Chris out here using his platform to spread some knowledge and reflection on the importance of being a father to ones kids thats DOPE! Each one teach one!! Praise and glory to the most high.
I'm really happy that you are able to provide those pristine analysis during those stay-at-home times Chris, and those words at the beginning should be embraced by all.
Im with u on the soundtrack chris!..nostalgic 90's hip-hop classic anthems goes well with the motion of this doc....kinda like the 8 mile soundtrack. Very accurate!
Sorry for your loss Chris, but for me I was born in 85 and my pops died In 88 never had a pop , but when he won it on father's day, and when he went back to the looker room and just broke down on the floor by himself. Crazy
Ronald Wilson you must be blind and deaf or a teen.forget the last dance,listen and look at games before 1993,you would hear commentators,former greats etc calling him the greatest
Ronald Wilson Bobby Knight was calling Jordan the best basketball player he had ever seen in like 1983. Bird called him God in disguise. At the very least Jordan was universally considered the best player in the league no later than 1988. And that was years before he won his first chip. Jordan’s MVP seasons in the mid to late 80s were absurd statistical spectacles. Like absurd numbers never seen before. People sometimes call Harden the best player in the league today and his best years are not even close to those 80s MJ seasons. When he started racking up chips in the 90s the GOAT debate was over. Like imagine Lebron winning three straight with the Heat, then putting in another three peat with the Kyrie Cavs. If Lebron had done that the GOAT debate would be over, too.
They (Bulls supporting cast) were "getting love at the hotels" too. Rock Star Groupies can't always get the lead singer, many of them still go to the Drummers room!!
Chris you nailed it! That's why I tell people that if a player emerges who is better than MJ, we will KNOW! There will be no debate. When Jordan ascended to the throne, no one was saying that"He's good but not as good as Dr. J". That's because Jordan was CLEARLY better! If Lebron was actually better than MJ, it would be clear to most observers! But that's just not the case!!
@@Blackmanisagod80 Half of it is because of the woman. Both people have to work to keep the family together, if the woman causes the relationship to end she is then the reason the father is not there
Bobby Knight called MJ the GOAT in 1984 and Bird called him God in 1986. Jordan was considered the greatest before he ever won a single playoff series. After that he won 3 straight championships, retired, came back and won 3 straight again. I haven't even mentioned any of the countless personal accolades. He's the undisputed GOAT, stop debating already
Chris made one bad prediction about kawhi Leonard free agency decision and they kicked him off the nation spot light. He is one of the most genuine people on these sports talk shows, I will forever continue to supports him!
I don't think it was the sternness of his dad in 9th grade. He explained that he wouldn't amount to anything in sports if he kept screwing up. It was logic and motivation, not fear or punishment tactics.
Chris you got it right on. Nick did go on First Things First the next morning and make a stupid mockery of Jordan losing on his return after the retirement. That man's a fool calling LBJ the GOAT.
Maybe Scottie has no regrets because he STILL believes he was wronged, at that time. Or maybe he is honoring the person he was at the time that those events occurred.
Delivering the goods! Look at someone like Steve Jobs, people hated to work for him, but he was a mastermind! A one-off a kind. Also, I wished they would have asked him why he would do the same thing again, he cannot be that stupid or bullheaded. This is one reason why I thought of him as weak minded.
@10:40, the truth is Jordan was considered the greatest player of all time before even winning championship. Larry Bird, who was on his way to win his second and third MVP when Jordan was still a rookie, refered to Jordan as the best player of all time when Jordan was still a rookie !!! When players and coaches and fans did it back then, they refered to his individual level of play or his skill level if you will. Just like Chris Broussard said, he would defy logic and conventionnal basketball wisdom with his individual basketball skills. Now later on, he added the accomplishments to it and all of a sudden he becomes unreachable...the basketball god.
I don't think Jordan would have been congenitally capable of throwing a game. He was almost pathologically competitive. He hated to lose at ANYTHING to ANYBODY.
That Bulls team was the worst efficient team in finals history. Dennis Rodman saved that team and should have been MVP of that finals. Jordan and Pippen were building brick houses while Rodman was giving them second and third chance shots.
People are performing this incredible trick, they are looking at things from the past through a 2020 perspective. Yeah, MJ may've been a bully but how do you deal with a bully? You stand up and punch em the hell out, you don't call the cops, you don't see a therapist, you don't commit suicide he did this to test their mettle. If you stood up, you got his respect, if you wilted you may've been benched. A new generation is being introduced to MJ, a generation who will literally go into depression and end their lives if they don't get likes on a social media page so yes he may seem like a big bad guy but, I'm old.
If we gonna use the "he wasn't in basketball shape" excuse then let's keep that same energy for when the Bulls swept Orlando when Horace was injured and Shaq was playing hurt. MJ averaged 31.5 ppg. Problem was that they was not very strong at PF because Horace left and Rodman had not arrived.
MJ averaged 31ppg but was out of rhythm and couldn't perform well in the clutch , they literally lost two super close games because MJ was gassed in the clutch, that's the series right there
He lost to a better team that had 4 all stars. Which required him to work harder. That bulls team had to work harder on the boards and defense all around because Shaq was beasting, no match for Horace 17ppg and 12 rbg, Penny was doing his thing. That would have worn anyone out no matter how much in shape they are. Had Rodman been there to counter Horace then maybe bulls win it.
Michael Jordan is a Bully! But he doesn't like to be bullied. The main reason he doesn't like Isiah Thomas is because MJ was bullied by Detroit! Michael Jordan is the definition of a Bully. Everybody has ran across bullies in their life. The bullies only pick on people who they think are weak. Please people teach your kids not to let Talented, Rich or Privileged people to bully them.
You Hit nail on the head. Had Jordan posters going up. Saw him in person, but he had flaws. He made excuses for bad behavior. He makes excuses for losses. 3x Detroit. 1 to Orlando. Left basketball rather than have his legend dinged . Having to show people how good he was without Phil Jackson and Scottie Pippen. I think he knows he would be back to 87-90 Jordan if he played in 99'. Taking a L and looking less than Great. Like Wizards Jordan.
And he went and got stronger to bully them back he didn’t run, fold, mentally break down there’s a life lesson in that instead of painting him as the abuser, your main statement ignores that he had to endure that to push through and it was correct so of course he would put his soldiers through that for them to push through
If Jordan succeeded at baseball he would not have come back to basketball. Jordan was paying close attention to Bo Jackson and he wanted to prove he was a better athlete than Bo..
Let’s see if Chris mentions that in the finals the bulls vs sonic was deemed the most lopsided finale in history. MJ was beating garbage teams in the finals.
Pfft. Deemed by whom? The Sonics were not a bad team. They were one of the best teams in the West for a stretch of seasons. In 95-96 the Sonics were great, the Bulls were just better. A lot of teams and players don't have rings because of the Bulls.
The principal reason that Jordan's leadership style 'worked' was that the hierarchy of the plantation still applied in the locker rooms of America. This was the glorification of the athlete as 'gladiator' on display for the masters where only the strong survived. You are celebrating dysfunction. You are celebrating man's inhumanity to man in service of the master. You have internalized the vile maxim of "all for self and nothing for others" to such a degree you are like a fish who can't see the water. Let me prove my point in terms that you can accept because I know the verities I spoke above comes from texts you will never read. Kobe. Yup, a one word explanation. Kobe tried to do what Jordan did but he was doing it in an era that had outgrown that regressive mentality. Or at least those at the forefront of social progress had done so to a great enough degree that it was able to trickle into the locker room. This is why Shea Serrano and Bill Simmons did not view Kobe in the light that they saw Jordan. Instead they saw him as an 'anti-leader' as a destructive force in the locker room. I am very sure that they would not describe this as their position but these are the social forces they were responding to. This was the understanding and the language of Kareem. The joy of Magic. This is what drew KD. The joy of Steph, the laid back of Klay the progressive intelligence of Kerr. This is the flip side of the Jordan coin that his success then and even its echos in the Republican Party now seeks to repress and invalidate. This was the language of Tim Duncan and expressed in the poetry of 'the beautiful' game. A team game. You didn't have to kill your opponent all you had to do was be better at the game than them. This was what woke Pop from his dogmatic slumber and allowed him to evolve beyond his military indoctrination. Yes Phil Jackson liberated his team from their master and sided with them in that fight. But he was never able to see the bigger picture that would have liberated all players from their masters. And everyone was still decades away from liberating the masters themselves from the yoke of player "ownership". As Jung famously said, "The only thing you need to know about power is how to avoid it." This led to the era of player co-operation. They transcended the hatred of the other instilled into them by the bosses. This is what crushed once and for all the 'us versus them' of the Bad Boys Pistons, Bird and Jordan era and turned it into the Us with Them era of Lebron and Silver. The road that Kareem and Magic, West and Buss made for those within their organization but were never able to fully spread to all. We, properly, celebrate those who changed the game forever. Wilt and Kareem the big men with little men skills. Jordan and Magic and Bird the guard and wing domination of the game that survives to this day. Nash and Steph and Klay and D'antoni and Mori and analytics. I.e. The "Oh by the way, 3 is worth more than 2" revelation that was hilariously slow to occur. Never get too far over your skis my friends there are several hundred of these things we are missing in all walks of life right now. One of my favorite examples of this in the wider world is how long it took us to make traffic lights that give you a countdown of the time you have to cross the road. And change the game is what Lebron did in the most profound way possible. At the most elemental level. I.e. The players relations amongst themselves as a league and as a community. Being so united that their strength forced the owners to view themselves as part of that community. As individuals who would gain more from collaboration than they would by domination. To call this a revolution is not to oversell it. Out with Sterling and in with Balmber and Cuban. Men who came with their own ideological limitations. Not the limitations of the master mindset but with the limitations of the mindset of the libertarian. Perhaps not as dangerous as Sterling's plantation mentality but far inferior to what was being built by Lebron, Paul and Silver. And to their credit when these new owners found themselves confronted with a wider and deeper view of the nature of humanity they did not fight it they .embraced it. Though it has to be said not all at once and still to this day not unanimously but at least with the overwhelming majority. This new view of the relationship of players to each other regardless of team is a view that came out of the struggles of the sixties against the war and was fundamental to the world view of players like Kareem. It was however still at war with the view of players like MJ and Kobe at least in how they viewed their relationship to their opponents and other teams. Lebron is the leader who finally won that war or rather won that peace. On that basis along with his on court skills and accolades there is ZERO doubt that Lebron is the greatest player in the history of the game. And truly it is not even close because Jordan was on the wrong side of history on the most important question of all. What you are doing for your community. What you are giving back. How you change your world and the wider world for the better.
Scottie lead the team in all categories.. He made one mistake.. Besides that.. He could've lead the Bulls for years to come.. The Knicks beat them in a game 7... Another full year without Jordan, and the Bulls would've been in the finals..
Scottie Pippen mad at Isiah Thomas. Michael Jordan is throwing Scottie Pippen under the bus in this Documentary. Michael Jordan has control over this Documentary he did not have to bring up Scottie not going into the game. Jordan was playing baseball then. Scottie Pippen, Jordan is not your friend!
@Brian G Have you heard Scottie Pippen say anything negative about Michael Jordan in this Documentary. I am pretty sure that MJ did stuff Scottie didn't like. Michael Jordan is not Scottie Pippen friend.
Michael Jordan is a Bully! But he doesn't like to be bullied. The main reason he doesn't like Isiah Thomas is because MJ was bullied by Detroit! Michael Jordan is the definition of a Bully. Everybody has ran across bullies in their life. The bullies only pick on people who they think are weak. Please people teach your kids not to let Talented, Rich or Privileged people to bully them.
But they could go into his downfalls? So only Jordan should have low lights? Documentary is supposed to be factual what happen with Scottie was a thing
