"My mentality was to go out and win at any cost. If you don't want to live that regimented mentality, then you don't need to be alongside me, cause I'm going to ridicule you till you get on the same level as me. And if you don't get on the same level it's gonna be hell for you."
That's fair to be honest. You can even hear it in his trash talk. He was ridiculing someone in the locker room and then said, "You go out there and play hard for once, you neeever gotta hear from me again" He had an uncompromising mission to win and if he saw a team mate as an obstacle to that, he was going to remove the obstacle. He didn't want him to quit the team, I think in Jordan's perfect world, it'd have motivated him to play harder. I know it would've motivated me to shut him up. It was tough love. You also never heard him bully Pippen, because Pippen was indispensable. He was fair
He bullied players on other teams during games, but that's psychological warfare, again, him trying to win at any costs. It's shitty, but it's what made him so great.
We know Jordan's story was one of rejection and then redemption, it wouldn't surprise me if he thought that was the best motivator for everyone. There's a huge difference between that and psychological warfare, and someone putting someone else down cause they get more pussy than them, lmao
