Several times you see him catch the ball in a spot on the perimeter with spacing where today's players would shoot 80% of the time, but he didn't. He was always looking for the easier bucket instead of hoisting 22 ft shots like Kobe and his offspring

But he didn't become a much deadlier player until he starting implementing the midrange. Hell, us fukking him up in the paint is one of the reasons he went to it so much.

People think an open three is a good look today, but imagine an open 8-footer. This is the differences in eras. One wants to get to the basket, the other wants to shoot away from the basket.

LeBron could've/should've cut all that out though

:sas2:

:wow: wow just to think, homie did that after losing big money in Atlantic City the previous night .
this is one of the most :mindblown: things about Jordan. I was watching a playoff game...PLAYOFF GAME from the 90s where Marv Albert was talking about how Jordan played 36 THIRTY SIX!!! holes of golf the morning before the game :what: the morning of a playoff game...:wow:

and you watch the dream team doc and Magic talks about how he would make them play cards well into the morning, then he'd workout out, then have a game, then be right back at it playing golf, then playing cards game.

like, what would he have been if he took better care of his body with rest and not drinking and smoking cigars all night. and yet, thru all that...still #GOAT

No one has that same skillset.. closest thing i have ever seen skillset wise is Kobe but athletically Jordan kills him.

There can only be one :wow:


Bowing down to a man with 2 years in the league. And one of those years he only started 7 games.

Maybe the most bonafide walk in superstar into the league.

It was known from jump that he was going to be a superstar.

sociopath level competitiveness. i read a story how he used to terrorize his UNC roommate over monopoly or some shyt, like the roommate would win and jordan would be like fukk that run it back
and the roommate would win again and jordan wouldnt let him go to sleep until he beat him :heh:
shyt would be 3am and they're playing monopoly and once he beat him hes like aight goodnight :dead:
