    Actually the MJ vs LeBron thing you're thinking of is even better. A reporter asked Jordan if the 12-13 heat, (Lebron's best team) would beat the 95-96 Bulls. Michael said it would be close be he believes the Bulls would win. The reporter, surprised asked why it would be close. Jordan responded that the Bulls were pushing 60 now.
    Also with the rumble in the jungle, you're thinking of Ali Bomba Ye was the chant. It meant Ali kill him. You're mixing that up with Ali Rope-a-Dope, Ali's signature name for his footwork and head sway.

      80's and 90's era NBA was much more physical than nowadays. Jordan dominated in an era when scorers got fouled hard and often. Also LeBron was a bigger/taller player and plays in a much softer era. Kinda like comparing apples to oranges. But Jordan woulda smoked LeBron. He was hypercompetitive and his pride wouldn't allow him to lose.

    @derekdecker555 2 роки тому +18

    Seeing a lot of confused comments lol. The rope a dope was not his “style”. It was a specific strategy he used against Foreman. Ali covered up, stayed on the ropes which is usually a bad idea if you don’t have Ali’s movement, made Foreman miss, pulled Foreman’s head down and tied him up all to exhaust Foreman. That is the rope a dope. He used that strategy because Foreman was such a murderous puncher (watch the Foreman v Frazier fight) and Ali knew he had to be careful because if Foreman hit him with anything clean, it could be over. Ali usually didn’t do that, he’d dance around guys, pepper them with jabs and impose his will.

    I think that wizard line goes even deeper than that Knox. In TLOR the lighter colored wizard robes indicted strength, at least in the film version. When Gandalf was the grey wizard he was second only to the white wizard and ERB actually alluded to this in an earlier ERB (Gandalf vs Dumbledore) with the line about how death just makes his brights brighter. So MJ coming back from defeat, his retirement, as a darker color is just Ali twisting the knife on how Wizard Michael was him at his lowest in terms of his basketball career.

    Jordan didn’t get cut from his high school basketball team. As an underclassman he was still short. So he played jv. He averaged 40’a game and grey that summer, so as a jr and sr he played varsity.

    Hey Knox, there is a theory that he went to baseball to keep sharp while he sat out a 2 year suspension (Not announced) from basketball. He was being investigated and it was later dropped.

      @@6666Imperator, Like i said, it's a theory. It probably was true, that his father wanted him to do Baseball and this was him doing it for dad, while sitting out a chosen sabbatical (suspension). As opposed to having the findings go public, which would have Pete Rosed him, No HoF legacy tarnished. This was perfect to allow him, to still be in the limelight and keep athletically fresh. Working out will only do so much, without competition. I bet he actually did this, to keep the investigation results out of the public eye

    When Jordan said: “ dribbling double balls that nobody can see”. I think it’s also because Muhammad Alee fought George Forman and George Forman was accused of greasing his gloves to blind his opponents and Muhammad Alee wasn’t able to see after the first match. It a far fetched possibility but that would be clever.

    As much as I know there was a communication issue on the Japan fight. It was supposed to be a show fight like all the Pro-Wrestling stuff, but Ali was thinking it was a regular bout. And that confusion led to that.
    I especially liked the beat of this battle. It combines the elements of 90's rap (Jordan's era), and the 70's funk (Ali's era) in one.
