'89 Lakers are what cost Riley his coaching job in LA. He over worked the team. Byron got injured during the workouts and Magic, who was sore from those work outs, got injured in game 1.

Bad boy le media talking points of just bitter 70 legends like george gervin Julius irving that nba set up mike meaning top nba offical commissioner then on down they change the rules for jordan and people with similar skillset for one one play yarda yarda etc.... yes but the league was most physical late 90 early 2000 but the 94 rating was worst then what we have today so yes nba is a business not a sport entertainment

Such an embaressment reading so much people trashing the guy. No true basketball lover seen in this comment section. Channel clearly hates the guy. You are all so sad.

Ant-Man is Not the new JORDAN. NO-1 has ever been. Thats an unattainable feat. Show me a player with a similar bag as MJ---> plus the Large hands/ superior ball control. It does NOT exist, now or EVER.

lebron, king of travelling and turnovers

I have a simple point: the man can’t play forever!!! Kareem was 40 in the Celtics series. Smfh.

5:21 terrible leader....can't wait til he leaves the Lakers

Does he yell hey when he shoots three's as well?

In 1998 on the way to the finals Jazz swept Lakers. Those Lakers had 5 all-stars on a team: Rick Fox, Nick Van Exel, Eddie Jones, Kobe Bryant, Shaq. This just speaks volumes how strong the Jazz were. It took tremendous effort from MJ and the Bulls to beat them, while Pippen was battling injury.

Ant is good, but not quite the same level of the black Jesus😂

perfect so they will not keep him on set

"That eye lash that flew into my eye almost knocked me out ref" -LeFlop

A great underachiever "superstar" paid by the lakers to win championships and only able to win the Funny bubble championship. A mockery to the lakers legacy regardless of changing the roster to add another old "superstar". His greatest achievement were to make personal stats but abysmal in carrying the team for a championship.. Letting him go will ease out the salary cap and rebuild the again. 10 years wasted for this selfish underachiever "superstar".

love the montage lol

Lebron isn't a bowling ball. That comment isn't fair... to the bowling ball. Bowling balls have bags.

Bah I don't even watch the NBA anymore. I mean I get it. The NBA is in the business to make money, and there seems to be a market for a brand of basketball that's an all star game every single game. No defense and clowns just ignoring rules to get 120-134 score games. It was such a beautiful game in the 90s. It's trash now, just a damn pickup game every night.

I recently watched AoH's video 'The three men who were tricked into playing with Michael Jordan' - definitely worth a rewatch

He said Isiah Thomas never beat the lakers at full strength we'll neither did Magic. I was a die hard laker fan "at the time" and the pistons truly won us the year when the refs bailed out Kareem. LA was healthy that year. They called a bad call on laimbeer on kareem. Even I was like man i guess the ref really respects all the years Kareem has been in the league and possibly wanted us to win. They gave us that one. On top of that Isaiah was playing hurt for two games. His adrenaline kept him going the first game but it wasn't their the next game his ankle was swollen very bad. Same goes for MJ. He didn't beat Isiah either at full strength either in 91. Isaiah's shooting hand was messed up bad that year and the proof goes to looking at the year's states before the 91 season and year after. Other players weren't 100 percent either. The pistons beat boston at full strength and almost beat them the previous year if Thomas didn't throw the ball away to larry bird. They would've won against the lakers if that call which coach pat riley said wasn't a foul with a hurt Thomas. We can't take credit away from them beating great teams when they were 100 percent man they were just great. I knew the next year we played them that we weren't going to win because they truly won us with a hurt Thomas. The Bulls were winning teams too regardless and the pistons were the only team keeping them down. No sorry team would've been keeping Mike down like that. The Bulls never face great teams like the 80's Lakers, Celtics, or Pistons in the 90's. Nobody is going to pick divac over 1987 Kareem. Lakers won 5 championships with him. Name one team who was as great as one of those Celtic's, Pistons, or Laker's teams from the 90's that the Bulls beat in the finals. Please. In my opinion Mike is the greatest player I've ever seen regardless but he still didn't face any great teams in the 90's that anyone would bet their car or house or bank account on.

He would have folded like a cheap suit playing at Madison Square Garden with Spike Lee heckling him like he did Michael Jordan...

Isiah Thomas was injured in the 1988 NBA Finals when the Pistons were up 3-2 and in game 6, Thomas twisted his ankle in which he was on crutches, and Magic won with Isiah Thomas still playing injured. In 1989, Isiah Thomas won and when the series was starting, Detroit was up 1-0 and in game 2, Magic got hurt with the hamstring, Detroit won game 2 and in game 3, Magic went out on the court, started to play, played a couple of trips down the court, couldn't go, then he was out for the rest of the series and Isiah Thomas won 4-0. So when Magic was injured, Isiah won; when Isiah was injured, Magic won -- so that's Isiah Thomas vs. Magic Johnson in the NBA Finals...they are 1-1 against each other, case closed.

I used to think it was just basketball, but it's not even that anymore.

Hey I noticed you didn’t post a video about Lukas disgusting offensive foul bait to give Karl Anthony-Towns his 6th foul of the game. Just a reminder for you to put that on here

How about the fact that Magic first title, came with out Kareem

👍👌

😂😂😂😂😂

Lebum sucks. What a loser he is Lol 😆

Absolutely...😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

Le Balsky fan based is just bunch of kids. Lakers in 91 got 5 players averaging 11+ points. They got another all star in Worthy, Magic, Perkins 14 a game, Divac. Magic was just 32 back then. That was supposed to be a sweep. BUlls that yr just really elevated their game. Sweeping the Pistons the previous yrs champion as well.

That 90's Lakers team is better than many people say. In 1990 they won 63 games. Granted, they were eliminated in the second round, but still, they were bonafide contenders. In 1991, they struggled with injuries during the finals, but by no means they were easy.

Kylie weak

The boy who cried wolf? I mean hey.

That’s a gather step, learn the rules old man 👴🏻

Divac put up better numbers in 91 than kareem did in 1989. These people was wackos

Aoh the Lakers would have swept the pistons in 89. The injuries were the Factor. And still the Captain and big Game James kept fighting. F..k the Bad Boys

I think the 1991 Lakers were better than the '89 Lakers because old and slow Kareem slowing them down. I believe the documentary series was trying to give Scottie some flowers because they focused on the "lowlights" of his career in Chicago. They don't even mention the games that he and Jordan both scored over 40 points or the playoff game against the Knicks when he had 27 points to lead the team to their first victory in that series in 1993. Scottie became a great player because of Jordan but he is a bit overrated by Jordan haters.

Thanks a lot!! Love this

Yall can call me crazy, but I think MJ's closest competitor was John Stockton. John and Karl are the only all-star players to face MJ twice in the finals. Those Jerry Sloan teams were always competitive and always in the playoffs. They knocked off some great teams and came up short for a long time. I will never forget the shot over Byron Russell and how it cemented Jordan's legacy; it must therefore also cement the team he shot it over for the 2nd time. Who else has the caliber of grit necessary to compete on the highest level like MJ?

In 1986 Olajuwon dominated the defending champ Showtime Lakers with Kareem avg 27ppg, Worthy avg 20ppg 5rpg, and Magic nearly averaging a triple double with 22ppg, 8rpg, 2.5spg, 16apg!! Olajuwon gentleman swept them and only lost to the Celtics in 6 games of the Finals cuz Sampson decided to act like a punk

Why would he throw it away? 🙄😐

I can't logically see how he can be ranked above Kobe. I'm trying. I just don't see it. I watched Kobe at 22 live take over games.

When id watch a laker game and Reggie called it ,id cringe when he would praise LeBron and lie blatantly for clutch sports and bron

Your shits awesome doode, glad to see others who never drank the Lebone cool aide-

Reggie and Harland laugh like a couple seals at the circus when the trainer throws them a fish.... Lebone couldn't back her down in the post though- All those tough guy antics go in the shitter if she steals the ball from him and heads to the rack...

Fun Fact Darvin Ham in 1997 did the slam dunk contest and lebron never did

Lecrybaby never beat Dirk

They don’t respect the goat enough. They will make up excuses to discredit his greatness. That just shows how good he was. He was TOO good

Why didn't MJ just get in his DeLorean and go back in time so he could beat the Milwaukee Bucks with young Kareem and Oscar Robertson 1:45

And Thomas never beat Smush Parker!!!!

I wish someone would send this video to Robin .. because he diminishes jokics championship because he played Miami ….when Miami beat Boston … go figure Jessica
