      They missed the best part..before the Olympics took place the US Olympic team went up against NBA All-Star team that included Magic Bird and Isah... and the Olympic team (all college kids including Jordan) WON ALL 8 GAMES by a significant margin including an embarrassing 128-106... Bobby Knight said those words before Jordan made even a single dribble in the NBA... and the fact that Jordan was that good before his NBA career shows why he was able to dominate the NBA for his whole career and become the undisputed GOAT of all sports

Then called him an A-Hole and a sore loser to the entire world on the most watched sports documentary during lockdown. Poor Isiah.

Michael wanted to sign with Adidas and he was rejected. Phil Knight came in and offered 5% ownership which he still gets today. Her
      HSBC education paid off. So proud of Mrs Jordan. Mŕ.Jordan was a laborer. MJ came from a 2 parent working income. Plus a lot of love. Church on Sunday. Very proud. ❤

    Look at his Tex Winter line about no I in team... or when Jerry Reinsdorf brought up the 10 pills for a headache with one being laced with cyanide.

      Even though MJ got the best of him, he was reportedly pissed that a rookie stepped to him like that. The next game he harassed Payton so much, his coach benched him after the first half.

    I was fortunate to know Coach and play some golf with him. Part of our golf led to conversations about the '84 Olympic Team. When I asked him why Charles Barkley didn't make the team he said it was simple. We asked him to lose 9 pounds and he gained 11. As for John Stockton, he said he simply couldn't put the ball in the basket. His shooting wasn't good enough at that point in his career. But the best comment was when I asked him who was the best basketball player he ever coached he looked at me with a grin and stated Michael Jordan and it wasn't even close!

    Charles Barkley was one of the greatest basketball players ever and someone who I really admire. He should have been on the 84 team. Bobby Knight was a crazy hardass, but he knew basketball inside and out.
    Jordan impressed these two guys during the 1984 Olympics to an insane degree. Knight said MJ was the best player he'd ever seen before he had ever played in an NBA game. Charles, of course, recognized that he'd have to compete with MJ and could tell immediately that that task would not be easy.
    The 1993 finals were awesome, with both MJ and Barkley playing phenomenal basketball.

      Coach Knight had a task to do- make sure the USA wins the gold. So what if Barkley was more talented than 1/2 the guys on the squad? To play for any great coach, one has to pull their heads from their but and actually listen to sound reason. Barkley didn't want to hear anything Knight was saying, so he rightfully was cut. The decision reflects poorly on Barkley- not Coach Knight, and it really should be no surprise that a hard head like Barkley never won a single ring in all his years in the league, in spite of the great support he had surrounding him. Being a great baller is more than just being big and looking hard after a dunk, lol.

    Great video. Bobby Knight is a legend. The stories are just amazing. Miss those days. Seeing jordan so young then fast forward to him retiring from the bulls , then came back with washington and then left for good. I just watched Jordan's first game against the lakers (18 games into his rookie season) We were just finding out about jordan and i was a lakers fan being in So Cal. Cooper was my favorite but really like the whole team. Mostly when i see them its like it wasnt that long ago and how i picture them and seeing them now it makes me sad but blessed was lived during that time. From julius, magic, kareem, bird, jordan all of them. Got to see them all live in person. I don't watch the current generation of the nba its just not the same. I have my memories though.

    Hearing Jordan talk about the honor of playing for his country in the Olympics as being one of the "proudest moments of his life", compared with Lebron James this week not bothering to get up and stand for the anthem at his son Bronny's first game, reminded me why Jordan's greatness was so much easier to celebrate.

James Worthy, who was a Junior said that he was the best player on the team for about three weeks until that freakish Freshman to the throne. Bird, Magic, Drexler, McHale and a whole lot of future hall-of-famers saw Black Jesus when they played exhibition games against MJ's amateur squad to get them ready for 84 Olympics.
      A bust with no jumper is reason he dropped to #3? You're as delusional as Manson's whole family on acid trips. Back in 80s it was a big man's league. Hence why The Dream went numero uno. And since Bowie was not only a wildcat from Kentucky but a 7 footer and Drexler, who's a shooting-guard like Mike, was already blazin' trails in Portland, MJ was drafted third.

      He has no one to blame other than himself. In 1993 he wasn't going to beat MJ and Chicago, but losing to Houston in 1994 and 1995 were big choke jobs by Barkley and Phoenix. Phoenix was up 2-0 in 1994, proceed to lose games 3 and 4 in Phoenix, and eventually the series in 7 games. In 1995, Phoenix was up 3-1 and again lost in 7 games, including game 7 at home. The irony is that if Phoenix had made the Finals in 1994 or 1995, Chuck would have avoided MJ altogether because Jordan was retired in 1994, and wasn't quite back to full form after his return in March of 1995.

      Just because you're college player of the year doesn't mean other great players agree with the vote. They still think they are the best and the voters are wrong. It's a vote. There have been College players of the year who didn't do squat in the NBA. They never played against each other and nor met until that tryout. The didn't have AAU and traveling teams where everybody meet in camps an play and become buddies. Someone might invite you to a camp here or there but it wasn't like now. Barkley got educated on who was the best when they actually met. Same with Bird. Magic heard about him seen him on TV. It was different when he played with him one time at a camp.
