There's a clip on RUclips where Kobe talked about the time he guarded Jordan during their first matchup. Kobe was guarding Jordan out on the baseline. Kobe said Jordan spun and drove the ball to the rim for a layup or dunk (can't remember which). Kobe said MJ moved so fast that he didn't even have time to react. Kobe said he knew the move was coming, as he had seen it so many times on TV. But to Shannon's point. It's one thing to see it on tv, but it's another to witness it up close and personal.

MJ to the mid/low post 11 straight possessions, 11 straight buckets. Game over. If Ja got the ball, he would get it snatched. There's a reason jordan and pippen were called the Doberman defense

@@coreymelo5962 I was just about to mention Clyde Drexler. I though everybody knew about what he did to Clyde and the Blazers, in the Finals no less. But I guess young Mr, Marsh just started watching NBA basketball. Less notable that those two though are Jerry Stackhouse and Isiah Rider. We could literally play the "players MJ abused" game all day, but maybe Wayne should just take your advice.
@@coreymelo5962 😂😂😂...is that all you got!? Magic was a pass first point guard and I'll give you Clyde he was nice. Now let's see who the real 🐐 was asked to defend at one time or another. Not only some of NBA's best guards but also some of NBA's best power forwards...kobe, dirk, Carmelo, Duncan, Pierce, harden, Steph, Giannis, Garnett, Carter, Durant, George, kawhi, DeRozan, Johnson, Westbrook, Iverson, wade, Paul, Aldridge. I believe about 18 of them on top 50 all time scoring list. Stop playing with me 🤡! You live in nostalgia land where Jordans era was better at everything but the numbers dont bear that out.
@@metaphoria3 Kobe backed it up though. Kobe was cocky but he earned MJs respect. What has Ja done to be this cocky. First they take jabs at Curry, Klay and the Warriors who whooped them now he taking shots at MJ. Who this kid thinks he is? One playoff victory? That's literally it. Kid needs to sit down.

Jordan was bigger. Jordans a better defender. Jordan in his prime was just as athletic and explosive. Jordan had better post moves, jump shot. Jordan beats him in almost every area.
@@julian2238 There's absolutely no proof Jordan had a 48 inch vertical. Also, Jordan would lose. Jordan had trouble against Jeff Malone and an old Larry Bird.
The nascar reference is so true. I’ve taken 4ppl that had never been to a nascar event to their first race and the first thing all of them said was they had no idea it was that wild in person
MJ would avg at least 35 in today’s nba lol. MJ is number 1 on most peoples NBA list for a reason, this from a Lebron fan. Also didn’t they almost lose to Ant and the Wolves. 🤦🏾♂️
I love Ja's confidence. He has been one of my favorite players since he was drafted. However, SLOW. IT. DOWN. youngin. Ja is 22, not in his prime, but Jordan at 22 would hurt Ja's feelings. STOP the madness 😂😂
@@mbayadji You know who else had better numbers than Jordan at that age, and also was jumping high, explosive type of players? Derrick Rose and Russel Westbrook.
@@mbayadji And just like D Rose, Ja alread has knee problems and missed 20 games last season. Look i want Ja all the best, but fact is many players had better stats than MJ at his age, he wasnt special at all at 21, but what he became later was pure magic. So we gotta wait a bit, but my bet is Ja destroys his knees because, well, pure physics...
@@mbayadji Hope youre right, dont want noone to get hurt ofcourse... BTW i just compared stats between MJ and JA... MJ at 21 averaged 28 ppg on over 50% shooting, while Ja had 17 ppg on 45% shooting. MJ missed nearly whole 2nd season so thats not for comparison, but 3rd year dude averaged 37 ppg... Yeah even in stats its not for comparison, lets quit BSing.
It was a carry. His hand was all the way under the ball. When Mike saw that, he went for the ball because it was an easy steal. Then he continued his dribble.
Ask Corey B what happened when he called Jordan out for a 1 on 1. I'll quote one line from Jordan during that match "Look around....look at all the championship banners" LMFAO!
When it comes to MJ the whole era thing really doesn't hold water imo, simply because MJ was essentially today's NBA player playing in that era, so any one of today's players would still have a difficult time vs MJ as if anything, MJ today would have access to the same fitness, health and training facilities and technologies making him even more a beast.
He sat on the sideline being a cheerleader while watching his team being eliminated. He looked pretty healthy and ready to play from what I seen, just saying 🤗
don’t forget about MJ’s defense. a lot of people sleep on this stat… “Jordan led the league in steals a record three times. Though he was the most dominant scorer of all time with the highest career scoring average ever, he was also dominant defensively. The guard blocked more shots than any guard ever and also stole it 2,515 times in only 1,072 games.”
This reminds me of when I was a young man in the military and I bucked up to my 6’5 drill Sargent ,and he didn’t finch,he just looked me dead in the eye with a stare that would chill ice and calmly said…..”I’ll f**k you up boy” lol
@@prodbyjuneg I eventually redeemed myself, became his favorite recruit, and became a fine young man.I didn’t have a father and he was the first “real” man I ran into, and I’ll never forget him. His name was Hercules….and that was his real actual name lol
That’s just absolutely ridiculous Everyone knows todays nba has never been easier to score, the defense is non existent in todays nba, Jordans era was way more physical, he wouldn’t last in MJ’s era with that slender frame
The 80’s NBA scored just as much as they do now and they weren’t even shooting threes. Defense didn’t become great until the mid-late 90’s. Let’s stop with the nostalgia. Damon near everyone was skinny back then too.
Ja struggled to get past the son of the player who’s dad was one of the greatest defensive players ever who struggled to keep Jordan under 30 while doubling him. ja probably wouldn’t score
Big difference between confidence and delusion. You're going to cook the goat 10 times scoring champ, 9 times defensive 1st team, and dpoy. I like Ja besides the suspect dancing and bravado
Just think about MJ down by 1 on the road in Utah 1998 game 6 nba finals under 10 seconds left, breaks the defenders fkn ankles makes him fall before winning the championship. Ja morant is crazy
First off, Steph is easily one of the hardest to guard players in the history of any sport ever. Second of all, I am under the opinion that the Grizzlies would have won if Ja didn't get injured. They had no answer. He was easily the best in that series before he got injured.
You’re right but your reasoning is wrong. When ja got to play against the warriors he dropped at least 34 points a game while shooting 45% from the field at the very least. So it has nothing to do with steph. Cause clearly steph ain’t guarding any elite offense player, and I doubt steph ever actually spent a significant amount of time on ball guarding ja
Clyde Drexler. Kobe. Look who guarded MJ. Every stud in that NBA era. And we are including Magic to Bird to Charles Barkley. MJ might be the most unguardable player in world wide history.
Like Draymond said on JJ Reddick podcast "Ja doesn't understand that the media will be expecting the Grizzlies win a lot plus the Western conference knows how they play now"
First he says: “I just felt like if I won a championship, I wouldn't think about no other team or what somebody said months ago,” and then he compares himself to Jordan? He doesn’t know the FIRST THING about Jordan.
Listen to The Skip Bayless Show podcast: sprtspod.fox/SkipBaylessShowPodcast
I totally agree with Ja as long as MJ Will not be allowed to hand check
Wow Shannon!!! I am a fan however Ja shook every Guard Including Steph this season just watch the vids

@@coreymelo5962 I was just about to mention Clyde Drexler. I though everybody knew about what he did to Clyde and the Blazers, in the Finals no less. But I guess young Mr, Marsh just started watching NBA basketball. Less notable that those two though are Jerry Stackhouse and Isiah Rider. We could literally play the "players MJ abused" game all day, but maybe Wayne should just take your advice.
@@coreymelo5962 😂😂😂...is that all you got!? Magic was a pass first point guard and I'll give you Clyde he was nice. Now let's see who the real 🐐 was asked to defend at one time or another. Not only some of NBA's best guards but also some of NBA's best power forwards...kobe, dirk, Carmelo, Duncan, Pierce, harden, Steph, Giannis, Garnett, Carter, Durant, George, kawhi, DeRozan, Johnson, Westbrook, Iverson, wade, Paul, Aldridge. I believe about 18 of them on top 50 all time scoring list. Stop playing with me 🤡! You live in nostalgia land where Jordans era was better at everything but the numbers dont bear that out.
This is when I really miss Kobe!!! Kobe would've had a clever quote for the young lad....
MICHAEL JORDAN KILLS BLACK CHILDREN!
Kobe was saying the same thing
@@metaphoria3 Kobe backed it up though. Kobe was cocky but he earned MJs respect. What has Ja done to be this cocky. First they take jabs at Curry, Klay and the Warriors who whooped them now he taking shots at MJ. Who this kid thinks he is? One playoff victory? That's literally it. Kid needs to sit down.
@@chan13153 kids these days lol Kobe did we’ll see if Ja does no way he’s cookin Mj tho
@@chan13153 no, he didn't. Stop
They still talk about MJ as if he is in his prime playing today. Shows you how great he really was.
MJ like "Young man please win a championship before you can even think about challenging me"
MJ didn’t win a chip until like year 7 and there are plenty of great players with no rings. I’m not saying Ja would beat him, but y’all gotta stop with ring nonsense. Literally no one except Magic got a ring in first 3 years.
@@Idontwannaknowu23 Mj literally couldn’t even make it to the Finals until he had easily the best team in the league and all the OG competition was old and retired. Consistently bounced in the first and second round. People will forever over look this because of 6-0. No disrespect to that man tho. He was phenomenal, the double standard is just crazy to me.
Exactly. These boys are arrogant. A 6x NBA champion reserves the right to be held in high regard. Regardless of the time span, he earned it.
@@Idontwannaknowu23 He was a better player after he won championships ! You talking nonsense ! It's the same with other players they matured refined their game to win ! The dudes you talking about didn't win nothing they are great players but not winners ! Now people having one good season with ok stats and start comparing themselves to Jordan LeBron and all the greatest players in NBA history. What nonsense is that ?
@@McFrappin MJ came into the league cocky, not confident, cocky. He didn’t even see the finals until 91, and that same attitude carried him through 6 finals. Y’all gotta let these players live
😂😂😂😂
Ja Morant couldn’t cook Thomas let alone Jordan. You know what. Joe Dumars would roast this dude.
I’ve been hit,💀 Blackhawk down🚁
He would cook them but yea MJ is too big for him.
Joe dumars is a stretch lol, dude underrated all time tho but no
@@futurekillerful just depends on the era… joe dumars hand checking and a few body slams into the game would probably win. Ja would probably shoot flatfootted… betta not elevate 😂
Considering that MJ considers Dumars one of the best defenders he played I believe he would cook, baked and sous-vide him.
Jordan was bigger. Jordans a better defender. Jordan in his prime was just as athletic and explosive. Jordan had better post moves, jump shot. Jordan beats him in almost every area.
Bruh got a 48 inch vertical you could honestly just stop there. He got a literal JUMP shot that shi unguardable cause he jump high af
They weren't doing step back 3's back then
@@julian2238 There's absolutely no proof Jordan had a 48 inch vertical. Also, Jordan would lose. Jordan had trouble against Jeff Malone and an old Larry Bird.
@@hitek9too255?? The nba combine has it at 48 inches.
Ai cooked jordan. Kyrie definitely could. Him saying no one in the nba could is just crazy
The nascar reference is so true. I’ve taken 4ppl that had never been to a nascar event to their first race and the first thing all of them said was they had no idea it was that wild in person
Teams literally hunt Ja on defense man. MJ would make this man wanna quit the game lmao
He would drop 70 on him

He said he would cook Jordan not lock him up. Meaning he could score at will not keep me from scoring
@@rjburnette8598 even that's a lie and he knows it. Jordan would have locked him up
MJ would avg at least 35 in today’s nba lol. MJ is number 1 on most peoples NBA list for a reason, this from a Lebron fan. Also didn’t they almost lose to Ant and the Wolves. 🤦🏾♂️
he would not average 35 on a winning team.

35 is what he's done in his era...more like 45...
@@IccDani yes he would
@@TheLionaaa exactly...35 I his and was his average with wholesome defense trying to him down...he would dunk at least 10x a game as well lol
I love Ja, but this is lunacy! He'd score a point, but if MJ went into lockdown mode, he'd lock Ja up. PERIODT!!!!
Lil Ja vs 6’6 MJ 🤣 Ja feeling himself this reminds me when Kyrie challenged Kobe like really 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love Ja's confidence. He has been one of my favorite players since he was drafted. However, SLOW. IT. DOWN. youngin. Ja is 22, not in his prime, but Jordan at 22 would hurt Ja's feelings. STOP the madness 😂😂
@@mbayadji You know who else had better numbers than Jordan at that age, and also was jumping high, explosive type of players? Derrick Rose and Russel Westbrook.
@@mbayadji And just like D Rose, Ja alread has knee problems and missed 20 games last season. Look i want Ja all the best, but fact is many players had better stats than MJ at his age, he wasnt special at all at 21, but what he became later was pure magic. So we gotta wait a bit, but my bet is Ja destroys his knees because, well, pure physics...
@@mbayadji Hope youre right, dont want noone to get hurt ofcourse...
BTW i just compared stats between MJ and JA... MJ at 21 averaged 28 ppg on over 50% shooting, while Ja had 17 ppg on 45% shooting. MJ missed nearly whole 2nd season so thats not for comparison, but 3rd year dude averaged 37 ppg... Yeah even in stats its not for comparison, lets quit BSing.
@@mbayadji Mentioning 3's in an era where people weren't shooting that many P/G is a pathetic argument
@@mbayadji better numbers where ???
Before I even watch this; I know Skip is going to flip out
😂😂of course
I thought the same.... surprisingly he didn't and Shannon was more baffled 😂
Not just a chef but also a butler, chauffer, gardener and laundryman for MJ. 😂
Lmao Ja would get throttles 1V1 against MJ HAHAHA, hilarious but I like the he energy lol
MJ AND KOBE Destroy in 1V1
You- cook 9x defense all first team MJ?!!🤣🤣😂😂😂I can hear Mike now after every bucket saying, “Dead.”
MICHAEL JORDAN KILLS BLACK CHILDREN!
Ja's overconfidence is unreal, what a clown 😂
How is he supposed to answer that question? You don’t become an all-star NBA player thinking other players are better than you, even if it’s MJ.
It’s arrogance & ignorance being perceived as confidence by fools
Glad Shannon gave Kobe his flowers. He and MJ are the best 1 on 1 players of all time 💯💯
He felt like AI crossed him up so he feels like he can cook him up. WRONG!!!
Yeah and AI did it ONCE lol.
It was a carry. His hand was all the way under the ball. When Mike saw that, he went for the ball because it was an easy steal. Then he continued his dribble.
@@wpriddy mf they made that up after he crossed him😂 goof ball, it was legal, they just made up the rule because Jordan got his 🍑 cooked😂🤣😂🤣
@@wpriddy plz stop. We don’t need to make bs excuses for mj😂
@@wpriddy shut up
Ask Corey B what happened when he called Jordan out for a 1 on 1. I'll quote one line from Jordan during that match "Look around....look at all the championship banners" LMFAO!
I love ja, but if he really thinks he could ever beat Jordan in the 90’s he’s more delusional than Westbrook
@@coco37s look at his interview where he says “ I’m allowed to miss shots, I’m allowed to turn the ball over”. Prime delusion
Um Ja wouldn't beat Jordan of the 80s or UNC Jordan
Thank you Shannon for saying that!!! I’ve been wanting to say that all this time
When it comes to MJ the whole era thing really doesn't hold water imo, simply because MJ was essentially today's NBA player playing in that era, so any one of today's players would still have a difficult time vs MJ as if anything, MJ today would have access to the same fitness, health and training facilities and technologies making him even more a beast.
He would of been better and scariest 💯
He sat on the sideline being a cheerleader while watching his team being eliminated. He looked pretty healthy and ready to play from what I seen, just saying 🤗

Facts
Ja’s SOFT period!! Jordan played with a flu in the finals and won it all…Ja needs to chill trash talking about the GOAT
Don't get upset ,he meant "I'll cook for Jordan" 🤣😂🤣🤣

“ utterly ridiculousness “ sharp
“ I don’t hate these remarks, I despise them” skip
this duo is funny asf 😂😂
He need to be humble and appreciate the opportunity he has to play in the NBA to arrogant
don’t forget about MJ’s defense. a lot of people sleep on this stat…
“Jordan led the league in steals a record three times. Though he was the most dominant scorer of all time with the highest career scoring average ever, he was also dominant defensively. The guard blocked more shots than any guard ever and also stole it 2,515 times in only 1,072 games.”
most dominant scorer ever...? nah... this goes to Wilt Chamberlain.

@@TR-hp7md casual
I Love when these two guys actually agree on something!!!! LOL 😂
That’s just absolutely ridiculous
Everyone knows todays nba has never been easier to score, the defense is non existent in todays nba, Jordans era was way more physical, he wouldn’t last in MJ’s era with that slender frame
Damn right say that again for the people in the back !
The 80’s NBA scored just as much as they do now and they weren’t even shooting threes. Defense didn’t become great until the mid-late 90’s. Let’s stop with the nostalgia. Damon near everyone was skinny back then too.
@@1227weaverb pistons would have injured ja so bad bro
I had respect for Ja, now Ja's a GOOF. All respect lost in 1 line.
Ja struggled to get past the son of the player who’s dad was one of the greatest defensive players ever who struggled to keep Jordan under 30 while doubling him. ja probably wouldn’t score
Social media is giving the young players a reason to expose their egos.
it gives then a reason to have one in the first place.. this are far worse for them than u think
Every great player has the no one can beat me ego.
@@datsapaddlin6449 they don’t understand that

He would probably do it. Iverson did, Kobe did, so there is something to what he's saying
Big difference between confidence and delusion.
You're going to cook the goat 10 times scoring champ, 9 times defensive 1st team, and dpoy.
I like Ja besides the suspect dancing and bravado
Just think about MJ down by 1 on the road in Utah 1998 game 6 nba finals under 10 seconds left, breaks the defenders fkn ankles makes him fall before winning the championship. Ja morant is crazy
Stole the ball first, then proceeded to do everything you posted.
Iverson crossed Jordan 1 time and it is so rare that they still show that play in today's highlights. That's how great Jordan's was at defense.
AI was the first player with an elite handle. Everyone’s handle is elite today. Even Giannis and Jokic.

jordan was a 9 time first team all nba defensive and a defensive player of the year and offense it gets even better.
The "Is Ja Morant a chef?" Took me OUT!
MJ is one of the best all time defenders and scorers ever, THE GOAT is not getting cooked by a PG who can’t even beat steph
First off, Steph is easily one of the hardest to guard players in the history of any sport ever. Second of all, I am under the opinion that the Grizzlies would have won if Ja didn't get injured. They had no answer. He was easily the best in that series before he got injured.
HOF Clamps
@@JROCK50054 steph definitely is in my top 10 all time but MJ is much harder to defend, he will get physical with you as well
You’re right but your reasoning is wrong. When ja got to play against the warriors he dropped at least 34 points a game while shooting 45% from the field at the very least. So it has nothing to do with steph. Cause clearly steph ain’t guarding any elite offense player, and I doubt steph ever actually spent a significant amount of time on ball guarding ja
@@nikeman116 exactly but I will add to everything you said that people are leaving out of context.
I like when Shannon gets on the real 🐐 train every once and while 😂
Clyde Drexler. Kobe. Look who guarded MJ.
Every stud in that NBA era. And we are including Magic to Bird to Charles Barkley.
MJ might be the most unguardable player in world wide history.
Like Draymond said on JJ Reddick podcast "Ja doesn't understand that the media will be expecting the Grizzlies win a lot plus the Western conference knows how they play now"
MICHAEL JORDAN KILLS BLACK CHILDREN!
First he says: “I just felt like if I won a championship, I wouldn't think about no other team or what somebody said months ago,”
and then he compares himself to Jordan?
He doesn’t know the FIRST THING about Jordan.
A Iverson said he thought he saw God! When he first seen MJ... A I is as tough as it gets hands down... He played football too!
No, trust me, Shannon. We feel the intensity on the field. I swear I watched a Ravens vs Jets game on night and woke up sore. That game was brutal.
"Lawd have mercy" 😂
Ja has more tweets than points. Man can’t even stay in front of Patrick Beverly.
