Michael Jordan vs. Will Perdue and Steve Kerr
MID 1990s
Michael Jordan connected on two punches with [white] teammates that, um, left their marks. The first came in 1991 when former center Will Perdue set off Jordan badly enough that Jordan hit Perdue in the head. [Perdue didn’t “set off” Jordan. Jordan simply took it as his prerogative to beat up Perdue, because Jordan was black, and Perdue was white. And they were teammates at the time.] Both apologized [why would Perdue apologize?] afterward and Perdue joked that "no permanent damage was done." He realized it might have been resolved differently if Jordan had been the one hit in the head. "I had to realize who I was, and who he was," Perdue said. [Exactly.]
The second came in the 1995-96 season when a frustrated Jordan unloaded on former [sic] Bulls guard Steve Kerr, leaving Kerr with a black eye. "I was Chuck Wepner. He was Muhammad Ali," Kerr cracked later in an interview.
[There is no record of Jordan ever beating up black Bulls teammates.]

Common perception is that Michael Jordan was the model teammate. It will tell you that he excelled at building his teammates up and bringing out the best in those around him. Nothing could be further from the truth.
One incident has Michael Jordan riding Bill Cartwright on a particularly bad night for Cartwright.
In the locker room Michael Jordan resorted to trying to embarrass Cartwright in front of the team. He was offensive to the point that afterward, Cartwright pulled him to the side and said
"Look, if you ever do anything like that again, you will never play basketball again because I will break both of your legs."
You probably never heard about that though, because MJ can do no wrong.
Another incident includes an actual physical confrontation with [battery on] a teammate. The Bulls were in practice when Will Perdue laid a hard screen on Jordan. Imagine someone playing hard in practice!
This did not sit well with His Airness. He was infuriated to the point where he felt it necessary to punch Purdue in the face. Yes, you read right. To PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE.
Imagine if you will, an article comes out tomorrow that features a story about Kobe Bryant punching Pau Gasol in the face because he set too hard of a screen at practice.
Imagine LeBron James punching one of his nice guy teammates in the face like say, Zydrunas Ilgauskas. Imagine what the initial reaction and backlash would be if this happened once...now multiply it
Not only did Jordan get physical with Will Perdue, he also felt the need to punch Steve Kerr in the face! Jordan and Kerr were known to have two different opinions on the Collective Bargaining Agreement that was being voted on.
Kerr was a Players Union leader while Michael wanted to dissolve the Union. They had many heated discussions about the subject. One day during a practice, Steve Kerr was guarding Jordan.
Kerr was reportedly playing tough defense on Jordan- too tough for Jordan's liking. So much so, that he felt the irresistible urge to punch Steve in the face. And he followed through with it.
A Model citizen indeed. Not once, but twice did he feel that it was excusable to physically attack his TEAMMATES.
You can imagine the reaction to anyone that was considered the face of the league today (Kobe, LeBron, Durant) attacking their teammates. Everyone would have a field day crucifying them. But not so for His Airness... his reputation gets a pass.
From: Michael Jordan “outraged” over reported Donald Sterling comments

Jordan on Donald Sterling:
“I look at this from two perspectives – as a current owner and a former player. As an owner, I’m obviously disgusted that a fellow team owner could hold such sickening and offensive views. I’m confident that Adam Silver will make a full investigation and take appropriate action quickly. As a former player, I’m completely outraged. There is no room in the NBA – or anywhere else – for the kind of racism and hatred that Mr. Sterling allegedly expressed…. In a league where the majority of players are African-American, we cannot and must not tolerate discrimination at any level.”
[Who the hell does he think he’s kidding, and why does anyone take him seriously?]
Who could ever forget Rudy Tomjonovich, (spelling?). I saw it live, I have never forgotten it, this occurred circa, 1976.
ReplyDeleteI forget who the negro was that punched Rudy, but it should have served as a wake up call to all whites.
I would not be surprised if that clip is on YouTube somewhere.
If you wish to look it up, I spelled Rudy's surname phonetically, it was pronounce Tom John o vich.
I too was sad to see one of our own pulchritudinous white women take up with the negro Michael.
I find it hard to believe she could not find a white man who could bring/give her, her happiness due.
White liberal ideology, not worth the price of admission, not worth the time of day.
White liberal ideology, the ideology driving the white gene pool/race into extinction.
From the Sanctuary, and still holding strong against white liberalism and the negro invasion of our white culture, and gene pool/race, I'm PDK: Thank you.
It was Kermit Washington who sucker punched Tomjonovich. There was an altercation on the court that neither was actually involved in but Tomjonovich, like all the players, ran up to the scrum, Washington saw him coming out of the corner of his eye, spun around and threw a punch, the intertia of Rudy T. running forward and the punch was so much impact it nearly killed him.
ReplyDeleteWashington has never completely acknowledged responsibility, most he has said is that he should have been man enough to walk away (What the hell does that mean?) or that he reacted because he grew up in a rough neighborhood where you fought to survive so when he sensed someone coming up from behind he just reacted. I don't buy that for a moment, he saw a white face coming from behind and reacted, that's why he threw the punch, since most players are black on the floor is it just coincidence the guy what white? I don't think so. Plus, if the violence of his hood made him react instinctively then may it should have been a black face that set him off. Weren't black guys the ones he was fighting with back in the day?
Mr. Washington is full of crap.
I've noted a high disproportion of black on white attacks in the NBA. Look up Darryl Dawkins sucker punching white player Bob Gross int he 70's. It's on Youtube. Great thing about that was Gross was being held from behind by several 76er players, one was Doug Collins (white player, racist black sympathizer), Gross saw Dawkins coming and ducked, the punch hit Collins instead. Yes, there is sometimes justice in this universe.
Watching Dawkins throw a sucker punch is nothing different than we see today, he couldn't face Gross like a man, even though he was twice Gross's size (small forward).
Also, two other players I noticed over the years get in physical altercations only with other white players, never black ones, are Kareem Abdul Jabbar and Shaquille O'Neill. Now I haven't seen every game they've player and there may be some exceptions but I can guarantee that's true at least 95% of the time. I recall Jabbar taking exception to Bill Walton's defense one time and trying to fight him, or Shaquille publicly threatening white centers who dare to play him physical and tough (Greg Ostertag from the Utah Jazz was one such). If you watch the NBA you will note there are black players who are equally, if not more so, physical and dirty with their play on the court but the Kareems and Shaq's don't try to fight them. That's because they know there's a greater likelihood black players will hit back. They also praise black players who play "physical", call them tough and gritty or crafty - white players are called "dirty". The media collaborates with this nonsense by promoting those racist stereo by putting it into print.
Another thing to note: All the black players I mentioned married or have (mostly) relationships with white women (some married black early on but most eventually moved exclusively to white women), I wonder if there is a correlation with black men who pursue white women and their racism and hatred toward white men.
Wouldn't a white man who expressed hatred toward black men (or if it was in any way interpreted as hatred) but had relationships with black women be considered a racist? Why do black men get a free pass?
Didn't I just describe what happened to Donald Sterling? Assuming his young girlfriend is actually part black as I have read.
Why do whites keep giving lots of money to freakishly large hostile racists who bounce a ball?
ReplyDeleteI don't get it.
NS looks like one of your "gift" is to draw the R-word faster than your own shadow. If Michael Jordan punches some white players than he can only be a "racist" even though reports indicate there's no bad blood between the players.
ReplyDelete"“I disagreed with him one time,” Kerr said with a chuckle. “I think he punched me in the face.”
That disagreement happened during a scrimmage at training camp when Kerr took offense to something Jordan said, and he didn’t refrain from expressing his true feelings.
“It was one of the best things that ever happened for me, I needed to stand up and go back at him, I think I earned some respect. But we have a great relationship ever since… you gotta prove it and then once you prove it, you’re fine.”

Better yet Michael had in the past a fight with Black player Reggie Miller does that make him anti-black ? Of course not.
As for Michael Jordan's wife he was married to a black woman before and his current wife is Cuban-American so not fully white and if she was isn't everybody free to marry whoever they want without being judged ?
Always at the front row to play the race card.
Ya, good post Anon.
ReplyDeleteI remember Rudy getting punched hard as he ran in to grab the other white player near the negro.
The sucker punch was thrown so hard, so perfectly timed, that it shattered Rudy's jaw. I remember the negro watching Rudy come in and just unloading.
I have heard from semi-pro white players that negros are dirty players against white players. This is par for the course for everything negro as far as I have seen in my own life.
It is unbelievably horrible that so many of our pulchritudinous young white women would prefer a negro buck over a white man.
A lot of that is liberal ideology forced upon our white daughters.
Horrifying, monstrous and alarming.
FTS, I'm PDK: Thank you.
Well well well, the curiously-named "AgainstPC" doesn't like whites playing the race card.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that just too bad.
Get used to it.
BTW, "Snoop Dog" is far more racist than the old Jewish guy. Where's the outrage??
The freedom to marry who you choose.
ReplyDeleteIf John boy, puts a gun to your head and says your money or your life. And further, you give him your money. Did you make a free choice?
I say no, you were forced to surrender your money.
It is no different with our white sons and daughters.
White liberals have always hated anyone or thing, the government, fascism, totalitarians or dictators telling them how it is going to be. They were for liberty.
Until they achieved their superiority, and now it is their way or face their jackboot arm and fist policy of liberal persecution to crucify in one's social and economic world.
Ask Don Sterling about his right to privacy or his first amendment rights.
Our white sons and daughters are being pressured by this wrongful policy of white liberal ideology to marry outside one's own race.
This is just like the concept in the movie The Manchurian Candidate circa 1951 with Frank Sinatra.
The liberal ideology is in pursuit of the extinction of our white gene pool/race.
If one cannot see this, the myopia reflects the lack of courage to defy white liberal ideology and therefore one thusly becomes part of the problem that is driving whites into extinction.
Further, these myopic personalities then pretend, to themselves and the world, that they are morally superior, and this cloaks the truth, that they then do not see their own cowardice.
If the slide down the liberal ideological helter shelter continues, we whites will go extinct.
I hope you get to read this sir. This discourse is so good you could take it to the bank.
I should charge for these reflections of reality, but no one wants to pay me for this.
Say how much do they pal Al Sharpton for his highly accurate reflection of reality.
From the Sanctuary, looking for the nearest soup kitchen, I'm PDK: Thank you.
@ The PDK:
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's because racial demagogues like you are not of their type. Clarence Thomas' wife is not liberal she's affiliated with the Tea Party. So no it's not 'liberal ideology'.
I'll be at the NBA All Star Weekend Next year 2018 www.AllStarWeekedLA.com maybe I'll sucker punch MJ
