these testimonies from his teammates about MJ tells how competitive and relentless he was as a player and how high his caliber compared to the rest of the league, I've heard stories about him during practice saying how intense it was that most of his teammates felt it was game 7 finals, this is how Jordan build his team not recruiting some talented players or joining superteam, he just simply build his own just by turning them into championship contenders and also the confidence they felt around him makes him not just the best player of the team but the greatest in his Era 6-0 with 2-3 peats made him the Goat!
Greatest in his era ??? MJ is the-GOAT.
Jerry Krause said MJ never requested to trade or to sign for any one player . He felt he could win with anyone.
Maybe but the reality is he didn’t win with just anyone. I am not saying what I say because I like Lebron because I don’t. Scottie Pippen is vastly underrated by almost everyone not named Micheal Jordan.
@@globaloutdoorinnovations7511 Scottie wouldn't be what he is if Michael didn't constantly pester him to practice so much. Jordan likely won't win as many rings if he didn't have Pippen but I know for sure if Pippen didn't land on the Bulls Jordan would have turned someone else into "Pippen".
@@imfinishedgrinding638Jordan made his teammates better with EXTREME tough love
They say championships plural not singular like these kids today I want to win a championship 🤔
I love MJ as a player, watching those Bulls was what made me fall in love with basketball, but he seems like he was an asshole. You don’t have to be an asshole to win, Magic won without that, Bird, lots of players did. I think it’s unnecessary.
Magic nor Bird won as many as MJ being the #1 player with less stars on his team. so it might have been very necessary...it worked
Terrible comparison. Bird and Magic had stacked teams, Magic came in with Hakeem and great players in the roadster. Mj came into a team that wasn't ready to win. If you really think it's that easy to win in those circumstances you're wrong. Also Bird got 3 rings yes he won but Mj got 6 it's not even comparable. People forget these guys get pay to win championships, he being and a hole because he wants to win is nothing bad at all. If I was there and he was mean to me because I wasn't taking practice seriously I would have to take accountability and do what I'm supposed to do, not go and complain because he forced me to do my job as best as I could.
@@CabralCreates I don't think it's a terrible comparison at all, I think it's valid. I also think positive reinforcement is always better then negative. Look you can't argue with the results and I think MJ is the goat but I do think he was an asshole. What he did worked, but I still think it's always better to build people up and make them want to run through walls for you, rather then making them want to perform because they're afraid of you.
Anyone who makes the NBA, no matter what skill level they are, they probably have a thick skin and have dealt with adversity and naysayers all through their lives, so they can deal with someone like MJ and not crumble under the pressure. Many will but I'd say most in the NBA would handle it, but I just wonder if they would've been better had he approached his leadership in a different way. But we'll never know, just my opinion.
I guess what I'm saying is that I think MJ and the bulls won what they did more so because of MJ being the best player ever and coming into his own in all facets in the early 90s, Scottie coming into his own as the best sidekick, and Phil Jackson providing a philosophy to bring it all together. These factors more so then MJs leadership. I think they would've won those championships no matter what other players were on the team.
In the most successful organisations in history, whether it be business, sports, or even the military, there were always two types of leaders in charge: the tough, demanding disciplinarian (the "daddy") and the supportive, encouraging nurturer (the "mommy"). Or if you prefer - bad cop and good cop. This combo made for winning teams. In Magic's Lakers, Magic was the good cop and Pat Riley was the bad cop. Just listen to James Worthy, Lamar Odom, and Dwayne Wade describe how tough it was to play under Riley. In Bird's Celtics, it was Red Auerbach who was the tough daddy although Bird can also be an "asshole" to a teammate who wasn't playing to his standard - like he was towards Pete Maravich. In Jordan's Bulls, MJ was obviously the daddy/bad cop and Phil Jackson was the mommy/good cop. You'll see this pairing work in business as well (ex: Buffett and Munger).
When people say he was an asshole, I only think: how much is it your weak mentality vs how much this beast wants to win...
He elevated his team by force maybe, but made all of this mediocre to medium players into 3x winners and some other to 6x. I don't give a F how you treat me, (i'm a musician so im used to the shit people in sports have to take) if you lead me to win 6 championships I have nothing but respect and admiration for you... NOBODY did what he did and yes he was an asshole but that's what todays society don't get, life hits you hard AF and you only have 2 options adapt and grow or die.... easy AF
and btw when I say medium players I mean Scottie and Rodman yes they are HoF but without MJ they are just one more dot in the annals of basketball. Pippen was a shit player his first 3 years MJ made pippen and he made the bulls. No MJ no bulls dynasty
You don’t have to be an asshole to win. I love MJ as a player, easily my favorite player to ever watch, but the more I hear stuff like this it almost makes me think he was borderline sociopathic.
@joncoish you are correct you don't have to be, Duncan proved that. That being said it was the way he is built and why he dominated the league the way he did.
And i agree with you, he is definitely borderline
@@nathanmckenzie904Duncan literally wouldn’t talk to rookies for the entire season. Different strokes for different folks.
@dhruvadude808 i had never heard that but aince you mentioned it i looked it up. To the best of my knowledge ot was only Tony Parker and if you listen to TD it was because of a language barrier.
That being said i agree with you, everyone does it differently but in the end the only thing that matters is winning.
And in my lifetime the greatest winnera are Jordan, Kobe and Timmy.
@@nathanmckenzie904 I’m probably older than you because I add Bird, Magic, Russell, and even West, who would’ve had more than one title to his name had he not faced the greatest NBA dynasty of all time.
Will Perdue hit the nail on the head.😮
BJ Armstrong too. I was watching old Bulls games and MJ is surgical with how he scores. 1-2 dribbles and he's already shooting or taking it to the rim.
Respect to Luc... 🫡
Nice video but please lower the music volume.
Thabk You will take under advisement. Appreciate you watching.
I agree. The music is too loud and distracting. That said…cool music lol
@@TheNBAGoatwhere can I find this instrumental??
@@ryanbryant9351 I got it from a paid service
@@TheNBAGoat man wish I new what it was called
"king of the hill mentality" low key shot at nick wrong
I know that Lebalco would definitely back down from MJ but MJ definitely wouldn't back down from Lebalco!! In fact he MJ would go at him harder and we all know why.....because he was a threat to MJ and he took it personally!
Lebron was never a threat to MJ or his legacy thats bs. The only one frm the 2000s that was considered close but not a threat was Kobe Bean Bryant
@@SilentMovements305 well obviously! I was being sarcastic because that was MJs way of thinking. That's something he would definitely say
If you have the proof he was involved in balco bring it out or are you defaming this man also MJ beat old guy’s that had been in the league for over a decade plus George carl refused to feature Ray Allen that’s why the sonics lost nobody was running offense thru 2 guard and small forward but bulls
MJ was great but he never carried the team he left they went 60 and 22 they made playoffs and won games
@@sincere12all10 of course the proof is there but there trying to protect this overgrown crybaby cause that's all the NBA has left. Today's league is a massive joke and people who matter not the Lebalco backers, know it....today lebron is barely top 5. You give lebron the players MJ had coming out any the teams would be worse. Compared to what MJ had, Lehuey always had good to superstar players. You give MJ what lebron had or has .....he EASILY HAS MORE THAN 6 RINGS. LEBRON IS ALL ABOUT HIMSELF, HE'S TOXIC AND JUST NEEDS TO GO THE HELL AWAY
Anyone who knows basketball will know that Wilt Chamberlain, MJ, and Bird are on the top of the pyramid. LeBron (LeFraud) is a great talent but he doesn't amount to they're talent
Wayyyy before Pippen lost his frickin mind
He was tuff on his teammates but it worked. He didn’t do it just to be a jerk. I bet those players wouldn’t give those rings and bonuses back. If Jordan didn’t win, none of his teammates would’ve have taken the hit. He would have been buried by the loss. He wasn’t getting the Lebron treatment.
My grand pappy: "Practice wrong: play wrong.................
My papa used to tell me the same thing.
If you goof around at practice, it will reflect in the games, that matter the most. But if you practice harder and take it seriously the games will become an extension of your hard practices and it will be easier. Second nature.

Today's game with no hand checking he would average double points a game or more. Nobody would stop Jordan.
They don't scrimmage a lot today because all they do is shoot threes at practice
Unsolved mysteries beat lol! Why?
