Jordan still had hops and speed, but he was much more mid range focused on offense and chose his spots to go to the rim.

You know that Michael Jordan is easily the greatest and best basketball player of ALL-TIME because now in 2024, 21 years after his retirement in 2003, we are still having very deep discussions and very serious meticulous conversations about Michael Jordan’s near-perfect career in Chicago. Even that Nick Wright dude and Shannon Sharpe spend much more time in their respective lives talking, discussing, conversing, arguing, and debating about Michael Jordan’s near-perfect career in Chicago than they spend time talking about their favorite player’s career - LeBron James. Michael Jeffrey Jordan is on the Mount Rushmore of American professional sports, so Michael Jordan is VERY EASILY the greatest and best basketball player in human history. In fact calling Michael Jordan the GOAT of professional basketball is honestly a gross understatement at this point. Michael Jordan has been the undisputed GOAT of the NBA since 1988 (for 36 years and counting) and all GOAT debates have been far beneath Michael Jeffrey Jordan since 1998 (for 26 years and counting).

More revisionist history on display. The whole "Magic and the Lakers were washed" argument has never been grounded in facts. The Lakers dominated the West playoffs.

The Lakers were favored by most to beat the Bulls. Magic had 5 Championships and 9 Finals appearances. Jordan was making his first Finals appearance. So of course people favored the Lakers.

He’s STILL the only player in history ro record 200 steals, 100 blocks, and get 3,000 pts in one season as well, and that was over 30 years ago. He’s also still the only player in history to have 34/8/8/2/1.5 in a full season too. He also still has records for highest PER in history in the regular season, playoffs, and Finals.

Not to mention during the champagne celebration, pippen literally said to the reporter, "after game 2, the game plan was to stick with Michael guarding magic the rest of the series". These narratives they make up to knock Mike is nauseating. And as weird as this may sound, the more you dig deeper into his career, stats and accomplishments, you kind of realize he's actually underrated and been just reduced to this guy who only went 6-0 in the finals that was just a one dimensional offensive player. He was much more than that. I'm glad I witnessed it live

Shannon Sharpe has become the ultimate LeBron groupie. Sickeningly so. A 56 year old man former HOF professional athlete simping another man. And it's different than others like Nick Wright. "Yeahhhhhh Skip. GOAT James. Whoooiooooooook. My nephew is so great. WE got something for ya skip. WE in the gym getting ready. Hehe!!!!! Savannah taking care of the kids so WE can focus on getting that chip!" It's so weird. I'm convinced If LeBron pulled a Belle Delphine and sold his bath water Shannon would buy every bottle and drink it before he works out. Like Bugs Bunny and miracle water in space jam😂

This “series shifted with Pippen guarding Magic” bullshit - it’s exactly that - bullshit. Look at Pippen/Grant/Paxson/Cartwright shooting game 1 - then look at game 2. That was the difference. Game 1 was a team that didn’t handle the moment of their first NBA finals game. Game 2 was a different story. 2 - as was pointed out in this video - Jordan mostly guarded Magic not Pippen. 3 - yes Magic had a triple double game 1 - look at Magic’s stats and where those stats came from. Look at who Magic scored against in game 1. I’m pretty sure only 1 if his field goals actually came against Jordan. What would Magic getting a triple double even mean anyway? Was Magic guarding Jordan? No - Magic was closer to the basket…. Getting rebounds…. Which has 0 to do with Jordan. My last point - Sharpe was obviously trying to shit on Jordan in an MJ/Bron debate. That’s how it is - so I’ll mention Lebron…. How often has he guarded the best player? And when he does how often do they perform better when guarded by Bron? We’ve seen KD win 2 finals MVP’s exploding when guarded by Lebron (and to be fair Lebron wasn’t always guarding him - so which is it? Did KD torch Lebron? Or did Lebron need someone else to guard the best player?? Probably a bit if both) we saw dead set doleplayers in Iggy & Kawhi win finals MVP going against Lebron. Shit we saw Tony Parker have his best NBA finals 2007 when guarded by Lebron often - winning finals MVP. Even if Pippen guarded Magic (which again isn’t true) Lebron has either had someone else guard the best player - or get smoked trying to guard the best player

Mj is the best basketball player I ever seen. No1 comes close to MJ. That's why I get upset when trying to compare Leflop to MJ to me that's disrespectful MJ busted his *ss to become the goat ! Nothing was giving to MJ unlike like Leflop. Plus MJ played in a rougher more physical game & still accomplished what MJ did. Leflop is playing in a sissyball era & he's barely making it & crying & complaining when he don't get his way. Mj's stats & championships & MVP award plus all the other awards MJ accomplished not to mention best clutch shooter. We can go on & on but let's be realistic I seen MJ & Leflop play & there is no comparison not even close to MJ . Years later MJ is still the best even better than today's sissy players & teams. MJ played against Hall of famers & really good teams & awesome players. When it comes down to it MJ is the 🐐 GOAT!

Thank you for this video! Very well done and yes people like to down play the Bulls first championship because of how dominant they looked against the Lakers and really everyone else in the playoffs but if you look at the teams they faced the entire playoffs the Bulls kept every team on average 10ppg less than what they averaged during the regular season. It wasn't that they where no good or too old its that the Bulls defense suffocated each and every team . They where on a mission and no one was going to stop them. My memory of game 1 in finals is everyone even MJ looked timid it toom MJ a while to get going ,had the team played their usual self i think they would have sweapt the Lakers. The Lakers where favored that series Magic was runner up MVP in voting yes Worthy got bagged up and Scott did miss 2 games but it wouldn't have mattered Bulls where on a mission
