my bad y'all there's a typo on the final graphic. I accidentally swapped the years between Jordan and Rick Barry, MJ averaged 41.0 in 1993, and Barry averaged 40.8 in 1967 :)
For 10 seasons in a row (1986/87 - 1997/98) he was the scoring champ, top 8 in DPOY voting and missed just 7 freaking games out of 992. His consistency is underrated.
He consistently averaged the most shots in the league those years, and consistently missed the most shots per game in the league. In at least one season, he took 200+ shots more than the second place player.
Sometimes I feel Jordans greatness works against him. He was so dominant so unstoppable that a lot of people who didn't watch him play cant fathom it. We've seen all the all time greats bleed We saw Kobe bleed, Lebron bleed, Curry Bleed, Magic Bleed, Larry Bleed, etc You genuinely can't say that about Jordan The closest thing was 95 when he came back after 1.5 years away from the game. Jordan was something else and now people have to make excuses for it, "weak competition" , "weak rules", etc Instead of just accepting that there was a player THAT dominant. The Goat.
The only thing that lebron fans can say against him is the compettition back then, for me the moment that mj bleed was when he lost VS shaq and the orlando magic , that is the only thing that i can say against his legacy
@@flomoss6206 EXACTLY. And After only playing 17 regular season games after being away for almost 2 years AND the team was BARELY above .500 when he came back (34-31) Say it again brother, GOAT SHIT🔥🐐
@@gallardo10001 If you think the magic series was a stain Its fair just make sure you add the context But the competition argument is flat out stupid. The league wasn't as FLASHY as it is today But their fundamentals were insane and you still had must see tv players like Clyde, Young Shaq, Penny hardaway, Charles Barkley (MVP 93), Shawn Kemp, etc, Its just an excuse to call that era weak because again Lots of people cant fathom that one guy didn't just dominate an entire conference like Lebron did the east Jordan had the NBA in a chokehold, Once he won his first chip he NEVER lost again while playing a full season with the bulls He stopped playing basketball after 91, he just knew how to win and did it
@@gallardo10001if you really take a look at the series in depth, one of the biggest reason they lost was because of Pippen. He was absolutely terrible in that series. Jordan did make some costly mistakes. He was rusty and fatigue. Ultimately though, I still respect the fact that he gave it all and went out fighting.
MJ didn't miss 1 Gm in 96,97,98, Won 3 Titles, 2 MVPs, 3 FMVPs, 3 Scoring Titles, 3 all-NBA 1st team (both ends) 2x all-Star gm MVP, 3x Total Pts Leader, 3x Playoff and Finals PPG Leader. And he did all that from age 33-35 without missing a single game. Now that's something unheard of!
@@outlander234 originally I wrote MJ didn't miss a game in 96, 97, 98, but I switched it to all 82 to make it shorter. Considering MJ only missed 7 games in 11 full seasons with the Bulls, and never sat out for any of his 178 playoff games, I would think it's a given. But yeah I'll change it back
I grew up outside Chicago in the 80s and 90s so of course I am biased. But... There may never be another athlete like Jordan. In a sport of superstars where individuals shine, he was as close to perfection as one could be. Physically, we all know. Perhaps the best leaper ever, cat quick, strong, and had HUGE hands which often goes overlooked. But that's just the start. He was perhaps the most psychopathic competitor in the history of team sports. The guy would weep tears of joy while winning a game of Uno. He was an alpha male. His presence put fear in other players. His work ethic was second to none. He maintained a chip on his shoulder throughout his entire career even after being regarded as the best ever. Another necessity in basketball is aesthetic. Jordan was, IMO, the most aesthetically pleasing player ever. He could float, his jump shot was beautiful, his creativity around the hoop was by far the best we've ever seen. He was good looking, was chiseled, perfectly proportional. He oozed charisma and still does. And we haven't even gotten to what he accomplished when he accomplished it. He came in as Bird and Magic were aging, and the NBA was becoming a global attraction. He started out on a horrible team that he had to help build up to overcome bullies like the Pistons and juggernauts like the Celtics and Lakers. You could not have written a fictional story that is as compelling and almost unbelievable as Jordan's. He retired at the peak of his abilities, and came back to win three more consecutive championships. The odds of all these things happening again are 1 in a trillion. I don't idolize human beings. They are not God, and he is not God. But he is so near-perfect in every way when it comes to basketball that it's hard to believe he was real.
MJ’s impact and influence is beyond basketball. He brought aura, culture and brought millions to the NBA. He brought the league to another level on his own.
Yes. His creativity alone changed the way wing players approached the game forever. Respect due to Dr. J, but MJ introduced crazy layup packages to a league where everyone was scared to go outside of fundamentals or they'd get benched. It paved the way for everyone from Kobe to Ant Edwards by giving them a blueprint that did not exist before he pushed the envelope. And he didn't just do it for style and points. He won rings playing like that.

@LilPeka-09, then tell me how it is that Michael Jordan averaged the more 50-point games during the playoffs where there is more physicality and foul troubles than the actual NBA season ? Enough said!
@@aaronmbaye6498 can I watch the last 50 point games in the playoffs get your facts right. In the 90s no one could jump with Michael. The people who could jump with him he struggled against Clyde Drexler he bodied Michael in the 80s in the early 90s. Michael just had a better team.
Indeed and I don't want to hear excuses that the Bulls in the 90s was a superteam. They're a well built team sure but it was MJ that made them a Juggernaut. It was his doing. The Warriors only became a true Juggernaut when they got Durant.
Valid points!! And also, those Bulls players ..what did they achieve without MJ? Nothing!! Shows MJ was actually the main factor that made them successful. Their values increased because they played with and won with MJ. No wonder Tim Grover calls MJ "The Asshole". He had to be!!!😊
I was born in 1980. I watched him as a rookie, as a superstar trying to put to bed the myth that he couldn't win in the post season, and as the GOAT who simply couldn't lose in the playoffs. I've seen many of the greatest, Magic, Bird, Kareem, and I'm pretty sure every one of those men will tell you that His Airness deserves the crown he's been bestowed.
Magic, yes. Bird, no. He said he had his time, then Magic, and now they say Michael is the greatest. 'But if you want to know who the GOAT is, look up the book' (the record book, one of Wilt's nicknames). As of when MJ retired, he said he was top 2. Kareem, also no. He volunteered the names of several players who might be the GOAT over Jordan: Oscar Robertson, Wilt, and Larry Bird.
Only 47 in regulation before the pretend foul by McHale on Jordan that gave him three undeserved free throws to send the game to OT and subsequently 2OT. Sorry, not sorry, but it's not the epic game that the fanboys pretend it is.
@@riri2803 You moved the goal post to carer finals ppg and team accomplishments. I never said Baylor had more career finals ppg or more team accomplishments. I said that as a high playoff scoring game in itself: Baylor 61 pts in a finals win in regulation > 63 pts in a first round loss in 2 OT. You Jordan fanboys are too desperate to defend your hero, I'm not saying Baylor had a better career.
only 47 points? what a fucking moron. that was against the best team in the league, the best defensive team in the league. there's a reason why Bird called him god
I watched him play. I fell in love with his game, his moves, his doing things not been replicated to date. I watched back then but the more I watch his games till today, the more I am sure that MJ was the most athletic and strongest basketball player we have ever seen Sometimes it looks like he is superhuman. Kobe had the will to go trough injuries and pain but what Jordan endured from the bad boy Pistons till 1998, is a level on its own And watching todays gay soft basketball, I am more and more shure we will never see another Larry Bird, another Kobe, another Michael Jordan

@@bfg3890 you’re welcome. People forget that the nba made it sweet for Michael Jordan. When Jordan wrote a letter to the commissioner about the pistons being too physical, they immediately shut it down to cater to him. Not to mention shortening the 3 point line to make up for his busted 3 ball. All that and still wasn’t half as dominant as bill
@@Robertedwinhouse38 lmao Bill is great no doubt but he played one side of the court. He scored 15ppg on 40%+ shooting, for a center that's horrendous. He's like the fourth option on offense lol.
@@khaelz doesn’t matter how you dominate goofy. He could’ve been nothing but a screen setter. If that’s what lead to wins and everyone knew he was the best player on the team there’s nothing to debate
Jordan didn’t even get to play 15 seasons. Broke his foot in 85/86 and came back the last 17 games in 95. All those awards shown were acquired in 11 full seasons with the bulls. That makes it even more impressive
HE TOP 30 ALL TIME: 1. Michael Jordan - the greatest player and the greatest career in NBA history. Most dominant offensive force and one of the games best defenders. 6x Champ 6x FMVP 5x MVP 2. Bill Russell - the greatest winner and greatest defensive force in NBA and sports history. A legend on/off court. The key to NBA first dynasty. 11x Champ 5x FMVP 5x MVP 3. Magic Johnson - the great PG ever (so far…). REVOLUTIONIZED his position and saved the NBA. 5x Champ 3x FMVP 3xMVP 4. LeBron James - the greatest longevity in sports history. One of the most dominant forces ever and top5 all round player. Still.. counting. 4x Champ 4x FMVP 4x MVP 5. Tim Duncan - best PF ever. One of the most fundamentally sound players ever. Played both ends at the highest level for 15 seasons. 5x Champ 3x FMVP 2x MVP 6. Kareem Abdul Jabar - owner of the most dominant go-to move on offense. The HOOK. The previous scoring leader and lead all points for 4 decades. The greatest BASKETBALL career ever. Prep to Pro. 6x Champ 2x FMVP 6x MVP 7. Kobe Bryant - see number 1 and dilute the athleticism and physical intangibles and that’s what you got. Arguably the greatest warrior in NBA history. 5x Champ 2x FMVP 1x MVP 8. Shaquille O’Neal - the most dominant ever. The immovable object/unstoppable force. Shaq was the definition of dominance. 4x Champ 3x FMVP 1x MVP 9. Larry Bird - maybe the most legendary on the list. Precursor to Jokic but better. One of the most skilled & clutch players ever. In any sport. 3x Champ 2x FMVP 3x MVP 10. Hakeem Olajuwon - back to back. The best of the mid90’s and second best player in the era. Hakeem is like Russell but with AllNBA offensive ability. 2x Champ 2x FMVP 1x MVP 11. Wilt Chamberlain - the games most prolific scorers. Arguably it’s greatest defender as well. The man could do it all. Even lead the league in assist at 7”2. Wilt IS unparalleled. GOAT athlete. 2x Champ 2x FMVP 3x MVP 12. Steph Curry - the games most prolific shooter and one of its greatest scorers. REVOLUTIONIZED the game forever. STILL GOING. 4x Champ 1x FMVP 2x MVP 13. Isaiah Thomas - ZEKE. CP3 before CP3 but nastier and meaner. A warrior and one of the games greatest strategist and generals. Quietly a top5 passer. 2x Champ 2x FMVP 14. Oscar Robertson - the greatest all around basketball player ever. Could do everything at a AllNBA level. Changed the way players were interpreted and influenced generations. 1x Champ 2x MVP 15. Kevin Durant - the Slim Reaper is likely the most ideal offensive weapon ever. Can hit from anywhere, anytime over anyone. Hard to beat and impossible to match that level of offensive dominance. 2x Champ 2x FMVP 1x MVP 16. Julius Erving - The good Dr., the FIRST MJ (before Magic & Jordan), The icon and face of BOTH leagues that saved the game in the 70’s. Kareem was the best but Doc was a close 2nd. Underrated statistical brilliance. Was like a 6’7-6’8 Giannis but with a better jump shot. 3x Champ (1 NBA) 2x FMVP 4x MVP (1 NBA) 17.. Moses Malone - CHAIRMAN OF DA BOARDS. Arguably the best board getter… ever. Only Wilt, Russell, Rodman and Thurmond belong in the same discussion. Moses lead his people to the promise land more than once but was able to claim immortality in the early 80’s. His team lead by the dynamic duo of he and Doc dominated the league. Before Lakers v. Celtics it was 76ers v. Celtics-Lakers. 1x Champ 1x FMVP 3xMVP 18. John Havlicek - the GREAT one. MJ is 6-0. Ole Johnny is 8-0. The offensive force off the bench or starting that lead the dynastic Celtics to all 8. Early in his career he was akin to Jordan Poole role on Warriors 22’ team but better at everything but the 3 ball. Then in the late 60’s-70’s he sat in captains seat. His career is a unique mix. Played like Pippen with elite perimeter shooting/scoring, early career was early Kobe-esque, late career MJ/Kobe-esque. John’s game rose in the playoffs. 8x Champ 1x FMVP (likely 4x) 19. Giannis Antetokounmpo - it’s getting freaky… GreekMan is literally on the ride to potentially threatening Tim’s best PF title. If he can add a couple more rings to his already HOF profile he will likely be the new PF or TOP 5 player. Yea. THAT GOOD. 1x Champ 1x FMVP 2x MVP 1x DPOY 20. Jerry West - The LOGO. Steph Curry before Steph. The man that built the LA franchise along Baylor post Mikan era. Jerry West was the blueprint skill base for players like Kobe, MJ, TMac, etc At 6’2-6’3 he torched his opponents his entire career and dropped plenty of dimes. The ORIGINAL combo guard. So damn great he LOST and still won FMVP… case closed. 1x Champ 1x FMVP 21. Nikola Jokic - the Joker is no damn joke. Genuinely a candidate for potential GOAT if his career pans out in the extreme positive like that of the top 10. Jokic is in a unique place being the greatest passing big statically NBA history (excluding Magic). If Jokic finds a way to fit more jewelry in his fingers, we might have to have a real discussion about that greatest Center of all time discussion. Yes. Potentially a top 5 player alert. 1x MVP 1x FMVP 3x MVP (should’ve been 3 consecutive but you know 22. Rick Barry - The ACTUAL “White Mamba”. Just predated the black one… Barry was the answer up until 85’ when you asked who the best SF ever. His game was similar to West but 6’7 and a better FT%. Controversial, cerebral and iconic. Had so much game he had to share what was left with his sons… 1x Champ 1x FMVP 23. Kevin Garnett - The Big Ticket. The 00’ Giannis. In every way but he had a better jumper midrange and beyond. KG was a monstrosity on OFF/DEF in his prime much like his modern comparison. Led the TWolves to relevance and led the 08’ Celtics to a chip. Truly the BIG TICKET. 1x Champ 1x FMVP 1x MVP 24. Dirk Nowitzki - DIGGLER. The one and only. The German Bird. THE Maverick. Dirk is one of the most beloved, iconic and acclaimed players ever. The 00’s stretch big supreme. Dirk was able to take the Mavs to immortality over 11’ Heat in arguably the most surprising run ever. Only Dirk. Forever the DIGGLER. Arguably, the GOAT Euro player. 1x Champ 1x FMVP 1x MVP 25. Bob Pettit - Big Blue was the first stretch 4 in the games history. That’s for starters. Pettit was a tenacious rebounder and highly skilled scorer. He was much akin to K. Love of his era but in better shape and played defense. Think a smaller Dirk who grabbed boards like Love but in the 50’s-60’s era. Not only that, much like Dirk, Pettit lead a historic upset over Russell’s Celtics. A true champ. 1x Champ 1x FMVP 2x MVP 26. Dwayne Wade - The Flash. Wade County. The greatest Heat in NBA history. Wade is arguably the best defensive player at his position and easily too3 (MJ, Kobe). Led the Heat to a title in 06’ in historic fashion against Dirks Mavs. Then winning a couple more as LBJ’s Pippen. His career was like Kobe’s… in reverse. Wade’s early injuries reduced his maximum career output but yet here he is… says a ton. 3x Champ 1x FMVP 27. Elgin Baylor - The PROTOTYPE. Before West, Julius, Thompson, Wilkins, MJ, Hardaway, Kobe, Carter, TMac, Wade, Ant etc There was Elgin Baylor. The first Air, the first Mamba, the first Half Man/Amazing, Flash etc Baylor spearheaded an era that hardly wanted his talents there but had no other choice but to be in awe of it. Think Harden, in shape but not as good of a playmaker, twice the rebounder and a better defender. That’s Elgin. *left a season before historic LAL title win 28. David Robinson - The Admiral. The USA’s biggest weapon in the 90’s was also one of the greatest ever. Made the spurs relevant pre-Duncan and post. Has some of the greatest seasons statistically. Think Giannis but 7’2 with a lefty and 15 footer plus an even better defender. 2x Champ 1x MVP 29. Karl Malone - the Mailman was LBJ minus the handles and vision. King of the pick n roll. 1x MVP 30. Charles Barkley - The Round Mound of Rebound was the Tasmanian devil in a basketball jersey. Prime 25 5 13 guy. Impact everywhere he went. OG DREAMTEAM member by the way… 1x MVP 30 (?) Clyde Drexler - The Glide. One of the most useful all around talents in nba history. One of the greatest two way players ever. Helped every squad he went to become a contender. 1x Champ * HONORABLE MENTION: McHale, Nash, Harden, Parker, CP3, Stockton, Walton, Payton, Westbrook, Drexler, Ewing, Sam Jones, Cousy, Pierce, Iverson, McAdoo, Frazier, Unsled, Reed, Webber, English, A. Davis ^GIVE HONEST FEEDBACK CRITIQUE ATTEMPTING A PERFECT TOP30 list
No complaints about the players personally but I really don’t get your reasoning. Some things are inconsistent imo and ofc I don’t agree on everything (but that’s literally every list). Based on your list I am pretty surprised to not see Mikan or Kawhi on at least eh honorable mentions.
@@hampus7474 Mikan was pre shot clock. ALLTIME great, but no way top30 without an incredibly convincing argument. And Kawhi is an honorable mention but their might be maybe only 3 or less guys he could challenge for a spot in the Top30 with his resume.

One thing not mentioned here is MJ's mental fortitude. Just imagine having to win 3 straight championships two separate times. Just imagine the mental toughness and focus that's needed to keep up that level of dominance and excellence for that long. Modern NBA players nowadays would run away at the first sign of adversity. The beauty of it all is that it rubs into his teammates. He has never had stacked teams like most modern stars nowadays but he's done the best with the pieces he's dealt with.

If you have some other knowledge im missing, drop them please. Im interested
@@tatsuyaradheya3528 Well, when I say it is not objectively the greatest resume in history I mean it in the sense that if we compile everything for all players ever with no subjective weight or feelings involved, it won't come out on top. Things like legacy are very subjective as one can just decide what they think matters for legacy or not. Now the things you listed like awards, stats leaders etc we can compile those things and Jordan will not come out with the most. Plus the OP said "Greatest resume in NBA History" so I was referring to NBA not outside of NBA. Which if we were you'd have to include HS and NCAA as well. Which would help Kareem quite a bit as you already alluded to. Plus we also have to consider that not all awards and stat titles existed for all players ever. So FMVP, DPOY, ALL DEF, BLK, STL did not exist for Wilt and Russell. DPOY did not exist for 13 years of Kareem, BLK, STL did not exist for 4 years of Kareem. So for all time fairly we can only include what was available for all time. For example Wilt, Russell, and Kareem all likely have DPOYs if they existed, and blocks titles that are not officially tracked so it is not objective to give others points for things they can't get points for. In another post I will display it as this post is already long as it is. To be continued.
I am only using things that were available to all for all history since greatest resume all time is the subject in question and my response that Jordan's is not objectively the highest is in question. NBA accomplishments as the OP said NBA history: WILT: 51 #1 draft pick: 1 ROY: 1 MVP: 4 RNG: 2 ALL NBA: 10 ALL STAR: 13 ALL STAR MVP: 1 SCR TITLE: 7 REB TITLE: 11 AST TITLE: 1 KAREEM 51 #1 draft pick: 1 ROY: 1 MVP: 6 RNG: 6 ALL NBA: 15 ALL STAR: 19 ALL STAR MVP: 1 SCR TITLE: 2 JORDAN 50 ROY: 1 MVP: 5 RNG: 6 ALL NBA: 11 ALL STAR: 14 ALL STAR MVP: 3 SCR TITLE: 10 *(again there are no FMVP, Steals titles, DPOY and all def here because they did not exist for al of NBA history. If we give Jordan these then we have to guess how many DPOY, all DEF team, and blocks titles Russell, Wilt, Kareem, would have won which means it becomes not objective.) RUSSELL 45 MVP: 5 RNG: 11 ALL NBA: 11 ALL STAR: 13 ALL STAR MVP: 1 REB TITLE: 4 It is very close but looks like Kareem and Wilt are tied with Jordan just barely behind in an objective compilation of NBA accomplishments that are fair to all time. This is if we don't include individual records, where if each of those is counted Jordan (12 records) would move ahead of Kareem but then would be well behind Wilt (72, records). So even then Jordan would not come out on top. LeBron is a contender but he is not finished yet. If we did it right now as is: LEBRON: 55 #1 pick: 1 ROY: 1 MVP: 4 RNG: 4 ALL NBA: 20 ALL STAR: 20 ALL STAR MVP: 3 SCR TITLE: 1 AST TITLE: 1 So he would be 1st if we don't count each individual record, but he is not finished so this may grow or stay the same who knows. I am not saying this proves where people should rank all time, but "greatest resume in NBA history" does not objectively belong to Jordan. It's either Wilt if we add the records as accomplishments which you fairly could, or it looks like it will be LeBron if we don't. Non NBA items would give Jordan 2 olympic golds and 1 NCAA title, but Kareem would pile up ahead of him if we do non NBA accomplishments.Russell would bulk his up as well with that. Any things like popularity, marketing, subjective diminishing of eras Jordan did not play in, and hypotheticals like "he woulda coulda shoulda" are not an objective collection of accomplishments. Saying "this award means more than that award!" is not an objective collection of accomplishments.
@@BulletBill-yb3ti you cannot treat all these accomplishments as equals. All star and all nba appearances mean nothing compared to rings or MVPS. Also, if you are not weighting DPOYs and all defense teams because they didnt exist and therefore do not represent players like Wilt and Bill well then you would also have to decrease the value of their MVPs since people of even the past did not have the info to understand value as much as we do now.
Here are some crazy Lebron stats: 1) NBA all-time leader in TURNOVERS: 5000 and counting as of this writing. 2) NBA all-time leader in FINALS GAMES LOST: 33
It's honestly so weird to me to think that in my life, I've seen the tables turn so quickly. I remember being able to synthesize with essays written about him, back in the time when Jordan was untouchable and undisputably the GOAT, and now It's like it's not even the same timeline anymore when you look everywhere and see almost everyone trying to tear him down.
Stats are amazing. But to me he is the goat because of style. he wasn’t the tallest, he wasn’t the strongest, he wasn’t the fastest. Yet nobody could stop him. The elegance, the creativity, the determination. People who didn’t care about basketball came to see him just to experience the show. Defense and offense. I respect the athleticism, basketball mind and durability of Lebron James, I am fascinated by Steph Curry’s 3 point shooting and how he single handedly changed the game, I marvel at Kareems Sky Hook, I am very impressed by the sheer amount of championships that Bill Russell won, I loved watching Hakeem and his amazing skill & footwork for a man his size, I was in awe of the crazy plays that Larry Bird was able to produce as this unlikely ( relatively ) unathletic looking dude and I loved Magic’s showtime Lakers. But only MJ made me fall in love with basketball. To me, he is not only the goat, but one of the most transcending sports personalities of all time. I feel like if you don’t agree, you most probably were not there to experience it. Because if you were, you would not disagree…
Michael Jordan is the GOAT. His perfect 6-0 record in the NBA Finals, unmatched scoring ability, and defensive dominance set him apart. Even when adjusting for the physicality of the 1990s and the modern rules that favor offense, Jordan still outperforms. He leads in 31 out of 42 key categories, including scoring, steals, and clutch performance. While LeBron excels in versatility, rebounding, and assists, Jordan's relentless competitiveness and ability to shine under pressure make him the ultimate champion. Whether it's under 90s tough defense or today's game, MJ consistently proves why he's the best. #JordanGOAT #NBA #MichaelJordan
Great video, I knew he was the Bulls franchise but I didn't KNOW he was the buls franchise. Really puts into perspective. Side note: I think you can take away All Star Game MVP's from the last .....maybe.... 10 years from you list of high accomplishment trophies.
I have seen enough long time ago, and I know I have enough sense and intuition to know that this dude is the greatest basketball ever in almost almost all categories
MJ was soo skilled, good and smooth some modern idiots say "he was the only good one in the league or that the rest of the league was trash and watered down" not realizing "the Goat" played in the "golden era" when defense matched offense you could sit in the paint and there was an unwritten "no layup" rule in the playoffs 👈💯 #MJtheGoat-it-never-was-close #great-vid #sub-earned
Amazing vid, Most of these feats I never heard of and I thought I knew them all ... Thats a new 6/6 for MJ: Top 10 PPG playoff FG%. The remaining 4 are all different players and they are 1/4 in 50%.
I remember watching Jordan at Elmhurst College in a kids camp during a pick up game in 1988, he came off the court and for some reason gave me a bro hug thing and hi fived my friends, we were in high schopl, crazy memory, he didn't look real, like he was a superhero
my bad y'all there's a typo on the final graphic. I accidentally swapped the years between Jordan and Rick Barry, MJ averaged 41.0 in 1993, and Barry averaged 40.8 in 1967 :)
So Barry averaged more.
was gonna comment about that
@@BulletBill-yb3tiJordan averaged 41.
Barry averaged 40.8.
Jordan scored 246 points in the '93 Finals. That's an average of exactly 41 points per game.
Your welcome
For 10 seasons in a row (1986/87 - 1997/98) he was the scoring champ, top 8 in DPOY voting and missed just 7 freaking games out of 992. His consistency is underrated.
He consistently averaged the most shots in the league those years, and consistently missed the most shots per game in the league. In at least one season, he took 200+ shots more than the second place player.
When you’re the best, you’re allowed to shoot more.
@@phillipschuman4307but shot 51.5 percent as a Bull. So keep shooting I say, what’s your point ??? Oh and played elite defence at all times.

Sometimes I feel Jordans greatness works against him.
He was so dominant so unstoppable that a lot of people who didn't watch him play cant fathom it.
We've seen all the all time greats bleed
We saw Kobe bleed, Lebron bleed, Curry Bleed, Magic Bleed, Larry Bleed, etc
You genuinely can't say that about Jordan
The closest thing was 95 when he came back after 1.5 years away from the game.
Jordan was something else and now people have to make excuses for it, "weak competition" , "weak rules", etc
Instead of just accepting that there was a player THAT dominant.
The Goat.
The only thing that lebron fans can say against him is the compettition back then, for me the moment that mj bleed was when he lost VS shaq and the orlando magic , that is the only thing that i can say against his legacy

@@gallardo10001 If you think the magic series was a stain
Its fair just make sure you add the context
But the competition argument is flat out stupid.
The league wasn't as FLASHY as it is today
But their fundamentals were insane and you still had must see tv players like Clyde, Young Shaq, Penny hardaway, Charles Barkley (MVP 93), Shawn Kemp, etc,
Its just an excuse to call that era weak because again
Lots of people cant fathom that one guy didn't just dominate an entire conference like Lebron did the east
Jordan had the NBA in a chokehold,
Once he won his first chip he NEVER lost again while playing a full season with the bulls
He stopped playing basketball after 91, he just knew how to win and did it
@@gallardo10001if you really take a look at the series in depth, one of the biggest reason they lost was because of Pippen. He was absolutely terrible in that series. Jordan did make some costly mistakes. He was rusty and fatigue. Ultimately though, I still respect the fact that he gave it all and went out fighting.
MJ didn't miss 1 Gm in 96,97,98, Won 3 Titles, 2 MVPs, 3 FMVPs, 3 Scoring Titles, 3 all-NBA 1st team (both ends) 2x all-Star gm MVP, 3x Total Pts Leader, 3x Playoff and Finals PPG Leader.
And he did all that from age 33-35 without missing a single game.
Now that's something unheard of!
That is absolutely insane. People these days believe he was a myth because they never had the opportunity to witness him in real time.
Lebum could never
And a mesmerising flu game😁
Or with playoffs you could just say he played ALL games in a year.
@@outlander234 originally I wrote MJ didn't miss a game in 96, 97, 98, but I switched it to all 82 to make it shorter. Considering MJ only missed 7 games in 11 full seasons with the Bulls, and never sat out for any of his 178 playoff games, I would think it's a given. But yeah I'll change it back

@@Bilalskiit’s a great thing!
Michael Jordan was cartoonishly great. Just un-believ-a-bull. I laugh and shake my head in disbelief at his accomplishments.
OHHH!! 😂 I remember that commercial. Think it was on WGN
@@knutt81 It was.
He really was though. It was unfathomable greatness and dominance like we've never seen (apart from maybe early 2000s Tiger Woods)
I grew up outside Chicago in the 80s and 90s so of course I am biased. But...
There may never be another athlete like Jordan.
In a sport of superstars where individuals shine, he was as close to perfection as one could be.
Physically, we all know. Perhaps the best leaper ever, cat quick, strong, and had HUGE hands which often goes overlooked.
But that's just the start.
He was perhaps the most psychopathic competitor in the history of team sports. The guy would weep tears of joy while winning a game of Uno.
He was an alpha male. His presence put fear in other players.
His work ethic was second to none.
He maintained a chip on his shoulder throughout his entire career even after being regarded as the best ever.
Another necessity in basketball is aesthetic. Jordan was, IMO, the most aesthetically pleasing player ever. He could float, his jump shot was beautiful, his creativity around the hoop was by far the best we've ever seen. He was good looking, was chiseled, perfectly proportional.
He oozed charisma and still does.
And we haven't even gotten to what he accomplished when he accomplished it.
He came in as Bird and Magic were aging, and the NBA was becoming a global attraction.
He started out on a horrible team that he had to help build up to overcome bullies like the Pistons and juggernauts like the Celtics and Lakers.
You could not have written a fictional story that is as compelling and almost unbelievable as Jordan's.
He retired at the peak of his abilities, and came back to win three more consecutive championships.
The odds of all these things happening again are 1 in a trillion.
I don't idolize human beings. They are not God, and he is not God.
But he is so near-perfect in every way when it comes to basketball that it's hard to believe he was real.
@@bradleyboyer9979 very well said
MJ’s impact and influence is beyond basketball. He brought aura, culture and brought millions to the NBA. He brought the league to another level on his own.
Yes. His creativity alone changed the way wing players approached the game forever. Respect due to Dr. J, but MJ introduced crazy layup packages to a league where everyone was scared to go outside of fundamentals or they'd get benched. It paved the way for everyone from Kobe to Ant Edwards by giving them a blueprint that did not exist before he pushed the envelope. And he didn't just do it for style and points. He won rings playing like that.

@LilPeka-09, then tell me how it is that Michael Jordan averaged the more 50-point games during the playoffs where there is more physicality and foul troubles than the actual NBA season ? Enough said!
@@aaronmbaye6498 can I watch the last 50 point games in the playoffs get your facts right. In the 90s no one could jump with Michael. The people who could jump with him he struggled against

6:09 I'd like to add that steph curry needed a super team to pull that off. That makes mj streak even more mind blowing
Indeed and I don't want to hear excuses that the Bulls in the 90s was a superteam. They're a well built team sure but it was MJ that made them a Juggernaut. It was his doing. The Warriors only became a true Juggernaut when they got Durant.
Valid points!! And also, those Bulls players ..what did they achieve without MJ? Nothing!! Shows MJ was actually the main factor that made them successful. Their values increased because they played with and won with MJ. No wonder Tim Grover calls MJ "The Asshole". He had to be!!!😊
@@imfinishedgrinding638 The bulls who went 72-10 weren’t a super team? The bulls were a super team BECAUSE of Mj!
Wrong. They lost 3 straight with Durant in all the seasons he was there.
He didn’t even give you a timeline of when curry did that. But if it makes Jordan look better let’s just make up facts
I was born in 1980. I watched him as a rookie, as a superstar trying to put to bed the myth that he couldn't win in the post season, and as the GOAT who simply couldn't lose in the playoffs. I've seen many of the greatest, Magic, Bird, Kareem, and I'm pretty sure every one of those men will tell you that His Airness deserves the crown he's been bestowed.
Magic, yes. Bird, no. He said he had his time, then Magic, and now they say Michael is the greatest. 'But if you want to know who the GOAT is, look up the book' (the record book, one of Wilt's nicknames). As of when MJ retired, he said he was top 2.
Kareem, also no. He volunteered the names of several players who might be the GOAT over Jordan: Oscar Robertson, Wilt, and Larry Bird.
There’s no way you as a five or four year old was watching Jordan in 1985 and can remember it all. The math don’t add up
63 points against Boston Celtics. The Most points in a play off match in just his second season
Only 47 in regulation before the pretend foul by McHale on Jordan that gave him three undeserved free throws to send the game to OT and subsequently 2OT. Sorry, not sorry, but it's not the epic game that the fanboys pretend it is.
Baylor 61 pts in a finals win in regulation > 63 pts in a first round loss in 2 OT.

@@riri2803 You moved the goal post to carer finals ppg and team accomplishments. I never said Baylor had more career finals ppg or more team accomplishments.
I said that as a high playoff scoring game in itself: Baylor 61 pts in a finals win in regulation > 63 pts in a first round loss in 2 OT.
You Jordan fanboys are too desperate to defend your hero, I'm not saying Baylor had a better career.
only 47 points? what a fucking moron. that was against the best team in the league, the best defensive team in the league. there's a reason why Bird called him god
I watched him play. I fell in love with his game, his moves, his doing things not been replicated to date.
I watched back then but the more I watch his games till today, the more I am sure that MJ was the most athletic and strongest basketball player we have ever seen
Sometimes it looks like he is superhuman. Kobe had the will to go trough injuries and pain but what Jordan endured from the bad boy Pistons till 1998, is a level on its own
And watching todays gay soft basketball, I am more and more shure we will never see another Larry Bird, another Kobe, another Michael Jordan
I think ur the most underrated yt channel ive ever seen
keep going man

@@bfg3890 you’re welcome. People forget that the nba made it sweet for Michael Jordan.

@@Robertedwinhouse38 lmao Bill is great no doubt but he played one side of the court. He scored 15ppg on 40%+ shooting, for a center that's horrendous. He's like the fourth option on offense lol.
@@khaelz doesn’t matter how you dominate goofy. He could’ve been nothing but a screen setter. If that’s what lead to wins and everyone knew he was the best player on the team there’s nothing to debate
Jordan didn’t even get to play 15 seasons. Broke his foot in 85/86 and came back the last 17 games in 95. All those awards shown were acquired in 11 full seasons with the bulls. That makes it even more impressive
I always say that to
the title should be MJ THE GOAT!!!
I watched MJ since I was 4. I was amazed at watching him play. It's now 42 years later. I'm still amazed watching his highlights.
HE TOP 30 ALL TIME:
1. Michael Jordan - the greatest player and the greatest career in NBA history. Most dominant offensive force and one of the games best defenders.
6x Champ 6x FMVP 5x MVP
2. Bill Russell - the greatest winner and greatest defensive force in NBA and sports history. A legend on/off court. The key to NBA first dynasty.
11x Champ 5x FMVP 5x MVP
3. Magic Johnson - the great PG ever (so far…). REVOLUTIONIZED his position and saved the NBA.
5x Champ 3x FMVP 3xMVP
4. LeBron James - the greatest longevity in sports history. One of the most dominant forces ever and top5 all round player. Still.. counting.
4x Champ 4x FMVP 4x MVP
5. Tim Duncan - best PF ever. One of the most fundamentally sound players ever. Played both ends at the highest level for 15 seasons.
5x Champ 3x FMVP 2x MVP
6. Kareem Abdul Jabar - owner of the most dominant go-to move on offense. The HOOK. The previous scoring leader and lead all points for 4 decades. The greatest BASKETBALL career ever.
Prep to Pro.
6x Champ 2x FMVP 6x MVP
7. Kobe Bryant - see number 1 and dilute the athleticism and physical intangibles and that’s what you got.
Arguably the greatest warrior in NBA history.
5x Champ 2x FMVP 1x MVP
8. Shaquille O’Neal - the most dominant ever. The immovable object/unstoppable force. Shaq was the definition of dominance.
4x Champ 3x FMVP 1x MVP
9. Larry Bird - maybe the most legendary on the list. Precursor to Jokic but better. One of the most skilled & clutch players ever.
In any sport.
3x Champ 2x FMVP 3x MVP
10. Hakeem Olajuwon - back to back.
The best of the mid90’s and second best player in the era. Hakeem is like Russell but with AllNBA offensive ability.
2x Champ 2x FMVP 1x MVP
11. Wilt Chamberlain - the games most prolific scorers. Arguably it’s greatest defender as well. The man could do it all. Even lead the league in assist at 7”2. Wilt IS unparalleled.
GOAT athlete.
2x Champ 2x FMVP 3x MVP
12. Steph Curry - the games most prolific shooter and one of its greatest scorers. REVOLUTIONIZED the game forever. STILL GOING.
4x Champ 1x FMVP 2x MVP
13. Isaiah Thomas - ZEKE. CP3 before CP3 but nastier and meaner. A warrior and one of the games greatest strategist and generals. Quietly a top5 passer.
2x Champ 2x FMVP
14. Oscar Robertson - the greatest all around basketball player ever. Could do everything at a AllNBA level.
Changed the way players were interpreted and influenced generations.
1x Champ 2x MVP
15. Kevin Durant - the Slim Reaper is likely the most ideal offensive weapon ever. Can hit from anywhere, anytime over anyone. Hard to beat and impossible to match that level of offensive dominance.
2x Champ 2x FMVP 1x MVP
16. Julius Erving - The good Dr., the FIRST MJ (before Magic & Jordan), The icon and face of BOTH leagues that saved the game in the 70’s. Kareem was the best but Doc was a close 2nd. Underrated statistical brilliance. Was like a 6’7-6’8 Giannis but with a better jump shot.
3x Champ (1 NBA) 2x FMVP 4x MVP (1 NBA)
17.. Moses Malone - CHAIRMAN OF DA BOARDS. Arguably the best board getter… ever. Only Wilt, Russell, Rodman and Thurmond belong in the same discussion. Moses lead his people to the promise land more than once but was able to claim immortality in the early 80’s. His team lead by the dynamic duo of he and Doc dominated the league. Before Lakers v. Celtics it was 76ers v. Celtics-Lakers.
1x Champ 1x FMVP 3xMVP
18. John Havlicek - the GREAT one. MJ is 6-0.
Ole Johnny is 8-0. The offensive force off the bench or starting that lead the dynastic Celtics to all 8. Early in his career he was akin to Jordan Poole role on Warriors 22’ team but better at everything but the 3 ball.
Then in the late 60’s-70’s he sat in captains seat. His career is a unique mix.
Played like Pippen with elite perimeter shooting/scoring, early career was early Kobe-esque, late career MJ/Kobe-esque.
John’s game rose in the playoffs.
8x Champ 1x FMVP (likely 4x)
19. Giannis Antetokounmpo - it’s getting freaky… GreekMan is literally on the ride to potentially threatening Tim’s best PF title.
If he can add a couple more rings to his already HOF profile he will likely be the new PF or TOP 5 player. Yea. THAT GOOD.
1x Champ 1x FMVP 2x MVP 1x DPOY
20. Jerry West - The LOGO. Steph Curry before Steph. The man that built the LA franchise along Baylor post Mikan era.
Jerry West was the blueprint skill base for players like Kobe, MJ, TMac, etc
At 6’2-6’3 he torched his opponents his entire career and dropped plenty of dimes.
The ORIGINAL combo guard. So damn great he LOST and still won FMVP… case closed.
1x Champ 1x FMVP
21. Nikola Jokic - the Joker is no damn joke.
Genuinely a candidate for potential GOAT if his career pans out in the extreme positive like that of the top 10. Jokic is in a unique place being the greatest passing big statically NBA history (excluding Magic).
If Jokic finds a way to fit more jewelry in his fingers, we might have to have a real discussion about that greatest Center of all time discussion. Yes. Potentially a top 5 player alert.
1x MVP 1x FMVP 3x MVP (should’ve been 3 consecutive but you know
22. Rick Barry - The ACTUAL “White Mamba”. Just predated the black one… Barry was the answer up until 85’ when you asked who the best SF ever. His game was similar to West but 6’7 and a better FT%. Controversial, cerebral and iconic.
Had so much game he had to share what was left with his sons…
1x Champ 1x FMVP
23. Kevin Garnett - The Big Ticket. The 00’ Giannis. In every way but he had a better jumper midrange and beyond. KG was a monstrosity on OFF/DEF in his prime much like his modern comparison.
Led the TWolves to relevance and led the 08’ Celtics to a chip. Truly the BIG TICKET.
1x Champ 1x FMVP 1x MVP
24. Dirk Nowitzki - DIGGLER. The one and only. The German Bird. THE Maverick. Dirk is one of the most beloved, iconic and acclaimed players ever. The 00’s stretch big supreme.
Dirk was able to take the Mavs to immortality over 11’ Heat in arguably the most surprising run ever.
Only Dirk. Forever the DIGGLER.
Arguably, the GOAT Euro player.
1x Champ 1x FMVP 1x MVP
25. Bob Pettit - Big Blue was the first stretch 4 in the games history. That’s for starters. Pettit was a tenacious rebounder and highly skilled scorer.
He was much akin to K. Love of his era but in better shape and played defense. Think a smaller Dirk who grabbed boards like Love but in the 50’s-60’s era. Not only that, much like Dirk, Pettit lead a historic upset over Russell’s Celtics. A true champ.
1x Champ 1x FMVP 2x MVP
26. Dwayne Wade - The Flash.
Wade County. The greatest Heat in NBA history. Wade is arguably the best defensive player at his position and easily too3 (MJ, Kobe). Led the Heat to a title in 06’ in historic fashion against Dirks Mavs.
Then winning a couple more as LBJ’s Pippen. His career was like Kobe’s… in reverse. Wade’s early injuries reduced his maximum career output but yet here he is… says a ton.
3x Champ 1x FMVP
27. Elgin Baylor - The PROTOTYPE.
Before West, Julius, Thompson, Wilkins, MJ, Hardaway, Kobe, Carter, TMac, Wade, Ant etc
There was Elgin Baylor. The first Air, the first Mamba, the first Half Man/Amazing, Flash etc
Baylor spearheaded an era that hardly wanted his talents there but had no other choice but to be in awe of it.
Think Harden, in shape but not as good of a playmaker, twice the rebounder and a better defender.
That’s Elgin.
*left a season before historic LAL title win
28. David Robinson - The Admiral.
The USA’s biggest weapon in the 90’s was also one of the greatest ever.
Made the spurs relevant pre-Duncan and post. Has some of the greatest seasons statistically. Think Giannis but 7’2 with a lefty and 15 footer plus an even better defender.
2x Champ 1x MVP
29. Karl Malone - the Mailman was LBJ minus the handles and vision.
King of the pick n roll.
1x MVP
30. Charles Barkley - The Round Mound of Rebound was the Tasmanian devil in a basketball jersey.
Prime 25 5 13 guy.
Impact everywhere he went.
OG DREAMTEAM member by the way…
1x MVP
30 (?) Clyde Drexler - The Glide. One of the most useful all around talents in nba history. One of the greatest two way players ever. Helped every squad he went to become a contender.
1x Champ

Cracking list mate, maybe the best I've seen.
One thing not mentioned here is MJ's mental fortitude. Just imagine having to win 3 straight championships two separate times. Just imagine the mental toughness and focus that's needed to keep up that level of dominance and excellence for that long. Modern NBA players nowadays would run away at the first sign of adversity. The beauty of it all is that it rubs into his teammates. He has never had stacked teams like most modern stars nowadays but he's done the best with the pieces he's dealt with.

We all wanted to be like Mike
Kids who have never seen him play by Air Jordans
So many of the All Time Greats are in awe of him, talk about him in reverent tones
Excellent narration, strong editing, and compelling sound design. Subscribed!
7:51 - 8:40
That short mix is 🔥
What is the title of the music?
HANDS DOWN THEE BEST MJ VIDEO I’VE EVER SEEN!
Great vid!
This video is insane, the editing is so clean and entertaining, goes along so well with your story telling.
10:13 Don't you just love it how MJ averaged 40.8ppg in 1967, he really can do everything

I was about to comment the same thing😂
lmao my fault
I grew up outside Chicago in the 80s and 90s so of course I am biased. But...
There may never be another athlete like Jordan.
In a sport of superstars where individuals shine, he was as close to perfection as one could be.
Physically, we all know. Perhaps the best leaper ever, cat quick, strong, and had HUGE hands which often goes overlooked.
But that's just the start.
He was perhaps the most psychopathic competitor in the history of team sports. The guy would weep tears of joy while winning a game of Uno.
He was an alpha male. His presence put fear in other players.
His work ethic was second to none.
He maintained a chip on his shoulder throughout his entire career even after being regarded as the best ever.
Another necessity in basketball is aesthetic. Jordan was, IMO, the most aesthetically pleasing player ever. He could float, his jump shot was beautiful, his creativity around the hoop was by far the best we've ever seen. He was good looking, was chiseled, perfectly proportional.
He oozed charisma and still does.
And we haven't even gotten to what he accomplished when he accomplished it.
He came in as Bird and Magic were aging, and the NBA was becoming a global attraction.
He started out on a horrible team that he had to help build up to overcome bullies like the Pistons and juggernauts like the Celtics and Lakers.
You could not have written a fictional story that is as compelling and almost unbelievable as Jordan's.
He retired at the peak of his abilities, and came back to win three more consecutive championships.
The odds of all these things happening again are 1 in a trillion.
I don't idolize human beings. They are not God, and he is not God.
But he is so near-perfect in every way when it comes to basketball that it's hard to believe he was real.
Hyped for thisss onnneee
Sick video, this channels going places for sure
Young bloods get enamored with Lebron placing 4th in all time assist. But junk the fact that Jordan was 2nd all time in steals when he retired the 2nd time (13 season) and currently 4th all time. Proves he is one of, if not the most, elite 2-way player we witnessed.
Sorry, can you answer, now some haters are saying that Jordan’s interception statistics are falsified, what do you say about this?
What are we even talk about. MJ GOAT, period!
Nice content btw
Greatest resume in NBA History. Idk how or why this is so hard for some to accept.
It is not objectively the greatest resume in NBA history.
@@BulletBill-yb3ti really ? i feel like when you take into account rings and accomplishments ( dpoy, nba all defense, scoring titles, finals mvp, nba mvp, all nba first and second team, all star appearances, nba steals leader, etc...) he really seems like the most accomplished nba player ever , and that's without talking about his legacy on basketball internationally. i looked a bit into it and the only player that can kind of compare to that is Kareem. If you have some other knowledge im missing, drop them please. Im interested
@@tatsuyaradheya3528 Well, when I say it is not objectively the greatest resume in history I mean it in the sense that if we compile everything for all players ever with no subjective weight or feelings involved, it won't come out on top.
Things like legacy are very subjective as one can just decide what they think matters for legacy or not.
Now the things you listed like awards, stats leaders etc we can compile those things and Jordan will not come out with the most.
Plus the OP said "Greatest resume in NBA History" so I was referring to NBA not outside of NBA. Which if we were you'd have to include HS and NCAA as well. Which would help Kareem quite a bit as you already alluded to.
Plus we also have to consider that not all awards and stat titles existed for all players ever. So FMVP, DPOY, ALL DEF, BLK, STL did not exist for Wilt and Russell. DPOY did not exist for 13 years of Kareem, BLK, STL did not exist for 4 years of Kareem. So for all time fairly we can only include what was available for all time. For example Wilt, Russell, and Kareem all likely have DPOYs if they existed, and blocks titles that are not officially tracked so it is not objective to give others points for things they can't get points for.
In another post I will display it as this post is already long as it is. To be continued.
I am only using things that were available to all for all history since greatest resume all time is the subject in question and my response that Jordan's is not objectively the highest is in question. NBA accomplishments as the OP said NBA history:
WILT: 51
#1 draft pick: 1
ROY: 1
MVP: 4
RNG: 2
ALL NBA: 10
ALL STAR: 13
ALL STAR MVP: 1
SCR TITLE: 7
REB TITLE: 11
AST TITLE: 1
KAREEM 51
#1 draft pick: 1
ROY: 1
MVP: 6
RNG: 6
ALL NBA: 15
ALL STAR: 19
ALL STAR MVP: 1
SCR TITLE: 2
JORDAN 50
ROY: 1
MVP: 5
RNG: 6
ALL NBA: 11
ALL STAR: 14
ALL STAR MVP: 3
SCR TITLE: 10
*(again there are no FMVP, Steals titles, DPOY and all def here because they did not exist for al of NBA history. If we give Jordan these then we have to guess how many DPOY, all DEF team, and blocks titles Russell, Wilt, Kareem, would have won which means it becomes not objective.)
RUSSELL 45
MVP: 5
RNG: 11
ALL NBA: 11
ALL STAR: 13
ALL STAR MVP: 1
REB TITLE: 4
It is very close but looks like Kareem and Wilt are tied with Jordan just barely behind in an objective compilation of NBA accomplishments that are fair to all time.
This is if we don't include individual records, where if each of those is counted Jordan (12 records) would move ahead of Kareem but then would be well behind Wilt (72, records). So even then Jordan would not come out on top.
LeBron is a contender but he is not finished yet. If we did it right now as is:
LEBRON: 55
#1 pick: 1
ROY: 1
MVP: 4
RNG: 4
ALL NBA: 20
ALL STAR: 20
ALL STAR MVP: 3
SCR TITLE: 1
AST TITLE: 1
So he would be 1st if we don't count each individual record, but he is not finished so this may grow or stay the same who knows.
I am not saying this proves where people should rank all time, but "greatest resume in NBA history" does not objectively belong to Jordan. It's either Wilt if we add the records as accomplishments which you fairly could, or it looks like it will be LeBron if we don't.
Non NBA items would give Jordan 2 olympic golds and 1 NCAA title, but Kareem would pile up ahead of him if we do non NBA accomplishments.Russell would bulk his up as well with that.
Any things like popularity, marketing, subjective diminishing of eras Jordan did not play in, and hypotheticals like "he woulda coulda shoulda" are not an objective collection of accomplishments. Saying "this award means more than that award!" is not an objective collection of accomplishments.
@@BulletBill-yb3ti you cannot treat all these accomplishments as equals. All star and all nba appearances mean nothing compared to rings or MVPS. Also, if you are not weighting DPOYs and all defense teams because they didnt exist and therefore do not represent players like Wilt and Bill well then you would also have to decrease the value of their MVPs since people of even the past did not have the info to understand value as much as we do now.
Why doesn’t this video have over a million views? The algorithm is failing! Superb video.
im a lebron fan but my god this guy is insane i hate how fans of either cant appreciate both
I totally agree with you my nigga I be saying the exact same thing you ain't like either but at least appreciate their greatness!
Great job on this video. Editing and story telling was superb!
Here are some crazy Lebron stats: 1) NBA all-time leader in TURNOVERS: 5000 and counting as of this writing. 2) NBA all-time leader in FINALS GAMES LOST: 33
Love the video man, that glitch editing is sick.
Six views? bro fell off
He was never on
1 sub in 4 years? Bro never had a chance
He's a small UA-camr
You are a legend in your own mind Buddy.
It's a joke why y'all triggered
Good video! Love ur storytelling, editing and stats choices. BTW the he's the Go..... Made me think my headphones were acting up the first 2x😅😅
The Jordan of basketball videos. The editing on the Aura section was scarily beautiful. Share me the name of the music if you can 🤙

Terrific video, man. Got me thinking...why is there even a debate?
🎯
Underrated channel
It's honestly so weird to me to think that in my life, I've seen the tables turn so quickly. I remember being able to synthesize with essays written about him, back in the time when Jordan was untouchable and undisputably the GOAT, and now It's like it's not even the same timeline anymore when you look everywhere and see almost everyone trying to tear him down.
The glaze is insane and I'M HERE FOR IT
MJ DA GOAT
One of the best Jordan-Go%$ Videos out there! Number one in editing! Real passion!!!! AWESOME! That might be one of the G§*T-Videos about his Airness!
this was a sick vid i subscribed!
Great vid man! highly enjoyed these facts about the GOAT!
Yo this channel is dope!
This video was really good. Great job brotha.
thanks bro :)
insanely well made video keep it up
Very high quality video, great work man! 👍
thanks homie :)
Bro keep grinding excellent video excellent content and facts
absolutely bro I appreciate the love 🙏
Stats are amazing. But to me he is the goat because of style. he wasn’t the tallest, he wasn’t the strongest, he wasn’t the fastest. Yet nobody could stop him. The elegance, the creativity, the determination. People who didn’t care about basketball came to see him just to experience the show. Defense and offense. I respect the athleticism, basketball mind and durability of Lebron James, I am fascinated by Steph Curry’s 3 point shooting and how he single handedly changed the game, I marvel at Kareems Sky Hook, I am very impressed by the sheer amount of championships that Bill Russell won, I loved watching Hakeem and his amazing skill & footwork for a man his size, I was in awe of the crazy plays that Larry Bird was able to produce as this unlikely ( relatively ) unathletic looking dude and I loved Magic’s showtime Lakers. But only MJ made me fall in love with basketball. To me, he is not only the goat, but one of the most transcending sports personalities of all time. I feel like if you don’t agree, you most probably were not there to experience it. Because if you were, you would not disagree…
never thought i would get goosebumps from a nba stats video :D
Really well made! There is no question
Michael Jordan is the GOAT. His perfect 6-0 record in the NBA Finals, unmatched scoring ability, and defensive dominance set him apart. Even when adjusting for the physicality of the 1990s and the modern rules that favor offense, Jordan still outperforms. He leads in 31 out of 42 key categories, including scoring, steals, and clutch performance. While LeBron excels in versatility, rebounding, and assists, Jordan's relentless competitiveness and ability to shine under pressure make him the ultimate champion. Whether it's under 90s tough defense or today's game, MJ consistently proves why he's the best. #JordanGOAT #NBA #MichaelJordan
man is so underated, subbed!
Watching him when i was young... It's obvious he the G word. MJ was just on an entirely different level. Tough as hell too
Great video, I knew he was the Bulls franchise but I didn't KNOW he was the buls franchise. Really puts into perspective. Side note: I think you can take away All Star Game MVP's from the last .....maybe.... 10 years from you list of high accomplishment trophies.
the quality of this video is so good that I was surprised to see you have less than 12K subscribers.
I appreciate that homie, it's a journey
I have seen enough long time ago, and I know I have enough sense and intuition to know that this dude is the greatest basketball ever in almost almost all categories
This is actually a super great video
GOAT!!!
I don’t know why it continues to be a debate.
This dude is just……. Unmatched still.
MJ was soo skilled, good and smooth some modern idiots say "he was the only good one in the league or that the rest of the league was trash and watered down" not realizing "the Goat" played in the "golden era" when defense matched offense you could sit in the paint and there was an unwritten "no layup" rule in the playoffs 👈💯 #MJtheGoat-it-never-was-close #great-vid #sub-earned
Newspapers and players on his team back then say the same
@@CcV-m7v just because they are current or former players they are not all sincere... however believe what you will the facts remain regardless 👈💯
Amazing vid, Most of these feats I never heard of and I thought I knew them all ... Thats a new 6/6 for MJ: Top 10 PPG playoff FG%. The remaining 4 are all different players and they are 1/4 in 50%.
I remember watching Jordan at Elmhurst College in a kids camp during a pick up game in 1988, he came off the court and for some reason gave me a bro hug thing and hi fived my friends, we were in high schopl, crazy memory, he didn't look real, like he was a superhero
