what's funny is that Kobe is the closest to MJ, but in actuality a far cry from MJ. He thought he was better than MJ in his mind, but he thought wrong. MJ said once that the only player that could "beat him" was Kobe, simply because Kobe stole all his moves (and MJ coached him quite a bit). However it was just his humbleness that made him say that though as MJ is in a league of his own. All these "GOAT" discussions these days is just pumped by the NBA to make themselves look good once again - Lebron is not even close to Kobe, let alone MJ, and today's youth are being fed garbage with garbage comparisons. The NBA is losing viewership and growth as more and more people realise how boring the current "professional" league is.

It is fascinating to think how you could make a good documentary of every historical shot that MJ made. All of his clutch play, which are dozens of it. And people, even though they know the result, would still feel in awe of it. Crazy MJ has that GOAT mentality. An embodiment of winning.

Funny how they compare players who doesn't have half the game, athleticism, heart, or memorable moments/shots

Hi Nick! Big fan of your videos and this series in particular, keep up the good work! I just wanted to point out that at about 4 minutes into the video there's a weird overlay betweent two music tracks (I guess one is from the Last Dance documentary). Anyway, not hating, just to let you know and help you keep improving

For those who don't know... that Cavs team was a great one! As a Bulls fan, I distinctly remember Harp as THEE Jordan stopper on that team!

This sort of explains why mike is tough on teammates, he had to go through really difficult teams and took major beatings to finally get a chance to succeed. He knew early on what it took, he was probably overly abusive at times but in the end they won...

"Stay with me, I'm going to get free!" Not an ounce of negativity or uncertainty despite what seemed to be an almost impossible task. It's never over until it's over as far this guy is concerned. This is why we love this dude so much. The greatest to ever grace the courts ...hands down!
