MJ is OBSESSED with playing basketball, he respects his predecessors, winning an NBA title (not 1, not 2, not 3 but 6 NBA titles and 2x 3-peat), he played 82 games (because he is the FACE OF THE LEAGUE) to set an example for the next generation and with hard work he EARN his place among the GREATS.
We can literally relive Jordan's entire career by watching the full games on youtube. Watch for yourself. I just watched the playoff runs from 1987-1991... it was amazing growth not just for Jordan, but for the whole Bulls team. I don't care what anyone says, Jordan is the GOAT of all sport.
Jordan was 9 times all defensive first at the same time as scoring champ. That really shows how much of a beast he was on both ends. Also steals champ at the same time as scoring champ. Something that never gets mentioned. Jordan is top 5 in both totals and per game averages in both scoring and steals. Some players maybe both for one stat but not 2. Jordan took it to another level in the finals especially the first 3. 91-- average 11.4 assists per game highest for anyone not Magic. 92 - - average an impressive 42% for 3s and in game 1 shot six 3s in a half which was a record for 18 years until Ray Allen the only person to shoot more in a half 93-- average 41 points per game highest ever. Unbeatable
“The next person who walks up to me and says LeBron is as good as Michael Jordan, or competes like Michael Jordan… I’m just gonna slap the hell out of them.”-Charles Barkley (2017 - 2024)
“If anybody tells me LeBron is as good as Michael… I’m gonna slap the hell out of them.”-Charles Barley (2017 - 2024)
Sadly, Charles Barkley has had to repeat this idea, in different ways, over and over. LeBron James won only ONE (1) NBA World Championship in the last TEN (10) years 2016 - 2026, with that only ring being the Bubble Gum Orlando City Chumpionship. So Barkley has had many years to repeat this “Jordan is better than LeBron” sentiment over and over and over and over……yet here we are again…..here we go again. This is why I’m glad that the GOAT Michael Jordan reconciled with Sir Charles Barkley because Charles Barkley has NEVER wavered, stumbled, stuttered, or changed his position on this subject (unlike Stephen A Goof, Isiah Goof, Scotty Goof, and the rest of them…..And I hope that MJ never reconciles with these weak lukewarm goofies). I just wish that Charles Barkley could legally do - what Will Smith did to Chris Rock - to Nicki McWright, Scottie Pippen, Isiah Thomas, Kendrick Perkins, Draymond Green, Dwight Howard, and everybody else on this planet who decided to use this Rockets/Lakers Round 1 series to pretend that LeBum James was ever in Michael Jordan’s GOAT debate. 🐐🏀
