Basketball is my favorite Hobby, but I have a different diet than Michael's though...I have 2 eggs everyday in the morning with my pancakes and a piece of fruit, and a good meal for lunch and Dinner...been doing this for 10 years now, and I don't care what people say about eggs having too much cholesterol cuz I know the health benefits of eggs...It's brainfood. Exercise makes up for it anyway and lowers Cholesterol...no worries.
I've read about more than one legendary athlete who ate steak and potatoes. Jack Dempsey, Sonny Liston, and now no surprise to hear Michael Jordan as well. You need other things as well, but there's something critical about those foods. I think HALF of any athletic performance is diet. It's that important, and it's not as simple as buying health food. Health food is largely less calories marketed at higher prices. George Foreman said cheeseburgers were the secret to his career.
yeah that would've been the perfect ending in Utah in '98. It was like it was destiny, you know. Jordan hits the game winning shot to win his sixth ring, it was perfect.
MJ's nutrition could have been better, look at Bruce Lee's nutrition and diet. MJ could have done better than pancakes for breakfast and potatoes before a game. Imagine what MJ could have achieved had he been on modern sport nutrition.
your stupid its a persons choice what they put in their body their is no mandatory nutrition guidelines that players are put on i doubt it would make a difference there was less than 2 percent body fat on him i bet his body at one point was the at the best it could possibly achieve and thats what ever persons goal should be
Did I say there was a mandatory guideline players are required to follow stupid? MJ had 4% body fat and pancakes c'mon don't let your love for MJ blind you from what is healthy and what is not. Not saying I don't love MJ myself or that he ate unhealthy shit, jus saying he could have done better. U can always do better.
MJ reached the highest point in basketball history... I don't think you can go better than that. And besides, Jordan didn't stop because his body was getting old, he stopped because he wanted to retire on top. And finally, I don't think a modern sport diet would have had a drastic effect. Adding a liter of water to the Pacific Ocean won't make any difference, it'll still be the largest Ocean out there :P
you know why MJ retired?it's because of his pride,and i respect that..he knew that he could do great things on the court,yet old age has gotten to him..he,and everyone else for that matter,knew that he was the best ever,yet he was beaten by younger and stronger built players when he rejoined the NBA..that's why he quit,he didn't like the fact that he lost to "average" players..he was the best there was,and maybe will ever be.
Are you talking about his first comeback or second one with the Wizards? I'm assuming you're talking about the first one and I don't exactly see how MJ was loosing to average players the last 3 years with the Bulls...
he came back with the wizards remember? he wanted to play but he said he was gettin too old and went back into retirement. MJ aka mini jesus is still the greatest basketball player ever.
yea buet just think of it like this .... mj never did drugs ... he never had any injections ... he was just a normal human doing what a normal human dhould do ... like excercize and three good meals .... ill be honest ... since foot ball season is comin up ive been eating a lot more and doing 100 pushups and situps every morning and i feel great i can run a lot longer now and i can play foot ball longer .. im just doing what a normal human should do..
i went to jordans house one day over the summer. i weighed 450 lbs. he took a leak in the toilet and forgot to flush. i capitalized on his mistake and gulped down 2 full cups of urine and fecal matter. i am now 190 lbs of pure muscle and will enlist in the nba draft next year. THANK YOU JORDAN!!

i dunno if kobe is the best now, if he is wouldnt he have won the title last year?
Jordan practically won it by himself and he had good role player, kobe has good role players to.
I remember they were saying that sprewell ws the next jordan, then penny maybe grant hill, then kobe. nobody will be the next jordan, its impossible. ah well
this is a true thing that happens! its not a chain letter! its kinda scary at first but it really works!! paste this message into 3 comments and press ALT F4 and your crushes name will appear on the screen!!! its soo wierd!

This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Pancakes? Are you kidding Jordan. And the cereal has to be Wheaties or something like it. No Fruity pebbles and shit. And 3 meals a day? I think 5 meals a day sounds better.
eating whatever u want is a great privledge jordans metabolism is through the roof i have never seen him gain and ounce of fat hes always bin chisseled.Chad johnson in the nfl is like that too along with other pro atheletes u either got it or u dont lol
It's crazy but I think you're right. Feel like whatever I'm gonna do, I will never be a good athlete even if I work as hard as I can. It makes me sick!
its like they say lifes about hitting the genetic jackpot most ppl have the genetics and just dont know it thats where the hardwork comes in u could as well some ppls bodys dont hit they primes little later than some so always keep hope.
jordan is someone whose very inspirational i looked up to him when i was a kid hes not onyl someone to look up to for a kid but adults as well hes a hell of an athelete so if your lookin for inspiration look no further than this guy right here mj!.good luck
he mustve eaten more than 3 times a day...he's a very solid size, as well as being cut.
with all the basketball and training he was doing, im sure he was on at least protein supplements...its not human to maintain that muscle mass on pancakes, steak and potatoes alone =P
I love MJ, but he sounds completely clueless on the subject. Pancakes, cereal, steak, and potatoes? Three meals a day? He is not a nutritionist nor a strength training specialist. He is the best basketball player of all time, but I would not take nutrition advise from him.
5-6 meals throughout the day is ideal for anyone not just males. He doesn't mention fruits or vegetables, but pancakes and cereal. This is not sound advice on any front. You would think that he would have someone feed him good advice to tell others. You have to consider that 99% of the people watching this video are not genetic freaks and cannot get away with eating poorly. Why do you think we are the second fattest country in the world? Stick to hoops advice, Mike, not nutrition.
he aint no bodybuilder. he needs super high carbs like michael phelps. pancakes do the job, he's doing so much cardio it's hardly going to turn the fat. LEARN man
there are better ways to get carbs than pancakes - anyway, jordan can eat whatever he wants but it just sounds funny if he is recommending that people have great breakfasts like pancakes for breakfast
dang i got 3 hours of sleep and i was so tired in the game Jordan is right i had tolearn the hard way but we still won 1st place i played 3 games and barely rested a minute in those 3 games
Steak and Potatoes: perfect for a number of reasons.
1. Saturated fat in the steak increases testosterone levels.2. Fat is a great source of energy.3. High protein to prevent catabolism (muscle wasting) during long duration events.4. Potatoes great source of carbohydrates (fuel)
5. Protein and fat from steak makes the Potatoes (carbs) break down slowly to give long lasting even energy over time. Take home lesson.. The "secret" foods aren't shit that has to be pulled out of a magician's ass..
U can have a lot more energy than what u get from steak and patatoes, whether u play basketball or not, a proper diet can change your life literally. Get a more natural, composed, stable, feeling of being, in your life by simply eating organic, the way food was meant to be consumed. Fruit vegetables some chicken and fish. Try it i dare u, feel superhuman, natural and ready to wake up in the mornin.

Wow..no offence but Mike is way off on teh nutrition aspect, you should be eating 5-6 smaller meals a day..and pancakes and cereal is not a very good breakfast at all! Actually its a terrible breakfast!
in all fairness...back in the late 80s, good nutrition meant a lot of different things than it does now. you are right that its about 6 meals a day now, but back then nutritionists didnt preach that advice.
Your exactly right! Jordan's one of my favs, I'm taking nothing away from him. It's not like he studied nutrition, he was just doing what he was told.
wow kid. u didnt see u in PRO Basketball, Jordan is the greatest phenom that ever lived, and an amazing athlete that went to the Olympics soo just STFU!
Acutally Jordan is one of my favourite players of all time, so before you say STFU you better settle the fuck down. His knowledge on nutrition isnt that great, which isn't his fault because back in the 90's people didn't knwo half of what they know now about it. Cereal and Pancakes equal=processed foods, lots of sugar, little protein. You Need to be eating your biggest meal at breakfast. Eggs,yogurt, bacon, whey protien. And No U didn't see U in PRO Basketball. Learn to spell.Learn to eat right
But not when your are not consuming Protein with it! Its not only about what you eat its when you eat it! You need protein and fat with carbs so that the protein can be digested( the fat helps with that) and the carbs don't give you a huge spike in insulin, then resulting in a fatigued state afterwards. Fat and protein help break down the carbs slowly so that doesn't happen. And no athelete consumes processed foods like cereal and pancakes to get there carbs. They consume fruits!
so like how many servings of breads and pastas ect. should i eat every day? on the food perimed it says 6-11 but i dont no if thats outdated or anything please help
Its all when you eat them. On training days you can eat them alot more then when your jsut sitting around for the day. Eat most of your carbs at breafast, then lunch then the least amount at dinner. Unless you workout and your dinner is your postworkout meal then you want alot of carbs to replace the stores of glycogen you just used up. If you constantly eating every two hours and you eat mostly whole foods, fruits,veggies, non-processed meat. Your body will have no reason to store fat
so if i had 6 servings of breds/pastas a day all spread out, then had alotta fruits and stuff twords supper (cause i work out after school) would that be okay?
I can't really think In my head what 6 servings is, but I'd say thats ok. If you workout after school then make sure your packing a good lunch, dont eat at the cafe. And after your workout eat as soon as possilbe. Generally I have a protein shake and maybe some fruit or something to fill me up a bit. Then when supper rolls around I try to eat some source of protein, steak, chicken beans, and limit my carbs by eating vegetables with it.
continued...generally when you gain fat it is people who skip breakfast, eat shitty foods, and don't eat frequently enough!And when they do eat they eat at mcdonalds etc. Crap food. When you do these and go without food for hours (skipping breakfast) your body think your starving it because it hasn't seen food for hours. So when you do eat, it stores alot as fat because its afraid its gonna go hours without food again. So it stores fat to try to have something to run off of. Which doesn't work!
i agree with you i read something about that too. 5-6 smaller meals is better than 3 big meals. so what in your opinion should be a good breakfast? and why is cereal and pancakes a terrible breakfast when it has the carbs in it? all you have to do is have a quality protein source to add to it.
Both are just full of preservatives and sugars. You are right, you want alot of carbs, and adding Protein is exactly what you need. Should be about a 2:1 ratio of carbs to protein. Anything that comes out of a box is generally not very healthy for you, like cereal. Not saying a don't eat it myself, rarely, but things like fruit, yogurt, cottage cheese, eggs, bacon, are better choices. Fruit gives you the carbs you need, and its not artificial.
i went to jordans house one day over the summer. i weighed 450 lbs. he took a leak in the toilet and forgot to flush. i capitalized on his mistake and gulped down 2 full cups of urine and fecal matter. i am now 190 lbs of pure muscle and will enlist in the nba draft next year. THANK YOU JORDAN!!

Steak and Potatoes: perfect for a number of reasons.
1. Saturated fat in the steak increases testosterone levels.2. Fat is a great source of energy.3. High protein to prevent catabolism (muscle wasting) during long duration events.4. Potatoes great source of carbohydrates (fuel)
5. Protein and fat from steak makes the Potatoes (carbs) break down slowly to give long lasting even energy over time. Take home lesson.. The "secret" foods aren't shit that has to be pulled out of a magician's ass..

U can have a lot more energy than what u get from steak and patatoes, whether u play basketball or not, a proper diet can change your life literally. Get a more natural, composed, stable, feeling of being, in your life by simply eating organic, the way food was meant to be consumed. Fruit vegetables some chicken and fish. Try it i dare u, feel superhuman, natural and ready to wake up in the mornin.

organic's a load of bullshit, just a marketing angle but i totally agree about the balanced diet.

Wow..no offence but Mike is way off on teh nutrition aspect, you should be eating 5-6 smaller meals a day..and pancakes and cereal is not a very good breakfast at all! Actually its a terrible breakfast!

4 real?
fritz4104 4 years ago
in all fairness...back in the late 80s, good nutrition meant a lot of different things than it does now. you are right that its about 6 meals a day now, but back then nutritionists didnt preach that advice.
pnguyen21 4 years ago
Your exactly right! Jordan's one of my favs, I'm taking nothing away from him. It's not like he studied nutrition, he was just doing what he was told.
mcdeals87 4 years ago
wow kid. u didnt see u in PRO Basketball, Jordan is the greatest phenom that ever lived, and an amazing athlete that went to the Olympics soo just STFU!
Jyuuk3n 4 years ago
Acutally Jordan is one of my favourite players of all time, so before you say STFU you better settle the fuck down. His knowledge on nutrition isnt that great, which isn't his fault because back in the 90's people didn't knwo half of what they know now about it. Cereal and Pancakes equal=processed foods, lots of sugar, little protein. You Need to be eating your biggest meal at breakfast. Eggs,yogurt, bacon, whey protien. And No U didn't see U in PRO Basketball. Learn to spell.Learn to eat right
mcdeals87 4 years ago
um actually as an active athelete you want alotta carbs and sugars.
ronman21 4 years ago
But not when your are not consuming Protein with it! Its not only about what you eat its when you eat it! You need protein and fat with carbs so that the protein can be digested( the fat helps with that) and the carbs don't give you a huge spike in insulin, then resulting in a fatigued state afterwards. Fat and protein help break down the carbs slowly so that doesn't happen. And no athelete consumes processed foods like cereal and pancakes to get there carbs. They consume fruits!
mcdeals87 4 years ago
so like how many servings of breads and pastas ect. should i eat every day? on the food perimed it says 6-11 but i dont no if thats outdated or anything please help
ronman21 4 years ago
Its all when you eat them. On training days you can eat them alot more then when your jsut sitting around for the day. Eat most of your carbs at breafast, then lunch then the least amount at dinner. Unless you workout and your dinner is your postworkout meal then you want alot of carbs to replace the stores of glycogen you just used up. If you constantly eating every two hours and you eat mostly whole foods, fruits,veggies, non-processed meat. Your body will have no reason to store fat
mcdeals87 4 years ago
so if i had 6 servings of breds/pastas a day all spread out, then had alotta fruits and stuff twords supper (cause i work out after school) would that be okay?
ronman21 4 years ago
I can't really think In my head what 6 servings is, but I'd say thats ok. If you workout after school then make sure your packing a good lunch, dont eat at the cafe. And after your workout eat as soon as possilbe. Generally I have a protein shake and maybe some fruit or something to fill me up a bit. Then when supper rolls around I try to eat some source of protein, steak, chicken beans, and limit my carbs by eating vegetables with it.
mcdeals87 4 years ago
yea i have some whey protein after my lifts. im gonna have to start cutting back on the shit foods and start eating more fruits lol
ronman21 4 years ago 3
continued...generally when you gain fat it is people who skip breakfast, eat shitty foods, and don't eat frequently enough!And when they do eat they eat at mcdonalds etc. Crap food. When you do these and go without food for hours (skipping breakfast) your body think your starving it because it hasn't seen food for hours. So when you do eat, it stores alot as fat because its afraid its gonna go hours without food again. So it stores fat to try to have something to run off of. Which doesn't work!

I am an active athelete, and by the way, carbs and sugar are one.
mcdeals87 4 years ago
i agree with you i read something about that too. 5-6 smaller meals is better than 3 big meals. so what in your opinion should be a good breakfast? and why is cereal and pancakes a terrible breakfast when it has the carbs in it? all you have to do is have a quality protein source to add to it.
ballahollic44 3 years ago
Both are just full of preservatives and sugars. You are right, you want alot of carbs, and adding Protein is exactly what you need. Should be about a 2:1 ratio of carbs to protein. Anything that comes out of a box is generally not very healthy for you, like cereal. Not saying a don't eat it myself, rarely, but things like fruit, yogurt, cottage cheese, eggs, bacon, are better choices. Fruit gives you the carbs you need, and its not artificial.
