Look MJ is an old man and he just beat the #2 overall pick in a pick up game. Logic dictates he had some kind of help

Everyone knows that Stern asked MJ to leave basketball in 93 because of steroids, not gambling. Sorry Simmons.

MJ retired in 98 because Krause wanted to bring in new medical staff that knew nothing about steroids and would snitch if they found out

Why is anyone even arguing if MJ did steroids after all the evidence that has come out? You're going to feel awfully silly when he does his Oprah interview.

The most constructive thing we can do is debate what this means for his records and try to adjust them to make fair comparisons. Honestly, if you adjust his production to account for this his stat line is going to end up comparing favorably with Joe Johnson or Rudy Gay. Not bad, and pretty good for the era, but by no means the GOAT

Anyone who doesn't believe MJ did steroids needs to read The Jordan Rules. Sam Smith is the most well connected and respected journalist covering the NBA. He practically wrote a drat treasure map to Jordan's steroid use. Do you know that His UNFAirness requires all testers to let him have a "special assistant" in the room when he does a drug test because of his "fear of needles". He got out of a drug test in game 1 of the 92 Finals against Portland because his "special assistant" was out of town due to family matters. The tester protested and MJ got him fired. That shrug? It was Jordan just mocking everything because of what he was getting away with. He kept pushing the envelope though. The ECF against the Knicks in 93 he intentionally tanked for 3 loses and tripled his dosage for Game 7 so he could have a legendary performance. He was getting so blatant and reckless that Stern kicked him out for 1 year

Seriously, can we make it a requirement that anyone who wants to argue about this subject read The Jordan Rules first. Talking with people who haven't read it is like trying to talk about 9/11 with people that haven't seen Loose Change or Zeitgeist. The loving facts are right there, don't be blind.

Is it any wonder why all these steroid tests are happening now, after MJ is out of the league and in control as an owner? His competitiveness is legendary and since now he's an owner who has influence over league policy, it wouldn't surprise me if he started encouraging a crackdown so guys like Rashard Lewis and Hedo Turkoglu can't threaten his records

Jordan didn't do steroids because the NBA is loving rigged a hell so no one botherss.

True fact.

Not rigged. It's just that you have referees who are 50+ years old trying to keep up with the greatest athletes on the planet in their prime. Old people can't even drive cars on country roads correctly.

What I'm saying is that the referees need to juice.

Finding a source for this stuff will be hard. It's all been pieced together by tribal stories, observations, and random quotes/stories from news papers back from before the Internet existed. By having this thread we are finally creating a digital record and collection of all these facts.

Agenda 21 has an entire section about putting steroids in drinking water so that the lower class becomes super strong subservient workers who do manual labor at the bidding of the ruling elite or super athletic basketball players who entertain said elite.

Little known fact. EA Sports requires all employees to submit to random drug testing. Employees include anyone who works on or appears in any of their games. That is the real reason why Jordan didn't appear in an NBA Live game until long after he retired.

So you're agreeing with me that it was done because of drug testing and the licensing stuff was just a cover

Bilderberg is just another name for the Illuminati and New World Order. If you listen to Alex Jones, then you're already aware of the NWO elite's desire to turn themselves into immortal supermen that travel the cosmos. Clearly MJ is one of such elites. What happened was the NWO developed, in secret, new Ubermensch steroids and MJ was given these steroids for a real world test trial.

Spacejam was an attempt by the NWO to get the populace scared of aliens from outer space and demand the government begin funding space defense programs. The elite would then use this as their way of entering space and developing advanced space travel technology.

As you can clearly see, MJ is a key figure in many of these Illuminati plots.
