@Wane Gates Jordan is better than hakeem, prime Jordan stomps those rocket teams, they only won when he left, and when he returned he three peated, even tho he was rusty.

[@TheIcemanthomas]

@@yobro6053 doubt it. I dont think they had the front court depth to beat Houston. Hakeem wouldve feasted on them without a rough bigman down low for Chicago. Cause Horace had left already as dy and rodman was still in san Antonio. Doesnt matter if Jordan was there for bot, Chicago always had trouble with hakeem in the reg season. And that's if they even got past Ewing in Ny or shaq in Orlando.

In the '86 series Bird called him god dressed like mj and Bird wasnt known for his kind words. As far as Pistons...lets give that team some love...undertated...beat that great celtic team...beat showtime lakers...beat a great portland team and was mj greatest hurdle...The Jordan Rules was a real thing. Force mj to the middle, colapse and foul hard...in '89 series mj avg over 13 ft att per game and det avg 25 fouls per game keep in mind it was a half court game then with much fewer possesions det was fouling off ball forcing guys like grant and cartwright to hit free throws. They would trap with 2time dpoy 6'9 dennis rodman and made it tough for mj to drive and when he did the bigs were waitng in the paint ready to leave thier man and foul. ('88) det 27.4ppg 8.8reb 4.6ast 2stl...('89) det 29.6ppg 5.5reb 6.5ast 2stl....ffwd to '90 mj brought that D and bulls matched pistons def toughness everybody knows how the story goes from there. Start of 1st 3peat. I think all the bad boy piston d talk motivated mj to be the best backcourt defender in his gen, and cetainly forged him for those battles against knicks in years to come. Ill await your rebuttal but i wont hold my breath,

And Jordan didn't forget, way later when Jordan came back and played as an old man for the Wizards on his farewell tour. There is one game, where he just put it on Garnett, just time and time again, in his face deliberately showing him he still could do it. It's incredible to me, because that Jordan was old and worn out, and Garnett was in his Prime, and Jordan was just torching him, and people have the nerve to say Jordan only played against little guys. Go look up Jordan scoring in Garnetts face, over, and over again. It's just incredible.

Clearly, basketball wasn't a challenge to Jordan. His own ego was his ultimate challenger In order to motivate himself, through a game he already mastered, he took everything personally His own teammates in practice, coaches walking by, somebody else winning MVP, a compliment, you're done

[@mskidi]

It was no secret that when Mike felt dynamic and energetic he'd wreck you at will, because it was so much speed, explosiveness, stamina, creativity and efficiency for anybody to handle and I aint talking about a single player,I'm talking about 2-3 of them combined. Mike's engine pre first retirement burned hard and long, 7 years of consistent manic destruction. When he came back, which is the time KG talks about, he didnt have that marathon sprinter engine anymore, so he was a bit more strategic and cautious with his energy. From time to time though, someone would get him all pumped up and he'd then proceed to administer a 5-7 minute ole' Mike Jordan type of stomping.

GOAT MJ 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ianfitton9400]

Jordan was simply unstoppable and on a totally different level both in terms of ability but also psychologically,how he talked up situations some of which were by his own admission pure fantasy just to give him an extra edge on his opponents,combine this with his already god given talents and it's easy to see why he elevated himself to be goat,a once in a lifetime ultimate competitor! There have been many great sportsmen and women in history but none eclipse Jordan!

"That's all I needed", MJ

[@rdean400]

Crazy how good MJ was normally, and then someone disrespected him and it's like adding a nitro booster.

[@KingLucky1211]

Michael Jordan 🐐

[@mannyneva1760]

The crazy 💩 is MJ wasn’t in his physical prime anymore.

[@rayleigh8]

Exactly. These young guys think that 2nd three-peat MJ is prime MJ, that wasn’t even the shadow of prime MJ. Prime MJ 88-93 was the true scary one

[@LakersFanSinceJulyst]

He was a lot more stronger and physically imposing after the first retirement. In terms of pure athleticism and explosiveness, definitely 87-93 was his prime.

[@jonnykilroy9762]

Lakers Fan Since July 1st 2018 I think 91 and 92 are his true peak. He was still the elite athlete from the 80’s but he’d started really taking the weights serious and put on 15 lbs

[@LakersFanSinceJulyst]

+Jonny Kilroy Definitely, once he put on that weight. He became absolutely unguardable in the low post.

[@kevins1718]

FACTS. 88-93 Jordan was a beast. No one in today's NBA could see him. 2nd 3peat Jordan was connected to the game spiritually. Just untouchable without breaking a sweat. Check whay Kobe said about him in an interview, how Jordan never wastes a dribble or step.

[@PhilCherry3]

KG had me cracking up! I didn't know he is such a great storyteller! This is one of the best sports short stories I've heard in ages!

"I don't get 5 championships here without him" - Kobe's comment about Michael Jordan 🐐 in the Last Dance documentary

[@pp-vf8ls]

i admit, i repeatedly watching / hearing this clips over and over again and it stills funny..man, what a story teller

[@MrKing-ht5tz]

I swear this was a great interview. That Mike story is better when you hear J.R. side first. Been waiting to hear KGs version for over a year.....Lol

[@imyourfarmer9215]

Thank god for WGN. They broadcasted all bulls games. Got to see alot of mike...

[@kultan2000]

I got to see them all. I was in Illinois during that Bulls run. I swear MJ used to score 40 and I used to ask at the end of the game ,"when did that happen?" He used to make it look easy.

[@saltymonkey8874]

Hell yah man, we got WGN up in Canada I got to see him play all 82 games and win all six rings.

[@Newtown2006Brand]

I can watch This over and over and he will not get boring to me

[@jcrobot]

And that's the difference between Jordan and Kobe and everyone else.

[@stephaniezimbalist3757]

Every few months I come back to hear this story. It's so perfectly told, He set the stage, he acted it brilliantly. I feel like I was there. This plus Ali Saddiq's "Marshall" story and Kathleen Madigan's "An American idiot in Paris" story are my favorite stories about the consequences of people not listening.

[@joechrow8341]

My favorite Michael Jordan story is 6-0 in Finals 6 time Finals MVP never allowed a game 7 in Finals and 10 time scoring champion and 5 time MVP and 10 time ALL NBA first team and 9 time ALL Defensive first team and 866 straight games of scoring double digit points and 63 points in a playoff game and only player in History to Win MVP/Scoring champion/Steals leader/Defensive player of year/Slam dunk Contest/All star game MVP all in the SAME year! and hit free throws with his Eyes CLOSED in a game and was so GREAT that his "Shoes" were and STILL are the FABRIC of the Sneaker Culture! and was Named Athlete of the CENTURY!...Would you like to hear MANY MANY MANY more Michael Jordan stories folks?

[@kristion9774]

joe chrow 179 playoff games of 15 or more points his entire playoff career only 6 playoff games under 20 points 0 finals games under 22 points! MJ was different over 1000+ consecutive double digit games counting playoffs and regular season combined no one comes close when you combine regular season and playoffs

[@bassoonman2000]

LeBron who?

[@richardlloyd2589]

I think someone posted a stats showing MJ played 876 games without losing more than 2 in a row.

[@joechrow8341]

@@richardlloyd2589 3 in a row not 2

[@P-DAPS]

Only player to have a career scoring avg of 30 pts or better...

[@jadentrez]

Jordan comes by the bench and is like, "What? Y'all done?"

[@kevinperez758]

This is one of the best and the funniest MJ stories
