Yeah, I don't get this attitude. Somehow, it's OK that Jordan got  off his
last (or so we thought) shot by committing an offensive foul, because, you
know, he's Jordan.  It just shows how competitive and clever he was to get
away with something like that  blah  blah blah. That the rules of the game
have been creatively interpreted in his favor for most of his career goes
unnoticed by these folks.  
And now we're gonna see even more of this "Jordan rules" crappola. I can
just see Kobe or McGrady or Pierce blocking his Greatness' shot and getting
called for a phantom foul.
