“When we on the court, I’m not in awe of you. I’m comin at ya head!!” This mentality is sorely missed today. And 1000 percent, MJ agrees with Ron/Metta here.
What people fail to realize is Meta (Ron) is speaking of a much older MJ past his prime. And he’s a tougher cover than prime Kobe or prime Lebron. That speaks volumes.
It's so funny cuz back then, it was the opposite. "What if all these guys actually got along and joined the same team...what would a super team look like?"
Kobe was mad similiar to Mike in terms of mindset, approach to the game, footwork; jump shot form and post up moves. However Mikes athletic ability, hands and strength elevated him. Mike from 84-93 was unlike anyone
MJ was bigger, quicker, faster, more athletic and stronger. That's why he made it look easy where Kobe sometimes struggled doing his difficult shots. MJ could easily split double and triple teams even against big men. That crazy first step is also legendary. Re his strength everyone talked about it. Even Artest said MJ is a bigger Kobe with the strength of Lebron. Same with Robert Horry, he said he bumped MJ but he didn't budge. 😆 As Magic would say, he's a small guy with big man strength. Obviously seeing how he can still body Mase, RIP, on the block..
If MJ entered the league at 18(and not 21/22), and didnt retire for 2yrs during his prime, he wouldve gotten pretty close to that stupid "longetivity" record that LBJ prides himself about. Lets not forget that if Kraus wouldnt dismember that 98 bulls team, MJ wouldve still been playing and not retire the 2nd time around. He was still beasting dudes as a Wizard
Oh let me help you a little bit. Yeah to all you said. But he’d end up with a mind blowing career point stats of over 50,000 points. Easy. No one absolutely no one (well, there’s one person but we won’t get to that today, because of there are reasons as to why that person wouldn’t.) outscores MJ, EVER!! Not even close! MJ was basically averaging almost 2500 points per season with the Bulls. Shooting mostly two’s. With basically 50% field goal percentage which is insane! Whether you include or not the year he sat out for injury, side by side first 4 years, 5, 8, 9 years, etc. against LeBron’s. Is not even close. It wouldn’t have been fair had MJ retired only once at the end of his career with 22-23 years in. Basically there wouldn’t be records to break. They’d be all untouchable. There’d be always records to achieve but he’d have so many taken that it wouldn’t be a question of the 1 spot. It’d be more like who’s number 2 light years away. Btw fun little stat and I love LB, but most fans are too delusional to see facts and always say that LeBron vs Kobe LeBron is up 16 whatever vs Kobe. What they completely fail to understand is that this stat deals solely with who’s team won each time they faced each other and not on who dominated who more one vs one which is all we care about. So let me fill yall in. Kobe averaged well over 40 field goal percentage against Lebron James in all their one vs 1 match ups. While LeBron averaged 28% against Kobe. So it wasn’t even close. Beyond clear as to who was the dominating alpha daddy of these two. Just food for thought. If LeBron couldn’t barely touch Kobe, that already tells you what type of meat he would be for prime Mike which basically was MJ in the Bulls. As an Olympian athlete I can tell you being 44 and still in amazing shape.. Jordan’s issue with the Wizards wasn’t age. It was shape. Sure with age it takes longer to recover and things of that nature but what hurts the most is inactivity and getting out of shape to then try to get in shape. When Jordan retired with the Bulls he had no intention of ever coming back. Also unlike the first time he retired he didn’t play anything to keep him in some decent shape. He had nothing to prove to himself or anyone. He simply let go and became a grown up living life outside of intense training. That’s what made the difference. MJ never retires after Utah and keeps training how he did, he’d basically be the same MJ we saw in 98 which yeah it was a different phase of prime than a 84-96 MJ or 93 but it was still prime bc he was still so athletic and faster than practically the entire league. Look at clips of him running next to anyone and you’ll see. Even Iverson who doesn’t get talked about much but they should, was no match for his athleticism. So from 98 until about 2025 you’d see a different form of MJ still very much better than all the league and dominating like he knew how. I can still run a mile under 4:30 but if I stop running just for 6 months, hell even 3 months, and God forbid I start eating regular American food, it would take me close to 2 yrs of focused dedication to be elite again. Trust me I’ve been through this already. Things rapidly changed for me around 38. There was no difference in me at 34 than at 24 besides collagen production and the exaggerated increase of injury risk if I didn’t pack on collagen. But besides that my body responded just like in my 20’s. MJ was just as athletic. Give or take a few. Dude was dunking from the free throw line since he was 6’3” with no supplements or weight lifting!! If you can’t see how insanely God gifting that is idk what to tell you. It just doesn’t happen. He was running a 5k with just basketball shape in 91-93 in basically 16 minutes. That’s insane!!! His mile was under 4:40! Not even training for track!! Lebron training for it clocked a 5:09 in Miami which is still incredible fast!! But MJ’s natural abilities increased by his crazy dedication it was just out of this world. God’s gifted for sure. Only elite athletes can understand fully what I’m talking about. But there is no comparison as to who the greatest is or will always be. We won’t talk about Wilt Chamberlain because that’s a different subject. But besides him, no one outscores Mike. Don’t try it.
LeBron is not in the conversation. Like Barkley said..... LeBron has played like 30 seasons at this point and he just vanished because of Diddy scandals.
The mindset is the biggest difference between the golden era of 80s 90s and early 00s hoops...No Friends!!! All business on the court! This soft rule era of NBA basketball is not conducive to making the games watchable and enjoyable anymore, and the low viewership ratings are speaking volumes this season. We as hoop fans want to see competition at a high level with rules that allow the defense to keep the offensive player from just dribbling the life out the basketball. Ive resorted to watching college Buffs football just to watch players who give max effort on both ends...its sad had to move to another sport just to get that competitive feeling back. Hope Silver understands the product is extremely bad and that we as fans deserve better than to save hard earned money to see our favorite players play and then they sit out for the ticket we saved up for...cant support an association that doesnt enforce players being there for their fan base, its so sad these guys get paid more than the best players who ever played got paid and they refuse to become as great as their predecessors.
I like how with MJ….you can say he had a picture of “the shot”….and a listener has no idea which one he’s talking about cause he served up a number of daggers
As a kid I used to hate when Kobe would have to play against artest. Used to hate Ron because of how defensively good he was and was always all up on Kobe. Damn I miss those days. I don’t feel like that about any player on the lakers anymore, nba done changed and not for the good.
Lebron is not HIM. He got the easiest path ever especially when he was EAST..

Lebrons rings is fkn overrated, the only one that I would say was hard was 2016, the miami stint is basically kds rings, and people dont give kd credit for those.

@guyanesegal3166 Kobe more skilled then MJ. Plus Kobe drop 55 on MJ. I'm give MJ the edge because Kobe look up to him, but both in there prime, Kobe will dog him
They basically just said Jordan was going up against smaller weaker players at the 1 and 2 guard position and then he said that the 3's were too slow... Today you have bigger quicker 3's Both KOBE and LEBRON faced tougher defenders including the dude that is sitting in this interview... I felt like he was persuaded to choose MJ or KOBE, but there was clearly a reason why he mentioned LeBron...
Jordan still has the highest vertical in NBA history. The only other name you would recognize on that list is Jason Richardson. LeBron and Andrew Wiggins are the highest in this era, and they have verticals 4 INCHES LESS than Jordan. Your dumb “today’s athletes are better” argument has been disproven time and again. The real reason for higher raw stats are rules legislation - just imagine MJ with no handcheck and the benefit of today’s freedom of movement rules. Today’s TikTok fans are delusional.
I don't know that he locked him up. He gave him trouble full court and disrupted the flow of the Lakers offense. Jordan had been guarding Magic, but Magic was taking him down low in the post. Jordan was giving up a lot of height, length, and weight to Magic. Pippen was at least able to slow him down because of his length.
Nah, that's simply not true. Look at their career field goal percentages. The difference in that stat alone separates the two by a pretty wide margin. It's one of the most important offensive statistics. Jordan was also better at defense, more athletic, stronger, and had much bigger hands.
@@DerethACI don't think it matters that no one agrees with him, even though it's true. MJ was just objectively better. FG% alone tells the story. Kobe was not a very efficient scorer, even when not comparing him directly to Jordan. He took a lot of bad shots. It just wasn't noticeable because he would still sometimes make them. Jordan was stronger, more athletic, had bigger hands, and was better on defense. IMHO, it's not even close.
@@bradleyboyer9979 Kobe wanted to be better than Jordan at being Jordan, so he copied everything that MJ did. Jordan’s motivation was just to win, period. MJ was more efficient because he got his within the structure of the offense, whereas Phil Jackson had to plead with Kobe to not be a ball hog and to do things that allowed them to win. I think that they look the same because Kobe copied Jordan, and that they aren’t quite as alike as people think.
The reason Jordan had better Google percentage was because of his big hands. Kobe couldn't Palm a basketball. That doesn't help when you're trying to get contested shots off. Sometimes it comes off your hand run. But as far as defense athleticism, strength equal jordan had a slight, better vertical leap.I about one percent if that that kobe was a better at dribbling the basketball defense They were both absolutely amazing on the end of the ball. I think kobe was a better passer. Overhaul to but they will go down to of the very best to ever play the game.Regardless who you put at one or two I put kobe because he played through more injuries for his career and didn't quit the game a few times
The difference between the 80's players and the 90's and 2000's players... No 1980's players was idolizing Jordan and thought it was a honor wear his shoes while competing against him...therefore Jordan lost in the 1980's. Only time players in the 1980's looked up to Jordan was when he was dunking on them. and even then they was trying to knock him out the air If you competing against me wearing my products, you already lost the battle before the game starts.

@ 27 years old…the truth hurts so you come commenting stoopidness 😂😂 just because you don’t know basketball & a fan of somebody else doesn’t take away the fact Kobe and Kyrie is the most skilled and best players of all time 😂 ….

Ron hite that no talent ❌ can't coach can't play NBA basketball 🏀 a waste with he lakers 💯❌🏀🏀🤡🤡🤡
Kobe the greatest to ever do it 🤝🏾 Kyrie 2nd 🤞🏾♾️🪶
I'm all for people having unique opinions, but this is one of the worst takes I've ever seen.
Kobe ain't GOAT, and Kyrie Irving isn't in the top 50.
@@bradleyboyer9979😂😂😂😂yeah I didn’t understand bro comment. I had to read it twice. Ain’t nothing wrong with believing that Kobe the best player. I disagree but that’s not outlandish. Because Kobe was an amazing ball player. But Kyrie being a top two NBA player over all the basketball players that ever played basketball is asinine and beyond ridiculous and sounds like a troll to me.
Black jesus. You must be 15 years old. Lol
@ 27 years old…the truth hurts so you come commenting stoopidness 😂😂 just because you don’t know basketball & a fan of somebody else doesn’t take away the fact Kobe and Kyrie is the most skilled and best players of all time 😂 ….
@ You are still a youngin. I have kids your age. Being skilled doesn’t make you the GOAT. You lost everyone with Kyrie being the second top player of all time. Have you heard of Magic, Kareem, Russell, Shaq, Hakeem, MJ. Please stop.
MJ DA GOD ...!!...
They are plumber not skilled
Somebody in here said Kobe is better than MJ you have lost your my mind
Funny tho because mj averages 22 against meta and kobe and LeBron averaged 27.
You mean when mj was way passed his prime and the other two was in theirs ? Lol
this comment is irrelevant
lmao useless stat
He worked harder but mj was old by the time he was playing em in the nba
MJ sat out 3 years after the age of 35 at that time how old was Kobe and Bron…. Contextual is everything
You know Ron has told this before and has stated Michael was killing him his ego got the best of him that’s how the ribs got broke
Kobe was a damn sidekick for the first half of his career. 😅 Mike is the man
MJ wasn't even in the nba at that age let alone a sidekick. I still think he is the GOAT tho
MJ 🐐
IMAGING LELAME IN THAT SITUATION.......
Lebron doesn’t belong in there at all
😂😂😂.meta.has no credebility .
