Jordan turns 50 on Sunday and ESPN seems to be giving it wall to wall coverage like he's some kind of deity. Anyone out there tired of it already? (We still have two days to go, too.)

Nope. There should be more. Most of the programs on ESPN are garbage anyway, glad to replace them with some MJ.
I'm not old enough to have ever seen Bill Russell play, but I'd assume his footage isn't as visually appealing and TV friendly as Jordan's.

I alway said I would pick Dominique Wilkins over Michael Jordan any day

nope, i love it.

Yes -- I wish they would give more coverage of other All-Time greats.

I think it's great stuff.
Some great retrospectives & some of the interviews have been pretty awesome.

I'm tired of the Lebron hype more to be honest
-
Yeah I'm sick of the Jordan stuff.
I was a kid when he was playing and doing well probably like kids like Lebron now.
Now that I'm older I'm just sick of him and just see the same things in him that I see in Kobe and Lebron to make me dislike them.
Man it must have been frustrating back then to see Jordan get the benefit of the doubt on every single call like Lebron in the present day. It just taints the league IMO although I know people will defend it to the grave.
-
I'm sick of hearing he's the biggest competitor and no one wanted it more than Jordan. It's like you ever hear of Russell? Lol
-
Meh...more annoyed with the Lebron/Jordan comparison and "debate"
-
Yes I'm tired of it and no, he's no Russell... with that said, I'd rather hear about him, than the endless stuff about LeBroid!
-
Of the 7 people thus far who voted that he is no Bill Russell and seem absolutely 100% certain that he isn't as good as Russell, I wonder how many of them ever saw Bill Russell play a single game. My guess is 0.

This and they talk about it every single day. How many times can you ask the same question and debate about it? How many times can you ask Michael whose better Kobe or LeBron and debate about that?
I had to change off of ESPN because that was all they talked about like there's nothing else in basketball to talk about.
-
Tired of the Jordan hype?
Tired of pointless polls that don't know how to use radio buttons :P
-
Nobody cares if LeBron is as good or better than Jordan. Like he said, he's LJ, not MJ.
-
I am.
No doubt an amazing player and yes probably the best to play. But some act as if there has never been any other dominant players. And Jordan fans love to talk rings, what about Russell?
And yes, as others have said, players will have to be compared to Jordan for the rest of time (like LeBron) and people will say things like "he couldn't do it alone like Jordan did" when Jordan played with great players... it's just so fabricated and not based in fact anymore.
That's what bothers me most. The same thing goes on with Kobe (as if he wasn't playing with a legend, Shaq, to win most of his titles and was the team's second best player).

Gimme me Larry in his prime anyday.

Is that really relevant? Nobody's ever seen that Jesus guy (100% sure), but a couple billion people believe in him. Ya know?

A lot of people nowadays have never seen Jordan play a single game either, what's your point? WIll he be less good another 20 years from now when all the younger people will say Lebron was the greatest ever?

The point was pretty clear.
