Have You Ever Seen MJ Play In Person?

I don't know who you're asking but absolutely. Seeing him in person was another world, TV and video does him no justice, you lose about 50% of what it actually looks and feels like.

You talk about Jordan shooting too much then try to flip the switch and say he quit. You spoke of Jordan not trusting his teammates during a playoffs where Jordan had his *career high* playoff assist numbers, with only 1991 managing to top it.

By the way, Jordan's high turnover rate here is still lower than Lebron's turnover rate during his playoff runs. Infact, at 7 assists per game, Jordan's turnover ratio was still fine enough in the playoffs. Lebron AVERAGING 4 turnovers per game during multiple playoffs is a norm

I watched Jordan play in person. Thats why I leave Lebron out of my top 5

5 of 6 playoff losses came against 3 NBA Champions and 2 NBA Finalists. The other loss was to the Bucks his rookie year. The Bucks who SWEPT Bird's Celtics in 1983. Moral of the story: Jordan wasn't losing to bums.

They simply didn't have any motion in the offence it wasn't just Mike not trusting teammates it also was the team wasn't ready, Horace Grant and Pippin were just pups. Remember MJ won a NCAA and a gold medal, so he knew how to sacrifice and to play with a team.

Jordan would voice his opinions strongly to the team front office, but he never overstepped their bounds; he respected their roles and tried to go along with their methods, even if he didn't like them at first. The 88-89 season was where the media criticized Jordan for his lack of ability to win championships like the Magic-Birds, and Jordan tried to change that by intentionally recording multiple triple-doubles games. Phil Jackson said in an interview that when Pippen's rebounding and assist numbers surpassed Jordan's, that's when we'd win a championship, and it happened. Jordan and Chicago got a little stronger and stronger every year like that. But Pippen's assessment of Jordan as a 'horrible teammate' in the early showed in this video has nothing to do with the real situation that time, as Pippen wasn't even a starter at the time and was barely averaging 8 points.

Dean Smith and especially Phil Jackson really changed Jordan's approach and also he is a coachable even all of that attitude.

Great video. More need to see this

Yet another genius who never actually saw MJ or the Bulls play providing analysis. The key to the Bulls success came from shot makers like Craig Hodges Coach Tex Winter’sTriangle offense after a head coaching change. Phil Jackson won in Chicago because of Coach Tex and MJ

He avoided injuries

You think you can do a video about wilt chamberlains comp? Despite the fact that he played against the second most HOF player at his position(only behind kareem and parish, which he played 7 years less than both) He PLAYED THE MOST TOTAL GAMES against another hof center….see list below lol (mind you these are their barefoot heights, in the modern NBA you would add 1-2 inches to their height, as players have been measured in their shoes only after 1977) C-Bill Russell: 6’10” HOF (143 games played in 9 seasons) C-Kareem Abdul Jabbar: 7'2" HOF(27 games played in 4 seasons) C-Willis Reed: 6,10” HOF(72 games played in 8 seasons) C-Walt Bellamy: 6'11" HOF(100 games played in 11 seasons) C-Artis Gilmore: 7'2" HOF C-Bob Lanier: 6'11" HOF(17 games played in 3 seasons) C-Nate Thurmond: 6'11" HOF(47 games played in 4 seasons) C-Bob McAdoo: 6’10” HOF (5 games played in 1 season) C-Elvin Hayes:6’9 “ HOF (22 games played in 4 seasons) (Wes Unseld is also a HOF center but he is 6’9) (26 times in 5 seasons) (Dave Cowens is also a HOF Center/Forward but he is 6”9)(17 games played in 3 seasons) (Connie Hawkins is also a HOF Forward/ center but he is 6”9)(31 games played in 4 seasons) (please note there are more HOF PF who guarded and were guarded by wilt chamberlain but the majority of them are 6’8 to 6’9) SO THATS 574 OUT OF 1045…WHICH TRANSLATES TO 54% OF WILTS GAMES BEING PLAYED AGAINST ANOTHER HOF CENTER…

Great content! I suggest you add reference and source clips while telling the story. Like where you got the info of the bulls management having issues with mj taking too many shots etc. This will add more credibility to the story. But other than that great work.

I disagree with this video. When you mention Jordan's "low field goal percentage" against Pistons, I'd like to ask whose field goal percentage are you comparing Jordan's to? Jordan's scoring percentage against Pistons were *STILL* better than most players. And consider the era. The Pistons star players like Isiah Thomas had a worser field goal percentage than Jordan.

Saying he 'never' shot bad shots is disingenuous. Just because he showed up when he was supposed and scored doesn't mean he was flawless. Every player in NBA history, actually, every SUPERSTAR player in NBA history has taken bad shots. MJ was a gunner on the court; that's a part of what makes him great. But you can't deny that MJ shot a lot in those lean years before Scottie's arrival and even in the first couple of years with Scottie. Facilitating was the last thing on his mind; MJ admitted that himself in the Last Dance doc. He grudgingly accepted playing the triangle because he didn't want to deviate from him shooting whenever he wants and from playing how he wants. This was a part of MJ growing up and maturing, just like all players must grow up. He was averaging all those points, but winning just 30-ish games for a reason.

That's a lie when you said MJ didn't shoot bad shots. i watched too many Bulls games not to see badv shots that MJ took. But at the end of the day, regardless of those bad shots, he delivered when it mattered most.

The rest of the team want team 😂😂😂 Chicago was trash 🗑️

This is revisionist history. This MJ was some ball hog is a false narrative. He only took the most shots iin the nba 2 or 3 times. And this MJ passive and wouldn't shoot I don't know where you go that from. I saw "EVERY" game Jordan ever played with the Bulls, live some in person. That game they were tripple teaming him so he passed.

Totally agree. Also being a life long mj fan, we both know mj would never not shoot to make a point to management, especially in the playoffs. Just not in his DNA. Furthermore, his so called stunt greatly reduced the chance to go to the finals, mj would rather play for a chip than one up mgmt. As far as Scottie goes, he cost the bulls a finals trip in 90, the pistons steam rolled the blazers, no reason to think the bulls wouldn’t have also. In 2000, Scottie choked in the 4th quarter against the lakers with zero points. Scottie could have 8 rings…

You mist do a video showing if MJ wasn’t on this bulls and you will see even with Pippen the front office would dismantle this team in 1990. Heck I don’t think Pippen beating those cavs.

i dont get it, why people, why? YES! Jordan needs Pippen, needs Horace, BJ, Paxson, and other teammates, but you do KNOW that Pip was never considered superstar?he only recognized as team player (pre first three peat) LEBUM however, choose superteams (Miami), ask for more stars (Cleveland) and of course whining when his superteams not winning championship (Lakers)

Jordan didn’t loose - the Bulls lost, just like if Jordan played well Jordan didn’t win - the Bulls won. MJ wasn’t a ball hog - his teammates couldn’t score. Collins gave MJ the green light. His teammates didn’t like how he pushed them to help him, that’s what they didn’t like.

What a rubbish video. Jordan had a team full of druggies and alcoholics. Pippen was trash in his first 3 years. Phil Jackson, the triangle and Horace Grant and Pippen maturing.

Scottie pippin is a hater. Scottie owes his legacy to MJ. Without MJ, he would just be another all star. MJ would still be one of the most dominant players in history w/o pippen

Yeah, so it's obvious but he never did this again throughout his entire career.... See, this is why I will always contend that the Pistons gave Chicago the 1991 ECF. How? Isiah Thomas took just 9 shots in game 1 and 9 shots in game 2; Bill Laimbeer took just 7 shots in game 1 and 2 shots in game 2; Joe Dumars took just 10 shots in game 1 and only 10 shots in game 3 while Chuck Daly played John Salley 9 minutes in game 2 while James Edwards got just 11 minutes in game 2 and just 9 minutes in game 3.... Well, if your scorers don't shoot and your coaching staff doesn't play your front court big men major minutes, then guess what? You will lose.... This is why I bring out just do it in reverse: MIchael Jordan takes 9 shots in game 1 and 9 shots in game 2; Pippen takes just 10 shots in game 1 and 10 shots in game 3; Phil Jackson plays Grant 11 minutes in game 2 and 9 minutes in game 3 while Cartwright gets just 9 minutes in game 2 .... If Jordan did that and Phil Jackson did this with his front court, people would think either Jordan was compromised or didn't want to win or something went wrong...well that's what the Pistons did in 1991 and people act like somehow Chicago overcame the Pistons. HAHAHA!

Phil Jackson is the main reason that MJ is considered the GOAT and not just a great player. When MJ bought into Phil's triangle offense the Bulls exploded and we got the privilege of seeing how much better MJ was than the mere mortals that made up the rest of the league.

pU The moment you say what someone else is thinking or what they want - you lose credibility.Saying Michael Jordan had a plan & was a quitter is the most ridiculous thing I’ve seen on KZread! 😅 Bulls management told Jordan they would get him help. Even his teammates knew they needed help. Btw Jordan also played point guard in 88-89 and had multiple triple doubles. So much for your selfish MJ narrative. The man wanted to win - his words not mine. It’s said that MJ’s fans are the worst ( mostly LBJ fan boys) , but it’s usually crap like this that people don’t like. Do better man!

So Doug Collins developed the bulls championship runs
