Other than Jordan being an egotistical dick... it didn’t. But he’s without question an egotistical dick lol. If he EVER struggled to back up his talk, he would not have the reputation he has, he was the TO of basketball, but with jerry rice talent/production.
Lol what? Punching teammates in the face during practice, staying out all night gambling, cheating rampantly?
It is also widely speculated that MJ’s father was murdered as a message regarding his debts which triggered his hiatus from the NBA.
The fame certainly went to his head. I think Lamar has different makeup but it would be naive to think it’s a sure thing that Lamar will always be as humble as he is now.
