Yep 🤜🏻🤛🏻

thats what Paul Pierce said about MJ back then. That he is better than the 90% of the players. He made a mistake. He was still the best. He just didnt have help from others. Should he had a Scottie Pippen along side, they would have dominated the 2000 too

good talk !!

This guy gets it

At the age of 40 look how he was double team when he got the ball in perimeter

Hallelujah jambalaya i take back what i said about younger nba fans...not all are complete morons just some are complete morons. The latter should be here anytime now.

Right on the money baby !!! 100% 👍👍👍

The wizard told him if he played for the wizards to build up hype around the team they would let him have minority owner ship , then they reneged. That's how I remembered it

@@Dennis-bu9gr Not only that but they removed him of his previous managerial/administrative position. He later commented that if he knew they would drop him once he stopped playing, he would not have returned.

Jordan came back because he had an insatiable appetite for playing basketball at the highest level, full stop. His play with Wizards from 01-03 clearly shows that the Bulls could have won another chip or two 98-00 if Krause hadn't been such a bitter, small-minded loser.

Couldn't have been said any better!

PREACH!

Bravo👏

100

Absolutely

I’d take MJ at this age over any nba player today

He’s actually playing against hood defenders too unlike today

Sugar ray Robinson and LeBron James too

sai maurice Lebron James is absolutly not in the JORDAN 's level

wistiti93420 he honestly is. He isn't as good, but he is the closest thing in the sport of basketball. He is better than jordan at rebounds and assists but Jordan is better at scoring and defense. You sre in denial if you think LeBron isn't close to jordan

sai maurice HE IS NOT .....you're talkin about assists and rebounds ....in volume yes but wait his career end to talk about statistics ;) trust me he is not at MJs level specialy in FINALS ....jordan is in another univers at this point and i dont talkin about "fame" .....Jordan is like coca cola or disney every body knows his name around the world for James its clearly not the case.

wistiti93420 that is because james is underrated. He has incredible stats in every category. Did you not see when had 40 points 10 boards and i think 11 assists in the finals? the man is the closest thing to Jordan. end of discussion.

​@@solarpanel8195 lol wtf...I don't necessarily disagree with you, but do you really need to say this on a sports highlight video?

@@FrancoDFernando what better place to say it to reach those who need to see it most

@@solarpanel8195 You can argue that they wouldn't be receptive to being lectured to when they're just trying to enjoy a highlight reel

Exactly! Sometimes I just don't get these people and their blind hatred on him. After all, MJ is national icon in international level and they have to put him down with whatever lame reason they can think of. They even have nerve to compare MJ's first retirement to LBJ's teaming up in Heat as a way of saying they should both be crucified for disloyalty. I can feel so much hatred and bias in these old hard heads and young irrational brains. They have to put him down with whatever reasons or means necessary, including his personal life to belittle his game and accomplishments like you mentioned. It's as if MJ never really worked hard enough to prove himself for his own hype and accomplishments or everything was bogus in a brainwashed hype and was handed to him. Whether there is much truth in that or not, I still trust my own eye test. I watched with passion as he proved every night that there was no one equal to him in mental prowess as well as in physical gifts that set him apart miles from other greats. His best weapon was not his physical gifts but the unparalled mental drive to be flawless in everything in the game of basketball so he can be the ultimate winner. He proved every naysayers wrong by improving his game endlessly and beating the odds all those years. And what do we hear from these fellows now? They are either haters or jeolous of him being considered the greatest over their own hyped up player. What more does he have to prove in order to be fairly considered the greatest in their eyes then? Even if he didn't retire the first two times and win more rings, I doubt these people will put him over their own idol, saying he was lucky, competition was bad, the league was watered down, and etc.

Jay Kyung Chung exactly! MJ, is smart, wise and tough.

Drew Filson - The only folks who belittle the GOAT are yappers who like to incite riots. Dont fall for it

I think you either get Jordan or you don't, it's like common sense, some can't get there. Or maybe they haven't watched much, I mean you have to understand some of them just want Lebron to be the best because it's a generation thing. I listen to the players who played in that era, they were there.

There wasn't nothing overrated about Jordan. Only people who calls him overrated are LeBron lovers. And LeBron the most overrated athlete I've ever seen

Jordan draft 1984..GOAT..GOD

Uvuvwevwevwe Onyetenyevwe Ugwemubwem Ossas i agree

Uvuvwevwevwe Onyetenyevwe Ugwemubwem Ossas best comment ever

Uvuvwevwevwe Onyetenyevwe Ugwemubwem Ossas That’s Major Facts Bro!

@osman osmani Kareem was on his way out, he wasn't in his prime. Even still, it's not usually a story you hear about much of a rivalry between a guard and a centre.... just a moment or two when Jordan dunked it in his face or when Kareem blocked the shit out of him... it would probably just be a similar story as Dikembe Mutumbo stating Jordan would never be able to dunk on him.

you really don't know about wilt chamberlain...or bill russell do you..

without steroids and with injured knees..hes the goat

Jordan was aiming for nothing less than a championship at the Wizards. That's the kind of guy he is. He had the Wizards on a roll before he got injured, who knows what could have happened.

True but make no mistake he was still the ultimate competitor, he obviously had nothing left to prove at this point, but he always wanted to win, although was clearly having a bit more fun with playing the game than before.

Exactly, 40 year old contesting with younger ones. He just had a passion for playing.. selfless passion I wud call it

That's MJ for you, I studied every move, I remember days of playing MJ in my head at the court alone and it paid off, I just wasn't in the right mindset to grab the greatness, it haunts me till this very day but my son is looking good

@@son_of_guns Never gets boring watching Jordan. You've got the blue prints of MJ...just need to adjust it to suite your son's game. All the best for the both of you 👍🏾😎

Most players aging 38 years or older end up averaging 10 points or lower.

Besides Knee injury got Him. Prior to injury He Was averaging 27 to 29 Points and the Wizards had a Strong chance getting to the play offs

@@weynnerguillen9533 damn basically all MJ needed was to not get hurt and have a better team around him and he would had another possible run for a chip?

@@Mr.PR2000 Im writing a paper on this and I need your opinion. Im genuinely curious as to WHY Human beings in this society give more attention and support to Entertainers than we do to our Teachers trying to teach us things to make us smarter, or people in hospitals working to keep people healthy? Why do people in society give SO much attention /love/support to ball players/musicians instead of Teachers/Doctors/Social workers helping kids etc? Im really interested in this. Makes no sense to me because I never was really into sports and never really watched them.

@@solarpanel8195 if you are not into sports then you won’t understand

FuzzyFruits Yes, in Basketball sense in the NBA He's basically old during his Washington Wizards years & He still outperformed majority of the League

+Adam Anderson - that just shows you how skillful and great he is as a baller. Fundamentals and basic know how beats athleticism all the time. but with Jordan he has all of that plus an unmatched mindset every freaking game.

I disagree. MJ had great teammates. For example 1991 NBA Finals, Scottie Pippen and John Paxson dominated as much as MJ did. Plus, if we're talking about dominance. I believe you should look at player efficiency. LeBron's PER is much greater than MJ. I think what you should say is MJ is mentally tougher than LeBron and wants to win mroe than LeBron does. LeBron overall is a better athlete than MJ without question. Also, MJ is unanimously way more clutch than LeBron.

mrteportelloubaga FOR FUCKS SAKE!!

mrteportelloubaga Jordan obviously had good teammates, especially Pippen, but Michael was consistently the leader and driving force of the Bulls' success and no other player on that team dominated night in and night out the way that Jordan did (MJ was Finals MVP every year the Bulls won the championship). Everyone on that team including Scottie knew where the ball had to go when the game was on the line, just like Wade knew to get the ball to James when it mattered. As far as athleticism, they are both phenomenal, but also different athletes. Clearly, LeBron is stronger and more powerful than MJ ever was, but he also plays in a softer, less physical era, and while its arguable that LeBron is faster in a straight line, Jordan was on another level when you factor in everything else. Jordan definitely had a higher vertical (48") of the two (LeBron's is closer to 40", maybe 42") and its been said that Michael had the greatest hang time of any athlete (he wasn't called "Air" Jordan for nothing), but MJ was also more agile than LeBron, in that he had better body control, maneuverability, ability to stop on a dime and change directions, and sheer quickness (LBJ's first step is slow compared with MJ's).

hoopfan71.... MJ's vertical was more along the lines of 44". Charles Barlkley was 42" and so was Spud Webb. Also, Jordan had great balance and body control in the air as he could take hits and still maintain safe landings.

kcire10 10 MJ's vertical jump was 46 LBJ 42 wilt has the highest at 48 but wilt was 7 ft 1 so technically MJ has the highest with his height at 6 6

Not to mention the fakes

Everrrrr...🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

he injured his knees and old while not playing for three years...but he still have good average ..hes the goat

That whole YR the other players constantly showed him love...and other teams areana....cuz they knew who the best ta ever done it....

Dnt speak afain...besides who is yhis? Hes decent....20-21 ppg....aolid NBA player....but the real MJ retired after that awesome shot against utah

+Mike B Well said!!

Late, but accurate. %100

@MUFC So wat? i dont careeeee

I remembered that. Lol. Right. Lebron couldn't wear Heat 23 cause it was retired for MJ.😂🤣😂😂😂. Thats just gold.

Good point...and hey....if any1 tried to orevtn u with the argument that kobe has more mileage on him cuz jordan took 2 breaks.....tell them that jordan played 3 yrs of college...

there is no debate,the only thing that kobe maybe was better is the three point and that is debateable.

they will be selling burgers at that age

Those 2 might. MJ came back from (5yrs) retirement; unlike those two (kobe most likely) might keep playing until age 40. xD

@@kingtoooooot Kobe. 😭😭😭😭😭

MJ was averaging 27 to 29ppg bit because of his Knee Problems, and he was an in the MVP race before he was injured after the Knee Injury his ppg lowered to 21.

theomegasondaryeus Im coming.
