MJ is the 🐐 and so is @jonnyarnett for sharing with us basketball junkies some of his basketball wisdom, Sub to his awesome channel here - www.youtube.com/@jonnyarnett
And check out his latest video on the GOAT debate - czcams.com/video/-sDMlPyJEgA/video.html
I agree with some of that but I'll take Bird himself saying Jordan was on another level because I believe he is an honest man.
I was a bird fan til he's back went out. Shortened his career badly. Then it was all Jordan. Kobe tried his hardest, penny, tmac, drexler, Carter, Mello, Lebron, Steph, KD, the just fell short. Nothing to be ashamed about fighting for second is honorable.
6 Rings, 10 scoring title in hardest era with Bulls! If he wasnt retired it could be more! MJ GOAT!
MJ was in class by himself. The greatest basketball player ever in my opinion. One thing I have to disagree on . Jordan didn't have Deion Sanders type speed. Prime Time ran a low 4.2 in the 40 . Deion was so fast he ran down Bo Jackson when FSU played Auburn. Let's just say Deion wasn't successful at tackling Bo (lol). Michael Jordan is the greatest.
@@Tad-ih9flPenny Hardaway career was very tragic. He fun to watch. Jordan the goat , but Penny was my favorite player to watch.
The most impressive fact to me is that some people even think this topic is remotely debatable on any level. Awesome video, man :)
I agree with you. It's not even close
Exactly
It's not debatable at all to me, there are at least 5 players I'd take over him in the draft. Bird dominated Jordan, It was a joke when Jordan tried to guard Bird, I was there to see almost every game till the end of 87. Do you know how many times the chant came up over rated? Magic was the best guard of all by far. Magic could play all 3 spots, nobody else could do that.
@@user-nj2vv2xm4jMan stfu. This is basketball only. Even when Bird and the Celtics beat the Bulls in 86, nobody in the Celtics could guard him. Celtics better be lucky that Jordan had average players around him while Boston had a starting 5 Hall of Famers. Don’t get started with Magic now, Jordan gave him the work in the finals and when The Dream Team had an exhibition game, Magic talk shit to Jordan and his team, Jordan turn into a complete different player! MJ did a god damn 360 tongue out and dunked it! Out floating everybody! He destroyed half of the Dream Team! After all that, Larry and Magic didn’t want no smoke with Jordan.
Soft players in a soft era, and some have the gall to claim any moder player to be even in the discussion?
Missing only 7 games in 12 seasons with the bulls during a physical era is astonishing. Especially compared to today's divas that want to load management and play no more than 60.
That number is in accurate go back and see where he broke his foot.
@@user-nj2vv2xm4j it's excluding that season. Michael played a total of 13 years with Chicago and 2 were cut short. His broken foot season in 85 and the return from his first retirement where he played 17 games in 94-95. The point is he did not take games off, fake injuries and load manage. Period
@@ijamorris3449 which shows he didnt even watch the video. He just went right to trolling.
@@mikerobinson6969 exactly....smh 🤦🏾♂️
@@user-nj2vv2xm4j Reading is fundamental. He said in 12 seasons. Try to keep up.
I was a witness to this man's greatness. Nobody comes close to what he did on the basketball court. NOBODY.
My sister did the choreography for the Luvabulls. She started two weeks before MJ was drafted, and quit a few weeks before he retired. I got to see him live about 300 times in ten years.
TV does not do him justice.
@@TeranRealtordamn, that makes me really wish i saw him play in person. i was really young in his latter years on the court and only really have memory of him from 95-98. I’ve gone back to watch every classic game of him i can find on youtube and always wanted to be born sooner to witness his whole career. Ball now is not the same, thanks for sharing
Sounds good but half the planet says LBJ surpassed him….
sooooo…. yeeeeeaaaaaaaa😶
🤦♂️😩💀
@@theunpopulartruth7668Yes, and half the planet is in fantasy land.
@@theunpopulartruth7668 🧢 don’t be lying bronsexual…
a poll was done this year in march, 58.3% of the players voted for Jordan as the Greatest of All-Time . While LeBron James was right behind him with 33%
that’s NBA players only, prove what you just said or stop talking shit
Besides all his accolades my favorite part about Jordan was his willingness to play as many games as possible, knowing fans came out to see him play. Players dont have that mentality anymore and its sad because if it wasnt for the fans there wouldn't be a league.
Love that attitude as well. Not sure there's a player in the league that has that mind set any more...
The fact that while Michael Jordan didn't play a single second for the Miami Heat, the franchise still retired his No. 23 jersey in April of 2003 as a sign of respect to him and his achievements. MJ was the first player ever to have his jersey retired with a team he never played for.
... which is also why LeBron couldn't wear number 23 while playing for Miami.
😮😮😮 I never knew that fact
More teams should do this. If the entire NHL can retire 99…
Cool fact. I never knew that
MJ's the GOAT but that has something to do about his friendship with Pat Riley...
Also, they retired Dan Marino's numbers too so it might also be a move just so they have retired numbers on their rafters...
Baseball retired 42
The most impressive thing about MJ is that no matter how deliberate Lebron's fans are at taking him down, not once you heard him say anything. That tells you how secure he is with his place in the basketball world.
There’s nothing Impressive about this Career that everyone’s Overhyping about for Michael Jordan. LeGoat James is 82-0 for his entire 20 year career. He’s still 100% flawlessly undefeated. MJ’s Bulls were so easy to beat in the 90s. An average middle School basketball team could easily dethrone that measly 72-10 Bulls in 96.
Soft players, soft era, soft fans.
@@rocketleaguehighlightsreel1236 And still Jordan got wrecked by Boston and Bird. The 86 Boston team lost only one game at home that year, that's right one game. 80's BB rules by far.
It's interesting how people talk about Jordan losing in the 80's against Bird. Jordan played without help until Pippins came in the late 80s. Meanwhile, Bird was playing with 4 future Hall of Famers: Kevin McHale, Robert Parish, Dennis Johnson, and Bill Walton. So miss me with this crap about Jordan being wrecked by Boston and Bird. Especially since Jordan dropped his 63 point masterpiece on Boston in 86. The Bulls lost, but Jordan was a Beast
integrity, something Lebron nor his cultists are familiar with.
I think one of the most impressive facts is that he played several games sick, injured, in pain, and he still played those games better than most other stars on their best day...heart is something he never lacked of...
And 82 game a season without "Load management" 😂. LBJ
and they have the nerve to call the 90s soft.
When LeBron does that, people just make videos accusing him of making excuses "before even playing the game."
BTW, the supposed "flu game" was just MJ being hung over. Ask his teammates.
The most impressive thing to me is the 10 straight scoring titles, and at the same time, being defensive player of the year. He dominated the entire league on both ends of the floor
I wonder why they say LeBron is better
he dominated everything, in every way.
Even when he was young and still losing in the playoffs, everybody was already calling him Black Jesus, crowning him the best to ever play basketball BEFORE he won a ring.
BEFORE he won a ring!!! nuff said
LeBron who plus Jordan said he's the greatest
@stauf09 RIGHT i fucc wit 6ron 6ut he too 6IG and strong to 6e cryin 6ot a foul dat 6arley touch him. Jordan dem played u could hav a knot on ur head wen game was over 6ron cryin if u touch him. Ion really watch sports now dey done got to soft for me now.
@@stauf09Companies who have made deals with Lebron just pay people to promote Lebron. He’s supposed to be the face of the league but he’s not a Michael Jordan. I would put 5 guys above him.
Jordan never had to resort to flopping in order to gain an advantage. That's all you need to say because all of Jordan's accolades overshadow anyone else.
They was just giving out fouls for just looking at Jordan come on
Y’all dickriders kill me
@@kirkbogart496 lol, you Bronsexuals do cope hard. Why not a video showing us these so called phantom fouls. The linebackers playing in the NBA that tried to end MJ's career with nasty, violent fouls is already on record. Go search those videos.
@@kirkbogart496did you even watch the game back then? Lies.
@@HT-sm9dm -- Just ignore LeStupid fans. LeChoke loves to spread lies with his excuses and LeStupid fans will believe anything that comes out of his mouth. LeChoke is smart because he knows his fans are stupid.
I am really glad he mentioned those Wizards years because the media and casuals love to call it trash years when they weren't, that era was the toughest defensive era, it was expected for players to shoot below 50%, the fact that 38 year old Jordan was still able to hold his own against Prime A.I, Kobe, Vince Carter and T-Mac says a lot about his greatness.
Every single one of those guys you named will tell people themselves that Jordan was still a problem on the Wizards
He was still a top 15-20 player in the world at 40 years old. That's impressive
He did shoot an amazing 79% over those 2yrs on fadeaway jumpers so that go to move was still lethal.
@@chuckyjamesamartin1968 he was top 10 in scoring his first year even though they dont have him listed, which doesnt make sense because he played 60gms and Iverson is listed as the official league leader and he only played 60gms as well.
Jordans bulls year were trash too. Jordan never had a good season
Best Stats, but that's not what makes him so AMAZING to watch
He paved the way for so many
Everyone wears his number on their jersey and collects his shoes
Michael Jordan is an ICON
The Entire world knows who he is
The most Famous basketball to ever exist for a REASON
He wins Defensive Player of the Year and is the Scoring Champion in the same season. That is getting it on both ends. His career stats are awe inspiring. A true sight to behold. The number of 80+ games played in his career is amazing as well. If there was such a thing as load management, he would have had a longer career as well.
I saw an older Jordan as a wizard play Philadelphia. Iverson had famously crossed Jordan many years prior. At one point both teams got out of the way and let Jordan (on defense) isolate against Iverson. Jordan completely shut Iverson down. The crowd went nuts.
Iverson carried on that play
What year was this shutdown of AI. I'm gonna look it up as I enjoy some good defense
People forget about that fact. They only focus on what AI did. They also fail to mention that Jordan scored after that crossover and the Bulls won the game.
So much for that crossover.
In local interviews AI said if you watch the whole play, MJ recovered after the crossover and almost blocked the shot.
Ponders why noone ever mentions Iverson crossing up kobe?
Most impressive fact is that he he never declared himself to be the goat. He even praised the legends that came before him. He truly is the greatest of all time.
People were more humble and classy in years past
Totally agree as LeBron J flattened himself after winning seven 7⃣ in 2016 finals over Golden State(Jordan 6 -0 finals and James 4-6 in the NBA Finals).And His Defense was amazing!
King James the GOAT & it's not even close 👌🏾
@@504Treybro that’s all you been saying in this comment section 😂😂😂 you and your boy doesn’t have any facts to prove that he’s better than MJ.
Jordan called himself the GOAT.
I watched MJ since he was a rookie at UNC, all the way to his last game with the Wizards, and this so called goat debate is a damn joke. MJ’s impact, not only on basketball courts throughout the globe, but his impact on other sports, Hollywood, the he music industry, and in every day life for common folks is like
no other.
MJ Goat of all Goats
I agree with everything but one thing. Tom Brady is MJ’s equal. Those two will never be surpassed. Period.
@@nealschieberl9601 Mmmmmm I’m going to definitely not agree with you on that.
Sir, Tom Brady can’t compare to MJ, No damn way. I don’t hear other people on other sports, or outside of sports saying they want to be like Brady? What sports apparel are people wearing because of Brady? MJ’s Jumpman logo is synonymous to the Golden Arches of McDonalds, the Apple for Apple Phone, and on and on. What other athletes are wearing Tom Brady shoes? You can’t watch, basketball, baseball, or football, without seeing players wearing Air Jordans. What shoe company did Brady make in to a number one shoe company, and worth billions? So no, no so called Goat compares to MJ. Zero
he is worshipped like a god here in the Philippines
@@boybumbatso1582 wow
@@nealschieberl9601I'd say close, but not quite. But I'd agree Brady is the n.f.l. goat. And highly doubt he'll be surpassed.
From 90-98 without losing 3 games in a row. 8 years.
It wasn’t just fun to watch. It was great.
The best there is, the best there ever was, the best there ever will be.🐐
Nuff said.
Say it again
On his statue straight facts
Bret hitman Hart!

I still want to be like Mike and I'm 52!
I use that Mike mentality when living life. Never give up.
😂❤
One day it'll happen Uncle, one day
Lol..
Love that😂
I’m 34 and I am too lol MJ all day
He never gave up. When a player plays 80+games on both sides. All Star on both ends of the hardwood and 6 rings. In an era that was smash mouth. GOAT!!!
Give me a break. His era was the weakest in my opinion. There was also 2 expansion teams and the refs and the league did everything they could to make him better. A lot of those awards he received were not available for every era. So let's compare stats to Wilt. Wilt ha seven consecutive scoring titles eleven rebounding titles one assist title 9 field goal percentage titles and if blocks were a stat during his career he would have ten or more of those. He would also have several steals titles. If MJ played during Wilts era he may not have any scoring titles because he sure isn't going into the paint.

This man, in my opinion, is without a shadow of a doubt the best and most gifted player I’ve ever seen touch a basketball. I watched him from the time he started until the time he finalized retiring. He molded me as an athelete and he made me work harder to better my skills. There has never been another basketball player or athelete in general to motivate me more than this man. He’s just a once in a lifetime type of individual. As long as i breathe air I believe there will never be anyone to surpass his greatness. His hunger to get better and better those around him will never be matched and I’m just blessed that I got to witness him and the things he did on a basketball court. I find the comparisons comical and they used to irritate and anger me lol but I guess it comes with the territory and it’s just part of competition. I just know you can’t compare him to anyone…..AT ALL! Some people are just in their own category and he will forever stand alone in the one he created. The number #23 on any jersey in any sport always comes back to Mike’s name…..name another player who has that impact 🤔 He is The Goat and his legend will live forever💪🏾💯
The most impressive fact is that he's still the GOAT after all these years with weaker soft NBA play and that he still holds highest average scoring specially in today's NBA.
Jordan got wrecked his first 7 years in a row. When the best players were old or wrecked he got his chance, not but not until.
@@user-nj2vv2xm4j the Pistons averaged 31.5 years old when they were swept by the Bulls in 1991. You're as inaccurate as can possibly be.
@@shimontaylor2311 Again, Jordan got wrecked his first 7 years. By Boston, then Detroit on the east coast. Boston dominated Jordan. It was an azz kicking in the 80's , Jordan didn't win anything until the best players were either old or broken. I was in Boston Garden for almost every big game from 81-87, Boston won like 16 or 17 in a row. .lol czcams.com/video/kXNLtXUTRYY/video.html
@@shimontaylor2311LeBron definitely beat aging teams. The Spurs that he beat were well over 30. The pistons Jordan were still in their prime. So yeah Jordan beat guys in their prime and prevented guys from winning championships
@@shimontaylor2311 Dude is a LeDickalick. This weirdo called winning the scoring title, MVP, and DPOY in the same season "getting wrecked" 🤣
We saw him play once, when the Heels came to town in '83. He was already a legend by then. LeBum can say he's the goat for the rest of his life but we'll always have stats and video.
LeBum is a joke my friend.
not even close, lebum not even better than KOBE
@@januar2741please explain. Kobe has 3 rings while not being the best player on his team? How is that an all time great? He needed the addition of pau to win two more. Lebron def better.
There was always a chill in the stadium when they announced: "....And now 6 6 guard 198 lbs from North Carolina..." Most times you never heard Michael Jordan's name amongst the noise. G.O.A.T. No doubt!
Michael was not human. He possessed an uncanny ability to dominate anyone, anywhere. Greatest player to ever touch a basketball.
Basketball Reference has a stat called Game Score which measures a player's individual contribution on the court in any particular game. It rewards points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks and penalizes missed shots, turnovers and fouls. It's designed to look like points scored (20 is good, 30 is great, 40 is elite). What's great about this stat is that we can eliminate the whole "he had better teammates/tougher opposition" argument. If someone is the best player on the floor and loses, you can't blame him, and if he's not the best player on the floor and wins, it doesn't help his GOAT case. By average Game Score, here are the leaders in every playoff series Jordan has played in.

Out of 37 total playoff series, MJ was the best player on the floor in 35 of them. And even the two where he wasn't are within a very small margin of error, didn't hurt his team (they won both) and are very easily explained. The 1996 first round series vs Miami was a sweep, all three games were blowouts, and Jordan only played 34.3 minutes per game. The 1996 NBA Finals vs. Seattle saw Jordan have a very rare bad game in game 4 where his Game Score was 9.8. This dragged his average down beneath Shawn Kemp's. But, the Bulls entered game 4 with a 3-0 series lead, which means that if you have to have a bad game, that's the time to do it, you can hardly call it a choke job.
To be fair, LeBron was also the best player on the court far more often than not in his playoff history, but the number of times where he wasn't is far greater than 2, and many of those occasions, it wasn't that close. Not even picking on LeBron, check out any other player since 1984 (when this stat was first available, can't comment on Russell or Wilt), and you will not find anybody who was as consistently dominant in the playoffs, win or lose. This (among many other reasons) is why MJ is the GOAT.
EDIT: Here is how Jordan compares to others who come up in GOAT discussions, along with a couple of relative new players who potentially could. (Note: Bird and Magic's numbers are incomplete, they start in 1984, when the stat is first available). The first number is how many series the player had the highest GS by more than 1 point, the second is how many times he had the highest GS, but it was by less than a point, the third is when he trailed the GS leader by less than a point, and the fourth is when he trailed the leader by more than a point.
Michael Jordan: 34-1-2-0
Larry Bird: 11-1-2-9
Magic Johnson: 11-5-3-11
Hakeem Olajuwon: 18-1-1-8
Shaquille O'Neal: 19-1-1-23
Kobe Bryant: 10-4-2-27
Tim Duncan: 14-3-3-28
LeBron James: 38-0-7-8
Steph Curry: 9-1-1-17
Giannis Antetokounmpo: 10-0-0-5
Nikola Jokic: 5-1-1-5
This shows two things. One, I'm not picking on LeBron, this stat actually solidifies his case as the number 2 player of all time. But, still, the gulf between MJ and the rest of the field is Secretariat-at-the-Belmont-Stakes level.
Boston and Bird swept Jordan. He was not the best player on the court Bird was and it showed when the game was on the line. Jordan Choked, Bird didn't. Bird won MVP 3 times, Jordan was playing around that time. For two I think. Jordan got wrecked his fist 7 years, when the best players were old or retired he got to win.

Thank you.
One of the most impressive things about MJ’s career is that he dominated in an era that should’ve been a battle among the greatest group of centers in nba history for league supremacy. I mean, Hakeem, Ewing, Robinson, Dikembe, young Shaq, and Alonzo would’ve torn the league apart had Michael Jeffery Jordan not existed.
And the bronsexuals says it’s a soft era. That LeFlops will sweep everyone.🤦🏻♂️
Good point, Jordan dominated an era of great big men, and the rules were even in their favor. No one attacked the basket better than Mike. The guy had no fear when it came to taking it to the rack.
@@saltymonkey8874 That’s the criteria that those Bronsexuals missed understanding, DOMINANCE. The reason why those Lechoke fans thought that MJ’s era is weak with no skilled opponents it’s because they didn’t understand that MJ dominated all of his opponents individually.
Huh
@@saltymonkey8874 Love all the videos showing MJ dunking on 7 footers. Didn't matter who you threw in front of him.
Jordan was a freak, head and shoulders above the rest, and just running circles around everyone, night after night after night. He had no quit!
A big reason why Jordan was and is the best ever, and you don't often hear it sited as a reason for his status as the GOAT, probably because it can't be measured, is his fierce determination to win and singular focus on the game. It's something that can't be taught or learned. When combined with his freakishly large hands, pure athleticism, and intelligence/understanding of the sport you get the necessary components to greatness in basketball. But that killer instinct and raging determination to win at all costs, I think, is what propelled him to the top of the all-time greats list
Most impressive. Scoring leader and Defensive Player of Year. In the same year.
Or 6-0 in Finals. Or …
All those ppg leading averages and scoring titles came from dominating the mid range. Imagine the frequency and intensity. Savage 🔥 🐐
Never losing 3 in a row with the championship bulls teams is incredible.
Actually 6-0 in the finals the Bulls never lost a series ever !!!
And never seen a game 7 in the finals either always won in 6 games.
“Only player in NBA history” comes up a lot when you’re talking about MJ. GOAT
The most impressive fact from MJ is that at 20 years from his last game we are still talking about his greatness and trying to find someone that can compare to him. If in 2043 we are still having this conversation........ well you know !
A movie on the works in 43😊
Lebron will be talked about even more & social media wasn't even around back then so MJ is getting bc it hasn't been out long. Larry bird out played MJ in the 80s

That 87-88 season is what really sets him apart in my opinion. Scoring champ and DPOY. 1st team all NBA 1st team all defense. Led the league in steals and averaged 35 ppg. Only player to ever do this. Add the 10 scoring titles, 9 all defense 1st teams, and the 6-0 Finals record with 6 Finals MVPs and never playing a game 7 and the debate is ends. Never should've been a debate in the 1st place tbh.

His godlike aura, style of play and that tongue out is his best qualities. The perfect posterizer
Bron rwally things his longevity stats can out-goat MJ.
Funny thing is, Bron, Kobe and others chased him while Jordan only chased no one.
No he did not, Kareem was never the undisputed GOAT and nobody ever compared MJ to him, because they played completely different positions. As for LeBron, he created expectations he could not live up to by himself, referring to himself the "chosen one" and the "king", because he craves attention, so if there's a drawback in that, it was self-inflicted. He did have the benefit of knowing that the undisputed GOAT standard was 6 championships, 6 FMVPs though -something that MJ didn't have as a reference- which is why he did everything in his power to maximize the duration of his career and why he started ring-chasing when he realised it was hard to win championships.
@@chasebeecham12 How come these players who are so good don't put up better numbers in a less defensive league? Bron got held to 9 by JJ Barea, where was that AI athleticism or magic talent. I mean it was JJ Barea. Jordan dominated the best defensive players the league has ever seen it just isn't even comparable. The warriors might be able to beat Jordans bulls but keep in mind Jordans bulls had two all stars. The warriors had 4 and even then Jordan is so good those games would be close. You just don't know what you are talking about.
MJ all day #23

You forgot to tell that as a rookie he led the league in total points.
Hey said he finished 3rd, but no rookie has ever done better
@@davidvickers8425 yeah, 3rd in scoring average. But what this person is saying, is that he didnt mention that MJ led in points SCORED as a rookie.
He did, pay attention…..11 times he did.
@@davidvickers842511 times lead score in league 15 season in his career
Jordan having a 50 point game in three different decades is something that will probably never be done again.
Lebron James has done that too. Jordan is the best player I've ever seen play, with Lebron being 2nd best.
LeBron did that also
Want to hear something insane not mentioned here? Michael Jordan has 7 of the top 10 Playoff series scoring averages of all time... singlehandedly. He averaged 40+ in 5 playoff series, including once in the finals (41 PPG in 1993 against Phoenix). Kobe doesn't appear once. Lebron doesn't. Not even Wilt does. That's how dominant Jordan was.
He is the damn goat of basketball won't be another in a long long time
Jordan is the greatest offensive player to ever play basketball and the argument can also be made that he's the greatest defender since he's one of only four NBA players to make 1st team all defense 9 times and he also won POY once on defense which is absolutely insane considering the offensive load he carried. When you combine these two facts with his postseason prowess and ability to closeout games there just really isn't anybody who can hold a candle to him.
Wasn’t the best defender on his own team. Might be a little better than Kobe as a scorer. *Maybe*
czcams.com/video/d-sqgJTozO8/video.htmlsi=hMKq9FrEKYqEBthE
Show me footage of Jordan doing some shit like this and I’ll let it go. Until then, I am convinced Kobe was a slightly better scorer🤷🏾♂️
@@mybestnugget7514 LOL He averaged 5 more points per game than Kobe in the regular season and shot 4% better. More than 8 points better in the playoffs. "A little better scorer than Kobe"?? When it mattered the most in the playoffs he was SIGNIFICANTLY better. And yeah Jordan was right up there with Pippen and Rodman as 3 of the all time best defenders in NBA history.
@@mybestnugget7514 Ya you know... that slight difference between 10 and 1 scoring titles.
Correct... this is what I've been trying to say. He was a complete player. Even when Zeke was clowning him about his left hand being weak which was true to a point, when MJ corrected that ot was lights out. Alot of Bron supporters think we riding MJs jockstrap but we're NOT. LOOK at the tape between the 2. Its obvious... Bron has about 2 moves to finish off a shot. Mike has like 7 and he did it might in and hight out CONSISENTLY.
Jordan's THE GOAT! 🐐 ❤❤
Well done man! I really enjoyed the video 🙌🏻
The most impressive fact was that he is unmatched as a clutch player, he was a killer
Most impressive fact is that he *never* "disappeared" in not *one* game in the finals - while 2011 happened with Lebron
That's why I go nuts at the whole "longevity is for Lebron" argument! Really? Jordan doesn't know the word "load management"!
LeBron can play this game for so long because he does load management! #GTFO

And 2014
And 2007. And he had to fake an injury in 2018 for how embarrassed he was
Chuck said it best: "If you were bigger than him, he was faster than you, if you were faster than him, he was stronger than you." he was built to be a threat across the board!
Couple that with the mindset and the proper* fundamentals, and here you have the standard of true greatness.
Basically when you are looking on how SG should be built, look no further. Jordan had all - sweet spot on height, long arms, GIANT hands, incredible hops, speed and stamina, you name it.
@@bartomiej9807facts
The god of basketball. I'm so glad I got to watch this guy play after watching Magic, Larry, and Kareem play. That 20 years of basketball was the best I've ever seen. I've never seen anyone that I thought was better than MJ. He is like basketball heroin and after you've watched him, there is not greater high from watching basketball.
The fact that Michael took a break for 2 years playing baseball then came back and continued his dominance was crazy. Players won't say it but I'm sure a bunch of guys were like damn, we don't have a chance in the playoffs or championship against the Bulls with Mike.
Don’t forget about Phil Jackson’s strategic mind as well
Michael Jordan's most impressive 'fact' is that he was a straight killer when the game was on the line. When it mattered in the playoffs you heard him, in the finals 3 for 3 facing elimination. He was 4 for 7 in other similar games. When game was on the line, he shot 50%... he shot 50% against the 2nd best teams in the NBA AND THEY KNEW HE WAS TAKING THE SHOT. Think about that. You couldn't stop this man. Straight up assassin on the court. Greatest competitor of all time.
Look up Lebron's numbers, man was 0 for 7 when his team could tie or win in similar situations. I dont understand how this is even a comparison.
Lebron's great but he plays in a soft ass era where no one plays defense, he gets to rest all the time, misses a game if he wants to, gives up on plays all the time and overall never had the killer mentality. Lebron avoids the last few minutes, misses free throws and doesn't want the ball because he isn't "that guy". And you ain't that guy, then how are you the GOAT? Look at Lebron's stats in the last 24 seconds of a game. THEY ARE ABYSSMAL End of story.
THANK YOU!!!
Except in the 80's where Bird schooled Jordan. Jordan choked in every big game against Boston. Bird showed him how to win. Jordan's first 7 years against the best players, he got wrecked. lol
Yep, Jordan only dropped a playoff record 63 points on Bird. Still a record to this day
What a choker
In 6 games vs Boston, Jordan only averaged 40/7/6 with 2 steals and 2 blocks
Boston only had 5 HoF players on their roster. Jordan is overrated
@@user-nj2vv2xm4j Thinking you're making a point lmao. Jordan was on the worst team in the NBA, and Bird was on a top 5 team of all time. Look at the numbers MJ put up against Bird. You know that Bird called MJ "God disguised as Michael Jordan" from what he witnessed in those series?
No one will ever even be close to MJ, ever.
MJ is the Goat, no question but someone will come along eventually that will be better. when, i don't know but it will happen.

Good evening all. MJ is the man and the GOAT period.
Put it like this, MJ was so great that if I had not witnessed his NBA career for myself as an 80s and 90's kid growing up, I would NOT believe it lol!
Magic Johnson is my favorite player of all time, and I'm born and raised in Chicago, but MJ is the clear cut GOAT, and no one else is even close.
Absolutely right! To list his accomplishments is one thing, but to have witnessed HOW he got them is still mind boggling. Its like: Now, we know who he beat and how he did so, but then, watching a live NY-CHI game? Goosebumps.. Seattle vs Chicago... Pacers with Reggie, Rik... live, not knowing how he could overcome, yet he did, everytime.
@@raffyc66I remember those games. The pacers with miller and Larry bird as the coach was a very dangerous team. They went to a game 7 I believe but Jordan dominated and won in the end like always.
The sad thing is Jordan was so dominant, it's becoming more a detriment to his legacy in a weird way. Today kids who never saw him play say "no one could of been that good. His comp must of been washed". That's the narrative with alot of these Bron fans. It's sad. Smh 🤦🏾♂️
Bron fans are so bad that they shamelessly apply the “played against plumbers” argument to any era that they choose.
@@cycleoflife565 right...
@@cycleoflife565 If Jordan played against plumbers, then Lebron played against TikTokers.
Correct - plus all they know of Jordan are his highlight reels. Its the same reason, I'll never feel comfortable gauging the dominance of Russell and Chamberlain who were before my time - I've only seen clips and don't know how the game was really played back then. I completely agree with younger fans that on the average there is more skill and athleticism now. However, with the rules as they are there today there is no incentive for the players to use their superior athleticism to play defense - the rules just don't allow it. A flagrant foul today is a no call in the 90s. You're better off saving your fouls and hustling back on offense instead of playing lockdown defense. Guys weren't as athletic back then but they played tough physical defense. Offensive players couldn't carry or travel to the extent that they do now either. You can show all the clips in the world of players getting knocked to the ground on a layup or all the handchecking but I don't think people understand until the watch a full game to see the frequency and that it happened. The off the ball stuff was just as rough as the layup beatdowns - Centers and forwards would practically assault each other trying to get post up position, bone jarring screens... You don't see that in highlight clips.
@@njt2347 I agree 💯
Great video, subbed
In 10 or 15 years we'll be talking about the next best guy to come along in a generation.
And I'll betcha we won't be comparing him to LeBron.
Factttttttttttts!!!!!!!
There's MJ 🐐 and then everybody else.
My favorite is when people say MJ got bounced out the playoffs 6 times failing to realize what they are actually saying is that he he never missed a post season in a Bulls jersey.
Jordan as a rookie vowed to have the Bulls in the playoffs every season. How many times has Lebron failed to make the playoffs? 4 different times. And he had AD, Russ, Melo, and Dwight Howard in 2021 and couldn't make the playoffs. A team literally stock full of hall of fame players and they go 33-49.
The most impressive thing was watching him. If u saw him playing u already know. He was different. When he retired no ones fill that lvl. I love nba and i really enjoy new stars, but not even close.
This was great research. This video will definitely blow up. Its going to be mines and everyone elses go to for goat debates lol. Nice.
That record still stands 40 years later 63pts in a playoff game
In todays era where players are supposedly better scorers and more athletic no one has surpassed that yet

That game did go to triple overtime though

The 1996 bulls still have the best overall record of all time ( regular season + playoffs) 87-13 (87%) and a ring vs the 2016 Warriors 88-18 (83%) and no ring.

Wow! I am speechless... Thanks for posting this video.
The only thing i disagree with this is the fact if someone is bigger or more muscular makes them stronger , because Jordan came in the NBA known to the league as a skinny kid and he was being hammered by way bigger and stronger players than him and they never broke him down enough to stop him mentally or physically,i think it was magic that said once people don't understand how strong Micheal Jordan really is .
7 straight triple doubles! and 10 in 11 games! that's damn impressive.
Thnx for the video sir….Excellent…👌
I suppose people who think MJ isn’t the GoaT are the ones who haven’t seen him play in person. He was poetry in motion, in a way no player comes close today.
Wow good job man. See, most of us probably think we all know how great he was until we actually see ALL that he was and it's gets even better . Thou it only takes a sec to see him even on utube and stand still til it's over the more u dig into his career the more u add. I imagine lots of people getting sad when Magic or Bird retired but the real blow to the nba was when MJ retired ,there won't be another like him. And strangely he never had the need for his wife to caress his ego naming or introducing him as the goat lol,some people don't need an introduction ,we all know who they are. RIP Kobe u may be the last eco of a great era and a real NBA.
Bruh like honestly is not even close. He’s the best athlete ever not only basketball player
I definitely didn't need any convincing what so ever. This has NEVER been a debate between him and ANYONE else. He is one of less than 10 human beings on earth that is perfect in the NBA finals. This is a stat that can never be duplicated, period. The Chicago Bulls have a stat that no other team in the NBA currently can EVER duplicate, and that stat was lead by this man. Micheal Jordan NEVER saw a game 7 in the Finals. Literally impossible to debate that this man will FOREVER be the goat!
I was a guard playing high school ball and was pretty good too, my fondest memory was how we gathered on the weekends in someones house to watch a Jordan game,, then aftrwards we would head down to the tennis court where they had basketball hoops and play till it got dark, then theolder guys would park their cars around the court and turn their lights on so we could play til all hours,,,Jordan truly inspired us ! Still does forty years later,, theGOAT!
Much respect GOAT
That sums it up quite efin well.
Simply, MJ is the best in basketball’s history, no doubt, great video and amazing information. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
For me it was the fact that i started watching a sport that id never really paid attention to and during his time playing i couldnt get enough of watching him. Id watch the bulls play every chance i got. I was actually bummed out when he retired to play baseball and didn't watch for those 2 seasons. Then watched for the next 3. Ive always wondered if they would have won 8 rings if he hadnt retired for those 2 seasons.
Just imagine how much he would average in today’s game 40-45 ppg,plus we all know he would have gotten way better with his 3pt shot if he needed to. He admitted that he didn’t want or need to with his style of play and IMO the league’s style. Everyone said in the first few years of MJJ’s career he couldn’t go left, he then worked on it, as he did everything and then could school anyone he wanted to going left or right.
Unfortunately that a big what if!! We would never know.
Jordan would only average 25-30 points a game today... of course that's only because he's 60. Seriously though, he'd make up any "deficiencies" in his 3 point game (I agree with what you said about him getting better) with extra free throws. Imagine how many times he'd go to the line without hand checking and the way they call fouls in game today where defense is practically outlawed.
@njt2347 Maybe 20!! At current age.
He probably won't need to shoot a lot of 3's because on FT's alone he'll probably get 20-25 pts already with how ticky tack fouls are being called most of the time every game lmao
Good point. The percentage of his team's scoring was incredible. The league scores a lot more points per game now, and _still_ no one can hang with Jordan's output from back when teams were frequently only scoring 85 pts per game. That's the one thing that makes this whole GOAT debate not even a close call.
This is a very well put together video and one of the best I've seen that prove's why MJ is the goat!
Seriously, for anyone who has seen and can remember a full season of Jordan's play, the argument has always been about who deserves to be #2 behind the GOAT!
i am a diehard Jordan fan.
But i see the potential in Wemby to be the goat one day.
Of course a lot of things have to go in his favour and he has to remain more or less injuryfree during his whole career.
But he clearly has everything to leave his huge foodprints in the NBA historybooks.
He has permeated my life. He is the goat till I see it done better. I don't think I'm going g to make it long enough. My family has a young tradition, just two generations old. My dad gave me a middle name of Robert. After his favorite actor. My son's middle name is Michael.
Wow mate what a video! This one was different than the others. MJ is by far the most dominant player on both ends of the court in the history of basketball. Even with the wizards he always played hard and had some phenomenal blocks
