After losing in the playoffs by the Pistons for a third year in a row, MJ still shows great sportsmanship by congratulating the Pistons at the end. They just don't have enough of that in today's game. ..
What amazes me the most is how MJ, whose inside was a mix off sadness, anger, and disappointment could keep his composure and just look forward, without complaining. Which he had the right to do, since his team was incredible subpar this game, while the Pistons keep his usual dirty game. Is this kind of attitude that made him the best.
Win or loss, MJ was still a great sport. They were 1 game away from an NBA Finals appearance. So close. Yet he still managed to keep his poise after this heartbreaking loss. Shook the Bad Boys' hands and did not run to the bus like a baby.
I watched that post game interview from my couch as a child in Detroit and I made fun of Jordan during the interview I loved the bad boy pistons but in that moment I became one of the most die-hard Jordan fans on earth I literally mean that. My walls stayed plastered w Jordan posters for the next 10 years into high school.,I only wore Jordans,I only went to the Palace of Auburn Hills when the Bulls came to town. For Christmas I asked only for league pass to watch the Bulls. As an adult I think Jordan is a bit jaded as a person but I'll forever be in debt to the memories and inspiration he gave me. It all started in that last interview of this video. My God time flies.
MJ has at a minimum three players challenging him on every possession, he's weaving through intense physical defense time and time again, and yet he still has enough energy to press the ball-handlers full court. Unreal.
What class. Go to 10:20 and just sit there in awe of the player that Jordan was. Sure, OFF CAMERA, Jordan went into rage mode and drilled his team on the bus. But in public, he was all class. Combine this man with the basketball talent he had.... perfect athlete.
Wow. I find it funny how it's not in the moment, but later I see the most firm evidence of Jordan's greatness as a competitor. When you look over all of the events of his career, this is the moment where he was more tested than ever before, and we all know how he responded from here. LeBron may have a moment like this, in terms of a "Last season before breakthrough", and maybe we have now seen it. But he'll never have broken through with the team that drafted him. That's a great accomplishment.
The Bulls' last playoff series loss until the 1994 Eastern Conference Semifinals to the New York Knicks. It would be MJ's last playoff series loss until the 1995 Eastern Conference Semifinals to the Orlando Magic. However, it would be his final playoff series loss of his career when he has played a full season.
the last 40 seconds of this video is evidence as to WHY Michael Jordan was the best ever. No bitching, no whining, no......leaving the court like a petulant five year old before the end of the game......a true champion.
after this day the man became the man this is what he needed to become the man after this loss the rest was forever history and what he did not know at the time that lucky number 6 was on the way
The Interview at the end showed just how much Jordan had great poise and was a true competitor. Kinda unusual to interview the losing player in 1990, especially a game 7. I'm sure most players don't want to be in that situation and thinking "I just lost game 7 to this team I can't beat yet"....but he was calm, he knew he was gonna get back and after winning six titles later on, he never looked back...
Exactly! Finally a man with 100% truth on this subject. Jordan was in-and-all and all-in-all and without Jordan, the Bulls would be a lotto team or a first round exit at best with those guys. The Pistons would have wound up playing against Cleveland, New York or Philadelphia in '89, '90, and '91.
Michael Jordan is pure class. After being beat down all game long still has the ability to say the right thing.

I don't think there's ever been a more competitive player and probably never will be.

Wait, 31 points - one below his series average? He averaged 32 a game against the Bad Boys Pistons? He WAS great.
Only Kobe is this good!

Yes he did ripped his teammates, and look what it resulted? 3-peat
