Grew up in Chicago. Lived there until I was 27, when I moved out to the Western Suburbs (about 25 minutes away, so still close). I was 10 when the Bulls Drafted him, and it was right at that time that I began playing organized Basketball for my Grade School, then Junior High and High School. It is impossible for me to accurately describe how much of a God he was (still is) to all of us kids in Chicago. That's not to say that the adults didn't love him, too! They most certainly did. However, just speaking as it was for me and my friends when we were kids... He was God. He was EVERYONE'S HERO! Legend doesn't doe it service. He is so much more than that. I was also fortunate enough to have seen him and the Bulls play LIVE, first at the "old barn", the Chicago Stadium (so loud, especially during Blackhawks games, and ANY Playoff game, Bulls or Hawks.), and then at tithe United Center (The House That Michael Built). I got to see him play Live around 70 - 80 times. A lot of that was between 1986 and 1991, the First Championship. 5 Playoff Games I was at, as well. NOTHING will ever surpass those Bulls Teams ever again. NOBODY will EVER even come close to being on MJ's level. He is the GOAT. THE. GOAT. PERIOD.

Losing record vs Isiah Thomas. Isaiah had a winning record over Bird and Magic too. Not for the phantom foul Isiah is a x3 Champion.

I mean, ok, but saying Thomas had the better record doesn't really tell the tale. Lets say you switched Jordan and Thomas. With Jordan, the pistons would have run the east for a decade. I can't imagine how effective Jordan would be if he was on the Pistons from 85-90. Concersely, Thomas, all time great though he is, does not win a ring with the Bulls. Him and Pippen would likely be perennial runners up in the East. Not a slight on Thomas, its just that he was surrounded by an excellently built team. While Jordan had nothing until he got Pippen, and once Pippen was Pippen, it was a wrap. Only reason anyone else got rings was Jordan took a brief rest. But the Michael Jordan averaging 37-8-8 on a team built like Detroit? Holy crap that would just be unfair.

It's hard to describe.

@@Will-fk2dk I was 9 when he was drafted in 84 and saw his entire career with the Bulls. I lived in New York but we had one of those 6 foot satellite dishes that got every channel back in the day. I only missed a hand full of games.

Love this

Hell yea

Respect 🫡

Yeah teams were too busy trying to dominate inside. They didn't just walk it up the floor and hurl a 3pt attempt they would've been benched so fast and probably lose playing time. It was bigs and defense ,inside out basketball, and when it was played well ,it was perfection

true. 3 point line was fully implemented 1986 in college, he was drafted to NBA 1984 --- technically, his college career developed everything aside from 3 pointer because they had none. and to rain it with 3 pointers DURING A FINALS GAME JUST TO PROVE A POINT IS AWESOME!! Killing you with what you deemed his weakness with the confidence to WIN

Nah, he was bad at it. And back then, everyone knew it. Now, everyone gives him the benefit of the doubt. But he wouldn't be good at it today either, rim height hasn't changed. Jordan also got to play with the 3 point line moved in and one year shot 50% from 3 because he only attempted 2. His 3 numbers are misleading.

@@Exposetheluciferianagenda there's just too many of em who never saw....like that guy👆. It's just too bad they didn't see it real time and have money against him They could make one of those "reaction videos " about it

I honestly remember MJ being a 3 point threat throughout his whole damn career. Never once did I think he wouldn't have a chance at draining a triple at ANY given moment. His penis was just THAT dark.

Barry Bonds had to be the most feared hitter we've ever seen or has ever played. Even in 1998 during the HR chase & before all of the crazy stuff, he was intentionally walked with the bases loaded. I had never seen that before.

He lost a lot of athleticism after his 10th yr

🤣

Yea as much as I hated him then as Bad Boy fan Hats off to 23 in Red Wow Those were the Days ill never forget!!

#33 Scottie Pippen is The of Championship ! Scottie Pippen is Better than jordan.

Exactly but people keep saying he had the flu, he didn't; he was poisoned (food), watch the Last Dance again

@@tanyaclemons9579 definitely poisoned....and still won. They probably mopped the floor with that pizza

​@tanyaclemons9579 but still the flu or food poisoning to still go out and put that many points when most people would have trouble even getting up from the bed let alone play speaks volumes

Broooo, MJ is and will forever be the GOAT!!! Do you realize he came out of college after his junior year, missed a season because of a broken ankle, missed 2 seasons cause of baseball......in other words add another 6 or 7 seasons to his stats and legacy!!! What NOW??? Jordan GOATTTTTTT

6 seasons averaging 30 points and defensive stats....how many more MVPs and Championships are we looking at.....his stats would be untouchable and let's NOT mention the Eras he played in and would've played in now where the league is offensive orientated

Don’t shy away and say “to you” he is the GOAT. Jordan IS THE GOAT. It’s no debate. He could do whatever he wanted even with multiple defenders. He did it at the time when going to the hoop would, could and did draw blood. No Lebronsy flopsies.

@@DanielGarcia-ir8oe i admire you my man!!!!! God damn right JORDAN is the goat, never seen him then go check ANY of his videos.....College, Olympics, NBA.....any one of them will leave you speechless!!!!

I'm not sure what you mean by 'team'. He won the games.

IN Boston, too. That fact absolutely adds to it.

That was a Jordan who had just come back from almost a year off with injury.

@@monolithgeometry3221 nah, he played the way Doug Collins wanted . That was his coaching style give the ball to MJ . But I agree ultimately it didn’t help the bulls win . It was Tex and Phil who knew how to coach to win , or course they had pippen and good role players by then too.

@@Chevy-hw6lw the bulls roster was trash tho they wasn’t even relevant until he got there

Seriously? Whatre u smoking? They guarded shit outa the rest of the team. Celtics even said nah we knew he aint gonna win on his own. They didnt waste time. Look at the intro clip. Larry bird ALL over him finally he gets a jumper off. Celtics could lock him down when they had to. Which wasnt often. What was his record against bird? 6-0 in the finals. Yeah. Chaaaampionship material.

I am a huge MJ fan. Bo Jackson is the greatest athlete I have ever seen. Herschel Walker, Deion Sanders are awesome too!

I’d have to respectfully say Tom Brady. Trust me a huuuuge MJ fan but 7 Super Bowl rings. The nfl is a difficult difficult game

@@SVTJD Leadership is not athleticism. One is a physical attribute, the other a mental attribute (Larry Bird was an awesome leader, Danny Ainge an athlete, three sport all American in high school). Reggie White was 6 foot 6 inches, 300 pounds and could run a 4.6 40 yard dash, pure "athlete". Reggie probably could outrun both Ainge and Bird, yet they had more rings( Tom Brady too). Bo Jackson was a freak of nature. Pure athleticism.

Agree, MJ had more of a worldwide impact than anyone else mentioned in this thread , NFL does not require as much of an individual effort as basketball or intense and Tom Brady was nowhere near as explosive or intense as MJ

If I could be like Mike

Down by 1, with 5 seconds left on the clock, who do you want taking the shot. Bird or MJ?

Imagine if jordan played garbage time for stats?

Actually, I can't imagine MJ doing that. He cared less about stats and more about doing whatever it took to win games. He didn't want to team up with other great players, he wanted to beat and humiliate them.

Word ✌🏾

@@Fernando-vg4ym That is the difference right there Fernando & it is all about mentality, and even when teams like Boston or Detroit would beat up on the Bulls, they would make changes, such as ( bulk up ) in order to play tougher against their competition & in todays game, now everybody wants to build Super Teams, and there aren’t even anymore great rivals out there. I don’t know what todays NBA even stands for 🤷🏾‍♂️ & yet they get paid way more money 😳

@@davidvickers8425 Yup he played only 3qtrs for a lot of games during his career.Thats how dominant he was.If he stat padded he would've had over 40k pts easily

Ewing should've have known better. Outside of Dream, there was no big man fast enough or athletic enough to guard MJ ever that I can remember.

Cmon Jordan was from a running jump and Pat on a standing jump, of course MJ (that however was a better jumper) was favourite. Also Ewing had bad knees. Pat did his job and that time goes in that way. Ewing blocked Jordan several times....

Definitely in the air.. best ever show of hanging EVER.. next is dr j behind the backboard..

even the Denver bench reacted like "holy shit, I can't believe what I just saw!"

Wasn't that against the Nets? ukposts.info/have/v-deo/sGR-imx5r4iY0ps.html

@@NorseAtheist Not sure. I didn't see the game. Team colors change so much these days I could never be sure. Don't make no muphukin sense.

Against the NJ Nets

Bruh wtf this is too damn funny!! 😂😂😂😂🙌🏽🙌🏽

Wtf dude! Got my coffee out my nose! 🤣🤣🤣

OMG

Oakley and Jordan were team-mates before Chicago Organization traded him,Mike was not happy about that trade because Oakley at times backed M.J. when he thought M.J. was fouled too hard. M.J. was showing respect to Oakley by telling him "I got you" ,RESPECT to a former team-mate.🏀💣💥
