Hi,

Is this sentence correct ?

A : Michael Jordan was poor, I don't like him.
You need a period instead of a comma.
If you say 'he is poor', it suggests he has no money.
Do you mean that you don't like him as a person, or do you mean 'I don't like the way he plays?' Th

Could it be like this...

A : Michael Jordan was so unskillful. I would not even want to watch his game.
B : Really , Have you ever seen him play ?

Thank you.

Yes, except say 'Did you ever see him play?' to reflect the fact that he no longer plays.
