The Time Michael Jordan Ruthlessly DESTROYED The 'Jordan Stopper' Gerald Wilkins - Full STORY! 

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

Lol you beat me to this comment I do the same.

Same here :) Great work

@@Comedyvibes AMEN!!!!!!!!!!! THE BEST COMMENT OF THE POST!!!

Even Joe Dumars said it’s a total team effort to stop Jordan the Jordan rules were basically all eyes are on MJ. Even at that he still averaged around 27-30.

Lmao! That's what i say when they say that smaller players guard MJ. I am like, it doesnt matter who guards him. Smaller might be even more effective as they can match MJ's quickness. The taller they get, the slower they become. And for a 6'6. MJ is quick for his size.

MJ individually dominanted in the 80s and 90s...Wizard MJ at 38-40 yrs old was capable of 30, 40 and 50 point games in the Kobe, Shaq, Iverson, Carter and Tmac era...in his prime MJ was the perfect balance of skill...experience and athleticism....definitely unstoppable in any era ...no comparison...period

Gerald Wilkins was a great player

Too true. Plenty have tried and it was beautiful to watch growing up.

Right

90s were different times. The best NBA era. No soft BS like today.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

True and that is unbelievable! 😆

really? damn 😂😂😂😂

🤔🤣😂🤣😂🤣well damn...

Best Comment EVER!! Thanks i needed that.

Gerald Wilkins was a garbage defender

Sometimes you just gotta listen to your bigger, brother or you younger brother when he makes sense keep your ego out of the way or else you’ll get swept

Proves how good Jordan is, you literally had to watch what you say to him. No one wanted to beat Jordan at his best "so you have no excuses" as the kids say

At least Gerald was a much more better defender than his big brother.

Yeah he couldn't stop him 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂he was his stopper . I remember playing the game makeing my opponents mad 😡 as hell cus I kept doing the same play . Come on man why you keep doing the same play CUS YOU CANT STOP 🛑 IT LOOK STOP CRYING 😢😭AND STOP IT AND I'LL STOP 🛑 IT😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂NOW START PLAYING AND LET'S G0 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

Your so right…watching The Bulls had you on the edge of your seat the entire game! Whenever Jordan had the ball you knew he was going to do something special…Literally every time!

I watched every game cause I always felt id miss something if I didn't watch. I was such a huge fan. I grew up there too so in the playoffs friends would have parties for every game. Was a lot of fun. I went to a few playoff games also. Quick story: 97 Finals game 6 a friend was having a party for it, a good friend. So i left the house around 5 pm and went there. I was 19 and still living at home. My father comes home from work at 5-5:15pm everyday. So I just missed him. When I came home at like 5 am cause they won the title and city was partying so I was out all night, I see 2 ticket stubs on the kitchen counter. My father had gotten 2 tickets and planned to take me. But because I wasn't home he took my brother. Of course I was happy they went and got to experience it but damn was I also mad as hell that I left the house early that day. That game 6 was the Steve Kerr shot game. A person usually doesn't have many chances to go to a game where their hometown teams wins the title. Sadly I missed my chance and probably won't have another in my lifetime 😢🤷‍♂

@@roboninja3194 DAMN! 😢

I grew up in the area (Downers Grove) and I wasn’t even a basketball fan! I was a wrestler and it was an unwritten rule that wrestlers don’t like basketball 🤣 When Jordan showed up I couldn’t help but notice, and damn if he didn’t turn me into a fan!

I completely agree. No one comes close

The Mark Price Cavs were a really good team.

💯✔️

LBJ has better defense and rebounding, also won titles in two conferences for 3 teams, also all time leading scorer, also won a ring in a game 7 on the road against the best regular season team of all time, idk man times change, Jordan ain't the best just because he's Jordan, gotta give credit when it's due!

@@toddshaw9441 LBJ has better defense? Based onnnnn? The fact MJ won a DPoY the same year he recorded 200 steals and 100 blocks in the same season which happened only 1 time before in NBA history, the year prior when he did it the first time. Or is it that MJ has 9 first team all defense in 15 seasons vs Lebron’s 5 in 20? And did you know? In the game of basketball, positioning actually effects certain stats. So a forward plays closer to the rim and is naturally going to get more rebounds than a guard. You know how I know? Bc MJ ranks #1 among shooting guards all time in defensive per game rebounds while Lebron ranks 3rd among small forwards. But when position doesn’t matter, aka on offense, MJ ranks eighth all time among shooting guards while I couldn’t find Lebron’s ranking bc he’s not even in the top 50. As a matter of fact, as of Sept 2023, Michael Jordan has more career offensive rebounds than Lebron despite having played 350 less games. So Lebron activists really need to actually do their research before they start making assumptions about things and making accusations that project the exact very thing they are doing. I almost forgot, Lebron’s defense was the reason Golden State was even in that Game 7. Despite Lebron’s triple double, he had 5 turnovers and his man scored 32pts shooting 78% while he scored 27pts shooting 38% from the field. Meanwhile Kyrie outplayed and outscored the reigning MVP AND was the one who broke the scoring drought and sealed the game. And if you want to act like winning a ring in two conferences is more difficult than winning two 3peats only the Lord himself can help you at this point

Oh yes he knew exactly where his camera was, looked directly at it and also said, (clears throat) "He can't guard me."

Wayne Gretzky. Barry Sandera. Bo Jackson. Jerry Rice. Dieon Sanders . Ricky Henderson. Bird Magic MJ. That era is amazing!!!

Appreciate that!!

@@NickSmithNBA agreed! I don't want it to end either. I experienced this entire era of basketball. The Golden Era

Sometimes, he'd even beat three men (dunk on Ewing etc). lol

Oh no...stop😂🤣😂🤣(falls over laughing)

My friend Dave was the epitome of a basketball assassin as he actually would kill you, when you played him. Jordan is the ultimate winner.

​@@element-dh9dx TF are you talking any kid?

Appreciate it!

@@NickSmithNBA - Nice work NICK , many oppositions/players hated him with passion but also he wasnt the most likeable person in his own locker room.. Why?

Mitch Richmond too

@@reilym979 also got to give vashawn Leonard some credit because even though Jordan lit him up he still at least tried to make it tough on Jordan...

@@bryantnonya8704 vashawn is easily destroyed by jordan only small guards that played him tough were Dumars and Starks

haha... I am burnt out!! That'd be impossible.

@@NickSmithNBA make some shit up like everyone else ffs

You forget about kobe😂

​@@jeremyhendricks9748Well MJ Was Kobe's Blueprint

kobe was more skilled, not a better player@@jeremyhendricks9748

Well said and I agree

Such a great observation

Yup

That alone makes him The true GOAT. Giving respect to other players.

Jordan Pre-Game: "Jordan stopper, eh? And I took offense to that. It was all I needed." Jordan Mid-Game: "This b'tch can't guard me. Bench his azz." Jordan Post-Game: "He guarded me pretty good." Lmaooo

99% of his stats are from 13 seasons, to be fair.

Also played three years of college ball Jordan just killed my Terps with the infamous double clutch cuff dunk

MJ just play to win and not for stats if he is bored to play he just stop!

🤣😂🤣😂 they still wake up in a cold sweat

Uh huh. There were rivalry games, playoff games, finals games, "revenge" games all mixed in. I'll mention when these casuals and haters do reactions to Jordan's RU-vid library, they'll always say about the switch hands layup against LA in the finals that it was "unnecessary" or "he coulda dunked that". Even if they deemed it unnecessary, which it wasn't because if you know MJ, he's thinking ahead. He said he "saw long armed Sam Perkins there" and thought Sam would attempt to block it but he never did. Jordan was so instinctive that he switched hands to avoid Sam. It's not like watching Jordan games or highlights that he wasn't doing that stuff all the time so I never understood the hate on that move. Plus these fools have no idea or they forgot that the layup was Jordan's 13th consecutive fg made...in the finals. Not some regular season game against the Kings in February. Who was/is doing this shit besides Mike?!?!

Just watching highlights of him just doesn't tell the whole story. You had to see him in real time to fully appreciate his greatness

He had a very lengthy career. Even was on Knicks. So he got ALL of Mike's smoke. 🤣

Gerald was a very good player ..

Gerald Wilkins had his best years as a Knick, I remember because as a Knick fan we all knew we had the wrong Wilkins, but he did ok for about 5 years he was starting SG for the Knicks.

@@fred5nyc in 1989 I remember hoping Gerald could have stepped it up to superstar level like his brother...he had games when he seemed unstoppable and looked very much like MJ flying above the rim. Imagine if Dominique was a Knick also...MJ would have troubles with that double team

@@timstappler5522 Gerald played about 5 season as the Knicks starting SG, one season he average 19ppg. which was his best, but Dominique was on another level, that's why me and my buddies would always say we have the wrong Wilkins.

Great way to describe it!

he also holds the record of having the highest lay up❤

What happened to BJ ?

@@kasheem1747 BJ Armstrong???

@@crharper25 yeah what happened to BJ who’s gonna do a story on him he has rings too

@@crharper25 I wanna bring back those memories with you as I’m dressed as Santa and you’re on my lap again.

They were more than games. They were events

Debatable. When Grant left and MJ returned, Bulls lost to the Magic cause they had no one who could rebound nor shut down both Grant and Shaq. Potentially could've been same outcome. Ppl say Rust, but dude came back like he never left. But! Thank god baseball had that lockout. If it wasn't for that, MJ wasn't returning.

That part!!

1991 is what I've settled on as APEX Jordan. But you make a compelling point about 93. I'd never thought about it like this before, but his accommodating to the injured wrist does add an interesting element to his game. The adjustment to his game sort of draws out from his play a VERY unique and beautiful aesthetic. The footage in this video, in light of your comment, really is very eye popping. for me Jordan is the best not because of stats or rings, that's all secondary if not irrelevant: for me, he's the best purely for aesthetic considerations. I enjoy watching his missed shots as much as his makes. Anyway, interesting perspective. I've watched more MJ highlights over the years than I frankly care to admit... but your take on this is something I'd never considered. Turns out YT comments aren't always a wasteland! Heh. Cool. Have a good one...

Classic

Glad you enjoyed it

@@NickSmithNBA many thanks for taking time to make these, enjoying every single one....I mean it's poetry imo artistry, great effort on your part for true lovers of the game no doubt

Lol

Whatever you do, don't make it personal for MJ.

Yeah, but no one ever "held" him. He either did his thing, or he didn't. The defender was inconsequential.

​@@jasondyrkacz8270🤔HA! Everything was taken personal by MJ that's what makes these stories of him so insane🤣😂🤣🤣🤣

Very glad!

Glad you like them! It should be fixed now!

Glad you enjoyed Tanya!

haha!!! Don't be too hard on her, happy holidays!

Don't forget creativity

@@Dennis-bu9gr 100% bro

Jordan's the GOAT..Kobe the only other player who has those qualities you listed in my opinion

That part! Gerald Wilkins was an excellent defender.

And slowing Mike down still meant a 35 point night haha.

@@thegrandpencil4374 on poor shooting tho

@@hairjordan2620 You win games based on points scored, though. So it doesn't really matter. Besides, no one ever slowed him down. He either had it that night, or he didn't. The defender was inconsequential.

@@thegrandpencil4374 great team defense has definitely slowed down Jordan for a game here and there, for example perhaps his worst shooting night of the playoffs 9/35 vs. the Heat in '97

Thank you! Cheers!

Got it! It should be fixed now!
