You seeing highlights over time and gained an understanding of how great MJ was. I hope you see now why those who saw live feel the way we do.

To this day I've never seen an athlete more well spoken than MJ.

Exactly 👍🏻! You can be good friends outside court but on it you’re competing against each other. I never thought he befriended anyone just to rip their heads off later. Of course the man had good friends. But it makes up for good stories though 😁😉😗.

MJ leaves the game of basketball on the basketball corner…he competes at everything…everything

I like van Gundy's comment at the end. He didn't mean anything against Jordan with his comment. He was just trying to add more motivation to his players, see if Mike would take offense and change his game, try to do too much. The Knicks had a GREAT team and the Bulls just consistently wiped the floor with them. Van Gundy was just trying to change something up and see if he could stop the massacre. Those Knicks teams were honestly one of the toughest most talented teams in NBA history. They just got Miked is all.

12:15 is harper calling the Bulls play of just "give MJ the ball and move out of the way" cause Jordan when he got hot they could send all 5 on the court at him + 5 just running in off the bench and he was going to score, thre's never been a player more unstoppable

It’s a short video but Jordan shattering the backboard is pretty amazing to see

This is definitely not the Lebron era

Coach Thibs at the 13:05 mark on the Knicks bench.

Jordan is the GOAT for so many different reasons. What he had to go through to win those 6 Championships is unlike, maybe, anything any player has ever gone through to win Championships.

To emphasize Jordan's approach to psychological "warfare". Ervin "Magic" Johnson put it right when he said: "MJ smiles at you and then dunks it right in your face".

yeah bro, MJ's midrange games is GOD-LIKE .. kobe may have that too but not that deadly ..

Nice reation😎.." GOAT "

What coach ever game plan like that for LeBron

The man was a menace. And you knew it. Why would you want to piss him off? Just let him do his thing and take care of what you can. Do your best and hope he doesn't embarrass you too much. You know? Is that so much to ask?

Real talk everything you saying fam facts Jordan da goat

🐐

I saw Chris Childs standing nose to nose with Michael Jordan at the end of the video. Was he the one that 2-piece Kobe Bryant in a game?

@@tonyhatcher6686 lol yea the knicks had a lot of guys that were tough but not too smart.. from small guys like Ward, Childs and Anthony and Starks to big guys like LJ, Mason and Oakley.

There were feelings that Oakley (one of the MOST physical players EVER) didnt knock MJ around as hard as he normally would other players (from my eyes, that was sorta true) so Van Gundy was trying to ignite Oakley as well as the other team.. Coaches say BS all the time to rile up their team and get into the other teams heads.. doesnt necessarily mean he BELIEVED it..

Oakley was a former teammate and one of Mike's closest personal friends and you're surprise he could him normal instead of with flagrant and technical fouls?

@@soramirez5473 I don't think Oakley adding flagrant fouls was the key to getting those teams past the Bulls. I think they needed more and better three point shooting and for John Starks to be healthy version of Kahwi Leonard, which is really just to say a much taller version of himself with a more consistent midrange and 3 point game. Even as they were, those Knicks teams were a lot better than people think. They were better than the Piston teams that won back-to-back championships. I don't mean that out of disrespect toward Detroit. I just mean the Knicks were basically the same as Detroit, except with Patrick Ewing instead of James Edwards at center. They just ran into Mike at a time when he was surrounded by a hell of a team.

@@soramirez5473 The problem is that Riley and van Gundy were always trying to rekindle Detroit's "Jordan rules," giving you guys (i.e. Knicks fans) the impression that the reason you were losing was because your players just weren't "hard-nosed" enough. I think that was a mistake. It put way too much strain on your big men and created too much attrition come playoff time, ultimately shortening their careers. I don't think Oak was too soft on Mike. He just needed to develop a 15 foot jumper, which would have relieved the double and triple teams opponents were constantly throwing at Ewing. Ewing was a good as Hakeem, Robinson and Shaq. Knicks management just didn't strategically surround him with the pieces that would build around his strengths. That's my view anyway: Oakley needed a Bill Cartwright type midrange jumper to keep opponents honest. His problem was never related to how tough vs soft he was.

this was the greatest knicks team of all time .. after this era, knicks pretty much became garbage .. great franchise, great crowd, but they havent been good since 2000 ...
