A general manager in American sports is the person in charge of hiring coaching, drafting and facilitating the team like trades and signing players. Probably the most intense job in North American soorts. You get a lot of the credit. But you also get a lot of the blame when things go south

This is probably the most discussed sports documentary ever, it was released during the pandemic, when there was no live sports on, every sports talk show analyzed every episode like it was a finals game.

Tom Brady was pick number 199 in round 6 of the 2000 NFL Draft. He's the only guy who might beat Jordan out as the best player to not go #1 overall.

Michael Jordan is by far the greatest player who ever played in any team sport. There will never be a player like him and the people who saw him play know that.

12:48 that was actually a huge statement. Bobby Knight is one of the most legendary coaches of all time, he coached Jordan during the 1984 olympics before Michael became an NBA player and the fact that he said Michael Jordan was the greatest player he's ever seen play the game BEFORE before he ever even put on an NBA jersey is insane.

I'm a Chicagoan who hates the Chicago Bulls. This documentary heavily sums up why. MJ fooled everyone into thinking that the organization was competent. >The organization was founded in the 1960s. They haven't won a single champion (or even been to a finals) pre-or post-MJ. That is no coincidence. The organization was also struggling financially and was nearly 2/3 empty pre-MJ. They just finished missing the playoffs 3 straight years in a row before MJ joined the team. >MJ pops up. -As a rookie, he starts selling out the stadiums every game and turns them into playoff contenders. -He slowly works with the organization and coaches to turn them into champions. -It took 7 years before they finally reached the top of the mountain. Before that, MJ spend year after year getting scrutinized by the media for not turning the Bulls into champions, despite the lack of star talent on his team. >Finally, MJ beats all odds. -He 3 peats 2x. -Unlike most championship teams (which had stacked offense and great defense), the Bulls were a defensive oriented squad. -No one outside of MJ, were elite offensively. So, they had to rely on defense, ball movement, and Jordan's heroics to win. -They were also injury prone, and MJ had to continue to play entire seasons and heavy minutes to compensate for his teammates missing large stretches of games. >Even though MJ had to do more than other legends to win, the organization are the least appreciative of his leadership. -His teammates complain left and right about how they want "more spotlight" on their roles. -The general manager, Jerry Krause, literally breaks the team up because he's tired of "not getting enough credit" for their success. They're toxic, incompetent, and ungrateful. And it explains why they haven't won anything before or after MJ joined.

Missed the nba on the main channel on Sunday but worth it if it gives you guys more time for stuff like this 👌👌👌

12:49 RIP Bob Knight!

To answer your question about the greatest player to not be drafted 1st, the answer is Wayne Gretzky. He went undrafted because he played for a team in a different professional league called the WHA. The WHA then merged with the NHL and that’s how Gretzky came into the league.

The goat of not only basketball, but every sport and I don't care who disagrees. If you were around then and watching him play, you agree. When this dropped at the beginning of the pandemic it was appointment viewing, every single week. I have seen it maybe 10 times and it never gets old. There truly will never be another athlete like MJ. British guys trying to figure out distances between US cities/states is always funny. I live in a fairly small state and it's probably just a tad smaller than the UK 😂. We used to drive over 1k miles to Florida once a year. All in one shot. By the time you get there you feel like you've been run over lol.

Lol Rodman kicking that cameraman was such a big deal at the time

Jordan was considered by many to be the greatest player of all-time while he was still playing with the Bulls. Just because that commentator said "possibly the greatest ever" was just him leaving the door open for debate. But most people considered him the best ever. It's incredibly rare for a player to be called the greatest ever while he's still playing, but that's how Jordan was seen.

Jordan retired three times in his 1984-2003 career. He retired after the 1993 season because he wanted to play baseball to honor his father who had just been murdered. Jordan’s father loved baseball. Jordan came back to the Bulls in the 1995 playoffs where they would lose to the Orlando Magic. He retired again after the 1998 finals. He came back to the NBA in the 2002 season and played with the Washington Wizards for two seasons. He retired for the last and final time after the 2003 season.

GM is responsible for answering to the owner of course but he’s essentially the big dog who builds the team via drafting, trades negotiates contracts with players and their agents, the coach then has to take said team and make it work on the floor/ice what have you

You guys were cracking me up trying to figure out how far it is from North Carolina to Chicago. From the U of North Carolina to Chicago is around 1200 kilometers driving distance.😊 And, yes, North Carolina is in the East coast. I'm looking forward to more posts on your new channel.

i can't believe the youtube algo took 11 days to recommend this to me, since i follow the other channel

Dennis Rodman used to date Carmen Electra

Great first video 👍👍👍 one question can they be longer

Very pumped about the reaction channel ! I hope you consider watching the sopranos, it’ll give you a real look into the northeast of America while also being one of the greatest shows of all time

I lived a few minutes from the Bulls practice facility during the 90s and regularly saw Bulls players shopping or in restaurants. (Not MJ, unfortunately.) The Bulls were like rock stars. It was a decade of mania. This documentary was like getting into a time machine and reliving a great era.

Technically probably Gretzky as the NHL didn’t traditionally “draft him”.

Thanks for doing this guys! Will you also do this with quarterback?

MJ is the only man I have ever admired, loved and idolized. Ok also my dad lol.

GOAT

Bulls franchise started in 1966.

Great video as always but thought this would be on your sports channel thought it would be movies and tv shows

Regarding the draft, Michael Jordan probably is the best player that's not #1 but in terms of value relative to draft position, it's Tom Brady and in basketball it's Nikola Jokic

That lebron when it ages over time take ain’t gonna end well fam, you either know or you don’t, time ain’t changing 23 🐐, lebron longevity is impressive, but nothing was like 23 it was like thanos with the stones on the court everyone could team up wouldn’t matter, ask the monstars

You guys should watch “The U” and “The U Part 2” next!

yes michael shoulda bedn drafted #1 but tom brady was drafted #199 and he has 7 super bowl rings, just sone food for thought lol

Lebron will never be Jordan

Rodman has been linked to Carmen Electra and Madonna at various times

Bonds wasn’t drafted 1 Brady was 7th round Marino, Rice. Probably half of the greats were not 1 overall but 3 to late first round. Brees was second round and one of the best statistically

4:08 let’s just say, as a Chicagoan, we’re still rebuilding

12:19 That's easily Tom Brady for me personally. He was drafted at Round 6 Pick 199.

Tom Brady 199th in the 6th

1:43 1966

Phil Jackson won 11 championships as a coach, 6 titles as coach of the Bulls and 5 more with the Lakers.

Love the new Chanel if your doing docs would love to see believeland 30 for 30. About lebron bringing the first professional sports championship to Cleveland since 1964 in any sport including baseball, basketball, and football.

Kurt Warner didn't get drafted at all...won a Super Bowl, Super Bowl MVP, and the MVP of the league twice.

tom brady pick #199

The greatest player not drafted number 1 is Jordan but the greatest player ever by his awful draft position is without a doubt Tom Brady. Hell, some people might make an argument over Jordan and it would be a competitive debate.

Jordan "retired" straight after the 93 3peat season, played baseball but wasn't Bo Jackson

Greatest ever non #1 pick? Kind of a tough call across the major American sports....Jordan wasn't a first overall pick, but neither was Wayne Gretzky...hell, Tom Brady was picked 199th! Ken Griffey Jr was probably the greatest #1 pick in MLB history...but probably not the greatest player of all time

Not much has changed regarding Jordan's status. Pretty much since his first championship he's been considered the greatest. LeBron on the other hand I think will go in the opposite direction. Eventually once the influence wears off people will start to see he wasn't that great of a player. More of a celebrity than a champion.

LeBron will not be considered greater than Jordan because there will be others who will come after LeBron who will eclipse what LeBron has done. There will be no one who will eclipse what Jordan has done. Jordan took the NBA from a national league to a global game. He launched Nike to the global shoe brand it is now. He built one of the worst franchises in the NBA to the best franchise post the Bill Russell era Celtics. LeBron has never come close to any of that. LeBron is a great player, but his narrative has been largely media generated. The problem with that is that as soon as there is another great player, the media will change their narrative to accommodate that new player. There is a reason the narrative on MJ hasn't changed so many decades after his retirement.

Michael > LeBron Bird > Lebron

Tom Brady is easily the greatest pick ever. He was picked in the sixth round of the NFL draft 200 and something. It goes without saying he's the greatest American football player.

Certain sports you may be right Damo. But a blind monkey could have coached that team to at least the conference finals every year. Without Jordan, Pippen and Rodman that team goes nowhere and makes no money, no matter who is coaching them. Basketball is an extremely player driven sport. There are only 5 per team on the court at a time, their impact is magnified considerably from soccer/football etc. Even the great Phil Jackson didn't want to coach a team without at least 1 superstar. Because he knew they had no chance at winning.
