Premium MemberEighty-nine This Month

  
     89 this month, the Bulls’ owner has no clue
        who to trade or what to do

     The product out there now on the floor
        worth less than a syphilitic whore 

     Gave away the team’s brightest stars 
        rest of the league’s passing out cigars 

     Made Old, Slow Joe Biden look sharp
        He should have left with MJ* – at the top

     Jerry Reinsdorf, if you don't call it quits
        At you, Bulls’ fans are itching to spit 



     *Michael Jordan, who left the Bulls back in 1998


Premium MemberWhere Mister Gilbert Arenas Can Go

Mister Gilbert Arenas tweeted that 'no one will care'
  if Nikola Jokic, two-time NBA MVP at 24, becomes the heir
    to players like Michael Jordan, who played with some flair

  'Jokic's not cool enough,' says this Mr. Gilbert Arenas
  Well then, Mr. NO MVP OR TITLE EVER WON ~
    You can just go and stroke your pen...(al thing) for us

Premium Member'heroes, They Ain'T'

They're great scorers, undeniably true
   So many thrilled to their game-winning shots
Made millions off the game, and Nike shoes
   Projected diplomatic personas ---
                                 they were anything but  

Michael Jordan, 6 Rings, Greatest of All Time
   A trash-talker, who spewed venom and slime
Kobe Bryant, 'the assassin,' apologized for sexual assault
   Confessed what he'd done, yet admitted 'no fault'

Both were driven to greatness, couldn't stand to lose
   A path fraught with danger, whenever abused
Jordan turned to gambling; Kobe suffered no fools
   With their fame and their fortunes, they could play fast with the rules

Charles Barkley, Jordan's rival, observed, "Heroes, we ain't!" 
   ~ Consider it well, before anointing Kobe Bryant a saint

Premium MemberMichael Jordan Really Cared

There once played a Chicago Bull
To spellbound fans, a stadium full
His name was Michael Jordan

He jumped above the rim so high
It seemed his head might touch the sky
His dunks were legend

He made his team into world champs
Impressed on it his signature stamp
A fist-pump in the air

Yet more than all the points he scored
More than all the memories stored
Jordan really cared

He posed for photos with his fans
He'd set aside his private plans
He stayed humble

He'd just show up, a huge surprise
The kids would gape, wide-open eyes
Their tongues a-jumble

He'd play with them, and praise their moves
Then thunder-dunk, as if to prove
He's number one...

The years have passed, yet we recall
His majesty when he played ball --
And all the fun

Premium MemberGoat -- Or Goat

Michael Jordan, number twenty-three
Greatest of all time, that ever be?
  He and his Bulls were sure 'a-rambling'
  Till he ran afoul of his penchant for gambling
