Thank you all for watching GOAT SZN over the past couple years. This is the final episode I’ll be posting. I think we’ve all proved as a community that this show has an audience, and the concept works. That’s why I’ve pitched this show (now twice) to my contacts at the NBA with the ask that they help me produce it. Use their high quality and rare footage to highlight players that need a spotlight shined on them. Im tired of using low quality VHS rips and bootlegs. The ball is in their court now. I’m fighting to make this show become a reality with their help. If you want, you can KINDLY tweet at the NBA saying “please produce more episodes of #GOATSZN with @maxamillion711” or something to that effect. So that’s where we’re at. Thanks again for watching and commenting. Let’s hope the NBA makes this a real show 🙏🙏🙏

And the wizards were in the hunt for a playoff spot...after his knee injury they lost 9 out of their next 10 and MJ was never the same after that.

I was in DC when Jordan got to the team I was so excited I was about 20 years old and I used to go to sports bars every game to watch Mike it was bittersweet because the team was just bad the team would stand around and watch him watch Mike you know eat the triple and double teams you know it was crazy. Jordans skillset shined as every basket was a win for a man playing guys w fresh legs... Mj really had the strongest will ever for a basketball player

Bruh was shooting 80% on fadeaways, the GOAT

I never get tires of watching MJ play the game.... In these clips, he is still as exciting to watch as ever!

This guy averaged 20 on one bad leg .Just let that sink in.Great video.

Wizards Jordan was like that old grey Kung Fu master, his athleticism was gone but his reflexes and fundamentals were damn near perfect

Jordan had nothing left to prove at this point in his career, was simply playing for the love of the game but between the ages of 38 - 40 proved he could still play effortlessly and put up numbers worthy of himself and all star selection. I mean he was averaging 20 points a a game and played all 82 games at age 40! its unreal!!! what a freak of an athlete this man was. Still schooling kids half his age and setting new records, he was still a bad man and only enhanced his legacy with his tenure with the Wizards. A once in lifetime athlete we will most likely never witness the likes of again. Unreal!

Prior to his injury that season and minus a full training camp, he was starting to average the same numbers he had with his final season with the Bulls. At 38-39.

for the people that still think that MJ couldn't play in this era, it's pretty easy to show. Think about it like this. Go watch any of the MJ goat son videos from the 90s. You will realize that he was so dominate in an era not just with tougher defense, but if you watch closely, you'll realize that the paint was always clogged due to the lack of shooters at the time and he was still able to produce some of the best numbers at the time. Now put MJ in a situation like today where everyone else can shoot. You can't hand check him and you can't play zone cause there will be shooters all around him. by the facts alone, it's obvious that MJ could not just hold his own, but would actually do even better do to his speed athleticism and defense. The disrespect needs to stop, not just for him, but for all the great players at the time.

If Jordan didn’t have the knee injuries he would’ve easily averaged 25ppg at 38. Insane!

Finally these years r so underrated really shows how fundamentally sound he was. N not just all athleticism

01-02 Jordan was very different from 02-03. He took some time to get back into game shape, but once he did he wasn't that far from the player he was in 98. I think at one point he was averaging around 25/5/5. Then he suffered a knee injury and shut down for the rest of the season and was definitely a diminished player in 02-03, although he remarkably played all 82 that final year.

You mean "🦶🏿"

At 38 years old coming off a 3 Year Retirement MJ averaged 25.1 points per, 6.2 rebounds, 5.3 assist, 1.5 steals, & 0.5 Blocks on 42% FG per game through the first 50 games of that season before tearing his meniscus!!

this man & kobe bryant are the entire reason why i love basketball today. i can’t even go a few days without hitting up a local park to hoop. the poetry in motion is so contagious and i can’t tell y’all how many times i’ve tried emulating their moves. it’s no question how or why they inspired so many people. my life wouldn’t be the same without basketball. thank you mike. without you, there’s no kobe. and without y’all two, the basketball world wouldn’t be what it is today. kobe carried the torch after michael retired and the legacy both of these men left behind will keep them alive forever in the hearts of so many players and fans 🙏

Did this at the age of 39!! People forget that he was in the thick of the MVP race before the knee injury.

You’re correct. He was getting better and better as the season went on… Jordan was averaging 30 ppg, 6.6 rpg, 6 apg on 47% FG in the 10 games leading up to his injury.

Bro was shooting over 2-3 guys on him at 38 like a breeze

MAXAMILLION711 THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! Your videos are the shizz for real man. I appreciate ALL the MJ videos. I miss watching this dude play!! Even at 39-40 years old he was CAT quick and just a killer. I read your post, and I am deeply saddened to hear this is the last one, BUT I again want to commend and THANK you for all the hard work and effort you've put in to make and post these videos!!!

the speed and skill MJ still showed at that age was really remarkable, the man was simply the best basketball player to ever exist.

THE GOAT in any ERA

this man came out of retirement to proof to you, HE IS THE THE G.O.A.T.!

Wizards Jordan moves better in basketball than butler, booker, kawhi, and derozan..and those guys are already a star today...imagine a prime mj with athleticism and lethal fadeaway in todays nba.. together with his defensive intensity he will be unstoppable...

They're in their 20s and never seen him play.

Ron Artest said he regret breaking Mike's rib prior to this season.

I don't know why people like to talk trash about his Wizards seasons. Sure, he didn't win any championships. But this is Mike playing at a high level practically solely on skill and fundamentals. Doesn't have his nuclear athleticism anymore, still had a little bit but nowhere near when he was young, and he was still giving teams problems. Literally shows you how good he can be even if he never had all his athletic gifts.

That’s because he wasn’t efficient when he was healthy or wasn’t shooting the average shooting guard percentage which was 44% those 2 seasons 👌🏿

The mj fadeway forever stained my brain

This is why he is the true goat

Thanks for putting this together! I grew up watching MJ and the Bulls, but I honestly can only recall the second three-peat as I was too young when I started watching him in the early 90's. I've always hated people who are younger than me or that weren't even born yet at that time talk about his Wizard years like he was absolute trash. Yes, the team was poorly constructed so he barely had any help, but him individually was still prime time! He had the best fundamentals in the game still, used more screens to get open, had the most pure mid-range J we've ever seen, was still getting crazy finishes, the most lethal pump fake game and some hops left to get a few dunks here and there.

dude was giving all the top players in the league the business. #GOAT

Anyone alive at the time cannot hate Jordan on the Wizards. Younger fans don’t know how crazy and scared the country was after 9/11, Jordan announced him comeback right after and it was definitely something for the public to take their mind off things.

He was giving KG, and Baron work 😂😂😂😂 At this point the game was mastered his mid-range was automatic up and under still finishing at an elite level shit crazy

I’ve been waiting for somebody to make a mix for MJ with the Wizards

The "Footwork" MJ

JORDAN STILL GETTING TRIPLE TEAMED AT HIS AGE, INCREDIBLE, HE WAS STILL A THREAT EVEN AT THIS AGE!!! G. O. A. T.

At 7:17, in the zone, coming off a screen getting the ball pulling up, landing & immediately running back, knowing the ball will hit nothing but net, absolute joy to watch, love it!!! 😊😎💪🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

I just watched 47 minutes of a washed up goat 🐐 and he is still the best player I’ve ever seen. Far superior to anyone.

just beautiful skilled basketball.. wizards jordan is my favorite player ever. Lost his athleticism so had to adjust with pure skill and smart moves and footwork

Man I remember this..I was 15

Been saying this for years. Thank you for putting this out there.

While getting ready to watch mjs top 100 dunks and doing about 2000 calf raises and a thousand pushups I see this on my feed. Max you are one of the greats in editing as I use alot of your videos for my workout motivation. Appreciate what you do

The greatest! 🔥🔥🔥 🐐

I used to tuned in every Wizard games just to see Jordan 💯💯

MJ the GOAT of GOATS! Ever!

The block at 10:30 is fun to watch. He did it with such flare. He wasn't happy with his last shot and was going to take it out on someone or something. GIVE ME THAT BALL! Plus, the bench reaction is the best😊

Jordan had to carry this cast of nobody’s at 38-40 years old…..they would have made the playoffs his first year had he not gotten injured. Crazy after another layoff that he was still this good

Man all those plumbers and car salesmen he was scoring on….😂😂😂 Man he almost ended Vince’s season on that hezi pull up. Chill out 🐐 you ain’t supposed to kill with this much ease at 38-39. That’s wild

mj's wizards career will always be greater than all of leflops championship ring

just check his numbers..that tells you he was efficient. he was even in the MVP running.

He had every fundamental down to a tee. People think cuz players can dribble dribble dribble and shoot from logo they better than older players when MJ dropping 50+ off one dribble pull ups, fades, and ball fakes😭🐐

Its about techniques and not about being fancy...thats why jordan is the goat because he has the ability and techniques to make basketball game so easy

Them 17’s are clean af!! The last truly visually pleasing Jordan’s.

Excellent video! Thank you!

Awesome video…you rarely see Michael with the Wizards…in tribute videos…Great job 👍

Talk about the underrated Air Jordan Retro Series Released under MJ Wizards Years! Air Jordan Retro 17’s and The Air Jordan Retro 18’s! Such classic early 2000’s shoes! I loved both but the Air Jordan 18’s has a special place in my heart due to everyone on the blocc had the Air Jordan 18’s Black Suede and Blue🖤💙🔥! Every where I went everyone from woman, men, and babies had them on! These were some good days and years when MJ played in his late 30’s 💯

Wow Bro. Huge _SALUTE_ to you and your work.. i know this channel for a long time and this is really a Blessing to witness this

Jordan was busting ass at this old age 😭😭 fundamentals will always keep u in the game

Great job, as always man! Reminds me how great MJ was at this point, especially if you didn't compare him to Chicago Mike. I've said this before, I'll say it again. I'd love to see your work on MJ's 96-97 season. You've done 95-96 and 97-98. Keep doing your thing, and I'll keep an eye out for the Flu game season.

Saw your pinned post. Completely understandable. Seeing what you've done with the content available to you, can only imagine what would happen if the league partnered with you, scary. Good luck man, I'll be on the lookout for the next project you pursue.
