"No flop, no excuses just pure greatness. MJ GOAT!"

[@Romans8vs28]

You mean like crybaby James does?

[@LyricalMurderer1]

Didn’t need to flop because he got every call… just watch his final series vs Pacers and Jazz. Had the refs in his pocket..

[@Romans8vs28]

@@LyricalMurderer1 got every call because he's so good even with fouling him they couldn't beat him and when he'd lose a game he never made excuses or blamed anyone he took responsibility and tried to figure out how he could get better and motivate his teammates to get better unlike crybaby James

Jordan for life❤the🏀🐐🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

[@Jadulinchannel]

I remember back in the 90s, especially from 1996-1998, two national TV channels in Indonesia were competing to broadcast the NBA Finals. They took turns airing the games live - like, Game 1 on TV A, Game 2 on TV B, and so on. It just shows how huge Michael Jordan was.

[@bball3048mmfr]

90s Michael Jordan was peak NBA. I was alive then and am grateful for that.

[@DannyP-dm1pw]

That starting five of the 1996 NBA All Star Game is sick. Jordan, Penny Hardaway, Shaq, Scottie Pippen and Grant Hill. I'd put that starting 5 up against anyone.

[@mak23997]

Agreed 3 unselfish players. All tall. Shaq would defer to MJ and MJ would get him easy buckets. This team would be unstoppable.

[@FlymoufDiction]

Magic, Kobe, Larry Bird, Dennis Rodman and Kareem

[@DannyP-dm1pw]

@@FlymoufDiction I was talking about the actual starting lineup not a fantasy one. If I could make my own like you just did I would go with Hakeem Olajuwon at the center spot, Tim Duncan at the PF, SF I would put Scottie Pippen , SG - Jordan, and PG - fan wise Penny (but realistic wise probably go with Stockton). I love Magic but I feel Stockton would play his role better than anyone. Get Jordan the ball. Move out the way. Hakeem and Duncan down low. I use to go with Rodman but his antics get old fast. Duncan is reliable. Scottie at the SF over Grant Hill or Bird cause Scottie is the best Robin. Does a bit of everything and does it fine.

[@FlymoufDiction]

@@DannyP-dm1pw that's a game I'd definitely watch

[@DannyP-dm1pw]

@@FlymoufDiction I love those old days and games. Not knocking the modern guys. I know they are talented but maybe cause I'm 44 and not 14 they just have 0 charisma or style like the old heads had. Probably due to age. Why Barry Sanders still my NFL guy and Joe Montana is cooler to me than modern QBs and I'm a Giants fan. Big Blue Wrecking Crew days. I mean, Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemuiex, Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, Dan Marino, LT, Jose Cansenco, Don Mattingly..the names along are just too cool haha. Daryl Strawberry.

[@wiseborn2172]

Two things: 1) Somebody check to see if Perk’s family has been returned. I’m sure the Klutch told him that he unharmed as long as he stayed quiet. 2) Of course he called glass. Jordan’s ability to use the glass on shots goes back to UNC. Commentators need to do their homework. Not all jokes land.

MJ: GOAT OF GOATS

[@jamieking007]

UNLIKE a bunch of superstars u can never find where JORDAN CRACKED in the post season now he might have lost to BETTER TEAMS however it wasn’t bcuz of JORDAN letting his team down..not NEVER..There are a bunch of greats..he’s just the GREATEST OF THE GREATS..The ORIGINAL 23🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@cjmcdonald2281977]

The GOAT!!!!!

[@ryandecibar8826]

The Goat.

[@jamieking007]

Anyone u compare to JORDAN played 20 years or more and JORDAN did soooo much in 15 years with 2 RETIREMENTS..COME ON MAN 😩

[@briannoble1022]

Actually MJ retired THREE times...after the 1st 3-peat on the Bulls - after the 2nd 3-peat on the Bulls AND then came back several years later on the Wizards and retired for the 3rd/final time. So just imagine if he didn't retire at all, it would be a minimum of 10 rings (and multiple MVPs etc) on the Bulls!!

[@rollandcurtis874]

ESPN ranked the Top 100 professional athletes since 2000 aka the Top 100 pro-athletes of the first 24 years of the 21st Century: 1) Michael Phelps, 2) Serena Williams, 3) Lionel Messi, 4) LeBron James at only number #4, 5) Tom Brady, 6) Roger Federer, 7) Simone Biles, 8) Tiger Woods, 9) Usain Bolt, 10) Kobe Bryant. However, when ESPN ranked the Top 100 professional athletes since 1900 to 2000 aka the Top 100 pro-athletes of the entire 100 years (the whole Century)of the 20th Century: 1) Michael Jeffrey Jordan easily won the #1 spot, 2) Babe Ruth, 3) Muhammad Ali, 4) Jim Brown, 5) Wayne Gretzky, 6) Jesse Owens, 7) Jim Thorpe, 8) Willie Mays, 9) Jack Nicklaus, 10) Babe Didrikson, 11) Joe Louis, 12) Carl Lewis, 13) Wilt Chamberlain, 14) Hank Aaron, 15) Jackie Robinson, 16) Ted Williams, 17) Magic Johnson, 18) Bill Russell. So Michael Jordan is the #1 GOAT Athlete of the whole 20th Century, and LeBron James is only the #4 Athlete of the 21st Century. ESPN got this one right all the way. Nobody was a better athlete than Michael Jordan because Michael Jordan was better than everybody. Look at the distance between LeBron James and the VERY next basketball player (Kobe Bryant) in their era, and look at the distance between Michael Jordan and the VERY next basketball player (Wilt Chamberlain) in their era. There are 5 athletes between LeBron James and Kobe Bryant in their era, and there are 11 people between Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain in their era. The distance between Michael Jordan and whoever you have at #2, in regards to professional basketball, is the distance between Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain on this ESPN list. Case closed. GAME OVER!!! 👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Mr1888888888]

Serena Williams,Tom Brady Tiger Woods are not in top 10,they are on that list just because they are americans. Novak Djokovic is 10 x times better than all of these. Lionel Messi is #1 easy ,footbal is most popular sport plus in football is really tough to show your individual greatness,in all other spor from top 10 is pretty easy.

[@ManoManov]

​@@Mr1888888888 100% agree, plus it's an ESPN ranking which automatically makes them a bit non-challant when it comes to football, which is not popular in the states, but the most popular all over the world. I grew up watching and still to this day I am basketball and a football fan, since a kid MJ is my man and still my favourite baller and basketball GOAT and probably my favourite athlete. However, Messi is #1, easy. It's 1 thing to take over a basketball game of 5, but people can't comprehend how hard it to be able to take over a football game against 11 people, how insane this is and how many times he did it and what he manage to achieve in a heavily team orientated game in the most popular sport with the highest level of competition out of any sports (football is way more developed in terms of competition to basketball and the competition of Messi was even higher than MJs and Messi still dominated the game). What Messi did is absolutely insane, and if you watched how the other professional football legends talk about him, it's crazy. And, yes, I know they talk about MJ in a similar manner, but when Messi peers talk about him, they don't talk about like is only the GOAT, they talk about him like he is a genius, which he is when it comes to football. Also, football has even more different aspects in terms of positions and Messi is flawless in all of them, he can score, he can pass, he can assist, he can defend and create pressure with his presence, he do it all.

[@SilentMovements305]

Espns rankings are meaningless in my opinion. MJ is still the greatest of all time

[@FurrkkJones]

​@@ManoManov BS Michael Jordan's Thee Truee Athlete Than Messi If He'd Played More Longer Hee Woulda Won More Championships !! Period!!!

[@grinchoi1]

I have Lionel Messi and Michael Jordan. Case closed. Everyone else can pack it up and go home. They have transcended their sport. Their individual greatness/genius within a team dynamic have taken it to a place Ive never seen before and probably will never see again in my lifetime

[@d-blockceltics3696]

Point blank period!!!

[@yesyes1842]

As long as Lebron's professional career is. Jordan has been retired for longer and they talk about him just as much if not more. He only needed 13 years to do that to you all...

[@Pytliczello]

We don't belive we KNOW that he's a GOAT!

[@itsmeitstrue]

His mind was probably his best weapon n what made him the GOAT. Yea his athleticism was off the charts too but without that killer mentslity, work ethic, intelligence, and basketball iq off the charts, plus his fundamentals were on point. Adding all those intangibles to his god gifted size n athletic ability and you got the complete package. GOAT.

[@SilentMovements305]

Theres nothing anyone can say to despute it. MJ is the greatest of all time no matter what these bought n paid for minions say bout another player MJ is the goat. Theres nothikg that player can do to ever surpass Jordan. They can push all the bs narratives the stats the records the ppg in whatever amount of time it dont matter. None of that is even close to the accolades of what MJ has. I noticed the co signer of the so called goat very quiet

[@katrinachavez3533]

No hyperbole when Legs was talking about electricity. I witnessed young MJ and then prime MJ a few times when Bulls came to LA to play Clippers at old LA Sports Arena and the electricity in the building was like nothing I have ever experienced. The closest thing was at the Tyson-Spinks fight in Atlantic City. And it seemed like the game was played in Chicago Stadium. MJ stole ball at midcourt and would have had a breakaway dunk but was fouled intentionally and the home crowd booed like they had seen Bill Laimbeer on the jumbotron.

[@Fanash02]

Introduced the sport globally, and players now benefiting with salary worth hundreds of millions

[@kaetha1]

If MJ padded his stats like Lebron is doing he would be the NBA scoring leader, remember MJ got all those accolades in 14 seasons if he played longer the list would be longer , and he played college won a championship and was player of the year in 1984, they should have added his college resume too

[@gridirongodsNetwork]

The resume gets the final say.

[@faronanderson2536]

Look at his resume at the end. It's more spectacular than his highlights. That's messed up lol! This black cat had it all.

[@katrinachavez3533]

The flair of the Air Jordan with hair was unfair. But the bald MJ was a killer like OJ in LA on a Brentwood driveway.
