That was one of the best Mj stories i've heard in a while 😂
This generation has a hard time wrapping their brain around the MJ phenomena bc they don't have a player with that swag or fearlessness of competition. Jordan was down to talk sh*t to your face, dap you up, then bust yo asss, then play cards with you all night. He was different.
got such a grin on my face - feels like childhood when there is a MJ story you haven't heard yet
Big Faxxxxxxxxx.💪🏿💖👏🏿👑✔️
I couldn't agree more! 😊
There have been numerous MJ stories that have surfaced in the last few years. This is got to be in the running for one of the best.
To be the 🐐 you have to have the story’s, and MJ have all the story’s 🐐 👑 🏀
I was thinking the same. I never hear any Bron stories.
You got it
MJ stories keep dropping like he still playing in the league today is just amazing to me, this one definitely one of the craziest best "taking things personally" story I heard 😂
lebron would say he will try to drop 40 and he drops 30 and loses the game and blame his teammates
True!!!!
It goes to show his teammates feared Jordan!! feared to lose and face Jordan not even themselves and contracts to the team.
Lebron is great but is or will never be like Mike,Mj was a different breed from another another planet.
Wtf does this have to do with LeBron????
“Playoff mode activated.” 🤣
Eddie Johnson was one of the most Under Rated Players. I loved the way he played 😎
I said it once I said it a million times Michael Jeffrey Jordan is the one player in any sport who I wish would have played forever the dude is the goat
All this cause Jerry Krause loved himself some Thunder Dan 🤣🤣🤣
YES!!! I knew there were more stories out there about MJ!! Come on folks, let's hear some more!! How about some interviews with bench reactions?!? NJ Nets bench after the "layup"?? Cavs bench after that MONSTER dunk?? Pistons bench after.... well, pick one lol.... let's hear them!!
ugh, I feel this reply in my bones man. Father time is undefeated. Anyhow, yeah lets get those interviews!!@@TheEsquireofSports.2.0
MJ wasn't from this planet. He hardly slept. He'd golf, drink and smoke before games and then go out there and play tenaciously at both ends and then have the stamina to take over in crunch-time. Where amazing happened!
That is a fact dude was an alien
Clutch time should changed to Jordan time
played 82 games 11 times (including at age 40!)
He also ate steak and potatoes just three hours before games. I need a nap after steak and potatoes.
Ped
MJ's psych ops game was next level.
How some people still think lebron is better still confuses me like how can u believe that😂😂
Constant media and fan talk / recency bias
Facts - and Kobe is #2 then Queen James at #3 - Lebron has the physical edge but he doesn't have anything close to what MJ and Kobe had inside of them (mentally) - Lebron has lost about 5 NBA FINALS 🤔 - and that is what keeps Magic Johnson out of the discussion (all of those NBA FINALS losses he had) - Big Dawgs don't choke under pressure - MJ23 G.O.A.T.
Kids. Just trolls. Using social media
Generally the people who think Lebron is the best are USUALLY people who didn't actually see MJ play! They only know Jordan through highlights, videos, word of mouth, etc. The ones who experienced him live KNOW! The other group who doesn't think Jordan is the GOAT are usually disgruntled exes: Isaiah Thomases, Scottie Pippens, opposing fans of teams that Jordan terrorized. I've seen Jordan play in person a few times and I've seen Lebron play in person a couple of times. They both were easily the best players on the court but MJ just had that extra something that very few athletes have!
@@gregoryharlston0602 you are right - and I sort of understand how Doctor J and Wilt Chamberlain and others felt - MJ was the new kid on the block getting praised and had not done anything yet (in their eyes) - but MJ quickly changed a lot of opinions - I felt some type of way when Kobe started gaining momentum, but he quickly made me shut up and stop hatting 🤣 - but Lebron had all kid of advantages that MJ didn't have - and Kobe came into the league when it was different also and that is what made him better - if MJ and Kobe would have started their careers around 2003 they would have more than 5 or 6 rings by now - the rule changes combined with nobody playing defense in the NBA nowadays, would have made the game just too easy for those guys - Lebron is a great players but he isn't close to His Airness
The fact that MJ later averaged 40 on Dan in the finals is crazy lol
In a time when teams scored 90 points
People try to minimize the players that guarded Jordan but he did what he did on the opposing teams best defender most nights. Dan was a very good defender.
"Jerry Krause liked him and that's all I needed. You think hes a good defender fine no problem. Imma show you hes not" 🐐
Dan averaged 2 blocks and 2 steals in the finals vs the bulls...he was known a a great defender back in the day...
Some fool probably took another bet, smh. Jordan earned an extra couple hundred after those finals.
Another great story told about the best who ever did it. No other player has stories like this.
MJ ♾️🐐.
This is one of the best wildest Mj stories I ever heard ...like are you kidding me these guys can't even go but Jordan stands up at the card table like uhhhh I'm going for 40 in a couple hours 😂😂😂
LOL! Yup. He was a superhuman athlete. Like Wilt and Dennis Rodman. That's why the comparisons bother me. BJ Armstrong recently said in a podcast that he wonders how much better Michael could have been if he actually slept.
#Michael didn’t talk trash he spit facts! #TheGOAT💫
Steve Kerr talked about this very same game. He remembers the first time he saw MJ in a game was when Kerr was sitting on the bench. MJ had the ball and turned to the Suns' bench and said, "Watch this" while holding the ball to their faces. MJ turned around and went around Majerle and dunked on him. He ran back on defense while laughing.
Seriously, if Jordan wanted to average 40, he could’ve.
No doubt. He just wanted to rip off his opponents heart but if he were chasing to fill the stat sheets like the ones we know, he would broken all the records
@@selfmademan3201 And already broke them!!!!
MJ IS THE UNDISPUTED GOATTTTTTT!
I could listen to mj stories all day
That’s funny as hell 😂
MJ had this personal grudge against Majerle because Jerry Krause said he loved Dan. Sometimes I wonder if Jerry harnessed Jordan's competitiveness to benefit the Bulls. Jerry is pretty smart and he knew MJ was competitive and just steered that drive into wins for the Bulls.
This line of thinking makes "Crumbs" (MJ nickname for him)Jerry Krause a genius. It's a very refreshing perspective.
This reminded me of BJ Armstrong and Rex Chapman saying MJ didn't sleep. Oh wait so did Magic, Chuck, and The Admiral during Olympics. 😂
I think this is the same Steve Kerr story of his first MJ story.
Yup. Facts!
a great story ......and told very well. thanks, mr. johnson.
MJ stories are classic
That's some goat shit lmao
Great story...poor Dan 🤣🤣🤣
Like someone said we never knew what mj full potential was 😂
BJ Armstrong
Fast Eddie every fan of Olympiakos loves you legend
Bruh 😎 the goat 🐐 it ain’t close
Never heard of that story lol wow! Thanks for posting 😂👍🏾✨️
This is one of the best Jordan stories untold
I think Mike played his best when people trash talked or bet against him.
This is why Van Gundy called him a con man. He took that personal too.
A "ranDu"m thawt🤔...I remember an LBJ story. "I was watching TV and the day he said he's taking his talents to south beach, he claimed they'd win, not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7" - then got bounced out the finals like Spence in the latest bout claiming himself victorious and ppl looked for 'Reasons', like that Philip Bailey led song of why they were defeated and James outscored by Jason Terry"...😂😂😂😂
That is how MJ socialized with other players in different teams. Something had to be at stake all the time.
As BJ armstrong said, the world actually never saw the full potential of michael jordan, since he never slept or ate much food....
"Get that money ready" #MJGOAT
MJ 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
He scores at will, but sometimes he needed a made-up motivation to keep scoring :)
^This.
This one of the best Mj stories. I really like all Mj stories. No other player will have these stories. Kobe has some great ones right after Jordan.
16 yes later am atill laughing true goat
That's why he is the 🐐, always love listening MJ stories from his opponent
Lebron's name being brought up in these COMMENTS and his name isn't even in the title shows his GREATNESS❗❗❗
NO THAT'S NOT WHAT THAT MEANS IT MEANS THAT WE STILL DON'T SEE HOW YOU CAN COMPARE A MAN THAT CRIES LITERALLY AND FLOPS ON THE GROUND, BETRAYS HIS TEAMMATES BY SHIELDING THE BLAME AWAY FROM HIMSELF AND A SELF PRONOUNCED GOAT WHO CAN'T WIN UNLESS HE HAS A STACKED TEAM IS STILL BEING COMPARED TO THIS MAN! JORDAN IS A NUTCASE AND A BASKETBALL PREDATOR, LEBRON IS A NARCISSIST AND A CRY BABY! OH THE MAN CAN PLAY BUT IT'S A SIN TO COMPARE HIM TO JORDAN! THAT'S WHAT THAT MEANS!....LMAO!
Story like that say ... MJ is a F gout
Dan Marley (spelled.wrong) ALWAYS GOT.ATE UP😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
what game of what season he was talking about?
mj is different , i heard a story the was gambling all night in atlanta had game the next day and dropped, 36 or more
Amazing
MJ just tell you what he will do to you then,,, he makes it happen..
The goat
I would like to see that game. Anyone remember what year was it?
I think it's the same MJ story told by Steve Kerr.
Mike snitched 😂😂😂
When you thought you heard every MJ story, there's more!!
So good
in 1995 Eddie came to Greece and played for a year with Olympiacos. In his first away game they played my team Aris. Back in those days the games were a jungle . On warming up a fan threw coins to the players of the visiting team and Eddie nearly lost his eye. The general manager of Olympiacos was afraid that Eddie is going to take the first plane for the States after that and he tried to calm him down. EJ said to him "don t worry about me I grew up in Chicago". He scored 25 in the same game and they won by 15-20 points. Eddie Jonhson was a bad motherfucker...
is this game on youtube
AWESOME
OMG Tunk haha.. addicting... yea that's an all nighter lol
Hilarious 🤣
Lebron would say hed be in the dunk contest and yes he is.. AS A SPECTATOR!
Hahahaha this is funny I must say
My GOAT.
what a story!
Now we know why Bird called Jordan God in basketball shorts. After the 63 piece 🍗 he put on the Celtics in the Garden in the playoffs. I have heard numerous stories like this about Jordan/ golfing 🏌️♀️ ⛳️. 18 holes and playing that night putting up 40/ gambling 🎲at a casino all night scoring 35. And just like Eddie the people telling the story were amazed by his play.!!
Look, every generation has their favorite player. And so folks from certain generations would go with the stars they grew up watching, etc. But with MJ it's different. His PREDECESSORS were in awe of him. You mentioned the comment from Larry Bird. Magic Johnson has continuously called MJ the GOAT, even up until recently. Think about how unusual that is. That would be like if Tim Duncan and Kobe Bryant back in the 2010s started saying LeBron is the GOAT. That is a thought that would never even cross their minds.
now THAT is a good story and it just goes to show that, for Jordan, the game was 24/7. And that my friends is why LBJ wouldn't have noooo chance
MORE INSIDE STORIES @ PHNX Sports GET CRAIG HODGES ON THE SHOW, BJ ARMSTRONG, BROWN, RON HARPER
Why did you guys make a bet with MJ of all people?.......You know that's not going to end well.
Stiff?.. as a board?...ayoooo
If I wasn't watching him talk I'd think it was Mark Jackson.
" We like WHO? " 💀
hahaha this was so funny
Michael will tell lol 😂
lol; that's a great story.
Of course he told, MJ got no respect for anyone who lets him dominate him.
As soon as you let him tell you what to do making you stay playing cards you lost his respect.
Then you bet against him?! You must be crazy.
Eddie you just snitched MJ betting on games
Whenever they figutre out this cloning this MJ will have to be the first in line
There's no lebron stories
Sureeeeeeeeeee Eddie
@@DeeRG add to the mystique and legend of Jordan. Just like stories of Wilt and Bo and so many others. I guarantee Jordan never scored 40 points in a preseason game.
@@Boss3Nate Stop. There's too many specific people in this story that are still alive for Eddie to just make it up.
@@UpTheDown7 oh yeah there are... there's also too many sites that reference stats and ways you can watch games. No stats ever show this happen and you can't find the game. It's ok that it's made up... you can still hang his poster on your bedroom wall
@@Boss3Nate show me sites that have 1988 preseason basketball stats… I’ll wait…
WILL. Do you think Kobe OR Lebron could do this?!? Absolutely NOT.
This will always be the difference between Mike and LBJ. Mikes level of competitiveness wills his drive to win. Lebron doesn’t have that. He’s still a champion, LBJ is still great he just comes short to Jordan.
They kill Bron for beating up on the young players but Mj is being glorified for dropping 40 on a rookie
Listen
Mj
Is mj
That's it
How much alcohol was involved here. You had to be drinking to take that da** bet.
I keep telling folks, MJ was NOT normal! Stop comparing him to anyone else, please!
I'm thinking he's saying 100,000 then Jordan said 200,000 jus saying been wrong before tho cuz I don't 200 bucks would hurt even in the 90's 😂
That was cute. But I got my money on GOAT JAMES.
🤣🤣🤣
The funny thing is mj was great and never got to his full potential if he got ride off all his bad habits like lack of sleep bad eating habits we would have really seen something out off this worl
changing his eating, sleeping, recreational patterns doesnt mean jordan wouldve played better...if anything, (with the level of fame & pressure he lived under) eliminating those vices probably wouldve led to him being miserable, playing worse & for fewer seasons.
@@AnonYmous-mh2usthat don't make sense, not even alil bit
@theyoungone5034 What he probably means is his vices is what helped him. He was arguably the most famous person in the world. The lifestyle he created for himself he benefited from or it would have affected his game.
he was already something out off this world lol
@@ziginaigrawhat’s CRAZY is his 88-89 season : the Man AVERAGED 32/8/8 playing POINT GUARD……as an EXPERIMENT….., but stopped it because he “wasn’t comfrortable with it”…😐😐😐😐😐
Just think about that….across the board statistically, he had a better season than ANY of Lebron’s, Bird’s, or Magic’s - Bird and Magic had higher assist OR rebounding numbers, but not both - playing OUT OF HIS NATURAL POSITION.
Scottie was “the playmaker” for the Bulls, yet he only ever had TWO seasons where he averaged over 8 rpg…he never averaged 8 apg or more…
…that on top of being one of the 7 best defenders in the League???
Insane doesn’t even BEGIN to explain MJ…
wilt better
MJ don't tell when he loses on all the dumb ish he bets on in his life. He's waaaaay down on gambling. Probably 8 figures.
He didn't tell this one either and he won. Somebody else told it.
@@jtremaine23 He told it to the Suns coach and bench as soon as it happened. Winning $400 on a pre-season bet isnt worth bragging about.
@@OLLIE-ILL We're talking about the most competitive person to play any sport. It could have been $4...he would have told the coach and bench lol. But I think he was really telling the coach that's why they weren't playing more so than how much he won.
@@DeeRG Don't need to be an accountant, just literate and know basic gambling odds. The baseball retirement conspiracy theory actually has some meat to it and I usually laugh those things off.
The funniest take away from this story is that MJ in '88/'89 (a huge star, but not at his peak) would kick it with the other team IF they would gamble at his cash poker game and make side bets on top of that.
Proves Jordan had a gambling problem
He has a competitive problem
Competitive gambling
Obviously. That's been public knowledge since the early 90s.
**ANOTHER JORDAN D-RIDER STORY....THE NEW FAD!!!!**
And you're a mad lebron fan because these hits keep on coming. Lebron is not cut outta that cloth. That's ok "lil Johnny!" He can still be you're hero. But he ain't MJ.
@@Dennis-bu9gr D-Head. You are comparing a Ferrari to a Lamborghini??? But dumb enough to NOT see they are both Great. Ford FOCUS ass??? Smh lol.
Funny how you Jordan heads are completely ignoring how he was so tight with the other team he was playing cards ALL NIGHT with them. Thought that wasn’t a thing “back in the day” but not only that he wouldn’t let them leave so he purposely tired them out so he could drop 40 on a rookie. Then got the nerve to say what LeBron would’ve done.
Cope
Those top guards in the 90s would be sitting at the end of the bench or playing G league in todays game . None of them can guard anybody .
Who in todays game could guard Jordan? btw, if you think it was only guards checking Jordann, then you’re showing that you might not have really watched those 90’s games.
Those guards could actually sidestep without getting their tendons obliterated like todays babies.
Riiiiiight. Joe Dumars (HOF), Clyde Drexler (HOF), Reggie Miller (HOF), Mitch Richmond (HOF), Drazen Petrovic (HOF), Sarunas Marciulionis (HOF), Sidney Moncrief (HOF), Ray Allen (HOF), Kobe Bryant (HOF), Allen Iverson (HOF) all just riding the pine on the G League in todays NBA right? Not to mention non-HOF stars and many multiple AS guys like Rolando Blackman, Dale Ellis, Hersey Hawkins, Reggie Lewis, Jeff Malone, Nate McMillan (2x All Def), Ricky Pierce, Alvin Robertson, John Starks, Reggie Theus, Steve Smith, Derek Harper, Dan Majerle, Latrell Sprewell, Allan Houston, Isaiah Rider, Eddie Jones, Michael Finley, Jalen Rose, Jerry Stackhouse, and Penny Hardaway would have NO SHOT to play in TODAYs NBA. GTFOH youngin.
Which actual guard plays D in today's league? I just need to give you 2 names in the 90s, and they play better D than anyone right now. Joe Dumars and Gary Payton. Tell me you don't know ball without telling me you don't know ball.
Wtf. Nobody is guarding anybody in today's league. Is defense still a thing? I mean it's a highway in the paint. I remembered when old man MJ schooled physical prime Marion who when he was 33 gave LBJ fits in the finals. CONTEXT. So don't compare eras as what MJ said...
These Jordan Gambling stories make my fkn day it's nostalgic like the N64
Lebron the greatest scorer ever
😂😂😂😂
