[@johnlindsay7301]

His reaction actually tells us a lot. He says something like, He had a lot on his mind. This makes me think he was thinking of his dad and he was thinking of the upcoming Fathers Day. His reaction makes me think he turned down his effort level for game 4 and 5 so he could win the series in game 6 on Fathers Day as a tribute to his dad. Think about it. He dominated the first three games. He dominated game 6. He only struggled in games 4 and 5. Now I’m not saying he threw those games. He just didn’t give it his all. And the fact that they had won the first 3 let him know he could beat them if and when he wanted to. So that laugh which is over the top is actually very genuine. Because he knows the only reason Payton looked good in those 3 games was because Jordan was in 2nd gear for those games. When you think of that from Jordan’s perspective it genuinely is that funny.

Toni was quicker than Mason on the inbound and almost went to the 3-point line. Hard shot, from a quick turnaround. Toni was clutch af 🔥

[@johnmorgan8232]

mo sultan Scottie had zero problems with Toni, all the problems with incomprehensibly cheap Reinsdorf&Krause, and, after an amazing season, Phil pull out a dagger and stab Scottie in the back, because Scottie was not clutch, Toni was. None of that had to do with Toni, he said that Scottie helped him tremendously even in that season.

Now y'all know why Gary Payton said John Stockton was harder to guard than Jordan

[@kb4231]

Now y'all respect John Stockton?

[@rallacewasheed1422]

Keep the comment in it's proper context pls. Payton hated guarding Stockton b/c he couldn't get a reaction out of him. GP thrives on verbal/physical conflict. Jordan reacted cuz he the same way. Stockton is a robot, no reaction whether he winning or losing (see Tim Duncan & Kawhi) It wasn't that Stockton was some MVP level player, he wasn't. He's obviously an all time great. But miss me with the Stockton revisionist history. I seen Rod Strickland, GP, KJ, Mahmoud Abdul Rauf etc... give him that work.

[@mortenpotzdidler689]

@@rallacewasheed1422 Abdul Rauf also worked Jordan in a regular season game. So what? Rauf was a middling talent that had a career playoff FG% of 37%. In a seven game series against Stockton, Rauf managed to shoot 40%. What an amazing performance. Stockton also "worked" players like Jordan and Pippen off the dribble through his mid-thirties, as he had a very credible first step that no one ever talks about. You can find clips from Stockton in the 1995 season repeatedly taking Jordan to the hole off of straight ISO plays -- no picks. Stockton also outplayed Magic Johnson in their only playoff matchup. Stockton averaged 19.3 points, 16.4 assists 3.4 rebounds and 4 steals over the course of 7 games against Magic and the Lakers in 1988. Magic averaged 18.7 points, 10.3 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 1 steal per game in that series. Anyone that watched that series could see that Stockton was the best player on the floor. No one ever gives Stockton credit for how damned great he was in his prime.

One thing I have realized during this documentary is that the media will take any small little thing like MJ laughing over a remark and turn it into a big deal. Media did the same thing during his prime, media are still doing it now. Some things will never change

[@bravo1224]

Yes to all those things - MJ was dominant and he's still got that killer competitive nature - yes. BUT, I think this was just a case of him enjoying GP's statement and getting a kick out of how fired up GP was getting in reminiscing about the past.

[@chifreak26]

michael jordan only played in the 4th only once out of the 4 wins so his stats werent that high because of it. but people just look at stats instead of putting things into context

[@rickp4214]

The first three wins are not at issue here. Gary only played him straight-up starting in Game 4- which Seattle won (MJ shot 6/19). Game 5 Seattle won again (MJ shot 11/22). Game 6 Chicago won (MJ shot 5/19). That's your context. It's hard to say he had "no problem with the Glove" when those are the stats.

[@Mercenary-1914]

Even if The Glove played that level of Defense earlier in the series, Jordan would have responded still. Same outcome.

[@squarebiz71]

They had whooped on the bulls the whole regular season that year. Does that matter now? Absolutely not but going into that series there were strong indications that Seattle could very possibly have beaten the bulls. I was living in the Seattle area at the time but am from Chicago so I thought I always portrayed the unbiased opinion. They could have beat the bulls

[@jamaalshelton6793]

Have you seen the other games when MJ locked Payton up? You didn't hear MJ giving excuses like his tendinitis flaring up. You got to see the documentary circa 1998 about the 95-96 Bulls. MJ was wearing some portable muscle stim attached to his knees. Quite advanced during those years. Well except during Bruce Lee's time but that wasn't portable yet. It wasn't GP but the whole Sonics' defense on him plus Pippen had that ankle injury. Go re-watch it especially game 5 and tell me who locked down who...
