MJ is a rabbit hole player. The more you watch, the more you research the more you see why he’s labeled the goat. You will find out about stats and highlights that are either unbreakable or unheard of by any player and yet, MJ did it and the only one to do it multiple times. The indisputable goat.
What's amazing about MJ's record is, he had done it at the least time any great players of the NBA did, I am 66 yr old and I am watching this league since the time of Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russel and also I did watch the ABA those times, I've seen quite a lot of great players but there's no player like MJ, he's amazingly great, hands down! 🙂🙂🙂
Amazing what can you tell me about Wilt! Go to one of my Wilt videos and let me know more about him in that comment section please. He is soooo hard to get eye witness information on
Michael Jordan's accomplishments will forever stand the test of time I don't think any other player on any other team can do what Jordan and the Bulls did in the 90's
Celts 11 in 13 years and Wilts indivual records blow that away thats what wont be done again! Know plumber crap either,8 in a row!! Thats the standard! Not what you choose narrative!
@@davidwilliamson2341 ... No plumber crap,they had an all-star team when everybody else had a regular team.That's why Bill Russell's name only gets brought up in the Goat "debate" out of respect & admiration. And Wilt can't even comprehend playing at the level MJ played.There's no narrative needed here,just common sense...How's Wilt's ball handing compared to MJ's...or his jump shot compared to MJ's...or his free-throw shooting compared to MJ,etc?You don't even need to get into MJ having 3-times the anount of championships Wilt has,or the 5 more finals mvp's,more reg mvp's,more scoring titles,etc. Per game all-time at his position MJ is 1st pts,1st blk,2nd stl,3rd reb & 5th in ast. That’s top 5 in every category,top 3 in 4 outta 5 categories. He’s the only player in nba history to accomplish that. He's #1 all-time in P.E.R. in both regular season and playoffs. He’s #1 all-time in win shares per game/48 min in both regular season and playoffs. He’s #1 all-time in BPM in both regular season and playoffs. He’s #1 all-time in VORP per game in both regular season and playoffs. He has the most scoring titles all-time (10) He made the most all-def 1st teams all-time (9) He lead the league in scoring and made all-def 1st team at the same time 9 times. Only two other players in nba history accomplished that for a combined total of 3 times. Kobe twice,Jerry West once. MJ has the most trophies all-time with 22 in 1,072 games. For context Bill Russell and his 11 championships is 2nd all-time with 17 trophies in 963 games. Lebron is 3rd all-time with 16 trophies in 1,421 games so far. Kareem is 4th all-time with 15 trophies in 1,560 games. Wilt and his 72 records is 10th all-time with 9 trophies in 1,045 games. MJ is the best & most complete player in nba history.He's the Goat. (**Trophies are championships,finals mvp's,reg mvp's,ROY,DPOY,etc all counted up together)
@@brookemcneal147 who has the most nba records well you should know that its Wilt with 72 68 by hisself whats MJ hold around 20 you will have to break out the record book you would be posting for a day!

Saying that, the best player in my eyes is MJ everything you posted l know! My deal today is know one in todays game is in the top10! My opinion! Any one that has and opinion is just that an opinion! Good luck arguing with todays media and unknowledgable youth!
@@davidwilliamson2341 ... I acknowledged Wilt's records,championships,finals mvp's,reg mvp's and his ROY? I posted pts,ast,reb,stl & blk's for a SG. Everything else i posted (that you didn't acknowledge) is an all-time stat regardless of position. Feel free to post everything possible about Wilt.It's not just about individual record/stats... Team success,or the result of your individual number's is a big part of the equation as well as a player's actual game on the court. That's where Wilt disappears from the conversation when comparing him to MJ.
What makes Jordan's records even more impressive, is how many less points were scored in a game when he played, and how much harder it was to score then
@@anthonylockhart6120less athletic? Lol you dont have know idea how hard to play both ways offensively and defensively. You may think todays NBA players are more athletic coz the the defense let em.
@@redrichpader4572 not think I know they are I'm 35 I've been watching basketball for years I've lived threw the overrated ass less athletic jordan era his 6 championships were a cakewalk he won them all in a watered down 90s expansion era
In the late 90's and early 2000's the nba started to get more and more athletic with allen Iverson kobe bryant Tracy mcgrady vince carter lebron James dewayne wade carmelo anthony dwight howard Chris paul when all these guys were getting drafted we all knew the nba was changing and becoming more athletic compared to the 80's and early and mid 90s
And Jordan did this in a tougher era. Jordan, Kobe, Magic, Bird, Jabbar, West, Chamberlain, and the Dream are the best that I have ever seen. Been watching NBA since the sixties.
I might have missed it but I didn't see perhaps his most astonishing record: From November of 1990 until he retired from Chicago in 1998, Michael Jordan had ZERO 3-game losing streaks. 626 games straight. And no other player has come close to this.
Actually in 88, MJ won DPOY, MVP, Scoring Title, but MUCH more incl. Steals Leader, Total Pts leader, All-Star Gm MVP, Playoff PPG Leader, 1st player to ever post 200Stl/100Blk. Only player in NBA history to post back-to-back 50-point games in the playoffs. Most blocks in a season by any guard ever with 144. And for good measure, won the slam dunk competition. No player, ESPECIALLY LEBRON have recorded all those accolades throughout their entire careers, and Michael did all of it in one season. The type of season that cannot and will not ever be touched or even approached
Victor Wembenyama stands a chance BUT I doubt he’ll be able to accomplish this. Hope so but I think Mike will remain the standard for another generations
Even in a weak era it’s been 20 years and nobody has broken the record even if they did he still has 22 more to break just from this video. The goat debate should never take place the debate should be who’s coming in second
As a rookie , Jordan changed the Stadiums less than 1/3 of it capacity to full capacity instantly, fan were so amazed at his offense, they didn’t realize as a two way competitor who was as good defensively which greatly improved because most of his teammates were druggies and Archie’s, so he was accustomed to carrying the team, which led them to the playoffs from his rookie season until his retirement, which as a rookie, he was already feared by most of the league. It wasn’t until he faced the Boston Celtics led by Larry Bird and his Allstar team full of HOFs, who’s only game lost throughout the entire playoffs, by the Bulls, as MJ scored 63 points in double overtime, which is a playoff scoring record that still hasn’t been broken more than 20 years after Jordan’s retirement. Larry Bird and everyone else throughout the league regarded him as Air Jordan, The Black Cat, His Air-ness, and most respectfully Black Jesus
the Celtics never lost to the bulls in their championship runs. As far as the 63pt game after that game Bird called Jordan god in disguise but they still beat the bulls. Bird always acknowledged that individually Jordan was in a league by himself but he and magic always had better teams that's why they always beat MJs teams in the 80's
If you miss a game due to load management, you should give your paycheck up for that game. It was so much harder in Jordan's era to play every game due to physicality of the game. Just watch those games against pistons getting knocked to ground when going to hoop.
You’re 100% true. Records are meant to be broken. But the key is do you think one player will be able to break all those records? A single player? So let’s say every one of those records get broken each by a different player. Would you consider being 2nd in every one of those categories, than having 1 or say 5 categories being 1st and other categories not mentioned? So I feel even if all his records are broken, since he has so many of, as long as it’s not by one player, he’d still totally be the best basketball player
Some of his scoring records will obviously be broken. They just won't carry the same weight in an era where defense really isn't played to the same degree.
The fact it's still not broken is amazing. This run up and down the floor and take turns in throwing a ball until the end and see who got most points then is just not a game anymore. Back then people were really fighting to score. There's no defense in today's game.

A bro. This was a great video, keep them coming. The highlight of this video for me is @ 6mins. At 6mins, you were impressed, your face, the respect, you understood what we see in his "Airness" loyalist see. It's unbelievable what you have seen. The crazy thing, he just better and better. It's unreal.
MJ has the most seasons where he won MVP and FMVP, led the regular season and playoffs in scoring, and was first team all defense. He did this 4 times; no one else has done this once.
it does not matter if any of these records are broken. what matter is can any ONE person beat all his records. until that happens i really do not have time for who is the GOAT
Jordan is the only player that I've ever seen in NBA history that opposing players were afraid to talk shit because then MJ got focused and made them pay. They were just better off keeping their mouths shut.
MJ also has the most MVP triple crowns in a season at 2....the only other players to sweep AS, Finals and Regular Season MVP are Willis Reed and Shaq who did it once. He has the most shots made in a row in the Finals and playoffs at 13 (i don't think this will be broken).
He didn’t mention 9x’s first team all team defense while winning the scoring title all 9 times…. That’s crazy!!!! Theirs only two other players in NBA history that made any all defensive team (not 1st) while leading the league in scoring… Kobe and Jerry west
Another great vid. Thanks. Jordan is the greatest player I ever saw. I have been watching since the 70's. The amazing thing about Jordan in the playoffs/finals is that everyone on the planet knew he was getting the ball, and there wasnt anything anyone can do to stop him. There was no game plan for stopping him.....or one that worked anyway. I will also argue that Larry Bird is the 2nd best player I ever saw. Having seen the league evolve into the no defense, give the player all the space he needs type league I can only imagine what Bird, Jordan, and Magic (to name a few) would have done to todays NBA. No hand checking??? WTF?? Drive the lane against the Pistons or the early 90's Knicks and talk to me about hand checking.....or left hooks. Anyway.....if any or all of the records are broken (which I seriously doubt) they will be broken under a different set of rules that you cant compare to when the records were set. There are some great players today, but my caveat is always they are great under today's standards. I try to imagine that player playing in the early 90's. Would they still be great? Some would I am sure, but there would be some players weeded out as well.
Right I agree it’s actually pretty pathetic that more records haven’t been broken yet given the rules of this era. I honestly expected somebody to break Michael Jordan 60+ point playoff record by now given how easy it is to score in the NBA. I wish I could put Jordan in this area just to drop 80
@@BU_TV Its like they gave the scoring steroids without having to give it actual steroids. They artificially blew scoring up by reducing how much defense someone cal play. My pet peeve player of this era is James Harden. Nobody plays D on him and last time he played D was............well never. When I hear he is a great player I get physically ill.
@@paulyp9853 for years I have been saying how unimpressed I am with James Harden. Even those few years he has scoring explosions in this era first his 30+ points don’t equate to somebody’s 30+ points in years past. It’s too easy to score and he is extremely ball dominant. Second…..people sit here and try to tell me that he’s a better score than Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. I just laugh. Harden is scoring around the same amount of points in some other seasons while playing absolutely no defense so he is exerting all his energy on one end of the floor. Kob and Michael Jordan were putting up the same amount of points or more, depending on which season you look at while also Being elite on the other end of the court. exerting equals amount of energy on both ends. So no…..35 from Harden is not the same as 35 from Kobe or Mike. Sorry
@@BU_TV I have seen Harden step away from the lane when his opponent was driving the lane. You are 100% correct he plays one end of the floor - takes 30 shots to score 35 points. Players like Kobe/Jordan/Bird/Magic were killers. They wanted to kick your ass on offense (embarass you if possible) while totally shutting you down on defense. As long as Harden scores his points he couldnt care any less what the guy he is "covering" scores. At the end of the day I am glad I got to watch basketball when I did. I believe I saw the best basketball the NBA had to offer 25+ years ago. I know that sounds like the old guy screaming "get off of my lawn", but I believe it to be true.
Have you really been watching since the 70s? Or is it more like the 90s? I honestly haven’t heard anyone who grew up watching 80s or prior basketball be that complimentary of Jordan or 90s basketball but I guess there’s a first time for everything.
I feel like 35 in 1st half of finals game will be broken, but it's gonna be the game of ages.. list of players that scored more than 40 points in finals in whole game is not very long already.. now imagine just little bit less than that in 1st half. But still my favorite is Wilt.. videos of his records and comparison to others sound like this... "Wilt holds the record, 2nd place and 3rd place... and 4th.. 5th for MJ.. then 6th, 7th".. its funny to listen to 😅
NBA physicality difference of eras should be considered on achieving and breaking records of players today. Scoring or attaining records are more trouble-free today than prior NBA eras imo
In fact, the maximum hang time a normal human being can manage is 1 second - no more than that. Michael Jordan's longest hang time record - the time when he remained airborne the longest - is 0.92 seconds. That's probably why he is considered to be so great. That is far longer than the average human being.
Jordan was so good he leaded the US Mens Olympics to an 8-0 record and also beat the NBA Allstar team that was assembled to get them ready for the Olympics and if you don't believe me Google it here's the title: 1984 us men's olympic basketball team versus nba all-stars
You could critisize MJs passing/playmaking, but here's the thing... he didnt have to. He could get triple or quadruple teamed and take circus shots all day long and still shoot more efficiently than nearly anybody in history.
This is why i agree, to pass MJ as GOAT is near impossible 😅 no one wants to work hard enough now to be DPoY and OPoY in the same year, usually one or other. In his prime, MJ didnt just carry his team, he carried the league! This was when hand checking was allowed as well.
My biggest issue is the 100% fact that when Jordan was playing with the Wizards.. his coach had 0 faith in him and kept him out alot most games.. I really do think MJ could have scored 50+ and that 1 time he scored 40 is only because MJ gave the Wizards coach an ultimatium by telling him if you have no faith in me then I quit.. and that made the coach panic since he knew MJ was the best player on the team and would be labeled as the coach that made the greatest player ever to quit the game. Then when he actually allowed MJ to play the man scored 40 and the crowd cheered and chanted that MJ still got it when they were feeling like he couldnt anymore. The truth is he always could but the coach was holding him back.
I never heard of that before, MJ was not trash like some people like to make it out. Check this out: Wizards Michael Jordan Was Better Than What Some Remember! th-cam.com/video/ctegP31a864/w-d-xo.html
@@BU_TV The only person who praticed harder then Jordan himself was Dennis Rodman and that is only because Dennis had a obssession with working out.. that was like a real hobby to him.
@@KyoAlexiel Also not true. MJ was the first in gym and last to go. Rodman was practicing/learning the bounce of the ball to get rebounds in the beginning and he did have great condition. Rodman did run laps after games.
Gotta check the top 100 records that lebron will never pass of jordan's . Jordan only earned that money in the last two seasons of his career when he said, " pay me" . His entire career along with magic johnson, didnt take a high salary, got the players they needed. If you look up jordan's salary throughout his career you will see that. He only made the 33m and i think 35 million his last two years.
That’s due to him figuring out early, he would not need a Bulls salary. His endorsement deals covered that. I wonder what that comparison to other sports figures is like?
Jordan is the goat and it isnt close. Better scorer= Jordan. Better shooter= Jordan Better clutch player= Jordan Better defender= Jordan and it's not close. Better passer= leChina Better rebounder= lechina
Lechina, I will never forget him basically saying that he would shut up and dribble instead of taking an international stand haha. Its all about the money
@@BU_TV leChina is a slave owner. He literally went to go play in China when he knew China had over 5 million muslims in concentration camps. He didn't say 1 word. In fact, he got mad a the rockets owner for criticizing China for having people in concentration camps. He pushes the nba with china who has millions and millions of slaves making his products and the nba products. But leChina is a so called human rights activist 😂😂😂 he hates racism and prejudice. He hates and complains about America which allowed him to be a billionaire. He is a con artist and a race baiter. And a slave owner and he approves of putting people in concentration camps if they believe in a certain faith.
No, Jordan is better passer and rebounder. Look at off.rebounds and contested rebounds...LeTravel have more because of the position and waiting under the basket...
The 40 at 40 is possible but unlikely because of stamina problems that we already see and with the new anti-flopping rules he won’t get to the foul line as much so I doubt LeBron will break any of the records listed in the video or the ones not mentioned like the 63 points in a playoff game.
I hear you! His stamina is not what it used to be but given a whole season I think he can hit that mark at least once. This NBA is so catered to scoring. The fact that Mike did it in the defensive era he did it in is HIGHLY IMPRESSIVE, also coming out of retirement not too far in the distance with a messed up knee. Thats Jordan for ya
I witnessed MJ's 37.1 ppg season but more on that later. With the Trey chukking out there, it doesn't take much effort to get points standing at the perimeter shooting away with no physical defense allowed so LBJ has a shot at the 40 at 40 record, although it will likely be heavy on threes and especially also since he's trying to catch MJ. And with Adam Silver admitting he likes the no defense rules, nearly every player young and old have had career highs in either fg% and ppg the last few years, it's just unwatchable, especially with the easy free throws. James Harden won two scoring titles taking 2-3 MORE treys than regular fgs, and with many trey attempts just trying to get fouled with no chance of hitting. I cannot watch that, it's nonsense, ugly, lazy and low skill. It seems a lot of people who have never played are into this style of play since they cannot relate to the different skills and think this type of ball is "more skilled", that dribbling for 20 seconds and taking a step back three is impressive. That's what you do in the playground if you want to get kicked out of the game for being annoying and lazy. Going inside or midrange takes so much more energy, knowledge and footwork it's just a different class of scorer that requires the hardest skills - which is why only the best are good at it. And today's open lane drives are so easy you shouldn't even need the Trey if you are good enough, like the way Zion can get 30 on 60% with no threes. Zion is an 80-90s inside skilled player who is mocking the open rules and if he can stay healthy, more of that type of game will force the defense back in and stop everyone from pretending to be a Trey specialist like Curry. Back to MJ. My favorite version of MJ was his pre-championship version when he was the most athletic and had that vicious hunger. The 37.1 ppg year was the most insane display of athleticism I will ever see. MJ did the bulk of his scoring on drives to the basket, which is incredible since the paint was packed with shot blocking specialists, which took so much energy and lack of fear. But it was so natural and effortless for him because he was just athletically superior and inhuman. And MJ wanted the challenge, to dunk on the biggest guy as it was in his nature to humiliate you, so the more you try, the more he comes at you. These drives created new shots every game due to his obscene hangtime and hands and that's why you watched him back then, to see something you never saw before. The rings, we knew they would come later when he had a better squad but for now, this was like watching the best individual person in an extreme sport do his thing. I would pray that he would have an off jumper so he could get his 40 on drives alone. With his jumper on, it was too easy and boring for him. And you did not want him to pass because it would be a waste of his gifts. You wanted him to score 50 in the air and see your team win. To this day, that version of MJ is demonic to me in his aggressive, dominance and gap above everyone else who has ever played. I'm still shaking my head and it's so impactful it's as clear as yesterday. Also it was amazing in that he could turn it in at any point. MJ always started games slow to feel the opponent out and let his team play. Often times he would "only" have 20 or so into the 4th, but if his team was struggling, he just took over, hitting 7-10 shots of all kinds in a row to demoralize the opponent and wow the crowd and end up with 40. He's the only player who could enter the zone on call because his athleticism, body control, improvisational skills and hands were a constant. And, that's the ultimate difference with MJ and everyone else, MJ's 37.1ppg was beautiful in it's creativity and energy and physical dominance. Meanwhile you have guys like Harden heaving 13 treys to get 30, only driving when there's an opening, and then getting lots of free throws on Trey attempts. And that's the style in general for most and also because it's encouraged by data analytics by people who have never played. It's just insulting and amateurish and scamming people really.
I disagree with you on your conclusions RE finals scoring. The scoring records were for FINALS...most points in a Finals half, most ppg in a Finals. The teams that are making the Finals in this era aren't being carried by one superstar. These records will hold unless the rules and style of the game change again. Think about it...41 ppg in a Finals. Shaq scored 38.0 ppg in 2000 and 36.3 in 2002. The highest since then is 35.8 in 2015 by Lebron (in a losing effort). It's now been 30 years since Jordan set the NBA Finals PPG scoring record. 30 years. Who in the league right now could you even contemplate doing that? There's maybe 2 guys that could "get hot" during the Finals that would be in the position to do what Jordan did...but could they do it for the 4+ games needed to win the Finals? Giannis and Luka are the only ones I can see currently being capable of even trying it, more so Giannis because of his playstyle, but both are limited by one key ingredient. They're not very good Free Throw shooters, which Jordan was. The majority of guys currently in the league that had the chance to challenge these records, didn't do it, and are now on the downward trajectory of their careers. Steph, Lebron, Harden, Durant, Dame, Kawhi, etc have no chance now. The likelyhood of these records being eclipsed is very low, at least by anyone currently in the league.
MJ got screwed on the MVP race in 'most' of his seasons. But MJ took this on the chin, where it was better for the league to spread the wealth around and Jordan fully understood this. The longterm payoff was that the MVP trophy was patterned on his likeness.
I think it was 830+ games not losing 3 games in a row...Could be mistaken. Also just want to clarify why Lebron might break most points in a game at age 40 is because players are letting him score. You saw it when LeBron was going to break Kareem's record. They let him score. No one contested that shot. Every player just stood back and let him shoot. They were all looking. He had all the time to shoot. Just really sad. No competition, it's not a game anymore. It's just give me money and watch me shoot...not play. Or even worse, pay me and watch me sit on bench cuz I need to do some load management...To me the game to day is 2 groups of men taking turns shooting the ball, running up and down the court with no contest. They all hugging each other during games, watching the shot miss or go in together! A clip with Trae and Luka watching Luka's shot go in together might seem wholesome, but during a game and not even attempting to block or steal...it's just sad.
Mj didn't lose 3 in a row in the 90s period. Meanwhile lebron lost 3 in a row 5 times in the finals. Crazy right? But anyway I absolutely agree about there being no competitive fire left in the league. But honestly how could there b when everyone might b on the same team next week. And that's why we'll never see another mj. Having enemies and rivals is a great motivator. Hell he created beefs to fire himself up b it with fans players or reporters he always find a way to get angry. He didn't run out and hug his opponents then talk about how he wants to play with them.
The playoff scoring average is hard to top, especially over an ENTIRE career. Luka is putting up big numbers right now. But can he sustain that level over his entire career? THAT is what made MJ so special. What if Luka ends up on a superteam or is paired with another prolific scorer in his career? His scoring opportunities in the playoffs will be fewer.
If Michael Jordan would’ve stayed in shape, he could’ve won and should’ve won five more MVPs, defensive player of the year award at least seven he should’ve had. And if you didn’t go pay that baseball game, he would’ve won two championships whether anybody says yes or not because it was the Houston Rockets Michael always finds a way to win the championship. No other player in history can say that. And if the stupid management team didn’t break them up, they would’ve won about 3 to 6 more championships before they finally lost and then break them up. If you wanna talk about skills the closest to Michael Jordan is Kobe Bryant maybe not wilt because he didn’t win but one and even though Bill Russell won 11 the league was not like it is was when Michael played which was the hardest era!
Michael Jordan earned all his accolades ! He is one of the greatest scorers and defenders of all time ! In my book , has rightfully earned his place as the 2nd greatest player of all time ! - birdgang ‘
The playoff points average is very possible but only for the minimum games played 10 games which Luka did have but the more games he plays the more inconsistent his scoring rate becomes. 31 years later the 35 points in a half of a finals game and in the years before that game nobody has ever scored more points in a finals game in a single half. Possible but unlikely to happen because of the stage of the finals.
1) MJ, top 1 player. 2) Kareem, top 2-4 player; 3) Magic, top 2-5/6 player, 4) Bron, top 2/3-8 player (ranking him n.1 is idiotic, only valuable if you count ONLY longevity as the higher thing, which is the lower, in reality); 5&6) Kobe and Tim Duncan, top 3 to 9 player, 7), Shaquille O'Neal, top 4-10 player; 8) Steph Curry, top 5-10+ player; 9) Larry Bird, top 7-10 player; 10) Hakeem, top 7-10+ player (11&12 D.Wade and Durant - top 10-15 player). Ranking them on how people generally tend to place them, counting NBA ONLY after merge era (70s). Kereem being the bridge between old and "modern" era.
The issue with those records being broke yeah they may be but only the players that played longer than Jordan will probably get it, also remember labron has played 18 yrs to even cone close to Jordan and he did it in 10 yrs so you tell me who's better
They not playing with certain aggressiveness as before. New rules to the game soft in regards to faults in the game, they carry over little or nothing 😂😂😂😮
That one is a matter of time, I promise! Someone will get super hot in this spaced out league at the right time in the finals. I could be wrong but I might be waiting till my deathbed
@@BU_TV people don’t get super hot in the finals. If they do, the other team adjusts immediately. This ain’t the regular season. A championship is on the line. How hard is it to score in the finals? Kobe played in 7 of them and his career finals shooting percentage is a low 40%
@@massdagod Kobes best chance to do that would have been his 3 appearances post Shaq. Two of which wasn’t going to happen against the defensive Celtics. Which really leaves the Magic and he didnt do it. Still a different era of basketball, and generally Phil tries to slow the game down. True generally speaking the finals should be harder to score but its not always the case. In the last couple years we seen Bron and Giannis get up 50. One of these days a 50 piece might include 35 in one half….is all im saying. I dont think its unfathomable with how NBA is played and officiated today. I hear you on adjustments good point, but all to often we see ourselves questioning these coaches and players for not sending hard doubles and getting the ball out of players hands🤣 I know Pop dont play that.
It donst matter if they brouck the récord the thing in this sutuation is no one is better than michael. To be better than michael they have to brocke all the records one player it dosnt count brocke the record in diferent players. Also remember it has to be in the same period of time. Lebrón probably get one record but no in the same time
Yeah actually. Like i said in our lifetime. I have seen Records being broken in the NBA that lasted 45 years. Its not impossible and the league we have today fosters inflated offensive numbers. Thats all im saying.
You say you believe some of these records will be broken. The problem is its been over 30 years and you still waiting for that to happen. As a matter of fact, over 100 million people have died since 1987 and it still hasn't happened yet. Yes, someone will break 2 or 3 of Jordan's weakest records but not the 10 truely unbreakable records like the one I'm about to tell you. Here's the record thats missing from the video. This is the reason why Jordan will be the GOAT forever. This record has only been done only 4 times in the history of the NBA, where a player has won "all six events"... 1) The Scoring Title. 2) The Regular season MVP. 3) 1st team all-defensive. 4) Led the playoffs in scoring . 5) Won the Finals MVP and 6) Won the championship. This has only been done 4 times in NBA history. Do you know who all 4 players were? Jordan, Jordan, Jordan, and Jordan. Nobody's breaking that record. Why? Because that player would have to do it 5 times, but no one else has ever done it once. 🤣 Now the real question is... When will someone come along and break ALL of Jordan's records? But that's what it will take to become the new GOAT. You think LeBron will be the one to do it? 😂
Well said my friend, well said. Of course no one will ever break all of them, and its a testament to Mj. Well said. Eventually some records get broken, not all, some…in the grand scheme of things time is infinite and time will be in favor of giving more opportunity to catch records lol. Now will it happen in our lifetime, thats all that matters what we are here to witness.
Say why don’t you say your commentary then remove yourself from the viewing screen? You’re taking up part of the screen plus us guys do want to look at you while we’re watching the video.
MJ N.E.V.E.R. had the help Bron, Kopy-Kat Kobe, Steph, KD, Magic, Bird....I could go on & on! Kopy-Katting someone's game doesn't make Kopy-Kat Kobe on MJ's level.....as some of his worshippers believe. FOH
Well, Jordan inspired many, and Mike felt honored and felt loved by the fact that Kobe thought so highly of him and patterned his game after him. The fact that anyone could pattern their game after Mike and come so close and be successful speaks volumes to the player Bryant was. I have been on the record saying Mike is my GOAT, despite Kobe being my favorite. Kobe at the end of the day falls short of Mike as a player and career rise. Who knows what Kobe looks like without Michael Jordan. We have never and likely will never see another player come so close to looking like Mike on the court.
@@BU_TV If he came "so close" as you say, he'd have the same results. This narrative has no basis in the truth. I just wish they could've been placed in the league @ the same time. Then you would've seen how far superior MJ's game was. Mentally, MJ was worlds apart from Kopy-Kat Kobe. Look @ all the [accomplishments] that MJ has in comparison to Kopy-Kat. He stole MJ's patterns of speech, his walk, parts of his game. Jus RIDICULOUS!!!
lol, records come and go for some things, they may and can be broken at some point in the future,,, BUT as of TODAY DATE you're wrong. we can disagree about who or when but as of TODAY'S date, they have not nor will be broken.
Bro quit trying to disagree. Just going to see if it what it is. The man is the goat and those records are never be touched because no one has that drive anymore at all period
@@BU_TV They don't have it in them to do that. The last player that had it in them to do that was Dwyane Wade because it's going to take more than three-pointers just to do that. He is the last capable player of doing that Dwyane Wade. He was unstoppable and retired in his prime
@@BU_TV yeah man. Did you see that last game that man played in the Miami? That's what I call retirement. Everything else he was just hanging on in the lead just to get a little more money to me. Dwayne Wade's retirement started when he left the Miami heat. Look at his last game there he the last player that's capable of doing that was capable
They forgot to mention that in 1988 Michael Jordan also won the dunk contest, along with scoring title, MVP, DPOY
And led the league in steals as well.
And allstar mvp
Hello! this in itself besides the comments above ^^ will never be broken how bout that for argument sake
Also league steals and minutes per game leader
what a ridiculous season that was..
Was that same one where he played PG for 15 games and averaged triple doubles over 30 pts?
MJ is a rabbit hole player. The more you watch, the more you research the more you see why he’s labeled the goat. You will find out about stats and highlights that are either unbreakable or unheard of by any player and yet, MJ did it and the only one to do it multiple times. The indisputable goat.
What's amazing about MJ's record is, he had done it at the least time any great players of the NBA did, I am 66 yr old and I am watching this league since the time of Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russel and also I did watch the ABA those times, I've seen quite a lot of great players but there's no player like MJ, he's amazingly great, hands down! 🙂🙂🙂
Amazing what can you tell me about Wilt! Go to one of my Wilt videos and let me know more about him in that comment section please. He is soooo hard to get eye witness information on
Michael Jordan's accomplishments will forever stand the test of time I don't think any other player on any other team can do what Jordan and the Bulls did in the 90's
Probably will never see it again
Celts 11 in 13 years and Wilts indivual records blow that away thats what wont be done again! Know plumber crap either,8 in a row!! Thats the standard! Not what you choose narrative!
@@davidwilliamson2341 ...
No plumber crap,they had an all-star team when everybody else had a regular team.That's why Bill Russell's name only gets brought up in the Goat "debate" out of respect & admiration.
And Wilt can't even comprehend playing at the level MJ played.There's no narrative needed here,just common sense...How's Wilt's ball handing compared to MJ's...or his jump shot compared to MJ's...or his free-throw shooting compared to MJ,etc?You don't even need to get into MJ having 3-times the anount of championships Wilt has,or the 5 more finals mvp's,more reg mvp's,more scoring titles,etc.
Per game all-time at his position MJ is 1st pts,1st blk,2nd stl,3rd reb & 5th in ast.
That’s top 5 in every category,top 3 in 4 outta 5 categories.
He’s the only player in nba history to accomplish that.
He's #1 all-time in P.E.R. in both regular season and playoffs.
He’s #1 all-time in win shares per game/48 min in both regular season and playoffs.
He’s #1 all-time in BPM in both regular season and playoffs.
He’s #1 all-time in VORP per game in both regular season and playoffs.
He has the most scoring titles all-time (10)
He made the most all-def 1st teams all-time (9)
He lead the league in scoring and made all-def 1st team at the same time 9 times.
Only two other players in nba history accomplished that for a combined total of 3 times.
Kobe twice,Jerry West once.
MJ has the most trophies all-time with 22 in 1,072 games.
For context Bill Russell and his 11 championships is 2nd all-time with 17 trophies in 963 games.
Lebron is 3rd all-time with 16 trophies in 1,421 games so far.
Kareem is 4th all-time with 15 trophies in 1,560 games.
Wilt and his 72 records is 10th all-time with 9 trophies in 1,045 games.
MJ is the best & most complete player in nba history.He's the Goat.
(**Trophies are championships,finals mvp's,reg mvp's,ROY,DPOY,etc all counted up together)
@@brookemcneal147 who has the most nba records well you should know that its Wilt with 72 68 by hisself whats MJ hold around 20 you will have to break out the record book you would be posting for a day! All you did was put up shooting guard stats compared to a center now post Wilts Center stats compared to M Js guard stats when you get threw post it tomorrow it will take you that long to post! Saying that, the best player in my eyes is MJ everything you posted l know! My deal today is know one in todays game is in the top10! My opinion! Any one that has and opinion is just that an opinion! Good luck arguing with todays media and unknowledgable youth!
@@davidwilliamson2341 ...
I acknowledged Wilt's records,championships,finals mvp's,reg mvp's and his ROY?
I posted pts,ast,reb,stl & blk's for a SG.
Everything else i posted (that you didn't acknowledge) is an all-time stat regardless of position.
Feel free to post everything possible about Wilt.It's not just about individual record/stats...
Team success,or the result of your individual number's is a big part of the equation as well as a player's actual game on the court.
That's where Wilt disappears from the conversation when comparing him to MJ.
What makes Jordan's records even more impressive, is how many less points were scored in a game when he played, and how much harder it was to score then
Yes I always look at that. Its true what you say. Dropping buckets in those lower scoring eras always gets an extra nod from us
That's because back then jordan era most of those guys were less athletic than todays era of players
@@anthonylockhart6120less athletic? Lol you dont have know idea how hard to play both ways offensively and defensively. You may think todays NBA players are more athletic coz the the defense let em.
@@redrichpader4572 not think I know they are I'm 35 I've been watching basketball for years I've lived threw the overrated ass less athletic jordan era his 6 championships were a cakewalk he won them all in a watered down 90s expansion era
In the late 90's and early 2000's the nba started to get more and more athletic with allen Iverson kobe bryant Tracy mcgrady vince carter lebron James dewayne wade carmelo anthony dwight howard Chris paul when all these guys were getting drafted we all knew the nba was changing and becoming more athletic compared to the 80's and early and mid 90s
And Jordan did this in a tougher era.
Jordan, Kobe, Magic, Bird, Jabbar, West, Chamberlain, and the Dream are the best that I have ever seen. Been watching NBA since the sixties.
West is underrated
I might have missed it but I didn't see perhaps his most astonishing record:
From November of 1990 until he retired from Chicago in 1998, Michael Jordan had ZERO 3-game losing streaks. 626 games straight. And no other player has come close to this.
Yes you missed it. It is where it was said that MJ was allergic to losing.
@@dervish816 Gotcha. Glad to know it was there.
And Jordan has been retired for 20 years. Let that sink in...
Us Kobe fans are also Jordan fans we just don't fuck with LeBron 💯💯
Actually in 88, MJ won DPOY, MVP, Scoring Title, but MUCH more incl. Steals Leader, Total Pts leader, All-Star Gm MVP, Playoff PPG Leader, 1st player to ever post 200Stl/100Blk. Only player in NBA history to post back-to-back 50-point games in the playoffs. Most blocks in a season by any guard ever with 144. And for good measure, won the slam dunk competition.
No player, ESPECIALLY LEBRON have recorded all those accolades throughout their entire careers, and Michael did all of it in one season.
The type of season that cannot and will not ever be touched or even approached
Victor Wembenyama stands a chance BUT I doubt he’ll be able to accomplish this.
Hope so but I think Mike will remain the standard for another generations
Even in a weak era it’s been 20 years and nobody has broken the record even if they did he still has 22 more to break just from this video. The goat debate should never take place the debate should be who’s coming in second
As a rookie , Jordan changed the Stadiums less than 1/3 of it capacity to full capacity instantly, fan were so amazed at his offense, they didn’t realize as a two way competitor who was as good defensively which greatly improved because most of his teammates were druggies and Archie’s, so he was accustomed to carrying the team, which led them to the playoffs from his rookie season until his retirement, which as a rookie, he was already feared by most of the league. It wasn’t until he faced the Boston Celtics led by Larry Bird and his Allstar team full of HOFs, who’s only game lost throughout the entire playoffs, by the Bulls, as MJ scored 63 points in double overtime, which is a playoff scoring record that still hasn’t been broken more than 20 years after Jordan’s retirement. Larry Bird and everyone else throughout the league regarded him as Air Jordan, The Black Cat, His Air-ness, and most respectfully Black Jesus
the Celtics never lost to the bulls in their championship runs. As far as the 63pt game after that game Bird called Jordan god in disguise but they still beat the bulls. Bird always acknowledged that individually Jordan was in a league by himself but he and magic always had better teams that's why they always beat MJs teams in the 80's
If you miss a game due to load management, you should give your paycheck up for that game. It was so much harder in Jordan's era to play every game due to physicality of the game. Just watch those games against pistons getting knocked to ground when going to hoop.
MJ ...... The best forever!
Unbreakable record of jordan is,Never been dethrone as champion and finals mvp 6 times. He just simply retire after two 3 peat.
I never thought of it that way
You’re 100% true. Records are meant to be broken. But the key is do you think one player will be able to break all those records? A single player? So let’s say every one of those records get broken each by a different player. Would you consider being 2nd in every one of those categories, than having 1 or say 5 categories being 1st and other categories not mentioned? So I feel even if all his records are broken, since he has so many of, as long as it’s not by one player, he’d still totally be the best basketball player
Facts!
YeH you are right😂 essentially taking a legion of players to slowly take down my individual records
@@BU_TV exactly and I would definitely admit that he’s the GOAT no question. The thing is no one player comes close.
All facts and well said! 💯
Some of his scoring records will obviously be broken. They just won't carry the same weight in an era where defense really isn't played to the same degree.
The fact it's still not broken is amazing. This run up and down the floor and take turns in throwing a ball until the end and see who got most points then is just not a game anymore. Back then people were really fighting to score. There's no defense in today's game.
💯
you just really need to watch and study what MJ did to realize why he is the greatest
Love your pfp
Lebron won't break any of them!!! MJ IS THE G.OA.T!!!

A bro. This was a great video, keep them coming. The highlight of this video for me is @ 6mins. At 6mins, you were impressed, your face, the respect, you understood what we see in his "Airness" loyalist see. It's unbelievable what you have seen. The crazy thing, he just better and better. It's unreal.
Thanks man 8 will try my best lol! I cant deny my eyes!
MJ has the most seasons where he won MVP and FMVP, led the regular season and playoffs in scoring, and was first team all defense. He did this 4 times; no one else has done this once.
it does not matter if any of these records are broken.
what matter is can any ONE person beat all his records. until that happens i really do not have time for who is the GOAT
Who is the all time leader in career blocks among guards? You guessed it…
Tom Brady also has at least 23 records that will NEVER be broken.
Always will be the GOAT in my eyes!
Same here haha
My dad was born in 1940. He saw all the greats play. He said Jordan was the best of any of them.
Thanks for the great Video
BU TV, just watching your program this is mind blowing, that you guys showing, your program is good 👍
Whats up?!? And thanks! We going to keep trying to pump this out!
They will never be broken Michael Jordan is the goat....
Jordan is the only player that I've ever seen in NBA history that opposing players were afraid to talk shit because then MJ got focused and made them pay. They were just better off keeping their mouths shut.
Most important facts are how he had to go thru some the tufts defenses in the NBA to achieve all thes records
If you never got to see MJ play, you really missed an exciting time for the NBA. Bird and Magic saved the league - MJ elevated the game!!!!!
It was sad when Mike left
MJ the GOAT of GOATS! Ever!
I like that hahaha
Don't forget his masterpiece 69 point and 18 rebounds championship game
MJ also has the most MVP triple crowns in a season at 2....the only other players to sweep AS, Finals and Regular Season MVP are Willis Reed and Shaq who did it once.
He has the most shots made in a row in the Finals and playoffs at 13 (i don't think this will be broken).
Facts
AS ALWAYS: MJ NO1 BY FAAAAAAR!!
Who is number 2?
I can agree that some of those may get broken as well. With the longevity of players today, some will be.
He won 6 straight championships he played.
He didn’t mention 9x’s first team all team defense while winning the scoring title all 9 times…. That’s crazy!!!! Theirs only two other players in NBA history that made any all defensive team (not 1st) while leading the league in scoring… Kobe and Jerry west
Alot of people like to leave off folks defensive accolades
Kobe won the scoring title in back to back seasons while still making first team all defense. He was the last player to do that after Jordan.
@@Serching4JerryGarcia correct… only other player to do it was the logo Jerry West
Another great vid. Thanks.
Jordan is the greatest player I ever saw. I have been watching since the 70's.
The amazing thing about Jordan in the playoffs/finals is that everyone on the planet knew he was getting the ball, and there wasnt anything anyone can do to stop him. There was no game plan for stopping him.....or one that worked anyway.
I will also argue that Larry Bird is the 2nd best player I ever saw.
Having seen the league evolve into the no defense, give the player all the space he needs type league I can only imagine what Bird, Jordan, and Magic (to name a few) would have done to todays NBA. No hand checking??? WTF??
Drive the lane against the Pistons or the early 90's Knicks and talk to me about hand checking.....or left hooks.
Anyway.....if any or all of the records are broken (which I seriously doubt) they will be broken under a different set of rules that you cant compare to when the records were set.
There are some great players today, but my caveat is always they are great under today's standards. I try to imagine that player playing in the early 90's. Would they still be great? Some would I am sure, but there would be some players weeded out as well.
Right I agree it’s actually pretty pathetic that more records haven’t been broken yet given the rules of this era. I honestly expected somebody to break Michael Jordan 60+ point playoff record by now given how easy it is to score in the NBA. I wish I could put Jordan in this area just to drop 80
@@BU_TV Its like they gave the scoring steroids without having to give it actual steroids. They artificially blew scoring up by reducing how much defense someone cal play.
My pet peeve player of this era is James Harden. Nobody plays D on him and last time he played D was............well never. When I hear he is a great player I get physically ill.
@@paulyp9853 for years I have been saying how unimpressed I am with James Harden. Even those few years he has scoring explosions in this era first his 30+ points don’t equate to somebody’s 30+ points in years past. It’s too easy to score and he is extremely ball dominant.
Second…..people sit here and try to tell me that he’s a better score than Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. I just laugh. Harden is scoring around the same amount of points in some other seasons while playing absolutely no defense so he is exerting all his energy on one end of the floor. Kob and Michael Jordan were putting up the same amount of points or more, depending on which season you look at while also Being elite on the other end of the court. exerting equals amount of energy on both ends. So no…..35 from
Harden is not the same as 35 from Kobe or Mike. Sorry
@@BU_TV I have seen Harden step away from the lane when his opponent was driving the lane.
You are 100% correct he plays one end of the floor - takes 30 shots to score 35 points.
Players like Kobe/Jordan/Bird/Magic were killers. They wanted to kick your ass on offense (embarass you if possible) while totally shutting you down on defense. As long as Harden scores his points he couldnt care any less what the guy he is "covering" scores.
At the end of the day I am glad I got to watch basketball when I did. I believe I saw the best basketball the NBA had to offer 25+ years ago. I know that sounds like the old guy screaming "get off of my lawn", but I believe it to be true.
Have you really been watching since the 70s? Or is it more like the 90s?
I honestly haven’t heard anyone who grew up watching 80s or prior basketball be that complimentary of Jordan or 90s basketball but I guess there’s a first time for everything.
Salute Eeze...I'm a supporter and looking for the 🐐 to drop something ❕❕
33.6ppg for a CAREER will never be broken. Sorry.
I feel like 35 in 1st half of finals game will be broken, but it's gonna be the game of ages.. list of players that scored more than 40 points in finals in whole game is not very long already.. now imagine just little bit less than that in 1st half.
But still my favorite is Wilt.. videos of his records and comparison to others sound like this...
"Wilt holds the record, 2nd place and 3rd place... and 4th.. 5th for MJ.. then 6th, 7th".. its funny to listen to 😅
Look up how many times he scored 50 and shot 0… 3 pointers
UNDISPUTED GOAT
NBA physicality difference of eras should be considered on achieving and breaking records of players today. Scoring or attaining records are more trouble-free today than prior NBA eras imo
In fact, the maximum hang time a normal human being can manage is 1 second - no more than that. Michael Jordan's longest hang time record - the time when he remained airborne the longest - is 0.92 seconds. That's probably why he is considered to be so great. That is far longer than the average human being.
Jordan was so good he leaded the US Mens Olympics to an 8-0 record and also beat the NBA Allstar team that was assembled to get them ready for the Olympics and if you don't believe me Google it here's the title:
1984 us men's olympic basketball team versus nba all-stars
Dont forget, scoring is up 20% today than MJ's era.
Happy Days 😊
I love MJ, Wilt & LBJ as the 3 best ever.
You could critisize MJs passing/playmaking, but here's the thing... he didnt have to. He could get triple or quadruple teamed and take circus shots all day long and still shoot more efficiently than nearly anybody in history.
This is why i agree, to pass MJ as GOAT is near impossible 😅 no one wants to work hard enough now to be DPoY and OPoY in the same year, usually one or other. In his prime, MJ didnt just carry his team, he carried the league!
This was when hand checking was allowed as well.
Facts, both ends equal effort!
There is only 1 player greatest of al time history. When you watch NBA for long time than you now MICHAEL JORDAN IS THE GOD OF BASKETBAL!!!!!!
Wow now people see it's not close people need to reflect on his records how amazing in a tougher league great status
My biggest issue is the 100% fact that when Jordan was playing with the Wizards.. his coach had 0 faith in him and kept him out alot most games.. I really do think MJ could have scored 50+ and that 1 time he scored 40 is only because MJ gave the Wizards coach an ultimatium by telling him if you have no faith in me then I quit.. and that made the coach panic since he knew MJ was the best player on the team and would be labeled as the coach that made the greatest player ever to quit the game. Then when he actually allowed MJ to play the man scored 40 and the crowd cheered and chanted that MJ still got it when they were feeling like he couldnt anymore. The truth is he always could but the coach was holding him back.
I never heard of that before, MJ was not trash like some people like to make it out. Check this out:
Wizards Michael Jordan Was Better Than What Some Remember!
th-cam.com/video/ctegP31a864/w-d-xo.html
Mj scored 97 points in two successive games in Washington wizard. And that's a fact a forty old.
@@BU_TV The only person who praticed harder then Jordan himself was Dennis Rodman and that is only because Dennis had a obssession with working out.. that was like a real hobby to him.
@@KyoAlexiel Also not true. MJ was the first in gym and last to go. Rodman was practicing/learning the bounce of the ball to get rebounds in the beginning and he did have great condition. Rodman did run laps after games.
Thank you for sharing because I never knew that! 💯
Gotta check the top 100 records that lebron will never pass of jordan's . Jordan only earned that money in the last two seasons of his career when he said, " pay me" . His entire career along with magic johnson, didnt take a high salary, got the players they needed. If you look up jordan's salary throughout his career you will see that. He only made the 33m and i think 35 million his last two years.
That’s due to him figuring out early, he would not need a Bulls salary. His endorsement deals covered that. I wonder what that comparison to other sports figures is like?
Jordan is the goat and it isnt close.
Better scorer= Jordan.
Better shooter= Jordan
Better clutch player= Jordan
Better defender= Jordan and it's not close.
Better passer= leChina
Better rebounder= lechina
Lechina, I will never forget him basically saying that he would shut up and dribble instead of taking an international stand haha. Its all about the money
@@BU_TV leChina is a slave owner. He literally went to go play in China when he knew China had over 5 million muslims in concentration camps. He didn't say 1 word. In fact, he got mad a the rockets owner for criticizing China for having people in concentration camps. He pushes the nba with china who has millions and millions of slaves making his products and the nba products. But leChina is a so called human rights activist 😂😂😂 he hates racism and prejudice. He hates and complains about America which allowed him to be a billionaire. He is a con artist and a race baiter. And a slave owner and he approves of putting people in concentration camps if they believe in a certain faith.
There is no point in arguing with people that didn't witness greatness. It's pointless
No, Jordan is better passer and rebounder. Look at off.rebounds and contested rebounds...LeTravel have more because of the position and waiting under the basket...
Mike and Kobe the best
Those my top 2
The 40 at 40 is possible but unlikely because of stamina problems that we already see and with the new anti-flopping rules he won’t get to the foul line as much so I doubt LeBron will break any of the records listed in the video or the ones not mentioned like the 63 points in a playoff game.
I hear you! His stamina is not what it used to be but given a whole season I think he can hit that mark at least once. This NBA is so catered to scoring. The fact that Mike did it in the defensive era he did it in is HIGHLY IMPRESSIVE, also coming out of retirement not too far in the distance with a messed up knee. Thats Jordan for ya
I witnessed MJ's 37.1 ppg season but more on that later. With the Trey chukking out there, it doesn't take much effort to get points standing at the perimeter shooting away with no physical defense allowed so LBJ has a shot at the 40 at 40 record, although it will likely be heavy on threes and especially also since he's trying to catch MJ. And with Adam Silver admitting he likes the no defense rules, nearly every player young and old have had career highs in either fg% and ppg the last few years, it's just unwatchable, especially with the easy free throws. James Harden won two scoring titles taking 2-3 MORE treys than regular fgs, and with many trey attempts just trying to get fouled with no chance of hitting. I cannot watch that, it's nonsense, ugly, lazy and low skill. It seems a lot of people who have never played are into this style of play since they cannot relate to the different skills and think this type of ball is "more skilled", that dribbling for 20 seconds and taking a step back three is impressive. That's what you do in the playground if you want to get kicked out of the game for being annoying and lazy. Going inside or midrange takes so much more energy, knowledge and footwork it's just a different class of scorer that requires the hardest skills - which is why only the best are good at it. And today's open lane drives are so easy you shouldn't even need the Trey if you are good enough, like the way Zion can get 30 on 60% with no threes. Zion is an 80-90s inside skilled player who is mocking the open rules and if he can stay healthy, more of that type of game will force the defense back in and stop everyone from pretending to be a Trey specialist like Curry.
Back to MJ. My favorite version of MJ was his pre-championship version when he was the most athletic and had that vicious hunger. The 37.1 ppg year was the most insane display of athleticism I will ever see. MJ did the bulk of his scoring on drives to the basket, which is incredible since the paint was packed with shot blocking specialists, which took so much energy and lack of fear. But it was so natural and effortless for him because he was just athletically superior and inhuman. And MJ wanted the challenge, to dunk on the biggest guy as it was in his nature to humiliate you, so the more you try, the more he comes at you. These drives created new shots every game due to his obscene hangtime and hands and that's why you watched him back then, to see something you never saw before. The rings, we knew they would come later when he had a better squad but for now, this was like watching the best individual person in an extreme sport do his thing. I would pray that he would have an off jumper so he could get his 40 on drives alone. With his jumper on, it was too easy and boring for him. And you did not want him to pass because it would be a waste of his gifts. You wanted him to score 50 in the air and see your team win. To this day, that version of MJ is demonic to me in his aggressive, dominance and gap above everyone else who has ever played. I'm still shaking my head and it's so impactful it's as clear as yesterday. Also it was amazing in that he could turn it in at any point. MJ always started games slow to feel the opponent out and let his team play. Often times he would "only" have 20 or so into the 4th, but if his team was struggling, he just took over, hitting 7-10 shots of all kinds in a row to demoralize the opponent and wow the crowd and end up with 40. He's the only player who could enter the zone on call because his athleticism, body control, improvisational skills and hands were a constant. And, that's the ultimate difference with MJ and everyone else, MJ's 37.1ppg was beautiful in it's creativity and energy and physical dominance. Meanwhile you have guys like Harden heaving 13 treys to get 30, only driving when there's an opening, and then getting lots of free throws on Trey attempts. And that's the style in general for most and also because it's encouraged by data analytics by people who have never played. It's just insulting and amateurish and scamming people really.
I disagree with you on your conclusions RE finals scoring. The scoring records were for FINALS...most points in a Finals half, most ppg in a Finals. The teams that are making the Finals in this era aren't being carried by one superstar. These records will hold unless the rules and style of the game change again. Think about it...41 ppg in a Finals. Shaq scored 38.0 ppg in 2000 and 36.3 in 2002. The highest since then is 35.8 in 2015 by Lebron (in a losing effort). It's now been 30 years since Jordan set the NBA Finals PPG scoring record. 30 years. Who in the league right now could you even contemplate doing that?
There's maybe 2 guys that could "get hot" during the Finals that would be in the position to do what Jordan did...but could they do it for the 4+ games needed to win the Finals? Giannis and Luka are the only ones I can see currently being capable of even trying it, more so Giannis because of his playstyle, but both are limited by one key ingredient. They're not very good Free Throw shooters, which Jordan was.
The majority of guys currently in the league that had the chance to challenge these records, didn't do it, and are now on the downward trajectory of their careers. Steph, Lebron, Harden, Durant, Dame, Kawhi, etc have no chance now. The likelyhood of these records being eclipsed is very low, at least by anyone currently in the league.
MJ got screwed on the MVP race in 'most' of his seasons. But MJ took this on the chin, where it was better for the league to spread the wealth around and Jordan fully understood this. The longterm payoff was that the MVP trophy was patterned on his likeness.
Kobe bryant is the closest to michael jordan!!!!!
PREEEACH!
😂im going too keep this video so we can come back too this in some years. Mj all day
I think it was 830+ games not losing 3 games in a row...Could be mistaken. Also just want to clarify why Lebron might break most points in a game at age 40 is because players are letting him score. You saw it when LeBron was going to break Kareem's record. They let him score. No one contested that shot. Every player just stood back and let him shoot. They were all looking. He had all the time to shoot. Just really sad. No competition, it's not a game anymore. It's just give me money and watch me shoot...not play. Or even worse, pay me and watch me sit on bench cuz I need to do some load management...To me the game to day is 2 groups of men taking turns shooting the ball, running up and down the court with no contest. They all hugging each other during games, watching the shot miss or go in together! A clip with Trae and Luka watching Luka's shot go in together might seem wholesome, but during a game and not even attempting to block or steal...it's just sad.
Mj didn't lose 3 in a row in the 90s period. Meanwhile lebron lost 3 in a row 5 times in the finals. Crazy right? But anyway I absolutely agree about there being no competitive fire left in the league. But honestly how could there b when everyone might b on the same team next week. And that's why we'll never see another mj. Having enemies and rivals is a great motivator. Hell he created beefs to fire himself up b it with fans players or reporters he always find a way to get angry. He didn't run out and hug his opponents then talk about how he wants to play with them.
The playoff scoring average is hard to top, especially over an ENTIRE career. Luka is putting up big numbers right now. But can he sustain that level over his entire career? THAT is what made MJ so special. What if Luka ends up on a superteam or is paired with another prolific scorer in his career? His scoring opportunities in the playoffs will be fewer.
Lebron james is not the closest to michael jordan!!!!!
If Michael Jordan would’ve stayed in shape, he could’ve won and should’ve won five more MVPs, defensive player of the year award at least seven he should’ve had. And if you didn’t go pay that baseball game, he would’ve won two championships whether anybody says yes or not because it was the Houston Rockets Michael always finds a way to win the championship. No other player in history can say that. And if the stupid management team didn’t break them up, they would’ve won about 3 to 6 more championships before they finally lost and then break them up. If you wanna talk about skills the closest to Michael Jordan is Kobe Bryant maybe not wilt because he didn’t win but one and even though Bill Russell won 11 the league was not like it is was when Michael played which was the hardest era!
wow
Kobe is my favorite player but MJ is the greatest player in the history of the NBA. Kobe is top 3 behind abdouljabbar and Jordan
Somebody's please send this to Lebrick
He has his firewalls up.😔
Jordan the goat
Playoff PPG will never be touched unless someone plays one great series and never makes the playoffs again
lmaao
96pts in 2 games age 41
Wizards Mike is underrated
I agree with the 40 points at age 40 by LeBron. LeStatistics will find a way, even to play in garbage time regardless if his him is winning or not.
Michael Jordan earned all
his accolades ! He is one
of the greatest scorers and
defenders of all time ! In my
book , has rightfully earned
his place as the 2nd greatest
player of all time ! - birdgang ‘
BRRRRRRRRR! Im MAMBA GANG
The playoff points average is very possible but only for the minimum games played 10 games which Luka did have but the more games he plays the more inconsistent his scoring rate becomes. 31 years later the 35 points in a half of a finals game and in the years before that game nobody has ever scored more points in a finals game in a single half. Possible but unlikely to happen because of the stage of the finals.
Like I said, if anybody ever breaks Michael Jordan record, it would take four or five players, and guess what
players arent as hungry these days.
1) MJ, top 1 player. 2) Kareem, top 2-4 player; 3) Magic, top 2-5/6 player, 4) Bron, top 2/3-8 player (ranking him n.1 is idiotic, only valuable if you count ONLY longevity as the higher thing, which is the lower, in reality); 5&6) Kobe and Tim Duncan, top 3 to 9 player, 7), Shaquille O'Neal, top 4-10 player; 8) Steph Curry, top 5-10+ player; 9) Larry Bird, top 7-10 player; 10) Hakeem, top 7-10+ player (11&12 D.Wade and Durant - top 10-15 player). Ranking them on how people generally tend to place them, counting NBA ONLY after merge era (70s). Kereem being the bridge between old and "modern" era.
The issue with those records being broke yeah they may be but only the players that played longer than Jordan will probably get it, also remember labron has played 18 yrs to even cone close to Jordan and he did it in 10 yrs so you tell me who's better
They not playing with certain aggressiveness as before. New rules to the game soft in regards to faults in the game, they carry over little or nothing 😂😂😂😮
Jordan is untouchable. leflop lebron will never catchup to jordan. nobody l never catchup to jordan's resume
35 points in a half in the finals will not get broken.
In the FINALS? Nah.
Not in the Finals
That one is a matter of time, I promise! Someone will get super hot in this spaced out league at the right time in the finals. I could be wrong but I might be waiting till my deathbed
@@BU_TV people don’t get super hot in the finals. If they do, the other team adjusts immediately.
This ain’t the regular season. A championship is on the line.
How hard is it to score in the finals? Kobe played in 7 of them and his career finals shooting percentage is a low 40%
@@massdagod Kobes best chance to do that would have been his 3 appearances post Shaq. Two of which wasn’t going to happen against the defensive Celtics. Which really leaves the Magic and he didnt do it. Still a different era of basketball, and generally Phil tries to slow the game down. True generally speaking the finals should be harder to score but its not always the case. In the last couple years we seen Bron and Giannis get up 50. One of these days a 50 piece might include 35 in one half….is all im saying. I dont think its unfathomable with how NBA is played and officiated today. I hear you on adjustments good point, but all to often we see ourselves questioning these coaches and players for not sending hard doubles and getting the ball out of players hands🤣 I know Pop dont play that.
It donst matter if they brouck the récord the thing in this sutuation is no one is better than michael. To be better than michael they have to brocke all the records one player it dosnt count brocke the record in diferent players. Also remember it has to be in the same period of time. Lebrón probably get one record but no in the same time
😮 your his trophy case is crazy. 40 points mj at 40 the 🐐. I love lbj but he not doing that
I might have to run a pool once LBJ turns 40 hahhahaha
Sounds like you're saying booty TV 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Basically the same thing lmao
I'm watching the video. 👍 Great video my guy 🖤🔥💯
Bron got 4 finals mvp rings
Like your pfp says “no big deal” 🤣🤣🤣
Naw just kidding man lmao. Had to
How can any of the current players break any of the records that you question when they don't play when they get a boo boo😂😢😅
You may disagree but its been 25 years and those records are still records...what do you need? Another 25 years?
Yeah actually. Like i said in our lifetime. I have seen Records being broken in the NBA that lasted 45 years. Its not impossible and the league we have today fosters inflated offensive numbers. Thats all im saying.
You say you believe some of these records will be broken. The problem is its been over 30 years and you still waiting for that to happen. As a matter of fact, over 100 million people have died since 1987 and it still hasn't happened yet. Yes, someone will break 2 or 3 of Jordan's weakest records but not the 10 truely unbreakable records like the one I'm about to tell you.
Here's the record thats missing from the video. This is the reason why Jordan will be the GOAT forever. This record has only been done only 4 times in the history of the NBA, where a player has won "all six events"... 1) The Scoring Title. 2) The Regular season MVP. 3) 1st team all-defensive. 4) Led the playoffs in scoring . 5) Won the Finals MVP and 6) Won the championship. This has only been done 4 times in NBA history. Do you know who all 4 players were? Jordan, Jordan, Jordan, and Jordan. Nobody's breaking that record. Why? Because that player would have to do it 5 times, but no one else has ever done it once. 🤣
Now the real question is... When will someone come along and break ALL of Jordan's records? But that's what it will take to become the new GOAT. You think LeBron will be the one to do it? 😂
Well said my friend, well said. Of course no one will ever break all of them, and its a testament to Mj. Well said. Eventually some records get broken, not all, some…in the grand scheme of things time is infinite and time will be in favor of giving more opportunity to catch records lol. Now will it happen in our lifetime, thats all that matters what we are here to witness.
I see no point in comparing Lebron to Jordan.
He's no where close to MJ.
lmao
Nikola Jokic has been the best the last 4 years, not lebron. He is still the best this year. He is close to catching Jordan's PER.
Say why don’t you say your commentary then remove yourself from the viewing screen? You’re taking up part of the screen plus us guys do want to look at you while we’re watching the video.
MJ N.E.V.E.R. had the help Bron, Kopy-Kat Kobe, Steph, KD, Magic, Bird....I could go on & on!
Kopy-Katting someone's game doesn't make Kopy-Kat Kobe on MJ's level.....as some of his worshippers believe.
FOH
Well, Jordan inspired many, and Mike felt honored and felt loved by the fact that Kobe thought so highly of him and patterned his game after him. The fact that anyone could pattern their game after Mike and come so close and be successful speaks volumes to the player Bryant was. I have been on the record saying Mike is my GOAT, despite Kobe being my favorite. Kobe at the end of the day falls short of Mike as a player and career rise. Who knows what Kobe looks like without Michael Jordan. We have never and likely will never see another player come so close to looking like Mike on the court.
@@BU_TV If he came "so close" as you say, he'd have the same results. This narrative has no basis in the truth. I just wish they could've been placed in the league @ the same time. Then you would've seen how far superior MJ's game was. Mentally, MJ was worlds apart from Kopy-Kat Kobe. Look @ all the [accomplishments] that MJ has in comparison to Kopy-Kat. He stole MJ's patterns of speech, his walk, parts of his game. Jus RIDICULOUS!!!
@@theairportchauffeur7142The best era in basketball. Just food for thought.th-cam.com/video/ZM1BRHRTAdU/w-d-xo.html
The NBA made MJ retire due to Las Vegas betting odds. . .
Lmao
lol, records come and go for some things, they may and can be broken at some point in the future,,, BUT as of TODAY DATE you're wrong. we can disagree about who or when but as of TODAY'S date, they have not nor will be broken.
Bro quit trying to disagree. Just going to see if it what it is. The man is the goat and those records are never be touched because no one has that drive anymore at all period
Its not about that lol its just me being honest
@@BU_TV They don't have it in them to do that. The last player that had it in them to do that was Dwyane Wade because it's going to take more than three-pointers just to do that. He is the last capable player of doing that Dwyane Wade. He was unstoppable and retired in his prime
@@gregoryyarbrough7765 you think Wade retired in his prime?
@@BU_TV yeah man. Did you see that last game that man played in the Miami? That's what I call retirement. Everything else he was just hanging on in the lead just to get a little more money to me. Dwayne Wade's retirement started when he left the Miami heat. Look at his last game there he the last player that's capable of doing that was capable
My boi reaching...these player don't have any heart an passion for the game...we ain't talking about one or two years we talking about a career avg...
