Michael Jordan 2009 Hall Of Fame Induction Speech 2/3

[Hotabs579]

smh what a douche

[Saskiequelle]

8:27 Rodman is like "fuck that n***a" after that comment.

[Saskiequelle]

2:55 So he is cheap!! Now it is confirmed.

[jackster79ohk]

MJ has no shame

[mcentepede]

Worst HOF acceptance speech of all times. Even Dennis Rodman's speech was great, and he is wacky.

[hintlo1]

lol....organizations.....

[TheAllensmit]

i wish lebron woulda listened to this before making his "decision"

[shulizim]

He's the best. And he knows that.

[MonkeyFunInc14]

I'm not even gonna get to how many people are being dickheads about this speech, because if you don't understand, then you clearly don't know MJ as a player. He's competitive, not arrogant, he wants to win, shouldn't every player want the same thing, he wanted to push his limits e.g. The Flu Game, when nobody stood to the challenges like that, MJ would say it's not good enough. Get better, tell me I can't do it. And I all do it. Thats what sport is all about morons.

[hintlo1]

@MonkeyFunInc14......... You could not said this any better..... I am glad you said this because I was going around sending comments here and there to all these fucking haterz..... All these people who wrote a negative comment on his Hall of Fame speech will never be inducted to the Hall of Fame.. so they all should just watch as they were doing when they listen to his speech.. sit the bench....

[raphaelarlequin]

He is just the greatest.....is just the truth with a little bit of humor in it.

[flandersfails]

@raphaelarlequin yes, he's the one telling it the way it really is. He is what he is and that's why he's the G.O.A.T.

[wilsondylanmccartney]

He's arrogant.

[PCC9]

that's why he's good.

[Navila1]

@wilsondylanmccartney Arrogant? That doesn't even make sense... Arrogant is over rating yourself. He is the greatest of all time. There is no level higher than himself, so it is impossible for him to overrate himself because there is not level higher than him. 

[BeatOfAngels]

its better to be honest... and he didnt insult directly.. he just put some humor in it. sigh... you guys really have to chill!

what do you want?! "oh this guy, he push me to my limits.. he is the greatest i ever faced" "ah this team really gave me a hard time" bunch of humble BS.

he didnt say " hell yeah im the greatest! and i beat the hell out of you!"

god damn! be honest in a humorous way. thats better... dont be hypocrits

[arn123321]

he told the truth.. he's one of few guys that make it so high up that they can get away with telling the truth. that's the only diff between MJ and the other guys who gave hall of fame speeches.

[bernieswim]

Yeah I know he liked that dunk John Starks put on him. 90s Knicks were all about it.

[TheEarlOfDublin]

the man got to where he is by being a fierce competitor. If he was tactful would he even be where he is today? I don't think so. You can't just chop a man into bits and look at the pieces without reference to the whole.

[frusionnn]

6:30 I loved John Starks too! (in the same meaning Mike did) =)

[DrBoyWonder]

Wow. Way to be a jerk, Mike.

[MrFreshsince91]

Michael Jordan is the BEST basketball player ever!!!!!!!!  Jordan for life...Bulls for life baby!!!

[KOPAU1624]

Jordan is the greatest of all time. Magic, Big O, Russel were all better than this piece of shit

[Ganda11aMaster]

the leyend has born

he's the better athlete of all the times

[forbasketballonly]

huge Jordan fan.

actually got to see him play unlike half of you kids. but..

ok honestly

i dont give a crap if he was the greatest guy to ever throw a ball into a basket.

That does not gvie him the 'right' or the 'excuse' to bash into former coleaguers. Unbelievable! I can't imagine what Isaiah and Gervin must be feeling..

If he was so 'great,' then in fact he should have been only that Much kinder and that Much selfless and that Much gracious.

[BennduR]

yep i agree hes being pretty douche bag here

[a2dak408]

dawg i totally agree with you. why the hell is he bashing into GREAT players? that in any aspect is total disrespect. I for one am a huge LAKERS fan. even when everyone jumped on the chicago bandwagon back then. I loved watching Mike but in MY OWN OPINION, I think Kobe has become better. I think Mike has set the standard and Kobe stepped up and now is trying to set the next ya know. but i totally agree with you, what Jordan did was uncalled for.

[thachozn1429]

Jordan is a guy who you have 2 respect 4 what he is and 4 what he's not. First Jordan is the best bball player ever.

However, Jordan ushered in the Me first, whiny, tiger woods OREO sell out non-political, non-confrontational, non-substantive era of uncle Toms that we have masquerading as professional athletes and role models Jordan (with the Media's help) ushered out socially conscience athletes like Ali, Jim Brown, Jabbar and even Barkley, and he made it cool to stand for nothing.

[MrBrizzy]

I was there

[meskwakidiggler]

damn.kiss his ass everyone.the mother fucker aint walking on water or serving his country in a war.hes just a dime a dozen basketball player.mother fucker aint GOD.

[paulb3rd]

This is not arrogance. What you are seeing is a competitor. This is someone who has a fire that only one a million do. You are seeing the warrior and that is what his whole speech is about. It is about being a competitor. This flies right over most of your heads.

[SNash58]

1 in a million?

so there's like 300 people as driven as mj? i think not

[paulb3rd]

There are people just as motivated as MJ. They just don't all play basketball. Bill Gates, Peyton Manning, and so on.

I am a huge MJ fan and think no differently of him after his speech. I saw a guy he has a competitive fire that most cannot understand. Most people are happy being average. He is not and I admire him for it.

[justblaze5]

i wish yall would stop hating. great man, great player. great message. stop hating. its humor.. hes human.

[DMedina777]

EGO,,,it is disgusting!

But, he was the greatest player who ever played the game...still no excuses!

[Supermonkey22]

Jordan is still no Magic or Larry Bird. Jordan took 35 shots a game..so yeah he damn well better score a lot. And if I remember right, Jordan didn't win until Pippen, Horace Grant and Paxon and Kerr came along. No doubt Jordan was amazing, but the best EVER...not in my opinion.

[drumtour621]

people can say what they want about his speech... but listen to what he said right at the begginning of his speech...thats called class

[javan133]

2words..KOBIE.BRYANT!

[TalEl59]

All the people that are dissing Jordan about his speech better recognise that a big ego is a pre-condition for greatness in anything. Ask Gary Kasparov, Tiger Woods, Roger Federer, Pete Sampras and Wayne Gretzky. Some champions just are more HONEST than others. I mean come on, to be the best you have to BELIEVE your the best first and that is not possible without a big ego. So please try to understand why Jordan's speech came out the way it did.

[duchaneaux]

I agree with you 100%. Most people look at this from a different perspective and think he has a big ego, but he's just being honest about himself. Just look at Ricky Henderson after he broke the record for stolen bases. He said "Lou Brock was the symbol of great base stealing. But today, I am the greatest." It's a certain type of competitive swagger that only the great players hold that the outsiders don't understand.

[kingkuts]

if ya dont like Michael Jordan your not human //if you played aginst he well,,but he can FLY,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,THIS is  OUR HISTORY

[funds450]

What an asshole....first class DOUCHEBAG

[wordlifeo00]

lol obviously you don't know what it means to be the best at anything lol

[TheDezert]

hahaha mj is about to say '' hes a ery competitive nigga'' hahaha lmao ;P

[Rapperrayman]

Tex: You know..... there's no "I" in team.

MJ: "Tex it's not. It's not an "I" in team, but there's an "I" in WIN!

LOL, my favorite part in his speech. I love Jordan. And to all the haters out there: "Where's YOUR sense of humor?" Gotta be confident to be a champion and NOT so damn insecure.

[cnickd]

...but at the end of the day we put our pants on the same way, one leg at a time... what a jerk he is!! I don't care how good he was... I'm throwing those rookie cards in the trash!!!

[jrman80]

it was a good speech, everything people did to him he took it as a challenge and it motivated him to be better....he could have quit, but he didn't.

You wont throw the rookie cards away, post a vid of you burning it....

[hinika]

That was basically what his speech was about. Some of the folks here are just taking it out of context

[tyrannosauruscanz]

Mike...Mikey...come on man...

[bpisports]

Man, what an absolute egotistical cock...I heard this was bad and now that I'm seeing it...WOW...ok MJ, we get it, you're the greatest MF in the world and you're taking shots at guys that can't return fire...how classy! People gave Jordan his just due when he was playing, this "can't get no respect" speech was/is COMPLETELY uncalled for.

[AttenuatedG]

hes the greatest ever hes not gonna sugar coat his speech, hes not gonna say or do what all the other inductees did, hes better than them, hes know that, u know that, and everyone knows that

[wolfpack1635]

dude this is michael jordan, you can't say that about him. sure he's still only a person but he's also the greatest person who has ever played basketball... have some respect

[musicology1999]

His true colors came out. He's great but he's a serious jerk! No class. John Stockton and David Robinson showed class.

[rudedog2009]

All you people who say he's self absorbed are douches. What did he do that made him sound self absorbed? He was talking about being competitive, now about being so much better

[67goldtops]

Who's that next to David Robinson @ 8:55? Man, I'd wreck that.

[bdavids28]

I like to keep in mind that Michael Jordan was good at 1 our of his 4 NBA jobs.

Bulls player - Great (obviously)

Wizards player - Eh

Wizards executive - Horrible

Bobcats executive - Horrible

25% success, not too good!

[joking84]

he was 40 on the wizards and still a legit all star, look at the numbers.

[jtrubilla]

He acted like such a dick. I used to respect MJ, but now I see his true colors.

[harris92xx]

1:55

"He was a very competetive n- .. person"

MJ was about to say nigga rofl

[ak800]

yeah it sounded like he was wasnt hehe thanks for catching that

[scars73]

Huh? I heard the n, but Jerry Krause is white. So you are wrong.

[harris92xx]

Since when does someone have to be black to be called a nigga?

no offense to anyone ;p

[flandersfails]

@harris92xx that's because MJ was the REALEST ni++ah!

[trumpetguy3039]

@harris92xx lol, he said shit in the other one :P

[dwux1]

@harris92xx yea :D

[sunnyboy8644]

@harris92xx LOL i just notice that too :) ahaha

[jumpman23madj]

'mrclutch87' - stop being a little bi*ch and man up... who are those guys to freeze him out? this isn't high school... he deserved to play b/c he was the best player on the court. And 'kjanderson4' - the writer of that yahoo article doesn't know sh*t about basketball, and neither do you. go back to playing badminton you bum. He acknowledged the ppl that mean the most to him - his mom and family. This is the best ATHLETE of all time, and none of you haters can take that away from him.

[scars73]

I agree with you totally. Awesome speech.

[mrclutch87]

i love mj but this guy is an asshole to call out isiah magic and da rest of em

[coffeeandciagar]

Love the shot at Krause. Krause was a joke.

[kjandersen4]

I think the yahoo article was dead on!! most cocky speech and bitter speech i have ever heard...NO CLASS

[riverastronaut]

That yahoo article was misleading. It was tainted with envy. I think it was deliberate so that the article would draw reaction. The retard just wanted attention after all.

[anandmongol]

JORDAN is no doubt the best, but he is quite self absorbed

[bpshenk]

of course he's self absorbed! the media, spectators, companies like NIKE have all been bolstering his EGO for years!!!!

that doesn't make a man timid and humble

[TheOffensiveWeapon]

He is still the best player there's no doubt he would make it to the hall of fame, but its not right to be self-centered like that he didn't even thank his family till the end

[coffeeandciagar]

Uh, he spent much of the first several minutes of his speech on his family, moron.

[TheOffensiveWeapon]

Well now that I know, but his speech was still arrogant

[yohanjose2029]

quien no lo conosca no sabe nada de la vida es el mejor y lo que dejo ay fue mejor todavia que sin pipen no abria logrado nada esa era la dupla perfecta

[mulane9]

MJ is the best.

[TeeJay1705]

Jordan has always been and will always be one of the classiest greats to play the game

[forbasketballonly]

yea jordans pretty self-absorbed

but pippens so cool and classy

[papapsn]

your an idiot, he is telling his story at his HALL OF FAME INDUCTION...

FOOOL!!!

[Habitually233]

I like baseketball, and other sports. But at the end of the day, it is only competitve entertainment. Why people look up to these self absorbed people is beyond me.

[seethishardtube]

Jordan has EVERY right to be diss every single person he dissed because if it wasnt for them, the Jordan we know wouldve never been possible...it happens all the time with talented people that are undermined by those who think they know all about whatever it is they do... Way to rub it in their faces Jorda!!!!!!

[jarteaga87]

i def. agree... you play any sport to be THE BEST, and being the best means bashing anyone and everyone...

[dtanktdtank]

I ono why people getting mad over jordans speeches he just being real who cares.

[princessashton123]

Jordan simply the best player ever! Arthur can remove this post, but they only do it because the truth hurts them. Jordan would take Lebron to school any day during his prime.

[OKTOBERRAINING]

recordare con especial cariño las finales chicago-utha, las veia en compañia de mi padre y mi hermano....y si claro eso esta en mi corazon para siempre

[OKTOBERRAINING]

JORDAN quien no te admire, no sabe nada

[OKTOBERRAINING]

lebron you are dreaming

[smoothhoopinal]

8:57 - 9:16

Reminds me of where Lebron is NOW with people talking trash.
