[1TICKHAND]

JUST CALL HIM MR BASKETBALL PERIOD!!!!!!!

[iluvrei]

jordan has so many "moments" imagine with the present social network..but mj was a phenomenon!! the one and only!

thanks michael!

[Ed2nice]

Do any body know the name of the song at the 5:23 mark of this video?

[MrMadluck13]

He was the reason that I began to play and many more I believe.

The Mohamed Ali of Basketball His Royal Airness MICHAEL JORDAN.

And hate when they compare Kobe to His Royal Airness...

[Jedmac90]

So Danny Ainge played against MJ as a Celtic in the 63 point game, played as a Trail Blazer in 1992 and experienced the Game 1 barrage, and then finally witnessed with the Suns the following year when Jordan set a finals record by averaging 41 points a game en route to the Bulls winning their first 3-peat. He probably developed the same "Michael Jordan complex" that the Cavs had lol

[Smeagollum86]

craig ehlo thumbed down this video

[0004foxhound]

it think if he did not retire after the 1st 3 peat he could have had the championship on the seasons 1994-1995....he could be wearing 8 rings right now...wtf!!! he literally owned the game...

[jeffreysam]

I believe that in 2023, Michael Jordan will not be forgotten. He's a once in a lifetime player, and the 'airs apparent' (Lebron, Kobe, Tyreke, etc.) will not quite match up to MJ's legacy.

[Kjust1ce]

I love how he scored 38 points in the finals game 5 against the jazz with the flu. It didnt matter if his health was poor, he was so good he could score 40 points in his sleep.

[amatalka87]

ummm actually he did win with Horace grant and pippen he won 3 straight championships...(without rodman) grant did a solid job averging 13 points a game.....then jordan retires for 2 years and the Bulls didnt win nothing, he comes back and they win another 3 straight titles this time wwith Rodman and pippen (without horace grant) he won the first 3 then another 3 with a totally different cast .....oh and horace grant averged 13.5 ppg with the jordan and averged 9.3 after he left the bulls

[wrangloctopus]

Michael gets it. of course he does, the single, individual greatest of anything is extremely intelligent, therefore knowledgable about how to get where they have gotten.

[amatalka87]

In 35 Finals games, Jordan averaged 33.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 6.0 assists a game.

In 19 Finals games, Bryant has averaged 22.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.9 assists a game

[rommelojello]

uhmm those kobe numbers are a little off.. just by saying Kobe was in just 4 games per finals is off.. he's played in 24 Finals games if it was just 4 games a series. it's more like 28-29 games.

[amatalka87]

my stats dont include this years Finals against the magic...even if u were to count those they still wouldnt be close to jordans....who by the way is 6 for 6 in championships

[rommelojello]

There's a trend with Jordan. Mr. Will To Win doesn't make his team above .500 in the first 3 seasons. He gets Horace, Grant, and Pippen, finally makes it to above .500 but still can't win. After he leaves, his team's record only goes down by 2 games. He comes back and their record becomes worse?! Then they need to add D. Rod. to the bunch of greats to help Jordan. He retires again. Returns and doesn't get into the playoffs the next 2 years with the wizards. Mr. Jordan needs good players.All Hype

[amatalka87]

ohhh yeaaaa horace grant, paxon, steve kerr, toni kukoc, luc longly, ron harper, armstrong, bill wennigton, these are all legends lol ur an idiot

[rommelojello]

are you mental? or can you just not read. I never said they were legends you dumb fuck. I said they were good players. Which they are. MJ needed good players to get to where he was. You guys act like he did this all by himself. He tried to do it by himself for 5 years (with Wizards included) and failed. Just say it. Jordan isn't as good as you fuckin bandwagoners act like he is. He's one of the best. Don't get me wrong. But don't make him seem invincible.

[amatalka87]

Everybody needs good players to win what kind of idiot are you? No player in the history of sports won a ring on their own! And your a fuckin idiot sayin Jordan didnt win with the wizards he was 39 years old you fuckin retard!!!! name me a 39 year old player that averged 20 ppg other than jordan? fuckin idiot!! the Guy is the best there is the best there was and the best they will ever be!! and i kno ur a kobe fan but im sorry but kobe stats just dont even come close to jordans!!

[manoletto33]

kobe is a bitch a micheal jordan wanna b don't waste your time argueing with that dumb ass

[nemke1990]

He tried for 5 seasons with Wizards?!?! You are the dumbest motherfuckah on the planet...kill yourself...he was 2 seasons with Wizards and was 39...

[LakersDynasty42]

Jordan is the greatest two-way player in NBA history and that can't be disputed.

[PIMPIN247BIATCH]

lol those players were not good except for scottie pippen. the rest were average and jordan made them better.

[xee00]

lol..u think Jordan isnt the best? who is better? Kobe? lmao

[manoletto33]

kill yo self your an idiot

[gopalltheway]

its a team game but jordan carried them it was like he had shaq.

[LakersDynasty42]

Jordan didn't win a lot in the 80's because he played against the Celtics and Pistons (2 of the greatest teams ever) and he played great as a Wizard but his team wasn't good enough to get to the playoffs.

[PIMPIN247BIATCH]

i have a firm belief had he not gotten hurt that year they would have. when he got hurt they were in like 5th place in the east. dont remember if it was the first season or the 2nd. but i remember that vividly because me and my dad would debate on it. but alas he was hurt so we will never know.

[christisamust7]

@PIMPIN247BIATCH is that when he broke his ankle?

[low803]

its crazy as hell the league banned the shoes he beat up the celtics in

[blackanese18]

you serious???

let me buy a pair! lol

[kingike25319]

doesnt even care about stats like lebron does that freaking chuck......

[Legalitae]

MJ: THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME, THE GREATEST ATELTHE I´VE EVER SENN. THE GREATEST THERE EVER WAS, THE GREATEST THERE EVER WILL BE. Thanks Michael ;-)

[dimascamilo23]

el mas grande k a existido, el mas grande k existira jamas...

[jp3813]

In the greatest games section, they should've included the 69-point, 18 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals, and 1 block game against the playoff team Cavs. That was way better than Kobe's 81-point, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals, and 1 block game against the 27-win Raptors.

[weare8112]

@jp3813 In fact basketball-reference notes that the highest statistically dominating game in the modern nba era (since stats of all types were recorded) is jordan's 69 point game. 2nd is kobe's 81 point effort

[dynnxxhanagi14]

@weare8112 how bout chamberlain, he drops 100 points in 1 game

[glakshmiratan]

@jp3813 -- man-- had Kobe had the 10 extra minutes Michael had, he'd have dropped 100

Mj's the greatest--you don't have to use hyperbolic statements to prove that

[jp3813]

@glakshmiratan But would he have had 18 rebounds as well? The point about MJ's 69-point game vs Kobe's 81-point game isn't about who scored more (Kobe's is already higher, duh), but about who put on a better overall performance. When praising Kobe, it's always about how much more he could have scored, isn't it? Nothing else about the other stats in the same game. Besides, MJ never tries to score 60+ in regulation. He's all about consistency and efficiency rather than one-time records.

[dynnxxhanagi14]

@jp3813 well kobe is the best example of a ball hog

[jp3813]

@dynnxxhanagi14 It's not even about just giving up the ball. MJ's rebounding and defense are miles ahead of Kobe. BTW, weare8112 clearly said "modern NBA era". Steals and blocks weren't recorded during most of Wilt's career.

[c2g1980]

@jp3813 U can say that again. People have no clue of the level his game was at. The blocks, steals, assist & rebounds + his ability to guard the other teams star player while putting on a clinic. Dudes insanely on another level.

[oldmanwithers1]

@jp3813 I agree, but wasnt that an overtime game?

[jp3813]

@oldmanwithers1 Exactly, MJ didn't just ballhog in regulation. He got his teammates involved but also dominated b/c it was a very close game. Same with his 63-point playoff performance against the Celtics.

[jp3813]

Proof that deveraux32 doesn't know shit about basketball:

His first top 5 list in imdb: 1) Magic 2) Bird 3) Jordan 4) Shaq 5) Russell

A few months later: 1) Magic 2) Bird 3) Russell 4) Jordan 5) Hakeem

A few weeks later: 1) Magic 2) Isiah 3) Dr.J 4) Bird 5) Hakeem

Absolutely clueless!

[jordankicks06]

im mad kobes name is being mentioned in the same sentece as Michaels. Jordan IS basketball. "If you looked up the word basketball in websters, you should see a picture of Michael" -Chris Webber

[iceMan]

wrong! its not chris webber who said that phrase... its grant hill, from michael jordan video "above and beyond"

[AceroySangre]

Charles Barkley. Only Mike is Better than me. And its True I Saw Them Play in Both of Their Primes the 1997-1993 Stretch was owned by Charles and Jordan after the Bird and Magic Legacy.

[hitmancoolio]

Marv Albert said Flu-ridden Michael Jordan, ridden means, rid of the flu.

[jp3813]

Wrong! The word "ridden" means "dominated, harassed, or obsessed by".

[stuartgreen21]

no it doesnt

[Metalful]

ok n/m i found out its by kid rock

[Metalful]

whats the song at 4:35

[molpr]

the song is called "suck my dick"

the artist is "butthole"

[Officialachiever1]

Wow having MJ as a dad.

[partwaves]

Tracy Mcgrady Shouldve stayed with the Magic & waited for Dwight Howard bcause when he left he knew they had the NO.1 pick in the Draft.

Tracy know is on a Mediocre Rockets team talent wise. Yao is always injured.

Fuck Kobe. Chris Paul Shouldve won MVP !!!

[traumatic7]

Stats, clutch performance, style, competitive fire all belong to Michael Jordan. He could do it all. Magic even said that MJ was the best.

[deveraux32]

Magic Johnson was the greatest. PERIOD

[wogboy43]

i an only name one player offensivly at michaels level and thats kobe bryant his defence i cant think of and player like him and overall he will be the best player EVER
