The Wizards years video always gaves me the question. What if MJ return to the Bulls. If I remember, they had Ron Artest, Tyson Chandler, Jalen Rose, Brad Miller, even Eddy Curry. I think they can be a title contender. What are your thoughts about this? I know Shaq was this time the juggernut.
Mj 10+ point scoring streak was over 1000 games if you combine the playoffs. Playoff games are games as well, so we should specifically say 800 regular season games or use the total games (season + playoffs)
When you see how the top 50 & the top 75 NBA players reacted around MJ & the stories they tell about MJ just walking into the room, we know he's the greatest of all the greats. Even they're in awe just seeing the man in real life.
I can't understand the comparison to LeBron. How is LeBron even in the debate? I don't get it. I believe LeBron is an all time great, one of the best ever. But to me he's not close to MJ or number 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. But so many make the case for him.
As a fan of the Sonics, I feared him too. Even long before the championship era, back in the '80s, when the Bulls were miles from championship contention, when they came to town I feared them kinda the same way I feared the Celtics or Lakers whenever they came to town. Because I knew on any given night, Jordan could just go off and could make the Bulls just as formidable as those elite teams. He couldn't carry the Bulls to a title by himself back in those days but he was perfectly capable of carrying them for a night. The 63 point game against the Celtics in '86 was a prime example of that. He didn't win that night but he damn near took down one of the greatest teams in NBA history with 5 HOFers and pushed them to the absolute limit.
Gawd disguised as Michael Jordan. I'm still a Sonics fan as well, really not a fan of today's defense but I still want our team back. I got to see MJ live twice in Seattle at the Key Arena during the 95-96 season, regular season then game 4 of the finals. I really don't remember much about either game but I'm so grateful that I was there. I saw that man play in person! The 7 game package I bought that season was solely based on seeing MJ. An I got to, was also able to buy my seats for the playoffs but I wound up selling most of them because I couldn't afford to go to all of them. I saw them beat the Rockets in one game, game 7 against the Jazz an then game 4 of the finals. I remember the Jazz game the most, it was huge. There was something really cool they did that game that I haven't been able to find on RUclips. During the timeout between the 3rd an 4th quarters they (the Sonics) had some Army Ranger guys from Fort Lewis here in Western Washington repel from the ceiling in full battle gear, rifles, helmets, camo, the works. When they got to the floor they all got down on one knee an made a protective circle around the Sonics while in their timeout. The crowd, myself included, were making so much noise an cheering so loud. It was just a gimmick but it was really cool to see, wish I could watch it again...... During the whole game everyone in the building would count while Karl Malone was at the free throw line, "1, 2, 3, 4' etc etc because Malone took so long at the line. The rule stated you have ten seconds after the ref passes you the ball an I guess people felt he was taking too long. On his last two free throws of the game the score was so close an the crowd so amped that we didn't count on those. We just made noise, as loud of a crowd as I've ever heard. An he bricked both free throws an Seattle went to the finals. I wanted them to win the finals but knew MJ would be too much going in. A great time in Seattle sports, 95-96 were great years. I was also going to Mariners games back then. I went to game 6 against the Cleveland Indians an the Mariners lost an we're eliminated. No one left, we all stayed an cheered even though the season was over. But it was a magical year an the first time Seattle had ever made the MLB playoffs as the Mariners. About 15 minutes after the game had ended the players came back on to the field an just walked around tipping their caps and or waving or whatever. I was a monkey see monkey do guy that night, everyone stayed an cheered so I did too. But it was cool to see, the appreciation the fans had for that team was cool an something I won't forget as long as I'm alive. We don't get many great moments as Seattle sports team fans an it seems odd I'm talking about things that didn't end with a championship. But that's being a Seattle fan😂 We gotta take what we get. I hope I see the Mariners make a World Series before I die, that's up towards the top of my wish list. I've been a fan of that team since day 1 of their existence. I got to go to a championship parade because of the Seahawks, had wanted to do that since I saw the parade in NYC after Reggie Jackson's Yankees won back in 1976 or 77. Whenever it was, I was a little kid an watched Reggie get those 3hr in that one game then watched the parade on TV a few days later. Finally got to do that at least.
@@Jbeeze82Also, had the 3pt shot attempt rule been in effect at the time, he would have gotten 3 free throws to win the game instead of 2 to tie it. People forget that.
When someone hits a "game winner" against all odds we are in awe. Jordan was such a beast during this time we were shocked when he missed a "game winner".
Jordan got snubbed in 86-87 out of a defensive 1st team selection and a dpoy vote. In 86-87 was his first season putting up 200 stls(2.9) and 100 blks(1.5).He led the league in scoring averaging 37.1ppg which knocked him since he was only considered a scorer at that time.
Yeah, I also notice that people don't seem to focus on what he did defensively that year. He was like "ok, I'll have to lead the league in steals the next year and block more shots than some starting centers/power forwards". After that, people paid attention to that side of his game going forward.
Averaging 37 in any era is crazy but the physicality of the 80s. MJs wasn't reliant on 3s ..primarily scoring with mid range jumpers and driving to the basket in heavy traffic...he would've easily averaged over 40 in any that post 2000s era
@@jrsmith1998 no, LeBron didn't get snubbed that year. Marc Gasol was snubbed out of a 1st team all defense selection and several others were better defensively than LeBron. Him getting 2nd place was a travesty. He wasn't even top 5.
*EDIT* The FIRST Player to ever get 200 Steals & 100 Blocks in a SINGLE SEASON...... & He did it TWO YEARS IN A ROW WHILE LEADING THE LEAGUE IN SCORING. 🐐
@@heftycat Technically one season, although he was so close again in 63 it's hard not to give it to him and he still holds the career triple double record by a healthy margin. IIRC he was also the first player average double digit assists. The guy is an absolute legend but I really don't like direct comparisons between this era. I'm not arguing for or against him here, just that neither performance should take away from the other. If we're focusing on triple doubles, of course Russell Westbrook needs to be mentioned but his blocks are nothing more than statistical noise.
@JJFX- stern, but fair. Lol. I agree, and I'll take it a step further, having ranked lists is a hard thing to validate too, not every conference and division are always strong...so numbers can be deflated or increased with strength of schedules and the like.
Mann...I love it. I love how he pulled up a lot of the times where someone said something negative about MJ and it didn't turn out too well for them. I've NEVER seen an athlete turn it on like that pretty much every time. It was almost like a movie script. Byron Scott had the best approach....do NOT trash talk him---just try to kill him with kindness lol.
When we were kids watching those championship runs Me and my friends were in to Star Wars big time. We always considered jordan to be a sth lord Because of the way he played when he was angry, he fed off of it. He ate it up and made it better
I feel nostalgic now about the Timberwolves when they had Kevin Garnett and Isaiah Rider. The Wolves would have won the game if Garnett and Rider hadn't egged Jordan on.
Just made it home from work PERFECT TIMING Anything MJ I’m tuned. MJ was really scary! 6’6” dark-skintone, baldhead, RED JERSEY 👁️, greatest skills, outsmarted everybody, studied predatory animals! He was really the perfect encapsulated basketball player and WINNER. LeBron was never feared like MJ, most players didn’t even respect him for a long time. The stories are out there when players talk about how bad they wanted to go at Bron. And many players from Jordans era confess how they didn’t wanna make the GOAT mad 😂😉
We can have all the debates we want for the rest of time, but everyone deep down inside *KNOWS* who the best ever was. MJ doesn’t need stats. Any human being who has a soul knows that there’s nobody on planet earth who played basketball at a higher level
Imagine facing a player who was talented, physically gifted, covered by every media outlet globally, mentally insane, and could take as many shots as he wanted. I would be nervous too!
Jordan was feared because he was just relentless on both ends of the court. Even if he had an off night (offensively or defensively), he would never let up on his opponents or his teammates. He demanded excellence - in effort and/or execution so even if you executed poorly, if the effort was there, you knew your head was in the right place. This is why the Bulls rarely lost consecutive games and won 6 championships in the 90s. Keep in mind that Jordan retired TWICE during that decade as well!!!
I loved your response on Michaels underrated video where dude clapped back at you by saying he was a failure. What i love is how you break it down and simplify it for even someone as stupid as he was to make a video like that (Allegedly) towards you. Mad respect for just keeping it real and showing the stats and information just on the basic stuff that anyone could see. It was a great short film you put together. Bloody Fantastic!!!!!
You could tell just by watching Jordan that he was one of the best ever on ball defender. Doing all of that while being the best at pretty much everything else makes it even more impressive
Ty for your video they really help me understand the game my dad is like you had watched the game since Dr.J and he like how you represent all eras of basketball
Jordan only won titles because he teamed up with Drexler and Ewing. And then Hakeem and Penny. Tried to get Reggie and Kobe too? Oh wait... no that was LeFraud that kept doing that, my bad
Lol, they didn't change the rules or cater to LeBron either. Also, Jordan was nothing but a volume scorer without Pippin unlike LeBron first 7yrs. Yeah, Jordan has way more to be exposed about so stop.
@@younglove3362 hilarious. Jordan had critics his entire career....and since then. But his status as the GOAT has only grown stronger as time goes by. With the exception of the brain dead Lebron superfans, everyone universally realizes that. Like nobody has tried to "expose" MJ 🤣 The Lebron deal is that he's had cover for so long... all the love from the media from the day he came to the NBA. Jordan wasn't propped up as the protected his entire career like Lebron. Jordan won as soon as they got a couple of functional pieces. They didn't shop the NBA looking for all stars to create a team for him. Lebron didn't win anything until he got to put together super teams. And with all of the super teams and 20 years of crying.... he has not won as many titles as everyone expected... with any of the teams. Said he was going to get 6 rings w/Miami? Lakers teams are so stacked they were expected to cake walk to titles. It's a dumpster fire. MJ was great every year no matter the rules... and with the Lebron rules now... omg Jordan would absolutely tear up the league. Give him a couple extra steps every time he has the ball, like Lebron??? Game over 😆😆😆
Jordan's first 3 years...only good player on his team was Charles Oakley. He missed most of his second year. Drafted Pippen... took a couple years to develop. After that... it didn't matter who they had. He never asked to get "talent" to come save him. He didn't cry and throw his team under the bus like LeBum. Jordan carried the team... team sometimes hated him because he drove them... demanded greatness. Lebron and MJ are two different cats... no comparison. Lebron is not a top 5 all time.... enough with the comparisons to Jordan. Should be talking about Kobe, Magic, Bird, etc vs MJ. Lebron needs to get past guys like Harden and Barkley and Nash 😂😂
@@younglove3362 You pea-brained lemmings like to bring up 16 ppg Pippen like he magically made MJ better. That's called a correlation fallacy. Pippen got better around 89/90, and helped the Bulls, not MJ. Also, Pippen wasn't the only difference. The whole line-up changed, but MJ was carrying the Bulls since day one. L-Bron has been chasing his entire career and still hasn't closed an inch. If anything, he's hurt his legacy. 👋
1:37:50 That play by Pippen is so underrated in regards to effort and defensive intensity as there ever will be. As a defender, Scottie Pippen in his prime was probably one of the best Defenders at his position of all time. Honestly, the same can be said for Jordan as well (at his position).
I was watching another Jordan documentary where Bobby Knight talked about the Olympics when Jordan came out of college and they played 8 games against THE VERY BEST THE NBA HAD TO OFFER AND THEY WON EVERY GAME BUT ONE IN PARTICULAR JORDAN PLAYED 12 MINUTES OR SO AND ALMOST HAD A TRIPLE DOUBLE (MIC DROP) 👏👏👏💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
Never thought I'll watch a RUclips video that is almost 2 hours long all the way through but I did, thank you. Also Im not a Lakers fan per se but I was definitely a Kobe fan. He just had that dog in him that Jordan had. I loved that. I dont think another player could have made Jordan cry at their funeral like Kobe did, thats including player he played with. Jordan knew it too. I had the Lakers all white home Kobe jersey #8. It was fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I really appreciate watching history made again....basketball is nothing like it was in the nighties....thank you so much for all your hard work and research.....
When your name is literally associated with being the best at what you do, there's no way anyone can ever top that. No one will EVER say "you're the LeBron James of...", unless they're calling you 3rd best at your job 😂
This is the greatest breakdown of the athletic demigod ie Michael Jordan. Whoever wrote this script is a top-tier analyst. Impeccable work my friend. 👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you for showing Kemp & Payton, those two were really good together an I'm grateful I got to see them live so much. Broke my heart when Kemp left. They were never the same again.
I can never choose Wilt, Kareem or Russell as the goat over MJ solely because of what I've witnessed MJ do in the league in the 80s and 90s. There was so much fire in MJ that's 2nd to none. The intensity he had is also 2nd to none. He established himself as the best player in the league during the Celtics and Lakers dynasty runs. Witnessing him retiring for the 1st time really made me sad and made me watch the NBA a lot less. I was a LeBron fan up until he self proclaimed to be the greatest player of all time. That was just appalling for me. I mean I really watched him religiously like I did with MJ. I was never going to choose him over MJ as the goat to begin with just simply because he never had that killer instinct. He's actually disappointed me countless times when I wanted to see him take close big games into his own hands but chooses to pass instead. I just never saw the goat quality in his character ever! There's a reason why MJ is used as a measuring stick for greatness. LeBron simply doesn't measure up period!
I never thought it tarnished his legacy. I watched the vast majority of the games. We got to see a perfect jump shot 2 more years, he had to get back in shape, he got to lead by example with his inhuman work ethic and what he could achieve as a man in his late 30s after a long stint off. His youth and explosiveness was just a compliment to the perfect part.
Jonny u should do a video where u rank all time starting 5s from all the first round draft spots. obviously the bottom like 20 or so would all be the bottom 20 picks of the draft but the top would be interesting
Jordan was always the best player on the floor, no matter who he was playing. It wasn't even a question. Defensive end, offensive end, the best. NO QUIT,NO EXCUSES ,CLUTCH KILLER MENTALITY. FEARED BY THE ENTIRE LEAGUE! Lebron belongs in the long line of Greats battling to become the 2nd best behind the GREATEST
Honestly , the comparison is just disrespectful . I think Hakeem alajuwon would obliterate Leflop in 1v1 ,, he'd be flopping on the floor left and right and would quit after getting punched in the face . LeBron could never guard bird , couldn't dribble past Jordan ,, if he got smokes my curry than Reggie miller and those pacers would've crushed him. Id take Duncan over James. He couldn't beat prime Shaq,, Kobe ,, shit even Durant and harden were always scoring more points than him. Dude would be lucky to be top 5
@@ostrich6175 Nobody never feared Bron, in his first season 12th season or 21st season 🤷🏾♂️ That man used to bite his nails his first 7 seasons and flopped up until they banned it!
With a few rare exceptions, Lebron is a big game bricklayer when the pressure is on... it's always the other guys on the team making the big play to win the game. Ray Allen... DWade. The media frenzy just covered for him for the last decade. He had a couple good runs (cake walk through the east with Dwade being the real MVP) but the rest of his career the media has him wearing this fake crown and now they have to die on that hill because they are too invested in the fraud at this point.
LeBron haters criticize LeBron no matter what he does, Bronsexuals don’t accept any criticism of Bron even if it’s valid, it’s the real ones who can give him his props and due criticism. Us in the middle get labelled as “stans” by the haters and “haters” by the stans
Great video.... Totally agree on on everything. Especially the wizards part of his career being forgotten and overlooked when in actuality it was pretty amazing. Well done putting it into perspective.. 2 thumbs way up 👍 👍
Lebron fans refuse to accept these valid facts. He'll never be considered as the GOAT. He's so over rated. Great upload as usual. Mr Arnet always brings the receipts to the table.👏👏
Your perspective was quite logical and much appreciated. Thanks for compiling this. :) I'm not done watching yet, but when I consider the percentages of time that MJ was double or even triple-teamed throughout his career, to me that really hammers home just how good MJ really was. Not to mention that it seems whenever another team played the Bulls, they knew they had to be at their very best just to keep from getting embarrassed by MJ. I think it pays not to overlook these areas when discussing the GOAT.
That 7 year $18M Contract he put his signature on made him an Angry man when the averages after a few years rose to $9M to $21M for players of his Caliber.
To those who say Lebron has to “do so much on offense” he cannot play hard defense it’s nonsense. If you play hard defense you energize your team and demoralize your opponent. MJ actually played so hard on offense and defense that he won MVP and defensive player of the year while winning scoring title and averaged 3.6 steals and over one block per game as a guard. MJ managed 9 first team all defense in his 13 years with the bulls and didn’t qualify in the year where he broke his foot (which nlt 18 games played) and in his first comeback year of 1995 (17 games played only). First team all defense in 9 of his 11 eligible years while leading league in scoring 10 of those years (lone exception was rookie season). Lebron just sticking around to shoot from 24 feet from the basket and not even playing defense except for an occasional effort. This is not an amazing feat when you spend $1 million dollars per year to hide your steroid use
Jordan was not dominant in only one aspect of the game. It's not worth trying to break one aspect of his game down because it's criminal that it may misrepresent the bigger picture of how good this guy was. He specialised in all aspects of the game. He had the most complete game I have ever seen to this day, making him the greatest player I have ever seen play. Then he has his game off the court. You know, the shoes! Do we really need to go down this road to settle this argument forever as to who really is the greatest ? Come on! There is no one even close to this man. He is on his own pedestal high above all else!
Jonny Arnett those statics showing MJ at 40 and still having wonderful performance at 40, bro what you have showing is flabbergasted and ridiculous 🙄 bro at 40 and putting these scores up it's crazy
Biggest WHAT IF’s of the “Jordan era” 1. Len Bias (RIP) 2. Ralph Sampson (injury) 3. Reggie Lewis (RIP) 4. Penny Hardaway (injury) 5. Magic Johnson (injury/sick) 6. Larry Birds (injury) 7. Jordan to POR in 84’ draft 8. Benji Wilson (RIP) 9. Larry Johnson (injury) 10. Hank Gathers (RIP) Honorary mention: Petrovich, Sabonis (prime), Nick Galis (the Greek goat) I think any way you splice it Jordan is the greatest NBA player we’ve seen so far. Actually, I know that. So these players wouldn’t change that fact BUT it would definitely alter much of NBA history…
I'm not sure they would have gotten Reggie Lewis in the draft to pair with Len Bias but if so, that matchup against MJ/Pippen would have been great. It was great watching Petrovic play though...that dude was like a machine---he never stopped.
As Far as the 45 MJ couple of years he played after his main career.... I'm sure MJ had a few more DOTS to check off his list I know he was the most competitive and always tried for the exclamation point no matter what and still would do at 60 given the chance. I'm only 7 years younger than Mike so for me he'll ALWAYS be my Goat. Thx for this WELL DONE video.
Brother, the way you found the game that Garnet was talking about makes you a legend.Ive heard that story plenty times and always had to use my imagination.
I am not a Jordan fan, but I give him his due as one of the greatest. It is about my biggest peeve, when critics of great players use the, "They played against plumbers and taxi drivers" type of analogy. That is as ignorant statement as can be made, of any era, but especially the 80s and early 90s.

Averaging 37 in any era is crazy but the physicality of the 80s. MJs wasn't reliant on 3s ..primarily scoring with mid range jumpers and driving to the basket in heavy traffic...he would've easily averaged over 40 in any that post 2000s era
@jasonhearn5818 exactly. He only made 12 three-pointers that season.
Did Lebron get snubbed in 2013 for DPOY?
If not, then stfu
@@jrsmith1998 no, LeBron didn't get snubbed that year. Marc Gasol was snubbed out of a 1st team all defense selection and several others were better defensively than LeBron. Him getting 2nd place was a travesty. He wasn't even top 5.
*EDIT*
The FIRST Player to ever get 200 Steals & 100 Blocks in a SINGLE SEASON...... & He did it TWO YEARS IN A ROW WHILE LEADING THE LEAGUE IN SCORING. 🐐
FACTS bruh. Also one of those years he was league mvp and defensive player of the year too lmao....
Nah, skewed facts, look up Oscar Robertson...they weren't even recording blocks when he played.. and he averaged a triple double multiple years
@@heftycat Technically one season, although he was so close again in 63 it's hard not to give it to him and he still holds the career triple double record by a healthy margin. IIRC he was also the first player average double digit assists.
The guy is an absolute legend but I really don't like direct comparisons between this era. I'm not arguing for or against him here, just that neither performance should take away from the other. If we're focusing on triple doubles, of course Russell Westbrook needs to be mentioned but his blocks are nothing more than statistical noise.
@JJFX- stern, but fair. Lol. I agree, and I'll take it a step further, having ranked lists is a hard thing to validate too, not every conference and division are always strong...so numbers can be deflated or increased with strength of schedules and the like.
Incorrect. He did do it twice, but Pippen and Olajuwon also did it once a piece.
Mann...I love it. I love how he pulled up a lot of the times where someone said something negative about MJ and it didn't turn out too well for them. I've NEVER seen an athlete turn it on like that pretty much every time. It was almost like a movie script.
Byron Scott had the best approach....do NOT trash talk him---just try to kill him with kindness lol.
Jonny not sure if you understand how much people like me appreciate the effort you put into these. Thank you for existing!
Oh yeah! can't get enough of the Airness in the GOAT basketball voice of Jonny Arnett . Blessings for you and your family, regards from Mexico.
When we were kids watching those championship runs Me and my friends were in to Star Wars big time. We always considered jordan to be a sth lord Because of the way he played when he was angry, he fed off of it. He ate it up and made it better
MJ supercut while I’m doing chores and data work? Yes fucking please and thank you.
You’re welcome! :)
10 steals in 27 minutes is just absurd.
That's perfect timing!!
I feel nostalgic now about the Timberwolves when they had Kevin Garnett and Isaiah Rider.
The Wolves would have won the game if Garnett and Rider hadn't egged Jordan on.
Just made it home from work PERFECT TIMING
Anything MJ I’m tuned. MJ was really scary! 6’6” dark-skintone, baldhead, RED JERSEY 👁️, greatest skills, outsmarted everybody, studied predatory animals! He was really the perfect encapsulated basketball player and WINNER. LeBron was never feared like MJ, most players didn’t even respect him for a long time. The stories are out there when players talk about how bad they wanted to go at Bron. And many players from Jordans era confess how they didn’t wanna make the GOAT mad 😂😉
We can have all the debates we want for the rest of time, but everyone deep down inside *KNOWS* who the best ever was.
MJ doesn’t need stats. Any human being who has a soul knows that there’s nobody on planet earth who played basketball at a higher level
An there's still a bunch of people out there saying LeBron is the best.
I just don't get it
What's wrong with Lebronze medal James?
@@muscletribeofexcellence2133 Nothing, but he isn't close to MJ as far as goat. Not, close.
Stfu they look up bron fool 😂😭😭😂😂😂😂😂
Imagine facing a player who was talented, physically gifted, covered by every media outlet globally, mentally insane, and could take as many shots as he wanted. I would be nervous too!
lmao nervous? really now😂 no you wouldnt stop glazing
@@dominicharris5489you sound dumb. Mj would give any of us 100 like wilt
You're talking about lebron, right? Then there's no need to be nervous 😂
And fundamentally sound...
And all earnt
Jordan was feared because he was just relentless on both ends of the court. Even if he had an off night (offensively or defensively), he would never let up on his opponents or his teammates. He demanded excellence - in effort and/or execution so even if you executed poorly, if the effort was there, you knew your head was in the right place. This is why the Bulls rarely lost consecutive games and won 6 championships in the 90s.
Keep in mind that Jordan retired TWICE during that decade as well!!!
Michael Jordan will be the excellence of basketball forever. HE IS SURELY THE GOAT.
thank you Jonny for this video. I am a MJ fanatic. I just love your videos about him. Thank you for featuring him again. God bless you always!
I loved your response on Michaels underrated video where dude clapped back at you by saying he was a failure. What i love is how you break it down and simplify it for even someone as stupid as he was to make a video like that (Allegedly) towards you. Mad respect for just keeping it real and showing the stats and information just on the basic stuff that anyone could see.
It was a great short film you put together. Bloody Fantastic!!!!!
I’m a die-hard MJ fan and even I didn’t know how impressive his Wizards years were! What a great video and loved that Wizards segment
Love your stuff Johnny basketball is so much better with you
MJ stories never get old
Superb video - coming from a Chicagoan who grew up watching Jordan 🥲
A 2 Hour part 2? That's a big ole W!!! 🎉
You could tell just by watching Jordan that he was one of the best ever on ball defender. Doing all of that while being the best at pretty much everything else makes it even more impressive
That last sequence against UTAH is the summary of Jordan's career: clutch defense and offense.
Facts 💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥
Comment for the algorithm, love the videos man! 👍
Ty for your video they really help me understand the game my dad is like you had watched the game since Dr.J and he like how you represent all eras of basketball
This is a great breakdown and overall excellent piece of work.
Jfc the amount and quality of the content on this channel is unreal.
Bro that’s a great video. I grew up wanting to be like Mike but I forgot how everybody was scared of him
Well done. This is what now days lebron fans don't understand and didn't see him do it live. Jordan WON GAMES. Noticeably
Jordan only won titles because he teamed up with Drexler and Ewing. And then Hakeem and Penny. Tried to get Reggie and Kobe too? Oh wait... no that was LeFraud that kept doing that, my bad
Lol, they didn't change the rules or cater to LeBron either. Also, Jordan was nothing but a volume scorer without Pippin unlike LeBron first 7yrs. Yeah, Jordan has way more to be exposed about so stop.
@@younglove3362 hilarious. Jordan had critics his entire career....and since then. But his status as the GOAT has only grown stronger as time goes by. With the exception of the brain dead Lebron superfans, everyone universally realizes that. Like nobody has tried to "expose" MJ 🤣 The Lebron deal is that he's had cover for so long... all the love from the media from the day he came to the NBA. Jordan wasn't propped up as the protected his entire career like Lebron. Jordan won as soon as they got a couple of functional pieces. They didn't shop the NBA looking for all stars to create a team for him. Lebron didn't win anything until he got to put together super teams. And with all of the super teams and 20 years of crying.... he has not won as many titles as everyone expected... with any of the teams. Said he was going to get 6 rings w/Miami? Lakers teams are so stacked they were expected to cake walk to titles. It's a dumpster fire. MJ was great every year no matter the rules... and with the Lebron rules now... omg Jordan would absolutely tear up the league. Give him a couple extra steps every time he has the ball, like Lebron??? Game over 😆😆😆
Jordan's first 3 years...only good player on his team was Charles Oakley. He missed most of his second year. Drafted Pippen... took a couple years to develop. After that... it didn't matter who they had. He never asked to get "talent" to come save him. He didn't cry and throw his team under the bus like LeBum. Jordan carried the team... team sometimes hated him because he drove them... demanded greatness. Lebron and MJ are two different cats... no comparison. Lebron is not a top 5 all time.... enough with the comparisons to Jordan. Should be talking about Kobe, Magic, Bird, etc vs MJ. Lebron needs to get past guys like Harden and Barkley and Nash 😂😂
@@younglove3362what rules did they change for Jordan?
@@younglove3362 You pea-brained lemmings like to bring up 16 ppg Pippen like he magically made MJ better. That's called a correlation fallacy. Pippen got better around 89/90, and helped the Bulls, not MJ. Also, Pippen wasn't the only difference. The whole line-up changed, but MJ was carrying the Bulls since day one. L-Bron has been chasing his entire career and still hasn't closed an inch. If anything, he's hurt his legacy. 👋
This is the best MJ doc I’ve seen so far! Awesome! 👏 love this! ❤
You have great analysis. you totally make sense. Your understanding is excellent.
Jonny Arnett thanks for your honesty and Ball knowledge
I like how Dom told a story from a game he outshined MJ.
1:37:50 That play by Pippen is so underrated in regards to effort and defensive intensity as there ever will be. As a defender, Scottie Pippen in his prime was probably one of the best Defenders at his position of all time. Honestly, the same can be said for Jordan as well (at his position).
His avg against us was 37, and then sometimes he would get hot...ouch
The more layers you peel back on MJ’s career…the greater he is 🐐
I was watching another Jordan documentary where Bobby Knight talked about the Olympics when Jordan came out of college and they played 8 games against THE VERY BEST THE NBA HAD TO OFFER AND THEY WON EVERY GAME BUT ONE IN PARTICULAR JORDAN PLAYED 12 MINUTES OR SO AND ALMOST HAD A TRIPLE DOUBLE (MIC DROP) 👏👏👏💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
Never thought I'll watch a RUclips video that is almost 2 hours long all the way through but I did, thank you. Also Im not a Lakers fan per se but I was definitely a Kobe fan. He just had that dog in him that Jordan had. I loved that. I dont think another player could have made Jordan cry at their funeral like Kobe did, thats including player he played with. Jordan knew it too. I had the Lakers all white home Kobe jersey #8. It was fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Micheal didn't get mad... he got freakishly focused, weather changing fierce tornado coming. It gets dark very quickly...
Was on a debate show today, I told them sometimes one team just had Jordan and the other doesn’t that’s the difference
MJ was not the greatest defender of all time, but he is one of the greatest defenders of all time, big difference.
He said one of the greatest defenders
Greatest at his position, period!
Jordan maybe Thee GOAT Defender too
Only Man rocking 200 Steals & 100 Blocks Twice
@munoken Definitely the GOAT defender at his position. 💯
@@CSDonohue11 fax!
What a blessing to have been able to watch him play in his prime. If you didnt see it or experience it is hard to grasp.
Legendary
I really appreciate watching history made again....basketball is nothing like it was in the nighties....thank you so much for all your hard work and research.....
Great video
The use of that gym class video is a master stroke. That part of the video, about American fitness was extremely well done.
When your name is literally associated with being the best at what you do, there's no way anyone can ever top that. No one will EVER say "you're the LeBron James of...", unless they're calling you 3rd best at your job 😂
When everyone is and idiot, you'd be foolish to follow the majority of them. And that's exactly what Jordan fans are.

@@jonnyarnett thanks a lot
Thank you for showing Kemp & Payton, those two were really good together an I'm grateful I got to see them live so much. Broke my heart when Kemp left. They were never the same again.
I can never choose Wilt, Kareem or Russell as the goat over MJ solely because of what I've witnessed MJ do in the league in the 80s and 90s. There was so much fire in MJ that's 2nd to none. The intensity he had is also 2nd to none. He established himself as the best player in the league during the Celtics and Lakers dynasty runs. Witnessing him retiring for the 1st time really made me sad and made me watch the NBA a lot less. I was a LeBron fan up until he self proclaimed to be the greatest player of all time. That was just appalling for me. I mean I really watched him religiously like I did with MJ. I was never going to choose him over MJ as the goat to begin with just simply because he never had that killer instinct. He's actually disappointed me countless times when I wanted to see him take close big games into his own hands but chooses to pass instead. I just never saw the goat quality in his character ever! There's a reason why MJ is used as a measuring stick for greatness. LeBron simply doesn't measure up period!
LOVE KG!! GREAT STORY. He really is a great storyteller
GOAT NUFF SAID
I love KG stories, he's really good at telling them. Very fun to listen to.
Wow, that Clayton dude got bodied by facts and logic.
I never thought it tarnished his legacy. I watched the vast majority of the games. We got to see a perfect jump shot 2 more years, he had to get back in shape, he got to lead by example with his inhuman work ethic and what he could achieve as a man in his late 30s after a long stint off. His youth and explosiveness was just a compliment to the perfect part.
Jonny a daily watch for me!
Thank you for the great video. I learned a lot about Jordan's Wizard years. I now have a new view of those years. Prop to you and your video.
Jonny u should do a video where u rank all time starting 5s from all the first round draft spots. obviously the bottom like 20 or so would all be the bottom 20 picks of the draft but the top would be interesting
This is great. Thank you Mr. Arnett!
They've legislated the psychological part of basketball out of the league.
Yessirrrrr!!! I think you put that into words better than anybody.
Everyone is kool and homeboys now.
It's not fear, it's intimidation that's based on Jordan's ability. It's a universal mindset
Jordan was always the best player on the floor, no matter who he was playing. It wasn't even a question. Defensive end, offensive end, the best. NO QUIT,NO EXCUSES ,CLUTCH KILLER MENTALITY. FEARED BY THE ENTIRE LEAGUE! Lebron belongs in the long line of Greats battling to become the 2nd best behind the GREATEST
MJ is a true 99 overall
Honestly , the comparison is just disrespectful . I think Hakeem alajuwon would obliterate Leflop in 1v1 ,, he'd be flopping on the floor left and right and would quit after getting punched in the face .
LeBron could never guard bird , couldn't dribble past Jordan ,, if he got smokes my curry than Reggie miller and those pacers would've crushed him. Id take Duncan over James. He couldn't beat prime Shaq,, Kobe ,, shit even Durant and harden were always scoring more points than him.
Dude would be lucky to be top 5
all of this guys videos are soooo top notch. truly elite quality. i dunno if there is anyone better.
Need another ultimate Bird video too!
Dude great idea. Checking NBA players stories they share on interviews. Pretty cool
"Lebron is universally respected..." umm, not really bro... he's getting exposed
Dude it's like his 383728374 season. Of course he's not as good
Its his 20th season and he still averaging better than yo fav player at their 20th season
@@ostrich6175
Nobody never feared Bron, in his first season 12th season or 21st season 🤷🏾♂️
That man used to bite his nails his first 7 seasons and flopped up until they banned it!
With a few rare exceptions, Lebron is a big game bricklayer when the pressure is on... it's always the other guys on the team making the big play to win the game. Ray Allen... DWade. The media frenzy just covered for him for the last decade. He had a couple good runs (cake walk through the east with Dwade being the real MVP) but the rest of his career the media has him wearing this fake crown and now they have to die on that hill because they are too invested in the fraud at this point.
LeBron haters criticize LeBron no matter what he does, Bronsexuals don’t accept any criticism of Bron even if it’s valid, it’s the real ones who can give him his props and due criticism.
Us in the middle get labelled as “stans” by the haters and “haters” by the stans
Great video.... Totally agree on on everything. Especially the wizards part of his career being forgotten and overlooked when in actuality it was pretty amazing. Well done putting it into perspective.. 2 thumbs way up 👍 👍
Lebron fans refuse to accept these valid facts. He'll never be considered as the GOAT. He's so over rated. Great upload as usual. Mr Arnet always brings the receipts to the table.👏👏
MJ dunked on practically every defender, double, triple or more. Lebron cant do that unless the lanes are wide open.
Your perspective was quite logical and much appreciated. Thanks for compiling this. :) I'm not done watching yet, but when I consider the percentages of time that MJ was double or even triple-teamed throughout his career, to me that really hammers home just how good MJ really was. Not to mention that it seems whenever another team played the Bulls, they knew they had to be at their very best just to keep from getting embarrassed by MJ. I think it pays not to overlook these areas when discussing the GOAT.
No one in the league today is scary anymore. Bunch of sensitive twitch streamers and podcasters
Well jockic kwahi are 2 players that aren't sensitive both of them are nonchalant and when healthy are monsters
It's more important today for them to talk about their game, then let their game talk for them. It's all about money now days. Not winning

That 7 year $18M Contract he put his signature on made him an Angry man when the averages after a few years rose to $9M to $21M for players of his Caliber.
23:19 Nique is pure class.
I loved every minute of this video man good job💪
To those who say Lebron has to “do so much on offense” he cannot play hard defense it’s nonsense. If you play hard defense you energize your team and demoralize your opponent.
MJ actually played so hard on offense and defense that he won MVP and defensive player of the year while winning scoring title and averaged 3.6 steals and over one block per game as a guard.
MJ managed 9 first team all defense in his 13 years with the bulls and didn’t qualify in the year where he broke his foot (which nlt 18 games played) and in his first comeback year of 1995 (17 games played only).
First team all defense in 9 of his 11 eligible years while leading league in scoring 10 of those years (lone exception was rookie season).
Lebron just sticking around to shoot from 24 feet from the basket and not even playing defense except for an occasional effort. This is not an amazing feat when you spend $1 million dollars per year to hide your steroid use
Get em💯💯💯💯💯👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥
Jordan was not dominant in only one aspect of the game. It's not worth trying to break one aspect of his game down because it's criminal that it may misrepresent the bigger picture of how good this guy was. He specialised in all aspects of the game. He had the most complete game I have ever seen to this day, making him the greatest player I have ever seen play.
Then he has his game off the court. You know, the shoes! Do we really need to go down this road to settle this argument forever as to who really is the greatest ?
Come on!
There is no one even close to this man. He is on his own pedestal high above all else!
Guys don’t have pride anymore so they don’t care about being embarrassed
Jonny Arnett those statics showing MJ at 40 and still having wonderful performance at 40, bro what you have showing is flabbergasted and ridiculous 🙄 bro at 40 and putting these scores up it's crazy

I think any way you splice it Jordan is the greatest NBA player we’ve seen so far. Actually, I know that. So these players wouldn’t change that fact BUT it would definitely alter much of NBA history…
I'm not sure they would have gotten Reggie Lewis in the draft to pair with Len Bias but if so, that matchup against MJ/Pippen would have been great. It was great watching Petrovic play though...that dude was like a machine---he never stopped.
As Far as the 45 MJ couple of years he played after his main career.... I'm sure MJ had a few more DOTS to check off his list I know he was the most competitive and always tried for the exclamation point no matter what and still would do at 60 given the chance. I'm only 7 years younger than Mike so for me he'll ALWAYS be my Goat. Thx for this WELL DONE video.

I Been Asking That Same Question For 20 Years Now
Getting into a flow state is how you play your best I used to have outter body experiences when I got into a flow
I am not a Jordan fan, but I give him his due as one of the greatest. It is about my biggest peeve, when critics of great players use the, "They played against plumbers and taxi drivers" type of analogy. That is as ignorant statement as can be made, of any era, but especially the 80s and early 90s.
