I have been watching the NBA for over 30 years and I will say this It is hard as Hell to Win a championship. Mike 3 Peated twice.. Respect the Greatness#23💯
For the record, Jordan had 2 Gold Medals at the Olympics, in 84 and 92. As an Amateur he and his Team beat an All-NBA Star Team, 8 times as a training for the Olympics 84. Jordan is untouchable.
Kareem lost 1 game in his high school career. Played 4 years of college. Lost 1 game in college his whole career. 3 NCAA championships to Jordan’s 1. Kareem beats Michael in seasons played, minutes, shooting percentage, points eventhough he hit 1 three point shot his whole career, rebounds, ASSISTS, blocks, has 6 championships, 6 MVPs, 10 finals appearances. He actually beats Michael in every stat besides steals so obviously Michael is touchable. You just don’t know anything
Jordan would average 50 in today's game -- the greatest that I ever saw -- the clearcut GOAT. Others don't even come close. People like Lebron are manufactured by the media for clicks and views. But Jordan was clearly a cut above. Kobe was closest to him but even Kobe could not see Jordan. Unless you saw it, you will never truly know just how good he was. They played football against the man... beat him up... clogged the lane with big men... hand checked him... and they still could not stop him. Today, with the soft defense they play -- like I said -- 50 -- book it!! And year in, year out, he was the best defender in the game. He was a shutdown defenseman, even won Defensive Player of the Year. All this GOAT talk is laughable. Lebron choked in a number of Finals... had a number of meltdowns.... look up. Jordan never choked. When he lost after returning from baseball, he started the season MID-season. He was not in basketball shape. It had nothing to do with the addition of Rodman later. Once Jordan had a full season to get rid of his "baseball body" and get his basketball body back -- it was OVER!! He steamrolled everyone. The man is the clearcut GOAT! ......... And its not close.
Preach on my brother..I could've said better my self..been watching since 1971 still to today no one comes close..he change the paradigm of the game and revolutionized it simultaneously.. he was so far ahead of his time that he's even ahead of today's era.. unstoppable -incomparable and unmatchable = The Goat.
Excellent comment!! If MJ played in today's era... he's 40+ a game EASILY. I would buy popcorn and eat it and I don't even like popcorn like that, but I'd be laughing uncontrollably... NOONE today plays D and MJ was DPOY and A NINE TIME 1st team Defensive PLAYER AGAINST LEGENDS who played Defense!!!! This goat debate is laughable... Bron is a great player but everyone who is trying to make him the GOAT by pointing out stats and longevity and Kareems record forget that Brons' nickname is LeCHOKE for a reason. There's only 3 players you should want to shoot the rock when the game is on the line.. Larry Legend, Black Mamba, and Black Jesus of who's the best of that bunch. People are doing Bron a greater disservice by still trying to compare!! MJ won 3 in a row... took off a year and came backhand won 3 more IN A ROW!!!!!!???? Bron will NEVER do that. He's a great player but too hyped up in this era. MJ was just on another planet with his skills. The man had NO weaknesses. Anytime you average 32ppg over 9 seasons and are selected DPOY 1st team lin all of them??? Jordan was BEAST MODE ALL THE TIME. He didn't need to "Flip the Switch" He only had one switch!!! WINNER switch.. The man played like the rent was due! Bron plays like he's asking his landlord for a payment plan. MJ GOAT!!! End this discussion please!!!!!
@@maineprophetic9272 preach on my brother... today's players are good but could be matched..no player before Jordan or after can match him..they forget that Michael Jeffrey Jordan changed the paradigm of the game and revolutionized it simultaneously.. good luck to those who are trying to match him.
Can you imagine... MJ was the most popular, was the most revered and still is decades after he retired. And that was an era when we had no social media. Imagine we had that back then. It would be crazy how popular he would be.
Magic said once he and Larry saved the NBA. Michael Jordan globalized the NBA. He said going to Barsilona with MJ was like traveling with the Beetles. The rest of the dream team was like band mates
Correction his 86-87 season where he averaged 37.1 was his 3rd season in the NBA. His second season he broke his foot and missed half of the season. That was the season he scored 63 against the Boston Celtics
@@MrManny5777 and who did Jordan and the Bulls lose to? The number 1 seeded Boston Celtics with Larry Bird and four other starters who are currently HOFers.
@@MrManny5777 Nah case didn't close nice trying to prove your point but didn't work just because he lost they couldn't stop him he scored 63 and plus the team of the bulls 85-86, was bad.💀
You can't say Jordan's style of play wouldn't work in today's game @4:08.That's absurd.Your talking about a player that is best known for challenging himself in all circumstances in the game he loves so much.How quick we forget that challenges fueled his fire which was a major contributor in why he became the best ever in my opinion.
According to Lebron, kyrie hitting a finals winning three pointer makes lebron the greatest ever. If it weren't for Kyrie and Ray Allen hitting finals winning three pointers, lebron would be 2-8 all time in the finals 😂
They always talk about Michael Jordon 6 Championships. But rarely do they mention he's got 2( 3-peats). And 6 Finals MVP's. And 5 regular season MVP's.
Here's something else for people to consider about Michael Jordan. He's never lost in the 6 times he took the Bulls to the N.B.A. finals. 6-0. And another thing. Nobody can remember Michael Jordan flopping. Goats don't flop. They figure out how to make plays and put up points.
Facts, facts, BIG facts, ask the jokers who now start watching ball from after 2000 which player past or present has that record against their name other than Michael Jordan, they will never be able to give an answer, because there are none.
The reason jordan is the goat to me. Is because he personifies the individual aspects of the game as well as team aspects of the game. Very few before him or since have been able to accomplish this. Magic and bird did but neither of them where as good a defender has him. Kobe(09-10) and lebron(11-12) did but neither one of them where able to substation that level very long. Jordan had every aspect of the game and has the longevity at that level that nobody else has
Jordan won 2 gold medals in the Olympics. Also, he is the only player in history to win MVP, defensive player of the year, and a scoring title all in the same year.
There’s a difference between being the best player ever as opposed to the most accomplished. LBJ is one of the greats. His high level of play for so many years is unsurpassed. He’ll top many of the all time lists of the most coveted stats. But to me, the most accomplished doesn’t mean the best. In their prime, at their best, MJ was the best player I’ve ever seen play. On both ends of the court. People say LBJ can guard all 5 positions. MJ did that nightly. One of the best blocking guards in nba history. And at steals. Blocked centers n PF’s regularly. Dunked on them. 48” vert. 4.2 forty yard dash. Easily palm the ball. The most competitive person to ever live. LBJ is one of the greats. Perhaps most accomplished. Maybe your favorite. But not the best ever. Period.
@@billybuttram2458 everybody great got everybody great at one time or another. You’re using the exceptions tho. There’s no arguing MJ was one of the best defenders. Ever. Stats speak for themselves. Video speaks for itself. Not gonna argue what everyone knows is true.

He is nowhere close either. MJ is in a stratosphere of his own. Discussion has to be for second place, the distance between this alien and everybody else is huge
Early 90s even if you didn't have an interest in basketball you knew who MJ was and all you ever heard was what he had done a in game and that was before the big wide Web and social media were a thing.
Jordan played hard and to win in EVERY game he played. He never slacked off. He never had excuses for bad performances. Even his haters among the playing fraternity respect him for this. As this piece mentions, it’s not just about stats. It’s about respect and how he handled adversity that demonstrate why he is the GOAT.
What’s Crazy Is When You Call MJ The Greatest They Say You Hate Lebron lol. You Don’t Have To Hate On Lebron To Acknowledge MJ Is The Greatest Of All Time. It Just Is What It Is!! 🤷🏾♂️💯
Forget MJ being the greatest basketball…. He might be the greatest athlete I’ve ever seen. I’ve never seen a human / athlete like him before and I probably will never see anything like it again either.
A dude on one video literally put LBJs states next to Jordans and he still only had half the accomplishments Jordan had. Jordan did more in 15 seasons with a 2 year break. Im so sick of hearing about the NBAs little prince Lebumb James. So many people( fans) cant stand LBJ and Lizard boy Adam Silver keeps.pushing him.
Greatest WILL to WIN Ever!!! Cut from HS team - became top recruit in the country. Best player on powerful Carolina team as freshman. In NBA, they said all he can do is dunk - he became best midrange shooter in the game. Criticized as only a scorer - showed he was best defensive player… in the league! Told he’d never win titles, won 3-peat with mostly role players. After 2 years in baseball, doubters said he was through - won 3 more titles back-to-back-to back! Whenever anyone doubted him, MJ proved them wrong! Most dominant, complete player ever. Simply the GOAT!!!
So great he only won 1 championship in 3 season while lebron skipped college went to NBA and still relevant to this year 2023. Don't give me wrong Jordan is the man but stop putting lebron down like he is a nobody.
The difference between MJ and LBJ legacy is that LBJ requires the destruction of everyone else's legacy to prove his greatness. MJ does not destroy anyone's legacy to bolster his own legacy. Jordan stands alone!!
Did u just say, "his style of play wouldn't work in this era"? Lol Dude. MJ would average 40 in 30 minutes of game play in today's poopy soft era, defense is virtually non-existent. fr.
Not only that, Mike would never have to worry about getting called for traveling or carrying. Imagine Jordan driving and having the ability to take 4-5 steps while palming the 💩 out the basketball. It would be over.
Have we forgotten that Michael Jordan took the NBA worldwide The NBA was falling and he Michael the goat brought it back. A lot of times is not about stats because LeBron played longer than Michael but believe me when I tell you Michael is the man, he is a goat
Yeah I stopped watching nba because of the goddam politics. Lebron badmouthing America while praising china. Many have hurt the league in the same way, but he’s the franchise player so I hold him responsible.
And let’s be honest. Takeaway his two years with the Wizards, his second season (foot injury) and maybe his rookie year..Jordan was the MVP every year. It got to the point where NBA, for the sake of the brand, had to give another player the MVP award. Nobody in history was as valuable as MJ. The guy is basketball. You think basketball, you think MJ. Worldwide cultural icon!
@@emack4371 You must be a LeBron fan. Kobe was Micheal. You can watch highlights next to each other, Kobe copied every one of MJ's moves. Put a Bulls jersey on him and you'd think it was MJ. I've been watching basketball a long time. Back when it was the NBA and the ABA. I should send you the best host comparison video out with MJ and James.
Bruh you are lost when you said jordan's style of play wouldnt work when you have guys like bradley beal, luka, giannis, and shai who are slighty average 3pt shooters averaging plus 30 a game. In a wide open league with no real bigs jordan would kill from the post, the mid post, the mid-range, and his slashing was on another level. He's the most efficient player ever and thats backed by PER, VORP average, and box plus-minus. Jordan's game would dominate any era due to the fact he can play in any system due to his offball abilities.
Absolutely spot on. His offball intellect is ridiculous. MJ would score even MORE because of how open the paint is. Absolute garbage what these clowns be talking bout. Blasphemous……
That's the thing with Jordan. People feared him. I'm glad Ray Allen said Jordan's the GOAT. Ray Allen won a championship with LeBron. So he's probably got pretty good insight. Ray Allen also literally won that championship. Lebron huffed the game tying 3 game 6 2014 NBA finals. And Ray Allen hit a 3 at the buzzer bailing out LeBron and the heat went on to win game 6 and game 7 and a title. If Ray doesn't bail out LeBron, Spurs win 2014 NBA finals in 6.
It started because of Micheal Jordans mother. He didn't want to even go talk to Nike. His mother told him that he has to go because he said that he would and he has to be a man of his word. So Nike is still thanking his mother for blowing up a company making running shoes.
What a lot of people don't realize is how far MJ took the NBA the championships are great but what's even greater is how he put the NBA on the world stage IE the 96 Olympics
This debate thing is ridiculous.. it is completely unfair to LeBron to compare him to Jordan.. what some people don't realize is that LeBron is being exposed in the process.. the sensationalism from the media is whats predominantly keeping LeBron above water.. LeBron is a Great player but LeBrons greatness pales in comparison toJordans greatness.. Jordan is unstoppable incomparable and unmatched = Goat.
*THE FIRST 3 PEAT MICHAEL JORDAN DID I DIDN'T LIKE JORDAN AT ALL 😠, HE BEAT THE LAKERS BUT WHEN HE CAME BACK AND WON 3 MORE IN A ROW🤯, HE WON MY RESPECT 😎, NOW HIS STATS TELLS EVERYONE THERE'S NO ONE PLAYER THEN OR NOW THAT CAN EQUAL OR SURPASS HIM IN THE BASKETBALL GAME* 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
As I will keep saying his sneakers alone makes MJ the G.O.A.T! Lebron is still balling right now and his shoes are no where near as hot as jordans! There is no line around the corner for lebrons.
you said his style of play wouldn’t work in this era. 💀 Kobe, devon booker, Kyrie, Jamal Murray…they were doing just fine and only Kobe was a 2 way player. I listed these guys because they’re not 3 dominant.
MJ is the most statistically impactful player ever, going by per game advanced metrics. And who wouldn't? When was the last time a player won a championship because they surpassed some career total milestone? Never. When was the last time a player won a championship because he was the most impactful per game player during that season? MANY TIMES. You want the player who was the best game in and game out....not the player who accumulated stats by playing longer than anybody else. MJ is also the 'winningest' player in history. Winning as in official NBA accolades (rings, MVPs, All NBA etc). He won more than any other player ever. LeBron hasn't even caught Kareem in that regard. So we got MJ with the best individual stats and MJ with the most accolades on his resume. I mean, is that not the LITERAL definition of 'greatest of all time'?
Damn, I wanted about 4 more hours of this… it’s just well thought out, very insightful, even, let’s say you may have never heard of Michael Jordan before and just ran across this; a person would still be intrigued by this. A person that gives you a lot to work with (Jordan)and you use it correctly, is the highest compliment I can give you. The only negative is, it wasn’t the four more hours I wrote about earlier. Excellent job. 🐐
I bet, if Michael Jordan knew the sport of rugby existence , he would have been playing it to during his break from busketball . His a type of rugby team member I would like to have on my team.
Corrections to this video. MJ won 2 Olympic gold medals and 1 of them as a college student. Orlando Magic didn't sweep them in 1995, it was 4-2. Magic got swept the next season. Also MJs style of play will not only work in todays game, he will dominate. Its probably LBJ who would struggle in MJs era since players can defend him properly
Jordan style would work in the NBA today. He would have more spacing. He would work on his three intensely. He will be one of the best defenders he would show up every night. He would probably average 45 points a game. They were 33% more possessions in LeBron‘s era than in Jordans era. That’s more points, more assists, more rebounds. If DeMar DeRozan can average 27 points with his mid range game imagine MJ’s mid range game
Five greatest players of all time and best starting 5 roster ever in no particular order by position PG Magic Johnson, SG Michael Jordan, SF Larry Bird, PF Tim Duncan, C Bill Russell.
Michael Jordan's legacy will forever stand the test of time his greatness both on and off the court is beyond legendary
Amen
MJ is the best of the best

After 2 years in baseball, doubters said he was through - won 3 more titles back-to-back-to back! Whenever anyone doubted him, MJ proved them wrong! Most dominant, complete player ever.
Simply the GOAT!!!
So great he only won 1 championship in 3 season while lebron skipped college went to NBA and still relevant to this year 2023. Don't give me wrong Jordan is the man but stop putting lebron down like he is a nobody.
Jordan changed the game. No one compares or ever will. Period
The difference between MJ and LBJ legacy is that LBJ requires the destruction of everyone else's legacy to prove his greatness. MJ does not destroy anyone's legacy to bolster his own legacy. Jordan stands alone!!
Did u just say, "his style of play wouldn't work in this era"? Lol
Dude. MJ would average 40 in 30 minutes of game play in today's poopy soft era, defense is virtually non-existent. fr.
Your absolutely correct..90% of today's so called fouls defeat the purpose playing Defense.. today's era is a total joke.
Not only that, Mike would never have to worry about getting called for traveling or carrying. Imagine Jordan driving and having the ability to take 4-5 steps while palming the 💩 out the basketball. It would be over.
Jordans style of play would work in today's game
Have we forgotten that Michael Jordan took the NBA worldwide The NBA was falling and he Michael the goat brought it back. A lot of times is not about stats because LeBron played longer than Michael but believe me when I tell you Michael is the man, he is a goat
Yeah I stopped watching nba because of the goddam politics. Lebron badmouthing America while praising china. Many have hurt the league in the same way, but he’s the franchise player so I hold him responsible.
Not actually true Magic and Bird saved the NBA it was bad in the 70s. In the 80s they saved it MJ is the one who made it popular around the Globe.
Image MJ with the NBA teams defence of today😂
Greatest Of All Time!!!
MJ....... The Best Forever
And let’s be honest. Takeaway his two years with the Wizards, his second season (foot injury) and maybe his rookie year..Jordan was the MVP every year. It got to the point where NBA, for the sake of the brand, had to give another player the MVP award. Nobody in history was as valuable as MJ. The guy is basketball. You think basketball, you think MJ. Worldwide cultural icon!
Even with the Wizards, an older MJ was taking that team towards the playoffs but it ended with his knee injury
The list:
1. MJ
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10. The rest
1. MJ
2. KOBE
3.LEBRON
4. BIRD
After that, who cares.
@@Dr.Kevorkian
Mike
Magic
Bird
Wilt
Kareem
Kobe
@@Dr.Kevorkian I care lol.. Duncan, Hakeem, Shaq?
@@Dr.Kevorkian Kobe dies and yall move him next to the GOAT FOH
@@emack4371 You must be a LeBron fan. Kobe was Micheal. You can watch highlights next to each other, Kobe copied every one of MJ's moves. Put a Bulls jersey on him and you'd think it was MJ. I've been watching basketball a long time. Back when it was the NBA and the ABA. I should send you the best host comparison video out with MJ and James.
So lucky to witness his era watching the 90’s era when I was a kid so since then my sneakers are Air Jordan
Nobody can sit on his throne! 💪🐐
I will always respect anyone that doesn't respond to negative comments.....much respect to MJ
Lebron finals 2011 points 8!!!! Losses 😅
Ouch! 😂😂
Got locked down by J.J. Barea lol
averaged 2.2 points 4th qt some goat
Jordan’s level of entertainment was on the highest we have seen. There has never been such an entertainment!
Jordan has shoes that will stand the test of time.
Bruh you are lost when you said jordan's style of play wouldnt work when you have guys like bradley beal, luka, giannis, and shai who are slighty average 3pt shooters averaging plus 30 a game. In a wide open league with no real bigs jordan would kill from the post, the mid post, the mid-range, and his slashing was on another level. He's the most efficient player ever and thats backed by PER, VORP average, and box plus-minus. Jordan's game would dominate any era due to the fact he can play in any system due to his offball abilities.
Absolutely spot on. His offball intellect is ridiculous. MJ would score even MORE because of how open the paint is. Absolute garbage what these clowns be talking bout. Blasphemous……
That's the thing with Jordan. People feared him. I'm glad Ray Allen said Jordan's the GOAT. Ray Allen won a championship with LeBron. So he's probably got pretty good insight. Ray Allen also literally won that championship. Lebron huffed the game tying 3 game 6 2014 NBA finals. And Ray Allen hit a 3 at the buzzer bailing out LeBron and the heat went on to win game 6 and game 7 and a title. If Ray doesn't bail out LeBron, Spurs win 2014 NBA finals in 6.
Sprus would have won if Idiot Poopivich did not take out Duncan with 30 seconds left thinking they won
💯 🐐 MJ
Let's not forget the fact that he left the game for 2 years to play baseball ⚾ and came back to win more championships!
😅Lebron james is not the closest to michael jordan!!!!!
Jordan never got “swept up” by any team ever.. that Orlando series went 6 games
Fact: jordan has never lost a championship round on any level
It started because of Micheal Jordans mother. He didn't want to even go talk to Nike. His mother told him that he has to go because he said that he would and he has to be a man of his word. So Nike is still thanking his mother for blowing up a company making running shoes.
What a lot of people don't realize is how far MJ took the NBA the championships are great but what's even greater is how he put the NBA on the world stage IE the 96 Olympics
MJ G.O.A.T until the world ends
There is no debate mj forever ❤😂
so true
Simply, his Magic aura career
Jordan did not "lead" North Carolina to the NCAA championship. The great James Worthy was on that team. And don't forget about Sam Perkins.
MJ is the standard of how to bet on yourself in the game of basketball as he transcended beyond the game
5:29: 1995 series, Orlando beat the Bulls 4-2.. how is that considered a sweep?
This debate thing is ridiculous.. it is completely unfair to LeBron to compare him to Jordan.. what some people don't realize is that LeBron is being exposed in the process.. the sensationalism from the media is whats predominantly keeping LeBron above water.. LeBron is a Great player but LeBrons greatness pales in comparison toJordans greatness.. Jordan is unstoppable incomparable and unmatched = Goat.
LeBron the one saying he's better. He's not. Not even close.
(4:40) Correction: He brought 2 gold medals from the olympics!! In 1984 (Los Angeles) and in 1992 (Barcelona)
thanks !
That 72-10 season is the greatest season ever.
Toodays game is a 3 point contest.Mike was the nba.Look at the players he played against.Nothing but hof players.
*THE FIRST 3 PEAT MICHAEL JORDAN DID I DIDN'T LIKE JORDAN AT ALL 😠, HE BEAT THE LAKERS BUT WHEN HE CAME BACK AND WON 3 MORE IN A ROW🤯, HE WON MY RESPECT 😎, NOW HIS STATS TELLS EVERYONE THERE'S NO ONE PLAYER THEN OR NOW THAT CAN EQUAL OR SURPASS HIM IN THE BASKETBALL GAME* 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
MJ = Goat....made the winning shots. Stats don't mean a thing if you cannot win a championship and make those hero shots.
As I will keep saying his sneakers alone makes MJ the G.O.A.T!
Lebron is still balling right now and his shoes are no where near as hot as jordans!
There is no line around the corner for lebrons.
you said his style of play wouldn’t work in this era. 💀 Kobe, devon booker, Kyrie, Jamal Murray…they were doing just fine and only Kobe was a 2 way player. I listed these guys because they’re not 3 dominant.
MJ23 is UNTOUCHABLE as the GOAT and it will FOREVER be that way until this earth comes to an end✊🏾💪🏾🖐🏾☝🏾
MJ is the most statistically impactful player ever, going by per game advanced metrics. And who wouldn't? When was the last time a player won a championship because they surpassed some career total milestone? Never. When was the last time a player won a championship because he was the most impactful per game player during that season? MANY TIMES. You want the player who was the best game in and game out....not the player who accumulated stats by playing longer than anybody else.
MJ is also the 'winningest' player in history. Winning as in official NBA accolades (rings, MVPs, All NBA etc). He won more than any other player ever. LeBron hasn't even caught Kareem in that regard.
So we got MJ with the best individual stats and MJ with the most accolades on his resume.
I mean, is that not the LITERAL definition of 'greatest of all time'?
Damn, I wanted about 4 more hours of this… it’s just well thought out, very insightful, even, let’s say you may have never heard of Michael Jordan before and just ran across this; a person would still be intrigued by this. A person that gives you a lot to work with (Jordan)and you use it correctly, is the highest compliment I can give you. The only negative is, it wasn’t the four more hours I wrote about earlier. Excellent job. 🐐
MJ won 6 NBA championship rings with one team MJ destroyed the NBA winning MVP and defensive player of the year in the same year
He won the scoring title, DPOY, steals title, regular season MVP, All-Star MVP, and the dunk contest ALL IN ONE SEASON!
Very good...that's good..Jordan is good forever......
I bet, if Michael Jordan knew the sport of rugby existence , he would have been playing it to during his break from busketball . His a type of rugby team member I would like to have on my team.
It's not just legacy..He really truly is WAY better at basketball than anyone ever, it's not even close.
How would Jordan’s style of play not work today? You can’t touch guys now. He’s getting to the basket all day.
Jordan's Era: Go hard or Go home
Kobe Era: Last of the dying breed
LeBron Era: Stats, Let's play nice, Let's blame everyone but ME, and Friendship
Corrections to this video. MJ won 2 Olympic gold medals and 1 of them as a college student. Orlando Magic didn't sweep them in 1995, it was 4-2. Magic got swept the next season. Also MJs style of play will not only work in todays game, he will dominate. Its probably LBJ who would struggle in MJs era since players can defend him properly
GOAT
Yep hands down MJ is the GOAT 🐐!!!!!!!!
Totally agree with this video. Great job!
For The years that he was getting scoring leader awards, he was also placing first team all defensive... That doesn't get mentioned much
Master at MARKETING.... A rare thing for African Americans.... Our marketing skills as a people is at the bottom of the pole
Jordan style would work in the NBA today. He would have more spacing. He would work on his three intensely. He will be one of the best defenders he would show up every night. He would probably average 45 points a game. They were 33% more possessions in LeBron‘s era than in Jordans era. That’s more points, more assists, more rebounds. If DeMar DeRozan can average 27 points with his mid range game imagine MJ’s mid range game
Jordans logo is on football jerseys. FOOTBALL JERSEYS!!!
Five greatest players of all time and best starting 5 roster ever in no particular order by position PG Magic Johnson, SG Michael Jordan, SF Larry Bird, PF Tim Duncan, C Bill Russell.
Bradys whole aura and persona was glass & @ss facts💯x²
Jordan is a nba player greatness chamber of all time
The comparison is like apples and oranges. Two different positions
i saw the last damn Jordan is different he's so strong each step you will know
5:29 the Bulls didn’t get swept or “swept up” by the Orlando Magic. Jordan also actually won 2 Olympic gold medals
