On Podcast P with Paul George, former NBA player Paul Pierce truly believes that Jordan’s positive nature will help bridge the gap between the older and newer generations. “If MJ comes out and just gives the flowers than everybody is just going to have to shut the hell up,” Pierce said. “It’s MJ, if youre seeing the GOAT, I think the rest of the older school players, older than me will fall in line. I think that’s important. I’m glad that Mike is going to be able to come give his perspective.” “I mean that old man was a busy man. That man was traveling the world, smoking cigars, running his billy up with his shoes. He deserved that.”
