The Cavs were actually a better team than the Bulls in the late 80s. They had 3 All stars(Mark Price,Brad Daugherty,Larry Nance),plus Ron Harper,a great wing defender that would be part of the Bulls's second 3peat roster
Everybody guard position was guarding him.. Dominique Wilkins brother thought he could but Jordan always but 30 on him and he was a great defender back then. Joe dumars from Detroit was good defender also but Jordan but 30 on him too.. so it didn't matter. Dan majerle defended MJ alot too. He torched him also.. whoever wasn't that he'd put up 40 or 50. One game he scored 69 against Cleveland and they were playoff contenders back then. Douglas I knew him he was a PG it didn't matter who he played he lost the Jordan. Other players knew MJ had so much strong personality he had killer mentality.
Nobody pays attention to who's guarding LeBron either until he got clamped by JJ Barea... Also it's Craig Ehlo. The Voice call is literally burned into an entire Generations head and even mine just on highlights. Y'all are so quick to forget that the Cavaliers were called the team of the 90s because they were expected to dominate for years to come but Michael Jordan literally went into a fucking interdimensional bag to rip their souls out
The cavs would've won a ring had it not been for Mike. Every team in the playoffs then we're great teams. But they get overshadowed by Jordans greatness
"Why is everbody scared of this guy?".... (answer): Because they PLAYED against him and they knew what he could do. That is what separates Michael Jordan from the likes of lebron James if nothing else. Practically everyone in the league knew that you didn't dare talk smacked a Michael nor did you challenge him because because then he would end up dropping 50 or 60 on you. If you told him he couldn't do something he would turn around and do it just to show you up. Case in point; the infamous "Shrug Game" against the Portland Trail Blazers. I was watching that game live and I laughed my ass off because he did it just to show everybody that he could shoot the 3 ball. Why do you youngsters sound the same? You all try your best to discredit his competition when his competition would whip your ass all day everyday. None of you on these RU-vid channels would have had enough game for even the worst player in the NBA. This was already proven with Brian Scabrine. Brian had some of the worst stats in the NBA yet when he was paired up against average players and college players he torched them all. The Cleveland Cavaliers were actually a good team back then. It didn't matter who was guarding Michael Jordan because NOBODY could stop him. You try to discredit his competition by saying they are weak when you seem to forget that lebron played in a conference that was considered super weak. The Eastern conference was dubbed the "Leastern Conference" because it was so easy for him to win. So don't go off about Michael Jordan's competition. Lebron never had to go up against a team like the celtics that was stacked with 5 hall of famers including Larry Bird. In fact Michael went up against more hall of famers than lebron ever will. Who is Sherman Douglas? If you were a true STUDENT of the game, you would know who Sherman Douglas is. That's the benefit of me not only being a FORMER basketball player, but also a STUDENT of the game. Sherman Douglas was the person that was dubbed the "Floor General". That is where the term comes from. Sherman was also the one that that started the trend of the "running floater" in the paint. Trust me when I say you wouldn't get one on Michael Jordan. You are not that good. Michael Jordan would use you as a poster child. But I will end this on a more positive note and give you extreme props on recognizing Michael Jordan's scoring title as well as championships. Jimmy highroller did an excellent job at making it visual. That's something that no other player has ever accomplished like that. I'm glad you gave him props on it.
Ain't no damn second-best. By every metric besides longevity he's the best. Longevity be damned. That's only one part of the equation and he wasn't best at literally everything else. All LeBron fans I need you to pull up the playoff per game numbers real quick and pipe down.
If you didn't experience playing against Michael Jordan then you can't really say anything about not fearing him. You would fear Him bro. You would probably fear Kobe as well.
Why do u say jordans competition was weak and today's league is so much more talented them say lebron lost cause he had no talent so the rest of the league was talented except lebrons team come on man make up your mind
We do know who was guarding him. YOU don't. You sound weird talking about things that you don't know because you weren't alive to actually see, yet you speak with authority or diminish facts because you want your favorite player to be number one. Stop doing that bruh. Women do that. Take in information, educate yourself and still stay open to new information. When facts/evidence prove your position wrong, change it. Ron Harper and Craig Eloh was guarding him in that Cleveland series. I know that because I actually WENT to a lot of those games youngblood. Cleveland was among the best teams in the NBA. Detroit and Cleveland (no ring) were powerhouses and in the playoffs every year back then. You didn't even know that, yet you said with authority that they ain't never been nothing. You literally don't know what you're talking about. Jordan is the greatest and most skilled basketball player to ever walk the earth and it ain't even close.
Dude don't know NOTHING about the history of the NBA bcuz Cavs were a really good team and they were favorite to win that playoff series and they had a BETTER TEAM than the Bulls BUT THE GREAT MICHAEL JORDAN WAS THE COMMON DENOMINATOR and he put his team on his back and won that series. LeBlame James will NEVER EVER be better than Michael Jordan. This dude don't know his facts.
The only best player that ever lived there's nobody else besides Kobe Bryant that's next to him LeBron James is not even the top 50 so I don't I would wish people would quit trying to put these two in the same category when they're not you're trolling in this whole thing sucks that you're doing
