Rip GiGi Bryant, John, Keri, Alyssa, the pilot and whom ever else was on the chopper 🙌🏾❤💯
But he's dead.
lnd should be thing for legends never die
R.I.P black mamba #MAMBAOUT
First, RIP KOBE!!
Now, if Jordan was afraid of losing, that would’ve pushed him towards doing the match, not the opposite. He was the ultimate competitor and loved a challenge.
I know. Just the thought of loosing would've motivated him to win.
You said the truth.mike didnt like to lose.but who does.mike came back better faster and stronger.after the loss to the magic in the playoffs.that was all she wrote.he was pissed off.and like i said.better stronger and faster.he blew everyone out.he was on a mission.2 three peats.that will never happen again.i said it.NEVER
@@michaelkawell3300 That's a bold statement sir. And true as fuck.
Michael Jordan afraid to lose! NEVER!
I think that jordan would have beat magic in a one on one game but not beaten him easily but he still would have gotten the victory,because all the things that magic does with his team would have not been able to do one on one .the only thing i could see magic doing mostly is using his weight and his few extra inches when going to the basket is trying to back michael up but jordan would of have to rely on speed quickness and skill point blank but then again they are always trying to make money off of people where as they should get off their ass and challenge somebody one on one beat them and get all the money they want.
Micheal jordan was on another level never seen before...and not since. He's the goat
NBA ~ YES
NCAA ~ NO
LeBron is the GOAT (Sarcasm)
@Terry Bogard Kareem only had 2 finals MVPs out of outta 6 finals. He.gotta out played by a teammate in four different championship wins. That would never happen to the GOAT.
@Terry Bogard Regular season. MJ has only one less mvp than him and 4 more Finals MVPs. Jordan never been outplayed by a teammate or opponent in the NBA Finals which is the biggest stage in basketball. Unlike Kareem MJ is undefeated on the biggest stage.
i grew up in chicago at the time of his dominance....what an amazing time to be alive.... and yes he is the GOAT
There is only one true goat.
Long live Michael Jeffrey Jordan!!!
Given how Jordan was so competitive..... there's no way he will be scared of losing and back out
Your looking at the wrong reasons why fear would have given him anxiety, it was a business choice at this point.
Regardless, fear was a factor. Fear is natural, props too him for fearing the outcome of losing to magic.
Jordan because of his jump shot,defend,athletic,quickness,clutch,
People today don't realize how good Jordan was he was unbelievable. And he was on another level
Real shit
sha broussard but he won in the finals against him 🤣🤣🤣
What about Isaiah Thomas. He beat MJ twice!
@sha broussard Jordan a ball hog. Maybe for his first 3 years in the league but outside of that your argument doesnt stick. Once he had competent players around him Jordan more than got everyone involved which was why they started winning...and never stopped.
I almost think you had to be there to understand it.
RIP KOBE,and jordan for the win every time.
FIRST RIP KOBE!!! MJ WAS AND STILL IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLAYERS OF ALL TIME!!!!
Win or lost, Michael Jordan is 1000 times better in one on one skills than Magic.
I said the same thing in other words!
But if he lost, how can we say he's still the best 1on1 player? That just contradicts. Tho perhaps the best of 5 series could be more accurate.
I'll take MJ over MJ anyday
Cute
Lol
Lol
Mike would have beat the dog shit out of magic
SpeedHomeAttack so which MJ u got
I was a Bird/Celtics fan. Haven’t really watched much since he left the league. With that said, there’s no way in hell I’d want to watch him 1 on 1 vs. MJ. That would get ugly real fast.
c b In 86, with Bird’s quick step and fade-away abilities, it would have been a bit more even, even if Jordan won. In 90, with Bird’s back, it would have been ugly
@Lucianodadon eggzackly ✌🏿😆... and eye fuqxwit bird, heavy
@Lucianodadon mane what...Larry better sat down sumwhere ✌🏿😆
Jordan vs. Bird.... old school Nintendo lol
This is so interesting!!! This tells me a lot why MJ had Isiah not on the dream team, why Jordan retired and played baseball, maybe why Jordan’s dad was killed... Jordan was bigger than the nba.
Even Wilt Chamberlain said that everyone in the NBA should thank MJ for popularizing the league and each player should give a portion of their checks to him.
With money on the line it mean that Vegas and the Mob wanting in on it... The deck would have been MJ heavy at the sportsbook... It's more likely they asked him to lose and he said you know what, go f*ck yourself! Then they responded... Then he retired out of retaliation...
In 88 Jordan was probably at his best physically.
There is michael jordan and then theres everyone else,yes michael is on a whole different level.and its very funny how they pit people against one another first it was magic vs larry bird and then it was magic vs jordan and at one time it was michael jordan as the new sheriff of the nba.then it was kobe vs jordan,labron vs kobe or lebron vs jordan i mean good god damn wtf.
8:12 I can’t get that outta my head, that crossover was savage 1986 style.
That is a classic all time move
xxtra sauce on dat thang ✌🏿😆
So smooth and natural, looked perfect, it almost looks fake, he did it that flawlessly.
do anyone remember the 1984 Olympics mj killed the NBA players
I definitely remember
Yes
Yes
those nba players remembered too, that's y they slick was hatin' when mike came 2 tha league
Thats why they are doing everything to put him down but cannot
RIP Kobe I can't believe it
One on one, MJ all the way! No doubt!
I would have put every dime in my possession on Jordan. Then I would have smiled after I collected my money
Okay
Michael would’ve won. Not really because of his “quickness”, but because their roles were different. Michael was the scorer on his team, while Magic was the guy to get the rest of the team involved. True enough Magic would score when he needed to but how many 40+, 50+ & 60+ games did Magic ever put up? Scoring wasn’t his job.
Exactly about 51 52
Yeah ... you got it quite right (this coming from a huge Magic fan)
Magic was a prolific scorer for his entire life until he was advised to scale back his scoring for the team's sake. Magic could have easily been an NBA elite scorer had he chosen that path, as would Larry Bird.
@Kwame Kevin Young
If you read my comment correctly, you’d see that I said Magic COULD score. An example of that would be the 1992 All-Star game where Magic hit 3-Three pointers to end the game. However, Magic was not a VOLUME scorer. Even in the game where the Lakers lost Kareem due to an injury, Magic played ALL positions and only put up 42 points in 1980. Maybe that was all the team needed to win but his CAREER high was only 46 against the Kings. Michael has scored over 40, 50 & 60 MULTIPLE times.
Then there are the stories that other NBA players (including Magic) tell about Michael whenever he’s been challeneged. It seems Michael steps up to the challenge in a major way.
@@kalon511 For sure, Magic's strength relies on his teammates. MJ, on the other hand, can single-handedly win the game. So it's common sense, who's the better 1on1 player.
Dude, the production values on this series are insane, seriously
Damn in his early years you can hear that country accent.
Rare Air Jordan The 🐐 23
It's amazing how and why NBA players aren't allowed to play 1vs1 games during the Allstar weekend or during the offseason on PPV... Matching LeBron, Durant, Giannis, Luka against each other or matching Curry, Lillard, Trae Young and Kyrie against each other would be EPIC basketball. King Of The Court should be done.
trey trey there’s a video of Jayson Tatum and Embiid that’s the best we got
Imagine a game of 21 by positions 1-2 and 3-5 play their own games
Nobody said they weren't allowed to I think they do but just never record it for whatever reason
spots gambling in Las vegas is now allowed. Who knows this might come to fruition moving forward, this would give all star weekend a needed boost.
The majority of superstars wouldn't go for it nowadays. In the last 12/15 years how many superstars (and by superstars I mean future HOF) has even the Slam Dunk contest got? Only Dwight Howard and rookie Blake Griffin. Firmed superstars face the All Star weekend as a festivity and a resting period. That's also the reason why the All Star game is what it is. I understand we the fans would love to get such a treat but if you take the superstar's perspective is blatant how little that counts compared to finishing the regular season strong and being prepared to the play offs.
No doubt Michael Jordan!
I just spent 30 min on a documentary for a game that didn't happen.
I was about to then I started reading comments
Great info but fuq this sgit I'm out lmao
magic's playmaking ability was something else. 5 magics might even take a game or 2 vs 5 mikes in a 7 game series.but not in a multiverse of thousands of games would magic beat mike 1 on 1. not even once.
Michael Jordan is Adidas’ biggest mistake...and sent Nike stratospheric...
Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
From buisness and money perspective, the NBA all had to do was prop up the game as much as possible and set up pre game results; first game Magic would win by two points, then a rematch, where MJ would win by two points (both players of course knowing the outcome) and then leave it open without ever playing 3rd match, that way would be a win win situation for everyone without anyone losing or looking bad.
Thanks for the amazing insight! If you do not mind us asking, what did you enjoy about the video?
NBA Insider everything
Your proposal is not the truth and any distortion or Manipulation deviating away from them really giving there best to beat each other and win the one one one competition is a fraud by definition. This proposal was in the time of my generation and the public was expecting this event to happen, but it never did happen. Most people believed Michael Jordan would win because Michael Jordan basketball skills was many levels above the next best player of his generation in my opinion based on my observation of him playing the game. One last thing. I remember going to Madison Ave in Chicago to go see Michael Jordan play basketball in the year of 1986 and seeing him play in person was nothing like watching him on TV because in person you really could see the cat like quickness/reflexes and the leaping ability toppled with the ability to stop on a dime and immediately change directions was amazing to see. Michael Jordan was and still is the greatest basketball player to ever play the game. Now I believe someday there will come a time when some little black boy will emerge from some black neighborhood and dazzle the world again with basketball magic and when you see him you will know him because his skills shall be Bruce Lee like exceptional skills on the basketball court. Hetepu.
what? MJ was nervous?
lol.
he took many clutch shots at the most nerve braking playoff-games and won the 6 champ titles and he would get nervous for 1:1 against Magic...?
u kidding me man.
Someone needs to ask the narrator, of the video; what has he been smokin? Jordan nervous about a competition GTFOH, LOL! 😂
yeah, ofc at the point we are talking about he havent even been in finals...
Fui Gebhardt1 well, i kinda agree with u FG.
but the point is..
you said "he gets nervous but it all be gone when it's on" that means he's good to go right on the point.
so, 'would not be nervous' kinda equals to 'would be nervous but he will kill magic anyways'
Definitely Jordan, !!!!!!!!!!!
We miss you BLK MAMBA!!!!!!!
As a little kid I saw my first basketball match ever on the TV with Michael Jordan and the Bulls and It was magic to see a Men playing a game like he did. No matter what kind of sports. He is the goat
My money's on Michael Jordan.
HE IS THE GREATEST. I LOVE MJ STORIES
I have no idea why this channel doesn’t have 40 million subscribers. Nothing but 🔥 every time
NBA Insider I consider myself very knowledgeable about the league, dating back to the mid to late 70's.
I'm admitting that this, "One on One matchup" I never even knew was in the works to happen, so kudos to you guys, because for me this was definately an (Untold Story)!
Your Vid even helps with the theories of jealousy and anamosity amoung the top Doggs back in the late 80's, early 90's providing us with more plausible info, details and reasoning as to the fact that everyday flaws in even the more popular atheletes can/do surface and certainly can effect future events.
Sort of let's us all know, "Even those who've reached the Penicle Of Their Professions, they're human, just like us".
Excellent 👍 Video and Content🏀💯!
Keep them coming for us...
Pretty sure I'm speaking for everyone.....😉
Thanks for the amazing insight! If you do not mind us asking, what did you enjoy about the video?
@@NBAInsider again mainly that through your research, you found out something that I never knew was in the works to even happen.
Also, how it affected attitudes going forward, personally and professionally.
Rip Kobe 💔😔
Two of the best players in the world 💪👍👌..thanks for the upload..🤙
Great video! 👍🏿👍🏿
Magic thought he was the best but Michael Jordan is and we always be the greatest NBA all-star player
Magic acknowledged MJ in his interview. wtf are you talking about?
Kobe vs. Lebron!
@@PaulCotton prime stockton? You clearly never watched basketball.. Stockton was good but he was never a top 5 player in the league in his whole career
I remember this!! I was so disappointed when it didn't happen!!!
Man NBA Insider gives their all in making these videos
To anyone scrolling the comments today just remember you are beautiful and awesome. Have an Amazing Day! Thanks for the great video.
Nice vid, and unbiased opinion.
The practices for the 1992 Olympic Dream Team were FULL of GOAT 1 on 1 games (they just werent televised). Magic vs. Bird, MJ vs, Magic, Bird vs. MJ. I wish someone would release every practice tape from the Dream Team practices. That would be amazing.
28.2 as a rookie
Well he was like 21
@@mr.anderson1562 you say that like it means something how many 21yr old rookies average 28.2ppg?
Brooklyn New York The birth place of mj.. we give birth to beasts and greatness!!!!! ‼💯💪
Love your vids
Jordan waa never scared
Jordan wasn't scared. He had been beating magic since he was in college playing the NBA allstars.. Jordan best magic and outlayed him in the finals. U just hating
GOAT
MJ verus Kobe both in their prime would have been the greatest one on one match up ever. I would have paid to see that over any sports event in history! Personally, I think Michael would have won because of his athletic advantages and extremely quick thinking but it would have been blood, sweat and tears.
Lebron vs KD
Kyrie vs Dame
I remember the Shaq/Hakeem matchup. Still wish it would have happened. I wouldnt be against players challenging each other to a 1 on 1 game on Saturday night before the all star game. I get not wanting to damage your image or whatever by losing but what's the difference in losing 1 on 1 and going 7 for 29, scoring 16 points and losing a team game?? It's a game, somebody has to lose.
still my favorite channel
The side pic of Jordan in the thumbnail look like thanos
😁😁
Great video!! Thanks
Jordan would have won.
Thanks for the love and support! If you do not mind us asking, what did you enjoy about the video?
@@NBAInsider I love the whole break down on how jordan on the challenge with Magic, I had never heard of the one on one that never took place.
There is a nice video between the advertising 👌
In 1987 I contend Jordan was robbed of the reg season MVP and DPOY award. Jordan was already the GOAT on defense and offense even then. He just didn't have a mature veteran team that was mentally tough yet. In a one on one match up at the time. There's no way prime air jordan loses to Magic who played no defense. Jordan in those seasons avg. 35-37 pts easily. I love Magic, but my man wouLd of suffered that L.
Nobody could beat prime MJ. From any era
@@kristophergoad2135 I agree. MJ is already in the pinnacle of the sport. Unless robots and cyber technologies would be used in the league, there's no one anyone from any era can beat this guy.
Gotta say wow thanks and the soundtrack was neat
I would love to see you and the NBA Storyteller do a collaboration
Wow..what could have been..Lebron vs. Kobe..interesting...another great video! Please do a story on Dr. J..Julius Erving!
3pt shot from Kobe and it's a wrap.
I remember this I was 14 and I had my lunch money on Magic!
U would’ve lost
Thats insane 😂 magic isn't even a 1v1 player mj was the best 1v1 player in the league
Thats insane 😂 magic isn't even a 1v1 player mj was the best 1v1 player in the league
I believe that Jordan would have won.
I couldn't but notice your choice of music.
The only human being who could have had a chance to beat MJ in a 1-on-1 match was Kobe Bryant, by Jordan's himself admission. Magic was the best point guard who's ever walked on a basketball court, but Jordan was a much better all-around player and was quick as f**k, plus he was literally a scoring machine. Magic himself acknowledged that MJ would have won, so there's no point in this discussion.
Lol, i love kobe but comon that was mjs joke. Kobe cant be mj. Rip mamba
@@jplacubtan995 Kobe could beat MJ. If they played ten times, and both were in their prime, I think MJ would win more games. But to say Kobe couldn’t beat MJ in one game would be false.
Jordan vs. Worthy one on one woulda been the real matchup to see
*That lone dislike must have been someone who lost on a Michael Jordan bet.*
Probably 😂
No they won a bet, Mike still owes them money 😋
Scared ? Mj will eventualy defeat him easily the reason why Mj doesnt want continiue the match because instead of playing basketball it turn out a business match !!!
can you tell me what video editor you use on the black and white book like part
Rip Kobe Bryant
Oh, how i wish it was lebron. Shouldn't have been kobe who passed away.. lol
@@misterlibra1675 what is wrong with you there are people who hate kobe but they still are sad but there are lebron haters who won't give a shit about him dieing
A legend is a legend
Dont wish anyone death
Man, one-on-one games would have been GREAT!!!
A lot of people hated mike and still do he was talked about Sunday when it was supposed to be about Kobe even Scottie talked about him I love who he is was and will always be the best at everything he did it says a lot about what kind of people we have become don't hate appreciate
Jordan hands down 🐐
This is so good man. Isaiah been a hater, still a hater of Jordan. MJ23 would have won not because he's faster but because he has a better jumpshot. From my experience playing bigger guys, my speed caused them an issue BUT THE REASON I EITHER WON OR LOST was if my jumper was silk that day I win... if jumper was like John Starks 2 for 19 :) I always lost no matter how fast. It's about handles and a killer jump shot
Bro, I don't think this video has enough adds. Please add more.
Michael Jordan.
Imagine if they did this and they both got hurt a huge mess🤔
They weren't pussies back then tho
@@kristophergoad2135 No one is immune from injuries
It wouldn't even be close.. but it would've been cool to see I think!!! That's it!!! 🏀🤨
I’m just really shocked at how much hate and jealousy Mike endured during his career, especially in the beginning during his Rookie year! Isaiah Thomas should feel like a piece of shit, cause that’s exactly how he made himself look hating on mike like that!!! Can’t even respect him no more after knowing this, cause they DEFINITELY was hating and jealous of Mike!!!! His aura, game, and presence intimidated the shit outta they old asses!!!!! Number 1 selling shoe of all time, How bout that.......
so this would explain(if its true) why Jordan kept I.T out of the dream team, because I.T pulled it on him first for the ALL Star game.
May I ask what are the tags in the description for?
michael had that reverse lebron james fade 🤣🤣🤣
Time to look up the Kareem Julius match on CZcams...
I sincerely hope you win a serious award for these one day your work is to amazing hats off to you bro 💯🙏🏻🖤🔥
23 🐐
How was I watching this this morning.....I don’t watch basketball but this video popped up in my feeder and I thought, why not, and hit play.....I had a migraine so few hours after watching this video, I took some meds and took a nap....I woke up hours later and found out Kobe Bryant passed on....smh....I’m freaking out.....I always get weird signs before getting bad news....again I don’t watch basketball....I watched this video then another basketball player dies....SIP KOBE.
Fans are the key to be something or some one
I’m thinking this game happened but the public will never know
I grew up in the Jordan era I watched magic in his prime on tapes with that being said it would have been 50 50 Jordan at that time still wasn't as good as he was in the 90s when he came out of retirement and got established so it would have been a great match magic is always humble when he talks about Jordan but don't let his smile fool you he was a problem
MJ > MJ 💯
Basketball game is a team sport...twas not design for one-on-one or between 2 B'ball players. It is officially played by two opposite team with a team... I think this was the concept of Mr. J. Naismith and until now the concept still a team sport.
Many saying that jordan was beat by 1 on 1 but it's all team vs Jordan
I just want the old narrator back 😭
All star weekend they should do a one on one match up take 8 players and bracket them up
It should be matched up by positions. It's unfair for the small guys to go against the bigs. lol
Michael no doubt about it.
So what's your point? Michael's the GOAT Isaiah was kissing men on the court ask anyone.
During the Olympic Game they did play against each other during practice. And Michael won.
