NBA Legends Explain Michael Jordan and his strenghs and weaknesses 

MJ is the Michael Jordan of all Michael Jordans

Jordan was lefty when he want it, He got so many highlights scoring with is left hand

MJ shot a FT left handed with eyes closed. His post ups depended on the defense. He played every square each of the bb court! G.O.A.T

One thing that was understood about MJ was if ever the media or a player had criticism on his game he would address it on the court. Usually in resounding fashion.

Michael Jordan had no weaknesses. He's the best all-around player I have ever seen.

"Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen." - Michael Jeffrey Jordan

Kenny Smith: "His weaknesses that he had, at the end of his career was his strengths." TikTokers: "He can not go left" 🤣🤣🤣

M.J. All Day, Still to this Day!!!!!!!

When they say MJ didn’t have a left is because he didn’t take 20 dribbles back and forth. He was efficient and when he went left, he did it with minimal dribbles.

I was at the Boston garden for the infamous 63 point playoff game by Jordan and I saw PED James play in 2007 against Bryant at staples center It’s like night and day. Jordan is head and shoulders above James. I have seen it with my own eyes!

Jordan was an innovator for big guards and small forwards with his dribbling style. Truly brought the new school style of play to the NBA. Jordan's left was or going Left was insane to many highlights with his Left hand.

You’re the GOAT if after decades you’re still the topic of every conversation.

Mike a bad man after all these years he still got control of the sports world

Jordan definitely had a left.

Anything to throw shade on the goat 🐐

Think about this. Teams knew every weakness Jordan had. They implemented rules etc. drive him to the left. Be physical whatever. So they knew supposedly how to stop him. Yet 6-0 in the finals. And the all time ppg average ALL TIME that includes Wilt and his 50 ppg season. Think about it. Finally Jordan did what he had to with whatever players the Bulls drafted traded for etc. Bron has been handpicking his teammates since he jumped to Miami and how many times has he won? It's night and day people.

And for the records, I gotta say, THANKS Mr Sean davis for all the good vidéos you putting everytime 👍💪 80's 90's NBA was Special and magic

The GOAT 🐐

In the words of Kenny Smith Jordan is the only player where his weaknesses became his strengths

mj was all dunks, bad shooting percentage... he made mid range, back to the basket, fadeaway his signature move. he had no range, he made sure to show in portland how he couldn't miss 3pt fgs and a potent shooter behind the rainbow from then on. he had no left, we witnessed how he finally avenged against the pistons in versatility. watch that series and u'll see how many times he was unstoppable even on left. and that pistons team has never been the same, bringing that bitterness til these days. mjs failures are what made him succeed. his weaknesses became his strength. this is how his legacy was made. it was never given, he earned it. i am a witness.

Funny how they say he had no left, but for some reason NOBODY in the world could stop him. Clearly he had both hands, it's a stupid argument.

One of the best shows on the web!!

MJALLDAY

I didn't watch the video I only read the intro picture. It has Kenny Smith saying Jordan had no left hand. He was referring to Jordan when he was in college not the NBA. I saw the interview. I also am old enough and I lived it. Jordan had a left hand. It's common sense

Jordan GOAT no weakness in his game

Flawless no caption needed.Goat

I hope you don't mind if I hit the like button BEFORE I watch the video.

I still say that Bird, Magic, and Jordan are the best players ever (I don't care what order you want to put those in). Jordan had that killer instinct that I think Bird and Magic pounded into him the first six years of his career. When it was his time, he didn't want to be known as the next Magic, or Bird, or anything. He wanted to be known as the best. Any time any of those three were on the court, you knew you not only had a chance, but that you had a probability of winning.

Big props for Chris Latner for def putting up big facts a lot people forget Jordan def put mad pressure on a lot of peoples. Plus mad steals and and blocks he def put in work and he box people in with his squad, dude was all around beast

You have to remember Sean that if a former player says something context is key. Bill Laimbeer and Isiah Thomas would rather say Lebron is the GOAT because they're the bad boy Pistons. When Kenny Smith says that Michael don't have a left hand game it was true during his times as a Tar Heel but Kenny said that MJ is the most fundamentally sound in terms of both offense and defense and his athletic gifts was the icing on the cake. I'm glad that even though Christian Laettner was a Dukie, he noticed that MJ had the total package.

Love your work bro, keep on doing what you do. I feel like Jamal Mashburn's interview was cut short though. The best part was when he talked about MJ's words to him about his game, analyzing it and how to change it up.

Love your nostalgic old skool NBA content man. Keep up the good work! What is your "White Whale" video or topic? Something you've always wanted to cover but never found the right angle or enough footage.

#Mike wowed and thrilled me so much the Lord let me live 71 yrs to tell you about it😮

Being old enough to watch games, and play basketball for half my life. It NEVER crossed my mind that MJ hsd issues with his handles. People forget how efficient MJ was.

Those kids haven’t seen Jordan Famous Switch Hands lay up from Right to Left against Lakers in 1991 finals. #real23 🐐

MJ is the 🐐GOAT. 🇰🇪

Great episode - got me a bit emotional 🎉

Jordan will always be the best

as a fan of MJ thru the late 80s and until his retirement from bulls. in this last few years, MJ able to modified his games to stay relevant as age catch up. More post up, mid range shooting and less dunks. His post up moves was beautiful. he is goat imo. i am bless to be able to watch him live on TV and follow all his championship as a teenager.

And this is why mj is the 🐐 😊

He was on 🔥 i was lucky to see the late 80s 90s 2000s and even now an the person who had that killer instinct stare him win or lose was RIP Kobe... MJ made his stamp an left his mark in the NBA

MJ was not only the GOAT 🐐 but he was fundamentally sound. If he had a weakness, it would be he was not great facilitator because he was not asked to be. I believe if he was asked to be, he could because he wanted to be the best in area of his game.

The other story Jamal Marshburn told on JJ Reddick podcast was very interesting as well. He said MJ could breakdown his game analytically, what his weakness and tendency were, then came up with a solution. And MJ did that to all other All Star Game players.

I love the "Jordan couldnt go left" narrative. So in other words, you knew which way he was going, and you still couldn't stop him? That's why he's the 🐐

he can't handle the rock but scored 50+???how the hell did that happen?he can't go left but averages 30+???WTF,how did he do that???haha,ppl say ridiculous things just to destroy MJ's legacy,but guess what,Micheal Jordan is and forever will be the GOAT.

His Airness!!!!

Just look up "Michael Jordan: The Greatest Off Hand Finisher Ever" right here on RU-vid, posted in 2017 👍🏼

All these years later & MJ ('The GOAT') is still in everybody's head....😎

Funny how they keep saying Jordan had no left ..but LeBron has no heart!!?

One of his most famous highlights is from the finals against the Lakers is him switching midair to the left hand.

Mike's dribble - no waste.

Not only did Jordan have a dominant left hand... his left hand is the single-most important reason that he was the greatest player of all time. You couldn't over play him to either side. If you tried to shade him in either direction, it was game over. This was the most important difference between him and Kobe.

Jordan is so GREAT he didn’t need a left hand!!!

Isaiah talking about MJs 1 weakness, while we could go on about Isaiah's many weaknesses. Laimbeer too.

I don’t even understand why they ask a Detroit piston

🐐

This debate will never be over. The funny thing is though, it's going to be another person being compared to Jordan again. No one will EVER say...this person is the next Bron.

The only person Laimbeer hates more than Jordan is Bird who returns the favor.

MJ, Wilt, Kareem, Lebron, Magic, Bird

Mike in an interview 100yrs ago was asked "What is it that drives you with such passion to not let up? To not lose? You take every loss personal even if you personally had a high scoring triple double night"? Mike said "I went out for the high school team like the rest of my homies, I thought I gave a good accounting of myself. The day of final cuts announcement, we ran to the bulletin board and I was so hurt to not see my name on the sheet. Of course, after a week or so went by comes the bragging & taunts of some of the dudes that made the team to me and others. After all it is N.C. if you don't make the basketball or football team you can't get no woman, at least ones of cheerleader caliber and dudes had no problem reminding me and other guys of that fact. That's the time I vowed I will never accept losing as an option"😉😎 All I can say is, the taunting must've been relentless for it to keep that fire and passion stoked for all those years. 👊🏾👍🏾😎

MJ didn't have any weaknesses, he could finish with either hand, he scored rebounded assisted, and was all world defensively. He lead the league in scoring multiple ties and cranked that up in the playoffs. Add that to desire, competitiveness he had a killer instinct, high energy game of intensity and he never efffing turned it off!!!

If he didn't have one, he still averaged 30 per season. Did he need one?

TRUE

MJ had a few weaknesses, but only once.

That’s true…MJ was so good that he looks like had 2 right hands during the game

MJ was unstoppable with his right hand and merely great with his left hand. 😂

That hezzy rocker step he did at Carolina I always tried to imitate. @4:30

Yes he is

MJ is still the GOAT.

Thankya! You ought mirror that rant that aries spears had about a week ago.

Christian brought up the truth. Best two way players ever. MJ, KOBE, Name a scorer and defender as good. Ill wait.

When I think about Bill Laimbeer having a winning record against Jordan... man that's sweet.

And STILL the goat (IMO) with no left hand

still the GOAT

someone literally explained that MJ indeed had a left hand

Bobby Knight threw around compliments like sewer caps.. and said. MJ was the best Basketball player he ever saw.. and this comment was before MJ was even a Chicago Bull..

He’s the goat, without a left hand. Imagine if he had a left hand.

Bill LAMEbeer deserves ZERO airtime.

Harold Miner was a god dang problem... For a SEASON...

'It's so many haters in this world we're in' Bill Laimbeer is one of em...WTH is he talkin about

I just clicked on. The right to left Jordan Layup on the Lakers in the Finals is what made me master my left hand. It is the most iconic layup in HISTORY IMO. NO LEFT? Ill watch the video now, but what??? Mj was great with both hands. Could go either way. Dunk off two, left, right, and sideways. I don't think people realize he could do angles better than anyone ever besides Kobe, and I will throw in waste of talent Kyrie. Man Kyrie pull your head out your ass and help Luka. I see multiple chips with the new squad.

If he was all Right he Avg 37 pts a game one year 😊😊😊

Laimbeet said Jordan wasn't a willing passer when dude averaged 5.9 assists as a rookie and he wasn't even the point guard. Steph Curry is a point guard and his career average is 6.4assists per game, Jordan averaged 5.3 in his entire career.

Them older guys than Jordan some damn haters 😂 Jordan weaknesses? Please Wilt like 80 years old played in a less competitive league with way less teams and Bill Russel ? Stop it...Mike would have dunked on both of them every game. Mike may not be the best human but his game spoke for itself ....no flopping, no cheating, no bitching, just fair hooping....GOAT! Period

The bottom line is, from someone who watched damn near the last 50 years of basketball, Jordan did NOT have a weakness EVEN before he peaked. To an entire highlight generation of kids who can't even watch a whole game from being on a damn phone, you all will sadly never know unless you're intellectually honest and do your homework. The guy was better than you can imagine. It truly wasn't fair. And to think, that was against the greatest era in league history 😳

What is crazy is I always imagine MJ's highlights with himgoing left.

I think we should say he greatest shooting guard of all time. Comparing Jordan to a center. Is like comparing 🍎 Apples and orange.🍊

Kenny and his kickstand legs are jelly 🤦🏻🏴‍☠️mCzr🏁

Without even starting the video yet: “And yet he kicked all those legends’ ASSES!!!!!!!” The all literally have the tread of an Air Jordan Shoe IMPRINTED ON EACH OF THEIR ASSES!!!!

"Jordan has no left hand" is a meme, don't fall for it guys lol

Had no left?! Tell that that to Craig Ehlo. 😂

Bro im a filipino MJ never come to philippines but filipino's favorite nba all time player is MJ

LaFlop. BWWWWHAHAHAHAHAHA

“Send him left”, says Isiah, ignoring the 30, 40, 50 pt games he gave him. Must’ve forgotten that 61 pointer, too. Laimbeer forgets that Jordan did work to get his teammates billed when he first got into the league. Convenient amnesia.

And ironically he needed that left hand to fit all his rings

I think he proved he didn’t need a left….

They say he had no left so what I'm hearing is he could beat everyone with one hand behind his back.

No question Jordan was the best player of all time.

Yeah, Mike's handles were weak in college. What separates him from anyone else is he worked on weaknesses and made them strengths. Just like his jump shot.

He didn’t have a left, all I’m hearing is he could’ve been even better, to find flaws/improvements into MJ’s game, is mind blowing.
