so "big-shots" are OK to yell to people doing their jobs...wake up people... how you would feel if someone yelled at you and got away because they were famous and/or rich?
He was an outstanding player! The most entertaining player in history. That's what counts for the paying customer. Today's game is so boring in comparison.
All you tight-assed people saying J-Mac was "bad" for the sport need to get a clue. McEnroe's amazing game and wild temper brought more new fans to the sport than any tennis player in history.
I'm happy I'm too young to have witnessed that. I guess he was a great player, but calling an umpire a jerk?! No talent / genius can make up for such rudeness.
Mcenroe is a legend. He was a great volleyer and competitior. Its a shame we dont have such personalitys in da game rite now. da last 1 i can think of is Safin
McEnroe was lucky that tournaments tolerated this behaviour as much as they did. He was aggressive, incredibly rude and behaved liked a toddler. He really embarassed himself because if he had been pleasant, then people might sympathise with his point of view, but by being so nasty the issue changed from a correct/incorrect line call to how McEnroe will be penalised for his behaviour.
honestly if i was an umpire i dont think there's anyway i would be able to control my laughter if mcenroe was berating me...which would be awesome because it would surely just make him even more pissed.
McEnroe was a jerk, but that doesn't diminish his contribution for the sport. Besides being an amazing tennis player, he was an entertainer, a show man.
Even ATP nowadays recognizes that, and proof of that is that ATP is trying to give a bit more freedom to the players to show their emotions, trying to make them look less like robots and more like real persons.
Ha ha love it!! Yeah he just couldn't control himself at all when he lost it but you gotta love him!!! He wasn't a brat he just had a very short fuse.....tennis was entertaining back then!!!!!
I love watching this stuff, awesome how this happened back then and nowadays serena makes one little comment and everyone makes a big deal. i wish there was more of this stuff in sports.
@xnappyboyyx But McEnroe had style when he got angry. Not to mention he didn't give up against his opponent. Plus, I don't think he ever threatened an umpire's life like Serena did. He has sure used his fair share of swear words, but it was his way of pumping himself up and focusing. Serena on the other hand...
Google and watch. Is funny, ok, mostly german but not all of it. The dialogue between Raab and Mcenroe is english...the well known words. Mcenroe is cool, playing this role :)
I gotta' tell you... If I were a tennis judge I would purposely call all the close shots in Mac's favor. There would be no way I could handle being put on the spot by him.
Notice how he suprisingly explodes in rage on the word "question."
Hmm your being a little stereo-typical, just because his personality is Different then the professionals now doesn't mean he's not well suited, he was a great player.
his peronality wasnt different he was one of the most well liked tennis players among his peers. tennis is a very frustrating sport some people bottle up there emotions while he was more than open with them

acorntechnique 11 months ago
@acorntechnique Because it is a lot more fun to watch someone act like a jerk than a guy who is polite and has perfect manners.
Mr. Polite receives a bad call from the umpire. He looks slightly puzzled, so he shrugs his shoulders and walks back into place.
Mr. Jerk receives a bad call from the umpire. He screams and yells and tries to make the guy feel like an idiot.
Which scenario sounds more entertaining?
Sports is a form of entertainment, and the more entertaining it is, the more viewers
