Ewing and mutumbo are my 2 favorite players of the 1990s....iconic legends. Man they didn't win 6 nBA titles but they definitely made a huge impression on alot of fans. I know I'm not the only 1..
I remember watching Jordan play. You’d tune in every night knowing he was going to be in the spotlight, that the pressure was on him, and that he’d always be the guy to make or break it. Everyone knew it. And he always made it. Just an amazing athlete to watch. So clutch, every time, and so entertaining. I had the wings poster on my wall as a kid and it was legit inspiring. That’s all I need to say about how amazing Jordan was.
same. i was still a kid, but i was wearing my bulls 23 jersey watching the games with my dad. man, those were great times. not just nostalgia, but truly a golden era of basketball
@Karl with a K nah there were fathers and sons, friends and bros that benefited watching it. sports brings people together, and creates memories. monetarily? still no ppl bet on games all the time lol
I caught this Bulls/Knicks game live on national TV when MJ threw down that dunk on Ewing (beginning at the 3:11 mark). Marv Albert was the announcer and when Jordan did his thing, all Albert could say, "Oh what a move by Jordan!" If you replay it, you'll see that he actually schooled three Knicks together on that single play. Years later I recall Albert saying that was perhaps the single best move he'd ever seen by any player.
@Club Mogambo ; I would have to agree, one or two, like Bird and Magic would do, but that was the first time I'd seen someone evade a double team AND highlight dunk on someone...unbelievable play👍
The 'OTHER' Georgetown center, Dikembe Motombo.....held is own against MJ for six years....without MJ ever dunking on him (MJ had a dunkfest on poor Ewing his whole career)....You gotta give Mobombo credit....MJ 'only' posterized Motombo ONCE in his whole career...whereas, MJ posterized just about every single superstar in his era...SEVERAL TIMES OVER......
@@tmoney0212....I know what I said.....Did you hear what I said??....I said that MJ posterized literally EVERYONE in the NBA SEVERAL TIMES......Motombo had been a victim only ONCE......It was insane enough, but it was ONLY ONCE........The rest of the NBA players were nowhere near so lucky.......
@@criticaltinker In the world of basketball where you had Teams full of Great Players, Not just 1 or 2 and where you barely hear of any Vibrations of them. Some of these Greats that I talk about are still making waves. Dream Teams of today can't even go Undefeated.
The greatest era in basketball. After Jordan retired for the last time, I stopped watching it. But not just because he retired, all the other greats of that era retired around the same time.
March Madness this year was awesome. FAU and U of M playing in the final four, and the almost chance of seeing them play each other was amazing. San Diego State getting to the final game? That is amazing. Crazy times. Fun games. Excellent play. Next year should be interesring. Those schools leveled up to recruitment mode, and less of the homegrowm talent mode. (Edit: nah, not less homegrown...just exponentiated global mode. Hopefully they do not lose too much talent in the draft for the nba. Or hopefully they do maybe.) Epic.
You know what's funny, I was telling a friend of mine the first time I saw Jordan play on tv was a game against the Celtics. And on this particular play, Jordan went up with two hands and literally put the opponents hand in the rim with the ball. I believe it was Reggie Lewis. And he had his hands on the ball as if he was blocking it. But MJ overpowered him at the rim. I was like, "Yo, what the heck!" But I have an even better story. About 20+ years ago I was at my cousin's wedding and the R&B singer Brian McKnight sung at his wedding. I was talking to Brian at the reception and he told me that he played at few days ago with MJ. And I was a huge fan back of MJ back then. He said the one thing that surprised him was how strong MJ was. He was like, "Yo, he is mad strong." That was around 1994-1995.
I can't get over the assist by Longley. The chemistry of that team is still timeless to this day. They were on one for real. Glad I had two vcrs hooked up to see it all!
MJ's prowess and dominance in the 90's were incredible.. Millennials have missed the true GOAT.. Thats why they marvel now at Lebron n Curry but as great as they both are.. MJ is far more superior defensively n offensively No need even to talk about the mindset😉 I was 15 years old very sportive guy and very good at playin soccer in France as a striker in club but one night on canal+ I was able to watch a full game where MJ was playing..I was astonished by the beauty of its game and the smoothness and the air time was so phenomenal !!! I said damn I must start playin hoops For sure I knew and saw Kareem...Magic ..n Bird highlights but none of these great players gave me the envy to switch from soccer to basketball MJ did.. Folks cant understand how MJ made so many european teenagers switch their attention to basketball and NBA in a continent where soccer ( football) is almost a religion.
All the warriors do is set illegal moving screens all day which leaves curry open all the time… obviously curry is a great shooter but he can’t do what Mj did.
@@justinsquibb9030 well truthfully I don't think mj can out shoot curry, mj is definitely very good but when it comes to shooting curry is very good even if he's guarded he somehow connects from deep.
I dont agree with the part Millennials missed MJ in 90's. Only part of them. That was so useless to mention, because it applies only to part of Millennials. Also, part of Gen X missed it too, because they simple didn't care about basketball. So useless to mention...
Jordan changed the atmosphere of the game every time he stepped onto the court. Phenomenally talented and a take no prisoners attitude while maintaining sportsmanship and respect for fellow players. No one touches Jordan. Bird was up there in talent, guts, competitiveness and sheer will, but Jordan had him beat in the flying through the air department.
While it's true Bird couldn't fly all that high, he definitely was NOT an "Air"head....ask Riley who he'd want to take "the big shot." The first sentence you posted applies just as much to Larry, if not more.
Ah the 1980s and early 90s were great times to be alive and be a sports fan. We watched all the greats play in every sport. I was a huge Celtics and Larry Bird fan but there was no doubt watching MJ play, it was a whole other 'ball game'. The man had it all and you've never watched a more exciting basketball game than when Jordan played.
Part of what made the old NBA so great was watching a team get beat in the playoffs year after year by their arch-rival until they finally get tough enough to break through, especially in the East. The Pistons got mashed repeatedly by the Celtics until they broke through. The Bulls were crushed repeatedly by the Pistons until they got tough enough to beat them. And although the Bulls-Knicks was an awesome post season ticket the Knicks couldn't get over that hump. Great times.
That last little bit of Kobe helping Mike up and they are both smiling. You can't tell me that they both didn't knew right there what that game was. it was like when Mike was scorching Bird and Magic at the Dream Team practices. Those two were greats and had big egos but they had to admit the torch was being carried by someone else. Jordan knew it was coming and now it was here.
Nzinn73 uh, Bird was on Mike's team.. The famous practice game had Magic on the other side and he talked smack which lit up Jordan. They were talking about who was the greatest Ang Majic wouldn't say MJ had surpassed him. Larry never had a real issue saying Michael had surpassed him. Larry was unique I think in that respect, he knew exactly how good he was, no more, no less.
You sprinkle in his athletic ability and it’s what makes him the goat. His determination not to lose instead of being determined to win is what fueled his greatness. That’s what sets him apart from anybody who is in the top 5 players lists of all time. I’m so glad I grew up when I did. Got to witness his goatness in real time. It was always so exciting because u never knew what you were going to see next.
After what Jordan said about Kobe in his funeral made me tear up, those guys love each other so much that they pushed themselves to the limits it was like been super corny here like Goku and Vegita.
@@m42037 way to state the obvious. What Mike loved about Kobe so much, was how Kobe was one of it not the only star who never backed down from Mj. He went after Mj and vice Versa. And yes, Mj actually said that.

MJ will always be the Best on my list no matter how others may exceed his records. It's not just because of his accomplishments, trophies and statistics. It's his mental strength, his physical moves and his presence. Many NBA players can move and dunk almost as well as him but his moves are so musculine and graceful.. totally poetic. Absolutely a real pleasure to watch.
@@king-ghost1027 he wasnt, im sorry. If you were to put them together at each others peaks, MJ was way more athletic, Kobe however was a better 3 point shooter and since thats all people think matters these days it makes them not look at everything. MJ was better at everything, but Kobe is the closest ive seen to that (because he literally copied and ran his game off MJ's, and did it really well).
MJ will always have my respect. In Sarasota, he pulled up next to my nephew and I at a red light. He made sure to say a few words to my 12yo nephew. We lived 2 blocks from Ed Smith stadium. Where the Sarasox played. We watched from the fence while he played.
Yep both cheated on they're wives both were pricks saw kobe run past all the little kids at the all star game I believe and not a single high five. Only one that did that go back and look up the video.
Being a Chicagoan and being around during the Jordan days, this was a well made video. And, being respectful no matter what, great ending. RIP to Kobe and all that perished in the helicopter crash.
MJ would almost invent enemies to motivate him. He literally thrived on people who took an adversarial stance on him. Also he once said each game he treated it as if there would be at least 1 person in the crowd who came to see him and it was their first time coming to an MJ game he was a true player and leader all the way through. Friend and worst enemy to see you better and win.
Jesus is the love of your life. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Kobe was great that game. But he didn't score 55 "on Jordan". Jordan only guarded Kobe a handful of times that game. This is one of those stories that people ran with and it became legend. But, scoring 55 is a testament to Kobe's greatness.
Exactly; it was actually more honoring to Jordan, to be able to see his protege’ take the mantle in that way, even against his mentor. Idk who this “rebound” is, but I’m not inclined toward any more of his content.
His Airness locking Zeke out of the Dream Team is the stuff of legend! As for Kobe, if there were no M.J., in my mind he would be the GOAT shooting guard. R.I.P.
I've seen Dr J, Jordan, Kobe and Lebron, 4 generations of incredible ball. Jordan is the GOAT. Bron plays in an era where you don't get mugged every shot you take. James getting to the same pts as Mike in fewer shots doesn't mean anything when you don't have the Pistons trying to kill you every play.
People say that Michael Jordan was feared. You cannot dunk your free throws.... The lane is whiting to 15 feet around the basket.... Goaltending exists. Those were three rules put into the NBA as a direct result of Wilt Chamberlain. Tell me who the goat is again? Did Michael Jordan have three rules put into the NBA to stop him?
@@catalinxnecula Bill Russell and 8 other HOF players. I'd like to hear your Excuses for why Michael Jordan never beat Larry Bird. He never took 1 playoff game off Larry Bird and the Celtics. Your argument is clownish and unresearched. Wilt Chamberlain and 0 help with 0 other All stars , took Bill Russell to 4 game 7's in the Finals against the Celtics. Wilt's teams lost those 4 game 7's by a total of 9 Pts. and 2 of those game 7's were in overtime MJ got swept by the Celtics every single year. Do not come at me with such shallow arguments.
Some players just have that NEXT LEVEL OF PLAY, and when they decide to bring it out, you ain't gonna stop them. MJ was, and is still the poster child for this level of play that few players ever reach.
At the cost of being a horrible, horrible person. I think one can become as great as Jordan without being as mean spirited. It might be harder, but it is possible.
@Basik Yes he did!! The thing that made him great was his ability to do what ever it took to get him there, and he did it. Some people didn't like him because he was full of himself, but you have to think that way and believe that nobody can stop you, if you're gonna be the GOAT!
13:32. The problem with that story is that according to Magic, NOBODY wanted Isiah on the team, because he was an asshole & no one liked him. Magic has said that it was ultimately HIS decision to not have Isiah in the team.
@@popstarresearchingoblivion8778 I mean magic and bird were passed prime too. But michael held the ultimate card,although others didn't want him,the nba wanted michael badly(they knew they could grow sport globally with him competing in OLY). I disliked thomas,but even bck then when my dislike for him was at its height,I wanted him on team over Stockton and I wanted Shaq over Laetner
But I gotta question for you I don't have much knowledge on basket , so who beat who ? Jordan beat Isiah or Isiah beat Jordan 3 in row I couldn't what he says
Wow. I can't believe Michael said that to Kobe. The way Kobe handled it was primo. He didn't whimper or whine about it, he put his head down and went to work.
The Black Mamba knowing that, why u clicked then? Either like the channel or dont and get away and STAY away rather than torturing yourself. make sense?
MJ put fear on all his opponents and he never backed down from any challenge even if he was in his prime or not. All players in his time respected his greatness (unlike someone in his 30s still asking for his damn respect but says he is the GOAT)
You have to give it to Jordan, because his level of mentality and athleticism for the game is what made him a stone cold killer on the court. Sure he struggled early on, but when he was pushed, he pushed back harder. But when you show respect in the face of those who don't show it back, then Isiah had it coming and deserved what he got for being disrespectful towards the sport of basketball. The passing of the torch to Kobe goes to show, Jordan knew he would be the next one to carry on the same values, as Jordan himself. Kobe may not be the next M.J., since there can only be one. But he was the closest thing to M.J. there ever was. {R.I.P to Kobe}.
Kobe scored 0 of his 55 points in Jordan Kobe while 40 year old Jordan was guarding him: 0-6 with 3 TO’s (3 offensive fouls) I wish people would actually WATCH that game..
@@anthonyrivera6694 he did, but he cannot keep doing that while also being the top option in offense at 40yrs old. The point is, this video said '55 on MJ' which is absurd dont you think?
Talking about Ewing being blasted by Jordan his entire career, I'll still give it up to Ewing. He never once backed down from what I can remember. He always brought his best because he was playing against the best.

The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. ✝🌅 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. ✝🌅 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: Matthew 22:2-5 ✝🌅
Exactly, Unlike LeBron James who has a history of personally recruiting superstar-level players to win. Imagine if MJ went around recruiting Hakeem Olajuwon, Karl Malone, Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley ect to the Bulls just to win rings.
There will never be another MJ. Comes from a rough era and wrote the book on what it means to play with style. The true goat.
wrong theres better goats

If you were to put them together at each others peaks, MJ was way more athletic, Kobe however was a better 3 point shooter and since thats all people think matters these days it makes them not look at everything. MJ was better at everything, but Kobe is the closest ive seen to that (because he literally copied and ran his game off MJ's, and did it really well).
@@king-ghost1027 Kobe Bryant is severely overrated.

MJ will always have my respect. In Sarasota, he pulled up next to my nephew and I at a red light. He made sure to say a few words to my 12yo nephew. We lived 2 blocks from Ed Smith stadium. Where the Sarasox played. We watched from the fence while he played.
Luckyyyyyy
He also a large peninsula
Jordan did an amazing eulogy for Kobe in LA. MJ said Kobe was like his little brother. Kobe is the closest thing to being as good as Mike. RIP Kobe.
Kobe was better than jordan

Being a Chicagoan and being around during the Jordan days, this was a well made video. And, being respectful no matter what, great ending.
RIP to Kobe and all that perished in the helicopter crash.
MJ would almost invent enemies to motivate him. He literally thrived on people who took an adversarial stance on him. Also he once said each game he treated it as if there would be at least 1 person in the crowd who came to see him and it was their first time coming to an MJ game he was a true player and leader all the way through. Friend and worst enemy to see you better and win.

MJ is on the top of every goated basketball player
Some say LeBron was a more impressive physical specimen and athlete --- but I think Jordan is still supreme when it came to intimidation of opponents
Kobe was great that game. But he didn't score 55 "on Jordan". Jordan only guarded Kobe a handful of times that game. This is one of those stories that people ran with and it became legend. But, scoring 55 is a testament to Kobe's greatness.
Also dont forget to point out he was playing retirement Michael and not Bulls Michael.

@@ChaosTheorist Kobe dropped 30 on the 98 bulls.

Exactly; it was actually more honoring to Jordan, to be able to see his protege’ take the mantle in that way, even against his mentor. Idk who this “rebound” is, but I’m not inclined toward any more of his content.
His Airness locking Zeke out of the Dream Team is the stuff of legend! As for Kobe, if there were no M.J., in my mind he would be the GOAT shooting guard. R.I.P.
Media contorting the story as usual, trash talking got mj off to prove his rep...
STOP DISTORTING STORIES.......

@@ordinarybear7037 Srsly, what are you talking about? 🤔
It was actually more Magic than Mj.
@@pickle_soup160 According to what source? This video spelled it out in no uncertain terms.
Kobe wasnt Jordan. We all know that. Jordan was something else. We all know that too.
I've seen Dr J, Jordan, Kobe and Lebron, 4 generations of incredible ball. Jordan is the GOAT. Bron plays in an era where you don't get mugged every shot you take. James getting to the same pts as Mike in fewer shots doesn't mean anything when you don't have the Pistons trying to kill you every play.
It's really unfair. Jordan is basically Dr. J with a Steph jumper and the memory of an elephant.
EXACTLY
@@wreckim elephants scared of loins
Lebron James and Michael Jordan should never be mentioned in the same sentence.
Jordan had the greatest coaches
15:35 MJ had a little smile on his face..."That boy's pretty good!" 😂
Michael Jordan the real GOAT 💪
nothing against Kobe, Lebron, Larry Bird, Dr. J, Magic...and so MANY other great NBA players. but Jordan was THE BEST in the history of the NBA.
People say that Michael Jordan was feared.
You cannot dunk your free throws.... The lane is whiting to 15 feet around the basket.... Goaltending exists.
Those were three rules put into the NBA as a direct result of Wilt Chamberlain.
Tell me who the goat is again?
Did Michael Jordan have three rules put into the NBA to stop him?
@@craigwheeler4760 all that greatness and still he's got his ass handed to him by bill russell. go back to sleep now
@@catalinxnecula Bill Russell and 8 other HOF players.
I'd like to hear your Excuses for why Michael Jordan never beat Larry Bird.
He never took 1 playoff game off Larry Bird and the Celtics. Your argument is clownish and unresearched.
Wilt Chamberlain and 0 help with 0 other All stars , took Bill Russell to 4 game 7's in the Finals against the Celtics. Wilt's teams lost those 4 game 7's by a total of 9 Pts. and 2 of those game 7's were in overtime
MJ got swept by the Celtics every single year. Do not come at me with such shallow arguments.
Jordan took that "All's fair in Love and war" to heart on Charles! 😭😂
Some players just have that NEXT LEVEL OF PLAY, and when they decide to bring it out, you ain't gonna stop them. MJ was, and is still the poster child for this level of play that few players ever reach.
Today's NBA is nothing compared to what MJ brought!
@@bluefamily3937 Yeah man!! Glad I was there to watch it!
At the cost of being a horrible, horrible person. I think one can become as great as Jordan without being as mean spirited. It might be harder, but it is possible.
@Basik Yes he did!! The thing that made him great was his ability to do what ever it took to get him there, and he did it. Some people didn't like him because he was full of himself, but you have to think that way and believe that nobody can stop you, if you're gonna be the GOAT!
What a great video on MJ, greatest NBA player in history.
I love these videos, always informative and so intriguing! Thanks for making great videos, keep it up.
Is my music gas or hot garbage
13:32. The problem with that story is that according to Magic, NOBODY wanted Isiah on the team, because he was an asshole & no one liked him. Magic has said that it was ultimately HIS decision to not have Isiah in the team.
Jordan said "if Isiah is on the team, I'm not playing" Chuck said okay.
Besides, the team already had Magic and Stockton as PGs. There was no room for Thomas who had his prime passed
Facts
@@popstarresearchingoblivion8778 I mean magic and bird were passed prime too. But michael held the ultimate card,although others didn't want him,the nba wanted michael badly(they knew they could grow sport globally with him competing in OLY). I disliked thomas,but even bck then when my dislike for him was at its height,I wanted him on team over Stockton and I wanted Shaq over Laetner
But I gotta question for you I don't have much knowledge on basket , so who beat who ? Jordan beat Isiah or Isiah beat Jordan 3 in row I couldn't what he says
Wow. I can't believe Michael said that to Kobe. The way Kobe handled it was primo. He didn't whimper or whine about it, he put his head down and went to work.
"he put his head down and went to work" 😳
Let's just take a moment to appreciate rebound's work
Michael’s super power was a top competitive heart backed by the work ethic to make it happen!
Awesome video for this old timer to remember those days again. Good video.
That Ewing dunk was wicked!
This is why 1990s nba basketball was so exciting! Never missed a game. The y need to bring that physical play back.
The ones who were fortunate to watch the GOAT back in the day knows how amazing that time was.... 🤪🤪
Lets all appreciate the amount of effort this man puts in his videos, amazing. Keep grinding bro, I love the videos
agreed. he puts so much effort and research into his videos. they never fail to make me laugh either.

Comment section full of bots praising the video. Sick.
the famous saying "you reach, i teach" gotta love MJ for that
"They thought they were better than me, so I took that personally" MJ
MJ put fear on all his opponents and he never backed down from any challenge even if he was in his prime or not. All players in his time respected his greatness (unlike someone in his 30s still asking for his damn respect but says he is the GOAT)
Not bird bird set him home everytime

What Made MJ So Good Is His Ability To Steal The Basketball And Shoot It
The narration and editing of this was really amazing, it made it so satisfying to watch
Alternative title: *Every moment Michael Jordan took basketball personally*
4:40. Reggie himself said that Jordan wasn’t even trying in the first half, because the vet players didn’t like the exhibition games.
Oj mayo must've pissed MJ off something serious, because I NEVER heard Mike say "Im the greatest player in the world" 🤯🤯🤯🤯💯💯💯💯💯
MJ was and always will be the real G.O.A.T.
That was one of the most brilliant one-on-one plays I ever saw he humiliated three people
And he never needed those fancy useless time consuming dribbling exhibition to score a bucket.
Jordan cried when he got done in by AI... GOAT tears 😭😭😭
Rebound always dropping good bangers.Keep it up bro!
The legend uploads just as we need him. Love u rebounddd
The greatest, classiest, and most competitive sportsman in history.
ITS A REBOUND SUMMER 🔥
You should do times when Allen Iverson
Humilated his opponents.
Fax
Allen Iverson couldn’t find a team to finish his career. No worse humiliation than that.
Jordan never said he didn’t want Thomas on the squad, he said he wouldn’t play with him. The choice was then made by the committee.
Antonio Daniels was the sickest. Crossed him twice in one drive.
The Bulls with MJ were must see TV. They were the Beatles wherever they went! It was insane! Never replicated since.
My face always lights up when you post! Thank you for these amazing videos! ❤️
You have to give it to Jordan, because his level of mentality and athleticism for the game is what made him a stone cold killer on the court. Sure he struggled early on, but when he was pushed, he pushed back harder. But when you show respect in the face of those who don't show it back, then Isiah had it coming and deserved what he got for being disrespectful towards the sport of basketball.
The passing of the torch to Kobe goes to show, Jordan knew he would be the next one to carry on the same values, as Jordan himself. Kobe may not be the next M.J., since there can only be one. But he was the closest thing to M.J. there ever was. {R.I.P to Kobe}.
MJ stories and BIRD stories are really so entertaining to me. The competitive degree of these two are way above everyone else back then.
When it comes to these videos rebound knows how to entertain us
Kobe scored 0 of his 55 points in Jordan
Kobe while 40 year old Jordan was guarding him:
0-6 with 3 TO’s (3 offensive fouls)
I wish people would actually WATCH that game..
And?? I’ve literally never heard anyone talk about that game as if Kobe was killing MJ… the implication of this comment is very amusing
@@Anthony-iu6xr Did you watch this video? It talks about that game as if Kobe was killing MJ.
It’s still amusing, we as Jordan fans know he was an unmatched psychopath, leaps over everyone else
Why didn't he guard him then? 👀
@@anthonyrivera6694 he did, but he cannot keep doing that while also being the top option in offense at 40yrs old.
The point is, this video said '55 on MJ' which is absurd dont you think?
This is the first time I've seen something like this... pretty incredible!
when the world needed him most he returned!!
I started laughing hysterically when Dikembe asked if he wanted him to go call Scotty
Rebounds is the goat ❤
MJ is the greatest and a forever legend. Great video!
Michael Jordan THE GOAT 🐐 enough said.
I wish I was old enough to see the great MJ play during his prime but it’s awesome to see videos like this
JORDAN is that person you love even though you never met him.
This was savage! The editing, commentary, comedic effort … outstanding
Time for the greatest competitor, you’re going to pull through Mike. 💪
Talking about Ewing being blasted by Jordan his entire career, I'll still give it up to Ewing. He never once backed down from what I can remember. He always brought his best because he was playing against the best.
ya ewing was a hell of a player
Legend
He was a big man that wasn’t his responsibility
Ewing never jumped ship to join up with anyone. Today's game can't say the same.
that nasty ass yardman
MJ.... He was total packages......rebound, shoots, dunks, scores, defences, passs, everythings..... G.O.A.T
Jesus is the love of your life.
The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. ✝🌅
Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. ✝🌅
But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
Matthew 22:2-5 ✝🌅
You forgot TALENT
Yeah. No one can argue that he is GOAT. No player even today can get on that level. He can do anything needed on the court.
Plus he directed the team. Basically a player/coach.
Exactly, Unlike LeBron James who has a history of personally recruiting superstar-level players to win. Imagine if MJ went around recruiting Hakeem Olajuwon, Karl Malone, Shaquille O'Neal and Charles Barkley ect to the Bulls just to win rings.
He is one of the most competitive guys out there. Fr
Name one person more competitive? I can't think of anyone lol He was an absolute killer
