Jordan checked one Magic Johnson in his first finals game in '91. Led the league in steals as he's scoring 30+ ppg, & was the best shot blocking guard ever - because only Mike had that kind of bounce to be a secondary rim protector from the 2! I've found that people who discredit previous eras to push their preferred narratives are MASTERS at moving the goal post. "He wasn't a great defender. Only had 1 dpoy. Well define great defender! 60% of the league today are great defenders! ..." & That's where I hit pause. Don't like punching down at other regular basketball fans, but that's absurd on soo many levels.
That first caller- saying things don’t make them true. Pull this game up whenever a caller speaks such nonsense. Pippen was getting cooked by Grant Hill so the older Jordan had to lock him him down: ua-cam.com/video/pzH3-Ak7Acc/v-deo.htmlsi=CSa69Pzaye1OMqn1
I love that argument! 😂 Dude you have to respect height and greatness still! Magic was simply bigger and he was COLD! 😂😂😂 But when they switched to a bigger Pip, Mike was in them passing lanes!!! Of course it’s hard to guard anyone bigger than you, but he couldn’t guard him either AND he picked his passes!…besides Magic will tell you! 🤣🤣👍✌️✌️✌️
Jordan was always playing the weak link on defense. He was a glorified help defender that's how he got all them steals because he didn't respect the bum he was checking which is why he was crying about scottie pippen taking his surgery when he did. Jordan had to do more and they lost more while pippen was out. The games were closer. Scottie was checking the best player every night. So Jordan can concentrate on offense. Yall got to stop it. The east was really weak once bird and isauh was done
Hey,I’m from dc,yes we (dc dudes) have always been very opinionated but the dude from who called in, doesn’t doesn’t represent us because slim trippin. He the type when he come around everybody step off cause he going to say this non-logic stuff.
I’m from Chicago and watched 2 DePaul guards, Clyde Bradshaw then Rod Strickland, loved their games and continued to watch and enjoy Strickland in the league!
I agree, 100% with Rod Strickland Jordan is the goat because of the way he dominated his era and the DC dude was Trippin the point he was trying to make was he doesn’t like the way people praise Jordan like he’s God which no one was doing that in the first place and any logical Jordan fan know he struggled in the beginning of his career, in the 80s because he had a trash team, going up against Hall of Fame teams, and players, but he overcame it by working hard and not giving up and that’s why we respect him and his game And it’s funny to hear Paul Pierce call Jordan his goat again, because right after LeBron broke the all-time scoring record, he was on that same show, saying LeBron is the goat now but I know if it’s gonna happen a lot of former players was gonna say this because of the moment, but once that died down, reality comes back, and he realized Jordan is still the goat he was just caught up in the moment like a lot of people and players were 🤷🏽♂️🤣
@@Mandownsports Right! 🤣 and what do you think about Paul Pierce calling LeBron the goat after he broke the all-time scoring record, but now he’s going back to calling Jordan the goat
@@Mandownsports Yeah that’s what I was thinking at the time he was being prisoner of the moment LeBron fans, always want to bring up the clip of Iverson saying LeBron is the one, but they never show that he also said KD is the one right after
@@puncho8799 also we beat up on Lebron too much and that makes people want to give him some love just to avoid piling on. You can tell they know better
The first caller was clueless! LeBron lived thru the weakest eastern conference in history and Jordan lived thru the toughest. Jordan didn't have any weaknesses. It's not even close.
Rodman was not in his prime from 96-98. These the same folks that claimed this man was _old_ when the Bulls swept the Pistons, but he was somehow not old & in his prime in the second threepeat? 🤔. Rodman was a great player and deserving of the Hall of Fame without question, but they like to distort reality to build their cases for X player (no need to say a name). Lastly, the first caller claimed there weren't a lot of "MJ's" in the league. First, you're right. There wasn't another MJ & there will never be another. Now, check the top 20 all-time leaders in points, rebounds, assists, steals, & blocks and let me know what you find 😉.
Jordan's last sequence in a Bulls uniform was a perfect culmination of his career and summary of who he was as a player. The lay up, the steal, and then the jumper to seal the game. He had the defensive instincts, and his IQ was very high. You 41:55 should listen to Jeff Van Gundys interview about Jordan.
The second caller knew what he was talking about regarding the Bulls defense and what MJ brings to it. I can tell he lived to watch Bulls games and series during those years.
17:25 Magic and Kareem, yup it's very normal to have around 2 stars or superstars on a championship caliber team. And let's be real here, the Bulls only had ONE superstar. Pippen was an all-star AT BEST in that entire era. Edit: LeBron NEVER had a dominant era, especially when compared to Jordan. In comparison, LeBron was building an impressive resumé, while Jordan was displaying sheer dominance.
The myth that Scottie guarded the other team's best player more often than Mike has already been debunked. Mike actually guarded the other team's best player more often. The information can be looked up. I know from memory watching Mike play that he definitely guarded the other team's best player. Mike welcomed the competition. He didn't duck nobody.
Nah. I’ll take the 90’s Jordan any day over the 37ppg Jordan. He was a straight cerebral KILLER in the 90’s. Not that he wasn’t SOOOOOO fun to watch scoring all those damn points and catchin all that insane air. Postering everybody. 🤤
Before I even get into the EP…. It’s so hard for me to catch the lives but I always catch the replays. Congrats on 10k. Keep pushing. Great show. And as usual I’ll prob post about 3-5 comments thru the ep as I watch. 😂
People calling in saying stupid stuff like people acting like MJ only played 6 years. He led the league in scoring 10X. That’s more than 6 years. The ignorance needs to stop.
Man Down , congrats on hitting 10k Subscribers I know that I was in the last 500 or so subscribers that put u over 10k and I’m happy to say I was a part of it. Now I’m gonna unpause this video and enjoy u talking about the GBPOAT! Michael Jeffrey Jorden . These vids are like a time warp for me because I was a junior in high school when they won in 91 so I was lucky to actually see them win all of them in real time and was able to see MJ play at the UC mid court against the Orlando game 1 the year after dude said 45 ain’t 23 which we know they lost that series but game 1 of the 72-10 bulls against Orlando I was there I paid $1500 for those sets $750 each but it was worth it $1500 in 96 is a lot cheddar but I’d do it again in a heartbeat. Ok now I’m watching. Thanks for all you do Man Down Sports! Your great talent at your craft! Respectfully Chris Klatter 😊
🤣🤣🤣 I have a homeboy just like DC Slim. I swear. I love him to death. He is the most irritating debater of all time. I would love to hear my homeboy debate him. It should be televised live lol!!!
The D.C caller was on some BS. Jordan was elite in every part of his basketball game down to i.Q. Jordan has loyal fans but LeBron's the one who seems to have worshipers. We just speak facts about Jordan, he was the best all around. LeBron fans think LeBron's perfect and make up stuff to claim he's the best.
The first player I really tried to emulate on the basketball court was Hakeem olajuwon because I was taller even at 63 then most people so that dream shake around the basket worked like a charm! I felt like I was cheating so I would stop doing it after a a few buckets. I wanted to model my game after Michael Jordan but I wasn't good enough to do the stuff he was doing so I felt Hakeem olajuwon was more grounded in the skills I had. As time went on I started to emulate Michael Jordan more and more and I became great with the fade away and the circus shots around the basket..
I'm sorry, but that caller around the 23:00 minute mark can't see the forest for the trees.He's in serious denial about Jordan really being HIM.MJ earned that mystique.Why do people try to look back in retrospect and act like it's some kind of manufactured tall tales.MJ really was that dude.It's crazy how some people can rationalize a way to diminish greatness
I think DC must be an old head who was a diehard Lakers fan, throughout the 80’s.. or maybe Pistons, even. 🤣 He tries resisting MJ’s GOATness any chance he can lol. Love the show bro. Just caught it about a week ago, and I instantly subscribed. Keep up the great work brotha.
Pippen is the same dude that took himself out a game 7 ECF against the Pistons in 90 with a migraine. He also refused to go in a ECF semifinals game in 94 because Phil Jackson drew up the game winner for Toni Kukoc who hit the game winner by the way. Pip had his shots at leadership under adverse conditions and came up small and it’s hurt his legacy. Isiah has been salty since Mike came in the league and got instant attention as well as being beloved in Thomas’s home city.
Certain guys disagree with 65 game minimum to be eligible for awards but if a player played 45 and won an award I guarantee you that each player that disagrees with the current rule, if they came in 2nd to someone that only played 45 games and they played 67 games, they would be livid and let the league know it!!
DC must be a hoya fan. He sounds just like my friends here in Washington DC. They will never get over that bone Michael Jordan laid in 1982. One of my friends actually got the nerve to say, "Pippen was the man on that team" talking about the Bulls. Big East dudes are funny. The only way to get a championship is to root for the entire conference. "Big East!! Big East!!". Oh me? University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill bebe. It's all or nothing. If duke wins wtf that got to do with me?
GP and Jordan both elite. Please name ten defenders better than Jordan tell DC he got swept 2X as an 8th seed but did the sweeping 11X. Even in the handcheck era has anybody ever noticed he never used it His technique was learned at UNC used w Bobby Knight in 84 he keeps them up and active. Ppl forget Jordan had to guard the Pg Sg Sf and times the Pf as a post defender and was still elite.
Ron Harper was actually on the team in 95 when Orlando beat them, they jus didn't play harper that year for some reason. And for the record... MJ was the best defender on that team... scottie isn't 9x all defensive 1st team, he was never DPOY. Jordan was definitely the best defender on that team. U could argue that in his prime rodman was the better defender but at that time, while they were both on the same team I'd give the edge to jordan
Of his four championships, the 2016 Finals was one of James' most memorable. He averaged 29.7 points, 11.3 rebounds and 8.9 assists while shooting 49.4 percent from the floor and 37.1 percent from deep.Feb 20, 2022
The bulls worked around Jordan and pippen. Everyone else played their roles. I am not diminishing Rodman by any means he was one of the greatest rebounders and defenders ever, but that’s a specialist. Ron Harper played pretty much the first quarter, few minutes in the second and third and the last 6 of the fourth if it was close. He was an all around good player. Kerr would come in as a 3pt specialist, Randy brown as a defensive specialist. But everyone on that team had their roles and played them perfectly. They were built as a team, not this ridiculous I need more superstars, iso ball, no defense, turnover, flop league it is.
I can arguably agree with EVERYTHING Hakeem said! Rodman was STILL in his prime…but he was ALWAYS in shape! 🤣🤣🤣and the defense on Shaq and Karl CAN’T be DENIED!!!!
Jordan I believe avg. over 30 against more than half the existing teams in the league of the 90s. I don’t even think the next person they claim to be the goat has even done that.
MJ has the better career… Basketball is about winning and how you win… The way MJ career went it had its ups and downs overcoming failure.. Never cheating the grind or process. Dominating individually & team wise. He became the standard for most professional basketball players.. Mastered the Shooting Guard position from every aspect.
About MJ defence. He was an all time defender before the first retirement. When he came back you saw a drop in steals and blocks but he was still a great defender,but not like his younger days
That defense caller was really hard to listen to. Asking who the best defender is is just like asking best scorer. Are we talking about 3pt? Dunking? Post game? Steals? Blocks? Rebounding? Slipping screens? There are levels and aspects to consider.
Man, DC slim making my city look bad. I don't know if this guy played, given someone the points he made. Being born in DC and going to a school like Bishop McNamara ( in my conference is schools like Archbishop Carroll, DeMatha, Gonzaga, Paul VI and more), defense was stressed the 1st time I got on the court. That said, when you talk defense, it's more than on ball. It's learning the zone tactics, manning passing lanes, understanding a players weaknesses, whether it be ballhandling, dribbling, shooting, or athleticism. If you know a player's weakness and you don't have to work that hard, that just means you're better and have done your homework. It doesn't lessen how good you are as a player. As the caller said, Jordan never had a big 3 or a dominant big man, not even a dominant power forward. That in and of itself shows the depth of his skills. Chocolate city DC all day from Lenny Bias to Quinn Cook.
Salute to you bro because when I start my podcast I’m telling all the guys like the 1st caller “get the f*ck off my show. Next”. And I’m 20 years old so I know ima get into a lot of arguments with the older guys lmao
I don’t think anyone on social media or news outlets ESPN Fox Sports anywhere has ever said that one individual is the greatest defender of all time. I’ve never heard anyone say that it’s either good defender or not.
MJ was always playing help D in the paint against other bigs because he tried to help make up for the smallness of their lineup. Not knowing where MJ would be added a level of rushed shots in the paint…Jordan at times baited bugs into coming his way.
Many BRON lovers are digging in the crates to knock Jordan off his rightful place . AT THE END OF THE DAY If your the GREATEST you don’t miss the playoffs with 4 future HOFers on your team (Lakers 2 years ago) A team (age wise ) older than the 98 BULLS I can go on ALL day but I’ll stop right HERE
Lebron is TAMPERING and CHEATING through his own sports agency UnKlutch Sports in order to collude and form another Superteam so that he can short cut the winning process again smh When people ask me why I have Lebron outside of my top 40 all time, this is one of the reasons why smh Dude literally NEEDS his own Sports Agency to poach players & hurt other teams, he NEEDS to stack the deck with super teams, he NEEDS 2 or more All Stars & HOF help, he NEEDS all of these trades every year, he NEEDS the media to spin false narratives & not critic his antics & failures, he NEEDS to be in the weaker conference, he NEEDS to go against weaker teams, he NEEDS the Refs/League to Rig things in his favor and let him get away with all of these illegal things that he is doing, he NEEDS bailouts from Refs/League, he NEEDS PED’s etc etc all for him to be competitive 😂 smh All of that help above and the dude STILL has a losing record in the Finals 😂🤣 smh Most overrated player in ALL of Sports History smh Totally manufactured & fraudulent career smh 😂
it's funny when i hear dudes say they "watched" mj play. just the same as they "watch" lebron....they don't actually pay attention. pippen was not the elite defender on the bulls over mj. even watching pippen in that first finals win.....that series...mj is noted to give pippen the credit for locking down magic and worthy, but it was actually michael picking up pippen's slack. it's wild
I already knew Sheed was full of it u can hear the condescendance in his tone. Sheed was drafted 95 Strickland was drafted 88 his word got more credibility 😂😂😂
Dude never watched one full Mj game you can tell, he say Mj never guarded the number one player that’s wild Pippen didn’t guard the best player the whole game sometimes Him and Mj switch like Mj played better defense on Penny than Pippen did Penny use to destroy Pippen.
KG is telling the real truth! The desire comes from within. The beauty is over coming the struggle of the journey. The money men have taken over sports and taught athletes the easiest path to victory. It's really too bad because athletes and fans don't get to experience their best.
Brunson left Dallas cuz he knew he could be who he is rn and Luka was preventing him from excelling. And now LBJ wants to go to NYC and fk him up by taking the ball out of his hands. I sure hope that doesn’t happen. I want to see this guy keep making strides.
Unfortunately it’s going to happen smh Lebron is TAMPERING and CHEATING through his own sports agency UnKlutch Sports in order to collude and form another Superteam so that he can short cut the winning process again smh When people ask me why I have Lebron outside of my top 40 all time, this is one of the reasons why smh Dude literally NEEDS his own Sports Agency to poach players & hurt other teams, he NEEDS to stack the deck with super teams, he NEEDS 2 or more All Stars & HOF help, he NEEDS all of these trades every year, he NEEDS the media to spin false narratives & not critic his antics & failures, he NEEDS to be in the weaker conference, he NEEDS to go against weaker teams, he NEEDS the Refs/League to Rig things in his favor and let him get away with all of these illegal things that he is doing, he NEEDS bailouts from Refs/League, he NEEDS PED’s etc etc all for him to be competitive 😂 smh All of that help above the dude STILL has a losing record in the Finals 😂🤣 smh Most overrated player in ALL of Sports History smh Totally manufactured & fraudulent career smh 😂

One of the things I appreciate about MJ is that he never took shortcuts to greatness.

🗣️FACTS ! REAL TALK .>🎤 🏀🗑️
Great Content !! As always
Glad you enjoyed it
Holy shit bro discovered you bout couple months ago this channel blowing up I fwy! 💯
Salute homie
I love how even keeled and informative your content is
Thanks
DC saying “…we gonna smoke & drink…” 🤣🤣🤣 Love this Podcast!!!!💯
I ain't smoking nothing that's in his pipe. Lol the drinks are fine
DC must be a hoya fan. He sounds just like my friends here in Washington DC. They will never get over that bone Michael Jordan laid in 1982. One of my friends actually got the nerve to say, "Pippen was the man on that team" talking about the Bulls. Big East dudes are funny. The only way to get a championship is to root for the entire conference. "Big East!! Big East!!". Oh me? University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill bebe. It's all or nothing. If duke wins wtf that got to do with me?
I wish I could've talked to this first caller live... 🤦🏾♂️🤣
I watched rod Strickland when he played for the DePaul bluedemons
Congrats on 10k!!
Dudes who never played ball at a high level calling MJ an average defender. Calling in with talking points. Smh
Jordan was an amazing help defender!!!
GP and Jordan both elite. Please name ten defenders better than Jordan tell DC he got swept 2X as an 8th seed but did the sweeping 11X. Even in the handcheck era has anybody ever noticed he never used it
His technique was learned at UNC used w Bobby Knight in 84 he keeps them up and active. Ppl forget Jordan had to guard the Pg Sg Sf and times the Pf as a post defender and was still elite.
Preach
Ron Harper was actually on the team in 95 when Orlando beat them, they jus didn't play harper that year for some reason.
And for the record... MJ was the best defender on that team... scottie isn't 9x all defensive 1st team, he was never DPOY. Jordan was definitely the best defender on that team. U could argue that in his prime rodman was the better defender but at that time, while they were both on the same team I'd give the edge to jordan
Where would the NBA be at today if Michael Jordan didn’t play in the NBA? And, what team do you think will be champions?
WGN chicago bulls game time 7:30, when chicago won their last championship in 98 i was turning 17 that September
Same here bro, I was a huge Rod Strickland fan growing up. Great to see Kyrie model his game after him.
Rod was really good
MJ 💯🐐
First caller must've been smoking crack through the 90's!
Love ya content bro. Fr. You know what you talking about and you keep it real.
My dawg 💪
Of his four championships, the 2016 Finals was one of James' most memorable. He averaged 29.7 points, 11.3 rebounds and 8.9 assists while shooting 49.4 percent from the floor and 37.1 percent from deep.Feb 20, 2022
The bulls worked around Jordan and pippen. Everyone else played their roles. I am not diminishing Rodman by any means he was one of the greatest rebounders and defenders ever, but that’s a specialist. Ron Harper played pretty much the first quarter, few minutes in the second and third and the last 6 of the fourth if it was close. He was an all around good player. Kerr would come in as a 3pt specialist, Randy brown as a defensive specialist. But everyone on that team had their roles and played them perfectly. They were built as a team, not this ridiculous I need more superstars, iso ball, no defense, turnover, flop league it is.
17:25 - Did he just say, “It’s not normal.
It’s ad-normal.”?? 😂
No
Hakeem had guard feet!🤣🤣🤣 COLDEST big man in my time!
You're right! And even he was cooked by shaq and Patrick from time to time
@ There were a lot of good to great players in that time at all 5 positions.
Lefraud Blames
I grew up with Rod Strickland I’m from Mitchell projects definitely one of the top five point guards in the NBA
For sure
I can arguably agree with EVERYTHING Hakeem said! Rodman was STILL in his prime…but he was ALWAYS in shape! 🤣🤣🤣and the defense on Shaq and Karl CAN’T be DENIED!!!!
Jordan I believe avg. over 30 against more than half the existing teams in the league of the 90s. I don’t even think the next person they claim to be the goat has even done that.
MJ has the better career… Basketball is about winning and how you win… The way MJ career went it had its ups and downs overcoming failure.. Never cheating the grind or process. Dominating individually & team wise. He became the standard for most professional basketball players.. Mastered the Shooting Guard position from every aspect.
🗣️MJ MASTERED BASKETBALL PERIOD AS AN OVERALL PLAYER▶️ .>🎤 🏀🗑️
When people talk about era who played against more dominant centers than MJ the league from top to bottom was like king Kong💪💪*
Ever appear to you that probably 75% of the teams back then best players was big men? Where was Mj rival at his position, and where would he rank now?
I respect your patience talking to DC 😂😂😂
Lol 😆 🤣
About MJ defence. He was an all time defender before the first retirement. When he came back you saw a drop in steals and blocks but he was still a great defender,but not like his younger days
Yo, some of these callers truly didn't really watch 80's or 90's basketball with Jordan.......
GREAT SHOW
That defense caller was really hard to listen to. Asking who the best defender is is just like asking best scorer. Are we talking about 3pt? Dunking? Post game?
Steals? Blocks? Rebounding? Slipping screens?
There are levels and aspects to consider.
Yep
Man, DC slim making my city look bad. I don't know if this guy played, given someone the points he made. Being born in DC and going to a school like Bishop McNamara ( in my conference is schools like Archbishop Carroll, DeMatha, Gonzaga, Paul VI and more), defense was stressed the 1st time I got on the court. That said, when you talk defense, it's more than on ball. It's learning the zone tactics, manning passing lanes, understanding a players weaknesses, whether it be ballhandling, dribbling, shooting, or athleticism. If you know a player's weakness and you don't have to work that hard, that just means you're better and have done your homework. It doesn't lessen how good you are as a player. As the caller said, Jordan never had a big 3 or a dominant big man, not even a dominant power forward. That in and of itself shows the depth of his skills. Chocolate city DC all day from Lenny Bias to Quinn Cook.
I met Rod Strickland, ironically it was at a playoff game between the Wizards and the Cavs early in LeBron's career
From the article I read Jordan is ranked #2 best defensive player behind Hakeem and a couple have him #1
Salute to you bro because when I start my podcast I’m telling all the guys like the 1st caller “get the f*ck off my show. Next”. And I’m 20 years old so I know ima get into a lot of arguments with the older guys lmao
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Be nice bro lol
@@Mandownsports 😂😂😂
He said it’s not a debate already… huh Bruh!!! LMAOOO
I don’t think anyone on social media or news outlets ESPN Fox Sports anywhere has ever said that one individual is the greatest defender of all time. I’ve never heard anyone say that it’s either good defender or not.
MJ was always playing help D in the paint against other bigs because he tried to help make up for the smallness of their lineup. Not knowing where MJ would be added a level of rushed shots in the paint…Jordan at times baited bugs into coming his way.
Many BRON lovers are digging in the crates to knock Jordan off his rightful place .
AT THE END OF THE DAY
If your the GREATEST you don’t miss the playoffs with 4 future HOFers on your team (Lakers 2 years ago)
A team (age wise ) older than the 98 BULLS
I can go on ALL day but I’ll stop right HERE
I agree 100%
Lebron is TAMPERING and CHEATING through his own sports agency UnKlutch Sports in order to collude and form another Superteam so that he can short cut the winning process again smh
When people ask me why I have Lebron outside of my top 40 all time, this is one of the reasons why smh
Dude literally NEEDS his own Sports Agency to poach players & hurt other teams, he NEEDS to stack the deck with super teams, he NEEDS 2 or more All Stars & HOF help, he NEEDS all of these trades every year, he NEEDS the media to spin false narratives & not critic his antics & failures, he NEEDS to be in the weaker conference, he NEEDS to go against weaker teams, he NEEDS the Refs/League to Rig things in his favor and let him get away with all of these illegal things that he is doing, he NEEDS bailouts from Refs/League, he NEEDS PED’s etc etc all for him to be competitive 😂 smh
All of that help above and the dude STILL has a losing record in the Finals 😂🤣 smh
Most overrated player in ALL of Sports History smh Totally manufactured & fraudulent career smh 😂
Great discussion today !!!
🫡 salute
Thank you it was not the same race 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Just because your stats is good doesn't make you the best ...
No one has ever said Jordan was the number one all time greatest defender in the league. DC my guy calm down lol😂
it's funny when i hear dudes say they "watched" mj play. just the same as they "watch" lebron....they don't actually pay attention. pippen was not the elite defender on the bulls over mj. even watching pippen in that first finals win.....that series...mj is noted to give pippen the credit for locking down magic and worthy, but it was actually michael picking up pippen's slack. it's wild
What is wrong with the caller DC ?
I have no clue
I already knew Sheed was full of it u can hear the condescendance in his tone. Sheed was drafted 95 Strickland was drafted 88 his word got more credibility 😂😂😂
Was gonna watch the whole vid, but your first caller, having never watched MJ play obviously, turned me off
Ron Harper came the year after Jordan left with Pete Myers as backcourt mate
This guy knows what he is saying.
Salute
Dude never watched one full Mj game you can tell, he say Mj never guarded the number one player that’s wild Pippen didn’t guard the best player the whole game sometimes Him and Mj switch like Mj played better defense on Penny than Pippen did Penny use to destroy Pippen.
Smoothest little point in the game!
Rod and Isiah were the coldest point guards as far as handles and scoring…(see Kyrie Irving (Rod’s nephew))
Facts
How do you catch a live 😅
Every Tuesday and Friday at 730pm
DC slim doesn’t understand his own guy. Kobe will say he’s only there cuz of Mike. He wanted to be Mike. Of course MJ was the blueprint for Kobe. WTH?
KG is telling the real truth! The desire comes from within. The beauty is over coming the struggle of the journey. The money men have taken over sports and taught athletes the easiest path to victory. It's really too bad because athletes and fans don't get to experience their best.
Facts
Brunson left Dallas cuz he knew he could be who he is rn and Luka was preventing him from excelling. And now LBJ wants to go to NYC and fk him up by taking the ball out of his hands. I sure hope that doesn’t happen. I want to see this guy keep making strides.
Unfortunately it’s going to happen smh

Jordan was a tone setter on defense! I learned how to play defense by watching Jordan!
