Funny how management acted tough and ran Jordan out of the Bulls and now look at the team. They really thought players like MJ grow on trees or something
MJ really probably only chased 6 so he can go to post-game and brag that he got 6 and Magic only has 5. He probably wanted to get 7 so he'd have more than Kareem as well and once he got there, he'd go for 12.
@Ricky !!!!! everybody knows MJ wants better he could have had 8, and even then would have wanted more wins, Tom Brady is irrelevant because 1. He couldn't 3 peat 2, it took him 2 decades to scrape together 6 MJ did it in 8 years
Mike had that King of the hill mentality. Somebody gotta knock me off before the hill is yours. Management basically made him walk off that hill against his will.
Basketball was always MJ's second love. If he is so disappointed in only winning six then guess that "retirement" to go play baseball must really keep him up at night.
I'll agree however, he essentially quit twice while being able to leave the game while still in his prime, had he played a few more years that 0 likely would have gone
Pippen came from huge poverty. Pippen had to scratch to survive. Michael Jordan had very good parents. He came from a complete home not a broken home. Jordan had a better atmosphere to grow up in and became a good man. Michael handled crowds so well. Crowds and fans are relentless, they put a great deal of pressure on a person.
I feel that because Chicago Bulls management failed the team, the Bulls are irrelevant yet again. When you go against certain simple non written laws of sports, you end up failing. Telling Phil he is out even with 82-0 before season ? That's a disrespect to sports laws. He won you 5 rings. Telling Jordan, arguably the GOAT who single handly changed Bulls and NBA, he's out because they thinking of rebuilding and not giving him a chance for a 7th or maybe an 8th ring ? Not wanting to keep him until he truly retires with a great squad around him ? That's a disrespect of sports laws. Trading Pippen and Kerr and releasing Rodman when they got you 6 rings for Pippen and 3 for Kerr and Rodman ? That's a disrespect of sports laws. The fact you have propably the best team and coach with the GOAT playing in his prime and you're thinking of breaking up the team for rebuilding reasons is a total disrespect of sports laws. I have NEVER heard or seen this anywhere else, in any other sport. Happened with the Montreal Canadiens. In the 90s, the Habs started having a really bad team mentality when they traded Chelios and Roy. Since then, the Habs who one 24 Stanley Cups in their history haven't gone to the finals once. Since then, the Habs have always failed star players that have a strong mentality and who raise their games in the playoffs. The Habs want to win, but they always manage to drive star players away from Montreal, ruin young prospects and create all kinds of drama for nothing. A few years ago, they traded their best defenceman Subban, the best player on the team at the time on a nightly basis, for a far slower and 4 year older player past his prime. With the Preds, Subban was yet again a Norris nominee and made the finals. Doing that, is a disrespect to sports laws and the Habs I predit will never win anything again if they don't change their team management culture. Just saying, it's my subjective opinion of course, but I feel the Bulls management ruined that last season with the team for BS rebuilding reasons. All the starters had another 2-3 good years at the top of their game. It truly is sad. I really don't understand what was going in the back of their minds of Jerry Krause and the owner.
If they got the 4-peat, you'd have these clowns saying that '99 Spurs was a scrub team/weak competition. People just can't accept Jordan simply dominated his era and is the goat
David McCarthy I don’t like Bron at all, he’s corny, narcissistic and a flopper, the list goes on.. But, he’s still without a doubt a top 10 all time player, hate to say it
It wouldn’t have changed much bc LBJ has a lot of his people on tv caping for that man. They would’ve said how MJ had this “superteam”, faced “weak” competition, can’t take “scrubs to the finals”, “never came from a 3-1 deficit” etc
@David McCarthy Im no Lebron fan but to say this man wouldnt have been a starter is crazy. You forget back then it was all about working the paint and midrange, Lebron has all the ranges and is freak athlete.
@@maxpower10k I still believe Rose could've win like Jordan did if the 2011 injury didn't happen (and Thibs got to his senses to give players enough rest time LOL)
The irony of them not getting to run it back is what adds to the allure and mysticism and invulnerability of Jordan's legacy Because the what ifs make everything possible
Wouldn't be surprised if these comments by Michael Wilbon and the entire "Last Dance" series lead to Jordan announcing he's making a comeback to the NBA. With how far physical training has advanced with technology, Jordan is in great shape and the fact that he always had superhuman athleticism means he can still play at his current age. I think he's going to announce he's signing to a contender like GSW and try to compete for a few rings in the upcoming seasons.
6-0 is amazing. But sometimes Like it was the case in the 2000s, the eastern conference finalist was an easier matchup then the Western conference finalist. For instance, The Kings and Spurs were tougher than The Nets, The Sixers or the Pacers. In Jordans case, The Knicks, The Pistons, The Pacers were all tougher than the western conference finalist. I find it hard to believe MJ would have gone undefeated in a finals series against the Shaq and Kobe Lakers or Against Pops Spurs with Tim Duncan, D. Robinson, Add Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, I’m gonna miss a bunch of very good players off the bench but Bruce Bowen would have at the very least disrupted MJ enough to have 2 bad games and that would have been the difference in winning a series.
When it came to sports........The 90s was about the Red Wings, the Yankees, the Cowboys, and the Bulls! The 90s Bulls will remain as one of the greatest NBA teams ever. I couldn't stand yet respect Jordan! You better have your A game when you play against Jordan!! Now at 40, I was blessed to watch his entire career in person! I miss that era of the NBA.
@Ashley M - The Penguins did start off the 90's strong with 2 consecutive Stanley Cups wins, but the 90's was mostly about players, and a coach, leaving championship teams and eventually winning with other teams. So the teams of the 90's was a tie between Pittsburg and Chicago. Coach Scotty Bowman was at the helm for Pittsburg's 1992 Stanley Cup sweeping Chicago 4-0, then left for Chicago eventually winning in 1997 and 1998, both by 4-0 sweeps.
The cactus over Wilbon’s shoulder is a Saguaro, the largest cactus in the United States growing up to 40 feet tall and living for 150 to 200. The roots only go 4 to 6 deep a circle with a radius the size is the cactus. Nature is dope.
MJ will not be the most popular athlete because to many ppl dont like him ! It doesn't matter how many chips he GOT ! I'm a Laker guy! Magic and Kareem for basically 10yrs And Bird and The Celtics not everyone look at MJ like he GOD walkin on water! We just dont!!
Spiritual truth there’s always unbelievers.😉 MJ used to be the Babe Ruth of baseball when I was growing up. Now MJ is the Ultimate Sports Figure. Well Maradona is a god in his own right but futball isn’t followed by Americans as widely.
Because of quarrentine and highlight reals. He was great but if ur the GOAT u don't retire because ur coach ain't coming back. LeBron would never do that. No Ty Lue, no problem. He keeps it movin
I loved loved loved the LAST DANCE....esp.MJ scene ,you hear him crying so hard when his father wasn’t there when they won that championship on Father’s Day....I am so lucky and fortunate to have witnessed living in Chicago and being a Bulls Fan!!!
And yes, the Bulls would've won vs. whomever came outta the west. San An, Portland (part deuce?), Jazz, Lakers, IDGAF, NO TEAM would've beaten Chicago in 99, 50 gm season. They coulda picked up a solid 3rd option that season n won.
Then you’re being bias and delusional to think the spurs with Tim and Robinson wouldn’t beat an aging bulls. If they came out of the east that year because the Knicks gave the bulls trouble in the past.
lmao that new york knick team was lucky to go in the finals cuz are the 8th seed also bulls will win against 99 spurs cuz rest + 50 game season + championship DNA
@@jaatown23 Do you know Basketball at all?! Rodman would've gotten inside LJ/Cotton Camby/Kurt T (to be sure!!) head n it'd have been over. Spree vs Jordan?? Haha!! AGING Bulls team? The 4-5 months off/season starting in Feb 99 would've given the Bulls extra rest. For a chance at ring 7, yah, Reinsdorf would've pushed Krause aside, allow PJ n players back for another run. MJ was concerned about Hakeem; he knew he could contain Robinson n Rodman would've taken Tim D to school. The Knicks (Idk how they made it that far) would not be any real threat. I would say that the Spurs would take the Bulls to game 7. But the Bulls experience, MJs drive, n maybe Rodman plays outta his mind to finally prove to San An what they gave up trading him, gives the Bulls the advantage. Rodman def gets into D Rob's head. Timmy too smart for that, but he alone can't win it all. Pippen guards n shuts down Elie, Sean Elliot, whomever else. Kerr still plays for Chicago. There...gone on enuff. Bulls-1999 NBA Champs!!
I know the feeling it eats u inside knowing u had what it took to continue and have it just taken away not being able to continue... winning and proving ur d best ovr and ovr is addictive it feeds ur soul and becomes an absession!
Knowing what I know now about MJ it's not even about those 6 rings, it's the fact that if he wanted to, he could have had 8 rings, it's the fact that this man had the willpower and resilience to take down anyone and everyone he met in the finals.
As great as MJ was, he would have never won 10 in a row. He needed the break to come back and win another 3 peat imo. And the rockets probably beat them in 94 or 95.
The Bulls would Not have beat the Rockets in 93-94 & 94-95 NOT both seasons maybe 1 of those seasons but NOT Both Hakeem Olajuiwon was Playing Lights Out Basketball he would have won in one of those seasons
I totally get it! MJ wanted to be the best basketball player ever and he wanted to win at all costs. He's a living legend who will be talked about for years to come. GLOBAL ICON.
The Last Dance documentary was well put together, I loved every episode. It helped me to understand Michael Jordan 'the person' aside from 'the basketball player'.
This is absolutely a great talk to keep and listen. it definitely will remind young generation how great MJ was. No double , MJ is the G.O.A.T to me all day every day.
As a person that has never watched a basketball game but knew about MJ because of his shoes made me love the game of basketball after watching the last dance. It showed me why people say he’s the goat.
Be grateful for the people and things you have in you’re life, but never be content with what you’ve done. If you’re content with what you’ve done, you can never improve yourself. We could be sitting here gloating over and celebrating our so called “accomplishments” but the truth is is that none of us have accomplished anything. This is how Jordan thinks, and this mindset is largely what helped him be so great. We should all try to emulate this.
Jordan is the goat but this is always such a dumb argument. Punishing Lebron for losing in the finals. That’s worse than losing in the conference finals or earlier? Which is what Jordan did the rest of his career
Jordan and his 6 dont come close to Russell and his 10. And keep putting down Lebron all you want. Atleaat he didnt quit like Jordan did when he couldn't handle the pressure when his gambling became a problem. 3-6 means he never gave up. Jordan folded like a cheap tent when he had a personal problem. Weak minded.
@@cwstewartjr1973 his dad who he was extremely close to getting murdered is why he stepped away. No pressure MJ ever faced did he fold under. Just never happened. It's literally the one argument you cannot make about MJ. He thrived under pressure, even if his team couldn't handle it and couldn't preform against the best teams around in the 80's, MJ always did. He was almost always, I mean 99% of the time, the best player on the court. In an alpha era, full of great teams, great defences, great coaches and some brutal defending, MJ never showed mental weakness. Mental weakness is a trate that's all too common in today's game and LeBron is no exception. LeBron has crumbled too many times, he clearly has mental frailties and the worst thing is, he's competing against other mostly mentally weak players, but still he cracks. If LeBron played back in the 90's, he'd be a good player, an all star most years probably, but he wouldn't come close to MJ and he wouldn't have half the name he does now.
The other drama was Scottie Pippen. He wanted to be traded because he was fed up with Bulls management. Even if MJ, Phil, Dennis, and the rest of the Bulls came back to go for #7, Scottie chances are wasn’t gonna return to the Bulls.
Ronaldo vs Messi and Federer v Nadal would be bigger. Hilarious how American broadcasters ignore international sportsmen who are even more followed than Lebron today globally . 😂
Mike Wilburn and Michael Jordan were and are completely correct!! You stay on the court as the winners, until, you get knocked off! By either who's got next, to much injury to overcame, or age and attrition! That has "always" how it's been from the youngest of ages, on and on; until, they "Did Not" give those "Bulls" that opportunity!! 💯 "FACTS!"
In addition, like it or not, because they didn't give that Mike's Bulls that opportunity, it is the "One" element that Mike has over other greats. 'He has no loses in the finals!!" Others do! And that is just FACTS! Again, like it or not, He is "Undefeated" in Finals, notwithstanding, MVP in All Finals he partook, concluding, "None" of the series even making it to a game 7. No other great can boast those- one mo 'gin- "FACTS"!!!💯💯💯💯💯💯
Michael Jordan is the best basketball player ever , for several reasons, but the most important one is, his determination to win at all costs. He is and most likely always will be, the most influential athlete that ever lived, not because of statistics, but because of his bigger than life persona, cultivated by himself. His mind, exploited the talent of his Body , and forced others around him to Excel, or sit down , cuz winning takes commitment from the whole team !
I remember watching the TV at dawn (I live in Europe, games started at 2:30 or 3:00). First lights go out, than comes the music and the Chicago players come in, the crowd goes insane, the tension blows the charts. I loved it, it still gives me goosebumps to see those games again. I remember cheering and going crazy in front of the TV in 1997 when the Bulls have stolen the ball passed it to Kukoc and he dunked it.
honestly, I grew up watching Michael and I JUST wish It would be forever seeing him on the court doing his unbelievable thing, FANTASY STUFF IN the BASKETBALL WORLD.
MJ said it himself that he was mentally, physically and emotionally drained when he was done with the first 3-peat. There was a high chance that his performance would’ve decreased if he went back right away. I think his 2nd 3-peat was partially due to the fact that he was able to rest and ease his mind a bit during his hiatus. Which is why he was so motivated during his comeback season.
Nah, he was so motivated because he got beat by Orlando and he cost the team that series. Tim Grover touched on that in a recent interview that they immediately went to training after the loss
The Bulls never had the title taken from them. They were split up while they still had at least 2 more title runs in them. I can understand why Jordan wouldn't be happy that they were dismantled while still winning championships.
MJ’s “The Last Dance” paints a picture of a man built on facts with a touch of class and spice to capture our attention. I enjoyed each episode and even though I have never met Mr. Jordan I know that I would like him and its not because he is a great NBA athlete but because Mr. Jordan appears to treat others off the court with respect. From the man tasked with protecting MJ to the wide eyed little boys and girls of every color with huge smiles on their face asking for and receiving MJ’s autograph. As a 78-year old white man who witnessed first hand racism back in the late 40’s through to the 50’s I think it fair to say that because of sports “in general” racism in future generations will be rare. The ONLY dark side of the documentary is when Mr. Pippin sat himself down and refused to play because he did not get to take the last shot. I do not understand and cannot figure out why. All the players in the film said multiple times their coach insisted players play as a team and MJ (the BEST ever to play the game) bought into Mr. Jackson’s ideology and yet Mr. Pippin chose this specific time and place to refuse to play ……. And get this …. Mr. Pippin said if he had to do it over again he would do the same thing …… But, this is the same man who signed a contract even though the owner suggested he not sign …… Perhaps Mr. Pippin is the real Mr. Rodman.
The one Bloch in Micheal Jordan's unbelievable phenomena is that he played with the Washinghton Wizards but only to get out of his ownership contract he had with them. Micheal Jordan s an NBA owner, and looking back it is Jerry Reinsdorf that should have made this happen mane by giving him a ten percent stake in the Chicago Bulls maybe in the past twenty years the legacy of the Jordan dynasty would not have fell so far. I get that he was loyal to Jerry Krause and though it is a good quality to have a sports franchise has to be in the business of winning and no other person personifies that more then Micheal Jordan. Wish he was a Bull for life an ownership had that grander perspective to make that happen after all the man and his star is the NBA. As LeBron James is making Space Jam 2, and he can mirror Micheal Jordan all he wants, but the slogan ain't, I want to be like LeBron.
Chicago Bulls - with MJ could possibly win more championships, they should have given the chance to defend, be dethroned whatever... but the Bulls management, headed by Jerry Krause screw up the most exciting, most watched, most competitive era in NBA history.
He could’ve won two more titles but when he came back he signed with the wrong team. think about it he could be a big help to major contender he still was average about 20 ppg.
Phil Jackson actually tried to get him to come back to the lakers with Kobe and Shaq. But I don’t think Jordan would’ve wanted to play second fiddle to them.
Richard Simolata u mean like how mj refused to play without teams that were stacked? He couldnt play without his daddy phil j.. he was too scared to play in an nba without scottie & phil.. thats fact. u need to stay in school richard
Richard Simolata he came back in 01 when teams like the nets & sixers were going to the finals out of the east and he still couldnt even make the playoffs
@@kungfukenny8098 you mean vs the most stacked team in the history of basketball? Oh wait he just made the finals again with a new team in a new conference, that's right. Like eventually you guys will have to give bron his dues.
@@MRkriegs 2016 Warriors wasnt the most stacked team in history. Being down 3-1 doesnt make anyone great. You wouldnt even rank Curry above Kyrie in that series. Best two players in that series was Lebron and Kyrie. Rank 5 players in any Mj finals youd go 1 Mj, 2 From othet team, 3 From other team, 4 Pippen/From other team 5 Pippen/From other team, 6,7,8 From other team.
Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan, Mike Tyson, Tiger Woods, Michael Schumacher, and Bruce Lee are the people who were the best of the best of the best at their peak and prime. They were internationally known superstars who transcended their sports.
Man, even playing on the playground, it was about how long you could stay on the court. I'll never forget winning like 12 consecutive (full court) games; what that felt like; the groove you had to be in with your teammates to keep winning, until someone could beat you. The disappointment in losing that last game, but the satisfaction of having a run like that, too was real cool. Too bad MJ couldn't keep doing it until....smh...
We used to play on Concrete on the Westside of Chgo... I remember we held-court until 1-dudes wife- came & got him. I finally had some semblance of a game & my knees paid the price.
I mean I think part of why it’s so fascinating is because the 90’s bulls were cut short. They stopped while they were ahead and we didn’t really get the closure with Michael Jordan that we’ve had with other players. He stopped playing while he was on top. They all did. And now we’ll never know what might have been, how Michael Jordan’s career might have changed. And that’s something you can roll over in your mind forever.
For me its not about the 6-0, its what jordan gave in this sport, poetry in motion, his charisma, its so powerful and inspiring. Mindblowing at that time thats why he single handedly popularized nba worldwide
He's not satisfied with 6-0 so he decided to retire after 98? After Jerry Krause said organizations win championships? I would've thought the "greatest competitor" in sports history would try and prove them wrong
Why break up the team to rebuild then? Keep the team and give it a shot, win or lose. Why would mj go back to the 80's when he already endured and developed a good team around him?Thank Reindorf for that.
simon cohen were there not 29 other teams in the nba to play for?? Clearly staying with the bulls wasnt priority as he ended up playing for the wizards
Lol! I like Michael Wilbon but he needs to stop! He is in love with Jordan! We get it, he was great! You could argue that he is the greatest ever. You could argue that Bulls team was one of the greatest! I respect Jordan but I think there shouldn't be an argument because Kareem is the actual greatest ever! Jordan was just more famous for several reasons and he is definitely top 3 ever! That bulls team could beat most in most eras but not every team in every era! I know a hand full that could beat them.🤔😎 Who cares Wilbon and Jordan! Move on!
i was so sad watching the ending of the documentary, like Wilbon said, anyone who played sports will be able to relate on how much it hurts if you are winning and asked to go without a chance to keep playing. For the ultimate competitive player Michael Jordan? I can only imagine his pain. :(
He was forced to retire. He would have stayed if the Chicago Bulls organisation kept the same team and the same coach. But they wanted to "rebuild". And they're doing that still to this day
6-0 is great by itself. They didn't need anymore. Another year older, with even less athleticism left, and even more jump shots, wouldn't have been as exciting........if Mike wanted more rings, he should have played in 1994 and 1995, when he was still in his prime.
Michael Jordan aka the Goat made a stupid comment about we should had gone for it the next year. Like why didn’t u just go for it, instead u decided to retire. No one said u can retire. U retired because u knew that 98 was it. The further MJ gone the less likely he would win. We all know MJ couldn’t have done it w/o Scottie.

@@skyhawk2758 stop please their was no real competition back then I give him his props but their was only wilt
@@skyhawk2758 they had 6 teams in the playoffs
6-0 is amazing. But sometimes Like it was the case in the 2000s, the eastern conference finalist was an easier matchup then the Western conference finalist. For instance, The Kings and Spurs were tougher than The Nets, The Sixers or the Pacers. In Jordans case, The Knicks, The Pistons, The Pacers were all tougher than the western conference finalist. I find it hard to believe MJ would have gone undefeated in a finals series against the Shaq and Kobe Lakers or Against Pops Spurs with Tim Duncan, D. Robinson, Add Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, I’m gonna miss a bunch of very good players off the bench but Bruce Bowen would have at the very least disrupted MJ enough to have 2 bad games and that would have been the difference in winning a series.
When it came to sports........The 90s was about the Red Wings, the Yankees, the Cowboys, and the Bulls! The 90s Bulls will remain as one of the greatest NBA teams ever. I couldn't stand yet respect Jordan! You better have your A game when you play against Jordan!!
Now at 40, I was blessed to watch his entire career in person! I miss that era of the NBA.

@Ashley M -
The Penguins did start off the 90's strong with 2 consecutive Stanley Cups wins, but the 90's was mostly about players, and a coach, leaving championship teams and eventually winning with other teams.
So the teams of the 90's was a tie between Pittsburg and Chicago. Coach Scotty Bowman was at the helm for Pittsburg's 1992 Stanley Cup sweeping Chicago 4-0, then left for Chicago eventually winning in 1997 and 1998, both by 4-0 sweeps.
The cactus over Wilbon’s shoulder is a Saguaro, the largest cactus in the United States growing up to 40 feet tall and living for 150 to 200. The roots only go 4 to 6 deep a circle with a radius the size is the cactus. Nature is dope.

This Lebron Era and Mj still the most popular athlete in the world💯🐐
Straight up. I hope the young generation realise what mj did, aswel as the other players did in the bulls.
MJ will not be the most popular athlete because to many ppl dont like him ! It doesn't matter how many chips he GOT ! I'm a Laker guy! Magic and Kareem for basically 10yrs And Bird and The Celtics not everyone look at MJ like he GOD walkin on water! We just dont!!
Spiritual truth there’s always unbelievers.😉 MJ used to be the Babe Ruth of baseball when I was growing up. Now MJ is the Ultimate Sports Figure. Well Maradona is a god in his own right but futball isn’t followed by Americans as widely.
He Isn't. Stop capping
Because of quarrentine and highlight reals. He was great but if ur the GOAT u don't retire because ur coach ain't coming back. LeBron would never do that. No Ty Lue, no problem. He keeps it movin
I loved loved loved the LAST DANCE....esp.MJ scene ,you hear him crying so hard when his father wasn’t there when they won that championship on Father’s Day....I am so lucky and fortunate to have witnessed living in Chicago and being a Bulls Fan!!!

Jalen Rose is smoking something when his Pacers couldn't even beat the Knicks in the 1999 playoffs.
More than him being 6-0 I know Mike wanted to go up against Hakeem & those Rockets. That would of been the ultimate test.
And yes, the Bulls would've won vs. whomever came outta the west. San An, Portland (part deuce?), Jazz, Lakers, IDGAF, NO TEAM would've beaten Chicago in 99, 50 gm season. They coulda picked up a solid 3rd option that season n won.
Then you’re being bias and delusional to think the spurs with Tim and Robinson wouldn’t beat an aging bulls. If they came out of the east that year because the Knicks gave the bulls trouble in the past.
lmao that new york knick team was lucky to go in the finals cuz are the 8th seed also bulls will win against 99 spurs cuz rest + 50 game season + championship DNA
@@jaatown23 Do you know Basketball at all?! Rodman would've gotten inside LJ/Cotton Camby/Kurt T (to be sure!!) head n it'd have been over. Spree vs Jordan?? Haha!! AGING Bulls team? The 4-5 months off/season starting in Feb 99 would've given the Bulls extra rest. For a chance at ring 7, yah, Reinsdorf would've pushed Krause aside, allow PJ n players back for another run. MJ was concerned about Hakeem; he knew he could contain Robinson n Rodman would've taken Tim D to school. The Knicks (Idk how they made it that far) would not be any real threat. I would say that the Spurs would take the Bulls to game 7. But the Bulls experience, MJs drive, n maybe Rodman plays outta his mind to finally prove to San An what they gave up trading him, gives the Bulls the advantage. Rodman def gets into D Rob's head. Timmy too smart for that, but he alone can't win it all. Pippen guards n shuts down Elie, Sean Elliot, whomever else. Kerr still plays for Chicago. There...gone on enuff. Bulls-1999 NBA Champs!!
@Jon Turner He was older, but like Rodman said in his book, D Rob froze bf big games. So, a YOUNG Tim D won't win it alone.

Knowing what I know now about MJ it's not even about those 6 rings, it's the fact that if he wanted to, he could have had 8 rings, it's the fact that this man had the willpower and resilience to take down anyone and everyone he met in the finals.

I've always believed the bulls would've won 10 straight every year if MJ never retired in the 90s and kept going until he got out of his prime
Maybe. Hard to say for 94, 95, & 2000.
As great as MJ was, he would have never won 10 in a row. He needed the break to come back and win another 3 peat imo. And the rockets probably beat them in 94 or 95.

That's hard to say
The Bulls would Not have beat the Rockets in 93-94 & 94-95 NOT both seasons maybe 1 of those seasons but NOT Both Hakeem Olajuiwon was Playing Lights Out Basketball he would have won in one of those seasons
I totally get it! MJ wanted to be the best basketball player ever and he wanted to win at all costs. He's a living legend who will be talked about for years to come. GLOBAL ICON.

Not comparable to Russell and his 10 rings
The Last Dance documentary was well put together, I loved every episode. It helped me to understand Michael Jordan 'the person' aside from 'the basketball player'.
Greatest sports documentary ever!
Are you kidding? The Last Dance is 90% drama, 10% basketball.
@@sloaiza81 that's the point! Documentary to inspire not to entertain
It wasn’t a documentary, it was a vanity project.
This is absolutely a great talk to keep and listen. it definitely will remind young generation how great MJ was. No double , MJ is the G.O.A.T to me all day every day.
How can Perdue be on that '99 team, the Bulls traded him for Rodman
He misspoke. It would've just been Kerr
Jalen Davis I think so too, he overspoke out of emotion I think
They could trade Perdue for janitor and it could be deal of the year for Bulls.
Perdue was traded in 95, came back in 99 as a free agent.
As a person that has never watched a basketball game but knew about MJ because of his shoes made me love the game of basketball after watching the last dance. It showed me why people say he’s the goat.
If Jordan was 7-0, he wouldn’t be satisfied. He’s ultra competitive
he would have kept playing until he lost. that was his mentality
Be grateful for the people and things you have in you’re life, but never be content with what you’ve done. If you’re content with what you’ve done, you can never improve yourself. We could be sitting here gloating over and celebrating our so called “accomplishments” but the truth is is that none of us have accomplished anything.
This is how Jordan thinks, and this mindset is largely what helped him be so great. We should all try to emulate this.
I agree. Its better to let your actions speak for themselves, then to go about talking what you have "achieved".
Wilbon speaking so much sense even I understood
I'm just excited to watch Bron crush everyone live. These moments are missed....
Fix your audio ESPN, it's been lagging for a week
Guys like that are never satisfied though
Michael himself also mentioned that he has the competitive issue within him, as long as he can still do it he will try and still compete.
It could be worse. He could be 3-6.
🤣🤣
Jordan is the goat but this is always such a dumb argument. Punishing Lebron for losing in the finals. That’s worse than losing in the conference finals or earlier? Which is what Jordan did the rest of his career
Jordan and his 6 dont come close to Russell and his 10. And keep putting down Lebron all you want. Atleaat he didnt quit like Jordan did when he couldn't handle the pressure when his gambling became a problem. 3-6 means he never gave up. Jordan folded like a cheap tent when he had a personal problem. Weak minded.
Russian Bot #19538532 russel got his 11 in a league with less than 12 teams😂 goofy
@@cwstewartjr1973 his dad who he was extremely close to getting murdered is why he stepped away. No pressure MJ ever faced did he fold under. Just never happened. It's literally the one argument you cannot make about MJ. He thrived under pressure, even if his team couldn't handle it and couldn't preform against the best teams around in the 80's, MJ always did. He was almost always, I mean 99% of the time, the best player on the court. In an alpha era, full of great teams, great defences, great coaches and some brutal defending, MJ never showed mental weakness. Mental weakness is a trate that's all too common in today's game and LeBron is no exception. LeBron has crumbled too many times, he clearly has mental frailties and the worst thing is, he's competing against other mostly mentally weak players, but still he cracks. If LeBron played back in the 90's, he'd be a good player, an all star most years probably, but he wouldn't come close to MJ and he wouldn't have half the name he does now.
The other drama was Scottie Pippen. He wanted to be traded because he was fed up with Bulls management. Even if MJ, Phil, Dennis, and the rest of the Bulls came back to go for #7, Scottie chances are wasn’t gonna return to the Bulls.
Ronaldo vs Messi and Federer v Nadal would be bigger. Hilarious how American broadcasters ignore international sportsmen who are even more followed than Lebron today globally . 😂
Mike Wilburn and Michael Jordan were and are completely correct!! You stay on the court as the winners, until, you get knocked off! By either who's got next, to much injury to overcame, or age and attrition!
That has "always" how it's been from the youngest of ages, on and on; until, they
"Did Not"
give those "Bulls"
that opportunity!!
💯 "FACTS!"
In addition, like it or not, because they didn't give that Mike's Bulls that opportunity, it is the "One" element that Mike has over other greats. 'He has no loses in the finals!!"
Others do! And that is just FACTS! Again, like it or not, He is "Undefeated" in Finals, notwithstanding, MVP in All Finals he partook, concluding, "None" of the series even making it to a game 7. No other great can boast those- one mo 'gin- "FACTS"!!!💯💯💯💯💯💯
Greenie sounding like Max Headroom there for a few seconds!
Michael Jordan is the best basketball player ever , for several reasons, but the most important one is, his determination to win at all costs. He is and most likely always will be, the most influential athlete that ever lived, not because of statistics, but because of his bigger than life persona, cultivated by himself. His mind, exploited the talent of his Body , and forced others around him to Excel, or sit down , cuz winning takes commitment from the whole team !
Lebron will NEVER NEVER NEVER be on Jordan's level
EVER
LeBron about to have you traded for saying that.
Yeah but ur mother is
LeBron is on his level as far as talent. Mentally, Jordan was in another place.
Tom Etheridge couldn’t have said it any better tbh. Lebron don’t got that heart that MJ had
MJ wasn't satisfied with being 6-0 cuz he knew that it wouldn't be enough to remain the Goat🐐👑
This is the same argument I'm making for Kawhi. He shouldn't have left Toronto. Winners stay on the court
I remember watching the TV at dawn (I live in Europe, games started at 2:30 or 3:00). First lights go out, than comes the music and the Chicago players come in, the crowd goes insane, the tension blows the charts. I loved it, it still gives me goosebumps to see those games again. I remember cheering and going crazy in front of the TV in 1997 when the Bulls have stolen the ball passed it to Kukoc and he dunked it.
He should have won 9 rings for real he totally dominated his entire career
He didn't and couldn't
The 93 Bulls team is my favorite of the lot.
Bulls vs Bulls 40 game schedule was what Silverman wanted.
Amazing!
honestly, I grew up watching Michael and I JUST wish It would be forever seeing him on the court doing his unbelievable thing, FANTASY STUFF IN the BASKETBALL WORLD.
MJ said it himself that he was mentally, physically and emotionally drained when he was done with the first 3-peat. There was a high chance that his performance would’ve decreased if he went back right away. I think his 2nd 3-peat was partially due to the fact that he was able to rest and ease his mind a bit during his hiatus. Which is why he was so motivated during his comeback season.
Nah, he was so motivated because he got beat by Orlando and he cost the team that series. Tim Grover touched on that in a recent interview that they immediately went to training after the loss
@@simple45679 MJ BLEW it in game 1 of Orlando series.
I’ll never understand how people give thumbs down to these types of interviews. I mean...it’s about MJ and the Bulls !!!!!!
That remix intro was fire. Admit it
The Bulls never had the title taken from them. They were split up while they still had at least 2 more title runs in them. I can understand why Jordan wouldn't be happy that they were dismantled while still winning championships.
Michael Wilbon is a cool guy met him a Northwestern and he was cool
MJ’s
“The Last Dance” paints a picture of a man built on facts with a
touch of
class
and spice to capture our attention. I enjoyed each episode and even
though
I
have never met Mr. Jordan I know that I would like him and its not
because he
is
a great NBA athlete but because Mr. Jordan appears to treat others
off the court
with
respect. From the man tasked with protecting MJ to the wide eyed
little boys
and
girls of every color with huge smiles on their face asking for and
receiving MJ’s
autograph.
As a 78-year old white man who witnessed first hand racism back in
the
late 40’s through to the 50’s I think it fair to say that because
of sports “in general”
racism
in future generations will be rare. The ONLY dark side of the
documentary is
when
Mr. Pippin sat himself down and refused to play because he did not
get to take
the
last shot. I do not understand and cannot figure out why. All the
players in the
film
said multiple times their coach insisted players play as a team and
MJ (the BEST
ever
to play the game) bought into Mr. Jackson’s ideology and yet Mr.
Pippin chose
this
specific time and place to refuse to play ……. And get this ….
Mr. Pippin said if
he
had to do it over again he would do the same thing …… But, this
is the same man
who
signed a contract even though the owner suggested he not sign ……
Perhaps Mr.
Pippin
is the real Mr. Rodman.
The one Bloch in Micheal Jordan's unbelievable phenomena is that he played with the Washinghton Wizards but only to get out of his ownership contract he had with them. Micheal Jordan s an NBA owner, and looking back it is Jerry Reinsdorf that should have made this happen mane by giving him a ten percent stake in the Chicago Bulls maybe in the past twenty years the legacy of the Jordan dynasty would not have fell so far. I get that he was loyal to Jerry Krause and though it is a good quality to have a sports franchise has to be in the business of winning and no other person personifies that more then Micheal Jordan. Wish he was a Bull for life an ownership had that grander perspective to make that happen after all the man and his star is the NBA. As LeBron James is making Space Jam 2, and he can mirror Micheal Jordan all he wants, but the slogan ain't, I want to be like LeBron.
The owner was cheap!!
Chicago Bulls - with MJ could possibly win more championships, they should have given the chance to defend, be dethroned whatever... but the Bulls management, headed by Jerry Krause screw up the most exciting, most watched, most competitive era in NBA history.
He could’ve won two more titles but when he came back he signed with the wrong team. think about it he could be a big help to major contender he still was average about 20 ppg.
he couldve sign to lakers like lebron always do . joining stacked team
Phil Jackson actually tried to get him to come back to the lakers with Kobe and Shaq. But I don’t think Jordan would’ve wanted to play second fiddle to them.

I bought Bulls season tickets the year BEFORE they drafted MJ. I lucked into the most valuable tickets in the world. I finally gave them up last year.
Man, even playing on the playground, it was about how long you could stay on the court. I'll never forget winning like 12 consecutive (full court) games; what that felt like; the groove you had to be in with your teammates to keep winning, until someone could beat you. The disappointment in losing that last game, but the satisfaction of having a run like that, too was real cool. Too bad MJ couldn't keep doing it until....smh...
We used to play on Concrete on the Westside of Chgo... I remember we held-court until 1-dudes wife- came & got him.
I finally had some semblance of a game & my knees paid the price.
I mean I think part of why it’s so fascinating is because the 90’s bulls were cut short. They stopped while they were ahead and we didn’t really get the closure with Michael Jordan that we’ve had with other players. He stopped playing while he was on top. They all did. And now we’ll never know what might have been, how Michael Jordan’s career might have changed. And that’s something you can roll over in your mind forever.
For me its not about the 6-0, its what jordan gave in this sport, poetry in motion, his charisma, its so powerful and inspiring. Mindblowing at that time thats why he single handedly popularized nba worldwide
That was the best trick by publishing this documentary to make people keep involved in ESPN-programs and be active in social media
He's not satisfied with 6-0 so he decided to retire after 98? After Jerry Krause said organizations win championships? I would've thought the "greatest competitor" in sports history would try and prove them wrong
Why break up the team to rebuild then? Keep the team and give it a shot, win or lose. Why would mj go back to the 80's when he already endured and developed a good team around him?Thank Reindorf for that.

Well Jordan you retired after the finals so obviously you was happy with 6 rings. Can’t blame no one here except yourself
He was forced to retire. He would have stayed if the Chicago Bulls organisation kept the same team and the same coach. But they wanted to "rebuild". And they're doing that still to this day
6-0 is great by itself. They didn't need anymore. Another year older, with even less athleticism left, and even more jump shots, wouldn't have been as exciting........if Mike wanted more rings, he should have played in 1994 and 1995, when he was still in his prime.
