Michael Jordan On NBA Players’ Activism: ‘I Support That’ | TODAY
0:32 Reporter: "the Michael Jordan Family Medical Clinic. What do you think?"
Jordan: "I'm very proud of it"
Jordan inside: "I would destroy you 1 on 1"
~LOLOLOL
Everyone should be blessed it’s rare to get a Jordan interview
He hides his political views....... Democrat
@@derekmetcalf7657U.S.A just stop talking
@@anthonyp2883 hahahahHhHHHa not¡¡ y don't you !
@@derekmetcalf7657U.S.A he's conservative, smart man.
Mike was honest when asked about his political involvement while he was playing . He was dedicated to the game.
@johnard
hes not playing now and declined comment. i guess he put that nba and since 85 Nike money over humanity
Shutting up and dribbling really does benefit them more
LOL MJ was so dedicated that he became a gambling addict, womanizing, partying and playin basball.. theyre scared to lose money thats why they avoid it.. or youre too dumb to realize that??
What was wrong with him being honest about focusing on his game and career while playing? He was young and he set himself, his legacy, and his name up for what he's able to do now. Btw without mj the current nba is nowhere near as popular or profitable. He built 2 freeking clinics for low income minority areas. A real need for us, considering the high mortality rate of black mothers during labor.
Trust me, if he spoke, we would not know jordan as the player he is. Timing is everything sometimes!
Still rocking that 90's earring. Respect to the game!
Holy! I would not even notice this. It is part of MJ.
This man looks like he's only 10 years older than he was in '96.
It's called tv make-up bro
thats what being rich does he has a low stress life. he earned it tho not hating.
@@PunkyBoyGWiz It's because he is black. Black don't crack unless you smoke it 😂
@Drodz he still got more money than you. Loved by more people than you. Has gotten way more ladies than you. Traveled more than you. Owns more than you and has his hands in lots of different cookie jars. If I had to choose, to be the smartest or an IQ of 10 and accomplished as much as he has. I'll take his shoes thank you very much. What have you accomplished in your life?
The Top 5 NBA Players of the '80s! 🏀
1. Michael Jordan
2. Ervin 'Magic' Johnson
3. Larry Bird
4. ?
5. ?
“i support that”
-michael jordan
Yeah he didn’t “speak out” because everything isn’t about wokism. He more likely than not was not informed, intellectually capable or even interested in getting into the political sphere because you have to know what you’re talking about (solutions or rationalizing a stance) unlike most athletes and entertainers. Athletes and entertainers are not so called leaders or revolutionaries, most of them are bought and paid for anyways I.e lebron, keap, etc.
Bill of Rights KAG
Josh Gen Great comment💯 I was just about type what u said. Well done. Well put
What MJ actually said was "I think it's great, if they understand the causes...I support that."
Lebron James does not understand the cause he recently voiced his opinion on.
Therefore, Lebron does not fall into the category of that which Jordan supports.
@@joshgen8533 we respectfully and utterly disagree. With that mindset you would've hated Ali today if he were still alive for not going to Vietnam. Very closed mindset you and million others like you have.
MJ coming in the clutch with GOAT answers!! The greatest there ever was, the greatest there ever will be
xx not top 5
@@Noname-fr8rz Your username suits you lol
Gabriel
Why is he better than
Lebron
Kareem
Magic
Bird
Russell
Kobe
He is so overrated he played good players in the 80s and then they got old and he won all his rings in the 90s against teams no where near as good as the teams lebron was playing yearly
Gabriel I still now more more than u lol
Josh Tice nah I’m good cause I have comebacks other than ur a kid
This is what a Goat sounds like.
Greatest thief all time. 👎
@@jacobcollins9389 how you mean?
@@jacobcollins9389 thats GTOAT, hereby youre wrong
90% of everything Jordan Brand use is stolen property. The guy is a thief. 👎
Jacob Collins dummy that’s GTAT
Bout time they put some light on MJ doing things for the people. He’s been doing it longer than they would like us to know.
Right you are
I agree. If some of these atheltes would focus on their craft more than social media they would be better.They've never been taught to stay under the radar.
michael UNITY I think that there is a obvious difference in performance and athletes reaching their full potential as a result of lack of dedication. I’m sure Jordan wasn’t one foot in the NBA and the other in the VIP popping bottles. I respect what MJ said concerning being able to divide his attention up in social issues. Those are expensive shoes serve a purpose. And obviously it isn’t just for good looks!
Positive Inner G
lol.. huh, mike was a hard gambler while playing
@@michaelunity7796 different times. They need to make a stand now, it is a crime of you stay quiet. They cant win plain and simple. I would just do what I feel like and take the check cause you all people out here are hypocrites
The subtext is that MJ is implying you need to be more thoughtful about social issues. Some of these players today just speak their minds without thinking just so they can say something.
Exactly, listening and getting informed before you speak is rare these days
A P exactly!!!
Facts
No, Jordan (seemed) to value money more than morals. He couldn't careless about all those Black boys around the nation being murdered over his overpriced shoes.
Hope he truly has a change of heart. God bless the Brotha for giving back to a people who helped make him rich.
@@tonyroan75 How'd you know that? because he was not vocal about it?
Such a well-spoken and intelligent person. The true GOAT on and off the court.
A lot of people wouldn't agree with you sadly enough... 👎👎👎
@@jacobcollins9389 well see, still youre the only one ahahhaha
Wrong dickhead, a lot people who knew Michael a bit back in the days say he's an arsehole... He is indeed.
@@jacobcollins9389 wrong vagina head, it motivates his team to do more dnt be a sissy aahahaha, he will punch you, intimidate you just to make you good,, ask kerr and grant ahahhaha
He is not a good owner in terms of building a championship team
Good to see MJ speak out and give back to his community. Hope the athletes continue to use their platforms to better the world. Haters will try to silence you but stay resilient and fight for those who need it most.
God Bless Sir Michael Jordan. Legend!
Yes! MJ the Real GOAT and True Basketball Icon legendary player! still doing his good things!
Miles Robinson Lebron
Chris J You mean L3-6 soon to be 3-7 aka the fake 23
Alpha Mentality yeah I do mean the 3-6 guy. The one who took a team in 07 that shouldn’t have gone into the finals and lost to the spurs dynasty. In 2015 lost to the warriors when his two main players were injured and was by himself yet again. The one in 2017 lost to another Dynasty the Warriors and in 2018 again but this time no Kyrie so 4 vs 1. Yes that one guy who is true he lost in 2011 and no excuse there, but the rest? Is time you grow up and respect the player for what he is. You can have Jordan as your favorite and that’s fine but the Lebron is up there as well. Because if we talking about rings then Jordan wouldn’t be the goat.
@@ChristianJ18 If you're talking about rings MJ would still be the GOAT because Russell and his teammates played on a squad where every player was an all-star as well as their bench, and there were only a few teams in the league. That would be like Jordan's Bulls playing the Grizzlies every game, and if that were the case Jordan would have multiple 82-0 seasons and would have won a ring every year. 🤷♂️
Steve Griffey jordan is great but they make him overrated. So yes I am talking about him.
No media wants to show this side of the goat. He is the Best ever!!!
He doesn't want the media to see it because he isn't thirsty for attention
He’s not a self-absorbed person like LeBron James, who seeks attention by anyway shape or form.
Lol man y’all could of left Bron out of this
@@yourfriendlyneighbourhoodvue
Exactly, JORDAN has humility like DIRK, Bird,MAGIC, DUNCAN...MAGIC wont call himself the #1 LAKER but he is...won the ring his rookie yr without KAREEM...Jordan won't call himself GOAT but he is the GOAT
travis travis lebron is better
I remember as a kid after his games make me wanna go outside and hoop everytime
I never look back and change things for whatever reason 💪🏽
Exactly I learned from all of my mistakes
Best line from this entire interview. And he said it without hesitation.
Only a fool doesn't look into the past and examine himself
He never said he didn't do that. He's probably reviewed countless hours of tape on order to perfect his game. What he means is, the past is in the past. It's done. No sense fretting over what you could have, should have done. Move forward and make your future what you want it to be.
@@TheNotSoOrdinaryCarGuy he never had a problem gambling and whoring around when he was playing ball though, he's a great ball player. That all!
I feel so privileged to grow up watching him play.
"it is what it is"
Michael Jordan - 2019
Still looks like the GOAT by miles. No one is ever coming close to this man.
4 real 4 real the bull wat and is still special
Nah lebron took that years ago
@@brookshoftv sorry to tell you small fry but GOATS dont choke like lebron did in 2011.
BrooksHOF TV GOATS dont airball free throws either😂
BrooksHOF TV you cant be the goat at 34 and cant carry your team to the playoffs smh
Can someone translate what he's saying? I don't speak in goat 🐐.
🤣
@@hurleygonzalez LeBron and everyone else who thinks they are goat wishes they were even just a little bit legendary as MJ
Sad that this is only 3 minutes and not 20 minutes.
He said I do what I want to do in my own good time and I don't have to follow in the footsteps of anyone else
@@hurleygonzalez i'll bet on jj barea and jason terry
Even Jordan is saying “yeahh im not taking about that I need to sell some shoes”
he knows politics is using celebrities and athletes as pawns for their self serving political agenda, he's not buying that
He didnt pretend to have fake morality like some others
@Elton Francis Jordan and LBJ have a different situation. After Daryl remarks, everybody demanded LBJ to comment something. I'm sure that LBJ wanted to keep it silent. But he was in a dilemma. If he kept silent,he was a coward. So he voiced his opinion which I think is very neutral. His comments didn't say anything good nor bad about China. He just simply implied that because of Daryl's tweets, it brought trouble to some NBA players who have to deal with China.
On the other hand, people didn't demand Jordan to say anything about China. And learning from LBJ s situation, Jordan prefer not to say anything.
So no matter what LBJ have chosen, silent or free speech, or both, would get him in trouble anyway. He is in the hot seat.
@iburiedpaul
forealtho!!
Jordan knows where his bread🍞 is buttered 😂
He’s not coming off as a hypocrite, what you see is what you get. Unlike Lebron James
I'm glad that he is speaking about these issues and allowing people to see that he really does care about the community.
Michael the world needs your natural charisma!! You've always had it
conceited_meme.jpeg
Its not even close ! MJ the GOAT
dang, mikes second interview this week... thats mor than all interviews in the last decade. Thanks, Michael. Keep it up. The world has a lot of respect for you and your word
+Marc 0 He had another recent one? Who was it with?
"Once I hit this hen' Skip, my eyes about to be red like Michael Jordan's" Shannon Sharpe
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I could hear this quote
You deserve a standing ovation for this comment lmao
Bro 😂😂😂 wtf
Savage Davis bro I just died lol!
I’m sure he’s done so much that the media hasn’t talked about. This is awesome 🔥🔥
Ace_ Keeper he doesn’t publicize it like the other 23 always does. He doesnt put himself in the same breath as Ali like... the other 23/6 does. (This is sure backfiring in Bron’s face)
Funded the filing of Malcom X. Has provided plenty of aid elsewhere.
StarScream4434 theres nothing wrong with publicizing it or not though, Michael doesn’t publicize because he himself knows what he does and the only approval he needs is from himself, bron publicizes it for others to follow in his lead and there’s honor in both, as long as they’re helping which both of them are idc if it’s public or not
I was thinking the exact same thing, just awesome.
StarScream4434 Read what Kendrick just said
@@capitanawesome44 yeah like building prisons lol
MJ the goat of no comment🧐🤷🏽♂️

More Rings than lerbon
John Wick Why are you bringing up Lebron?

The only man...who's not a pirate
How is he only allowed??
John Wick because it has been made illegal since 2008 by obama only the people who had it before can keep it and he was the only one in america to have it before anyone in existence

Jordan was forced to do this interview. He never spoke on politics in his life.
he just told why, he was focused on bball
Rock Bone of course not because that's what they make his shoes that would be stupid

You did it your way for your community, you are the greatest in basketball definitely the boss. Congratulation
Nobody else like Gloria's comment it's on the right number

I never was North Carolina fan, never liked the Chicago Bulls, however, every since Michael Jordan was a Rookie, I called him the best ever. Yes, the greatest ever.
'water is not dry'
- Michael Jordan
That is really funny, I could see him saying that
I have never doubted your contributions , passion, knowing the community in which you were borned and raised. The true character of a man isn't measured only by words, but his actions. The Mass Media has always seeking out a narrative to paint a certain image of the Black man in society. I will never get enough of replaying your basketball videos and having the opportunity to watch you play against the Warriors . I love the game of basketball and the knowledge that it brings in gaining life skills. I enjoy watching you,Kobe, and Kevin Durant. The artistry of you guys basketball form and mental strength of improving your craft Also the accomplishment you have made off the court. The medical clinic is very much needed and having families obtain healthcare is vital. My daughter has Lupus and has prevented her from following her passion and love of basketball. Her medical condition became a barrier of playing college basketball. Thank you , Mr. Michal Jordan.
And everyone judged him for not giving back
When The Goat speaks I listened
Too bad lebron won't.
LeBron is the goat.
@@mohameddiallo400 lebron is goat cheese and a sellout
As a man we gotta respect him he saw his faults and changing lives
I wanna see Jordan with a beard just one time
He always grew one during the Olympics for some reason.
Goatee, you mean? Lebron deserves that hairstyle I'm afraid 🤣🤣🤣
A hero of my childhood and youth.
It almost seemed like magic back then when i saw him in a game or anything like that.
That Aura and Charisma is and was unique and uncomparable to this day. Period.
Medical clinics .Thats big . Team Jordan
Simply the best example of a present father in his life God bless.
I think it's good that Mike spoke out because his word stands out and travels far, cudos my brother
Jordan was my hero when I was a child. Re-watching his highlights just gives me chills and tears and reminds me of my childhood.
LeBron: "I built a school"
MJ: "aye hold my cigar"
But it is good to see black successful men💪✊💯💯
@JL-CptAtom I'm sure if Michael wanted something built like Schools Jordan would have all the sponsors lined up.. Stop hating you're black too.

Too much drama involved. However, he's still a sell out.

Des Mathis You are just as toxic as “Lebum” fans are.
The interviewer asked some great questions, whom Michael gave the perfect responses to.
Hes a diplomat without even trying to be. There will never be another like him , hes intelligent, articulate, a fkin wolf, and an embassodor for the game.
When the greatest of all time speaks, I listen.
Well you like everyone else should listen to God=Lord Jesus Christ, the Greatest of all time.
thespaceram2 he ain’t talking
@@MasterKeyMagic Oh yes, God=Lord Jesus Christ does speak. He seems quite patient when He speaks. His voice is clear and as loud as lightning. It is heard everywhere at once even when He talks at a normal tone. And when He says a word the whole sky lights up. He doesn't sound old. He sounds like He is in His thirties. Keep in mind that He doesn't age. He is immortal. Also keep in mind that God=Lord Jesus Christ revealed to Moses and His other prophets what to write in His Bible book in the ancient times as proof. God=Lord Jesus Christ also fulfilled all the prophesies in the Old Testament part of the Bible. Including the Messianic prophesy. God=Lord Jesus Christ's testimony as the Messiah Himself mentioned in the New Testament part of the Bible along with His revelation. Which is the last two remaining prophesies that will happen at some point in the future. His return and that day He will judge all of the living and all of the dead. Those that willingly accept God=Lord Jesus Christ and His salvation proposal and repent from their wrong doings , He will pardon and give those eternal life. While those that are unrepentant and disbelievers will be judged by Him and then thrown down by His angels into the lake of fire and brimstone. Where there is weeping and the gashing of teeth. The final prophesy is satan and his demons' fate of being thrown into the lake of fire for their evil rebellion towards God=Lord Jesus Christ and for misleading so many souls into the lake of fire with them.
thespaceram2 hey bigot, take your interpretation and shove it. If i ever see jesus, he’s got a lot of explaining to do before I’ll ever kneel.
TLDR : he has accumulated enough money now that he doesn’t care anymore

The Greatest of all Time Michael Jordan the 6 time NBA Champ
Steve Sibaja bill russell the better player 11 time champ
Nba Kid in a league with like 8 teams
Kieran H that can also make the league harder cause if u only have 120 players instead of 450 then getting on a team is more exclusive
Nba Kid Yo what's L3-6 excuse he done played/plays with constant allstars and still loses. Dude about to become 3-7 and more excuses from the new and still losing 3-7 mafia crew coming to a hood near you
Alpha Mentality he faces at least 3 hof on one team every year
That's why he was the greatest. He was just about the basketball during his playing days.
I love MJ
I guess Michael Jordan should run for president. President Michael Jordan The Goat.
He make millions but gave back. Props. The wallet speaks louder than words. 👌
Correction: Jordan is a billionaire! Just saying!
better late than never. glad to see him involved last few for sure. i know he also gave a MIL$$$ to storm victims. Best player ever, doesnt mean he's perfect everywhere else. Glad I got to see him play.

This made me really think about michael as a person not just a basketball player. Legend.
Chinese President on Hong Kong division: “We will crush their bodies and grind their bones to dust.”
LeBron, Jordan and Harden: “We still get paid though, right? We good.”
Thank u for reminding people how it was like in china 30 years ago. However, china is more opened to any other countries in the world. Hongkong wants 'freedom', then let it be free and become the next ukraine.
Darren Deng Hong Kong isn’t asking for freedom. It had 5 demands. None of which demanded freedom from China. Right now over 1 million Uighur Muslims are in concentration camps. They along with the Falun Gong are having their organs harvested. Christian persecution is standard also. Church leaders are imprisoned. China is just as bad as it was 30 years ago, if not worse. As long as its citizens choose to look the other way and remain ignorant and brainwashed by state media, things will remain the same. Either you work for the CCP or you haves been misinformed by state media.
@@charlesp7504 i think you are brainwashed by the western media. You visited china recently?you visited china 30 years ago? U only watched news processed by the biased media. I am a canadian citizen who visited china every single year since my birth. And seeing most of the citizens are getting better. 1 million is what percentage in china? Different countries have different rules and laws. What do i have to do the same in my place as you do at your house? please don't apply your standard to the others. Every region and country has its own history and culture, and let them do whatever is good for most people. And some of prostesters (they are getting paid by some sepratists)are doing no good and only want to crash the government, what is next after the government is crashed?
Darren Deng of course I don’t go to China every year. I don’t need to. I’ve kept up with it with through independent journalists there on the ground in Hong Kong interviewing the crowds. I’ve seen the testimonials from Chinese Christian refugees here in America. Testimonials from the Uighur’s can also be found on CZcams. How would lying benefit them? It would only cause action against them from the state. There are a number of Human Rights groups from around the world speaking out on the Muslim Concentration camps and the religious persecution. You may not care about human rights abuses as long as your country grows more powerful. I’m sure the Germans felt the same way as Hitler grew in power. Your kind of blind willful ignorance is how such atrocities are allowed to happen. I’ve seen plenty of interviews from Chinese citizens. It is clear they are misinformed about their own country and what is going on in Hong Kong. And no, it is not ok for countries to do what they want with human beings as long as they rule over them and do it in the name of country. Don’t be foolish or cowardly. Educate yourself so you may educate others. Take pride in your country. Want your country to be great. China will never be great though as long as it oppresses it’s own people for economic and communist control. You can say whatever you want in defense of such practices but you will only weaken yourself and your country if you don’t acknowledge the truth and demand better of yourself and of your country. Such countries that suppress freedom always fail. The human spirit always breaks free. It’s inevitable. Always has been throughout history. If you choose not to correct the errors in ideology and implementation of your communist will, then you are only advocating for your country’s failure.
@@charlesp7504 so the journalists are biased and only picked the people in the crowd for interviews?why dont they ask random people on the street? I think the political issues should just leave for the political people. It is like a dentist shouldn't be in a heart surgery for the patient, the right person would do a better job on what he is specilized. I am not a polotician, I can live without politics. However, my world will be collapsed if my community is fallen apart like what it is like in hk. You think it is right to hurt others (especially the police) while you fight for the 5 demands? I am not a highly educated person, but i know stablized world will bring you wealth eventually. Lets mark this and come back to see who is right in 30 years. Or you can try to watch what the singapore prime minister says recently towards this incident, he is definitely viewing this at neutral perspective.
I respect his answer at 1:17. It explains LeBron James position also regarding speaking out, if you notice LeBron did not become vocal until after he won the first two championships.
Yes, let the ball bounces lead the Revolution.
