You little bitches become such mean girls whenever MJ comes up. The guy has far surpassed the need to justify his sponsorship with his career output which was pretty damn consistent throughout 2 decades. Is he an annoying interview? Yeah! But 99% of skateboarders interviewed are boring and have nothing to say, but there must be some reason outlets go to him for an interview. I hardly think Adidas has leveraged their team rider budget giving MJ a legacy contract, so I don’t know what people are upset about other than just some excuse to bag on him because he’s been known to be a touch too high falutin’ in his latter years
its a sport
you're paid to perform. When you stop performing, people start wondering why you're still around. We all know MJ did some pretty cool stuff in the past, but kids don't know shit about nor do they care, and old armchair skaters like us resent him for being so fucking annoying whenever he opens his mouth or put out a new """""idea""""" . I get the whole legend status shit, but i think it applies to people who look good on a picture sitting on a bench with shoes, pants and a tee shirt for sale. "Legend" status basically means you're kept on the team for modeling and you made your name into a brand so your pro model shoe sells.
Marc looks like a recovering drug addict and jeopardized his name in that unfortunate lakai break up. I don't see where the value is
AHH I see, the issue is simple, some of us view it less like sport and more like art, which explains why you see no merit in MJs history.
I'm sure the Gonz must piss you the fuck off, he can't even skate to MJs level so why pay him?
What part has he put out for Adidas recently?
Shouldn't he be put out to pasture too if MJ can't cut it?
He certainly does not fill your 1 requirement for legend status, which, according to you, must look good sitting on a bench in shoes? Which is a really strange comment honestly.
I strongly suggest you don't get the legend status thing if that is what you think it means.
