At any given point, jordan was the most intelligent player on the court. He knew everyones capabilities as well as his own, and mastered the rules to the point that he damn near was cheating. A basket ball god amongst men, and his athleticism was only matched by his dedication.

Why'd the ether hunt that man down like that?
the fact that you always KNEW he was gonna hit the game winner.. called my neighbor during 97 finals and told them mj is gonna hit the buzzer beater against your jazz.. and he did. That was MJ. always found a way to win when it mattered
Oh my god!!!
Funny store, I was watching that game with my Dad and one of my closest friends. My Dad had to work the graveyard shift that night, so he was able to watch the game until the final 2:00 minutes, then he had to leave to work. He was like this...
So he goes downstairs to wait for the bus (Bus stop is literally in front of his building, just across the street). The windows were up (it was June), my friend and I knew Jordan was going to take the last shot, and even though you know it, and you know he's probably going to make it, it doesn't make the euphoria less dramatic.
The clock winds down and my friend and I are like
When he hits the shot we go fukking insane...literally hugging and screaming to the top of our fukking lungs, you would have thought we played on the damn team.
Later that night my Dad called us up (before cellphones were commonplace) and says that he heard our entire celebration while waiting for the bus and he was pissed that he missed it. He said he was like this during the seconds leading up to him hearing us...

this has honestly become my favorite gif...
The confident "no nikkas" dance he does...that swagger is just
I can hear him now..."no new nikkas, no new nikkas, no new nikkas, no no new"
So....in a thread about why JORDAN is so special, you dedicate about 95% of your post talking down on KOBE?

Kareem went to the finals 10 times. He was bound to lose. The more times you get there , the more chances you have to lose. Ask lebron.

when the other team be on some
, and u do things like that^^^^^ against the best comp. that makes u the special goat
Other than being great, the marketing around him was insane. Maybe the first athlete really turn himself into a brand.
he came along before the internet and 24/7 on demand video/music
people back in the 90s were basically forced to watch whatever came on TV and the media dikkrode him into everyone's living room
nikkas know got more shyt to do than sit in front of a tv all day and be told LeBron is the GOAT

His competitive will and desire to win helped make him great. And it seemed like he always made a play or left his mark during a critical moment in a basketball game. And most of all he always showed up to play.
