Great job on the premise of the video!!! I applaud you for it, most shills wouldn't touch this topic!!!👏 While you're at it.... would love it if you did a video series on the NBA using Jordan as a marketing strategy to market their brand of entertainment to the world. If you did.... you'd have BALLS of STEEL 😂
The Bad Boys were very good defensively but were willing to hurt people to win. If Jordan started going off, I'm sure they would have tried hurting him
@@hugopalma9926 sorry but we trashed Bron in 2006. In fact, Bron wouldnt have gotten past Detroit in 2007 if Ben Wallace hadn't left to play for the Bulls.
Lol this comes to show that he needed help (just like lebron and kobe), hence why the development of pippen and horace grant was vital. Plus coaching (phil jackson ) also played a big role with why Chicago was eventually able to go out on top for years to come. Every great player needs a great team
Yeah I agree with that every player needs help I don’t care if your the G.O.A.T you need help.I hate when people criticize players for having help in order to win.
@@kingcedman7762 only new generations expect for some reason a player to carry a team. In reality a team needs 1 all time great player , one superstar and one good player to win a chip. This has always been the case
Zois Antonopoulos exactly. They forget it’s a team game and all positions in basketball play different roles and superstar players of every position affect the game differently and similarly in ways.
Like he just said in the video, he was forced to. No need to be a rocket scientist to know that you'd rather pass to an open teammate than clank a bad shot while being double or triple teamed. It's simple rational thinking.
@@FoolOnCool titles are deceiving. I mean if you look up "don't stay in school" the emo dude's video title and thumbnail will make you think that he's trying to make people drop out of school. When in reality, anyone with a few braincells will actually watch the video and see that he just means that the school system sucks, but he needed a catchy title.
I hate how none of Jordans bad games are ever discussed or brought up. It’s like he only played 6 seasons. He is lucky that he didn’t play in today’s world, where social media and the media itself would have annihilated him.
you must not have been around when Jordan was playing. He was CONSTANTLY getting crucified by the media for being a ballhog, not being in the same league as Magic or Bird in terms of winning, being a one man band who didn't make his teammates better, a scoring champion couldn't win a title, etc etc etc. what erased all of those narratives is that he won, and won dominantly. No one forgot that he had bad games. But he never had bad games on the biggest stage that cost his team a title. You're being quite disingenuous or are simply ignorant of history.
Isn't the 97' ECF Bulls vs Heat a bad game on a big stage. MJ shot below 30% on 9/35 FG shooting. To be fair though he bounced back the game after and before this game and it didn't cost them technically a title however it prevented a sweep from the bulls.
@paul hammer If you think he would of been annihilated in today’s game you clearly never saw him the way a die hard bulls fan (that never missed a game saw him). You don’t hear about his bad games because he RARELY (I don’t use that word lightly) had them. Until you can compare a players mentality to his then you can’t convince me that he wasn’t the GOAT. He literally demoralized players. And with him being physically relentless, that alone is bold enough to say he would of DOMINATED today’s league.
@@aidank6861 I understand I'm not one of them a LeBron fan boy or apologist. But I am a LeBron legacy defender and I defend anyone's legacy who's being disrespected. You don't have to disrespect a player to uplift another an that's what people do to LeBron. AI was disrespected because his persona was bigger then life and it didnt fit the norm for the NBA. He was "Real", no nonsense, down to earth, and was of, for and by The People. AI is a Legend 1 of 4 Transcendent players who influence the league, culture, and the game on a global scale.
If you you want to add context to that lebron had Draymond on him that had 5 fouls kd came late and hit passed it to Korver who wasnt open steph closed out beautiful and how the refs were calling that game lebron could have easily gotten the call...you see all that context...sometimes you fans can be toxic
Not at all the Lebron fans love to bring up mj. Lebron had bad game vs Orlando the other day and what Dom do?? Bring this video up😂😂😂😂 tryna dig for a bad mj game hahahahaa
I can definitely tell who are the younger fans vs who are the older fans by the many comments. Older fans talk about building through the draft, patients, building a team the right way etc... Younger fans talk about the big three, winning now, free agency etc... The facts are this, no one wins a championship by themselves in a TEAM SPORT!!! As great of an individual talent that a player may be, whether it be Michael, Lebron, Kobe, Wilt or whomever, that person needs their teammates to do their job in order to win!! I am happy that this video and breakdown is available so that fans can see that even the great Michael Jordan needed his teammates to step up in order to win! One cannot beat a very good or great five!!!
@Notoriouskage1804 Lol! Are comments like these suppose to discredit MJ or something? You realize basketball is a team sport right? Was Jordan suppose to win and takeover every single game, during his championship run? I don't know anyone that won it all by themselves. Also....no he wasn't perfect
Pippen is not top 50 all time stop it! Phil was very lucky to have mj and Kobe. No Kobe no mj= no ring for Phil. Phil lucky to have 2 best SHOOTING guards all time
Please do Cavs vs Pacers Game 1 of 2018 First Round. Bron got accused of the same even though he got his teammates soooo many open shots that they just did not knock down.
@@billyconklin6020 rewatch it and you’ll see the Cavs players stood there like statues, weren’t trying to make plays and expecting Bron to knock down 3s or drive to a congested paint. He team gave up just as much as him. Someone made a great video on it the other day
These videos should be named how to guard and play hof defense in an era that 3pt wasn't as common. Nowadays most of those open shots would sink and he would have 20 assists
Jordan didn't quit, he was not open. It's the same thing as Lillard last year against the Warriors. They needed Aminu and Harkless to hit the open shots and they couldn't. But Joe Dumars is such an underrated player in nba history
Good video. It also shows that the idea that MJ had “help” after Pippen arrived is fabricated. Pippen was talented of course, but he was to young to deal with the championship level Pistons of that era
Dom2k please on your next video of did he quit. Find the footage of the 2010 playoff matchup between the Cavs and Celtics games 5 &6. Tell me if you think Lebron quit.
Michael Turner I haven’t watched the video yet but does it have to do with Lebron..? If not then why bring him up.. and also why you tryna bring another man down in the first place..... why look for the downsides in a career like brons where there’s so much greatness
Solo you shouldve watched the video first or at least the intro. but this is more likely due to someone saying something negative about jordan. jordan stans act like he scored every point for the bulls
Solo watch the video. I was recently in a discussion with a 23 year old who feels lebron is the greatest ever. I simply asked him why he believes that and gave me valid points about Lebron while also leaving out his failures on the brightest stage. He then began to say Jordan didn’t play nearly the competition and today’s game is harder to play in because players are more skilled. To make a long story short I feel like so many people want Lebron to be the best so bad that they are willing to overlook Lebrons FEW times he didn’t get it done compared to Jordans pretty much Flawless career.
Uncut Hoops Yes Give Pistons big credit but also there was this narrative by the media that Mj was a ball hog and the media was blasting him for it, so he was trying to show them and everyone else that he was willing/trying to trust his teammates plus he was sticking to the game plan and letting the coach coach him.
In my opinion, it was just a case of a team that wasn't constructed well for MJ to play PG. He could really pass the ball, but you need a different type of offense if you are going to have your best scorer also be your main ball handler and facilitator. Just take a look at Luka, LeBron or Giannis. There's just no way to triple team them because those offenses are built to punish you for doing so.
Why so many people act like Jordan started playing in 91. Let's be real he scored a lot of points and lost a lot of playoffs. First and second round. Oh yeah NO FINALS and NO CHIPS. IM Just SAYING
It's a lie,how tf mj quit when he stayed with bulls?? 🤔🤔🤔. Quitting is going on another team like how Lebron did quitting on Cleveland twice in 2010, 2018
Any fan who watched and witnessed Jordan back then know that he tried to play a different game from his usual and during that 88-89 season he played PG towards the end to see if success could come with him distributing the ball getting his teammates open they seen success but they struggled against the pistons
LowEnd DrillCityVet yessir. I watched (avidly) and witnessed: what you describe is exactly what went down. The fact that folks even try to argue that Jordan disappeared this game is entirely fallacious history based upon two principle shortcomings: *1) failure to understand the historical context (as you mentioned above):* His teammates were ATROCIOUS at screening & posting vs physical teams, atrocious at off-ball rotation, and wildly inconsistent / others atrocious at making open shots. Even when teammates' shots _were_ connecting, it was still 2+ pistons directly bodying MJ, but..... when his teammates went cold: the on ball double teams often turned into 3-4 and off-ball direct-guards went to 2 (utilizing switching between offA and off B players). *2) failure to understand advanced basketball strategy.* (ie _actually_ understanding - which very few even hardcore fans do) The 89 and the 90 pistons-bulls series were legitimately Michael Jordan vs an entire team of Vicious defenders. (EVEN those not directly guarding MJ - still adjusted ALL their defensive switches, all off- ball positioning and all post-side defensive slots in reference to one thing: #23's current location on the court. The strategy in how they accomplished this, was contingent on a secondary thing: the ball's current location in reference to #23. Those folks who don't _know_ basketball X's and O's (the vast majority of even hard core fans do not); these people flat out _DO NOT_ understand just how all-consuming this defense was designed to be against one man. And Chuck Daly and staff were WIZARDS of defensive strategy. Sorry for wordy post / rant ha ha.... Look folks, I'm a huge fan of Bird, Magic, Kobe, Duncan, Shaq, Olajuwon and other greats BUT, besides Wilt (_maybe_ tho that's another topic), legitimately no other player in league history has had to face the depth of a whole-team-focused-against-one-player defensive arrangement as MJ did in 89 & 90 Detroit. NO, not even Jordan himself would ever face a strategy so all-encompassing again. For reference, NO... not even the early 90's Knicks series: even that was qualitatively different to the things I described above... (because Jordan finally had Pippen (version 2.0), Grant and some serviceable role players.) LowEnd... appreciate you listening. =] And thank u for raising the main points as u did above. You're right: people who didn't watch and witness... just plain ol' do not know. Cheers
I remember these years and everyone saying he's great but he's not going to win championships. It was cool seeing the team battle the pistons in the late '80s and early '90s and finally breaking through
Most greats have that “yeah he’s a great player but is he really a great player he’s winning championships” phase. Lebron, Shaq, Wilt, and more went through it.
I’m new to the channel and I really appreciate the analysis you bring across multiple eras. As a Pistons fan, I also appreciate you describing some of the elements of their success (in particularly, crediting their often-overlooked depth). I’d love to see a video that focused on the Bad Boys. There have been some takes about how they matched up against the Bulls, but I’m interested in how they found success against other superstars like Wilkins or Miller. In particular, I’d like to hear how they gameplanned and executed against teams with multiple threats like the Celtics and Lakers (yes, both were hit with injuries in ‘89, but the Pistons also beat them or took them to 7 in ‘87, ‘88, and ‘91). Against the Bulls, it seems a lot of their approach involved completely disrespecting the non-Jordan Bulls, which doesn’t seem like an option against teams with second and third options like Kareem, Worthy, McHale, and Parrish. So how did they compete with and beat those teams?
This video shows more than ever that you need a great team to win no matter how great you are. People bashed LeBron for it, I need the same energy for MJ.
Too bad the myths on infallible MJ and his hidden story before those dynasty teams are a tough nut to crack. Lebron anyway is the most scrutinized and criticized player of all time so I doubt one would see equal treatment for other great players.
The more and more you watch 80s-90s basketball, the easier it is to realize how trash it was. You could literally quadruple team a player and the offense wouldn't consistently make them pay. Garbage ball
@@JJFX- NBA hardwood classics is the only ball I grew up watching. So no. I just used to have a nostalgia for it that allowed me to overlook how unskilled and low IQ the game was 30+ years ago
@@noahkatzenmeier9576 If that's true and you know basketball I have a hard time believing that. There has always been bad games. Hell, even the last playoffs had some games that were so bad it was hard to watch. Obviously there's differences between eras coming down to rule changes and the meta but saying the late 80's and 90's was low IQ, unskilled ball is just absurd. Overall shot percentages haven't changed much despite the modern restrictions on defense. They shoot a lot more 3s but at the cost of many having a weaker mid-range. They could be much more physical back then whereas now they have to open the floor and barely even bother with offensive rebounds much of the time. Flopping always happened but nowhere near what we see now. It's so common they actually had to add flopping-related rules. Every season there's a montage of ghost fouls that we rarely saw back then.
Players back then are lucky there wasn’t social media, if a player had a bad game or series, no one would know unless you watched it, and you move on. Nowadays a player has a bad game then that shit spreads everywhere, memes and everything. Everything is magnified nowadays. Just imagine how many other legends had bad series but we don’t know about them
@@chillbutton2986 not really because now players have their own voice via social media. Back then it was only newspapers and a few tv stations that got the player narrative out.
@@iamEricHall Back then you couldn't watch media any time throughout the day with a hand held device. You're literally bombarded with criticisms of a player, and ppl will focus more on what media says vs what an athlete post on their individual social media account. The vast majority of the time you only hear athletes voice bc the MEDIA is using it as a topic on their segment
@@chillbutton2986 That makes back then worse. Imagine for Lebron if there was only Skip Bayless and no Shannon Sharpe, Nick Wright, Ryan Hollins, or Brian Windhorst. Thats how it was when there were beat writers and no youtube. The media made the story that said Jordan was in the casino until 2-3am during the Knicks series. Jordan stated he left well before that. In this era we would know who was correct. Kawhi is in the same era as Lebron. He just doesnt desire the spotlight and media attention Lebron does. So it is more abour the person than social media and pressure.
@Jared Rivera illegal defense was put in way before Jordan played a game in the NBA. The Pistons pushed illegal defense to very limit, which is why they were so good. Also set the trend for the way defense was played in the 90s
@Jared Rivera if you were around for the Jordan years, you'd know Jordan would dominate any era of the NBA. When he first came in the league everyone tried to make him shoot jumpers. When the bulls played the trailblazers in the finals it was said Jordan couldn't shoot 3's. He then in game 1 set the record for 3pters. The guy would adapt and overcome any rule or defense thrown at him
so PASSING is actually a GOOD thing, eh ? mj was making "the right play" ? interesting, because there is another 23 that does something eerily similar, and we shit on him for WEEKS about it. keep this SAME energy when lebron passes the ball because he was trying to make "the right play". i hate HYPOCRITES
X You sound silly. It’s amazing you mention stats from MJ yet demonize LeBron for having a excellent all around game/ insane stats. LeBron career isn’t over yet. And if he gets 6 or more rings, somebody like you would still criticize him for losing in the finals. 6 rings are a team accomplishment by the way. Other players in NBA history have more rings than MJ but we rarely talk about them.
LeFraud took trash teams to the finals because he played against trash teams, Jordan didn’t have this luxury, playing Gilbert Arenas’ Wizards & Jason Kidd’s Nets are cakewalks! The 80s Celtics with Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, Dennis Johnson, Robert Parish and Bill Walton were a championship winning dynasty.
BBall Griot I don’t think you know how efficiency works. It’s literally based on personal performance not the team. John hillinger is the one who made the statistic anyway. In John's words, "The PER sums up all a player's positive accomplishments, subtracts the negative accomplishments, and returns a per-minute rating of a player's performance."
BBall Griot your point about his teammates stepping up in the finals is irrelevant because efficiency is based on personal performance. Regardless of if it’s a win, or a loss the efficiency is the same. Facts don’t care about your feelings
2 things, 1st that was the game that Doug Collins fired, looking back it was clear that Doug Collins had no answers to what the Pistons were doing against MJ. 2nd thing, this video shows just how much help Jordan didn't have in Paxson and Pippen and the rest of his supporting cast that the Pistons were clearly not worried about. However yes they all grew up and got better and became great champions but clearly the rest of the players needed work. In comes Phil Jackson with the Triangle Offense, 2 years they win beating Detroit handedly and 6 rings in 8 years!
@@ericdupree8603 Only thing I think this proves is that Jordan was good at play making & passing something some people say he wasn't good at & that he really was playing with trash players cause he literally got them WIDE OPEN shots from him getting double, tripled & even sometimes quadrupled teamed & his teammates were still bricking them shots
@@deandresmith4311 Was you watching the same video we was watching his teammates were the ones who choked from him getting them those wide open shots that they were bricking it's a difference between choking & not being able to do 5 on 1 a choke job is what LeBron did in 2011 now that's a choke job
great video. but the double standards Jordan stans have for LeBron are more apparent than ever in the comments lmao. Just admit both Jordan and LeBron were great players, it wont kill you guys
Marvin Santana they definitely are stans. i know Jordan is the goat but the gap is way smaller than the stans make it out to be. If lebron had this game you would be hearing about it until lebron retires but since its jordan it shows off his iq and how good he is at making adjustments
Do a video with the SAME ANALYSIS and EXCUSES for Game 5 of the 2011 NBA Finals, you know that game LeBron "melted down" and went 3-11, but had 9 rebounds and 7 assists, but is considered "evidence" by Skip Bayliss for a DECADE.
Couple things, I remember watching this game and feeling like Jordan was laboring a bit from the jump. He took a lot more rest moments on defense then normal in my opinion and he just lacked his usual burst. Given how physical Detroit was that makes sense but secondarily didn’t Collins specifically talk about this game and how they made a mistake in the game plan?
Isaac Gracia Mike fed post that entire game I watched and had hamstring issue since March only missed 1 game limped game 6 next game and in Knicks series previous round
It should be the one in the first time with the Cavs, he carried those 2000s Cavs teams on his back multiple times but the critique should be aimed at 2009 or 2010 when he went vs the Boston superteam. When he took on Dirk + the greatest Mavs team of all time he just choked, I really doubt it's that.
I don't think he quit against the Mavs, he just sucked/choked and I say that as he's my all-time favorite player. The only game I think LeBron quit was that infamous Celtics game and when you consider the rumors, I don't know, that's a tough situation to try and go ball with one teamnate who did you dirty and possibly a few other teammates who knew but said nothing. Kind of hard to go full on battle with a few guys you don't trust.
This is why the concept of 'assists' and 'assist-turnover ratio' does not tell the full sstory of what a player is going through. Ben Taylor's Shot Creation would be able to pick up Jordan's gravity and point guard actions here.
Imagine if MJ had a 6 game Finals where he only scored a grand total of 8 points in the 4th quarter. Jordan had 1 bad playoff game. Your boy has bad SERIES. Several of them. Chew on that for a minute.
WOW,finally this is the first time I've heard one of these channels actually tell it like it is,PUSHING CERTAIN AGENDAS is ABSOLUTELY true!!I was and am fortunate enough to have watched my favorite growing up LARRY BIRD and of course where theres Larry Legend theres gotta be Magic and showtime,but after those 2 started it,in came AIR JORDAN and it was pretty obvious the marketing machine kicked into overdrive and its no coincedence that as the Bird,Magic and Bad Boy Thomas And the pistons finally wrapped up a TOTAL domination of the 80's,jordans bed was all set and ready made,the league was so watered down by the time the 90's came along,the decade was made FOR MJ not sayin he wasnt great,but he certainly didnt have any teams or players that were gonna take him to his limits,although I always found it odd the ONE team that would have given chicago a run was OLAJUWON and the rockets as they came off back to backs jordan came back from mini retirement and go figure Rockets never got to meet jordan in the finals,no celtics or Lakers here either,looking back now it is OBVIOUS just what the league did,they made sure that their cash cow had to reign supreme to go along with the MACHINE and sure enough he is a F'N BILLIONAIRE and yes LBJ isn't quite MJ but his Machine is pretty crazy too and again this dude has had to have all stars all over the court with him to win his titles and yes Bird and Magic had a crazy HOF lineup each,but they didnt go looking for these players they were ride or die for a decade,if Lebron stayed in cleveland,how many titles??and the bigger picture of course is the $$machine woulda started takin a hit cuz he wouldnt be winning titles and be paired alongside another great in Dwayne Wade and then Kyrie,but when it comes down to it the NBA are always one step ahead of us the adoring fans,cuz the NBA is at the end of the day ruled by the same BILLIONAIRE ELITISTS that run our country and the WORLD and its just set up for them to have a little fun and mak edd the $$$ but also to make sure that us little,regular people are focusing our attn to whats goin on with MJ and Bird and Magic instead of focusing on the dirty,nasty shit that THEY are up to,the Bread and circus
great video one thing tho you said mj averaged 35 against the cavs and 40 against the knicks more the other way around, he averaged 40 on the cavs and 36 on the knicks that year
Can u imagine if James woulda done this in the western conference finals just ✌🏾yrs ago against Denver and they lost the game he did it in? He woulda never heard the end of it.
Good video showing detroit defense BUT,,,,,, Who ever said jordan "gave up?" who ever was watching the game at that time knew it was the defense. I believe they called it the "jordan rules", never heeard he "gave up" in my life from anybody
No. This is the game MJ proved that if he didn't drop 40, his teammates, no matter how open they were, couldn't make up on points. He had to score cause nobody else could.
It also proved that he couldn’t do it by himself and needed more help offensively. Not a bad thing because no player can do it himself. Everybody needs help and MJ isn’t any different
@@simple45679 sarcasm meaning: 1. the use of remarks that clearly mean the opposite of what they say Dictionary.cambridge.org But I see your point though
Crazy thing is... When I was on Google+ in the NBA community, I brought this up about Jordan & how Vinnie Johnson outplayed him just to show folks that every superstar has had a bad game(s) in the postseason.
Also, this is just a microcosm of what I've also said, Jordan was a terrible shooter outside of 18ft, that's why the _"if he played today he'd work on his 3pt shot & shoot better"_ when in reality it wouldn't have unfortunately. Jordan's game was 18ft & in, he dominated that.
Skinny Hardaway Their protecting MJ like crazy. To me personally, there is multiple goats. MJ has the most glamorizing career. But Kareem is up there, Magic, LeBron, Kobe, etc.
Lebron mos def not in Goat conversation. Lebron not even better than kd and Kawhi. Yes mj had a off GAME but this video lying saying mj quitted,the definition of quitting is going on another team
No one lol, imagine if he had korver, kyrie, Ray, Miller and Chalmers and other great shooters for spacing, he's average like 14 assists because you need a great player to knock down the shot regardless of you making the right play
STOP REVISING HISTORY FOR THIS MAN. He was not a decoy in this game, that was a joke made by the sports media after this game. He was supposed to facilitate the offense and get his points. He got frustrated with the Pistons defense early and mentally checked out of the game (aka quit on his teammates).
The first thing you may notice watching older NBA film is the floor spacing, the Chicago Bulls spacing early in MJ's career was absolutely atrocious. All 5 offensive players were inside the 3 point line at times, It looked like randoms in The Rec.
I mean Isiah Thomas was even said there motive was to either make Jordan take a lot of shots and miss or make sure he didn't get the ball in his hands the first place

When in reality, anyone with a few braincells will actually watch the video and see that he just means that the school system sucks, but he needed a catchy title.
6:09 I thought something fell on my screen lol
I hate how none of Jordans bad games are ever discussed or brought up. It’s like he only played 6 seasons. He is lucky that he didn’t play in today’s world, where social media and the media itself would have annihilated him.
The Jordan fans hide everything
you must not have been around when Jordan was playing. He was CONSTANTLY getting crucified by the media for being a ballhog, not being in the same league as Magic or Bird in terms of winning, being a one man band who didn't make his teammates better, a scoring champion couldn't win a title, etc etc etc.
what erased all of those narratives is that he won, and won dominantly. No one forgot that he had bad games. But he never had bad games on the biggest stage that cost his team a title.
You're being quite disingenuous or are simply ignorant of history.
Isn't the 97' ECF Bulls vs Heat a bad game on a big stage. MJ shot below 30% on 9/35 FG shooting. To be fair though he bounced back the game after and before this game and it didn't cost them technically a title however it prevented a sweep from the bulls.
@@swatsa4460 if they had lost the series or didn't win the title games like that would've been discussed a hell of a lot
@paul hammer If you think he would of been annihilated in today’s game you clearly never saw him the way a die hard bulls fan (that never missed a game saw him).
You don’t hear about his bad games because he RARELY (I don’t use that word lightly) had them.
Until you can compare a players mentality to his then you can’t convince me that he wasn’t the GOAT. He literally demoralized players. And with him being physically relentless, that alone is bold enough to say he would of DOMINATED today’s league.

I can definitely tell who are the younger fans vs who are the older fans by the many comments. Older fans talk about building through the draft, patients, building a team the right way etc... Younger fans talk about the big three, winning now, free agency etc... The facts are this, no one wins a championship by themselves in a TEAM SPORT!!! As great of an individual talent that a player may be, whether it be Michael, Lebron, Kobe, Wilt or whomever, that person needs their teammates to do their job in order to win!! I am happy that this video and breakdown is available so that fans can see that even the great Michael Jordan needed his teammates to step up in order to win! One cannot beat a very good or great five!!!

Mj: “Cmon man not here wait till we go in the locker room”
Everyone has moments of weakness. Everyone has a terrible game at the worst time. No one is perfect, not even MJ.
He was PERFECT in the Finals and that is all that counts
Phil is overrated AF, pippen not a TOP 50 player all time and them "white shooters" average 6 points per Game
@Notoriouskage1804 Lol! Are comments like these suppose to discredit MJ or something? You realize basketball is a team sport right? Was Jordan suppose to win and takeover every single game, during his championship run? I don't know anyone that won it all by themselves. Also....no he wasn't perfect
Pippen is not top 50 all time stop it! Phil was very lucky to have mj and Kobe. No Kobe no mj= no ring for Phil. Phil lucky to have 2 best SHOOTING guards all time
Phil doesn't do shit but run triangle offense
Please do Cavs vs Pacers Game 1 of 2018 First Round. Bron got accused of the same even though he got his teammates soooo many open shots that they just did not knock down.
2010 Game 5 against Boston. He gave up and there's no disputing it and no excuses!
@@billyconklin6020 rewatch it and you’ll see the Cavs players stood there like statues, weren’t trying to make plays and expecting Bron to knock down 3s or drive to a congested paint. He team gave up just as much as him. Someone made a great video on it the other day
These videos should be named how to guard and play hof defense in an era that 3pt wasn't as common. Nowadays most of those open shots would sink and he would have 20 assists
Dom just baited me with the title to start a interesting video series........well played Dom well played
Yes he is trying to breed bronsexuals over here
Jordan didn't quit, he was not open. It's the same thing as Lillard last year against the Warriors. They needed Aminu and Harkless to hit the open shots and they couldn't. But Joe Dumars is such an underrated player in nba history
This is why i love Dom, no one is safe

Good video. It also shows that the idea that MJ had “help” after Pippen arrived is fabricated. Pippen was talented of course, but he was to young to deal with the championship level Pistons of that era
Pippen had to develop just like Michael. Plenty of players came along with pippen, Steve Kerr,longley, kukoc, Rodman...

Michael Turner I haven’t watched the video yet but does it have to do with Lebron..? If not then why bring him up.. and also why you tryna bring another man down in the first place..... why look for the downsides in a career like brons where there’s so much greatness
Solo you shouldve watched the video first or at least the intro. but this is more likely due to someone saying something negative about jordan. jordan stans act like he scored every point for the bulls
Solo watch the video. I was recently in a discussion with a 23 year old who feels lebron is the greatest ever. I simply asked him why he believes that and gave me valid points about Lebron while also leaving out his failures on the brightest stage. He then began to say Jordan didn’t play nearly the competition and today’s game is harder to play in because players are more skilled. To make a long story short I feel like so many people want Lebron to be the best so bad that they are willing to overlook Lebrons FEW times he didn’t get it done compared to Jordans pretty much Flawless career.
More of a testament to how great those Pistons teams were.
lmao it’s @mjs_goat
Uncut Hoops Yes Give Pistons big credit but also there was this narrative by the media that Mj was a ball hog and the media was blasting him for it, so he was trying to show them and everyone else that he was willing/trying to trust his teammates plus he was sticking to the game plan and letting the coach coach him.
Shut up uncut
That's called rationalizing.
Cope he quit
Videos the media don’t show
In my opinion, it was just a case of a team that wasn't constructed well for MJ to play PG. He could really pass the ball, but you need a different type of offense if you are going to have your best scorer also be your main ball handler and facilitator. Just take a look at Luka, LeBron or Giannis. There's just no way to triple team them because those offenses are built to punish you for doing so.
Why so many people act like Jordan started playing in 91. Let's be real he scored a lot of points and lost a lot of playoffs. First and second round. Oh yeah NO FINALS and NO CHIPS. IM Just SAYING
Still the goat
You didn’t even watch the video
@@michaelwoods6272 Just #nuthugging 🥜🐿
Did u go Harris academy?

It's a lie,how tf mj quit when he stayed with bulls?? 🤔🤔🤔. Quitting is going on another team like how Lebron did quitting on Cleveland twice in 2010, 2018
Jordan quit SEVERAL TIMES. He also quit in Game 3 of the 1986 first round.
Any fan who watched and witnessed Jordan back then know that he tried to play a different game from his usual and during that 88-89 season he played PG towards the end to see if success could come with him distributing the ball getting his teammates open they seen success but they struggled against the pistons
LowEnd DrillCityVet yessir. I watched (avidly) and witnessed: what you describe is exactly what went down. The fact that folks even try to argue that Jordan disappeared this game is entirely fallacious history based upon two principle shortcomings:
*1) failure to understand the historical context (as you mentioned above):* His teammates were ATROCIOUS at screening & posting vs physical teams, atrocious at off-ball rotation, and wildly inconsistent / others atrocious at making open shots. Even when teammates' shots _were_ connecting, it was still 2+ pistons directly bodying MJ, but..... when his teammates went cold: the on ball double teams often turned into 3-4 and off-ball direct-guards went to 2 (utilizing switching between offA and off B players).
*2) failure to understand advanced basketball strategy.* (ie _actually_ understanding - which very few even hardcore fans do) The 89 and the 90 pistons-bulls series were legitimately Michael Jordan vs an entire team of Vicious defenders. (EVEN those not directly guarding MJ - still adjusted ALL their defensive switches, all off- ball positioning and all post-side defensive slots in reference to one thing: #23's current location on the court. The strategy in how they accomplished this, was contingent on a secondary thing: the ball's current location in reference to #23.
Those folks who don't _know_ basketball X's and O's (the vast majority of even hard core fans do not); these people flat out _DO NOT_ understand just how all-consuming this defense was designed to be against one man. And Chuck Daly and staff were WIZARDS of defensive strategy.
Sorry for wordy post / rant ha ha....
Look folks, I'm a huge fan of Bird, Magic, Kobe, Duncan, Shaq, Olajuwon and other greats BUT, besides Wilt (_maybe_ tho that's another topic), legitimately no other player in league history has had to face the depth of a whole-team-focused-against-one-player defensive arrangement as MJ did in 89 & 90 Detroit. NO, not even Jordan himself would ever face a strategy so all-encompassing again. For reference, NO... not even the early 90's Knicks series: even that was qualitatively different to the things I described above... (because Jordan finally had Pippen (version 2.0), Grant and some serviceable role players.)
LowEnd... appreciate you listening. =] And thank u for raising the main points as u did above. You're right: people who didn't watch and witness... just plain ol' do not know. Cheers

I remember these years and everyone saying he's great but he's not going to win championships. It was cool seeing the team battle the pistons in the late '80s and early '90s and finally breaking through
Most greats have that “yeah he’s a great player but is he really a great player he’s winning championships” phase. Lebron, Shaq, Wilt, and more went through it.
and broke thru by sweeping them lol
I’m new to the channel and I really appreciate the analysis you bring across multiple eras.
As a Pistons fan, I also appreciate you describing some of the elements of their success (in particularly, crediting their often-overlooked depth).
I’d love to see a video that focused on the Bad Boys. There have been some takes about how they matched up against the Bulls, but I’m interested in how they found success against other superstars like Wilkins or Miller.
In particular, I’d like to hear how they gameplanned and executed against teams with multiple threats like the Celtics and Lakers (yes, both were hit with injuries in ‘89, but the Pistons also beat them or took them to 7 in ‘87, ‘88, and ‘91). Against the Bulls, it seems a lot of their approach involved completely disrespecting the non-Jordan Bulls, which doesn’t seem like an option against teams with second and third options like Kareem, Worthy, McHale, and Parrish. So how did they compete with and beat those teams?
u remember the bulls came back stronger n swept the pistons in 91
@@EricJustice---10-83 I am aware. It doesn't really have anything to do with what I said, but thanks for checking!
This video shows more than ever that you need a great team to win no matter how great you are. People bashed LeBron for it, I need the same energy for MJ.
Too bad the myths on infallible MJ and his hidden story before those dynasty teams are a tough nut to crack.
Lebron anyway is the most scrutinized and criticized player of all time so I doubt one would see equal treatment for other great players.
@X you forgot that Boston developed their big 3 first which prompted LeBron to go to Miami

Kg was traded also
The more and more you watch 80s-90s basketball, the easier it is to realize how trash it was. You could literally quadruple team a player and the offense wouldn't consistently make them pay. Garbage ball
So what you're saying is you didn't watch more than this game.
@@JJFX- NBA hardwood classics is the only ball I grew up watching. So no. I just used to have a nostalgia for it that allowed me to overlook how unskilled and low IQ the game was 30+ years ago
@@noahkatzenmeier9576 If that's true and you know basketball I have a hard time believing that. There has always been bad games. Hell, even the last playoffs had some games that were so bad it was hard to watch.
Obviously there's differences between eras coming down to rule changes and the meta but saying the late 80's and 90's was low IQ, unskilled ball is just absurd. Overall shot percentages haven't changed much despite the modern restrictions on defense. They shoot a lot more 3s but at the cost of many having a weaker mid-range.
They could be much more physical back then whereas now they have to open the floor and barely even bother with offensive rebounds much of the time. Flopping always happened but nowhere near what we see now. It's so common they actually had to add flopping-related rules. Every season there's a montage of ghost fouls that we rarely saw back then.
Good thing we dont have social media back in the day because now Lebron gets criticized a lot for being passive.
Also proof Jordan blaming other players for the Bulls losing

@Big_300 That's THE EXACT SAME THING LEBRON HAS GONE THROUGH FOR 17 YEARS
3:36 and thus the NBA created the illegal defense rule where you couldn't play zone. That allowed MJ to finally beat the Pistons
lol huh? You think illegal defense was created to help Jordan? You know nothing of the history of the NBA
@Jared Rivera illegal defense was put in way before Jordan played a game in the NBA. The Pistons pushed illegal defense to very limit, which is why they were so good. Also set the trend for the way defense was played in the 90s
@Jared Rivera if you were around for the Jordan years, you'd know Jordan would dominate any era of the NBA. When he first came in the league everyone tried to make him shoot jumpers. When the bulls played the trailblazers in the finals it was said Jordan couldn't shoot 3's. He then in game 1 set the record for 3pters. The guy would adapt and overcome any rule or defense thrown at him
@Jared Rivera But then he averaged 25ppg with the wizards after they took out the rule and that was old man Jordan
that rule was in place wayyyyyyyy before jordan
so PASSING is actually a GOOD thing, eh ? mj was making "the right play" ? interesting, because there is another 23 that does something eerily similar, and we shit on him for WEEKS about it. keep this SAME energy when lebron passes the ball because he was trying to make "the right play". i hate HYPOCRITES

2 things, 1st that was the game that Doug Collins fired, looking back it was clear that Doug Collins had no answers to what the Pistons were doing against MJ. 2nd thing, this video shows just how much help Jordan didn't have in Paxson and Pippen and the rest of his supporting cast that the Pistons were clearly not worried about. However yes they all grew up and got better and became great champions but clearly the rest of the players needed work. In comes Phil Jackson with the Triangle Offense, 2 years they win beating Detroit handedly and 6 rings in 8 years!

Wow Mr.Air. quit. I graduated in 89. I'm not surprised. Waaaaaaake up
Everyone has a game like this just shows the pressure hit to him too. He’s not unstoppable
Couple things, I remember watching this game and feeling like Jordan was laboring a bit from the jump. He took a lot more rest moments on defense then normal in my opinion and he just lacked his usual burst. Given how physical Detroit was that makes sense but secondarily didn’t Collins specifically talk about this game and how they made a mistake in the game plan?

As a Mavs fan I can't WAIT for LeBron episode
It should be the one in the first time with the Cavs, he carried those 2000s Cavs teams on his back multiple times but the critique should be aimed at 2009 or 2010 when he went vs the Boston superteam.
When he took on Dirk + the greatest Mavs team of all time he just choked, I really doubt it's that.
He didn’t quit against Dallas, Dirk was just too good but he did quit against the Celtics
I don't think he quit against the Mavs, he just sucked/choked and I say that as he's my all-time favorite player. The only game I think LeBron quit was that infamous Celtics game and when you consider the rumors, I don't know, that's a tough situation to try and go ball with one teamnate who did you dirty and possibly a few other teammates who knew but said nothing. Kind of hard to go full on battle with a few guys you don't trust.

@@kenmarkollano5795 What's a bad series? I hope you're not talking about this Pistons series where MJ scored 46 and 31 leading into this game.
Great work bro!
The talent was there, but the Bulls didn’t win until Phil Jackson got there. Elite coaching got Jordan to the chips.
They lost with Phil there as well...
never knew about this game . nice vid Dom
MJ will always and forever be the GOAT🐐
So?
@@Bigpoppapump24 headahh
Adam Castagnetti .....so?
johnbm NBA01 scathing....absolutely scathing
KCJ can’t say forever
Dom got his ass busted by Mookie
I was there😭🤣🏆🤘🏿
WOW,finally this is the first time I've heard one of these channels actually tell it like it is,PUSHING CERTAIN AGENDAS is ABSOLUTELY true!!I was and am fortunate enough to have watched my favorite growing up LARRY BIRD and of course where theres Larry Legend theres gotta be Magic and showtime,but after those 2 started it,in came AIR JORDAN and it was pretty obvious the marketing machine kicked into overdrive and its no coincedence that as the Bird,Magic and Bad Boy Thomas And the pistons finally wrapped up a TOTAL domination of the 80's,jordans bed was all set and ready made,the league was so watered down by the time the 90's came along,the decade was made FOR MJ not sayin he wasnt great,but he certainly didnt have any teams or players that were gonna take him to his limits,although I always found it odd the ONE team that would have given chicago a run was OLAJUWON and the rockets as they came off back to backs jordan came back from mini retirement and go figure Rockets never got to meet jordan in the finals,no celtics or Lakers here either,looking back now it is OBVIOUS just what the league did,they made sure that their cash cow had to reign supreme to go along with the MACHINE and sure enough he is a F'N BILLIONAIRE and yes LBJ isn't quite MJ but his Machine is pretty crazy too and again this dude has had to have all stars all over the court with him to win his titles and yes Bird and Magic had a crazy HOF lineup each,but they didnt go looking for these players they were ride or die for a decade,if Lebron stayed in cleveland,how many titles??and the bigger picture of course is the $$machine woulda started takin a hit cuz he wouldnt be winning titles and be paired alongside another great in Dwayne Wade and then Kyrie,but when it comes down to it the NBA are always one step ahead of us the adoring fans,cuz the NBA is at the end of the day ruled by the same BILLIONAIRE ELITISTS that run our country and the WORLD and its just set up for them to have a little fun and mak edd the $$$ but also to make sure that us little,regular people are focusing our attn to whats goin on with MJ and Bird and Magic instead of focusing on the dirty,nasty shit that THEY are up to,the Bread and circus
great video one thing tho you said mj averaged 35 against the cavs and 40 against the knicks more the other way around, he averaged 40 on the cavs and 36 on the knicks that year
Can u imagine if James woulda done this in the western conference finals just ✌🏾yrs ago against Denver and they lost the game he did it in? He woulda never heard the end of it.
Good video showing detroit defense BUT,,,,,,
Who ever said jordan "gave up?" who ever was watching the game at that time knew it was the defense. I believe they called it the "jordan rules", never heeard he "gave up" in my life from anybody
No. This is the game MJ proved that if he didn't drop 40, his teammates, no matter how open they were, couldn't make up on points. He had to score cause nobody else could.
Key Skywalker Facts
Facts
It also proved that he couldn’t do it by himself and needed more help offensively. Not a bad thing because no player can do it himself. Everybody needs help and MJ isn’t any different
Matthew Fisher-Auva’a Yes, but MJ needed the least amount of help. The most pip ever averaged with MJ was 19ppg.
Key Skywalker Hakeem and Dirk had the least help
This new intro every once in a while is pretty cool not gonna lie. Still gonna miss that "Why not, why can't i be the MVP" part though haha
Watch the video before commenting
Exactly people are talking crap and they don't even acknowledge the sarcasm in the title...
@@GmsStreetSharks to be fair, that's not sarcasm. That's just pure click bait, good vid though

But I see your point though
Crazy thing is... When I was on Google+ in the NBA community, I brought this up about Jordan & how Vinnie Johnson outplayed him just to show folks that every superstar has had a bad game(s) in the postseason.
Also, this is just a microcosm of what I've also said, Jordan was a terrible shooter outside of 18ft, that's why the _"if he played today he'd work on his 3pt shot & shoot better"_ when in reality it wouldn't have unfortunately. Jordan's game was 18ft & in, he dominated that.
Skinny Hardaway Their protecting MJ like crazy. To me personally, there is multiple goats. MJ has the most glamorizing career. But Kareem is up there, Magic, LeBron, Kobe, etc.
Lebron mos def not in Goat conversation. Lebron not even better than kd and Kawhi. Yes mj had a off GAME but this video lying saying mj quitted,the definition of quitting is going on another team
I’m sorry, I’m just distracted by that hideous late 80s spacing. No wonder the Pistons were so content to double MJ, who else was a threat?
No one lol, imagine if he had korver, kyrie, Ray, Miller and Chalmers and other great shooters for spacing, he's average like 14 assists because you need a great player to knock down the shot regardless of you making the right play
@@hakeemolajuwonBESTROCKET if only lol Korver and Chalmers seemed to brick more the longer the playoff run would get
This is a 1v5 game. The lions are out to hunt and they're only after one meaty wildebeest!
STOP REVISING HISTORY FOR THIS MAN. He was not a decoy in this game, that was a joke made by the sports media after this game. He was supposed to facilitate the offense and get his points. He got frustrated with the Pistons defense early and mentally checked out of the game (aka quit on his teammates).
You should make a living as a psychic, since that's what you have to be to know what's happening in his mind during this game.
The first thing you may notice watching older NBA film is the floor spacing, the Chicago Bulls spacing early in MJ's career was absolutely atrocious. All 5 offensive players were inside the 3 point line at times, It looked like randoms in The Rec.
Agito 🐃 Doug Collins was terrible. That’s how great MJ was. He lead the bulls to the ECF before Phil Jackson.
MJ youtube highlight truthers will be on you for this one.
I mean Isiah Thomas was even said there motive was to either make Jordan take a lot of shots and miss or make sure he didn't get the ball in his hands the first place
