      Jordan and Chapman went head to head in 23 games during their career. Here’s what they averaged against each other:
      Jordan: 32.8 PPG / 6.0 RPG / 6.0 APG / 2.5 SPG / 0.9 BPG = 48.2 avg stat points
      Chapman: 14.3 PPG / 2.4 RPG / 2.3 APG / 0.9 SPG / 0.1 BPG = 20.0 avg stat points
      It’s not even close, to say the least. Also, Jordan lit him up for 57 points in a game.
      And for those of you who actually think Chapman was talking trash to Jordan, you’re completely mistaken. Chapman was interviewed about the supposed trash talking and he said it wasn’t true. Here’s the clip where he admits he never talked trash to Jordan: czcams.com/video/UhR5zQdAL74/video.html

    I am ashamed to say that as a child of the 90s, I had never heard of this guy. That being said, Rex Chapman went where few men had ever gone before - he humbled MJ, scoring on him multiple times and rendered his perimeter defense ineffective. He made him look mortal! That feat alone commands respect!

    • @simkke
      @simkke Před 2 lety +35

      The more I think of it, it was because Jordan was a friend of his. When someone gives you a knife (in the back), you are not terrified, but rather dissapointed. When you have emotions with someone, and reliance on someone, it's comes off as a shock. Jordan does not look scared. This was just one night. He also looks tired. Who has it more tough? The guy who is setting records and maintaining the reputation of the most formidable, the best ever, to do it, night after night, for years, defeating foe after foe, and confirming his place, or the guy who turns his back on his friend and happens to catch the king when he is vulnerable. I see many comments saying : "Mad respect for outplaying the GOAT!". It's like one of those neighborhood stories, when some great players come to a hood court and somehow, some underdog local team wins a match against them! I did a few of those back in the day. You instantly become neighborhood superheroes. But only in our own neighborhood and in our own minds. What Jordan did, however, is testified by history.

      @@juanrivera1624 I didn't mean to sound too one-dimensional, about this game you still can't say : irrelevant, and shrug it off. If You've ever been an underdog, you have to cheer for Rex, at least at this, and for this one game. You've been waiting for the king to slip off. That one guy, or opportunity, or night, where someone who is almost undestructible seems vulnerable, off, or whatever, and an underdog comes on top, still shows you that it is not the size of the dog, but the fight in him. It could be inspiring for all underdogs everywhere, and celebrated. You can't NOT cheer on it, at least partly :)
      Many other underdogs made it to the NBA and made a name themselves after A LOT of hard work, and enduring, and adapting. Talent can mean something, and Jordan sure had a lot of it, but the fact WAS, and still is, he worked more than anyone else. Like Kobe, like so many others. Relentless with their work ethic. I see more and more workers surviving all the age groups and getting to the nba. There will be no more cult personalities in the nba. I think Lebron is really the last one. No more one-man team idol perceptions. It seems like organizations are becoming more increasingly important than stars in this age, good relationships, And players who are more stable mentally and take care of their bodies, are more likely to succeed. These are different times.

      @LynxStarAuto Před 2 lety +148

      Naw not really. He was pretty disciplined, and actually played defense. Jimmy just hyping the video. The reason he left Miami was simply because there wasn't enough money to pay him what he wanted. The following season Miami would sign Dan Majerle, Juwan Howard (who was a legit star at the time), and PJ Brown. Juwan was initially signed to a 100m contract. Then the NBA pulled a Chris Paul on us, and axed the trade on some salary cap technicalities. Yeah this was the CP3 thing before the CP3 thing.
      Anyway, Rex had earned his bag, and Miami just couldn't afford to pay him more. So he walked in FA. It worked out though, because Miami drafted a scrappy guard by the name of Voshon Leonard who would blossom into a 2 way player and become very serviceable for us. Pat would also bring in Jamal Mashburn which was nice, but didn't stop us from wondering what if???
      Imagine a trio of Howard, Hardaway, and Mourning. 😰🤷‍♂️

    One key aspect you missed in the video is that Miami only had 8 guys dressed for that game, We (yes i said we) made a trade for Hardaway and were short handed. Local reports were the bulls were already plannin a victory celebration for after the game on the beach. Supposedly this got back to the heat and the rest is history! Rex went ape, im glad i got to witness it for myself!

    As a kid collecting NBA cards, I collected some…unorthodox players; Moses Malone, Joe Dumars….and Rex Chapman. I was always intrigued by his style of play but by the time he played this game I was firmly in the Shaq camp. It brought me joy just now watching this breakdown of this unshakable players moment of greatness. Well done that man

    Shout out to anyone suffering from addiction. Rex Chapman’s recovery story is inspiring and incredible. He’s helped a number of people I know by sharing his experience. Big ups to Rex for the work he does now ❤️

    I had the pleasure of seeing Rex Chapman as a Suns in the late 90s. I tell you it was fun small ball 3-point team with Kevin Johnson, Jason Kidd, Dennis Scott, Welsey Person, and Steve Nash.

    In 1998 I went to Gary Paytons all star charity game in Seattle.... great game, good fun... at half time they put a blind fold on Rex put him at half court and spun him 10 times. A lucky fan was to give him 3 instructions to get Rex close then score... the fan said" your Rex just shoot the ball"... nothing but net... the crowd and players all lost their mind...

    I just love how the stadium announcer shouts "REX CHAPMAN" all the time with the same voice after he scores
