Kevin is one of the realest...knows his history
Always has been, but the media is trying to portray him as the villain
😂
No he’s the weakest MFer in sports history. No respect for the game or the fans
His history don't go back too far
Ha, when it's MJ, everyone knows their history lil ol ladies who never watched a game: "He was the best!" "But them shoes". "Them shoes were off the wall"
KD is a pure shooter. MJ became a pure shooter through work adding arch to his shot. He really was the epitome of fundamentals
And this era has no fundamentals now 😂
You think KD didn’t put in the work ? P S Jordan had better players guarding him and because the rules were different when it came to defense, they were more physical than they are now and there were more players over 7 foot back then.
KD turned himself into a pure shooter with the same hard work..?
KD worked on his shot, as a rookie he barely shot over 40% from the field and 28% from 3.
Really so KD was born as a pure shooter. Dumb ass people.
Jordan was way more than just a "pure" shooter. MJ was a pure basketball player. The worked on every aspect of the game
Personally I think Bron and Birds Skillsets were more well-rounded. But Jordan was the best at arguably the three most important skills in the game.
Scoring
Team Shot Creation
And Defense.
The real 🐐
No he didn’t.. you guys gotta take MJ’s nutsack out of you mouths.. MJ didn’t work on his playmaking abilities or his 3pt shooting abilities.. there are a few players who are better all around players than MJ
@@Dr.J42 best scorer OAT was wilt but MJ’s second and he wasn’t the best defender.. hell he wasn’t even the best defender on his own team during the 2nd 3-peat
@@edwinyounes4934 I would argue at his time he ruled permitter defense. But while Payton and Pippen I’d argue were better, there was something about the combination of lockdown defense and volume scoring that was so demoralizing.
@@Dr.J42 yeah but that doesn’t change my point… if you wanna talk about perimeter defender then it’s a different argument and you’re probably right but overall defender, he wasn’t even the best one on his team nor did he have to guard the best player on opposing teams most of the time. Now if you wanna talk about combination, it’s very reasonable to say MJ’s the best 2 way guard of all time. 2nd best scorer OAT and a top defender, hard to beat that
Jordan is one of the only players I know that went from almost a pure slasher to almost a pure shooter throughout their career.
Àà
@youcanteverknowagain1788 Sike
Watch his rookie season game highlights. He was a better jump shooter coming into the league than people gave him credit for
@@IBdaPrince I would still say 70% slasher 30% shooter, and then flip flop that by his second 3 peat
Ray Allen ring a bell??
KD is telling no lies here ❤
When mj took 2 threes a game for a season, he was amongst the league leaders. If he played today he'd have more dunks, 3s and FTs. He would average 40ppg.
@@user-nm5ry4xt5gmj has the worst 3pt contest score ever 😂😂 what makes you think he could shoot today from a further distance at a higher percentage? sane people call this mental illness 😂
@3rr1k_ contest score? Lmao who gives a fuck about a fake game 🤣
@@user-nm5ry4xt5g ok what about real games, has he ever shot above 35% on 3 or more attempts?
@3rr1k_ Brother, let me help you. I mean this with all respect. Got to michael jordan stats NBA reference and look up anytime MJ averaged 2 attempts per game from 3. He was one of the best shooters in the league anytime he averaged 2 attempts a game from 3. The only response you can have is to say well when he shot 1 a game which were always shot clock or buzzer beaters he wasn't great and then you're making the argument that Steve Kerr is a better 3 point shooter than steph which nobody would agree with because he only shot 1 sometimes 2 a game and he has a higher percentage than steph. It's called context. Context is the most important aspect of every conversation.
My nigga said hahaha Zero!!!!!
In 1990 which was the middle of Jordan's career, the average team attempted only 5 3PT attempts per game. Today they average 35 per game. The point is that if Jordan grew up in this era, he would have worked 110% on the 3 ball just like he did every other aspect of his game. Jordan excelled on EVERY aspect of the game, So it only stands to reason that he would excel at the 3 ball because it's in such high demand in this era.
It's actually debatable on if MJ MJ would have worked on his 3 point shot. First he didn't take more 3s because he didn't want to. He said it would have affected other parts of his game. Secondly he was a better 3 point shooter than his stats would show. He only shot 1.8 3s per game for his career. So taking into account forced last second shots at the end of a clock he is a better shooter than stats show. Those last second shots would kill a percentage when not taking many.
@@jca4343 yeah I remember the interview where he specifically said that he didn't want to take more 3s as it would likely take away from other parts of his game.
But, That interview was a long time ago... The 3ball hasn't just become more popular, It's become Even more essential than a jump shot or layup in today's game.
Considering it's arguably the most important shot in today's game, I'm pretty confident he would have paid more attention to it, practiced it more (at least to an extent).
I can't imagine guys like Anthony Edwards, SGA, KAT, ETC walking around taking 3s all game, Knocking em down, talkin trash and MJ not shutting them down the same way. Just can't picture it
@@Daveyboy_GolfRI would guess he would take 1 more 3 per game. I can't see much more than that. The man could easily score 30+ back then. Add in the increased pace of the game, the increased trips to the free throw line due to the game getting soft. He wouldn't really need to shoot more. He would however have more shooters around him to pass the ball off to when driving.
@@jca4343 yeah... Makes sense.
I believe he would shoot more now, is because it's more used now, back then it was about the mid-range more so.
Thanks Durant... dude is the goat people
Psychology should have been 0 too
That's a significant part of what made him the goat
Real Talk...
The most awesome amazing player that ever played we will never see another Jordan.
Jordan is the GOAT!!!
When he can beat Larry Bird then you can call him goat. MJ didn't best anyone in a watered down league and Rodman jumped teams
He was on a garbage team against a starting lineup of HOFs and he had insane numbers against Boston in the playoffs. You obviously never watched anything and just going off of what someone told you
@joeyy7904 Bird was on a garbage team his rookie year. Birds impact took a last place team with 29 wins to 61 wins as only added player. A ring his 2nd year. His team mates weren't hall of gamers when they first started. It was Birds game play that made them all better. And eventually HOF. McHale was coming off bench. The league was was harder for Bird than MJ. Who did MJ beat? Nobody, good teams, not great teams. MJ doesn't make his team better. MJ learned from Bird
3 straight mvps for Bird. Bird owned MJ. MJ didn't win until Bird and Kareem retired and league expanded. Then Rodman luckily was on his team. Bird owned Rodman too. I watched the games. I was a magic fan. Hated Bird. I loved Kareems sky hook too. Birds the only one to tell you where he will shoot and you can't stop him. MJ couldn't take a 29 win team to 61. Nobody could especially their rookie season. Bird took a no name team in college to 33-0
@@tommymac1967MJ avg 45ppg, 6rebs, 6asts and 3stls bro... the rest of his team was trash
@user-rz2gp2hm9z that's because Bird made his entire team better. Bird could've scored more but he didn't need too. Bird was more dangerous without the ball. MJ scored 63 against Bird and still lost. Points mean nothing, it's the impact you have on the game. MJ 0-6 vs Bird
Can't change history. Sorry
2 other important categories:
Post skills - 1
Finishing at the rim - 1
His finishing at the rim is the one I've seen better than kyries
@@chasmcgregor001 biggg facts. And put allen iverson and lebron up there too. I know mj fans hate lebron but he is top 3 drivers of all time. When lebron drives to the basket and doesn’t settle for jumpers it’s bbq chicken. Allen iverson for his size to finish the way he did with lay ups and dunks was incredible, he attacked the paint with no fear even shaq agrees. But there was nothing prettier than an MJ reverse layup, poetry in motion
MJ had it all but the difference between him and a lot of players is that he had a very high IQ so he can make those Kobe like shots but he was always wanting to score the most efficient and best possible way that’s available in the moment. Something Kyrie is amazing at as well.
Thats right he was a pure shooter!
KD's ranking was on point. Mike only average skill was 3pt where he shot at the league average % which was still super good. Interviewer could have added last-3sec clutch shots, he probably would get a -1... 😅😑😖🤣
I dunno. When it comes to last 3 sec clutch shots, I give MJ a 0 and Bird gets a -1.
@@stlchucko your opinion is very good. Jordan leads in nbr of shots and his fg% for last sec shots was 50% and Bird was 49%. But i think Bird probably took more 3pts, so he was extra clutch for that... And playing in the 80-90s thru those physical defenses, gave them extra credits! Those 49-50% are truly amazing compared to Lebron's 18%... 😅😖😁
@@julienb571his ball handling was average at best too
@@jessicagalvan3358 Yes indeed, he was not great when he was drafted. But later in his career, he got better where he could play pg...
For a player like Durant to say this says a lot.
Only player ever with no weaknesses
Kobe, KD and Mcgrady had no weaknesses in their games. Jordan was bad at the 3.
Truth spoken💯🎯
@@Zero-ef4sc I''m also curious Mrs Repurposed Ball Bag Franken Snatch , do you think you'd stand a chance at bing the new star of Basketball wives ? Just asking.
@@5thelementcannabisproduction Kobe and Mcgrady played in the toughest era of all time. KD, I can agree with.
@@Zero-ef4sc Bhahaha the genderfluid league , um no hahaha
I hate having to bring his name up, but the reason Lebron is not as “clutch” as MJ is because he never mastered the midrange game. In a pressure situation, it’s the most convenient shot to take. It’s not too far out that the percentage of making it is low, and it’s not close enough to the basket where it will be heavily contested. Almost all great last two minute players have a great jump shot.
Exactly! He shoots 38% from midrange, doesn’t have a post up game, and shoots 73% from the free throw line. A player who can’t hit shots efficiently cannot be one of the games’ best clutch players. That’s why Lebron is 19-104 career for game tying or winning shots with five or less seconds on the clock.
Yup. And they boast 50% fg% when it's mostly layups and dunks. Sure it's high percentage shot. But it rarely opens up for a shot
He just went 9 for 10 🤔💭
Yea this didn't age well 😂
@@scooter7423...Nobody say he's not a good basketball player, he just not as great as MJ thats it...
@@scooter7423
A game or a few games don't equate to a career ESPECIALLY in this cupcake era
Kd right 💯 he did it on ppl that wasn’t a matchup I wouldn’t say Jordan is a pure shooter he just the most fundamental
He was good enough at 3 pointers.
His whole skill set made it that he didn’t have to sit back and just wait to be found so he could shoot 3s.
Exactly. Jordan shot over 50% consistently for being the league's top scorer. Also, he's 3rd all-time in steals and could have been the all-time leader had he not retired those multiple times.
I would love to see a prime mike play in this 3 pt era
DeMar DeRozan's game is similar to MJs, so if DeMar gets buckets in today's game how do haters think MJ wouldn't be a walking bucket getter
@@user-xm5du8hu1qAdd Jimmy and SGA to that list of bucket getters without shooting volume 3’s.
Excellent breakdown
Glad to see people still recognize
All you children commenting on Mikes 3 point shooting don’t understand that it was a different game back then. The best 3 point shooters then didn’t have any where near as many attempts as the best shooters today as it was an inside out game. Do some research before making asinine statements
MJ ended up 32% career from 3. MJ could and did knock down the 3. And was the first ever to hit 6 threes in a half of a finals game.
It depends what 1 encompasses.
He’s not one of the greatest ball handlers ever but he got to his spots.
I’d probably give him a 2 on pure technical ball handling cause he was helped a lot by his quickness.
He knew how to get off without all that "skip to my Lou dribbling. Didn't need all that wasted dribbling.like Kyrie. It's cute, fun to watch but MJ just got you buckets. Period. 30.1 ppg on 49.7 pct fgpct. As a guard!😮
@@user-xm5du8hu1qKyrie wasted dribbling 💀 he's hands down the greatest ball handler of all time and it isn't close
@@noopennamesHe’s not saying Kyrie is a bad dribbler he’s simply saying Mike was efficient. Mj could take 3 dribbles and already be at the rim whereas Kyrie would take 6-7 when it comes to control and flashiness Kyrie is gonna be the best ofc. But off of pure efficiency and no wasted dribbles Mj was at an elite level
Jordan was a professional nba player not a Harlem globe trotter 😂
@@Dre_Key Nooo waaaay? 🤯
MJ 🐐
George Gervin! Never forget
This is settled.We're not talking about it anymore.He is the goat.That is it no question.
KD a pure shooter who played with pure shooters. He saw him when he was a kid. 💪🏾
Don’t forget about his defensive skills. 🐐
Jordan in his career almost never missed a basket when shooting the basketball 🏀.In the NBA.
Jordan had NO weaknesses. He was able to shoot 3s but he decided not to.
When he played against portland , he made 6 three pointers in one game and shocked everyone who was talking smack,saying that he couldnt shoot 3s.this is why i say confidently ,if jordan was in this current era now(2024) he would demolish the league like he did in the 90s. He would be a 3 point shooting machine and drive to the basket with ease. How would this era be able to stop him?
I agree with Durant
“Aye bro put on yo shoes when u get out we finna box I was finna get otp”😭😭
MJ's 3-Pointer is underrated... shot 39% in playoffs during 1st Three Peat... fax!!!
MJ ONE OF THE BEST IF NOT THE VERY BEST G.O.A.T.S . of course there are others as well but he was really special ❤
MJ The true Goat of all basketball 🔥 🐐 case closed!
Well said KD
Facts KD!
0123😮!!!!
KD is my homeboy. Many blessings to you.
He’s the biggest 🐈 in sports history
THE GOAT!!!
Larry, LARRY, Larry . . . . . .
is by far The NBA G.O.A.T.
🐐🏀🐐🏀🐐
All the people saying he wasn't a 3pt shooter. Needs to understand the error. Also his 32% avg, is on par for the era he played in. His ball handling is 1. If you can get to your spots with 1/2 dribble pull up or with wiggle it doesn't matter. As a ball handler, your purpose is to get to you spot to have an advantage over the defense. MJ wasn't wasting dribbles.
I agree 100% w Kevin
The GOAT
Question: whos better Lebron or Kobe? Jordan answers: Kevin Durant
MJ ♾️🐐.
MJ was THE master
All facts given by KD no argument over here
Best shooter of all time. Better than Curry hands-down.
Ok calm down
Slide some Bird in there if you wanna talk all time shooters guys. ☘
@@David-eh3ht😂👍
Elite NBA players knows who the goat is
that why many idolized durant his not bitter player giving credit to alpha..
Durant is incredibly bitter. Dude said “why can’t I be in the GOAT convo?” And he hets incredibly triggered when Charles Barkley criticizes him for not winning as the leader
Jordan was not a pure shooter. His shot is adjusted for how he bounds.. vs how Curry or Klay shoots quite fluidly. Kobe is also not a pure shooter and discusses how he adjusts his shot. Jordan isn’t a 3 point specialist because of this. However, in practicality for his athleticism and skill set. It’s better that Jordan shoot how he does, because of how he uses this shot correction ability mid air after bounding up and hanging for his fadeaway.
Release consistency.
He knows Mj king of the midrange lol Mix that post game with that and people wonder why he never shot many 3s that is indeed why.
*"LEBRONZE SHAMES"* - is *IRRELEVANT!* 💯% . . . ✅️ ☝🏽 👌🏽 👍🏽
Kd saying something true.
No doubt in his time
Truth
Having watched Jordan play in the '90s when I was a kid, it's frustrating to see today's players move past their primary defender and just keep going to the hoop..
I'm always like "Dude, you just got past your guy. You're open. Take the shot!"
If anyone has ever played 2K xbox ,or playstation. Ive seen Jordan play in that era He was a made up player on the Video game. Image everyone is very good on the court but he was That much better that everyone else. Quicker, Faster,Could pull up from anywhere,jumping out of the gym. Superior defender.
Jon Salley said 1st time he played him ,someone pick him on a play and he slip the pick to get the defender perfectly,It was MJ. Said before he blink Jordan waist was going by his eyes 😮 and dunk. Salley was 6"11 .
And some people have the nerve to put LBJ over MJ is just 🤣😂🤣
Only thing Jordan wasn't a master at was the 3 pointer but he killed Portland with it.
And this didn’t come from a burner account
Asking a human to rate The God skillset?
y'all still wearing the immortal number 23! there enough said!
what kyrie did to lilard today was done by mj in 90's
So one of the best scorers of todays players gives MJ respect but all these people online want to diss him.
Defense is just one category hahaha. Casuals think defense is just effort and energy it's hilarious 😂🤣.
LeBron James not gonna like this😭😭😭
MJ Numero Uno
Mj is the greatest
Song?
At least KD was keeping it real unlike a lot of these other ballers nowadays who are disrespectful and so arrogant and dumbimo
🔥
I'd put him at a 4 for 3 point shooting, but he was pretty good for his era so 3 is fair too. mid Rangers jordan is a -1. nobody has ever mastered the art of just knocking them down quite like him. Kobe came close, KDs come close, but nothing quite like MJ hitting 50% fg on jumpers when the spacing was ass and the arc was crowded
Dirk midrange was better imo.
I have to agree with KD
There will always be debates between the bias of fans of former and current eras and experts alike but ask yourselves this, if your life depended upon 1 player to win a game that saves your life under the most insane pressure, I bet just about 100% of people would entrust Jordan to do it. The ferocity of his competitiveness is pretty much unmatched in this sport. The man would literally take the tiniest things personally and punish you for it and make it a point that you are psychologically damaged from it. The man was a savage and he wouldn’t be out of place 10000 years ago in the neanderthal days for sheer preparedness to do what it took to be the last beast left.
Nah fam I’m taking bird and living to tell about it
@stolensentience I feel for younger fans who didn't get to watch larry bird.
I love jordan but i neee to say something pat Riley said it best. He wanted jordan to take the shot to win the game. But if his life depends on it he wanted bird to hit. But you can't go wrong with either one lol.
If we're being honest his handles were a 2 or 3 but the rest is accurate
He shot a lot of 3s
💪💪💯
Only smart thing Durant has said ever.
MJ is probably the only player who ever turned a defensive play into points. If he stole the ball he more than likely scored at the other end.
Lebron would terrorize Jordan in a one on one not even close
Shooter understand shooter
Absolute glazing lmao.
He shot 50% because he played against dope fiends and unathletic crack heads 80% of the time. His 3 % was literally like 30%. His defense was "good" because they hadn't changed the rules yet to appease Jordanesque offense.
KD is right about that zero.😂
Ball handling one 🤦🏾♂️ C'mon main: in my Lil Boosie voice 🤣
I'm a huge Jordan fan, but I grew up in that era and MJ was NOT the best shooter in the league, really at any time, as great as he was. Larry Bird, Reggie Miller, Dale Ellis, Mark Price, Glen Rice, and Chris Mullen (to name a few) were all better shooters than MJ.
3point shooter not from the midrange and definitely not off the dribble, post, fade etc like Jordan.
My goat is jordan but if I'm gonna rank his skill set this was my answer
Rank mj - 1
ball handling was depends but 2
defender was 2 I'm gonna put pippen ahead of him
midrange was yeah 0
3pt it depends but for me like 3
3 POINT SHOT= ONE.
🏀💯🔥❤️
SEE: PORTLAND CHAMPIONSHIP GAME.😂
Reggie Miller was a great shooter too
I don’t even know how y’all compare lebron to mike
His ball handling was not 1.. we can be real instead of worshipping blindly. He is the GOAT but doesn’t mean he was best at everything. His ball handling wasn’t bad but it was nothing special.
Ball handling wasnt no 1
Basics bro no wasted dribbling
I have to agree with KD 100 and I'm not a Jordan Super fan
