Watching this over 20 years later, listening to this man articulate and Express himself perfectly and properly just proves how far the black professional athlete has regressed in 2021
Part of his greatness that I have always admired him for is that with Him it is always basketball and nothing else. His game transcended the sport, impacting every culture around world.
@@essentialjordan23 I grew up a pistons fan and my buddy loved Jordan and I liked watching him and then everyone loved him and they finally beat the pistons and then I rooted against him and then the 2 jazz finals I respected him and rooted for him and was glad I was 10 years old when he beat the Lakers and I got to watch his career as it happened. Dude is 2nd to none and I love LeBron but everyone needs to stop with that shit lol Jordan is the king of kings and LeBron is great but you felt the inevitability that the bulls were gonna win and you feel that as far as LeBron getting to the finals every year but you doubt LeBron's chances in the finals from time to time and that never happened. You knew Mike would be hugging the trophy and you would just watch it happen. You couldnt take your eyes off of it. Michael Jordan the goat of goats
16:49 lord I've given up. This is what you call being a student of the game and respecting the game NOT egomaniacal Lebron who thinks he's the GOAT despite being a below average FT shooter, poor mid-range shooter, needing a superteam to get anything done, having a limited post game and having ZERO CLUTCH GENE! 16:49 just underscores the different between classy MJ and egomaniac Lebron.
That's a great point you made about the new Era just clout chasing and playing for a paycheck. I was a kid when mj was dominating and I remember coming to that teen age and just being so competitive in everything. I still watch basketball but I haven't felt that excitement of the game in a while. The last time was probably kobe Shaq vs the spurs or the heat
I agree with Michael Jordan, losing in the Finals doesn't diminish his career or enhances it just because he never lost in the NBA Finals. The media came up with that ridiculous argument to use against Lebron James. It's never better to lose before the Finals! It's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. A player who has more championships doesn't automatically make him greater or better than another with less. People will invent criteria to fit their agenda right or wrong. The one thing that's undeniable is no one had a bigger impact on the game of basketball historically than Michael Jordan.
Hey Essential Jordan,,, What does MJ think about today's rest management? You know a team is playing back to back games, They will rest Yanis Alphabet, , or Lebron, just for the sake of resting or, trying to reduce injury, or giving nagging injuries rest time. That never use to happen. MJ played hurt, all the time & still thrived all 82 games + playoffs, most seasons, and + Olympics 92, > Didn't miss a game that I can recal. Just wanted to get your thoughts. (short summer) Remember the 69 pt overtime game against Cleveland? That was the first of back to back nights. They played NY Knicks the very next day, and I remember that game went into overtime too, I think MJ had 54 or something. And the Bulls won that game too barely. Amazing! Some people go to games all the time, but if you are one of those who most likely, this is your 1 chance to see your favorite player, and they happen to be on "Rest management" the day of your 1 game that you waited all year for ? Or for that matter, the one and only chance in your life to see that player, * Lebron, Steph Curry, Yanis Alphabet, or whomever , How is that fair to the fans? Sure it's hard for the players to play in every game, but it's not like they aren't compensated. That's what I loved about Michael and Koby, they felt like they owed it to the fans to show up and perform every freaking day. Because there's always someone in the stands who this is their one chance to see you and they want you to do your thing.
6:45: the object of competing is to win. Tall that to Lefraud. Also some of these questions are tough by the way. e.g. 8:56. You'll never these difficult questions asked of Lebron today. 13:43 is prophetic; easily we see that inauthenticity and lack of credibility in today's NBA with certain stars that are over-hyped. Stephen A Smith talking about Lebron can still sell ticket regardless of poor play. Anyway whatever, we all know the NBA is now a business not a sport.
Imagine MJ were failing; if he was 2 and 10 to start the season - would the media and fans be singing his praises? MJ couldn't even go 500. without questions of just what is going on with MJ. But now we got Lebron losing like every game and the agenda media and Lebron DLs are still running around blaming everyone else but Lebron. Pathetic.
The Bulls were in a rush to break up one of the greatest sports dynasties of all time, pushed out the greatest player of all time, yet 25 years later they don’t have a single finals appearance and have been mired in mediocrity for a decade. Serves them right, karma is a bitch.
Jordan WAS there in 95 STUART bulls would have lost to the Rockets in 95. I remember the bulls being the favorite as the 95 playoffs started but lost to the Magic
The delusional MJ fan somehow cannot count to 11??? So if a player is 3-0 in the final… base on that logic they are in the conversation?? MJ knows he’s not the greatest because he himself says it’s about winning and he said to Bill Russell that he was coming for Bills titles… but MJ never came close. But MJ fans falsely think 6 championships can be greater than 11 championships. 8 championships in row beats MJ by its self. Quitting the game taking brakes and vacation is weakness… continuing on and on and winning more championships then any one else shuts that MJ crap up… Even Kareem shuts MJ conversation down for the same reason… quitting a taking break from basketball is weakness… Kareem was the All Time scorer with 6 championships that’s better than MJ… because a regular season scoreing title during losing season cannot compare to beating the whole league in ALL TIME scoring. MJ never came close to that… never even got to 30k without stat padding with the wizards in terrible seasons… MJs delusional fans highlight others bad but ignore MJs bad… MJ hot fired 🔥from a franchise??? Lebron just like Bill Russell got to 10 finals with 8 in a row… but the money sports entertainment league didn’t want LeBron to pass two main nba figures all in one career. 6-0 is not the ALL TIME top category… MJ is not at the All Time of winning 11 championships or 40k scoring… or rebounds or assists or 3 pointers or steals or blocks… so MJ is a myth created by media marketing to make profit but definitely NOT the Goat.✨✨✨🏀
so much bla, but not much sense. carvajal and modric have most champions league titles. are they the greatest footballers of all time? hell no. just get out of here with your kindergarten "logic" 😁

his poise .. his professionalism, the way he answers every question perfectly.. there’s politicians who don’t articulate this well
Agreed 🏀👌🏽
You can tell he was very intelligent and careful with how the public views him
agree
His IQ is underestimated.
@@oscarronaldmendoza9365 highly underestimated, dude always felt in control during interviews etc
My God he’s freaking smart, answering questions better than most politicians.
echo. imitator, faker and self-humilator!

Most important comment in this entire feed.
His parents played a very important role in his life. You can hear them in him. What a player but more importantly what a man. Thanks MJ
Just the greatest ever!!!
💯💥
@@manila_thrilla it will be a killa and a chilla...
MJ's articulate and intelligent voice makes Lebron sound like a 3rd grader who only passed the 2nd grade because of his athletic ability.
😂
I am dead, lmao!!! People do not want to admit it but this is very true.
That's how the true GOAT answers questions about being the GOAT. If you are the only person who calls yourself the GOAT, you aren't.
Facts
How about Ali?
@@olurominiyiibitayo5473 Fighting/boxing is WAY different than basketball.
Smart, very professional both in basketball and his life. The One And Only Great! 🐐
He's always been known to be extremely intelligent
He has a near genius IQ
Part of his greatness that I have always admired him for is that with Him it is always basketball and nothing else. His game transcended the sport, impacting every culture around world.
I saw this whole interview in 98
I remember seeing this interview as a kid. The only thing missing from the last dance was Stuart scott’s takes on MJ 🙏🏽
I remember seeing this interview! Glad this interview was posted!!!
I was a die hard Larry Bird fan so I hated this guy but I can say without question he is the best ever...Great interview.
RIP stew scott 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Miss this part of the game as well. When a commentator/analyst would speak to the player prior. Then give some inside scoop during the game
This is too much, is unreal! Jordan is not only the Goat by a mile, but he is as Smart as the smartest, is too perfect this Guy!
Great Blissful solitude of legend competitive mind" Jordan
M j the Boomest ever all time all sports. !
Man memories
Mj GOAT! RIP Stuart Scott.
I miss old school ball from '98. Two North Cacalaki legends. RIP Booyah!
MJ GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!!🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀
Loving this interview
He’s not an attention junky like some players we knowZ the truth is he’s done a lot behind the scenes
$$!
RIP Stuart Scott
Dude is just amazing all around and I hated him as a kid lol but always respected him

Still yet to hear anything as eloquent and insightful from LeBrick.

Mike was just not the GOAT of basketball..but was also a smart man.

Very interesting
Facts !
Lebron unperformed in multiple finals so it is a big deal
They said The Last Dance in 1998
Their HEADS are stretched vertically. The old school TVs stretched the heads into s SQUARE frame. The video needs to be FIXED.
GOAT!!! First btw :)
I Like Mike! 👍
Can you plz do a Jordan's best plays in Detroit vid? That would be awesome!
That vid was on the channel before I had to delete everything, I’ll eventually get it back up.
2:11
The thing is that MJ doesn't care about any of that! He never claimed to be the goat. This is completely a fan arguement.
And Kobe is the closet to mj
Jordan Jerry West, Wilt, Elgin, and Dr. J you really think you are not better than them? I’ve seen them play on RUclips you are better the goat!
What Stuart say at the end?
Duncan was 5-1 not 5-2

Man those replies had so much content to be looking at what he was wearing.
Snap a jumpman logo and it would sell like hotcakes, sell that hat in an auction and it would sell millions:)
