The GOAT…. Many duplicate, imitate & attempt to replicate but never ascend to this level of athleticism, work ethic, basketball skill, knowledge & instincts on both ends of the court… The GOAT was a cold blooded clutch player with the heart of an assassin that played shooting guard.
And people still wanna compare LeBron to MJ Michael Jordan was just special. He’s in a league of his own on another planet. There will never be another player like him or no one to even come close when it comes to basketball MJ just had it and he never turned it off.
When he played, Jordan was considered not only the best basketball player but also the best athlete in the world and of all time. He was probably the most famous person on the planet, something I don't think will ever happen with another basketball player. There were people who knew about Jordan even if they didn’t know what the NBA was.
"That didn't look safe "😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 he took me out with that one😂😂😂😂😂.. That's one of the difference between that time and this, MJ time was much more rough compared to this baby soft era.. it is what it is 🤷🏾♂️
Those were the Jordan rules when he played against the Pistons and what were those rules whenever Jordan jumped up in the air grab him and knock him down to the ground. Those were the Jordan rules and that’s the type of physicality that he had to go up against and he didn’t complain what he ended up doing was an off-season hitting the gym to get even stronger to be able to take those hits and the greatest part about it was that even plain in that kind of defense, he was still shining on all of them and getting his points that man had no quote in him and there was nothing that phased him
Yeah, this is why people came to see him play, all over the world. And Pippen grew to compliment him perfectly, and he and his teammates became mentally and physically tougher because of MJ's intensity and will to win the game. Jerry Krause took a lot of heat but he brought in all the right coaches and players.
