What separates MJ from other players besides his athleticism and talent was his relentless never say die mentality! Jordan is the most competitive athlete ever! Even more competitive than Kobe. MJ refused to loose when it mattered. He is the type to keep searching for ways to beat you if it took the rest of his life! This is why he would absolutely dominate in today’s era. Forget trading teammates. He would get in their ass so much they had no choice but to play better!
MJ was by far the most important player on the Bulls roster. People saying he couldn’t have won without Pippen may be true, but he could have won with any other competent all-star. Pippen could be swapped out, MJ couldn’t be, because he was on a different level than anyone else in the league. I watched the games in the 90s, he was just that much better.
Kukoc and Kerr were on the Bulls roster and contributed to the team from the time of Jordan retirement after his father died. Kukoc was Mr clutch and the reason for 7 regular season wins with buzzer beaters and had a game winning buzzer beater in the playoffs as well with Pippen pouting on the bench. Rodman was one of the best rebounders of the time.
I like the way the video broke down every year-by-year from 1984 -1998. They should have explained his final 2 years with the Wizards, too. MJ was the most athletic player in the 1980s. Chicago had Pippen and Grant in 1987 and they helped MJ in the 1990s win 6 NBA Titles. Horace Grant went to Orlando. This video showed how Jordan started from the bottom and work his way upward to the GOAT.
There was a lot of negative narratives that were 🧢 in this video. For instances he wasn’t a ball hog because he wanted to be. He literally needed to be or the bulls would lose every game. So many missed dimes because his teammates would miss shots. Also when the bulls got Scottie Pippen he wasn’t an Allstar caliber player. He was a 7.9ppg bench player. Without MJ’s tough love practices we would have never seen the Scottie Pippen become the HOFer. The video said that Pippen gave MJ a break from defending the best players is also 🧢 Pippen was a great defender and his 7 foot wingspan meant he was better suited to guard taller players. But it’s not like MJ wouldn’t take the challenge to defend and he didn’t rest on defense. What wasn’t mentioned was that MJ had an 8 year stretch where the Bulls didn’t lose 3 games in a row. Just think about that. Pippen earned his HOF career no doubt, but this video makes it sound like Pippen came to the Bulls and they immediately started winning. Pippen wasn’t an Allstar until year 3, and he wasn’t an Allstar the year MJ won his first chip. Also Horace Grant was just as important as Scottie. If Horace stayed with the Bulls they never would have gotten Rodman and Grant would have also become a HOFer just for being in the same squad as MJ for all six chips. Grant left the Bulls so that’s why he’s not regarded as a HOFer MJ’s playoff loses all came against superior “Teams” stacked with multiple HOFers and Allstars. So it’s not like his “hero” ball was killing his team. Too many false narratives being repeated in this NS video knocks it down to a B. Also the video states the HOFers on MJs second threepeat run but it’s not like Rodman was in his prime or even an Allstar. Kukoc was a great versatile player and earned his HOF career in Europe. Not because of his NBA career.
@@RjDixonTV Phil Jackson and the players said the gameplan was always give the ball to MJ and get out of his way. Phil said we asked him to be a scoring machine.
For context RJ, that "ankle injury" in 1986 was actually a broken foot..MJ missed 62 games due to that broken foot, came back the same year, took his team to the playoffs and dropped 63 on Boston, coming off that same broken foot...just wanted to clarify.
@@RjDixonTVThe medical staff didn't want him to play but Jordan had the love of the game clause in his contract so they couldn't stop him from playing.
His father's death was not killed for MJ's gambling problems (that was the narrative), but in reality his father was traveling back home and stopped on the side of the road to sleep. The family expected him home and he didn't show up. Reason was 2 guys saw his expensive car sitting on road and was going to take it, but saw him inside and they saw he had on expensive jewelry. 1 of the guys apparently tried to take off his watch and MJ's father woke up and they tried to rob him then shot him in the chest, took his jewelry and took off. They caught 1 of the guys still wearing the watch and that's how they found the 2nd guy.
Kerr's shot was for the lead with 5 seconds left. Pippen deflected the inbound pass and Kukoc picked it up and dunked the ball with a couple of seconds left to seal the victory and the championship. I have a tape of the game(6 1997 finals).
This video narrator sounds like a Lebron fan saying MJ was selfish and didn’t explain how his teammates were drug addicts. All MJ needed was serviceable teammates. Without Pippen?😂😂 what a load of crap! They should say without Jordan Pippen didn’t win anything. MJ made Pippen and all his teammates greater. Pip had his chance to be the leader in 94 and because of Phil Jackson’s coaching they won 55 games but you have to apply context to understand. Pip was selfish and in the playoffs he refused to check into the game because Phil Jackson set up the last game winning play for Rookie Tony KuKoc. Take a look at 95 season and the Bulls were 34-31 failing miserably to meet expectations about to miss the playoffs when MJ came back and they ended with a 47-35 record. MJ was so loyal to Pip. He could have traded away pip for young Tracy Mcgrady was refused to play without Pip. After 98 MJ retired and pip played with the Houston Rockets (Barkley and Hakeem) in 99 then played with the Super team in Portland and just go look at the roster and you’ll realize that MJ was the one variable those Bulls Championship teams couldn’t do without and that includes ungrateful a$$ Scottie Pippen.
Yeah and Pippen joined the bulls in 1987. So they lost many times with Pippen too. What really changed things was Phil Jackson and Jordan bulking up so he could handle the intense defense(Jordan Rules) better.
I Just Want To Add Mike Wasn't A Willing Ball Hog. I Watched Over A Hundred Live Bulls Games. Where MIke Passed To His Open Or Little Contested Teammates & They Will Missed Their Dunks, Lay Ups, Mid Ranges, & Threes Consistently During Games. That's Why Us Old School Fans Didn't Mind To Watch Mike Take The Most Shots. MJ Will Make 6 Or 10 FGs In A Row Consistently A Quarter Very Very Fast With Double & Triple Teams On Him. Yeah He Was That Ridiculously Good
Let’s not act like Scottie wasn’t talented. That’s disingenuous. Coaching was NOT the only reason those 94 bulls won a lot of games. Pippen was an mvp candidate and was leading the team in most categories statistically. The man pretty much do it all. And yes, while we can’t say jordan’s influence on tipping help him to improve what we won’t do is act like Scott would be nothing without jordan Scottie Pippen would’ve been a great player wherever he went, he had the tools to be great in Seattle neck and very pain as well. All immediate with the work and the time Scotty had all the tools to be great. He had to put his OWN work. Jordan didn’t put in the work for him. So to discredit his work ethic and his ability to get better and his talent by trying to make it seem like jordan and Jackson was the only reason that he is who he is, is ridiculous. Pippen was a BEAST. Show some respect.
Like Allen Iverson said he definitely wouldn't average 30-40 points he would average 50 points per game in today's game. Remember they had hand checking back in the day. You can't even stare at a basketball player too long today without getting a foul drawn on you. Jordan would easily dominate today's basketball with 50 plus points per game.
I like when People SAY its because of Scottie or Rodman, or his team.. he wasn't nothing without them.. or he's not the GOAT because he had the team.. no they won the championships because of all of them.. THE GOAT is NOT the team.. ITS ONE Person.. No one is saying or asking who was / is the Greatest TEAM of all time, but PLAYER... Jordan by ALL stats is the best player of all times..he is the "GOAT"..
Phil was an assistant on the team in 87' .He didn't just appear in 90-91. Tex Winter was the architect of the triangle and was on the team in 85 ....two years before Phil was hired. Pippen took 3 years after Jordan pushed him to be a hof player.
@@RjDixonTV It was and they won the titles with mediocre centers, when Phil and Tex went to L.A. they had a dominant center in Shaq and that was when the Triangle was run to it's full potential.
If you really want an explanation why MJ is the GOAT, check this video : Attention to Detail: Michael Jordan, the highlights, the dunks etc. etc. means very little without the full contest.
Every superstar player needs a good team and a good sidekick no one wins championships by themselves. How many championships will LeBron have without Wade, Kyrie, AD, so who’s ever narrating this video sounds like a Jordan hater
Nice reaction man, MJ was superhuman and should have been part of the Avengers 😄. You got to watch his blocks highlights ruclips.net/video/QV76XhTXIcY/видео.html, or this one about his defense ruclips.net/video/f4gigN2zMU4/видео.html. In case there is still doubt about how good MJ was watch this vid about the best NBA seasons of all time. Now is a good time to get the popcorn 😉
You need to watch Lebron vs Jordan The Best Goat Comparison where it breaks down all the stats and youll be blown away how much better Jordan was. Also check out Jordan's mixed tape mind blowing. Brah
He named greats he played against. But the young dudes who Never seen him or the league play back then, say he played against plumbers.. from one uneducated young dude to the next.
The narrator omitted the progress his teammates had made or how whiny and inefficient they often were especially against the Pistons. Pippen was 1-10 from the field in game 7 of the 1990 series because of a migraine but Horace and BJ were just as bad with no ailments bothering them.
This narrator is being deceptive pippen and Grant was on the team 3 years before the first championship the same Scottie caught a migraine/choke in game 7 against Detroit the bulls would have been in those finals he forgot to mention that should be 7 rings for MJ 👍
Pippen arrived polished at the Bulls is such bs This guy lowkey dissing jordan everytime he gets an opportunity to but the facts keep slapping his ass back into line
AND NO ONE is saying Lebron is the worst, or he's not good.. LeBron is a GREAT player... But stats show.. and Jordan did it less seasons.. If you take away the championships .. WHO is the better Player not team ? Teams win championships.. BUT who is the better player ?? From MJ's rookie Year he has been the "BEST PLAYER" till he retired the 2nd time... NONE of his stats have been Broken, EXCEPT all points, and Lebron ONLY got that because hes still playing... Just pointing out the issue.. GOAT is player not team
Puppet the Extra Help? Pip was the only All-Star Jordan EVER played with. How many has LeBron played with? How many super teams did LeBron put together? How many Chips? How many years? Don’t blame the warriors….LeBron started this super team era…
Brother, l don't know who this narrator is but don't let this dude fool you into thinking MJ wouldn't have arrived without Pippen. MJ on the court had no weaknesses. When Pippen was hobbled especially in the Finals MJ held it down. Pippen is a deserved HOFer but honestly if it was Drexker, Dominique Wilkens, David Robinson, Hakeem Olajuwon, Patrick Ewing, as his second, MJ was still going to rule. The team would been built differently but he was the Center Piece. Don't let this guy fool you
Pippen went from MAYBE being a little underrated to being egregiously overrated due to this “Lebron is the GOAT” campaign. They use the fact Pippen was the next player on the Bulls and opted to stay MJ’s with the Bulls as running mate throughout their dynasty as evidence that it was actually PIPPEN who was the x-factor to their success which is just, embarrassing if you believe that. Even the video makes it seem like Pippen guarding Magic after game 1 might be the reason the Bulls won the next 4. I’m not saying it didn’t matter, or didn’t help, but they only lost game 1 by 2pts. And Magic’s numbers remained consistent throughout all 5 games. It’s not like he had a great game 1 then got shut down. And what he didn’t mention is how MJ just so happened to avg 11.5 assists in that Laker’s series vs the assist GOAT. The next year he rained 3’s to beat the league’s other best shooting guard who they said was a better 3pt shooter. Then in ‘93 he beat the league’s offensive powerhouse by avg over 40ppg…
With today's soft NBA lack of defense and the fact that you can't touch anyone without getting a foul or even saying the wrong thing without a technical........ Jordan would score at will and guarantee he would average 45 or 50. Had no weaknesses and was the most clutch
People who actually seen MJ play live know that LeFraud is nowhere near the basketball player MJ was...LeChina isn't even top 5 if you saw the 80's n 90's NBA live. MJ Bird Magic Barkley Kobe
I can’t stand seeing James in the conversation based on stats. He is a shit player who drags teams down rather than elevate. Worst thing to hit the league, ever.

Mmm interesting! Thanks for this info because I sure I don’t know lol ! I wish I was alive to see them in action
