Why was Michael Jordan so good?

[KodeBlue]

U clowns are just spewing a bunch of GARBAGE. Y'all are just looking at mj through an early 90s to 98 lens when all the real hardcore nikkas had fallen off/retired.

Most of you dummies weren't old enough to remember when he used to be constantly shytted on in the 80s.

All you clowns know is the Isaac Hayes bald headed jordan... I remember when he was George Jefferson head mj who many people used to make fun of all the time for being an extreme ball hog/underachiever.

That's what made him a GAWD in the 90s....

Watching some old videos of him and I really can't figure out why. The NBA is supposedly much more advanced today with advanced training drills and MJ is still considered the best with nobody coming close.

What made him become so good? It couldn't be genetics because he was skinny his early years and his height is a standard 6'6.

Was his work ethic just that good where he became the best and today's players are just lazy?

it was actually mostly genetics that made him so good. athleticism, iq, even desire and competitive nature can all be traced back to genetics. take those things away, and you don't have michael jordan. he was basically like if god created a basketball player and made him without any discernible weakness.

He was a sociopath. It's too bad Sports Science wasn't around in his prime, it woulda been cool to see some hard data on what separates him from the rest

No he wasn't, he got better because the league catered to him, he was forced to be the face of the league for their global reach plan. The nba used to have insider board meetings on how to promote this guy, it was a deliberate orchestrated move with tremendous media backing.

Nope, the "jordan rules" was created, stop being naive. The refs were even involved, a lot players bytched about it a lot but later fell back cause of david stern's harsh warning.

This sounds like a personal vendetta.

David stern, everybody knows this. Touch mj and it was a foul in the 90s. Stern was tired of him getting punked, shyt became wwf status after the rule changes. They turned mj into some lame hulk hogan status.

His team was simply better than anyone else's. When have you looked back and said "Jordan wasn't supposed to win THAT NBA Finals?"

When did he ever play a team that had more talent? Better coaching? Throw in Rodman, and he had better rebounding that almost every team. Kukoc was droppin the Sixth Man of the Year numbers off the bench on top of it.

You think LeBron had it easy? Look up any list of top 20-25 players of the 90s, and see how many of them played for the Eastern Conference. Once Rodman joined the Bulls, the East was no match.
His team was simply better, and the competition was simply subpar

MJ was 6'6 going against 6'3 construction workers, baggers and garbage men...

kobe paul pierce, ray allen, reggie milller, Mcgrady ect are construction workers now?

basketball was on that wwf bullshyt in the 90s, turned mj into some fake ass hulk hogan, refs supporting him etc.

Pick a argument. Are you arguing Jordan Rules or a bunch of rule changes that affected the whole league??

Shaq, Karl Malone, Gary Payton, The Knicks, Barkley, Hakeem, Clyde, Dominique were construction workers too.

What rules were changed that made it easier for Jordan and no one else?
