Michael Jordan is on the other side and seems to be seeing things a little differently when it comes to the current NBA labor situation.

His views as owner of the Charlotte Bobcats differ greatly from his views during his playing career and Stephon Marbury has noticed.

Jordan blasted Washington owner Abe Pollin in 1999, telling him point blank that if he couldn't afford to pay his players, he needed to get out of the basketball business.

Jordan now owns the small market Charlotte Bobcats and now favors the ownership receiving a much greater percentage of the basketball-related income than the players. It's a complete change from his attitude during his playing career.

Stephon Marbury wasn't happy about the change.

"Micheal Fake Jordan is a sell out. #Period. He forgot which hole he came out of. I said it "Stephon X Marbury," Marbury wrote on Twitter. "MJ went from MJ the black cat to a guy who forgot he was a player. Sell your team if you can't make a profit.. Your just a regular dude now! ... When he rapped the Bulls for 36 million for one year no ones said nothing about that."

Marbury wasn't finished.

"He's just a man. I know he's some people's god but real is real. Dude forgot he played and demanded millions ... he wasn't my idol I just loved his game," Marbury tweeted. "He never did nothing that I knew about to change the life off of the court other then hit cats over the head for a 100 150 dollar sneakers and still doing it. Jim Brown said it best. Mickey Mouse-type cat. Wave and break you pocket for as long as he can.

"He didn't create nothing. The game was played way before him ... "

Once a revered figure among players in the league it appears that Jordan is now just another owner trying to get over on them, according to some critics. Aside from Marbury, Nick Young, Paul George and Klay Thompson have gone after Jordan for his stand against the players.
