The Day Michael Jordan Destroyed Kobe Bryant & Shaquille O’neal

Who’s The Better Shooter? Kobe Or MJ

Jordan being the goat over Leborn is a lot more than just 2 extra rings imo bro.

4 rings or 6, MJ's prime was still better than LeBron's regardless.

“Who’s the goat?” Michael Jordan.: “ dumb question the question should be who’s the greatest team” That’s how a true goat responds to a question like that.

2 3-peats is not only unsurpassed, it is unsurpassable. And no Game 7 just seals it for all time.

Jordans unprecedented 1988 season proved he was the greatest ever (MVP, Scoring Title, Defensive Player of the Year and Slam Dunk Champion) His 6 Rings & 6 Finals MVPs just backed up what we already knew:face-red-heart-shape:

Jordan's defensive play at 11:03 is an another example of why he's the greatest. Even if his offense isn't working, he always reading the floor and looking for weaknesses he can exploit to get the team over the finish line. Calling for Kerr to shoot the 1997 finals-winning jumper after he pulled away the defense is another perfect example. This is why Kobe learned to respect Mike so much. Individual skill is great for stats and highlights but becoming an era-defining champion requires a drive and understanding of the game that few have possessed. It's why someone like Westbrook could average a triple double across multiple seasons yet collapse when everything was on the line. Lastly, I assure you Rodman had no intention of fighting Shaq. He was the master of getting into player's heads and one of the few capable of shutting down the big man despite the obvious size mismatch. This team was hitting on all fronts.

Michael Jordan is the Michael Jordan of all Michael Jordans

I once heard that the Chicago Bulls in the 90s did not have a losing record against any team. Add the fact that the 93 run was the only championship season where they didn’t win 60+ games… that is just incredible dominance.

Speaking of this game and not telling about Shaq locked down by Rodman in second half is a fail.

Jordans highlights are extraordinary and unique. Nobody can move as spectacular as Mj. The closest comparison would only Kobe to be l'ike Mike".Furthermore the 6 rings in 6 finals and 6 MVP's is amazing ..Kobe, Lebron nor shaq has accomplished tha feat. Whether its Offensively and defensively only Mj can give you the excitement that brought the basketball world together.

It’s hard to say. MJ was strategic and efficient with his shot selection. Kobe would shoot from anywhere for no reason other than he believes he could make it. And he did make a lot of amazing tough shots because he attempted a lot more of them than MJ did. If Kobe was more selective with his shot and MJ was more gunslinger from anywhere maybe it would be closer. But for me, I will go with MJ. For his position, MJ is the second most efficient SG in NBA history. The guy ahead of him wasn’t a high volume shooter. To shoot as much as he did for his position and be basically at 50% for his career is crazy.

90s: fights and mid range jumpers. 2010 and beyond: threes, threes, threeees!!!!

I remember watching this game live when I was a kid. I watched every game. I always got frustrated because the Bulls have never had a good center in an era dominated by centers in the low post, with Shaq being the best. But I was also even more frustrated that Jordan would make all these crazy shots, just in front of the 3 point line, even with a foot over. And I was always thinking, why doesn't he move back a few steps and make it?? But when Jordan felt it, he felt it. . . And that was before the emphasis on the era of always shooting 3 point shots. He was AIR JORDAN in his 20s and the man who defied gravity. But in his 30s, his competitiveness and agressive nature made him become the greatest clutch shooter in history. Who invented the turnaround fadeaway. Other players copied it also, like Kobe. Or Dirk Nowitzski, with a similar shot only putting his knee out towards the defender to add extra room on the shot. But still, no one has ever been able to do his fadeaway better. 💯💯💯

This was great, I appreciate you keeping the original 4:3 aspect ratio

This was an excellent presentation; it flowed, like a Cadillac on cruise control.

I never played with MJ (obviously) but I did play with a veteran baller who had international experience and who represented his country (NZ) for over a decade. The guy was in his late 40s at the time. He had the same never say die attitude and refused to stop fighting, even in games were behind by 20+ points in and we were in a YMCA style league. His advice in timeouts was to just chip away and not give up. He had an unshakable confidence he could win any game and it was infectious. That player was Byron Vaetoe. 'At 1.97 metres, with big mitts, silky skills, bundles of athleticism and a killer shot, he was one of the great Kiwi basketballers of his generation'. (Marc Hinton)

Rodman was finna put them polished tips on Shaq😭🤣😂🤣

Mad breakdown, brother. 👌
