@@rockysalvatore435 Do you think Joker is the GOAT? I personally think it's Bron, but I have MJ 2nd. Although Joker may be the GOAT once his career is all said and done
@@DeeKAAM for sure its do annoying to see LeBrone come up every time people talking about MJ, and viceversa. MJ is my goar and LeBron's amazing, we should enjoy this level of talent
@@rockysalvatore435 MJ did not ruin basketball. He fucking made it a global sensation and the NBA reached its peak in his prime surpassing the equally impressive dynasty rivalry of Lakers and Celtics in the 80s. It's not his fault he set the bar so damn high that the NBA just can't seem to replicate that peak anymore.
I can always appreciate someone seeing something in a young player and just calling it in the moment instead of waiting. Kinda like Mark Jackson saying what he said about the splash bros when they were still pups.
I"m 69 years old I have seen a lot of great Basketball players , a lot of players that people reading this comment have never heard of , players like Connie Hawkins , Nat Archibald , Bernard King ,Earl Monroe Gail Goodrich , all great basketball players just not superstars , there has only been one GOAT in my time of watching Basketball and that is Michael Jordan .
I've watched old videos of all of those players, I personally think King was a superstar but just injured too much to display it at the top of his game.
@@rdogletree4543 Yeah King was a heck of a offensive player , but like you said Injury , and they didn't have the expertise back then dealing with knee injuries that they have today
I became a basketball fan because of MJ. From the 80s till the present NBA no one has come close to his legacy. The Greatest Basketball Player of All Time! Thank you Jonny for this video.
@@JamesSmith-c2b Let's start easy. 10 x Topscorer. (Record) Most trophies. Most MVP Awards (Finals + Season) Most points per game in the finals. Most points per game in the playoffs. Most points per game alltime. The only player in 60 years with more than 3,000 points in a season. Most efficient player (27,9)in the history. Plus 3x steal leader The first and only one player with MVP, DPOY and top scorer in a season. The only player (with Pippen as far as the pure 3-peats are concerned) ) with 2 x 3-peat + 6 Finals MVP. Second 3-peat= 2 x MVP, 3 x Finals MVP, 3x Topscorer, 3 x All- Defense Team without missing a single game. 6:0 Finals win record At the age of 35- NBA Champion, MVP, Finals MVP, Allstar Game MVP, All NBA First Team, All Defense First Team. The only player (by a huge margin) who was top scorer 9 times and at the same time in the First All Defense Team. All of this in 12 seasons with the Bulls (86'only a few games due to a serious injury + 95' very late comeback only a few games=which doesn't even add up to half a season) When he played as pointguard in March-April 89' (test) = 7 triple doubles in a row, 10 triple doubles from 11 games ( 33,6 Points average, 10,8 Rebounds average, 11,4 Assists average), 15 triple doubles total, in a few weeks. Now you can come with the state padder's 21 years, but don't forget...No. 1 in turnovers overall and on average( It's good that the referees don't whistle for his double-step errors...), one of the worst final win rates in history. 4 titles in 21 years, Run to other teams, pick out
Thank you for this vid because these youngsters need to be taught!!! MJ did these amazing things against a leagues that was 100 x’s harder with the physicality of an overseas “rugby” mentality!!!
One of my favorite things, Jordan hit the hard shot over Marion, I don’t think he fell to the ground, he didn’t try to get a foul called, and he runs back to the other side. In the all star game, no one is even expected to hustle and play D, and still, at the end, Jordan is running. That is one of the many things that makes him THE GOAT
What kills me about the whole "debate" is that we have film on every single game. I know it's not HD but it's not degraded black & white film either, and we have every stat recorded. It's not like stories you hear about Jack Johnson, Babe Ruth or Bruce Lee where you just have a very limited amount of grainy footage to go off of and just have to either believe whoever is telling you all these unbelievable things or not but Jordan's career is 100% verifiable and his case for the goat is undeniable. You cannot make a valid case for anyone against Jordan's resume, eye test, per game stats or clutch, maybe one category but blown away at the rest. So all the "kings" men have to claim that chips and mvp's, per game and season stats don't matter because it's the total body of work and that everyone in the league before 2000 was a plumber and discredit the players from the era because that's all they've got. Eye test Jordan's the goat with the second greatest dynasty ever, he was the best player on the greatest team ever assembled, he was the best player on the greatest NBA team ever, he's the greatest scorer ever, the greatest defensive guard, the biggest bag, the best finisher, the best midrange game, the most clutch and the greatest competitor ever. Compared to other shooting guards he's top 3 in every major statistical category, per game AND total, except for assists but he's 6th all time in that! Per game and career! No other player comes anywhere close to that at any position. He's not just the GOAT of basketball he's the GOAT of sports period. #wedonewithlebron
Ever heard of Don Bradman? Bradman was statistically almost twice as good as anyone else who has played his sport before or after him. Your long winded comment IS false and all you did was expose your lack of sporting knowledge full stop.
@@JamesSmith-c2b You think that was long winded? Go get a snack and a drink for this one. So what was false about it other than your claim that a cricketer is the greatest sportsman ever or at least better than Jordan??? No, I haven't heard of Don Bradman but I looked him up. Interesting career but not without his own controversy taking a "duck?" on his last outing to keep his career batting percentage among other things. I ain't going to front, I don't know 💩 about cricket but when I look up, best cricketer, he gets some #1's but usually 2nd or 3rd to some other guys I've never heard of so he's not even cut and dry the best in his own sport. Now the best batter ever, he's got it every time. Cool. Sounds like a legendary guy but we're talking about the best EVER! I looked up plenty of top sportsman of all time lists and he made a few. #29 out of 50 and 80 something out of 100. No top 10 or 25 lists but you know who was on top of all of them except 1? You guessed it, Michael Jordan and he was #2 on the one list he wasn't 1st and I looked at the first 7 or 8 that came up on my search. He's mixed in with people like Babe Ruth, Jim Thorpe and Ali, you know, people we've all heard of. It's not like I'm making some wild claim or anything and the more I study on it, the more I'm convinced it's true. You're the one who's just pulling some random mf'r out the hat and acting like "Don Bradman" is really someone to take serious when talking about the best ever in sports and acting like if I haven't heard of him then I don't know anything about sports. Lmao!!!! I will acknowledge that maybe these lists don't take sports like crickets into consideration enough when making these lists and give US sports the most consideration but come on, what am I supposed to do? Your guy isn't even top 25 on anything or anything eye opening to deserve a deeper look so maybe you might need to reevaluate how much you think you know about sports?
I agree with almost everything you said except one thing. I think we actually don’t have all of the video footage of especially 1980’s M.J., which makes me wonder how much longer his highlight reels would actually be if we had all that footage!?
@user-hv2xt8xm2www.google.com/search?q=don+bradman&oq=don+bradman&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqDQgAEAAY4wIYsQMYgAQyDQgAEAAY4wIYsQMYgAQyCggBEC4YsQMYgAQyBwgCEC4YgAQyBwgDEAAYgAQyBwgEEC4YgAQyBwgFEAAYgAQyBwgGEAAYgAQyBwgHEAAYgAQyBwgIEAAYgAQyDQgJEC4YrwEYxwEYgAQyBwgKEAAYgAQyBwgLEAAYgAQyBwgMEAAYgAQyBwgNEAAYgAQyBwgOEAAYgATSAQgyOTQyajBqOagCDrACAQ&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8w First of all we're not talking about the game of cricket from the mid-20s we're talking about basketball NBA basketball pro basketball the gentleman who made this long-winded comment said nothing about Jordan B the best athlete of all time statistically so go back and reread the long comment. Jordan is top three in almost every statistical category there is concerning the NBA not Cricket not bowling not Billiards not stamp collecting or butterfly catching or synchronized swimming but in the NBA basketball genre of professional sports as it relates to stat, the play of his game, his movement on the court as well as his off court ambassador-esque image. The writer says GOAT of ALL SPORTS as it pertains to thise metrics. if you have if you have any empirical information that will refute Jordan being top three in almost every stat known to NBA basketball then provide your evidence here otherwise reread what this guy is saying and govern your comments accordingly
From NY but Been a Boston Fan since 1985 at the age of 11 ...but watching Jordan play made me actually pick up a Basketball at the age of 12....buying " come fly with me" VHS tapes watching it every time before my game ... I wanted to b like Mike being a Boston Fan n still is a Boston fan n i have no problem with saying that Jordan is the Greatest player i ever seen in the History of Basketball.
Thank you for making this video. Those of us old enough to have watched Jordan live know without a shadow of a doubt this man’s GOAT status is not threatened and never has been. Not only the GOAT NBA player but the GOAT of North American sports.
Because of his inspired play, Jordan could not help but shower the 7-footer with praise at halftime. "For the first time ever, because Michael was very cautious with his praise, he came into the locker room high-fiving me, slapping me, hugging me, saying, 'Man, you play like that, we’re going to win the world championship. That’s awesome! You’re an All-Star. Why don’t you play like that every day? I knew you had it in you,'" Longley added
I really have to thank Jonny for this, but there is one burning question. If one does not appreciate the legends who made basketball impactful and are done with previous decades, are they even fans of basketball?
I would argue that they’re not. They’re fans of their favorite players, almost as if they care about the actor more than the movie they play in. They view their favorite players like celebrities, and that’s what they’re passionate about, to the point that they’ll attempt to diminish basketball itself.
@@jojobean4211 Lmao I see that you spewed your stupid uneducated non-sense everywhere in the comments. What about his first 7 years ? He was already viewed as the best player in the league. He won multiple MVPs, he won a DPOY award, he averaged 44 points against the 86' Celtics, he averaged more than 30 points against the Pistons during the playoffs, he reached the conference finals twice including a game 7 where Pippen scored 2pts on 1-10 shooting, and he actually WON a title in his 7th year lmao. You are a clueless clown 🤡
The most memorable block I witnessed in College basketball. Maryland had the opportunity to win the game at the end. Lefty Driesel called a play for his son which was totally unexpected and would have succeeded except Michael Jordon played for Carolina. It looked like the play was going to succeed but MJ appeared out of no where and pinned the ball against the glass and brought it down with both hands. Amazing!
Just because you can score with your left hand doesn’t mean you can dribble good or set up shots with consistency. Where was most of his offense generated and where’d he always wanna go? To his right!
@@WonBoii411 "Most of his offense generated from his right.." - That is a complete lie, and just shows how clueless you are. There are many statistical breakdowns of Jordan offense going both left and right, and it shows almost equal usage. As a matter of fact, Jordan has the most balanced left/right usage of any player in NBA history. Also, go watch any of his games during his career, and I mean any.. nobody was saying Jordan had no left back then. This lie was started by Bron D riders, cause they got nothing else to bring to the table.
@@WonBoii411 Jordan's most famous dunk, where he escaped the two man trap from the left side corner to slam the ball down on Ewing was from the left side with his left dribble.
@@WonBoii411So you're telling me the greatest scorer of all-time... a 10x scoring champ... career 30.1ppg... 7 40ppg playoff series... 63pts against a 67 win no.1 defense... didn't have a left hand😱😱😱... & you're telling me regardless, somehow *nobody* has been able to replicate his scoring feats... oMG js imagine if he actually used both hands... lol this is why nobody takes yall delusional 🍒 scratching fanboys seriously 😂 Dominating the game historically wasn't enough now he has to equally dominate the left / right side of the floor. Like OP said, yall have nothing but "💧👶🏼" to bring to the table, feelings to a fact fight. That fact being Mj is better than all of your fav. players 😂
18:35. Great editing, my guy! The two and a half minute highlights with the music is DOPE! MJ was so freaking phenomenal- even with just layups! Don’t know if it has a name, so I call it MJ’s signature windmill layups. Keep up the great work dude!
9 All Defensive Awards Defensive Player of the Year 200+ steals 100+ blocks twice (only player) 3x steals champion. When MJ retired, he was regarded as the greatest defensive player at his position. They're trying to change the narrative today.
Thank you for breaking things down without bias. If you know ball you already knew these things about MJ as a phenom talent but never broke down the comparisons like this. Amazing defender and IQ. Social media is making people dumb
For those of you who didn’t get to see Michael Jordan play. His game was one of a kind. Once in a lifetime. He could score better than KD. He could defend like Kawhi. He could dunk like Greek Freak He had a motor like Russ. All in one body. He was the best offensive player and defensive player in the league in the same player. Add in he was the most athletic player in the league and had the best work ethic to match. Long Live the GOAT
Jonny - thank you for posting this!!!!!! His skill and entertainment level is why people believe he's the GOAT. The whole "SiX riNgS" argument is nothing but a post-hoc argument created by uninformed fans long after he retired. Its not the argument people were making while he was active.
My point is that “six rings” is not what people were arguing when mj was active. His GOAT case was not built on stats or rings when he was playing. It was built on something completely different. Hell, even if he never won a single ring, there would still be some old heads arguing he is still the GOAT. I just think that the six rings argument is not what makes him the goat and created this weird “ringz” culture that completely misses the essence of what makes an all time great player
@@huuuubaah that's not all though, you literally insulted people who use six rings as an argument, when in fact it's a better argument than anything you could come up with.
@@Renegade-kf8fp Mahomes is doing special things out there. The KC Chiefs lost Tyreek Hill and didn't have special defense, and Mahomes still went out and get the job done instead of complaining. He's already greater than somebody like Lebron for example, on the sports greatness hierarchy.
We'll never see his like again. The closest thing we'll ever get to MJ was Kobe, and I'm grateful that I got to witness Kobe's entire career. But there's only one Jordan; he was the best and no one else is even in the discussion.
were playing Detroit, and I came out on fire in the first half. I think I had 17-18 points, half-a-dozen rebounds, a couple of blocks - playing like an All-Star," said Longley in an interview with Australian media back in 2014.
I saw Superman turn black, take his cape off, change his name from "Clark" to "Mike" ...and proceed to terrorize the entire NBA. And when you saw him out there in his prime, you KNEW he could beat any team by himself on a given night. No other player in living memory has ever been so much better than the opposition
Finally a breath of fresh air. Well done reshaping the stale "goat" debate into something that can actually be measured. I watched and VHS taped every Jordan game i could in the 80's and early 90's(my high school years). It's almost like you had to see it live to believe it, and it still didn't seem possible the things he did. I was watching an MJ reaction video and they said it was AI computer enhanced. I'm sorry they never got to see, he was that good. He was the cheat code.
We’re seeing how quickly people forget greatness and how good Jordan really was, all it takes is a generation or two. I think the younger generations that never watched him look at Jordan’s accomplishments and they have to find a way to rationalise how good him and his career actually was by criticising the era and competition he played against, overrating his teammates ect. Kinda like what we do to Wilt and his records and stats.
jj redick was a slow-spot-up shooter with no defence. How is he calling anyone a plumber when he was a career role player. He couldn't hold birds jock strap.
It's a common sense, how will you dominate your era if you don't have a left. How will you carry your team to a 6 peat if your move will always go to your right. This is the most funny thing I ever heard 🤣😂
It’s INSANE how durable Michael was! 1 broken foot in his 2nd year and that was it! And I don’t wanna hear LeBron or any of this…. he was tackled on a nightly basis!
These kids don't get it. When we who watched him say MJ is GOAT we don't mean GOAT in basketball, he's GOAT athlete across all sports. That's how superior this man was. It was insane. I don't care about we done with 90s or whatever lol it gives me great satisfaction they will never get to see him do his thing in real time, sure you can look it up on youtube but you can't go back in time to experience that hype again. He was the most popular person on the planet in a pre social media era for a reason. And you just weren't there to witness it. That's tough.
trust me if Wemby or Ant get enough attention that they may be considered on the level of Jordan all of the haters will come out to tear them down in order to protect Jordans so called legacy LOL.
Great work, Jonny! I especially like the first video. I think that a GOAT case can be made for several athletes - and the GOAT cases you made were all solid - but I agree that MJ is the GOAT. I had seen the Bobby Knight clip before, but not the clips with Isaiah or Magic. They're great. MJ is absolutely amazing - and it's incredible how he was called the greatest even before any getting any accolade. Will we see someone better than him in the future? Perhaps, but it'll be tough to surpass him. Man, those who say they're "done with the 90s" and those who say MJ has no left hand annoy me too. The cherry picking is terrible. SMH. The compilation of mess-ups from today's NBA that you shared is hilarious - the music is perfect lol. Great way to show the ridiculousness of the cherry picking. I love the video about MJ's last all-star game. It was incredible. Such an epic matchup - especially how MJ and Kobe gave it their all. I like the intensity that both brought - and how they both pushed their teams to play good defense. Truly a game to remember. Last, but not least, I like what you said: "It takes a team to win in the NBA." I think that this is often forgotten - too often. I too dislike how it's used to argue that the 90s is a "weak era" - even though it's not. Each era has its strengths and weaknesses and there's much to enjoy in every era. Great job debunking the false narrative of the 90s being weak. Solid information about how each of the teams that the Bulls faced in the NBA Finals in the 90s were all solid. Take care. Have a nice Sunday, Jonny! :]
I don’t know how long has been I’m a subscriber in this channel and still I never think of unsubscribing it. I’m not always doing a lot of comments but hopefully being a subscriber of your channel only shows how good you are. Kudos to you another good video again.
Dude was defensive player of the year in 88 and 9 times All-defensive first team so there's something to this. It's a big claim but it's true that for his position and for his height dude was one hell of a shot blocker. There weren't many who could challenge MJ in the air.
Throughout all of the championships. Jordan and the Bulls never had to go to a game 7 in any of their championships. That’s a stat I never hear anyone talk about.
Lebron Fan Girls: MJ's moves arent spectacular nowadays. Many Highschoolers doing it everyday. Oh yeah were they doing it against NBA players? The level of hypothyroidism in Lebron Fan girls is sickening.
@@jonnyarnettIsiah has always given Jordan his props. He didn’t change his opinions on Jordan. He’s always had the angst from the Dream Team. But whenever Isiah talks about “basketball” he doesn’t change his opinion. I wish Isiah wouldn’t have repeatedly addressed the “Dream Team “ issue. It has taken away from all the great things he’s ALWAYS said about MJ. Unfortunately, it is the clips and hot takes about Isiah being left off the Dream Team, has fueled the narrative that Isiah hated Jordan. Anyway. Isiah called Jokic’s run to greatness, before any one else. Honestly, at the time I thought he was off, but what I’ve realized about Isiah is that he has a great basketball mind. The players he drafted (T.Mac) the players he encouraged and mentored early (Kevin Garnett) If you really look for it, you won’t find too many videos where Isiah was disrespectful of Jordan. Isiah is just the guy who everyone focuses on his failures, and it marginalizes all the great things he’s done, or in this case ~ the great things he’s said … Pippen and Barkley’s issues with Jordan is personal and much of it has nothing to do with basketball. FTR I will continue to say, it was wrong to leave Isiah off the Dream Team… that was personal from Jordan to Isiah, and Jordan personally denied Isiah that part of his legacy. Isiah never got to win a Gold medal, because of the 1980 boycott. Just my opinion. I always supported Isiah, the first “small guy” to lead his team to multiple championships. Prior to Isiah Thomas, the best player in a championship team was never a small PG~ Even if you include the 70’s… Rick Barry, Dennis Johnson who were the best players on championship teams, they were bigger guards and forwards…. Something that is often missed when talking about basketball history. Only Steph has matched that, and if not for KD, Steph probably doesn’t get more than the one championship. Respect Isiah for being the greatest small guard to play in the NBA!
@@cd2ogz1 While MJs personality works quite well in competitive sports, it's not in the real world. I like MJ a lot but he's the definition of "Never meet your heroes". But for Pippen's case, not really MJs fault. The others, Jordan have a part.
@@jonnyarnett I think with Barkley his job totally forgot he had a friendship 1st with MJ. I think a call should've been made n letting him know how he felt about MJ ownership with Charlotte..... Pippen feel away about MJ because of MJ son dating his ex wife n Isaiah well when u physically tryna hurt me to win a game i wouldn't have no respect for him either , even tho MJ always put Zeke 2nd to Magic as being 1 of the best PG n the NBA. N walking out after a lost was a bitch move by Isaiah .
Im really greatful you made this video. I get it that the younger generation is tired of hearing about how great the 90's were(Jordan and the Bulls), but we can't just let it be forgotten as the best era of all time! SO FAR! It doesn't mean that there could be another era better and someone to dethrone Jordan, but it will be very hard to do! I'm really glad how you showed the "lowlights" of this generation. I feel like this is kinda what happened to the WNBA. It wasn't until I started watching some WNBA games cause of Caitlin Clark that I realized WNBA has got some damn good players and games. I watched mostly Fever games, but I've been watching Vegas Aces, Connecticut Sun, and Seattle Storm as well. It's some pretty damn good ball(minus the refs, that needs to change). So I think WNBA has been given a bad name and is gonna start doing really good. Great video, thanks!
MJ is why many people watched basketball- just look at the ratings. I know I watched a lot less after he retired. He was poetry in motion and had the right on court attitude. Nobody could consistently take over a game like he could. I try to watch basketball now and just can't. Teams chucking 3s, slacking on defense, walking, travelling, carrying, flopping, crying to officials, blow outs in the playoffs/finals, etc. just doesn't interest me.
If context matters, which smart folk know it does, the best shooters played in the era prior to what we've seen since 2000. Look at the defense being played, where & when the shots are taken and the actual %ages.
The three big attempted knocks on Jordan are the no left hand lie, the no real competition lie, and the terrible 3pt shooter lie. Jordan had a very good left hand game. While it wasn’t as good as say Larry Bird, it was still solid. Part of the Pistons Jordan Rules tactics, were to meet him before the top of the key & force him left. He averaged 34 ppg against those pistons teams, so obviously it didn’t work. The no competition lie is just hilarious. Dude played against some of the best of the best of the best. Magic, Bird, Malone, Drexler, Shaq, Robinson, Barkley, Penny, Olajuwon, Thomas, Ewing, Rodman, to name just some. These are HOF and top 50 player guys. The 3pt one is also funny. He was just .04 under the league average during the regular season, but was at 40% during the playoffs/finals, when it REALLY mattered. He also only shot .75 threes per game on average, so he was still just slightly short of league average, while now even averaging 1 three per game.
Im from Australia and i've watched the man who lives vertically since 1990. I love the bulls, I love pip and MJ is just years ahead of LeBron. Kobe is closer to the respect than LeBron, in my opinion. The man who gravity pays no mind to. Michael Jeffrey Jordan, the air up there. AIR TIME, HANG TIME. Fadeaway, key drives, dunk on everyone, mindset, speed, blocking, defense. Absolutely beautifully built for basketball. RESPECT, RESPECT, RESPECT. GREATEST OF ALL TIME. Kids today don't understand. Just listen to hall of gamers and what they say about MJ. If you talk shit about this great man, than as Mr T said, "Your a damn fool". Peace out.
he had no left? umm, his left was just as good as good as his right, no argument.Thats exactly why he is the goat.Its crazy the asenine stuff these young kids say lol.
MJ is the goat, he played vs beast like Hakeem, young shaq, mailman,robinson hitting him hard every night, not soft players like Joke etc who play zero D
There have been other great athletes in the NBA, even better physically but they didn’t have it in between the ears to sustain and dominate like MJ. MJ worked out feverishly gaining muscle after Pistons beat him up in the postseason. Sacrificing some speed for strength and endurance. Haven’t seen anyone except maybe.the late Kobe that matches that intensity.
The problem with this younger generation is their inability to think objectively & critically, and lacking appreciation and respect. That's why they are unable to judge & make comparison without the need to downgrade something in order to uplift their own opinions/biases. They are quick to disregard and dismiss previous generations without taking the time to view previous generations objectively.

@NamTran-xc2ip That's fair. LeBron, MJ, and Kareem are in my top 3. I don't have a set list outside of those players yet, though.
Absolutely phenomenal video, Jonny! The debate was already over, but this video absolutely closes the book!
The first part is incredible. Before all kinds of weird narratives, everyone was just in awe, audience, peers, and legends

@@rockysalvatore435 MJ did not ruin basketball. He fucking made it a global sensation and the NBA reached its peak in his prime surpassing the equally impressive dynasty rivalry of Lakers and Celtics in the 80s. It's not his fault he set the bar so damn high that the NBA just can't seem to replicate that peak anymore.

That Bobby Knight interview from 1984 is crazy.
I can always appreciate someone seeing something in a young player and just calling it in the moment instead of waiting. Kinda like Mark Jackson saying what he said about the splash bros when they were still pups.
@@quinnjackson731Right, when you know it you just know it. After watching LeBron play Coach Knight still said Jordan and it's not even close.
He didnt add the best part. You draft Michael Jordan, you need a center? Draft Michael Jordan and play him at center.
I"m 69 years old I have seen a lot of great Basketball players , a lot of players that people reading this comment have never heard of , players like Connie Hawkins , Nat Archibald , Bernard King ,Earl Monroe Gail Goodrich , all great basketball players just not superstars , there has only been one GOAT in my time of watching Basketball and that is Michael Jordan .
I've watched old videos of all of those players, I personally think King was a superstar but just injured too much to display it at the top of his game.
@@rdogletree4543 Yeah King was a heck of a offensive player , but like you said Injury , and they didn't have the expertise back then dealing with knee injuries that they have today

Jordan is the measuring stick. When someone becomes the measuring stick you know they’re the 🐐.
I JUST SAW THE BEST BASKETBALL PLAYER
BOBBY KNIGHT
R.I.P. COACH YOU SPOKE TRUTH 🙏
MJ has the greatest highlight tape out of any player. So glad i can watch them whenever i want to.
I became a basketball fan because of MJ. From the 80s till the present NBA no one has come close to his legacy. The Greatest Basketball Player of All Time! Thank you Jonny for this video.
no one has come close to the legacy created by Nike and the Nba and brought into by you all but in reality LeBron has passed him in a number of areas
lol
@@JamesSmith-c2b
Let's start easy.
10 x Topscorer. (Record)
Most trophies.
Most MVP Awards (Finals + Season)
Most points per game in the finals.
Most points per game in the playoffs.
Most points per game alltime.
The only player in 60 years with more than 3,000 points in a season.
Most efficient player (27,9)in the history.
Plus 3x steal leader
The first and only one player with MVP, DPOY and top scorer in a season.
The only player (with Pippen as far as the pure 3-peats are concerned) ) with 2 x 3-peat + 6 Finals MVP.
Second 3-peat= 2 x MVP, 3 x Finals MVP, 3x Topscorer, 3 x All- Defense Team without missing a single game.
6:0 Finals win record
At the age of 35- NBA Champion, MVP, Finals MVP, Allstar Game MVP, All NBA First Team, All Defense First Team.
The only player (by a huge margin) who was top scorer 9 times and at the same time in the First All Defense Team.
All of this in 12 seasons with the Bulls (86'only a few games due to a serious injury + 95' very late comeback only a few games=which doesn't even add up to half a season)
When he played as pointguard in March-April 89' (test) = 7 triple doubles in a row, 10 triple doubles from 11 games ( 33,6 Points average, 10,8 Rebounds average, 11,4 Assists average), 15 triple doubles total, in a few weeks.
Now you can come with the state padder's 21 years, but don't forget...No. 1 in turnovers overall and on average( It's good that the referees don't whistle for his double-step errors...), one of the worst final win rates in history. 4 titles in 21 years, Run to other teams, pick out
Thank you for this vid because these youngsters need to be taught!!! MJ did these amazing things against a leagues that was 100 x’s harder with the physicality of an overseas “rugby” mentality!!!
one GOAT making a video about another GOAT...THANK
YOU JOHNNY...made my day with a couple of beers...greetings from austria
Mj isn't the goat. Media made just like curry lbj
The media didn't make any of them shots@@rockysalvatore435
Bobby Knight: "Take Jordan at #1"
Rockets: "We need a Centre, tho.."
Bobby Knight: "Play Jordan at Centre..."
That’s one of my favorite all-time quotes. It’s so Bobby Knight, haha!
Them saying they need a center while having Ralph Sampson is hilarious.. and I love Hakeem
That was aimed towards the Trail Blazers, who picked Sam Bowie second
One of my favorite things, Jordan hit the hard shot over Marion, I don’t think he fell to the ground, he didn’t try to get a foul called, and he runs back to the other side. In the all star game, no one is even expected to hustle and play D, and still, at the end, Jordan is running. That is one of the many things that makes him THE GOAT
What kills me about the whole "debate" is that we have film on every single game. I know it's not HD but it's not degraded black & white film either, and we have every stat recorded. It's not like stories you hear about Jack Johnson, Babe Ruth or Bruce Lee where you just have a very limited amount of grainy footage to go off of and just have to either believe whoever is telling you all these unbelievable things or not but Jordan's career is 100% verifiable and his case for the goat is undeniable.
You cannot make a valid case for anyone against Jordan's resume, eye test, per game stats or clutch, maybe one category but blown away at the rest. So all the "kings" men have to claim that chips and mvp's, per game and season stats don't matter because it's the total body of work and that everyone in the league before 2000 was a plumber and discredit the players from the era because that's all they've got.
Eye test Jordan's the goat with the second greatest dynasty ever, he was the best player on the greatest team ever assembled, he was the best player on the greatest NBA team ever, he's the greatest scorer ever, the greatest defensive guard, the biggest bag, the best finisher, the best midrange game, the most clutch and the greatest competitor ever. Compared to other shooting guards he's top 3 in every major statistical category, per game AND total, except for assists but he's 6th all time in that! Per game and career! No other player comes anywhere close to that at any position.
He's not just the GOAT of basketball he's the GOAT of sports period.

Ever heard of Don Bradman? Bradman was statistically almost twice as good as anyone else who has played his sport before or after him. Your long winded comment IS false and all you did was expose your lack of sporting knowledge full stop.
@@JamesSmith-c2b You think that was long winded? Go get a snack and a drink for this one.
So what was false about it other than your claim that a cricketer is the greatest sportsman ever or at least better than Jordan???
No, I haven't heard of Don Bradman but I looked him up. Interesting career but not without his own controversy taking a "duck?" on his last outing to keep his career batting percentage among other things. I ain't going to front, I don't know 💩 about cricket but when I look up, best cricketer, he gets some #1's but usually 2nd or 3rd to some other guys I've never heard of so he's not even cut and dry the best in his own sport. Now the best batter ever, he's got it every time. Cool.
Sounds like a legendary guy but we're talking about the best EVER! I looked up plenty of top sportsman of all time lists and he made a few. #29 out of 50 and 80 something out of 100. No top 10 or 25 lists but you know who was on top of all of them except 1? You guessed it, Michael Jordan and he was #2 on the one list he wasn't 1st and I looked at the first 7 or 8 that came up on my search. He's mixed in with people like Babe Ruth, Jim Thorpe and Ali, you know, people we've all heard of. It's not like I'm making some wild claim or anything and the more I study on it, the more I'm convinced it's true. You're the one who's just pulling some random mf'r out the hat and acting like "Don Bradman" is really someone to take serious when talking about the best ever in sports and acting like if I haven't heard of him then I don't know anything about sports. Lmao!!!!
I will acknowledge that maybe these lists don't take sports like crickets into consideration enough when making these lists and give US sports the most consideration but come on, what am I supposed to do? Your guy isn't even top 25 on anything or anything eye opening to deserve a deeper look so maybe you might need to reevaluate how much you think you know about sports?
I agree with almost everything you said except one thing. I think we actually don’t have all of the video footage of especially 1980’s M.J., which makes me wonder how much longer his highlight reels would actually be if we had all that footage!?
@@JamesSmith-c2bnobody has heard of him because he played a hundred years ago against nobodies in a sport that nobody cared to watch or play.

First of all we're not talking about the game of cricket from the mid-20s we're talking about basketball NBA basketball pro basketball the gentleman who made this long-winded comment said nothing about Jordan B the best athlete of all time statistically so go back and reread the long comment. Jordan is top three in almost every statistical category there is concerning the NBA not Cricket not bowling not Billiards not stamp collecting or butterfly catching or synchronized swimming but in the NBA basketball genre of professional sports as it relates to stat, the play of his game, his movement on the court as well as his off court ambassador-esque image. The writer says GOAT of ALL SPORTS as it pertains to thise metrics. if you have if you have any empirical information that will refute Jordan being top three in almost every stat known to NBA basketball then provide your evidence here otherwise reread what this guy is saying and govern your comments accordingly
From NY but Been a Boston Fan since 1985 at the age of 11 ...but watching Jordan play made me actually pick up a Basketball at the age of 12....buying " come fly with me" VHS tapes watching it every time before my game ... I wanted to b like Mike being a Boston Fan n still is a Boston fan n i have no problem with saying that Jordan is the Greatest player i ever seen in the History of Basketball.
Thank you for making this video. Those of us old enough to have watched Jordan live know without a shadow of a doubt this man’s GOAT status is not threatened and never has been. Not only the GOAT NBA player but the GOAT of North American sports.
Facts, I keep telling em, it's not a comparison!
Because of his inspired play, Jordan could not help but shower the 7-footer with praise at halftime.
"For the first time ever, because Michael was very cautious with his praise, he came into the locker room high-fiving me, slapping me, hugging me, saying, 'Man, you play like that, we’re going to win the world championship. That’s awesome! You’re an All-Star. Why don’t you play like that every day? I knew you had it in you,'" Longley added
I really have to thank Jonny for this, but there is one burning question.
If one does not appreciate the legends who made basketball impactful and are done with previous decades, are they even fans of basketball?
I would argue that they’re not. They’re fans of their favorite players, almost as if they care about the actor more than the movie they play in. They view their favorite players like celebrities, and that’s what they’re passionate about, to the point that they’ll attempt to diminish basketball itself.
Thank you Jonny for this series. They don't let reality get in the way of their agendas.
Michael Jordan made basketball look easy and he’s the stylistically pleasing player i’ve ever seen (sorry Magic).

You are a clueless clown 🤡
The most memorable block I witnessed in College basketball. Maryland had the opportunity to win the game at the end. Lefty Driesel called a play for his son which was totally unexpected and would have succeeded except Michael Jordon played for Carolina. It looked like the play was going to succeed but MJ appeared out of no where and pinned the ball against the glass and brought it down with both hands. Amazing!
@jonnyarnett Thank you for Keeping it HONEST! This is a perfect perspective on how you see the GOAT
Lebron fan boys who claim MJ had no left look like clowns when you go back and watch all the amazing shots MJ doing with his left hand.
Just because you can score with your left hand doesn’t mean you can dribble good or set up shots with consistency. Where was most of his offense generated and where’d he always wanna go? To his right!
@@WonBoii411 "Most of his offense generated from his right.." - That is a complete lie, and just shows how clueless you are. There are many statistical breakdowns of Jordan offense going both left and right, and it shows almost equal usage. As a matter of fact, Jordan has the most balanced left/right usage of any player in NBA history. Also, go watch any of his games during his career, and I mean any.. nobody was saying Jordan had no left back then. This lie was started by Bron D riders, cause they got nothing else to bring to the table.
@@WonBoii411 Jordan's most famous dunk, where he escaped the two man trap from the left side corner to slam the ball down on Ewing was from the left side with his left dribble.
@@WonBoii411So you're telling me the greatest scorer of all-time... a 10x scoring champ... career 30.1ppg... 7 40ppg playoff series... 63pts against a 67 win no.1 defense... didn't have a left hand😱😱😱... & you're telling me regardless, somehow *nobody* has been able to replicate his scoring feats... oMG js imagine if he actually used both hands... lol this is why nobody takes yall delusional 🍒 scratching fanboys seriously 😂
Dominating the game historically wasn't enough now he has to equally dominate the left / right side of the floor.
Like OP said, yall have nothing but "💧👶🏼" to bring to the table, feelings to a fact fight. That fact being Mj is better than all of your fav. players 😂
@@WonBoii411You sound stupid af. Go on. I love it😂😂
Amazing work as usual 👏🏻 thank you so much
Skill wise & athleticism is what they talking about
Even NBA players are saying "Do you see what this guy's been doing?" There as much in shock as we are at MJ's abilities.
I became a basketball fan because of MJ and since he retired, I never watched another NBA game!

Thanks! That means a lot. Wouldn't be uploading if people like you weren't dropping in :)
18:35. Great editing, my guy! The two and a half minute highlights with the music is DOPE! MJ was so freaking phenomenal- even with just layups! Don’t know if it has a name, so I call it MJ’s signature windmill layups. Keep up the great work dude!
Some say it was his ability to combine fundamentals and streetball that made him the Goat
@jonnyarnett
if that Jordan's (left hand) complilation don't shut the haters up.. I literally don't know what will!
The bad defense thing is incredible. How many all defense teams? A record 9. And how much load management did he take? Zero. 🐐
9 All Defensive Awards
Defensive Player of the Year
200+ steals 100+ blocks twice (only player)
3x steals champion.
When MJ retired, he was regarded as the greatest defensive player at his position.
They're trying to change the narrative today.
It’s so funny how Isiah has changed his opinion, like we don’t have him on record in the past 😆
It's called BEEF!
Tbf opinions change over time, so u can’t blame him
What? So MJ is just undeniably better than everyone else in the future? What a retarded take
my glorious king upload another marathon 👑 youll just keep growing and growing
Thank you for breaking things down without bias. If you know ball you already knew these things about MJ as a phenom talent but never broke down the comparisons like this. Amazing defender and IQ. Social media is making people dumb
For those of you who didn’t get to see Michael Jordan play. His game was one of a kind. Once in a lifetime. He could score better than KD. He could defend like Kawhi. He could dunk like Greek Freak He had a motor like Russ. All in one body. He was the best offensive player and defensive player in the league in the same player.
Add in he was the most athletic player in the league and had the best work ethic to match. Long Live the GOAT
I saw him play almost all his career and everything you said is true.
Nothing beyond the truth.

@@17thN.Oyou guys are in lust with him huh. Straight up lying
Jonny - thank you for posting this!!!!!! His skill and entertainment level is why people believe he's the GOAT. The whole "SiX riNgS" argument is nothing but a post-hoc argument created by uninformed fans long after he retired. Its not the argument people were making while he was active.
Skill and entertainment are subjective, six rings are objective. I prefer facts.
If you use skill and entertainment as your argument in a real debate, your opponent will just laugh at you lmao.
My point is that “six rings” is not what people were arguing when mj was active. His GOAT case was not built on stats or rings when he was playing. It was built on something completely different. Hell, even if he never won a single ring, there would still be some old heads arguing he is still the GOAT. I just think that the six rings argument is not what makes him the goat and created this weird “ringz” culture that completely misses the essence of what makes an all time great player
@@huuuubaah that's not all though, you literally insulted people who use six rings as an argument, when in fact it's a better argument than anything you could come up with.

We'll never see his like again. The closest thing we'll ever get to MJ was Kobe, and I'm grateful that I got to witness Kobe's entire career. But there's only one Jordan; he was the best and no one else is even in the discussion.

were playing Detroit, and I came out on fire in the first half. I think I had 17-18 points, half-a-dozen rebounds, a couple of blocks - playing like an All-Star," said Longley in an interview with Australian media back in 2014.
I saw Superman turn black, take his cape off, change his name from "Clark" to "Mike" ...and proceed to terrorize the entire NBA.
And when you saw him out there in his prime, you KNEW he could beat any team by himself on a given night.
No other player in living memory has ever been so much better than the opposition

Finally a breath of fresh air. Well done reshaping the stale "goat" debate into something that can actually be measured.

It's almost like you had to see it live to believe it, and it still didn't seem possible the things he did.

Michael Jordan’s Best Player all time goat 🐐 king 👑 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Love these compilations Johnny! Looking forward to 200 questions when you get there
We’re seeing how quickly people forget greatness and how good Jordan really was, all it takes is a generation or two.
I think the younger generations that never watched him look at Jordan’s accomplishments and they have to find a way to rationalise how good him and his career actually was by criticising the era and competition he played against, overrating his teammates ect. Kinda like what we do to Wilt and his records and stats.
Most of this generation actually copy his moves
The best all around player The game has ever seen, no weaknesses, defensive or offensive
mj is fundamentals with elegance.
jj redick was a slow-spot-up shooter with no defence. How is he calling anyone a plumber when he was a career role player. He couldn't hold birds jock strap.
I also love the Wilt criticism that he never played against other tall players. The facts show otherwise.
MJ is too good
i grew up hating MJ because he beat all the teams im rooting for but eventually he earned my respect.The GOAT
It's a common sense, how will you dominate your era if you don't have a left. How will you carry your team to a 6 peat if your move will always go to your right. This is the most funny thing I ever heard 🤣😂
the only way you rank anyone above Jordan is by never watching Jordan play. that man WAS basketball.
That luc Longley game was a game in Detroit
It’s INSANE how durable Michael was! 1 broken foot in his 2nd year and that was it! And I don’t wanna hear LeBron or any of this…. he was tackled on a nightly basis!
These kids don't get it. When we who watched him say MJ is GOAT we don't mean GOAT in basketball, he's GOAT athlete across all sports. That's how superior this man was. It was insane. I don't care about we done with 90s or whatever lol it gives me great satisfaction they will never get to see him do his thing in real time, sure you can look it up on youtube but you can't go back in time to experience that hype again. He was the most popular person on the planet in a pre social media era for a reason. And you just weren't there to witness it. That's tough.

Great work, Jonny! I especially like the first video. I think that a GOAT case can be made for several athletes - and the GOAT cases you made were all solid - but I agree that MJ is the GOAT. I had seen the Bobby Knight clip before, but not the clips with Isaiah or Magic. They're great. MJ is absolutely amazing - and it's incredible how he was called the greatest even before any getting any accolade. Will we see someone better than him in the future? Perhaps, but it'll be tough to surpass him.
Man, those who say they're "done with the 90s" and those who say MJ has no left hand annoy me too. The cherry picking is terrible. SMH. The compilation of mess-ups from today's NBA that you shared is hilarious - the music is perfect lol. Great way to show the ridiculousness of the cherry picking.
I love the video about MJ's last all-star game. It was incredible. Such an epic matchup - especially how MJ and Kobe gave it their all. I like the intensity that both brought - and how they both pushed their teams to play good defense. Truly a game to remember.
Last, but not least, I like what you said: "It takes a team to win in the NBA." I think that this is often forgotten - too often. I too dislike how it's used to argue that the 90s is a "weak era" - even though it's not. Each era has its strengths and weaknesses and there's much to enjoy in every era. Great job debunking the false narrative of the 90s being weak. Solid information about how each of the teams that the Bulls faced in the NBA Finals in the 90s were all solid.
Take care. Have a nice Sunday, Jonny! :]
I don’t know how long has been I’m a subscriber in this channel and still I never think of unsubscribing it. I’m not always doing a lot of comments but hopefully being a subscriber of your channel only shows how good you are. Kudos to you another good video again.
This all star game is incredible
Dude was defensive player of the year in 88 and 9 times All-defensive first team so there's something to this. It's a big claim but it's true that for his position and for his height dude was one hell of a shot blocker. There weren't many who could challenge MJ in the air.
Throughout all of the championships. Jordan and the Bulls never had to go to a game 7 in any of their championships. That’s a stat I never hear anyone talk about.
Lebron Fan Girls: MJ's moves arent spectacular nowadays. Many Highschoolers doing it everyday.
Oh yeah were they doing it against NBA players? The level of hypothyroidism in Lebron Fan girls is sickening.
Another MJ video 🥹❤️
I think Jordan has done so much for basketball and The NBA that he has earned the right to be The NBA Logo
I.T. had a lot of love for MJ
Used to. Sad how MJ's relationships have soured over time. Barkley, Isiah and Pippen, just to name a few.
@@jonnyarnettIsiah has always given Jordan his props.
He didn’t change his opinions on Jordan.
He’s always had the angst from the Dream Team.
But whenever Isiah talks about “basketball” he doesn’t change his opinion.
I wish Isiah wouldn’t have repeatedly addressed the “Dream Team “ issue. It has taken away from all the great things he’s ALWAYS said about MJ.
Unfortunately, it is the clips and hot takes about Isiah being left off the Dream Team, has fueled the narrative that Isiah hated Jordan.
Anyway.
Isiah called Jokic’s run to greatness, before any one else.
Honestly, at the time I thought he was off, but what I’ve realized about Isiah is that he has a great basketball mind. The players he drafted (T.Mac) the players he encouraged and mentored early (Kevin Garnett)
If you really look for it, you won’t find too many videos where Isiah was disrespectful of Jordan.
Isiah is just the guy who everyone focuses on his failures, and it marginalizes all the great things he’s done, or in this case ~ the great things he’s said …
Pippen and Barkley’s issues with Jordan is personal and much of it has nothing to do with basketball.
FTR I will continue to say, it was wrong to leave Isiah off the Dream Team… that was personal from Jordan to Isiah, and Jordan personally denied Isiah that part of his legacy. Isiah never got to win a Gold medal, because of the 1980 boycott.
Just my opinion.
I always supported Isiah, the first “small guy” to lead his team to multiple championships. Prior to Isiah Thomas, the best player in a championship team was never a small PG~
Even if you include the 70’s… Rick Barry, Dennis Johnson who were the best players on championship teams, they were bigger guards and forwards….
Something that is often missed when talking about basketball history.
Only Steph has matched that, and if not for KD, Steph probably doesn’t get more than the one championship.
Respect Isiah for being the greatest small guard to play in the NBA!
@jonnyarnett
in your opinion, but did those relationships turned sour bc of Mike?
@@cd2ogz1 While MJs personality works quite well in competitive sports, it's not in the real world. I like MJ a lot but he's the definition of "Never meet your heroes".
But for Pippen's case, not really MJs fault. The others, Jordan have a part.
@@jonnyarnett I think with Barkley his job totally forgot he had a friendship 1st with MJ. I think a call should've been made n letting him know how he felt about MJ ownership with Charlotte..... Pippen feel away about MJ because of MJ son dating his ex wife n Isaiah well when u physically tryna hurt me to win a game i wouldn't have no respect for him either , even tho MJ always put Zeke 2nd to Magic as being 1 of the best PG n the NBA. N walking out after a lost was a bitch move by Isaiah .
The funny part is Isiah Thomas was pissed about the Dreamteam situation but never said thier was someone else who was the greatest of all time!
Im really greatful you made this video. I get it that the younger generation is tired of hearing about how great the 90's were(Jordan and the Bulls), but we can't just let it be forgotten as the best era of all time! SO FAR! It doesn't mean that there could be another era better and someone to dethrone Jordan, but it will be very hard to do! I'm really glad how you showed the "lowlights" of this generation. I feel like this is kinda what happened to the WNBA. It wasn't until I started watching some WNBA games cause of Caitlin Clark that I realized WNBA has got some damn good players and games. I watched mostly Fever games, but I've been watching Vegas Aces, Connecticut Sun, and Seattle Storm as well. It's some pretty damn good ball(minus the refs, that needs to change). So I think WNBA has been given a bad name and is gonna start doing really good. Great video, thanks!
MJ had no weaknesses.
MJ is why many people watched basketball- just look at the ratings. I know I watched a lot less after he retired. He was poetry in motion and had the right on court attitude. Nobody could consistently take over a game like he could.
I try to watch basketball now and just can't. Teams chucking 3s, slacking on defense, walking, travelling, carrying, flopping, crying to officials, blow outs in the playoffs/finals, etc. just doesn't interest me.
ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY SEVEN THOUSAND!!🎆🎇🎆🎇🎉🎉🎉
If context matters, which smart folk know it does, the best shooters played in the era prior to what we've seen since 2000. Look at the defense being played, where & when the shots are taken and the actual %ages.
I'm reaching out for your prayers and support. Please keep me in your thoughts for a speedy recovery.
"THE JORDAN RULE"
Before he ever won a Championship, I was Already Looking For The Next Best Thing.
The three big attempted knocks on Jordan are the no left hand lie, the no real competition lie, and the terrible 3pt shooter lie.
Jordan had a very good left hand game. While it wasn’t as good as say Larry Bird, it was still solid. Part of the Pistons Jordan Rules tactics, were to meet him before the top of the key & force him left. He averaged 34 ppg against those pistons teams, so obviously it didn’t work.
The no competition lie is just hilarious. Dude played against some of the best of the best of the best. Magic, Bird, Malone, Drexler, Shaq, Robinson, Barkley, Penny, Olajuwon, Thomas, Ewing, Rodman, to name just some. These are HOF and top 50 player guys.
The 3pt one is also funny. He was just .04 under the league average during the regular season, but was at 40% during the playoffs/finals, when it REALLY mattered. He also only shot .75 threes per game on average, so he was still just slightly short of league average, while now even averaging 1 three per game.
Jordan's ball control and dunk/layup selection makes LeBrons Tomahawk Slam look a little lame 😂
The tape don't lie and it's not AI...MJ IS THE GOAT 🐐
Or choose to forget how great the competition was in the 90s
Jordan & Kobe praised Elgin Baylor. They said that Elgin was Jordan & Kobe before them!
That was top tier Mario kart music for the low lights those dang on bananas 🍌 whoever did that man 😂
KYRIE WOULD BE AN AVERAGE PLAYER IN THE 80s
Im from Australia and i've watched the man who lives vertically since 1990.
I love the bulls, I love pip and MJ is just years ahead of LeBron.
Kobe is closer to the respect than LeBron, in my opinion.
The man who gravity pays no mind to.
Michael Jeffrey Jordan, the air up there.
AIR TIME, HANG TIME.
Fadeaway, key drives, dunk on everyone, mindset, speed, blocking, defense.
Absolutely beautifully built for basketball.
RESPECT, RESPECT, RESPECT.
GREATEST OF ALL TIME.
Kids today don't understand. Just listen to hall of gamers and what they say about MJ.
If you talk shit about this great man, than as Mr T said, "Your a damn fool". Peace out.
Thank you for this!
MJ 🐐
The Dream had great foot work like Elgin Baylor!
He have to be the goat then he only had 1 hand and accomplished all that with just a right hand that solidified it hands down I mean hand down sorry
Thing about jordan is he mite very well be the better at his job then anybody has ever been at theirs.
might*
And Anthony Edwards, although great, is much more like Dwyane Wade. He’s no Jordan.
he had no left? umm, his left was just as good as good as his right, no argument.Thats exactly why he is the goat.Its crazy the asenine stuff these young kids say lol.
MJ is the goat, he played vs beast like Hakeem, young shaq, mailman,robinson hitting him hard every night, not soft players like Joke etc who play zero D
Man they called him the goat in college
I don't like Bobby Knight. But you have to respect his basketball knowledge. I believe what he said about MJ. 👍🏽💯
There have been other great athletes in the NBA, even better physically but they didn’t have it in between the ears to sustain and dominate like MJ. MJ worked out feverishly gaining muscle after Pistons beat him up in the postseason. Sacrificing some speed for strength and endurance. Haven’t seen anyone except maybe.the late Kobe that matches that intensity.
This may be a bit out of your alley but I want to see a video on your thoughts about Patrick Mahomes
The problem with this younger generation is their inability to think objectively & critically, and lacking appreciation and respect. That's why they are unable to judge & make comparison without the need to downgrade something in order to uplift their own opinions/biases. They are quick to disregard and dismiss previous generations without taking the time to view previous generations objectively.
4:19.....Kareem is looking at Zeke like he's gonna swing on him at any second.
Even jordan never said it was Utah
