MJ never played in a game 7 in the finals. That was Game 6. Bulls led the series 3-2 before he hit that shot.

[@samwise1982]

For those who didn't live through this era, it's hard to understand how impactful Michael was. He wasn't just the greatest ever because of his skill, but equally combined with determination, guts and heart. His playing didn't just elevate his team, but the entire sport. He even elevated the color red. No joke. The Jordan era elevated the NBA to the top status in sports it has today. Because of it, the league expanded, basketball movies suddenly became hot and were being pumped out by Hollywood by the dozen (Blue Chips, Basketball Diaries, White Men Can't Jump, The Air Up There, Space Jam etc.) and suburban kids across the world suddenly wanted to be like Mike. Basketball began to take over baseball as America's national sport as basketball courts began to pop up everywhere and added to nearly every school across the country that previously had none. He was the most significant, widespread black role model for children of all races and embedded himself as part of the culture. Michael Jordan may have influenced Western society more than anyone during the 90s.

Glad you mentioned power. We know about the body control, dunks, hang time and reverse layups. The rings, the shoes, the 9 all defensive 1st teams with the tongue hanging out. I can go on, but you don't often hear who powerful he was. Just look at this video, Mutumbo, Mourning, Ewing, Robinson, Barkley, etc ...

[@prestozable]

@@roboninja3194 Lebron is a once in forever player too, he scores better than anyone ever, is a high level passer, rebounder and one of the most versatile defenders ever.

[@theresak2024]

@@prestozable Sorry Presto but MJ is widely regarded as the greatest Scorer of all time, hence his 10 Scoring Titles in 13 full seasons in the NBA. He also has the highest PPG (both regular season + playoffs) in NBA history! Lebron has 1 Scoring Title and 1 Assists Title despite having played in the NBA for over 20 years. Jordan’s domination of the Advanced (per game) Stats have held up to challenges from LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and numerous others in the generations that followed in his footsteps. His reputation as the GOAT is not merely a media creation or the product of ring-counting - it has withstood the tests of both time and science! MJ mixed scoring volume and shooting efficiency better than just about any player in history. Over his career, he averaged 30.2 pace-adjusted points per 36 minutes (in a very physical era), easily the most of any qualified player since 1977. He remains the NBA’s all-time career leader in Win Shares per 48 minutes, Player Efficiency Rating, RAPTOR's plus/minus and he owns the greatest single-game performance (Game Score) ever for his 69-point, 18-rebound effort against the Cleveland Cavaliers from 1990! Additionally, MJ is widely regarded as the greatest, most efficient mid-range shooter of all time - his career shooting % is 50% which is incredible given that over 60% of Jordan's career shots were taken from mid-range (outside 3 feet)... Lebron, on the other hand, (from outside 3 feet) shoots 37.5% - Regular Season, 35.9% - Playoffs and just 31.7% - Finals... unsurprisingly, more than 1 of every 3 of Lebron's shots are taken from within 0-3 feet of the basket. What are we talking about here! There's no debate or comparison! MJ's Team + Individual Accolades, in addition to his all-time lead in Advanced (per game) Stats (+ the Eye Test) clearly show his Offensive Superiority but crucially they also reveal his significant Defensive superiority... - 9x All-Defensive 1st Team (Tied-record with Payton, Kobe, Garnett) - 10x Top 8 in DPOY voting (T-record with Duncan, Hakeem, Garnett) - 7x Top 5 in DPOY voting (9x Mutombo, 9x Robinson, 8x Hakeem, 7x Rodman) - 3rd place in 1992 DPOY (Robinson, Rodman) - 2nd place in 1993 DPOY (Hakeem) - won DPOY in 1988 (ahead of Hakeem, Eaton, Cooper, Robertson, Ewing) along with MVP + Scoring Title - 10 Playoffs averaging 2+ steals/game (record) - 3 Steals Titles - led his Team in Defensive Win Shares for TEN Seasons! Lebron, comparatively, has just 5 selections to the All-Defensive 1st Team despite playing for over 20 years and has no DPOY (finished 2nd in dpoy voting on 2 occasions), he led his team in defensive Win Shares on just 4 occasions. One of the most versatile defenders ever, you say?? James has spent less than 5% of his total career minutes guarding players 1 or 5...so I think you'll agree that the versatility claim is massively exaggerated. Additionally, Lebron's last selection to the All-Defensive 1st Team was way back in 2013 at age 29... he hasn't played elite defense for a decade (this contributes significantly to his Longevity, that and his load management). In a nutshell, Jordan was undoubtedly the better on ball defender with a lot more steals that weren't interceptions, he was also very effective at blocking big men's fadeaways by coming from the side, unseen...Just a more dangerous defensive match-up than James. MJ was also by far the better perimeter defender. I didn't intend to write this much, there are just so many differences between these 2 players - it's difficult to summarize! I truly believe the worst decision Lebron made in his career was to 'chase the Ghost in Chicago'... that chase has been ongoing now for 20 years and MJ is still miles ahead. Lebron is a great player and his longevity/durability has led to him passing Kareem in All-Time points...he has several strengths on the court but he also has several obvious flaws... flaws that are blinding when compared to a player like MJ who had no weaknesses. There is a reason why all other players are compared to Jordan, there's a reason why he remains the gold standard in basketball... he is the Prototype... The GOAT.

Out of all the things that could anger me about the newer style of NBA, it's only the flopping that I can't stand. Especially since the game isn't near as physical as it used to be.

If Jordan didn’t retire in the middle of his career, he would probably have 8 straight rings

[@fivehundrediq5212]

That’s a big if, considering Jordan has a losing record against the Rockets

[@kaytomp27]

@@fivehundrediq5212 true but if they met in the finals i think that would change

[@GoGetYourShinebox]

@@fivehundrediq5212 MJ & the Bulls were a different animal in the Playoffs. But I think The Rockets prob would have snatched 1 ring if they met… prob in 94 as the Bulls were exhausted after 3 straight rings

THe bulls lost in six to a Magic team that got swept by Houston.

[@soul2cold777]

@@sergeant1446 the very season he just came back from baseball lol, what happened the year after that against that same magic team? They swept them … FOH

[@troydamm830]

The fact that this man was out of basketball for 3 years to come back in 3-peat again is still just mind-boggling to me. There's no goat debate in my mind.

[@blankshell]

A year and a half. Not 3 years. Just so you're educated about things. Still, to 3-peat after that is very impressive.

[@mychalson_bot5994]

Mind you he left to go play minor league baseball. Which that in itself is no easy feat. Just so thats clear as well.

[@troydamm830]

@@blankshell okay so after educating myself. I've realized that it was two seasons, not three (and I said years but meant seasons). I apologize for any misinformation 😬. Blankshell is absolutely correct. He retired October of 93 and came back March of 95.

[@dancomber9768]

was only 18 months between the two 3-peats

[@dehro]

@@mychalson_bot5994 to a point.. MJ was so big back in the day that if he had wanted a spot on the national swimming team they would have given it to him whether he could swim or not... yes, he went to play minor league, but he was mostly laughed at, during his stint playing baseball... which is probably a good thing or we would not have seen his second 3peat..

[@bretkaiser7355]

That is why we call him "Your Airness." The man only came down to Earth for practice and game day.

[@davesblunderfulkitchen1583]

Watching MJ play growing up I held my breath every time he had the ball, usually ending in a dramatic OMFG how did he did that!?!?!?! He will always be the GOAT in my eyes.❤️

[@ToeTagga007]

I grew up in Chicago and when the Bulls were on television everyone was glued to the tube waiting to see what Mike was gonna do next. There’s no question who the real 🐐 is

[@thejokersonyou]

The most underrated part of his game... Natural talent... His ability to COMPLETELY palm the ball... His one handed control of a basketball in full speed motion was craaaaaaaaazy

[@Nick9Three]

Many have intimated, none have duplicated. # *23* 🐐 The stories surrounding this man are something of legend. The story of him going golfing before a playoff game, drinking an 18 pack and then making a personal bet that he would drop 50, and then did just that.

[@theprodigy4202]

I'm in tears at some of my dude's reactions: Minute 13:33 "He missed the block and still got the block!?!" "I'm just trying to figure out how he be staying in the air for so long.." NOW, y'all have a TASTE, and can now see (simply going by the eye test) why Michael Jeffrey Jordan is simply, (was and forever) The GOAT 🐐

[@joss2345]

Man you get birth at the wrong Era. Watching Jordan's career and living the 80' and 90' was the best of the best

[@latravisalexander9049]

💯

The MJ vs Jazz was game 6

[@ZartanXL]

No grown man wants to be like Bron. Mikes the greatest ever on any sport level. You put the greatest of any sport through all times in a room with MJ, theyd be coming out carrying his bags.

[@moxbroker]

The thing about Jordan coming to town is you felt privileged to see him crush your team.

[@JayEm312]

Well said.

[@ascensionenergy]

True

[@donchichivagabond1578]

And not feel disrespected. He was also an amazing leader. He wasn't a gloater.

[@jrob6715]

True. Even fans of the other team cheered him on.

[@victorcastro735]

Facts even doh I was an mj fan still am but yeah

[@TheBlbeemer]

They weren't embarrassed... They were terrified of Michael Jordan.

[@kavorkian420]

Michael Jordan is the greatest player ever! I'm from Chicago and I got a chance to see him play. He's in a class all by himself.

[@allenthomas182]

I’m from Chicago to, got to go to a few games, best of time I’ll never forget!

[@Chosen1sLightWorkersStarSeeds]

I'm from Chicago to. Never seen him live but watched his whole career. He is not a normal athlete. He had to sell his soul to the devil or something cuz people ain't supposed to do dis type shit on a regular basis. I mean damn

[@ariesindigo3479]

Hands down MJ23 the greatest athlete in history... His determination in every game, his passion and almost manic behavior to win, even when he was sick, he'd push through and that kind of mentality also pushes his teammates to do better.. he's a legend in any era.. he never gives up until the end of the game, not until the final buzzer sounds.. nope, not MJ...

[@gregras2577]

Bobby night said he'd never seen an athlete like mike. Bobby coached a lot of greats....

[@robertporter1143]

Word!

[@raymondlinares8307]

What a privilege to be alive and to witness an artist like MJ work. Technically masterful, mentally a titan, no fear and 100% about going at it every night. Everyone to ever play the game will be chasing his ghost forever. Greatest to ever do it

[@mikeleilanimagee4404]

90s bulls was must watch tv ! Never saw anything like it since !!! Jordan =G.O.A.T !

[@oninofernandez]

"He missed a block and still got the block!?" - You made my day with this.

[@sligen]

I'm not a big sports fan don't really get into watching Basketball, Football etc. But when I was younger and MJ's Bulls were playing on TV I would watch. Just the way he played would make anyone stop to watch him play. He was Poetry in motion and defied gravity, that made you just watch in awe.

[@OldBadGamer614]

This is basically how it was for me also, was always a huge football fan and watched religiously but anytime Jordan was playing, I watched, no real words you can say to explain just how good he was and how much better he was then everyone else. It was the same with Tiger Woods for me, any time he was on tv I was watching and I didnt give one single crap about golf lol

[@bangkokrealestate7292]

MJ was two ways player. He was in "defensive player of the year " for many years. His mental toughness to be great was in another level. We can adapt his success method to use in our life. I remember that his name even could recognize to most of the people that dont know much about basketball at that time. That was insane.

[@Brother_from_Oz]

My teenage years was watching this man - taking names. He was every young kids - superhero - mentor - role model. A young man would want to strive for. The perfection of a American male from the 90s - to strive for. Morals - politically - ethically - iconically- intelligently - hard work = perfection = results - all rolled in one- man. Michael Jeffery Jordon ‘23. The ONLY Goat - all my himself. No flopping No pandering to refs for fouls No teaming up with superstar players to get a chip No sacking teammates or coaches No disrespecting the greats before him No victimhood in this video etc etc….
