MJ was called black cat for his quickness and ability to contort his body in the air! Almost cat like reflexes when he double pumped and palmed the ball.
It was Magic Johnson if I'm not mistaken. The award was controversial, people were arguing it should have been Jordan but Jordan himself just shrugged it off because he's more focused on winning the Chip.
4:22 I’m taking older Mike, he may have lost a little explosiveness but he played smarter and didn’t gamble as much on defense, plus it made him focus more on his mid range and 3 point shooting. Which is amazing because it wasn’t until he went to play for Washington until his career shooting percentage dropped below 50%.
The difference in MJs complexion in broadcast footage is attributed to the difference between advancing video broadcasting and recording equipment from the 80's to the 90's. Improved lighting from older to newer arenas were also a factor.
There’s a recent story from a former NBA player about meeting MJ with their kid, and the kid saying Jordan was a lot darker in person. And there’s old commentary from Barkley saying Jordan “ ain’t the brightest color “. So, yes, improved camera quality, and also the understanding that you have to adjust for darker skin tones, especially when it’s the money maker.
2:08 Dude, MJ was UNDERPAID for many, many years. There was a point where nine other players in the NBA had higher salaries. For many years Jordan earned $2.7 million or less per year. Jordan made SUBSTANTIALLY more money through endorsements. In fact, if Jordan took no NBA salary his current net worth would be almost the same.
That’s why Jordan didn’t respect The Bulls owner and general manager, the two Jerry’s…..after making the Chicago Bulls organization and the NBA billions of dollars and those two fattys were just greedy and were hardly basketball fans, it was about the business for them, that’s all fine and dandy but when he wanted to get paid more than double the amount of the next highest paid player’s money because he deserved it….tou know what the owner said: He was going to regret giving him those two 30+ million dollars in 97 and 98!!…. What a complete azzhole!!!
Total disrespect for Wilt Chamberlain. Wilt had a year where he AVERAGED 50ppg. Also Wilt shot well over 50% and was the best rebounder in History. Wilt was possibly the best shot-blocker in history too (blocks weren't recorded when he played). Also, when Wilt joined the Lakers who had two of the top scorers in history (Elgin Baylor & Jerry West) he was told to rebound and defend so his scoring decreased significantly yet he STILL had a career average of 30ppg.
@@Jeremy-y5f What are you talking about? Karl Malone, LeBron James both have the same type of physical advantages. Do we take their accomplishments with a grain of salt?
@@williamwalsh1533 stop it. They don't have the same advantages Wilt had over his opponents back in the 60's, with only like 10 teams and very little athleticism. Cmon man how can u not see the difference 🤦🏾
@@williamwalsh1533 yes I do. I never said there were no great players back then. But you are either trolling or delusional if you seriously can't see the difference
I'll take any version of Mike over anyone else. Which one I have determines who else is on the team though. He adapted, changed and improved his entire career. Even as a Wizard he was 🐐
Dude in the video is wrong, center's height average in the 60s was 6'10". In todays game it went up by 1 inch at the tallest year. People have to stop with these wilt narratives.
@bwink23 you serious? This is a legit question cause it's dumb. Wilt, russell, nate Thurmond, walt Bellamy, jerry Lucas, Willis Reed, Wayne embry, wes unseld, clyde lovelette. You also have to take note that players were measured without shoes back then so it was their real height. Wilt is taller than 7'1" and so is everyone else with shoes.
Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley and Karl Malone won MVPs that could have gone to Jordan. The year Magic won it his team had a better record and the Lakers won the title. The years that Barkley and Malone won it, they led their teams to the best records but both their teams lost to Jordan in the Finals.
Jordan making more money than his team combined is massively exaggerated!! In contract money Pippen made more than Jordan!! Jordan massed his riches from endorsements, business dealings and investments!! That's pointed out in "The Last Dance" documentary
Charles Barkley Magic Johnson Karl Malone won an MVP over MJ in the NBA, but MJ has more MVPS than Bird Magic Shaq Hakeem Karl Malone Charles Barkley David Robinson
#1 offense & defense Jordan #2 Hakeem the Dream Olajuwon, especially in 94-95. Olajuwon won 2 rings & 2 finals mvps while Jordan was retired the first time
video should start right away. we see the title. no one explaining stuff, no one sticking their face in there scratching their nose asking for likes and subs. I lasted 25 seconds. before the content was even there. sad shit.
Wtf ...Bulls win only 1 game against Bird Celtics+ Celtics defeated Bulls on MJ best season...he got his 1st ring only when Bird was not on his way coz of traumas. 30points ...bla bla bla Bird for Bird and other great there was only 1 important stat...and that was win😂

Thx😊
Early mike for dominance... Older mike for rings
str8 fax no cap
what does cap mean?
🐐
Mike’s skin tone changes depending on how much sun he got playing golf😳

@williamwalsh1533 this is so true my dude. Just for example, Jordan Brand made $7B for Nike last year but LeBron’s brand only made $340 Million.
Yep, he just got that money when their contract is over. 99 they offered him 50 million and he refused
🔥🎆🎆🎆

Love your show ESPN n o r Fox Sports will never show those facts on their shows about the real goat Michael Jeffrey Jordan
Jordon was the MVP for every Finals he played. He was league MVP 5 times
The light skin is lighting and colour adjustment. They way camera worked back in the days was set differently
Yeah🎉
Not to mention he got his jersey retired by a team he didn’t play for. The Miami Heat
Barkley got the mvp the same year Chicago played Phoenix (Barkley) in the finals. Mike took it personal
Yes, MJ averaged 41 ppg in the FINALS, on the biggest stage under the most intense pressure ever. What content do you put on your other channel?
Not sure what I wanna do yet what you think it should be I’m thinking like vlogs and day in the life
@@Acloud1 Sounds good! Good luck with the channel, but I doubt you’ll need it. You’re good at this. Just be patient. It will come. 👍
Appreciate that my man!
Jordan led the NBA total points scored in a season, every full season he played as a Chicago Bull.
(11 TIMES)
Karl Malone and Charles Barkley were awarded the MVP over Jordan in his championship years
I'll take any version of Mike over anyone else. Which one I have determines who else is on the team though. He adapted, changed and improved his entire career. Even as a Wizard he was 🐐

Name all the centers from the 60s who were 6'10" or taller that weren't garbage.

Older Fade-away jump shot Mike.
Hakeem Olajuwon was a beast on both sides of the ball.
Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley and Karl Malone won MVPs that could have gone to Jordan. The year Magic won it his team had a better record and the Lakers won the title. The years that Barkley and Malone won it, they led their teams to the best records but both their teams lost to Jordan in the Finals.
Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwan was just as good as MJ on the offense and defense, so he's a definite great 2 way player 😎
Stockton could be a better 2way player. Max efficient scorer, all time assist king, all time steals king
Jordan making more money than his team combined is massively exaggerated!! In contract money Pippen made more than Jordan!! Jordan massed his riches from endorsements, business dealings and investments!! That's pointed out in "The Last Dance" documentary

Karl Malone won regular season mvp in 1997 even though Jordan had better numbers
I know magic Barkley and Malone sits with MJs MVPs he got robbed of
Wilt Chamberlain was not a foot taller than everybody he played against. People need to do some research before they open their mouth
You can’t be serious😭😭😭😭
Too much cursing by content creator
Sorry bout that I’m getting better
