ugh!
Padilla walked into the Nats' clubhouse for the first time and said, "My God. I'm in heaven."
Yeah, well MJ was/is the biggest competitor....
always used slights or perceived slights as motivation. He could have …and probably should have been more gracious in his speech.
However, it was really nice that he asked David Thompson to introduce him …good shout out for Thompson who was the one MJ patterned himself after.
Also, part of the problem is that MJ really didn’t want to be inducted into the Hall of Fame yet. he’s not mentally prepared to admit hs career is completely over.
Still was kind of bad speech.

Easily the greatest athlete ive ever seen. His games v the Lakers are still something I love to watch and remember.
But i guess that’s the price to be the best…

I still watch the game when Carolina won that NCAA championship in 1982...
always afraid I merely dreamed that Jordan hit that last hot…and when I wake up, they didn’t win the championship.
Every time, I’m on the edge of my seat until it’s over. Weird, huh?
One of the really great things about Jordan was that he was such a good defensive player as well as a high scorer. No way the Bulls could have won all those championships if he hadn’t been such a good defender.
