Every single game MJ played was exciting regardless of opponent. We always wanted to see him go up against other allstars, but honestly no matter what you didn’t want to miss a second of a game he played because he was always doing something you never saw before.
It was important to Jordan that he give 100% in every game (or close to it). He recognized that some fans had bought tickets specifically to see HIM, especially at AWAY games. Fathers brought sons just to see him play (in the same way my Dad took me to see soccer player Pele at Washington DC). That's why Jordan had NINE seasons where he played EVERY SINGLE GAME - all 82. Lebron played in every single game ONCE in his entire career.
I am 42 years old, I live millions of Kms away from the US, I have never been to the US. It was not easy to watch him in my country. In those days, global live television broadcasting was primitive. So every single one of his matches was a treasure. And let me tell you: I was just watching him. Just him... The thing that young people don't understand is that we don't hate other players. I wish everyone could be as good as him. If I could watch another basketball player like MJ for the rest of my life, no one would be happier than me. But believe me, man, there isn't one like him yet.
The narrator said that the critics were right about Jordan and used him shooting when double-teamed as an example but ignores that Jordan's team in the 80s consistently failed to score when he did pass it to them. He needed to be selfish to win games then because his team was bad.
Michael Jordan was the biggest star on the planet . When he was on the court . You were watching. No matter who he was playing. Even if you weren’t a Bulls fan or even a Basketball fan 💯✨⭐️
I lived through that era. I saw him live. I watched Mark Price cook him. I watched Larry Bird sweep him; twice. Couldn’t even get 1 win against Bird. He was human. Nike marketing are the true superstars.
Every Game MJ played was worth watching because he played his tail off on both sides of the court while dominating and doing things we’d never seen before… no load management and no taking games lightly.. when he was struggling in a game, he somehow found a way to get it in gear and drop buckets…thanks for sharing! The more research you do on MJ, the more you’ll be amazed at what he did on the court…. 13 seasons with the Bulls = 10 scoring titles, 9 First Team All-Defense, Defensive Player of the Year, led the NBA in Steals 3x while having over 100 Blocks, 2 consecutive All-Star Slam Dunk titles, ‘92 Olympics Gold Medal, 3 All-Star Game MVP Awards, 5 NBA MVP titles, 6 Titles (2-three peats), 6 Finals MVP awards…. He missed most of the ‘86 season to a broken foot, and played a shortened season when came out of retirement from playing baseball…MJ earned these accolades/achievements in 11 full seasons with 1 Team and having Scottie Pippen, All-Star…never lost 3 games in a row from Nov. ‘90-Jun. ‘98, played in all 82 games 8 times…. Still wondering if we’ll see another player equal or surpass this level of performance in the same amount of time or faster… it doesn’t seem likely in my lifetime… 👍😎
Scottie always got enough recognition. I lived through that era no one said Scottie was a bad player he got his credit. Fact is he probably got too much credit and then with Lemedia tryin to diminish Jordan they turned Scottie into something he never was. Scottie was never a number 1 option on a championship team he however was the perfect partner for Michael Jordan however Scottie cant accept that.
Im 46, so I watched MJ from beginning to end I grew up watching him play. Honestly, every game he played was just as exciting as any other to watch live. He seriously did these incredible things every game, at least 3-4 times at minimum even if they lost. So we as kids were glued to every game, but my most exciting games were the 1991 Finals. It was when he beat the Pistons, soon as he and the Bulls got past them we all knew that was the year the Bulls get the ring so we were so excited.
I need an explanation of something you said in this video.. you said "Nobody wins championships by themselves. No even Magic Johnson and Larry Bird won championships by themselves" when every single time people want to argue the GOAT debate on LeChoke James side without fail continue to regurgitate this statement "LeBron James came back from a 3-1 deficit to beat the Warriors in 2016", so how exactly can nobody ever win a title by themselves except for James in 2016? Also this narrative that "Scottie Pippen doesn't get enough credit for his role on the Bulls" is the biggest crock of shit to ever be spoken!!! Nobody leaves his name out of the conversation when speaking about the 2 three-peats!! The man is recognized as the best #2 player in the history of the NBA, 1 of the greatest defender's in NBA history, a member of Dream Team 1 and 2, named as 1 of the top 50 players in NBA history before the Bulls ever won the second 3-peat, had his #33 retired in Chicago, inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame by Michael Jordan and finally was named to the Top 75 greatest players in NBA history!!!! Where exactly is he not getting the credit he deserves? Here's a couple of player's who don't get the credit they deserve. Kevin Love, Kyrie Irving, Dewayne Wade, Chris Bosh, Mario Chalmers, Ray Allen, Anthony Davis and Finally the most disrespected player in history Kobe Bryant!!!! LeChoke James never surpassed Kobe so I'm not sure why he keeps getting mentioned with Jordan by the media
@SutekhDaSteemroller I agree, but I don't understand why people continue to regurgitate this garbage narrative that "Pippen doesn't get the credit he deserves" when in all actuality he just might get more credit than he deserves for the simple fact that Jordan has always made a point to give Pippen his flowers for what he meant to the Bulls
MJ was must see TV, even people that didn’t watch basketball watched basketball to see him play. My dad and I watched all the games on WGN when possible from the 87-88 season until he retired the second time after the second three-peat. There will never be another player like him. Jordan was HIM
Pippen doesn't get enough credit?! Why do LeBron fans always said that, Pippen been getting enough credit from MJ for years despite MJ carrying him for that 98 finals
Simple We lived through that era they didn't. They dont know how much Jordan really carried that team. Scottie had his chance he won 55 games the next year the Bulls were in danger of missing the playoffs and Pippen was pointing at his shoes begging Jordan to come back .
Scottie did not always guard the best player. That’s an asinine point. Sometimes it was Pip, sometimes MJ, sometimes Horace or Rodman, sometimes it was Harps or BJ, or Pax, sometimes it was Luc. It depended on matchup, and often positional. This guy is capping. Scottie was a great defender but no one at the time thought he was a better defender than MJ. West called MJ the best offensive and best defensive player. Pip was great to take some of the burden off for sure. But if they needed a stop on a perimeter player, they often went with MJ.
1 great relative can literally change everything. I had a great uncle on my grandmother's side her brother who was 6'7". It wind up that my father (her son) was 6'4" and im 6"3" and my brother 6'5" but literally everyone else in my family is 5'6" - 5'9"
MJ did not assemble his team ... he played with what he got, and won with it .. thats greatness! IF LBJ STAYED WITH THE CAVS THEN WON 6 CHIPS WITH THEM, he could be in the goat conversation for real .. BUT HE DIDNT😅
What you have to understand, and its hard to do if you didn't see it, it was every night. Like if i told you i saw black panther, or Thor. You wouldn't believe it if you can't see it. It was the most incredible thing you could have seen, in any sport. That's why the say the Michael Jordan of..... That's why those of us who saw it think its F***** ridiculous for that fool or any idiot on tv to tell us he anywhere near MJ.
He got picked before MJ his only highlight, jaja that is funny also Pippen guarded Magic just in game 2. What you need to truly understands how physical the game was and Earvin Magic Johnson would knee and elbow anyone who was defending him
No way that you can say LeBron teammates were Youngblood. 1st Cleveland Stint he had great veterans with him that played their role and went on a run because they had a nice balance and good floor spreading shooters but if you look at his performances in those Finals vs Spurs.. and then He and the Cavs had the #1 seed homecourt advantage throughout the playoffs and he choked both times and left to join Miami. This video’s narration has a lot of disinformation.
I got to your 19 minute mark question. Every game Jordan played in made the world stop. The man was on another level to the point where if your team won you felt grateful that he had an off night.
Every game I got to view was exciting because MJ knew there was somebody in the arena or watching on TV that might only get this single chance to see his talent and competitive hunger and that was extremely important to him. Making sure the fans got his best performance was always a top priority.
Dude, Pippen always got acknowledged for being the 2nd option for the Bulls In fact, Pippen was named one of the 50 greatest players in NBA history over Dominique Wilkins.
Scottie pippen has multiple all NBA's, All 1st team all defenses, voted top 75 player, was selected for the 92 original Dream Team and a 1st ballad Hall of Famer. He gets alot of credit. He's just not Jordan. Period
No Cap! Every game was a must-watch game. Seriously, Sports Centers' "Dunna dunna, dunna dunt" jingle was basically created because of him. TNT's "Inside the NBA" is a carryover from the Jordan era because you couldn't watch Bulls games unless you had WGN or TNT. His stats are from an era when they hand-checked. NO ONE came down the lane without getting elbowed, punched, or hit. There was no flopping. LaBron is great, but the closest thing to MJ is Kobe. I appreciate you learning about the greats. Keep it up, bro.
Keep in mind, Jordan lost more championship opportunities with Pippen vs. Without him in Chicago: Lost without Pippen: 1985, 1986, 1987 Lost with Pippen: 1988, 1989, 1990, 1995 My point? Pippen was no immediate impact
Net rating is a teams overall efficiency calculated by subtracting their defensive rating from their offensive rating.its basically showing how many points a team scores per 100 possessions on average while also accounting for how many points they allow per 100 possessions,giving a single metric to measure a teams overall performance on bothsides of the court.a higher net rating means a more dominant team.
They say "MJ never won without Scottie". While that's true, he also didn't win with Scottie being a part of the team for the 1st 3 years. It took 3 years for Scottie actually being pushed and trained by MJ on how to play defence for Scottie to develop into the best 2nd option for the team. The unanswered question, which will never be answered is: "Who benefited more, MJ or Scottie, by playing alongside each other?" If MJ didn't get Scottie, who's to say that he wouldn't get someone else who he'd push and teach to become as great as Scottie. On the other hand, if Scottie didn't have MJ to push him and teach him, would he become as goo as a player as he was? Answers partially come in the seasons where Scottie played without MJ, but then again those seasons were the ones where he was already built and grown by MJ's influence. So we'll never know what Scottie would be without MJ. But we know what MJ would be without Scottie though, which he already shown in his 1st 6 seasons, before winning the title. =)
The fact that LeBron bombed in 2011 is what takes him out of the GOAT debate. GOATs don't bomb. They may not win, but they show up and they show out. LeBron did not. Plus, LeBron quits on his team and walks off the court before the final buzzer and that's not GOAT attitude at all. GOATs want to win and they want to play as much as they can. LeBron's record of playing all 82 games in a season has little as he has, also takes him out of the GOAT debate. Gotta play if you wanna win. As to the question of what games of Jordan's were the most exciting? All of them. He was quoted as saying that people spent their hard earned money to come see him play so he owed it to them to do his best in every game.
DENNIS RODMAN IS NOT THE GREATEST REBOUNDER OF ALL TIME THAT WOULD BE WILT CHAMBERLAIN AND BILL RUSSELL. WHILE DENNIS ONLY HAD 11,000 REBOUNDS BOTH WILT AND BILL DOUBLED THAT AMOUNT WILT HAD OVER 23 THOUSAND REBOUNDS AND RUSSELL HAD OVER 21 THOUSAND REBOUNDS
Height can be weird. I had/have three cousins, one's 6'5", one's 6'6" and one was 6'11 and 3/4" Their dad was 6'5" and their mom was 5'8." The eldest was 6'7" at 25 years-old when he hit a sudden growth spurt to shoot up to 6'11 and 3/4 inches. His three sons are 6'4" for his eldest boys, they're twins and 6'6" for his youngest. Michael Jordan, in his book Come Fly With Me says that he prayed to be tall and would tie cinder blocks to his ankles and then hang from the monkey bars trying to stretch himself.
Most exciting game, too hard to pick. A number of the Eastern Conference semifinals series had amazing games. The first 3-peat, the whole city lost their minds. The 4th championship after he came back from baseball was also memorable. It was an exciting time to live in Chicago for sure.
The same way Anthony Davis was a average guard here at 6'4". Going to a booty school. Then over 1 summer he became 6'10" and a superstar. Blessing from on high. Pippen was 5'11" and the team manager.
There’s a RUclips video called “Using Numbers To Find The Greatest Season In The NBA” that shows where MJ ranks…. If you can react to that it would shed light on things..🔥
with Jordan it was every game he had fans and nonfans on the edge of there seat waiting to see what he was going to do..i can only liken him to watching barrry sanders running the ball for the lions fans and players on the other team all watched to see what he was going to do
18:53 The most exciting games in my lifetime were NOT professional - they were in the Final Four. The NCAA tournament was SO much more popular than anything the NBA did. I feel bad for the younger generations that never experienced college basketball in the 1980s and 90s. Back when only the very top 1% of players left early for the NBA, college basketball was more popular than the NBA.
That 2nd 3peat is a whole new team except for Scottie. Ponder that. 2nd 3peat with a whole new team. That's why he was an ahole to Steve Kerr, Scott Burrell etc. They didn't go thru Detriot. He had to get them ready. He had to kick a couple asses. All those guys happy they took the whuppins and got dem rings.
Every game Jordan played was most see tv and we'll never see that type of greatness again!!! The media got y'all gassed over the "Phony Goat" LeBum James with all of these regular season records but anyone who's ever played any sport knows that greatness is measured by winning not by stats just look at Patrick Mahomes cuz he's the Jordan of football right damn now 💯🗣🎯
My dad was like 6"4 amd my mom 5"3 and im 5"6 so guess whos height i got lmao.anyway yea i didn't know mj family was that short and its crazy how mj turned out to be 6"6 and he might not have been as good if he was only like 5"11.like allen Iverson was a freak of nature and would of won a ring had shaq and kobe not been on a team together and Iverson did incredible things being as short as he was and i knew from Georgetown he was gonna be special and tim Duncan when he was at waje forrest and sure af both hof.anyway things need to be put on context to truly understand.mj didnt jave a team in the 80s and was required to shoot the ball.tge fact mj and bulls made the playoffs with the help he had was nothing short of a miracle and yes they won cause of mj.alot lbj fans say well mj didnt win a ring till this time and needed pippen but completely dont get that just cause the bulls lost doesn't mean mj didnt dominate cause he did he just didnt have the help and you saw what happened when he did get some help he had 2 3 peats and would of had 8 rings in a row had he not retired in his prime for 2 years cause hakeem and the rockets would not jave beaten that bulls team no way in hell and pippen does get alot if credit but hes an ahole who is always changing his mind about mj.1 interview he says hes the greatest then the next saying mj sucked in the 80s and pippen had an interview recently saying he should be in the goat debate and made some accusations about his greatness that had the dude interviewing him like come on scotti and thats what i was saying.i thoght pippen was a quiet humble dude but hes a cocky ahole and i lost so much respect for pippen.now rodman,ron harper,tony kukoch,horace grant,kerr and Paxton they i liked and like but pippen not even a little bit hut he was a good player but he thinks mj sucks without him.also another thing lbj fans donis undersell the teams mj played in the finals like Portland,jazz ect and they will have you believe all the teams he played only had 1 all star and the truth is Seattle is the only team with 1 all star gary Payton but they had shawn kemp whos a monster and detlif shremph who could shoot.mj and puppen werentge only all-stars on the bulls and every team he played had 2 or more all-stars besides Seattle so just stop with the MJ played garbage teams on the finals cause you gotta remember they had to beat amost all the teams to make the playoffs so its not like they just played the finals team and that's was it.alot of lbj fans were not even born when mj played nor do they do their research like this dude on mj hints why they say mj played plumbers cause they are not true basketball fans and dont know any players names from back then outside of the popular 1s like bird magic mj shaq ECT.99% of nba players young and old and coaches say mj is the goat along with most the population but lbj fans think they know more about what the goat entails more than nba players,coaches and us who watched mj Kobe and lbj play.its like they're just willfully ignorant but hey we all onow the truth so they can think what they want and we will just keep laughing cause they dont know.
ruclips.net/video/vYJOFttAXMo/видео.html , ppl dont really realise that for their 6th chip, with less than a minute to play, MJ drives to the basket for a quick 2, then steal the ball from Malone then hit the game winning shot... 3 crazy plays to finish the game and secure the 2nd 3 peat
Yes Jordan was an a hole to his teammates. He also never asked them to do anything he wasnt willing to do. Plus Phil Jackson wasnt a hard nose coach so that role kinda fell on Jordan. Nobody got mad(except Shaq and Jimmy Butler) with Pat Riley being an a hole or Greg Popovich being an a hole
Not every other series bro. LeBron has a few trash series but nothing as bad as 2011 and in the Finals. So it overshadows his other performances. One really bad one that stands out is 2015 vs Chicago. He shot under 40%FG, 10%3P and averaged over 4 turnovers. Game 6 he played 41 minutes for 15 points shooting 30% and 0/4 from 3. He was outscored by Dellavedova.
@@heavin6586 true…but thanks to MJs scoring abilities and defensive skills, he stole the ball from Kevin McHale which triggered a foul on McHale, MJ made both free throws, to send the game into overtime…after two overtime periods, THE Celtics prevailed and MJ almost won the game for his team…and as a result, MJ won the “Player of the Game” award in a losing effort against the legendary Celtics…it’s a “team” game and MJ didn’t trust his teammates to make a bucket…that mistrust is part of the reason why MJ led his team in: points, assists, rebounds, blocks, and steals as a rookie and in his 3rd season…he hated losing just like Bird did…those were some great games…👍
@stevenaleman7454 Oh, I know, trust me. I grew up in both the Bird and Jordan era. Birds my #1A GOAT and Jordan's basically my #1B. I was just trying to help our young Jordan / Bird reactor see that one man scoring a lot doesn't Necessarily make him " The GOAT" Its all around play and a team sport.... Essentially what you were saying though 😃
@ totally agree…I really wished Bird didn’t suffer this back and foot issues… most today’s basketball newbies don’t realize that Bird finished 2nd 3 years in row before finishing 1st the next 3 years in a row…he was and is the only player to tell his defenders what he was going to do and then literally do it…one of one legend!
We don’t care , MJ was Awesome, your guy isn’t that good to me, LeBron is 7 in my book. He stats padding and a copycat. The doesn’t have an original idea , he’s a follower, the chalk , Spacejam , free throw shot with eyes close and Miss, Jersey 23 He can’t erase Jordan or pass him All these years and he haven’t did he yet. He is ruining his legacy. He looking like a clumsy clown.
As much as I loved the NBA in those days I hated Jordan cause he always destroyed the team I liked or my favorite player. Jordan there were times I was like man come on Jordan but man he was awesome. Bit of a asswhole compared to pampered winey players what you prefer when you want things to go right you have to or you go and achieve it yourself and he did that he went and became aggressive to get the w's. I think Jordan says it best he's happy to be part of the greats. Complete asswholes like Kobe or especially LeBron winey and a asswhole who just needed certain things to win some or most chips Jordan was or is great. If people want to compare Pippen or others to Shaq to defend Kobe your idiots and Kobe though tough was nerdy and way of more of an asswhole and selfish and just look at kings lakers where Kobe was given a chip Kobe and Shaq and Shaq left and it tooka bit to win another. LeBron well once Kobe and Shaq happened started losing interest and LeBron was the nail in coffin he just took everything Kobe did and was worse. Jordan just destroyed small and big players. Every game Jordan played were great and honestly I was a drexler fan and hakeem oh willkins and Jordan just was great.
Yurrr whats good everybody hope yall had a blessed day if yall new here smash that like button and subscribe to the channel!!
Every single game MJ played was exciting regardless of opponent. We always wanted to see him go up against other allstars, but honestly no matter what you didn’t want to miss a second of a game he played because he was always doing something you never saw before.
It was important to Jordan that he give 100% in every game (or close to it). He recognized that some fans had bought tickets specifically to see HIM, especially at AWAY games.
Fathers brought sons just to see him play (in the same way my Dad took me to see soccer player Pele at Washington DC).
That's why Jordan had NINE seasons where he played EVERY SINGLE GAME - all 82.
Lebron played in every single game ONCE in his entire career.
I am 42 years old, I live millions of Kms away from the US, I have never been to the US. It was not easy to watch him in my country. In those days, global live television broadcasting was primitive. So every single one of his matches was a treasure. And let me tell you: I was just watching him. Just him...
The thing that young people don't understand is that we don't hate other players. I wish everyone could be as good as him. If I could watch another basketball player like MJ for the rest of my life, no one would be happier than me. But believe me, man, there isn't one like him yet.

The narrator overall did I a good job but there were some glaring errors on his part too

Still wondering if we’ll see another player equal or surpass this level of performance in the same amount of time or faster… it doesn’t seem likely in my lifetime… 👍😎
Jordan was a monster. Once in a lifetime talent
It was every game because Jordan played hard all the time and never sat out like todays players do.
MJ is THE GOAT…by far…not even close.
Every game! MJ was must see TV and live no matter when he played. He different different!
Consistency is why we watch Michael Jordan
Every GAME!!!
Scottie always got enough recognition. I lived through that era no one said Scottie was a bad player he got his credit. Fact is he probably got too much credit and then with Lemedia tryin to diminish Jordan they turned Scottie into something he never was. Scottie was never a number 1 option on a championship team he however was the perfect partner for Michael Jordan however Scottie cant accept that.
Scottie Pippen is one of the greatest 2 way SF of all time
Brotha, let me help u owwt... this man was so guuud he took the swoosh mark off his nike shoes. Ant no other player has done that.
Im 46, so I watched MJ from beginning to end I grew up watching him play. Honestly, every game he played was just as exciting as any other to watch live. He seriously did these incredible things every game, at least 3-4 times at minimum even if they lost. So we as kids were glued to every game, but my most exciting games were the 1991 Finals. It was when he beat the Pistons, soon as he and the Bulls got past them we all knew that was the year the Bulls get the ring so we were so excited.
MJ ❤️🔥👑
Honestly, back then, every Bulls game was a must-see tv
I need an explanation of something you said in this video.. you said "Nobody wins championships by themselves. No even Magic Johnson and Larry Bird won championships by themselves" when every single time people want to argue the GOAT debate on LeChoke James side without fail continue to regurgitate this statement "LeBron James came back from a 3-1 deficit to beat the Warriors in 2016", so how exactly can nobody ever win a title by themselves except for James in 2016? Also this narrative that "Scottie Pippen doesn't get enough credit for his role on the Bulls" is the biggest crock of shit to ever be spoken!!! Nobody leaves his name out of the conversation when speaking about the 2 three-peats!! The man is recognized as the best #2 player in the history of the NBA, 1 of the greatest defender's in NBA history, a member of Dream Team 1 and 2, named as 1 of the top 50 players in NBA history before the Bulls ever won the second 3-peat, had his #33 retired in Chicago, inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame by Michael Jordan and finally was named to the Top 75 greatest players in NBA history!!!! Where exactly is he not getting the credit he deserves? Here's a couple of player's who don't get the credit they deserve. Kevin Love, Kyrie Irving, Dewayne Wade, Chris Bosh, Mario Chalmers, Ray Allen, Anthony Davis and Finally the most disrespected player in history Kobe Bryant!!!! LeChoke James never surpassed Kobe so I'm not sure why he keeps getting mentioned with Jordan by the media
Probably the best 2 way SF of all time if not top 3
@SutekhDaSteemroller I agree, but I don't understand why people continue to regurgitate this garbage narrative that "Pippen doesn't get the credit he deserves" when in all actuality he just might get more credit than he deserves for the simple fact that Jordan has always made a point to give Pippen his flowers for what he meant to the Bulls
When Jordan got to the hall of fame he thank Scottie for being there along the side of jordan to win 6 rings!
Just to clarify, the "flu" game was actually food poisoning from the takeout he ordered before the game
MJ was must see TV, even people that didn’t watch basketball watched basketball to see him play. My dad and I watched all the games on WGN when possible from the 87-88 season until he retired the second time after the second three-peat. There will never be another player like him. Jordan was HIM
during that era we love EVERY GAME he have, because every single game was so GOOD!
Pippen doesn't get enough credit?! Why do LeBron fans always said that, Pippen been getting enough credit from MJ for years despite MJ carrying him for that 98 finals
Simple We lived through that era they didn't. They dont know how much Jordan really carried that team. Scottie had his chance he won 55 games the next year the Bulls were in danger of missing the playoffs and Pippen was pointing at his shoes begging Jordan to come back .

West called MJ the best offensive and best defensive player. Pip was great to take some of the burden off for sure. But if they needed a stop on a perimeter player, they often went with MJ.
Jordan shot a higher FG% than his team every year, many considerably higher.
His shot attempts were justified.
Every game was exciting so entertaining
1 great relative can literally change everything. I had a great uncle on my grandmother's side her brother who was 6'7". It wind up that my father (her son) was 6'4" and im 6"3" and my brother 6'5" but literally everyone else in my family is 5'6" - 5'9"
MJ did not assemble his team ... he played with what he got, and won with it .. thats greatness! IF LBJ STAYED WITH THE CAVS THEN WON 6 CHIPS WITH THEM, he could be in the goat conversation for real .. BUT HE DIDNT😅
Not only did he play with what he got he made them better every day and demanded them to get better and pushed them
What you have to understand, and its hard to do if you didn't see it, it was every night. Like if i told you i saw black panther, or Thor. You wouldn't believe it if you can't see it. It was the most incredible thing you could have seen, in any sport. That's why the say the Michael Jordan of.....
That's why those of us who saw it think its F***** ridiculous for that fool or any idiot on tv to tell us he anywhere near MJ.
💯💯💯☑️
Due to my age I remember most fondly the Jazz series. Every game was greatness.
He got picked before MJ his only highlight, jaja that is funny also Pippen guarded Magic just in game 2. What you need to truly understands how physical the game was and Earvin Magic Johnson would knee and elbow anyone who was defending him
😂😂😂😂😂
The beginning is funny asl bro😂
Every game was a highlight reel, but there was nothing like Bulls vs Knicks on a Sunday NBA on NBC during the 90s!
No way that you can say LeBron teammates were Youngblood. 1st Cleveland Stint he had great veterans with him that played their role and went on a run because they had a nice balance and good floor spreading shooters but if you look at his performances in those Finals vs Spurs.. and then He and the Cavs had the #1 seed homecourt advantage throughout the playoffs and he choked both times and left to join Miami. This video’s narration has a lot of disinformation.
I got to your 19 minute mark question.
Every game Jordan played in made the world stop. The man was on another level to the point where if your team won you felt grateful that he had an off night.
Every game I got to view was exciting because MJ knew there was somebody in the arena or watching on TV that might only get this single chance to see his talent and competitive hunger and that was extremely important to him. Making sure the fans got his best performance was always a top priority.
Dude, Pippen always got acknowledged for being the 2nd option for the Bulls
In fact, Pippen was named one of the 50 greatest players in NBA history over Dominique Wilkins.
Scottie pippen has multiple all NBA's, All 1st team all defenses, voted top 75 player, was selected for the 92 original Dream Team and a 1st ballad Hall of Famer. He gets alot of credit. He's just not Jordan. Period
No Cap! Every game was a must-watch game. Seriously, Sports Centers' "Dunna dunna, dunna dunt" jingle was basically created because of him. TNT's "Inside the NBA" is a carryover from the Jordan era because you couldn't watch Bulls games unless you had WGN or TNT. His stats are from an era when they hand-checked. NO ONE came down the lane without getting elbowed, punched, or hit. There was no flopping. LaBron is great, but the closest thing to MJ is Kobe. I appreciate you learning about the greats. Keep it up, bro.
God made him 6'6 bro!! Just like God created Mike Tyson and Michael Jackson!! There's a reason why the phrase "GOD GIVEN TALENT" EXISTS 💯🗣🎯
Keep in mind, Jordan lost more championship opportunities with Pippen vs. Without him in Chicago:
Lost without Pippen: 1985, 1986, 1987
Lost with Pippen: 1988, 1989, 1990, 1995
My point? Pippen was no immediate impact
Net rating is a teams overall efficiency calculated by subtracting their defensive rating from their offensive rating.its basically showing how many points a team scores per 100 possessions on average while also accounting for how many points they allow per 100 possessions,giving a single metric to measure a teams overall performance on bothsides of the court.a higher net rating means a more dominant team.
They say "MJ never won without Scottie". While that's true, he also didn't win with Scottie being a part of the team for the 1st 3 years. It took 3 years for Scottie actually being pushed and trained by MJ on how to play defence for Scottie to develop into the best 2nd option for the team. The unanswered question, which will never be answered is: "Who benefited more, MJ or Scottie, by playing alongside each other?" If MJ didn't get Scottie, who's to say that he wouldn't get someone else who he'd push and teach to become as great as Scottie. On the other hand, if Scottie didn't have MJ to push him and teach him, would he become as goo as a player as he was? Answers partially come in the seasons where Scottie played without MJ, but then again those seasons were the ones where he was already built and grown by MJ's influence. So we'll never know what Scottie would be without MJ. But we know what MJ would be without Scottie though, which he already shown in his 1st 6 seasons, before winning the title. =)
New sub here from philippines nice content
Thanks for subbing!💯
I gotta get me a Bowie jersey. You crack me up. Stay awesome.
A small correction to MJ's '91 finals stats: he had 11.2 APG second to only Magic with 12.4
Did people not watch Jordan? Are there seriously people that never watched Jordan claiming LeBron is better???
The fact that LeBron bombed in 2011 is what takes him out of the GOAT debate. GOATs don't bomb. They may not win, but they show up and they show out. LeBron did not. Plus, LeBron quits on his team and walks off the court before the final buzzer and that's not GOAT attitude at all. GOATs want to win and they want to play as much as they can. LeBron's record of playing all 82 games in a season has little as he has, also takes him out of the GOAT debate. Gotta play if you wanna win.
As to the question of what games of Jordan's were the most exciting? All of them. He was quoted as saying that people spent their hard earned money to come see him play so he owed it to them to do his best in every game.
DENNIS RODMAN IS NOT THE GREATEST REBOUNDER OF ALL TIME THAT WOULD BE WILT CHAMBERLAIN AND BILL RUSSELL. WHILE DENNIS ONLY HAD 11,000 REBOUNDS BOTH WILT AND BILL DOUBLED THAT AMOUNT WILT HAD OVER 23 THOUSAND REBOUNDS AND RUSSELL HAD OVER 21 THOUSAND REBOUNDS
It was Wilt.
Height can be weird. I had/have three cousins, one's 6'5", one's 6'6" and one was 6'11 and 3/4" Their dad was 6'5" and their mom was 5'8." The eldest was 6'7" at 25 years-old when he hit a sudden growth spurt to shoot up to 6'11 and 3/4 inches. His three sons are 6'4" for his eldest boys, they're twins and 6'6" for his youngest. Michael Jordan, in his book Come Fly With Me says that he prayed to be tall and would tie cinder blocks to his ankles and then hang from the monkey bars trying to stretch himself.
Every game is entertaining.
They say he was even harder at practice and held his teammates accountable
The growth spurt comment happened to me too. I went from 5'8 to 6'6 over a summer vacation heading into 11th grade.
Every game you didnt want to blink especially 4th quarter which was his time when it counted
Most exciting game, too hard to pick. A number of the Eastern Conference semifinals series had amazing games. The first 3-peat, the whole city lost their minds. The 4th championship after he came back from baseball was also memorable. It was an exciting time to live in Chicago for sure.
The same way Anthony Davis was a average guard here at 6'4". Going to a booty school. Then over 1 summer he became 6'10" and a superstar.
Blessing from on high. Pippen was 5'11" and the team manager.
Any time he was on the court i was a giddy kid
Bird will always be my GOAT but. I can say
Bird 1A
MJ 1B
Its just impossible to definitively say because they had completely different styles.....
LeBron’s not even the statistical GOAT they did a video on that as well
There’s a RUclips video called “Using Numbers To Find The Greatest Season In The NBA” that shows where MJ ranks…. If you can react to that it would shed light on things..🔥
You can’t win by themself. *Dirk enters chat*
Jordan is the GOAT.
with Jordan it was every game he had fans and nonfans on the edge of there seat waiting to see what he was going to do..i can only liken him to watching barrry sanders running the ball for the lions fans and players on the other team all watched to see what he was going to do
18:53 The most exciting games in my lifetime were NOT professional - they were in the Final Four.
The NCAA tournament was SO much more popular than anything the NBA did.
I feel bad for the younger generations that never experienced college basketball in the 1980s and 90s.
Back when only the very top 1% of players left early for the NBA, college basketball was more popular than the NBA.
Every game was Must Watch TV!!
Man, I wish I could play Basketball like MJ at his worst... that would suffice.
MJs height...? Alien DNA!
😂😂😂😭
Every game. He didn’t take games off
John paxson got a wide open shot because mj was doubled and mj assist
That 2nd 3peat is a whole new team except for Scottie. Ponder that. 2nd 3peat with a whole new team. That's why he was an ahole to Steve Kerr, Scott Burrell etc. They didn't go thru Detriot. He had to get them ready. He had to kick a couple asses. All those guys happy they took the whuppins and got dem rings.
Every game Jordan played was most see tv and we'll never see that type of greatness again!!! The media got y'all gassed over the "Phony Goat" LeBum James with all of these regular season records but anyone who's ever played any sport knows that greatness is measured by winning not by stats just look at Patrick Mahomes cuz he's the Jordan of football right damn now 💯🗣🎯
Pippen didn't have win ,killer instinct
💯
Every game never lost 3 in a row and he played every game
MJ the best ever 🙂
That's God bro
Every Game was exciting. You could not wait for the next Game for him to Play. It was Box Office to watch him Play.
The Kansas City chiefs remind me of the 90 Bulls.
my mo is 5'0 my pops is 5'9 im 6'2 on my father side his sister is 5'11 and her son is 6'6 is in the family genes
And neither did LeBron. You forgot to add him
I’m not shitting on Lebron or Kobe. MJ was a God, but he never beat Bird in the playoffs…
Hi nosaa
Whats good!!!
My dad was like 6"4 amd my mom 5"3 and im 5"6 so guess whos height i got lmao.anyway yea i didn't know mj family was that short and its crazy how mj turned out to be 6"6 and he might not have been as good if he was only like 5"11.like allen Iverson was a freak of nature and would of won a ring had shaq and kobe not been on a team together and Iverson did incredible things being as short as he was and i knew from Georgetown he was gonna be special and tim Duncan when he was at waje forrest and sure af both hof.anyway things need to be put on context to truly understand.mj didnt jave a team in the 80s and was required to shoot the ball.tge fact mj and bulls made the playoffs with the help he had was nothing short of a miracle and yes they won cause of mj.alot lbj fans say well mj didnt win a ring till this time and needed pippen but completely dont get that just cause the bulls lost doesn't mean mj didnt dominate cause he did he just didnt have the help and you saw what happened when he did get some help he had 2 3 peats and would of had 8 rings in a row had he not retired in his prime for 2 years cause hakeem and the rockets would not jave beaten that bulls team no way in hell and pippen does get alot if credit but hes an ahole who is always changing his mind about mj.1 interview he says hes the greatest then the next saying mj sucked in the 80s and pippen had an interview recently saying he should be in the goat debate and made some accusations about his greatness that had the dude interviewing him like come on scotti and thats what i was saying.i thoght pippen was a quiet humble dude but hes a cocky ahole and i lost so much respect for pippen.now rodman,ron harper,tony kukoch,horace grant,kerr and Paxton they i liked and like but pippen not even a little bit hut he was a good player but he thinks mj sucks without him.also another thing lbj fans donis undersell the teams mj played in the finals like Portland,jazz ect and they will have you believe all the teams he played only had 1 all star and the truth is Seattle is the only team with 1 all star gary Payton but they had shawn kemp whos a monster and detlif shremph who could shoot.mj and puppen werentge only all-stars on the bulls and every team he played had 2 or more all-stars besides Seattle so just stop with the MJ played garbage teams on the finals cause you gotta remember they had to beat amost all the teams to make the playoffs so its not like they just played the finals team and that's was it.alot of lbj fans were not even born when mj played nor do they do their research like this dude on mj hints why they say mj played plumbers cause they are not true basketball fans and dont know any players names from back then outside of the popular 1s like bird magic mj shaq ECT.99% of nba players young and old and coaches say mj is the goat along with most the population but lbj fans think they know more about what the goat entails more than nba players,coaches and us who watched mj Kobe and lbj play.its like they're just willfully ignorant but hey we all onow the truth so they can think what they want and we will just keep laughing cause they dont know.
Looks like it's time to hit the VOYAGER
ruclips.net/video/vYJOFttAXMo/видео.html , ppl dont really realise that for their 6th chip, with less than a minute to play, MJ drives to the basket for a quick 2, then steal the ball from Malone then hit the game winning shot... 3 crazy plays to finish the game and secure the 2nd 3 peat
PLEASE REACT TO ALLEN IVERSON AI was something unreal when he came in the league NO ONE COULD GUARD HIM!!!!!!
i already did!
GODs CHOSEN ONEEEE
Yes Jordan was an a hole to his teammates. He also never asked them to do anything he wasnt willing to do. Plus Phil Jackson wasnt a hard nose coach so that role kinda fell on Jordan. Nobody got mad(except Shaq and Jimmy Butler) with Pat Riley being an a hole or Greg Popovich being an a hole
Please react to Michael Jordans Bulls Ultimate Mixed Tape. Please also watch the Video of the Time a Non-NBA Michael Jordan Dominated NBA Allstars
I already did
His height was god's plan. No doubt
every game
Not every other series bro. LeBron has a few trash series but nothing as bad as 2011 and in the Finals. So it overshadows his other performances. One really bad one that stands out is 2015 vs Chicago. He shot under 40%FG, 10%3P and averaged over 4 turnovers. Game 6 he played 41 minutes for 15 points shooting 30% and 0/4 from 3. He was outscored by Dellavedova.
Paxton what like a curry in the area.
Probably skip a generation along the bloodline. Some in that family line was tall.
But, when Jordan scored 63 on Boston, Boston still won...
Ikrrr that's insane haha
@@heavin6586 true…but thanks to MJs scoring abilities and defensive skills, he stole the ball from Kevin McHale which triggered a foul on McHale, MJ made both free throws, to send the game into overtime…after two overtime periods, THE Celtics prevailed and MJ almost won the game for his team…and as a result, MJ won the “Player of the Game” award in a losing effort against the legendary Celtics…it’s a “team” game and MJ didn’t trust his teammates to make a bucket…that mistrust is part of the reason why MJ led his team in: points, assists, rebounds, blocks, and steals as a rookie and in his 3rd season…he hated losing just like Bird did…those were some great games…👍
@stevenaleman7454 Oh, I know, trust me. I grew up in both the Bird and Jordan era. Birds my #1A GOAT and Jordan's basically my #1B. I was just trying to help our young Jordan / Bird reactor see that one man scoring a lot doesn't Necessarily make him " The GOAT" Its all around play and a team sport....
Essentially what you were saying though 😃
@ totally agree…I really wished Bird didn’t suffer this back and foot issues… most today’s basketball newbies don’t realize that Bird finished 2nd 3 years in row before finishing 1st the next 3 years in a row…he was and is the only player to tell his defenders what he was going to do and then literally do it…one of one legend!
@stevenaleman7454 Yup. But, I am sooo glad that these guys are taking the time to go back and research how things actually were before this era.. 😀
So you can say it's the players it's the teams and it wasn't the help of the NBA for a team any player to be great
Lebum, leflop, lebrick, lecomplain.
We don’t care , MJ was Awesome, your guy isn’t that good to me, LeBron is 7 in my book. He stats padding and a copycat. The doesn’t have an original idea , he’s a follower, the chalk , Spacejam , free throw shot with eyes close and Miss, Jersey 23 He can’t erase Jordan or pass him All these years and he haven’t did he yet. He is ruining his legacy. He looking like a clumsy clown.
As much as I loved the NBA in those days I hated Jordan cause he always destroyed the team I liked or my favorite player. Jordan there were times I was like man come on Jordan but man he was awesome. Bit of a asswhole compared to pampered winey players what you prefer when you want things to go right you have to or you go and achieve it yourself and he did that he went and became aggressive to get the w's. I think Jordan says it best he's happy to be part of the greats. Complete asswholes like Kobe or especially LeBron winey and a asswhole who just needed certain things to win some or most chips Jordan was or is great. If people want to compare Pippen or others to Shaq to defend Kobe your idiots and Kobe though tough was nerdy and way of more of an asswhole and selfish and just look at kings lakers where Kobe was given a chip Kobe and Shaq and Shaq left and it tooka bit to win another. LeBron well once Kobe and Shaq happened started losing interest and LeBron was the nail in coffin he just took everything Kobe did and was worse. Jordan just destroyed small and big players. Every game Jordan played were great and honestly I was a drexler fan and hakeem oh willkins and Jordan just was great.
