Steve Smith once said he's the best in the league at stopping MJ. So when MJ played against him and hit his first basket, he told Smith "48". Smith was puzzled "wah...?" MJ hit another basket. He told the swingman "46". So the game passed he counted backward, all the way down to zero, ending the game with a total of 48 points. That's the best trash talking story.
@@jordaniumjordanicus the point being MJ has the balls to do that level of trash talk, and the skills to get to 48 points… you can get stuck on 2 points if you want I guess
This story isn't true at all. First of Steve Smith never said he was the Jordan stopper. Secondly the story is right on RUclips and he counted backwards from 40
Yes you are correct and he made his teammates better also, please checkout my youtube channel BUCKEYE VINNIE, i did a segment video on MICHAEL JORDAN, please watch and subscribe thanks.
Treyvon Jenkins if MJ was on this Era and went to the Cavs or Heat team n tell Lebron “Lace em up its gonna be a long night”.. Lebron would cry on twitter and lose the game at the same time 😂
Ewing: "he never dunked on you" Mutombo: "no" Ewing: "he never put you on a highlight" Mutombo: "no" Ewing laughing: "congrats you just made Mike's 'it became personal with me' list"
Can you just imagine Jordan pulling that dunk on David Robinson that Magic described during the Olympic practice in a real game? Some posters were never meant to be.
I can imagine that it is like John Wall doing the 360 layup from the baseline but the only difference is that it was MJ and he get whirlwind pass Robinson and finished it with a thunderous reverse slam.
BJ said the Bulls practice games were harder than the league games they played, and that he did things in practice that were unbelieveable. Magic's story is an example of how hard MJ went at it.
@@zZArsenicZz If James really is the best, he would have never said that. Michael will never say, I am the GOAT. He will also never say someone else is better than he was, but he will never say I am the GOAT, because that is on other people to determine and he knows that.

Michael Jordan fans are the worst NBA fans then grew up in New York a Knicks fan hating the man , he’s just the best and those of us who have seen it know it
Yall just can't accept that MJ can trash talk and back it up plus Him being the Goat, he can definitely prove it why He's the Goat. Unlike some player out there who loves to pick all stars and blames teammates but still loses.
I'll never get tired of watching clips like this. I don't even get into GOAT conversations usually, basketball back then was just so unbelievably fun to watch. Electrifying performances and hilarious rivalries.
Amazing how even legends of the game treat MJ as a legend. Really says something. Also the look on Ewing's face where he know Motombo just dug his own grave.
Watching the Last Dance the man just oozes confidence and swag. I watched him growing up but never really seen a behind the scenes look at him in such detail. The man is untouchable.
The man took Oj Mayo career before he even got to the league! 😂🤣😂 MJ a killer!!! Hall of Famers are talking about the man like they're fans and they played against the man! What does that tell you... 🐐
" Okay , from this point on it's a lesson. " To have that amount of confidence and that too based solely on your skill and hardwork is the deadliest thing in the world.... No wonder Jordan's the best player of all time.
The thing about Jordan is the fact he was nice in every category especially when he felt challenged! His gracefulness and the way he played the game alone, there will never be another like him and the closest thing to Jordan is not LEBRON, it was kobe
superstaralen when I said he was nice in every category I didn’t mean he was a nice guy! I meant it like there isn’t a single thing in basketball the man wasn’t insanely good at!
i think its great entertainment, like what else are we going to talk about.? mj is the goat? no lebron is the goat, then we start again, then we argue. they know what they are doing. imagine if all ple were catholics or hindus or republicans or whatever. life would be dull.
Kobe is the only one that compares, even with the trash talking stories. They are very similar. Players didn’t want to trash talk Kobe because he played better like that. Same as Jordan. The way I see it is: Jordan is 1A and Kobe is 1B as the greatest of all time. Lebron is up there, but the same reason why Jordan was considered better than Magic, is the same reason why Kobe is greater than Lebron. Just a different beast.
we are still talking about retired players and then some idiot is telling us the goat is still playing. you would think a real goat would dominate the nba if he really was the goat.
I think I heard many players say Mj laughed and joked with players on court, but to get in their heads, because only he knew the onslaught getting ready to take place , and unfold on the court. So glad I'm not 10, or 20 years old. At 41, I remember waiting and watching the schedules and TV guides to see when and who the Bulls played, made sure I didn't miss those games, because I always anticipated Jordan to come out like a black cloud on the league . Thank God I watched prime time games on regular tv, no you tube feeds, & hoping its in 4k,at that. THE Real live games.. Jordan was something to behold, a acrobat ,a trend setter(everyone in every country wanted a shirt, shoe or something with the Jordan logo), a Global Icon, a menace on court, a scary sight to see with the ball if your the opponent team, the score tied, 10 seconds on the clock and he has the dammm ball.. that was a scary sight for his opponents, but for a fan??? Sheeed. We lived for those moments right???😅
Yes, when they first became great, I was a teenager. The highlight of my day was getting home watching the finals with my brother. Once I heard that NBA theme music, it was like the whole world stopped.
MJ was the one and only reason I ever watched NBA games. I never cared much about the game, still don’t, but MJ himself was a sight to behold, a force to be reckoned with who, as these stories tell you, could elevate his game in the blink of an eye. People are going to debate, but MJ is far and away all time #1. I had the fortune of seeing Kobe play in HS as we grew up close to one another. As far as his NBA career, he’s #2. As far as LeBron, he may be #3, but Wilt Chamberlain might have something to say about that. Never saw him play, but the stories about him definitely put him in the top 5 all time if not ahead of LeBron at #3. Not hating on LeBron...clearly he is a great player, but the one thing those other 3 have on him is that they did it alone. They didn’t clamor for other players or hop around looking for championships. They did it. MJ and Kobe both did have an excellent supporting cast who did their jobs when called upon, but neither of them whined when shit didn’t go their way. They elevated their game to rise to the occasion.
“The Last Dance” will make every single person under the age of 28 apologise for thinking LeBron is better. He just isn’t and they are now seeing it for real. They will see the truth. People think Kobe was focused and competitive.....ok. But not like Mike!
Kobe is the ONLY person Mike said could be him in a one on one and Mike don't even like sharing his knowledge with anybody he opened up to Kobe and taught Kobe alot of his basketball knowledge Mike is the greatest most feared basket ball player but Kobe is right up there too
Im not 28. I saw him play. I have seen LBJ. Different eras, Kareem-Magic/Bird-MJ,Shaq-Kobe, LBJ in their era. Bron is a more complete player, MJ has that extra scoring. Stop the nonsense.
Pablo Perez lbj is a beast. Mj gets the edge though. Mj has various dpoy as well as opoy. Mj would win by his will in key moments. Kobe had the samething. Not taking anything away from lbj. An example was an all star game where Kobe guarded lbj and was like it’s time to pass the torch and lbj passed the ball. Wade and melo got on him.
LeBron is a beast. What he can do now is as good or better than what he did 10 years ago. He is just as explosive as he was in 2010. The amount of training, effort, and commitment he has to stay at the top level at 35 is unmatched, BUT there will never be a player like Mike. There is no LeBron without Mike. Be like Mike.
it reminds of "the last dance" when gary petyon said hes the only one who can "Stop" jordan and michael saw the clip and just laughed and said "ok...ok"
Imagine if all the players who trash talked Mike never trashed him. Mike would have never found the motivation to destroy teams 😂 knowing Mike, he would have taken it personally if the players didn't trash talk him.
Seeing young Kobe in that last clip talking to Jordan breaks my heart. At the beginning of his career playing against the player he mimicked his game after and then to know how tragically his life ended .. RIP Mamba
"He was just a victim that night"-A.I."3" I wished they'd stop the comparing of M.J. n others cause there isn't... there's Mike"23" n then there's everyone else..... R.I.P. Kobe#8↔️24
teachmehowtodoge how do you know he moved to a team because of trash talk? Wouldn’t the trash talk just intensify because of the ridicule he gets from “ not being loyal.” Also, it took 4 “ trash talkers” to try and beat him when he was only 23, he won tho. There are levels, just because lebron is more reserved, just like Lenord and dame, that doesn’t make them less of a player just because they have less things to quote.
I was at the Omni the night Jordan put up 61 against the hawks. I’ve never seen a man make excellence look so effortless. The Hawks won the game but no one was even talking about that.
Funny thing is he always backed it up. When he said if I could show you the tape nobody would doubt that. I'm glad the footage was available to prove that it really did happen the way he said that and OJ Mayo also said it was true. 🤣
He's referring to talking trash to a high school kid, a legal child, while destroying him @ a youth camp & telling him his momma raised him wrong right in front of her as he hooped in his face; just so we're clear. If that's not "trash"...
What about Jordan walking into Washington Bullets lockerroom with a lit cigar and asking the entire fing team, "Which one of yall gonna check me tonight?" #GOAT
“When you're good at something, you'll tell everyone. When you're great at something, they'll tell you.” ― Walter Payton When you're in the list of GOAT, they will talk about you for decades, and all other players will all be compared to you.
dikembe said he took 7 years to dunk on him, that is really long, you know? by the way i just saw phil jackson laughing after that dunk on mutombo, as if he knew sth about it. i look at miller iverson and kobe, even magic. they were obsessed with copying, challenging or defeating him. Jordan lifted many men to play and watch nba by setting impossible standards. rip kobe
i believe magic has said he was the king, so when Jordan came and said he was the new king magic would disagree but at one point he was like. yup, my throne is gone. that was the context of their competition. am the king, no, you are not. your reign is over. something along those lines.
yes, yes, i have nuanced my argument by saying, copying, challenging or defeating Jordan. magic was already finishing his career. it was more of a succession struggle between two greats, if u see what i mean. like i said magic said he will not concede the throne, Jordan said, no i am now the king. for younger players like iverson, garnett , miller and kobe it was , am the new kid on the block
As a sports fan I can say that I have my bucket list practically full. I saw Federer, Airton Senna, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Pelé, Mike Tyson and Gretzky play.
Kobe could run his mouth too, that last clip shows how much he admired him but also how much he was willing to take the torch from him. Alpha vs Alpha only that time the big, older dog won.
@Kevin Prima 😅😂 can't blame the guy for trying. I think LeBron is making a strong point for that solid 2nd place. I'm happy I got to see prime Jordan play and now I get to see prime LeBron too.
Besides following most of MJ's career and the Bulls games during the late 80s -1998 and of course his Wizard days. I have one very very special memory I will never forget . Top 4 Live games I have witness when I was a teenager and in my early/mid 20s that I like to share my story with all of you. I grew up in Vancouver, BC CANADA Kobe & Shaq - LA in Seattle (drove there with few friends) Lebron, Wade & Bosh - Miami BIG 3 in Washington (stayed in Washington DC with my cousins for half a year and went to the game myself and purchased a ticket at the booth $95 USD) JORDAN & PIPPEN - Chicago in Vancouver (1995 & 1997) 1997-98 season second time I sat lower section about 18-20 rows behind the hoop. My friend's brother sold me his ticket for double the price that it was worth back at that time. I bought it without thinking. Went alone. Wore the entire red Bulls warm up track suit and brought my ball. Good game. 1995-96 season FIRST TIME in my life witnessing JORDAN, PIPPEN, RODMAN and DA BULLS. Went to stadium really early. Had nose bleed ticket but met up with my high-school coach before the game and he had season tickets to NBA & NHL games. He was more of a hockey fan. He took off his season pass tag and placed it over my head and neck.Then said, "I know how much this means to you and it might even be once in a lifetime opportunity for you to see your loved idol." I wanted to breakdown and still can't thank him enough for doing that. I am 41 years old now and my coach and I still keep in touch. His ticket was about SIX ROWS BEHIND THE HOOP. As the Bulls came jogging out of the tunnel I stood up like many did and I felt this crazy energy, heat and I was shaking. Had goose bumps. I just can't explain the once in a lifetime feeling. Saw Jordan coming out from the tunnel. I never sat down during their warm up. Saw his doing his routine, four bounce, spin the ball foul shots, grip the ball one hand layups and of course his fadeaways!! Long story short a Grizzle player said some crap to Jordan and MJ turned it up and made 19pts in last few minutes of the game with an up and under layup, jumper, fadeaway, 2 steals led to 2 dunks etc. Bulls won. What a game!! WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!! Thanks Coach!! side note: The GOAT MJ brought Nike back to life (basketball sneaker sales) from the shadow or Converse and Adidas (DJ & Magic era). When Nike became Nike Air/Flight then became AIR JORDAN then sky was the limit.

Kobe is the ONLY person Mike said could be him in a one on one and Mike don't even like sharing his knowledge with anybody he opened up to Kobe and taught Kobe alot of his basketball knowledge Mike is the greatest most feared basket ball player but Kobe is right up there too
Im not 28. I saw him play. I have seen LBJ. Different eras, Kareem-Magic/Bird-MJ,Shaq-Kobe, LBJ in their era. Bron is a more complete player, MJ has that extra scoring. Stop the nonsense.
Pablo Perez shut up.. Mj is the Greatest basket ball player ever, u salty ass bron fanboy
Pablo Perez lbj is a beast. Mj gets the edge though. Mj has various dpoy as well as opoy. Mj would win by his will in key moments. Kobe had the samething. Not taking anything away from lbj. An example was an all star game where Kobe guarded lbj and was like it’s time to pass the torch and lbj passed the ball. Wade and melo got on him.
LeBron is a beast. What he can do now is as good or better than what he did 10 years ago. He is just as explosive as he was in 2010. The amount of training, effort, and commitment he has to stay at the top level at 35 is unmatched, BUT there will never be a player like Mike. There is no LeBron without Mike.
Be like Mike.
5:47 "i don't consider that trash. i consider that fact." that laugh he gives at the end is everything lol
it reminds of "the last dance" when gary petyon said hes the only one who can "Stop" jordan and michael saw the clip and just laughed and said "ok...ok"
Imagine if all the players who trash talked Mike never trashed him. Mike would have never found the motivation to destroy teams 😂 knowing Mike, he would have taken it personally if the players didn't trash talk him.
He'd find something...
"They didn't feel like I was worth talking trash to. And I was offended by that.. That's all I needed."
He literally made up scenarios to motivate himself, the man was a beast
If they don't give it to him with the trash talking, he would find a way to get one to motivate himself .
Seeing young Kobe in that last clip talking to Jordan breaks my heart. At the beginning of his career playing against the player he mimicked his game after and then to know how tragically his life ended .. RIP Mamba
"He was just a victim that night"-A.I."3" I wished they'd stop the comparing of M.J. n others cause there isn't... there's Mike"23" n then there's everyone else..... R.I.P. Kobe#8↔️24
j Smith 🤦🏽♂️
KG is an amazing storyteller.
Thank you WGN for signing the deal that aired every single game. It was a blessing to my life. Hats off for a brilliant move.
remember when somebody trash talked Lebron and went 60? yup me too I can't remember.
GERBAX channel nah he just had one of the most efficient playoff games against a trash talking Celtics, I’m pretty sure he had 45
If you trash talked LeSwept, he'd cry for 60 hours. 😭😭😭🤣😂
If you thrash talked LeBlowJob... He will meltdown....
@teachmehowtodoge LeBlowJob dont even want to take the clutch shot againts GSW finals..
teachmehowtodoge how do you know he moved to a team because of trash talk? Wouldn’t the trash talk just intensify because of the ridicule he gets from “ not being loyal.” Also, it took 4 “ trash talkers” to try and beat him when he was only 23, he won tho. There are levels, just because lebron is more reserved, just like Lenord and dame, that doesn’t make them less of a player just because they have less things to quote.
That Kobe MJ convo, is already immortalized. RIP Kobe.
Garnett and JR kill it.... best delivery of that story mashed up... loved it
Kobe like one of the only people you never hear talk about being intimidated about trash-talking Michael
Kobe also asked Jordan for help with moves. Jordan said the only player could beat him was kobe because he steals all my moves.
Chevis Reed
He didn’t play against him much. But they had real respect for each other. It was different with them.
@Kevin Prima you dumb as all fuck
Kevin Prima
Nobody was even speaking about LeBron.
You LeBron fanboys are weird.
Chevis Reed Kobe was Mike’s clone!!!
I was at the Omni the night Jordan put up 61 against the hawks. I’ve never seen a man make excellence look so effortless. The Hawks won the game but no one was even talking about that.
I like how he says, "here's something you can print". Would love to hear the uncensored versions of his story.
the side by side KG story is the best lol i've seen them separate but 2gether it's the same story and it's real lol
“Ahhh ahh 50”😭😭😭😭😭
Funny thing is he always backed it up. When he said if I could show you the tape nobody would doubt that. I'm glad the footage was available to prove that it really did happen the way he said that and OJ Mayo also said it was true. 🤣
Y’all didn’t hear MJ tell Dekembe he was going to cancel his green card. 😂😂😂
TGreen The Gifted damn😭😭😭😭😜😜😜
"I dont consider it trash talk I consider it facts" - the 🐐
He's referring to talking trash to a high school kid, a legal child, while destroying him @ a youth camp & telling him his momma raised him wrong right in front of her as he hooped in his face; just so we're clear. If that's not "trash"...
@@LIONTAMER3D Guy should have known not to mess with with Black Jesus
@@rickyhunt4075 * kid * should have known
@@LIONTAMER3D Yea
as a mj and ai fan when jordan called him "little bitch" i lost it 😂😂😂😂
I love the stories they need to make this a movie 🎥
MJ always Wil be the 🐐
"Why you lookin at me??" LOL
THE BLACK CAT & THE BLACK MAMBA TOGETHER (TIMELESS MASTERPIECE)!!
You notice he said you haven’t got me YET....he knew it was coming unconsciously
MJ: That went from #2 on my priority list to #1. That's how personal it was to me.
Subconsciously**
@@jasondyrkacz8270 🤣🤣🤣🤣
When you see Kobe and Jordan talking, just gives me the chills! Its like a mirror image of them two!
@Kevin Prima hahahaha, kobe is living rent free in this guys head 🤣🤣🤣
2:19 LMFAO KG (now that's a good delivery)
Dude's competitiveness is so infectious it's insane.
What about Jordan walking into Washington Bullets lockerroom with a lit cigar and asking the entire fing team, "Which one of yall gonna check me tonight?"
#GOAT
The first story by Wilkins set the tone lmao
“When you're good at something, you'll tell everyone. When you're great at something, they'll tell you.”
― Walter Payton
When you're in the list of GOAT, they will talk about you for decades, and all other players will all be compared to you.
That's LeBron's biggest problem.
There is no list homie, just one, MJ
Man one thing did you guys notice - everyone speaks not only in respect but in fear of him. Damnnnn
dikembe said he took 7 years to dunk on him, that is really long, you know? by the way i just saw phil jackson laughing after that dunk on mutombo, as if he knew sth about it. i look at miller iverson and kobe, even magic. they were obsessed with copying, challenging or defeating him. Jordan lifted many men to play and watch nba by setting impossible standards. rip kobe
samuel muiruri not magic. Magic was before Jordan & won rings. They’re competitors tho. So of course he wanted to beat his competition.
i believe magic has said he was the king, so when Jordan came and said he was the new king magic would disagree but at one point he was like. yup, my throne is gone. that was the context of their competition. am the king, no, you are not. your reign is over. something along those lines.
samuel muiruri yeah but magic didn’t want to be like him, he was just respecting greatness
yes, yes, i have nuanced my argument by saying, copying, challenging or defeating Jordan. magic was already finishing his career. it was more of a succession struggle between two greats, if u see what i mean. like i said magic said he will not concede the throne, Jordan said, no i am now the king. for younger players like iverson, garnett , miller and kobe it was , am the new kid on the block
samuel muiruri my bad I didn’t really get you point, thanks for clarifying tho
4:20
"He make a shot and you say ... Good shot Mike" :-D
God
I love these stories
THATS WHY HE IS THE GOAT. NO ONE CAN DO LIKE MJ.
"What's up little b*tch!" That really got me laughing my ass off 🤣
Jordan best ever.....Kobe is the only player ever that could do the same thing.
6:58 says it all, guy tells him you never did and never will dunk on me and jordan dunks on him and waves finger. Goat
MJ took over the league. Feared and Respected worldwide. STATS CANT IMITATE true killer instinct, talent, and drive to win! #MJismyGOAT
As a sports fan I can say that I have my bucket list practically full. I saw Federer, Airton Senna, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Pelé, Mike Tyson and Gretzky play.
hope you've seen Messi
that last clip : ,(
Kobe could run his mouth too, that last clip shows how much he admired him but also how much he was willing to take the torch from him. Alpha vs Alpha only that time the big, older dog won.
@Inigo Bantok
And who do you think took that torch? Lehelp? 😂😂😂 You fvcking kidding.
@Kevin Prima 😅😂 can't blame the guy for trying. I think LeBron is making a strong point for that solid 2nd place. I'm happy I got to see prime Jordan play and now I get to see prime LeBron too.
@Kevin Prima with that 3-6 nah 🤣🤣🤣
That KG story, every time i listened to it, it's nothing but gold!!
JR and KG's story is the stuff of legend
Truly the greatest of them all 👏👏👏
KG is a treasure. Pure gold! 🤣🤣
Man I wish these kids today could have watched him in his prime! It was something special!!!
0:17 Dominique with the lay up n M.J with the Glide to the Heavens
Besides following most of MJ's career and the Bulls games during the late 80s -1998 and of course his Wizard days. I have one very very special memory I will never forget .
Top 4 Live games I have witness when I was a teenager and in my early/mid 20s that I like to share my story with all of you. I grew up in Vancouver, BC CANADA
Kobe & Shaq - LA in Seattle (drove there with few friends)
Lebron, Wade & Bosh - Miami BIG 3 in Washington (stayed in Washington DC with my cousins for half a year and went to the game myself and purchased a ticket at the booth $95 USD)
JORDAN & PIPPEN - Chicago in Vancouver (1995 & 1997)
1997-98 season
second time I sat lower section about 18-20 rows behind the hoop. My friend's brother sold me his ticket for double the price that it was worth back at that time. I bought it without thinking. Went alone. Wore the entire red Bulls warm up track suit and brought my ball. Good game.
1995-96 season FIRST TIME in my life witnessing JORDAN, PIPPEN, RODMAN and DA BULLS.
Went to stadium really early. Had nose bleed ticket but met up with my high-school coach before the game and he had season tickets to NBA & NHL games. He was more of a hockey fan. He took off his season pass tag and placed it over my head and neck.Then said, "I know how much this means to you and it might even be once in a lifetime opportunity for you to see your loved idol." I wanted to breakdown and still can't thank him enough for doing that. I am 41 years old now and my coach and I still keep in touch.
His ticket was about SIX ROWS BEHIND THE HOOP. As the Bulls came jogging out of the tunnel I stood up like many did and I felt this crazy energy, heat and I was shaking. Had goose bumps. I just can't explain the once in a lifetime feeling. Saw Jordan coming out from the tunnel. I never sat down during their warm up. Saw his doing his routine, four bounce, spin the ball foul shots, grip the ball one hand layups and of course his fadeaways!! Long story short a Grizzle player said some crap to Jordan and MJ turned it up and made 19pts in last few minutes of the game with an up and under layup, jumper, fadeaway, 2 steals led to 2 dunks etc. Bulls won. What a game!! WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!! Thanks Coach!!
side note: The GOAT MJ brought Nike back to life (basketball sneaker sales) from the shadow or Converse and Adidas (DJ & Magic era). When Nike became Nike Air/Flight then became AIR JORDAN then sky was the limit.
