As a 7 year old back in 1993 and living in Australia, Michael Jordan was the only active sports person that I heard of outside of Australia. There was no internet back then and I still to this day haven't watched a game of NBA. He was a phenomenon. He is the greatest basketballer of all time because non basketball fans on the other side of the planet knew who he was before the internet.
I fell asleep . Basketball is for dudes over 6'5 maybe one in ten million dudes the size of Messi can play in the NBA. It's a sport just for super tall dudes. Any dude thinking he is going to make it big being 6' is kidding himself. I know there were like 2 dudes 5'7 who played but I doubt when they were 16 or 17 someone walked up to them in the street and said they should play basketball the way they walk up to a 6'8 dude . Super tall dudes jumping high wow what a shock.
@cjb cjb Kobe def better on JRE, half the players say the exact same shit in their podcasts. At least Kobe found some way to articulate original answers.
@cjb cjb I think he's a lot more intelligent than his fellow nba players. It is really annoying to hear because most of them have not much to say, but get a lot of air time.
@@ballinwithkicks8436 Kobe was always well spoken, heck the guy could do the interview in Italian and maybe Spanish ( according to Lionel Messi he spoke to him in Spanish).
Michael Jordan is the greatest athlete to play any sport, hands down. What this dude accomplished in really only 13 seasons is unreal. For him to win 3 straight, retire for 2 yrs, come back and totally dominate and win 3 more straight.... man that is unheard of. We will never see another "Michael Jordan" and that makes me feel bad for all the people that never had the chance to see him play live, and only hear about the legacy
I grew up watching MJ but never saw a behind the scenes of him like this Documentary. The man was just a cold blooded assassin on the court. The way he controls the room while just absolutely OOZING confidence and swag is amazing to see. The ultimate Alpha Male.
D he began his statement by saying “even though Kobe only 18” meaning even though Kobe was too young to be at peak physical condition, he was still “peak peak peak physical condition”
Joe actually perfectly describes what's so great about basketball. Some sports require more raw strength and athleticism (football, rugby) and others require more precision and skill (golf, baseball, soccer), but basketball falls right in the middle where you need to be elite at both to play at a professional level.
Football is the complete sport, skills, precision and strength. Because one thing is to shoot with your hands, and another is to shoot with your feet, while dribbling other people. Football is mainly strength? Bruh go look at Maradona or Ronaldinho career highlights
Last Dance is amazing and I wish we could get more episodes Centers around Phil Jackson. He’s ability to control a team and motivate his players. It’s the reason he has 13 championships and won 3 with shaq and Kobe through all their personal struggles
@Sam707BFBC True, but I think Joe was more critical of non-MMA people passing critical judgement on MMA athletes, ie, Stephen A Smith talking about Cowboy's talent. I don't agree with Joe's stance on that in general btw, and there are much better examples of him over reaching on certain topics he is clearly out of his depth with, ie politics, but here, he is merely discussing Jordan from an athletic perspective and how much work it takes to be a consistent winner. He is not being critical of his talents. Now, if he started talking about the NBA GOAT discussion and passing judgement on Jordan vs LeBron, that would be different and more in line with what he is critical of I think
The part Joe said about needing touch to shoot or lay the ball up. That is 100% true. Lifting weights and building your body up, then still having the finesse to execute a soft shot/layup. That's not an easy thing to do.

Micheal Jordan was so good that before he even ever played an NBA game at Team USA practice the coach, Larry Bird, and Magic Johnson said he was the best player they had EVER seen.
It wasnt players, it was Bob Knight. Those players werent at the practice, NBA didnt play in the olympics until 88. Not trying to be a jerk , just saying, Im huge Jordan fan too.
@@nicholasunderwood1032 actually Magic and Bird did say that. Bird called MJ the black Jesus and Magic said this kids not even in the NBA and his best the player he has ever seen.
You got that right, Joe! That's why MJ dominated. He had flight and strength and speed but developed a jump shot from 20 feet and the best Fade-away in the history of the game. He was the best defensive guard in the history of the game. Even when he was old he grabbed a ton of steals. Any person who opened their mouth to say something just fueled a reason in him to go after them. The media said Pistons were too tough, he gained 15 pounds of muscle. The media said he couldn't shoot the three like Clyde Drexler, he beats the finals record for threes in a half in the first game of the 1992 Finals. Whatever challenge you gave him, he took it to a serious reason. He'd read local papers in towns that had weak NBA teams just to try and find a negative comment about him so he could shut that person up. He wanted to win, so he stopped scoring so much to give the ball to Grant and Pippen and other role players, so those players could do some of the work, but also be more motivated to do their roles as Phil Jackson asked. He averaged 37 points in a season. In todays NBA he would have averaged 45 or maybe more. He was ridiculously good. That is why he is my idol. That is why I took up on playing basketball. That is why I know most f these facts since that time, because I read everything about him. But, the guys are right. I am still enjoying this documentary very much just because of the insane footage that they have. Proof of all that I had read about, or heard interviews. Now, there is so much fresh footage. Especially of the last 1998 season. I am realy enjoying it. Tonight, SUnday, there episodes 7 and 8. Can't wait!
@A Z All major sports are easy thats why they are popular, but they're also the most difficult because of competition people need to stop comparing sports and compare athletes...
@A Z easy is relative...its easy to play compared to so many extreme sports look up extreme sports, theres crazy shit out there...like i said the thing that makes a sport difficult is competition
Hey. We exist dude lol I used to play my fuckin heart out when I was in school but I discovered music drugs and women. And this documentary got me back into B-ball
The thing that’s so impressive about Joe is he can take a topic he doesn’t know a lot about, and relate it to other things and get a grasp on it so quickly
Watched each episode atleast 3 times each already Shed a few man tears along the way too One of my favorite docs of all time and it’s only half way done
They're great, for all the bullshit ESPN puts out they do not disappoint with these documentaries. This and the OJ doc are some of the greatest docs ever. Great in different ways, I think the OJ series is very important though.
Joe, you seriously need to watch this documentary. I love how you analyze everything and this documentary is right up your alley. This documentary is such an eye opener, even for those of us who watched him religiously. I mean they delve into his baseball hiatus and discuss his work ethic just getting into shape for that.
I played Bball all my life through college and for Joe to notice that "In the midst of sheer chaos, you still have to find stillness and make that perfect shot" without even being a Bball fan is an amazing observation. Probably the best way I've heard Bball described ever. And he doesn't even watch Bball or care. Lol. Props Joe.
Jordan was more than a basketball star. He was a human who possessed mental abilities that no one had ever thought possible in a human. To see it was literally unbelievable. This is why if/when another Jordan type athlete comes along, it will be obvious. He will stand above all others and surpass anything we think is logical.
Could you imagine how much more amazing JRE would be if Joe had more sports interests...imagine having a 3-hour podcast with MJ or Rodman...that would be awesome!
I like how Jordan was talking about how people might not like him after the doc but it seems to be quite the opposite has happened and he’s being respected even more
Jerry Salmon not really. I think what ever you thought before the documentary, this just amplified it. The people who loved him already are just being louder about it.
Bills Mafia Member I wasn’t talking about me I’m talking about how all of the talk of whether or not Lebron is the goat has really been silenced based on the younger generation really getting a chance to see Jordan’s greatness first hand
It’s because everyone who cares about winning or being tough appreciates the fact he probably accomplished and kept that mentality movin forward post nba while knowing not everyone will agree with him cause of different reasons but even those people know deep down he has a great mentality they just rather be comfortable with what they have or complain a
MJ is the greatest athlete of all time. He was the biggest athlete in the 90s (and probably one of the top 3 most famous human being in the 90s) and still regarded as the goat today. He didn't have a lot of controversy, was a nice guy (maybe not on the court) Almost everybody knows the name MJ around the world. Not only was he the goat at basketball, he was around at the perfect time to bring the nba and his popularity to the top. Being the GOAT + being in the 80s, 90s = Best athlete ever. I can't imagine what it is to be like Mike. This man was THE man. I can't even imagine being this famous. He handled it pretty well.
The guest clearly didn't pay attention to the series, Kobe wasn't on the prime of his game or physical condition, Kobe wasn't even a started in his team that season...
Might be the greatest athlete. But Wayne Gretzky is by far the most dominant. Look at the numbers if you don't believe me. Even if Gretzky was never to score a goal in hockey he has more assists than any other player in history has points (goals+assists). Considering that basketball scoring is much more revolved around the top 1-3 players on each team and hockey has much more distributed scoring that is insane.
The rest of the season one episodes leaked so I watched them all. I'm not a big basketball fan, but the Jordan and Kerr incident was interesting. The way both of them handled it heightened my respect for them as competitors, athletes, and humans.
For a person who does not like basketball, Joe Rogan gave THEE best description of basketball that I have heard so far.!. Awesome!! "Finding stillness in the middle of chaos."
Running backs you use strength and speed but basically you try to hold on to the ball, quarter back there is accuratesy depends on your target usually through high or low in an area for only the receiver can get, a pitcher is solo on the mound, and soccer which needs most skill you generally use any part of body to score plus the goal is huge. Basketball you need to measure angles on J's and layups
This documentary transcends basketball so much, it's next level. Gonna rewatch it when it's done. I watched it all unfold the first time around so I love it even more, but there's so much in this documentary that nobody saw in the 90s. It's fuckin amazeballs, one of the best docs I've ever seen.
@@joshuaaguilera7997 nah, players don't fill out their frames until early/mid 20s. a lot of these freakishly tall nba players are still dealing with growth spurts in their teens.
Not Kevin Durant physical peak meaning they could play all 82 willingly and with the same energy and intensity obviously jordan put on that extra muscle but he was killing it in 84
@@DayDaysWorld316 He played like 2 years, I'm sure if he dedicated his life to it, he'd be better. Coaches siad he would be in major league soon beacuse of how fast he was inmproving
I remember he retired the first time because some fools murdered his father in cold blood. He played baseball because his father loved baseball and was hoping he became a baseball player.
Or he had to take a couple years off for his gambling on the nba games. They didnt need a pete rose type situation. Then he came back with the 45 jersey to sell a few of those to pay off his debts.
@@robloxkingboss1135 that doesn't make sense. He didn't throw any games, and the documentary even showed he went against management's decision of losing for the lottery picks to win. No. 45 was his oldest brothers number in hs, 23 was half of that rounded up. He wore that baseball and carried that over to the NBA for a bit. If he was suspended for inside trading, journalist and investigators would've sniffed that out. They didn't.
Nah he won three in a row because the lakers, Celtics, pistons couldn’t do that. He proved he best ever. He was planning before his second title that if he won the third he would try to go to the mlb. Also, baseball was bigger than the nba and there is more money.
@@robloxkingboss1135 no doubt!! People think you're implying he threw games... I don't think he did that and I don't think you believe that either... but he was for sure betting on basketball and way in over his head with the mafia and numerous others when it came to gambling debts. That's a fact. And it's comical how ppl really think and believe he wanted to play baseball all along... Huh..??? Never once... never ever was baseball ever brought up in Jordan's career as a goal of his or something he might pursue. NEVER!!!! But ppl will casually throw it out there like it makes sense, where it makes zero sense, but dismiss he was suspended from basketball for gambling like it's some sort of reach. But there's tons of evidence. Plus everyone knows how one track minded and obsessed Jordan was with being the greatest ever and he literally just snatched the crown and title of being the Man.... then he just retires bc it's too easy and he's not motivated... Hahahaha. Yeah fucking right... he was finally where he wanted to be but was forced out. Less than a week after his "retirement" the whole investigation was closed... Like you said, better to be "suspended" I mean retired than get busted red handed and banned for life. You're also right about the 45 jersey's. The thing with baseball is he stays relevant in the news, ESPN and with Nike. With him playing baseball they're selling different jersey's, hats, cleats, batting gloves and so on.... And one more point from the baseball scam... he says he was burnt out and wanted to spend time with family and unmotivated so he leaves the sport he's greatest at to pursue a new sport at a low level.... What? Just proving he still had the motivation and desire and drive to compete... Crazy how ppl will ignore this shit just bc they idolize him... I mean I'm a huge Jordan fan and this doesn't change how I feel on how great he is at basketball.. hahaha.
@@thesmartoneification Considering how the NBA is by far the highest paying league of any sport and has over 50% of the Forbes top 100 highest paid athletes, I think it's more intelligent and wise to care about basketball than any other sport tbh
I love when people who don’t know basketball talk Jordan because they take me back to early childhood when he was still just this amazing athlete/god and not now when I’ve seen every highlight 1000 times
MJ: “They said Joe Rogan is a great podcast host. Ok, fine. Ima show you he’s not.”
😂
Charyeet Leenord MJ: “They gave Rogan the Spotify contract. Ok, fine. He can have that. Imma get this.”
Genuinely made me laugh. 👏🏻
That’s when Jordan did 1546 podcasts in one week
"I took offense to that, so I was gonna bust his ass, and give em 60."

Joe talking about basketball - “I don’t think there’s any other sport where you need...”
-lists attributes required to excel in any sport.
haha Rogan is an echo chamber for his own remarks
@A Z All major sports are easy thats why they are popular, but they're also the most difficult because of competition people need to stop comparing sports and compare athletes...
@A Z hockey isnt that major of a sport pretty middle of the boat
@A Z easy is relative...its easy to play compared to so many extreme sports look up extreme sports, theres crazy shit out there...like i said the thing that makes a sport difficult is competition
itsC0ll0n it’s one of the top 4 sports, only 3 bigger in the US... if that’s middle of the boat to you, then ok
joe: “in all this chaos there’s stillness” rogan.
Dante Rugiero 🤣
I love that Joe doesn't care for basketball, but he respects how hard the game is. Top man.
Joe: “he used to have a celebrity pool tournament in Chicago”
Tony: “wow”
riveting
I came here to post the same thing 😄😄😄
When your auto-wow setting is switched to On
I read this right as joe said it, love when that happens.

Im not a fan of basketball at all, but i got addicted to that documentary. It was super inspiring. Michael Jordan is a freak!
Michael Jordan is synonymous with best basketball player ever lived
“I know you’re not a big basketball fan”- coming from not a big basketball fan
😂
word
How u know hes not a basketball fan
@@petergriffin6223 cuz he described a '98 kobe like he was one of the best players in the league
takes one to spot one
Coaches Everywhere: There's no "I" in TEAM
Michael Jordan: Yeah, but there's an "I" in WIN . . .
Excerpt from The Last Dance Episode 4
@Paddy C great point about the desire to be coached
There is a 'me' in team...
There's no we in team either captain spelling bee
I diedd when he said that lmao. I love MJ
I just finished watching it, I've never been so inspired from watching a documentary, one of the best I've watched
I honestly can’t imagine life and not having an interest in bball
Same I can't comprehend lol
Hey. We exist dude lol I used to play my fuckin heart out when I was in school but I discovered music drugs and women. And this documentary got me back into B-ball
What its boring i would be down if it was still physical
too many fouls in basketball. once the players and refs stop being pussys then il start watching
I grew up watching Jordan and loved it he was amazing and he made everyone wanting to watch every game he played in
The thing that’s so impressive about Joe is he can take a topic he doesn’t know a lot about, and relate it to other things and get a grasp on it so quickly
Yeah, he can take any sport and turn it into either MMA or wild animals.
M J Grasscutter Ok.. it's not that serious
@@deucepickle2091 hahahahha, so true.
I cry all the time watching the docu. And the editing with the throwback tunes! 10/10
The best way I can describe MJ in a sentence is this: Michael Jordan is the basketball version of Goku.
LOL
Lul not bad i guess
Chase Jordan it’s like you try to be clever but you just end up looking fucking dumb
Chase Jordan I meant the comment below you I misclicked yo name lmfao
No way, Michael Jordan is Vegeta if Vegeta won all the time. Goku is wayy too nice of a dude to be MJ.
WTF has this update done to the comments?
Unnecessary engineering RUclips
Censorship. Don't read upvoted options ... Just keep watching baby ... Keep watching.
Oddun B shame on you RUclips
Hearing that shit alot...glad I hate change...didn't think twice bout updating....
Glad it's not just mine.
first world problems
“Apparently” Bird was ridiculously clutch because of his prep. Dude was the prototype
Tony Smith he decided to play an entire game shooting left handed so he could save his right for the lakers: he ended up putting up over 40 points.
Josh Langston last game of a west coast trip vs Portland
Bird was the goat, before Jordan. He's the second best of all-time after MJ!
@@gsadventures678 helllll nooooooo
Gary Bruyere lebron
So well said. I've never paused and rewind a film or Doc like that. A masterpiece!
Joe, as a fan of both MMA and basketball, I would like to request that you invite Dennis Rodman to do your podcast.
Word is he didn’t do too well at the poker table with the legendary Tom Sosnoff.
Watched each episode atleast 3 times each already
Shed a few man tears along the way too
One of my favorite docs of all time and it’s only half way done
They're great, for all the bullshit ESPN puts out they do not disappoint with these documentaries. This and the OJ doc are some of the greatest docs ever. Great in different ways, I think the OJ series is very important though.
Nah it's not that deep
Shed tears? Wtf? Nothing sad to see so far. You're absolutely pathetic for this.
Jordan scored 51 points at 40 years old with the Wizards.
Joe, you seriously need to watch this documentary. I love how you analyze everything and this documentary is right up your alley. This documentary is such an eye opener, even for those of us who watched him religiously. I mean they delve into his baseball hiatus and discuss his work ethic just getting into shape for that.
Never thought Joe would offer up that eloquent quote about basketball finding stillness in chaos lol props though!
Joe “leaped from center court” Rogan.
He probably saw the pic from Space Jam.
I played Bball all my life through college and for Joe to notice that "In the midst of sheer chaos, you still have to find stillness and make that perfect shot" without even being a Bball fan is an amazing observation. Probably the best way I've heard Bball described ever. And he doesn't even watch Bball or care. Lol. Props Joe.
This This documentary got me into basketball it’s crazy how good it is it’s so good
The passion these players had playing the game is insane
7:41 joe’s shot broke af😂
i came to the comments to see if anyone noticed that! hahahaha wtf
Still better than most jumpers on 2k lol
watching joe talk about basketball, is like watching me try and talk about MMA
Tyler Brantley you got a blackbelt in basketball bro?
Jordan was more than a basketball star. He was a human who possessed mental abilities that no one had ever thought possible in a human. To see it was literally unbelievable. This is why if/when another Jordan type athlete comes along, it will be obvious. He will stand above all others and surpass anything we think is logical.
Could you imagine how much more amazing JRE would be if Joe had more sports interests...imagine having a 3-hour podcast with MJ or Rodman...that would be awesome!
I loved the way Jordan Peterson described MJ. He had a mystic-like ability to be COMPLETELY present and give 100% in the moment
I like how Jordan was talking about how people might not like him after the doc but it seems to be quite the opposite has happened and he’s being respected even more
Jerry Salmon not really. I think what ever you thought before the documentary, this just amplified it. The people who loved him already are just being louder about it.
Bills Mafia Member I wasn’t talking about me I’m talking about how all of the talk of whether or not Lebron is the goat has really been silenced based on the younger generation really getting a chance to see Jordan’s greatness first hand
It’s because everyone who cares about winning or being tough appreciates the fact he probably accomplished and kept that mentality movin forward post nba while knowing not everyone will agree with him cause of different reasons but even those people know deep down he has a great mentality they just rather be comfortable with what they have or complain a
Joe: No I haven’t seen the last dance yet
MJ: you just gonna not watch my doc? I see how it is, that’s all I need!
MJ is the greatest athlete of all time. He was the biggest athlete in the 90s (and probably one of the top 3 most famous human being in the 90s) and still regarded as the goat today. He didn't have a lot of controversy, was a nice guy (maybe not on the court) Almost everybody knows the name MJ around the world. Not only was he the goat at basketball, he was around at the perfect time to bring the nba and his popularity to the top. Being the GOAT + being in the 80s, 90s = Best athlete ever.
I can't imagine what it is to be like Mike. This man was THE man. I can't even imagine being this famous. He handled it pretty well.
MJ was over rated as fuck, but he was still the goat. But people act like he was a unicorn, his team needs more say lmao
The guest clearly didn't pay attention to the series, Kobe wasn't on the prime of his game or physical condition, Kobe wasn't even a started in his team that season...
Wasn't even a starter and made the all-star game? That's awesome.
who the fucks care about Kobe, its a documentary of Michael Jordan. Wake up
He meant to say Kobe was young and Jordan was on his last legs and he still owned.
@@danielpagan2848 That i agree on totally. my bad. Kobe is kobey, but MJ is MJ
Kobe was a pervert !
Joe Rogan doing his best Dennis Rodman impression at 7:10 lol 🤣🤣🤣
cool to see Joe talking basketball, his take on how the uniqueness of the sport was great!!
*Michael Jordan Is The Undisputed Greatest Athlete In The History Of The World. It Isn't Only Athleticism; His Mentality Was Unmatched... Legendary*
Might be the greatest athlete. But Wayne Gretzky is by far the most dominant. Look at the numbers if you don't believe me. Even if Gretzky was never to score a goal in hockey he has more assists than any other player in history has points (goals+assists). Considering that basketball scoring is much more revolved around the top 1-3 players on each team and hockey has much more distributed scoring that is insane.
@@porkwop1546 You're actually arguing whether Jordan is the greatest athlete? LOL
@@TrudeausBlackFace glad to know you know the difference between "greatest" and "dominant"
I felt the same way when they mentioned Phil’s past it all made sense he’s a great person and coach/mentor
Well Phil Jackson had that zen like wisdom to handle all those players because he was smoking that "magical sage" 🤣
Hard to watch - only Jamie sounds like he knows basketball.
haha
LMAO!!!
So true
Exactly
1 year later here I am STILL obsessing over this documentary and MJ stories
Been wanting to hear what happen when MJ and Kerr got into it in practice. Thankful that’s the next episode. 🙏🏼
The rest of the season one episodes leaked so I watched them all. I'm not a big basketball fan, but the Jordan and Kerr incident was interesting. The way both of them handled it heightened my respect for them as competitors, athletes, and humans.
4:33 pretty sure Joe was high and just saw a picture from Space Jam
Lol
For a person who does not like basketball, Joe Rogan gave THEE best description of basketball that I have heard so far.!. Awesome!! "Finding stillness in the middle of chaos."
Kinda like a wide receiver or a QB or a running back with huge dudes running at them full speed to take their heads off?
LOL doesnt every physical sports require that?
Running backs you use strength and speed but basically you try to hold on to the ball, quarter back there is accuratesy depends on your target usually through high or low in an area for only the receiver can get, a pitcher is solo on the mound, and soccer which needs most skill you generally use any part of body to score plus the goal is huge. Basketball you need to measure angles on J's and layups
This documentary transcends basketball so much, it's next level. Gonna rewatch it when it's done. I watched it all unfold the first time around so I love it even more, but there's so much in this documentary that nobody saw in the 90s. It's fuckin amazeballs, one of the best docs I've ever seen.
Kobe was definitely not at his peak condition at 18 lol
SO digginit no but thats when male athletes hit top physical condition that’s why they come in so young
@@joshuaaguilera7997 nah, players don't fill out their frames until early/mid 20s. a lot of these freakishly tall nba players are still dealing with growth spurts in their teens.
@@joshuaaguilera7997 are you sure about that? I cant remember one all-time great who was at their physical peak at 18 lol
Not Kevin Durant physical peak meaning they could play all 82 willingly and with the same energy and intensity obviously jordan put on that extra muscle but he was killing it in 84
Santiago Martinez adding muscle like giannis isn’t physical peak i’m talking energy and intensity of a human
That dude exaggerated the Kobe episode so much lmao added shit like a mf hahaha
"Even tho Kobe's 18 yrs old and in peak peak peak physical condition..." man I had to pause and laugh at that part. Wtaf is he talking about??
Ye who the fuck os at thier peak at 18 lmao. Plus they got everythong wrong on why MJ retired after hos 3rd championship
noni if anything he became who he was because of MJ
They completely forgot the death of MJ dad
One thing is clear: Tony watched the doc but not live
CusWeAre obviously look how young he is
This is the perfect insight from someone who doesn't play basketball but understands the sports. 7:07
I truly believe Micheal would’ve be an all time great in any sport because of how competitive he was
didnt work in the mlb.
Would have been one hell of a wide receiver that’s for sure
@@DayDaysWorld316 He played like 2 years, I'm sure if he dedicated his life to it, he'd be better. Coaches siad he would be in major league soon beacuse of how fast he was inmproving
Listening to Joe describe basketball is funny lol. equivalent to me trying to break down fighting
Love how this doc has everyone talking. Remember the titans type feeling
Joe Rogan is the only uncle I’ll ever need.
I remember he retired the first time because some fools murdered his father in cold blood. He played baseball because his father loved baseball and was hoping he became a baseball player.
Or he had to take a couple years off for his gambling on the nba games. They didnt need a pete rose type situation. Then he came back with the 45 jersey to sell a few of those to pay off his debts.
@@robloxkingboss1135 that doesn't make sense. He didn't throw any games, and the documentary even showed he went against management's decision of losing for the lottery picks to win. No. 45 was his oldest brothers number in hs, 23 was half of that rounded up. He wore that baseball and carried that over to the NBA for a bit. If he was suspended for inside trading, journalist and investigators would've sniffed that out. They didn't.
Nah he won three in a row because the lakers, Celtics, pistons couldn’t do that. He proved he best ever. He was planning before his second title that if he won the third he would try to go to the mlb. Also, baseball was bigger than the nba and there is more money.
@@robloxkingboss1135 no doubt!! People think you're implying he threw games... I don't think he did that and I don't think you believe that either... but he was for sure betting on basketball and way in over his head with the mafia and numerous others when it came to gambling debts. That's a fact. And it's comical how ppl really think and believe he wanted to play baseball all along... Huh..??? Never once... never ever was baseball ever brought up in Jordan's career as a goal of his or something he might pursue. NEVER!!!! But ppl will casually throw it out there like it makes sense, where it makes zero sense, but dismiss he was suspended from basketball for gambling like it's some sort of reach. But there's tons of evidence. Plus everyone knows how one track minded and obsessed Jordan was with being the greatest ever and he literally just snatched the crown and title of being the Man.... then he just retires bc it's too easy and he's not motivated... Hahahaha. Yeah fucking right... he was finally where he wanted to be but was forced out. Less than a week after his "retirement" the whole investigation was closed... Like you said, better to be "suspended" I mean retired than get busted red handed and banned for life. You're also right about the 45 jersey's. The thing with baseball is he stays relevant in the news, ESPN and with Nike. With him playing baseball they're selling different jersey's, hats, cleats, batting gloves and so on.... And one more point from the baseball scam... he says he was burnt out and wanted to spend time with family and unmotivated so he leaves the sport he's greatest at to pursue a new sport at a low level.... What? Just proving he still had the motivation and desire and drive to compete... Crazy how ppl will ignore this shit just bc they idolize him... I mean I'm a huge Jordan fan and this doesn't change how I feel on how great he is at basketball.. hahaha.
Roblox King boss Lmao
Yeah, because the NBA needed a 45 jersey to make money off Jordan products. WTF are you smoking? Haha
Neither one of these guys knows a thing about basketball
Literally fucking zero
Imagine caring about basketball lmao are you 12?
@@thesmartoneification Considering how the NBA is by far the highest paying league of any sport and has over 50% of the Forbes top 100 highest paid athletes, I think it's more intelligent and wise to care about basketball than any other sport tbh

Why am I imagining Joe with a Patrick Ewing flat top haircut?
“He’s a super winner”
Thank God for Joe Rogan. Without him i wouldnt know that baseball and basketball are different.
I love when people who don’t know basketball talk Jordan because they take me back to early childhood when he was still just this amazing athlete/god and not now when I’ve seen every highlight 1000 times
It would be really amazing to measure yourself against that level of greatness. People like him make you actually better.
