@@ahmedfarid8721 Funny thing is on the court Jordan and Pippen were seen as the good guy meanwhile Zeke gave back so much to the community. Helping out kids and such Chris and a lot of the kids in Detroit met Zeke as kids
@ahmed farid no, Jordan has respect for his game, not the person. Isaiah Thomas was a snake but aftwr retirement he tries to change his reputation and plays the victim. Don't forget his comment about Magic after he retired because of HIV and he was suppose toxbe one of magucs best friends, or the Larry Bird comment abiut him being regular if he wasn't white, orbshutting out MJ in the allstar game because he was jealous of Michael being his hometown hero instead of him. Let's not forget the Jordan rules.
C Webb is loving the show when Zeke is there, the respect and admiration is just amazing. Also Smitty and Grant have their Detroit stuff. A must see for a Detroit basketball fan. The city had a lot of greats.
That must be an almost proud moment for Isiah , knowing how he affected a young person at the time and to see what he became and then a peer and after all those years Steve Smith said you taught me that around the 12:45 mark. Same thing for Domnique to hear that Steve wore 21 because of him & Chris Webber idolized him as well.
Webber's signature was posting up far away on the left side. The guards would cut under the hoop and he would do a behind the back wrap around pass. The other teams couldn't stop it because they never saw it coming.
Eurostep is a signature move that's so cool to do in casual walking. When the lane is blocked because in front are two or more people as if they're walking on a park or feeling models on a catwalk, I put that quick Eurostep so to passed by them. Thank you for sharing. And great episode. Any audience can see and appreciate how huge a difference is when there's no Kenny Smith.
@@roboninja3194 Can you imagine MJ sitting around trying to brag about his glory days? I can’t. I figure he knows you know the number of rings, you’ve seen the highlights, you see the logo, and now you see the new MVP trophy. He also knows he beat all these cats. When you’re the real GOAT, OTHER PEOPLE do the talking for you.
An open court episode about the big men now and focus on Giannis, Embiid and the Joker and comparing them to each other comparing them to other bigs in the NBA now and before will be a great one ..
@@mvoulgaropoulos your just thinking way too hard those dudes love Ernie I mean the man almost died from cancer and chuck was so happy Ernie still showed up to his hall of fame announcement
I was thinking about how funny it is that Jordan would never be sitting in a situation like this, waxing nostalgic. He doesn’t have to relive the glory days. His six rings say it all. His highlights and his brand keep him relevant as well.
I remember the first time seeing the Jordan jump lol Our coach, played it for us lol One day. We were doing something, like coming up with a strategy or something, and he played the whole thing. The shot on Ehlo, the bucket, and the jump lol I remember he was like man look how high he jumped lol That was iconic.
Love this episode three moves that i love that weren't mentioned are, Duncan bank shot from the elbow, Lebron chase down block, and Shaq backdown spin dunk
Cowens ran Jabbar ragged in the 74 finals which Boston won. The key to stopping the skyhook was to disrupt his rhythm and/or balance, and but not enough guys did that. You weren't gonna stop it over the top. Also coming up behind him on the double team would have been very effective because he needed a lot of space to get that thing off, like a jumbo jet requires more runway space than smaller planes.
Sky Hook! Walking pigeon toed into parties is hilarious. Good lord. These guys roast each other hard! Isiah still talking shit at 57 like he’s 18! Gotta love this. Don’t forget Andre Miller. Tough guy to defend.
I had a comment feud on RU-vid about when Jordan got crossed by Iverson. My point was it wasn't seen in the league really and that's why it worked on Jordan. They were saying Jordan was old and that's why it worked. You decide.
The skyhook was unguardable for normal players. A way past his prime Wilt Chamberlain blocked it twice in 2 seconds.. Also...Wilt had finger rolls, and mid-range fade aways...
@@Top-Kek I'm not a Wilt stan or fan of any man besides my father. I posted what I posted because I saw Wilt block the shot 3 times in 1 game. You fans of other men are hilarious to me, jumping to baseless assumptions to defend a man when no defense is needed.
Uh, you’re missing a name on the finger roll chart there Marc…Cornelius “Connie” Hawkins. Even Ice Man said Hawk was an inspiration for his finger roll.
Didn't need to be blocked. The skyhook had 3 major requirements: a lot of room for him to sweep that thing up and around (although he did a good job of keeping it as compact as possible), and a greater dependence on balance, and rhythm. So the way to stop him was to disrupt his balance and/or his rhythm or have help behind him to poke the ball away as he brought it up to shoot. But guys didn't defend him that way, they just basically boxed him out in case he missed. Dave Cowens had good success against him by running him ragged as he did in the '74 finals which Boston won.
@@jamespenny9482 Kareem HIMSELF specified Nate Thurmond as the toughest defender he ever faced - because Nate would force Kareem out of his "comfort zone" with the SkyHook or even his Jump Hook consistently, AND had the length and jumping ability to block Kareem if Kareem got sloppy on his shots. Sadly - like Kareem - Nate had seasons he played in where blocks were not counted, and is WAY lower on the all-time list than he should be as a result. Even an OLDER Nate was a good shot blocker - there's a reason he recorded the first "official" Quad Double in the very first season that blocks WERE counted. IMO there's a very real possibility that Nate should be as high as #3 on the all time list (behind Wilt and Bill) with Kareem DEFINITELY ahead of Hakeem in the Top 5.
@@jamespenny9482 Shaq was stopped for 2-3 quarters one game by RODMAN. He relied too much on his size and mass, and not on his skills. Probably the most dominant center of his era, but he didn't have a LOT of competition for most of that era. Old Hakeem could argue the point against young Shaq, and I seem to recall David and Tim being able to do well against him.
I LOVE this topic...but I CANNOT enjoy this episode for the simple fact that the main host is Matt instead of EJ. Honestly....Matt is really, reeeeeeeally bad at doing this job. Sooo bad, it's distracting.
There was a guy who played back in the 80's and 90's, I think his name was Michael or something like that, he had some REALLY good moves. He was super quick to the basket and could drive through, past, and around 2 or 3 guys and dunk it. Then when he got a little older he had this unstoppable fade away. I wish I could remember his last name....darn. I guess these guys forgot his name too.
Nonsense. It's 100% natural to kick the right leg out when shooting over the right shoulder, it's amazing how it works and helps with balance. Jordan did it. The NBA is STUPID to call that an offensive foul, but then the NBA is stupid about a lot of things.
@@ddave7026 when he was old as fuck dude lol only legit one id say is blake. johnson fouled him and the Vince one wasn't a dirk fade away and again he was near 40! still unstoppable move in his prime
