trha2222 Nonsense. Lebron is more comprehensively articulated than you could have ever fathomed to be. You’re just another sheep trying to fit in ridiculing and degrading someone.
She doesn't seem too much impressed by him and he obvioulsy appreciates it. I mean she sees him as an incredible athlete and not like a God... That's why they're able to have this really nice and natural conversation.
@@Noixey , it wasn't a bad move. That was her reward for birthing his 3 children and playing her role for 20 plus years. The man went out and bought a team right after paying her settlement. He's a billionaire with all sorts of investments all over the world.
MJ’s intellect far outweighs his basketball skills which is hard to fathom. This guys insight, wisdom, and just his flawless ability to articulate thoughts is pure poetry!!! God bless MJ!!
@@thsu8 Kobe was extremely intelligent too, but his form of conversation and articulating thoughts was more analytical. MJ just flowed like poetry, it’s different levels imo
A lot of comments focus on how well-spoken Michael is, and that is 100% correct. However, he was not always the smooth talking person you see in this clip and he was not naturally gifted in any sense in terms of his speaking/mental abilities. He put an incredible amount of effort and work (just like his basketball craft) to become a very polished, marketable athlete. Clips of him in interviews coming out of North Carolina give you an idea of just how shy he was and how far has he has come since then to become a very articulate individual. Glad to see him enjoying sports outside of basketball.
Curtis Ostriker Yes James is a good role model for kids and fans when it comes to those things. Also on the court he seems respectful towards refs and players.
Ahmad Rashad really thought how to be on articulate, dress, and behave on a professional stage outside of the court. In Carolina, he spoke well but it was mostly a Dean Smith operation when it came to the press. When Michael came to the Bulls, he had to handle the brunt. The Olympics of ‘84 put in that spotlight. Rashad. That was true with Chris Evert. She didn’t know anything about makeup till she met team tennis player, Kristen Kemmer Shaw.
@@vika0194 That's totally nonsense most young NBA stars behave very well and have excellent decorum. That ghetto statement comes across as extremely racist and against the youngster of today.
I just found this interview, I was in this game! When MJ was shown in the big screen, crowd started cheering him. This day was an incredible tennis masterclass, first RF beating Matosevic, then later S. William beating a tennis player named Townsend, if I am not wrong, it was like a practice. I still remember in my mind, the place, the atmosphere, how easy to get there using public transportation!! If you have a chance to go to US Open once, don`t miss it!
Such a smooth talker :) and he nails every right point. So happy to see him on the Arther Ashe and hope to see more of their collaborations. And the shoes look awesome and classy!
What a great interview. Not only was Micheal Jordan on point with with ever answer, the questions that the interviewer was asking were moved the whole thing among quite smoothly.
felipe rojas alou Sry bro but I am from europe and have no idea who willie mays is. And even Bird is not so recognised here. Overall I would say Ulysses is right: Jordan, Ali and Pele - thats the sport figures everyone knows. Maybe further on Woods and Bolt are this well known too but I don‘t know.
He definetely can paint a picture in your mind with carefully chosen words.Could listen to him speak all day long.The big thing for me is that he knows his subject.It makes it so much easier to communicate when you know what your talking about.He's nobody's fool.All class!!!
One thing I've noticed is that MJ is genuine on interviews. Kobe and LeBron and some of these other superstars today look like they are so concerned on how they look and sound like on camera. I say this as objectively as I can being that I'm a Laker fan myself. We miss you MJ!
+JackOfAllTrades True... Athletes today sounds like robots... I do think Federer holds his own but a lot of them goes go through the motions and say the "right" things...
No way. All the respect to Mike, but Kobe is one of the most intelligent and articulate basketball players ever. Not to mention he's never held his tongue for anyone lol
@Ulysses432 There are many different leadership/management styles. To suggest there is only one way to be an effective leader is close minded. The real litmus test are the people you lead--did they grow, learn, and improve under your tutelage? Were you successful in what you were trying to accomplish as a leader? Kobe checks all of those boxes. And Jordan may not have aired teammates out in public, but I'm sure punching them in the face was a lot more endearing.
You got that right, it's ok but it's nothing like watching him play. He would do something incredible and everyone would just STOP and the look on their face said it all. Did you see that?? Even players on the other teams would stop in awe, nobody like Mike!
Michael Jordan, Roger Federer, Zinedine Zidane. Those are the greats of basketball , tennis and football. It's not just about their skills or abilities at their sports, it's about how royal they look and act. Brilliant! my favorites.
MJ da greatest #2 only 2nd to Ali on the USA athlete list !! Michael is one of the cast the way he opens himself and articulates to the media without any hesitations in his tones. More importantly MJ humbles himself and he always let other people and journalist sing his praises. His cool demeanor and percieved approachability and simplistic openness is so text book ...he probably got the business from his Idol Muhammad Ali !!
The great thing about MJ is that he is not only one of the greatest athletes, but he is also very smart, he was fun to watch back then and now he is fun and useful to listen. The only thing I would change if i were him is to lower the price of the Jordan shoes a little bit! ;)
Yep Barry sanders, Ali, payton manning, hank Aaron, Mean joe green, gale sayers and roger Federer has to be one of the most humble human being to ever play a professional sport literally 🙏🏆👏
That awkward moment when you came to watch a tennis game and unknowingly an interviewer sits beside you and interview you until you miss what you came for.
And don't forget the interview is made by Mary-Jo Fernandez, the wife of Tony Godsick (and ex-player of course), Federer's agent, and that we saw tons of times MJF with her husband and 2 kids in Federer's box as a fan. I'll never forget her and her kids sooo happy (the girl crying) when Federer won the Australian open 2017 against Nadal, or also when he won Wimbledon a few months later, and that those 3 where in the corridors of the All England Club after the final to congratulate him (after prince William and Kate made it, and Edberg, Laver, and so many other legends of tennis, I don't remember everyone who was there or not this time).
I think the college and gambling how to in sports engineering I think the Dad's house placement is always so interesting on the side of the interviewer and the way they understand the journalism exchange like turbulence in the grey space of youthfulness and athleisure introduction in all things sports Nike etc.
Mary Jo is a total stud! She is poised, smart, pleasant, intelligent and a pure professional! She is absolute TOPS in commentary and interviewing! LOVE HER!
When a G.O.A.T. admires another. My 2 favorite sportsmen ever reunited, what a dream it was back then. Another G.O.A.T. fan of Roger is american skier Lindsey Vonn; without forgetting Tiger Woods who's friend with Roger since decades, and now, since a few years, 2 of Federer's friends are together in couple.
HIS EXCELLENCY MJ MICHAEL AIR JORDAN,HIS AIRNESS MJ NUMBER 23 ,THE LEGEND ,WILL NEVER BE BORN LIKE HIM ,HE WAS THE REASON THAT I STARTED TO PLAY BASKETBALL AND HI IS THE REASON I STOP WATCHING BASKETBALL ,SINCE HE QUIT PLAYING BASKETBALL IN 2002 I NEVER WATCHED A SINGLE NBA GAME
being an old nba player is different than being an old tennis player. tennis is a solo sport, b-ball is a team sport. you can rely on your teammates when you're 35 and still win championships. no one is going to help you when you're 30 in tennis
what's your point? that's obvious. Basketball is harder in some aspects because it requires teamwork, chemistry, and communication between players to win big. that's why even the most athletic and most skilled players don't dominate. Tennis is so much harder 1 vs 1 though.
my point is that no matter how talented you are. you aren't going to win in tennis if you're 35. 'cause you're physically drained. but if b-ball you can still win a ring if you're 38 or 39 as long as your teammates carry the weight.
