KOBE BYRANT SUPERFAN REACTS "Michael Jordan's HISTORIC Bulls Mixtape"

3 peat... retired 2 years... came back to 3 peat again. That's INSANE!!!

[@NewNormalWorldOrder]

I think his “retirement” was forced by the NBA because they caught him gambling on games. So they secretly suspended him (or even permanently banned him from the league) and let him go play baseball to stay in shape. But when they saw the abysmal ratings and decline in popularity without him, they brought him back. And there’s a bit of evidence out there to suggest this is the case.

[@fredball8240]

@@NewNormalWorldOrder First I have ever heard or read about this...tons of biographies out on him but no mention in any of them of a forced suspension. Losing his Dad in the tragic way it happened impacted him deeply. When he was young his Dad wanted him to play professional baseball. His Dad was a HS star and wore the #45. Trying to deal with the NBA hysteria after his 3-peat (couldn't eat a meal anywhere without interruption), then the untimely and tragic death of his Dad (his mentor and confidant), and a desire to seek a new challenge all converged into his decision to try baseball. He had completely dominated basketball. Other contemporary players were successfully doing two professional sports: Deion Sanders, Bo Jackson, Brian Jordan, etc. so it was a thing then. He started off raw but quickly became a polished outfielder and eventually a reliable hitter. He made it up to the AAA level, the final stop before the Majors, when the MLB players went on strike and the owners locked them out - thus cancelling the 1994 season. No more games, no practice venues during the lockout. Nothing left to do..so what next? The lure of coming back and being great again after taking two seasons off. THAT'S what I believe brought MJ back. He had never failed at anything and he wasn't going to fail at baseball either. He would've kept going to the top because it's in his DNA to be the very best. Still tho he was chasing his Dad's dream and although he didn't get the opportunity to say goodbye to his father, that dream had come to an end. There was no telling when that strike would end. So it was fate and Bulls GM Jerry Reinsdorff record salary offer that stepped in.

[@irissanders7487]

@@NewNormalWorldOrder ...The Commissioner David Stein said it was not true no matter how many times people wanted to believe that. Jordan was Chicago's franchise so they not letting him go after an investigation was done that found no wrong doing. Get real! And the owner of the Bulls continued to pay him $3 million dollars a year when he left to go play baseball because he said Jordan was underpaid his whole career. (Bulls owner owned the baseball team Jordan was on). So you think he's going to continue to pay a guy who was doing something wrong??????

The way I break it down is that Kobe is the closest thing to Michael Jordan but he simply lacked the athletic gifts that Jordan had that put him in a class of his own. By NBA standards, Kobe was an average athlete. Jordan was the freak among freaks. Still has the highest measured vertical of all time in the NBA.

[@at1212b]

Tex Winter and Phil Jackson both said MJ had lower center of gravity and much stronger.. so didn't get pushed around in the paint.

[@DanialFiasco]

Kobe is MJ version 0.5 Smaller hands and a slower first step

[@RobertLegereIII]

Bro, you can't be seriously calling Kobe an "average athlete". You're crazy. MJ was on another level but calling Kobe "average" at anything is CAP!!

[@DanialFiasco]

@@RobertLegereIII Was he aversge? No he was not.. But he is also not at the level of mike , magic , kareem and bird all 4 of of whom played a certain way and was the best at it.. Also i take issue with the fact that kobe fans try to re-engineer his history especially the 3peat team with shaq eith ludicrous statemwnts like "shaq was 1a and kobe was 1b" No it was not 1a n 1b it was shaq than kobe.. Kobe has gone on record stating hr was bothered by the side kick tag which is why he wanted shaq gone so he could lead his own team to prove to himself that he could do it.. He almost never did which is why im glad he got those 2 championships if not he would have been viewed at very differently

[@whenisdinner2137]

@RobertLegereIII In NBA terms yes he is... At the very least he's not an absolute freak athlete like Jordan was

[@CabralCreates]

Mj was Kobe's mentor and Mj was Mamba before mamba. The guy had a 48inch vert and averaged 41ppg in the finals in an era that didn't shoot much 3s and had multiple people in the paint waiting for him to try to stop him. Imagine what he would do in a game with so much wide open space 🤣

[@russelturner5771]

Only player to average 40 mutiple times in a playoff series. Did it 5X

[@Daveyboy_GolfR]

A lot of young people and LeBron fans like to talk about MJ not winning in the '80s and not winning without Pippin, but that wasn't MJ's fault, since these 80s playoff performances are possibly the GOAT -1986 1st Rd vs Celtics 44 PPG/6 RPG/6 APG/2.6 SPG/1.3 BPG shooting 52% (Dropping 49 in GM1 and 63 in GM2) -1988 1st Rd vs Cavs 45.6PPG/5RPG/5APG/3SPG/1.6BPG 56%FG winning in 5 games (Dropping 50 in GM1 and 55 in GM 2, and only having 1 game Scoring less than 40) -89 1st Rd vs Cavs 41PPG/6RPG/8APG/3SPG 53%FG 92%FT winning in 5 games -'89 2nd Rd ECSF vs Knicks 37 PPG/8.5 RPG/9.5 APG shooting 55% winning in 6 Gms. -'90 1st Rd vs Bucks 37 PPG / 8 RPG/7 APG / 2.5 SPG / 1.0 BPG shooting 54% over 4 games -'90 ECSF vs Bucks 43 PPG/ 6.6 RPG/ 7.4 APG/ 4.0 SPG/ 1.2BPG (Finished them in 5 games, and MJ only had 1 game scoring less than 40, which was 37 in gm5

[@russelturner5771]

@Daveyboy_GolfR Exactly! Considering that the Eastern conference was stacked with the Celtics & Pistons two of the teams that had a stranglehold on the NBA title at the time, you couldn't expect Jordan to defeat those teams singlehandedly, even the Cavs & Bucks were strong teams & Jordan scoring an NBA playoff record 63 wasn't enough to beat the Celtics. That's why it's a team game.

[@Daveyboy_GolfR]

@@russelturner5771yessir.... No one else has ever put up numbers like that year after year after year in the playoffs, regardless winning or losing. Next time I'll include ALL the '80s playoff series, including All 4 Detroit series, his rookie series vs the Monster early '80s bucks where he averaged just under 30 PPG, and the 87 first round vs the Celtics. In fact, I know this from memory, From his 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, and 90 playoff series appearances which equaled to 53 games, MJ averaged 36.5/7/7 with 2.6 SPG and 1.1 BPG shooting 51%. And that was before he even won a championship. So anyone who tries to discredit Michael Jordan In the '80s for not winning, I guess they expected him to average 60 PPG throughout the '80s playoffs?? Lol

Jordan was a mid range shooter. Played in an era where mid range and attacking the rim was the way you had to play to win. Nobody was better at those two things in NBA history. He is also the best defensive guard of all time. Which never is talked about enough. Michael would shut anyone down. The special trait beside insane athletic ability that is not talked about enough was his hand size. Mike could palm a ball with one hand like you would hold onto a grapefruit. 9.75 inches long by 11.375 inches wide hands. That is God given. Humans 6’6” don’t have hands that big. He is the best ever. No question about it. Nobody is close. Those that lived through it like myself know. We have seen too much ball.

[@warrenbfeagins]

When you say he over hyped and all he do is dunk and he got a little defense, you are literally telling the world you know nothing about him. He's arguably the greatest defender in NBA history. Saying he got a little defense is like saying Jeff Beezos got a little money. He has 10 scoring titles and won a defensive player of the year while winning a scoring title. He's a 9 time 1st team all defender. He has the most 100 block and 200 steal seasons all time. He was actually a lock down defender. Great reaction! Lol!

That was the man's era this has been showtime era with less defense and extra step with no contact. Kobe and Bron both top 3 but jordan is just a different breed. Took James 12 years longer twice as long as jordan to get the same numbers. I absolutely adore kobe and replacing iverson as my all time 2nd favorite player was hard.

The reason Jordan isn't like that in 2k is simple: 2k is now a bullshit game for middle schoolers. 2k used to be a legit basketball sim that was getting better every year but somewhere in the middle 2010s they figured out they could make more money by concentrating on selling you what amounts to basketball-pokemon, fixing to to collect all these players and cards and badges and abilities, and just repackaging the same same with a new skin every year. Shit is ass, the badge system was the worst thing to happen to 2k, turning on superhero abilities in a basketball game. It's why you can tell who knows ball from watching ball vs those who think they know ball based on 2k ratings.
