Michael Jordan becoming MJ deserves a deep rewind | ‘82 Men's NCAA Final 

Yes. Michael Jordan is basically "He is always better than everyone else, all the time, no matter what, and he always wins and there is nothing we can ever do about it."

​@@LuckyBird551the only way to win against peak Jordan is hoping he's trying his hand at the MLB or your not playing basketball at all and instead a game of poker.

Look how relaxed he is before he gets the ball ...and so the legend begins 😊

I was just thinking "And that swish was also the sound of the dagger going in."

@@LuckyBird551Jordan was very much Goku. Oh, you upped your game in the off season? Well he can just up his game to match you RIGHT HERE AND NOW.

Moral of the story: focus on the process not the outcome (Real moral of the story: expected value)

Except look up how things went for Blackhawks Cubs White Sox

Can confirm. As the son of a high school basketball coach, I grew up a Bulls fan through some dark years. Highlight of the one game we saw in person: Jerry Sloan getting a technical, followed quickly by a second & ejection for his obscenity-laced rant at the ref. Earliest memories watching the Bears are of preseason games with a rookie RB named Walter. His arduous journey to the top was culminating just as Jordan's got under way.

​@@aceassn716well lucky for most fans they don't often their cross city rivals like the Sox and Cubs

The white sox still had talent in the 90s.They were at least enjoyable to watch

And now you have made The Superbowl Shuffle reappear. Gee. Thanks.

Underrated comment

😅😂😂👍👍

Yup... cool pic

​@@bennisford1712James Worthy said Mike Jordan was just the new kid when they first met. Couple months before this Georgetown game, Worthy said Mike was now better than him. Clyde is infamous for being the opposite of Mike: no defense. Clyde & Mike faced each other in the NBA Finals with Drexler losing. The consolation was Drexler, Mike AND Pat Ewing winning Olympic gold together. Hakeem Olajuwon, Clyde's U of Houston teammate and Phi Slamma Jamma brother, won 2 Finals MVPs and Olympic gold later on. Hakeem's Rockets defeated Ewing's Knicks for the Larry O'B too. Worthy has a couple of chips himself ofc. Sheesh man what a roster of guys from the 80s NCAA circuit.

@@miguelladinodevera614 yeah...I'm glad I LIVED it... bball today not the same

@@bennisford1712true it’s not the same, we have a shot clock

@ericrobinson7861 lol 😆... game was better with the handchecking ijs final score was 90-85, not 129-127

And still was beloved ❤😂

Dean Smith was truly a great coach because his players has such great fundamentals stemming from education that emphasizes team basketball above everything else. Even though MJ's usage rate in the NBA was crazy high, he knew how to move within the team's offense. Except for the few seasons where he played with basically nobody at the point, MJ wasn't the guy who hogged the ball for 20 out of 24 seconds. He was among the best at moving without the ball, backdoor cuts, catch and shoot. He wasn't the guy who isolated all the time. When the triangle was moving well, he knew to move within the system and take a (relatively few) shots for high 20~ low 30 game. That kind of intelligence comes from years of training. Smith knew MJ or James Worthy in their junior year could probably average 30 a game(on second thought, maybe not 30, since the college games had such low scores back then, but still higher than what they did) or at least close, but they instead averaged 19 and 16. End result? GOAT and HOF member. MJ went from averaging 19 in college straight to averaging 28 in his rookie season. And they are two of the most fundamentally sound players in their positions, like ever.

Lol. ZONE defense held Jordan under 20.

There was no shot clock or 3. This fits better for John Calipari and any number of players.

Don't think the NCAA had a shot clock until 1986 or 87. In 1983 some conferences had a shot clock but it was conference games only

It's kind of crazy how "ancient" college hoops felt even in the mid-80s. No shot clock, no 3s, tourney was 48 teams, the NCAA didn't even track assists... It went through some drastic overhauls between the time of this game and '86.

Thanks for the patience 🎉

Consistency is everything

​@@NkJunior100well, Jordan was consistently inconsistency that year. But got it when it mattered

@@dreamchaser1419 They did kind of cover that in Beef History between Chris Webber and Jalen Rose.

@@stonecoldku4161 Yeah but you know that was kinda like more about their lives. They need to deep dive into the fab five on court wise and what made them so good. Plus the context of what happened in those 2 yrs specifically

He became that No way was he ahead of Kareem Magic Bird McHale Dr J in 84

@@aceassn716 he was on the same level or better already. Top 5 if not better. He was already being called “the greatest” by renowned basketball minds before the draft. Jordan led an Olympic team (Ewing, Alvin Robertson, Leon Wood, Perkins) of collegiate athletes against HOF Allstars (Bird, Thomas, Magic, Nance, Aguirre etc) Jordan’s team won almost every game the faced off. Some of them were televised.

Delusional

@@poorchris saying he was top 5 in the nba before he played a game and wasn’t even top 2 in his draft class is delusional. I don’t care how you spin it.

@@aceassn716Dr J was fading by then

some rando freshman

...or Mike Jordan.🏀🏀

the Air JorDAN!

"Georgetown University admits that the precise origin of the term “Hoya” is unknown." "The name “Hoyas” derives from Georgetown’s college yell, Hoya Saxa."

Apparently "hoya" is greek for "what" and "saxa" is latin for "rocks". So the Georgetown cheer "hoya saxa" is literally "what rocks!" 😐

so Hoya literally means "what."

@@waqas4318"What is a Hoya?" "Exactly!"

I'm sure there were more than a few fans shouting "Come on ya schnorers, DO SOMETHING" or something to that effect. :)

Classic Simpsons reference.

shes improved with her delivery so much the last few years

Exactly. Legend. Oddly, i rarely here her narrate as much. But then maybe i havnt been looking more. But her and that other fellow are really good, but Clara is my fav. Great voice for narrating videos and always hilarious the things she says.

No

Yep she’s the goat. At first I didn’t like the female voice. Now I’m hooked

Magic Johnson, Michael Jackson and Messiah Jesus.

Yes please

Love the 30 for 30 on NC State’s 1983 title run.

@@eriklakeland3857 yeah it’s great

Ariaga was a legend to see

@@g412bb Ariaga II was better

You do it.

Need the rewinder for 93 championship. UMichigan vs UNC.

Wow, im not the only one to think it!

Jon Bois will always be #1 for me but she's certainly one of their best regardless

They’re part of Vox Media so they don’t need to

They did a while ago for Blue Moon

One of many snapshot of an avalanche which got rolling his sophomore year of high school, with the varsity team's snub.

😂. He was a McDonald's All American. Held the scoring record in the McDonald's game for like 18 years. He wasn't lightly recruited

To be fair, it's good to keep their feet on the ground otherwise they might burn up in the atmosphere.

They were always on TV so imagine watching that nonsense. This was before ESPN had college basketball

He was NEVER Steve Kerr. Please.

Strangely I think I saw him play baseball of all things for the ChiSox

Heard he did Ight during his time in the NBA

Well.. Houston’s Akeem Olajuwon was drafted first before him.. I think that he might have a better career..

🤔
