There's nothing that's truly changed. MJ is the GOAT. I'm still trying to find out how LBJ has surpassed Kap & Magic. LBJ is a great player BUT he's not the GOAT MJ
@@EuthanizePitbulls no not at all. Magic made his teammates better. LeBron detracts from his teammates talents. Which is why almost every notable player he's been with had their production drop dramatically. Magic was a far superior passer.
What is lost in the last 3 minutes of that Game 6 vs. the Jazz is that Jordan scored the last 8 points for Chicago. He made 4 big free throws prior, after getting fouled twice going to the rim. Utah only scored 3 points in those final minutes. By the way, we all saw the steal he had against Malone before the iconic shot, but he had another steal earlier, when Stockton tried to throw a pass to Malone, which Michael actually saw coming. So Jordan had 8 points and 2 steals in those final minutes.
I wish they had included that. Because part of the greatness is that he understood he was tired and he began driving it in order to get to the line. Offensively it really was almost like one against five that game.
Exactly any potential goat debate for lebron sailed away after the 2011 finals. Taking your talent to south beach with a super team to lose to the mavs when you are the favorite to win. Closest he ever came close to MJ in a game was 2007 ECF game 5 against the Pistons. I still think that is the most impressive performance he’s had to date.
LBJ will never be able to live that 1 down. He should've had a 3PEAT on his resume BUT he underperformed against DAL. What's worse is D-Wade went off that whole series. LBJ wasted 1 of D-Wade prime seasons
Tim Doyle so you don’t think Dallas was better than Utah Jazz an Indiana. Dirk MVP Tyson chandler defensive player of the year Jason tarry 6th men Jason Kidd running up for MVP Jj berrea leader of Puerto Rican national team. Now name accomplishment of Utah Jazz or Indiana pacer player..
@@bofranklin2944 In every team sport the captain of the team gets a majority of the credit and blame. That's how great players are ranked, how accomplished was their team.
Jordan played against Patrick and Shaq to get to the finals. Now playing Robinson & Duncan is too challenging, even after only playing 50 games cause of the strike. Ok Nick
Patrick Ewing and David Robinson are pretty equal. Big difference when you throw a Tim Duncan in the mix also. Shaq wasn't near his prime yet either...didn't Jordan also "lose to Shaq" just prior?
@@EuthanizePitbulls that was #45 MJ in 1995. He played 17 regular season games with a baseball body. 1996 MJ SWEPT ORL 4-0 with 1996 Shaq. That Shaq was still a BEAST. My question is who would've guarded 1. MJ 2. Pippen 3. Kukoc Worm would've slowed someone down. All he needed was motivation. He wasn't motivated after CHI broke up. Fundamental & Admiral would've gotten theirs but who did SAS have to slow those 3 down with added rest & happy with better contracts

All this talk and people will never know for sure! One thing I KNOW FOR SURE is Michael Jordan gave me YEARSSSS OF ENJOYMENT! I could not have asked for more!!!! The GOAT of Basketball and an American Icon!
9:39 I HIGHLY DISAGREE. Lebron couldn't play in the triangle because Lebron doesn't know how to play off the ball. Lebron NEEDS the ball In his hands while the triangle would require him to have the ball away from him. Lebron would rather play the "Lebron" system where he has the ball all the time. He would hate Phil Jackson because Lebron would have to sacrifice his stats to help the team win.
Exactly. I hate when LeBron stans say “Jordan only won cuz of Phil and LeBron never had a coach like that” acting as if LeBron could actually fit into a real system when in reality the guy literally doesn’t know how to play off ball
@Mr. Perfect Well considering hes has a lower usage than Kawhi this year and is leading the league in assits. And prob 2nd in the mvp before corona outbreak I think that answers ur question.
@Mr. Perfect haha.. Kawhi and KD joined the ECF and WCF champions from the last year, not to mention one of which was a 73 win team. Both had great point guards. Lebron's best PG has been Kyrie, who averaged under 4 apg and never won 30 games before.
I had to watch him off of a Lebron conversation and he’s actually not bad to listen to. I liked him and Chris Carter but now that it’s just him, there’s just other shows with overall better discussions and content.
its clear lebrons the goat, he has 3 less championships, had to leave to team up with other superstars to do so, has been accused of quitting and choking multiple times and clearly has short comings in his game with free throws and his play in last 2 mins of close games. why people say jordan who was a better a defender, scorer, leader and winner is beyond me
In a town like Salt Lake City during the NBA finals I’m pretty certain they knew where Jordan was staying. It would be hard for me to believe they ordered it in his name.
Jordan had to trust Phil. He wasn’t a proven NBA winning coach. He even said, in the doc that he loved Collins. He had to give Phil a chance. Jordan was coachable. He trusted the coach appointed to him. That’s another knock on Lebron and that he’s always carried himself higher than the coach. Watch what Coach K says about MJ. Everything was yes sir, and even asked him to go over moves. Coach K was astounded that the best player in the game in 92, reached out to coach, when he could’ve just coasted that summer.
I give Phil a lot of credit, but lets not pretend that he didn't always have the two best duo's in the NBA most of the time! With that said though, he did have to mesh it together! Just saying if Pat Riley had MJ & Pippen, Shaq & Kobe, I think he might have won as many chips also! But, yeah Phil Jackson is the Goat!
@@Ninjersey1 well working with 2 superstars isnt easy task. Hard to control ego so I still give Phil some props. For now I think Pop is the GOAT bec he won 5 with less. Players were drafted low except for Td. He made the players work in his system.
@@SirCharles824 ... While Phil was an assistant coach with Chicago, he stated they placed Pippen with Jordan to learn the tricks of the trade. People missed that discussion. It also took Phil 2 years, his time as an assistant coach, to really learn the Triangle from Winters.

@7:00, So Jordan didn't beat great centers in the playoffs? Shaq, Ewing, Daugherty, Alonzo Mourning...those were MVP type of player. Let me add all stars type of player at the center position: Rik Smith (who gave lots of problem to a prime Shaq), Vlade Divac, Bill Laimbeer, Kevin Duckworth, Kevin Willis. I add those because David Robinson was out of his prime in 1998. He became a role player after that season.

No, because with Doug Collins the ball was always in MJ's hands. He'd have better statistics yes but they wouldn't get past Detroit.

@@95Dreamshake Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that. Even going so far as to say " losing in the finals would have been besmirched the undefeated narrative....".
Hey Nick, have you considered where the Bulls were staying? They were in Salt Lake City, Utah! Let me say it again ". . . the Chicago Bulls in Salt Lake City, Utah !" Everyone in the city was probably aware where Jordan and the Bulls were staying during their visit and even though their phone number(s) may have been unknown any food going into the hotel where they were staying was going to be tainted is my guess. They were just lucky the pizza "only" got him sick!
It’s plausible the Bulls win the next title. The season was 50 games and most teams lost because they were out of shape. The Spurs beat a Knicks team that shouldn’t have been there. And it would have been fitting to pass the torch to Kobe.
Nick called Jordan best game with the bulls a game that didn't evolve around overall stats but EVERY game Nick said was LeBron best playoff games evolved around his OVERALL STATS LoL
Bringing up the coming Spurs Dynasty is a fair point Were the Bills, after winning 3 rings, going to be hungry enough to beat two all-time great bigs like Robinson and Duncan, without a big of their own, in The Finals? I can definitely see the Spurs winning that one
Nick Wrights take on Jordans best game played was the last Bulls game SMH no that was barely average at best for a MJ game. Rodman would of been fine Pip would of stayed and the Bulls get atleast 1 more Thats what made MJ BEYOND SPECIAL every peice was changed on his three peats not named Pippen. New peices no problem AND imagine if Pip was traded 4 T Mac. Oh my
Phil Jackson won his first 6 with Jordan and the triangle. Then won more with a Jordan like player in Kobe. If Jordan wasn’t there how great of a coach would Phil had been? Definitely would have won but not 11 championships tho.
8:43-Nick, you are wrong, Phil Jackson has more rings than Bill Russell. Bill has 11 championships, Phil has 11 coaching championships but remember Phil played for those Knicks teams that won their only chanpionships. I know he was on the 1973 team and believe he was also on the 1970 team, on the roster but did not played. Phil has at least 12 or 13 rings.
Bill B. is the greatest tactician of all time. Phil is the greatest manager of egos of all time. Before he arrived in CHI, MJ was Allen Iverson with better defense. He only became MJ when Phil told him he would keep being bounced out of the playoffs unless he became a team player. Then, Phil went to LA and did the same thing w Kobe.
Did Nick Wright just say the Bulls never never had to deal with a great center? That’s such a stupid point. How many centers did Jordan’s Bulls destroy every year? ...🤦🏾♂️
Adding to that commentary I'd have to say it had to be his single greatest game of his career because he knew that it was over. Had the possibility for a continuation been on everybody's mind I don't think we would have seen some of the electricity that came out of that game. And if that's not enough single greatest game this possibility that they could have gone for a 7th and won
Jordan is The Clear Goat and it's not even close. Jordan had to beat the Best during a era of the toughest and Most physical defense and play and still Jordan had 2 dynasties and all in 1 decade! Facts!
@@natejones8539 how u figure that? 5 games 🤣😂🤣😂 not happening. CHI 4-2. But I can kinda see where u going with it tho. A motivated Worm, Pippen, Phil & MJ? U might be right
ppl over rate phil jackson, jerry Krause and who ever was on bull!! ppl don't understand without MJ! phil isn't phil or jerry isn't jerry or even pippen isn't pippen of all results! MJ would've won championship with or without phil, pippen or whoever!!
Hey Nick Wrong. Why don't coach Jackson just coach everyone so they all can win championships 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Now your lame excuse is that LeCramp didn't have a good coach 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nick is so happy that MJ didn't get his 7th championship because that would really be a loonnggg reach for his LB to catch, thus dampen the debate about LB being the goat
Stockton scored 10 miserable points that night. So disapointed. And got rid of ball so fast for Malone while MJ was right there. And Bavetta with that invalid calls on Eisley and Harper. That should have been game 7.
Nick would say robinson and duncan would be waiting for them then shaq and for some reason couldn't mention kobe .. that's just pure hate for kobe and jordan ..the guy lacks maturity
The best game he ever played was game 6vs Utah? Huh? No. Not even close. There's only about 200 other games in there that were better. Jordan left his man for the steal on the post, all the time. That wasn't anything new. Maybe nick needs to fire up TH-cam, jump on a treadmill, and watch a few more games from the 90s.
Nick Jedi mind tricking Broussard. "Jordans best game, he went 45-1-1 going 15-35 from the field". Lol. Nick stopped himself from saying, " and he carried them by going 6-29 to end the game". LMAO.
if the whole team stayed forthe 7th title or more, a Lakers dynasty] will prob never gonna happen bec there is no Phil Jackson & Mike for sure will never gonna give advise/guide to a young Kobe.
Nick should look up Red Auerbach. Phil Jackson may be the best but it is close. Bill Russell wouldn’t have had all those titles or have ever coached without the influence of Auerbach.
Hold on; Broussard said that Orlando had Shaq and 3 point shooting. Did they shoot 3's or not??? Make up your minds people. And no, Ewing was on a team with no shooting and Shaq was young, not LA Shaq.
Does Kevin Wilde even have an opinion or does he get paid to agree with Nick. I swear been watching some of these First Things First videos and it seems he is just there to nod.
Haha Nick dats WHERE you stay in the conversation with stats u r too young to know Michael mind is about winning his desire to win Duncan them would have only make HIM strive harder and dats WHERE u can't comprehend U could only relate to stats ,dats how you stay relevant
I'm with Nick on the Finals thing ... WTF is with everyone thinking losing in the Finals is worse than not making it? Seriously how is 6-0 better than 6-1?
It doesn't make sense to me though. People think Montana being benched in a Wildcard for playing so poorly is better than him playing great and carrying his team to the SB and losing a close game. It's undeniably a worse performance by the player but it's better to be worse? Jordan couldn't make it past the first round but that's better than him having an undeniably better performance and making it to the Finals and losing a close series? It doesn't make sense. Stupidity from people.
@@Kefka2010 no if you dont add context it makes the thing stupid once we add context in details we see why like its ignorant to be a fan of the game and leave stuff out
@@christophergraves3113 Context like being benched in the Wildcards and going 3-0 in the first round? Seems like playing better and making the next round of playoffs would be better and making the Finals/SB and losing would be 100% better.
Duncan was young and Pippen played all 50 games that next season and posted good numbers. A well-rested Bulls team probably lose 5-10 games and run through the playoffs easily but then everyone would want to put an asterisk next to that season to trivialize Jordan and the Bulls.
Nick: Everybody thinks I hate MJ, but MJ made me love basketball... Also Nick: I'm gonna knock MJ at every turn, even if it's not the topic, including the flu game.
Did nick just say the bulls never played a great big?? They played Kareem and magic in the finals? And if that’s not good enough for you they played Malone who’s just the 3rd all time leading scorer. What does nick mean the bulls never saw a dominant big?
Nick Wright is most deluded sports writer on planet! Bulls would lose to spurs because they never had to beat a team in finals with great centre! First, Robinson was no longer great from 98, second Bulls went through Ewing, Mourning, Shaq in the playoffs!

@@cheetosleopard9861 Worm would've slowed down Fundamental BUT Admiral would've gotten his. The real question is who would've stopped
1. MJ
2. Pippen
3. Kukoc
They had NOBODY that could've held any of them
Shaun Phillips all the players you named would have to start hitting a whole lot of 3s and mid range cause no one was getting into that paint with the twin towers there
@@cheetosleopard9861 u said nobody would've stopped Fundamental, I'm asking u, who's stopping
1. MJ
2. Pippen
3. Kukoc
Who u got?
1. Big Shot Bob
2. Sean Elliot
3. Bruce Bowen
Plus that means that Steve Kerr would've stayed with CHI. Plus they would've had extra rest because of the strike season with only 50 games. C'mon now. CHI 4-2
Chris Broussard is the only reason I'm here.. Chris and Rob Parker needs that time slot..
MJ WINNING AT ANY COST💪🏾👑👑👑👑👑👑
Waaaw nick wright finally giving MJ his credit.
And giving him a backhanded compliment saying they would have lost the finals next year and bring up lebron indirectly.. 😔
@@95Dreamshake Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that. Even going so far as to say " losing in the finals would have been besmirched the undefeated narrative....".
He never denied that MJ was the greatest ever
besides Lebron.
@@95Dreamshake thank you sir Nick wright is so pathetic
Hey Nick, have you considered where the Bulls were staying? They were in Salt Lake City, Utah! Let me say it again ". . . the Chicago Bulls in Salt Lake City, Utah !" Everyone in the city was probably aware where Jordan and the Bulls were staying during their visit and even though their phone number(s) may have been unknown any food going into the hotel where they were staying was going to be tainted is my guess. They were just lucky the pizza "only" got him sick!
It’s plausible the Bulls win the next title. The season was 50 games and most teams lost because they were out of shape. The Spurs beat a Knicks team that shouldn’t have been there. And it would have been fitting to pass the torch to Kobe.
The debate is over between MJ and LeBron! 6 championships to 3, 6 final MVP to 3, 10 scoring titles to 1, 2 slam dunk contest to none!
Nick called Jordan best game with the bulls a game that didn't evolve around overall stats but EVERY game Nick said was LeBron best playoff games evolved around his OVERALL STATS LoL
greatest and best are different
Bringing up the coming Spurs Dynasty is a fair point
Were the Bills, after winning 3 rings, going to be hungry enough to beat two all-time great bigs like Robinson and Duncan, without a big of their own, in The Finals? I can definitely see the Spurs winning that one
Well, if the coach is in Chicago instead of Los Angeles the bulls still on top. Duncan was great, but that win in 1999 was a turning point.
Nick the Geek who never played any spirts wrong again
This is the first time I'm agreeing with Nick Wright.
Nick Wrights take on Jordans best game played was the last Bulls game
SMH
no that was barely average at best for a MJ game. Rodman would of been fine Pip would of stayed and the Bulls get atleast 1 more
Thats what made MJ BEYOND SPECIAL
every peice was changed on his three peats not named Pippen. New peices no problem AND imagine if Pip was traded 4 T Mac. Oh my
Phil Jackson won his first 6 with Jordan and the triangle. Then won more with a Jordan like player in Kobe. If Jordan wasn’t there how great of a coach would Phil had been? Definitely would have won but not 11 championships tho.
8:43-Nick, you are wrong, Phil Jackson has more rings than Bill Russell. Bill has 11 championships, Phil has 11 coaching championships but remember Phil played for those Knicks teams that won their only chanpionships. I know he was on the 1973 team and believe he was also on the 1970 team, on the roster but did not played. Phil has at least 12 or 13 rings.
Bill B. is the greatest tactician of all time. Phil is the greatest manager of egos of all time. Before he arrived in CHI, MJ was Allen Iverson with better defense. He only became MJ when Phil told him he would keep being bounced out of the playoffs unless he became a team player. Then, Phil went to LA and did the same thing w Kobe.
Maybe the pizza place was closed like everywhere else so they played the "it's for Michael Jordan" card on them so they would make a pizza for him.
his security used alias to order pizza but somehow they still know its mj...
Nick your facts are so incomplete
Game 6 was not the single greatest game he played in Chicago. Jordan has at least 10 better games.
Did Nick Wright just say the Bulls never never had to deal with a great center? That’s such a stupid point. How many centers did Jordan’s Bulls destroy every year? ...🤦🏾♂️
Nick, you mean, 'with respect to Red'
Uh Phil didn’t win anything in the nba until he coached Michael
Adding to that commentary I'd have to say it had to be his single greatest game of his career because he knew that it was over. Had the possibility for a continuation been on everybody's mind I don't think we would have seen some of the electricity that came out of that game. And if that's not enough single greatest game this possibility that they could have gone for a 7th and won
They need to bring back giving out mvp before playoff game
Jordan is The Clear Goat and it's not even close. Jordan had to beat the Best during a era of the toughest and Most physical defense and play and still Jordan had 2 dynasties and all in 1 decade! Facts!
What's going on with Nick Wrong's hair part??? Lmao
How can you not believe a man who won 6 in the row.
He didn't win 6 in a row tho 👀 he 3 peated twice
Felt like 6 in a row 😅🤷🤣
Bulls would of crushed the Spurs. 4-1.
@@edmilsonrodrigues5393 yea i get you tho 😂
@@natejones8539 how u figure that? 5 games 🤣😂🤣😂 not happening. CHI 4-2. But I can kinda see where u going with it tho. A motivated Worm, Pippen, Phil & MJ? U might be right
Nick Wright - MJ would have swept the Spurs easily.
ppl over rate phil jackson, jerry Krause and who ever was on bull!! ppl don't understand without MJ! phil isn't phil or jerry isn't jerry or even pippen isn't pippen of all results! MJ would've won championship with or without phil, pippen or whoever!!
Hey Nick Wrong.
Why don't coach Jackson just coach everyone so they all can win championships 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Now your lame excuse is that LeCramp didn't have a good coach 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nick is so happy that MJ didn't get his 7th championship because that would really be a loonnggg reach for his LB to catch, thus dampen the debate about LB being the goat
If Tom Green was a sports analyst
Stockton scored 10 miserable points that night. So disapointed. And got rid of ball so fast for Malone while MJ was right there. And Bavetta with that invalid calls on Eisley and Harper. That should have been game 7.
Such disrespect to Red Auerbach.....
So I guess Patrick Ewing is not a center. Seriously Nick Wright is horrible. Get him off airwaves .
Oh mama... Jenna ❤️
best bball doc.
Deep dish pizza > regular pizza
Regular. Would have been deep dish if they were playing in Chicago
What about Red Auerbach?
Nick would say robinson and duncan would be waiting for them then shaq and for some reason couldn't mention kobe .. that's just pure hate for kobe and jordan ..the guy lacks maturity
The best game he ever played was game 6vs Utah?
Huh?
No. Not even close. There's only about 200 other games in there that were better.
Jordan left his man for the steal on the post, all the time. That wasn't anything new.
Maybe nick needs to fire up TH-cam, jump on a treadmill, and watch a few more games from the 90s.
Phil got more rings than Russell, Phil got 13 total, everybody forget he won 2 with the Knicks as a player
So Lebron was going to rub the triangle? 🤣 ol good take Chris
Nick Jedi mind tricking Broussard. "Jordans best game, he went 45-1-1 going 15-35 from the field". Lol. Nick stopped himself from saying, " and he carried them by going 6-29 to end the game". LMAO.
if the whole team stayed forthe 7th title or more, a Lakers dynasty] will prob never gonna happen
bec there is no Phil Jackson & Mike for sure will never gonna give advise/guide to a young Kobe.
Wow to of LeBron's media plants all you need now is Shannon Sharpe
Nick you need to go get regular job you don't know what you talking about always try to put Jordan down
I really can't take Nick Wright seriously at all
Nick should look up Red Auerbach. Phil Jackson may be the best but it is close.
Bill Russell wouldn’t have had all those titles or have ever coached without the influence of Auerbach.
Hold on; Broussard said that Orlando had Shaq and 3 point shooting. Did they shoot 3's or not??? Make up your minds people. And no, Ewing was on a team with no shooting and Shaq was young, not LA Shaq.
Does Kevin Wilde even have an opinion or does he get paid to agree with Nick. I swear been watching some of these First Things First videos and it seems he is just there to nod.
Haha Nick dats WHERE you stay in the conversation with stats u r too young to know Michael mind is about winning his desire to win Duncan them would have only make HIM strive harder and dats WHERE u can't comprehend U could only relate to stats ,dats how you stay relevant
I'm with Nick on the Finals thing ... WTF is with everyone thinking losing in the Finals is worse than not making it? Seriously how is 6-0 better than 6-1?
Think of it this way. It's the same way people feel about the perfect game in baseball versus a no hitter
They both are not good like a lose is a lose especially the 2011 lose
It doesn't make sense to me though. People think Montana being benched in a Wildcard for playing so poorly is better than him playing great and carrying his team to the SB and losing a close game. It's undeniably a worse performance by the player but it's better to be worse? Jordan couldn't make it past the first round but that's better than him having an undeniably better performance and making it to the Finals and losing a close series?
It doesn't make sense. Stupidity from people.
@@Kefka2010 no if you dont add context it makes the thing stupid once we add context in details we see why like its ignorant to be a fan of the game and leave stuff out
@@christophergraves3113 Context like being benched in the Wildcards and going 3-0 in the first round? Seems like playing better and making the next round of playoffs would be better and making the Finals/SB and losing would be 100% better.
The game wasn’t tied
Somebody please tell Chris to invest in a friggin microphone for g’d sake!!!
He makes too much money to be yelling into his iPhone 6 earplugs smh
The twin towers would be difficult for the bulls to handle, but they would have no one to guard Jordan.
The 99 Spurs were weak in the front court. Who would Avery Johnson guard, Pippen, Harper, or Jordan.
Duncan was young and Pippen played all 50 games that next season and posted good numbers. A well-rested Bulls team probably lose 5-10 games and run through the playoffs easily but then everyone would want to put an asterisk next to that season to trivialize Jordan and the Bulls.
Nick: Everybody thinks I hate MJ, but MJ made me love basketball...
Also Nick: I'm gonna knock MJ at every turn, even if it's not the topic, including the flu game.
No, you're wrong.
I LOVE YOU NICK WRIGHT!
If Lebron had Phil Jackson early in his career, Lebron would have 9 rings by now. Easily.
The only historic moment of Jordan in bulls nick? Seriously 😒
Did nick just say the bulls never played a great big?? They played Kareem and magic in the finals? And if that’s not good enough for you they played Malone who’s just the 3rd all time leading scorer. What does nick mean the bulls never saw a dominant big?
Nick Wright is most deluded sports writer on planet! Bulls would lose to spurs because they never had to beat a team in finals with great centre! First, Robinson was no longer great from 98, second Bulls went through Ewing, Mourning, Shaq in the playoffs!
Just Love Nick Wright assessment and Professionalism! Keep up the Good Works. First Take is Awesome!
Nick Wright made a better (hair) comeback than Lebron in 2016.. Btw still not understanding that Mj is the Goat.
Shaved head looks better though.
