"Damn girl! You're hotter than Jordan at the Garden!" Game 2 was perfection. The greatest team of all-time versus the greatest player of all time. An OT thriller, the playoff record for most points(63) in a single game, enough HOF players to fill a bus, and the best possible venue for it to occur in.
Also he had greatness in the way he played to be respected, and held his team mates accountable which brought out the best in them with his tough love style.
@@johnsilva3257 nah, Jordan was a straight up trash teammate lmao. Comparing Jordan to Duncan, Magic or Bird? He's not the teammate they were. Nothing wrong with that but Jordan doesn't have to be the goat at everything. He's not the goat defender, teammate, free throw shooter, nickname, dunker. So many aspects in this game
I cannot believe I am just seeing this. This is GREAT!!! Two of the GOATS on one video. THANK YOU! Just in case someone wants to question this, there can be more than one GOAT. Michael Jordan and Larry Bird; PERIODT!
What I love about that era of basketball it was all 100 percent pure balling NO FLOPPING,NO WHINNYING, NO BEGGING AT THE OFFICIALS FOR A CALL..man the physical nature of game was worth a game ticket anytime anywhere.
VERY few thought Kareem’s all time scoring record would be surpassed, someone some day may break Jordan’s 63pt playoff record. But I HIGHLY doubt it will be against a juggernaut of a team, one with 5 Hall of Famers, one of the greatest teams EVER. That’s what makes MJ’s performance so GREAT!
This was the very first basketball game I ever watched. I wouldn’t watch high school college or pros either live in person or on tv. I watched it to see how great Larry was. I remained a big Larry fan but I was convinced on that day to watch every possible Jordan game. Never missed a finals game. Every night I watched him play I would go run a mile or so just so I could calm down and get some sleep.
If you have someone like Larry Bird calling MJ God in a basketball game is the highest compliment a player could get.. That's why MJ is the greatest player ever to play the game.. MJ and Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell and Larry Bird are my Greatest players of all time...
Jordan was the goat 🐐 no debate, only player too play in 3 generations! The 80’s 90’s & 2000’s ( 39-41 for the Washington wizards and still was a top 5-10 player AT THE AGE OF 40!!! )
And still is the goat 🐐! People talking he took 18 months off! Yeah he did!! But lebron took 4 years off college, and they talking longevity. He was playing baseball and in baseball you practice too! I assume!?
@14:31...and that tells you MJ's mindset. I have been telling people for the longest that he would rather have less points and "win" than more points (or stats) and "lose". I would have loved to have seen the 90's Bulls against this same Celtics team.
I remember several people saying he was just a shot in the pants back then, he proved them all wrong for sure! That was during the time that the NBA was truly great.
Larry Bird himself said “that’s not MichaelJordan,that’s god disguised as Michael Jordan” after MJ’s 104th career game after coming off a 64 game absence with a broken foot. Nick Wright characterizes that series as ‘mike couldn’t beat larry bird’. Lmao.😁
Kyle Macey was coach at Morehead St back in the late 90s early 2000s. He had a camp every summer. He told the story tht him and MJ combined for for 70 pts. Pretty funny to hear him tell it.
That game right there, made him the goat, not because he realized how good he was, he realized I need a team around me.! Facts. That's when he needed everyone around him to be the best they can be. The Celtics taught him that, it's not about one guy, it's about a team
There should be a book of Larry Bird quotes because this dude kept it super 💯. He never catered to his stans in Boston he always spoke HIS mind not what his fans wanted to her him say. He once said if a white guy guards him he feels disrespected, and that's just one of his quotes. 🤷🏽♂️
I lived in Aurora, thirty miles west of Chicago and got to the city often. Before Jordan I could get tickets to ANY game, good seats mostly, and balcony seats were always available. I saw Mike play several times in his first two and a half seasons but, by the middle of his third year the Stadium was full all the time and tickets were scarce or impossible. There has never been a better player or one more important to his team, his city, or the league than Jordan. He changed the game and took Dr. J's game to new heights. The League has expanded and flourished because of Michael Jordan. All of today's players owe him a debt. There is NO player in the league as good as Michael Jordan was. There may never be.
You know how you know Jordan is just the best of all time!? You’ll never see 100s of videos of a player with just 10 other players talking about how amazing he is!! There’s so many videos like this of just one game interviews!! It’s actually insane
Many stories lol. I like the memphis grizzlies story from 96 😂😂 He was has having a bad game and some decided to trash talk him. The outcome didnt end well. Its on youtube
@@TEDSHOTTHAT when you watch the last dance throughout the entire series he says that’s all i needed to hear. Once you made him mad, or said something stupid, he would just end your life lol
There’s certain iconic moments and clips in basketball and for me one of the best ever is when Jordan goes through his legs hops to the side for the jumper over bird..dam that cat could move
One word GOAT 🐐 #23 Jordan. 🛑 The senseless debating.!! During that 3 peat. And 2nd 3 peat. I was so proud to be a bulls fan. I kept a fresh pair of Jordan’s 👟.!!!
He played 15 years and scored almost 32,000 points ,retired twice that makes 13 years ,so imagine how many points he would've score if he played 20 seasons like LeBron James ,at 40 he avg 21.2 points per game with the wizards ,that's insane so he was supposed to shatter every record ,but he really wanted to surpass magic and bird ,that were from his era and retired in peace knowing he eclipsed the 2 best players of his era ,but against Kobe and LeBron Michael would've go to a new level ,when u challenge Michael he bring a level you've never seen before ,and people forget that ,he played passive until u challenge him ,that's why people consider him the greatest to ever do it
Crazy thing is it was Jordan v a proper Super Team and he was sooo close to actually beating them, aaand this was basically an extension of his rookie season because he’d been out all year, aaand he sank his two free throws at the end of regulation… if it were todays rules he’d have sank one more (because it was a three attempt) and won the game. Imagine if he’d had the luxury of joining a team that already had a bunch of great players like Magic & Bird did.
@@Jay-uq5bf The Lakers and the Celtics in the 80’s were the power-house teams. We all know this… And they would both smash the crap out of any team along with Jordan’s Bulls… I’m still trying to think which team would come close?… 🤔 The Warriors possibly, but how?… 😆
@@stevegriffey8255 well, for the warriors in 2017, if They then drafted LeBron after LeBron has actually gone to college, that would be the equivalent of the Lakers drafting Magic. Or if LeBron's heat team drafted KD straight out of college, that would be the Celtics and Bird

Bostons home record 1986=40-1 Larry Bird, was MVP. I remember actually watchign that game. I didn't have cable back then. The game was on blackout in detroit. But a friend of a friend, was watching the game. OMG. We had missed the entire season, as Mike was out. MIND YOU, I was in Highschool at the time. JORDAN Popped 63, over the Boston Celtics.. In which Boston had the best record in the League. And also BOSTON went on to be the World Champions, that YEAR. So the GOAT put up 63 against the World Champs. Same year, Larry Bird was MVP. Things, people forget when Jordan went off for 63.. WHO was he playing, and What team. And winning in BOSTON.. Which was extremely difficult that year.
What they never talk about is game three in Chicago when Jordan finished with 19 points, and fouled out when the Celtics attacked him when he was playing defense.
As a Celtics fan even though we won the 63 point performance……..after the game I looked at my brother and said “uh oh, think we and the rest of the NBA are gonna have our hands full. This guy is beyond awesome “
Everyone was in awe of his game, skill, athleticism, and non-stop attack on both ends, but his whole game was so fundamentally sound & airtight in those fundamental...crazy! Nothing works without footwork, handles, vision, IQ, body control, and DAWG. This dude literally put it all together on every level, and had the physics gifts to execute at will and still step up when needed...4 quarters per game for 82 games per season & he never cheated the fans by cheating the game. Everyone talks about his poor 3pt shot, but his career average on far fewer attempts is league average today!😂🤣😂🤣😂 I think Vernon Maxwell said it best, "Mike ain't stopping on either end. You know He's attacking you and your team all night long."🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m so happy I was alive when Jordan played. I remember watching the ACC Championship game and seeing this guy doing things with a basketball I’d seen. I’ve been a fan since. My 27 year old daughter is named after him.
People talk like Mike's mid-range game was later in his career. Nah, that was pretty much throughout his entire career. It just got better, and better, and better...
Im glad he pointed out people misunderstood mj's attitude. He brings people up, even to ones playing against him. And they repected him for earning it. The nba now will never understand that and the competitiveness r gone along with it. Well there's some of it but its far from what it used to or coulda been.
Pretty awesome watching this well put together clip about NBA greats talking about these awesome stories. Nothing but respect for your hard work sir😁👍👍
The "arguably" thing makes me laugh. You listen to some of the greatest players from the greatest teams talk about this guy in awe, and then look at the stats. A stats-alone analysis allows LeBron to be in the conversation, but the eyeball test just puts that away. A point made at the end is one of the keys for me: Jordan never gave up in a game. LeBron...
That part...yes I couldn't help but think of lebron at that point and think we'll that's the opposite of lebron who gives up when the going gets tough.
That statement given to the press made everyone happy. The media, as Larry Legend didn't spend easily any compliment to opponents, let alone comparin one of them to God. The fans and the NBA board, who were all thirsty looking forward for MJ's inevitable rise and dominance. And Bird himself who while feeding the media with some stuff they never even hoped to hear from such a living and respected institution in the world of basketball stated indirectly that not even God in disguise was good enough to stop him and the Celtics. Genius.
Was 12 n 86 can remember watching Mike hit 63 in the Garden being from Detroit we hated Bird and Boston ... seeing Jordan in his rookie year was remarkable 💯
Today's fans will say it took Jordan overtime to hit 63, while superstars today could hit 60 easily. What they don't realized, the Celtics in the 80s were one of the greatest team ever. They might not have been as athletic as today's stars but they play fundamentally sound basketball and Bird is one of the most clutch player ever. MJ took 0 3 pointers in this game. Meanwhile today's stars need to hit a lot of 3s to even get 60. MJ wasn't even expected to be back after breaking his foot at the beginning of the season. Despite how easy today's players score 60 in a game, This record still stand. This was 2nd year Mike as well without a legit star next to him. People use this series against him as if he's not great, him getting swept by this Boston team back to back is equivalent to Lebron on the Cavs getting swept by the Warriors and Spurs (I believe he's one of the only great players to get swept by a great team). Let's face it the eastern conference in the 80s-90s was tougher, while in the 00 the east was weak.
It was plenty of athletic players in the 80s and 90s maybe even more than today, the only thing different today players have is 3 point shooting because that's what the game is but they had plenty of great shooters that could shoot the 3 too, 80s and 90s was more fundamentally than today's players
@@eazymoneymane7789 And they could bring u in the post and abuse u all day lol nowadays ders no big boi basketball being played it's just a 3pt shooting contest

Great video!! There are so many different superlatives to describe MJ but the one that sticks out to me is how everyone said he treats practices!!! When everyone is going half or 3/4 speed, Mike is playing in practice like it’s his last day on earth! And consequently Oakley or Bird said “I’ve never EVER seen Michael quit!!!” How the hell can u have an all time athlete mixed with insane talent, and unmatched work ethic??!! G O A T!!!
Bro MJ played the 2 guard thats his job lol. His position is to play good defense and score first. Wilt had to be the best defender, rebounder, passer, etc for his teams and still be the best scorer on the team. Teams werent afraid of 1 man cause he cant beat a whole team. What ppl were afraid of was the fact that the Bulls could play defense and get stops with or without MJ on the floor, he was an over the top piece to a team that was already contending. You want Mike to try and score everything when your team is better than his, thats what Bird Celtics gameplan was. They swept him even 63 pts. Its when his team is getting stops that he is scary. 96 Bulls would honestly get fucked up by 86 Celtics ngl. And a man named Len Bias would have gotten Bird 6 rings before 1990 if he didnt OD
@@lotuslife3239 bruh without them I dont think we would be talking about the Bulls or Celtics or Lakers. They were the 'factor' Wilt dominated an era of midgets and still losses to a small role player named Bill. So nobody really feared him. He feared the Celtics. Bird swept MJ and his Bulls, true. Did you bother checking his individual numbers and his team mates? He had NO HELP. Check the box score too. Its not as if they were washed by 30 or something. There were close games and the bottom feeder Bulls wiped them with 20 pts in the regular season. Imagine that Larry and his star studded team got washed by a bottom feeder team
@@halfshot253 the fact u said Bill Russell was a role player means im not even gonna argue with ur logic lmao. He was like Anthony Davis with durability. Could pass like Jokic, ran the floor better than any 6'10 player today. Bill Russell jumped over a guy in a clip i saw literally. Wilt has 2 rings because his coaches and teams sucked and the Celtics had all the money to dominate. When Wilt got good coaching he broke records. 33-0 run, blowing out contending teams like Warriors. Bird carried his team in ways Mike couldnt. And Mike did things nobody else could do. Still isnt a doubt in my mind if you got another good Forward next to those Celtics, Bird would play the 2 guard and dominate, Jordan wouldnt be able to guard Bird never was able to actually Scottie cant do it Mike forsure cant. And btw just watching highlights it was clear the league Wilt played in knew small ball was the way to win and Wilt was an outcast like Shaq. But there were other guys even taller than Wilt, 7'3 Swede Halbrook being 1. But 6'10-6'11 mobile centers have always been the way to win in a team setting, as athletic as Wilt was he let his team control the ball and he wanted to catch and score in the post like Shaq, led to his teams losing a lot cause his ball handler sucked and nobody else could score. Bill Russell grabs the rebound and runs the floor as a 6'10 point forward. Wilt never got shut down by Russell, but he was more focused on stats a lot cause he didnt have a coach like Red Aurbauch to tell him how to win, and didnt have the personnel either. He wins easy with Cousy, KC Jones, Havliceck,
@@lotuslife3239 thats story telling then sensationalized by morons such as yourself 😄 Pass like Jokic...the man was the biggest guy on the court playing against white midgets who dribble the balls in one hand 🤣 on a 14 teams league. Sit down bruh Lets not act as if the guards had nothing to do with the wins. End of the day, the one who scored more wins 😄
@@halfshot253 whatever bruh watch some film. Average height in 1960 was the same as today 6'6 difference is the players had actual jobs outside of the league because they werent treated like celebrities painting their nails and wearing stupid outfits. Bros couldnt dribble like today because of the rules, but Pistol Pete bout 10 years later putting today's ball handlers to shame at 6'5. Pistol Pete 68 pts with no 3pt line and was hitting shots from that deep. Players back then way less athletic but there were still lots of high flying players, old school rims cant take the kind of force later ones did. They banned dunking for a time when Wilt was playing. Those unathletic white midgets got more dog in them then 90% if today's "depressed" league.
MJ had established himself as the GOAT by the end of his 2nd year, among the greatest who had ever played. Meanwhile, 20 years into his career, Lebron and his fans are still trying to make a case.
MJ fear was getting cut in the NBA by his coach since he was cut in High School. The fear made him the best. That Celtic team was probably the best of all time.
2:17 this is an interview from October 5, 1984. Michael Jordan’s first professional game. An exhibition game played in front of just 2,100 fans against the Indiana Pacers, at the Peoria Civic Center in Peoria, Illinois. I know this because the arena is still there and looks mostly the same.

Wow, talk about Celtics luck. They came around at right time in history.
and if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle.
@@TheGhostofMrArthurs Any new ones? That one has been used countless times. But, what's interesting is...with the mindset of people in this day & age, your aunt can be your uncle without the balls. 🤔
I remember watching that live. I was 9 at the time and knew this was special
Kevin McHale's final comment is still what separates Jordan from others that claim greatest. "There was no quit in him. You never saw Michael quit on the basketball court." Kobe had that mentality. Others don't.
Message for LeBalco James
"Damn girl! You're hotter than Jordan at the Garden!"
Game 2 was perfection. The greatest team of all-time versus the greatest player of all time.
An OT thriller, the playoff record for most points(63) in a single game, enough HOF players to fill a bus, and the best possible venue for it to occur in.
My dad always told me you're not being talked down to, you're being pulled up. I think that what people misunderstood about MJs attitude.
Man, that's good
Also he had greatness in the way he played to be respected, and held his team mates accountable which brought out the best in them with his tough love style.
@@johnsilva3257 nah, Jordan was a straight up trash teammate lmao. Comparing Jordan to Duncan, Magic or Bird? He's not the teammate they were. Nothing wrong with that but Jordan doesn't have to be the goat at everything. He's not the goat defender, teammate, free throw shooter, nickname, dunker. So many aspects in this game
@@Pallehz He's just plain and simple The Goat!
@@Pallehzfoh
The fact that he did that against arguably an all time top 3 team(96 Bulls, 86 Celts, 87 Lakers) is even crazier
I cannot believe I am just seeing this. This is GREAT!!! Two of the GOATS on one video. THANK YOU! Just in case someone wants to question this, there can be more than one GOAT. Michael Jordan and Larry Bird; PERIODT!
What I love about that era of basketball it was all 100 percent pure balling NO FLOPPING,NO WHINNYING, NO BEGGING AT THE OFFICIALS FOR A CALL..man the physical nature of game was worth a game ticket anytime anywhere.
The polar opposite of what this eras game is like...a bunch of crybaby wimps ushered in by lebron and people wonder why he gets so much hate.
Facts
Players like that don't come to often.. looking back it was a privilege to say I watched him prime time
VERY few thought Kareem’s all time scoring record would be surpassed, someone some day may break Jordan’s 63pt playoff record. But I HIGHLY doubt it will be against a juggernaut of a team, one with 5 Hall of Famers, one of the greatest teams EVER. That’s what makes MJ’s performance so GREAT!
Against DJ a known elite defender
This was the very first basketball game I ever watched. I wouldn’t watch high school college or pros either live in person or on tv. I watched it to see how great Larry was. I remained a big Larry fan but I was convinced on that day to watch every possible Jordan game. Never missed a finals game. Every night I watched him play I would go run a mile or so just so I could calm down and get some sleep.
It's good to see all these stories that aren't the standard that make it around and around and around
If you have someone like Larry Bird calling MJ God in a basketball game is the highest compliment a player could get.. That's why MJ is the greatest player ever to play the game.. MJ and Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell and Larry Bird are my Greatest players of all time...
Truly enjoying these videos, Nick. Thank you for doing this for all of us GOAT fans.
The weird thing is that the players guarding MJ were great at what they did, he just couldn't be stopped period 😅
I remember that 86 playoff game. Yes, I'm that young now 😆😆😆
When you combine raw talent with a maniacal work ethic and laser focus appetite to winning you get Jordan, the greatest athlete in any sport, ever imo
Him or Muhammad Ali or Babe Ruth
@@MarlyMarlPodcast I could list others that were as good if not better than even those guys but Jordan was in a class to his own.
@@MarlyMarlPodcast yeah those 3 par with each other
@@MarlyMarlPodcastbabe ruth hit long home runs, he was NOT great athletically.
@@EricA-kl7by lol, name them then. 🤔
Jordan was the goat 🐐 no debate, only player too play in 3 generations! The 80’s 90’s & 2000’s ( 39-41 for the Washington wizards and still was a top 5-10 player AT THE AGE OF 40!!! )
Was.
Was. 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s for Lebron..
Also Vince Carter. 90s, 00s, and 10s
Tim Duncan and Dirk did it too...
And still is the goat 🐐! People talking he took 18 months off! Yeah he did!! But lebron took 4 years off college, and they talking longevity. He was playing baseball and in baseball you practice too! I assume!?
@14:31...and that tells you MJ's mindset. I have been telling people for the longest that he would rather have less points and "win" than more points (or stats) and "lose". I would have loved to have seen the 90's Bulls against this same Celtics team.
Great job editing the different clips! My only suggestion to less music during the interview portions
' Arguably the GOAT ' ?, no argument, anyone that knows the game knows he's the GOAT, great clip and we'll put together, nice work.
Thanks!
hell yeah 👍👍
Anyone who knows basketball knows that Wilt will always be the GOAT. No one else is even in the conversation.
@@jrr3787 in your opinion yeah why not . I respect that.
Not just my opinion. It's objectively true. Numbers don't lie. @@SakLap_Tv_Vlog
This series of videos is brilliant well done
Thanks!
I remember several people saying he was just a shot in the pants back then, he proved them all wrong for sure! That was during the time that the NBA was truly great.
I watched that game in 86 Jordan took his team to overtime i was rooting for the bulls it was a amazing game
1. MJ didn't need 3s to score like this bc the AND1 was his 3.
2. How many players u know ever got Player of the Game b2b while losing both games?!
🐐
Larry Bird himself said “that’s not MichaelJordan,that’s god disguised as Michael Jordan” after MJ’s 104th career game after coming off a 64 game absence with a broken foot.
Nick Wright characterizes that series as ‘mike couldn’t beat larry bird’. Lmao.😁
Nick always Wrong biggest Labronda nut hugger ever
Kyle Macey was coach at Morehead St back in the late 90s early 2000s. He had a camp every summer. He told the story tht him and MJ combined for for 70 pts. Pretty funny to hear him tell it.
That game right there, made him the goat, not because he realized how good he was, he realized I need a team around me.! Facts. That's when he needed everyone around him to be the best they can be. The Celtics taught him that, it's not about one guy, it's about a team
Ok.....if someone named Larry LEGEND says you're God disguised as Jordan.
Case closed.
God hates basketball.
There should be a book of Larry Bird quotes because this dude kept it super 💯. He never catered to his stans in Boston he always spoke HIS mind not what his fans wanted to her him say. He once said if a white guy guards him he feels disrespected, and that's just one of his quotes. 🤷🏽♂️
Great video! Loving the MJ series!
Glad you like them!
I lived in Aurora, thirty miles west of Chicago and got to the city often. Before Jordan I could get tickets to ANY game, good seats mostly, and balcony seats were always available. I saw Mike play several times in his first two and a half seasons but, by the middle of his third year the Stadium was full all the time and tickets were scarce or impossible. There has never been a better player or one more important to his team, his city, or the league than Jordan. He changed the game and took Dr. J's game to new heights. The League has expanded and flourished because of Michael Jordan. All of today's players owe him a debt. There is NO player in the league as good as Michael Jordan was. There may never be.
I agree
Tho Espn try to always campaign a player to compare to mj.
But there will always be just 1
Thanks for another great video!
You know how you know Jordan is just the best of all time!? You’ll never see 100s of videos of a player with just 10 other players talking about how amazing he is!! There’s so many videos like this of just one game interviews!! It’s actually insane
Many stories lol. I like the memphis grizzlies story from 96 😂😂
He was has having a bad game and some decided to trash talk him. The outcome didnt end well. Its on youtube
@@TEDSHOTTHAT when you watch the last dance throughout the entire series he says that’s all i needed to hear. Once you made him mad, or said something stupid, he would just end your life lol
@@damien1869 facts lol
Wow to drop 63 points at that time on the Celtics jeez that's a real GOAT
N still a Record.
GM: "We're going to put you under load management."
MJ: "I took that personally."
Kawhi: "Hmm.. I like that."
No One Can Do It Better
Love this Jordan series!
I'm very glad!
What an incredible edit!
Wow! You are as talented as it gets.
Appreciate that
There’s certain iconic moments and clips in basketball and for me one of the best ever is when Jordan goes through his legs hops to the side for the jumper over bird..dam that cat could move
One word GOAT 🐐 #23 Jordan. 🛑 The senseless debating.!! During that 3 peat. And 2nd 3 peat. I was so proud to be a bulls fan. I kept a fresh pair of Jordan’s 👟.!!!
He played 15 years and scored almost 32,000 points ,retired twice that makes 13 years ,so imagine how many points he would've score if he played 20 seasons like LeBron James ,at 40 he avg 21.2 points per game with the wizards ,that's insane so he was supposed to shatter every record ,but he really wanted to surpass magic and bird ,that were from his era and retired in peace knowing he eclipsed the 2 best players of his era ,but against Kobe and LeBron Michael would've go to a new level ,when u challenge Michael he bring a level you've never seen before ,and people forget that ,he played passive until u challenge him ,that's why people consider him the greatest to ever do it
After he scored 49 the whole Celtics team were telling each other "he ain't gonna do that to us again" lol
Crazy thing is it was Jordan v a proper Super Team and he was sooo close to actually beating them, aaand this was basically an extension of his rookie season because he’d been out all year, aaand he sank his two free throws at the end of regulation… if it were todays rules he’d have sank one more (because it was a three attempt) and won the game. Imagine if he’d had the luxury of joining a team that already had a bunch of great players like Magic & Bird did.
And that wasn't a moneyball superteam like they have today
@@Jay-uq5bf The Lakers and the Celtics in the 80’s were the power-house teams. We all know this… And they would both smash the crap out of any team along with Jordan’s Bulls… I’m still trying to think which team would come close?… 🤔 The Warriors possibly, but how?… 😆
@@stevegriffey8255 well, for the warriors in 2017, if They then drafted LeBron after LeBron has actually gone to college, that would be the equivalent of the Lakers drafting Magic. Or if LeBron's heat team drafted KD straight out of college, that would be the Celtics and Bird
@@johnnewsham5193 Yes it was rather dubious, some would say cheating that those teams acquired those players. I guess we wouldn’t want it any other way though… Lakers v Celtics, Magic v Bird.

MJ always and forever GOAT......
That move in the gym on his come back was just unreal
Bostons home record 1986=40-1 Larry Bird, was MVP.
I remember actually watchign that game. I didn't have cable back then. The game was on blackout in detroit. But a friend of a friend, was watching the game. OMG. We had missed the entire season, as Mike was out. MIND YOU, I was in Highschool at the time.
JORDAN Popped 63, over the Boston Celtics.. In which Boston had the best record in the League. And also BOSTON went on to be the World Champions, that YEAR. So the GOAT put up 63 against the World Champs. Same year, Larry Bird was MVP. Things, people forget when Jordan went off for 63.. WHO was he playing, and What team. And winning in BOSTON.. Which was extremely difficult that year.
Nobody ever talks about how the game before this in Boston... Jordan had a cooool 49 points
What they never talk about is game three in Chicago when Jordan finished with 19 points, and fouled out when the Celtics attacked him when he was playing defense.
@@joncondrey6617probably his lowest playoff scoring game ever
@@joncondrey6617he also had 10 rebounds 9 assists and 2 steals and a block that game but I knew you would leave that part out
Mike said he was aging 5 on 5. Those days Mike was playing 1 on 5 taking everyone to the hole. These days he was impossible to guard
Thank you for this wonderful series. You're greatly appreciated 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Glad you enjoy it!
As a Celtics fan even though we won the 63 point performance……..after the game I looked at my brother and said “uh oh, think we and the rest of the NBA are gonna have our hands full. This guy is beyond awesome “
whats clear to me after watching is mj played for the respect of the greatness that is Larry Legend.. thank you for this insight
2023 should be known as the year of jordan
Everyone was in awe of his game, skill, athleticism, and non-stop attack on both ends, but his whole game was so fundamentally sound & airtight in those fundamental...crazy! Nothing works without footwork, handles, vision, IQ, body control, and DAWG. This dude literally put it all together on every level, and had the physics gifts to execute at will and still step up when needed...4 quarters per game for 82 games per season & he never cheated the fans by cheating the game. Everyone talks about his poor 3pt shot, but his career average on far fewer attempts is league average today!😂🤣😂🤣😂
I think Vernon Maxwell said it best, "Mike ain't stopping on either end. You know He's attacking you and your team all night long."🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just think if MJ was a great 3 point shooter he wuld've averaged 40+ a game shooting the 3 was his only flaw in his early yrs
I’m so happy I was alive when Jordan played. I remember watching the ACC Championship game and seeing this guy doing things with a basketball I’d seen. I’ve been a fan since. My 27 year old daughter is named after him.
Basketball God = MJ 🐐
People talk like Mike's mid-range game was later in his career.
Nah, that was pretty much throughout his entire career. It just got better, and better, and better...
Im glad he pointed out people misunderstood mj's attitude. He brings people up, even to ones playing against him. And they repected him for earning it.
The nba now will never understand that and the competitiveness r gone along with it. Well there's some of it but its far from what it used to or coulda been.
Lerry Bird challenge 63 Points Michael Jordan 1986 Playeroff goat 🐐 🙌 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Pretty awesome watching this well put together clip about NBA greats talking about these awesome stories. Nothing but respect for your hard work sir😁👍👍
You know you're in trouble when Jordan says "You're pissing me off, man."
Great job Nick!…. keep ‘em coming.
Thanks, will do!
The "arguably" thing makes me laugh. You listen to some of the greatest players from the greatest teams talk about this guy in awe, and then look at the stats. A stats-alone analysis allows LeBron to be in the conversation, but the eyeball test just puts that away. A point made at the end is one of the keys for me: Jordan never gave up in a game. LeBron...
That part...yes I couldn't help but think of lebron at that point and think we'll that's the opposite of lebron who gives up when the going gets tough.
Advanced stats do the eye test justice.
Stats alone, he isn't even in the same league as Wilt.
@@jrr3787 LoL - I'm not saying Wilt isn't an All-time great, but stats were a little easier to come by in that era.
How do you figure? The game was much harder then. They've changed the rules many times to make it easier to score. @@e24mpwr
MJ > Bird > all
63 points inside the paint is a God mode.
15:02 Larry Bird "God disguised as Michael Jordan"
It you get that sort of compliment from a genius like Bird, it doesn't get any better than that
MJ obviously Greatest of all time for ever
Great video !!!! You did a great job watched it twice
Wow, thanks!
That statement given to the press made everyone happy.
The media, as Larry Legend didn't spend easily any compliment to opponents, let alone comparin one of them to God. The fans and the NBA board, who were all thirsty looking forward for MJ's inevitable rise and dominance.
And Bird himself who while feeding the media with some stuff they never even hoped to hear from such a living and respected institution in the world of basketball stated indirectly that not even God in disguise was good enough to stop him and the Celtics. Genius.
“That was God disguise as Michael Jordan” - Larry Bird
Great stuff Nick just a awesome video I love all of them long live MJ23 ❤️
Was 12 n 86 can remember watching Mike hit 63 in the Garden being from Detroit we hated Bird and Boston ... seeing Jordan in his rookie year was remarkable 💯
Then kids who love to listen to Nick Wright claiming "MJ is 1-9"
Kids MJ is 0-3 in the first round.
MJ is 6-0 in the Finals not 24-11
He had tenacity you dont see from lebron. Kobe has been the closest
Cry ab it
Today's fans will say it took Jordan overtime to hit 63, while superstars today could hit 60 easily. What they don't realized, the Celtics in the 80s were one of the greatest team ever. They might not have been as athletic as today's stars but they play fundamentally sound basketball and Bird is one of the most clutch player ever. MJ took 0 3 pointers in this game. Meanwhile today's stars need to hit a lot of 3s to even get 60. MJ wasn't even expected to be back after breaking his foot at the beginning of the season. Despite how easy today's players score 60 in a game, This record still stand. This was 2nd year Mike as well without a legit star next to him. People use this series against him as if he's not great, him getting swept by this Boston team back to back is equivalent to Lebron on the Cavs getting swept by the Warriors and Spurs (I believe he's one of the only great players to get swept by a great team). Let's face it the eastern conference in the 80s-90s was tougher, while in the 00 the east was weak.
It was plenty of athletic players in the 80s and 90s maybe even more than today, the only thing different today players have is 3 point shooting because that's what the game is but they had plenty of great shooters that could shoot the 3 too, 80s and 90s was more fundamentally than today's players
@@eazymoneymane7789 And they could bring u in the post and abuse u all day lol nowadays ders no big boi basketball being played it's just a 3pt shooting contest
Mike would average 40 in today game and is a fact
@@sonnyallagonez5776 imagine Mike in todays game?!!! If harden putting 37 ppg Mike would put 40 or 45 ppg he adapts easily too n the defense he plays oof.
@@cheymilion3168 Mike would be dunking all day! And 1"s galore LOL
Great video!! There are so many different superlatives to describe MJ but the one that sticks out to me is how everyone said he treats practices!!!
When everyone is going half or 3/4 speed, Mike is playing in practice like it’s his last day on earth!
And consequently Oakley or Bird said “I’ve never EVER seen Michael quit!!!”
How the hell can u have an all time athlete mixed with insane talent, and unmatched work ethic??!!
G O A T!!!
Right and they compare the flop king to him...blasphemy.
great research putting this together
Thanks
Love this page. Nice work.
Poor Danny Ainge. Jordan Smoked him in Boston, Smoked him in Portland, and smoked him in Phoenix hahaha
Nobody feared a pass first guy player but alot are terrified of a ruthless scorer.
Bro MJ played the 2 guard thats his job lol. His position is to play good defense and score first. Wilt had to be the best defender, rebounder, passer, etc for his teams and still be the best scorer on the team. Teams werent afraid of 1 man cause he cant beat a whole team. What ppl were afraid of was the fact that the Bulls could play defense and get stops with or without MJ on the floor, he was an over the top piece to a team that was already contending. You want Mike to try and score everything when your team is better than his, thats what Bird Celtics gameplan was. They swept him even 63 pts. Its when his team is getting stops that he is scary. 96 Bulls would honestly get fucked up by 86 Celtics ngl. And a man named Len Bias would have gotten Bird 6 rings before 1990 if he didnt OD
@@lotuslife3239 bruh without them I dont think we would be talking about the Bulls or Celtics or Lakers. They were the 'factor'
Wilt dominated an era of midgets and still losses to a small role player named Bill. So nobody really feared him. He feared the Celtics.
Bird swept MJ and his Bulls, true. Did you bother checking his individual numbers and his team mates? He had NO HELP. Check the box score too. Its not as if they were washed by 30 or something. There were close games and the bottom feeder Bulls wiped them with 20 pts in the regular season. Imagine that Larry and his star studded team got washed by a bottom feeder team
@@halfshot253 the fact u said Bill Russell was a role player means im not even gonna argue with ur logic lmao. He was like Anthony Davis with durability. Could pass like Jokic, ran the floor better than any 6'10 player today. Bill Russell jumped over a guy in a clip i saw literally. Wilt has 2 rings because his coaches and teams sucked and the Celtics had all the money to dominate. When Wilt got good coaching he broke records. 33-0 run, blowing out contending teams like Warriors. Bird carried his team in ways Mike couldnt. And Mike did things nobody else could do. Still isnt a doubt in my mind if you got another good Forward next to those Celtics, Bird would play the 2 guard and dominate, Jordan wouldnt be able to guard Bird never was able to actually Scottie cant do it Mike forsure cant. And btw just watching highlights it was clear the league Wilt played in knew small ball was the way to win and Wilt was an outcast like Shaq. But there were other guys even taller than Wilt, 7'3 Swede Halbrook being 1. But 6'10-6'11 mobile centers have always been the way to win in a team setting, as athletic as Wilt was he let his team control the ball and he wanted to catch and score in the post like Shaq, led to his teams losing a lot cause his ball handler sucked and nobody else could score. Bill Russell grabs the rebound and runs the floor as a 6'10 point forward. Wilt never got shut down by Russell, but he was more focused on stats a lot cause he didnt have a coach like Red Aurbauch to tell him how to win, and didnt have the personnel either. He wins easy with Cousy, KC Jones, Havliceck,
@@lotuslife3239 thats story telling then sensationalized by morons such as yourself 😄 Pass like Jokic...the man was the biggest guy on the court playing against white midgets who dribble the balls in one hand 🤣 on a 14 teams league. Sit down bruh Lets not act as if the guards had nothing to do with the wins. End of the day, the one who scored more wins 😄
@@halfshot253 whatever bruh watch some film. Average height in 1960 was the same as today 6'6 difference is the players had actual jobs outside of the league because they werent treated like celebrities painting their nails and wearing stupid outfits. Bros couldnt dribble like today because of the rules, but Pistol Pete bout 10 years later putting today's ball handlers to shame at 6'5. Pistol Pete 68 pts with no 3pt line and was hitting shots from that deep. Players back then way less athletic but there were still lots of high flying players, old school rims cant take the kind of force later ones did. They banned dunking for a time when Wilt was playing. Those unathletic white midgets got more dog in them then 90% if today's "depressed" league.
Great video man!
MJ had established himself as the GOAT by the end of his 2nd year, among the greatest who had ever played. Meanwhile, 20 years into his career, Lebron and his fans are still trying to make a case.
The GOAT!!!!
Wow! God disguised in a basketball uniform! that's how a legend Larry Bird described Jordan. it only shows how amazed he was of Jordan back then.
MJ fear was getting cut in the NBA by his coach since he was cut in High School. The fear made him the best. That Celtic team was probably the best of all time.
That footage from “come fly with me” was very familiar. I think I wore that VHS tape out! Great video. Thank you!
Love the content brother. Takes me back.
2:17 this is an interview from October 5, 1984. Michael Jordan’s first professional game. An exhibition game played in front of just 2,100 fans against the Indiana Pacers, at the Peoria Civic Center in Peoria, Illinois. I know this because the arena is still there and looks mostly the same.
Some “Come Fly With Me” clips in there… instant nostalgia.
Great video man! These are an awesome group of videos.
Glad you like them!
