[@vincentjohnflorio]

What gets me is how often he'll shoot *right* away, like the same split second he gets the ball, takes a shot in place after framing himself / getting the right angle to face the basket, firing the thing and it's perfect. And sometimes it's juuuuust off enough to look like a hard/awkward shot. I know a highlight video isn't always going to show misses, so sometimes it doesn't work out, but the sheer volume of shots that would look like they'd suck to take that he bangs off perfectly means he knew exactly what he wanted to do.

What separates MJ from everyone else is how he fused his tremendous physical gifts with the efficiency he was taught at North Carolina by Coach Dean Smith. No wasted motion. No excess dribbling. The thing about the truly great players is, sometimes they beat you with the jab. If MJ had the fadeaway going, you got that all night. No need to play around with anything else. He was so great because he distilled the game down to simple terms...take high quality shots, play at 100%, and limit mistakes. No one has done it better.

I defy anyone in this comment section to go pick up double-A baseball at the age of 30 & hit even close to .200...), things likely wouldn't have been the same. He needed the time away from the court to find himself again. Mike never lost a final. If he hadn't stepped away, he might've lost a final. But he never did. That's one of the best notches on his belt, which says "Greatest Of All Time". He needed that break.

One of the most complete players in the history of basketball because of his ability to fill any stat line his team needed him to fill. If they needed him to score he could score if they needed him to assist he could assist if they needed a steal he'd get the steal if they needed a rebound he'd get the rebound! Above a seven foot center! The best quote for Michael Jordan ever is the one where I believe it was a Seattle SuperSonics announcer said that he'll do whatever he has to do to beat you...

What a move in the 4th quarter michael crossed over and drove in the lane elevated with the left hand and made it also when he made contact with Barkley and shot it up and made it so graceful and strong and unstoppable know one did stop him at will Michael Jordan is the goat in my opinion

[@BigDiscussions76]

That first three-peat and Bulls team was my favorite. Once they beat Detroit, it seemed like it would just go on forever. Little did we know that his Dad would be murdered later that summer he'd retire and go play baseball. It's still surreal.

[@pomerlain8924]

Majerle can thank Jerry Krause. Jerry liked Majerle and that eas enough for Michael to take it personal. And when he takes it personal, you're a dead man walking.

[@JasonWindsor88]

I mean we all know how he could elevate but watching it in these old games blows my mind; the way he floated upward toward the basket is out of this world

[@Teezythegoat]

So many of these shots that he passed on and drove would’ve been 3s if he had played today. He could’ve had 60. Wish I could’ve watched this man play live.🐐

[@BigLar56321]

I was fortunate to have the chance twice, and both were epic games. You couldn’t believe what you were seeing- it was so sick. You’d just gasp, over and over, and marvel at the nearly impossible athleticism.

Imagine being a fan of someone who scored 17 points in Nba finals in his prime against 37yold Jason Kidd, 32yold Dirk Nowizki, 33yold Jason Terry and JJ Barea and then have the audacity to come here mocking and complaining about this defense LMAO.

[@anwaranfield1324]

exactly, when the narrative Magic Johnson uttered was, "How can Lebron James stop Jason Terry!" ??????? That's like in Michael Jordan's prime the narrative read before the game how can Michael Jordan stop Cliff Robinson? Lebron in inconsistent with his killer mentality. The players are living like Gods now, I mean Lebron comes to a Lakers game sipping on a glass of wine? They aren't hungry anymore.

[@ycf922]

imagine believing that jordan can beat a 73 wins warriors down 1-3, jordan is not on the king's level mate. Lebron is better in every category

[@sinaftw]

@@ycf922 MJ was a winner. Lebron just whines and cries about everything... 3-6 not my goat..

[@jamessalomon1196]

@@ycf922 Jordan would average 45+ against the Warriors' cupcake defense with no hand checking and no interior defense. The ONLY way to stop MJ from getting to the rim was with a dominant defensive center and physical team defense, which the Warriors don't have. That same Warriors team was down 3-1 to the Durant-Westbrook Thunder in the Western Conference Finals. The 2017-2018 Warriors with Kevin Durant were MUCH better than the 2016 Warriors who choked. 73 wins means nothing if you choke and lose at the end. Jordan would never get down 3-1 to those losers in the first place...the '96 Bulls would either SWEEP THEM or beat them in 5. I watched every nationally televised Bulls game from 1989 to 1998 and beyond, and watched Jordan play in his prime 6 times in person. I already know I'm 100% right. There's literally nothing Lebron does that Jordan couldn't do just as well or better. Lebron plays in the worst defensive era since the 1940s so all of his stats are INFLATED, while Jordan played in the toughest defensive era ever so his stats all mean more. The NBA changed the defensive rules in 2001 and 2004 to make it easier to score to improve ratings after Jordan retired. All of the offensive stats now are inflated, and even Luka Doncic said it's easier to score in the NBA than in Europe. Nobody said that in the '90s. You never watched Jordan play and know nothing about his career, while I'm an expert on the last 3 decades of NBA history.

[@Sailarful]

yeah, every category, too bad MJ has the highest PER in both RS and playoff history lol. Jordan can't beat warriors? a discount version of MJ aka Leonard beated them lol

[@cck523]

Ok, people act like Jordan just had this star studded team. Without him there, at least at this time, they’d be average at best. He controlled the tempo on offense and played his heart out on DEFENSE. There’s a reason why he is the one and only GOAT.

[@jamesmarhen]

I think Jordan was the best ever but this team won 55 games the next year without him and took the Eastern Conference champ to 7 games. They were far better than an average team.

[@HDGuruGuy]

I hope you kids out there get a better understanding of how great this man was! Those drives to the rim...mannn those hands....finger rolling!

[@timbuckthe2nd642]

they will never understand... rather unfortunate.

you dont need to explain to them they will never understand we are lucky to have watched him play every week what a wonderful time to be alive

[@ronaldhuey2619]

The real story here is Jordan was frustrated with the refs because they missed a number of foul calls in the previous game when he drove to the basket. So he was gonna relentlessly keep driving the ball and force the refs to call fouls. Mission accomplished. GOAT

[@plainsimple244]

Jordan put his nuts on this game because Phoenix had all the juice and Jordan just took it from them bringing Chicago to a 3-1 lead... once the Bulls got this lit, that series was over no matter vat.

[@deez9805]

I just wanna say this series is proof as to how good Chuck really was. If you look at this Suns roster, they have NO ONE who could keep MJ from averaging 40 like he did. He avg 30 on the best defenders and this team doesn’t have any of those guys, plus no rim protection. It doesn’t even shock me that he put up those numbers. But for Barkley to lead his team and force this series to 6 with those kind of odds against him is crazy. Took an L but he was imo the best player MJ faced in the finals and one of the underrated 🐐s of the 90s.

[@hybrid1339]

Yeah I agree, Barkley was the MVP for a reason and you right about that sun's team, they were good, but honestly didn't have the defenders to stop Mike at all..it really is a true testament of how good Barkley was to lead that team..such a shame he ran into Mike in those finals..

[@siphillis]

When Jordan scores the And-1 on Barkley, Charles takes a good long time getting back up, and looks visibly broken when he does. Just the thought that Jordan can drop 55 points to beat you must've been utterly demoralizing.

[@cyber6sapien]

Charles genuinely thought he was the league's best player before this series started. He promised his little daughter that the Suns would win the title. After the series was over he had to apologize to his daughter. He talked about it on Open Court.

[@edwardoutlawjr8154]

Chuck didn't play poorly in this series. He actually played great. Phoenix had no answers for Mike.

[@edwardoutlawjr8154]

Mike and the Bulls knocked Barkley and the Sixers out the playoffs '90 and '91. So, yes that had to be demoralizing for Chuck taking that foul and having MJ make the basket.
