[@simplysimple7628]

Ditto. I’m a 78’ born and was 5 when he was drafted. I was young but I was a fan of basketball even at that age because of uncles and my grandpa who were deep deep sports fanatics during the bird/magic era. I witnessed it all. From his insane boston games to his first championship to his last. Must watch TV was when he played. Those days. The feeling was incredible. They played so hard man. The whole dam league did. Not just MJ. It was a defensively great league then. Scoring was just secondary to it. It came as a result of great defensive efficiency. Not only that but teams then stayed together longer. They had amazing chemistry. Players knew eachothers strengths and weaknesses. It’s hard to explain but those days were just insanely great. Miss it dearly……🙏🏼😔👍🏼🤙🏼✊🏼

Not suprising in the least. No question in my mind he thought about doing that all summer and all regular season. Name me another player who could sweep Shaq & Penny, and put up 45 just cause that's what he wanted to do. He could've put up 55 if he wanted, but he wanted to make a point.

Michael wouldn’t average 50 or 60. First he wouldn’t be taking 85% of his teams shots. Second just like he didn’t win any championships until he was paired with Pippen and Rodman and a great supporting cast. Third, because he was the only thing keeping the NBA afloat at that particular time, they gave him special treatment.

I've probably spent more time watching highlights of him then watching Lebron (who I really dislike) play in real time. As a fan and former player, Mike has the most electric game I have ever seen, maybe on both ends of the court, and his mentality, although I am sure was tough to be around at times, is what led to his success. He also didn't try to get coaches fired if they didn't succeed like Lebron. He tried to strengthen the relationship. He took full accountability which I appreciate. I'll show my kids him as an athlete to emulate. Lol may leave the socking Steve Kerr in practice out thought.

I am from Serbia, Europe. In the 90's the whole country was under embargo (we couldnt buy a coca cola or milka chocolate in stores) nothing from the outside gets in, from 91 to 2000 and i was wearing Chicago bulls basketball shoes and shouting "Joorddaan!" while shooting a ball on a court in the neihborhood... Its insane how far he reached the world.

[@BigK0003]

can confirm. I was NOT a basketball fan as a kid. I was a MJ fan. My little brother was a Shaq fan. We got in some heated arguments as some youngsters lmao

Back when they play defense

[@Novastar6]

For those who know, know. MJ will forever be the GOAT. We'll never see anyone like him again period.

[@AndraeRansom]

I’m so glad I grew up as a teenager in this era and saw MJ live. However, as a Central Florida native, MJ brought many tears to us in the Orlando Arena, now known as Amway Center. To live in the (4 0 7) and see the Orlando Magic in person from 92-96’, what a time to be alive!

I never get tired of hearing stories from this era!💯🔥

[@dollarsignhtotheo2dubbs579]

Nick Anderson, a born and raised Chi town GOAT, stealing it from the legendary Bulls GOAT in such a big moment. Legendary. 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@crosion5]

He had a court presence unlike any player before or since. He is the greatest. No doubt. Nobody will ever surpass him.

[@steviecritiquenewby7874]

Michael Air Jordan is the greatest I ever seen 🏀🐐💯

[@lawrencesmith2629]

I'm glad I was growing up watching the old NBA on NBC LOL I swear I'm so thankful for that basketball was better they played defense back then

[@jamesroberts1504]

Watching the Bulls play on NBA on NBC in the 90s was pure...Magic!

[@zzzzoom6387]

MJ eyes were scary when he got mad..his serious face wasn't nothing to play with

[@aaronmyers6540]

Great video bro!!…got to relive one of the greatest NBA moments ever…keep goin bro

[@babibau2781]

My man dropping 30,40,50 almost every freaking night, do defense at the other end....playoffs, regular season....doesn't matter. Y'all can say whatever you want but this man introduced NBA to the world that is why he will always be me GOAT.

[@flee4urlives]

MJ23 is the GOAT all day in every way. Dude did it all on offense and defense.

[@danieldiggs9574]

What may be forgotten by some is the next season came around and the Bulls went 72-10. The first time they played Orlando early in the season Orlando actually beat them and without Shaq. Penny went off for like 38 points that game and I believe handed Chicago their first loss of the season without Shaq. That's when the media started to call Orlando Penny's team by some and the rift between Shaq/Penny camp began as later on that season Reebok did a commercial with Shaq and at the end of it he knocked a lookalike Lil Penny off the chair and following year was in LA. I know Penny and Shaq all good these days but sadly at that time was a rift.

[@topspot4834]

Good stuff. Didn't know that.

[@danieldiggs9574]

@@topspot4834 I had to double check this article that talks about the 10 losses and yeah Bulls were 5-0 then lost. Here is the info. LOSS #1 - The Bulls started the season 5-0 and then lost to Orlando in Orlando. Jordan had a rare bad shooting game and shot 40% from the field. He did shoot 43% from three point range and scored 23 points. He added 7 reb, 6 ast and 2 steals. Pippen made 7/20 for 17 points. Kukoc added 16 off the bench, but on Orlando's end, Anferne Hardaway was hot. He made 12 of 18 shots including 4/7 from three point range for 36 points. He uncharacteristically recorded 0 assists. Orlando won 94-88.

[@danieldiggs9574]

The second loss actually was the Sonics who they met in the finals. That I didn't know.

[@philiprobiso9507]

Since Shaq is not around, MJ was not motivated.

[@danieldiggs9574]

@@philiprobiso9507 MJ always motivated. Penny just played a lights out game and Jordan didn't shoot the ball well.

[@MarBernardo-vv8ef]

What i saw is everyone that played against the greatest player of all time is proud that they played against him❤️❤️❤️
