The Day Michael Jordan Ruthlessly DESTROYED Ray Allen in Front of His OWN Coach - Full STORY! 

NickSmithTV: The Legend Continues. Thank you once again for ANOTHER professional level video. You’re hard work is appreciated! 🍻🍻

I've never heard a single player being interviewed, who played against Mike, say that he was okay, or good, or even very good. It was always..."He's on a level all by himself", or "He's untouchable", etc.

I was in middle school and high school when Jordan was winning his last 3 titles. I watched almost every single game on TV during those 3 seasons on that Chicago News channel WGN. I can tell you that it was rare watching a Jordan game where he DIDN'T roast his competition. That's why there are so many youtube videos of "Jordan Roasts this guy or that". He literally destroyed everyone, every game.

"Dont be mad at Ray, coach. He's doing everything he's supposed to" - Mike w 45 pts

You know when Rodman gotta hold you back, it’s about to be real.😂😂😂😂

That mid range fade away was unstoppable! I miss those days of the NBA

@7:23 Ray makes a great point, nowadays you go to the charity stripe for 'Ticky Tack stuff', back then those hits / fouls were ignored hence why it felt like watching a completely different (and better) style of basketball.

Michael has a beautiful shot, but his fadeaway is the prettiest thing in sports.

Michael Air Jordan Is ALWAYS, STILL & FOR EVER THE G.O.A.T. ! A Fan From France 🇨🇵

When MJ went to the movie theater and saw He got Game and took it personal 😂😂😂

Nobody is or will be better than Jordan, so grateful to have grown up in the 90s

I remember seeing the Big Dog do a shoot around at Roosevelt highschool in Gary where he is from and he missed no shots and had a super confident swagger. For him to say that about MJ puts in perspective the respect MJ had.

The reason MJ is the GOAT is that he could do whatever he wanted on the court and the majority of defenders were helpless to do anything about it. MJ's game was the most graceful I've ever seen, if you watch highlights of his career watch how he landed. He was like a cat, he always stuck the landing. Which is a very rare talent.

MJ's peers who knew him, knew that talking trash and making him feel inferior is the switch for him to turn psycho. If Marshawn Lynch can turn BEAST Mode : ON MJ has PSYCHO Mode : ON

I think this series will do a nice job of condensing what those of us who saw it happen at the time into something that people who haven't can understand in relation to todays game. He was unique. And he's the GOAT.

The 90s (and 80s, footage not aired): Back when basketball was basketball. The memories. 💯

I bought a Glenn Robinson rookie card in KY back in 1994, and I still have it to this day. He was awesome coming out of Purdue and his mid-range game was money.

I watched the Bulls on WGN. And I’m from Arkansas. I still gets chills when I think about the lights going out and that Alan Parsons Project music playing when the Bulls were being announced. Michael Jordan is THE GOAT and I can’t believe that LeBron tried to claim that title for himself. You don’t declare yourself THE GOAT as it is a title that can only be bestowed upon you. And it has been bestowed…to Michael Jordan. I don’t think anyone else will ever come close. Anyway, I miss those days tremendously. Michael Jordan and The Bulls were a huge part of making a 5’3” white girl want to be practicing or playing the game of basketball at all times when I wasn’t watching it. I’m thankful for growing up during the era of Michael Jordan.

what a beautiful game MJ has it's like poetry and savagery combined

those black bulls unis were so dope 🔥

Just to be clear a young Ray Allen was shooting lights out, would get a steal and go dunk on your best player in his prime seasons with the bucks.

The part people keep missing about #45 Jordan. No training camp, came in after the All Star break and was still dishing out work.

What people don’t consider about Jordan is that he wasn’t dominating a game by pulling up and draining 3 after 3. He’d kill you with his footwork, and mid range, and then occasionally blow past you for a dunk. He’d consistently drop 45-50 points in the most difficult way, as opposed to 13 3s and 11 FTs.

You can’t block MJ’s fadeaway effectively or consistently. Not to mention he’s got an entire arsenal of tricks up his sleeve. And none of that is possible without MJ’s mental toughness. Toughness in clutch situations. Toughness in practice.

MJ was special. Regular season games would end up being amazing battles on the court and Michael would never disappoint.

Jordan will always be the GOAT

Man, if Dennis Rodman has to stop you from attacking someone 😳

That rusty #45 game… Jordan shot 11/29 but was 4/4 from the three point line. One of the strangest stats I ever saw from him. If you ever saw Jordan live before he retired the first time, you were blessed.

That crossover at 6:24 was life altering 😳

During the time MJ played, the rules were different. He channeled his game accordingly. That makes him different. The will power, determination, separated him from everyone else 👏

However many years after hes retired, a 10 part series documentary, and theres still more stories that ive never heard lmao

LeBron James can never get revenge on the team like this and players damn sure don't fear him 🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️

When MJ read the article on Glenn Robinson that day, he took it personal 😂😂😂😂

This series is GOATED. Even though I lived through most of his career, I can't get enough of MJ stories.

I cut my teeth on Bird and Magic in the collegiate NCAA finals. I watched Artis Gilmore (a completely under-respected big man) struggle with a completely bush-league squad in the late 70-'s and early 80's. I was an absolutely huge Lakers fan because of Kareen, COOP! and Jamaal Wilkes (whose bent elbow shooting style I tried to duplicate for years). And then Michael strolled into my home town. What can I say, it was like the 1985 Bears, but for 13 years. After 1991, it was like Walter Payton (MJ) had everything around him, a REAL team, not for one season, but time after time. To this day, I cry watching videos of Walter and MJ, for the latter because he is the GOAT and for the former because with the talent he deserved around him in his peak, he would have been the GOAT. And let's be clear, for better or worse (I do not want to support the leagues and the level of damage the players suffered), in both the NFL and NBA, offenses are allowed by the rules to abuse the game, and defensive aggression (which of course involves a much higher degree of contact and VIOLENCE) is aggressively penalized. MJ played with 1) hand checking, 2) excessive contact rarely being called, 3) travelling was real (oh please, mf, shut up, everyone gets 3-4 steps to the bucket now, it was considered insane to get TWO from 1990-2003), just as in the NFL you had "They Call Me Assassin", very late hits, head targeting, stickum (look it up, kids), and so on. So, the point is not "Let's bring back the level of violence of the 80's and 90's." My favorite Chicago Bears players DIED horrible, painful deaths from their injuries. DO NOT BRING IT BACK. But don't pretend that you can compare racking up MJs averages (considered per game, for his position in the league, surviving those years of constant physical VIOLENCE that ) with LeBron, who didn't have to deal with ANY that, especially after 2003. Or even Kareem, who arguably had an environment even worse than Jordan in some ways (hard to say who was more physical, the Celtics or the Bad Boys Pistons).

Glenn Robinson had the sweetest jumpshot, loved seeing him play for the Bucks back in the day.

8:05 Watching MJ palming the ball mid-air while being prepared to fight you is the scariest thing

He’s right can’t nobody be in that room with MJ & Kobe (RIP)

I love how he said "You know who had to eat most of those buckets?"..... Ray

Gonna be watching every one of these 23 videos this month!!

Worthy idea for content. 23 stories in 23 days is worth subscribing 👍

Thank you for giving us these videos. @Nick Smith NBA it's appreciated !

Its amaizing this series. Thanks brother

It tells you something, when a player of a caliber, like Ray Allen, tells you that MJ would average 45 today. He averaged 30+ every season when hand check was allowed. These days he'd average 30 only from FT. Not to add that he'd surely still sunk, do mid shots and add to his 3 points attempts. Kids today, that only watched NBA from 2010, don't understand the mentality of the greatest player that ever stepped on the basketball court. He'd do anything to win. Only Kobe can be mentioned in same sentence as MJ, because he had that same mentality. R.I.P. Kobe.

Nick with another very entertaining post....I love it!

I've finally caught up on the 23 in 23. You did a great job. We appreciate and the hard work and effort putting these videos together. Thank You and keep up the good work. 💯💪🏾👑✊🏾

loved the video and how you edited it all together! MJ is my fav!

Glen Robinson was legit. That Milwaukee team was no joke eish Sam, Glen, Ray and them boyz.

I liked the last play where Rodman stopped him. It was like he was saying, "Stop Michael, that's my job. I will handle it. Don't worry."

At 7:20, Ray Allen admitted a fact that many don't like to hear or admit. The NBA is a different game now than it used to be, guys average most of their points from free throws. This makes it so that they are being allowed to just go freely to the basket, or freely shoot wide open shots for fear of foul trouble from an opposing team. Because they call foul on everything nowadays, why do we think "flopping" is a thing. The new rules on what a flagrant and flagrant 2 foul is, is just sad. The fact that the players averaged the points they did in the 80-90s is highly commendable, and those numbers would almost double if they had the current NBA rules. As amazing as 40-50ft 3-pointers are, tomahawk dunks every other possession, and some cool cross-overs with hesitations and step backs; it is actually proving that maybe, just maybe the game is become a little soft. No need to be a 2-way player anymore, just try to dazzle with offense, maybe a "chase down block or two" for the highlight reel, win-lose-or draw. Who cares if you win if you got the highlight reel, right. Different age and era unfortunately. Everyone wants to shoot the pill, yet most don't want to put in work stopping the other team.

I really enjoyed this video!!! Great stuff!!!

Love it Nick! Keep it up!

Jordan was sooo great at playing 🏀. He made me proud to say . I lived in Chicago and we have #23. But it was 63 piece he put on bird/ mchale/ Parrish/ Johnson. That made me and bird realize. Mike is on a whole nother level. That’s why he’s the 🐐. 🛑 this senseless debating.

I like the last clip. Rodman being the calm person and keeping Jordan from punching that guy😂

I have just checked notice was not on were really looking forward to seeing more thanks for sharing your insight

Great stories talking about the Goat. Awesome job.

It’s funny that Rodman had to hold Jordan back from getting into a Fight or an Argument 😂

Facts: Jordan and Kobe by themselves in that room.

I love the humility shown. It says a lot about a person, especially an elite athlete.

Keep it up man! Love it

Robinson was so Fucking good it’s insane how ahead of his time his game was and more people should bring him up bc he’s basically a blue print for guys like Paul pierce. I’m also kinda a mega fan bc I’ve been using him and ray allen in nba showtime since that game came out for ps1 (basically 3d knockoff nba jam that was at the arcade and on PlayStation lol)

Man, watching the bulls play with MJ back in da day was like a ppv Mike Tyson fight event like every game. You didn’t want to miss it. You wanted to witness what great move he’d do next!

Love the videos 👏🏿

Excellent videos. Thank you.

Poor ray 😢 mj was the best mixture of pure athleticism and fundamentals the game has ever seen

There's an amazing lesson to take from this for any athlete. MJ was the best, but he didn't practice, he wasn't in shape. It's not only about talent. You got to work work work work work. Even he couldn't just come in and play great and win. This is to all the young ones out there thinking that talent is the most important thing.

Excellent production

Enjoyed hearing Ray Allen discuss the differences in the eras. And he should know, playing in both.

Ever since Jordan hit the shot while playing for Dean,we knew he was just scratching the surface.

MJ was machine his effort in his training is untouched/unmatched✌🏽

Great job

Nice job 👏🏽

Robinson was no joke. That cat could play. On offense his bite was as rabid as Cujo's.

Here’s why Jordan would average 50 if he played in todays game. 1) The players today would not have him as an influence to their games. So Kobe would t exist, Iverson, D-Rose, and on and on. The game would be 10 years behind where it is today. 2) Jordan would still be Jordan. 3) All the modern rules would set the GOAT loose on a league full of lesser players. He would be unstoppable.

Great video sir! So much nostalgia in here. I was a senior in high school in 96, I remember these days well. MJ = GOAT, hands down

I subscribed. Great video!!

Jordan and Kobe are in a room by themselves and the lights are turned on. And in the other room is about 20 others with LeBron shining the brightest. And that's just how it is.

"The more times I played, the more times that my appetite got wet." It's *whet* and it's a verb.

That was Fire 🔥🔥🔥

Great content

Jordan the goat btw

Getting rich off crypto is much tougher than it seems. I keep losing money while trading with these RU-vid videos, and finding a trustworthy professional trader to help out with these trades also appears to be nearly impossible. This is extremely annoying

Many are called, few are chosen but there is only ONE! Remember that folks!

For show he said it it's Michael and Kobe they by themselves in a category Legends 👑

Jesus Loves you and wants you to accept him as your Lord and saviour

The foot work of those players was excellent. 😮

I love your energy sir. You’re modest and humble but cool and raw. Thanks for being a genuine person. Being genuine is rare now days. Jordan is Jordan but content creators are not you sir. Good day.

These r some of the if not thee best mj vids I've seen,, well done man

Fucking absolutely right Q. MJ and Kobe 🙏🏾 sitting in a room by themselves

I just bought Ray Allen's Air Jordan 11 "2 rings" PE in red and gold for 20 bucks at the value village last year and they are still clean.

Man i never get tired of these stories

GREAT VIDEO!

Great POV from Ray. We always argue the eras and this and that, but the perspective from someone who actually played in both eras is 👍

Awesome content

Rodman holding MJ back was so unintentionally funny

Great video. Actually forgot how good Glen Robinson was for a minute. Subbed.

great video

Love the content NickSmithNBA. It's crazy how I've seen the majority of MJ videos but not these. Other youtubers recycle the same ol same out of being lazy for quick views. I always knew that there were decades of content about superstar players. Thanks for not being one of those lazy RU-vid who actually go search for the decades of content out there to cycle through. Hopefully we can get a 24 days of kobe 🙏 since the anniversary of his death is coming up in a month from now. Crazy how it's been almost 3 years that fast.

Wow that's amazing

MJ is the goat. We all know that. I had the chance to play against GR aka Big Dawg in the NCAA tourney and man, he was so special..impossible to guard. Respect Big Dawg
