I think the proof that Jordan's supporting cast got better and better each year when he's off the floor and even off the team doesn't weaken his GOAT debate, it STRENGTHENS it. Jordan and all of the older greats didn't team hop for rings, they built up their respective franchises. LeBron makes every team he goes to all about him, and once he has scored an early ring with a stacked deck, he doesn't consider rebuilding, he just dips. That's no goat at all.

[@dungoncrazy2634]

Exactly and he's right. If you're guarding someone like Giannis as a defender and he shoots a 3, make or miss do you think you won that possession. Most ppl would say yeah b/c you had to work less to defend a less dependable shot. MJ didn't settle, he forced teams to double and triple him from HIS spots and didn't let the defense dictate his offense. Gotta respect that.

[@nathanmckenzie904]

Actually it was something like he didn't want to sit around and wait for the shot.

[@elijahjacob7]

What a dumb thing to say. So was him settling for jump shots in the midrange also a "bitch" move. Of course he took it to the rim, but does that mean he was soft for not going to the rim every single time he touched the ball? Also, if it was so easy, why didn't he shoot it better? Why did the NBA move the 3pt line up in the first place? Wouldn't that also mean they tried to make it easier for 90's players in the era in which it was supposedly so hard to score? Does that mean they tried to make it easier for Jordan?

The thing which I don't know how you track is this: when Jordan went to the bench (which wasn't often) the opposing team usually took the opportunity to rest their best defender(s) while Jordan was out...which is then going to make life easier for the five Bulls who were on the floor without Mike. No, that didn't happen every single time, but it happened a lot because Jordan was an exhausting defensive assignment.

[@robchesley4591]

So ridiculous, the 94 bulls were fresh off years of Jordans discipline and example. Of course they still retained some of that championship chemistry. But the rings follow Jordans presence.

[@lightbeforethetunnel]

Man it would suck being Jordan's teammate and constantly be disregarded. Anything good they do? Because of his presence, whether he's there or not. Anything bad? Well, that just strengthens how good MJ was to compensate.

[@davidschmidt1793]

@@lightbeforethetunnel Disregarded? They won 55 games without him. Are you gonna deny Jordan's impact on a team that had the same guys for several seasons? That 89 team that was totally carried by MJ to the ECF had the same starting 5 of the 3peat team, yet they were awful at the time and became a 3 times champion. If anything, it proves Jordan couldn't win by himself, considering how amazing he was during those late 80s runs, but it also shows that the Bulls evolved as a team and Jordan's leadership was certainly a part of that.

[@DirkJoseph]

3's make sense now, but back then a lot of basketball was played in the paint, and they had a lot of post play. I also think people took more pride in having good footwork back in the day as well. Don't need that much footwork to make 3's.

[@michaelwhite8119]

The thought back then was that you constantly needed to be aggressive. If you are aggressive you draw fouls. You draw fouls, you get easy points on a FT. Get into the bonus ASAP. Not to mention that with hand checking and arm bar you could crowd a three point shooter. Now I’ve literally seen a few times where a player plays defense behind his back to avoid the touch foul. Also, if the three point line didn’t even make it into the NBA until 1982 or college until 1986 these guys didn’t grow up practicing from that range in volume. If they did (before the line was there) they would have got chewed out for shooting and practicing shoots from distance. I’ll be honest. How much talent does it REALLY take to hit a spot up three? It’s so odd to see so many young fans enamored with it. I’m more impressed with a two step drive, stop on a dime pull-up where you create space or do a 180 off the pivot and back it in over a pull up or spot up three.

[@rons2285]

Statically it’s harder to hit a spot up three hence the percentage for 3pts being lower than all other fg%

[@sokratesharalambros4845]

[@parawill7074]

Let's clear an important fact that the video doesn't address. MJ joined the Bulls while they were a basement team. The early years were MJ establishing himself as an MVP level player that turned the Bulls into a lower seed playoff team. The Bulls were already improving before they drafted Pippen and Grant, who were bench players when MJ won 50 games and a playoff series without any major contribution from them that season (neither made the all-rookie teams). The next year, the Bulls made it to the ECF with Doug Collins as coach and Pippen's contribution improved, but wasn't anything spectacular. Phil took over the next year and got the same result as before (an ECF loss to the Pistons) before they got over the hump and became a dynasty. See, this is where people make the mistake of talking about the Bulls winning without MJ. MJ was the absolute best player and leader on the court, and also the veteran. Pippen and Grant weren't there during the dark years when MJ took over a bad team and led to them to some success. Also, the Bulls were ascending when they joined the team and their additions simply added more young talent to fill roles around MJ. The Bulls were a championship team with MJ and a playoff team without him, but people forget the fact that the Bulls were a well oiled and experienced team when MJ first retired. MJ was the championship piece, but the Bulls still were an overall talented team that first season without him. However, the 2nd season that no one wants to talk about was entirely different where they were barely over .500 after the all-star break before going 13-4 with MJ when he came back late in the season and they lost to the Magic in the 2nd round. MJ came off the baseball field and was rusty, but the next 3 seasons with fully fit Michael Jordan was all rings.

[@BizznessMinded]

You stated this about as perfect as it could possibly be. I've posed the identical response in discussions on the same topic many times over the years.

[@Codesta]

I started watching some of his early career games and it wasn’t pretty with those teammates. Everytime he passed the ball to his teammates they shot bricks or got blocked. Corzine was one of those guys. Imagine his assists numbers if his teammates could actually convert a good pass from MJ.

[@sylence2012]

Threes were a very small aspect of 80/90s ball in an era with high levels of defense. The 3s are more used and effective now because the defense level is far weaker with players being open more often than not

[@Jokah227jish]

Jordan was Drafted to the Bulls on 84'. And I think for the 7 years before his first Chip, he averaged above 25 for every game maybe 30.

[@jca4343]

Reality is you can't measure what someone like MJ brings on the court. He was one of the hardest workers in the game and he pushed his teammates to be better. He made the practice harder. So his teammates were better even when he wasn't on the court.

[@Element_y]

Stats are a tricky thing. For example, the multi-player on/off graph shows LeBron with a higher +/- per 48 minutes, but it doesn't take in consideration the average total points per game by teams. When Jordan was in the playoffs, it wasn't uncommon for combined scores to be under 200pts. Post yr2000 and especially in the 2010's and beyond, its UNCOMMON for combined scores to be under 200. It's almost rare. It's more common for combined scores to be 250+, and even hitting 280-300. In Jordan's NBA, hand-checking and other differences led to overall less scoring. In short, there is a lot more scoring in the modern game and thus more likely for there to be greater gaps in +/-.

[@josephcox3091]

The reason why he didn't want to practice three point shooting is very simple, the rules that protect the shooter and award free throws didn't exist back then. You rarely ever saw the refs blow the whistle on a jump shot, and people didn't care about giving you room to land, which means those shots were more difficult back then to consistently generate offense.

[@normacherylwashington4872]

That's because Jordan was a great team captain and turned mediocre players into great players. He lead by example, and with tough love. Jordan just made everyone around him better.

[@golfhax]

[@Jokah227jish]

Lil bro, The fans never came to the games to see Micheal Jordan shooting 3's. We went to the games to see him fly through the Air. Even his turn around fade away from Mid Range was beautiful and deadly. That shot made the middle open up where he was most dangerous. Smaller guys are defensively faster. Danny Ainge was an awesome defender. Clyde was also a good defender, Charles was a good defender but his foot work isn't fast enough.

[@BruceJohnson-om5kl]

He said, if you start to look for a 3, it becomes a habit. When you're already efficient in the Post and the lane. He proved he can shoot 3s but that isn't his game. Jordan is a "Active" player not a inactive player.

[@parawill7074]

MJ was correct about the 3pt shot from his position. MJ was lethal driving to the basket and hitting the mid-range, and jacking up 3's would have lowered his efficiency. People don't realize that when MJ took over 200 attempts from 3 during the season (4 times in his career), he was a 38% 3 pt shooter. He rarely took 3pt shots during his career, which is why his % is lower. He didn't need to rely on the 3pt shot and only used to open up his drive to the basket or for a jumper, which are both higher percentage shots.

[@hectorbatang3023]

That's why the discourse about the Bulls not needing MJ during his retirement between '93-'95 seasons was bull (pun intended). He just made his team a lot better because of those hellish practice sessions and their confidence and maturation to face opponents even without MJ grew because they were already battle-hardened.

[@dominiccampbell181]

The thing about Lebron in this, is that there is no way this couldn't happen unless Lebron was a bad player. His teams have always been structured around him and his skillset, with him being primary ball handler and facilitator. When you take him out of the equation, of course the offense is going to fall apart, because you can just slot anyone into a system built around him. A team built for and around Lebron is not going to function without Lebron, and that's why his former teams always fell apart when he left. Then, with the way that he used their assets and draft picks to build his rosters, they didn't have anything to rebuild with once he was gone. It doesn't diminish the fact that he's an all-time great, but for a lot of people it does kind of effect whether he can even be in the GOAT conversation.

[@Benayah-m5q]

The 94 team (without MJ) improved so much because they acquired Harper, Kukoc, and Longley. If Pippen didn't have those guys join up with the Bulls in '94, and would have still had the same team from the previous year, they never would have got near the ECSF. Those three guys made all the difference. And when Jordan came back for the 95-96 season, with the addition of those 3 guys and Rodman, He took them to another 3peat. Jordan didn't have Harper, Longley, Kukoc or Rodman in his first 3peat. In fact, his bench only avgd 3/1.2/0.8 collectively for those 3 championships. And his starting lineup, besides Scotty was -Cartwright averaging 9/4/1.5 -Paxon averaging 7/2/4 -Grant averaging 12/8/2 GOAT

[@christophershenton899]

If you look at the floor in the paint there is not a restriction zone. Defense also played closer to the player and hand checking was morr prominate. They added thay to allow players to go into the paont, then made it larger to give more room. When MJ went vs the Pistons they was hitting every chance they got to stop him from going to the net. MJ knew that he he needed to improve himself to overcome that by adding muscle. The big mistake people also make is to look at highlights and not full games. You will see the difference in how the refs called the game, how defense was played and that the 3 point part of the game was usually specialist or role players.

[@alexvanden]

Danny Ainge was a hustler! The reason for putting him on MJ was to drain energy and provide back up support when he would drive by at the rim. "Not effective from 3"??? Those charts showed you he was above league average, and when you apply the context that he was often asked to take the most difficult shots with the clock running down, you have to add that extra pressure as a determining factor! "Scottie, Horace, and Dennis team"??? Dennis wouldn't have been on that team if not for Horace leaving and for MJ being there! This video exemplifies exactly that the Bulls rose to Jordan's standards! It was because of MJ that each player became a better and more dependable player! It's was Mike who set the tone, and it was Mike who was the one who repeatedly brought them across the line!

If he's speaking specifically about the playoffs then he shouldn't say Phil ARRIVED in '90. Maybe he meant to say his first playoffs as coach which was '90.

The understanding of the 3pt value was not understood yet. It just came into the league in 1980. It wasn’t seen the same way

The Bull had an exceptional general manager. That's my take away. Jordan did what he did but there were multiple components to the teams success.

[@StCropper]

When Jordan was off the floor, who else was off the floor? Also… what were the scores and times, when Jordan was off the floor. Because teams aren’t going to have many possessions if the team is up 10, and Jordan is resting for 1 -2 min stretches. It was 24 second shot clock. After 4 possessions that’s near 2 mins. Teams today miss on 6-7 possessions but it’s from chucking up 3’s. They’re not planning to attack. So that matters too.

MJ torched Ewing on a regular my dude

LeBron has made the game argumentative....

I love Charles Barkley but you give him way too much credit cuz at no point in time could Barkley have ever covered Jordan and been successful!! You have to understand that NOBODY was successful guarding Jordan on a consistent basis!! That's why he's who he is

[@fatboy5926]

Back when Jordan played (this doesn’t include everyone there was plenty of amazing 3 ball shooters back then) but the 3 ball was more for guys around stars. I mean it was a big guys game anyway - Jordan was a driver and post up man - yeah as you said he was putting pressure on the defence that way - standing away from the basket shooting 3’s isn’t really putting pressure on the D. It’s just not what was done

Cartwright had the ugliest free throw shot ever. 😂😂😂
