Hero ball until they got a game plan. Jordan ran off of picks just like any other shooting guard. Shot clock running down of course it went to Jordan. E cause he was the hero. Rarely did he have the ball until end of shot clock. Too many highlights is all most see. Growing up a laker fan in la I was lucky enough to get the Chicago feed on cable. For those who only see highlights, you just don’t know how good 23 was. I was all about magic in denial about MJ. After a few years watching all bulls games, there was no denying 23s skill and determination. I hated Bird but he was amazing in his own way. The Celtics and lakers had way better teams at that time though. Laker back up center Mychal Thompson and Celtics backup centers Walton and Joe Klein were better than Dave Corzine and Brad Sellers. All Bulls had was Oakley, a rebounder defender. Young Pippen was raw and shot horribly his first few years. So yes, MJ had to be a hero

If you were a Lakers Fan or any other team other than the Celtics you hated Larry Bird, BUT watching Larry Legend now has been more entertaining than watching the NBA games in 2023

I was flying out of IAH the next day. I accidently had on a green shirt but I was a Houston fan. I saw bird in the end of a concourse. I asked if I may take his pic . He said yes and showed me the peace sign as I clicked the pic. He never knew I was a Houston fan .

I don’t think they were super athletes back then like now but they def said that for a reason like the “sneaky athletic” shit 😭 I don’t think white announcers can cope with another white man being more capable in athletics so they kinda throw shade

@@norap71 today has super atheletes?? If today's athletes are so super as you say why are they always injured? Why can't they get through a full season like those guys back in the day? And as far as athleticism goes "way more athletic now"?? huh? 6'8" Dominique Wilkins in the 80s had a 44 inch vertical leap, 6'6" Jordan had a forty eight inch vertical. 6'10 Shawn Kemp had 41 inch vert, and 6'7" Clyde the Glide Drexler had 43 inch leap! That's the problem today's athletes aren't natural athletes. They're propped up by technology, nutrition, protein powder, human growth hormone.. et cetera et cetera. OG NBA were all just incredible, natural athletes.

They should just make fighting legal in all sports in the same way it is in hockey. It lets you get over frustrations and move on with the game real quickly. As someone who started playing hockey at 4 and continued at a high level until I had gotten too many concussions to continue, I can tell you that people *don’t get hurt from fights*, they get *hurt by dirty plays*. If players don’t get their frustration out then they’re going to do something dirty in game, thats realistically worse than just hitting the guy in the face. All of my concussions came on dirty plays. Not one, didnt have a penalty called when it occurred. The worst thing that happened when fighting was that my face kinda hurt for a few days and people asked why i had bruises

I was a big bb fan back then,and the Celtics/Lakers/Pistons/Knicks rivalies are the reason why. I didnt know that this would be the absolute PEAK of excitement for the NBA. Im happy to have been there watching....I cant watch now. No way. It is BORING now.... Ty for this great video....yes I was a Celtic fan,but the Lakers were always right there!
