Michael Jordan's TOP 5 playoff game-winning shots |

Michael's "WILL" was unmatchable. His desire to win unparalleled.

A 3peat would have been enough for any all-time great. But to return and have the will to get another 3peat is GOAT-level determination.

That "WILL" didnt prevent MJ from getting slapped silly and eliminated in the playoffs THREE years in a row by the Bad Boy Pistons The "JORDAN RULES" humiliated and exposed MJ as a creampuff ballhog who played the wrong way from 1988-1990 lol

[@jordanjenkins1671]

I was born after the first 3peat happened so I was too young to witness Jordan live. But I watched his flu game on Hulu or KZbin and was impressed to see how Jordan would go on scoring tears when the Bulls fell behind by double-digits, twice. He'd go on a scoring tear to bring the game score to a tie or small margin, and allow his teammates to use that momentum he built to get themselves going again. This game was in SLC and the Jazz started the game really hot. That's true leadership.

[@Daveyboy_RS3]

That sequence of 4 consecutive individual plays by Jordan is the greatest sequence in pro sports history. With under 1 minute 1. MJ hits 2 free throws 2. Followed by a rocket booster layup taking only 3 seconds off the clock after the inbound, in an attempt to get 2 for 1. 3. On defense, leaves his man (Hornacek) and sneaks up and pickpockets Malone. 4. Takes the ball up court, crosses Brian Russell, who with that momentum almost ended up in the parking lot, and Jordan hits the championship dagger jump shot. Can anyone think of a more storybook and fitting ending for the one true greatest of all time. And this is why LeBron will never retire... He can't (In his own mind) retire after a first round exit. He needs to leave on a high note. But he'll never win a Scoring Title, MVP, FMVP, DPOY, etc So all he can hope for is bringing another star over to LA next season to try and sneak a quick ring in a feeble attempt to cement his GOAT status. Problem is he's not even close, and even another ring means nothing.

[@ForEducationalPurposesOnly]

My guy, how could you not forget one of the most important factors when you're talking about Jordan scoring ability? That's a he wasn't only scoring more than half their points in a more physical era, but he was doing it off mostly two pointers and free throws. He wasn't scoring 40 points off of eight three-point attempts. He wasn't scoring 50 points with 12 three-point attempts. This guy was getting it the hard way off of driving into actual centers and power forwards mauling him while getting hacked on the way to the basket off of twos and free throws and still managing an over 50% shooting clip absolute Insanity

[@m74d3]

It's absolutely insane that anyone could think lebron is better. Greene said it perfectly: "Michael Jordan is the greatest freaking player ever and it isn't particularly close"

[@martymcfly8449]

Lebron is easily a better player. It’s not even close. Jordan took 40 shots a game so he lead the league in scoring a bunch. He couldn’t shoot the 3 he didn’t rebound he didn’t assist the ball and he was never an elite defender. It’s no way you can watch Jordan highlights and then watch Lebrons and say Jordan was better unless you riding his meat.

[@just_jeff4839]

I think that is one of the things that gets missed when you just look at stats. He accounted for over 50% of the Bull's offense in that 1998 game, that's absolutely crazy. Every single defender knew MJ was going to eventually get his hands on the ball and they still couldn't do anything about it. I don't know if this is even tracked but MJ has to be one of the most double, and triple teamed basketball player ever. Nearly every single time MJ attacked the basket there was a defender there waiting to challenge. It's not only because they played tougher defense then, but also he's only a 6'6 220lb guard. He looks like someone you can challenge at the rim and they did... and failed, almost all the time. Go watch his highlights of him dunking, it's almost always on someone’s head, if not a coupe dudes heads.
