Michael Jordan's World: How One Man OWNED the 90s

A look at the decade of the 1990s, the most singularly dominated decade in league history, which produced the greatest basketball peak of all time.

[@GtheGreat1]

Jordan dominated his decade greater than any other player in their decades (60, 70, 80, ect.). Its not up for debate who dominated the 90s but it is up for debate in EVERY other decade. Jordan is simply the greatest ever

[@skap_attack]

FACTS. Jordan DOMINATED his peers more than any player ever. To me, that makes him the all time GOAT.

Jordan is the GOAT, the accolades, advanced metrics, finals record, tv ratings and shoes sales identified him as that guy.😎

[@skap_attack]

Yes, yes, yes, yes and YES. I cannot disagree with anything you said. The GOAT of basketball and very serious contention for the greatest athlete in organized team sports history...

[@marcorances956]

As much as the NBA is licking Lefraud's nutsuck right now, they still put MJ on the pedestal alone at NBA Top 75. All the other legends surrounding him while MJ is front, top, and center. Even the NBA can't deny who the real GOAT is.

[@kingcaragious]

​@@skap_attack I agree. I can't say for sure he's the greatest athlete in organized team sports history (yes, I see you used "contention") but that claim is far more believable than LeBron James as the goat of basketball.

[@TeddyKGB12]

The only * on all that is that advanced stats and metrics are not applied to the era when Wilt played. If they were, his numbers would tower over everyone. Growing up in the 80s and 90s, I am a die-hard MJ fan, but even I have to admit that Wilt was the most dominant player ever. The NBA changed rules to try and slow him down.

[@giorgiogiorgetti3939]

Don't forget he doesn't lead the all time list on turnovers like LeSwept James. Also, he never cheated the game by flopping, whining, waiting for the referees to makes calls or load managing. Don't forget Jordan never joined super teams or left Chicago to team up with Barkley, or Malone or Miller or Ewing. LeBron teams have traded 188 players to make the """"King"""" happy. Jordan teams only 35 trades. More importantly, he never talked about politics or instilled the victimhood mentality to young kids.

Michael Jordan dominated, owned and ruled the NBA in the 1990s. The dude was must watch TV in the 1990s, 24/7, 365 days a year. The dude was a great competitor, he would do whatever it takes to win at all costs, he never complained and never needed a superteam and Skap Attack, MJ dominated the MBA in an era where Big Man was the main focus on offense and defense. MJ did it all. And I'll also say this, Hakeem Olajuwon winning his 2 championships is underrated. He won back to back championships around a team that was just average at best and he carried his team to back to back championships against way more harder competition. MJ is the GOAT and in my opinion, Hakeem is the greatest center of all time in my opinion. Hakeem needs more respect

[@skap_attack]

I agree completely with you on this. Hakeem is CRIMINALLY underrated due to his being overshadowed by the all time GOAT in the same decade.

[@stevefromny92]

Jordan to me is the Best to Ever do it because he dominated at the 2 in an era full of talented Bigs while not having one on his team. He also took the NBA Global. We could only speculate what would’ve been if he was to play all the 10 years but the expectations he set on himself was high and was never disappointing. Like 95 he lost to the Superteam Magic and came back the next year to sweep them and complete the second 3-peat after retiring for nearly 2 years. There are basketball fans today that wasn’t fans of the sport until MJ took it on a Global Scale.

[@jkemp6791]

LeBron apologists claim the 90s was an “easy” decade because Jordan won all the time. No one gives the Sonics, the Knicks and especially the Utah Jazz their due. Utah had probably the 3rd best PG all time. John Stockton was a machine of efficiency and lead the league in assists NINE seasons in a row. And the only reason Karl Malone isn’t considered the single greatest power forward of all time is… because of Michael Jordan. Tim Duncan won at the highest level. Malone didn’t. But stat-wise, Karl is clearly superior to Duncan, but Duncan elevated in the playoffs and Karl ran into MJ. MJ isn’t the Goat because he won against multiple dynasties. He’s the Goat because he PREVENTED multiple dynasties.

[@skap_attack]

These are all straight facts. The sonics and the Jazz are two of the greatest teams of all time to never win a title. The Jazz might be vying against the OKC Thunder for the top spot on that list...

[@moetoosmooth2741]

The 90s is easy but not because Jordan won. None of those other players are comparable to the other eras great. Charles Barkley is a 6’5 Power Forward. There was no Wilt Russell Kareem Magic Larry Kobe Lebron KD or Steph type players. David Robinson and Shaq were great but they were significantly younger than Jordan. The Jazz were so good they dropped 54 in a finals game. The warriors score that in a quarter during the 2010s with KD Steph and Klay combining for 70PPG a night of offense and that doesn’t include the role players lake Livingston Iguodala and Green. Also am I the only one that noticed Jordan’s production dived in the late 90s with the introduction of new era guards like Grant Hill Kobe and AI.

The 90’s was really for the love of the game. It wasn’t about trades, it wasn’t about contacts, it wasn’t about locker room drama… it was about the game. And when we did hear about drama, most of the time we hear about it much later on. Jordan will always be the goat to me… He did damage without relying on the 3 pointer. Then on top of that, you couldn’t foul the guy… and if you did, he was a reliable free throw shooter (while getting rest) on the free throw line. Jordan was must see tv. Great vid!

[@skap_attack]

It is so difficult to compare and contrast players from different eras. BUT if you look at EACH era, Jordan DESTROYED his in a way no other player has EVER come remotely close to. For that reason alone, without even taking into account the global and cultural impact Jordan made, he is the EASY GOAT to me as well. THANK YOU for watching. I appreciate you!!

[@jeemtheater]

This is so true that the 90s basketball was for the love of the game. The league will follow the face/the best player of the league and Jordan absolutely loved the game. The fact that the league follows the face of the league is the reason why the NBA is unwatchable to me now.

[@Leo-nn9vy]

Saying Hakeem could only win once MJ retired doesn't make sense because they've never clashed in a playoff series. That statement holds true to Patrick Ewing, Reggie Miller, Charles Barkley etc if they had won, cause all of them lost to Jordan but Hakeem vs Jordan never happened, so you can never know what could've happened. Jordan's the goat for sure, but saying Hakeem only won cause Jordan wasn't in the league is silly.

[@matthewhermes8839]

I don't think Jordan retiring is what allowed Hakeem to win his two titles, especially during the period the Bulls had no Horace Grant and no Dennis Rodman. The Rockets had a winning record against the Jordan Bulls during the first three-peat in the regular season due to Hakeem being a really bad matchup for the centers on the Bulls, but the issue was the supersonics were a bad matchup for the Rockets and kept the Rockets from getting out of the west to play their more favorable matchup in the Bulls. Everything else you said was good though.

[@truth1844]

@@matthewhermes8839 ...Facts are facts. Hakeem won nothing when Jordan dominated and they only had 2 good years which coincide with Jordan's retirement. It isn't rocket science. The Bulls had a basic center and it didn't matter. Hakeem won the first ring against a very young Shaq which is not impressive and against a Knicks team without a real superstar.

Hakeem routinely gets shit on because of the timeframe that he was unfortunate enough to play in. Clashed with the Magic Lakers and Bird Celtics in the 80s and then was overshadowed by Jordan in the 90s. I think Hakeem is a top 10 all time player and displayed arguably one of the 2-3 greatest peaks ever. Had to give him some run here. BUT, let's not get it twisted, Jordan's strangle hold on the 90s was unlike anyone else's ever. It isn't close. People might point to Russell's run in the 60s, but he wasn't close to the best individual player of that decade. That was Wilt. Jordan was essentially what it would look like if Russell won by dropping Wilt's individual numbers. He was the greatest combination of winning, individual dominance, stats, etc. It's WHY he is the EASY GOAT.

Barkley+KJ, Ewing+Starks, Kemp+Payton, Shaq+Penny, Reggie+Smits, and Stockton+Malone would have EASILY WON TITLES in their team's respective best seasons. Thus, their legacies would have greatly changed, particularly Malone (could have won 5 Scoring Titles and had an MVP 3-peat in addition to 2 titles) and Stockton (a stronger case for #1 PG when factoring in context of lacking the dynastic teammates of his 2 peers). Similar to the 80's, the 90's had the greatest player (plus the debatable contender) for all 5 positions (C: Hakeem/Kareem; PF: Mailman/Barkley; SF: Bird; SG: MJ; PG: Magic/Isiah/Stockton). As with the emerging stars of the 80's in their prime in the 90's, there were the dominant players of the 80's who were waning but still outstanding in the early part of the 90's. If excluding players who played significant seasons in both decades (at least 2 years for each decade in which they were key players, such as those above), here are the top-10ish all-time players of their respective positions who played more or less exclusively in one of the 2 decades: The 80's C: Kareem, Moses SF: Julius SG: Gervin, Moncrief The 90's C: Admiral, Duncan, Shaq, Alonzo PF: KG, Webber SG: Kobe PG: Glove, Kidd While the 80's debatably had more juggernaut teams (Lakers, Celtics, Pistons, Sixers), the 90's had a greater volume of historically top positional players.

another great vid SA....the impact of MJ then and even today is still being felt...we all miss the MJ era...(my era)..MJ was the reason i started watching and playing basketball...and i was on the other side of the world.....where no cellphones and internet had been invented...hahahah good old days!

[@dmar82]

Man, I miss the 90s but at the same time I am grateful I was able to grow up to this golden era of professional basketball. I remember watching the Bulls beat the SuperSonics back in 96' and MJ broke down and we all knew why. That was the year I said this dude is the goat and we will NEVER see another Michael Jordan again.

[@taharqaheru145]

Great video as usual😊

[@djkoolmonkey]

Thank you for explaining everything that was happening in this decade!

[@armandodelossantos736]

Jordan and Olajuwon, the best of the best! Nobody has come close to that level of greatness before or since them! Great video as always!

[@user-wx4et7pd1d]

Can't wait for that 2000's vid, definitely my favorite decade

[@uscgbmcmretired2490]

That's why I always said that if Lebron had played in the '90s, he would have ended up like Malone, Ewing, Barkley, etc. never winning a Championship until Michael retired!

[@spine--damaged]

One very relevant fact missing from this video: 626 game streak MJ played without losing 3 games in a row, from 90-98. WINNING!! If that's not era dominance I don't know what it is. Truly on a league of his own, the GOAT.

[@jakejohansen1889]

Bill Russell won championships from in 1957& 1959, plus 1960-66, & 1968-1969. Bill Russel was easily the standout, most dominant player of the 1960's. Basketball Time Machine should do a video on that amazing accomplishment by Bill Russell.

As a Rocket fan that saw virtually every game Akeem/Hakeem played in college and the NBA, it would have been a lot of fun to see a Rockets Bulls finals (or two). Olajuwon was just a beast in those two seasons at his peak prime.

[@hollins625]

Thanks for giving credit to the mailman! To me he is criminally underrated due to never playing for title winning Team. With one title in the 90s he probably would be top 10 All Time due to his incredible longevity. You could have mentioned Timmy D who was a 2x First Teamer, Champ and Finals MVP in the 90s and would have been a great opponent for MJ if he hadn't retired (again).

[@superZvegetto]

From 87-93, we will never see see a player this consistently elegant & perfect without a stop. Honestly, he wouldn't even needed 96-98 to prove he is the goat. Kobe (2002-03) LeBron (2011-2012) are the only seasons I've ever seen good enough to match any of Jordan's, but that would be all. No one can just top Jordan.

Thank you so much. This was a wonderful video that took me back to the 90s. I remember he times I just didn't know the stats. Thank you so much. Living in L.A. and I watched all of Jordan's game on WGN I just wish you wouldn't have taken off and played baseball. Would of liked to see him. Play Houston those two years Houston won...😊👍

i grew up watching 90s basketball with my dad, who is a hardcore MJ and bulls fans... one of his goals in life was to visit the united center and watch a bulls game live... coming from a third world country, that seemed like a fleeting dream, but with hard work and patience, our family managed to save up enough to go on vacation in the US... when we finally got to chicago, my dad cried outside the united center and cried even more as the game started, one of his greatest dreams finally coming true...

[@kennethharrison9409]

Skap, everyone that contributes to this show, along with your narration. This is the reason why I still wonder why people still watch shows like ESPN. You bring stats that no one else does, just like no one has ever done anything like this before.

When you put it that way what Jordan did is inspirational.

Thanks for the shoutout to hakeem, its crazy Hakeem hes not in top 5 with him dominating all the best centers and power forwards in nba history

If micheal played in today s era he would scored 45 points per game

[@andrewcook1246]

How? He ain't avg 25fga per game in today'a game and he's bad at 3's. He's averaging at most his career high of 37ppg for which he needed 28fga per game and 12 free throws.

[@skap_attack]

I really believe that is true.

[@jkemp6791]

@@andrewcook1246 - He taught himself to shoot while in the NBA. You think he wouldn’t focus on 3 pt shooting in a league that’s different? You understand Jordan out-worked literally everyone else, right? That’s a straight bozo take.

[@andrewcook1246]

@@jkemp6791 avg 28% from 3pt land if you remove the 3 seasons with a shorter line. The hardest worker took 6 seasons to crack 30% and plenty of players who played without a 3pt shot in college were avg 40% from 3 during this time. MJ shot above league avg 35% 2x during his career in a normal line. He got worse actually in 91 and 92 after a decent 1990 season. Sbot is awfully in his wizards years too and in 98 it took a huve dive after reverting to a normal line. Look kid MJ has a goat case and is unquestionably a top 10 player ever and the best to do it as the SG position. But he can't have it all. He was a lousy 3 pt shooter for the same reason he was amazing from midrange: long hands and big arms. I've only seen kawhi and KD shoot the ball well with big hands and long arms.

[@housepumpinpc3983]

You didn't post like the 1st 3 decades. The title reads How One Man Owned the 90s. Worked yesterday so I didn't get a chance to check this out and man you didn't disappoint. I wish you mentioned the 99 Spurs. The reason I mean is the 99 Spurs were the same team eliminated by the 98 Jazz in the WCF. We can only speculate, imagine if Reinsdorf let everyone come back 1 more year? Could those Spurs beat that Bulls team? I say Ewing doesn't go down, the Spurs may have not beat the 8th seeded Knicks. I think they were the 1st 8 seed to make it to the finals until this Pop Warner decade of the Heat doing it 2 times and doing one as a play-in. Thanks Skap. Can't wait for Kobe Bean 2000s.

[@seebbsss]

can't wait for next episode, 2000s and 2010s I believe are the hardest to call a GOAT from, Having Kobe, Duncan, Curry and every other great putting great numbers and chips really makes me wonder (and yes Lechoke is not even in my top 5 of the 2000s or 2010s not to mention all time)
