@@NBAHistoryCLNS The players are great but they’re killing the game. The athleticism is off the charts and the shooting is otherworldly, perhaps better than any other era, but teamwork and team loyalty is at an all time low. The player empowerment movement is causing the destruction of the latter two while the first one is leading to one on one iso-ball and the second is causing all the foul hunting and flopping. All this has caused the diminishing of the Center as the centerpiece around which the game flowed. If you wonder where the fluidity, the artistry, the creativity went; it went out when the players started calling the shots. Coaching no longer mattered, neither did teamwork, loyalty, effort or honoring a contract. Don’t get me wrong; today’s players work really hard on “their” games, unfortunately they don’t work on improving other’s games and if they don’t succeed they just try, try again someplace else, with someone else of their choosing. The game is dying at a time when it should be thriving. Agent’s have more power than owners and even the league itself.

But has 3 more rings than Larry. Once Michael had a good supporting cast, 6 championships followed. In the early part of his career, MJ had very little help, when he played against the Celtics while Larry had great teammates - it was pretty much 1 vs 5 back then...
Had Larry not gotten injured and played at even 89-90 levels, Magic not gotten hiv, McHale feet held up from pistons beatings, Reggie not died, u can count on Michael only winning second 3-peat. 1991 Celtics when healthy were better than bulls and led the east through most of season. They were also considerably better than lakers without Kareem in 91.

No, MJ - Larry and Magic were NOT jealous of you. They were smart enough to recognize just how good you were, and did whatever it took to delay the time that you would replace them.
Yeah there’s an intro to this clip so it was after 1988 that this video was made. I think a few of the shots of them on the court are from later than the interview as well
little mikie was just Da Bulls greatest Offensive weapon, and Scottie was mostly just a Rebounder & Defender, THEN The Bulls had Top 3-Point Shooters, Big Men (Rebound & Defenders)
I liked the camaraderie that Micharl Jordan had with Magic and Larry Bird he respects and admires there great ball playing and their ability to win titles all 3 have won many championships. I pray and wish that Jordan will remember the love respect and comraderie he had with his great freind Chares Barkley and squash the beef and get back to being freinds, life is to short they were great freinds like brothers they are getting older and now would be a good time for them to get back to being freinds before they get to old to hang out and before something happens to one or the other, God is not pleased with hate or holding grudges it's evil and of the devil its best to forgive and move on bc God forgave us and he wants us to forgive others its evil to hold grudges if you dont forgive you cannot crossover to heaven. He Jordan needs to forgive Charles, forget and be freinds they should become freinds again , even if not close but should call each other talk even have lunch, open the door have some dialogue and God will do the rest, just start the process, holding grudges takes to much negative energy and its toxic and ungodly let that mess go , clear the air and move on . I hope Jordan and Charles can make ammends it's the right to do that Magic and Issiah and Ray Allen and Garnet have all made amends its time for Jordan to get smart and make amends with Charles and become freinds again this will add to the greatness he has as NBA goat he will become a great person and human being that we know he is, Jordan it's time to do this.

They only blame the GOAT KILLER for shading MJ in the All Star Game. Never does anyone say Magic. If it happened, it sure goes to show how The ASSOCIATION has Black Balled The GOAT KILLER (Isiah Lord Thomas) who has a winning record vs Magic and Jordan. Zeke took them all down. True Haters can't speak the truth. If any one has played any type of sports knows their record vs their opponents. What is Zeke's overall record vs Jordan? NO Zeke is not the GOAT
Jordan put it on bird , magic and zeke, individually , he just didn’t have teammates like they do , each had at least 2 future hall of famers,but like Magic said ,we knew he was coming,it’s just a matter of when. Zeke got swept, magic got a gentleman’s sweep (4 - 1), but bird left the party early.
As I recall, Magic a championship his rookie year and Larry won rookie of the year. Their careers went sky high from there. Neither of them took a back seat to anyone. I'll give you Isaiah put in work, but Larry wasn't even beating him in the playoffs to get to the Finals. Those three were jealous, because he could do things no other human could do including them. Period. He took their "NBA" from them and made it his, and I'm glad.
@@bossup648 I don't know Isaiah but Isiah has a lot to say about Bird stealing the ball to change the finals among other things. He actually says a lot of great things about Bird. After Zeke backed up Rodman's remarks about Bird being so highly regarded because he was white, the backlash almost ended Isiah's career. Bird had to take time out from preparing to play the Lakers in the finals to go to a press conference with Isiah and say he didn't care and if he wasn't offended why was everyone else making such a big deal. Isiah says that saved his career.
