Jordan saw in kobe what jordan brother saw in his little brother, No one is gonna let you win, you have to win, i can show you and teach you, but you have to want it. Its like players these days just care about getting paid.

[@terrenceolivido741]

I do not in any way believe that winning is everything, but i do believe in accomplishment. that can come in many forms, but Jordan was the goat. the only players greater than Jordan were the great duo of Magic and Bird - together. As far as individual talent Jordan absolutely dominated when he needed to - at both ends of the court - and even in the middle.@@Fabulos1

Yeaaaaah well spoken!!!!!

[@gailbatty1702]

I was in the Air Force for 22 years and am from Chicago. In 1992 I was stationed at McDill AFB in Florida and the Bulls were playing a preseason game in St. Petersburg with the Washington Bullets. After the game we went to a local club called the Green Iguana and after an hour, the bouncers came and roped off our area. The Bullets and Bulls showed up and were in our section. I got to meet all of them including MJ. We talked for a few minutes and he was more interested in my military service and recently coming home from the Gulf War. No one had a camera, but the memory is still bright in my mind. He was a real nice guy, to me.

I grew up watching Jordan and he was larger than life. His face was everywhere and his commercials were on all day long. His game was iconic to the point that there were 9 mortals on the court and 1 Jordan.

[@Epicentr]

Man, I balked at Kobe being the next MJ when he was coming up. I didn't hate on him but I was just like, "naw, nobody beats Jordan, don't play." Seeing the respect and camaraderie between those two, Kobe's similar dedication and love for the game, it's beautiful how that torch was passed. I actually get it in the feels listening to Kobe talk about it. Great video as always, YG!

[@curronwilliams]

I get that. I think Lebron is a freak athlete and an amazing player. But he falls under the Wilt, Bill, Shaq world. It's not the same when you are as big as half the centers in the league. It's different when a guy that is average height for the NBA at 6'6". It's why if there was a conversation of the 2010-2020 goats its Steph Curry. It's different when you can inspire the average person compared to just being bigger than just about everyone else.

[@zakkg5497]

Kobe was different...i would say second to no one but Mike, but when you watch all those who spoke about MJ...they all seem sincere, not because they loved Mike, pretty sure most of them hated him to their guts, but because of love of the game and that no matter what they were big enough to admire the game and acknowledge one's greatness. And a couple of days ago i watched the first minutes of Lebron/Reddick show and i simply could not stand it - just called it a clown show as it was all scripted and a clown show as i saw a media pumped guy with a great losing record disrespect MJ's influence while wearing his number...that's pathetic and shows no knowledge of the game and its history no respect to the ones that paved your way to a billionaire status...

[@BenjiiJackson]

Kobe Made Alot Of Us Feel That Way.. & Became The Torch Alot Of People Didn't Appreciate Til Near The End Of His Career

@@p9r4ex8dyk Facts. Both Kareem and Jordan went to college before the NBA lifted that restriction. What people fail to realize is that it was darn near impossible to join the NBA straight out of high school at that time. High school basketball programs these days often are at a level colleges were at decades ago. I just don't see LeBron being able to be as productive in times past. Shaq would have ate him up.

[@Fernando-vg4ym]

Frankly, it's insulting to MJ that people say LeBron is at his level, much less passed him. There is MJ, and then there is a fight for second place. Kobe is the nearest thing to MJ because he imitated his style of play. Fact is, LeBron doesn't have the skill set, the determination, the win at all costs and the never give up mentality that MJ possessed. The first time LeBron lost in the finals and the first time he quit on his team and walked out before the game was over, I knew that he would never be at MJ's level.

[@kwesip6267]

You say that but MJ gave up twice but Lebron has never given up.

[@Fernando-vg4ym]

@@kwesip6267 Really? You say that retiring after winning three titles in a row is "giving up"? You don't "give up" after you've won a championship, much less three. Your definition of "giving up" is so hypocritical when you consider that LeBron has walked out on games numerous times before they're finished. And how many times has LeBron "given up" on his teams? And, if I recall correctly, he did it each time after losing, and losing badly at that. Now, THAT's the true definition of giving up. What a joke!!

I’d stay home night to watch the Bulls and MJ live on TNT and TBS. I went to 2 Bulls vs Sixers games live in Philly to see MJ. It was insane to be able to see him live. It was almost like it wasn’t real. Like a dream. They won 1 game and lost the other. In each game he had amazing dunks and his patented baseline layups around multiple defenders.

Born in 73, Dr. J was actually my first basketball hero but then he retired in like 1986. Right after that was the dunk contest where Mike jumped from the free throw line to slam it & that was it for me, I was a fan of both him & the Bulls from then on...

[@KarmaNDuality]

The debate between Lebron and MJ was settled tonight once and for all for me, when I heard Stephen A Smith say... "When Lebron walked on the court, players respected him. But when MJ walked on the court, players were terrified of him." Never mind all the stats that MJ clearly dominates in with the time he spent, he literally terrified his opponents because of how great he was, and how bad he could make you look... Very few wanted a piece of him.

I can only imagine playing against Jordan and what it must have felt like being a young player against him. I attended the 2007 Iron Bowl (I’m a Bama fan) in Auburn and Bo Jackson was introduced to the crowd. I had flashbacks of being 9 years old in 1983 and watching the Iron Bowl on TV and Bo had 2 TD runs of over 70+ yards and over 250+ yards for the game. I was 33 years old [2007] and started crying like a baby as I was seeing in person the *Greatest Athlete that has ever walked on earth* So playing against MJ had to be crazy.

[@bobbyjurgens4649]

The first real memory I have of watching Jordan was in the 87 playoffs against Detroit. I made my parents watch it with me and I remember.. I was 8 years old and my mom late eat my dinner in the living room so I could watch the game. I never missed a bulls game and when I was 18 I was living in Salt Lake city and I was fortunate enough to go see him play the jazz in the finals. Great memories.

[@Icebergwallst]

I absolutely remember the first time I saw MJ play, I was in Germany and one of my new soldiers asked if I was going to watch the Bulls play. I was like hell no I’m not staying up until 2 in the morning to watch a boring basketball game. Well he convinced me to watch because I had never seen MJ play, needless to say he spent the whole game grinning and watching my reaction because I had never seen anything like that before. I couldn’t wait to get on the court just to try a fraction of the moves I witnessed.

Tracey mgrady says " Michael had a glow. " Jordan had it all. one of the best things he had was being intelligent enuf to listen to professional advisors in his personal life and than make educated decisions about how to handle it in public.

I love these MJ (and Bird for that matter) vids. Jordan was in a different universe; SO much fun to watch. The only thing I don't like about these, is that pretty soon they're going to start posting vids about L James. Who is Not EVEN close to MJ. Jordan would have gone for 40 or 50 on James just to show him who was boss. Yes, LJ can play, he's very good.

One cool thing about being 54 years old as I grew up I watched all of his games all the Larry Bird games all the magic Johnson games. Honestly the sports never been the same since.

first time watching Jordan was the 1992. Olympics. My country played them twice, including the gold medal game. You guys couldn't believe the hype even for back then when TV and newspapers were the only media around really..

It really was insane!!!!

[@markthompson2502]

The first time I saw him play I was spending the night at the boys club with my teammates. It was the 82 ACC championship game. I was a fan then and am a fan today.

[@mikehinson5935]

Just the fact that he was born and raised in NC, went to Carolina where my father graduated from and driving the same roads as he does or has are what I think about. Oh and that he was insane to watch.

I am lucky enough to have been 7 when Jordan entered the league and 18 when he retired from the bulls.. and as a boy from Chicago who had seen many of the greats, jordan is easily the GOAT....

I was lucky enough to be able to see MJ for the first time, October 1984 in Chicago against the Bullets. Was he the dominant force he became.. No. But his performance was way above what a rookies first game should ever be.

Summer of 86! Layed 63 on my invincible Celtics. I remember being in awe sitting in my cousins living room. I had no Idea I was watching History play out.
