Yeah, as he got closer to 93 his athleticism fell off a tiny tiny bit but his basketball IQ picked up a bit. I would agree those are his best years. That said, he was just a complete beast his whole career with the bulls, so it feels like every year was his best year, even though it wasn't. MJ was unbelievable.
I was old enough to see his 2nd 3 peat as a very young boy, but I wish I was older so I could have seen him play in the 80's and early 90s. Definitely lucky to have been able to watch MJ his whole career or most of it.
Yeah, those were likely peak. Every single year with the bulls seemed peak and amazing though. He was just a freak every year. The year he came back from baseball and changed his number to 45 you could see he was definitely rusty and not playing as well. That was the only year he was struggling and not playing his best. He worked like a maniac that summer and made it for up big time next year giving the bulls a 72-10 record and making them the greatest team in history. I have heard people say that his best year considering how good the bulls were.
Actually I think this was the most important game in MJ's career. If the bulls lose, the go down 0-3, Jackson is probably sacked, and maybe pippen gets traded. The bulls looked worse in the first 2 games in 1990 than they did in 1989, when they won one in Detroit. So against the Pistons it looked like the triangle was a step backwards instead of forwards. And they go down by 14 in the 3rd, and then MJ takes over. The second half of this game MJ saved the 90's dynasty.
Yea had Pippen been feeling good in game 7 they couldve beaten Detroit in 1990. Grant, Cartwright, Hodges and Armstrong played poorly in that 7th game.
@@mikebuckets yeah they were the 92 Knicks vs the 92 Bulls just overwhelmed by the Game 7 experience... One game away and still coming better late than never in 91 and then made the most of the 90's.
He had to get over that fear of being fouled so hard an mentally develop. So the wait was well worth it because when he fully developed the NBA was in a shit load of TROUBLE. Because that's all Jordan needed was a reliable sidekick.
No, let me correct this title. Unstoppable would only apply for the guy who was not stopped. The Pistons won in convincing fashion. It's a 7 game series.
And how is a guy who was the best player in all 4 playoff series vs the Pistons(1988,89,90,91) stopped exactly? Teams lose, not players. Jordan was unstoppable but the Bulls weren't. Pistons won in convincing fashion in 1988 and even 1989, but not 1990.
It's a team game man. MJ was unstoppable, but one guy can't win the game for his whole team every time. MJ was so beyond any player in basketball or sports as a whole that it's almost shocking. People aren't joking when they talk about how unbelievable MJ was. Most people were shocked and couldn't believe what they were seeing after watching him for multiple years.
only correction needed is your perspective. MJ was unstoppable, it was the rest of the team that was stopped. Especially soft Pippen, who ran and hid every time Detroit came out to play. If he had some balls, the Bulls could've won this series
I love MJ but this is basically what Lebron went through before championships or even in the finals him doing everything he can and nobody stepping up 🤷🏾♂️ and btw pippen is not soft he had a migraine and it doesn’t matter they wasn’t beating the pistons even if he didn’t have a migraine the pistons was a Better team
@@FlyAwayChi ummm how was Miami before he got there besides winning in 2006?? Lol they were out in the first round on many occasions and missed the playoffs in 2008 also I love d wade but he was basically showing how great he was and losing so I believe they needed Lebron just like he needed them just because he joined the heat doesn’t diminish him at all Of course MJ was better be also had better teams and guys stepped up for him unlike some teams for Lebron 🤷🏿♂️so it is what it is
@@williemoffett6090 You sound crazy as hell and your comment makes no sense whatsoever..Dwayne led his team to a championship in only his 3rd year and got Finals MVP, so LeBron needed Dwayne Wade more than he needed him .. Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh were all star superstars for their teams. that is the equivalent of Mike going to play with Clyde Drexler and Charles Barkley in his prime..how does that not diminish LeBron?? On top of that to STILL choke under pressure and lose at home! And better teams? Please, LeBron has played with the most future Hall of Famers in the history of basketball. Would u knock it off?
@@FlyAwayChi did you not see when I said they needed each other and yes d wade led Miami to a championship we all get that and acknowledge that I said he was a Great player but still he was out in the first round after that and yes Lebron as played with hof but I SAID BETTER TEAMS NOT WHO HE PLAYED WITH YOU CAN PLAY WITH GREAT PLAYERS AND YOUR TEAM STILL ISNT BUILT TO WIN MJ PLAYED ON TEAMS BUILT TO WIN NOT JUST NAMES SO YOU SOUND CRAZY AS HELL ONCE AGAIN LEBRON WAS NEEDED AND AFTER HE LEFT MIAMI AND CLEAVELAND they sucked until this year CLEAVELAND was nothing really so y’all can use that all y’all want to he played with this guy and that guy still the team has to play up to par so once again Lebron is top 2 or 3 and continue to witness greatness and hate 🤷🏿♂️
From '87-'93 or so, he was completely unstoppable, peak of his athleticism and attacking the rim.

GOAT
Not just in basketball in All of Sport's.
" It is embarrassing to the league that one player is that good "

Imagine prime MJ in todays NBA he is a basketball God
that playoff energy is amazing
Mj was not human. 1 man with this much talent. What privilege it was to watch him.

@ 2:32 MJ MAKES AN INCREDIBLE SHOTAND THE BULLS BENCH ARE LIKE .. " MEH"...
They have seen better
They use to it
it's amazing how he cant go left but goes left at the beginning of the game and finishes
86 to 93 were all great and peak years.

Best mj by far
That one of his best games

@@cristiancandru8610 important game, but getting rid of Pippen and Jackson might be a stretch.
real playoff intensity
4-3 but still 🐐
Rodman at this time is probably the greatest on-ball defender of all time. He was so quick and explosive that even if you passed he was still on you.
The Bulls were ready to topple the Bad Boys in 90' but Pippen still needed another season to cast aside his fears and become a star.
HoustonIsImmortal ....They lost. That's it.
Yea had Pippen been feeling good in game 7 they couldve beaten Detroit in 1990. Grant, Cartwright, Hodges and Armstrong played poorly in that 7th game.
Fears? He had a migraine in game 7 lol
@@olliestagg04 Jordan scored 38 with food poisoning game 5 of the 97 finals. Pippen definitely wasn’t no 🐐 but he could’ve played better.
@@mikebuckets yeah they were the 92 Knicks vs the 92 Bulls just overwhelmed by the Game 7 experience...
One game away and still coming better late than never in 91 and then made the most of the 90's.

That possession at 1:25 was so SICK! 🐐
If only Pippen was tougher. He reallly pissed me off this series.

That 3-pointer at 6:03 is so pretty. Give Cartwright a little credit for stepping out and setting the pick too.
6:00 Steph Curry
Someone please tell me the exact model of Jordan 4s Mj is wearing🙏
At 5:43 there would probably be a flagrant, fine, suspension now. Then, just a foul.
its amazing how he cant shoot threes but the teams dont back all the way off of him and let him shoot all day

A tough 7 game series is not convincing fashion. A 4 game sweep is though

According to LeBron fans, Jordan can't go left or shoot 3s. How ignorant and delusional they are.
Still got your ass kicked Mike.
Bad Boys whooped em three straight years. i got a kick out of the shit. 😂😂😂
Then the BULLS pulled out a broom and the BAD BOYS got swept like trash on the floor never to return! LOVED THAT SHIT!!!
