    Underrated part of Mike's game is that he was, quite literally, NEVER bad. The most consistent athlete maybe ever?
    In his 13 years with the Bulls MJ scored 10 or fewer points twice. That's 2 games out of 930. One of those games was coming back from the broken foot, the other was a blowout win against the Hawks in '97 where he played 3 quarters.
    He only scored under 20 pts in a playoff game 6 times and 3 of those were blowout wins when he didn't play the whole game. If you look at his game logs on Basketball Ref it's stupid.

Mj was just to good so the best you can do in my opinion in be second best like Kobe Lebron Kareem and Wilt is fighting for but Mj is number 1 and Ant can maybe end up in the top 20 or top 10 but i dont believe he will ever be over Mike

The damage being done by the over advertising of these sports betting companies is absolutely insurmountable and infinite. It’s like if they started advertising crack on street poles in areas with large amounts of homeless people. It’s sickening to really look at the impact this is having right now and going to have on the next generation. I hope you see this and put some thought into what money drives you to do.

    Fun fact about Harold Minor/Michael Jordan:
    One of the sets of basketball cards I used to collect when I was a little boy had Harold Minor's rookie card (I think it was 1994 Upper Deck). On that rookie card, they had a picture of Minor in the background shooting a Jordan-esque fade away over the player in the foreground guarding him... Michael Jordan.
    There was a time when that card was the second most valuable card in the main set simply because it had Michael Jordan on the card. That was how much we all loved MJ.
    He was so good that when Iverson crossed him up and made him look uh, human for ONE play, that was the biggest news story in the NBA for a whole week.

    Great video. I'm 43, and I want to confirm the gut feeling part. Indeed, watching Anthony Edwards sometimes gives you the same magical chills with that MJ feeling. Kobe, LeBron, and others, like 2019 Kawhi, offered some comparably admirable moments, but never that Jordan electrifying feeling. I wish Anthony continues on this path so today's teenagers can live a similarly exciting and enthusiastic era with the MJ "I wanna be like Mike" one in the following years.

      It's cool, but the Curry Craze of the last 10 yrs has made people forget about the "heir apparent" craze that was gripping the NBA in late90s and early 00s. He just stands out today because the emphasis on the type of players the league was looking for changed; fewer athletes and bigs now in favor of more shooters.
      Ant would have fit right in the early '00s next to Finley, J Richardson and Jerry Stackhohuse. Not a Kobe, but enough "like Mike" to be in that convo.

      Like #8 was closer to #23 than #24 was (and that's largely due to the fact that Kobe's explosiveness really was no longer elite by his late 20s, while MJ kept most of it pretty much all the way until 98).
      2001-2006 Kobe was pretty close to MJ, but even by 2007 you could see some of that explosiveness go away from Kobe (he was a very good athlete, but not freakish by NBA standards).

  • @jmsa2760

    I get the similarity between Ant and MJ, but there is a big difference: exuberance. Ant is exuberant, he boils over, brings in a huge energy, talks trash as if he's on a street court. MJ did not do that. His energy was channeled into his game, destroying his opponents and winning the games. He was expressive and showed his confidence, but with Ant you think "Yeah, he's up for it, he ballin'!" with a fist pump. With MJ it was more like "He's in the zone, they are screwed" and then you just give a resigned shrug/smile combo. The energy is different. With Ant, as an opponent, it is "Here he comes" while getting ready. With MJ it was "Here I go..." while thinking about shower.
    Ant is amazing, but the mentality is what is missing. MJ was never just about his skills. It was his mentality. It is what made him unique, his decision to bend a game, a series and a championship to his will. Ant does not have that yet. Maybe will not have it to the same extent (Lebron and Kobe didn't).
    Let's just appreciate Ant for who he is. He is fun. Leave it at that.

    Jimmy's (jinx)predictions in last 4 years:
    2021: Suns (lose finals against Bucks)
    2022: Celtics (lose finals against Warriors)
    2023: Celtics (lose against Heat in conference finals)
    2024: Nuggets (lose in 2nd round against Twolves)
    It's getting worse

      What that means is Kobe couldnt palm the ball, Kobe himself said that he didn't have the first step or the hand size of MJ and thats what made him worse.
