KG is a boss and knows what he is talking about. Who is he? A fan or something?
Its crazy how future generations won't understand how unstoppable and great Michael Jordan was.
lol fam you are the future generation
he legit could have won 8 in a row had he not retired, those kobe and LeBron comparisons would have been irrelevant.
Factual bro
@Wane Gates Jordan is better than hakeem, prime Jordan stomps those rocket teams, they only won when he left, and when he returned he three peated, even tho he was rusty.
@@yobro6053 doubt it. I dont think they had the front court depth to beat Houston. Hakeem wouldve feasted on them without a rough bigman down low for Chicago. Cause Horace had left already as dy and rodman was still in san Antonio. Doesnt matter if Jordan was there for bot, Chicago always had trouble with hakeem in the reg season. And that's if they even got past Ewing in Ny or shaq in Orlando.
"I can't even really describe the next 6 to 7 minutes yall "
😂😂🤣🤣😭😭☠☠🔥🔥
Then he proceeds to describe the next 6 to 7 minutes
There’s so much PTSD in that statement and in his face.
@@CustomizedUsername Keyword is "really"
@@ChrisDodges123 he “really” did explain it is the point. With emphasis and detail which is how he meant it. It was funny was my point.
"We down 25 now, it was just at 2" "IT GOT BAD QUICK YO!"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 KG's story-telling is hilarious! Watched this video at least 10 times and it still cracks me up!
One of the funniest stories about MJ. The way KG delivered it is just hilarious. MJ though, man was a real alpha.
💯. Way better than the way JR told the same story.😂😂😂😂😂😂. Especially the part where they came to the bench.
FRANCIS NYUYDZEFON he’s a great storyteller! Period
Beth Loggins , Magic Johnson story of MJ is also top, they are great storytellers
@@ralphsantaana7303 Ahh true. Always a fun time when Magic tells it.
KGs story about Rodman was hilarious too
Every mj story the same, guy hits a couple buckets, starts feelin himself a bit, mj takes notice and busts his ass with no mercy. Mj got everybodys best game and he WAS mj every game, he never took a night off.
Im your farmer defo took those nights of when he went 1-9 in the playoffs and when Detroit kept clamping his egg head in the playoffs
SamYG Damn no context either that’s how y’all jordan Haters roll
SamYG egg head 😂😂😂😂. I’m rolling 😂😂😂
@@Sam-oe4dt you must have been born in the late 90s
@SamYG This must be a isaiah thomas burner acc. The 1-9 youre referring to ('85) 1-3 to mil ('86) 0-3 to bos and ('87) 0-3 to bos he averaged 35.5pts 6.7reb 6.5ast 2.2stl in those 10 games...those celtics one of the greatest teams and with Bird, Parish and Machale the best front court ever. In the '86 series Bird called him god dressed like mj and Bird wasnt known for his kind words. As far as Pistons...lets give that team some love...undertated...beat that great celtic team...beat showtime lakers...beat a great portland team and was mj greatest hurdle...The Jordan Rules was a real thing. Force mj to the middle, colapse and foul hard...in '89 series mj avg over 13 ft att per game and det avg 25 fouls per game keep in mind it was a half court game then with much fewer possesions det was fouling off ball forcing guys like grant and cartwright to hit free throws. They would trap with 2time dpoy 6'9 dennis rodman and made it tough for mj to drive and when he did the bigs were waitng in the paint ready to leave thier man and foul. ('88) det 27.4ppg 8.8reb 4.6ast 2stl...('89) det 29.6ppg 5.5reb 6.5ast 2stl....ffwd to '90 mj brought that D and bulls matched pistons def toughness everybody knows how the story goes from there. Start of 1st 3peat. I think all the bad boy piston d talk motivated mj to be the best backcourt defender in his gen, and cetainly forged him for those battles against knicks in years to come. Ill await your rebuttal but i wont hold my breath,
Calling out the devil is one thing, facing him, is another... -Kendall Gill
Love that quote
Damnnnnnn he said that / About Mike
@@cdplaya1973 😂👍
Like a demon
Ugh, Kendall would get murdered by MJ when he was with the Nets. ugh.
Players respect Lebron’s game. Players feared Kobe. Players were just straight terrified of Michael. Like don’t make eye contact terror. That’s just crazy. Every story.
Zarias I still say Kobe and Jordan aren’t too far off from each other, players were terrified because there hadn’t been a player like that before, Kobe was the same way. Mike could never get in Kobe’s head lol, they were cut from the same cloth
The 80s Celtics sure as hell were not afraid of Jordan or anyone for that matter but certainly respected him
Leo Derosia or the bad boy pistons
After having watched both of their careers, mike is a universal bball player.
He played dfense as ferocious as he scored.
He also made players around him better in his later yrs more then kobe.
This is why i will always call magic johnson the best laker all time.
Kobe will always be the most dominant laker.
Magic made huge contracts for his teammates and he dominated.
Nothing against kobe....big kobe fan as well!
But, i have to call it as i watched all of their careers.
Zarias I agree he was like the grim reaper of basketball...f*ck that sh*t!!!
And Jordan didn't forget, way later when Jordan came back and played as an old man for the Wizards on his farewell tour. There is one game, where he just put it on Garnett, just time and time again, in his face deliberately showing him he still could do it. It's incredible to me, because that Jordan was old and worn out, and Garnett was in his Prime, and Jordan was just torching him, and people have the nerve to say Jordan only played against little guys. Go look up Jordan scoring in Garnetts face, over, and over again. It's just incredible.
I'm about to go look for that.

@@gsosa5971 you're welcome man. I wasn't sure if it was possible to post links
Michael Jordan was so good he made grown men feel helpless and cry. It was a joke how much better he was than everyone else.
All the athleticism, and all the skills, and all the drive. Congrats Mike.
“JR my bad dog” 😂
"Never talk shit to Mike ever again in life"
Kevin Garnett 2020.
My favorite lowkey part of the story is the 10 second calls they got. Can only imagine what it was like to bring the ball up against an angry MJ/Pippen. They were a pair of pit bulls
FACTS
Facts
@Ulysses432 Facts! Scottie went off on Toni Kukoc when he played on the Dream Team.
@siegle422006 Johnny Bach.
Johnny Bach didn't call them the Dobermans for nothing
HE is a great story teller! We need this even more now that KOBE is gone!
Indeed. I love the one that Kendrick Perkins told about Kobe, where Kobe was torching him. Kobe told Kendrick "You better watch out, or I'll tear that other Achilles!" 🤣
Man... Happy Birthday to Kobe!!! We definitely need more of this cuz the loss of Kobe, Gigi, and everyone else that was on that helicopter is still fresh! MAMBAFOREVER!
It's crazy how one person can be that good at something that they can turn on a switch to reach a different level and JR rider was a really good player too. What's even more crazy is that a lot of players have that same type of story of their own about Mike. It's like they tried to stay out of his way and not make him mad or anything. He really put fear in other grown ass talented pro basketball hall of famers
What's funny is... these aren't just your normal every day players at the yard... they're NBA players, the best in the world. And MJ plays with em how a cat plays with a mouse, and when he's done playin...
It's lights out.
More like respect. Not fear.
@@lopitopito1394 more like both
Lol, you're right, and once more too, even if they stayed out of his way. He'd wipe the floors with everyone in a bloodbath.
Yeah its kind of scary MJ could do something like that. Reminds me Goku going super saiyan. Oh you thought I was done? Let me take it up a notch for you. I swear MJ is untouchable.
Every stories like that about MJ have the same ending, they learned the hard way that you do not disrespect the G.O.A.T and get away with it😆
To add too your comment, people also forgot that when MJ came back with the wizards he destroyed some of the young stars of that time...
@@michaelsantiago8161 True, and he was way passed his prime
Mj ain't the goat
@@scoringmachine4694 Well, I think he is, but to each their own opinion
@@wesmyone9562 I agree!
"never ever talked shit ever again to Mike" 😂😂😂😂😂
IN LIFE
This was of the funniest interviews ever man. 😂😂😂😂😂
tommyarchie I swear bro
This generation won't understand why M.J is the goat until ESPN drops the Bulls Documentary this summer #trustme
🔥🔥🔥
Oh ppl understand it but it’s just ppl think he never could get dethroned n I’ll just leave it at that
I can't wait!!
lebron would be shaken if mj prime mj stand on same court as him. you think the mavs series was bad. lebron might call out sick beofre game starts
Can’t wait, son!
Gotta love KG for that tough. Just going at MJ like that. MJ bullied them that game, but Im sure he respected KGs attitude. KG didn't follow the 'rules', how he played PF was 10 years ahead of the league
Facts! I remember seeing KG play point guard in a playoff series. Back then that was unheard of for a PF to run the point, especially in the playoffs.
kinda like MJ was 10yrs ahead of the league at guard the only guards similar in skill and height were clyde hill and penny but penny and hill always hurt that's why he made it look so easy I wish all 4 of them played after the 2000s woulda been great to see
@@P-DAPS Glad someone else remembers the Wolves vs. Kings series where KG had to play point guard coz they lost Sam Cassell to an injury.
@@P-DAPS Bird could do it - and sorta DID do it more than a few times.
KG didn't invent the "point forward" concept, though he could be a good one at it.
Brice Fleckenstein Bird & Pippen were both point forwards, but they were both traditional 3s. KG was the first traditional 4 I can remember playing point
February 27, 1996. Jordan had 35 for the game. Bulls won by 20 and their record was 50-6 lol.
That is my 10th Birthday
MJ scored so quickly it felt like 40 to Garnett. That’s killer Mike aka MJ!
Yeah, I was at that game and remember it pretty well. KG actually had a good game, especially for a rookie. Rodman had one of those crazy 25 board games too. But yeah, it was close for a long time but then the Bulls just smashed them in the 4th.
Thanks! Now I need a link to that game footage!
"ok o
Some of the most competitive and alpha-minded men in the world and they were all openly shook about playing MJ. Legend
With a few exceptions.
James Worthy for one has said he would rather guard MJ than Larry Bird (with an interesting explanation of WHY following the base statement).
@@bricefleckenstein9666 Doesn't matter who he said he would rather guard, he ain't stopping MJ. Neither is Bird 1on1 .
@@Wis_Dom I wasn't talking about Bird defending MJ.
And James had a lot more experience guarding BOTH of them than you or I have - I'll take HIS word over yours.
@@bricefleckenstein9666 Doesn't make sense. What word did i make?
@@Wis_Dom James was talking about defending Bird.
Nobody was talking about Bird defense.
Like people dont even understand. If you make it to the league at a skilled position, you're one of the elite IN THE WORLD. So to be completely humbled by another players greatness says alot.
AboutMillions facts
I really like the way you explain that😁👍
All the positions are skilled
@@drewjitsu Not in this era, Aside from the all stars you had centers that were literally in the league only because they were tall.
@@aboutmillions you still have that in this era as well. You think Zaza Pachulia and them are skilled? Most them centers back then could ball tho
This by far has to be one of their best interviews. The pure energy KG was speaking with could really be felt.
also cocaine maybe haha
@@franciscorevuelta491 KG has always had insane energy. Doc Rivers was talking about it on Bill Simmon's podcast, saying how he'd refuse to sit out during practice when it wasn't his turn anymore, and when Doc finally talked him into coming off the court KG kept running up and down the sidelines anyways, mimicking the player who subbed in for him.
I’m crying! 😭. Respect to KG for keeping it real on this one. Lmao!
“Next thing you know we over there like this” 😭😭😭😭
Im sorry jr😂😂😂
THE funniest MJ story hands down. Probably the best basketball story ever. Hilarious!!
KG had to experience it first hand how serious MJ is when he gets trashtalked.
Even Isaiah Rider who was a young gun in those days know not to get MJ riled up.
It doesn't take much to trigger MJ's lethal competetive mode on.
Love how KG doesn't sugarcoat the story and tells it like how it all came down for real.
In 7 minutes the lead went from 2 to 25 with two ten second calls🤣🤣
Some people have no idea just how good Michael Jordan was.
I'm dying laughing 🤣🤣🤣.
MJ: y'all done
This has got to be one of the greatest NBA stories ever 😂😂
At 2:47 the look in KG’s eyes when re-telling what happened!! Its like he is reliving the pain of that experience!! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
You right I looked and that's pain in his eyes
and at 3:22 pure terror
The GOAT is seriously a mythical creature at this point. Everyone in the NBA has a story about how he destroyed them.
.......all out of breath saying "yo man, I'm sorry man....!!!" to JR Rider!! That moment really captured the essence of what MJ did to them young boys!! I can truly visualize that happening. Great story.....even better than Jr's version!😁😂😁😂
Isaiah Rider: (also out of breath) that's why I told you to shut your ass up...🥵🥵🥵
I think I have watched this 50 times..🤣🤣
"Mike had 18 now he got like 40."
I always knew Rider’s version of the story, never heard KG’s side of it till now. This is gold.
KGs intensity in his storytelling is like when he was on the court. Super intense. Can’t wait for his documentary on show time to come out.
Every MJ story I've ever heard is somebody talkin ish and MJ bustin somebody a$$ every time!
MJ being able to step his game up on the spot gives you an idea how much he was managing himself and holding back to be able to last all those 82 regular season games and then the playoffs, and today, with the joke of the defense they have now, they're sitting out games to rest and whatnot, and that one guy even saying he is the greatest of all time...
@@dsfs17987 Facts brotha!
@@dsfs17987 Nothing but facts Magic made it clear MJ at 100% was when he played scrimmages
So what that tells u
MJ has to love these stories
Who's here after watching the first 6 parts of the documentary?? Shits wild Jordan should never be compared to anybody ever again he will always be in a class of his own. ALWAYS
I have to be 100% honest, I'm not the biggest KG fan. But the end of this story, the way he tells it. One of the funniest stories i've ever heard, and right near the top of my FAV MJ stories. Props to KG that was crazy funny.
They don't talk about other players like this... one of a kind.
He also doesn't need to insecurely call himself the GOAT, because everybody else does it for him...
Exactly! He's the real deal!
On the contrary, Jordan is very insecure about his greatness as basketball player. He may not walk around telling people that he's the GOAT, but once someone saying that he isn't, he'll put their name in his blackbook.
Not everyone - starting with WILT (who told MJ to his face why MJ wasn't the greatest at the 50 Year Team event - and MJ was SILENT in reply).
@@bricefleckenstein9666 Wilt's opinion don't matter anyway. 71% of NBA players vote MJ as the greatest!
@@tonym3659 If Wilt's opinion doesn't matter, than the opinion of most of those "71%" also don't matter.
This is one of the greatest stories ever told
Kg part when he said jr aye my bad man had me crying, jr was like it’s cool but I told you shut yo ass up lmaoo😂
Def one of my favorite parts of the podcast. No lie KG got a talent for comedy. He can def do a stand up set.
MJ was like Tyson to his opponents. To be a kid growing up in the 90's in the Chi was a wonderful feeling!
Damn.. young fella you done? Damn ok damn.. hahahahah
I think it’s just crazy how players, when playing Jordan, didn’t even want to talk to him. That’s respect and fear all at once. Nobody fears lebum.
cause lebum doesnt have that trash talk mentality, jordan ate that for lunch and save it for dinner.
Not only that, but they would ask for his shoes IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GAME
“It got bad quick yo”😂😂
I love this story so much, I come back to it often. Michael's reign was the best time in basketball and sports to me. I still love basketball, but when he played it was much bigger than basketball.
My favorite player was Shawn kemp. My favorite team was the sonics. That said I had the shoes and I didn't miss a bulls game on WGN. Mike was something else.
Respect to Garnett with story, Garnett is a awesome player but when he knows someone is better he is humble about it , respect
Ok young fella y’all done damnn 😂 😂😂
His description of GP was the best tho. Man had everyone on lock down XD
His nickname was 'glove'
Nick Van Exel bust his ass.
That story will never get old
Never hear stories like this about LeBron. Somewhat with Kobe, but Michael was on another level.
Kobe really had the heart. I really miss Kobe Bryant. When he retired I stopped watching the NBA. You see I rooted for a team. The team with Shaq and Kobe Robert Horry and fox. That core did together so long you could call it an actual team. It's not like many of the teams today where players come and go every couple of years. And that's why I kind of had to stop watching it. What am I is a fan actually going to be rooting for franchise merchandise? If no one's on the team more than 2 or 3 years how the hell you supposed to have something to root for? Heck there's no NBA teams anywhere near my city so it was really the guys I was rooting for
I stopped caring about basketball after Jordan stopped playing
@@anthonyarmstrong1423 yeah..me too
As a knick fan m.j was a different breed of kings
paysonfox88 I like the new NBA because teams are finally not just the same top teams stay the top. One month and the top players can move around and have a nba full of finals contender teams, while before it felt like theres no hope for the bad teams to become relevant
Dude can tell a story .. love it..
I was at this game lol. We were surrounded by all of KG’s high school teammates (and Jesse Jackson). They handed out umbrellas at the game. MJ put on a show. Classic!
Do you remember this stretch KG was talking about?
@@bigsnap5 I remember the response by MJ. When he was determined to win he had a way of turning on the jets and dominating stretches of the game that the opposition couldn’t surmount. I also recall KG putting up practice shots with neighborhood kids before the game. He was only 18!
@@kiteracer Dope I’m a child of the 90’s and I’m from NY so I’m very familiar with MJ’s prowess. I was just curious to see how your how memory lined up with KG’s.
Sounds like MJ was coasting that game until KG started talking stuff & MJ flipped the switch really quick....😆
Man this got to be one of the best MJ stories!! Much love KG!!
A 6’6 guard that even terrified centers.
The way KG told the story, i could really picture how it really goes inside the court with MJ...😂
MJ is the definition of a living legend
One of the greatest stories ever and just more proof of why MJ is the GOAT and always will be.
As a younger generation person, TRUST me, we know MJ is the GOAT. I keep hearing old people say how we think LeBron > MJ. Lol good thing about YT is, there's tons and tons of videos on him, and more than enough evidence for his greatness to shine through. He's a bona fide legend, I don't think that will ever change.
As a 42 year old, I respect your honestly.
Mj is cold bro. Lmao he dunk on shaq all day
Old people. Geez :)
I've previously heard J.R.'s version of this story, but KG's version is "The Real" of how NBA players or coaches (i.e. Jeff Van Gundy, etc.) don't want to provide the fuel/reason for M.J. to "hit da switch" and take it to another level! This is why many people (including myself) believe MJ to be the GOAT in NBA history!
The funny thing is that Rider also told the same story about Mike. Hahaha when young KG tried to trash talk Mike, and he's the one trying not to trigger the killer instinct of Jordan. But yeah, we all knew what happened that day... 😏
Every MJ story starts with: I start talking trash to Mike
Every MJ story ends with: Never talk shit to Mike
Because why? True story. For all of them
🐐 🐐mj ....this to funny dont ever disrespect the black cat 😂😂😂😂
Big Ticket just describes who MJ was in like 4:12 minutes. Incredible. I am 46 btw and saw literally all MJ games. I am a big Pacers fan btw
Too funny Kg the truth feel the heat!!!Mj bout that life!OBF
Best Mj story so far, right above Magic and Reggie
Byron Scott’s is definitely up there too
Always loved KG. Real, skilled, passionate, integrity.
I like the part where he was describing when you come back to the bench and your all huffing and puffing, because you have been on defence the hole time.
It was no secret that when Mike felt dynamic and energetic he'd wreck you at will, because it was so much speed, explosiveness, stamina, creativity and efficiency for anybody to handle and I aint talking about a single player,I'm talking about 2-3 of them combined. Mike's engine pre first retirement burned hard and long, 7 years of consistent manic destruction. When he came back, which is the time KG talks about, he didnt have that marathon sprinter engine anymore, so he was a bit more strategic and cautious with his energy. From time to time though, someone would get him all pumped up and he'd then proceed to administer a 5-7 minute ole' Mike Jordan type of stomping.
Damn! MJ sliced em up young KG & twolves mid 90's basketball hahaha!!
And that's the difference between Jordan and Kobe and everyone else.
Clearly, basketball wasn't a challenge to Jordan. His own ego was his ultimate challenger
In order to motivate himself, through a game he already mastered, he took everything personally
His own teammates in practice, coaches walking by, somebody else winning MVP, a compliment,
you're done
"I don't get 5 championships here without him" - Kobe's comment about Michael Jordan 🐐 in the Last Dance documentary
I swear this was a great interview. That Mike story is better when you hear J.R. side first. Been waiting to hear KGs version for over a year.....Lol
KG needs his own show.
If you have a dream of beating Jordan
Don't let him find out about it.
It's amazing how great a player MJ was... how he humbled such amazing players in his career...
BEST MJ story ever!!,, there is no way he can tell it this good a 2nd time ..PRICELESS!!!! LOL
"That's all I needed", MJ
MJ had two modes. One where he plays like an all time legend and the other is the unstoppable GOAT that commands respect and causes fear in his opponents.
Jordan was simply unstoppable and on a totally different level both in terms of ability but also psychologically,how he talked up situations some of which were by his own admission pure fantasy just to give him an extra edge on his opponents,combine this with his already god given talents and it's easy to see why he elevated himself to be goat,a once in a lifetime ultimate competitor! There have been many great sportsmen and women in history but none eclipse Jordan!
This is THE best MJ story. Great story telling by KG.
Thank god for WGN. They broadcasted all bulls games. Got to see alot of mike...
I got to see them all. I was in Illinois during that Bulls run. I swear MJ used to score 40 and I used to ask at the end of the game ,"when did that happen?" He used to make it look easy.
Hell yah man, we got WGN up in Canada I got to see him play all 82 games and win all six rings.
Hands down in my opinion the funniest story I've heard when it comes to ex players about MJ.
Got some smart people in the comments.
It's nice to know people understand Jordan was just different.
A 🐐 athlete with GOAT work ethic = Michael Jordan.
Crazy how good MJ was normally, and then someone disrespected him and it's like adding a nitro booster.
This is one of the best and the funniest MJ stories
Kevin Garnett is HILARIOUS!! Cannot wait for his Showtime doc!!
"And you feelin like you on DEFENSE ALL THE TIME" 😆
Jordan comes by the bench and is like, "What? Y'all done?"
KG had me cracking up! I didn't know he is such a great storyteller! This is one of the best sports short stories I've heard in ages!
After watching the Last Dance, I believe it. MJ is a true competitor
i admit, i repeatedly watching / hearing this clips over and over again
and it stills funny..man, what a story teller
