Jordan is in the top 1% athletically to ever play yet he’s the hardest worker of them all. 82 games he gave this kind of effort. And then turned it up in the playoffs. They’ll never be another #23 🐐
@@x-man9473 he worked harder then a lot of people but no he did not work the hardest. He’ll he didn’t even practice as much as the bulls role players. They had to do more practices then the 3 stars.

He was one of the first to include athletic conditioning, weight lifting and was the first athletic guy that bothered to learn fundamentals. All these things are common place now. MJ could not work harder than most top guys due to overtraining and the increased risk of injury. I take it you’ve never trained in athletics. He did not work harder than boxers, college wrestlers, swimmers in his day. Boxing, mma, wrestling, swimming, gymnastics are the most grueling sports in terms of training.
So because MJ didn’t participate in team practice as much he’s not one of the hardest workers? He did intense training including basketball training, weight training, and athletic training not to mention the studying that he did to learn how to beat teams as well as to develop his game. Iverson was right about practice. If you carry your team to a championship over and over who cares about practice 😂
Jordan is by far my favorite of all time but I can't help but think about how it could have been if two of my other dudes, Vince-anity and T-Mac, would've stayed in Toronto longer together along with guys like Christie, Camby, and Stoudamire. 😳😳😳
God loves you repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Turn to God while there is still time because Jesus is coming soon so repent from your sins and turn to God I love u all God bless
The 90s what a beautiful time. Especially in basketball. Each team had a star and potential star and teams use to play actually defense. So it wasn’t a cake walk to finals. These teams like Toronto use push MJ and the bulls to the max.
Glendon Chin lololol. You don’t know basketball well. The rules changed. 1. No hand check. 2. Three sec defense violation. 3. Non contest zone under the rim. These 3 rules open the lane and allow small guards shoot 3s and penetrate. Lololol. You are just way too simple and naive. In 99 when the rules started to change, ppl already predicted it will be the quick small guards world. Do u know Derek Harper? He was called strongest hands in nba. He hand checked small guards like a puppy dog in the old days. HAND CHECK. Look at today’s game. Only 3s and dunks. Google 200 hottest spots on court in last decade. No single mid range spot. Only rim and 3s. Boooorrrrriiiinnnggg!
@@shawnturner1312 HE DID, the rule changes impacted the game to focus it more on the offensive side of the floor. LOOK how many cellar dwellers are in the NBA and you're talking about positionless basketball? Dude James Harden? What have the Rockets done? Jack squat!!! Basketball is supposed to be played on two ends...oh well. And who the F is more skilled today than Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen?? I'll wait.
@tony tonyt Jordan would do fine in today's game, especially with the amount of spacing there is on the floor. Getting to the hoop would be a breeze, as would be finding spots on the floor for his jumper. He would have to work on his 3 point shot though, but given Jordan's work ethic I wouldn't doubt for a second he would improve. That being said, people often forget the 80's had HUGE scoring averages and that they actually WENT DOWN in the 90's largely due to expansion.
You kids today need to realize that this isn't even a prime MJ. At this point he was on the backside of his prime, but STILL VERY GOOD and was just BETTER than everyone else.
@Shove This L Up Your Ass No, it wasn't. And only someone who didn't see him in the late 80s/early 90s would actually think otherwise. Now that was prime MJ right there.
@Shove This L Up Your Ass No I'm not. The problem is that the frame of reference of fanboys like yourself, only seems to extend back to the 2nd 3-peat (if that). So y'all think that those are his prime years. But anybody who actually saw his career in its entirety, knows that there's a CLEAR DISTINCTION (and big difference) between late 80s/early 90s MJ, vs 2nd 3-peat MJ. He physically was not same player during those 3-peat latter seasons, that he was during the former. Why do you think the fade-a-way became the staple of his game during the 2nd 3-peat? It's because he physically could no longer do what he used to be able to do in his prime. I'm sorry to burst ya bubble, but y'all simply missed the best version of him...

@@amalshakur you mean like just standing around watching player throwing up bricks all day…. Today’s players nowhere near MJ level… it just looks like they’re doing something because nobody’s playing defense
That Raptors team had a lot of potential. McGrady, Billups, Marcus Camby, Doug Christie. It would have been interesting to see if they kept that young core together with Vince Carter the next year. Also, I love that you show the little things MJ does, like the steals, blocks and deflections.
I agree, that core had so much potential, if they stay together through 2001, they would've gotten past AI and the Sixers and probably face the Lakers in the Finals that year.
@@brotherjesse922 I agree and it was a really difficult time for the Canada basketball scene because it was new up there on the pro level at the time. If this was now, they likely would've stayed together.
This is an awesome blast from the past for me. I worked at Skydome selling beer during the 90s. I spent more time watching this game than working lol. The 90s were a good time to work at Skydome, lots of tips :)
@@hiitsme3039 Jordan didn't play in 93-94 season as he retried at the end 92-93 championship season, wrapping up a 3 peat. Jordan's ( father was murdered ) and he retried, to try and fill he's dad wish of him being a professional baseball player. Jordan returned towards the end of the 95 season to lead the struggling bulls ( that was just above 500 record with a 25-23 record ) into the playoffs. The Bulls won 24 of their final 34 games, and finished the season with a 47-35 record, going 13-4 with Jordan back in the lineup. The video above was from the 98 season, Jordan and the bulls we going for there second 3 peat, so I'm not sure what you mean about him taking a year off? unless your talking about his 1 year and 1/2 retirement from the end of the 93 championship season to the tail end of 95 season ( Jordan played in 17 games ).
MJ’s athleticism and extreme precision have made him stand out as the GOAT of basketball. Watching this game is reminiscent of the glorious times when Jordan humiliated every single opponent.
Cause they only show jordan highlights of good plays and never show missed clutch shots crying to refs or jordan traveling like he did alot.people saw jordan play and know his highlights to tell the whole story.
Damn anyone remember t-mac started his career a very capable and very willing defender !! Ya know then the NBA sort of phased out defense all together , but I remember it
So let me get this straight, we have a young: McGrady, Billups, Carter and Camby vs an old Chicago Bulls. Yet they say MJ didn't have tough competition??
Goat...A 1995 MJ would average 50 in today's game!!! A 1987 MJ would average 60!!! Defensive 3 seconds in the rules so players cant pack the lanes so he would score more easy. No hand checking so MJ would shoot over 30 free throws a game. 50 easy!!!
ANB ZCMB16 Jordan fans : say something outrageous Regular fans: laughs at a obvious over exaggerated joke Jordan fans: offended because they weren’t joking at their ludicrous statement and calls them casuals.
@@guitarsforchrist5302 Way more points bro...no hand checking he would shoot 30 free throws. Players cant pack the lanes anymore so he would be in the paint killing. Like I said 50 easy!!!
The young generation don't realize how good MJ was in his prime) he was something seldom seen in traffic and action wit style) he brought a killer intent to destroy second to none amazing grace) human highlights that will last a life time with a smile*
Tracy one said that in the moment of him guarding MJ on the shot at 3:44 he was in awe 😂 he was amazed that he was on the same floor as one of his favorite players, MJ. Two of my favorite players ever! The amount of aura is unmatched in this video
You can't even compare Jordans defence to Lebrons this man went at it every single game of his career. Lebron be looking like a pylon on the court half the time on defence.
@The Duke As both teams complete yeah but not before Jordan alone would still drop plenty of points on them in a loss cause. Not to mention his STILL playoff record of 63 points.
The Celtics really never did anything to get in the way they only met once in the playoffs the rest of the time it was the pistons. But they only stopped them from advancing they never stopped Jordan. Hes always pouring an onslot of points. They werent done with anything. Lebron had to deal with both celtics and pistons and in the end and now only with 3 titles.
That's bs rookie Ai dropped like 35-40 points on the Bulls multiple times and Jordan scored only 23 one of those games... He didn't win every single matchup
It’s scary how comfortable MJ looked in this game. He had 30+ and a game winner and he was so casual about it like it’s just another day at the office. Also the raptors had a very nice team. I know they were at different points in their career but if you put tmac christie billups and camby together in their prime that’s a nice team. And I assume Carter was on the team as well.
Now imagine giving that Raptor team more time to mature! You had speed and drive with McGrady. A soon to be NBA Champion with Chauncy Billups, Slam Dunk Champion in Dee Brown. A quality shooter and defensive guard in Doug Christie, 4x Block Leader and Defensive Player of the year Marcus Camby, along with John Wallace. Wow, what a basketball team. It was just a matter of having the right coach and that team would be one of the top teams to challenge after the Jordan Era!
Ok I just got to point out how this kinda film neglects how some guys say that Mike would play well in today's in nba, as if this here is not a transition time in the NBA between eras. This year was bringing in a whole new group of young hofrs and stars yet again Mike was cooking up. Doug Christie was one of the better defenders coming in this Era and Mike was torching that young man lol
Wow he made that game winner look so effortless. Nobody even celebrated when he hit that, it was like business as usual. Nowadays when a shot like that goes down it's like a team won game 7 of the finals!
MJ being MJ, McGrady was a fantastic player though gotta give him his due, guy was a beast even as a rookie, but you couldnt do anything against the GOAT.
I’m glad both defense and missed shots were displayed in these clips. You have to remember these guys are professionals… taking 100s of shots, maybe 1000s a day. You leave them open they will shoot it in. It takes focus and hard work to make these guys make a mistake or miss.
I love jordan and his game was like a piece of art. But i think there is a beautiful traveling before the last shot. 4 steps without a dribble. Even a raptor's player motionned to the referee but... Jordan is jordan ;)
When MJ played basketball, Everybody always think it was his prime coz He's always on top of the game👊👊👊
He was so versatile, he had two different primes: his athletic prime from 1984-1990 and his skill prime from 1993-1998. As he became less athletic he started to polish his fundamentals and he ended up mastering them

MJ being MJ, McGrady was a fantastic player though gotta give him his due, guy was a beast even as a rookie, but you couldnt do anything against the GOAT.
I’m glad both defense and missed shots were displayed in these clips. You have to remember these guys are professionals… taking 100s of shots, maybe 1000s a day. You leave them open they will shoot it in.
It takes focus and hard work to make these guys make a mistake or miss.
This it what happens when you tug on Supermans cape!
Nothing but net. Jordan is in the house.
As graceful as ever!
The Raptors should have recognized Camby and McGrady could have been dominant together and then add Vince Carter to the mix...goodnight Nancy
Plus they had Doug Christie and Chauncey billups.
I firmly believe Jordan when he says he was at his peak in the 98 season. His techniques were so refined.
I miss these games.
Best era
By far
Mike hadn’t been in his prime for half a decade but he was still the best player in the league. Crazy
All the smoke Podcast made me come 😂🤣
Mike IS A BASKETBALL GOD!!!!!
🐐
Jordan doing what he dose best win
Never, ever, EVER call MJ old. Mans like 60 and can still dunk
Thre legend in crunch time = MJ
Wow Toronto had T-Mac, Camby, Chauncey Billups, Doug Christie was no scrub either. Some nice talent
Damn raptors had some good players I forgot.. camby tmac billups Christie but 90s were so stacked it didn’t matter
Pg. Chauncey billups
Sg. Doug Christie
Sf. Tracy mcgrady
Pf. ??
C. Marcus camby
This actually could’ve been a lil squad had they not been so young
35 years old jordan against young talents
Indeed it was
LeBron doesn't have the finesse game like MJ had.
I forget Kerr played with this man. I mean, how do you keep keeping on
lmao wtf was billups thinking wit that last shot??...8:43 the whole team is just in awe lmao tmac laughing ..butch in awe...the ref even laughing lmao
I forgot about this Raptors team. They had a squad!
i just just realized raptors had avery decent team here.
MJ🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
I love jordan and his game was like a piece of art. But i think there is a beautiful traveling before the last shot. 4 steps without a dribble. Even a raptor's player motionned to the referee but... Jordan is jordan ;)
