Using Numbers To Find The Greatest Individual Season In NBA History | Reaction

[@massdagod]

Every single year Jordan played a full season with the Bulls (11), is all in the top 50. The only Bulls seasons that isn’t on here is when he broke his leg and played 18 games and the other where he played 17 games in 1995 when he came out of retirement.

[@marvinholmes5803]

MJ has 5 seasons better than Lebron's best season... Super crazy!!!

[@PickHachu63]

and to think lebron played more seasons than MJ.. MJ WAS ABOVE AND BEYOND.☝️🔥🫡🫢🤫🤷👌💯

[@ngo_mando6954]

And the league rules change imagine what Jordan's number would have been in today's game

[@knowjc35]

spot on with the analysis, it's a different game today. also, Jordan is alone in another stratosphere!

[@szaret1]

Mike was just so much better than lebron. He's a way better shooter, way better defender, way better competitor. #2 in blocks at his position, #1 in steals. What's LeBron really doing that that's much better? Before some says assists chill. He averaged a triple double when he played pg. Plus all these stats would go even heavier in MJ's favor if he played in todays league. Rules and game style have been heavily changed to allow for easier scoring

[@NoSheepMentality]

MJ won a DPOTY,MVP, Scoring title and steals title in the same season

[@paulalbert6970]

He also won the Dunk Contest and the All Star MVP

[@diltberg9627]

The way you break it down is absolutely 100% right it was definitely alot harder to score in the 80s and 90s

[@V12BenzAMG]

well said...i wish more people could grasp the concept of the value of points then vs now....the old points were mostly 2pt shots and much harder to avg 30+ a season

Facts

[@thinkcritically6373]

You know your basketball! Excellent explanation of the differences in scoring between era's 🙌...

[@HectorMartinez-vu4ke]

MJ was A+ Offense and A+ Defense.

[@CTBSlash0509]

I hope people can see now why us "old heads" hated when LBJ went to Miami with D Wade. In 09 they both were like top 5 players and then they joined up the next year. They just killed the competition aspect of the game. Then KD felt the right to do the same thing.

[@mikefromnyc4111]

Well if the Celtics didn’t form a super team First Lebron would’ve never needed to do that

[@Schubertz08]

@@mikefromnyc4111 KG was past his prime and so was Allen. It is not even a valid comparison. It is like calling Charles, Hakeem and Pippen being a superteam. Nobody were in their primes unlike Bron and Wade.

[@threepiecewithasidebiscuit3527]

It’s funny that no one else is in the frame but the person right behind MJ……….Is MJ. 😂😂💀 GOAT! Period.

[@riezexeero7392]

It's not just about style of play. It's because of the current rules of the NBA that allowed players to score more. Which is sad sometimes as defense is really being negelcted now.

[@toogoat9293]

MJ is the greatest and the best ever

[@ingobordewick6480]

You are right, the game is very different today, that is why you have so many players of the modern era on that top 50 list. Makes MJs count on that list even more impressive.

[@genkki4776]

It's the narratives, sir. The NBA sets up who they want to be the MVP sometimes. It's not like that all the time, but every now and again they did it. New to your channel but I like your solid understanding of things! Keep up the good work!

[@robchesley4591]

Great assessment.. your dead on about the scoring value of 90s vs today. Jordan was just different

[@warrenbfeagins]

All you gotta do is watch. We have NEVER seen anyone that good. 🐐

[@samraleigh2234]

To pick up on your offense/defense comparison …. what if your best offensive player, is also a league best defensive player?? I’d take that guy. :) haha

[@nathanlawson313]

I like you're IQ, kid. I'd correct you on a couple small things but I'm not gonna sweat it. You got a good grasp of eras and legends. Great reaction.

[@hermanalbertie4120]

You were talking about the eye test. Mike was just deadly....

[@jamesmitchell3615]

The NBA robbed MJ in 89 for the MVP, and arguably many other great years of MJ, smh🤦🏾‍♂️ Honestly, they robbed LBJ of some MVP's too.

[@D4nang_.1raw4n]

joh stockton never missed playoff

[@mikefromnyc4111]

Crazy feat

[@staciemohler4624]

13:57 he averaged 29.8 PTS (most that year) 10.7 TRB 4.8 AST 1.7 STL 3.3 BLK (3rd most that year) had 20.0 win shares (highest that year) made 2nd team All-NBA and All-Defense

[@frostywarrior4649]

See the only thing that flawed dude argument about taking a player with A+ offense and C defense over A+ defense and C offense is MJ had A+ offense and defense at the same time in almost all his seasons in Chicago 🤷🏿‍♂️... He really should have 11 MVPs

[@JJ-ui4ph]

That last thing you said that speaks to years from now people won’t have seen MJ. Think about people that will have never seen Lebron play. They’ll figure out it’s no way he could be the goat and only have four rings. Jordan beat Magic a top 5 all time player. He beat Malone and Barkley both Mvp players at the time. Lebron only had four rings and that last one came off a Heat time who’s best player was Jimmy Butter. How you think that is going to age? Having less rings and beating Jimmy Butler to get one of those😂

[@rodrigocardenasholik8914]

In the 90s, games averaged 100 point per team. Now the average is close to 120. A team in the 90s to reach 120 points means at least a 2 OT.

[@gabemore1766]

The thing is if Jordan played in this era with no tuff defence less Injury’s play another 10 years like lebron has all records would be broken and it surely would be beyond stratosphere shit!!!

[@letsdoculture]

19:30 Yeah but MJ had better defense and Offense over Magic 😅

[@Taj_Rahine]

Jordan could have had more MVP's, also keep in mind he missed 2 seasons in his prime prime where he could have won the MVP also. I know he played 17 games in that 2nd season but he wasn't going to really be eligible to win the MVP during that comeback year.

[@mikefromnyc4111]

Michael Jordan taking time off to me is not helpful to his argument

[@aarlavaan]

​@@mikefromnyc4111 nah, taj is talking about the years MJ got hurt. One year he played only 17 games and the other he only played 18. If he hadn't gotten hurt, and played the full season, he could have gotten two more.

[@shaheempashua6924]

Most valuable player That has nothing to do with "team" it's all about who as a player is most valuable So a player that plays bother sides of the court and does so effectively and delivers the very best on both sides and I mean no way was Barkley or Johnson offensively better than Mike So we repeat a robbery took place🤷🏾‍♂️

[@lennybeason1110]

It’s simple LeBron is the stat king of Longevity! MJ is the GOAT because of highest peak and sustained dominance individually and team success wise!

[@tfyahct]

As long as Jordan sells shoes people gonna know or want to know and just like you when they watched the highlights they go yeah he's a better player.

[@mikefromnyc4111]

good point

[@techfreakjames]

You shouldn't be surprised that Scottie Pippen made the list. He wasn't that great of a player when he first entered the league (only averaged 8 points in his rookie year), but to win championships, Jordan and Phil knew they needed a 2nd option. A Robin to MJ's Batman. They noticed Scottie's potential and made sure to hone it. Phil had Pippen guard MJ during practices. Imagine guarding the best scorer of all time during practices then facing off with other players who are not as fast or as skilled during actual games. Once Pippen developed into a great defender, it became steel sharpening steel at that point. Pippen would not have developed the way he did if he didn't have Jordan, but Jordan could have found another great option, it just happened to be Pippen. Unlike Lebron that just finds players that are already top level caliber like Wade, Bosh, AD, etc., MJ built Pippen.

[@just_jeff4839]

I agree. If you consider LeBron the GOAT at the end of his career, I won't fight you on that... but if you say LeBron was the BETTER basketball player, that's fighting words LOL Michael Jordan was and is the better basketball player. I don't think you can make a good argument against it. He did MORE in less time than LeBron did. Yes, longevity is a thing but the peaks that MJ hit were damn HIGH. I mean look at this video, he has 11 of the top 50 "greatest" regular seasons EVER... that's wild for someone who only really play 14 seasons.

[@cursin]

I really like your channel brody

[@mikefromnyc4111]

Appreciate that

[@michaelklein8598]

The modern game has a lack of defense, partially due to rule changes. The NBA is in the entertainment business so more scoring is seen as a good thing. The same is true in the NFL. Rule changes have a great effect on the games, and some are not good 🤗

[@conradovega2147]

When you talk about peaks, remember jordan retire and comeback, so you can’t really measure if he didn’t retire you can probably make a 10 year peak that would compare better to James but Jordan have 11 of the best 50 and James 5 so I am sure if you compare all Michael Jordan season whit Lebron Jordan still be on top, or compare 1072 games wish is Jordan total games agains James 1072 first games, i watch Jordan , I was actually a laker fan magic , then Jordan came and all change, I continue watching O’Neal, kobe but Jordan make the game better

[@mikefromnyc4111]

We can only use what happened not hypotheticals the fact is he did retire we can not use years he did play to add to his resume

[@grega4231]

Mj ruined the NBA because he made everyone want to be the solo act, but nobody has been able to do it like him so the NBA started changing the rules to favor offensive perimeter players. There are many people who believe Jordan has been the best player since his 4th year also
