This do entary is so overrated. I’m sick of the slobbering.
If Jordan played today, he will be destroy the league because he's a once-a-generation player. We're salty because deep down, our franchise's best players (Kobe, Lebron, and Duncan) will never be considered the GOAT by most people.Jordan dominated subs ute teachers, CPAs, and plumbers. 90s defenses were not complex either. Sequence:
Jordan takes someone off the dribble and dunks.
Crowd: ooooooh!
Bad Boyz get mad. Next time Jordan tries that, Rodman clotheslined him or suplexes him.
Phil Jackson complains thru the media.
Results: Bad Boys no longer can rough up His Airness without impunity. Players can't even look at Mike without it being a tech.
Mike goes on to win 6 rings.
/The End
What Jordan got away with is equivalent to modern day white privilegePERIOD

Jordan would be DeRozan today tbh, he wouldn’t be matched up against Uncle Joey from Full house or grocery bagger Stark
Plus he hates zone defense
I’ve always thought Rodman should have won Finals MVP in 96
It is a team sport FFS
Not to mention Jordan doesn’t really make a team better, you had to build a specific team aroind him to make it work.
And the ringz argument is so flawed when it comes to comparing players, context is conveniently ignored
I like how the goals posts are moved in MJ’s favor : “MJ is the GOAT cuz more ringz than Lebron” ok then Russell should be the GOAT by that logic
Or “Jordan’s team wasn’t good enough when he started his career” or “he willed his teams to victory” yet Lebron is vilified for wanting a better situation. Is it his fault if the Celtics were much better than Cleveland? Jordan would have bolted if Krause didn’t built that team, people forget he threw the FO under the bus.
After the decision, Jordan said he wouldn’t have joined other superstars (duh he had Scottie, the best Euro player back then who was also the best 6th man a clutch shooter and a matchup nightmare in Kukoc, Rodman) but he paused and said “but... this is a possibility those kids have today” so maybe he would have done the same thing if he played today
Jordan gets praised for wanting to be in a better situation to win because “so compe ive” but when Lebron wants the exact same thing he is a pussy
That logic
People also forget Jordan disappeared in 4th quarters vs the Pistons and got bailed out by Armstrong, Kerr and Paxson (and Stern)
I do remember that time LeBron couldn’t get past that squad with Kendrick Perkins in the starting lineup
Kendrick would have averaged 50 ppg in the 90s
Hot damn
You want to talk about Jordan’s overrated defense ?
LeBron or James Harden?
Good trolling tbh
Except Jordan is a psychopath while Derozan is eternally depressed and suicidal.Jordan would be DeRozan today tbh, he wouldn’t be matched up against Uncle Joey from Full house or grocery bagger Stark

Abdul Rauf would be Steph Curry on steroids in t
what is you smoking? ? First off kinfolk lemme tell ya something. Bron ain’t never won DPOY. even Dwight’s goofy ass won that . I’m too two all time in steals. Most blocks all time by a guard. Bron has never been a great one on one defender like me. In Bron’s biggest, most decisive moments it has nearly always been someone else who has stood out. Ray Allen. Chris Bosh. Dwayne Wade. even Kyrie’s 3 over Curry. The don’t want it with the game on the line. Next time you come and say there’s anything even remotely close between me and that front runner imma slap the taste out ya mommas mouth.
Nice shtick, bruh. Keep it up.
We are pretty much on the same page on this topic.I’ve always thought Rodman should have won Finals MVP in 96

Ranking of players is largely around narratives, which is why Knicks and Lakers players get massively overrated In general as they have the most fans in the media.
Imagine an entire free press doing for you what Kenny smith is doing for Hakeem.
I mean, look at Willis reed. Love that guy, but in most subjective measures he’s barely a top 50 player and he’s being treated as a top ten Center of all time. Ewing is regularly ranked along Hakeem and Robinson yet both are clearly better than him. Earl Monroe is some wizard with the ball and yet he’s nothing better than Dave bing.
Kareem had his best years with the bucks but the history books wrote him up as a Laker. Magic isn’t equal as bird but he’s ranked as better than him. Kobe isn’t even top 15 but he’s ranked alongside Lebron (solid top 3) and Duncan (top 5 or 6). Worthy better than nique? Shaq was consensus too 5 before he started his feud with Kobe publicly at which point the laker friendly press tried to give Kobe more credit (and thus shaq less) for that three peat (refs never go their due).
Players from smaller markets (duncan, moses, Stockton, Robinson, Rick Barry) gets underrated daily. , Hakeem wasn’t on the radar until Kenny smith goes on a personal crusade to deify him.
35 year old Mario Elie was gonna slow down the defending scoring champ and MVP?
3 of the Spurs starters were out of the NBA within 2 seasons. You wouldn't have gotten Kerr either
I was thinking Rip HamiltonJordan would be DeRozan today tbh, he wouldn’t be matched up against Uncle Joey from Full house or grocery bagger Stark

Are you familiar how Jordan and Pippen treated Kukoc in the 1992 Olympics?I’ve always thought Rodman should have won Finals MVP in 96

LeBron would have taken him out to dinner. Slapped ass and danced on the court.
90s NBA defenders
Today's player would have launched a 3
90s NBA defenders
That's true
The rings argument is not 6>3, imo.
It's the fact that Jordan didn't have to go to 12 finals to get those 6 rings like Lebron would need to to attain that.
It's fact that nobody even took him to a game 7 in the Finals. It's not like all those teams were weak. The Lakers were probably the worst finals opponent they had. There were some decent defenders he faced like Russell (it was a push off) and Gary Payton.
It's the killer instinct factor that stat sheets and John Hollinger do not account for. We all know Chicago only ran that triangle for 3 quarters. Then Jordan would often just take over. Something we do not see a lot of from Lebron. And I tend to give LBJ a pass on that as he often does make the right basketball play, even if it does not result in a W. But there are some unpardonable sins on his resume that will not be forgotten. Getting outsocred by Jet Terry in an NBA finals -- a bronze medal(lol), poor free throw shooting in the clutch and being carried off the floor all cramped up during another embarrassing Finals loss.
Lebron is likely the most physically gifted athlete the world has ever seen. I think he would be an all pro football or baseball player as well. But when it comes to drive and killer instinct, the closest we have seen a player come to Jordan is Kobe.
