Mike Diaz Fitness yeah who knows with that psychopath playing for the bulls. He may have pulled a gun out in the last minute of game seven after he realised they were going to fall short. lol 😆
Sooooo underrated. He led MJ in 3 or more of the 5 main categories (points/rebounds/assists/steals/blocks) in FOUR of their 6 Finals. In JUST the 6 seasons the Bulls won JUST Pip made 5 All NBA Teams & SIX All Defensive Teams (with Horace & Rodman both also making an All Defensive Team). While in Lebrons ENTIRE NINTEEN YEAR CAREER he's had teammates make 5 All NBA Teams (Wade in '11/'12/'13, Kyrie in '15, & AD in '20) & literally JUST TWO All Defensive Teams (Varejao in '09 & AD in '20). He was a top 3-8 player in the league most of those seasons they won. Like Lebrons had to do (except he's had to ALSO do the scoring & defense) Pip did everything for the Bulls. He handled the rebounds, playmaking, took the other teams best player on d, etc so Mj could focus on scoring & important key spurts of elite defense. Imagine having '16-'19 Kawhi but he's ur 4th-6th highest paid player on ur team lol. He'll of an advantage.
Funny how Nick wright decided to put it in second time in the playoffs instead of saying how long they were in the league. To avoid admitting that LeBron didn't even make the playoffs as first two years

People sleep on the Pacers in the 90s. Had it not been for Jordan they would've won at LEAST one title. In fact once Jordan retired and was old and out of the way for good, The Pacers made the Finals and eventually lost to a PRIME Kobe and Shaq in 6. That was an older version of Reggie Miller but still crafty with Jermaine O'neal and veterans but not the same team from the 90s. This is what separates Jordan from Lebron.

With Jordan it was the 1984 Olympic team tune up games against NBA superstars. It was clear that Jordan was a transcendent talent against the best NBA stars.
Wright: "Bulls were running on fumes in that last year" Really? How do you explain Game 3 against Utah, Bulls win 96-54? (An NBA record). Get outta here with that nonsense hate!
Indeed, I don't know why people say that despite them still having the most stacked and deep team of the league, while Stockton-to-Malone and anyone else was getting older but also was still alone with no help (aside for Reggie Miller getting even more help and adding Larry Legend to the coaching spot), it's the others that were running on fumes.
There is a GREAT interview on youtube by luc longley i think. Essentially, they were pushed by MJ to absolutely crush them defensively until the game was over. At halftime they were up 16, and i think ron harper missed a defensive switch and MJ ripped into him-- while up 16 at the HALF. That's how you win games even if you can't score.
To comeback after his ankle in his 2nd season , limited minutes , then go into the first round versus the 86 Celtics One of the greatest teams in history and score 49 in game one then back that up with 63 in game 2 both games at the Boston garden. Come on man he’s the greatest.
The Pacers team was deep and built %100 to beat the Bulls "Old people be lying" Young people hear a small % of info then talk to those who lived it as if they the experts.......
ablackprep yeah Bobby knight might be a little nuts but he is a genius when it comes to basketball. Was the first person to say he’s the greatest basketball player he’s ever seen play and had similar foresight with steph curry in college.
It would have been fun to see but they was done Rodman was 35 years old Scottie never made another all star team but you give a champ a chance to go out on their shield
Fact: Pippen outearned Jordan in NBA salary for his career. The money that Pippen signed for wasn’t the problem; it was the fact that he didn’t negotiate a PLAYER OPTION. Every superstar player today, especially in their prime, all negotiate a player option. That way you can do both have security and bet on yourself.
@THE UMBRELLA CORPORATION I'm sure his agent was agaisnt the contract, especially if the owner told pippen not to sign that contract. Fact of the matter is he got finessed by a sleezy gm that mapped out his usefulness perfectly so he could get the most out of him an never have to pay him. He didn't even want to pay Jordan and Phil but he was forced to pay them or the ship would have crashed very prematurely.
Well nobody saying that there were no friendship back then, a lot of players hung out and all. But during games, no. Outside yes because thats private life. Nowadays people are hugging and everything and they are team is losing the game. Scottie Pippen and Karl Malone were great friends but during Game 1 of the 1997 finals, it was Scottie who told Malone that the Mailman do not deliver on Sunday.
Exactly! It is the lack of heart, drive, intensity and competiveness in the games and player rivalries. Nick Wright with his typical idiotic liberal logic. Twisting the truth and being ignorant! Nick Wright is an ignorant clown!
Kind of hard to take Wright seriously when he actually thinks Lebron is a better player. I don't think he has really watched Jordan play. Cowherd has changed his tune on that whole conversation and is saying now that Jordan was better.
What the heck does mean when Nick says "Jordan is greatest for some?" WTF? Most people think Jordan is the GOAT. Stop downplaying things. I am an Asian and 99% of all Asians think Jordan is the GOAT. We don't even really talk about Lebron.
@@MusicLuv80 the media did the same thing for jordan that they do for lebron put them on a pedestal and seperate them from the other greats to influence public opinion neither came close to what bill Russell and wilt the goat Chamberlain did
@@coreyreeves3841 Media does it for Lebron way more. I am old enough to witness Jordan play but media defense Lebron lot more. way more. Media didn't need to defense Jordan because he was great every single game even they lost.
I guess it depends on what is “instant”, when you’re talking about all time greats in your scenario. Jordan, Duncan, Wilt, etc were 23 but had just come in the league, like “instantly” making and impact. But when you say Lebron beat them to it at 22, he had been in the league for a few years. What’s the cut off for “instantly”?
Lol first off its sad u wanna try to unfairly compare Lebrom at 19 to MJ at 21but its even sadder u need this explained...... he said once they got into the PLAYOFFS they INSTANTLY showed they were elite & didn't start off normal & slowly got better 🤦🏼♂️ -Lebron came into the league at 19 (& was MUCH better as a 19 year old in the league than Kobe was lol). He was 21 & avgd 36/8/6 on 51% shooting 😳 his 1st playoff series. -MJ came in at 21. He was 21 & avgd 29/6/9 on 43% shooting his 1st playoff series. -Duncan at 21. He was 22 & avgd 20/10/3 his 1st playoff series. -Kobe at 18. He was 19 & avgd 8/1/1 his 1st playoff series. Notice Kobe....nless ur Lebron or Luka most guys struggle as TEENAGERS in the NBA lol. Him & Lebron had the 2 hardest ramp ups of the other top 10 pf all time players......going from high school schedules & competition to NBA. Meanwhile MJ got to learn from 1 of the best coaches of all time for years at college (plus olympic coaching from Bob Knight... ANOTHER top coach of ALL TIME....oh wait then he gets a top 3 NBA coach of ALL TIME haha ). Looks like just ANOTHER advantage MJ had to help him. Lebron actally showed elite playoff moments YOUNGER than MJ did lol. Lebrons bday is December while MJs is Feb. As i said though what Nick was saying is in the PLAYOFFS they INSTANTLY were elite no matter how young they were (except for Kobe obviously). -At 21 years old in Lebrons 1st playoff game he put up a 30 pt triple double lol -Then when his FIRST playoff series was tied 2-2 he put up a 45/8/7 in game 5 & then 32/7/7 including 5 of the teams 7 points in overtime in the close out game 6....again all at age 21 & yoinger than MJ was in his 1st playoff series -Then the next series avgd 27/9/6 vs 1 of the greatest defenses EVER & pushed that Pistons team that made 6 straight ECFs to 7 games with his best teammate in the series avging 11 points & Larry Hughes going down in game 2 lol. But again he avgd 36/8/6 his FIRST playoff series at age 21 (which was better than MJs 29/6/9 PLUS was sloghtly younger then MJ). He IMMEDIATELY showed it 🤦🏼♂️
Another thing is that no one mentions mj contract was 24 million for 8 yrs and pippen was 19 for 8years but Pippen came in the league later... so it was somewhat the same, 33 million per year was just for a couple of years and MJ honored his contract and everythime he played he played to win, he never delayed a foot cirgury to force the GM hands after siging a bad contract knowing the rules that were the same for everybody from MJ to the Janitor thats business (because he felt unappreciated)
Instant in your head Nick. You were still crawling and drooling when MJ competed against the BadBoys and Celtics in 80's, earned his GOAT in early 90's and maintained his GOAT status in late 90's.
@@lorenzomartinjr Yeah, they have some in the media that really speak from the heart but the programmers and producers have certain "anylist" say stuff and create story lines just for ratings. No way in the world with Lebron's track record and I'm not talking wins and losses I'm talking episodes, meltdowns and game in general should be mentioned before Kobe. I feel you on that. In fact I'll go so far to say that I think people mistake his athletic ability with his performance. In terms of performance and reliability in tough moments, Magic, Kobe and Larry Bird I would take before I take Lebron. We don't even need to call Mike's name , that's automatic.
Ummm the whole series isn’t even out yet ! Wait until the next episodes come out. They literally talk about how they can’t get past the Pistons for a few years and then MJ rose to GOATness.
totally agree. Nick Wright just sucks. I don't mind disagreeing with him or with anyone who their GOAT is. i get it. but saying Jordan's rise was instant???? OMG. did he really think that during Jordan's NC years was quick in Dean Smith's team first orientated system? I don't mind Nick Wright being provocative but man! he just sounds dumb.

AND BTW i read dean smith's books. if you believe in the system that roy williams is continuing to implement now you would understand that in that system it's not about the player. it's the team.
Episodes 3 and 4 showed how easy players have it today. The brutality MJ and the Bulls had to go through to get to the top was something else. I seen it myself. There was a game where MJ was fouled hard mid air and fell to the floor. One other Piston player fell to the floor with him, Dennis Rodman. Rodman then punched MJ in the gut while MJ was on the floor.
MJ had never earned more than $4m before 1996-97 season and he was MJ, he also knew what it was to be underpaid, so had been through that, he was in a position to say Scottie was being selfish, because for MJ is was always about winning. The doc highlights a lot MJ's salary that year without putting the right context, it made look like MJ was making a lot of money these whole years when he only got paid in the last 2 seasons with the Bulls.
Noticed how he used “age 23” at 0:55 when Listing all time greats and their early achievements, before Lebron and said “age 22, but we should expect that”, as if to say Lebron is better. So Nick, why not say year 2 for Jordan and Kareem and year 4 for Lebron? I mean if you wanna say Lebron deserves an mvp in year 17, instead of age 35 - where Michael won an mvp at age 35 and Lebron won’t. The fact that he switches the lingo he uses to just make Lebron appear the slightest bit better when in reality it is disingenuous, shows how biased he really is.
And he didn't mention Magic won at age 20...Nick is a hater plain & simple...At least Michael lost to some of the greatest teams ever early on who eventually were champs...
Nick Wright, Instant? look to this Stats: MVP Kobe Bryant 2008: 28.3 PPG, 6.3 RPG, 5.4 APG, 45.9%: Rookie MJ: 28.2 PPG, 6.5 RPG, 5.9 APG, 51.5%. I really need to understand what is instant?

Hmm interesting... According to Nick, MJ facing the 98 Pacers were good but far from great bc they pushed them to 7 games but somehow he and the rest of the LBJ stan clan overrate most of LBJ’s opponents. Most recently the 2018 playoff run, you’d think they were superteams filled with 5 all stars the way them fools go on about that.

Asmosis Jones It’s pointless in a sense that no matter how much facts are thrown in someone’s face, they’re never gonna change their opinion on something. So yea it’d be useless like any other debate. Even when history tells us LBJ has never been clutch like MJ in the finals, has had way more help than him as well, has never taken a team to the finals & won from the ground up etc even when you add that & combine rings/stats/playoff-finals stats/clutchness at the highest level/skills/accomplishments etc LBJ ain’t touching MJ. Thing is LBJ fans have a lot of hypotheticals towards MJ, no actual arguments, they also contradict themselves more than anyone. So yea it is funny.
@@razkable LBJ carried bums to the finals??? ummm when your team is the TOP seed, you don't have bums on your team carrying Bums is when you have drug addicts/slobs on your team, only played 18 games and you're on minutes restriction but somehow made sure the team still make the playoffs You don't carry bums to the finals as a TOP seed, unless the WHOLE conference were BUMS.

Let's not forget Jordan won his first championship in 1991 vs the Lakers with the Chicago Bulls and Jordan was the single All star player on the Bulls Scottie Pippen was not yet reached all star status in 91 let that sink in.
Robbie R LeBron never did the begging. If you watch D Wade’s documentary you’ll see Wade and Bosh were recruiting LeBron to come to Miami. They even held a watch party to watch the decision. They were nervous because LeBron hadn’t returned either of their calls for a few days. Draymond literally called KD from the parking lot of the arena after the warriors lost game 7 to recruit him.
What are your thoughts on the first two episodes of Michael Jordan's documentary "The Last Dance"?
Mpls 612 that’s cause his roll diminished when he stacked it up with Houston and Portland. Not because he lost his ability.
Lebron wouldn’t have left if he was in Jordan’s shoes, he might have even got Jerry Krause fired. That’s why Lebron is the true goat.

Sooooo underrated. He led MJ in 3 or more of the 5 main categories (points/rebounds/assists/steals/blocks) in FOUR of their 6 Finals.
In JUST the 6 seasons the Bulls won JUST Pip made 5 All NBA Teams & SIX All Defensive Teams (with Horace & Rodman both also making an All Defensive Team).
While in Lebrons ENTIRE NINTEEN YEAR CAREER he's had teammates make 5 All NBA Teams (Wade in '11/'12/'13, Kyrie in '15, & AD in '20) & literally JUST TWO All Defensive Teams (Varejao in '09 & AD in '20).
He was a top 3-8 player in the league most of those seasons they won. Like Lebrons had to do (except he's had to ALSO do the scoring & defense) Pip did everything for the Bulls. He handled the rebounds, playmaking, took the other teams best player on d, etc so Mj could focus on scoring & important key spurts of elite defense.

People sleep on the Pacers in the 90s. Had it not been for Jordan they would've won at LEAST one title. In fact once Jordan retired and was old and out of the way for good, The Pacers made the Finals and eventually lost to a PRIME Kobe and Shaq in 6. That was an older version of Reggie Miller but still crafty with Jermaine O'neal and veterans but not the same team from the 90s. This is what separates Jordan from Lebron.

Indeed, I don't know why people say that despite them still having the most stacked and deep team of the league, while Stockton-to-Malone and anyone else was getting older but also was still alone with no help (aside for Reggie Miller getting even more help and adding Larry Legend to the coaching spot), it's the others that were running on fumes.
There is a GREAT interview on youtube by luc longley i think. Essentially, they were pushed by MJ to absolutely crush them defensively until the game was over. At halftime they were up 16, and i think ron harper missed a defensive switch and MJ ripped into him-- while up 16 at the HALF. That's how you win games even if you can't score.

Nick keep playing and Lebron gon trade him to ESPN deportes
When MJ dropped 63 on a veteran all time great Celtic team.MJ only played 100 pro games!!
Fact: Pippen outearned Jordan in NBA salary for his career.
The money that Pippen signed for wasn’t the problem; it was the fact that he didn’t negotiate a PLAYER OPTION. Every superstar player today, especially in their prime, all negotiate a player option. That way you can do both have security and bet on yourself.
@THE UMBRELLA CORPORATION I'm sure his agent was agaisnt the contract, especially if the owner told pippen not to sign that contract. Fact of the matter is he got finessed by a sleezy gm that mapped out his usefulness perfectly so he could get the most out of him an never have to pay him. He didn't even want to pay Jordan and Phil but he was forced to pay them or the ship would have crashed very prematurely.
Well nobody saying that there were no friendship back then, a lot of players hung out and all. But during games, no. Outside yes because thats private life. Nowadays people are hugging and everything and they are team is losing the game.

I guess it depends on what is “instant”, when you’re talking about all time greats in your scenario.

What’s the cut off for “instantly”?
Great point I wish people would catch Nick or anybody that makes bad point and school them with facts.
Lol first off its sad u wanna try to unfairly compare Lebrom at 19 to MJ at 21but its even sadder u need this explained...... he said once they got into the PLAYOFFS they INSTANTLY showed they were elite & didn't start off normal & slowly got better 🤦🏼♂️
-Lebron came into the league at 19 (& was MUCH better as a 19 year old in the league than Kobe was lol). He was 21 & avgd 36/8/6 on 51% shooting 😳 his 1st playoff series.
-MJ came in at 21. He was 21 & avgd 29/6/9 on 43% shooting his 1st playoff series.
-Duncan at 21. He was 22 & avgd 20/10/3 his 1st playoff series.
-Kobe at 18. He was 19 & avgd 8/1/1 his 1st playoff series.
Notice Kobe....nless ur Lebron or Luka most guys struggle as TEENAGERS in the NBA lol. Him & Lebron had the 2 hardest ramp ups of the other top 10 pf all time players......going from high school schedules & competition to NBA. Meanwhile MJ got to learn from 1 of the best coaches of all time for years at college (plus olympic coaching from Bob Knight... ANOTHER top coach of ALL TIME....oh wait then he gets a top 3 NBA coach of ALL TIME haha ). Looks like just ANOTHER advantage MJ had to help him.
Lebron actally showed elite playoff moments YOUNGER than MJ did lol. Lebrons bday is December while MJs is Feb.
As i said though what Nick was saying is in the PLAYOFFS they INSTANTLY were elite no matter how young they were (except for Kobe obviously).
-At 21 years old in Lebrons 1st playoff game he put up a 30 pt triple double lol
-Then when his FIRST playoff series was tied 2-2 he put up a 45/8/7 in game 5 & then 32/7/7 including 5 of the teams 7 points in overtime in the close out game 6....again all at age 21 & yoinger than MJ was in his 1st playoff series
-Then the next series avgd 27/9/6 vs 1 of the greatest defenses EVER & pushed that Pistons team that made 6 straight ECFs to 7 games with his best teammate in the series avging 11 points & Larry Hughes going down in game 2 lol.
But again he avgd 36/8/6 his FIRST playoff series at age 21 (which was better than MJs 29/6/9 PLUS was sloghtly younger then MJ). He IMMEDIATELY showed it 🤦🏼♂️
Is doing it their VERY FIRST playoff game & FIRST playoff series would be 'instant' enough for u lol. That's what Nick said 🤦🏼♂️
Nick and Colin need to have a debate on who hates Jordan the most .
Nick Wright would definitely win the debate.
Another thing is that no one mentions mj contract was 24 million for 8 yrs and pippen was 19 for 8years but Pippen came in the league later... so it was somewhat the same, 33 million per year was just for a couple of years and MJ honored his contract and everythime he played he played to win, he never delayed a foot cirgury to force the GM hands after siging a bad contract knowing the rules that were the same for everybody from MJ to the Janitor thats business (because he felt unappreciated)
Nick still salty: What if MJ goes 7 for 7 instead of 6-1? BTW: 6-1 would still be better than 3-6!!😂

His analysis is spot on. Don't know what you're talking about.
Episodes 3 and 4 showed how easy players have it today. The brutality MJ and the Bulls had to go through to get to the top was something else. I seen it myself. There was a game where MJ was fouled hard mid air and fell to the floor. One other Piston player fell to the floor with him, Dennis Rodman. Rodman then punched MJ in the gut while MJ was on the floor.
here comes nick wrong again 🤦♂️🤦♂️
People forget the Eaat was brutal back in those years while the West is a bit top heavy
Right MJ beat 20 50+ win teams.. Bron beat 10 the East was loaded back then
the East was so loaded that the Bulls, a 30 win team, made the playoffs
MJ had never earned more than $4m before 1996-97 season and he was MJ, he also knew what it was to be underpaid, so had been through that, he was in a position to say Scottie was being selfish, because for MJ is was always about winning. The doc highlights a lot MJ's salary that year without putting the right context, it made look like MJ was making a lot of money these whole years when he only got paid in the last 2 seasons with the Bulls.
Noticed how he used “age 23” at 0:55 when Listing all time greats and their early achievements, before Lebron and said “age 22, but we should expect that”, as if to say Lebron is better. So Nick, why not say year 2 for Jordan and Kareem and year 4 for Lebron? I mean if you wanna say Lebron deserves an mvp in year 17, instead of age 35 - where Michael won an mvp at age 35 and Lebron won’t. The fact that he switches the lingo he uses to just make Lebron appear the slightest bit better when in reality it is disingenuous, shows how biased he really is.
And he didn't mention Magic won at age 20...Nick is a hater plain & simple...At least Michael lost to some of the greatest teams ever early on who eventually were champs...

Even when history tells us LBJ has never been clutch like MJ in the finals, has had way more help than him as well, has never taken a team to the finals & won from the ground up etc even when you add that & combine rings/stats/playoff-finals stats/clutchness at the highest level/skills/accomplishments etc LBJ ain’t touching MJ. Thing is LBJ fans have a lot of hypotheticals towards MJ, no actual arguments, they also contradict themselves more than anyone. So yea it is funny.
What team that lebron lost to, wasn't better than the Pacers team faced in the eastern conference? 🤔
@@razkable LBJ carried bums to the finals??? ummm when your team is the TOP seed, you don't have bums on your team
carrying Bums is when you have drug addicts/slobs on your team, only played 18 games and you're on minutes restriction but somehow made sure the team still make the playoffs
You don't carry bums to the finals as a TOP seed, unless the WHOLE conference were BUMS.
One thing is for sure, Nick Wright, not the GOAT of his craft
during the 90's, defense were thougher. no blood, no foul.. - big lie! i watched some of the full games(not clips) of the 90's finals. what i saw is an illegal defense rulling.
How does Nick Wright still have a job?
name change: Nick Wrong.
I know brousard old because his headphones got wires
It’s 2020 we wireless
Ez Ng33 nah u dumb to pay $150 to not have strings
These dudes are children
It's a joke 🤯
what is it Nick have not said about mj?to be honest about it, mj was cut in college,to call him the goat, please, LeBron won MVP at 22 years old, mj at 23
Let's not forget Jordan won his first championship in 1991 vs the Lakers with the Chicago Bulls and Jordan was the single All star player on the Bulls Scottie Pippen was not yet reached all star status in 91 let that sink in.
Playing with your buddy in golf during a playoff series and begging your buddy to join you during a season/playoff series are 2 different things.
Robbie R LeBron never did the begging. If you watch D Wade’s documentary you’ll see Wade and Bosh were recruiting LeBron to come to Miami. They even held a watch party to watch the decision. They were nervous because LeBron hadn’t returned either of their calls for a few days. Draymond literally called KD from the parking lot of the arena after the warriors lost game 7 to recruit him.
