Jordan is well spoken, polite, humble for the most part, dresses like hes the best. Hes just all around the best there will ever be. It would take one hell of a player to duplicate what he has done on the court and in the business world.
MJ is the best thing to happen to the NBA on and off the court. He's the ideal ambassador for the NBA. The NBA has been phony and inauthentic ever since MJ retired.
...One thing that interests me from this interview by Larry King, the Michael Jordan of his era: MJ's wit, wisdom and vantage views as well as his demeanor set him apart from a lot of high-schoolers who went straight to the big league and most of the one-and-done superstars who either entertained or pissed us off; the pedigree that prepared him to be as successful as he is today in various fields. Of course he has his shares of lapses or frailties but in the bigger picture, his knowledge, values & skills learned from both high school and college years prepared him to be the better MJ he became in the NBA, paving the way of him becoming an icon in many respects and disciplines.
Jordan was all business when it came to interviews. Plus you could never trap him in a conversation because he was conscious about what he said. That's all upbringing. Plus people from the country understand etiquette. They may seem stupid how they sound but are very down to earth and savvy when it comes to conversation. Jordan is an icon a sports symbol so your not gonna get him to say something so personal to where he gets in to trouble because he always focused on the game from a business aspect.One thing he always remember ed to do was smile. Definitely a man of mystic...One thing he did was he never let people put limitations on him. Socially, racially, financially and culturally .One thing I liked about this interview was Larry King tried bating him to say something else when he asked where would he like to go outside of Chicago. Mike said simply his kids go to school there .During the school year he has to be there. I like how practical he is. Because of Mike's stardom People don't understand how regular he is.
I believe Kobe absolutely mirrored many of Michael Jordan’s traits on and off the court. And what a mirror to reflect from. Wow,, Michael Jordan is and will always be a role model. Superior champion, outrageously talented!
ha that ear piece came off awkwardly at 3:57. you dont see too many athletes being so articulated and still staying true to his personality like this anymore.
ppl now talk like clones, because of the internet andd technology: 1990s Normal Sentence: _I took the dog to a walk and saw this tremendous car accident._ 2010s version: _I like literally like, I took the dog to a walk and actually I literally saw like a really bad car accident, LITERALLY!_
I love larry . He is not political , I think he really just enjoys interviewing people . He does not try to ask "got you" questions but seems , and is , actually interested and gets a great back and forth with his guest . I love that he is not politically motivated .
I think the NBA should retire Micheal Jordan's #23 throughout the entire league. Similar to what the NHL did with Wayne Gretzy's #99. No player should be able to wear the number 23 again.
He doesnt see himself as black or anything. He see himself as a person. I hope they learn from him. thats why he is a success because black or white they love michael jordan.
Watching this in retrospect, Larry King was obsessed with race. It feels like he is blown away by the opportunity to talk to a Black man that exceeds his low expectations.
"My name is tabitha ann miller.i use the name dye as part of my social media accounts.but anyway, I am a big fan of michael jordan!!!! I was 4-5 years old when I first say space jam!!!! And michael jordan has been such a huge insperation to me!!! I love,and play, basketball!!! I wrote to him,and he sent me an autograph photo!!!!! Thank you Michael for being such a big insperation to me!!!
I wouldn't like doing an interview with Larry King because he cuts people when they start to talk. Like let Jordan finish talking once he starts talking.
it's rare to find any interviewer anywhere that doesn't do that. Joe Rogan is one I can think of who doesn't. For some reason, interviewers just want to interrupt. I don't get it.
Larry king is doing everything he can to get MJ to talk abt racism. MJ grew up in a two parent home, a house in a nice community. The man grew up good... racism did not affect him nor stop him
Yes, it’s pathetic. The media does everything it can to create a perception that the world is incredibly racist. Eliminate the media and people would stop perceiving racism when it isn’t present.
3:38 I relate with MJ's sentiments about being almost oblivious to race and societies various constructs and hindrences surrounding the topic. I'm African and I was 30 when it hit me. Now I can't unsee it. In retrospect, perhaps it was the answer to the problems that have been plaguing me all along..
I have been a huge fan Of Michael Jordan since 1996-1997!!! I watched space Jam in school,and was extremely impressed by Michael Jordan!!! I play,and love basketball all because of him!!!
What we don't know about Jordon could fill a book. He's like a mob boss. You step on his toes, in business, he'll put you in the ground. guarantee he has been responsible for ppls deaths. I'd bet anything on it.

The swag, the charisma, the professionalism. He is truly one of a Kind...
Is
😪
I agree. There will never be another Larry King.
*IS
MJ is the NBAs GOAT on and off the court.
Michael Jordan is smartest basketball player i think, thats why he made it so much.
Magic is pretty solid too
@John Bent Well said 👏🏻
@@patdoty788magic is not on the same level as MJ
Jordan is well spoken, polite, humble for the most part, dresses like hes the best. Hes just all around the best there will ever be. It would take one hell of a player to duplicate what he has done on the court and in the business world.
i just love hearing him talk
And love that smile!
Only athlete I can say I truly miss
The man has class
Wish we had real NBA superstars like we had in the 90's!

His parents had a big part in his upbringing. His father especially seemed like a good man who had passed on good values down to Michael.
Marcie Mars Great analogy of MJ
So articulate great role model for people in any walks of life

"Do you have doubts that they will succeed?" (Bulls w/o MJ)
MJ: "I have doubts if they don't believe in themselves."
G.O.A.T.!!!
man kobe tried to be just like this dude he tried to sound like jordan i can hear kobe in his voice thats obsession kobe was obsessed with jordan
I believe Kobe absolutely mirrored many of Michael Jordan’s traits on and off the court. And what a mirror to reflect from. Wow,, Michael Jordan is and will always be a role model. Superior champion, outrageously talented!
Kobe was way more charismatic than Jordan is.
Imitation is the greatest form of flattery
@@beckettleathergoods2713
Kobe was a bit more relatable than Mike
Y wouldn't he
MJ GREATEST OF ALL TIME 📻📀💿💽🎙️
That was a cool interview by Jordan
So much charisma in a man, rare air indeed!
his words selection is outstanding. this man mastered every aspect of life. crazy!
R.I.P to Larry. Legend!
What a Grace you have! Best athlete of all time!
I enjoyed the interview, quite frankly
Me too, to a certain extent
ha that ear piece came off awkwardly at 3:57.
you dont see too many athletes being so articulated and still staying true to his personality like this anymore.
You raise a great point. Articulate is the perfect word.
ppl now talk like clones, because of the internet andd technology:

2010s version: _I like literally like, I took the dog to a walk and actually I literally saw like a really bad car accident, LITERALLY!_
MJ didn’t get offended by any question and answered the best he could plus from the heart also zero politics👍🏻👍🏻.
I love larry . He is not political , I think he really just enjoys interviewing people . He does not try to ask "got you" questions but seems , and is , actually interested and gets a great back and forth with his guest . I love that he is not politically motivated .
40:25 never say never. With a smile ;) I've got a feeling he knew then he'd be back.
He said he would not like to own a basketball team, I wonder what the change of heart was
With how Lamelo and the Hornets are playing his pockets are about to🍾
Funny watching these interviews when he retired the first time cause after this he came back and repeated a three Peate crazy but love watching them
I think the NBA should retire Micheal Jordan's #23 throughout the entire league. Similar to what the NHL did with Wayne Gretzy's #99. No player should be able to wear the number 23 again.
Spot on
He doesnt see himself as black or anything. He see himself as a person. I hope they learn from him. thats why he is a success because black or white they love michael jordan.
CJ Salud Who are the “they” you are talking about?
Who are "they"?
MJ knows he's black.😂 Yes the media haved learn from him over his basketball career.
Larry has been the same age for 20 years
Say Cheese 20?!! This was nearly 30 years ago and he still looks the same.
Watching this in retrospect, Larry King was obsessed with race. It feels like he is blown away by the opportunity to talk to a Black man that exceeds his low expectations.

RIP Larry King 🙏🏼
Amazing video 📼.
30:03 my dad painted that!!! James Crespinel
He did an amazing job, especially capturing the “assassin stare” Jordan had at crucial points of the game. Congrats to James Crespinel
Is this his first retirement?
That is sick.. that means MJ acknowledged it maybe when he was there.
I wouldn't like doing an interview with Larry King because he cuts people when they start to talk. Like let Jordan finish talking once he starts talking.
it's rare to find any interviewer anywhere that doesn't do that. Joe Rogan is one I can think of who doesn't. For some reason, interviewers just want to interrupt. I don't get it.
39:30 Mike talks about the GOAT question.
Adam Ryan rare stuff man, keep it COMIN 👍🏻.. by any chance, do you have 1999 2nd post retirement interview of MJ with Larry king??
Thanks, SDot.I do have some rare stuff in the archives, but haven't checked for many years. I'll look through and see what I can find.
I ate at Jordan’s back when I was kid in 1994. Now I believe it’s still a restaurant, but not sure.
Yep. It's 2 in Chicago now
Jordan rocking the Air Pod retro
"Their feelings maybe, but not physically". LMAO
What’s with that ear bud that would’ve bugged the crapped out of me, why didn’t he remove it???
Ironic about the grand kids reference as MJ got a grandson now😊
Cleveland call maybe turned off after what he said lol
great stuff man! thankyou
Ha! You're welcome. Thanks for commenting.
Larry king is doing everything he can to get MJ to talk abt racism. MJ grew up in a two parent home, a house in a nice community. The man grew up good... racism did not affect him nor stop him

Larry King and Oprah: two people who love cutting off the people they interview smh
MJ 's views on race is spot on.
That damn earplug. LoL
The first Air pod!
Amazing video.
Too much background noise toward the end. They should have found a quieter place for the interview.
Quiet frankly MJ did ok with this interview
he talks about his vertical jump 32:00
Yeah why did he say he never tested it or knew what it was, when it says in the book that they trained and tested it
GOAT
3:38 I relate with MJ's sentiments about being almost oblivious to race and societies various constructs and hindrences surrounding the topic. I'm African and I was 30 when it hit me. Now I can't unsee it. In retrospect, perhaps it was the answer to the problems that have been plaguing me all along..
That's exactly how ms dhoni talks. No wonder legends have things in common
RIP Legend
Didn’t realise that Jordan’s vertical was never recorded.
46”
45+" his sophomore year in UNC. There's a published medical journal where it was part of the many articles. Maybe he meant in the NBA.
I have been a huge fan Of Michael Jordan since 1996-1997!!! I watched space Jam in school,and was extremely impressed by Michael Jordan!!! I play,and love basketball all because of him!!!
He came back and accomplished another 3-peat.
😪
Larry king
wow a CNN interview thats not fake news!
Kade Rowe That's when CNN had real interviews with real people and reported real news.
This was still fake news. Jordan didn’t retire
“Retirement”
It’s interesting, why did he say his vertical leap was never measured
Yeah. That's bs. It was measured when he was a sophomore in UNC. 45+". Maybe approx 47 max in the league.
💯
The father question was not right
He looks different
What we don't know about Jordon could fill a book. He's like a mob boss. You step on his toes, in business, he'll put you in the ground. guarantee he has been responsible for ppls deaths. I'd bet anything on it.
6 NBA FINALS appearances and 6 CHAMPIONCHIPS .. 100%... ENOUGH SAID
Hah, he changed his mind about owning a team. Bad decision.
First
