It's the fact that he has the legacy, the titles, the accolades, the awards in offense, the awards in defense, had a storybook career and no one speaks disrespectfully about his game. It's the fact that all basketball players get compared to him, NOT anybody else. That's why he's the GOAT. Dude's career is a rabbit hole of basketball history.

In the last 50 years, Résumé - Total Achievements: (Titles / MVPs / Finals MVPs / 1st All-NBA / 1st All-DEF / Scoring Titles/ All-Star MVPs) 1st: Jordan = 49 2nd: Kobe = 34 2nd: LeBron = 34 4th: Kareem = 31 5th: Duncan = 29 … 2nd-5th you can debate 2nd-5th place but Jordan is so far ahead of everyone else…it’s not even close. Also the most amazing thing is that Jordan accomplished all this while playing in at least 5 years less than the other players

My favorite Jordan story: I believe they were playing the Utah Jazz and Jordan gets a dunk on the Jazz's point guard. Who was about half a foot shorter than Jordan. As Jordan is going back down the court to play defense, someone from the crowd (might've been the Jazz's owner or their coach) yells out "Hey, Jordan! Why don't you pick on someone your own size?!" The very next time down the floor Jordan gets the ball and dunks on the Jazz's 7 or nearly 7-foot-tall center. Jordan looks over to person who yelled at him and asked, "Was he big enough?" No response from the guy.

8:48 Of all the incredible things done by MJ in this video, that play there astonishes me the most. Because it's not as if MJ comes running in on every free throw. Yet before the ball even hits the rim, Jordan somehow knew that the ball would not only not make it, but bounce off the rim in a way for him to get it and slam it in. I don't know if MJ is psychic or he was just that good that he could see the balls trajectory and knew how it would go off the rim. Or even crazier would be that it was planned and the guy at the free throw, purposely missed and was able to aim the ball so well he knew it would bounce off the rim in just the right way. Pick a scenario, it doesn't matter because they all reach the same conclusion. Incredible.

Jordan learned the game under the greatest tutelage. Team ball and sacrifice, movement without the ball. Footwork and fundamentals, which in turn leads into creating space. MJ played under Dean Smith at UNC, Jack Hartman in the Pan American Games in '83, and then for Coach Bob Knight at the LA Games in the '84 Olympics. Playing against great competition in the ACC, and then competing with the best at the Pan Am and then the Olympic Trials in Bloomington. . . the dude competed and bested the best.

I had the pleasure of seeing jordan live at the old Chicago stadium and the united center. Games in the old Chicago Stadium were electric. Pre-retirement jordan was pure athleticism. If his shot wasn't falling, he'd drive to the basket and either make the shot or get fouled. Post baseball Jordan used his basketball IQ as well as his athleticism to pick teams apart. He wore 45 because his number had already been retired when he came back for the last 18 games of that season. My brother's mother in law would give us tickets during the last 3peat. Imagine watching jordan live courtside.... You should watch michael jordan voyager for more highlights or jordans best season 90-91 for more game sequences. The younger fans think we hate on Lebron. It's not hate we just got to see the most complete baskeball player. What other player won league mvp, allstar mvp, defensive player of the year, the scoring title with over 200 steals and 100 blocks in the same season.

All true, but you didn't mention how much MJ elevated other areas of his game once his athleticism had started to decline. That second 3-peat would have never happend if MJ hadn't become one the deadliest midrange shooters by relentlessly working on that part of his game during the offseason (and the regular season and play-offs, pretty much non-stop). He also added a really nice post-up and floater game to his reportoir - or rather, he always had those in his bag but went to them more in his later years, making him arguably even less defendable than before because of his crazy versatility.

Truthfully, I never paid attention to the NBA. But one day, I was watching tv and a commercial came on, and this guy jumped from the free throw line, sort of wiggled through the air, and dunked the ball. I asked my nephew who it was, and he said, "Thats MJ. Michael Jordan." From that day I was a Jordan fan. One of his best shots ever; never seems to make the high light reel. It was against Portland regular game. MJ received the inbound pass from Pippen and was bringing the ball down court, no one was near him. MJ tripped over his own feet, slid into the lane, threw up the ball and made the basket. My Mom said, "Did he just fall over his own feet, and still make the shot, while sitting on his ass?" I said, "Yes, Ma'am." And from that day we were both MJ Fans.

What makes MJ so great are his actual skills. One particular skill that is very underrated is his movement without the ball. The way he uses screens, gives little fakes to lose his man, etc. In his last year with the Bulls, MJ averaged holding the ball for just 3 mins 45 seconds per game and still scored just under 30. So each quarter he held the ball for just a little over 56 seconds. Crazy stuff.

he played less than 80 (during a full season) only twice....1993 because he had played 100 games in 1992 AND the olympics so really between 1991-92 and 1992-93 he played 220 games and missed like 5 total (playing 80 and then 78 games in the regular season those 2 years). The other year he was 38 years old and had played all but two games to that point when he got a serious injury missed about 15 games and the wizards fell apart and out of the playoff race by the time he returned for the final 5 games. he then played all 82 the next year as a 40 year old. he said it was an obligation to play because someone paid good money to see him play in person for the first time every game of the regular season and if he didn't, he'd disappoint them....now most athletes don't have that attitude and it's a shame.

Your comment about putting a big guy on him was one idea, but he was up against Bird, Ewing, Mutombo, Shaq, and he dunked on them all.

I saw him play a lot in that era. Now, looking back over it, I don't know if GREAT truly describes his ability. You mentioned he had no weaknesses, well, that wasn't an accident anything he felt he didn't do well or they said he couldn't do, he worked harder at it. he wasn't a 3-point shooter of that era. He could shoot the 3, and would if it presented itself or was needed. That era was more of a 3-point specialist era. Everybody on the team didn't just come down launching 3's. Isaiah Thomas now tells the story different and said that Jordan went and cried to the league about how Detroit would foul. The truth is, MJ got in the gym and got stronger. If you go back and watch, when they started beating Detroit, they were still fouling him hard, his body was just stronger and able to absorb the punishment. All teams had defensive specialist. Jordan was the first player where teams went out strictly to find their "Jordan" stopper..lol...and named him that. He had no weaknesses, and his game kept evolving. When he started to perfect that post-turn-around shot/footwork...and some of the best defenders in the league said it was over. yes, his career was longer than just the 6 championships, but even then, he was still the best player in the game. To 3-peat, retire, comeback, and 3-peat again....I just don't think anything else can be said or should be said after that.

When Jordan retired the first time the Bulls retired his number 23 jersey. So, when he came back to the Bulls, he initially wasn't allowed to wear number 23. He wore number 45 because that was his brother's number in high school. Michael had said that one time his brother was a much better basketball player than him. He was actually fined by the NBA $25,000 when he changed his number back to 23 in the second game of a playoff series against the Magic and the Bulls had failed to tell the league he was going to change jersey numbers.

They just want to argue because LeBron is in their era, and Jordan was not. The only thing they can hold onto is LeBron being the all-time scorer, which is ridiculous because he played five more years than Jordan and JORDAN is a holder of 10 scoring titles, so we know who's the greatest scorer. Jordan beats LeBron by every metric so please LeBron fans go tell that lie that LeBron is better than Jordan to someone else because the majority of knowledgeable basketball fans don't believe you.

My kids asked me what it was like growing up in the 90's ..I showed them this man playing basketball and introduced them to Tool...There is another video floating around youtube with a lot of statistical stuff comparing MJ to LeBron ....Larry Bird gave MJ a lot of loses .Pretty sure Jordan said Bird was the best defender he's ever faced.

I can guarantee you that Jordan never said that Bird was the best defender that he faced. Bird was never the best defender against any player. Bird was a great player, but he was an average defensive player at best.

Larry Bird was the biggest trash talker ever, but he would back it up. Great player. Rebounder, unbelievable clutch player and his shots, wow... Larry had also that killer instinct, but he was the 1st Great of that era to say, there was a new King in the house, named MJ...

He was more athletic before baseball (not by a lot) but I think, a more complete player after. His midrange was great before but became just one more facet of his game that you could say he was the best ever, after. Tough call though

The 82 Games question actually piqued my interest, so I went back decade by decade on Bball Reference and this is what I got : 22/23 - 10 players (16 other players played at least 80 games) 12/13 - 28 players (36) 02/03 - 46 players (48) 92/93 - 43 players (34) 82/83 - 40 players (45) 72/73 - 23 players (29) Very interesting indeed

You hit the nail on the head about today's NBA (and MLB as well). It's why I only watch the playoffs. Eventually, once modern players realize they have no chance to be immortalized in the record books forever, they will begin to pursue their maximum potential.

MJ is a unicorn in Sports history and the thing that sets him apart, in any era, is his mindset and will. Both of them were second to none. Combined with, almost, super human athletic abilities and the rest is history. We are not going to see anyone like MJ again not because none can be better than him, but because every human is unique and distinct from the others. My sincere wish is to witness in my lifetime many more athletes, equal or even better than MJ

I could be wrong, but I think I remember the term, “must see TV”, started with MJ. Either way, that’s what he was. My fav team was a team in the western conference. Consequently, I could also be a bulls fan. Unless your team was the knicks, pistons, Celtics, or The Pacers, you were a bulls fan. Even people who weren’t basketball fans were bulls fans. You got it correct in my book…Michael is #1 and Kobe, because he’s the closest player to being what Michael was (as a player), he’s #2. Though I have Michael tied with Wilt. I simply can’t bring myself to call the unofficial best shot blocker of all-time… that also would average 50ppg… that never fouled out of a game and dropped triple digits in a single game … #2 behind anyone. He was built like Yao Ming but was a track and field star. If tv was invented about twenty years earlier…Wilt would be the consensus number 1. But I can’t put anyone above MJ either.

@yvesgysel9834 Жыл бұрын

Wilt Chamberlain was also a great and you make a good point to bring him up. Definitely a freak and also unstoppable. Wilt was actually a bit too nice for his teammates. MJ demanded everything from his teammates. One word MJ was a killer and he would mess with the minds of the opposite teammates, including the coaches. Maybe lucky that Wilt was not like MJ, cause Wilt was probably the strongest player in the history of the NBA.

GOAT MJ in 50+ point games, leads LeBron 31-14. MJ also is way ahead in Scoring Titles for the highest points per game with a total of 10-1 over LeBron

@michaelwatson266 Жыл бұрын

Scoring isn't what elevates Jordan above LeBron, both can score at will, in different ways. It's MJ competitive fire, the "I will do whatever it takes to beat you" mentality. Once you're down, I'll jump on your throat so you don't get up. LeBron doesn't have that. Plus, LeBron is an average defender. He turns it up occasionally. Jordan was a bulldog on defense. He and Scottie would hound you. A great example of this is what they did to poor Toni Kukoc in the 1992 Olympic gold medal game.

@dero2430 Жыл бұрын

He won 10 scoring titles, 9 first team all-defense and 6 finals MVP in 11 complete seasons with the Bulls and he led them to an incredible 623 games without losing 3 games in a row, and they won 25 out of 26 playoff series during that time. Nobody dominated the game like he did. Just listen to the announcers on some of these clips, there was no debate that he was the greatest ever at that time and people knew it before he even won his second ring, the rest was icing on the cake.

Specific to Jordan - the statistics from the playoffs were much better than those from the regular season, although he is number 1 in both - on many occasions, if he had extra motivation (in any case, he was always motivated), he managed to score consecutive points. seeming to be able to score at will. He managed this even at 38 years old, scoring 22+ points in the first quarter.

In 1984 a bunch of NBA players were scheduled to be the warm up games for the college players that made up the USA team in the Olympics that year. Prior to the Olympics, the team played eight games against NBA All-Star teams including Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Kevin McHale, Robert Parish, Isiah Thomas and Mark Aguirre and won all eight. Jordan led this team in scoring also. So the NBA players knew what was coming into the league.

LBJ represents every thing that is bad when it comes to mentality and sportsmanship. He is not even a top 20 to ever played the game. His Basic basket ball skills are so so bad. Basketball IQ ? None. He started the FLOPP ERA . Every thing is all around him. He doesn't make his team mates better. Just a pure JOKE. Its a shame to mention him and MJ when it comes to GOAT debate. he is not even close. In the 90s people used to wake up at 3AM ( Israel time) to watch MJ and the bulls in the playoffs. After MJ quit no one wakes up to see other players. That's how MJ was a GOD of basketball for so many basketball fans.
