@@7odizzle78 You can't equate an era that ignores defense with an era that takes pride in it. Lebron is a direct beneficiary of this fact and also the major advanced in PEDs, it has preserved his body. Look at how pressured Jordan is, virtually non-existent in today's NBA.
So pretty to watch. I think, just by watching his '03 clips, that he was so healthy and fit by the end of the season. He looks quick and sharp in his short dribles, chaning his pace and playing one on one situations. Classic upload. Thanks!
In a way it's sad because he really was hurt most of his Wizards comeback, but we didn't realize it. He looked the more athletic in his 40 yat old games than he did at 38 and 39.
Yah infected knees while still feeling the after effects of broken ribs and that cut tendon on his shooting finger. His body was already broken down from his Chicago days.
Man paul pierce and antwan waller were one of the deadliest scoring duos of that time...both guys getting around 20ppg and could nail 3s and get rebounds!! Dann! Btw Old Man MJ was so much fun to watch!
40 yrs old with 47 minutes. And he isn't look Tired. And this 2020 NBA finals. Jimmy Butler 47 minutes. And he look so Tired. But props for both of them. True warrior.
Damn, MJ game saving block is just so sick. The level of confidence to smack that shit with full force, knowing that its so easy to commit a foul there. Yet his baskeball instincts prevailed and he blocked it, with no regards. Sorry PP.
Maxx White and Paul Pierce out played lebron in game 7 if you watched the 4th quarter, cavs defence got stops that's what most people forget Pierce in the clutch of game 7 and lebron kept up but not good enough and then the semi final exit vs magic and I know ball , lebron couldn't win so he formed a super team not as impressive and it seems
Well to give Paul Pierce some credit in this game he did have 36 pts. It's just amazing that Jordan threw up 25 pts and 13 rebounds at age 40. Eitherway great game!
Great times, didn't really care if the wizards were bad, people just want to see MJ again. You can clearly see the influence MJ had to the new era wings at that time, the footwork, post moves, fadeaway, Paul pierce, tmac, vince carter, it was kobe who really mastered everything he saw from Mike. MJ at 40 still wants to compete against those dudes.
@@m42037 yeah they also happen to have still played on some of the great championship teams oh all time, Jordan at 40 virtually had the same level of talent on the Wizard's as he did on the Bulls for the first 3-4 years. I'll grant you a young Rip Hamilton.
Only by casuals. He had the best footwork of anyone in basketball history. Never wasted any steps or movement. That's why he was so impossible to stop.

No one says that. It was after 2006 when malice the palace happened which is the root cause of all the chaanges the nba made which favorited offense and restricted defense, making it lot weaker asw.

01-02 pre injury Jordan average 25 pts per game, and the weak Wizards was in 4th or 5th place. 02-03 Jordan was classic, smart and beautiful to watch, but he was a 40 year old one legged player
Kawhi Leonard is similar to THIS version of Mike. Same athleticism, mid range game. Kawhi not as intelligent on the court, not as creative even with Mike being 40. 28yo Mike completely mutilates Kawhi or any of these modern hoopers.
An old Jordan dominating a player from Bron’s era? I thought Jordan played against weaker competition? Paul Pierce owned LeBron until LeBron stacked his team, Jordan owned Pierce at 40😂

If you took away MJ’s athleticism he would still be a great player. In this era
Him and Larry Bird IMO have the Highest basketball IQ's of All-Time.
sparkymike83 - Bird said that about MJ. If he didn't have the leaping ability, he'd still be an incredible player, Bird said.

It's called conditioning.

mj can score 25 plus lot of rebounds black jesus.mj vs rookie stats vs lbj now his 38pnts vs nuggets...true god of nba

Yr naj Aniram almost literally got every move from MJ (except that one exceptional behind the back alley oop from 2000-01*)
Kobe probably had a sharingan.😂
He was still the best, but he didn’t had a good team (y’all use that excuse with your mangy goat). He was still capable of winning.
He got injured... Before the knee injury he lead the wizs to 4th spot in the eastern conf.

Mj already have ah knee injury this time
If the Wizards had drafted Pau Gasol instead of Kwame. And if Barkley had come back... and if they kept Rip... oh, well...
If the truth took the last shot even with a hand in his face it would have won them the game. FACTS
