Michael Jordan's Top 10 Washington Wizards Plays

[@MrEOM41]

MJs game aged so well. Didn’t need to depend on his athleticism into mid to late 30s because he was so skilled as a shooter and mid range game.

[@johnapplegate4020]

You mean couldn’t.. he couldn’t depend on his athleticism because after year 13 it was gone! And that’s 2 retirements. Only 1 he actually Got to rest.

[@tinystar3010]

I respect Kobe for what he did, but decades later I'm still buying Air Jordan's and not Kobe's shoes. MJ is still the defacto GOAT. Even Lebron got close, but MJ is still the standard everyone uses. No one says "he's the Kobe of ____" or "he's the Lebron of ____" everyone still uses MJ as the measurement of greatness.

[@edwardclarke3681]

Well I would wait till after Lebron retires to say that

[@jumpman22cn]

thank you, for putting the last play, as the No. 1 play on this list. He's the absolute king of the court. He might be old and descending physically, but his pride for the game will always be the highest.

[@kevinstephens2333]

Yeah Jerry Krause wanted to rebuild. He let Phil Jackson go.

[@MrEOM41]

Probably would’ve met the Spurs in 99 wouldve been a tough one they probably would’ve got us in 6

[@leonli9453]

He was actually one of the elites at age 40 for sure. Especially for a guy who came out of retirement, smoking cigars and playing golf and gambling. Came back like he still had it in him. That’s why I believe he’s the Goat 🐐. Until I see someone that achieved so much in a less time span and dominate at an era that’s physical with two 3peats and all them accolades/awards like scoring/defensive titles and undefeated finals record, and with that type of skill, athleticism. And have no weaknesses at all. His biggest weakness was shooting 3s and he wasn’t even bad at that either, he was average. But yeah I don’t want to hear there’s someone better. I’m just saying as a player too, not legacy. If we’re talking about legacy’s, his legacy is nearly untouchable. Changing the game, globalized basketball worldwide, got Nike from being the worst shoe company to the best and his head bald lol to where some players did it after him. This is coming from a Sixers fan too and I’m a huge fan of AI. I just can’t be biased.

[@TRUSev]

MJ the best 40 year old MJ is crazy game

[@Jdmlogics]

[@pekie5533]

Jordan had a killer instinct until the end even when his dunk resume cannot compete with Vince's, for example.

[@RKYJHAIRSTUDIOS]

I will meet MJ someday. Don’t know when, how, or where. Buts my only bucket list item. I love that man.

[@Olmeca357]

[@parth631]

Ladies and Gents MJ is the final BOSS in Basketball 🔥🏀

[@FFab-DD68]

LeBron is making a strong case as the best basketball player in the history of the NBA. Another title would definitely bolster his case. Look at his stats at the age of 37. No signs of rapid or sharp decline in offensive stats. MJ is still no.1 right now though.

[@Gamers_onlyy36]

​@@FFab-DD68 Lebron wouldn't catch up with MJ,MJ already solidified the first place 6-0 in the finals with 6 FMVPS and 5MVP's and 8th time defensive selection

[@bobm.8429]

Not only that, Mj had a better career and achieved more in lesser years in the NBA. Plus his accolades proved that he is way better than Lebron. Don't forget Mj once averaged 32/8/8, the time when his coach puts him as a PG and in an era where 3 pts is not really a normal thing back then. Now, if we're really going to question someone who should've been there at the top, it's nobody else but Wilt. He once averaged 50/25/2 for the entire season and might've been the greatest season an NBA player had without winning the NBA MVP!

[@MiguelMartinezmtzzz]

Number 4 and 9 the best...so beautiful. Great memories

[@tropicalterrarium1742]

Back then you could see that he was not a prime jordan, but was good enough to guard and score on anyone in the league.

[@m42037]

Better than anyone when he wanted to be, exp if you disrespected him!

[@russellgilbert3453]

When you the GOAT, don't matter what uniform you have on! 😂

[@NasirJones1994]

This is one of the most underrated seasons for any all time great. He should’ve played one more year. Would’ve had the three greatest players in one season

[@FFab-DD68]

Even at the age of 40, he was dominating the game and making amazing plays. Wow.

[@leonli9453]

I wouldn’t say dominating. Cause Shaq/Kobe/Duncan/TMac (pre-injury) and even AI for a few years around the early 2000s. But he was actually one of the elites at age 40 for sure. Especially for a guy who came out of retirement, smoking cigars and playing golf and gambling. Came back like he still had it in him. That’s why I believe he’s the Goat 🐐.

[@gseric4721]

@@leonli9453 I still find it crazy that MJ still finished his career having a higher 3-point field goal percentage than Scottie did. And by .01% XD

[@bobm.8429]

He was actually still dominating until he got injured. I remember him averaging somewhere around 28 or 29 ppg until he got injured. During that era, due to physicality of the game, reaching at an age of 35+ is already a miracle. That's the reason why the likes of Kobe, Steve Nash and even Dirk can play games regardless of the adversities they faced like Kobe still playing with a broken finger, steve playing with a broken nose, dirk playing with a flu. Nowadays, they're not going to play with even the slightest injury to them and they will be ruled out of the game for at least 2 weeks. 😂

[@1delacruzjuan]

40 year old???? And they say you’re not the GOAT. And they say you had a weak ass competition? Something is wrong in this world 🤦

[@MrEOM41]

@@hairjordan2620 well firstly, I don't like perennial winners, I am always with the underdogs. That's just me, though. ;) The main reason is simply that he does not have his young body anymore. He is slower, jumps lower, the hangtime is reduced. But there is still the elegance, the intelligence and the willpower. With these assets, he has to find new ways to overcome his opponents. Which, of course, he does. In some way, this is like his biggest victory to me, but maybe I am too romantic about this. :)
