New York fans hate Jordan, that damned bald egg didn't make New York great, and what's infuriating is that after losing once, Jordan just retired straight away. He only played for the Knicks for a year, making all New York fans feel like he's a cowardly deserter.
In this regard, he's not even as brave as Patrick Ewing.
Ewing at least stayed with the Knicks until 2000, and even after Jordan retired, he was still trying to create miracles.
Back when you played for New York, you deserted in the face of battle. Now that you're back to play against the Knicks, you act like you're going to throw heavy punches. This makes all Knicks fans angry.
Spike Lee, during an interview, cursed Jordan: "The New York Great Wall will make that bastard Michael flee in disgrace once again!"
When Michael Jordan and his Cleveland Cavaliers arrived around Madison Square Garden, the team bus seemed like it was about to be overturned by the fans.
