As a college player, Michael Jordan was mediocre. In highschool, he was actually cut from the basketball team. Does that inspire you?

He was not cut in high school. He did not make his high school’s varsity team as a sophomore. He played junior varsity that year.

His high school coach was said he knew he would be a good player but was raw and would play more on JV.

And no, he was not mediocre in college. Game winning shot in NCAA championship game in 1982 and National Player of the Year in 1984.

@luckranger71 Didn't make it, cut, the same thing. He didn't make the team. Game winning shot in NCAA doesn't make anyone a great player. A lot of mediocre players have made game winning shots. Jeremy Lynn for exmaple.

@SW-User Well it’s actually not the same thing, but your mind is made up.

Yeah, his college career was so mediocre he won player of the year, was invited to play on the 1984 Olympic team and drafted 3rd overall. 😂. Troll harder.

@luckranger71 He won player of the year in the third year. As I already said, I am referring to his first year...

@luckranger71 Plus, I don't give a shit, I'm not going to argue about Michael Jordan or how good he was. He was a great player. All I'm saying is he wasn't always Great. Now, stfu. YOu're 46-50. Wtf are you trying to argue with me about Michael Jordan? I don't give a shit. Okay, you want me to say it: you know all there is to know about Michael Jordan and I know shit about him. Okay, I've said it, now stfu.
