Exactly. When AI crossed Jordan. He still recovered and contested the shot to the point of almost tipping the ball.

Allen Iverson even said I hit Michael Jordan with my best move and he still almost blocked it

He averaged over 50% until he went to the wizards and it fell to like 49.7%

Another fun stat I like to bring up is how Jordan shot 49.1% field goes for his career but in the clutch he shot 50%. He actually shot 1% better with the game on the line than he did. Any other point in the game for his career

Roy Williams said Michael Jordan ran the 4.3 at North Carolina. How people think LeBron is as fast as Mike is beyond me. But Jordan's greatest physical gift isn't his speed or his vertical leap. It's the size of his hands combined with his grip strength.

MJ is built for one on one speed quickness, arguably one of the best defensive players and the best offense player we have seen. 🤗

The public and his peers said they would’ve fought those players fouling like that..nobody was getting fouled like that except Mike

Dr. J is considered one of the 1st highflyers in the NBA.

The Jordan Rules made it more difficult to isolate a player on one side of the court. This allowed for more double and triple teams, which would actually make it more difficult for Jordan to score. Unfortunately, Lebron is not as athletic or fast as Jordan. He also is not as fundamentally sound, so his footwork, is not as good. Jordan would probably win 6 out of 10 1v1s.

They called him black cat bc he was so quick in lateral movement and first step. I don’t think lebron could keep up.

Jordan shot 50.5% from the field as a member of the Bulls. The year after he retired, he almost severed the finger of his shooting hand with a cigar cutter. So by the time he played for the Wizards, his shooting fell to 43% because he was out of shape, older and because his hand was badly damaged. So his career shooting average is 49.7% because those Wizards years brought down his average.

Fouling, and hitting him would only infuriate Mike and fuel him to destroy you even more

Old video, low resolution, but with more plays: "MJ epic fury".

For the record, Jordan has multiple home runs

React to Michael Jordan Defying Gravity that’s the title of the video. The title speaks for itself.

MJ stats in Chicago 31.5 points per game, 6.3 rebounds per game, 5.4 assists per game, 2.5 steals per game, and 0.9 blocks per game while shooting 50.5%. Career Stats (+ Wizards) : PTS. 30.1 ; REB. 6.2 ; AST. 5.3 ; FG%. 49.7. But keep in mind that most of the time at the Wizards he was injured or played more carefully so as not to repeat the injury (in his second year). The number one problem was that the injury also affects the training, not only the games.

When jordan was on the bulls he averaged 51%. In his best year he Averaged 35 points per game on 55% shooting 😂

The jordan rule is basically the illegal offense rule, it was a counter to illegal defense. So I think from 1947 to 2002 the nba had illegal defense ans it meant you had to play man to man defense and couldn't defend in a zone. It would be a volition if you did and jordan with his quick 1st step and quickness used to abuse that rule in his younger days. The bulls would make 3 guys go out close to the perimeter on the weak side so their defender would have to stick to them and cleared the way for jordan to go to work on his defender. The league saw joedan abusing it so they made the jordan rule "illegal offense" in 1988 iirc to slow him down. I know this is long but hope it helps clear that up.

LeBron Hand Span is 9.25 inches and Hand Length 9 inches Jordan Hand Span is 11.38 inches and Hand Length 9.75 inches Also, statistics show that Kobe outperforms LeBron when they're on iso plays. LeBron struggles when Kobe is guarding him 1 on 1, while Kobe does quite well when LeBron guards him 1 on 1. Jordan would do very well guarding LeBron.. he's one of the best defenders of all time.

Watch top 50 season by individual players of all time. That one will tell you a lot about how good Jordan was

They asked Phil Jackson about a hypothetical matchup between a prime Kobe and prime MJ. Phil said it's gonna MJ, because he has those hands.

Phil and Ted Winter also said MJ is stronger. MJ be posting up Kobe all day.

MJ's hand size is also insane compared to his height. 6'6 with long arms, big ass hands, and a huge vert... combined with insane Kyrie type finishing... a handle that wasn't technical or tight, but was smoothly athletic... lethal post and midrange game/footwork like Kobe or Kawhi... a decent 3 that seemed to come up clutch... the aggressive dunk on you and talk about it attitude, killer instinct like bird and magic... MJ was the GOAT (but I got LBJ #2, and I can't rate the old dudes like wilt and Russel and Jabbar cus I didn't see them play) great reaction so far! half an hour in and you got me subscribing... keep it up! edit: haha I look stupid you literally just talked about the hand size a minute after I paused to like comment subscribe, whatever I'm gonna leave it

Yes, he was over 50%

13 years in Chicago over 50% shooting 🐐

That man was on another level " whoa" MJ was special That's why he the GOAT 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

Obviously before Lebron came there were people who felt Wilt or Oscar, or Bill Russell were the greatest players of all time. The arrival of Lebron did not start that discussion, a lot of people don't even think Lebron is top 5. What Lebron and specifically Klutch sports started was the media obsession with having this debate and placing Lebron in it/trying to push the narrative that he is actually better than Jordan.

Lebron better than MJ ? Bullshit, nonsense. Open your eyes new eyes . Lebron plays basketball like a tank MJ is not a basketball player he is an artist in motion don't compare please.

I'm 65 . I find it amazing I saw 3 all time greats . Kareem, Mike, Larry. Young folks have no clue. Kareem top 3 all time scoring rebounds and blocks. 6 MVP awards. 6 rings. Longevity? Last finals MVP 38 years old. Last ring 40 years old. Magic won finals MVP rookie year. Guess who was still the best player in the league. Kareem was MVP of the NBA. Magic and Bird got the hype

There are some full games of his here on youtube you could react to. A lot of what you see in these highlight videos are things you'd see on a nightly basis.

It's worth pointing out that most crossovers today would have been turnovers in the 90s because of how far down the hand goes on the ball. Iverson broke the mold on that but still got called for holding fairly often when he did crossover.

Interesting to say 1987-88 Bulls were trash.. Horace Grant and Scottie Pippen joined that year. So apparently Scottie wasn't as good, until he was taught by Jordan, how to play. And that's why it took 3 years to win the title. And Oakley and Paxton were already there. Edit: that 1 on 1 practice part was filmed in 2009, when Jordan was 46 years old! Just let that sink in.. 46..

If you watch "16 straight facts that prove mj is the goat" the coach that timed Jordan confirms it.. Thank me later

In college some group of students doing a project on athletes measured him at 46 in vert and that was recorded in their tests but one of them said jordan got 48 on an unrecorded test which is probably where the 48 in thing comes from. I wanna say ingame jordan getting like 44 inches and lebron is probably around that, so I think comparing the 2's vert is a wash

I like your perspective on the concepts of Mike's game. But as far as seeing him getting broke off like he did, it's better to appreciate those moments, because it reaffirms the fact that he's just a man, regarless of how great he is. Super dope reaction, nevertheless, bro!💯

Check out Hoopsencylopedia MJ mix.

The defense you were confused about was Zone Defense explained in a very long winded wordy way

@tommytv5071 You got to react to Michael jordan defensive highlights, Passing highlights, and when he started at point guard for a few games and averaged a triple double.

Michael Jordan's wealth 6.3 billion

Jordan averaged 51 percent of the bulls offense

You should check out Mike’s defense vid along with his passing vid. The man was tenacious on both ends of the ball

Watch video michael jordan shattered the backboard

Just watch the 23 records that it will never be broken by MJ...

check Nba David Thompson Touches The Top Of The Backboard 50 inch vertical...he was considered one of the first high fliers and David Thompson was one of Jordan's idols. they Jordan orignally wanted to attend NC State because of Thompson's play. ... article -

That footage of fouls was the Jordan rules that's why they showed it before the clips

One high-flyer before MJ was David Thompson...Others were slightly before him and overlapped like Dr J, Byron Scott

Mike is the greatest athlete with the best fundamentals and the strongest killer instinct. He truly is the 🐐. I remember they put a life-size photo of Mike's hand in sports illustrated (I think). It was huge! Ron Artest says Mike is basically just as strong as Lebron. But he's faster, and jumps higher than Lebron. There's really not a debate. Mike would Dominate Lebron

There were 2 sets of Jordan Rules. The Pistons rules were strictly to defend Jordan by physically beating him up. The other was league rules to help eliminate isolation ball. You couldn't have 4 guys on the other side of the floor.

MJ has 3 home runs.

The Jordan rules were designed to stop him but Detroit, who came up with those rules, still couldn't stop him!!! Watch the last playoff game against Detroit!!!

@tonyt888

Jordan rule was the from the detroit pistons. It's the defense they used on Jordan to funnel him in the middle and beat the crap out of him. The illegal offense foul that the NBA placed was to limit coach collin's offense where he will put 4 people on one side of the court leaving Jordan destroying the 1 defender. Lebron fans love to say the NBA made it easier for Jordan but yet complain about the hard defense played in the 80's and 90's. They don't even know exactly what rule that was. That one rule that was created was the introduction of the flagrant foul.

How could LeBron guard MJ when Shaq had trouble stopping Mike

MJ hit 3 home runs

So Jordan leading his team in all those categories in 1988 isn't the same as LeBron leading his team in all those categories but "LeBron didn't have any help" but "Jordan's team was trash" at the same time? Believe me, I'm not knocking you at all but this is one of the many arguments you get when you talk about the two of them in comparing them. I might also add that Jordan's teams, although they were trash still made the playoffs when LeBron didn't make the playoffs his first 2 years. So whose team was more trash? Again, not attacking you but these are questions that I always ask every time when the subject comes up

Lebronze always fought back?? Lol.

People that didn't see MJ play don't understand what MJ would do to LeBalco he would completely destroy him. If you thought 2011 finals was bad MJ would have have made it way worse that that for someone as soft mentally as LeBalco.

He shot 50% instead of threes he shot 50% in the playoffs instead of threes and win the game with the line Isa 50% ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
