Who Wore It Best (Savage Mindgames Edition); Rossi v Jordan

(Bear with me, I just watched 'The Last Dance')

OK, experts. Which of these two employed the most manipulative/batshit-crazy mental shenanigans to motivate themselves and/or mindfuck their competition...Valentino Rossi or Michael Jordan?

 

Jordan. He knew when to bow out (even if he did pull that shit in DC). Rossi just sticks around like a box of baking soda in the back of your fridge from the 90s using space you could use for two cans of hipster IPA you'll never drink.

 

Doohan was the ultimate. When he got the droner motor on his 500 CC GP bike and spanked everyone, his competition begged for the same motor. After they all got drone motors, he switched back to the screamer motor and still kicked their buts. Doohan once said that he avoided making it personal, because once it became personal, it motivated his rivals to try harder.

Honorable mention to Schwantz for offering $10,000 to anyone who banged Kocinski's girlfriend.

 

Amateurs compared to Phil Read.
