It is a shame he didnt use those fundamentals in those older years to get into the playoffs with Washington in an extremely weak East for 2 years. Also a shame LBJ has way better numbers than MJ in their "older" years, even against much better talent.

Mj is the culmination of what happens when elite athleticism meets elite skill and other worldly drive. Most people will never have any of those things let alone all 3
@@d.columbia9603 That's what I say...if you give a guy athleticism, skill, an unmatched competitive drive, hands the size of a baseball glove, speed, quickness, ability to remove weaknesses, etc into 1 player, this is what you get. Also, I've never seen a player in ANY sport consistently up their game after someone talks about them whether it's the opposing players opposing coach, media, fans, management or whoever. To me, that's movie-like.
JORDAN NEVER HAD STRENGTH WHENEVER HE PLAY 1 ON 1 VS RICHMOND AND DREXLER HE BOUNCE 15 FEET OF THEM BACKWARDS FLOPPING. THATS WHY PIPPEN GUARDED THEM JUST LIKE MAGIC 1991 AFTER GAME 1 WHEN STRONG POST UP PLAYER AVERAGE TRIPLE DOUBLE ON JORDAN
Michael Jordan...THE GOAT. There has never been a combination of athleticism, game awareness, ability, desire, drive and will. Coming from a huge Larry Bird fan.
It's crazy when you have one of the best perimeter defenders of all time in Dennis Johnson say that a 2nd year player is by far the best guard in the league smh
MJ was pure competitor, always giving 110%. Didn't matter who he was up against, he always pushed on, never gave up. Have you EVER seen MJ slacking on offense and defense? Have you ever seen MJ avoiding competition? Nope. He was the ultimate basketball dog, the alpha of the alphas.
Everybody wanted to “Be Like Mike” Nobody wants to be “Be Like Lebron” because it’s forced and artificial. Jordan was the best there ever was, and that peak happened 30 years ago. I believe the NBA was more raw back then, and the perfect timing of the perfect player cannot be replicated in the modern corporate business sport.
The deeper you dig into MJ’s career the larger the gap between him and everyone else. What he did shouldn’t have been possible. He’s the GOAT and it’s not close.
It's really not close, at all, and I grew up watching and HATING MJ, unlike so many of these glazers who LOVE AND ROOT FOR LEBRON his whole career. Biased. If anything I'm biased AGAINST Mike because I grew up a Laker die hard, but he's got an entire KD of accomplishments over any challengers!
You guys know how insecure and goofy you look adding ‘and it’s not close’ to every controversial topic right? Like Mike isn’t gonna read this. MJ stans are as obnoxious and clueless as LeBron’s fans, it’s wild out here 🤣
I've said this before - if you just watched MJ play and never looked at his stats, you'd come away saying "NOBODY plays basketball on BOTH ENDS better than this guy". The combination of skills, athleticism, freakishly large hands, endurance, competitive fire, and clutch play was just something we've never seen in any one player before nor since. MJ never needed media talking heads yelling at us about his greatness; we all saw it with our OWN EYES! Bird and Magic saw with their OWN EYES that this dude was something else. And when you go ahead and look at the stats, everything our eyes told us about this guy gets confirmed. MJ was truly "Built Different". When someone comes along at his level, nobody will need to sell it to us and try to convince us. We'll KNOW when that happens because our OWN EYES will tell us, NOT the MOUTHS of Nick Wright and Shannon Sharpe.
So true. None of today's players will ever be able to reach his success as they are entitled and require instant gratification. I can't remember who it was but a player dunked a ball during a game and Instagram'd it before the game ended
I love it. Uncut is systematically debunking all of the false narratives of Michael’s career. Most importantly using footage and actual data and stats.
He’s not …. Mj played in a weak era … he didn’t play against best teams … he was in the best team in the 90s but uncut just keep twisting it to favor mj
And I mean he didn’t win against the best teams … til when Larry and magic retired and later on Isiah… he didn’t have competition.. … he won every title with a superteam… he didn’t play against top 5 best sg … he played against Kobe cool but not Kobe’s prime … and y’all are comparing him to Simeon that played Against 3 superteams .. played against top players at the five positions and in their primes and yet y’all are d*ckriding lucky Jordan
@EzraPhil what is "WEAK" about the 80s and 90s man..im tired of yall losers disrespecting the past to try and prove a point. dont call yourself an NBA fan you clown. Back then the game was played from the inside out, the game was played different. you cant compare eras because the substance changes ever era
@@albijay5722 Oh facts. He definitely turns it over way too much. But he NEVER stops giving effort. Is he anywhere near MJ? Definitely not. But his mentality is pure Jordan. He just goes and goes and goes at the opponent.
Here's how ridiculous the Bulls front office was in 1986. They limited him to 14 minutes after he came back due to risk of injury. That minute's limit went away in the playoffs. Now, did his risk of injury suddenly go away in the playoffs? No. The front office was trying to not make the playoffs, and once they did, MJ no longer had a minute's limit.
Back in those days,teams with the record were almost guaranteed 1st,2nd or 3rd pick, Jordan was very mature to know and he called them out publicly on tv.A rookie with courage and confidence
They did same thing in 95 when Jordan came back from baseball. Originally front office told Jordan skip last 17 games in 94-95 season and play from the start of 95-96 season. But Jordan denied that offer because the Bulls were not sure whether they could make playoff or not and Jordan wanted to make playoff even though he was not ready to play with basketball shape.

@@mattmmixesJordan never called himself the goat. In fact, he said that he would never call himself the goat. Search for it. And I dont remember any of the "goats" saying that, Bird, Magic ,Kareen, Kobe...that was only done by LeBron, which speaks volumes
The East in Jordan's era was freakin loaded. Both the East and West each had like 4-5 Championship caliber teams (obviously with MJ around none of them won it all). And behold the Greatness of Jordan... he took a last placed Bulls team and turned them into a 6 Time NBA Champions... Dropping 63 on a Celtics Team that had H.O.Fers from the guards position right through to the Centre...
Jordan's East was loaded hmmm- is that why CHI was the #1 seed in the East for 5/6 years the Bulls won a title (#2 seed the other)? Since when does beating teams your roster is better than become impressive? Jordan didnt win in the 80's when the East was actually loaded. He had to wait until BOS & DET faded out due to age & Pippen grew into an All Star caliber/elite defender to actually win anything.
By 87-88 and onward, Bulls had a tying record or better against teams like Celtics and Lakers in the regular season. Took the Pistons to game 7 in 1990 (should have won the series if not for Pippens migraine game 7), and not even Lakers or Celtics could take the Pistons to game 7 around that time
@@Reaper13-hi3yo his roster was at best decent without pippen on it lmao. Your right. Jordan didn't win in the 80's when he didn't even have a half decent player and faced all time great teams in the first round. He beat detroit in 91. There is a video literally explaining how jorans team literally fell off the entire pistons vs bulls series. Then whne jordans team got better and pippen got better jordan beat them while they were still in their prime. He never beat boston because he had no help at the slightest. Please take it in context.
@@Reaper13-hi3yo lebron's team won 60 games 2x and guess what? He lost to a 2nd seed and 4th seed. Think about that 60 win teams in 2009 and 2010 but lost to a lowered seed. And don't get me started about the no help narrative bullshit the cavs supporting cast equally match against ray allen, kg, paul pierce. Lebron just choke
Something that occurred to me the other day was that a lot of LBJ fans will say " The league was weak back then, and there's was a lack of competition." Then, on the other hand, they will say "Jordan could not win anything until he had Pippen" Just think about that for a moment 🤔
@nsant2321 When they say today's league is weak, it's usually backed up by some kind of statement/example e.g, hand checking or lack of big in the paint. See when you try to deny the real goat as he is You break down the statements against, and all you find is vagueness and contradiction
@nsant2321 well that's da whole point. Da league weak and yet lebron still lose in da playoffs with his handpicked teammates. When we say da league is weak then it's no excuses for why lebron underachieved when he handpicked his teammates to help him win. For example pretty much every since lebron been with da Lakers he's had AD in his prime as a teammate and yet if it wasn't for a PLAY IN lebron wouldn't sniff da playoffs. Also lebron has had da most trades and free agency help since 2010 and he still has 6 Ls
@@nsant2321 I think you're confusing weak with soft. The league isn't weak talent wise but it's insanely soft officiating wise. The players are smart and they're abusing the system.
@@nsant2321 Yes we do, but there are reasons we say this, specifically the rule changes - "no hand checking" and "defensive 3 second" rules make scoring far easier. Luka, Jokic, and Giannis have all said it is way easier to score in the NBA than it is in the Euro League, while that certainly wasn't the case before the ill-advised rule changes. And it also seems like officials don't know what traveling, carrying, and dislodging offensive fouls are because they never call them on certain players (especially LeBron). The NBA actively dumbed down the game to increase scoring and that is why us "Old Heads" say today's game is weak. It is much harder and far more competitive basketball when you're NOT allowed to carry the ball, NOT allowed to take as many steps as you like AND switch pivot feet after picking up your dribble, NOT allowed to push off the defender, the defender IS allowed to hand check you, and the paint is ALWAYS clogged with 7-footers ready to block your shot. THIS is why we say today's game is weak. Because it is!
Kids today don't know...before Championship Jordan, he was AIR Jordan. That's where the legend began. He was electric in his youth. His shoes didn't fly off shelves for fadeaways. He was doing unbelievable aerial maneuvers.
@@bballfanKU1313-l9z Not even no one in today's game can match the hangtime or the 48inch vertical (only other player recorded as having a 48in vert was Wilt) and 4.3 speed.
Imagine if he got three free throws after being fouled on that 3 pointer like they do now instead of only two. I think he makes all three free throws and the series is tied 1-1 instead of the bulls going back to Chicago being down 2-0. I'm not saying they would have beaten that Celtics team, but things would have been very interesting.
So you can be considered the greatest without 6 rings then is what you are saying? So Jordashians have moved the goal post for MJ since the late 80's is what you are saying? Not shocked- Jordashians will go to any length to lie & spew propaganda for their manufactured goat. Atleast we know his steals numbers aren't legit. I wonder how many stats of MJ's will be debunked as time goes on.

Best scorer of all time. Best defensive guard of all time Best offensive player of all time Best or one of the best SG ball handlers and passers of all time. Best two way of all-time Nothing else left in basketball. Undebateable goat.
I find it pretty comical that people will slight Jordan for getting swept by a team with 5 hall of famers while he was still developing as a pro, while they excuse other players for getting swept by 3 to 4 hall of famers during their prime. They don't realize they're basically saying they have greater expectations for Jordan, we know why that is.
Nah its called applying Bron's expectations to Jordan. If 2018, 2015 and 2007 Bron was expected to beat the KD Warriors and PRIME Spurs surely MJ could beat Celts. Applying Bron's expectations to your fav players lets you know absurd they were for Bron.
@@andrewcook1246 At the end of the day you're still trying to equate a player with many more years if experience and development to a player early in his career which would imply that the comparison should really be Jordan early years vs lebrons prime years
@@killalotus Its the same situation regardless of age. A supremely talented player vs a way better team. Detroit won 2 rings and Celtics 3. Warriors won 4 and Spurs 5. And at 20 Bron had already won a playoff series I think.
@@andrewcook1246 But age does factor into how a player performs and I'm speaking specifically to the people that bring up the Jordan vs the 80s Celtics as if that's a black mark on his career when they, number one - it was early in his career, Jordan wasn't even the best player in that series those two years(I believe he became the best player in the world in 88/89) and number two - when other players are faced with the same situation they don't critique that player in the same way
@killalotus no one expected Bulls to beat Celtics or Cavs to beat Spurs. Yet this guy holds it against Jordan. One player played to his normal high standards and the other didn't
When was the last time in the modern era that a superstar like MJ was backed up by a player with the calibre of Sedale Threatt? Those Bulls teams were notable by how non-notable most of their players were.
The respect you must get for doing all this research and constructing it into a presentation like this needs to be IMMENSE! I have watched over 200 full Jordan games from start to finish, but I suspect your number is likely double that. Great video and great series.
Orlando Woolridge, Quintin Dailey, George Gervin, Sidney Green. All 4 top scorers for the Bulls in 1985/86 season while Jordan was out with a broken foot. ALL FOUR did not return to the Bulls the following season. Both 1985/86 AND 86/87 seasons were lost because of injuries and roster changes.
You should bring up more games like this bc I feel like so many people know this series. Even regular season games Also look how wide open the lane is now a day is bc of if the defensive 3 Sec rule Edit: let me shut my mouth bc I forgot you were doing a 12 part series 😆😬
Great video. Just one correction - before Jordan got injured the Bulls were 3-0 to start the 1985-86 season. I truly believe that had Jordan not gotten injured, the Bulls would have been a top 4 team in the east and would have made a strong playoff run.
You often see people say Jordan was a ball hog referring to his scoring. Yet in both series he led the team in assists. And 5 of the 6 games led the team in assists. Yet you will see many say he didn't pass
Jordan led the league in shot attempts 9 times, Lebron once. Jordan was a gunner especially early years which is why he never won a playoff series without Pippen on the roster
@@Reaper13-hi3yo Yes Jordan was leading the league in shot attempts, but Lebron was top 5 in shot attempts for a bulk of his career. Then add that Lebron lead his teams in 3pt attempts and FG attempts majority of his career, but people swear he's a pass first player. Im good if you want to say Jordan was ball hogging, but so was Lebron. Bron was a below avg 3pt shooter, but somehow taking the most 3pt shot attempts on his teams. Asking Jordan to take less shots before Pippen wouldn't allow those Bulls to beat the Celtics or the Bucks. lol
Also they act like Scottie was Luke and immediately came into the league a star he needed time to develop Scottie was just a role player in his rookie season.
@@mattmmixes exactly. It's not only a weak argument, it's lazy. I swear some of these young fans think LBJ is better just cuz the games are in HD and old games look old
What did LeBron do before they changed the defensive rules? Missed the playoffs for 2 seasons. 😂 Scottie wasn’t a main piece when the Bulls advanced past the 1st round in 88 or made their deep run in 89. That was prime MJ.
Whats AMAZING.. IS that his signature Dunks, of all time. All came within his first 10 NBA games in his career. The NBA mix video, is a pure chronological, in order highlights. VERY, very sweet. From first game, to his very last. HARD to top this.

I think it is way more disturbing there are dozens of Lebron hate channels like this one out there that post daily hate about Lebron, yet there isnt one MJ hate channel? Which fan base sounds more insecure to you? lmfao
The side by side comparison from 10:41 perfectly illustrates the difference in defensive intensity and strategy between today and when Jordan played. Jordan consistently had to beat 3, 4 or all five defenders to get to the basket whereas Luka only had to beat one defender at half pace. And keep in mind the comparison is from the first round of the playoffs compared to this year’s FINALS! The finals looks less intense than a preseason game from the 80s or 90s. It’s one of the reasons why the NBA is so hard to watch now
Who didn't run to their TV when the Bulls were playing? Watching Jordan was a huge thing in the late 80s and all of the 90s. Nowadays, it's Edwards, Luka and sometimes Jokic.
2:15 this is the mentality that is HIGHLY lacking from kids going into soorts today. Social media fame at a young age, entitlement ruins kids and gives them an ego over everything
No one comes close to MJ. "To compete to win, that's all I live for." Think about that statement. A lot of us live for our family or whatever. For him ITS COMPETING TO WIN is why he lives. And that goes beyond basketball. No one is like that today. He didn't play for money or stats, solely to compete to win. He had the most skill, most athletic and the best mentality, and he out worked everyone as well. He's on another level.
Every time we go over these Jordan chronologies by the time you get to 89 you're slamming your phone down screaming all right he's a superhero he's already the goat he walked in the goat
By the time you get to 89 you realize he was still a few years away from winning. It only took all the legends from the 80s to retire from old age, injuries, and hiv for MJ to dominate an expansion era with limited free agency rules.
I'm ashamed of you hoops. Resorting to fake AI generated clips? Everybody knows Zeke never has anything good to say about Mike 😂 Seriously though the TRUTH is that MJs career is not perfect but the highs far outweigh the lows. His struggles early on are used as a gotcha by his detractors but to me it helps enhance his legacy. He and the bulls are the oerfect example of the phrase "started from the bottom now we're here." Did he need Scottie to help give him a fighting chance against other teams with multiple All-Stars and HOFers? Yes. Did he need Phil Jackson to help stabalize and get the best from his teammates? Yes. Just like every top player they needed good dudes with them. But Scottie was not guaranteed to be great when ge was drafted. He had to grow. Phil Jackson on the Bulls was not Phil Jackson when he went to the Lakers. Both with Jordan grew to become the greats we know them as today. But the one think Scottie and Phil had from day one was the greatest player on the planet. Other than the 95 comeback when he didn't play enough to qualify Scotty NEVER played a year where Jordan wasn't 1st team defense. Not one when they laced up from game one. And temember that Phil was at his most successful with Jordan. He only made the Finals in Chicago when MJ was there and he never lost unlike his time with Shaq/Kobe and Kobe/Gasol. As Clayton Crowley said in his "Naking the case" video for MJ he is the Avatar of Sport and competition. He was beauty in motion and he left all he had on the court every game. His fundementals are what coaches should be teaching their players.
This is why when people said Jordan couldn’t win without Pippen, I just shake my head. They obviously have no idea what they’re talking about. He didn’t need Pippen. He needed HELP…just like every other superstars in the history of the NBA.
Lebron is not even close to this guy. Jordan was must see tv. Every single game he did something jaw dropping. He played hard defense and offense every single game. Lebron does not play defense anywhere near this guy. Lebron does not shoot freethrows nowhere near as well as Jordan. Lebron is not a closer like Jordan was either. How can you be so behind in those categories and think somehow you are greater than Jordan??
When you look at MJ as a scorer alone, as most people do, his numbers are insane and only topped by one man, a center, in Wilt Chamberlain. MJ and Wilt are the only NBA players to Hit 3000+ points. Wilt did it 3 times, MJ did it once. No one has come close to that since MJ. MJ has 6 2500+ point seasons and Wilt has 7. No one is close to averaging that as many times as these two. MJ has 10 scoring titles to Wilts 7. No other players come close. I brought that up to compliment Uncut for pointing out how dominant MJ was on defense. He was just as otherworldly on defense as he was on offense. Mark jackson and Kenny Smith admitted that teams back then would avoid running plays on the side of the floor MJ was on because of his disruptive nature defensively which led to fast break points for the Bulls. Name me another player since MJ that the “league” had to game plan for equally on both sides of the floor? The only one I can think of, though he was not as prolific on both ends on the same level, is Kobe. Kobe was the only player that came the closest to being the nightmare MJ was on both ends. Youngsters and old heads with Alzheimer’s, The more you look at or remind yourself of the “truth” about Jordan, without the lens of LeMedia lies, you will definitively know who the goat is. There really is no comparison on either end. You have to go back to Wilt or look at Kobe for a comparison, offensively and defensively. Lebron is not in the same stratosphere as Wilt, Jordan, Kobe, Bird, Magic etc. none of the generation of players after Kobe can approach those heights, especially now that the game is completely dumbed down to create artificial goats.
It's fashionable these days to downplay MJ's defense. But you could make a case (a strong case) that between 88-93 he was the strongest m defender in the league; certainly he was the best man-on perimeter defender. And for the record, Jordan did the best work against Magic in the 91 finals. The tape don't lie. Anyone who disputes this should rewatch that series.
@@AnHebrewChild agreed. The LeMedia clowns like Shannon, Wright, Arenas are complete liars. Their narratives as well as Lebrons can easily be debunked by actual footage. Same with the stuff that salty legends Like Payton, Isaiah, Sheed and Kemp talk against Jordan. Just go watch the series or specific games they lying about. Simple if someone actually wants to know the truth
These videos further solidify the universal truth that JORDAN is the 🐐 All Lebron and his minions can do is cry and whine about it, but Lebron will NEVER pass Jordan
Let's just settle it like this: Since DAY ONE of MJ's rookie debut, he took one of the worse franchises at that time in the league to the playoffs every year of his career. He was clearly the "X-Factor" each year with decent to subpar role players. MJ got them better every year from the year prior, and when they reached the mountain top, nobody beat MJ at the top of the mountain. That's greatness! Moral of the story is ANYBODY can surround themselves with "good" to great players and win, as they should, but who can say in NBA history as a rookie played for one of the worse teams in the league, and make them arguably the greatest team in sports history. That's different! Jordan set franchise records during his rookie campaign for scoring (3rd in the league) and steals (4th in the league), and led the Bulls back to the playoffs, for which he was rewarded with a berth on the All-NBA second team and NBA Rookie of the Year Award. We don't call him the "goat" because it's cute to say, he's the undisputed "goat" because he showed us that no one before him and nobody after him has done more with less in a shorter time span, at the peak he has. 🐐
Deep down LeBron fans know this. They are arguing just to be contrarians. Like you said, people knew since Jordan was a rookie. After he won dpoy and mvp all he needed to do was prove that he could win one ring. He did. He was literally going to retire after his second ring because there was absolutely nothing left to prove. No one cared about Kareem's record or how many assists and rebounds he had. All those stats are virtually meaningless. The four rings after was just icing on the cake.
Even when Michael Jordan got older and his athleticism started to decline, he used the fundamentals to beat his opponents guarding him.
What's fundamentals?
- LeDiddy
It is a shame he didnt use those fundamentals in those older years to get into the playoffs with Washington in an extremely weak East for 2 years.

It's really not close, at all, and I grew up watching and HATING MJ, unlike so many of these glazers who LOVE AND ROOT FOR LEBRON his whole career. Biased. If anything I'm biased AGAINST Mike because I grew up a Laker die hard, but he's got an entire KD of accomplishments over any challengers!
You guys know how insecure and goofy you look adding ‘and it’s not close’ to every controversial topic right? Like Mike isn’t gonna read this. MJ stans are as obnoxious and clueless as LeBron’s fans, it’s wild out here 🤣
Bro have u heard of Larry Legend?
I've said this before - if you just watched MJ play and never looked at his stats, you'd come away saying "NOBODY plays basketball on BOTH ENDS better than this guy". The combination of skills, athleticism, freakishly large hands, endurance, competitive fire, and clutch play was just something we've never seen in any one player before nor since. MJ never needed media talking heads yelling at us about his greatness; we all saw it with our OWN EYES! Bird and Magic saw with their OWN EYES that this dude was something else.
And when you go ahead and look at the stats, everything our eyes told us about this guy gets confirmed. MJ was truly "Built Different". When someone comes along at his level, nobody will need to sell it to us and try to convince us. We'll KNOW when that happens because our OWN EYES will tell us, NOT the MOUTHS of Nick Wright and Shannon Sharpe.
So true. None of today's players will ever be able to reach his success as they are entitled and require instant gratification. I can't remember who it was but a player dunked a ball during a game and Instagram'd it before the game ended
Not only did the Celtics go 40 - 1 at home during the regular season, but also 10 - 0 at home in the post for a combined 50 - 1 at home for the year!
I love it. Uncut is systematically debunking all of the false narratives of Michael’s career. Most importantly using footage and actual data and stats.
He’s not …. Mj played in a weak era … he didn’t play against best teams … he was in the best team in the 90s but uncut just keep twisting it to favor mj
And I mean he didn’t win against the best teams … til when Larry and magic retired and later on Isiah… he didn’t have competition.. … he won every title with a superteam… he didn’t play against top 5 best sg … he played against Kobe cool but not Kobe’s prime … and y’all are comparing him to Simeon that played Against 3 superteams .. played against top players at the five positions and in their primes and yet y’all are d*ckriding lucky Jordan

Here's how ridiculous the Bulls front office was in 1986. They limited him to 14 minutes after he came back due to risk of injury. That minute's limit went away in the playoffs. Now, did his risk of injury suddenly go away in the playoffs? No. The front office was trying to not make the playoffs, and once they did, MJ no longer had a minute's limit.
Back in those days,teams with the record were almost guaranteed 1st,2nd or 3rd pick, Jordan was very mature to know and he called them out publicly on tv.A rookie with courage and confidence
They did same thing in 95 when Jordan came back from baseball. Originally front office told Jordan skip last 17 games in 94-95 season and play from the start of 95-96 season. But Jordan denied that offer because the Bulls were not sure whether they could make playoff or not and Jordan wanted to make playoff even though he was not ready to play with basketball shape.

The East in Jordan's era was freakin loaded.
Both the East and West each had like 4-5 Championship caliber teams (obviously with MJ around none of them won it all).
And behold the Greatness of Jordan... he took a last placed Bulls team and turned them into a 6 Time NBA Champions... Dropping 63 on a Celtics Team that had H.O.Fers from the guards position right through to the Centre...
Jordan's East was loaded hmmm- is that why CHI was the #1 seed in the East for 5/6 years the Bulls won a title (#2 seed the other)?
Since when does beating teams your roster is better than become impressive?
Jordan didnt win in the 80's when the East was actually loaded. He had to wait until BOS & DET faded out due to age & Pippen grew into an All Star caliber/elite defender to actually win anything.
By 87-88 and onward, Bulls had a tying record or better against teams like Celtics and Lakers in the regular season. Took the Pistons to game 7 in 1990 (should have won the series if not for Pippens migraine game 7), and not even Lakers or Celtics could take the Pistons to game 7 around that time
@@Reaper13-hi3yo his roster was at best decent without pippen on it lmao. Your right.

There is a video literally explaining how jorans team literally fell off the entire pistons vs bulls series.

Something that occurred to me the other day was that a lot of LBJ fans will say

Then, on the other hand, they will say
"Jordan could not win anything until he had Pippen"

They call today’s league weak and then flame him for losing in the playoffs
@nsant2321 When they say today's league is weak, it's usually backed up by some kind of statement/example e.g, hand checking or lack of big in the paint.
See when you try to deny the real goat as he is
You break down the statements against, and all you find is vagueness and contradiction
@nsant2321 well that's da whole point. Da league weak and yet lebron still lose in da playoffs with his handpicked teammates.
When we say da league is weak then it's no excuses for why lebron underachieved when he handpicked his teammates to help him win.
For example pretty much every since lebron been with da Lakers he's had AD in his prime as a teammate and yet if it wasn't for a PLAY IN lebron wouldn't sniff da playoffs.

@@nsant2321 I think you're confusing weak with soft. The league isn't weak talent wise but it's insanely soft officiating wise. The players are smart and they're abusing the system.
@@nsant2321 Yes we do, but there are reasons we say this, specifically the rule changes - "no hand checking" and "defensive 3 second" rules make scoring far easier. Luka, Jokic, and Giannis have all said it is way easier to score in the NBA than it is in the Euro League, while that certainly wasn't the case before the ill-advised rule changes. And it also seems like officials don't know what traveling, carrying, and dislodging offensive fouls are because they never call them on certain players (especially LeBron). The NBA actively dumbed down the game to increase scoring and that is why us "Old Heads" say today's game is weak. It is much harder and far more competitive basketball when you're NOT allowed to carry the ball, NOT allowed to take as many steps as you like AND switch pivot feet after picking up your dribble, NOT allowed to push off the defender, the defender IS allowed to hand check you, and the paint is ALWAYS clogged with 7-footers ready to block your shot. THIS is why we say today's game is weak. Because it is!
Kids today don't know...before Championship Jordan, he was AIR Jordan. That's where the legend began. He was electric in his youth. His shoes didn't fly off shelves for fadeaways. He was doing unbelievable aerial maneuvers.

I find it pretty comical that people will slight Jordan for getting swept by a team with 5 hall of famers while he was still developing as a pro, while they excuse other players for getting swept by 3 to 4 hall of famers during their prime.

Nah its called applying Bron's expectations to Jordan. If 2018, 2015 and 2007 Bron was expected to beat the KD Warriors and PRIME Spurs surely MJ could beat Celts.

Great video. Just one correction - before Jordan got injured the Bulls were 3-0 to start the 1985-86 season. I truly believe that had Jordan not gotten injured, the Bulls would have been a top 4 team in the east and would have made a strong playoff run.
MJ. Such a class act 💯
You often see people say Jordan was a ball hog referring to his scoring.
Yet in both series he led the team in assists. And 5 of the 6 games led the team in assists.
Yet you will see many say he didn't pass
If he was a ball hog then so is LeBron. The point guard on his team might as well be irrelevant lol
Jordan led the league in shot attempts 9 times, Lebron once. Jordan was a gunner especially early years which is why he never won a playoff series without Pippen on the roster
@@Reaper13-hi3yo Yes Jordan was leading the league in shot attempts, but Lebron was top 5 in shot attempts for a bulk of his career. Then add that Lebron lead his teams in 3pt attempts and FG attempts majority of his career, but people swear he's a pass first player. Im good if you want to say Jordan was ball hogging, but so was Lebron.

The side by side comparison from 10:41 perfectly illustrates the difference in defensive intensity and strategy between today and when Jordan played. Jordan consistently had to beat 3, 4 or all five defenders to get to the basket whereas Luka only had to beat one defender at half pace. And keep in mind the comparison is from the first round of the playoffs compared to this year’s FINALS! The finals looks less intense than a preseason game from the 80s or 90s. It’s one of the reasons why the NBA is so hard to watch now
19:40 So many clip-able moments in just one game. And not just many clip-able in one game, but multiple clip-able moments, in multiple games.
Who didn't run to their TV when the Bulls were playing? Watching Jordan was a huge thing in the late 80s and all of the 90s.
Nowadays, it's Edwards, Luka and sometimes Jokic.
Very informative; makes me more in awe of Jordan..
It wasn’t that they relied on MJ too much it was he was all they had on offense..there’s a difference
Beautifully done thank You!!
Jordan minding his business, doesn’t go out saying “imma donate, do this and that.” He just does it
2:15 this is the mentality that is HIGHLY lacking from kids going into soorts today. Social media fame at a young age, entitlement ruins kids and gives them an ego over everything
No one comes close to MJ. "To compete to win, that's all I live for." Think about that statement. A lot of us live for our family or whatever. For him ITS COMPETING TO WIN is why he lives. And that goes beyond basketball. No one is like that today. He didn't play for money or stats, solely to compete to win. He had the most skill, most athletic and the best mentality, and he out worked everyone as well. He's on another level.
Every time we go over these Jordan chronologies by the time you get to 89 you're slamming your phone down screaming all right he's a superhero he's already the goat he walked in the goat
By the time you get to 89 you realize he was still a few years away from winning.
It only took all the legends from the 80s to retire from old age, injuries, and hiv for MJ to dominate an expansion era with limited free agency rules.
What's yo background music bro it's fire good video 😎🦍
I'm ashamed of you hoops. Resorting to fake AI generated clips? Everybody knows Zeke never has anything good to say about Mike 😂
Seriously though the TRUTH is that MJs career is not perfect but the highs far outweigh the lows. His struggles early on are used as a gotcha by his detractors but to me it helps enhance his legacy. He and the bulls are the oerfect example of the phrase "started from the bottom now we're here." Did he need Scottie to help give him a fighting chance against other teams with multiple All-Stars and HOFers? Yes. Did he need Phil Jackson to help stabalize and get the best from his teammates? Yes. Just like every top player they needed good dudes with them. But Scottie was not guaranteed to be great when ge was drafted. He had to grow. Phil Jackson on the Bulls was not Phil Jackson when he went to the Lakers. Both with Jordan grew to become the greats we know them as today. But the one think Scottie and Phil had from day one was the greatest player on the planet. Other than the 95 comeback when he didn't play enough to qualify Scotty NEVER played a year where Jordan wasn't 1st team defense. Not one when they laced up from game one. And temember that Phil was at his most successful with Jordan. He only made the Finals in Chicago when MJ was there and he never lost unlike his time with Shaq/Kobe and Kobe/Gasol.
As Clayton Crowley said in his "Naking the case" video for MJ he is the Avatar of Sport and competition. He was beauty in motion and he left all he had on the court every game. His fundementals are what coaches should be teaching their players.

Lebron is not even close to this guy. Jordan was must see tv. Every single game he did something jaw dropping. He played hard defense and offense every single game. Lebron does not play defense anywhere near this guy. Lebron does not shoot freethrows nowhere near as well as Jordan. Lebron is not a closer like Jordan was either. How can you be so behind in those categories and think somehow you are greater than Jordan??
Thanks!
The commentators back then were certain. Something special is unraveling before their eyes.
When you look at MJ as a scorer alone, as most people do, his numbers are insane and only topped by one man, a center, in Wilt Chamberlain.
MJ and Wilt are the only NBA players to
Hit 3000+ points. Wilt did it 3 times, MJ did it once. No one has come close to that since MJ.
MJ has 6 2500+ point seasons and Wilt has 7. No one is close to averaging that as many times as these two. MJ has 10 scoring titles to Wilts 7. No other players come close.
I brought that up to compliment Uncut for pointing out how dominant MJ was on defense. He was just as otherworldly on defense as he was on offense. Mark jackson and Kenny Smith admitted that teams back then would avoid running plays on the side of the floor MJ was on because of his disruptive nature defensively which led to fast break points for the Bulls. Name me another player since MJ that the “league” had to game plan for equally on both sides of the floor? The only one I can think of, though he was not as prolific on both ends on the same level, is Kobe. Kobe was the only player that came the closest to being the nightmare MJ was on both ends.
Youngsters and old heads with Alzheimer’s, The more you look at or remind yourself of the “truth” about Jordan, without the lens of LeMedia lies, you will definitively know who the goat is. There really is no comparison on either end. You have to go back to Wilt or look at Kobe for a comparison, offensively and defensively.
Lebron is not in the same stratosphere as Wilt, Jordan, Kobe, Bird, Magic etc. none of the generation of players after Kobe can approach those heights, especially now that the game is completely dumbed down to create artificial goats.
It's fashionable these days to downplay MJ's defense. But you could make a case (a strong case) that between 88-93 he was the strongest m defender in the league; certainly he was the best man-on perimeter defender.
And for the record, Jordan did the best work against Magic in the 91 finals. The tape don't lie. Anyone who disputes this should rewatch that series.
@@AnHebrewChild agreed. The LeMedia clowns like Shannon, Wright, Arenas are complete liars. Their narratives as well as Lebrons can easily be debunked by actual footage. Same with the stuff that salty legends

Moral of the story is ANYBODY can surround themselves with "good" to great players and win, as they should, but who can say in NBA history as a rookie played for one of the worse teams in the league, and make them arguably the greatest team in sports history.
That's different!
Jordan set franchise records during his rookie campaign for scoring (3rd in the league) and steals (4th in the league), and led the Bulls back to the playoffs, for which he was rewarded with a berth on the All-NBA second team and NBA Rookie of the Year Award.
We don't call him the "goat" because it's cute to say, he's the undisputed "goat" because he showed us that no one before him and nobody after him has done more with less in a shorter time span, at the peak he has.

Deep down LeBron fans know this. They are arguing just to be contrarians.
Like you said, people knew since Jordan was a rookie. After he won dpoy and mvp all he needed to do was prove that he could win one ring.
He did. He was literally going to retire after his second ring because there was absolutely nothing left to prove. No one cared about Kareem's record or how many assists and rebounds he had.
All those stats are virtually meaningless.
The four rings after was just icing on the cake.

Lebum is not even in the top 10 but that’s your opinion and I’m not mad at it
