“Michael Jordan chased immortality and he caught up to it. He will live forever. “
- Tim Grover
He‘s on the olymp like Ali while others might be on Mount Rushmore
@@maroccomar2334 Mt. Olympus the real immortality, A level above the Greats, nice metaphor
Tim grover is a grifter.
his 500 dollar programm is a dailed down version of his book.
That’s why I was annoyed when JJ Reddick insulted Larry Bird and Bob Cousy. Bruh you need to recognize that you are standing on the shoulders of giants.
@@simbabwe2907coz it's for normal people
Michael Jordan stays on top regardless of the circumstances. The guy relaxes quietly in retirement and yet still folks on about him after 20 plus yrs whether they like him or not.
He’s not exactly relaxing quietly in retirement, lol. NBA owner, NASCAR owner, head of one of the largest divisions of Nike, subject of one of the greatest basketball documentaries of all time, etc. Pretty visible.
Yet all you mentioned he still manages to keep a pretty low profile. No social media. He lays low. I love it
@@adrianprince7266 Most 59 year olds are not crazily on social media. That’s not a good indicator.
@@stonedog23 he's definitely a social mover, for real.
@@adrianprince7266 He's constantly brought up in basketball discussions because he's still visible AND an active player is in MJ's orbit.
Michael has that mythical vibe to him, the alpha in room full of them.
Yea that’s exactly what he has become in a way. A myth
More like legendary.
@@arcaine101 more like folklore
@@spencerparker7374 more like solidified
Exactly……..
MJ is retired for 20 years now but still he is the talk of the town...
In Cleveland too 🤣
Thats special!!!
I realize it is when Lebron and Jordan was at the same place and Jordan was the biggest traction
🐂🐂
LBron would stop playing and 5 seasons later barely anybody would watch his highlights. Lol.. His style of play is so boring compared to the finesse and aesthetics of MJ.
MJ in a building filled with 🐐's and he's still The 🐐
Kobe was missing
Lebron is the goat 🐐 mj old ass dirt
FACTS!💯
No no. Those are hall of famers. He’s the only 🐐.
@@Bonkrefeen if he the 🐐 why he couldn't make it out the 1st round in the 80s
Air Jordan Aura hits different whenever his presence is felt.
Harold Miner was better #Facts
@@thekongstocks Harold Miner couldn't touch Michael Jordan.
@@thekongstocks - Lol. The dude who did not live up to being the next Jordan.
Yo like Charlie Murphy said he saw Rick James aura, everyone see that when mike walks in😂
Amen to that. . .
I really love how the NBA celebrates its past, that's why the league is always evolving!
The league has devolved...
✔Evolution!!! 👍
@@Tyrannosaurus_STFU_III course it has...
@@Tyrannosaurus_STFU_III once Leleaguedestroyer is gone, we will be in better place
True. Except media like ESPN and FS1 keep tearing down historical players. Just disgraceful behavior and sad.
Mike is a global icon, revered worldwide and has been for decades. People will be talking about his greatness 100 years from now.
I teared up when MJ came out i can't even lie 😁
Facts...
Me too, i screamed in disbelief! 💕
Damn I wish Kobe could've been there
Me too.
Was Larry there? Adam said a handful of players couldn't make it, I wonder who? I don't think I saw Larry or Kareem or Hakeem
Would love to see Kobe and Jordan throw light jabs at each other. The 1on1 we all wanted.
Right? Would've been him and Jordan joking on who's better lol
@@kingibrahimk2 Larry wasn’t there neither was ,Hakeem kareem was there.. but others that didn’t show up was Scottie, Malone, Tim duncan, bill rusell to name a few.. I could guess why Scottie didn’t come and Malone. Tim is kinda antisocial and bill was being careful with covid. Not sure why Larry or Hakeem wouldn’t come
I didn’t realize what an amazing interviewer KG is. Love his energy and his passion just like when he was playing. Showtime basketball brings it! ✊🏽
nah bro you goootta go dive into them interviews; KG & Shump are slept on when it comes to the passion, convo, story tellin, gems dropped ect
He's horrible
You sleeping 🛌 😴💤 I
I hate when people ask a question then constantly have to say something. Like while Silver starts speaking he is like
yeah. listen. wow. mmm. hmmm. ummhmm. yup. mmm... plenty of people do the same. Like they just want to be heard 😅
Dude was great and highly skilled, but he was a bitch ass goofy at the same time.
As always MJ was the biggest star of stars. In Cleveland no less. A town he tortured.
Besides Chicago, what town didn't MJ torture?
Thats true. But it was more of a reference to the playoffs he had with the cavs
@@cjtrules1 huh? I’m a knick fan and he did NY, Seattle, Utah … list goes on
@@rnarine89 that’s not what he was saying. He’s saying what teams didn’t MJ torture? And there isn’t one except the bulls
@@tristanp5605
Or Bird's Celtics or Hakeem's Rockets or Robinson's Spurs who all got the better of Jordan's Bulls in their head to heads except Robinson's Spurs who Jordan had an even record against. Jordan was still amazing and is arguably the GOAT, don't get me wrong, he just wasn't bulletproof like it seems y'all are trying to make him out to be.
When MJ Appear and people standing and cheering. After 20 years of retirement. Man! GOAT DISCUSSION IS OVER.
That says it right there
Agree. The crowd told us who the GOAT is!
people were just glad Jordan showed up,
since he had a conflicting schedule due to his NASCAR event
people didn't think Jordan would be there.
That was a fake discussion. There's never been a discussion.
Are you dumb lol he’s a retired player of course he’s gonna get a standing ovation?? Like the stuff y’all be saying is stupid!
Michael Jordan is smart he says very little. He let's his fans and the media defend him
I live 1 block down from him. Dude tells everyone to call him goat for some reason. I swear we thought he changed his name
@@papi-sauce yeah right
@@papi-sauce And then you woke up dude.. 😂
@@Slayer-33 my man!
He let his game defend him, nobody else could
Most of us came here for MJ, but the part of this clip that'll stick to me is when Silver said there's so much divisiveness, and that sometimes the NBA adds to the divisiveness. It was a moment of self-awareness that a lot of executives in sports either lack or are unwilling to admit. So, respect to Silver for that small acknowledgement.
He's a hypocrite
MJ in the center is well deserved 👑🐐
Both the former and current greats know who the GOAT really is.
LeBron

MJ Air Jordan is obviously the GOAT for ever, the Greatest there ever was,the greatest there ever will be,MJ obviously for ever
KG WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLAYERS BUT THIS MAN HAS TRANSLATED HIS GAME TO A PASSION FOR INTERVIEWS LOVE HIS VIBE KG THANK YOU YOU ARE OLD SCHOOL
KG was a home town kid ,I went to see him at Mauldin vs Hillcrest high-school South Carolina.
I always enjoy it when K.G. talks, especially his stories of playing in the NBA. His rookie year story playing against Michael Jordan, is epic , revealing, and funny !
Mj goat
Only person missing was Kobe!….
Rip legend
MJ walks into a room filled w/ greats and and all eyes are fixed on him, how he's acting and who he's interacting with. 20 yrs later.... Lebron won't get to experience this despite the numbers. That's no cap. Just reality. Not everyone reaches that level of stardom.
Amen. Lebron should’ve chosen a different number. Serena got a nice ass gift from MJ for her 23rd title. Lebron would never get anything like that💙
What do people say and react when you walk into the room!?!
@@healthchannel8160 daddy's back!
He already experiences that, -a Michael fan.
That’s just not true. Heads will turn for Lebron all the same. And I’m not even a Lebron fan. It’s an era thing. Guys older than MJ don’t look at him like that. Everyone thinks their own era is the best, and has admiration for the guys they looked up to growing up. All the current players and future players will look at Lebron as they do MJ right now.
I always had good vibes about Adam Silver.....he seems very approachable and hands on....bless him🙏🙏🏻🙏🏼🙏🏽
@Vonslik69 That's the same thing I said to my friends & family while we were watching. We all know how good David Stern was but I really think Adam Silver has done so much more as a commissioner to bring the older players with the newer players. And the bring in the fan involvement. He's been aces in my book.
@@xxxxbigrich5752
Indeed 💯
KG said it best transparent
@@xxxxbigrich5752 he is the worst commissioner ever. Completely controlled by china. Players and owerns are loosing their freedom of speech because of him. Coaches are not allowed to speak up on hongkong, uyghur human rights etc etc. i would have never thought that freedom of speech would one day be suppressed in the country of freedom, USA.
@@xxxxbigrich5752 embracing hiphop culture, changing all stars voting and selection, making a play in. Alot of great innovation from his time
Michael Jorden will forever be the conversation of the NBA. His iconic presence amongst other greats, shows his level of royalty 🤴🏿, the Akbar of The NBA. For he demonstrated superior qualities that many for a lifetime will revere, and look too for their level of acceptance as a professional NBA player. So, I Salute 🫡 Michael Jordan, He is The G.O.A.T of 🐐🐐
~Hon JLwjr
Adam Silver is an incredible man. The NBA is in great hands, and guided by an open, understanding, innovative mind.
He's pushing offense too much but we need defense instead
brother i was just about to say that
@@ultimatechrisso6592 needs to focus on bad officials too
But one of the woke people in nba
Still haven't given Seattle a team yet... #Supersonics
MJ is always MJ...... the best of the best......
20 years after MJ’s Final Retirement, and he remains in a League of his own. He walked into Lebron James’ House and his Aura was as Amazing as it was when he was a player. The Cheering Ovation he received as he appeared as his name was called Answered the question of Who is the G.O.A.T. The G.O.A.T. discussion is OVER
A big part of that reaction was also because he was seen in Indy earlier that day so everyone thought he wouldn't be at the celebration.
@@cjtrules1 because he’s Michael Jordan that’s why they cared lol
@@cjtrules1 Pippen decided to go in the bathroom the time Jordan arrived at the building. He recorded the visuals there.
*@Keith Ragin*
A crowd reaction doesn't make somebody the GOAT... You can argue that it indicates the popular opinion of who people think the GOAT is, but popular opinion does not make something fact. What makes or doesn't make a player the GOAT is what he does on an NBA court, that's it. LeBron is arguably slightly greater than Jordan and vice versa. LeBron and Jordan are extremely close regardless of who you choose if you have the ability to be unbiased.
Wow! You really watch through rose colored glasses huh? Cleveland don’t give 2 shits about Michael Jordan. You really think the Cleveland population was in the building for an overly expensive All Star game? YFR!
For KG to do this type of job with Adam Silver I think is really good on his part. Adam Silver in my opinion has done a great job bringing in the older players with the newer players. The way he has the fan involvement being a part of it all is also great. I thing he's the best commissioner in sports. He respects all the players not just one sided as in other sports. The Europeans the Spanish euros and the Asians. He's created a all inclusive league. That's awesome! That's why I love this sport.
Big facts right there ✊
Ratings have fallen under his watch
@@nahshondalmeida460 Are you the owner of a team or why are you concerned by this?
Genuinely interested why a consumer would care if an entertainment product has good ratings or not. If it's good, I watch.
@@leopoldvonwinterfeld5801 Thanks ✊🏾That's why I love basketball it's FANTASTIC
All time . The most popular NbA. Player of all time his Airness. Even 20 years after retirement. Still the iconic. The GOAT.
There’s nobody in the history of sports other then Babe Ruth or Muhammad Ali that are as legendary and Mythical as Jordan . Maybe Mike Tyson has that Bo Jackson was on that path until his career ended within that injury . But Jordan is the GOAT of GOATS . So happy I got to see him play live .
Jason Wolfe
Muhammad Ali was an ephebophile predator sleeping with underage girls and getting them pregnant that the mainstream media swept under the rug.
Mike Tyson was manufactured and overrated and a disgraceful boxer.
what an american list!
@@akashjha5774 true hahaha
Tyson could have had it. At one point, he was on top of the world, but he ruined it. It's Ali, Jordan, and Ruth.
@@princellasmith7562
Muhammad Ali was an ephebophile predator sleeping with underage girls and getting them pregnant and he got away with it because he's owned in death by the same corporation that owns the Elvis Presley Estate.
Michael Jordan is undisputed at No. 1
Ali did nothing but run his big mouth and left behind no industries or institutions and owned no businesses or companies whatsoever.
It's because we celebrate what we MJ fans saw on the court. Greatness through hard work and failure. He didn't run and hide. Took his Ls and the rest is history.
Off the court, we knew he dressed immaculately, gambled on golf, and the shoes. None of that matters, because on the court we witnessed what the goat does, how the goat wins, even In retirement.
I love KG. He's real. Adam Silver does his job too.
Silver is the goat
Adam Silver talks with such passion i love it. NBA has so many great personalities around, especially when all legends want to make they voice heard.
The Jordan legend will never die... his aura is different... everyone knows it
MJ is the face of NBA for so long until now his legacy is still there😃👍👌
Bosses of all Bosses that's that experience when Jordan 🐐 walks on the building l.
MJ set the standard total package in his game, you can be as good but not better!6 finals MVP's may never be broken!
Be as good???? Are u on crack?
He set the bar so high it’s nearly unfair and impossible to reach. I am grateful and fortunate to have witnessed such an amazing, incredible, creative, individual on that basketball court. He did things, till today, can’t or won’t be done. Athleticism with grace and creativity, and endless skill, will always be the supremacy of greatness. That’s MJ……
@@simplysimple7628 Well written.
Michael Jordan put in his time hard work the best ever so he enjoying life now blessing everybody who hands he touch he deserve it so now he can show the love side of the game that never die in there world of basketball respect go Bulls 🏀
Adam Silver is a humble and kind human being. Good to see guys like Adam are in important leadership position in sports.
Scumbag who’s watered down the league and turned it into a clown show
MJ is the top PERIOD!!!!
Kg top 20 player what a legend. Also Adam made league so fire the play in felt intense the teams had to want it. Mj has that aura when he showed up that gave me chills the Goat.
@Frank P that means lebron is top 100 player hahhaa
@Frank P Nah. KG definitely top 20 statistically
KG is a natural! A good listener and a very passionate speaker.
Silver always comes off as cool individual. He really seems like a great fit for his position.
It would have been magical if Kobe was there 😭😭😭😭
4:04 is where it begins!!
You’re the goat
Thanks man
Michael is always be the 🐐 kareem,magic,kobe,shaq are right there!!!!
When NBA's need is GREATEST , MJ will rise again !!! insert image 4:24
Mj is the goat debate over so glad I got to see him play live i will never forget that
Silver looks like an extra terrestrial.
Ayyy lmao
He is
KG, you did it again, masterful job there brother!
i like adam silver....seems down to earth
adam silver is such a great commissioner!
ADAM IS THE BEST! WE TRULY APPRECIATE YOU!
MJ's style of play still so futuristic
MICHAEL JEFFREY JORDAN 23 🐐 🏀 🔥GREATEST OF ALL TIME
I grew up a mile from Jordan's childhood home Wilmington NC,as a kid growing up late80s 90s he was something special to us kids.
Adam Silver is a real one str8 up salute to Mr Silver 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾❤️
He's good indeed, but who can forget the late GREAT David Stern uh ? He was the real OG !!!
At Michael Jordans peak no one beat him..at lebrons peak..Kawhi, Curry, Durant all beat him…leave your statistics on your google searches but thats fact, the goat for me is someone who never lost when he got to the mountain top.
Not a valid argument because the entire league is rigged. Who you seen win or lose is by design. It's just entertainment in the court of law they can determine the outcome of games and they've been doing that for a long time.
AMEN!
MJ #23 💯🐐🔥🔥🔥

Even if there was a title for it, it would still be a debate.
The NBA on its website has Jordan By acclamation as THE Greatest...
But thats the Opinion of the NBA...not everyone(tho MOST agree).
Theres always gonna be a debate because its always gonna be a Subjective topic.
...until we get a something on a federal level passed that says Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player ever. lol
Two wonderfully authentic and decent human beings right here. Good conversation.
KG my all-time favourite player. Legend on and off the court
Great interview/conversation KG.

Nobody will ever surpass mj as the Goat no matter how many stats they Pat ! The eyeball test will never lie !
facts. the eye test shows
Michael Jordan does whatever he wants 😂
I'm a simple man. I see a video about Michael Jordan, I click.
Couldn't possibly agree more
I like that he showed up to this event while nobody was expecting him to. It keeps that mystery like Aura about him. We’ve only talked about him and heard about this living legend but every now and then he shows up makes us realize he is indeed the 🐐
Kevin Garnett cracks me up when he tries to sound proper. Nice interview
Adam Silver is hands down the best sports commissioner of all sports,💯
the GOAT of the GOATS
Great interview by Kevin 💯
I don't know if it's the sport or the business of the NBA but there is something magical about the NBA
the amount of great superstars athletes in it is remarkable
amount of produced content from the nba is ridicules (TH-cam, talk shows, podcast, ..etc)
emotions in the playoffs for us fans are memories for the rest of our lives
i'm a football fan "soccer" but nothing beats the NBA in my standpoint
Ain't no party like an NBA party
Except the NFL
The game allows the uniqueness of every player’s game to shine and in an intimate setting.
Man Adam silver is the most beloved commissioner hands down
Nah, Stern all day.
Adam silver enabled this black movement political crap to influence NBA to its core, and the referees being this worse and soft can only happen with the current commissioner blessings.
Kevin Garnett and Mr. Adam Silver of the NBA had a special moment because indeed since I've known the NBA, this has been the best moment where everybody just stood down every inconvenience they might have had and realized that they could give up any rivalry and demonstrate to the world that they are the embodiment of fair play amongst themselves. I was so proud to see these guys give us the excellent example of what is truly an NBA Basketball player, now for 76 years in the roll call for the whole world to emulate. Congratulations ALL NBA STARS - FROM THE OLDEST TO THE YOUNGEST!
I remember watching KG when he played for Faragut in highschool. Cant believe how far he came.
MJ is the greatest player of all time, the only player that comes close to him is kobe.

KG is a great interviewer 👏 David Stern was great. Adam has done an equally great job. Good communicator. 👏👏👏
how was stern great
@@slightexag He turned the league global and expanded the league multiple times bringing teams to new markets.
@@jalenad11 he also allowed a virulent racist to own the clippers, demonized iverson and other Black players for street dress code, blocked a CP trade that could've won him a ring, etc. to call him a condescending man who allowed racism to continue in the league wouldn't be a stretch. Adam Silver is 10x the commissioner he was. I would say he didn't do nearly enough to improve the league. honestly, i would say lebron james and michael jordan themselves did more for the league during their careers than he did in his 30 year tenure
@@slightexag even with the known faults, he left the league in a way better shape than when he became commissioner
@@TheMan750 to use baseball terminology, i'd say he was a replacement level commissioner at best. i think anyone in his position would have reaped the benefits he did
😂 KG dressing down 4 da commissioner+ the non confrontational positioning in the seat. 😂
His speech on Kobe's commemoration event at Staples endeared him more to many.
I know I am too late but Adam Silver is the future of the NBA as a commissioner, David Stern did a great job in his time but we also have to appreciate Adam as a Commissioner, hopefully we'll have a Black NBA commissioner in the future 😊
The GOAT of all sports!!
KG should just get his own show interviewing past players, coaches and directors. He’s a natural
its called KG Certified aint it?
They tried but he couldn’t spell or pronounce “equivalent”
