"He played for respect and not to be liked" - Ex-Bull explains why MJ is different from today's NBA stars
"He played for respect and not to be liked" - Ex-Bull explains why MJ is different from today's NBA stars originally appeared on Basketball Network. Former Chicago Bulls forward Dickey Simpkins acknowledged the notion that most NBA players of the current era are for show. For him, it's the complete opposite of what Michael Jordan was as a player back in the day. Simpkins joined the Bulls in 1994 and won three NBA championships with the team. Throughout that stretch, he witnessed the true character of Jordan, the one that most fans didn't get to see. According to Simpkins, MJ set a good example to his teammates as far as having the right mentality as a professional athlete. He concluded that Jordan never did anything for the amusement of the fans or to impress his teammates. In the process, Dickey said Michael earned the respect of everybody around him. "He just delivered it," Simpkins said of Jordan on "The Rally" last year. "And you know, MJ, he played for respect and not to be liked. And I tell people all the time, you have to choose. Either you want to be respected or you want to be liked. If you want to be liked, that can go up and down. You want to be respected. That's going to go a long way." Jordan's trait that always stood out Jordan was still retired when Simpkins was drafted by the Bulls. In the middle of the season, MJ famously made an epic return. Knowing what Mike had gone through that prompted his first retirement, Dickey was in awe of how MJ managed to bounce back stronger. As Simpkins described it, he never once saw Jordan come up with an excuse for not being able to deliver, even if he had a valid one, considering his father's tragic death. With that in mind, Simpkins noted that MJ's mental strength as a player is what always stood out to him. He believes it's what separated His Airness from other star players from all the other eras. "I think the biggest thing was the mental fortitude he had to embrace the moment to carry the team on his back and deliver a play that was going to be a iconic play or a masterpiece of winning a game or winning a series," Simpkins added of MJ. "Just that mentality to be able to do that." "Everybody wants to have the last-second shot or wants to be the star, but everybody doesn't really want what comes with it outside of all the accolades," he continued. "… That's something that I've never seen any player have like MJ."MJ said he wouldn't survive the social media era Simpkins was on point in agreeing that Jordan aimed to be respected and not liked during his playing years. In fact, MJ never liked anything he said or did to be misconstrued. That being said, Michael admittedly couldn't imagine himself playing in the social media era. He believes it's a serious struggle to avoid misconceptions and false narratives these days. "I don't know if I could've survived in this Twitter time," Jordan once said. "Where you don't have the privacy that you would want and what seems to be very innocent could be always misinterpreted." In conclusion, Simpkins' remarks prove that apart from the otherworldly skills, Jordan was also unique because of how he conducted himself. This certainly added another layer to MJ's ever-growing story was originally reported by Basketball Network on Aug 19, 2025, where it first appeared.

Boston Celtics Finalize Sale to Bill Chisholm: 'Coming in 2nd Is Not Acceptable'
The Boston Celtics have a new owner, and there's one thing that isn't going to change at the NBA's most-decorated franchise. "Coming in second is not the objective, and it's not acceptable," private equity mogul Bill Chisholm said Tuesday after taking control of the team from Wyc Grousbeck. "The ultimate yardstick is winning championships. Wyc's got two, and we're going to get more, and he and I together are going to help drive that." Chisholm leads a group that bid $6.1 billion for the Celtics — a record price for an American professional sports franchise. The NBA unanimously approved the deal last week, and all that was left was for the money to change hands on Tuesday. "We are committed to building on the legacy of the Celtics and raising banners," Chisholm said. "And I can't wait for the team to get back out there this fall." A Massachusetts native, Chisholm said his earliest Celtics memories are of the Dave Cowens, JoJo White and John Havlicek teams that won two NBA titles in the 1970s, but he really fell hard for the teams with Larry Bird, Robert Parish and Kevin McHale that added three more banners to the Boston Garden rafters in the '80s. "I became a rabid fan during the Bird, McHale, Parish era. That was my team," Chisholm said in an interview with The Associated Press shortly after the deal was finalized. "How can you be a teenager in Massachusetts, or New England, with that group and not end up being a lifelong Celtics fan?" The team was put on the market last summer, soon after Tatum and Brown vanquished the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA finals. Chisholm won the bidding in March and leads a group that now has majority ownership control of the team, with full control coming by 2028 at a price that could bring the total value to $7.3 billion. That's the highest price ever paid for a team in the four major North American sports, though a piece of the Los Angeles Lakers changed hands this summer at a price that would value the entire franchise at $10 billion. Other investors include Aditya Mittal, Bruce Beal, Andrew Bialecki, Dom Ferrante, Rob Hale, Mario Ho and Ian Loring. Sixth Street is also a "major participant" in the investment group, the team said in a news release. Grousbeck and co-owner Steve Pagliuca led a group that bought the Celtics in 2002 for $360 million and presided over an era in which the Celtics won two NBA titles, lost in the finals two other times and made the playoffs in 20 of 23 seasons. The team's most recent title came in 2024, led by Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. Team president Rich Gotham, general manager Brad Stevens and coach Joe Mazzulla are all expected to remain in their positions. Chisholm will represent the team in league matters as governor, with Grousbeck staying on as co-owner, CEO and alternate governor to run the day-to-day operations alongside Chisholm. "We've got a really solid core to the roster. We've got, I think, the best basketball people that there are. And we've got a really talented business operations team," Chisholm said. "And then we've got a leader like Wyc. I mean, why would you go make major changes to that? "I think there are things we can always improve on," he said. "But that is a really, really good place to start." Grousbeck said he can already tell that Chisholm understands the significance of owning one of the NBA's charter franchises, with its unmatched 18 championships and a history of Hall of Famers from Red Auerbach, Bob Cousy and Bill Russell to Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett. "It's an unbelievable responsibility, and an unbelievable thrill," Grousbeck said. "But it's a huge challenge because the greats built it. And we're just here trying to maintain the legacy, which is a great honor." Chisholm takes over the team in a bit of a transition just two seasons after its latest title. Tatum is recovering from surgery to repair the ruptured right Achilles tendon injury he suffered in Boston's Eastern Conference semifinal loss to the New York Knicks, dooming the Celtics' hopes of a repeat. Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis — key parts of the title-winning team — were traded to avoid the NBA's punitive second apron payroll tax. Another key player, Al Horford – who came off of the bench or subbed in for the oft-injured Porzingis the past two years – remains a free agent. Grousbeck said the days of outspending opponents to win championships are over. "We had our two years at supermax, 100 mph, and now you take a year to reset a little bit, which every team will be doing," Grousbeck said. "And we'll be back. We're coming back as hard as we can."

Auburn claims 4 more football national championships, including in 2004 when it didn't make BCS title game
Auburn is trying to catch up to Alabama in the race for claimed national championships. The Tigers announced Tuesday it will recognize themselves as nine-time football champions. The school had previously touted itself as a five-time national champion. But Auburn is no longer going to be humble, according to athletic director John Cohen. 'For too long, Auburn has chosen a humble approach to our program's storied history — choosing to recognize only Associated Press national championships,' Cohen told On3. 'Starting this fall, we have made the decision to honor the accomplishments of our deserving student-athletes, coaches and teams from Auburn's proud history. Our visible national championship recognitions now align with the well-established standard used by the NCAA's official record book and our peers across the nation. Before Tuesday, Auburn claimed titles in 1913, 1957, 1983, 1993 and 2010. Now, titles in 1910, 1914, 1958 and 2004 are being added to the mix. You may remember the BCS existed in 2004, and Auburn did not play for the national championship. The Tigers were 12-0 but were third in the BCS rankings behind undefeated USC and undefeated Oklahoma. After USC blew out the Sooners for the national championship, Auburn finished No. 2 in the final AP Top 25 with three of 65 first-place votes. The other 62 went to USC. The Tigers also finished second in the coaches poll. Auburn's feelings toward being excluded from the BCS title game that year are well-known at this point. You can understand why the Tigers want to claim a national title for that season. But you also have every right to laugh at that claim and recognize it as illegitimate. Pre-BCS titles are murkier, and why a school like Alabama claims 18 national titles. Twelve of those championships came before the BCS and subsequent College Football Playoff existed. For example, Alabama's 1941 title is claimed from a 9-2 season that saw it atop the Houlgate System's rankings. Auburn is also using similar logic. For example, the school's new 1914 title is via the James Howell Power Ratings, though at least Auburn went 8-0-1 that season and didn't allow an opponent to score. If you're worked up about Auburn's decision to suddenly claim four more titles, you can take solace that the Tigers' chances at an official 10th national title don't appear to be very realistic anytime soon. The Tigers are 66-1 to win the 2025 title at BetMGM and have the 10th-best odds to win the SEC.
