Anybody who actually watched Jordan play, cannot honestly say that Lebron is close to him as a basketball player. He is the unquestioned GOAT!! It is such a shame we only got 13 full years of him as a player.
This is not true at all. I have seen both play for their entire careers. Do you really think MJ could stop LeBron coming through the lane? The size difference alone makes it a much closer comparison than the MJ slurpers would have you believe. MJ was more fun to watch but LeBron is a complete beast as well.
yes. jordan is a better defender. lebron was "stopped" by worse players in finals when it mattered. but you can't really stop high caliber players you can held them down a bit but thats al, still jordan is on a diff level @@rickwelch8464
@@rickwelch8464 Ok, lets flip your question; do you think Lebron can stop MJ from doing whatever he wanted on the court? the answer is no. No one is saying Lebron is not a good player, top 5 for sure. However, if you have been watching basketball as long as you claim, it is plain to see that lebron was aided by the softening of the game, facilitating those easy drives to the basket with no punishment for doing it, and the unquestioned fact that the east conference was unequivocally weak throughout his time there. Whenever someone acknowledges that someone is the best at there craft, (Eminem, MJ, Tom brady, Gretzky, etc). None of whom is my personal favorite, then detractors have to come with Stan or Slurper as you used, which is lame AF.
@@fsociety7494 When one wants to support a claim but has no evidence they use words like "Plain to see" and "unquestioned" which is clearly lame AF and the mark of a slurper. Look, they are 1A and 1B and it's simply preference as to which is which but to say MJ is clear cut goat is definitely in question. MJ never had to DRAG an entire roster of scrubs to the finals, and he had a hof coach his whole career and was surrounded by talent. And to answer your question, yes, LeBron could likely hold MJ down to a reasonable number on any given night with his size and dominant ability in the lane. MJ better hit jumpers all night or get fast break points if he wants a big night. Top 5? You really need to stop hating for the sake of hate. Lemme guess, Kobe? bahahahahha
@@rickwelch8464 Yeah, Top 5. Kareem, Magic, wilt, others have arguments, can be shuffled for many however they like. My favorite player growing up was Allen Iverson (who would be in no one's debate), I just loved the toughness and how dominate he was for his size. Doesn't change the fact of what I was watching, and again here we go with the new age troupe, if you don't agree with someones stance on a issue, your labeled a "hater". Easiest tool to pull out, in all walks of society. For some evidence I recommend a video ruclips.net/video/tl3mR6eoEa8/видео.htmlsi=iQtSlcvJZqjraSA0.
I tear up when I watch this everytime. We knew we were witnessing greatness. I’m one of the biggest Jordan fans. Met him once. Saw him play twice. He was a gift to us. 🐐
We didn't realize how much of an absolute GIFT he was!!! I only got to see him in his double knickle game at MSG. Came in waiving the NY Knicks Terrible Towel, came out happy my team lost😅
I lived in Chicago when MJ was drafted by the bulls. His skill level was unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. He had no weaknesses to his game. I feel so fortunate to have witnessed such greatness. Great reaction from both of you keep killing it with your reactions
Man, I live across the Atlantic and basketball isn't even my favorite sport to watch, but I remember loosing nights of sleep to watch the Bulls games with MJ in them. This was so insane to watch live.
I am a Blazers fan, and I absolutely loved watching Michael Jordan play anytime I could watch him play. It was a treat he was going to do something off-the-wall!!!
One thing people don’t talk enough about MJ was his passing ability. He was such an underrated passer because they always require him to score. I still remember when they asked him to played point guard for a short period of time. He was a walking triple double. Definitely the goat. There is a reason why people say “You are the Michael Jordan of so and so”.
MJ played in a much more physical league where the opponents were actually trying to defend in a physical way. The longevity of Lebron is the only way he tops MJ's stats, and in a league with no hustle and fouls are called for looking at someone too hard.
MJ was/is the only player I’ve ever watched play in the NBA who looked and played like a real-life super hero…when I watch LeBron and others, they look like super hero’s, but they don’t play like it.✌️
I see..mix tape..as a Jordan follower.wow..i about to cry.. Jordan is humble..just wow..let's enjoy this man what he elevated to the league..THANK YOU MICHAEL AIR JORDAN ❤😎👍👌🇺🇲
The NBA has certainly become faster, but that's the case in every sport, but the defense has also become worse and today you can see that there is simply no player left who has this poetic emotion like Michael Jordan.
I grew up in the MJ Era and saw him play at UNC and Chicago. From the ACC to the Bulls, I could tell he was a part of history in the making! If you want more background on Jordan, watch The last dance. It's an incredible story!
And by the way there is a whole other highlight compilation that people haven’t even seen. One of the things that made MJ the 🐐 is that every single game he gave you a wow moment
Back then they devised a plan to defeat the Bulls. They said to stop Michael Jordan and the rest of the team will crumble. Problem is they could never stop Jordan. There's really no defense for the way he played. Legend.
I like you guys. Your reactions are authentic unlike most RUclips reactions where RUclipsrs fake overreact to vids because they think that is what the viewers want to see. U got a new subscriber 👍🏿
It sounds so ridiculous, but every time I see this mixtape or people react to it, I have to start crying because then I see again what a great time we always had in general but especially in the NBA back then . 80s and 90s best time
@05:55 she said "WHAT!" lol... that was a pretty crazy shot, got fouled, behind and over the glass n still made it. I bet the opposing team thought the same thing, WHAT
Superhero is a good way to put it. Growing up as a Bulls fan in the Chicago area, Jordan was like a superhero who always managed to win in the end in dramatic fashion.
Very nice reaction! The Best Rare Video (Voyager) is also incredible. Also Jordan's Underrated Wizards Years will put his time as a Wizard into perspective. On the flip side Lebron is also first in Turnovers for his position and in first all-time in the NBA. He is also first in missed free throws for his position and top five all-time in the. NBA. So, as great as Lebron is he has some serious deficits. Jordan does not lead the league or is top five all-time in any negative categories.
The real difference between Michael and Lebron is their competitiveness. Lebron was more laid back but Michael would carve out the eyes of his own grandmother in order to win. To all of you Lebron fans, that is what really makes them different and in your hearts you know I'm right.
You got the one you were aiming for.. great video! Also Voyager makes a decent one.. check out the breakdown of the greatest season of all time as well as 23 facts that will never be broken 💔 by MJ.. that should lead you into many views.. I have a playlist of over 125 MJ videos alone and many on other guys . Larry legend Bird will be a popular one.. lebronze, leflop etc. That dudes pretty funny.. last I would suggest MJs 88' goat 🐐 szn series.. 90,91' also a good hour .. MJ vs LeBron the ultimate goat comparison video is another one.. some UNC Tarheels MJ & VC....///Worthy stackhouse Rasheed Wallace and many more..
This is all pure highlights...loved it...2:29 bully time on wifey lol😅😂... with Jordan...he attacked the lane doesn't care who's there...ya'll gotta watch his first video "Come fly with me "
A+ Offense/I.Q/Defense( Best shot-blocking 2-guard all-time)/Athleticism (The guy could palm a pumpkin) And competetive drive..Highest % of game-winning shots in NBA history, took 18 months off and comes back for another three-peat..never be another like him...From opening tip to closing buzzer, he lived to destroy...what you saw was just another day at the office for him.
Jordan had this cool aspect to him, where he absolutely hated it when someone talked shit about him, and absolutely loved an "impossible" challenge. So, if he heard someone talk shit about him before a game ("he isn't going to dunk on me," "let's see him try to get past me," etc.), Jordan would go out and just absolutely destroy that particular player on the court. Dunking right in their face, etc. Then, when games got really close and the Bulls were down by a point or two, Jordan would go out and make some crazy, final seconds play that won them the game.
Jordan did have some years, that he didn't win. He was still the best player in the league. But, when he did get to the finals (more than twice), he is 6-0. Two 3-peats!! Greatest ever...it will always be up for debate. MJ said he wasn't the greatest because he never got a chance to play against the GREATS before him. The same guys that he took pieces of their game and added to his. The rules didn't change for MJ, he just got in the weight room and got stronger. I was able to see MJ LIVE quite a few times, and it was worth more than the price of admission. LOL.
I got to meet him and watch his every game living just outside Chicago for his whole career. I got to attend a bunch of his games live as well. Nobody--nobody in any sport except for maybe Ali (who was before my time) is or was as transcendent as MJ. Wherever he went, crowds formed like he was the Beatles when they came to the US and people went nuts. On the court nobody worked harder, played with as much passion and came through in the clutch like MJ.
The Celtics got 11 championships in a time that there were only 8-10 teams in the league, there was no competition. MJ still has 10 scoring titles the most in the NBA, 6 MVPs with 6 championships, defensive player of the year I mean no player is close to his accolades and let's not even talk legacy, he turned Nike into an empire, made the NBA profitable and push basketball all around the globe. Every kid wanted to be like mike. You guys should react to Scap Attack "The Last Choke" or "The Last Super Team" that could put things into perspective when it comes to why Lebron is even in the GOAT conversation.
I never followed NBA with interest, but I remember someone from Detroit Pistons ( the bad boys, as they were known) chatting with MJ and basically telling him he wouldn't do much in the match. Not only the Bulls won the game, MJ was the MVP and in defiance, signalled back to the player and saying "you can't see or catch me". That was a hell of a statement right there. Also, he's known by Jordan Air for a reason. He simply was the player with the highest time spent in the air, he could jump higher and further than anyone else. And when the Bulls got Scottie Pippen, MJ said to the team boss to take part of his wages to pay for Scottie's wages. What a MAN and player. Still my MVP.
That feeling your Sweet Home got during the Bulls reign was electric! I got into two Championship Games and a small handful of regular Jordan Games. Nothing quite like YOUR team dominating so. Most ALL the bars were on fire, Good Times!
MJ is the greatest basketball player of all-time because he has the highest points per game in NBA History with 30.1 ppg. He's won 10 Scoring Titles, 6 Championships in the 1990's. The same decade he retired twice in. He's different on the court than any other player. He has won 5 MVPs and 6 Finals MVPs. This man is the GOAT which is more obvious in NBA Basketball than any other sport.
When he came back it was during the 94/95 season where the Bulls made it to the play-offs but got eliminated by Orlando Magic. So in all reality Jordan didn't retire for 2 complete seasons.
His Dad was murdered in the off season after his first 3 peat. He retired before the season and tried to make in major league baseball because his dad was a huge baseball fan and always wanted michael to play baseball. That is why he retired for 2 years. Came back and 3 peated again!
The timeline that they are showing is from the beginning of his career til the end of his bulls career Each year is in chronological order as far as the video is shown 🐐 you're watching
good reaction, i actually enjoyed your conversation at the end which is a rarity in this genre haha there is actually a good video called somthing like "the artistry of michael jordan" or "MJ artistry" or whatever that you should check out. its not as good as this (this is the greatest mix tape in the history of mix tapes and its 1/2 of the jordan highlights out there)
I was born in 1974, yes I'm old haha I was lucky enough to start my basketball fandom with the primes of Larry and Magic and then Michael took it all to the next level. So the way I look at it is I got to watch three of the greatest players of all time and the largest stage of my basketball fandom. MJ Is the GOAT and honestly it's not even close
Jordan is pure great. But the day Kobe died and his daughter died. The world cried hit hard. Watching Jordan cry also hurt. But we celebrate Kobes life!
I'm not a big basketball fan. But Jordan is the best who ever played, Lebron is great but Jordan played in the defensive era, it was harder to score points. You can't compare them, Jordan is 🐐, out of reach, from another galaxy. Greetings from Europe
It was a thrill to watch him play. He played all out all the time. He was deceptively fast, and quick as a cat. But it was his basketball IQ and his mentality that made him stand apart. Yes, he had bad games... Yes, he missed shots with the game on the line. He felt like it was those things that made him better. The Pistons beat him up physically. He started the breakfast club and lifted weights early in the morning before practice to get stronger. He met every challenge head-on and never backed down. He praciticed like he played and that was intentional, as well. Practice like you play... He was also quoted as saying "why would I worry about missing a shot I haven't taken yet?"... He was just different - the total package. I don't like to discuss greatest of all time because the league has changed over the years and there have been players I never had the privilege of watching. But, MJ transcended the sport... People that had never watched basketball were drawn to the game... he became the most popular person on the planet in the 90s. Not sure that one could say that about any other player.
Did you know Jordan was cut from his highschool basketball team ? His coach said he wasn't good enough Jordan said it was the best thing that ever happend to him because it motivated him to be better.
When you take biased fandom out of the equation and look at it purely factually, in every single metric and analytic available, Jordan is the #1 player in NBA history. LeBron is a top 5-10 player at best.
One thing about his first retirement that people forget is his father was murdered and he wanted to honor his father's wish to play pro baseball so he did during his retirement from basketball but he couldn't stay away.
I didn't realize it at the time, some of the best memories I had were staying up late with my dad on school nights watching Jordan and the Bulls. You never knew what what to expect, just that Jordan was going to do something amazing. I'm older now, and my dad has passed, but watching these mixtapes bring me back in time for a little bit.
I know I’ve already commented on this video already probably because I love this video. But the look of disgust on the young lady’s face when he stole the ball and shot it from the parking lot, and the look of death she had on her face when he shot the ball behind the backboard … are a testament to how great Michael Jordan was as a player. Anybody who got to see him play had those looks on their faces every single night and it was worth it.
nobody talks about his freak stats at 6'6 with 12"" hands and could jump 4 feet off the floor ! meaning he could probably touch the top of backboard. Crazy quick , fluid moves ' killer instinct' most competitive man ever . And a lock down defender. Played all the games so many min. And everyone hitting him. Lbj who ?
Forget all the real obvious things that puts MJ above LeBron, Kobe and others (to which no one is really able to reasonably dispute) but there are other things that no one ever brings up to further separate Jordan's greatness far away from the pack: - MJ NEVER switched teams in hopes to catapult himself and gain an advantage to win a Championship. - MJ NEVER lobbied to upper Mgt, the media or even let alone talk to other players to join the Bulls in hopes to catapult himself and gain an advantage to win a Championship either. - MJ was clearly the game's greatest hardwood assassin and the most clutch player to ever lace them up in NBA history. - MJ struck far more fear into the hearts of his opponents than anyone else. - MJ NEVER took a game off let alone a PLAY off on either side of the court. - Other than Pippen, MJ 3-peated twice with two entirely different player rosters for each run. - Here's a doozy for you. In November of 1990, the Bulls lost their very first 3 games of the season. Since then, Michael Jordan never lost 3 games in a row again until June 1998. Only TWO 3-game losing streaks in a span of 626 games reg & post season. That is literally one of the most astronomically impossible feats ever accomplished in basketball. - Imagine this: where does one think MJ would be had he played 20 HEALTHY years compiling longevity stats? Mmhmm. Exactly! - First player (of 3 now: Olajuwan/Pippen are the other two) in NBA history to ever record 200 steals/100 blocks in a single season, and MJ did it... but guess what? MJ did it TWICE. No one else has. Truly an insane feat. Only 6 centers in the league had more blocks than the shooting guard #23 had during his DPOY season. - Folks seem to think MJ was not a play maker, whereas King James is. Not so fast. In 1989 to close out the season, Micheal Jordan played the last 24 games of the season as a Point Guard. In that span of time he averaged 30.4 points, 9.2 rebounds, 10.7 assists, and 2.5 steals per game and all while shooting .498 from the floor. He also had an 11-game stretch in which he recorded 10 Triple Doubles. That's Wilt Chamberlain territory who back then owned the record stretch of 10 consecutive games with a Triple Double. (Russel Westbrook currently has it with 11 now). It would seem pretty obvious the numbers Michael Jordan could have put up if he continued playing a point guard position too. - To make it even more clear, MJ dominated the NBA game as a.... get this... a guard. Let that sink in.... A GUARD!! There are so many other accolades and accomplishments to choose from, but I'm sure everyone gets the gist. Michael Jordan could literally do anything he wanted, anytime he wanted and against anyone he wanted and BETTER than anyone too. THAT is just a bad man. Look, from a practical standpoint, it is fair to say that those of us who have actually watched all of these gifted players in the totalities of their respective careers as well as many other great past players, can bolster a more intellectually honest comparison and opinion. Rather than those who grew up only exclusively watching King James or Black Mamba for example. I happen to be one of those that has watched them all. Without a doubt, like the majority of others who have watched them all, or played against them, the masses agree. The legendary galactic freak show His Airness is hands down, categorically the GOAT... period. I can also say with honesty that I feel King James perhaps has had the greatest CAREER of any basketball player in history... but he is not the GREATEST basketball player to ever lace them up. MJ is the GOAT hands down. There is NO close 2nd either. That's right. I said "not EVEN CLOSE."
Most people who never saw MJ play don’t realize what a great defender he was. MJ was the total package and is the GOAT
Anybody who actually watched Jordan play, cannot honestly say that Lebron is close to him as a basketball player. He is the unquestioned GOAT!! It is such a shame we only got 13 full years of him as a player.

MJ also had an 83.5 percent career free throw percentage, so if you foul him it’s pretty much 2 free points for MJ

11 Championships for Bill Russell btw... Great reaction! And I love the chemistry between you 2. Keep it coming. 😊🙏🏽
Thank you!! 😁
Bill Russell played in a league with ten teams 2 rounds of playoffs way easier to get rings back then
@@tyrannicaltypomichaeltester Also had like 8 HOF teammates and at one point the entire starting 5 and the 6th man were HOF. As easy as it gets.
the greatest athlete of alltime
The Celtics got 11 championships in a time that there were only 8-10 teams in the league, there was no competition. MJ still has 10 scoring titles the most in the NBA, 6 MVPs with 6 championships, defensive player of the year I mean no player is close to his accolades and let's not even talk legacy, he turned Nike into an empire, made the NBA profitable and push basketball all around the globe. Every kid wanted to be like mike. You guys should react to Scap Attack "The Last Choke" or "The Last Super Team" that could put things into perspective when it comes to why Lebron is even in the GOAT conversation.
I think I watched every one of these games, I miss the bulls with MJ, what a time to be alive Chicagoan!
MJ was not only the greatest he WAS the greatest artist. It looked amazing too.
MJ skill level is just crazy. 🦄
Jordan played in a defensive error full of all stars ..... every team was pretty evenly matched
There will never be another MJ! Most complete player EVER! Definitely the GOAT!
I never followed NBA with interest, but I remember someone from Detroit Pistons ( the bad boys, as they were known) chatting with MJ and basically telling him he wouldn't do much in the match. Not only the Bulls won the game, MJ was the MVP and in defiance, signalled back to the player and saying "you can't see or catch me". That was a hell of a statement right there. Also, he's known by Jordan Air for a reason. He simply was the player with the highest time spent in the air, he could jump higher and further than anyone else. And when the Bulls got Scottie Pippen, MJ said to the team boss to take part of his wages to pay for Scottie's wages. What a MAN and player. Still my MVP.
That feeling your Sweet Home got during the Bulls reign was electric! I got into two Championship Games and a small handful of regular Jordan Games. Nothing quite like YOUR team dominating so. Most ALL the bars were on fire, Good Times!
MJ is the greatest basketball player of all-time because he has the highest points per game in NBA History with 30.1 ppg. He's won 10 Scoring Titles, 6 Championships in the 1990's. The same decade he retired twice in. He's different on the court than any other player. He has won 5 MVPs and 6 Finals MVPs. This man is the GOAT which is more obvious in NBA Basketball than any other sport.
When he came back it was during the 94/95 season where the Bulls made it to the play-offs but got eliminated by Orlando Magic. So in all reality Jordan didn't retire for 2 complete seasons.
His Dad was murdered in the off season after his first 3 peat. He retired before the season and tried to make in major league baseball because his dad was a huge baseball fan and always wanted michael to play baseball. That is why he retired for 2 years. Came back and 3 peated again!
The timeline that they are showing is from the beginning of his career til the end of his bulls career
Each year is in chronological order as far as the video is shown
🐐 you're watching
good reaction, i actually enjoyed your conversation at the end which is a rarity in this genre haha there is actually a good video called somthing like "the artistry of michael jordan" or "MJ artistry" or whatever that you should check out. its not as good as this (this is the greatest mix tape in the history of mix tapes and its 1/2 of the jordan highlights out there)
Jordan is the monster!
MJ equals 🐐
I was born in 1974, yes I'm old haha I was lucky enough to start my basketball fandom with the primes of Larry and Magic and then Michael took it all to the next level. So the way I look at it is I got to watch three of the greatest players of all time and the largest stage of my basketball fandom. MJ Is the GOAT and honestly it's not even close
Jordan is pure great. But the day Kobe died and his daughter died. The world cried hit hard. Watching Jordan cry also hurt. But we celebrate Kobes life!
Best days
I'm not a big basketball fan. But Jordan is the best who ever played, Lebron is great but Jordan played in the defensive era, it was harder to score points. You can't compare them, Jordan is 🐐, out of reach, from another galaxy.
Greetings from Europe
I truely believe, if he hadn't retired the first time, he would have won 8 rings in a row. He was a cheat code.
As a huge 90’s Bulls fan I think the same. But idk man those Rocket teams where really big and really good it woulda been a great series!!
I agree, would have loved to see that. @@nickkleiber8636
I watched MJ play back in the day. I can honestly say there is no comparison. Kobe is the only one who came close RIP.
It was a thrill to watch him play. He played all out all the time. He was deceptively fast, and quick as a cat. But it was his basketball IQ and his mentality that made him stand apart. Yes, he had bad games... Yes, he missed shots with the game on the line. He felt like it was those things that made him better. The Pistons beat him up physically. He started the breakfast club and lifted weights early in the morning before practice to get stronger. He met every challenge head-on and never backed down. He praciticed like he played and that was intentional, as well. Practice like you play... He was also quoted as saying "why would I worry about missing a shot I haven't taken yet?"... He was just different - the total package. I don't like to discuss greatest of all time because the league has changed over the years and there have been players I never had the privilege of watching. But, MJ transcended the sport... People that had never watched basketball were drawn to the game... he became the most popular person on the planet in the 90s. Not sure that one could say that about any other player.
There will never be anyone like him, forever and by far the best.
That 3 pointer where afterward he shrugs, that game was after some reporter wrote MJ can't shoot 3s, so he dropped a bunch of 3s that game, lol
If I recall correctly, he made 5 or 6 straight in the first half without a miss.
He set the finals record at the time to prove a point lol
Did you know Jordan was cut from his highschool basketball team ? His coach said he wasn't good enough Jordan said it was the best thing that ever happend to him because it motivated him to be better.
I'm surprised no one ever mentions the one handed catch at 13:17.
Awesome video.
This is how ~125 cm vertical translates in the game 😅
God made the perfect basketball player. MJ was pure excellence.
Michael Jordan is the GOAT. Anybody else trying to make a different case is absolutely RIDICULOUS... There is no question.
Nobody even came close. And still MJ looks like an inhuman player! For me there was never any debate who's best ever.
I'm going to listen to Jump Man by Buckethead. He's done several songs for MJ.
😉
It looked like it wasn't even fair that he was playing no one could stop him
When you take biased fandom out of the equation and look at it purely factually, in every single metric and analytic available, Jordan is the #1 player in NBA history. LeBron is a top 5-10 player at best.
One thing about his first retirement that people forget is his father was murdered and he wanted to honor his father's wish to play pro baseball so he did during his retirement from basketball but he couldn't stay away.
The Voyager video actually tops this one. A must watch..also better music!
I didn't realize it at the time, some of the best memories I had were staying up late with my dad on school nights watching Jordan and the Bulls. You never knew what what to expect, just that Jordan was going to do something amazing. I'm older now, and my dad has passed, but watching these mixtapes bring me back in time for a little bit.
This was an awesome reaction ...6 rings! perfect in the Finals. There is no comparison lol
Other players feared him. They lost sleep when they knew they were about to play him.
Jordan was on a cosmic level. The guys highlights are from 35 years ago yet they look futuristic like theyre from 30 years in the future.
I know I’ve already commented on this video already probably because I love this video. But the look of disgust on the young lady’s face when he stole the ball and shot it from the parking lot, and the look of death she had on her face when he shot the ball behind the backboard … are a testament to how great Michael Jordan was as a player. Anybody who got to see him play had those looks on their faces every single night and it was worth it.
Watch n learn youngsters this is what goat looks like ...Nobody will ever be this way again...This is why they feared him..Black Jesus
Bill Russell has 11 chips in an era where there were less than 15 teams in the league.
The great Larry Bird said that the first time that he played against Jordan that he saw God and he was playing in basketball shoes!!"😂😂😂
Michael Jeffrey Jordan is the greatest basketball player I've ever seen.
& people it ain't close.
Shout out 2 KAJ.
Bill Russell had 11 championships in 13 years!
Mj the goat
nobody talks about his freak stats at 6'6 with 12"" hands and could jump 4 feet off the floor ! meaning he could probably touch the top of backboard. Crazy quick , fluid moves ' killer instinct' most competitive man ever . And a lock down defender. Played all the games so many min. And everyone hitting him. Lbj who ?
Forget all the real obvious things that puts MJ above LeBron, Kobe and others (to which no one is really able to reasonably dispute) but there are other things that no one ever brings up to further separate Jordan's greatness far away from the pack:
- MJ NEVER switched teams in hopes to catapult himself and gain an advantage to win a Championship.
- MJ NEVER lobbied to upper Mgt, the media or even let alone talk to other players to join the Bulls in hopes to catapult himself and gain an advantage to win a Championship either.
- MJ was clearly the game's greatest hardwood assassin and the most clutch player to ever lace them up in NBA history.
- MJ struck far more fear into the hearts of his opponents than anyone else.
- MJ NEVER took a game off let alone a PLAY off on either side of the court.
- Other than Pippen, MJ 3-peated twice with two entirely different player rosters for each run.
- Here's a doozy for you. In November of 1990, the Bulls lost their very first 3 games of the season. Since then, Michael Jordan never lost 3 games in a row again until June 1998. Only TWO 3-game losing streaks in a span of 626 games reg & post season. That is literally one of the most astronomically impossible feats ever accomplished in basketball.
- Imagine this: where does one think MJ would be had he played 20 HEALTHY years compiling longevity stats? Mmhmm. Exactly!
- First player (of 3 now: Olajuwan/Pippen are the other two) in NBA history to ever record 200 steals/100 blocks in a single season, and MJ did it... but guess what? MJ did it TWICE. No one else has. Truly an insane feat. Only 6 centers in the league had more blocks than the shooting guard #23 had during his DPOY season.
- Folks seem to think MJ was not a play maker, whereas King James is. Not so fast. In 1989 to close out the season, Micheal Jordan played the last 24 games of the season as a Point Guard. In that span of time he averaged 30.4 points, 9.2 rebounds, 10.7 assists, and 2.5 steals per game and all while shooting .498 from the floor. He also had an 11-game stretch in which he recorded 10 Triple Doubles. That's Wilt Chamberlain territory who back then owned the record stretch of 10 consecutive games with a Triple Double. (Russel Westbrook currently has it with 11 now). It would seem pretty obvious the numbers Michael Jordan could have put up if he continued playing a point guard position too.
- To make it even more clear, MJ dominated the NBA game as a.... get this... a guard. Let that sink in.... A GUARD!!
There are so many other accolades and accomplishments to choose from, but I'm sure everyone gets the gist. Michael Jordan could literally do anything he wanted, anytime he wanted and against anyone he wanted and BETTER than anyone too. THAT is just a bad man.
Look, from a practical standpoint, it is fair to say that those of us who have actually watched all of these gifted players in the totalities of their respective careers as well as many other great past players, can bolster a more intellectually honest comparison and opinion. Rather than those who grew up only exclusively watching King James or Black Mamba for example. I happen to be one of those that has watched them all. Without a doubt, like the majority of others who have watched them all, or played against them, the masses agree. The legendary galactic freak show His Airness is hands down, categorically the GOAT... period. I can also say with honesty that I feel King James perhaps has had the greatest CAREER of any basketball player in history... but he is not the GREATEST basketball player to ever lace them up. MJ is the GOAT hands down. There is NO close 2nd either. That's right. I said "not EVEN CLOSE."
I was lucky enough to watch MJ play live as a bulls fan there's no way leflop is better than him
He did this as a guard at 6 feet 6. Now just imagine if he was LeBron's size.
