And according to him, his best years in NBA was in Utah.

'My best years were here in Utah,' former Jazz star Deron Williams says on trip back to Vivint Smart Home Arena

If not because of Injury problem, he could have stayed more with his team, injury can really kill a star's career, so maybe that's the reason why NBA decided to soften the NBA  to lower the risk of their players get injured.

Jerry Sloan was one of the best coaches NBA has ever seen, shame what happened with Jazz but he was in a very bad era and just got unlucky, there are plenty of basketball stars that was great players and in HOF without a ring, Jerry Sloan is the coach version of them.

Deron Williams didn't really go out because of his fatness per se (which I assume did played a big role) but because league basically moved towards more shooting point guards lately, even centers shoot nowadays so it made no sense to keep a player who barely could have shot from three and focused on just passes and going inside. There is really not that much need for a playmaking point guard nowadays and Deron was good in that regard.

I still remember him from being compared to Chris Paul who is as you can see sent and traded as well, even though Paul had much better threes and HOF level defense too. Of course his weight didn't really helped at all too.

Deron was a better player than CP3 in their first 3 season against each other, and of course Deron has a better stats than CP3 while the Jazz are up 8-2 against the Jazz in that season.

Though, in the long run Deron has gradually lost his game specially when he got to Brooklyn where there are a lot of good players like Garnet, Pierce, and Johnson.
He suddenly became overrated, because when he was still in Utah, Sloan has made him almost the best point guard in the league during that time.
I don't know what happened to him, maybe he had injury or what, but CP3 just proved him he's better than Deron in the long run.

This is just one of his statement about Jordan lies.
There's a lot more out there.
That includes the thought of this "Last Dance" as just flowing for Jordan's perspective.
We could see he had hit a lot of players and names here. But, how about their sides? Who will tell their story?

I am a Jordan fan but let's be real, some of it are difficult to believe.

Well... He's right on the other hand but if these stuff were true why would Jordan had to act like some spoiled brat in his narrative?
I don't get it, is it because he has the every spotlight on and he wanna be treated as someone who usually won't do something that would ruined his image? You know, avoiding controversies (well, yes, who would've like it though), so probably it might be the reason or am I just being shallow

As I see, if these opinion/stories back then continues to come out, more and more people related to Bulls and Jordan's back then journey would continue to pop out who happen to know the so-called truth, and the lies Jordan spitting out. So where would this lead in to?

Nevertheless, it might be a lie or whatever is that, it won't dictate the entirety of Jordan greatness as a basketball player.

A lot of fans miss him but that is sports, a lot of superstars who retired early because they cannot longer deliver based on what is expected to them, it's just so unfortunate that he retires so early, we could have seen him playing until now, this tells that it's really important that as an athlete, they need to take care of their health and it's just nice to see that Lebron James is setting as an example for everyone, at his age, he can still an MVP caliber and he get smarter and smarter as season pass by.

So he needed to risk being offensive (like what Jordan Peterson said) in his narrative over some entitlement. It would be totally regrettable if he totally lost the brotherhood he already formed all throughout his journey with the bulls. One more thing, it is often that people falls to misconceptions due to cognitive dissonance or biases, so he might be needing to buy that cheap attitude (if those side stories were true), so he won't lose the brand, get it .


Yeah, there are still loose ends. Bet there are more interesting stories to come.

Did he retire already? I don't think he did it yet. AFAIK, he still a free agent (correct me if I am wrong ). But I see no plans of him getting back on the league, so yeah... technically he's retired.

He slowed down, lost his minutes, and lost the interest to play the game ever again. As mentioned by @Reid as well, it wasn't about the injury that holds him down from playing but the weight management he fails to handle.

LBJ always invests for his health care. He gives his health importance, and care as much as he do with basketball. I remember when Conor McGregor admired LBJ's investment with his health.

Currently, there's news going around saying that NBA is in talks with The Walt Disney Company regarding the continuation of its season at Disney's ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Florida. And they're planning to do it in late July.

This will be the single site for games, practices and housing for all the players. They are positive that this site will be able to hold all the requirements as they have three arenas and ample hotel accommodation within its 220-acre land area. Hoping that these negotiations go smoothly as I'm eagerly waiting for the league to resume. 

No more kind of homecourt advantage feels in the playoffs if this happens , and probably no fans allowed here, which makes me wonder how intense the game would turn out here.

He's very tough to get along. In comparison to leadership with LBJ, well, MJ is very far. I prefer to be in a team with a leader which I could play my best with appreciation. No wonder why there are some resentments flowing around MJ. Well, I still appreciate his dedication to make his team a competitive one he just did it or mean it in a wrong way, sadly .


In addition, he's playing smart and always alert on to where he was going to avoid unnecessary/unforced injury. Rookies need to look how LBJ handle his game specially Zion.

I remember I read it's about the injury problem but I can't seem to find the article though, and this is also based on my observation as he has been injured many times in the past that makes him an inactive player, of course we miss him as we usually see him bringing a win for his team.


I knew he was bulky but he already is when he gave success to the Jazz, he is a rare PG because he is strong, can drive the ball inside and has a good skills in bringing the ball, for me it does not slowed him down, just until when he got injured and everything changes thereafter.



Can't remember this anymore, probably he was just playing very limited minutes.

By the way, I made a research too, and found this,
