Notice how he didn't mention defense, which Jordan was leaps and bounds better than both Magic and Bird were. Also, Jordan was a SHOOTING GUARD, in which SCORING is the most important part of the position. I would have like to see Magic and Bird on those 85-89 Bulls teams and see how many championships they win.

[@hw6271]

I'm not a huge ball fan at all but his pg stats were wild as well

[@HZB_33]

@@hw6271 He forgot to mention MJ was 6'6 and the other two are 6'9. They also played diff positions, one had more chances to grab boards and the other was the PG who is suppose to have the most assists of the 3 and Larry is suppose to have the more rebounds as he was SF/PF!

[@Dr.J42]

Bird is super underrated defensively. Jordan was better sure, but Bird in his prime was a very crafty defender

[@deancafe4739]

The point is, magic and larry made those around them better, both did'nt care about anything except winning, that's why both of them were instsnt winners from highschool all the way to the nba, both were complete players the moment they entered the nba.While jordan was just a freakishly athletic dumb ballhog when he got to the nba.

[@chitownmo]

@@deancafe4739 The making players better is an unproven cliche. No one's else's talent actually improved. Gilbert Arenas and his co-host talked about this on their podcast. All they did was draw attention and made the right play to open players. They were not "complete." Magic was never a solid shooter outside of 8 feet. Bird was not a great ball handler even by old school standards. Both were great passers, yes. And they were fortunate to be drafted to the teams they played on which had great players or brought in directly after their arrival. Neither were great defenders. Jordan was far more than a "ball hog." That is the typical anti-Jordan rhetoric. Great player on both ends of the floor. Wasn't a Hold your hand, kiss your ass type player. Ball or Fall. Considering his "ball hog" reputation, his assist numbers are solid especially for a Shooting Guard.

[@ismaileffendi2830]

Same Larry Bird compared MJ to God when he scored 60 + points against the peak Celtics in 1986. These 3 players are all great IMO and would be in most people’s Top 5.

[@bobbywall172]

Should never compare the two! ludicrous talk😵‍💫

[@TT-rt5by]

Michael Jordan is not 6'9

[@davemartino5997]

He’s 6’6” and your crying ? Jordan had to have the ball to make shit happen that’s why he lead the league every year in shots per game

[@RasheedMichael5.]

They all had different roles, MJ actually had triple double numbers while playing PG for half of a season

[@hpmetabolics7558]

Jordan averaged a triple double with if I recall a 30pt avg during a 12 game stretch where he HAD to play point guard!

[@Aspectus]

There is also MJs teammates early on. Way different class than Lakers or Celtics

[@johnwx25]

Magic feeding Bird and Jordan? Add Rodman for D and rebounds. David Robinson at C? Unbeatable

[@donmorton7282]

80s Bird, Magic, and Jordan on the same team would be unstoppable.

[@o751106]

McHale, MJ wasn't just scoring 10 points😆😆

[@marykuettner752]

That isn't what he said silly. He said IF you could keep MJ to that you were controlling him. If this wasn't just a tiny clip you would see he wasn't knocking Jordan just talking about how alike Bird and Magic's game was.

[@reimixo]

He Said 10 shots

[@87mchale.71]

​@@marykuettner752what he said isn't true thou.

[@PhoenixRising82672]

Michael Jordan never took 10 shots per game

[@skydust1269]

Can't believe Goat Bird wasn't even going to be in the Dream Team. Took Jordan to get him there. Such disrespect for one of the greatest of all times.

[@ThePrufessa]

When Jordan focused on it while he was playing point guard he was the most prolific triple double getter in that season. Not to mention when he played against magic in the finals he basically outplayed magic at his own game averaging a half of assist less than magic for the series.

[@J24J]

Right, Kevin. We all saw how everybody could control MJ. 😂🤣

[@fredrickwhynn6225]

I'll never care about rebounds and passing over scoring. And don't say "only 28": Mike still made it to #20 all time in trip doubs (you said Bird is #10), which is no insult at all since you guys accused him of not trying lol. In either case: MJ's scoring by far outwieghs and makes up for boards and assists by Bird and Magic. And don't talk steals; MJ is top 4 all time in it🤦🏿‍♂️...lead the league in it 3x.

[@festusaniemeka3350]

Mike is a hundred times better than bird,but every thing u said is nonsense

[@sidjones16]

Magic and Bird played with Hall of Fame centers and scorers. McHale, Archibald, Maxwell, Kareem, Worthy, McAdoo, Scott. That's a lot free rebounds and assists.

[@Ultimatemonarch]

Any coach that would let Jordan take only 10 shots would be fired.

[@ashtonjackfanny]

I love how ole boy says they can score 17 points and win. Well Mike did have other scorers on his team like bird and magic had. That take a shit load of pressure off you. That why Bird can score 8 points in the finals twice in the same series and still.win. fact is neither magic nor bird could win with the help Jordan had they might be ring less. Mike has to score on every bulls team he won a championship on. Jordan was a way more diverse passer than both bird and magic. Jordan was an innovator with his interior passing. BTW he never mentioned how Jordan was superior to both on defense which Jordan always had play.

[@shanesawyer5103]

McHale- not Michael!!! 😂

[@vincespell]

They failed to say that Jordan was a better Defensive Player than both Larry and Magic and that Larry and Magic didn't have to score because they had players Like Mchale, Dennis Johnson who won a title with Seattle and was the Finals MVP before he came to Boston, they had Bill Walton who had won a title with Portland and was the Finals MVP. Magic had Kareem, Worthy, Cooper. Magic didn't have to score he had Kareem in the Low Post and Worthy off the wing, with Cooper handling the defensive assignments! Biased post, everybody trying to tear Jordan down...Lmao! It's on video, he was what he was! Jordan won 6 titles out of 6 tries. Magic and the Lakers were back to back champions, Isiah Thomas and the Pistons were back to back champions, Michael Jordan and the Bulls were back to back to back champions, then back to back to back champions again. Larry Bird and the Celtics were the only group out of the 4 who's team couldn't go back to back!

[@PhoenixRising82672]

Michael Jordan attempted 22.9 Field goals per game Control MJ 🤣🤣🤣

[@agulanwo856]

All three are different players with different skill sets & different physical attributes. If the team needed any category….I am certain that each of the three could supply adequately.

[@bobbywall172]

Truth brother

[@nodozhit]

On that accord, Russell Westbrook's MVP season is the greatest on record; Nikola Jokic is currently the greatest player in the world; and Luka Donic is on track to becoming the undisputed GOAT.

[@johnkeros9109]

MJ never past 1st Rd w/o Pippen in 5 tries. 0-5.

[@sidjones16]

Stop trolling with completely wrong numbers.

[@PhoenixRising82672]

Pippen didn't do anything in Houston and Portland

[@ozanmuratmert1060]

Who's Kevin Michael tho

[@ImUseless88]

I got him as a top 10 PF ever that’s who he was

[@big8dog887]

Per Wikipedia: "Kevin Michael (born Kevin Michael Seward, October 22, 1985, in Chester, Pennsylvania) is an American pop artist that was signed to Downtown Records in 2007, the same year he released his self-titled debut album."

[@zztv15]

He was raw had a nice fadeaway shot he was the reason for the Celtic's getting KG from the TWolves K McHale was the GM in Minnesota at the time and granted KG his wish by trading him to a Championship contender after KG staying years in Minnesota and giving his heart and soul for the Wolves that's what you call a stand up guy salute Kevin McHale

[@zztv15]
