Michael Jordan average 23 points on 1 Leg on the Washington wizard years and played 82 games!!!!! Michael Jordan The Goat 🐐
And didn't make the playoffs in either year. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is the true best ever.
Kareem needed Magic to win in his final years, he wasn't the clear best in every Finals he ever played like Michael was.
bruh not better than lakers lebron
LeBron is a statpadder who picks and chooses the games he wants to play. You think MJ would have been so beat up if he chose to sit out dozens of games every season? He was an old school player with the mentality to play all 82 games no matter what to not disappoint the fans. LeBron doesn't give two shits about his fans or the integrity of the game.@@sportstalkonly1442
@@sportstalkonly1442fake news
What I appreciate about MJ was that he did not take any shortcuts to greatness.
Wow... very underrated comment ! I grew in Chicago lol and I knew we were spoiled by how much we won . A whole decade of just winning... 95/96 season was heaven for Chicago lol city was on fire
NONE‼️💯
amen
@@thegigisup007you’re very lucky to have those specific memories, closest thing I can relate to is being from Detroit and being almost 10 years old watching the Pistons win it in ‘04 especially in the fashion they did it in. City was on fire and we went right back to the finals the next year too, barely losing to the Spurs in 7 though
MJ and Kobe sticked with one team. They didn't leave to go to Miami nor Golden State to win a championship
MJ out here callin people Hos 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ctfu!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
😂 and bitches too 😂
Hahahhahhahhahahahaha
Michael Jordan was the NBA
Exactly
The NBA hadn't been the same since tbh
Look at the shoes KG is wearing. That speaks volumes
Facts! Thought the same myself
Jordan is the godfather sneaker culture. You could even replace the phrase “sneaker culture” with “Jordan culture”. No culture without him
"MJ's annual take is an estimated $130 million, four times more than that of James, the No. 2 earner, with $32 million. Arguably, 16 years after he last laced up his own high tops on the court, more Jordan-branded shoes and apparel are being sold than the signature lines of every other current NBA player. Combined."-Forbes
@@pickle_soup160 not 16 after, it made 20 years last year...
I wear those too. It speaks volumes.
KG impersonating MJ lol "Whatever ho" 😂😂😂
Let’s talk about the Wizard years…
He was getting better and more efficient before his knee injury. Before his injury, he led the team in scoring, assists, and steals, averaging 25 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 steals per game.
In his last 20 games up to the injury he averaged:
27.5 - 6.4 - 5.2 - 1.3 - 0.5 on 44%
In his last 10 games up to the injury he averaged:
29.7 - 6.6 - 6.1 - 1.2 - 0.3 on 47%
In Jordan’s 46 games before knee injury the Wiz had a 26-20 (0.565 win%) record.. (this is a team that only won 19 games the season before)
In games without MJ and post-injury, the Wizards had a 11-25 (0.300 win%) record.
This is also despite the absence of Rip Hamilton for about a month during Jordan’s 26-20 stretch.
In the last 16 games that Rip and Jordan played together prior to Jordan’s knee collision, the Wizards went 15-1, and they won 13 straight games when both of them played together.
People act like the Wizard years were so horrible, yet never actually look closer for context.
Thank you for saying it. Tired of Jordan’s Wizards years being weaponized against him.
Exactly. Those numbers are good regardless of age but when you take into account he had been retired for 3 years and was 39-40 years old, they're even better with that context. I wish he didn't get hurt because I would've loved to see what he could do in the playoffs.
Well said man. Jordan's Wizards years are career high numbers for a lot of stars.
What's also not as well known is that he entered that season with a right knee that was riddled with tendinitis. He was getting stim treatment every game and was having it drained regularly. It was fucked up even from preseason, so even before he banged knees with Etan Thomas he was effectlvely playing on one good leg from the first game of the season.
GOAT.
look, all i know is he wiped ron mercers layup off the glass with 2 hands
Avg 23ppg with 0.1 3pt attempt per game. If he shot 4 a game and hit 1 he avg 25 or 26 a game. So.... He's very underrated those years
Can never take anything away from MJ's throne--He is a GOAT
The GOAT
Yea what Chris said ^
@@kw3674 I’m confused where people misunderstand there is no a GOAT there is the GOAT and then there’s everyone else
Yea idk either. Goat of Goats. King of Kings. Period.
@@chrishedricks308Can you use “One of the best” as a phrase?
Mike was the complete package. He set so many standards for excellence. GOAT
MJ man. That mofo was fun to watch. So many great moments.
yep these young cats don't know what they missed and watching video's on youtube doesn't do mj justice at all not the same.
That's the thing that puts MJ above LeBron in my eyes above and beyond. LeBron is boring af at least to me to watch at this late stage.
The Bulls are the only dynasty destroyed by the front office while on top. It was the sickening thing for us Bulls fans and they have not been good since.
Plus Rodman was getting out of control by 98 and Pip was injured and missed half the season to recover. MJ that year?!? MVP, scoring tittie, Def first team, 82 games played and chip plus dip. MJ is by far the GOAT. LBJ is Wilt if Wilt had chased rings earlier in his career.
I think owner Charlie O. Finley famously destroyed or broke up The Oakland A's MLB team in the early or mid 70s,, notably sending Reggie Jackson to the NY Yankees. It's a stretch to call the Athletics a "dynasty" but it was a great team at the time.
90s Cowboys
True dat.@@pickle_soup160
ALL managers from damn near all sports never played sports, so they don’t understand how long a dynasty team can really go, and don’t know when to end a dynasty. Felt like the bulls dynasty was premature. Feel like they could have at least won one more in that 98-99 season frfr. Wouldn’t been tough, but I think they could have pulled it off frfr. 7 titles? NBA players after that wouldn’t have even talked about going for that man ships fr
U GOTTA LET IT GOOO BRONNN FANSSSS..... like KG said "Mike is the goats of the Goats, The kings of the kings".....
...and apparently the douches of douches.
BRONSEXUALLL ALWAYS DELUSIONAL... @@Sbock86
Lebron will never be able to pass JORDAN and will never be better than JORDAN..even for the next 2000 years@@Sbock86
The thing so funny about the Jordan cocklickers is how yal always manage to thrust LeBrons name into talks no one even mentioned his name, insecure much?
You Lebrons haters/groupies need to stop worrying about that man. But since you mentioned it KG also called Lebron the goat.
Warms my heart to hear these 2 HOFers give Mike his proper respect. Word to Labron lovers.
Lol
Get off Bron nuts. This is about MJ. KG also called Lebron the goat on this show. Bet you hate that. 😂
Don't get me started. WTF do I care about "Bron's nuts"? They're in YOUR mouth and on your mind. He's the NBA GOAT of longevity ONLY; thanks to the best PED's modern science can provide. He spends a "Million dollars a year on his body." Right. I like and respect Labron, (loved The Heatles), but let's not get it twisted. For MY money, he can get in line behind Mike, Kobe Bird AND Kareem. He MIGHT get the 5th spot on my starting five, but I'd have to think hard. @@Daleoman
@Daleoman yes because he was paid to say such blasphemy!! While you'll cry cry baby LeFake Shames out there still in the league making a fool of himself consistently!!
@@cordellsenior9935 Lol, your list aint worth 3 cents
KG spittin facts about what Jordan did for the league.
Finally KG saying it like it is. And Paul too. MJ is the one and only GOAT
I live in Australia, have a 6 yr old nephew who knows nothing about b-ball, no one in the family has mentioned b-ball, then the other day I told him my middle name is Michael and he laughed and said "Michael Jordan". Ppl are constantly having this silly debate that Lebron is the goat, yet my 6 yr old nephew, in another country across the globe, has heard of player that hasn't played NBA b-ball in over 2 decades. That's MJ's impact. He is b-ball.
Mj made basketball a universal game.as an african living in africa,he had a serious impact on that sport.
It gave ppl hope, I was born here in chicago, when the bulls played no one was outside, I can't be mad because them making got a lot of their family out that tight spot, life gets hard, some didn't make, but they still had that fight.
A.I. was definitely the face during that era
this was one of the realest and truest explanation of MJs IMPACT that I‘ve ever heard! truly one of a kind explanation not only for basketball but for the sports world ! Thank You KG for keepin it 100 !
what did he explain that got your ass so horny? 🤔 stop the damn glazing. MJ has been retired over 20 years ago
MJ?... He is a forever icon.
Mind you the NBA was struggling with ratings after MJ retired in 1998.
Funny that it still is...
@@emanuelporter7029 The differences is the NBA struggle because MJ made the NBA global nobody was even close to it. And since 2013 NBA went woke after BLM and virtual politics.
@uncomfortabletruth2988 Good point...the league has become a dog and pony show... the majority of the players are doing the same thing as in play style... barely see the difference between a guard and a center...
Still are. Some of the worst rated finals are from this era
@@emanuelporter7029
That’s a great point. Like y? play your position ho! These players are getting bank while playing lazy ball. Nobodies hungry anymore.
KG the most loyal brother you can ever ask for
If you build an ideal player with ideal career ....his name will be Michael Jordan
Exactly
As an international fans. To put things into persperctive, MJ is to the NBA, what VR46 is to the MotoGP. I live in Indonesia, a southeast asian country. back then in the 80s, televised sports are football(soccer), boxing and badmintons. Unless, you’re in phillipines, there’s no way you knew that nba exist. However around 86-87, the tv station started televised NBA games, and other nba programs due to the rise of MJ. I was in elementary.
Anyway, when you go outside US, in some remote area, ask any strangers about NBA or Basketball.. most likely you’ll get MJ name that comes out from them. Lebron is great, so does Kobe. But MJ took NBA to global market/audience stardom. Any stars that came after, reaps the benefits of that.
Lbj vs MJ goat debates is kinda moot, play in different eras. I give the nods to MJ just because, w/o him. I’ll probably never thought of basketball.
If you think MJ vs LBJ goat debates was toxic.. wait till you go to football/soccer goat debates.
CR7 vs Messi goat debates, plays in the same eras, legendary achievements by both. The fans debates are epic both online and offlines, the level of toxicity rivals the chernobyl 😅😅😅
The Goat of Goats, the King of Kings.. K.G always had a way with words..
I love KG, what a brilliant story teller
Mad respect for these 2 Men. There Truly NBA Players!!!
Michael had the swag bruh! Do you know how hard it is to school grown men when you stick out your tongue like this👅 🤣🤣🤣
Yo man When KG talk you can see that suit as if you were THERE!!!!
MJ doesn't take illegal Ped's or pay Nick Wright to call him the goat like Lebron does. Mike is the GOAT.
Proof…
Tons of proof bro. ESPN alluded to the Nick Wright being on Lebron's payroll. Greene talked about it. Shannon Sharpe is also paid to call Lebron the GOAT. Also there is tons of proof that he takes illegal Ped's@@jmorgan780
Mike pays Stephen A, Skip, Broussard, Rob parker and others to call him the GOAT. He has a full army squad glazing for him daily. You can see it in MJ fans eyes whenever they profess their love for him, that they would suck him dry if he ask them too.
LMAO! You're only saying that out of spite. We have receipts. @@caliba100
Man I’m an MJ guy but don’t take nothing away from Bron…He has always been worth the hype…He’s just not the GOAT but you gotta respect him…
KG tells the best #Mike stories!
Big Truth Michael Jordan Did Take The Game Universal To Where Now Players Making Big Money But Not Playing The Game How It Should Be!
MJ the real and true GOAT of all basketball 🔥🔥🐐🐐🐐
Jordan played Boston 6 times for the Wizards. They won 4 of them including a 45 point smashing where Jordan at 39 scored 21 in 21 minutes. In his final season they won 3 of the 4 matchups.
Mike can deliver whenever and where ever he wants
KG funny as hey! 😂
Mike is the blue print of basketball he had his own door in nba basketball
M saying HO after every sentence is 😂😂
23 forever the Goat!!!!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Mj paved the way for modern nba players to get paid before they even touch the basketball. We still talk about MJ Like He retired yesterday. Thats GOAT Status 🐐
KG articulates. Dope
“Damn! Burnt!” 😂😂😂
KG out here looking like Ricky Smiley junior
MJ is the most complete basketball player I've ever seen. Most guys who're that gifted never maximize their potential (see Vince Carter), but MJ was all attack on both ends AND loose ball hustle & defensive help. People say he didn't pass, but when forced to play pg, the man was dropping triple doubles like they were rocks at a crackhead rally.😂
It was crazy watching him from McDonald's and Team USA, thru UNC, and his first 3-4yrs in Chicago because he erased a weakness each off-season, then proceeded to completely dominated the game for a decade. It's like he worked om his game while waiting on Pippen to getstrong enough, then they went ham.
Love u 2. Mj will always be the goat to our generation
The 🐐
Man imagine being able to play pickup ball with MJ and all those guys.
MJ is an alien from a totally different league.
KG speaking truth
Look at the way these legends talk about Mike....he the greatest
2 Icons giving another Icon his acknowledgement 👍🏾👍🏾
"Icon" tho? Mike for sure... but nah
😂😂😂@@HD00957
Thank you, KG and P Pierce both are Real Legends and all the respect for you guys! Thank you for giving MJ all the respect and recognition He deserves! There's no way to describe or even explain Global Michael Jordan's Impact on this Beautiful Sport! 😊👍
Im a lakers fan i hated these two back in the day but this shit is classic KG is hilarious!
Bleeping out cus words is crazy man ... be free dawg
That makes it better?…
@@primeminister66We’re all grown adults not kids, we can’t curse no more?
And they say the Wizards Jordan wasn't like that. At 40 giving 20+ yr Olds 30+ is insane
I miss when the NBA was REAL!
MJ23 🐈⬛ + 🐂 = 🐐, RIP Kobe 🐍
Goat 🐐
Mike made the league a trillion and Nike a trillion and that is exactly why Mike (MJ) will always be the GOAT. It doesn’t matter what kind of numbers Lebum or even Steph put up. Doesn’t matter how many times Durant doesn’t comb them peas on his head. Bill Russell, Robert Horry, Steve Kerr, Scottie Pippen they have more rings than Jordan except Pippen who has the same amount. The bottom line is the MONEYJordan generated for the league and future players after him. Lebum will NEVER generate that kind of money for the league. The fans can harp on Leflop being the GOAT all they want. The NBA is the one that has proclaimed Jordan the best of the best. Because of Jordan players could expand into other business ventures. The Lakers enabled Magic to become his own boss. Better retirements, healthcare plans for outgoing players and contracts for incoming players. Billion dollar deals with Nike, UA, Reebok.
Playing every night is their jobs. Doing promos part of the job. Jordan put the league on the global map and the money generated from jerseys and video games alone. Lechoke need to take a couple seats and shut up.
That's what I like about Jordan, he knew he was being paid to show up to work and perform. Having that dedication pushed the league forward by decades.
You need help dude. You have a weird obsession with Lebron all because your overly fanned out over another man. Some real loser type stuff. 😂
Hearing goats talk about the goat is sick
Nice work. I wish I could get more stories about MJ like this one!
Love KG's shoes, that he is rocking for this episode.
Jordan cement 3s
KG keeping it real!!
Magic,Bird, Zeke, Jordan all ballers.
It took a lot of years before I accepted that kobe bryant was the face of the NBA. Because before him for me AI was the franchise player and the face of the NBA when MJ left the league. In the late 90's.
The thing i like most about mj is the killer instincts, these player today too sweet. Sport is about competition these days they only play because they are getting paid to.
KG thanks for keeping it real
Awesome 🎉😮
35 feel like 40 when you getting cooked
AI was the player I started rooting for after MJ left
Facts!
Great Content Guys! Stay on Top Bosses!😃
UNCLE Jordan!!!
I'll always wonder what Jordan would've played like with the Wizards had Artest not broken his ribs while defending Jordan in the post during one of those scrimmages in Chicago. Totally sabotaged his training
imagine if MJ didnt have those knee injury and not drain fluid from it
@@Atty-Puncher I think the 2 things are related: if I remember correctly, MJ broke his ribs, had to stop training, then rushed his training once he was cleared to try to make up for lost time, and the over-training is what started the knee issues and over time led to the knee injury.
@@timstark4731What also affected MJ was taking those 3 full years off and coming back closer to 40. We saw how his game changed after coming back from his 1st retirement and that was almost 2 years in his mid-30's. It took him some time to get into a rhythm with the Wizards and then once he did, he injured his knee. He was even a MVP candidate at the All Star break but that ended.
MJ dominated but also did it with the swag, nobody else has done that. Even in todays game you need too many of these great players put together to equal Mike. GOAT!
The last line is deep...
Air Force Ones (Uptowns) Salute ❤🖤💚🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Classic (Vintage wear)(#21,#5,#34)
AI was definitely the face of the league after Mike
Haha no it was Kobe, and after that Lebron
@@yavivanov6650Definitely was Iverson for a hot minute … then Kobe.
MJ gave Paul Pierce 32 and he gave him 14 pts 😅
Mike blow him out by 40
KG saying "Mike came back like cooked coke" took me out😂😂
Goat Talk
As a Bulls fan, after MJ, AI was my guy. One of the toughest player to ever play the game.
KG love when people talking dat shit
P always lounging 😂. Be straight laid back. Get my man something for his legs 😂
🐐MJ could of won four more titles and had 10 rings easily if he didn't retire in 98 from the bulls when he was at his Apex! I do believe after Kobe emergents he would of called it quits! Sickening the owners broke up that dynasty💯
Before the injury it was only Mike, Mac, and Kobe averaging 25 5 and 5. Then he got hurt 22.9
True but only MJ and Kobe were perennial 1st team defensive selections ...it's level to it
Michael Jordan was class. Iverson was the hood. Now, all we have …as a culture is predominantly hood. The way GROWN men dress…is like their kids. The way GROWN men comport themselves is like their kids. Go watch a Marvin Gaye interview…then go watch a Lil Baby interview. This is where we have fallen because we thought the hip-hop aesthetic was the way to go.
Universal he said!! Did y'all hear da??? 👂
“Burnt” 😂😂😂
Kg needs to be the guy who makes extra sounds on cartoons
You know what I'm sayin? deyymmm!!😂
This is why I say the 2000s is the best era. We didnt have 1 face of the league so everyone got a turn to really shine in that decade. Shaq Duncan Iverson Kobe KG and then LeBron took the flag at the end of the decade and has held it since.
MJ was a savage 😂😂😂
👍👌
His last year he was on the road to ave 30 before his last injury
Yep he was and he was turning them into a playoff team
Need that wizards last dance doc
Nice podcast ..I hope you can debate on what nick wright said about MJ and lebron❤
I wish he never retired all those times dude would have definitely broken the scoring record
Where can I find this whole conversation?
Most favored player ever! It was hard to watch .
Also the best of them all. Surely it was easy to watch. Still highest rated finals ever.
See that's what I'm talking bout The man retired and took 4 yrs off and still came back averaging 23 with bum knees. If that ain't the goat what is!!!!
