And back in those days, the big men were still dominant and guards mostly didn’t go into the paint area. These days, you have teammates helping stay pad by boxing out for guards to get the rebound.
Jordan also had a stretch when he played point guard and he averaged a triple double for 10 games in 1988-89. He switched between the two and one that season but still averaged 32, 8 and 8. If he had played PG the whole season he would have had Lebron like numbers.
That’s what I keep preaching to these young folks or these Bron fans. His level of respect/commitment for the fundamentals and details of the game is incomparable to what the stars of today do. They look at the fancy stuff but the little things are what separate him. He fully respected everything he’s learned about the game from his beginnings.
MJ vs LeBron This is a silly debate. Clearly Michael is better. It's not even a close one. But let's go to the facts. Updated after Lebrons 14th season. Michael Jordan has •3 more rings •3 more final mvps •1 more DPOY •1 more season MVP •9 more scoring titles •3 more steals leader •3 more all defensive team selections •4000 more points / bron moved past him in playoff points, but it took him longer lol. •800 more steals •Beat 20 50+ win teams in the playoffs (Lebron only defeated 10) •Jordan never averaged less than 40% Field Goal in the finals Lebron did it twice •6/6 (never allowed a game 7) •Lebron had much more help •Jordan never had a teammate averaged more than 22 points in the finals.. Kyrie averaged over 28 and DWade averaged more than 26 •MJ never ever had a finals meltdown like Lebron in 2011 against the Mavs •MJ had more points in the playoffs in less games.. All of this accomplished in 13 seasons Lebron is in his 14th season still chasing the "ghost that played in Chicago" •Michael Jordan in the playoffs has put up atleast 40ppg, 5rpg, 5apg in 6 different playoff series. Along with an average of about 55% shooting, 3spg and 2bpg. (86 vs bos, 89 vs cavs, 90 vs philly, 92 vs Miami, 93 vs Phoenix, 88 vs cavs) Jordan won every one of those matchups except for the 1986 matchup vs the celtics. •Jordan in 88-89 averaged 32ppg, 8apg, 8rpg, 3spg off 54% shooting. LeBron has never even came close to this stat line. •in 87 thru 92, MJ averaged 5 straight seasons of atleast 51% FG shooting. LeBron has never done this. •the lowest FT% MJ ever shot in a season was 78%. Lebrons highest in a season ever is 78%. •MJ has a higher playoff FG% of 48.7% to Lebrons 48.3% •MJ has a higher playoff player efficiency rating of 28.6 to Lebrons 27.3. •MJ shoots a higher playoff 3 point percentage of 33.2% to Lebrons 32.9% •MJ also shocked the league by being the first (and only) player to have 100 blocks and 200 steals in the same season, then turned around and did it again the next year.. Seriously this list can keep going. This isn't even a debate. Mj is the GOAT. Michael in only ELEVEN complete seasons with the Bulls: -10 STRAIGHT scoring titles, -Won Defensive Player of the Year, -9 times all defensive team, -9time All NBA, -5 league MVPs -6 finals MVPs LBJ missed the playoffs completely in his first 2 years. Jordan didnt with scrubs on his squad. Jordan played 82 games 9 times in his career once at 40. LBJ only played 82 games once. In 89 Jordan won the scoring title all star MVP slam dunk title regular season MVP and Defensive Player of The year something LBJ has never done. Jordan also averaged 41 pts a game for an entire Finals shootimg 50% and won. Something else LBJ never did. All 11 seasons. Mj has done in 11 seasons things Lebron hasn’t done and won’t do in his whole career...

Dwight Caliao dude I have no idea how some people compare. Every era will have a great player that stands out from rest. That doesn't mean that player is as good as MJ. Over the years, we've gone from Drexler to Grant Hill to Penny to Vince Carter to Kobe to Wade back to Kobe to LBJ to Steph Curry back to LBJ. It'll never end. But I don't mind cause the one constant in these comparisons will always be MJ. We're seeing that right now as Kobe now gets overlooked in favor of LBJ being compared to MJ. In a few years it'll be LBJ getting overlooked as the next NBA hot commodity gets compared to MJ.
Hawkins and Cummings, Chicago high school legends... Kemp from Elkhart, IN...right outside Chicago. I was blessed to grow up in the 90's in Illinois..best basketball in America during that time. And we got to watch Mike, every game.
I want to make to note two things: 1. When three point shoots were a resource and not a way to just to score points. 2. Excellent defensive in both teams -maybe a lot of fouls even when hand checking was allowed- to the point in a overtime game, none team scored more than 100 points.
Joshi that’s not true. Players were thinking about percentages.. Hawkins shot most of 3s on Sonics team because they knew his % was higher than others. Today, everybody just shoot 3s no matter the % because “math”....
Joshi you think you can shoot 3s good if there is handchecking? also there are no defensive 3 second violation those day that means you should highly risk your body for a penetration to the basket. these all give affects on your shooting. you should acknowledge that the rules changed the game of basketball
if you actually watch today's games you will see effort on defense. Just because we see more high scoring games doesn't mean players are not playing defense. The rules have changed to allow for more freedom and creativity on offense which makes it tougher to defend today. The pace of the game is much faster now, way more possessions per game, more shot attempts, more 3pt shot attempts which equals way higher point totals. Lastly, today's players are highly skilled and more athletic than ever which also makes it tough to defend. There is definitely a larger pool of talent today. Don't get me wrong I love the 90s I grew up watching these guys. But its not fair to say that no one plays defense today

But frustrating side of the defense, defensive specialists, physical contact and trash talk (which is mental warfare part of the defense) was tougher back then. That's why compare to back then we have less offensive superstars that can play defense as well.

William Dockery yeah right, you got 3 guys on the Warriors who can put up 30 easily, plus a deep bench. Neither the Bulls or Sonics can matchup with the 2017 Warriors, arguably the greatest team ever.
Always loved the series of light-speed adjustments he makes at 4:29 on the catch just to squeeze through the defenders and get the ball out of traffic to get open for the shot (watch closely). Amazing awareness and reaction time. And they want to say someone is better than this guy? Please...
Damn! All the hand and arm checking above the paint so tough back then. Like playing post-up D at the perimeter. Not sure if today's stars could handle this.
Sonics were like the fundamentally sound clippers with a cp aka gary with not plagued by injury an blake aka shawn kemp who ws a monster an great supportin cast of the 90s
Payton actually was the all. Around best player on the floor with the stats shows you how good that Sonic's team was the bulls had to win on the last play bs foul 🍌
Man Baker played great that first season in Seattle I know people missed Kemp but Seattle got a good deal in that trade and Vin and Shawn's carrier had a similar path as both failed to maintain after the lockout
Vin's first year was good I'll give you that, but after that first season he really started declining fast, baker went into all types of addictions and was a non factor. He got overpaid by Seattle.. and it was a huge mistake to let Kemp go, Seattle wasn't willing to pay him and that's messed up.
@@royceg3375 Kemp was going to get paid, he was mad Mcillvane got such a huge contract and demanded a trade before Seattle could restructure, Kemp was only good in Cleveland for one season just like Baker, Baker should have never got the extension when he did, but the actual trade was as good as a team can get after a star like Kemp publicly demanded the trade
So... Basically Glove could stop Mike by preventing him the ball... But once he got the ball, there was nothing he could do to slow him down... Post game and drive and fadeaway all were hitting big time. MJs game had so many layers. The only way to slow him down is to deny him the ball and try to delay the entry pass by pressing and forcing him to get the ball late in the shot clock and then trap him
Nah everyone gets touch fouls. If you are a scorer like MJ you would try to draw fouls and refs know that.. but if you talking about ridiculous fouls nba today is the worst.. it's almost unwatchable to me how soft and often these fouls are called.. cough cough James Harden would've shot 20 freethrows in this video.
1:11 and they say he couldn't pass lol to many times I saw him throw dimes to bums like Brad sellers Dave Corzeine Dickey Simpkins and weak ass longley n they couldnt catch it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 mike turned bums into 3 time champs
Longley and Rodman seldom stop Kemp, Hawkins was killing it from perimeter, and Payton was a beast in both offense and defense. Not ro mention Pippen was ejected. Seattle was a better and complete team in this game, but in the end, Chicago have Jordan!
Now and days, Guards can get rebounds easily, due to more spacing and 3-point attempts but back then, they had to work harder for them.
@Michael Jordan 😏 Yes they did ✅
And back in those days, the big men were still dominant and guards mostly didn’t go into the paint area. These days, you have teammates helping stay pad by boxing out for guards to get the rebound.
@G C isnt that what they say about the 90s being harder?
Jordan also had a stretch when he played point guard and he averaged a triple double for 10 games in 1988-89. He switched between the two and one that season but still averaged 32, 8 and 8. If he had played PG the whole season he would have had Lebron like numbers.
All facts
Look at his fundamentals on that give and go. Yea, he was Air-Jordan...aka Mr. Excitement. But most importantly his Fundamentals were always on point.
m Khan Kobe and Wade know how to play offball tho. Lebron much less than them. And Harden... N/A.
That’s what I keep preaching to these young folks or these Bron fans. His level of respect/commitment for the fundamentals and details of the game is incomparable to what the stars of today do.

Whatever it took to get the W, Mike would do it. Buzzer beaters, free throws, steals, circus shots, killer defense, 3-pointers, it didn't matter.
Gary Payton is the shit. Defensive specialist. Hersey was hittin!!!
Yeah. I remember this classic series. It was great.
The main change in the game from the 90's to today is how much power was taken away from defensive players.
Thank you. These nutt hugging mfers don’t wanna acknowledge that
There will never be another MJ.
Gary Payton probably is best defensive point guard in NBA.
He was giving MJ a hard time to position himself for the ball or down low.

Nba 2k24 Needs To Create 1996 1997 Chicago Bulls And Seattle Sonics Rosters For Playstation Xbox Nintendo
The game looks much more physical than todays nba if I am being honest
All hawk had to do was give it back to the inbounder mcmillian for a wide open 3 at the buzzer
Kicks1981 35 truth!
Michael drops 38
GP gets a 14 point triple double
Dumisa Tony Johnson and the game end up in a close one.... Not like these day lazy ass Kids who got blown out back to back game
Actually MJ got 32 on 10 for 28 shooting, with 8 TO's. Bulls won with BS foul call at the end of game.
Free throw buzzer beater by mj
7:20 what a bail by the refs
Excelentes defensores de esa época cuando la defensa limitaba los marcadores payton, Harper,pipen, el mismo Jordan el baloncesto era otra cosa
So... Basically Glove could stop Mike by preventing him the ball... But once he got the ball, there was nothing he could do to slow him down... Post game and drive and fadeaway all were hitting big time. MJs game had so many layers. The only way to slow him down is to deny him the ball and try to delay the entry pass by pressing and forcing him to get the ball late in the shot clock and then trap him
I wish that NBA super stars nowadays could play against that defense.
Bro mike lived at the free throw line in the 90s
Since 1996
I had no problem with the glove , I had other things on my mind..
he definitely did since this is the same GP from the 96 finals and he couldnt stop MJ in this game second time around
Jordan knew he played like crap after game 3 of 96 finals. So he drops 45 and this game to make up for it. Goat
These games are all rigged. You can't even guard Jordan without a foul (7:20 - Nobody touched him).
Nah everyone gets touch fouls. If you are a scorer like MJ you would try to draw fouls and refs know that.. but if you talking about ridiculous fouls nba today is the worst.. it's almost unwatchable to me how soft and often these fouls are called.. cough cough James Harden would've shot 20 freethrows in this video.
2:05 another dime no look full court pass. Lol he the goat please stop it he could pass too.
Mike had no problems with The Glove.
And ladies and gentlemen you see why Gary Payton hates on Jordan he did that regularly to Peyton and everybody else
Payton was always my favorite
1:11 and they say he couldn't pass lol to many times I saw him throw dimes to bums like Brad sellers Dave Corzeine Dickey Simpkins and weak ass longley n they couldnt catch it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 mike turned bums into 3 time champs
3:13 that better not be an assist
Longley and Rodman seldom stop Kemp, Hawkins was killing it from perimeter, and Payton was a beast in both offense and defense. Not ro mention Pippen was ejected. Seattle was a better and complete team in this game, but in the end, Chicago have Jordan!
4:06 classic Dennis Rodman, always finding a way to get under people's skin
Is it Doc Rivers commentating?
Three players that was demons when they got hot was 1 Vinnie Johnson 2 Andrew Toney 3 Hersey Hawkins they were hard to stop*
The best games..
The did it without you Scottie!
I like this team more than 96
They should cept tha name Seattle supersonic in tha nba yo word
2:52 😂 ok
GP‼️
MJ vs GP W
MJ superstar call in the end smh
my eyes hurt
I Guess MJ can't win without Scottie huh... Oooooo okay never mind
