Exposing NBA Legends Hating On Michael Jordan 

Pippen exposed his Ego when he had a temper trantrum over Kukoc getting the final shot against The Knicks in ‘94. Without Jordan he wouldn’t have 6 Rings. He needs to grow up.

It's a shame that Scottie Pippen has made such a fool of himself

I think they don’t hate jordan. They’re more so jealous that he was immortalize and regarded by the majority as the goat to the point we look at him as a mythical being. Like they didnt expect 20 plus yrs later that he’s still being talked about.

Pippin' be trippin'

I don't think MJ is ever going to forgive Pippen after the comments about his dad.

Can kind of understand why Isaiah is bitter. That Dream Team snub was huge: as someone who grew up in the early 90's I saw every guy who was on the Dream Team as the best of that era and anyone who wasn't as a level below. In reality Isaiah absolutely should have been on that. THAT BEING SAID he should just drop it. Oddly enough Bill Lambier handles all the shit he gets way better: he just doesn't give a fuck and makes no appologies, no rationalizations.

Isaiah used to say MJ was the GOAT. Clyde and his generation - they usually pick their generation as GOATS. I’ve been an NBA fan since 1979, 45 years. There were better athletes, better this or that. But no one comes close to MJ and the fear he put in his opponents hearts

Isiah is a punk. Pippen is a punk who rode Jordan’s coattails.

Isaiah forgot he and his team had to come up with a whole defensive scheme to stop Jordan

MJ was the Michael Jordan of all Michael Jordans

Bird, Magic and MJ is my GOAT three on three team. Add any of the great centers and forwards and it would be unbeatable five on five.

I 100% agree with you! Especially that Scottie Pippen take was terrible!

The impetus for the goat is being the best player on the championship team. Jordan’s 6 championships and 6 finals MVPs solidify that. The winningest or the most stats-no. Those are not what people watch basketball for. They watch it for the dramatic endings which Jordan was the greatest at.

What is it with men 50+ yrs of age, coming out and disrespecting each other, talking about each other as if they are going to take it to the streets. Jordan is doing the right thing by staying to himself and living rent free in every haters head.

Jordan wasn't perfect, but he is closest we've seen to it.

Michael Jordan The Goat 🐐

Scottie and Isaiah both on drugs

I was in my teens when Jordan was a one man show on the Bulls. If I saw the Bulls were playing on TV I would drop what I was doing to watch. You never knew what MJ was going to pull off next. Pippen and Isiah are just freaking nuts.

And Scottie bitter cause MJ son is knocking the back out of Scottie's ex😂😂😂

Loved the way you "expose those guys ...in a respectful way." You're all class, Sean. Love your channel and your attitude. You really love basketball for the art and the competitiveness of it. That's why I'm subscribed. If you were a Christian, I think you would behave more like one should than most do.

People forget that his coaches before phil told him to score alot, that was the teams game plan until they implemented the triangle and got his teammates to share the offensive load.

Because in the 80s they were talking MJ the greatest already but he hadn’t won nothing yet

Isaiah never mentions who Jordan had on those Bulls teams in the 80s when he wasn't successful yet. Guys like Dave Corzine, Kyle Macy, Gene Banks...players none of you have ever even heard of because they were no good. Once he got Grant and Pippen they started beating the shit out of everybody and swept Isaiah and his punk Pistons off the court and sent them packing. MJ stuck with his team until they built talent around him unlike Lefraud and the rest in the NBA who go skipping around to teams left and right.

I was watching those games back in the 80's and agree 100% with your critique of that time period, he had to do what he had to do to win.

I really like watching ur videos cause they're informative and there is no click bait involved it's just straight up facts and that's hard to come by now days

Michael Jordan is the most decorated player in the NBA.

Isaiah Thomas had his bouts with be a loser.as well...and hated on Adrian dantly...

Great video as always. Fix the typo in the title though, Sean! 😅

Being 6-0 and be called a loser while a 3.5-9.5 is being called the GOAT and a winner is all you need to know about our world right now

You're always on point SD! I stand with you on your assessments!

Great Video! Been enjoying watching your stuff! You should do a "Forgotten in Time" series. My candidate would be "Gus Williams" (The Wizard) who led Seattle to the Championship. Gary Payton will always be known as Seattle's 'best' point guard but Gus Williams was pretty fun to watch.

You can see Mr. Thomas’ envy for MJ coming out of his skin

I really can't believe that Scottie Pippen said that MJ was a horrible player now we can say that MJ didn't trust his teammates but to call him a horrible player is sum hatin to the greatest degree on Scottie Pippen part

Zeke ain’t never forgiven MJ for keeping him off the dream team, Scottie needs to be thanking MJ everyday. Without MJ Scottie would’ve been just another player. Thanks to MJ Scottie has 6rings and is one of the NBAs top 75. Frazier??? What did he ever do? Don’t recall anyone calling him the black Jesus. He’s just pissed cause Jordan beat him like he owned him

Love the long list of records that Jordan has

Jealousy is a hell of a drug.

Isiah's and Pippen's problem is that they flip-flopped for obvious personal reasons (Last Dance, Isiah learning later why he wasn't on the Dream Team). I watched a tv interview of Isiah in the 90s where he said Jordan was the greatest and he talked about Jordan with such awe and wonder in his voice and eyes. Pippen has been on ESPN calling MJ the GOAT in the MJ vs LeBron debate while T Mac sips his mug like Kermit.

Nicely done commentary!!

Appreciate the well rounded view of Jordan. Excellent insights into his 80's and 90's team differences that required different approaches.

Michael Jordan is the GOAT, period.

I rewtached recently late 80'Bulls playoffs games vs Celtics, Pistons, Cavs. The Bulls had Oakley, Hodges, Cartright, Paxson, and then young Pippen and Grant. But it wasn't enough. Jordan often tried to make a lot of assists and his teamates were often unable to finish th job. So he was forced to take a lot of shots even some bad, because even with those, he was more efficient than the rest of the team. Despite what Pippen said about becoming a team and starting to win, The Bulls started to win with : Phil Jackson as headcoach, mastering triangle offense and bodybuilding.

When Charles Oakley is the second best player on your team, you ain't gonna win much

Wilt fits what Walt said!

1st off you have to fix the title. 2nd I agree with everything you said here. The sweep by that Celtics squad was really close to a given. That squad was so stacked and was really the Celtics against Michael Jordan. And no words ever need to be spoken about Scotty Pippen. Scotty has demolished any sort of relevance with his off the wall chatter and hatred of Jordan. 👍🏼👍🏼

Great video, Sean! Keep it up!

Ever since the last dance Isiah thomas has been salty. All you have to do is go back and watch the games when zeek was guest commenting and all he did was praise MJ and say how goated MJ is.

I'm pretty sure Isiah Thomas retired with his tail between his wondering why no one compared him to MJ

And thanks fo keeping it 💯 all the time

How can you call someone who has won 2 3peats and has never gone to a game 7 in the finals a loser? 😂😂😂

The first part of his career Jordan thought he had to carry the team by himself, but when Phil came in and convinced him to rely on his teammates, he took it to a whole different level. I don't care about the opinions of jealous players who have a personal axe to grind.

Zeke and his no handshake walk-off after being beat.

Lol Scottie. "MJ was all 1v1." MJ: has a higher career apg average than Scottie.

How many players have 3 peats? How many have multiple 3 peats? Most scoring titles. Highest career and playoff scoring average in nba history. 6 and 0 in the finals. One of the most clutch NBA players ever. And the Jordan story of how he won is unmatched. Just look at his last game with the bulls. The combination of all his accolades makes him the greatest. Go watch the Johnny arnett video if you still have doubts...

My answer to Isaiah is, as great as an individual player Mike was in his early Bulls years, he lost or should I say his team lost because basketball is A TEAM GAME. HIS TEAM LOST BECAUSE THE GREAT PLAYERS HE PLAYED AGAINST HAVE GREATER HELP OR ENOUGH HELP THAN HE HAD. BUT, individually MJ did what he could and performed. That's what they cannot take away from him.

The Pistons beat the Bulls because Jordan didn’t have support yet AND because the Pistons were dirty AF.

Isiah, Scotty, Clyde, and Gilbert... You forgot John Salley, Dr. J, Lambier, and Kareem. All the HATERS in the house say HOOOOOOOO!!!!!

That relationship is done forever

He never lost in the finals 😅

8:00 📝 Versatility Index, which is invented by John Hollinger, is a metric that measures a player’s ability to produce in more than one statistic. The metric uses points, assists, and rebounds. The average player will score around a five on the index, while top players score above 10.”

Pippen can say that Jordan with not win any championship without him and that will be a good stament but saying that Jordan was a bad player in any time that he played makes no sense.

They just jealous 😅 Mike still has lots of fans after retired and people still talk about his legacy till now 😅

MJ is the GOAT. Completely right, Sean, that the Bulls roster in 80s wasn't competitive. MJ didn't gave up on the Bulls. He stuck with the Bulls even in the difficult years (80s). In Germany we used 2 say "Den Karren aus dem Dreck ziehen." MJ did exactly that. Made Pippen and many more players better players. I mean, look @ the Bulls centers. They made a 3-peat with Cartwright as starting center. No offense on Cartwright. But, c'mon... who is Cartwright compared 2 the famous centers of 90s when big men were really big men & the gameplays were based on big men... The Bulls beat all the teams (in playoff time (5-/7-game stretch) except in '95 (but MJ wasn't in basketball shape back then) with famous big men back in the 90s. Mostly because of Jordan and Pippen... and a really functioning roster where all the role players did their jobs 2 help the team win.

So exhausted with all this NBA "who's the goat" crap. ESPN beats the subject to death. RU-vid beats it to death.. Clearly this topic continues to drive lots of clicks and ratings. The fact that Jordan is talked about so much 20 plus years since he last played in the NBA is mind blowing to me and probably him too. We all saw the attention Jordan drew at the 75th celebration a few years back. Even the other hall of fame retired players were in awe of him. You rarely see Jordan or Bird interviewed these days. I think they did their talking on the court back in the day. They don't have the ego need to try to stay in the limelight. Magic Johnson and a lot of the big name players from the 80's and 90's are on every podcast or TV show they can find. Clearly these old players still crave attention.

Michael's very first game in his rookie year against the showtime Lakers with Kareem and all of them - the Bulls won.

Salty old men, that's all I heard 🤦🏽‍♂️

“Looser”?!😮

Be loser is a fundamental part to be winner

You were dead on with the reasoning behind the nonsense. And Yes the Celtics use to bounce the pistons the same way until they finally got by the aging Celtics roster, bad back Larry. Pistons beat them as health caught up with the Celtics. Mike learned to beat them and beat them convincingly and it was over for the Pistons. That Gilbert stuff.... wow, what a fool! I wouldn't be surprised to hear him claim himself as the goat. His wires are crossed!

7:57 ☝🏿 One of a collection but still not 1st on list when only considering his contemporaries.

I think it was his psychotic will to win at anything. Not just in competition, every practice was win/lose for him. Then if you got one up on him you better start prayin, cause he's coming back 10 times harder next time, he won't sleep until he gets you back. That kind of guy cranked up to 11 who translated it to basketball. Wasn't just his talent or hard work, he was a psycho about winning at everything.

I'm not sure anyone should be listening to Gilbert Arenas on any subject.

Great analysis, you dismantled everyone's idiotic arguments with reason. Thank you for calling them out

They can hate on this man all they want but somebody in both of their families are rocking J's regularly Lol!

In the 80s Jordan got what? Wooldridge? Awesome. Isaiah would be out 1st round too

Anyone who says anything remotely bad about Mike is labeled a “hater”💀

I hear your argument, but I would say that same argument fits to say Wilt was better than Bill Russell. Also you might say look at what Bird did in his first and second year at Boston turning around the worst Boston team ever.

1 on 1 - best of 10: MJ vs Larry Bird = MJ wins, MJ vs Isiah = MJ wins, MJ vs Scottie Pippen = this one might be close but probably MJ wins, MJ vs Lebron = MJ definitely wins. So these guys don’t get to say that sh!t they said about MJ. 80’s Boston Celtics basically didn’t have a small name in their starting five. Lakers - similar thing. MJ didn’t have that strong of a team in the 80’s as you pointed out. Jerry Krause assembled a lot of those 90’s Bulls players… so getting “booed” at the Bulls celebration was a d!ck move by a brainless crowd. Sure everyone could’ve communicated a heck of a lot better, and I don’t know what in the actual f*ck happened between Scottie and MJ, I don’t think we know the whole story there… But to say MJ was a horrible player…he might’ve been a horrible teammate at the beginning, but as a player… I would say one of the most skilled ever. Whoever says differently probably doesn’t know a whole lot about basketball.

7:59 Thats not the Versatility Mr. Frazier is referring. Likely Ability to adapt or be adapted to many different functions or activities.

The NBA has to consistently convince people that the product they are putting out currently is the best their product has ever been. If that entails bad mouthing the previous face of the league, they will apparently do it.

A few things... Much of what these players are saying is ridiculous; I entirely agree with you that when someone says that Jordan was not a great player, or that the struggles of the Bulls in the 80s falls entirely on his shoulders... those are idiotic statements. There were criticisms of Jordan at the time though that were fair and that did have their basis in reality. That he might have been a terrible teammate in the respect that he (reportedly) berated and even struck teammates for not performing is an entirely fair criticism. Kareem uplifted his teams. Bird uplifted his team. If the guys who were there say that Jordan did the opposite and that their individual level of play was in spite of the effect he had on them, if the claim is credible then it definitely diminishes his legacy as a player on a team sport. And I do not buy into the idea that without Jordan the mid-90's bulls would not have been championship material, as some have claimed. That team would have been a great with or without Jordan. As great? No. Great enough to win it all? Without a doubt. Was there anyone else in the league at shooting guard that was as good as him, to take his place? No. Would they have been able to find a good player to take that spot though? Of course they would have. This would have happened had MJ not returned to basketball. I was a kid in the 80s and early 90s. There were things about the way Jordan was talked about and hyped up that rubbed me the wrong way in that even as a kid I understood that it is a team that goes out there to play, not just MJ. I can only imagine what it is like to play at a championship level, as the core of that team did, and have your team mostly talked about in terms of one guy. Jordan is probably one of the best ever to play (The GOAT conversation gets a little silly beyond discussing who the top five or ten were), but if you are talking about a team being great, emphasis needs to be what makes the team great- and it isn't one guy. More to the point, it was especially not one guy on that team. Have some of his former teammates gone overboard when talking about Jordan as a player? I think they have lost touch with reality. Are there real things that can be fairly said of the man, that teammates could claim, that diminish his reputation or make any GOAT discussion even murkier? Without a doubt. It makes me wonder why they feel the need to be as theatrical as they are when talking about Jordan. Maybe it is because we do not hear subtle and nuanced points? Maybe that is why some of what they have said is so far out there (that is just speculation, of course).

Check your spelling on the title. Legends, not Legedens. It's correct in the description, though.

You can always count on Isiah to throw his "friends" under the bus, just like he did Magic.

Isaiah was bitter, after Jordan started winning titles I forgot Isaiah was in the NBA.

I love it how when its Jordan its: "Jordan and a bunch of crack heads couldnt beat 5 HOFers." But when its Lebron its: "Not Lebron fault he couldnt beat the Spurs in Cleveland. he had no help!"

Dude that logic goes both ways. You can’t single out a sole player in a team sport. Yet ppl attempt to do so with MJ. So when that logic is used to glorify him, it can be too used to criticize him.

It's often said MJ won 6 because he had Pippen, Phil, and the rest of his squad but why is MJ the only one? LeBron has had multiple title contenders, at least 6 , ditto Kobe, ditto Shaq, ditto Steph and the rest of Golden State, so did KD, Magic, Bird but only one of them won 6 titles with 6 finals MVPs and that was MJ. MJ isn't the only player who had a great team to help him yet somehow, he won more than any star player in the last 50 years and he did it playing a style that no other player could win with. MJ is the only player to win a title while leading the league in usage rate, a player like him with THAT kind of attention on the court shouldn't win titles but MJ won more than anyone! That tells you how special MJ truly was.

Is Jordan the greatest basketball player ever? That's debatable for sure. What isn't debatable is that these people all need their heads examined! All these guys were stars when they played, and Jordan was twice the player that they were! Jordan was one of the best or best ever at: Ball handling/Dribbling, jump shooting of the dribble, driving to the basket, on the ball defense, playing the passing lanes, finishing above the rim, overall tenacity and will to win! Don't hate, congratulate!

The crazy part it all this bashing of MJ is based on these guys emotions. Isaiah is pissed because MJ didn't want him on the 92 dream team and Scottie Pippen is especially salty because his ex wife vigorously tried in vain to enter MJ's family by attempting to bag one of his sons. It's all emotion

OK, they wasn't winning in the 80s, but MJ was dominating those guys that he said was on those teams they couldn't stop M. J

Zeke was right. Jordan never beat bird or magic, but they retired by the time jordan got his team ready and found his groove. I hate when people be like...ohhh jordan didnt win his first few years in the nba blah blah. Not many rookies do, plus he had a season ending injury and was still playin out his mind. Once him n scottie found their grooves, it became one of the best duos in nba history. And guess what? There was no bad boy pistons after that now was there?? Bulls laid them to rest. I dont feel bad for scottie. He cant just be happy being the best wing man in history. Hed never have the recognition he has if it wasnt for jordans hype. I dont think anyone denied scotties greatness except scottie. 6 rings, multi all star, olympic golds, helluva career, but scottie doesnt sell. Jordan did. Sorry, but there never would have been air scottie shoes if jordan didnt exist. Scottie should be happy what he accomplished with jordan. Instead he talks nonsence n disrespects the franchise. Get it together bro! Last note, anything gilbert says is just clickbait nonsence. 0 rings. 0 gold medals..0 everything. Only 3x all star. Dude was irrelevant.

I’ve lost all respect for Scottie!!! Isiah did it to himself and has no one to blame but himself!!!

Michael would have passed the scoring title if he didn't retire

Funny thing is Jordan averaged 33 a game his career against bird ,

The way you feel about history depends on which side you choose, plus this is all great entertainment.

7:42 Kareem Abdul Jabbar 1,560 GP - 38,387 Points Karl Malone 1,476 GP - 36,928 Points Kobe 1,346 GP - 33,643 Points *Inactive players ahead of MJ*

Wait. With due respect. I had to pause the video halfway to ask myself “Is this a discussion about MJ or the Bulls?”

What I believe it meant was. Isaiah Thomas was saying he was a great player in the 80s but loss great player in the 90s then started winning. He's saying Chicago bulls wins wasn't cause of MJ he had a great team who contributed as well. So the last dance shouldnt have been about MJ should've been about the whole team equal time. I'm a massive MJ fan and your channel so I'm not being disrespectful in anyway.. It's just my opinion maybe I over thought it

Think! That is a great concern & question! If we propose age as a factor! The Bulls still had a great team then, regardless! The old bulls squad wasn't super stars, but they were not lazy. Give Zeke his due! Come on! Jordan is Jordan! His accolades speak volumes, though no doubt! No one compares to MJ or Zeke!!!

I ain't a sports fan. But across the board, my buddies say Mike is the GOAT. And to be honest, I don't think they are wrong.
