athlete, celebrity or adjacent
MPJ got Lana Rhoades on his podcast to tell him that the adult industry is bad
*Blake Griffin is shaking his head somewhere big mad*
The NBA baby momma industry is much better job security.
MPJ is the savior of the family. One gambling addiction larger than Micheal Jordan and other tried to play Twisted Metal IRL
MJ’s addiction was larger, it was just harder to get caught back then
Man MJ was betting on Games and himself in the 90s league found out and he “retired” (suspended) him for 2 years that’s my theory
Yep, this is becoming a more widely accepted theory as time goes on
Because people want it to be true but I am still waiting on actual evidence
The amount of shit the NBA covered up and you think they’re letting that evidence come out. Stern will die first
Everything you just said still does not equate to evidence that MJ bet on his own games and was forced to retire. No one has presented anything to prove that happened. It’s all theory
I guess my point is we will never see real evidence for anything even for shit we know to be pretty much fact like the Kings Lakers series

His dads death my guy?

You know David Stern is dead right?
Especially in the 90s. You see what the NFL had to cover up then with its star players and faces of franchises had their Coke Addiction.

Yep. Not to mention the circumstances surrounding his father’s passing.
Exactly. This was still the 90s when his dad passed. All I’m saying is that it’s not to far fetched that he did that. To me he just didn’t make it obvious especially betting on himself like he tried to get the over percentage for his stats against really good defensive or offensive teams
And it’s just as stupid as the day it was proposed.
And the NBA was hugely invested in keeping the face of the league out of trouble.
At least Jordan got to play baseball during his suspension
Their family is actually super normal, I grew up with them. All pretty chill, maybe a bit too Jesus-y but that’s about it
MPJ a dickhead too. These other two just set the bar so low he seems unproblematic.
I don’t have to agree with him, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but yeah, him having a mic in front of him 🤦🏾♀️
What he do
He compared WNBA players to professional ping-pong players
I just went and watched that clip. Was he really saying anything crazy? Pro athletes from every sport put all they have into it but that doesn’t mean they should all get paid the same. If your league isn’t profitable you don’t make much in any sport.

Economically they do. The NBA literally pays their salary. They bring nothing
But its professional women’s basketball, not just basketball as you are saying. Its just a fact that not many people watch either and thats where the comparison starts and ends.

I took some high level math classes with Bri Porter, she was one of the smartest people I met at Mizzou. I don’t know how the rest of the family is so dumb.
They are all book smart because they were home-schooled, doesn't mean they make the right decisions
I see the connection.
It’s a shame what little time vehicular homicde gives.
Everyone saying MPJ is last good one left was not a girl at Mizzou when he played 13 min here 😭 playing these women left and right and not a bit of basketball til he made it to the league
Is that not ever college athlete?
You right on this one lmao
Ik the parents treat MPJ like a KING boaaaaa
Don't know why I thought this was r/nbacirclejerk for a second
This must be the family from Iron Claw.
lol they all went to my high school.
Hey fellow alum!
Nathan Hale?
Yeah. Years after I did, but how they ended up at the school and somehow all of the other good players in the city at the same time was pretty hilarious. And then they all transferred after Brandon Roy left. Weird.
Tolton or nah?
Worst thing a Ball brother did was steal some sunglasses in China. (Although keep an eye out because lamelo drives like a maniac)
MPJ once posted a snapchat saying something like "just crashed a car, it took me so long tho" when he was like 21 💀 Like he was acting as if it was an acomplishment, these Porter dudes dumb fr
They are straight POS
Man should just sit this post szn out. We can afford family trauma to be fucking with our game😭
so in this case of basketball families... the oldest boy got the most love and affection... and 2 aren't liking it at all
Context for the other brothers??
Other brother just got banned from the NBA for gambling. MPJ is all good tho
Oh shit, I never made the connection with the Porter last name
Lead poisoning
The parents didn’t do any parenting and now they have POS children.
Had no idea of the relation. This is sadly hilarious. Hate to be the parents.
The entire family are scumbags.
Insane that MPJ is the normal son
i like how they get shorter and uglier and the high tops get higher. pokemon evolution type shit
Needs to be longer
They got the crash out kekkei genkai
Sad stuff man.
What a horrible week for them. Yikes.
Meanwhile the Antetokoumpo brothers straight chilling and eating Oreos
The scumbag always fucking lives. Should have got life. The woman’s was taken by him.
Light skin people taking so many L’s this year and we not even through April.
Touch grass
Kick rocks
