The Story Behind Michael Jordan's Wizards 

Like u said he was Air Jordan until his injury, and he still played 10 more games injured before he shut it down for the season, so that lowered his averages. Before that, I think it was only him and Kobe who were averaging 25-5-5 during that season

And a knee injury is just running into his own teammate, man what it could’ve been

@Ilija Nedeljkovic because bron would join every super team

@Ilija Nedeljkovic remember the lakers without AD? Bron cant carry the lakers lol

@@maryjoyvequizo6361 nobody can carry a team without at least another good player. Jordan kept losing in the first round before Pippen came to help him.

@@NikoNekoa but jordan still made it to the playoffs without pippen. But bron? Fake injury OMG haha

@@maryjoyvequizo6361 Bron also made the playoffs without a star player bruhhhhhhhh

Played all 82 games smh MJ built different

Kawai Load-Management woulda sat out most.

Im pretty sure his last game in the league was against the sixers

@@emmanuelmarquez7318 yes, it was. But I was living in AZ at the time, and I was referring to his last visit to Phoenix

lucky guy

How old were you then?

@@millionfish I was 30, and before that I saw him played one other time in 97 vs the Blazers

Builds it up even more for me. He was 40 years old averaging 20 in the nba!!! And he was smoking cigars drinking whiskey on the regular imagine he had today’s nutrition and ate some avacados

Because of recency bias the NBA media do it to all stars like bron Kobe when they not winning they cracking jokes

@@cgpxae2119 lmao why avocados?

@@astashasta1 stereotypical “healthy” food

He looked human his last 2 years in chicago and was still the best player in the league lol

Scottie Petty Pippen the most overrated player of all time

@@scarykurapika100yago2 i mean his talent was often overshadowed by Michaels but he was a key piece for their championships and be was beasting during the season where Michael took a break.

@@mouradsaleh2477 Ofcourse every championship team has a keypiece on their team other than the superstars.. And yeah he beasted in the 94 season but did he even won shit? NO lol.. people say MJ never won before Pippen came but MJ in the 80s was tearing the league apart.. he just had a shitty Bulls team.. Pippen wouldn't even be known if he didn't play with MJ.. Dominique, Grant Hill were both better than him.

@@scarykurapika100yago2 part of his greatness was his defensive ability. And I guess the bulls was just a perfect fit for him but that doesnt chance the fact that be was amazing on his own I wouldnt call him overated

PREACH.

nah. Lebron is the GOAT. But Mj is a top 10 player though. Somewhere around 8

​@@jrsmith1998you need to find your soul.

Couldn’t have said it better - Very few HOF player transition to successful GM or coaches due to a mix of lack of experience and ego

We are finally good

@ Sports is dictated by winning and GM Jordan had more desire reliving his days out as a player than to learn the front office, hiring the right personnel, developing players and turn the franchise into contending status. You pulling the race card and white-man-so-bad narrative just shows how idiotic you sound

@@canadianchungus701 jordan is the goat,but he sucks as an owner ,I think he has never won a playoff series in Charlotte,

Him and Kobe were the only ones averaging 25-5-5 before he tore his meniscus

@billblaski9523 right?! MJ had 16 years on kobe. Just thinking about playing now in my late 30s makes my knees hurt 😅

Jordan was getting better and more efficient before his knee injury. Before his injury, he led the team in scoring, assists, and steals, averaging 25 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 steals per game. In his last 20 games up to the injury he averaged: 27.5 - 6.4 - 5.2 - 1.3 - 0.5 on 44% In his last 10 games up to the injury he averaged: 29.7 - 6.6 - 6.1 - 1.2 - 0.3 on 47% Almost 30 per game in a season where an average TEAM scored only 95. For comparison, in 2024 teams averaged 114 per game. In Jordan’s 46 games before knee injury the Wiz had a 26-20 (0.565 win%) record.. (again, this is a team that only won 19 games the season before) In games without MJ and post-injury, the Wizards had a 11-25 (0.300 win%) record. This is also despite the absence of Rip Hamilton for about a month during Jordan’s 26-20 stretch. In the last 16 games that Rip and Jordan played together prior to Jordan’s knee collision, the Wizards went 15-1, and they won 13 straight games when both of them played together. People act like the Wizard years were so horrible, yet never actually look closer for context.

And 3 year lay off

Either way, he is still a top 10 all time great. I have him at #7

@@jrsmith1998 you have Michael Jordan at #7?

@@tashrif46 6 at best.

1) 🐐 James 2) Wilt Chamb 3) Kobe 4) Bird 5) Kareem 6) Magic 7) Air Jordan

@@jrsmith1998 Okay.

do you rember him in 1998?

Dassa fact

Yeah i think it was Isiah Thomas who convinced Vince to give up his starting stop even if MJ did not want it.

Vince sucked in that game only 7 points and Mike 20 points

& mlb players ⚾️

There relevant regardless of losing , winning or lebron Look how much they talking bout westbrook

You can put Lebrick in that same type of line up and he would probably trade including the owner

You really call that man black Jesus smfh 🤦

Is bron prime longer ? Because to me he just finds ways to prolong it because he knows the league is changing but he still wants the cake so bad till the point he tries to make it easier for himself but due to circumstances he has to work harder 😂 jordan got bored left and cameback 2 times he knew he was so good he can just leave and pick up where he left off 😭💯 lebron rn would never do that because he knows his window is closing so he has to make the best of it

Having incredible longevity never made anyone the goat, that's why MJ has been considered the goat over Kareem. Who is my #2.

@@retrosoul8770 Dummy

No need to sugar coat trash, you could have just easily said that Letrash is not even in the same stratosphere as Jordan.

lmbo. Yeah. It builds a more solid case in favor of Lebron

@@jrsmith1998 nah not at all bro the era thing matters everything now is iso ball and 3s so not sure what you talking about MJ never had 3 but never really need good 3 point shot bro was just to much even at 40 lets get that straight only thing i can say is LBJ won title as old as he is but the body conditioning was so different back then too even when MJ join the Wizards not sure how people can say that just stop riding LBJ nuts just admit MJ was whole different Monster

@@jrsmith1998 There is NO CASE for LeBron especially when he CHOKES after forming a superteam in his best years. Lol.

@@jrsmith1998 makes Letrash more of an abomination compared to the greatest ever.

@@jrsmith1998 Lol 😂 LBJ in Miami: not one, not two, not three, not four, not five…. Oh my bad he only has 4 🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽 with all that talent in Miami only won twice 🧐🧐🧐

Facts

🤣 nah he was the legit gm

dysfunctional like the charlotte hornets

Top 10,r u on crack?

Exactly

🤣🤣 being obsessed with another man isn't good for you

Because he’s better thann bron

Lmao they don't because they the same ones that wearing Jordan's on their feet haha

@@Ejr82u i Dont own a pair of Jordan's and i dont like MJ

@@Dontresssmith3757 lol ok😉

I don't think they hate MJ, they know how great Mike was, but Lebron is their GOAT and that's fine. MJ fans immediately dismiss them, and come up with 50 reasons why LBJ is not the goat some legit and some bulls**t. But when an old timer says their GOAT is Kareem, Bill or Wilt MJ fans say I give you that old man I never saw Kareem, Bill or Wilt in their prime. It's generational everyone thinks theirs is the best. I think MJ is the best, but if someone else thinks it's LBJ I have not issue with that, LeBron is f**king great and if you don't think so you have not been watching.

Lemme guess thar was a shot a the king 🤴 🤔

@@Kyspliff it's a shot at anyone who does it.

Lmao easy way? So it's only right when the team chooses the talent. 👍🏾
