Biggest thing I noticed in the 1st Quarters was MJ felt the game out. He did majority of his damage in 2nd and 4th. 1st was a “let me see who’s on today” quarter and 3rd was trying to keep game close for 4th where he’d take over.
I always felt like his spent the 1st half trying to get his team going offensively and a little passive and as the game got closer to the end of the game he took over and close it out. All he really needed was some trust in his teammates that they could rise up to the challenge and once they where able to they collectively took off.
Nice. Then this shows signs of MJ becoming that guy who wants his team more involved. By the 4th he says screw it and tries to get the win at all costs. Thanks for replying Uncut. I'm loving this series. Everyone here is asking me to react to your "The Goat of Excuses" vid next lol.
Uncut,skap,angryoldhoops,and this channel are some of my favorite channels on the YT. This 1 I feel like I'm having a beer in the desert talking hoops with another guy
@TheRealMindCrime your channel is fun. That's what keeps people coming back. Look at how the US is right now. This helps us get away from that for a few moments. It probably goes a long way for many people and u just don't realize it
In 1983, I lived in Caracas, venezuela, the Panamerican Games were there,. The basketball was played in El Poliedro de Caracas. I saw Michael Jordan playing against Brazil. I didn't know Jordan was Jordan, but I saw him, in person
I don’t think a lot of people mention his gold medal after college. By himself he took apart NBA pros and all stars. Lebron vs Jordan? There’s no comparison…none.
The biggest reason Chicago made it past the first round had nothing to do with the presence or absence of Pippen; rather, it was because Jordan turned in one of the best performances of any MVP in history, leading the team to a third-place finish in the East, and finally avoiding Boston in the first round. And in the playoffs, he had a ridiculous run also, averaging 45 points on 56% shooting, just enough to get his team to the second round. If we were to apply the same 'with out Pippen blah blah' logic to LeBron, we could say that he didn't even make the playoffs until Larry Hughes joined the team. At least 0506 Larry Hughes was better than rookie Pippen, so it might not that a far-fetched claim.😂
The older i get the more I am accepting how good i had it growing up. I watched the greatest ever do it in real time. Im very thankful i didn't miss out
@@TheRealMindCrime i saw him in 1990 i was 12 it was like a dream but the crazy thing i remember is the energy of the whole crowd every single person there was mesmerized we were like seing black jesus and beause you talked about music anallogy i compare it to seeing Miles Davis or Jimi Hendrix once in a lifetime thanks for your videos
Me too. tail end of 1987 here.. and I only missed one televised game until he retired in 98. Those Friday night TNT games in the late 80's early 90's were ELECTRIC. I got to see him play live twice. One of these was at the Great Western Forum against Magic & Lakers. The energy in the building for that was something special.
29:40 The moral here: if we all tried to model ourselves after Mister Rogers and Michael Jordan, we could reach our potential as a species and as a nation 😆
Pippen DID carry Jordan...off the Utah basketball court...after Jordan scored 38 points to win Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals following Jordan's Flu Game or Food Poisoning Game.
That's sad.....its a simple matter of respect. If we all like a video together then its a great thing to have the traffic flow back to the og vid creator. I've noticed it too though.
MJ had Jordan Rules created to stop MJ from scoring and winning while Leflop had the anti flopping rule for him to stop being soft 😂😂😂 huge difference.
Every single time they talk this bs, I have one answer: lebozo couldn't even get to play-offs without Larry Hughes. Boy...amount of mental gymnastics they try afterwards is hilarious.
More like Lebron couldn't win it until DWade was with it. I agree with Pippen helping Jordan in that Jordan never had to guard the opposing teams best player and even with Rodman you had guys that allowed Jordan to focus on what he does best. Now if MJ competitiveness kicked in, who was going to tell him no. Secondly Pippen made it to the ECF without MJ it would have been interesting to see MJ do the same for a season.
@@saintoflastresorts2272 That's a lie Jordan still had to guard the opposing teams best player in a given matchup for example against the Pistons he had to guard Isiah, in the 91 Finals he had Magic, and in 92 Finals he had Drexler etc
This video and the reaction was great! I didn’t grow up in the 80’s so I couldn’t appreciate Jordan then but watching stuff like this makes me appreciate history. Also, those long mid-range shots then, felt like the 3 pointers of today. Just something I noticed as those shots felt way back in terms of distance. (Not sure if I’m making sense 😂). All in all - I’m thankful for the history lesson in the greatness of Michael Jordan.
Im glad you like learning about this stuff man. Yeah, so back then the step back wasn't allowed in the nba. It was a travel. So those long 3s were because of that. Had to shoot it where you caught it unless you wanna dribble and go back but by then the shot is contested. Now they just hop scotch to the spot lol
22:00 I forgot the commercial, was some kid playing basketball by himself kinda daydreaming: > Double teamed, triple teamed “the whole team” teamed. Yeah, that was a “the whole team teamed” 4 directly on him and the 5th guy still in the paint paying attention to him and no one really else.
Yes I started going the The Mad House in 88 to see MJ play and witnessed him finally beat the Cavs but not being able to Beat the Pistons it was absolutely Brutal to watch him play so hard getting Beaten to a Pulp and Still Losing in the End. But I also watched as Scottie and Horas develope and get stronger so that they Got pass Detroit and become Great Players to help support Michael and eventually Win Championships. also saw
35:10 Quick-decision Jordan was a killer. We’ve seen the clips of him knowing where the double was coming from and making a quick one-dribble move in the other direction into a 50% fadeaway or baseline move. Especially against KJ and your Suns in ‘93. Double-teams could no longer make a difference. Only the dirty-ass Pistons could stop MJ once 1988 came around.
Yeah when i did some rewatching of the 93 finals recently i noticed that heavily. He could read the doubles within a split second and react before the pressure could affect him
Thats MJ scoring 50+ points when defense is visibly better than today, during MJs era, 20 points is a hell of an output and MJ is right there putting out 50plus points, imagine this version of MJ playing on this no defense era, sky is going to be the limit for MJ in scoring.
Cavs straight up bent the Lakers over their knee and whooped their ass last night by 24 points 10-30-24 How Shannon and these Klutch payrollee's can say some of the stuff they say with a straight face is hilarious.
On that series MJ is 45.2 ppg and next to him is Mark Price at 21ppg?😱😱😱 thats insane. 2 all star caliber Mark Price is still 3 points short versus MJs output
Lol people say Mike went 1-9 without Pippen like Lebum didn't go 4-6 with D Wade, Bosh, Kyrie, Kevin Love, and Anthony Davis. Imagine mike with any of those guys.
Yup, I just remember, improving, heart break, improving heartbreak, improving , scottie headache, heartbreak, and then effing bulks on fire, finally clicked, taking no shite, then sweep pistons to play lakers in finals. I mean that is how it is supposed to be done. That's why the worst team gets to choose from best college players. So you can build team and franchise. Not team hopping to play with best buds to get easy titles
Jordan had so many parallels to Muhammad Ali. His retirement has an analog in Ali’s ban after protesting the Vietnam war. Ali reached the top again, and so did Jordan. Ali had some bad losses at the end, same with Jordan’s futile years with the Wizards trying to lift the moribund franchise of which he was part owner. Each of their wills is unmatched, unless of course we include Tiger. Each is the undisputed GOAT to me of their respective enterprises, and delighted us who were fortunate enough to see it.
Thats true. I never really thought about it that way because of the circumstances but yeah, Ali had to step away too then reclaim his throne like MJ did
1. I WATCH ON SATELLITE 📡 TV 📺 M.J. FROM UNC & HIS ENTIRE BULLS CAREER! 2. AS AN INTERNATIONAL FAN, I ATTENDED LIVE HIS FIRST RETIREMENT! 3. ON HIS “I’M BACK”. IN NOVEMBER I WAS IN THE UNITED CENTER, CHICAGO!
During the Pistons 3 year run to the Finals, they had a combined 44-16 record in the playoffs. 6 of those losses were to the Bulls. In the two title years, the Pistons were 30-7 with 5 of their losses to the Bulls. The Bulls were the only team giving them any trouble during their back to back title years. It was only a matter of time before the Bulls got over the hump.
Probably the only other player that comes to mind as being the best at both offense and defense at the same time was Hakeem in '94 and '95, but even that was close to defensive giants such as Dikembe and Robinson. Other players I'd say were close are Kobe, West and Wilt. Potentially Wemby in the future, we'll see. But since I root for Luka, I don't know if I want to see that 🙂. Maybe we could reduce that to positions or at least guards, forwards and centers separately. Because then you really see players such as Jordan, Hakeem, Kobe etc. shine.
Hey Shannon, Michael Jordan was BETTER THAN GREAT without Scottie Pippen foul. With Scottie Pippen, the Chicago Bulls became WINNERS while making MJ the GREATEST we’d ever seen. (Gawd, I hate those two barbershop loud mouths)
(Shannon) The guy is a retired professional athlete that attends production meetings, surrounded by some of the best sports analysts on the planet, proofreaders, teleprompters, and show producers, and not one of them said, “Hey Shannon, do you really want to say, ‘How great was Michael Jordan without Scottie Pippen?’ on live TV? Because it makes this entire network look silly and may make you look like a loud-mouthed clown with a lisp.”
25:50 heh, maybe this is why so many classic Air Jordan shows have “cement” as a color in the color way. “Bitch, I got black and cement shoes and I’ll still drop 50 on you from the air”
Next part "the shot" ! Jordan hitted it over Ehlo, but Ehlo hitted 8 of the 10 last Cavs points with 2 3's and a layup without a miss. He was this night the clutch guy for the Cavs and that's what made MJ's shoot even greater ! 89' Cavs and Pistons again + Knicks : another hard challenges for MJ. Legend series ! MJ's first attempts to win playoffs series and getting further year after year are nearly as entertaining as his defending titles series. About 88' Pistons : It was clear that their offense was divided in two ways : system A team play whithou giving the ball to Dantley, system B, give the ball to Dantley on one wing and every one move to the other, breathe and wait. The two sides were fun to whatch alternatively but it seems there were something wrong in the team alchemy. With the trade beetween Dantley and Aguirre, the Piston's offense became more blended. I know you don't like BB Pistons, but what do you think about that ? Was Dantley an obstacle for championships or 89' Piston's win was only a combination of circumstances (#Lakers multiple injuries) ?
My son really likes basketball granted he’s only 1 so he really likes a lot of things but he gravitates to his little basketball goal all day….. I want him to learn the history of the game and appreciate the greats
I hope he does! Teach him the history and all the past greats while also letting him appreciate the current game. Few years ago my nephew told me Harden was his favorite player and instead of laughing I just asked why and it made sense. Kid has good handles and a great outside shot so its cool. He also loves Jordan so he's in good hands
At around the 40:44 mark when Zeke said how they double teamed Jordan every time he had the ball.......what's funny about that is there are tons of modern fans that swear double teams were considered illegal defense back then no matter how many times they're told they're wrong with proof to back it up
36:40 - I COMPLETELY agree, MJ has the craziest layup package, the only guy that comes closebis Kyrie. The reason i give MJ the nod Is because he played above the rim.
There's another couple of offensive flaws in LeChoke James game that you didn't point out. 1) he's an atrocious free throw shooter and a ridiculous traveling violator (even though he never gets called out for it)!!!
So, by Nick Wrong's logic, LeBron James was a "total and complete loser" until he got to Miami. A "total and complete" loser until he got Bosh and Wade. Wow, how could anyone possibly think LeBron is the GOAT? Here's how, by ignoring history, ignoring stats, ignoring their own eyesight, coming up with stupid takes, and then shooting their mouths off in front of a camera (or being on the LeBron Media payroll). LeBron has never won squat without ESTABLISHED stars on his team (See Bosh, Wade, Love, AD). And even WITH Bosh and Wade and Love, he lost in the Finals. MJ turned guys INTO stars (See Pippen, Ho Grant). Never considered Rodman or Harper stars, but if that's what LeBron fans want to say, that's fine. MJ had already won 3 straight titles and lost none before Rodman and Harper ever got to Chicago.
Lefraud hasn't won an MVP in over a decade he hasn't won just think about it he has not won a regular season MVP since he was 30 yrs old but yet he's the goat he's the king if he's the king Jordan is the Emperor he's 4 kings in one
Actually, it's even worse than you stated. Lebron was 28 last time he won the MVP. Meanwhile, MJ, in his final season with the Bulls and at the ripe old age of *34* basically _swept_ every major award. Regular season MVP All-Star MVP (scored 23 points - I'm just sayin'...) Finals MVP Scoring title 1st Team All-NBA 1st Team All-Defense Ring Jumpman is Basketball Zeus.
I figured out why so many players & even Lebron can hit 3’s now compared to the back then… they made the rims much softer! Just look how hard it is to make lay ups from this video?
With or without Pippin, i believed Jordan can still win championships. Toni, Ron and Dennis was there. Horace, Jim and Bill was there. And how many championships did Scottie won without MJ?
NBA desperately needs real defensive stats. None of the existing stats are valid. In an era where stats is king it's detrimental to ever have real defense again.
completely agree about Jordan as the best because of what he did on both sides. the only player ive ever seen who has the chance to surpass him is Wemby, but it is highly unlikely.
@@TheRealMindCrime I do too. As much as I love Jordan and consider him the GOAT, I do think a player will come along to surpass him eventually. And man, I can't wait to watch when it does happen.
Exactly! The best thing for the game I love would be for someone new to set a new bar for greatness. We'll all wanna witness that and it'll elevate the whole game moving forward.
Who will you Trust a Player that who he think was a Better Player and Plays a Very Good Basketball or a FAN BOIS who doesn't know anything but who is paid to do Lies hahaha
What does Scottie Pippen have to do with LeBron? Can someone please explain? What does any of that have to do with LeDiddy losing 6 out of 10 finals? What does that have to do with Jordan being dynamically better than lebronze?? What does it have to do with him not playing any defense and load managing??? And getting swept off the Finals floor?? Please explain! 😂 🤣 😅 😆 🤡 🤹♂️
Dont forget Kevin Love. Lebron was never good enough to build a team around and have him the leader of the team. He had to go to a team that already had established stars. Then wouldnt come back to Cleveland until Kyrie had arrived and even then they went out and signed Kevin Love. Lebron is scared. Hes always played scared. He wont go to a team unless if they dont win, it wont be solely on him. Michael Jordan was the exact opposite. He was a stone cold killer who wouldnt play with other superstars just because of the fact that he wanted to beat them
If you're so curious about what happened, how about just watching it yourself? So much of your content is for praising MJ. Don't you think it would benefit you and your channel to know first hand and do the work yourself more than relying on someone elses work and opinion? I love the channel, but you can't go on about being like Jordan when sick yet try to avoid putting in time and effort.
Great reaction as usual. Like you, I grew up watching 80s and 90s. Watching your reactions takes me back!
Jrock thank you so much! I really appreciate the kindness here 🙏
You are correct sir. Which is why they have been trying to manufacture Lebron career to that level
Biggest thing I noticed in the 1st Quarters was MJ felt the game out. He did majority of his damage in 2nd and 4th. 1st was a “let me see who’s on today” quarter and 3rd was trying to keep game close for 4th where he’d take over.
So, 1st quarter was "battle reconnaissance" pretty much.
I always felt like his spent the 1st half trying to get his team going offensively and a little passive and as the game got closer to the end of the game he took over and close it out. All he really needed was some trust in his teammates that they could rise up to the challenge and once they where able to they collectively took off.
Unless he was mad. Then it was something to behold
Nice. Then this shows signs of MJ becoming that guy who wants his team more involved. By the 4th he says screw it and tries to get the win at all costs. Thanks for replying Uncut. I'm loving this series. Everyone here is asking me to react to your "The Goat of Excuses" vid next lol.

Agreed. The early failures weren't hidden from. He learned from them and thats why he became the greatest
In 1983, I lived in Caracas, venezuela, the Panamerican Games were there,. The basketball was played in El Poliedro de Caracas. I saw Michael Jordan playing against Brazil. I didn't know Jordan was Jordan, but I saw him, in person
Wow!!!
26:52 Holy smokes Jordan was 70% from the field in game 4?!? I just looked it up, he had 44 points on 72% shooting!
80s Jordan was different man lol.

Hey Shannon, Michael Jordan was BETTER THAN GREAT without Scottie Pippen foul. With Scottie Pippen, the Chicago Bulls became WINNERS while making MJ the GREATEST we’d ever seen.
(Gawd, I hate those two barbershop loud mouths)
So do i lol.
(Shannon) The guy is a retired professional athlete that attends production meetings, surrounded by some of the best sports analysts on the planet, proofreaders, teleprompters, and show producers, and not one of them said, “Hey Shannon, do you really want to say, ‘How great was Michael Jordan without Scottie Pippen?’ on live TV? Because it makes this entire network look silly and may make you look like a loud-mouthed clown with a lisp.”
25:50 heh, maybe this is why so many classic Air Jordan shows have “cement” as a color in the color way.
“Bitch, I got black and cement shoes and I’ll still drop 50 on you from the air”
Hahahahaha 😆
Next part "the shot" !
Jordan hitted it over Ehlo, but Ehlo hitted 8 of the 10 last Cavs points with 2 3's and a layup without a miss. He was this night the clutch guy for the Cavs and that's what made MJ's shoot even greater !
89' Cavs and Pistons again + Knicks : another hard challenges for MJ. Legend series !
MJ's first attempts to win playoffs series and getting further year after year are nearly as entertaining as his defending titles series.
About 88' Pistons : It was clear that their offense was divided in two ways : system A team play whithou giving the ball to Dantley, system B, give the ball to Dantley on one wing and every one move to the other, breathe and wait. The two sides were fun to whatch alternatively but it seems there were something wrong in the team alchemy. With the trade beetween Dantley and Aguirre, the Piston's offense became more blended. I know you don't like BB Pistons, but what do you think about that ? Was Dantley an obstacle for championships or 89' Piston's win was only a combination of circumstances (#Lakers multiple injuries) ?
For highest PPG in a playoff series Jordan has spot 10 as well
He literally did it all
My son really likes basketball granted he’s only 1 so he really likes a lot of things but he gravitates to his little basketball goal all day….. I want him to learn the history of the game and appreciate the greats
I hope he does! Teach him the history and all the past greats while also letting him appreciate the current game. Few years ago my nephew told me Harden was his favorite player and instead of laughing I just asked why and it made sense. Kid has good handles and a great outside shot so its cool. He also loves Jordan so he's in good hands
@ yea its like Melo son liking Paul George but you can tell he polished his game to match the Kobe Melo Wade Bron era
Exactly
At around the 40:44 mark when Zeke said how they double teamed Jordan every time he had the ball.......what's funny about that is there are tons of modern fans that swear double teams were considered illegal defense back then no matter how many times they're told they're wrong with proof to back it up
Lol. MJ was double and triple teamed every game in the 80s
3:45 in a tougher defensive league. On a lot of “take it to the rack without any other shooting help”
Agreed
Man JORDAN’S like a super hero 😳
36:40 - I COMPLETELY agree, MJ has the craziest layup package, the only guy that comes closebis Kyrie. The reason i give MJ the nod Is because he played above the rim.
There's another couple of offensive flaws in LeChoke James game that you didn't point out. 1) he's an atrocious free throw shooter and a ridiculous traveling violator (even though he never gets called out for it)!!!
Yeah I've said it too many times by this point lol. I get tired halfway through listing his flaws. Too many! 😆
King Con travels more than OJ did in them Hertz commercials.
@@TheRealMindCrime Vasectomy Valor is more flawed than Kardashian biscuits - take your pick.
@katrinachavez3533 💯!! No lies told by you ma'am!!
So, by Nick Wrong's logic, LeBron James was a "total and complete loser" until he got to Miami. A "total and complete" loser until he got Bosh and Wade. Wow, how could anyone possibly think LeBron is the GOAT? Here's how, by ignoring history, ignoring stats, ignoring their own eyesight, coming up with stupid takes, and then shooting their mouths off in front of a camera (or being on the LeBron Media payroll).
LeBron has never won squat without ESTABLISHED stars on his team (See Bosh, Wade, Love, AD). And even WITH Bosh and Wade and Love, he lost in the Finals. MJ turned guys INTO stars (See Pippen, Ho Grant). Never considered Rodman or Harper stars, but if that's what LeBron fans want to say, that's fine. MJ had already won 3 straight titles and lost none before Rodman and Harper ever got to Chicago.
☝️
Wouldn't it be correct to say that Melo was more Jordanesk? He didn't learn that jab step, pull up from Melo 😂
@36:04 he needs to correct that and say that Melo was Jordanesque lol
I started watching basketball in 90 because of mj..these kids today have no clue how THE goat dominated EVERYONE
Lefraud hasn't won an MVP in over a decade he hasn't won just think about it he has not won a regular season MVP since he was 30 yrs old but yet he's the goat he's the king if he's the king Jordan is the Emperor he's 4 kings in one
If he's the king MJ is a god
Yes. King Jordan is much more fitting for him. He'd be a cool king.
@@TheRealMindCrime remember bret musk Burger after they won the fourth ring he commented and the true king of the NBA is back
Actually, it's even worse than you stated. Lebron was 28 last time he won the MVP.
Meanwhile, MJ, in his final season with the Bulls and at the ripe old age of *34* basically _swept_ every major award.
Regular season MVP
All-Star MVP (scored 23 points - I'm just sayin'...)
Finals MVP
Scoring title
1st Team All-NBA
1st Team All-Defense

mj lost but lbj never reached playoff in the first 2 years
i just saw this joke... lbj stands for low budget jordan heheh
Low budget Jordan 😆
Glad you liked it 😁😁😁
@@orinocoPLhey its the founder and creator of low budget Jordan.. you sir are now a legend.
@@orinocoPL so much :D
well, if they play it that way, Leflop was a loser before Wade and Bosch... hehehehe
Exactly
The ESPN talking heads are an abomination to the game of basketball, what a bunch of fools...
They used to be legit and they would report on sports. Now its just nonsense
These clowns act like Pippen was some franchise player on another team that was traded to the Bulls.
I figured out why so many players & even Lebron can hit 3’s now compared to the back then… they made the rims much softer! Just look how hard it is to make lay ups from this video?
Interesting. Im gonna start paying attention to that
i am surprised wilt isnt holding the scoring record in the playoffs.
I always was too.
With or without Pippin, i believed Jordan can still win championships. Toni, Ron and Dennis was there. Horace, Jim and Bill was there. And how many championships did Scottie won without MJ?
NBA desperately needs real defensive stats.
None of the existing stats are valid.
In an era where stats is king it's detrimental to ever have real defense again.
agreed
completely agree about Jordan as the best because of what he did on both sides. the only player ive ever seen who has the chance to surpass him is Wemby, but it is highly unlikely.
I hope Wemby does someday. I'd love to witness that
@@TheRealMindCrime I do too. As much as I love Jordan and consider him the GOAT, I do think a player will come along to surpass him eventually. And man, I can't wait to watch when it does happen.
Exactly! The best thing for the game I love would be for someone new to set a new bar for greatness. We'll all wanna witness that and it'll elevate the whole game moving forward.
What if we didn't have it on video? Lebron fans would drag the NBA into the dirt.
If it wasn't on video no one would believe us
If it wasn't on video it would be much like how Wilt is to us. The stories would sound made up.
@@TheRealMindCrime agreed
Who will you Trust a Player that who he think was a Better Player and Plays a Very Good Basketball or a FAN BOIS who doesn't know anything but who is paid to do Lies hahaha
nick wright is so aweful, i really hope he doesnt believe in what he says
I doubt he does. He just wants that money
@TheRealMindCrime exactly. Its disgusting
what your NBA SCARIEST Players, I just watch Jonny video Top 10 SCARIEST Players of All Time
I'll just list a few off the top of my head. MJ, Kobe, Bird, Shaq, Tmac, Steph, Reggie Miller,Ginobli, and so many more lol
Lebron in his first stint cleveland years 09 and on and his miami years a lot of times was the best defensive player on the court.
Jordan evolved offball, something lebron never could and refused to do. Bron Ball vs the team system.
100% Lebron is kinda a ball hog. Ball is always in his hands. MJ had the ball for a few seconds. Make his move and go.
What does Scottie Pippen have to do with LeBron? Can someone please explain? What does any of that have to do with LeDiddy losing 6 out of 10 finals? What does that have to do with Jordan being dynamically better than lebronze?? What does it have to do with him not playing any defense and load managing??? And getting swept off the Finals floor?? Please explain! 😂 🤣 😅 😆 🤡 🤹♂️
😆
Dont forget Kevin Love. Lebron was never good enough to build a team around and have him the leader of the team. He had to go to a team that already had established stars. Then wouldnt come back to Cleveland until Kyrie had arrived and even then they went out and signed Kevin Love. Lebron is scared. Hes always played scared. He wont go to a team unless if they dont win, it wont be solely on him. Michael Jordan was the exact opposite. He was a stone cold killer who wouldnt play with other superstars just because of the fact that he wanted to beat them
YOOOOO @NICKWRIGHT. how can MJ be the loser when its you who got the nose?
If you're so curious about what happened, how about just watching it yourself? So much of your content is for praising MJ. Don't you think it would benefit you and your channel to know first hand and do the work yourself more than relying on someone elses work and opinion? I love the channel, but you can't go on about being like Jordan when sick yet try to avoid putting in time and effort.
