11 rebounds, 9 assists, and 19 points in TWELVE minutes? For a college player to lead a team of college kids against NBA All-Star players (Magic, Bird, Isaiah Thomas, etc) and win all 8 games is CRAZY.

Also, this isn't to bring up the GOAT debate - But I've heard a lot of people say that nobody has ever had higher expectations and pressure coming into the NBA than Lebron. However, LBJ was a good high school player. MJ won a NCAA championship, beat the NBA All Stars 8-0, and won an Olympic gold medal. Now let's talk about some expectations and pressure coming into the NBA.

6 and 0. MJ was and still is the G.O.A.T.🐐 period.

You do understand that there has NEVER really been a question, right??? It's on film!!! MJ is the G.O.A.T!!!!! Did you notice he never complained about the bad boy pistons??? MJ was a warrior!!!

6-0...Great reaction, man!

Thugged it out!! Goat👊

88: scoring champion, dunk contest title, All-Stars Game MVP, MVP, DPOY.

Still holds the record for most points in a Playoff game. 63

Development and Growth is part of why kids stayed in college. It was typical to stay at least 3 years to ensure a well rounded game going into the pros. In other situations the rules have not always allowed kids to go straight to the pros out of high school or even after one year. Those rules also had to deal with trying to make sure kids were mature enough to be pros, from handling money to being responsible enough to handle all the requirements of being a professional outside of actual basketball. It's why the league looked so much older back in the day, dudes were already 21, 22 years old when entering the league as opposed to 18, 19. Moses Malone got in during one of those times they allowed early entry. Kobe, KG, Jermaine O'Neil all got in during relaxed rules. Mike was still a question mark after 2 years. After 3, they knew it was time.

GOAT

In the first part of his career until 1996, he had a "low" salary and practically earned 10 times more from advertising. Only from 1996 did he have a salary that for a long time remained a record: 30 million.

There are only four players in the history of the NBA who won the scoring title, MVP, Finals MVP, made it to 1st team all-defense and lead the playoffs in scoring. These players are MJ, MJ, MJ and MJ. That says it all.

"why they spend so many years in college?"...To get an actual education. And more fondamentals on basketball.

MJ showed a relentless attitude for winning, and he had an attitude that carried the city of Chicago as he showed the league he can make clutch game winners, clutch free throws, and creative shots that defied the human mind…not many players can say they dunked on Dr.J, Kareem, Bird, Magic,Olajuwon, Mutombo, Ewing, Mourning, Malone, and Kobe…MJ can.🎤🔥✌️👽

MJ 🐐!

Goat

37 pts a game with no resting is insane 😮

Goat!!!!

Goat 🐐

They didn't had to go to College, but the league was way tougher than today back then. They would have rosted a kid like that, torn them apart and thrown the pieces into the stands.

6 and O! Still here. 😂

MJ = 🐐

3041 points in a single season, and he only hit 12 3-pointers!!! They said MJ could not shot the 3-pointer, well. he did not NEED the 3-pointer!!!

GOAT 🐐 👊

he is the one 👆

You cannot compare today's playoffs or regular season PPG with 3 pts and lack of defense with that era. The best proof that there is actually no defense in today's NBA is to compare the average number of points this season with the one in the NBA finals when they made a special effort in defense to win the title. The result: in most cases, the losing team did not exceed 100 points.

MJ is the only player to make the free throw line dunk while dribbling the ball all the way to his take off point…Dr. J carried the ball while taking it to the basket…both were great dunkers and legends of the game!

GOAT Jordan, many duplicates but only 1 MJ..

6-0!!! The undisputed G.O.A.T.!!!!!

Ncaa added the 3pt lin in 86... Jordan never played with a 3pt line until he reached the nba...this is why he, and many others, didn't shoot them much Edit...I did just look it up...there was some conferences with a line prior to 86...86 was the year every college had one....and I saw that the ACC did have a line as close as 17ft at one point but couldn't find when that started so that could be a 3pt line but I'll let someone old enough to remember first hand to confirm

Dominic Wilkins did a windmill almost every dunk lol

Bro I'm from Boston and was watching that series and I say the same as you if he had a good team they would of beat us facts

Fam Mike and the bulls put smoke on them Detroit pistons. Now you heard Isaiah say that he was the best basketball player he ever seen. That’s because Detroit beat them two years in a row, but once Mike and them got over the hump on the documentary you watching now Isaiah started hating on him, he always say that you know that he was better than that, that’s why him and Mike fell out. Isaiah was very jealous, and Mike was shitting on some real ball players out there.

And 88 was the last time I think they had amateurs in the Olympics

GOAT,its almost 3 AM time to 😴

i went to high school with joe vincent he makes the best documentaries

6 and 0 😂😂😂

Todays NBA is just missing something especially on Defense the players show a “lackluster” or lack of Competitive spirit because your not willing to go all out or do whatever it takes to win & I Get young people get tired of hearing all the “yesteryear” talk & the “OLD HEADs” tired of how they’ve evolved so much…… But ask yourselves if we’re talking about the Elite of the Elite athletes of the world 🌎 combined with the fact human evolution doesn’t change much in a 10-20yr span ask yourself how much more evolved would you need to be if You inherently aren’t willing to do everything I’m willing to, like I’m the willing to die out here in order to win u gonna need more than a 20yr EVO & that just goes for the Basic NBA player in General the average NBA player has evolved YES! But their isn’t a Single player in the game that can say they’re just a more evolved athlete than JORDAN

6 and 0 😂😂

The only way Larry, or Isiah, or whoever could beat Jordan was when Jordan was on a garbage lottery Bulls with no help. So they could focus their entire defensive scheme on solely stopping Jordan. The Team USA Jordan was on in 1984 was actually pretty good.. it had Patrick Ewing, Chris Mullen, Alvin Robertson, etc.

Oh and btw, 6-0 🐐

🐐 🐐🐐🐐23

Young buck, bill lanbear could just redicks dad. That’s how much they are alike. Both think they are better than everyone else and Isaiah Thomas follow behind that white man like a puppet and that’s exactly why he didn’t make the dream team. God don’t like people to act ugly man. He was not on the team, but everybody else was him was boys Isaiah magic used to kiss on the cheek before each game before they played each other. You gotta go back and watch some new games man the whole games Lakers, Philly, Chicago, Detroit, Boston, Orlando Magic back win Jake into his career type stuff look up Dr. Jay tapes

45:28 - I don't think it's cause they're lazy.. I feel like a lot players today are just insecure and afraid of criticism.. they're afraid of losing and being made fun of.. it's the same with defense as well, they're afraid to challenge dunks and be on posters so often times they just move out of the way without even attempting to contest.

Every time Lebron misses a shot or gets the ball stolen he cry’s for a foul. Jordan would just get back on defense

I do love how nobody bats an eye for Houston taking Hakeem #1 and passing up on MJ though. However, Portland 100% fumbled in passing up on him.

The reason I always pick Mj and Kobe over lebron is that those 2 never needed to create a super team with all stars and look where it got him still fewer championships and more losses than Mj and Kobe I think it’s because Lebron isn’t a 2 way player anymore or as a joke the monstars took Lebron talent. Joking aside. The best players went to college to better themselves and they actually listened to their coach what would Lebron be like if he listened to his coaches plus those that don’t go to college their egos go through the roof I think that lebron would be a 2 way player still if he went to college because he would not care about stats because in my eyes someone who cares more about stats then winning championships will always be 21 or lower on my top 20

With today's defense in the NBA, someone will score over 63 points. MJ did it while being hand checked, elbowed, pushed, etc. Today's NBA all but escorts players to the basket! Chicago Bull's fan since the start (1966-67), born and raised in Chi-town, but I no longer watch the NBA.

if i rember you couldnt declare before two or three years in collage

6-0

You are hilarious. Lol 6-0

LeBron sucks he only has one stupid looking dunk no skills he doesn't want to be embarrassed

6 n 0

Thank you for noticing that Jordan and team USA did actually defeat Larry Bird and the NBA All-Star team before Jordan ever stepped onto an NBA court. And that's no disrespect on Larry Legend. It just gets tiresome hearing over and over how MJ didn't beat Larry in the playoffs... when we all know Larry and his team of Hall of Fame players against Jordan and "The traveling cocaine circus" was a foregone conclusion from jump.

See, Scottie pippen wasn’t the key, as long as u give MJ good role players, MJ will win. If MJ like what Lebron did went to New York team up with Ewing he will dominating the entire 80s and 90s.
