@@thaoneguy2 BO was a genetic freak! Too bad his career was cut short! Yes BO probably the greatest athlete! I can't believe he didn't even lift weights!
No, Snowflake, he was COMPETIIVE, in the simplest sense of the word. Nowadays, that scale diluted SO badly that even LeBron is not even half as great as MJ. The only one who came close to MJ's caliber was no other than Kobe...period. Even then, Kobe was no match against MJ.
@@garonpresley lebron with 2 other all stars folded against the mavericks so I get the machine malfunctioned during that series. Mike was a machine how do you put up 38 in the finals against Utah and wins only 1 M.J.
sycho sid he has to be in the same stratosphere to be in the GOAT convo. Buttt. The way people like Larry bird and magic Johnson speak and spoke about MJ when he was so young shows his good he was. He moretime is the goat. Lebron cannot be discredited though. He’s a beast
And all people talk about is LeBron dominating at 34 as if they have never seen it before. Did they not forget the MJ won the Finals MVP at 34 and 35? LOL
I get that, but MJ took about 4 and a half years off total and I believe he would win probably 9 championships in that time span. I mean who in the hell was going stop him? LOL
@@Renegade77784 1991-1993,1994 (maybe they beat hakeem in 1995 but i will give this to houston a) 1996-1999/2000 thats 8-9 championships they could of potentially won!
@Ulysses432 Isaiah Thomas also beat the Bulls 3 times in a row, no other team has given MJ more problems then the Bad Boys. As for MJ creating the Bad Boys, that is not true, they became a more defensive minded team after losing to the Hawks in the 86 playoffs.
I love going back down the memory lane and hearing these again. Those were some good days in NBA history, not just MJ but NBA in general. Thanks for the vid!
I would say 2 sports play is overrated think Bo Played Baseball Football all through his life now imagine he gave up baseball as a young teen and just said I'm only playing football then in his 30's decided I'm going to play baseball. It doesn't work that well at all. Look at Herschel Walker Football Track and MMA
@JesusLovesGunViolence Bo didn't have the resiliency.Craziest thing about Mike was his ability to hang in the air.I haven't seen a player match that ability since.
The man broke thru 4 man defense in the laint to get his basket in spectacular fashion never seen before, just watching him do that in the highlights you get the mind blowing athleticism and destroy mindset this man had
That's the thing I loved about Jordan. He had all the young talent coming at him hard every game and he embarrassed them saying you are not on my level.
@money Mark No he meant Banana Boat because Bron & Wade had that summer in Miami when they were riding a banana boat out in the water together before getting that ass beat by Dirk in the Finals...
these stories are amusing, but it really is a candy-coated version - truth is, mj was nasty and mean spirited, and would verbally humiliate people on and off the court - it is more important to be a decent human being, than it is to be a good athlete , period
When Basketball is still the BattleField of effort and practical Tactics or Strategy..... Michael is the WarLord..... Always on the Move to destroy.....
Lol come on.. your just a cynical guy or dweller. There's no comparison to mj. But harden gianis Bron splash bros Westbrook and more are entertaining to watch.. stop being a Debbie Downer lol
dee kay The only way the NBA will be great again is to get rid of that annoying 3 point line. It’s lazy basketball to just keep shooting 3’s all the time.
dee kay I want to see guards and small forwards driving to the basket for layups and dunks or pounding it inside to the big men. A 60 year old man can shoot 3’s in his driveway all day long but can’t do one layup or dunk the ball.
I was conceived in Chicago in 84, born in 85. Unless you were born in that time, and seen what I seen LIVE-- you will never EVER truly understand how magical Mike was. We basically had nothing but our family, love, and a small television to watch the game. Do you know how loud the city became when we won? You heard celebrations everywhere as if it the ball dropped on New Years, as soon as we won the game. We had NOTHING....and MJ was part of that reason why WE could day we were number 1. The stuff he did on the court was poetic.... it was like watching a movie.
i wouldn't know how to feel. getting cooked for 40+ while doing what coach says then gets screamed at for doing so and the MF baking you comes to say you're doing pretty good 🤦🏾♂️😂🤣
@@Tiger24kicks Bird is top 5 greatest players of all time. To say he is overrated and put Kobe Bryant #2 is just sad. Bird was a great shooter, great scorer, great passer, great rebounder, great leader with probably the highest basketball IQ in the history. T-Mac was a great talent but too many injuries. Iverson is extremely overrated by his fanboys. Hakeem is top 10 all time great player also. The most skilled big man by far and he won the title without another all-star level player in 1994 which I don't think was done by another player.
You know what that means when Mayo said that MIKE WAS MIKE LOL! 😂 DOOMSDAY arrives for Mayo and MJ proceeded to light Mayo up like a Christmas Tree, all day long. 🎄😂
Jeric Aspillaga Getting goosebumps?! Bruh, you’re a true fan like I am...! All these haters saying he was an awful person , we’re talking about the sport and how awesome he was at it...👍👍👍
Looking at the memorabilia in the back makes me miss my game-issued MJ jersey from 1996 when the jerseys had the gold logo. I got MJ to autograph it. Had to sell it because of hard financial times. :( Aside from MJ rookie card, that is my holy grail.
There are some current players who in the off season go and play with Jordan and say he can still play in the NBA for 10-12 minutes a game and score double digit figures and hes in his 50s
When MJ is on the court he turns into a ruthless unmerciful beast. He's the most competitive human being I've ever seen. He likes to take things personal which motivates him. Kobe is a softer and nicer and humble version of MJ. LBJ is just too nice although he's stronger faster and more athletic he can't be better than MJ because of his mindset.
I had a discussion with a buddy of mine about nothing beat the NBA when they had the " I love this game" slogan going. Up until the lockout that time in the NBA was pure gold Yea mike and the bulls won all those titles but there were always very competitive games every week and the talent level was pretty even across the east and west. Instead now 90% of the talent has been in the West for so long. I miss the I love this game era...
I can't see another player ever being like mj ,his era against those players and his mindset and confidence and skill are still and in my book will never be matched.end of
He at a god like level on every possession. Played both sides. It didn’t matter if it was the first game of the season or the finals. He showed up every freaking night no matter what. I’m grateful to have been able to watch him in his prime. I regret not watching more of his games.
I love to hear every stories about MJ. it is a pleasure that I witnessed your greatness I would really love to tell this to my grandsons how dominant you are and a great competitor. GOAT 🐐
D. Wilkins is the most similar of a player to Jordan when it came to driving, dunking, short range shots and overall physicality and athleticism. In fact, he was the only player who outscored a prime Jordan on several occasions. Not once, not twice - several. In today’s league, I don’t see anyone as physical and athletic as Wilkins and Jordan. Those two, along with several others - but especially those two - made basketball look like a contact sport.
Theres a video that shows Jordan's catlike shock absorbers after dunking. He would land with both feet and immediately spring back on d. Never seen anyone else do this as most ppl need a second to gather themselves. Mj really was an athletic marvel.
Mike is without a doubt the best of all time, and that's supported but many things, one of which is that Mike rarely played at 100% of his abilities. Think about it. How many times have you heard the story of Mike indicating to his opponents that he was going to fire it up, and he lost the game afterwards. Literally not one that I can remember. And who else had the confidence to basically tell his team or opponents, that he was going to take control of the game and dictate the outcome of it.
Grant Hill did his thang vs the Bulls and no way in hell MJ would step up to guard Hill, it was all Scottie Pippen. Healthy Hill would Destroy MJ if Pippen was not there. This is how that era was, it was a Stacked Bulls team with MJ and Scottie vs 1 or 2 superstar.. enough said.. but dont get me wrong MJ was fun to watch he is definitely goat..
@@younged510 Dude, you are high. MJ won Dpoy, before. Pippen has never won Dpoy. Dpoy is for locking down your opponent. Hill was not some giant beast like Shaq, lol.
@@craigwilson5365 bro rewatch every game bulls played Grant Hill, then rewatch every game Bulls played Penny.. Pippen was the guy 80% defending the main guy. I am not saying MJ wasn't good but give Pippen credit, cause without Pippen who knows how many rings MJ would of got. Dont forget what Pippen did with the Bulls when MJ retired lol I'll just remind you, 1 game away to reaching the finals Dude was like Lebron James with better Defense. Now G.T.F.O.O.H!! Enough said..
@@younged510 So you telling me you have every game archived? Lol. Lies. Jordan made Pippen. Pippen even admitted it. Pippen averaged what, 10 pts a game his first couple years? He said him and MJ played 1-on-1 almost everyday. It made Pippen a better defender and scorer. And I saw what Pippen did, he failed without MJ. Didn't even make the finals. Did he win Mvp? Did he win the scoring title? Did he win Dpoy? It's funny cause all legitimate Hofers that played with MJ, said he wanted to guard the best over and over again. Go watch what Gary Payton said about him. I believe these Hofers over some idiot like you who spreads lies.
@@craigwilson5365 So how far did Jordan go without Scottie Pippen even with all the Stat padding and all those achievements. I will just tell you, didnt even make the second round.
20pts in 1st qtr on Grant Hill, 33pts in 4th qtr on Reggie Miller, 60pts on Dominique Wilkins and ATL, Some guy gets elbowed, 45pts and and a compliment for Ray Allen, OJ Mayo got the gym cleared on him.
No.....The Universe Galaxy has the best channel. That guy id really smart. This guy BTM just takes common sense things and scratches together sports videos.
MJ was ruthless offensively and a gift on defense because all he cared about was a mission of success at all costs. That's the essence of success itself!
@@chefqxe I even used his fadeaway with the foot out.. Super hard to block..lol.. I would yell out "Ewing!" When i let it go.. Not to mention the shoes were some of the greatest ever
Brother JETSTEEL you right about that both Jordan and Bird where a nightmare to teams that had dreams. #facts when the NBA meant something and was more watched than football.
Bird is probably one of the few players that MJ had an admiration for. It's a shame Bird's back gave out because we probably missed out on at one epic Bulls-Celtics series where MJ finally overcomes Bird.
Your little early 90s into music is great, i used to LIVE to watch Inside Stuff w A.M. and hot ass Hanna Storm 🔥 The NBA, basketball in general, owned the 90s
Christopher Miller lies do your research jordan killed him every time they played grant had some good moves Jordan in his prime killed him. 40 years old jordan he couldn’t even hold
TRMG Before Grant Hill got hurt. He came in killing the league. I remember. Don’t need research. Grant Hill was the leading vote getter for the all star game pre injury. You Jordan worshippers want to believe he never got owned but he did. Grant with the Pistons was giving it to Jordan. Just like Jordan lost more than he won vs the pistons and Celtics. He also got dogged by Penny Hardaway in the playoffs but y’all lie and say that he was out 2 years instead of 1 years. Go ahead and cry your excuses. Probably the main reason Jordan went at Grant like that was because he knew that was his opportunity to paint himself as so much better. Because Grant was killing him and Pippen when he was healthy. Do your research chump! You’re on RU-vid already go watch some grant hill highlights from his first 2 years.
Christopher Miller he was out almost 2 years and came back late in the 2nd season and lost to Orlando. And yes! Like many great players w infinite promise, Grant was amazing, and we never got to see what he would have been. But Jordan is the GOAT! He just is
Sean Stewart Dude Jordan is not the greater than Kareem, Wilt, Oscar, Lebron, Bird or Magic. And I know y’all are gonna latch on to me saying Lebron. But for me I’m just stating the truth about how over exaggerated Jordan is. Do y’all watch the games not just the highlights. Jordan was great but this lie is ridiculous. There is absolutely no argument that Jordan was not as good as those guys. He was more spectacular. I get it. But he was not better. You fans are wrapped up in the ESPN narrative. This video alone is proof that he isn’t the goat. Collecting other players to say why he was so great is kinda promotional. You see these all the time and it only seem to be for Michael. Not for Jerry Rice, not even as much for Muhammad Ali. Not for Lawrence Taylor. You don’t have to round up ex opponents to do this for anyone but Jordan. I know I know I’m a hater. But it’s true. No matter the sport they only do it for MJ. And Jordan was just another all time great. Not the greatest but another all time great.
I love these stories. I've been tuning into BTM a lot based on the recent NBA politics. I will always love the game. Yet for some reason, I haven't been able to watch one NBA game because of the Hong Kong situation. To Sean David, I enjoy your enthusiasm and love for classic NBA basketball. Keep it strong.
My favorite story is the one told by Antonio Harvey. AH talks about Derrick Martin talking trash to MJ who’s being guarded by Byron Scott...and MJ torches them in the last 10 mins to take the lead ends, MJ turns to DM and shouts “shut up you lil B****. Ends up with a Byron Scott about to fight DM in the locker room. Cracks me up every time. If you haven’t heard it...look it up.
Jordan's offense was like Kal-El's; his defense was like The Juggernaut's. Out of all the superlative NBA players that have ever graced the hardwood, only Michael lived in the stratosphere. Kobe poked his head through the clouds consistently, though. Rest well, Black Mamba.
Of course. They talk about him like that now. DeMar Derozan once said after a playoff loss "The difference is they had LeBron." Let's not pretend like he's not great, and hasn't dominated.
When nique finishes his story by saying it was Jordan’s legendary night, I lost my shit. Think about that. He walks in to your locker room(say what?) then proceeds to tell them they’ll get bodied and by the end has them cheering mj on. That’s ownership that you’ll never see again!
Wow I didn't know that OJ Mayo story that's insane he basically didn't want the kid to look bad in front of the cameras and showed him who he was after the fact.
True i see the game --- and this disabled guy on a Wheelchair suddenly stands up with the crowd when MJ is open for a Dunk on the other side of the court---- no one blocks MJ.... The cripple man cried he remembered the feeling of standing....
MJ was really just in a league all of his own. The level of excitement he brought elevated the NBA to what you see it as today. All the players of that ERA did! Tough mentality then 👍
