@MAN UTD what are you watching basketball for the
@MAN UTD Dude I love soccer and basketball equally, there's no debate which sport is the best.
That was deep
4:20 - I genuinely thought you was gonna tell me he missed that shit.
Yep
Nine - Forty nice time
Hahahahaha
Jordan woulda been throwing hands if that missed
420 nice

Ewing: Y'aight?
Jordan: nods head
good sportsmanship
Even though their rivals. They have to have sportsmanship
That alone made me like Ewing more
that’s two MEN understanding that outside of their game they’re both still people.
@@jamesleonard1967 That 92 dream team got really close. I'm sure he respected Jordan regardless but they had a close bond before this.
You noticed that too?
I've been watching the clip of the fall over and over again, I think the way Jordan choose to land his body saved him from severe injury. As soon as his foot touched the ground, he knew it wasn't right so he decided to land on his back, which resulted in his head hitting the ground hard (but that wasn't as serious), and lifted his waist so that his almost twisted foot didn't have to bare that much of weight. I think luck is one thing, but it's his experience and intelligence that saved him.
You're right! Also saw the noticed it
Great observations
Exactly 👏🏼
This all takes place in 0.1-0.2 seconds. No human being is capable of making a decision and acting on it in this ammount of time. Its just not possible. It was pure and utter luck. Thats all.
It’s like what Ja Morant did a week or two ago. He knew that having his leg get clipped under him could end his career
When he paused I thought bill missed

Lmao that is a good one!
Bruh
But imagine MJ came back from his injury and we got to see Kobe and MJ play together...
That may happen if MJ still get injured but was out in the whole season and not his whole basketball career. Kobe probably be PG MJ SG and Scottie in his well his only position. 4-peat? Maybe since if MJ never leave The bulls because the team is goat and hey maybe he is still there until he retires
Phil Jackson tried to get Jordan to join him in LA in 1999. Imagine Jordan, Kobe, AND Shaq. But Jordan turned him down.
@Toby Lee Juarez Jackson said that Jordan was not yet ready to return. At the time Jordan actually believed that he would never return.
What makes you guys think they would get along? After all, Kobe & Shaq didn't. You guys forget about egos. That why Barkely, Pippen & Drexler never got anywhere.

This entire video can/could be summarized by just:
"Man's built different"

LMAO
I watched this game live, was a miracle that MJ got up. His conditioning played a major factor, thanks to his personal trainer.
Tim Grover analyses all of his star client's games. I wonder what his opinion of this game and this play was!! 🤔🤔🤔
best personal trainer to grace the nba keeping the best player to grace the nba from early retirement
His trainer was also one of Kobe’s trainers
Just imagine that in another reality we would be watching a video called "what if Jordan never got injured"
Damn that’s crazy 😱
He literally carried the 1986 bulls to the playoffs. Imagine him playing that entire season
Maybe in a parallel universe
Just imagine deez nuts
thats deep
Knowing Jordan, he would probably come back healed next year and win 3 anyway.
You are not wrong
lmao if he did get injured and was out of the nba for like a year, after it would be over it he’d average 60 points no assists

The NBA didn't change. He was retired already. Him living or dying in 2020 had 0 impact on the game itself.

Michael Jordan is such a monster I’ve never seen someone so dominant in any other sport. Players back then were lucky to have shared the court with him but unlucky because they never stood a chance.
you didn't see Wilt or Russell then
Sorry, my english is bad, im french. In our Country we had someone who is dominant in his sport (like that)
It's Teddy Riner in judo in the +100kg category
to give you an idea, between 2010 - 2020 he got a 154 - 0 winning streak
@@Antalus59 ur english is fine
Khabib Nurmagumedov and Anderson Silva were absolutely dominant too
@@jessiislami7164 Because you'd have to be like 70 years old
Fun fact: not only did Jordan have one of the best strength/workout coach in the planet at the time, not only did that coach show him the importance of strengthening his legs and ankles, but he literally trained on HOW TO LAND to avoid injuries like the one you’re talking about here that could’ve happened. He let his head bounce on the ground on purpose to prevent a possible torn Achilles. So in hindsight this what if wouldn’t have happened for sure.
I just realized how much I like Jimmy's voice
Hannibal Barca don’t talk about jxmy like that or you’re gonna get a big baller BUTT WHOOPING!!

Any one who watched this game knew Wennington scored!
My dog.
Rick Perez that national televised game was on NBC regular TV, now u can watch on WEWS and the NBAFINALS if u don't have cable
J Dolo u exactly right, and we just have to adjust and adapt to this soft era of the mid 2010s going into 2020, its still enteraining basketball when the refs swallow there whistles by not calling ticky tack BS calls rather in a regular season game or the playoffs
The way you expound on that is absolutely incredibly deep. I remember watching that game and would have never thought that that injury will change the landscape of the NBA that is truly a remarkable video
I enjoy all your video's, Jimmy, but that's the first one that's truly blown my mind. Thanks for the great work!
"Jordan comes down and hits Starks with a crossover so mean, that for a brief moment, John Starks actually forgot how to walk"

His leg looked like it broke for a second there 🤣🤣

so mean that Stark's legs still feelin that crossover till the last seconds of the game that made him mess up their last ball possession.

😂😂😂 bruh said the Undertaker
Not just that but watch, his head is the second point of contact. I'd have been knocked out crying to mommy.
@@truththebestiknowit5091 think he got lucky and managed to pull his leg forward so it ended up flat , as for the head he kinda rolled onto in, as his bum hit first, but still a good knock..more worried about the knees, however Jordan was on another level in conditioning, simply through instinct and lots of fast twitch muscle fibers he managed to pull his leg forward just in time , probs learned from all the fouls he took on a reg basis.. you can see his muscularity is superior to most modern players , plus he was very symetrical for his height. He took care of his body, trained every part to be as strong as possible, we didn't see him injured often, his crazy endurance is part of his legacy, paid off against the knicks that night for sure..
These story's of him only having his body treated in private, never showing weakness, jogging to the back after a game, and almost collapsing from pain once in the back with the trainers , but never showing weakness to anyone, guy probs had a team of physical therapists , and for sure he didn't take any heavy stuff to numb pain, or he'd be in limping these days..he walks fine..

@@dimitriskaragiannis3600 well this is my first time hearing about this now..🙁
Great video! Mind blown about the potential injury. Never knew that nearly happened. Can you imagine Jordan injured in only his 5th game back from retirement and the biggest comeback ever?! The Kobe drafting was an added bonus and tantalizing 'what if' moment. Damn!
“But this is my video, and I have a lot of time at my hands” - amazing 🤣
He's not called the black cat for nothing. Cats always land safely.
Peter Parker that's what they call Mr. June, but that was all mighty God sending 👼 to protect MJ on that play, there's been plenty of ackward falls by NBA players and some walked away injury free and others suffered castrophic injuries, Michael Jordan did suffer a broken foot and missed 64regular season games in the 1985-1986 NBA season, his 2nd year in the league and missed 21games in the 2001-2002season due to injury, but MJ was healthy for the majority of his career, especially from 1987 thru 1998, injuries are part of sports though, Hakeem #TheDream Olujawon, Michael Jeffery Jordan 🐐🐐

This was an excellent video, brotha! Great way to use your research and your storytelling.
Hats off 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
The way MJ saved his leg was because he arched his back, and let his weight hit his head, not his leg
Edit: Thanks for 1k likes
He's better off with a plethera of leg injuries then entering a coma
hood gold medalist I’m not certain, but I believe the part of his head that he hit was not a weak point, so the most he could have happen to him was a moderately bad concussion. Obviously that’s bad, but it’s a lot better than the multiple knee and ankle ligament and tendon tears he likely would have sustained if he had taken all the force to his leg (not to mention any bones in his foot that were broken by the pressure).
I’d say arching his back there was the right move. I could be totally wrong though lmao
That and his conditioning that allows his body to take the fall and not be injured. Strong ACL and ligaments in legs prevent potential injuries from the same fall/twist. I know because my rehabbed ankle can now withstand a sprain like it's nothing.
This is just what I thought
WOW, didn’t realize there were medical professionals coming in here
Thank you for that Dave chapelle “Gotcha Bithc” 😂😂😂😂

I not only remember that fall, I have, throughout the years thought exactly the same "What if...?" you have put into this video with many of the same 'likely' scenarios including Utah/Malone GOAT inclusion, Penny Shaq Title, but you threw me for a loop on the Kobe scenario and boy... well, no need to say anything but "WOW! you may very well be right!" lol
THANKS SO MUCH! (for validating all of us who thought as you did by putting together such an excellent video.)
I had just turned 18 on that day. I feel so blessed to have been able to watch such quality NBA basketball in the late 80's all the way through the 90's. I don't think we'll ever see the likes of NBA basketball during that time, ever again.
Damn I started to get chills when he said Kobe Bryant
That’s pretty gay.
@Splits OG
Why doesnt that make sense? Jordan pretty much retired with a injury. If he had a injury like that he surely would of called it quits. The bulls did have a 1st draft pick, and maybe they would of gone for a sg who knows, after jordan left the bulls organziation has been awful on picking players.
@Splits OG he turned 17 in 95. I'm literally one month younger than Kobe.
Peter Washington damn nigga you old g
I was freaking out when he said the bulls needed a sg
I knew already, because he mentioned the Nuggets already. That was the Jalen Rose trade, where the Nuggets finally finished burying any sense of good team management until the Melo draft
@@RoninWaffle I knew from the image on the video...... 😐
Esteban Rosales *thumbnail
Great insight, there are times when you sort of brace for impact in a split second, from the replay I think that's exactly what happened here, he sort of arches his back to release the pressure on his ankle and lower leg, but who knows maybe all the strength training he was famous for in the off-season wasn't worth a darn and he just got lucky, and this wasn't the only time the other one was when he broke his navicular bone and came back early with no consecuences
This is an excellent video! Such an entertaining analysis. Good job!

Robert Weekes facts
Robert Weekes #facts u speaking, in the 2002-2003 NBA season in which was Mr. June last NBA season at 39 and turning 40years old, equally the 🐐 along wit Hakeem #TheDream Olujawon, Michael Jeffery Jordan averaged over 37mins of playing time while playing in all 82 regular season games for a young disfunctional Washington Wizards organization which started from the leadership of owner Abe Pollin, #restinparadise to the front office VP and GM and down to the players, that was a accomplishment along playing all 82, loadmanagement was not a topic among NBA players in those days, and trust and believe there is rapid P.e.d. performance enhancing drug use among all NBA players in 2019, commissioner Adam Silver and League officials only go after the young players and no star players, John Collins of the ATL Hawks, Deandre Ayton of the Phoenix Suns, 25game p.e.d. suspensions, just like MLB when Jose Canseco snitched out baseball and exposed it for p.e.d. use, the NFL,NHL,MLS,NBA,UFC,Boxing and all sports need be exposed for p.e.d.s.
BEATSIBANG truth
Robert Weekes yeah thats why lj is soo dominate defense isnt soft asf if he was in the 90s well no lj
Dude, you are fucking insane. The data, the logic behind the thought processes, I mean; you really think about this shit and break it down. This was a wild video, especially being 37 and remembering all of those games like they were yesterday. Great take on it, really great take.
That was a really fun thought experiment 😊 thanks for a good video 👍
“That day the basketball gods sparred Jordan”
So basically Jordan sparred himself
nah, brian scalabrine did
😂 absolutely
Mr BuzzKill now I can only think of Jordan boxing himself thanks I aprec
Well there is that one basketball commercial where he sparred with his younger self in a one on one game if that’s what you’re referring to
Bruce Komakech yeah we can go w that
I feel like Jordan didn't get injured because of his conditioning
I wouldn't say that conditioning has anything to do with blowing your knee out though. The MJ fell, was extremely awkward and could have easily lead to a career-ending injury. I think he just got really, really lucky.
Jared Rivera I think the fact that he has very strong flexible knees saved him its logical
Its because he's black
He works out his body to the fullest thats why every mucle in him we able to sustain that fall. He is saitama of NBA
@Chase Jordan I said that already
“IF” this happened.. NBA wouldnt be this popular worldwide, it’ll had been just a “Sport”
True. Me and my dad would've never watched basketball. He watched basketball because of Jordan and continued to watch it because of him. I started because of Kobe. Jordan is basketball for us non-Americans.

If you look close you can actually see Patrick apologize and Jordan say “it’s okay” before he shoots the free throw
No, he didn't apologize, he mouthed the words "i got u"
Nope Patrick Said " U Ight"
No he said eat a dick

Ather Chavez greatest Athlete ever. Strong like Bull
Borris Bozeman he definitely felt it coming but that awareness is Goat level
You're right. Knowing how to fall safely is an important skill in sports like these. His body saw the injury coming and reacted to prevent it.
I'm glad that didn't happen the way this video is seeing it.
Great conditioning and a really healthy and pliable body helped MJ. He must have been really flexible. Just shows what a great athlete he really was.
He trained not just to build muscles but also for flexibility and endurance. A lot of players do not do that nowadays because they are lazy, hence a lot of injuries
@@ReneParada MJ's trainer, Tim Grover, insists that there is no substitute for lifting real weights (not cables or bands) to build the proper foundation to perform and prevent injury. Through a certain weight training program, he also helped Kobe to reduce his knee problems.
Jordan took ballet lessons for footwork and flexibility. It probably helped him out a lot in this instance.
It’s honestly incredible how his body was so strong and healthy, considering his habits of drinking beers at golf courses before games, smoking cigars, staying up late gambling, and playing 18-36 holes of golf before games. If any NBA players did that back then or today, they wouldn’t be nearly as effective. But Jordan was just built different.
3:53
Why was I laughing so hard 😂
That was a great hypothetical video man!!!! And i love how you do all these great vids on yes the Real G.O.A.T "Micheal Jordan"
Michaels seasons with the wizards were still at an elite level
Yeety McFly IV and MJ averaged over 37 mins a game in both seasons, missed 21 in the 2001-2002season due to injury but played all 82games in the 2002-2003season at 39yrs old and turned 40yrs old on February 17th of that year after all-star break, load management was never talked about back then like players do in sports in 2019, wit all the new studies and technology on how athletes can stay healthy and play longer and improved nutrition nowadays and there's p.e.d. performance enhancing drug use rapidly among NBA players, particularly star players, and they load management, no new era player should ever be compared to the players of 1970s, 80s, 90s, and early 2000s interms of physicality and toughness and fundamentals and skill, period, and i embrace today's NBA players
Por Vang right, most of them grow up playing together in AAU tournaments and prep schools around the country, and when they reach the NBA, it ain't the same competitive nature, because they all buddy,buddy, trust me, the 1980s,90s,early 2000s is and remains the most complete skilled fundamentally sound, toughest era of NBA history
YMFIV
Your Right!
Think about this; When he played with them, He was the age LeBron is NOW!
And at age 40, he dropped 40 plus points on multiple occasions while playing for them as well.
AMAZING!🏀🐐🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🐐!
Ball Smack absolutely
Camailria Wingo 1980-early 2000’s was also the most fun to watch era
This may provide some insight into why MJ didn't get hurt. I have a rare genetic disorder called EDS, it's where my body produces defective collagen. Which means I am super flexible but that I will most likely dislocate a bone ( which I have had happend to me then more times then I can count) then to break something, had I would have had a fall like MJ. So my guess is that his conditioning played a massive role in this. Because if I fell the way Michael did, then I would have been ok too. He most likely was more flexible then most people may have realized. He was super quick on his feet and agile, that requires alot of flexibility of the body to do that. He also seemed to be hyper aware of his body due to the fact that he caught himself mid fall and corrected his landing to avoid a catastrophic fall. So he most likely included several types of exercises in his regime to keep as sharp as he did. Strength, cardio, stamina and flexibility all played a huge role in his ability to preform and maneuver to avoid any potential falls. I watched this cause I have fond memories of growing up and hearing about MJ in school all the time and even watching some games myself.
Professional Commenter nah its the shoes
This guy has a lot of time on his hands...
I think genes definitely played a role but more importantly than that it is Jordan's insane body control he got from gymnastics and training with his personal trainer (who was incredibly important support of Jordan), look at the moment when he's about to hit the ground the way he arches his back to make his head hit the floor so all the pressure/impact of the fall doesn't hit his legs and knees.
Honestly seeing this footage and how Jordan avoided this drastic change I don't know why gymnastics/acrobatic training isn't forced on NBA players to prevent more of these injuries
His trainer played a huge role in his conditioning. He was insane, he watched every step and counted how many steps Jordan took and what angle he took them at to know where Jordan would be sore and what regiments to do. Obsessive and insane, but effective.
You're videos are really good jimmy. Can you make one about the 10 biggest moments that changed the nba
actually one of the craziest videos i’ve ever seen
This video is one of the Biggest "What If" in the NBA I've seen. It's like the sports of Marvel. You should do more "What If NBA History". Cuz if you use this give me props, aight. #BKNY
True. I'm not too surprised though that MJ recovered. I always believed MJ took care of himself due to serious conditioning and knowing how to take a fall if necessary to avoid injury.
Kobe wouldn't have been the Kobe we know. Michael being in the league resulted in Kobe pushing himself to be what he eventually became.
3:41 that crossover was nasty R.I.P john starks
gathering himself from his puddle of misery lmao
Miguel Rivero John starks left ankle man!!!
He still alive bruh but according to legend his ankle was never seen since... spooky

Awesome video. Great insight. Subbed.

"No wonder he's the GOAT.. The way he fell was like how a cat would try it's righting reflex. To be able to reflexively do that means that he jumped to the point that he not only perfected his landing but that it was deeply engraved instinctively in his body."
rip trap sax... you will be missed 🎷💀
I deal still hear it. It's engraved in my head!
Wow, just wow. That's an absolutely amazing alternate timeline.
That's from having a great trainer. Emphasis on strengthening stabilizer muscles prevents injuries from happening.
Look at how he arched his back. Didn't drop the weight into his legs joints.
Controlled
7:00 luckily MJ secretly took gymnastics in the 8th grade👍
