Michael Jordan Interview (1990) - Part 2 of 2

[Flipper79able]

Jordan was preaching to the converted when he told Arsenio Larry was a dirty player because Arsenio didn't like Larry Bird anyway. When your white in the NBA.....and especially when your a great player.....black people are not going to like you.

[TheRafaelBond]

this is a TRUE and REAL Guy!! He is not acting ANYTHING!!! that is what i also like about Lebron,they are who they are,but thats what bothers me with kobe!!! ALL the time,hes got this fake smile on,lookin arrogant and ignorant,and just copying Jordan!! stop doing that! and ppl stop comparing them! we dont wanna insult Michael!!

[DaLane4real]

Michael Jordan don't let those underwear be your GOD they are just underwear do not be superstitious.

[TheRealHipHopHeads]

Phil Jackson ended up being a better coach

[arturo7023]

simply the greatest!!! on and off the court!!! my childhood hero.

[3DG71646]

I like how he said "God has truly blessed you" at the end. Things have changed since then..

[flocka85]

@3DG71646 He won a ring the next year smh!

[MrTom236]

His entire family is under 6 ft. He was put here by God to do one thing. Thank you God, for this great man1

[Timario007]

[36tookie]

I never really heard him n a conversation hes great The greates ever

[LifeIsNotorious]

Michael look so much better after he went bald.

[tyandshell79]

Bill Laimbeer and Larry Bird dislike this

[Flipper79able]

It's kind of Funny how Jordan said Bird was a dirty player. Ha ha ha. It must have been tough for Jordan back then because Bird owned him. Jordan hadn't won a title and he must have been pissed how everyone was saying he couldn't win against Bird, and Bird was better. We all know now that Jordan holds grudges, just listen to his Hall of Fame speech.

[thewolfmanchu]

@Flipper79able that's what made Jordan the best of all time. He never forgot when he got dissed. If John Starks talked shit to him (which happened alot), Jordan would explode for 25 in a quarter! The last thing you want to do is give Michael any ammunition. Just shut your mouth and play the fucking game.

[reno93535]

Bird vs. Jordan 23-11. Jordan never beat Bird in the playoffs. Bird also beat Jordan in 16 straight games. Bird owned Jordan during their careers.

[jonnyrisas]

@reno93535 yeah...at the start of jordan's career..you can't say bird owned jordan during jordan's career..jordan in his prime....beats any player you can mention...especially in the playoffs.....wasn't it bird who said....it was god disguised as jordan....and that was just the start of MJ...it wasn't a disguise..G.O.A.T

[flight23magic32]

@reno93535 Well the thing is that Bird had McHale, Parish, DJ and Danny Ainge! I'm not a Bird hater and I consider him one of the best players I've ever seen but he didn't Magic's Lakers that much, cuz Magic had Kareem, Worthy, Byron Scott and Michael Cooper to name just a few, while MJ had nobody cuz Pip started to mature somewhere in the very late 80s...and Grant was never a superstar...

[thewolfmanchu]

@reno93535 they only played a few times in his career in the playoffs. Bird had 5 Hall of famers on the 1986 team! Jordan only had Pip. And jordan didn't have Pippen until 1987. Bird said, "Jordan is God with sneakers on" Don't be ignorant dude.

[reno93535]

@thewolfmanchu Here we go. Jordan had this and Bird had this. The Celtics won 22 games the year before Bird arrived. There weren't 5 hall of Famers on Bird's first year team. And Denis Rodman led the league in rebounding for many consecutive years. So he was of "some" help to the Bulls. :-)

[mjmitch33]

@reno93535 You are comparing two teams in totally different situations. Count the rings.... Isaih Thomas beat Jordan the first 4 years also. Of course Jordan was playing with Dave Corzine, Grandville Waiteers and Brad Sellers... Means nothing. Once Pippen and Grant matured into their third and fourth season they were a great team. So compare apples and oranges.

[hailuunets]

arsenio is real annoying- for a black guy. a bit to eccentric

[mellaLee21]

@hailuunets annoying, for a Black guy? How is that?

Do you mean you expect him be less eccentric and more cool because he's Black?

[RuflessRecords]

It's funny how much Arsenio is enjoying this interview, the body movements etc;

[james040280]

"i had the pleasure of being involved with magic johnson"

-Arsenio Hall

PAUSE

[absalom0412]

@james040280

Yeah, PAUSE, Arsenio Hall was faggot. I knew a guy who knew another guy who sold cocaine to Arsenio and other celebrities. And one day he caught Arsenio and Magic as well as other guys popping each other's arse having a fag fest. So yeah Arsenio and Magic are homos cause u have to bend over to blow up.

[Redrumhydro]

@absalom0412 wheres the proof?

[absalom0412]

@Redrumhydro

It is a fact that u have to sit in the director's chair to blow up in hollyweird. Come on, Will smith and LL Cool J had to bend over for Quincy Jones to have their own show, that was their initiation. The Gay culture runs rampant in that industry, and if u don't embrace it, u don't blow up plain and simple. Y do u think Queen Latifah is a cover girl and gets all these roles left and right...cause she's a lesbian. Meahwhile angela bassett is a season vet, and is way better than QL.

[absalom0412]

@Redrumhydro

Yet Angela Bassett can't seem to land any roles. Tyler perry is another homo, who is worth 500mill and has his own studio cause he sold out and bent over(wasn't hard for him since he's been a fag). U don't hear from Dave chappelle, Kat Williams, and Eddie Griffin, why, cause they refuse to bend over and put on a dress, something black men seem required to do at one point. Hell, Dave was on Oprah talkin' bout this, it's on youtube. I could go on and on and pull examples. Wanda sykes

[thewolfmanchu]

@absalom0412 Whites were told to wear the dress too. Patrick Swayze, Robin Williams, the list goes on. If you don't do what the illuminati want you to do, they will see to it that you don't get any more roles. Sell your soul and comitt a blood sacrifice, or lose all your money and end up in an insane asylum.

[absalom0412]

@thewolfmanchu Very true indeed.

[absalom0412]

@Redrumhydro

Wanda Sykes is a lesbo who once had her own show, Ellen degeneres is another one. Will Smith and Jada pinkett are know swingers who have sex with the same sex. Ving Rhames wore dragged, even bent over on Pulp Fiction and played a gay man on "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry" Tupac was killed cause he wasn't down with the fag culture, even Quincy wanted to pop him, and that's on utube. You can choose to ignore the facts if u want, but I can see thru all the smoke and mirrors

[Redrumhydro]

@absalom0412 no proof!! on most of what you said!!!

[thewolfmanchu]

@james040280 Oh yeah, Arsenio definitely had the pleasure! It's true though, you have to suck cock and bend over to get over in Hollywood.

[cetnik03]

Arsenio sounds very gay this dude wants to be banged by jordan lmao

[absalom0412]

@cetnik03

That's cause he is gay. You gotta bend ova to blow up and get ur own show.

[FightingForFreedom23]

I agree and its pretty clear that the zen-like coach will always win over the dictator coach. Any team that is guided, not controlled, are always the winners. The team that has the most fun and enjoys being out there will always win over the team who is stone cold serious. I know, we won two straight regional gold medals here, and our coach was a bit of a control freak but when he let us go out there and have fun...we ended up dominating. Phil Jackson is the best coach to ever live, in my eyes.

[thewolfmanchu]

@FightingForFreedom23 It's also the Triangle offense. If Miami had the Triangle offense, they'd be unstoppable.

[reno93535]

@thewolfmanchu Triangle offense won't help the Heat. That's why they don't use it. Their coach to run it anytime.

[nbamaster01]

the date on the vis is all wrong...this is all way past 1990.....are u high?

1990? he hadnt won the championship or gotten married

fix it

[blewis9505]

@nbamaster01 Apparently you've mixed up. If he wasn't married what's that ring on his finger at 2:39? Get your stuff straight before you criticize somebody else. BTW: Arsenio asks him about married life at 7:06. So he was indeed married when this was taped.

[Elmaln]

I think he meant that the video can't be held in 1990, because nbamaster here thinks he got married after 1990. Which is false, because he got married in 1989.

[Elmaln]

He got married in 1989, and the arsenio was asking him about whether or not he misses his old coach doug collins, Phil Jackson joined the Bulls in 1989, so 1990 is about right. And nowhere in the interview was it mentioned that he won a championship.

I'd check my facts before running my mouth if I were you, saves you the hassle of looking like an idiot. Pretty clueless for an "nbamaster", rofl.

[MYheroMJrip]

hahaha Michael Jordan is soo Hot. I'm sorry but he is the finest basketball player tooo me. 3:42 to 3:46 sounds very sexual. just sayin lol

[thepunisher88987]

@MYheroMJrip

i hope your a girl

[Flipper79able]

And yes......I am a Boston fan so what?.....go Paul and Ray and Kevin!!!

[MrTehbigcheese]

Yeah, but after his dad it was david thompson

[bigheaded1]

what happened to arsenio lol? haven't seen him in like a decade

[MrStrings10]

there's no 1 like air jordan.. but air jordan....

[MrTehbigcheese]

mj is goat.. dont say he was a dick.. this is the greatest athlete of the 21st century ur talking about...great role model too. i wonder who mj's idol was :P

[LaReyAfro]

@MrTehbigcheese

Julius Erving And David Thompson...he said a few other names in part 1... slow mo as fuck

[MrTehbigcheese]

@LaReyAfro

Calm the fuck down you asshole. Maybe i dint hear him saying it? Fucking douchebag, gonna bang ur mom tonight.

[Johnks23]

@MrTehbigcheese

20th century dumbass.

[JMEASWHO]

@MrTehbigcheese His Idol was/is Dr.J

[Elmaln]

@MrTehbigcheese I wouldn't call him a role model, apart from his determination and never say die attitude of course which is something thats good to immitate.

[nellyg65]

@MrTehbigcheese based on what i have heard, it is his father, which would also explain the tongue thing

[power1doom]

@MrTehbigcheese

The 20th century!!!! and his idol was David Thompson.

[FunkyBunchesOfOats]

@MrTehbigcheese

David Thompson

[ImAProudSteelersFan]

@MrTehbigcheese he was the best player of the 20th century! he stopped playing in 2001 and his 2 seasons of the 21st were NOT winning. he was the greatest B-Ball player of the 20th !

[hailmary7283]

@MrTehbigcheese 20th century.

[23mgab]

@MrTehbigcheese

Dr J ;)

[Mraloneandsad]

@MrTehbigcheese chuk norris

[masterdeviance1985]

@MrTehbigcheese You're making the mistake of thinking being the GOAT and being a dick are mutually exclusive things. Jordan was in fact, very much a dick - especially to his own teammates early on in his career. He was pathologically competitive as well. Granted, it was that pathological competitiveness combined with his athletic ability which allowed him to become the greatest basketball player to ever play the game.

[KOnneh1234]

@MrTehbigcheese His parents ;)

[coyote777777]

Jordan could of won 10 championships in a row,,,,,but didnt get good help early in his career and retired for 2 years

[RODLIN]

he's not going to block MY shot!!!!...lol

[apchunsa]

wow he's talking about $5 mil is tough to get.. boy the times have changed... they should have paid him like 50 mil or 100mil a year for the value they got out of him in Chicago.. I don't think nobody will be as special as Jordan because how revolutionary he was at his time along with his talent, desire, smarts, work ethic, genuine love for the game.. Kobe's mentality and physical attributes are similar to Jordan. I like to study how Jordan and Kobe think bc they have a winner mindset

[SECTION324]

IN 1990 JORDAN WAS 27 YEARS OLD

[bballer23033]

i got my air jordans on right now

[KrfNYC2]

Michael looks different to me here. I've seen 22 year old Jordan and I've seen 36 year old Jordan, but not alot of 28 year old Jordan.

[NooneEverReallyDiez]

hes younger and was alot more thin at this time after losing several times in the playoffs he felt he needed to toughen up and started working out and got buffer for 91-92 season and won obviously

[timjr5000]

Even Bill Laimbeer would admit everything Jordan said was true and legit. Jordan just had the ultimate confidence.

[LakersDynasty42]

Bill Laimbeer won't give anyone credit. I remember Magic Johnson was on The Best Damn Sports Show Period and Bill was there via satellite. Magic talked about how great the Pistons were and after that he said "ok Bill, come on with it." expecting a complement about his Lakers. Bill said "I'm not going to talk about that but we (meaning his Pistons teams) played tough hard nosed and as a team" or something to that effect.

[Vinod222]

lol as you guys say he might sound cocky or confident about himself vs Laimbeer but you know its 100% true facts lol "You know he can't block my shot" Fact of the matter was this was 1990 when MJ was in his prime and there weren't any players who could defend him much less block his shots except maybe Joe Dumars. Michael "Air" Jordan there was a reason they called him that. But now a days people use that term for every basketball player that can dunk. Man there was no hang time like MJ's.

[kendre3]

Remember the pistons came up with the JORDAN RULES.

[FSAYED04]

A. Hall, is a good interviewer... I enjoyed his shows. Thanks for sharing these clips. Jordan is the man.

Peace,

Ali :)

[Speedylightning]

Watch MJ brag a little.

[legacy999]

damn - love jordan's cockiness when he talkin bout laimbeer - 'you know he's not gonna block my shot!' - it just sounds so much better on MJ than Kobe

[cbaldwinjr]

Which is so ironic considering MJ was probably a bigger dick than Kobe (as much as people don't want to hear that or acknowledge it)...he was just sneaky about it AND the media slurped on his jock so much, no one ever called him out on it. If you ever read the Jordan Rules, Blood On The Horns, or The Last Ride...you'll see.

[LakersDynasty42]

Jordan (unlike Kobe) produced on the court though. You're right about him as a teammate but Jordan also tried to make his teammates better unlike Kobe who was just out for self and wanted to leave L.A. when times got tough.

[cbaldwinjr]

That's ridiculous. People always want to compare Jordan's championship years to when Kobe's Lakers were rebuilding. That's patently unfair. How about MJ from 1986-1989? He put up obscene numbers and was nowhere NEAR a title. Why? Because he didn't have ANY HELP. Corzine, Sellers, etc were just like Kwame, Smush, etc. The difference was KOBE HAD WON before and was frustrated. People just liked MJ more so they looked the other way. Jordan verbally beat down Perdue, Cartwright and plenty others.

[LakersDynasty42]

Yeah but unlike Kobe, Mike played a lot better than he did even when he didn't win championships. It's not just that people like Mike better, it's that Mike was a better player. Any realistic fan (whether they like the Lakers or not) will tell you that Kobe copied MJ. Kobe's 5 highest scoring games came against WEAK defenses. Go to basketball-reference(dot)com and look at the defensive rankings of those teams he dropped 81, 65, 62, 61 and 60 on.

[LakersDynasty42]

The biggest difference between Jordan and Kobe (besides championships, Finals MVP's, MVP's, 1 DPoY award and a bunch of records) is that Jordan's 5 best games came against mostly great defenses while Kobe's 5 highest scoring games came against WEAK defenses. Go to basketball-reference(dot)com and look it up.

[cbaldwinjr]

I've never said Kobe is better than Jordan. I AM saying that MJ was just as big a dick as Kobe is/might be/will be. Kobe still has a few years to add to his legacy, but I'm not arguing Kobe vs. MJ. I merely stated facts. MJ punched out and berated teammates, called Will Perdue "Will Vanderbilt" because he said he deserve a Big 10 name. Bill Cartwright to MJ he was going to "break your fucking legs" because he rode him so much. MJ doing it makes him a leader. Kobe is a jerk. It's hypocrisy

[LakersDynasty42]

Jordan didn't "punch out and berate teammates". Jordan hit 1 teammate and that was Steve Kerr. People just don't like Kobe as much because they know he's a fake Jordan. If you think MJ was "as big a dick as Kobe" then why did you come to this video in the 1st place. I agree that people cover up for MJ but unlike Kobe, MJ also made his teammates better. Notice how MJ stayed with the Bulls instead of bitching about a trade after 3 years.

[cbaldwinjr]

LOL, what are you, his publicist? If Kobe didn't make teammates better, he wouldn't have four rings. That's a ridiculous thing to say. I tend to think YOU have the enmity for Kobe...I just stated facts about MJ. Which include MJ berating and punching out teammates. You say he didn't, then NAME the person he did. Until he got some GREAT HELP around him (Grant, Pippen, Rodman, Kukoc, etc) he was as Sam Smith put it, "George Gervin with a nice smile". MJ was just like Kobe minus the media coverage

[LakersDynasty42]

Kobe has won 4 rings and has only been the Finals MVP twice. If you can criticize Jordan then I can speak on him. "MJ was just like Kobe minus the media coverage". No, actually MJ was way better than Kobe. He produced more in the playoffs, won more awards, played better against elite defenses and was a better all-around player. Kobe's great but his inconstistent production in the Finals and against great defenses proves he's overrated.

[coffee468]

thank u 4 callin a spade a spade. yes jordan is the greatest but he was and is a dick. it kills me how ppl say the media overhypes kobe. the truth is most of the media doesn't even like kobe. this may sound crazy, but him and a.i are alike in the fact the establishment doesnt really like them. do u kno how many ppl were praying that kobe never got a title w/out shaq?

[hak2791]

@coffee468 then why did that ref get busted for fixing a bunch or lakers games for l.a to win the year they lost to the celtics

[coffee468]

@hak2791 lmao. are you serious? he wasn't even a referee during that season. please get the facts straight. 06-07 was his last season in the nba. the lakers didn't play the celtics until 08

[Droog13]

To be fair, Laimbeer was hated by pretty much everyone who didn't support the Pistons. He even got punched by Isiah Thomas during practice in 1993, so it doesn't surprise me that Michael would talk about him like that.

[900kingkongs]

and they say kobe's arogant.

[GB0616]

michael is cocky and confident. kobe's a snake.

[900kingkongs]

no kobe's confident, but talking about other player like that thats snakey, kobe wouldnt talk about other players like that. dont get me wrong i still like mj.

[molpr]

larry bird was a "dirty" player???

[likwid2kg]

sure was...watch some clips

[rockyrack1]

"Watch what I do to your boy."

[jordanh109]
