Hes the mosiahh
Jordan Brooks
because he was a psychopath
Dylan Powell
Because he had Scottie Pippen as his teammate in a watered down league.
Ayden Reed
he wanted it more
Ryder Ortiz
>Watered down league
How fucking old are you?
William Hill
He was a student of the game.
Kevin Bennett
27
And you?
Alexander Rodriguez
Pippen
Jordan without Pippen = first round exits, out of the league entirely
Pippen without Jordan = ECFs, somehow keeping a team in Portland afloat
Dylan Gonzalez
>NBA needing a popularity spike after magic/bird retired and ratings were dwindling
>nike/nba/espn/media all paid to hype him beyond legend status
>played on a stacked team
>refs/league changed rules and rigged shit constantly to make sure he wouldn't lose
it would be like if suddenly lebron and KD retired at the same time and then suddenly the league decided to make Anthony Davis the next superstar so they trade curry to his team and rig games until he wins
Nathan Nelson
He had a high basketball IQ.
Lincoln Jenkins
Watered down is really the most fitting way to put it honestly. Like half of the top 50 all time players were around in the time, but after the Pistons split it was one per team aside from the Bulls that had like 4 of them.
The only other one that assembled a similar team of big names was the Rockets with most of them at the age of 500. The only one that had more than 1 in their prime was the Jazz and Malone is the godemperor of choking
Jackson Taylor
A shoe deal with a good marketing campaign.
Brody James
Kareem turning down Nike is literally the moment Jordan was born
Brayden Myers
>All this contrarian faggots.
Lincoln Martin
He was handsome and was the best athlete. That's why people could tolerate his attitude because he was a beautiful man with the best skills.
Westbrook is putting up insane stats but not only does he have a cancerous attitude but he's ugly. He'll never win a ring with that combo
Jacob Clark
that nigga look like a sandwich
Christopher Ortiz

You're 11 years old, aren't you?
Chase Walker
The way that Phil Jackson put Malone on the court during garbage time at the last game of the finals at Detroit was disrespectful to be honest.
Nolan Bell
michael played with alot of confidense, he played with no help in his first years so he was able craft his game, he was fearless driving to the basquet and was a goat finisher, his mid game was very sharp but mostly we was confidence in his ability to win the 1- 1 battles and his skills.
Leo Peterson
He was a ruthless player, he was quick, he was fun to watch, he was unpredictable, he played in a fun, ferocious yet beautiful fashion.
He wasn't the greatest shooter in the league but he was one of the best, he wasn't the fastest guy in the league but he was one of the fastest, he wasn't the strongest but he was one of the strongest, he had all the physical tools to do what he wanted on the court. He was also quite possibly the most driven man to ever play professional sports, he was unbelievably high-energy, there are numerous stories of other players hanging out with him for 3 days straight in the summer where he goes from golf courses to weight rooms to practice to late night poker games without sleeping. In Barcelona Barkley said he fell asleep while Jordan was playing cards one night and he woke up with Jordan still playing 8 hours later, and then they went to practice and had a game that night. The man just never slept it seemed
Jace Rivera
This.
If you didn't get to watch him play growing up, I pity you. It's hard to believe that any player could ever have lived up to the hype that's been put on him, but he did.
Landon Baker
ITT: People who agree, but have never seen him play a single game.
Oliver Garcia
>He wasn't the greatest shooter in the league
He definitely wasn't when he first came into the league, but MJ was a pathological competitor and never stopped refining his game. When he retired he had the best moving mid range jumper of all time.
Levi Bailey
Ian Gutierrez
ive saw him in space jam, so im qualified to judge his nba career.
Owen Nelson
>knicks
Patrick Ewing and who else? Charles Oakley? lol
>cavs
I fell for the bait. Unless you generally believe Craig Ehlo ever amounted to anything other than being the guy that got kicked in the face by Jordan.
Jonathan Cooper
he was the MVP of the space jam where he played against A bunch of NBA all time greats almost by himself. If that doesn't make him GOAT, I don't know what does.
Austin Cook

They were very good m8, but lets not get carried away.
