Focus on sports/getty images

JM: [Chuckles] Well, I had a couple Ishiya [Thomas]. This was won in the early 90’s and won in 1989 and was repeated in 1990. I went there for something, Piston began to collapse completely, and went there to talk about it. Ishiya confronted someone in the parking lot the day before. I can’t remember exactly what it is, but I want to talk with him after practice, and he ‘Yes, but I don’t want to talk about what happened yesterday.’

II said that it was okay, I started talking with him, and the interview was so well that I didn’t want to talk about it, but when I asked about it, we thought we were good at being in the corner of the gym and I was going to Ishiya. Yeah yeah, I knew. And he said, ‘Well, why did you ask me about it?’ And his voice continues to grow and grow, and finally LAIMBEER We came between us and arrived between us. After that, I thought he was correct [laughs] In any way. Okay, we agreed, but you are a reporter. You will always do another shot. Because someone knows how many times someone has said, I don’t want to talk about it, and I wanted to talk about it.

It was one, and I had one with Jordan. I was talking about him during the story, and we were here, in the late 80’s, and he brought a child and child. And I didn’t know that he had a child. I go to the game that night and PR people say: Michael expects you not to write about his child. ‘And I was holding this child, but I won’t put him in the closet.

I made him too bad for him to show me the child and thought that he didn’t have a child, saying, ‘Hey, you can’t write.’ It was not moral to me, and it was just a kind of report. He told me not to write and I wrote it. And he was very angry. But I think something is happening. And I think that what it says is the difference of most times. These were the largest stars in the world as well as sports. And they understood them all. I have a relationship with people who are better than others, but I think I understand that it is part of the yin and the quantity. There were good things, there were bad stuff, you had to use bad things and could get worse for 1 minute, but life will continue. I think you are you who are covering things right now. I think you are harder than us. Is that my guess?

You take Jordan, the most powerful man in the sports world, and it’s a battle of Innetitniti. LeBron was his company since entering the league. He understood it. I got it. is it so. I do not cut him. Jordan did not. He needed the necessary sports illustrations, and it was a very symbiotic relationship. Well, who do you need Lebron? He does not need anyone. I mean that he doesn’t really need a league. [chuckles]

I was so lucky that I didn’t exist. I mean that the dream team is 1992. When I came back to study a book in 2011 -Sports Illustration came once a week. I did not even have an internet column and I was writing once a week because I didn’t have the Internet. If the team exists now, there will be 2 million posts a day about what they are doing, what they are doing, what they are doing, and who is angry with. It did not exist. There was a world where you could feed. Once again, it was a pretty lucky product.
