Jordan is in the top 1% athletically to ever play yet he’s the hardest worker of them all. 82 games he gave this kind of effort. And then turned it up in the playoffs. They’ll never be another #23 🐐

[@nonyobussiness3440]

He was not the hardest worker lol

[@x-man9473]

@@nonyobussiness3440 He was definitely the hardest worker.

[@nonyobussiness3440]

@@x-man9473 he worked harder then a lot of people but no he did not work the hardest. He’ll he didn’t even practice as much as the bulls role players. They had to do more practices then the 3 stars. Kobe worked way harder. Lebron does too. That being said mj was an athletic freak and basketball savant. He was one of the first to include athletic conditioning, weight lifting and was the first athletic guy that bothered to learn fundamentals. All these things are common place now. MJ could not work harder than most top guys due to overtraining and the increased risk of injury. I take it you’ve never trained in athletics. He did not work harder than boxers, college wrestlers, swimmers in his day. Boxing, mma, wrestling, swimming, gymnastics are the most grueling sports in terms of training.

[@x-man9473]

@@nonyobussiness3440 So because you make things up, that supposedly proves your point? lol

[@1SuperD1]

So because MJ didn’t participate in team practice as much he’s not one of the hardest workers? He did intense training including basketball training, weight training, and athletic training not to mention the studying that he did to learn how to beat teams as well as to develop his game. Iverson was right about practice. If you carry your team to a championship over and over who cares about practice 😂

When MJ played basketball, Everybody always think it was his prime coz He's always on top of the game👊👊👊

[@cinemaster9012]

He was so versatile, he had two different primes: his athletic prime from 1984-1990 and his skill prime from 1993-1998. As he became less athletic he started to polish his fundamentals and he ended up mastering them

@Shove This L Up Your Ass No I'm not. The problem is that the frame of reference of fanboys like yourself, only seems to extend back to the 2nd 3-peat (if that). So y'all think that those are his prime years. But anybody who actually saw his career in its entirety, knows that there's a CLEAR DISTINCTION (and big difference) between late 80s/early 90s MJ, vs 2nd 3-peat MJ. He physically was not same player during those 3-peat latter seasons, that he was during the former. Why do you think the fade-a-way became the staple of his game during the 2nd 3-peat? It's because he physically could no longer do what he used to be able to do in his prime. I'm sorry to burst ya bubble, but y'all simply missed the best version of him...

[@ead838]

The 90s what a beautiful time. Especially in basketball. Each team had a star and potential star and teams use to play actually defense. So it wasn’t a cake walk to finals. These teams like Toronto use push MJ and the bulls to the max.

[@toveychow3635]

Glendon Chin lololol. You don’t know basketball well. The rules changed. 1. No hand check. 2. Three sec defense violation. 3. Non contest zone under the rim. These 3 rules open the lane and allow small guards shoot 3s and penetrate. Lololol. You are just way too simple and naive. In 99 when the rules started to change, ppl already predicted it will be the quick small guards world. Do u know Derek Harper? He was called strongest hands in nba. He hand checked small guards like a puppy dog in the old days. HAND CHECK. Look at today’s game. Only 3s and dunks. Google 200 hottest spots on court in last decade. No single mid range spot. Only rim and 3s. Boooorrrrriiiinnnggg!

@tony tonyt Jordan would do fine in today's game, especially with the amount of spacing there is on the floor. Getting to the hoop would be a breeze, as would be finding spots on the floor for his jumper. He would have to work on his 3 point shot though, but given Jordan's work ethic I wouldn't doubt for a second he would improve. That being said, people often forget the 80's had HUGE scoring averages and that they actually WENT DOWN in the 90's largely due to expansion.
