Not always, there are athletes who are motivated by the need to dominate, and then there are those who don't play just to beat the competition they play to be better than themselves every day. You can find legends who follow each strategy but at the end of the day, it depends on what drives you. It is clear MJ always had a need to dominate and there is nothing wrong with that. Kobe was the type of player that played against himself not against others and that motivation made him one of the most hard-working players in the game, ever.
@Yk Just stop, now you are just making excuses when someone fucks with him he gets even period, when someone fucks with Jordan he makes you pay period. its the same damn things just different words. get over it.
"You think you' re MVP? That's fine...You think you can call me out? That's fine... You think you can guard me? That's fine...You think you can talk during my camp?? That's fine...." MJ has difficulty dealing with fine things....lol :) Best ever.
Thats your point of view, “a complete athlete” he how do you define athlete? compared to for example mayweather. Undefeated best defense, how do they compare?
I like how Ewing says "He never dunked on you??? He never put you on a highlight???" like it was normal thing for Mike to do and every player been there 😭😭😭
Having a personality like MJ's would be a huge drawback in most people's lives. Lucky for him to be so talented in basketball, that he could make his personal characteristics work to his advantage.
@@fidelioal I think not. You have to take into account, that his physical talent in basketball is immense and by far the main reason he did so well. Also, in basketball it's possible to score on a team or player, or defend really well, but in most fields it's difficult to take action against the person you feel slighted by
I think it’s more conditional, we don’t live our lives on a day to day basis being competitive with who we interact with, most people MJ interacted with were in the same competitive field, I feel what you saying but it’s diff
@@fidelioal Not really. Narcissists like that usually ruin everything they come into the contact with. He got lucky to have his own niche where it was possible to succeed. Even as a sports director at Wizards his personality caused failure, and I wouldn't even mention Bobcats/Hornets.
The first sentence was so true. He invited all these people to play basketball when he was filming Space Jam just so he can learn each of their game better.
Bruh like, most guys playing are over 6'5'' with enormous hands, he had bigger hands than his size but he also had a very important thing the GRIP, ive seen guys with smaller hands having great grips and guys with large hands haveing butterfingers, its not the size its THE GRIP and technique you have to hold onto the ball.
"I was a little bit upset that it snowed in New York the night we were playing there. I'm not saying it shouldn't snow - all I am saying is that fueled the fire in me. From that moment on, snow became personal with me. - MJ
“I found that a little unjust when they gave my group members who were slacking off a better grade than me, despite doing all the work. I’m like cool, fine you could give them a better grade than me, now from that point on that teacher was on my list and every encounter with that teacher became personal with me.
I think the best part of all these stories is Mike is never the one who starts the beef, per se It all starts from someone talking sh!t, or a perceived slight. When other guys tell Jordan trash talk stories, they also admit someone else started He's the greatest player who ever played, and could talk trash, anytime, but he doesn't. He just wins.
people forget the backdrop for this epic game ..... Michael missed most of this season due to him breaking a bone in his foot. The Bulls powers that be didn't want Michael to risk further injury by coming back at all ... but he did anyway. and Chicago was playing Boston. IN THE OLD BOSTON GARDEN. this probably was the best team (over the course of one season) in the 1980's. prime Larry Bird, prime Kevin McHale, prime Robert Parrish .... this Celtics was better than everyone ... they knew it ... and they told you so. That Boston team lost one game at home during the regular season (still dunno how that shit happened). MJ wasn't a great jump shooter in those days, but he still was dropping jumpers on the WHOLE squad in dropping 63 (still a playoff record) in Game 2 of the opening-round series, a double OT loss ... Boston never had another playoff game decided by single digits. lol
He's so competitive that getting into his head manages to work against you instead of for you, the best way to get him off his game was to flatter him before a competition lmao, no one tried it ever.

For real. Way better than don't take it personally, which to me is don't care about it because there's no emotion involved and you're better off. WRONG. Emotions are the reason WHY we become better.
Sheesh, Van Gundy and George Karl fucked with the wrong one 😄 I bet in the back of the opposing players' mind when MJ was on the floor and they wound up getting torched, they looked at their head coach and was like "Really dude🤨 You are adding fuel to the fire of THAT guy🙄?!?"
Talk about your kindergarten teacher. MJ: Oh man...when she gave the other kid a gold star and I got the silver star, it affected me. Just knowing that she thought he was better then me was enough. So you think he's the best? Okay, fine..imma show you that he's not.
Well thats kinda what happened to him in his young days He was cut from his varsity team so he took it very personal and set his competitive fire to be a great player and eventually he went to college and the NBA
When Michael Jordan found out that Gangstarr did a song called "Take It Personal" and that's all I need for them to do that and it became personal for him
Im 39 and grew up idolizing MJ. If he played today, which is often talked about, he would literally DESTROY the league The fact that can't even arm check anyone anymore would make it impossible to guard him. Literally impossible.
He took the game serious and had pride in his job and if you don’t take it personally and stand up for your self and team you don’t love the game he’s still the greatest and remains one of the greats the game was called by the refs way different than the show they let the play today
In numerology... he's a Master Number 11. You can't win against that...we take people trying to compete with us personally. Once you cross us... game over 😂
That's crazy that van gundy would even say that. I mean I never played past high school but I always played harder against my friends and vice versa...
He is the GOAT no doubt but yeah he was & is kind of an asshole, a lot of anecdtodes that make me dislike him as a person, I have to watch Space Jam to recover that image of cool bloke he displays there, cause man there are a lot of anecdotes out there that make you What the actual fuck . I specially have 2 that make me dislike him as a person the Chamillionaire one of the picture & the bodyguard with the Cinnamon Rolls those 2 show this dude was not only a sociopath but an actual jerk.

There will never be another like him.
