That Wizards version of MJ made me appreciate him more than any other time in his career. It proved that it wasn’t all God given talent. Wasn’t the speed, quickness and 48 inch vertical. It was pure skill underneath all of that and he wouldn’t have been able to show that otherwise
Ikr. Dude was scoring 26 ppg before he injured his knee. Floor Jordan still getting buckets and didn't need to shoot a shtload of 3s.
@Groovingonem Sound and solid fundamentals And excellent understanding of the game if i may add..everything you said is on point. His Wizards years actually should be an inspiration to hoopers of all ages
Groovingonem well said
If you’re a true competitor and a true basketball fan, you will completely understand this man. He was a winner. And real competitive people know what it takes to win.
no that's not true there are NBA greats that probably don't understand him like Bill Russel and KD there's nothing wrong with it but their situations would never cause them to truly have to be intense to the point to where it was simply mean but definitely called for
@@elchoppa2346 never heard of Bill russell whining about not being the top guy and being a Diva 😂
Well said brother, well said..if you are competitor like him and a true basketball fan you can and will relate to him; if you are just a casual basketball it's ok; if you are hype/trend follower and has no goals whatsover he's terrible and ruthless
Yeah me too.i can't understand why people are saying mj is so mean. YOU HAVE TO BE MEAN, to intimidate your opponents and have the most advantage as you can get no matter what.
@Mitsi Grabblerberg Hes better than Bill Russel if he didnt go to the warriors he would be top 5 in most peoples eyes
MJ: I did something wrong
Stephen A. Smith: No MJ you did it brilliantly
and here’s why..
Because they talk on the phone all the time
Antonio Consuegra because he did. No excuses 6 wins in and out. No fake arm injury here 😁
@@longapathy6949 lol you had me🤣🙏

I loved every minute of that Wizards comeback. Elevated his legend in my view.
bee vee agreed
I agree 💯
Me too. It was like watching old Batman.
Watching a 40 year old Jordan school the young superstars was awesome in my eyes. Everyone acts like he was a scrub in Washington, he was still averaging more points a game then most guys in the league.
Same he’s gonna be the only 40 yr old in nba history to average 20ppg
His biggest regrets were Having to retire twice and possibly winning 2 more chips or more MVPs and also playing for the Wizards
He didnt HAVE to do any of that so i dnt see how he'd regret it.
MaxJuilien that’s exactly why he should regret it. He didn’t have to retire the first time, but he did. That probably cost him 2 chips.
Maybe to us but that first retirement was about his pops dying man, they were close
@@IScoreUnderPressure4 Former Mafia member Micheal Franzese had a reason why Mj had to leave the nba at that time. Whether it's true or not idk
I once saw a MJ's interview that he explicitly said he didn't regret his 1st retirement and instead he genuinely enjoyed his baseball period. His 1st retirement helped him have a good rest, physically and mentally. And during his absence, the bulls underwent rebuild, being reinforced. Those factors greatly contributed to the 2nd 3 peats. If MJ didn't retire in 93, they could make to final But I don't think their winning chance high. After all Olajuwon and his Rockets were unstoppable during 94 - 95. It's the fans' regret they never saw those 2 legends of 84 meet in final.
Greatness can't be understood by the simple minds
OB LOVE Yes. Since LeBron is greater than MJ, his greatness can not be understood by simple minds.
Monarch 😂🥴🥴
The ONLY thing MJ regrets is not winning even more lol
Bullying and physically hurting teammates dont count?
Jon Doe that’s not bullying and hurting that’s hustling and encouragement. If u can’t take the heat ur not gonna make it in professionals
@@JonDoe-fo3kl 🤣 this why I call this softass Generation "Steers & Queers".. Mj and Kobe had that hardcore no weakness mentally 🦁.."there will be no wall put up that I will not break down".. "Are you coming with me, let's go"!!...
@Iceman he played like what 20 games? No way you can change the whole system that was made without Michael at that moment to fit him when he came back. Like bro if he came back at the beginning of the season, I think they got the chip
@@anhvu4889 95 Bulls , Horace Grant their 3rd best player went to Orlando and became their 3rd best player to help them get to finals, super underrated player because of low scoring numbers. So they lost Horace but didnt replace him with Rodman yet. Btw Jordan gets too much individual credit for winning 6, an individual only can do so much, that's why he was 1-9 his first 3 playoff series and then lost to Pistons 3straight years. It's a team game . Bulls team defense held Sonics under 90ppg in the 96 finals while Jordan was 27pts on 41% and the TEAM defense held Utah to 54pts in a finals game in 98. Jordan is lucky Hakeem never had a teammate like prime Scottie Pippen and to not have see them in any finals.
Make no mistake about it, MJ ain't regretting NOTHING! espn just actin up like they always do
How you know
Well MJ did say himself he wasn't sure how people were gonna react to his methods. He might regret this if for some God forsaken reason people despise MJ. I don't think people will tho he's the GOAT lol
lny.... Michael Jordan’s BIGGEST REGRET should be about him SELLING OUT the Black Woman of the earth 🌍 and marrying a White Woman 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️... Just imagine if LeBron James married one of them blue eyed devils? Skip Bayless would REALLY HATE him!!!
@@IJones-yz6qm only you care about who Lebron marries or wouldnt marry , devils in any race and who are you to judge anyone , ye without sin cast the first stone !
@Aaron Robles 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I enjoyed MJ at the wizards as I always wanted to see him live....Because of Washington this happened and he had 30pts at 39 and a dream came true for me! And he he made so many people happy by playing these years.
Good thing =he hold the oldest Player to scored 51 pts and 45 in a row. At age of 39 and 11 months
Down side = his Last shot at utah was a Perfect Ending.....😢😢😢
Perfect ending except he decided to come back as a Wizard when the league was no longer his
The shot in Utah was such a picturesque ending. I choose to ignore the wizards years
We ain’t gotta understand nothing. Everything MJ did was to WIN. And he was the best at it
@VISHWANK PATIL exactly
@VISHWANK PATIL everyone ignores the fact that even in 95' he didn't make the finals cuz Shaq clapped them in the conference championship
VISHWANK PATIL what about when Lebron didn’t make the playoffs his first 2 season
VISHWANK PATIL what about the time he won 6 rings. People want to congratulate players for NOT winning nowadays. Only one team wins per year, all other teams are losers. Being in 2nd place just makes you the 1st loser, we don’t celebrate that where I’m from.
Kj Styles and last year too
Max is just wrong. The goats Wizard years are underrated af. He was on pace for a while to win another scoring title and in the MVP conversation. How was he not an all star caliber player when he averaged 20ppg during the lowest scoring era in NBA history? The man dropped 51 points with no knees!
False. He should have stayed retired after 98. Go out on top.
People forget the wizards were in the playoff race and Jordan was averaging 25ppg until he broke his ribs and tore his meniscus. Wizards MJ was literally picking up right where he left off lol
@TheRealist 811 True. He was playing like a top 10 player but not the undisputed best at the age of 38-40. But being top 10 imo with busted ribs and busted knees is just incredible.
@TheRealist 811 them years were pooh. Hard to stomach
@@kungfukenny8098 i just checked the game logs you right. that is absurd. 39 yr old averaging 25 ppg with severely limited athleticism and a game based purely on skills.
Wizards years was a testament to MJ’s abilities and greatness. He could drop 40 on you at 40 on 50% shooting.
Stop it max
wizards year proved that he aint going nowhere with a team built around him. unlike lebron
@@liltipods3372 keep in mind in 2003, teams averaged only 88ppg. Today, teams are averaging 113ppg. By using proportions, that would be equivalent to averaging 25.7ppg. Im not seeing Lebron average that numbers and by the way before he injured himself in 2002 just before the all star game. He was averaging 26ppg and was 3rd in MVP voting. Again, by using proportions, 26ppg is equivalent to 32ppg. Tell me if Lebron is averaging 32ppg at 39 years old🤣🤣🤣
You forgot the wizards were 3rd in the east before he got injured kid and he was 3rd in MVP. Even Lebron cant make the playoffs without AD🤣🤣🤣
Come back to me if Lebron is averaging 32ppg on 48%fg and is 3rd in MVP conversation at 39 years old kid🤣
Lets wait and see how Lebron stacks up at 40 lol
Michael Jordan is the Greatest Basketball Player to ever play
🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🎯
Ron The NonToxic Straight White Male lmao can I have what you are on bruh he is 3-8 in finals what’s mj 6-0 never went to game 7 lbj had to go to 2 game 7s and if it was not for ray Allen he would have 2 rings who’s the goat now it ain’t bronsexual
Rorouni Rose ikr
When Jordan came back and played for the Wizards, it took him time to get his basketball legs under him, but when he got back into the swing of things, he was playing about like his old self. Then the meniscus tear happened...
yeah he was averaging 27-6-6 his last 10 games before the injury. His team was on a winning streak and even ranked like 6th in the conference, going to the playoffs
Averaging 20 at 40 years old with some 40 and 50 point performances only proves how great he was
TexanTube plus he had been off for 3 years. That’s amazing lol
I hate when ppl try to tell an insanely driven athlete when to retire.
Artest fucked up his ribs and according to Artest if he didnt break his ribs he might have won a chip with Washington
Baseball career...oh yeah....not so Jordanesque
The biggest regret he should have is the fact that he returned to playing basketball, only to play for a wizards team that is downright bad. Other than that, let's just enjoy the fact that he is still.....The Greatest
Not a regret... gave fans who love him a chance to enjoy his play again
Reget = bullying teammates
Facts
Jon Doe instilling a winning mentality in his teammates isn’t bullying
Sports 311 Nah. LeBron is the greatest.
I heard Jordan donated his first year wizards salary to 9/11 victims as well.
He sue a small business owner for throwing a mj hof induction sales were he gave discounts cuz his hero was inducted in hof...mj heard this saw the logo(didnt look like mjs logo) sued the guy for 10 million dollars.
@@JonDoe-fo3kl Jordan is a brand, he had every right to sue, obviously he won.
He gave 10%. And the business he sued didn’t make any money off his name, but Jordan won $8.9M in the end. Suing a small store for $10M doesn’t compare to a $100,000 donation/tax write off
@@DavidBrown-wm1xz cry me a river.
David Brown tell that company to stop stealing if mj would have done it he would be in prison so stfu
If you can’t figure out that MJ did it to help the team get better and stronger mentally then you need some serious help
snowflakes can't relate. Why I make sure to abuse my kids so they grow with mental fortitude
Far from why he played for the wizards
He punched Kerr in the face lmfao, if mj played and did that today y’all would slander him and call him a bad teammate.
Bro chill it’s not that serious
@@umarb7325 yeah I'm gonna have to call the cops on you for that one 😐
Mike's worried many who grew up in the nice words, everyone gets a trophy/ is a winner era won't understand him pushing teammates by being blunt/ in your face. Mike lived in the "it means nothing if you didn't get it done" era, this is the "at least you tried hard/ looked good doing it *gives hug*" generation.
That's a good point
Its inevitable to offend some...its a soft generation ironically the parents that did watch him play
Hahaha true
Facts. The only ones searching for apologies are the ones who have been conditioned in this soft watered down hypersensitive generation. At that time it was nothing outside the norm.
3:24
Stephen A: "Jay I completely agree with you, I don't think he should have 0 regrets either"
Me: Yeah... wait what???
I personally loved MJ's Wizards years. After watching him retire in 1994, and then 1998 again, the NBA wasn't the same without him. He saw another challenge and the greateast of all time felt he had gas left in the tank. His numbers weren't vintage but he was still phenomenal, a must watch player on a nightly basis. Look at his highlights from when he was 40 years old and compare that to stuff you see today from 20 and 30 year olds. He came back 20 lbs heavier, played forward, and was carrying the Wizards, who lets face it were terrible. He was much more cerebral. His skill set, footwork and moves were so tactical. He really had to pick his spots without the athletic ability. We all like the idea of walking in the sunset a champion, but when you are "the man in the arena" I think you need to have the game retire you and not the other way around. He should regret nothing. Leave no shots in the chamber.
He demanded the best out of his teammates that how you elevate them! Lebron is passive aggressive and people think that just because he passes more that that elevates his teammates. 6-0 or 3-9 you take your pick on which method is more successful
One of the main reason is he was on the eastern conference. Because of this system we can never say two of the best team in the final. We can only say best team win the championship. So 6 is way better than 3.
This generation cant take a no nonsense alpha dog..just look at the way the nba is now. Its what the younger folks like touchy fouls and less physical
Robert Crocker he tryin to say 3 out of 9. He should’ve said Michael was 6/6 instead of 6-0
I’m happy with either one. But I’d choose 6-0
I'd rather be Bill Russell. 11 championships.
"Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach."
MJ did. As great as any leader in our history.
Max" I was the original host of around the horn " Kellerman
Literally just posted this
Tis' true! He was for the first few years before Stat Boy Reali came around & actually made ATH even better.
Absolute PERFECTION on the BIGGEST Stage going "6-0"...Finals MVP all "6" Times...Only player in HISTORY to Win MVP/Steals Leader/Slam Dunk Contest/All star game MVP/Scoring Champion/Defensive player of Year...All in the SAME year!!!...Let this sink in folks!...Had the Look...The Swag...Was a Great Artist who used the court as his canvas and the ball as his Brush...Was so GREAT and PERFECT and SUCCESSFUL on the BIG Stage that even Old Successful White men dressed in a Suit have Jordans "Shoes" on their Feet...His Shoes were and STILL are the "Fabric" of the Sneaker Culture...Michael Jordan is the TOP of the Food Chain and his TOWERING legacy is Unattainable by another player no matter what they ever do...ICONIC as it Gets is Jordan...Not only the GOAT of the NBA but the GOAT of all Sports...This is "Michael Jordan" Speaking Folks!
joe chrow cap. lebron better
But Lebron....
@@TJaeSpeaks Lebron called himself the GOAT and when he got home his own Sons and family Laughed at him...Yikes...How Humiliating
@@wesleycarter7775 no, what you just said is cap
TJae Speaks you like 12
The whole squad was ready to comeback in the '99 lockout season for the 4 peat, and they would have destroyed the Spurs. Jerry Krause got arrogant, thought that he built the team, and thought he could build another dynasty without Jordan. So no Max, he did not leave at the "perfect time". In '98 Jordan was the leading scorer and MVP of the league. He was still the bet player in the league. They would have won in 99, battled the Lakers in 00...most likely won it, then I believe trail off as Shaq is in his prime, and Kobe is beginning his 01-02, Retire in 04 with 18.5 years in the league.
Imagine MJ looking a all of those players and teams and saying: I can still play better than all of these young guys. Why wouldn't he go out and play?
MJ shouldn’t have any regrets he proved he was the best ever. Was he the easiest guy to get along with? No. But I’d rather be a winner and dominant than a nice guy who everyone loves that lost more than he won.
Joseph Austin He was the best back then. LeBron is better though.
Having Jerry Stackhouse as a teammate
The only regret I would have if I were MJ was playing baseball for 1 year (did not play in NBA) and for those 3 seasons he was retired prematurely. Could have won at least another championship or two.
I was born in 88 and growing up we worshipped him
Isn't Jay Williams that dude that played 1 season of ball and got in a nasty accident?
Yup. That's him.
Yes had the potential to be a all around complete threat in the nba, and had played for coach k @ duke so he was a very coachable leader. He was a idiot to climb on a Ducati without a helmet and go for a ride. He wouldve probably ended up making 100 million plus in his career but had a above par rookie season and fought injuries until he couldnt get a job anywhere. Self destruction @ its finest. Smh
You got that right, from what I remember he was very inexperienced and it was an extremely fast bike. Sad story of lost potential, motorcycles can humble you real quick if you don't know what you are doing.
Him and bobby hurley crash nba over
He was beast tho I was bummed when he went down I was just a kid I still have his bobblehead
🙎🏾♂️Stephen A.”Go’ head Jay” Smith
He loved basketball...and continued to play with wizards...love of basketball is something that MJ of all people deserved to play...he gave us joy..he deserves joy also
Richard Munoz well said. I loved his wizards years. It wasn’t about winning titles. It was about the love of the game. And right after 9-11. People needed that then. But kids today have no concept of that
It is because of ESPN (the media) that people who really love Bron feel that they therefore have to hate Jordan. There is so much media bs pitting those two against each other in debates. It makes no sense. Love them both!!
It’s funny that Stephen A telling mj his own plans lmaoo
I always thought that was funny a player can say exactly what feel snd media will find a way to change it
He should regret retiring after his first 3 peat. Could have won 8 straight
Not really. It’s pretty impressive retiring for 2 years then 3 peating.
This is the clear option
No he should not,If you understand numbers you know why he retired after first 3peat. World is ridiculous place
Did he retire or was he & the NBA overwhelmed by his gambling?
Jaiden Pinnock it’s the worst kept secret that Jordan got kicked out for 2 years and the baseball thing was just cover
MJ had a. better stat lines at 39 years old than Jimmy Butler had this year. And playing at a time when points and rebounds weren’t cheap. Let that sink in.
I know. The events of 2005 have made defence impossible. Now everyone has 4 to 5 more ppg than they should. Players from the 80s and 90s would slaughter the current iteration of the nba. No wonder viewership has been going down steadily. I stopped watching regularly after 2014. Started watching again in 2019. 2015 to 2018 wasnt that exciting to watch. Not even the 2016 finals. Not after gsw defence got expelled from the series. Which was complete bs. Otherwise gsw should have won in 5.
@@JKTProductionzIncNCo thats a lie. the reason they nba decided to make the game faster was because nba rating were down. nobody wanted to watch 77- 86 nba scores anymore. ratings use to be in the toilet when the spurs and pistons use to be the dominate teams
Would've won in 1989, had they gotten past the Pistons. it would've started the Dynasty a year early. Possibly 1994, 1995 but missing those years are fine, MJ & The Bulls needed a breather. 1999,2000 had they stayed together - 5 legit titles they could've won. All together 5 championship possibilities strictly as a Chicago Bull.
Just stop
Maybe 99, but beyond that is very unlikely, but I appreciate you.calling them chances rather than just assuming they'd win them all. I do think he could've gotten at least 1 possibly 2 more, but it just doesn't matter. What he DID do already makes him in my mind leaps and bounds the greatest ever.
Young Blood if, would’ve.....
Hey Jay spoke that from the heart . To me that was pretty chilling
The way Jordan acted is the way the greatest ever plays
Jordan doesn't owe an explanation to anyone, let alone Max Kellerman. Let the GOAT do what he chooses.
MJ was in a time where "Winner Takes All". These days it's "Winner-Must-Share".
U tell me a 30 + player can avg 20 pts & scored 40 pts @ 40 years off
Role players lucky if average 15 entire Career Career
How do they know he has regrets? Did he say it to them. Nope.
I hope this docu series will show the other side of him that the media doesn't worship or talk about. Like how a horrible person and teammate he was at times
Retiring the first time has to come up in his mind from time to time
Me and Michael Jordan were close friends during that time and we are still close til this day. He had personal reasons on why he retired the first time.
Jordan greatest Athlete ever after Ali
The absolute best there ever was. "Regrets?" Very interesting subject matter. This is what happens when you have "news" 24/7.
Plus his last season with wizards he was able to do his farewell tour...
He should have never retired in 98..should have went on to atleast 2000
The one week espn is making me feel happy!
Simply the Best. MJ23 all wanna be like him, none dare to really truly believe they can ever be better than him.
The Wizards run sucked but that 2003 All Star game with his last second shot was tight. Until they called that stupid foul.
Jermaine O'neal ruined that moment by committing the foul. Couldn't stand Jermaine O'neal after that lol.
@@dev30 Haha....I felt the same way about J. O'Neal after that too.
I think the NBA has done an exceptional job in burying the gambling noise & other things surrounding is fathers passing & him “walking” away from the game. Strictly talking about the game and on the court, he’s one of the greatest, off the court though, it’s shakey
Only regret I can see from this is retiring in his physical prime after his 93 season. The Bulls still topped the East without him those years, he could've easily gotten 8 if he wanted.
MJ has had one of the greatest POST playing careers of any athlete ever BY FAR!
$2.1B net worth and climbing..
Magic is at $600M next closest (BBall)
Tiger is at $800M next closest (all sports)
Usman Chaudhry floyd
@@J.J.Redick Floyd is in the $500-$700M range...over 66% behind MJs $2.1B......most of Floyds money is from fighting and not made during retirement POST CAREER.....Floyd's done fighting so he's not catching MJ as MJs investments will likely increase in value quicker
Usman Chaudhry why are you so infatuated with their money
and you don’t know what their true net worth is or how much they have
Thank you guys for letting us know the greatest player of all time should have no regrets about his career ..... Where would we be without these guys to tell us that
When you look at Jordans stats with the wizards and realize how good those stats really are, it's pretty crazy
Check the stats Mj was still balling on the wizards
I always wonder if Jordan would be looked at differently if social media was around in his era
That era was more no nonsense...its more of a "pc" era now
ESPN is really struggling when they have to make a segment saying “Michael Jordan was very good”
No one speak about MJ better than Stephen a & skip bayless
Well said Jay. ✌
With Bulls, 12 seasons/6 chips.. Game winning shot in NBA Finals to end career. Playing for the Wizards just for fun 3 years after retirement is the only regret he should have cuz it gives fanboys a farfetched reason to discredit his Goat status.
Max your wrong again only regret I can say he had was retiring when the bulls could of won 8 straight when his dad died
Tbf if he had played fully from 1984 to 2004. He would not have been 20 lbs heavier in 03 which led to his injury. He may have been 9-0 from 91 to 99. Or 6-3 or anywhere in between. Hard to say how his 2000 to 2002 years would have gone. But even if he was 7-2-9 in the finals and played 20 years like kobe; his stats would have been ridicolous. He would be 42K+ in points. All time steals leader. Probably 31-32 ppg for his career average. The only reason these things are a debate bc people are comparing someone who has been playing for 17 full seasons vs someone who only played 11 full seasons. 3+4=7 total mvps vs 6+5=11 total mvps. 7 for 17 vs 11 for 11. While doing all of this in a significantly tougher era with much less help. Lebron has never won a chip without a superteam. MJ won his first chip by defeating the showtime lakers. The greatest laker team ever. Also the 2nd greatest superteam in nba history and the dynasty team of the 80s. But people who havent bothered actually watching the old games wouldnt understand. The lates 50s to the 60s was the first golden age of nba. The second one was from 1978 to 2004. But since 2014 it has been slowly improving. Hopefully the 2020s will be bettwr than 2005 to 2013 and 2014 to 2018.
First take is ten times better than undisputed when it comes to MJ and lebron
MAX SAID IT!
The🐐
What about MJ playing baseball during his prime? No one mentioned this?
I mean he retired the Greatest athlete of all time, how can you regret something like that?
i regret that jordan retired originally, because there's not a doubt in my mind, they would have won a 8 peat
Whether its sports or a job or just in life if you work hard and demand it from other its gonna rub some people the wrong way no matter what but thats what it takes to be great
BIG FACTS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even if you want to go with the actual timeline with the Wizards - Jordan & The Wizards would've made the finals in 2002. So not including the hypothetical return in 1999 & 2000, you have 1989 if they got past the Pistons. 1994, 1995 & 2002. 4 highly plausible finals appearances.
well it didn't happen
Retiring early after the first three peat and the wizards stint.
Y’all better stop talking about MJ so much, LeBrons gonna get jealous soon & make some attention seeking post or video soon
Hunter 💯💯
Yep!
Hunter facts!!!!!!!!
i mean lebron just keeps on getting greater. he just won a chip so i dont think lbj would get jealous
When he played the Wizards he was balling idk what Max talking about I watched the games
Should regret not playing the 3 seasons that he missed out on after the 98 finals. Those were still prime years.
Jay Williams is spot on about MJ’s philanthropic side. It’s easy to google and see that he was giving from the 80s. He’s given huge amounts of money during his career and post career but he’s done it with little fan fare especially before social media.
Did Molly just COUGHED???? 4:11
Well said Jay Will
i used to think about why he did what he did..and at time not understand,,, now im adult and ecant play anymore, and i get it all! he loved the game .. he was on top.. tragedy... he wanted play baseball , he knew he could so he went for it..then he realize still love the game,, and head clear and ready to return! the wizards was again he loved the game ..he wanted play while still able .so he did... it doesnt tarnish what he did, it only makes him more likeable that he was just having fun.. not worried about legacy...and it makes for a more interesting time line of his life ..
4:11 OMG
Best player to ever play the game MJ all day everyday
The last comeback was a favor to David Stern and Ab Pollin. The league at the time ratings were down because Jordan’s retirement and other factors. A promise was made that ownership would be given to Mike but Ab Pollin pulled back in the agreement that’s why Micheal was seen driving off furious.
Gotta link for the vid of him driving off?
Providing articles right now looking for videos
I would love for Max to make a one day return to host Around the Horn.
Cmon man he was like 80yrs when he played for the Wizards
Straight facts Jay W
GOAT yesterday, GOAT today and GOAT FOREVER!!!
Kobe once told a new young player when the kid tried to say hello "you don't have enough accolades to talk to me yet". It sounds cold! But great players know that they're going to be very hard on their teammates until they get it right! So don't try to be his friend yet cause you might not like him.
I wish I could find the video where he said it, but I think I heard MJ say he had one regret over wondering if they could've remained perfect in the Finals. As long as the core stayed together with Phil, I think Jordan would've preferred to have kept playing until they couldn't reach the finals anymore or finally got beat.
The man almost or if not single handedly dominated and changed a whole era of basketball how would u expect someone like that to behave
Lebron, mj, LeBron mj, LeBron mj, that's all these fools talk about when they're bored LOL
Sick of it myself
Ron Artest broke his ribs with the Wizards
The documentary didn't even start, I don't get what we're even supposed to be offended about.
The only reason he came back was because he got tired of seeing the Washington wizard get the sh!t beat out of them every night
Max "Original Host of Around The Horn" Kellerman since Apr 2020
He said years ago he wished they could have played together until someone took them out. They disbanded after the second 3 peat. No one ever dethroned them.
3:00 Jay Williams throwing shade at a certain someone who boasts about his "charities" lol
