They ain’t ready for those facts. The very least he wins 7 and his stats are a lot higher. Plus more all stars and 1st teams with scoring titles etc. See people like to say no we go off what’s there. Bs bc this truth shows the even more potential he had. Also you don’t count on injuries with a man who never had them plus played through shit players today would sit for less. Hell they already sit out just bc or rest is the excuses. We all know his mentality too. He likes to play ball, he was competitive in everything, and he like others back then respected the fans who showed up to watch them play. He knew someone in the crowd might only have one chance to watch their game live. They also knew the privilege they had to play a GAME and earn money
He played 82 games until he couldn't play anymore. Plus, the last yr he played, they were in playoff hunt until Mike got hurt, and they went on a losing streak and didn't make the playoffs. The team wasn't that good but Mike push the players to play better that's a leader.
ON BOTH ENDS OF THE FLOOR!!!!!! The biggest reason wizards MJ gets overlooked is cause he was so ridiculously elite that his wizards time seemed irrelevant
The one you didn't know was Latrell Sprewell. Also Jordan's years in Washington he basically played on one leg his knee was torched. He started with the Wizards at 38, and played as a 40yr old.
One leg and nine fingers, his dominant index finger got cut while cutting cubans and remind straight with little flexibility after that while he was retired before playing with Wizards.

Ppl always talk about Jordan's wizards days like he was terrible but he was actually torching the league and carrying the garbage wizards before injury and was on track to bring them to the playoffs at age 40. There r even interviews of pros from that era.
Now you get to see a large part of the reason why Jordan developed that mid-range game. When your athleticism starts to fail you, those fundamentals won't! Jordan was the definition of "a bucket" bro. He was unguardable even at this age.
@@broshawnjackson154 He did, but it wasnt as polished yet. Also notice the stroke of his shot, totally different from college against 90's MJ. He was developing just about everything in his game.
The fact that they retired MJ’s jersey, in other arenas that he did not play for should tell you that him, and LeBron is not on the same level. His jersey is retired in Chicago with a statue, charlotte, Washington and Miami which is why Lebron could not wear 23 in Miami
I didn't know Pat gave paid that tribute after the goat torched them for years. This organisation is the real one. No wonder they have the love for Jimmy like that. I have the utmost respect for them. Really hope they win one with Jimmy.
what will eventually happen is: Lebron will buy the Bulls, move the team to Vegas and leave that statue there in Chicago as a reminder as Jordan being 2nd greatest scorer of all time.
4:40 his 2 years in Washington he was 39 and 40. And he played all 82 games one year with broken ribs and bum knees. He was having to get his knees v drained every couple days

@@devontewilson151Your comment reminds me of the reason why I should never argue with Lebron's fans about that "GOAT" conversation. You guys don't know and understand anything. 😂
Jordan played well despite his age, playing in all 82 games during the 2002-03 season at age 40. He averaged 20 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.5 steals per game. He also became the only 40-year-old in NBA history to score over 40 points in a game multiple times.
Shooting it 22 & 18 shots per game. 22 shots making 41% is not a good thing so let's stop glorifying his wizard years when we have a guy the same age with way better stats. LeBron is shooting above 41% from the 3 lol. Not to mention 4 straight Triple doubles
@@devontewilson151 You can't compare the league in the early 2000s to the current one. Pretty much 2 different sports. Teams were averaging 95.5 and 95.1ppg in those years, they are averaging 113ppg now. Plus, to say Jordan wasn't healthy would be an understatement. He was battling tendinitis on both knees and on his right wrist, his index finger was screwed up after he nearly severed it off in 1999 and he torn his meniscus mid season in 2002. Before the meniscus tear, he was actually outscoring a prime Tmac. In 2002/03, he had to constantly get his knee drained so he could play and somehow still played all 82 games.

There was many facets of Jordans game that had diminished from his time off but the one thing that was always elite was his fadeaway. In his 2 years with the Wizards he shot 142- 174 or 81% for his fadeaways.
Watched Jordan at all 3 stages of his career. At 38-40 stage, he was the wise old owl. Championship bulls Jordan was the complete player. Young Jordan was a human cat . The young Jordan is the greatest player ever. Pure brilliance and total entertainment. WOW!

He was giving them buckets at 40 and on one good leg. They had to force him to not play or have any restrictions. Didn’t matter his age (even early in his career) he always played all out and gave max effort. He’ll always be the real goat yo
Good reaction. It's good to see a young man taking time to learn some of the history of the game. Here is the link to the actual Underrated Wizards Years video.

Bruh ppl say mj was washed but on the wizards he avg 22 ppg at 40 and as we all see was giving out work with that fadeaway mid range 😂😂unstoppable like Kareem hook shot 😂😂
Idk if anyone else said this keep in mind they drained his knee his finally 1-2 years every week 2-3 times a week. The report of one time a week isn’t correct. Stories have come out his knee would sweep to size of a melon. Still played all 82 games unlike todays players who are great
38-40 years old bruh. This was 3 years after he retired the second time. He retired at 35 and to help the nba with ratings he came back and played on a hurt leg. Fundamentally sound never gets old
LeBron is the same age. Now you see why we fight for him so hard. I'm from Chicago so I had the pleasure of meeting him due to his teammate married my sorority sister/friend. I don't remember the wedding😂
If Mike never retired early all his records would be unbreakable for many years. I would still take 40 year old MJ over 40 year old Lebron. Any day! By the way, what number does LeBron wear? 23. He wants to be like Mike.
When MJ came back to play for the Wiz, it was very very noticeable that he had lost a step. And while I wanted him to keep his untouchable legacy, I just told myself to be thankful that we get to see him play again, no matter how far it was from what we remembered of him in his Bulls days. On nights where he had energy and felt good, he was still incredible. Before injuring his knee he was averaging 26 ppg.
Latrell Sprewell and Shareef Abdur Rahim My man’s out here saying all these names like he saw them at their best and knows their best, but don’t know Latrell and Sharif 😂 😜 you a rookie champ
Bro, appreciate you giving it a chance and seeing what people really mean with this Jordan 🐐 talk. Jordans stuff was unreal... but so is Bron. I request a Lebron GOAT highlight reaction. Which ever one you think shows his best...
LeBron James in his Miami years he would get beat 30 times in row 1 vs 1 against Micheal Beasley but a 50 year old retired Micheal Jordan gave Beasley that work but no one wants to talk about that
His numbers were great on offensive side, but the most impressive thing for me was his defensive intensity and tireless effort. Everyone gravitated toward MJ back in the day because of this. He never cheated the game, played hard both side of the ball every night.
MJ was 38 the start of his first year and 4 months into the season he turned 39. Needless to say buy the end of his second season MJ was 40yrs 5 months old.
Jordan was 35 years old when he won his last title with the Bulls in 1998. When he played with the Wizards, he started when he was 38 and then finally retired at the end of his second season at the age of 40.
Jordan is so great, Kobe (RIP) mirrored all of his moves and became great too. Ain’t nobody mirroring Lebron’s flops and becoming great. Jordan IS the G.O.A.T.
One season he averaged 3.2 , years he averaged 2.9 And another year 2.8 he also had 7 yrs where he averaged over 30 points 37.1 being his highest he also averaged 35, 33 twice 32 ,31,&30 he had a stretch where he 10 triple doubles in 11 games the man was a beast
Bro, when i watched jordan and shaq, i learned how to have a post up game because i loved their foot work. What was crazy is that i was 18 years old then. I was 5'9, 160 and i was a legit floor general type PG, but grew into playing/defending post. I mever played school type ball, but i was an organized street baller 😂
MJ played between 38-40 for the Wizards. He was injury riddled and coming out of the Executive seat for two years and suited up for basketball. In his first season he was slowly getting back into shape and his numbers reflected that, I believe he was on pace to get really close to his 98 bulls numbers before suffering a knee injury. You should watch Michael Jordan's underrated years as a wizard here on RUclips by Jonny Arnett, it's a great video.
the best part is his game is 100% skill. None of these ugla *ss drives you see today where people are awkwardly stumbling into the defenders chest and dragging their feet around and throwing up some awkward garbage in hopes of a foul call. No trying to run people over and get cheap contact. No bs 8' step back jumpers. No sitting in the corner and waiting for someone to create an easy shot for you. Jordan was just pure in your face, 1 v1, basketball artistry.
He's 40 in these clips! With a bum knee. If his knee was right, there would've been more problems. He retired the year before LeBron was drafted. There is video of LeBron and Jordan playing together on the same squad.🤯😳😳 They would've been unstoppable together.
2001-02 season he turned 39 years old in februari 2002. and he turned 40 yrs old in feb 2003, his 2nd and last season with Washington so 39 and 40 yrs old during his Wizards years...
And this is y weather u like em or not we really need to appreciate what LeBron is doing right now. Not comparing the 2 by no means but we gonna miss watching Bron play when hes gone just like this.
If Jordan had played at his Wizards level his entire career he'd STILL be one of the best ever, with double digit All-Star selections. That tells you just how high his peak was.
Jordan was about 38 and played with the wizards for 2 seasons in which most was greatful just to see him play again and he put up a couple of 50 point games with them too and he retired at 35 in 98
Someone may have already said this, but let me put the Wizards years in context. That first year, Jordan was out of shape, playing on a bad knee, had problems with his shooting hand and had his ribs broken by Ron Artest over that summer. During that first year of the Wizards stint, he was averaging 25 ppg and was close to 30 ppg for that stretch before injuring his knee, getting surgery and having to shut it down. I would really liked to have seen Wizards Jordan in his 1998 shape.
Look up unseen Jordan dunk contest. In 1999 after he retired from the Bulls he dunked from behind the free throw line. He was 36 or 37 when he did that.
Still incomparable to labron Except th later part when he got injury and need to fully retire! at 40 no excuses not to play defense! Jordan is the blue print of hardwork and competetivenes!! Dude 35yrs he as still ballin for his 2nd 3peats😂😂😂
Lebron was 35 in 2020. 1st team all nba, led the league in assists, 2nd in mvp voting, championship and finals mvp. At their later ages jordan is nowhere near lebron
Ask yourself a question if the dudes in the past were plumbers, teachers etc and todays athletes are in so much better condition ...why all of the load management? what your generation calls more skilled is not accurate take a look at the lack of defense being played, the wide open lanes the lack of post up moves, Adam Silver has gutted the game and turned it into a shell of what the NBA use to be. This is coming from a fan since 1989 and I do understand that Lebron is what you guys know but Jordan was the greatest I had saw as well but we as a generation understood Magic, Bird, Kareem, Oscar, Russel and many others were on that list without the disrespect of calling those guys who paved the way plumbers and shit. You young guys sit on the shoulders of generations that came before you as my generation sat on the shoulders of those who came before us. Just food for thought, keep educating yourself :)
He averaged 22.3pp 6Reb and 5Ast in 2001 and 20PPG 6Reb and 4 Ast in 2002 after not playing for 4 years. On two bum ass knees after having surgery, he was still busting everybodies ass. So he basically accheived all of his career accolades wihile missing six seasons total 2 of which were right in the Middle of his prime when he was only 29& 30. Imagine he very possibly would and I think have had a 3 peat in the 1st half and instead of only another 3 peat got 5 consecutive Rings in the 2nd half of his Bulls Career. Thats why he is and will forever be the 🐐 and its not even close or up for debate...
MJ was playing on a bad knee all season i believe he had minor surgery before the season he actually needed his meniscus to be worked on but opted for minor surgery so he could go on to play all 82 games he was basically on one good knee...digging the content 👌
Do remember that in 2001 scientific rehab like it is today was barely a thing. Data led rehab was barely a thing. Advanced recovery didn’t exist. So if Mike had access to what Bron has had for a decade - Mike would have had the exact same longevity and bounce, if not more than Bron.
Keep in mind these highlights are all in traffic, everyone not standing out on the 3pt line
Lebrons highlights at 38,39 and 40 gonna be poster dunks and Magic Johnson style passes

LeBron is the same age. Now you see why we fight for him so hard. I'm from Chicago so I had the pleasure of meeting him due to his teammate married my sorority sister/friend. I don't remember the wedding😂
That's why LeBron wore #6 in Miami!
If Mike never retired early all his records would be unbreakable for many years. I would still take 40 year old MJ over 40 year old Lebron. Any day! By the way, what number does LeBron wear? 23. He wants to be like Mike.
Michael Jordan retired in 1998 and left for another two years, the man retired twice. It’s crazy how great he was.
When MJ came back to play for the Wiz, it was very very noticeable that he had lost a step. And while I wanted him to keep his untouchable legacy, I just told myself to be thankful that we get to see him play again, no matter how far it was from what we remembered of him in his Bulls days. On nights where he had energy and felt good, he was still incredible. Before injuring his knee he was averaging 26 ppg.
Latrell Sprewell and Shareef Abdur Rahim
My man’s out here saying all these names like he saw them at their best and knows their best, but don’t know Latrell and Sharif 😂 😜 you a rookie champ
You da damn GOAT when your opposition tells their players forever, that nobody will wear 23. 🤫🐐#MJGOAT
And he donated his whole paycheck each season he played for the Washington wizards to survives of nine eleven!!!!!
Bro, appreciate you giving it a chance and seeing what people really mean with this Jordan 🐐 talk. Jordans stuff was unreal... but so is Bron. I request a Lebron GOAT highlight reaction. Which ever one you think shows his best...
LeBron James in his Miami years he would get beat 30 times in row 1 vs 1 against Micheal Beasley but a 50 year old retired Micheal Jordan gave Beasley that work but no one wants to talk about that
@@WyakeeDouglas dude beasley himself said in an interview that it wasn't even true
@sportstalkonly1442 keep lying to yourself cuz everyone beats LeBron 1 vs 1 he is so overrated
Bro Lefraud ain't in this mans league, period!!! Sorry y'all missed it!!! 😮😮😮
His numbers were great on offensive side, but the most impressive thing for me was his defensive intensity and tireless effort. Everyone gravitated toward MJ back in the day because of this. He never cheated the game, played hard both side of the ball every night.
MJ was 38 the start of his first year and 4 months into the season he turned 39. Needless to say buy the end of his second season MJ was 40yrs 5 months old.
Mid range assassin to the end
Jordan was 35 years old when he won his last title with the Bulls in 1998. When he played with the Wizards, he started when he was 38 and then finally retired at the end of his second season at the age of 40.
This is the 3rd video of yours ive watched, so I figured its time to give you a sub
the guys you didnt recognize were latrell sprewell and shareef abdur-rahim.
The fact you didn’t know a lot of these(Great) players shows just how much much farther you have to go and much much more reasearch to do!!
I was 9 years old then and in live with 2k used wizards a lot lol MJ was a factor even at that age
He is the man !!
gotta remember this is jordan after 3 years off bad knee started with wizards at 38 and was definitely the best skilled post player
Jordan is so great, Kobe (RIP) mirrored all of his moves and became great too.
Ain’t nobody mirroring Lebron’s flops and becoming great.
Jordan IS the G.O.A.T.
I appreciate the love you have for the game 💯
One season he averaged 3.2 , years he averaged 2.9 And another year 2.8 he also had 7 yrs where he averaged over 30 points 37.1 being his highest he also averaged 35, 33 twice 32 ,31,&30 he had a stretch where he 10 triple doubles in 11 games the man was a beast
Now go find the videos of him at 50 lol... still giving folks the business
Riley respected Jordan even though he never played for the Heat. He respected Jordan enough so no player on the Heat would never wear #23. 😏
Bro, when i watched jordan and shaq, i learned how to have a post up game because i loved their foot work. What was crazy is that i was 18 years old then. I was 5'9, 160 and i was a legit floor general type PG, but grew into playing/defending post. I mever played school type ball, but i was an organized street baller 😂
Can you check out the game where Michael Jordan was on the Washington wizards and score 51 points
MJ played between 38-40 for the Wizards. He was injury riddled and coming out of the Executive seat for two years and suited up for basketball. In his first season he was slowly getting back into shape and his numbers reflected that, I believe he was on pace to get really close to his 98 bulls numbers before suffering a knee injury.
You should watch Michael Jordan's underrated years as a wizard here on RUclips by Jonny Arnett, it's a great video.
We need to do a lebron lakers years vs Mj wizard years play for play. Would love to see it as a fan 😊
the best part is his game is 100% skill. None of these ugla *ss drives you see today where people are awkwardly stumbling into the defenders chest and dragging their feet around and throwing up some awkward garbage in hopes of a foul call. No trying to run people over and get cheap contact. No bs 8' step back jumpers. No sitting in the corner and waiting for someone to create an easy shot for you. Jordan was just pure in your face, 1 v1, basketball artistry.
💯
He's 40 in these clips! With a bum knee. If his knee was right, there would've been more problems. He retired the year before LeBron was drafted. There is video of LeBron and Jordan playing together on the same squad.🤯😳😳 They would've been unstoppable together.
No LEFRAUD would have screwed that up!!!
Ahmm noo jordan dont need a choker one please not that level,He wasbt chasing anymore he is already cemented as a goat .
Jordan was 38-40 when he played with the wizards. His fist year back he was steadily getn better until the knee injury.
2001-02 season he turned 39 years old in februari 2002. and he turned 40 yrs old in feb 2003, his 2nd and last season with Washington so 39 and 40 yrs old during his Wizards years...
The dude on the knicks who you werent sure who that was is Latrell Sprewell. He was a stud
Yeah, some of that he was 40. Gives new meaning to the phrase, *_"You old goat"._*
with bad knees
🏀's 🐐 .
And this is y weather u like em or not we really need to appreciate what LeBron is doing right now. Not comparing the 2 by no means but we gonna miss watching Bron play when hes gone just like this.
LeChoke James age currently isn't close to what Jordan was even in Washington
Yea. He's not close to as garbage as jordan was.
@@sportstalkonly1442 Lebron plays no D and stat pads so idk what you're thinking
If Jordan had played at his Wizards level his entire career he'd STILL be one of the best ever, with double digit All-Star selections. That tells you just how high his peak was.
He snapped out on The bobcats at 50 with the 2nd team vs the starters 😳 Gilley the kid was shocked steven jackson vs 50 year old Mike the team owner 😮
Jordan was about 38 and played with the wizards for 2 seasons in which most was greatful just to see him play again and he put up a couple of 50 point games with them too and he retired at 35 in 98
Someone may have already said this, but let me put the Wizards years in context.
That first year, Jordan was out of shape, playing on a bad knee, had problems with his shooting hand and had his ribs broken by Ron Artest over that summer. During that first year of the Wizards stint, he was averaging 25 ppg and was close to 30 ppg for that stretch before injuring his knee, getting surgery and having to shut it down. I would really liked to have seen Wizards Jordan in his 1998 shape.
Look up unseen Jordan dunk contest. In 1999 after he retired from the Bulls he dunked from behind the free throw line. He was 36 or 37 when he did that.
Bro jordan was 35 or 36 when he won the last finals
Still incomparable to labron Except th later part when he got injury and need to fully retire! at 40 no excuses not to play defense! Jordan is the blue print of hardwork and competetivenes!! Dude 35yrs he as still ballin for his 2nd 3peats😂😂😂
Lebron was 35 in 2020. 1st team all nba, led the league in assists, 2nd in mvp voting, championship and finals mvp. At their later ages jordan is nowhere near lebron
@@sportstalkonly1442 at 35 mj was better than prime Shaq in 98. 2020 Lebron is not better than 98 Shaq to put it in perspective
Labron worshipper shut up your fraud king is a choker😂
2:46 Latrell Sprewell
Please react to him
Spinning Rims guy Latrell Sprewell Im getting old 😂😂
Wizards era Jordan was my favorite. He obviously lost a step and a little bounce, but he still played tough d and his fundamentals were on point.
Ask yourself a question if the dudes in the past were plumbers, teachers etc and todays athletes are in so much better condition ...why all of the load management? what your generation calls more skilled is not accurate take a look at the lack of defense being played, the wide open lanes the lack of post up moves, Adam Silver has gutted the game and turned it into a shell of what the NBA use to be. This is coming from a fan since 1989 and I do understand that Lebron is what you guys know but Jordan was the greatest I had saw as well but we as a generation understood Magic, Bird, Kareem, Oscar, Russel and many others were on that list without the disrespect of calling those guys who paved the way plumbers and shit. You young guys sit on the shoulders of generations that came before you as my generation sat on the shoulders of those who came before us. Just food for thought, keep educating yourself :)
He averaged 22.3pp 6Reb and 5Ast in 2001 and 20PPG 6Reb and 4 Ast in 2002 after not playing for 4 years. On two bum ass knees after having surgery, he was still busting everybodies ass. So he basically accheived all of his career accolades wihile missing six seasons total 2 of which were right in the Middle of his prime when he was only 29& 30. Imagine he very possibly would and I think have had a 3 peat in the 1st half and instead of only another 3 peat got 5 consecutive Rings in the 2nd half of his Bulls Career. Thats why he is and will forever be the 🐐 and its not even close or up for debate...
35 years old Jordan had the best season EVER Look it up!!!! He was 38-40 in the wizard years
noice vids. larry bird highlights are pretty crazy too.
Mj played 2 years for Wizards... He was 38 and 39. last season he played 82 games
MJ was playing on a bad knee all season i believe he had minor surgery before the season he actually needed his meniscus to be worked on but opted for minor surgery so he could go on to play all 82 games he was basically on one good knee...digging the content 👌
That New York Knick player you didn't know the name of was Latrell Sprewell my guy! You should look him up, you won't be disappointed. 💯
He was back from years retired in a wizards uniform..
He was 38-40 and playing with 1 busted knee, still playing 82 games in his last season, scored 51 & 45 in back to back games!
And was trash
@sportstalkonly1442 clueless comments, go learn basketball history and stop trolling.
Do remember that in 2001 scientific rehab like it is today was barely a thing. Data led rehab was barely a thing. Advanced recovery didn’t exist.
So if Mike had access to what Bron has had for a decade - Mike would have had the exact same longevity and bounce, if not more than Bron.
but he didn't. so the ifs don't matter
