Without 84 Jordan, lebron never falls in love with basketball and he goes on to play football instead
Moreno12 straight facts
Or soccer. Lmao. The way he flops
@@algladyou or he'll be in some Mexican telenovela, because he's also a drama queen
Um lebrons favorite player was ai he said that saying that ai represents what black kids are about
@@vkirua8193 the why does he wear 23, why does he say he was chasing the ghost in chicago, why is he so obsessed in chasing rings, why is he producing space james 2?
Make a video "If Draymond Green kicked a player in the nuts during the 90's"
Nobody would talk about it or whine like you in the 90's
+Connor Mead or he would get the shit beaten out of him by the other players... Smh why you comin at me thinkin I'm all soft and shit. Fuck outta here
+Connor Mead it was obviously a joke
Hodor.
oh he would get torn apart for all the illegal screens he sets way b4 he could kick somebody in the balls lol
This was a great simulation except for one MAJOR plot hole... Kobe’s play style is modeled after Jordan’s, move for move. I wonder if Kobe would have been as skilled if he didn’t have Jordan to model after.
its not easy to copy jordan....even myself and others have tried....Kobe is the true clone of jordan....i didnt hate kobe but we could have made or add other moves like jordan took from Dr J and made is own moves....the diference between jordan and kobe its that natural instinct of not losing a fucking playoofs finals....he was a leader...he was rude he was beating people but i guess for u to be the best you have to be there and only there on top.....like it or not...we will never see a player with that mentality....thats why jordan is still the goat
@@celsoalexandre9118 amen
@@celsoalexandre9118 yeah if lebron had less faith in scrubs like old Jr and other crap Cavs players they might've won an extra chip but Jordan would still be the goat
Kobe is modelled on second three peat old Jordan. First three peat and prime Jordan there is no carbon copy
celso alexandre rip Kobe
4:56 "Michael Jodan"
wat
TWB Lol
what if the best team from each franchise played at the same time??
Kal Stewart good idea
Kal Stewart badass
Lechoking Since 2003 lol
Kal Stewart good shit
Kal Stewart this would be great
I guess Kevin durant just fucking died lol wtf happened to OKC in this
u mean sonics
better yet what happened to the bobcats
+Edgar Saldivar their owner suddenly joined the NBA as a player
CTFU!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂....Rite....
if u payed attention one time in the east and west records it showed that the Bobcats went 7-59
What if BRIAN SCALABRINE played in the 1950's NBA?
chendaddy White Mamba!!!! He might make a starting rotation.
@@justinrakestraw4142 nah he would average about 292,322,232,323,654,343 points, assists and rebounds per game before the infamous "scal" rule which permitted scal and scal only to not be able to shoot, pass, or move in front of the opposition's hoop. but, he only average 30 points rebounds and assists less
@@jayvader9023 There is no way he would've averaged 292,322,232,323,654,343 points, assists and rebounds per game.
Like c'mon, he'd average WAY more. 501,324,679,211,765,900,104,502,965 points, assists, rebounds, steals, and blocks. At LEAST.
chendaddy SCALABRINE back to back rookie of the year
@@jayvader9023 what cimes after zillions other wise it cant be read. Or can it. Somebody execellent in Math help solve this
There is a flaw in this system... Dwight Howard Unfortunately would never have been able to play with Michael Jordan and his intensity. Howard has proven that he just doesn’t take criticism well AT ALL. Jordan would have been “too tough” on him.
Howard went to the finals. He’s been 2-3x DPOY. Dude is a freak of nature. He’s on my 2nd team all time.
fc_jwhy ur tripping hard af if he’s in your top 2 centers
or maybe he just didnt care. he's making money and getting laid. also depends on how you define tough...1 on 1 ball...mj would probably win skills wise but if dwight wanted to really hurt jordan by being tough...you'd have to be dumb to bet against dwight. there is a reason why combat sports have weight classes. if you think 80s and 90s..they actually tried to hurt and be tough with jordan ...you my friend need a reality check. how many times was jordan busted open?? look at how van fleet was busted open a month ago on an inadvertent elbow and ask yourself why jordan didnt bleed when everybody went for him hard. at a certain age, you have to realize we were at a very impressionable age when jordan played and that clouds our nostalgia A LOT
@@Futballr420 This guy isn't even a top 10 center. The centers back in the day were insane.
@@salman13 thats not what they mean by tough, their probably aiming at the point that Howard and Kobe didnt work because Kobe called Howard soft cause of his work etich etc... I just dont think Howard would fit on a team with Jordan the same way he didnt fit with Kobe, he dont have that mentality
What if Jordan's dad pulled out
no chill haha
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Nike wouldn't exist
+Rpp Wing nike? You mean the jordan shoe brand?
He decided KD wasn't good enough to be drafted in '07
Caleb Denton Thought I was the only one who noticed this. Guess KD was chopped liver or something. 😒
I don't think you understand. He named the top picks that changed teams. KD goes to Seattle still. Thus, no special mention for KD
They don’t allow snakes in the draft
THE_LAG_GOD what about LeBUM
@@Lotta-Boost exactly! What about him
The thing is Michael Jordan has such a drive for success that he could make any era his own
What?
nor really, I am pretty positive that if MJ would of play modern basketball, he would of been just like a normal elite player.
Skill tho?
@@CARLOUS-gt5iu nah more defense then then offense too tho loll dummy smh.
taco BS he would’ve been a better derozen offensively
"Drrrick Rose becomes a trailblazer"
Fitting.
Hey Guys,
When I hit 100,000 subscribers, I knew I had to make you guys a video that showed my appreciate for your overwhelming support. The growth that our community has had is nothing short of INSANE. And so, when thinking of a topic for my 100k special, I decided that I didn't want to do something cliche like a Q&A. I decided that I wanted to give you guys the content you want, and the videos you guys most request are my What If Videos. So as a thank you for 100,000 subscribers, I created this What If for you. It was definitely the hardest video I have ever made, as I had to go back 12 seasons as well as add a completely new player into the modern NBA. But it was definitely worth it, because I know you guys will enjoy it. So again thank you, you guys are the best supporters in the world.
Mike
PS. It's crazy to say, but it looks like I'm going to hit 200k in the not so distant future. With another milestone in mind, I wanted to know what you guys think of me creating another channel when I hit 200k for videos that do not fit on this channel. On my other channel I could do some funny videos like "Reacting to my old videos" (Trust me, I have TONS of cringy old videos) and also do some vlogs when I do something cool and play some NBA 2k. Let me know if you guys are interested, and if you are I'll make it happen!
mike do what if james harden was never traded or melo was never traded
Dude ik you are going to be a huge CZcamser, you'll be so big you'll run out of ideas for what ifs, then you'll have to play 2k for us hahah anyway great video
thanks Mike! your awesome
nice achievement Mike, my friend and I we're actually talking about your Jordan video on why he isn't human and had a fun talk. I'm all up for watching you play 2k and hope to play you sometime
PS. where's my what if Granger never got hurt and pg13 was never discovered and cp3 switched with Dwill draft lol
+Mike Korzemba How do you do these
If Jordan played in the modern era then what would happen from the 80s and 90s without Jordan ???
ThatBoyRaww 1 the jazz would have 2 championships
Knickerbockers would have at least one too!
ThatBoyRaww 1 easy iverson or kobe would take over
Seatle and jazz will won championship.
ThatBoyRaww 1 the lakers might have won another or maybe the pistons, the jazz would have multiple titles Seattle would probably have one the Knicks to maybe and Phoenix and Portland
If Michael Jordan hadn't played when he did, half the NBA players of the more recent era, including Iverson (who would likely have gone to the NFL), would probably not even have played basketball, and therefore not be in the simulation.
And this is the true impact of Michael Jordan on the game, and why he is truly the greatest of all time: he made the NBA what it is today, and had the greatest positive effect on the game, ever.
This is the true main point. He was the reason everyone was watching basketball from 87 onward. People were watching him to see him win or to hope he would lose. Basketball would never have risen to its prominence it has had since then. And even after he retired, the world was already hooked and there were still lots of prominent players to watch. It seems to me that the NBA has run out of such players since then.
if jordan played in the modern era he will be the face of the apple products😂😂😂air apple 1
What if Jordan never left to play baseball and stayed with the Bulls..... 8-peat?
most likely wouldn't, because Hakeem was hungry for championships and was the most dominant player at the time. He also lost Horace Grant (a key player when he 3-peated), and got swept in the 95 semi-Conferece finals against the Magic (the team Horace Grant signed with).
CZcams's official W/L referee if jordan would never have retired they would have definitely won 8 straight. They lost to the magic after his retirement when he had taken over a year off and he was still rusty from his "baseball" experiment. Nobody was more hungry than mike in any era.
They wouldn't, rockets had the bulls' number back then
Nah bruh gotta disagree, jordan never went to a game 7 in the finals. That rocket team u talking about took 7 games to get rid of the knicks, which jordan always beat.
Yep, the Bulls had problems with the Rockets.
can u do one if LeBron played in the old era?
Truhb4sho JORDAN'S ERA WAS FILLED WITH CUPCAKES!!! LEBRON WOULD WIN 10 RINGS!!!
Ewing in the 40's!
chrispin who? hulk hooligan? You are an Idiot
cakesandpi lebron stronger than 85% of players in that era
DefinitelyNOTJordan so if Lebron played in 80s he would have training,practice and suplements from nowdays...you think Lebron will look like in 80s like today??? This is not time traveling...Cristiano Ronaldo in Pele era would be skinny bitch...Now do you imagine what would do Jordan with nowdays conditions,suplements and rules?
One thing everyone forget to mention is MIchael Jordan IS the most technically sound player of basketball till now… His technique was flawless… so given the modern times , he still has a significant edge over everyone,, back in his time, when the game was more hard, jordan rules, bad boy pistons, and tough refrees , he was still able to reach the rim… Today it will be a cakewalk for him … he will find a way for sure to beat every obstacle
Very true
Jordan can’t even dribble the ball by todays standard 😂
@@roverjohnson6854what ya yappin bout my boy?
@@roverjohnson6854 *lebron. #1 in turnovers per game? lebron
Y’all can chill we all know if Brian Scalabrine was in this Modern Nba he’d be averaging 157.7 ppg 57 assists 89 rebounds 45 blocks and 77 steals a game and also a
101x champ 263 all nba first team 507 time mvp and he’d be better than Jordan
I think you're looking for the "What If Brian Scalabrine Played in the 1950's" simulation.
A 7-foot "freak athlete" who can shoot 3-poin--I mean, very long 2-pointers 23 feet away from the basket.
Dead meme
@@chendaddy Wilt was bigger with better conditioning and a 36-42 vertical.
Rian Villareal scalabrine the goat 😂😂
And with 99% from 3
Kobe wouldn't have been as good as he was. He wouldn't be able to use Jordan as a blueprint and copy his moves from a young age
ups guvnah YES YES YES PREACH
Did Jordan not copy those from other great players before him as well...
Car Ramrod Kobe stole each and every one of MJ’s moves and he is also talking about the simulation
He didn't copy moves but he did look up to stars like David "Skywalker" Thompson and Dr. J.
Mike was a mentor to Kobe. Not sure who the originator of this quote but "Good artist borrow, great artist steal; I'm great because I stand on the shoulders of giants".
When you mentioned the top SG during the '03 season, you forgot a certain someone who averaged 32ppg, 6.5 rpg, 5.5 apg and was considered the top SG at that time. His name? Tracy McGrady.
J.P. Czerniak she
that was really well done. good job. imagine if MJ played in the 50's with Bill Russell..
Not with against
@@jasonwins5516 that wouldn't be a great matchup, they played different positions and russell wouldnt be able to defend him very much. he would eat the guy defending him and whoever bill was on would never get the ball. with would be better.
Look at the stats. Lebron gets more rebounds than Jordan. So Lebron is still the G.O.A.T. Lebron James is much better than Mike Jeffrey Jordan. This is why Jordan changed his jersey to 45, so Lebron could wear 23. So Lebron would be a trend setter, and ORIGINAL, who played so well that he made his number popular.
@@nymphopath9816 lmaooo MJ won 6 Championships and has more MVP wins than Lebron
@@nymphopath9816 Bron avgd less than 2 more rebounds than MJ . Bron is a Forward, MJ a SG btw 🤣🤣🤣
What? Jordan losing in the Finals? Blasphemy!
Steven A Smith: Am i a joke to you
he would with those teams
@@eduardopoceros7737 MJ is good in forging team skills i know they'll come around
Cheeze Zlayer He should do one that says “what if Jordan was drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2003” and had the same teammates as lebron
@@enterzync2630
Then Cleveland is lucky to have Jordan in their team not just that he will carry them but also he himself will inculcate good knowledge and work ethics to these young bloods! to be good solid team players and world champions!
w/c is very very different in bron
If Jordan played today he would still be the greatest. If he never played, the game would not have evolved as quickly. One of a kind in every way. No other like him.
Chris Peterkin really good point. A lot of players that are in the game today wouldn't even be there without MJ's influence on the game. He changed the NBA.
lol just imagining Rose + Jordan
U don't have to imagine just play all time bulls
Zamin Ahmed underrated
I did that on nba 2k14 blacktop lol
Most electrifying duo of all time
@@marquishoward9504 Curry and Wilt...
jordan and d'rose would be an insane team
Man, shut your mouth! They are NOT insane! Besides, Jordan won't play with a ball hog, unless it's himself. Or me. People who can be counted on to steal the inbound pass from my own teammate in final moments in game 5 against jazz to blow the game. "Shhh.." I know, I know. Its okay to showcase Pippen grumpy at Kukoc having final shot, but when MJ does it, do NOT show the footage in The Last Dance. Its not like Kukoc was ON FIRE, and would have most likley hit the shot to win an NBA finals game. Oh WTF...what am I saying? I love MJ, but I was disgusted to see him do that. Recently I carefully watched the game 5 again, and compared Toni shooting to MJs, and then realized what had happened in the final moments. The pass was intended for Toni, on Phils decision, and MJ was 2nd option, but then MJ dived in front of Toni, and INTERCEPTED the pass...then FAILED. (MJ didn't want to WIN, he wanted to be THE ONE to make them WIN. Deservedly so...but in an NBA finals game...when Toni was on fire, and MJ was in shooting slump? NOTHING can taint MJ's legacy, because his game is perfect. But that was his darkest moment. Hey, am I indirectly sharing video ideas with Mike Korzemba? Nobody would dare mention, let alone make a video of MJ about that incident...people would take it as basketball BLASPHEMY. And Lebron fans would be living their wildest wet dream. Thank God, I mean thank Mike that most people do NOT read. I admit that sometimes I troll for fun, when something spontaneously witty comes along. But what if I'm not trolling about the MJ game 5 crunch time incident?
0:25 Whenever Jordan dunks, he turns it into an art!
If Jordan played in the modern nba he'd probably have a neck tatt.
😂
Jajajajajja
Never. he is smooth as silk.
Lol yes he would!?
Lmao
I think this dude mike deserves his own show on like SC or ESPN or something because he's just golden, I get notifications on a new video you upload and I get instantly hyped from it lol it would be great to see you do things like this on tv
That would be sick! Thanks for supporting my man
+Mike Korzemba no doubt man, keep up the great work and sick videos!
with ya all the way on that one!
almost 200k man keep it up
Facts
Being born in the early nineties between his greatness and space jam lmao this man is my hero
If Micheal Jordan played in modern NBA all of Chicago’s rivals are screwed
Bird would dominate in the league now. lol are you kidding me? what idiot thinks he would be a scrub? lol
A 6'10 " power forward(cause that's where they would play him now) with almost unlimited range, great passing instincts, solid to above average rebounding which in today's game would be magnified because of his toughness, and a guy who could guard magic Johnson and even Michael Jordan when he was past his prime with a bad back. Yeah I'm sure no team would want that. Aren't stretch 4's all the rage right now? As for questions about speed. If Luis Scola can even make a playoff bound raptors team with his speed at 36 much less start, then Bird would be able to run with these guys no problem, especially before his back problems
defensively he would be worse. Not athletic enough for fast paced modern NBA defensively. Would still be amazing offensively
Lakeshow nba. Hold this L. Bird would be horrible defensively? Do you watch basketball smh. And I'd start bird at the Sf postion, then sometimes play him at Pf. If bird were on the celtics
Thomas
Bradley
Bird
Sully
Johnson
58-24
+Jesus-is LORD wasn't even alive in 80s but from what I've seen he doesn't have much athleticism or strength... I think he would easily get crossed up by the many elite PGs in the league.
+Jesus-is LORD that's Y I think he would be WORSE defensively in today's league.. this era has the most physical strength + athleticism by far
I see what u did here.
Jordan = Jordan
Roy = Pippen
Dwight = Rodman
Scola = Kukoc
Deng = Longley
Korver = Kerr
korver is better then kerr. Pippen>roy
Jimmy=Pippen
there may be infinite parallel worlds out there and in kerr is better player in all of them
Gabe Lipsitz you mean Jordan = Kerr right
He'd be fine.
Probably the only athlete I ever remember watching where -when I watched -I knew I was watching 'true' greatness right before my eyes.
You never thought about the players like Kobe who used all of Jordan’s moves
Do what if draymond got suspended
l0l
thunder win lol
lmao
💀💀💀
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What if Kobe was found guilty of rape
his career is ruined
Yes!!!!
More like what if Kobe played like trash durring that trial? Like Dave Chappelle said "every body in LA would of been like that N***** is guilty"
That would be suck. I hated Kobe for several seasons, but after all he is not that bad, I will miss him and his scoring show(only in season game of course).
LMFAO
The storytelling and production in this reimagining is awesome. Great job. Never a dull moment
That is ALL the LOVE people can show in 6 years since this was made. SMH There are too many undercover HATERS, and envious assholes. Many people probably wish THEY MADE THIS, but haven't the heart, commitment, drive or brains to put it together themselves. We are in the most parasitically unappreciative, flamboyantly envious, unimaginative, inconsiderate, unloving, consumerist, vapidly empty, unphilosophical era of human history.
I like Mike's attitude, and love his videos. But one thing I disagree with, is when he says, "You're awesome". Or whatever it is to appeal to the audience watching. People parasitically subscribe for the content, but as far as I know, they show no real appreciation, love, gratitude and expressed thanks to Mike K for all the hard work put into consistently making top class videos. His commentary deserves him an earned NBA analyst job on ESPN. Comparisons DO count in this world, as much as people pretend they don't. And in reality, he shits on all the analysts, except Stephen A. Smith, who would be gems working together.
50/50....learn to share!
Yeah I rewatched this and I disagree with something. In 2013 The Heat defeat the Bulls in the conference finals. Then the Heat go on to defeat The Spurs in 2013. Then in 2014 The Spurs go on to become a laser sharp and focused Military of a team and they defeated the Heat with the largest margin of victory in NBA history. Sorry, but no. I don’t see Jordan and The Bulls defeating that 2014 Spurs team.
Also, the narrative that Jordan could never get past Tim Duncan would be a thing. Tim Duncan becomes Michael’s modern Larry Bird.
Great NBA fantasy story. Please do more. So great old duo's would be interesting to see as well :)
Moral of the story,MJ would destroy anyone any team in today's basketball
Infamous Tom Not for sure though because in this NBA you're allowed to play zone defense. MJ even said he wouldn't have had the career he did if Zone defense was aloud in his time period.
Zone Defense is the reason why Lebron Was ass in the 2011 finals
Agreed.
airjudden2.tripod.com/jordan/
MJ played against zone defense in college and faired well, in a controlled Dean Smith system (winning 2 POY awards). Also, the zone plays into a strength of Jordan, it opens up for a good mid-range jumpshot shooter. Good try friend.
You should have the "What if the 90's Bulls played in the modern NBA?"
*95'
+Chris Paul 90's includes 95
+Ethan Lasisomphone Hah. 😂
Buy 2k and do it yourself lol.
I really like that idea.
I wish that Jordan did play today so we could see how dominant he really would be
Mj's era was full of monster skillful centers yet he even manage to dominate and humiliate them....
he would be the best scorer in the league but would barely win anything, players today need more skills than scoring to win
@@clover7726 Jordan was a heck of a defensive player, probably one of the best defensive guards of all time.
Could you do what if LeBron James played in the 90s?
ANGRYGAMER 05 very short video
LeBron would score every time he drove to the rim if he played in the 90s
More people would say he’s the goat.
Lebron wouldn’t be an All time great
He would still be great.
Now you need to do a video if Michael Jordan never existed, like who would have won all of the titles i the 90s
Jazz would have
+Daniel Laughlin or knicks, or rockets, the list goes on
Makes me sad to even think of the NBA without Jordan
Patrick Ewing would have at least two rings.
+LIVEFRMNYC he could've had one but no, he wanted to layup instead of dunking the ball like any 7footer would do.
what if wilt chamberlain played in todays nba??? can you pls make a video about it?
Go bucks
he would make a 200 point
Damn i watched the whole thing without looking away once. This was fun. Great job!
So you did this playing NBA 2K16? That is awesome! I would love to do this!
If MJ played in today's game he would be even faster, stronger & more athletic than he ever was before.
exactly because of all the new training technology and stuff
Nick Sylve my point exactly
Same with wilt they would be scary
+mrslick58 wilt would be stronger than bron
+EJ Atienza wilt already is stronger than lebron
This is actually funny from one stand point of view - without Jordan it wouldn't be Kobe, there wouldn't be Spurs, Allan Iverson and many others who propably wound't went to NBA or wouldn't even be playing basketball if not for Jordan. So the league now is somewhat modelled by him.
He was such an incredible athlete, that in Europe, even in my native Poland ordinary people would wear Bulls caps every day. He was and will be legendary not because how many rings he had, but because he made this sport one of the coolest and most entartainig thing on this planet. You can call him the God of Sports.
And going back to question from the title - I think he would still dominate. Just look at how he figured out and destroyed Carter in his prime at age 38.
It's almost impossible to compare, without the bad boys pistons, Jordan would've been less great. He did say that himself, how they impacted his style of play and mindset
+deXter2 So your saying the whole dynamics of the league would be different if Jordan never came??.
I think exactly the same
deXter2 I
ZackaryR Gambrell Maybe he wouldn't have even play the game of basketball but another sport with another idol.
Brandon Roy has rookie of the Year written all over him
literally
There’s one problem. You assumed every trade and draft for the bulls would pan out and that they’d all develop the same.
That’s one of the many issues. It’s a fun concept to play around with but there’s never gonna be any answers because of variable just like the one you mentioned. I think the league is much deeper with talent these days so it’s hard to say if they’d blow through competition the same way even if all the Bulls draft picks and trades still did work out
If you keep making vids like this then you'll reach 1 million subs in no time man
Thanks my man!
+Mike Korzemba Can you do what if Larry bird played in this Era?
I think it was accurate until the 14 - 15 season, by then dwight was a joke in the NBA defense was horrible and he had no post game. Curry and Thompson were unstoppable and nearly impossible to guard. PLus Goran Dragic was NOT the dynamic scorer he was in this vid, if i'm right he only averaged about 15 a game or something. Despite Jordan's best efforts Curry and Thompson trump him in that season. He can shut down one of them, but he can't guard both at the same time. But seriously, it was a great video
+Michael Torres nope
Ight well, what do YOU think. cause i'm going based of stats and what i saw from that season
Sick video Mike!
In this alternate universe, Kobe's game would be drastically different (his moves, awards, points, etc) because he wouldn't have modeled his game after Jordan.
Good point!
Gabriel Tse. None of Michael Jordan's so-called moves were new. The Globetrotters had been doing every move ever seen 25 years before Jordan was born. Pistol Pete Maravich had all the moves, also. Wilt dunked from beyond the free throw line before he ever played an oficial college game.
Take away Jordan, and everything is still on film.
you are appsolootly right and that is why i say this is a (fairytale) dumb ass video THANK YOU for paying attention
+Jeffrey Ragland shut the fuck up because you sound really stupid. Jordan invented the fade away
+Micheal Hardis im one of the biggest Micheal Jordan if not the biggest he did not create the fade it was mastered and more lethal when used by him
I love your dramatic opening lines, haha
Amazing bro
Bird would not be average let alone a scrub, have you ever saw him play...His game IQ, passing and shooting were world class and he had the same mentality as Jordan.His only flaw would maybe be quickness, but if we assume he had the same training as the players today, he`d also be much faster.He might not be the best like he was, but he`d for sure be an all star and team leader imo, as well as one of the best players in the league.
Fuck yeah, Larry Bird was a superb player. I love the story of his looking up at Bobby Orr's number.
BlueEyes Larry Legend would still be a top star! It's so disrespectful to even question it. These guys nowadays are strong for no reason. The game is 1/6 as physical it once was. Sure the modern guys seem fast but when you eliminate hand checking and general physicality that tends to happen.
What if Gilbert Arenas never pulled a gun on his teammate
yes
what if the teammate he pulled a gun on, Javaris Cridditon; wasnt in prison for being a REAL KILLER?
+Take this L;Ron Hubbard *Crittenton
love these vids man keep it up 🙌🏼
We need more “what if” videos as intense as this one!
One big issue, if Jordan comes after Kobe, there is no Kobe
Jordan and losing in the Finals, jajajajaja
Oh yeah you're right. B/c Kobe surrounded his game around MJ.
Paradox :O
I don't think so, Kobe said himself he learns from the best, those moves aren't Michael's
Orlando Leal aren't Michael's? his entire style, deamnor and every element is an MJ copy
Mike the GOAT
ayyy what up csb
True
love csd vids
K
Nah you are brotha
still watching this while on quarantine, and man you did a great job, no doubt MJ remains on top.. 😎👌💯
I love this video it’s so great and realistic great job
You should do a "What if Steph Curry played in the Jordan era?" Even though I wouldn't want to admit it he'd get way to beat up or injured but still would like to see it
Yessss
Isaiah got by fine
+SimonLYW true but he also had guys like Lambeer about to punch someone in the face if they gave isiah a bad look

What are you talking about? Even for the modern day, Wilt Chamberlain was an insane athlete. He was the LeBron of his era in terms of athleticism, and he was 7'1" to cap it off. He was a track star all throughout high school, reportedly had a 48" vertical (the same as Michael Jordans, and he was taller), he could run the court and AVERAGED 48.5 MINUTES PER GAME, IN A FASTER PACED GAME AND WITH ROUGHER PLAYERS. The NBA isn't nearly as rough as it was back then, and most stars play less than 40 minutes still. He averaged more minutes than were in a game for an entire season. That takes incredible stamina and athleticism. The fact that he was such an incredible athlete alone could get him through today's NBA, but if you compare it with a wide skillset, he would be a monster, and still be an all-time great Center assuming he was already used to the different NBA rules. He was the only person who could block Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's Sky hook as well, and regularly blocked shots as high as the backboard, and most people said he would have averaged 5+ blocks a game if they were recorded back then.
john terrik I wasnt around to see him or the 90s era but I did watch a couple games with wilt playing on nbatv he has nice post hook he played like d12 in orlando without the amazing dunks
Agree with everything you said. On top of the freakish athlecticism Wilt was incredibly skilled. He had a turnaround fadeaway off the glass( A la Dirk), a fingeroll, and he could face up from around 12 ft out and take it to the basket. Not to mention he was a great passer too, leading the league in assists one yr.(In an era where the assist was much harder to get). Its a lot of misconceptions about that era. Like the 6 ft 6 inch white guy myth.The avg height of a center is about the same as it is now. Maybe taller considering that they were measured barefoot back then( Wilt would be listed as 7'2 or 7'3 if he played now for example). Another misconception is the lack of competition. WIlt played against multiple hall of fame bigs( Russell, Kareem, Unseld, Thurmond, Reed, Bellamy etc) 10-12 times a year because there were only 8 teams back then. The center position in that day is sort of like the point guard spot today. I think prime Wilt, Rusell, Oscar, Jerry West, Baylor among others could easily play today and hold their own. Sorry for the rant I just hate when that era gets disrespected
+Willie LumpLump the average height for centers was 6'11 in Wilts years.....
Really cool video. I'm glad it dropped in my feed. Subscribed.
Yo when jordan was about to hit the game winner, i got an ad lmaoo
Anyone who says Jordan is the best of all time obviously hasn't seen Kwame Brown play.
PFBGaming exactly
PFBGaming you forgot about scali
PFBGaming I u think Mj isn't the best, then you don't like basketball
MoneySquad 30 obviously you don't know basketball if you couldn't sense the most obvious bit of sarcasm known to man.
PFBGaming I think tiger woods is way better
Yeah but if Jordan enters the league after Kobe in 2002 then Kobe wouldn't have had MJ to model his game after. He would be a completely different player. Same with Wade
Yeah, this was focused way too much about MJ
+Raymond Pham Umm... That's because it was ABOUT MJ....
good point!
jordan revolutionized the game bro, no jordan you have no kobe no lebron no wade
that is very true. he might not even be in the nba. that's probably to far, but u get the point.
none of this makes sense , a lot of players were influenced by Jordan, with no Jordan kobe wouldn't b what he was among other players
Man just enjoy the video 😭🤦♂️
You made a beast of a video good dam job
tell me where the fuck this message board is that says Bird is a scrub!
I have actually seen quite a bit of people say that. Usually they bring up his lack of athleticism
Vince Luoh But he has his post game and his 3 point shot.
Vince Luoh he didn’t need to be that athletic. That shot was deadly
lmao 'lack of athleticism' it's not like larry bird couldn't dunk, or was slow. People really just think he's a white hick and isn't athletic at all. That man was the cornerstone of the celtics franchise and beat Magic johnson's lakers, whom many consider to be one of the greatest teams of all time. all these fucks who say bird would be a scrub are brain dead
he's better then LeBron for a fact sure bird doesnt have athleticism But at least bird didnt try to be a one man show and made his team better thats what won him a ring
Jordan would have destroyed in the modern NBA.
nah i doubt that Michael Jordan will evolve also in this modern era if he ever played today there are lots of different factors that you don't see in the past and today because in the past for example its hard to dunk the ring in the NBA than today using soft ring than the past ,and its far more serious back in the day because of physical and trash talk they throw to you personally, which Michael Jordan is good at that many threats of life Michael jordan as just to sale his game, but he never did
and do you think he will not evolve in the game! if the rest of his team mates exist today it will be also tremendous teams together with him.
+troy kennedy mejares Hols this L dude Jordan would feast
Why... Do people who love playing devil advocate have to be atheist like the red color youtube above. Smh
Jordon would wreck in today's leave like he did in the era before and that's that.
+Jesus-is LORD lol mj would average around 40pts( for his career) he might be a little worse defensively at first because of no hand checking but after a bit he would be the best 2 way player in the league
Loved this video. Congratulations!
You should do a simulation with the newer players from 2003 to today playing with the rules from the late 80’s to 2002 when they changed. The physicality & hand checking just to see how it would affect the play & see who would stay stars, who would emerge as stars, & who would be no better than average.
if you want a 2000+ player playing against aggressive handchecking defense but also getting double team'd just look at a dirk highlight reel
What if LeBron had an healthy hairline?
his hairline make more money than your broke ass
+Mario Mendez you Makin fun of a niggas hair you gay as fuck
Man... I love this simulation! Well thought out, brotha! Awesome!
I want to go play NBA 2K now. Lol
this is simply amazing the time he took to do this,,,,, just wow
The reason Michael Jordan is GOAT, he literally changed the game of basketball.
He shaped the players we have (had) now with his athleticism, skill and hard work.
Kobe, Wade, LeBron, Iverson, McGrady, Westbrook, Durant, Rose (before his injury), Kawhi, etc etc...
Omg I can't even imagine how magic bird and mj would've DESTROYED today's league lol
thaRealFlamez I agree imagine with all the new excercise programs, personal trainers etc. paired with there basketball IQs it would be insane
bird would not, MJ would
Michael Jackson lmao bird would destroy the league
neither one for them would just destroy the league today.
I completely agree. No way either LeBron's last-year Cavs or the 2 years-ago, overrated Warriors beats the '87 Lakers, '86 Celtics, or the '96 Bulls. Maybe not even that Moses and Doctor J team with Cheeks and Toney and Bobby Jones, or the Bad Boy Pistons. Ike and Dumars would've destroyed the W's back-court, and their front line would've taken Draymond out of the equation. The only x-factor there is KD, but I tend to think Laimbeer, Salley, Mahorn, and Rodman would give him all he could handle. Lots of fouls to give at the FW position; KD is one of my favorite modern playas, but like 6'11' and 205 pounds. He's got a George 'Iceman' Gervin-type build. The more I watch old Bird highlights, the more I'm aware of what a talented player he truly was, and I'm saying that as a life-long Lakers fan, as well as a guy who hated the Celtics. The one guy I thing might have been as good then as he is now is my man Russell Westbrook, because of his insane athleticism. Not to take anything away from LBJ, because we've never seen anything like him, but it is, after all, a team game.
Anyone who thinks Bird wouldn’t dominate in today’s game is ignorant! 🤦♂️
No one liked your comment so you're wrong jk #BleedGreen
Bird would not have been as good. You know who Bird would been? Paul Peirce.
Greg Weatherspoon who could shoot way better
Greg Weatherspoon Luka doncic is a offbrand larry bird and is tearing up the nba I’d think he’d do just fine
@@gregweatherspoon7349 6"7 ( 215 ) Luca Doncic 6"9 ( 220 ) Larry Bird ? ?
I think you forgot to count that Kobe took alot from MJs game. But the big What if for me is if Lebron played in MJs era
I really enjoy ur videos
Mike,
Love your channel. With the Summer Olympics coming up could you please consider doing a series of videos about the 1992 Dream Team. Specifically the rumor that Michael Jordan did not want Isaiah Thomas on the team. The Greatest Game No Body Saw. How Jordan and Pippen guarded Toni Kukoc.
Definitely will have some dream team videos in the future!
Can you put this Roster on 2k16?
Zeke would not have made the dream team anyways he was injured that year
+Richard godinez-landeros he would've cause every team they played wouldn't even crack the 8th seed in either conference so he would've been ok
I hope he can do one for the team USA 2003. which is a way better team than the 2004 dream team
We all know Michael Jordan is way OP in 2K so chances are it wouldn't play out exactly like that
He doesn't use 2k to simulate, it's just a background
thats neat, what does he use?
+Packer Dog I'm not sure he used a different sim this time but he usually uses WhatIfSports simulator
He's not basing it off of 2k you idiot
thanks
Dang I love your videos
Congrats.. Great great work!
Because of their egos, Jordan and Bird on their peak will murder every star in the 2015-16 season.
*peaks
agreed, nobody today could stop either of them
no one today is falling for birds perimeter hesitation bs and jordan always got smoked by smaller guards like isiah and starks
smoked?.. give me a link or upload a video in here
I'll bet lethalfatality's GOAT is either Lebitch or the Curry kid.
Do what if Lebron could shoot a 3
roast
savage
haha
Shot above 40% two years unlike kobe lollll
if lebron had curry skills
Dude, this is awesome!
These vids are great
MJ was unstoppable! If everyone could re experience that whole era fresh it would be a no brainer that MJ and the bulls were the bench mark of all sports in the world and everyone knew it. MJ has the clutch stats and results. He is the GOAT
Look it up. Lebrons got hin beat on clutch fg % and shots made
@@kodaprice4105 His clutch is trash
i must say, this trash was entertaining. but overall awful.
💯
Yeah, this is just fiction. Zero insight or analysis.
Yea it is not accurate
Then leave.
What's wrong? I liked it. It won't be 100% accurate but accurate to a certain degree.
These vids never get old
Great video. dope simulation.
he would dominate this era like he dominated the 90s era
J ACOSTA deu
Hamza Beast he would overcame any challenge he came across in this era like he did in the 90s shit mj was obsessed with winning an being the best he could an doing everything in his power to win shit just look at his flue game
Hamza Beast draymonds not even that good
J ACOSTA doubt it just like the 80s he not heating superteams
J ACOSTA I'm..jhjhjlvxpijkooond!
One thing I have to throw in there though... the bulls would have no Phil Jackson. Wasn't until Phil that they started winning championships. I think this scenario plays out better if MJ doesn't go to the bulls in that draft. What if he ended up on the knicks or something? Now that would be interesting
Kelly Pagano the coach definitely makes the difference. Jackson has all thise rings because of his genius and not because he had the greatest player in the world, along with two of the greatest, with the most dominant center. but yea, they couldnt donit wthout the coaching
L..,
Kelly Pagano L L L L L
BodhiZaffa yeah Phill jackson won championships because of himself not because of guys like Jordan and Pippen or Kobe and Shaq..based on your comment Phill Jackson can go to the worst team in the nba without any star players and just flat out win championships with that team year aftet year lol..your a fkn idiot
NZ SUBZ3RO Yo, bro...look up the word SARCASM.
Good job Mike, this was a well made video
Awesome and very realistic. Loved it.
