The biggest difference psychologically between Michael Jordan and these latter day athlete's like Kobe Bryant and LeBron James is he knew exactly who he was even before coming into the NBA. They had to develop and figure themselves out. I think that Kobe has finally established his own identity after all of these years and LeBron is just now getting the feel of who he is. MJ was so far ahead of his time in every aspect of the game including his mental status. That's why he was so hard to beat and why many consider him as being the GOAT.
+Poopyhei ad LeBron no, MJ didn't know to lead a team to success and champions, he would need to lead by involving other teammates, role players. He wasn't necessarily better in high school than kobe being of roughly the same age in respect of mentality. He went to uni for two years, Kobe didn't. Knowing who he is, takes a man a life time to figure that out. It never stops. There is no need to make MJ bigger than he was. He was already big.
Poopy: That's really well put bro!! He knew who he was & ive learned the hard way that that really is a BIG part of the battle!! He developed as a player & as a team leader through the years but you can not grow the way one needs to without that sense of self! Really great comment bro!
They criticized him on the Last Dance, but this is who he has always been. I hope they will watch this vid and see that he was always about the team, his family and worked on being a great basketball player. He earned it through hard work. These young players could learn from that.
People in general should listen to him!!! He said I may sound like a dick but that’s because you never won anything. You do what you have to do to be the best. He was fine if people didn’t feel that way & all they had to do was GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! He asked a lot from teammates but also asked the same from himself if not more. Let someone call you the best ever @anything & then see how much scrutiny & judgment that brings to you. He had no choice but to be the best every second on the court & if others don’t understand that its their problem! Finally seeing someone talking with some sense so I’m glad I came across this comment.
When you hear Michael Jordan, express himself inside or outside the court, is as though he is perfect (inside the court aggressive and impulsive, outside intelligent and humble). He is the example of a great iconic figure. You cannot tell if he is white, black, brown, yellow etc... Jordan is just Jordan
Damn...he kinda just foreshadowed his divorce in this. But still ...this is awesome ..a legend interviewing an icon. In the stages where his dominance was still manifesting. Dope!
2:56 He makes his teammates better That’s what separates him from others He’s in the same company of a Magic Johnson & a Larry Bird One of the all-time greats
Oh yeah! Being right-eared makes it so difficult for me sometimes.. Thanks man, you're so smart! Amazing how genius your solution for right-eared people are.. Thank you man, you should run for president and help all the other right-eared people!!
the story is that he was going for varsity but was cut and he was put in JV so he worked hard to show them wrong people mistake what he says and think he was completely cut
project10bball it’s true. He was considered “too small” so he trained his ass off and averaged 40 points a game playing JV. The following year varsity picked him up.
He didn't make the varsity team at the time he should have been playing JV, so he played JV instead. The story sounds better that he was cut though. Just like it sounds better that Steve Jobs was fired from Apple, even though when he wasn't
Trying out for a basketball team in high school is a bunch of bs.50 kids tried out for mine..... coach never saw me play once, just chose all the tall black kids. I was kind of pissed. Oh and their record that year was 2-13. I one v one some of the kids on the team and beat them too.
This was a great interview, I thought Richard asked great questions...and Michael really is one of the purest people I've ever seen....which is why he deserves to be who he is.
Just got cut from my junior basketball team, it's ok I'm gonna grind and come back senior year
never give up on your dream
🏀
SAME here😔
I had a similar experience too, please never give up on our dreams either.
@Erik Morales man, tell me why on July 13,2019 I was playing 1 on 1 against my uncle’s Friend and I ended up tearing my Acl and Meniscus 🤦🏾♂️

Did the guy sound like Jamie fox to you in the beginning.
When you hear Michael Jordan, express himself inside or outside the court, is as though he is perfect (inside the court aggressive and impulsive, outside intelligent and humble).
He is the example of a great iconic figure.
You cannot tell if he is white, black, brown, yellow etc... Jordan is just Jordan
He is Black bro
Did you know MJ has IQ higher than Mark Zuckerberg and even Charles Darwin's? Its true. check it!
Damn, Beyonce's stepfather got Mike to say a mouthful in such a compact interview. MAJOR props. MJ even spoke on God. Great interview
an honest interview from the heart.....
Damn...he kinda just foreshadowed his divorce in this. But still ...this is awesome ..a legend interviewing an icon. In the stages where his dominance was still manifesting. Dope!
2:56
He makes his teammates better
That’s what separates him from others
He’s in the same company of a Magic Johnson & a Larry Bird
One of the all-time greats
The all time great
MJ never spoke about himself being the subject alone, he always say "we" or "the team" always referring as a whole team. the GOAT
Goat speaks and you just listen.
I Love listening to MJ talk. Just Love the way this guy thinks and carries himself both on and off the court.
+BalBin 032 right? like Everything he says is special and meaningful i feel.
Anyone else thought that was Jamie fox talking inn
the beginning??? Lol
"you are one of the most sexiest men I've ever seen"... .........
Never knew Richard interviewed the great MJ all these years. First I ever saw this. Excellent interview it was.
Very graceful and articulate just like on the court. Hence, the # up of pages of accolades. mj will never be duplicated, only imitated
Oh yeah! Being right-eared makes it so difficult for me sometimes..
Thanks man, you're so smart! Amazing how genius your solution for right-eared people are..
Thank you man, you should run for president and help all the other right-eared people!!
I love the fact that y'all are ignoring that fire ass shirt that MJ is wearing 🔥🔥
And I’m loving the fact that you’re judging the fact that we all are ignoring that fire ass shirt
happy birthday MJ
GOAT.
I got cut from my senior team, they will regret it
U bet they will...
Keep us updated ! 🤍
Very True.
For the funniest juxtaposition possible, watch this and then immediately watch 'The Decision'. Worlds apart.
god, i want that shirt!
0:54, GOAT
great!
Larry Jordan is the real GOAT.
no sound
🫵🏾
Ray Parker Jr with the top notch interview
how is he fake?
Uroczystosc. O9 o7 for 45 🎂 probly she has term for Bebe ....
What year was this?
Aitor Arrate probably 1992-93 because it shows highlights of 1991-92 nba finals
Aitor Arrate probably 1992-93 because it shows highlights of 1991-92 nba finals
This was 1993
ya know..... that is the EXACT OPPOSITE of what i was thinking....
Is it a myth that he was cut from the varsity team during his sophomore year?
It happened.
+Sylwester Grega he wasn't cut he didn't make his varsity team and played JV
the story is that he was going for varsity but was cut and he was put in JV so he worked hard to show them wrong
people mistake what he says and think he was completely cut
project10bball it’s true. He was considered “too small” so he trained his ass off and averaged 40 points a game playing JV. The following year varsity picked him up.

The interviewer seems like he's singing the questions to Michael like an RnB song or something lol

Ain't that Beyonce's Step Dad?
