MICHAEL JORDAN NOT A BIG FAN OF SPORT'S YOUNG GUNS
Published October 21, 1998
MICHAEL JORDAN is interviewed by Tom Zenner in MAXIM
and says that the NBA's young players don't try to learn
more from him because "most of the young kids are assholes.
And that's because of y'all. The more media coverage the
kids get, the more money they get, and that's when they
become assholes. They won't let coaches tell them how to
improve." Jordan said young players "look at my success too
much, and they think they can take shortcuts to get it."
Jordan: "For example, the North Carolina kids came [to
Jordan's basketball camp outside of Chicago], and they were
the worst I ever had. I'm not (expletive) kidding. They
didn't want to do any work" (MAXIM, 11/98 issue).
