NBA was pleasing to the eye back then. Strict rules and no bias towards offense. Today they allow to take 2 steps back, then another tep back to get separation. It cringe looking. Imagine if Hakeem or Jordan or Kobe be were allowed all those extra steps with the footwork they had, they would be unstoppable.
The gather step is the biggest load of crap. Plus no hand checking today. All rules give such an advantage to the offensive players today. Then we have the Michael didn’t shoot three’s crowd. All I’ll say is he did but imagine he cared about threes like he did the rest of his game ? If it was how it is today? Would he not have made himself one of the best at that too?
I agree with you and 3-time Sixth Man of the Year (Jamal Crawford) who said "Michael Jordan is the best player I've ever seen. I believe he's the best player I'll ever see. I believe he'll be the best player a million years from now."
The Atlanta Hawks in the latter half of the 1990s were impressive with Dikembe Mutombo, but Steve Smith and Mookie Blaylock who belonged to the Hawks at the time were also very good players. Although the Hawks lost to the Chicago Bulls in the playoff conference semifinals in the 1996-1997 season, the Hawks were strong in the regular season. The Hawks in the 1990s were also victims of Michael Jordan's Bulls.
The HOF is riddled with players who would have won championships except for MJ and the Bulls. It’s no disrespect to them, it was just impossible to get by the Bulls at that time.
You know what really made Jordan the 🐐 he never complained, he just Rambo them. Best Basketball time ever, no ref stopping the game even when Jordan got pound.
@@soramirez5473it's normal to complain if the opposing team is doing like the MMA stuff to you. But if you're complaining even if you're not actually hit, then that's a different story.

@BTMBasketballTimeMachine imagine a "fused" team of the early and late 90´s Heat if the Hornets trade went another way... PG: T.Hardaway SG: Smitty SF: Rice PF: Mashburn C: ZO
That's something I've always thought of. But with Rice, I don't think Mashburn was needed. I would have PJ Brown at the 4, and Thunder Dan as the 6th man
Ok. For those clueless people that think there was no competition for Jordan, just listen to the names of the other 2 Guards Steve rolled off at the end of the clip. All those guys fighting for the 2nd all-star spot...
For some historical perspective, the 1992 Bulls team was just the 5th team in 45 NBA seasons to win 67 or more games. Since then, eight teams won 67 or more, including the Bulls twice. So 67-15 might not seem so impressive today, but back in 1992 it seemed like an absurd number.
Had the privilege of meeting Steve Smith. He is a wonderful person who was so kind to me. A friend was on that heat team and as soon as he took me into the heat locker room? Steve smith walked right over to me and shook my hand and said my name, it was great to meet me and he enjoyed the stories Allen told him about our high school days. Just a great guy.
36 holes of golf? Thats nothing. As a Chicago native we all used to hear rumors about MJ and his extracurricular activities. Jordan was literally something different. It's hard to imagine someone as great as he was partying all night and then still giving 100% at practice and bust 40 pts in a game, after being up all night and 1 hr of sleep on the team bus or plane.The world was a different place back then. there was such thing as privacy. and the media new better than to make Michael look bad. Michael did a lot or partying. And that just contribute's to his GOATness
I agree that times were different back then, but I don’t think the media hesitated to try and make MJ look bad when they could. They lambasted critique for Michael’s gambling habits, especially near the time of his first retirement.
@@elPeligro barely. Not like they could have. But gambling back then was viewed differently. It was like gambling was this barely legal thing that makes you borderline a bad person. Now everyone gambles and it's normal

Yep, it helps show people these players MJ played against weren't bad like people seem to think. They could play and quite a few had their signature or go-to moves.
Every financial goal requires patience, dedication and consistent spirit knowing that investment is currently the most lucrative business in the world, BTC is positively changing people's lives. I stopped panicking about my BTC the very moment I started working with Mr K last year, his confidence and skills is on a maximum level..
MJ is undeniably the 🐐 but real hoopers and basketball savants know that Smiddy (Yes, that behind the back move, that everyone uses now and days) was cold on the court. Very underrated, could do it all on the court. 💯
Steve Smith in Atlanta,along with Mookie Blaylock and Mutumbo was one of my favorite Hawks teams. Steve use to do a salsa dance when he got an and one... Great video 👍🏿
The GOAT conversation is between Michael and Bill Russell, not Lebron... LeBrons defense is terrible and spent most of his career shooting 50% from the free throw line.
back in the days, every game was exciting, teams play their hearts out. Nowadays i only watch highlights for regular season games, the watch the full playoff games.
I was at that Bulls Heat Game in Miami in 92, I was so excited and that @#$%^& (*&^%% came and ruined our night. I was so naïve, at halftime I thought we had a chance. I still have the ticket stub. The Miami Arena was never louder. Thank you for covering this game, it is still painful but what a great experience.
You should do a look at some of the best bulls opponents. I know everyone talks about the knicks but it was that Pacers team that I think had the best chance of stopping the bulls.
And the crazy part is if Reggie Miller the hassing little play brother of Jordan, played in the lebum time he would be fine tons of money and the media would have turned on him
@@glenroybrathwaite1531Jalen rose actually played in game 7 he was suspended in game 5 of the series because he left the bench in game 4 when Reggie miller and Ron Harper got into it
People highlight LeBron's 1-3 comeback over the Warriors as his best accomplishment, but one, he got down 1-3, that shouldn't be celebrated, but more importantly, the Warriors were chasing Jordan's team record that year, not the championship. Sure they assumed they'd win, but they EXHAUSTED themselves chasing the Bulls record. They were gassed.
Born and raised in Chicago and I can say hands down the best thing about growing up in this City in the 90s was watching the Chicago Bulls and MJ bring it to everybody. What a great time to be a sports fan.
100% agree. I will be eternally thankful for all of what Michael did to win, him AND his teammate. AND eternally grateful for Portland for taking Bowie!
All teams followed Detroit and their stuff like that, but still couldn't stop him. That's why they came up with The Jordan Rules!! Clothesline and all kind of shit M.J endured would have y'all girl LBJ out the league a long time ago.Now you know why he is the GOAT. LBJ could Stat pad and score all the points and assist he wants to. HE'LL NEVER BE M.J. or any player from that era with his big 6'10" crybaby azz!!
Pippen was so cold. In his prime, would probably average 30 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 blocks, 3 steals, today. All this stuff about players are so much better now. Lol. Mj would probably average 45. No one is stopping him. He can do whatever he wants, whenever he wants. Compare MJ and Steph. Or compare MJ and Lillard. MICHAEL JORDAN averaged 37 points per game in basically just his second year in the NBA. This was with not even attempting one three pointer per game. Steph and Lillard cannot come close to the averages MJ put up AND MJ HAD BASICALLY NO 3-ball in his game. Do you know how insane that is. He absolutely smashes Steph and Lillard--and by using 2-pointers as his main weapon, as well as 1-pointers because he can draw a foul and get to the line practically with his eyes closed.
1st Qtr- Mike is like " Laugh it up." 2nd Qtr- Mike " Keep Laughing it up!" 3rd Qtr- Mike " You still laughing?" 4th Qtr- Mike "He who laughs first, cries last! " 🤷🏾♂️
Steve Smith had 15 points in the 1st half of 1992 1st Round Game 3, none of them against Jordan. He had 3 points in the 2nd half, the only points he scored on Jordan the whole game. Jordan held him to 0 points in the final 5 minutes of the 3rd quarter and the final 5 minutes of the 4th quarter (Smith sat out the 4th quarter prior to that point). Game 2 he only had 11 points and almost all of them were after getting blown out by 20+. Game 1 was the only one where he succeeded against Jordan's defense. Jordan shut down Smith to 17.6 PPG on 32/31/83 shooting in their 1997 Playoffs rematch (after Smith's 20 PPG season), rotating with Harper and Pippen throughout the series.
Man... I forgot about about Grant Long! I don't recall Steve Smith's career with the Atlanta Hawks... But, l am well aware of it with the Portland Trailblazers, though.
Did u hear what Steve Smith said? Micheal started counting backwards 38-36 and Steve didn’t understand what he was doing… Micheal get to Zero and he has 40pts….. Only the GOAT 🐐
You do realize Scottie and Toni shot under 40% and Jordan carried them right. They were the two and 3 options and shot a terrible 39% and under every series. Don't give them props. Look up their stats in playoff series. Unbelievable MJ won with everyone shooting under 39% besides Rodman.
Steve Smith? He was the drummer for Journey in the ‘70s, right? Don’t remember and ballplayer by that name. Must be a nobody. His only claim to fame is that the GOAT kicked his ass? Ok.
What people don’t realize, Steve Smith stole “The Smitty” move from MJ! MJ had that move in the 80’s! Look at MJ highlights from the 80’s. I guess someone like Earl Monroe back in the day had that move as well!
Look I heard Darrel moray say James Harden was a better scorer than Mj has Harden ever scored 56 points in 3 quarters plus still played defense like a Dog NOPE but Mj has ?? A die hard bull's fan.
Sean, you can't say your a die hard Knicks fan & then say Michael Jordan is your Favorite player....did you enjoy him sending your favorite team home every year? b/c i didnt... i respect him, but he's my least favorite player... too many sad memories...
Timestamp 1:51 I don't know why but dear God that Horace Grant clip is the funniest thing I've seen all day, he's even wearing the teenage mutant ninja turtles glasses. Love it. Chicago Illinois rocks with Sean David
Time laps between the 72-10 record and miami game is wrong. This game against miami took place in 1992 playoff kust before the dream team olympic game. The record was after MJ came back.
As a boy i saw jordan and thought i was watching a superhero... as a man i can truly see what i was really watching was an absolute fucking menace that terrorized the NBA with confidence skill and a will to not only win but to crush anybody who opposed him. Air Jordan.... G.O.A.T.
This is the difference between Jordan and Lebron. Not just the mentality but the ability to ceeate shots. Unlike Bron, Jordan can change directions while driving towards the basket.
Imagine becoming so good at basketball, and your glittery glamorous fame-saturated pro basketball job becoming so mundane over the years that you have to look for excuses like Steve Smith talkin trash to you in order to hype yourself up enough to stay motivated and perform at top level. Meanwhile, over half the dudes in your profession just wish they could get some more playing time and maybe have a breakout game every now and then.
These guys who are confused about who the goat is never saw these games. If you saw these games I don’t think it’s possible to be confused. If the game was going to be won, he won it. Never seen anything like it before or since. Not just scoring. Defense steals blocks rebounds passes. You would be like how many points so he getting tonight and it was almost always 30 or more. And to hear later on that he did all this with barely any sleep and he never missed a game always practiced hard. It makes the legend exponentially greater.
It’s hard to see on highlights but when you watch Chicago and how they ran the triangle offense was a thing of beauty… watch a real game and watch how Micheal moves without the basketball on one side of the court then makes 3 moves without the ball which sets up the fourth move when he has the ball….. thats one thing about 2023 NBA they can’t function without the basketball
C’mon man. This is why MJ and Lebron don’t belong in the same sentence
Right. Kobe maybe lol
Facts cause Lebron would have never been i competition on with Steve Smith lol
@@CIA_Spy yeah, cause Jason Terry murdered lebron.
THAT'S A GOOD ONE!! SAME SENTENCE, LMAO🤣🤣🤣I AGREE

Absolutely spot on with that analysis
No. John Wick is the MJ of Hitmen.
@@awesomereviews1561 The truth!
@@awesomereviews1561😂 love it 👍🏽
That works both ways for me, though Jordan is non-fiction.
2 steps (no-gather), zero carries, and hand/body checking, and he's still better than anybody in today's ruleset.
NBA was pleasing to the eye back then. Strict rules and no bias towards offense. Today they allow to take 2 steps back, then another tep back to get separation. It cringe looking.
Imagine if Hakeem or Jordan or Kobe be were allowed all those extra steps with the footwork they had, they would be unstoppable.

Jordan would be the all time leading scorer if he played in this era.
With today defense. Jordan is going to the basketball at will.

He absolutely smashes Steph and Lillard--and by using 2-pointers as his main weapon, as well as 1-pointers because he can draw a foul and get to the line practically with his eyes closed.
1st Qtr- Mike is like " Laugh it up." 2nd Qtr- Mike " Keep Laughing it up!" 3rd Qtr- Mike " You still laughing?" 4th Qtr- Mike "He who laughs first, cries last! " 🤷🏾♂️
Love how the Greats can just turn it on 🔥
Steve Smith had 15 points in the 1st half of 1992 1st Round Game 3, none of them against Jordan. He had 3 points in the 2nd half, the only points he scored on Jordan the whole game. Jordan held him to 0 points in the final 5 minutes of the 3rd quarter and the final 5 minutes of the 4th quarter (Smith sat out the 4th quarter prior to that point). Game 2 he only had 11 points and almost all of them were after getting blown out by 20+. Game 1 was the only one where he succeeded against Jordan's defense.
Jordan shut down Smith to 17.6 PPG on 32/31/83 shooting in their 1997 Playoffs rematch (after Smith's 20 PPG season), rotating with Harper and Pippen throughout the series.
Man... I forgot about about Grant Long!
I don't recall Steve Smith's career with the Atlanta Hawks...
But, l am well aware of it with the Portland Trailblazers, though.
Steve Smith where do he stand on the east shooting guard list ???
Mj
Miller
Allen
Houston
Hardaway
Starks
Phills (rip)
Gamble (rip)
Smith??
Did u hear what Steve Smith said? Micheal started counting backwards 38-36 and Steve didn’t understand what he was doing… Micheal get to Zero and he has 40pts….. Only the GOAT 🐐
You do realize Scottie and Toni shot under 40% and Jordan carried them right. They were the two and 3 options and shot a terrible 39% and under every series. Don't give them props. Look up their stats in playoff series. Unbelievable MJ won with everyone shooting under 39% besides Rodman.
Consider me a subscriber.
My Mount Rushmore is

Pistol Pete... awesome video my friend 👍😊
Steve Smith? He was the drummer for Journey in the ‘70s, right? Don’t remember and ballplayer by that name. Must be a nobody. His only claim to fame is that the GOAT kicked his ass? Ok.
What people don’t realize, Steve Smith stole “The Smitty” move from MJ! MJ had that move in the 80’s! Look at MJ highlights from the 80’s. I guess someone like Earl Monroe back in the day had that move as well!
Look I heard Darrel moray say James Harden was a better scorer than Mj has Harden ever scored 56 points in 3 quarters plus still played defense like a Dog NOPE but Mj has ?? A die hard bull's fan.
😂😂Yo, you heard my man at the end of the video? He said "Steve Smith felt the bump" Now what "bump" could he possibly be referring to?😂😂
Sean, you can't say your a die hard Knicks fan & then say Michael Jordan is your Favorite player....did you enjoy him sending your favorite team home every year? b/c i didnt... i respect him, but he's my least favorite player... too many sad memories...
Timestamp 1:51 I don't know why but dear God that Horace Grant clip is the funniest thing I've seen all day, he's even wearing the teenage mutant ninja turtles glasses. Love it. Chicago Illinois rocks with Sean David
Time laps between the 72-10 record and miami game is wrong. This game against miami took place in 1992 playoff kust before the dream team olympic game. The record was after MJ came back.
As a boy i saw jordan and thought i was watching a superhero... as a man i can truly see what i was really watching was an absolute fucking menace that terrorized the NBA with confidence skill and a will to not only win but to crush anybody who opposed him.
Air Jordan.... G.O.A.T.
🧔🏻♂️ What Is Steve Smith from Stevens Transport the Matchbox Lost his matchsticks??
Steve Smith great player and great human being.
Michael Jordan THE GOAT.
This is the difference between Jordan and Lebron. Not just the mentality but the ability to ceeate shots. Unlike Bron, Jordan can change directions while driving towards the basket.
Imagine becoming so good at basketball, and your glittery glamorous fame-saturated pro basketball job becoming so mundane over the years that you have to look for excuses like Steve Smith talkin trash to you in order to hype yourself up enough to stay motivated and perform at top level. Meanwhile, over half the dudes in your profession just wish they could get some more playing time and maybe have a breakout game every now and then.
These guys who are confused about who the goat is never saw these games. If you saw these games I don’t think it’s possible to be confused. If the game was going to be won, he won it. Never seen anything like it before or since. Not just scoring. Defense steals blocks rebounds passes. You would be like how many points so he getting tonight and it was almost always 30 or more. And to hear later on that he did all this with barely any sleep and he never missed a game always practiced hard. It makes the legend exponentially greater.
The best part is it continues on it wasn't just 36 holes of golf it was a whole bunch of 🍻🍻🍻
As told by the Chicago friend who played golf with him
Gaybron Flames fanboyz are Lebronsexuals crying after this video.
Jordan was always the bear you shouldn’t dare poke. If you pissed him off, the L was coming
It’s hard to see on highlights but when you watch Chicago and how they ran the triangle offense was a thing of beauty… watch a real game and watch how Micheal moves without the basketball on one side of the court then makes 3 moves without the ball which sets up the fourth move when he has the ball….. thats one thing about 2023 NBA they can’t function without the basketball
People conveniently forget how many human beings were killed over Mr. Jordans sneakers. God has not.
Respect to the Detroit legends Smitty and DC. That clip of DC putting a shoulder into Smitty is funny @3:26. they were great friends.
