Guitar we all get where you were coming from. I caught your MJ reference and am a huge fan of both MJ's talents though Jordans god giving talent far surpasses the king of pops. Jordan did it on his own and was great beyond measure even to this day nobody has gotten close to him. Michael Jackson had Quincy Jones guiding him and producing his albums who made a huge impact on his career. I guess you could say Pippen was Jordan's Quincy Jones but to me Jordan would have been a once in a lifetime phenomenon regardless of who the other players on his team were. Plus being great at a sport like basketball at Jordan's level is even tougher than being a great dancer/singer/songwriter like Jackson was.

I really liked Michael Jackson and I honestly dont think he did anything sexual with any children. I think he was emotionally stunted for whatever reason and had so much money and power that he could isolate himself with young kids and act like a child himself even though he was a grown man and that is very creepy but I dont think he touched kids. Yeah I think he was really twisted but a pedo he was not. I also hate that he had to go though the accusations that he did. That hurts I am sure if your a normal guy who is innocent but I am sure for someone who was so fucked up mentally that he viewed himself as a child I am sure it really fucked with him. The dude was a great talent who should have had an amazing life and I am sure parts of it were for him but I also feel like he was a very sad man who suffered greatly. Regardless of any of that he was an amazing talent also but not anywhere near the level of Jordan. Jordan is a beast and every person who meets him should bow at his feet and offer their gratitude.
