- April 16, 1996 after The Chicago Bulls became the 1st Team in NBA History to Win 70 games, Michael Jordan did a Post-Game Interview that completely SHUTS DOWN The G.O.A.T debate. This was 27 years ago & people still don't get it. Enjoy

73-9 is good, but 72-10 has a nice ring to it.
I see what you did there
Damn bro, that hurts.
73-9 and 3-1 on the finals. Then LeBron happened.

@@GenghisClaus I still think MJ is the GOAT though
Hearing this from MJ and seeing a lot of superstars now talking about 'load management' makes the 90s NBA the gold standard of elite basketball IMHO.
It truly was the golden era.
If you guys remember, he sat for long periods during this run, he wasnt stats padding like you know who
Well said
Dame straight
He was too mature for his age the God of basketball
1996 MJ 🐐 telling the Warriors that 70+ doesnt mean anything without the championship 😂
Jordan was the coolest person on the planet and it wasn't even close.
was?
Jordan was ALWAYS a class act. Always a suit. Always clean cut. Always articulate. He had good parents, and it showed.
And no purse or handbag
davidvickers8425, this gen of nba players think they are being fashionistas but instead they just look like damn fools.

Yall sound old asf lmao you probably want the players to all shave thier dreads to huh? This is basketball not a damn black tie wedding or something,their going to play basketball not a funeral smh.
Always gambling. Always hogging the ball the first half of his career.....Stop being a sheep and think for yourself
He never gave himself a nickname, never sat in a barbershop stating he's the goat. He gave the greats their due in their eras and let us all witness true greatness. MJ is the only GOAT
The day the king nickname came out I knew he was a joke.
😂 Larry Bird torched the "GOAT" every chance they met........
So true. Here's a few other things he also did
-punched Steve Kerr in the eye? check
-was 'secretly' banned from the NBA [July 1993] for prohibited gambling? check
-be a sore loser, so he got Isiah Thomas blackballed from the Dream Team? check
bullied the heck out of 17-yr-old Kwame Brown, on the Wizards? checkk
-got Craig Hodges blackballed from ever playing in the NBA again ---all because Hodges asked President Bush about helping Black America, when the Bulls visited the White House after that championship? check
Lebron is the only GOAT. MJ is ineligible, for obvious reasons.
@@carlbrenda6518 just like Barea torched your Queen
The thing with Michael is he didn't have to give himself his own nicknames. His opponents, who feared him, called him nicknames like The Black Cat or Black Jesus. And stuff like Air Jordan or His Airness came about because of the Nike marketing and such I think.
Michael's style was great in that he let his dominance do the talking and he rarely if ever failed to back up his trash talk.

he didnt start calling himself that lmao
So true . The moment he pretended to put a crown on his head was truly shameful. MJ never did that . He was all class
The GOAT of interviews as well. The man oozes charisma.
Hence why ALL kinds of Brands wanted his presence on their product in the 80's and 90's. 😎
And have you seen that interview of Lechoke where he was bragging that he's the GOAT because he won a championship for Cleveland? What do you think of that clown's bragging?
In basketball, yes, overall ever, Ali 100%.

@@joebuss8835 Ali was as good of a talker as he was a fighter, the man had rhymes, charisma, and a sea of insults that little kids could hear but they would still hurt big men.
Interviews and press conferences are key aspects of Boxing, and Ali gave a spectacle outside the ring many many times. Michael was just one heck of a professional with the microphone, he knew how to elevate the game and the income for everyone else, because if everybody got paid more, he would get paid even more, and he didn't like to be antagonized by his words, but his play on the court.
Youngins have no idea.... We basically watched superman every night ....he was frickin unstoppable. GOAT
dont argue with them, they are ignorant... we are just happy we saw the best of the best for a decade... thats something they will never see... Our generation ignores Wilt Chamberlain too... i do believe, Wilt and MJ is the Real 1A/1B Goat of Basketball but hey we are ignorant with Chamberlain... so... yeah its fair to say, our Goat is MJ.
@@MrDotaleavers The sad part about Wilt, is that a huge portion of his career wasn't televised.
They don't even understand the "every night" part
Preach Brother...preach
@@johnnewsham5193 they ignore the PPG part... because they cannot grasp the gravity of these numbers.
The way MJ listed his favorite accomplishments is really something. He didn't care about winning MVP, DPOY or any individual awards. He just wanted to be a champion
Well he knew that is the ultimate goal in playing the sport.
He most definitely care about winning those titles.
some say he didn't care. some say he took them personally.
I think the biggest difference between him and LeBron is a very small nuance. Michael DID want to be the best, but he didn't care about being CALLED the best.
Thats bcuz those are subjective rewards whereas being champion is objective its not bcuz he was this “selfless demigod”
30yrs later, & Bulls footage still gets me teary eyed 😢 it was so special each yr back then 😊

You can't apply that. That must mean Muhammad Ali was just good.
@@uncleiroh7967Muhammad Ali was an outlier.
The exceptions are made for exception people.
Nothing about what LeBron does is exceptional. It's just really good.
@@Ozem_Israel MJ literally argued with wilt Chamberlain that he was the goat. And literally lost. Are you gonna say MJ was an outlier too.
@@uncleiroh7967Ali was 1) in an individual combat sport and 2) was self promoting. He wasn't just talking smack just to talk smack, he was selling the fight and drawing interest that would lead to a bigger potential payday. A little bit different than a guy telling some reporter in an interview "that made me the greatest". A boxer talking smack and proclaiming himself the greatest is something I'd expect. There is a difference. Ali was a fan of wrestling and liked the promotional aspect of it and applied it to himself and boxing. And it worked. The constant whataboutism really needs to stop on the internet. It's destroying rational debate.
@@jbellflower83 which goes back to my initial point. Walter Payton wasn't accurate because reality sex otherwise

JORDAN WAS 🤑 💰💵💶💷💴
1996 Bulls - win 72 regular season games, go into the NBA Finals having lost just one more game with an overall record of 83-11 (0.883)
2016 Warriors - win 73 regular season games, go into NBA Finals having lost 5 more games with an overall record of 85-14 (0.858)
LeBron - "I beat the greatest team of all time"
No LeBron, you didn't...that was, and still is, the 96 Bulls.
The bulls lost to Indiana the next to last game by 1 point. I remember after 70 wins they rested ppl. They could have squeezed out another win and got 73 but they had no reason to.
Well golden state didn’t win the ring so doesn’t mean anything Lebron sucks
With Steve as the Warriors’ head coach, they know they gotta finish the job. Thanks to Klay’s big mouth and Draymond not focusing on just playing, they allowed the greatest comeback in NBA Finals history.
@@eduardsondeguzman9421 yes, that comeback was fueled by LeBron AND Kyrie Irving....but don't tell Bron stans that, they like to think it was Lebron putting the entire team on his back and willing them to victory....doesn't matter that he had a teammate average 30ppg over those last three games on 52/53/100 shooting. Nope, it was all LeBron LOL
@@inefekt Total team effort lead by their coaches and superstars.
Just listening to him speak makes me miss the old NBA. You will never hear any player talk like this again. It still gives me chill bumps watching MJ and listening to him talk about the game.
True... 70 means nothing without a ring. I think the pressure to go all the way made the Bulls even more hungrier to win that 4th title.
💯.. Agreed. They had real animals on that team and were led by the apex predator of the league. There was no way they were gonna lose that year
Both of guys speak real knowledge.
Wait, so the Goat did not say "This is when I knew that I was the greatest of all time"
Stop he didn't have to say nothing because the entire world allready granted him that goat status allready so he could play it cool like well you cant compare eras lol stop mj knows he's the best but with lebron he deals with so muxh unwarranted hate he has to speak his mi d rightfully so
only a moron like lebron would say that.
@@goatstature8263blame the media for the hate. They’re always crownin him the Paper Champ because the NBA needs the publicity so badly.
They don’t care as long as it’s advertisement. And Lebron is rewarded as a billionaire.
He’s also a complete politician when speaking and not the good kind.
@@goatstature8263”rightfully so…”
Right… 😏
@@goatstature8263nah, the whole "goat" debate is a relatively new topic of discussion.
how many times he mentioned winning the championship. When today's standard is going into finals is considered dominance. regardless if they are swept in finals or not.
That’s what I was saying. Lebron needs to see this. Least his fans and crew do
True👍👍👍
Totally Agree....There is a HUGE Difference between winning the Championship and just getting to the Finals. 2nd place is hardly remembered. Its like if u made it to the finals 9 times, wouldn't any team trade that for even 1 championship vs getting there and losing it 9 times?
@@Chase023 Absolutely correct 👍👍👍
@@Chase023
Used that same argument a few times myself 👍
‘An unfair justice to the art and to the artists.’ Beautifully said.
As an aside to the point of his quote-- there is a video where he talks about his hands and how they're like his paint brushes (not sure how accurate my description is but it was something to that effect). It was cool to see the way he also views the beauty of basketball and there was even a video on youtube that I came across several years back that highlighted the way he moves through the air and his ball control. I think it was titled something like the elegance of MJ. Reeeeeallly wish I could that video. Jordan really highlighted a lot of beauty of the game in SO many ways.👏
M@@sophieb5440 awesome. The beauty of the art. I would love to hear/see what you’re talking about..

@@SokinRidis true….but I used my example of Demanding and Deserving to show contrast of their character 🤷🏾♂️
Actually LeBron demands respect. Jordan commands respect.
@@nightrainrose2228 Well said.
the level of maturity MJ displayed in this interview is amazing! ..it's insane to hear how he was put on the spot about this memorable moment, and then he didn't shy away from his response...MJ ranked his most memorable accomplishments in a way that is unheard of, especially hearing him say that winning #70 was at the bottom of his list...MJ displayed an enormous amount of humility....these are the intangibles that unfortunately LeBron still hasn't mastered after 20+ seasons...
Winning 70 is probably lower now that he also won 3 more rings.
He is in his thirties here so it’s to be expected
When Lebron won championships, that state celebrated, when Michael Jordan and the bulls won championships, the whole world celebrated! Jordan was and always will
Be the GOAT!!!😊
Pretty sure Seattle didn't celebrate
Jordan admitted in a interview he dosent want the goat name , so calling him that shows you don’t respect MJ … Jordan competed against plumbers and mailmen , go back and look at some more games they were barely guarding him .. todays league is far more talented and athletic , if Jordan is the goat why he couldn’t get to the finals before pippen came ?
Pretty sure more then his state celebrated y’all just be lying
before pippen came. jordan led the bulls in scoring, rebounds and steals. their second best player only scored 10 points a game. but jordan shows clutchness early on. lebron is more often than not chokes.
@@Asapfortune you must be thinking about bill Russell when the nba wasn’t big and people said they were playing against plumbers and mailman because the talent and toughness was way more difficult in Jordan’s time rules were different as well that made it harder. Yes players today are more skilled because of the evolution of the game with training and technology in how players are developed but 90s basketball and 2000 basketball talent was not that far off from today. I don’t understand why people keep saying he didn’t win before pippen this isn’t an individual sport every champion had a second star or even a 3. Lebron didn’t win by himself
I hope Vin Baker doesn't think MJ is gonna forget that $5.00...😒😏😂
Yeah we got 70, whoopty dooo. Don't mean a thang if we ain't got that rang. Goat talk! 🐐💪🏾💯
"73-9 don't mean a thing without the ring" MJ Scottie Rodman and Phil focus on the task after making history in the season
tristanthompson9002, right and even if the warriors had won one more win than the bulls is way to slim of a margin to call them better.
@@barney5583 people forget the 96 bulls only lost 1 game on the road to the finals, they swept the first round, won 4-1 the second round, and swept the eastern finals...
The warriors lost 5 games on road to the finals, and lost the damn finals. Had KD and Russel Westbrick not choke like little kids on halloween, and the warriors would have lost in 7 to OKC in the Western Finals.
72-10 just has a RING to it.

I miss this, the GOAT. You can just look at him and see the killer instinct in his eyes. Many in todays times would just be satisfied with the 70 win. MJ said it don't mean a thing unless we get that ring!!!! The true GOAT!!!
You see how he doesn’t call himself the Goat publicly? I’m sure he says it amongst his friends and family but, he has respect for the game that he won’t flat out say that he’s the greatest. You let the people say it for you.
I doubt he even says that. He just knows it
He put it on every pair of shoes he sold but, yeah humble.
@@ucanhitme only one shoe he put his accomplishments on. Nike puts that slogan you’re implying to on the shoeboxes. Nice try tho famo

The wisdom of this guy. These modern athletes should take note.
You don’t get that wisdom without the struggle
No one from any era can compare to MJ.
That’s laughable. Today’s shooting guards are required to shoot 3s and are exposed to zone defenses. And if they make it to 6 finals they will be seeing more than 2 All defensive wing defenders
@@williamalexander9485 Shooting 3s is the easiest thing against a zone defense...you are laughable.
@@cinegabweb Well the shooting guard who has 3 seasons of shooting 13,16,17% from 3 and 2x seasons of shooting 18% from 3 will not be the one to bust the zone. No surprise Michael Jordan’s beat seasons is shooting 3s was in the shortened 3 point line era. Of course the 🐐shooting guard went on to shoot a gaudy 23% from 3 the season that the distance was restored 🤣🤣🤣
@@williamalexander9485 obviously he didn’t need to be a great 3 point shooter to be the greatest to ever play, he still dominated as the greatest scorer of all time as well, because he understood being a great basketball player was more than shooting 3s
@@zach1389 You’re assuming he’s the greatest player of all time. He was a shooting guard🙄so shooting 3s is a part of the job. He was averaging in the 30s winning scoring titles when the competition was scoring in the 20s, and he like his peers needed a shortened 3 point line. In his era Michael Jordan’s style of playing was acceptable, but primitive by today’s standards.
THIS IS WHY PEOPLE both IN and OUTSIDE of the world of pro sports RESPECT Jordan. No matter the degree of arrogance needed to push himself to such heights, when it came down to the sport itself, he understood that everything he has built is predicated on the brilliance of those before him. Each with their own contribution that can never be replicated as the greats are all singular entities. Jordan gets this and when someone with his authority states it, you take notice 11:11
"...when it came down to the sport itself, he understood that everything he has built is predicated on the brilliance of..." *Phil Jackson* !
Jordan already admitted, without Phil --he would have never won any rings.
Heck, he even retired when the Bulls' owner told him that he refuses to bring Phil back, as coach. lol
And in The Last Dance documentary, Jordan said he was angry at the Bulls when they hired Phil ---because Phil took the ball out of his hands. lol. You don't say????
So, does that translate into ---once Jordan realized he is forced TO SHARE THE LIMELIGHT is when the Bulls finally won championships?
I bet Lebron wish he was as lucky as Jordan and Duncan ---to have a GOAT head coach who is the REAL reason you are winning championships.
MJ says it all 🐐
Mindset of a winner.
There are so many takeaways from this video. One thing that consistently goes over too many people's head is how articulate MJ is. Some of the AAU bread NBA players who talk like they sign their name in crayola. They're juvenile. There are so many interviews MJ's done and he put that education from NC to great use by demonstrating how to be a great communicator in front of a crowd. Now, to be specific about this interview is how MJ never makes it about him and the focus is always about the reason why you suit up in the NBA - the Finals. Winning the finals. Nothing else matters but winning the finals. Everything else is auxiliary.
I think a lot of guys go out of their way speak as if theyre uneducated because they feel like its cooler to that.
"We didn't have a beautiful game tonight." That's a Phil Jackson quote if I've ever heard one. The guy was just different. He saw a polished basketball game as something legitimately beautiful, on the level of a great work of art or something. The guy was an absolutely incredible coach.
yep. legendary team, coach included.
as I counted, 70 wins was 8th on MJ's top 10 achievement list and had the draft day as 7th (the only "personal" achievement he inserted). But now, I'm pretty sure 70 wins will be bumped out because rings #4 #5 #6 will occupy the whole top 10. those achievement were all team achievements, not personal already.
Jordan’s greatness is reflected in how hard he worked.
His era’s greatness is reflected in how hard Jordan worked.
All the accomplishments he mentioned as most important were team accomplishments. He has always been a team player despite what some people say. Great interview, shows respect to teammates and the competition, present and past. True GOAT.
He is a team player, he demanded excellence to all of his teammates.
MJ had 5.3 APG, Scottie had 5.2 APG. MJ literally was the team player ...
Never been a GOAT debate! You have the Greatest of One's Era. 1960's, the 1970's, 1980's, 1990's, 2000's that have never played each other and never will play each other! The game of basketball was different than it is now! It's way softer! There are no forearm/hand checking, down the lane elbows to the head. There are greatest at their positions! However, there is NO DEBATE when it comes to Jordan vs Lebron or anyone else! Jordan is special! Lebron is an Ambassador! There is no comparison between the two! ABSOLUTELY ZERO! Jordan was a killer! Lebron is weak as hell!
Ai the goat between 96-06
DA eye test tells me MICHEAL AIR JORDAN is a far more superior player AN DA G.O.A.T. GREATEST OF ALL TIME. where is as LECRACKHEAD IS DA G.L.O.A.T GREATEST LOSER OF ALL TIME - LOl HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

LeBron never went crying to the commissioner to stop those bad Detroit men from playing tough. Then daddy David Stern fixed so Jordan can get phantom calls and you call LeBron weak lol
@@MMReason13 No. Lebron just throws himself on the floor to cheat and get others thrown out of games. BTW - physical assault is not playing tough.
@@MMReason13Nah, Jordan got tougher as well as the Bulls. The Pistons were dirty and bad for basketball but the Bulls had to go through them. David Stern was gonna make those rules anyway and most of those didn't take effect until 2004
THE man
This guy charisma… he even the goat of interview. When you see stars today…
Here I’m reminded that MJ’s intelligence was a big part of his greatest too
Lebron, you watching this? THIS is what makes THEE GOAT. Not that nonsense you own bruh...MJ! GOAT!
I just posted this
One thing I just realized is that Jordan played with two HOFers on that team who are best known for their defensive prowess. As you see a lot of these superteams, they are based on scorers and not defense.
Which is probably why most of those Super Teams fail.
True but rodman never made an all-star team as a Bull & scottie only had 4 all-star appearances of those 6 chips
As a big Bulls fan all the way back to 1987, I feel the thing that stung the most about the Warriors' breaking their record was that the Bulls' last three losses were each by 1 point. A little more luck and they put the single-season win record out of reach.
It don't mean a thing without the ring. I'm sure the 2016 Warriors would exchange their 73-9 record for the championship that year.
Their record doesn't count. The purpose of the regular season is for the playoffs. They shot their wad in the regular season and went to two seven game series.
IIRC most of their losses were when MJ had a sub-par game (for him) and no-one else stepped up.
@@philagon The record is the record, but not winning the title pretty much disqualifies the 2016 Warriors as the greatest team of all time.
Now the 2017 Warriors, on the other hand...
@@mrmacross I disagree. Records must be contextualized for their real meaning to be understood. For instance, one could claim that $40,000 is just more than $30,000. But what if the 40k was today and the 30k was in 1970? Anyone with sense would admit that 30k in 1970 made more than 40k today. Numbers never mean anything on their own.
Great find. The God MJ giving lessons on what the NBA and being a champion are all about. The fact that he made the game saving BLOCK also says it all, in a game where he didn't play well. The reporters were better then as well. lol. Actual good questions.

MJ the GOAT but please don't capitalize "god" for some mere mortal.
Makes us MJ fans look like some weirdo Jordan version of a LBJ fanboy worshiper.
Cause now agents control NBA media. NFL has more players and more sources but NBA with Klutch - if you are in the media you almost HAVE to say LeBron is the top player or number 2 because you will get black balled otherwise.
The people in the media who say “LeBron goat” are paid by him to say it. Many of them are represented by Klutch sports too. Shanon Sharp and Nick Wrong fall into this category of people.
They give really good logical spots takes - until they talk about LeBron. Then it’s twisting in pretzels to discredit Jordan with absolutely absurd arguments.
A guy that built super teams and team hopped constantly is better than someone who accomplished way more with WAY less help?
It’s crazy.
You add KD and LeBron together and you have Jordan with zero three peats and needing super teams to get there.
If you listen to nba interviews today the players are soooo much dumber
Facts😂
I remember Bulls sports gear that was sold in Chicago that spring '96 with the printed words: "Don't mean a thing without the ring." Didn't see it again after the summer.
Respect is the key!
I remember how classy NBA players and coaches looked, it really stood out against our local professional sports leagues. Now they’ve lost a lot of class, players look,Ike trashy billboards for gauche fashion garbage or bums before and after games
They make these current NBA clowns look good these days dressed like damn drag queens
They way they wore suit like it's business. Today they go to games and make a fool out of themselves on what they wear. Makes iverson look like a sunday school kid
It’s all about who can make the most 3 pointers in a game.
Seriously. I wanted a suit cause of Jordan. And I have an earring cause of Jordan. That one earring was hugely controversial!
@@ZorzGaming Yep Jordan always looked great in his suits. Not like the hideous so-called suits they wear today. Nauseating to look at
The man doesn’t need to tell everyone who he is! That’s our job and for some reason Lebron doesn’t trust us to make the call!
Kobe was inbetween as well, he felt the need to tell people who he was as well, not as much as Lebron, but halfway.
Lebron is obsessed with it.
If you guys remember, he sat for long periods during this run. He wasnt stats padding like certain people.
macbethdemilo7253, you mean like lebum?🤣🤣🤣
Lmao he was serious when he said he wanted his $5
He cared more about the $5 than winning 70. That's the mindset of a champion
6:04 " I want my $5 Vin (Baker, I'm assuming) 😂 🐐
Michael Jordan will forever be Michael Jordan God made Alot of Great people.
All 10 regular season losses hurt. It almost felt like the Bulls were bored and could beat anybody any night. It felt like the Bulls wanted the teams to challenge them, and let other teams stay close.
True...half of those came against non playoffs teams
The interesting thing is most of those losses came on the road and if those teams happened to face the Bulls again, they got blown out lol.
Please. This GOAT talk is a millennial and genZ topic. In the 90s we didn't even have those debates. We just enjoyed those who were making history! We were in the moment knowing we were witnessing greatness. We weren't haters like this generation.
I remember being a diehard Laker fan. And when the Bulls started winning, I was like dang, they're just better. I never was like, well what about so and so from years ago! They aren't better than THAT other team! Nah we didn't do that . We congratulated who was doing the best at that time and accepted it!
That's something this generation knows nothing about. Simply giving credit where credit is due.
That's FOREIGN to this generation of fans.
They are a bunch of lazy, entitled crybabies.
“ I want my $5 Vin” this man Jordan was really a bonafide gambler 😂😂😂
Gsw tainted the 70 win club by not winning the chip
Nope! Actually elevated this team much more cause it reminded everyone that you can win whatever but if you don’t win a championship then it will be remembered as a failures. This team is and will always be the standard which all other teams will be measured!
Mj earned his respect
Leflop demands his respect
Mj will always be the goat
He even managed to tell the media to piss off in a really nice way haha - This whole interview proves the difference between him and everyone else ….his mindset was so different and 1000% focused on the right thing - The Team and what it can achieve , not him

It ain't mean a thing without a ring. Rings are the only things that mattered to MJ.
The good ole days. Feel that saying. . .
Jordan was one of the few or the only player of my era in the NBA to this day that could compartmentalize his season achievements without losing focus of the one thing he obsessed over which was to win a championship the only other two guys but in different sport's where Derek Jeter which was great but I couldn't stand because he was Yankee😂😂 and another guy I couldn't stand either 😂😂but admired of course Tom Brady.
Just the way Jordan conducted himself during the entire interview was class act. He didn't give the media attitude saying next question like some of these current players like to do Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving come to mind. Even in a loss he would discuss the things they did wrong and how he felt they could fix those in the following game. You can be competitive and still have class and respect. Somewhere along the way. We lost that as a society and it's really sad. On the side note. Did you all catch Jordan say "I want my $5 Vin". Side bet before the game 😂.
MJ cared more about the team accomplishment! It just so happened that he needed to put up great numbers to achieve those team accomplishments! GOAT doing GOAT thangs!💯 #NoDebate #TrueGOAT
He wasn't joking about that $5.00 dude, you don't want him to take it personally lol😂😂
MJ didn't give a damn about the record, he wanted THE RING.
1996 Bulls Definitely the greatest team of all time! 87-13 winning percentage will probably never be broken!
There is SUCH a big difference in the quality of the interviews that stars gave back in the day. Now they just bitch about being criticized all day and hold eternal grudges against everybody in the media that every said anything they didn't like.
i just hope that one day, a post-interview reporter will ask LeBron about the GOAT thing and hear what he has to say (or probably his wife said at the ESPYs 2023)
They dont have to ask him
10:29 MJ did make a very good answer and a good point giving much respect to the greats before him "Learning from them" that word made a remark showing how he really appreciated those guys!
I want my five dollars Ven!!!....😂💯💪
Remember this live rip Johnny Red Kerr and Norm Van Leir great times #seered
We need to start raising more kids to be like him
The usual MJ....intelligent, well dressed, humble, and dignified.
Such a nice change in tone compared to todays press conferences with guys saying “it’s just basketball🤷 “
He was serious about that 5.00
10:30 The epitome of class
I remember watching him fly through the air in the 90s on a Tube Tv made out of wood. Felt electric thru the screen⚡️
That is the character of a true Champion player. Not you saying it about yourself, but others thinking it and saying it about you.
He don't SAY he just PLAY
70 is good but we wanna look back at this after we've won the championship!
Pure winner 🏆
The pundits get paid to bring up a nonsensical debate about who's the best.. Michael is the greatest stop ✋ the nonsensical talk
The greatest nba players call Michael the best. Chuck Daily said of Jordan " he's soo good he's an embarrassment to the league"
Who else gets this praise MJ🤴🏿🎇
Tnx.finally i got to watch this
Just listen to MJ how he answered all the media's questions. He was so intelligent, very articulated with all his, speech and language with how he answered. He was was very professional compared to the players today. They (players today) unarticulated than educated. Sorry but not sorry, just pure observation.
