I heard he asked to be rushed to the nearest children's hospital...

I was watching the 1995 Playoffs VS the Magic's and remembered how much I hated Horace Grant. Horace Grant - i hope you burn in bball hell
a human being who may have been attracted to little boys
i’m not happy he’s dead, but we shouldn’t treat him like a saint either
by Basketball Smurf on Jun 25, 2009 5:19 PM CDT up reply actions
Well still dunno if he did or not I really didn't follow
I don’t think its treating him like a saint to not disrespect him.
no disrespect to the dead
but i think its funny that people are so against saying negatives things about people when they are dead, but are willing to make their lives a living hell when they were alive. I mean, no one had any problems calling MJ a child molestor when he was alive. Somehow, I think those characterizations hurt more when he was breathing.
I’ll always be thankful for Billie Jean, Thriller and early 80’s michael

Dont forget
he’s made a song with the real MJ too!

Yeah I was actually just messaging someone about that
I heard so many M jackson jokes in high school it wasn’t even funny; literally the jokes weren’t funny. (people love him more outside of the US I think got a statue and everything)
I won’t be surprised to see a lot of people paying him a lot more respect now.
I dunno its crazy most probably are like that because of their religion. Sometimes morality but it doesn’t take much I think to be remorseful for someone who died. So it gives me the impression that some do it because thats just the way it goes.
I don't know...
what the purpose of condemning someone for an attraction to kids, particularly if it has largely been supported that he never acted upon it. This all seems more oa media invention, converting his eccentricity and preference for the company of children as an adult into some type of fetish, when it was simply a man stuck in adolescence.
He was a great performer who was created by the most grotesque aspects of our entertainment industrial complex and then crucified by the same people who used him sell enormous amounts of products. There is nothing more simple-minded than arguing from the flaccid immaterial position of moralist without purpose or substantiation.
I am pretty sure he went through puberty.
No matter how much fun kids can seem to you, as an adult you shouldn’t be cuddling with them in bed and having sleepovers. If that is what you are attracted to and how you get off perhaps just plan on never getting off again and just avoid kids. Kids shouldn’t be used like that no matter what your personal “needs” are.
Everything I post is speculation. I have no insider information nor ideas deemed concrete enough by those who are self-elected to regulate post content.
There was no use by anyone.
You have an underdeveloped understanding of human psychology; if someone never develops past a particular point in adolescence, they ARE NOT AN ADULT. Do not conflate a legal conception of adulthood and a socio-psychological conception.
Um, the guy was sexually abused
Whatever judgments you have of him should probably be left private.

but i had a feeling the HNIC would ban me

I guess Michael's been too far out of the spotlight for me.
I was more bothered when Heath Ledger and Bernie Mac died.

those were really tragic deaths
michael has been so freaky for so long its hard to know what to think
by Basketball Smurf on Jun 25, 2009 5:23 PM CDT up reply actions
Meh. The children stuff is weird, but it's more about the lack of "art" I'll be getting.
MJ stopped awhile ago. Ledger was coming along as one of the best young actors to follow the likes of Brad PItt or Johnny Depp and Bernie was hilarious and had also hit the screen as a legitimate actor.
Seriously, I might be twisted, but enough people die every day that their deaths, in and of themselves, aren’t any more tragic than kids in Africa who starve to death. I’m just upset that my life might contain a little less joy in it from their deaths.
(yep, I said all that.)

It's not a national tragedy, we're not the crazy people who cried when he sang
It just sucks that Michael Jackson is dead, his body of work is better than anyone over the past 20 years. I mean, come on. Usher? Justin Timberlake? These guys are hacks compared to Jackson in terms of the actual quality of music.

Yeah even the guys who aren't as big as them
Or even artists who don’t imitate him as bad. Maybe some guys did that tribute album to him for pub but I think its like the Michael Jordan effect too.
Its hard to even explain really.
Totally, but I'm just saying he hasn't done much in the past 10 (15?) years.
I already have multiple albums of his (and no how to get others if I need to). Ledger and Mac would have continued to put out good work. I’m not so sure about Jackson. If he was still making quality music, I’d be bothered more.

I understand what you are saying...
but we shouldn’t let someone’s non-presence change their signification. I would say if anything, the void left in his absence is representative of his massive influence.
I do understand what you are saying about Ledger, but there was a zero percent chance of him ever equaling Michael Jackson’s influence. There are few products that have equaled Jackson’s; Jordan and the Beatles only come to mind as being on the same strata.
that's just brutal honesty. if most people thought about it, that's really the only reason we all
care so much when celebrity’s pass.

Michael Jackson...
is so much more culturally significant than any of those celebrities you have mentioned.
The ability to recognize someone for their almost incomparable contributions and also recognizing general global inequity are not mutually exclusive things.
Yeah, Jackson already made his mark, and he wasn't making any more marks.
Jackson dying does not diminish or change or alter the contributions he already made or the contributions we think he might have made in the future. I think Ledger was about to bust out as a great actor of his (my) generation. Now, we’ll never know. I’m just not a sentimental person to get all distraught over what someone dying when they’ve already done something and weren’t really going to do anything more. I leave that to the historians.
I’m sorry I can’t explain myself better so you understand what I mean.
People should remember that while they have the right to their opinion, they are not entitled to be taken seriously. --Bruce Bartlett
I can't get very sentimental about it because he was just so damn strange
Someone remarked above he was a human being, but he seemed to live in such a bizarre reality it’s hard to have any sort of understanding of him as a regular human being. Hence, I look at his death the way I’d think of the death of… I dunno… an alien or something. It’s sad, it’s just… hard to relate to.
Meh, don't all artists have their flaws?
And that’s what makes them so intriguing?
Though, I guess it’s a little easier on the mind to think of Elvis because you could just block out the phase where he was a drug addict fatso. I wasn’t even born the last time Jacko resembled a human.

Michael Jackson and Farrah on the same day
You know you’re getting old when people who were cool in your childhood start dying.
Man-slave, bring me my PB&J!

Fuck Terrance Williams
Here’s hoping you do something to make the Bulls not pick you in the next 2 hours…

What a great day.
SO many excited emotions running through me..
Lets get Bosh, Amare, and trade up for Blake Griffin. KK !!!!!!

Fun little Time waster!
Three PFs?
Wouldn’t that just make us the Clippers? Or like a frontcourt version of the 2005 Knicks? Seriously, that Knicks team had Marbury, Steve Francis, Penny Hardaway, Jalen(e) Rose, Nate Robinson, Jamal Crawford AND Quentin Richardson… WTF?!

Well, Minny selected back to back point guards!

It's amazing how exectations have gone from
Hansbrough would be okay at 16 to anything except a trade for Amare would be a disappointment.
i think all the player movement has people hopes up
plus everyone has been expecting the Bulls to make a big move for 2 years now and still nothing

Holy shit the one night I need the tv and my roomates are watching dvds of The Wire
looks like I’ll be virtua-drafting. AND we’re all out of beer except PBR. Talk about bad omens…

Let's pretty please not trade up for T.Will
And I even like T.Will. But jeez. We need good players on cheap contracts. If this team can’t figure out how to get successful ones without overpaying, we’re always gonna suck.
Man, I'm getting excited/anxious
It’s going to be a wait till 16, unless something semi-unexpected happens before that. Not quite like last year and the instant gratification.
Man-slave, bring me my PB&J!
I'm worried that we're set up for a bad night.
I don’t know about you guys but anything except Blair or a big trade will be a disappointment… and both of those seem pretty unlikely.
link anyone?
