That right there's called going psycho, like Michael, take your pick... Tyson. Jackson. Jordan, Game 6!

IMO, the greatest single sequence in the history of the sport is the final 41 secs of Jazz/Bulls Game 6 in 1998. Down 3, Phil tells Mike he must score quickly to guarantee another posession. Instructs him he has 12 seconds. Mike takes the inbounds and "drives right, hangs left, scores easily...

You keep talking about Jordan being known for choking late in games. It's so strange; honestly, it's some alternate universe sh-t, my man. I think you really need to go watch how games ended for Chicago between 1991 and 1998.

You tell me all I need to know when you say you quit really watching in 91, @CaneOil So you're basically judging Michael on his level of greatness by looking at only the period he was wearing cursive lettering on his jersey and rocking a gold chain while facing several of the greatest teams to...

No, bigger guys dominate in one on one. It's funny you bring up Dominque like that. I was always a big fan of that dude and I too often wondered if he was equally as talented as Jordan. There were times it sure seemed like it. It just never clicked around him and all came together. Simar to...

Great post. You clearly love the game. Watching those Celtics teams you reference was part of my childhood. Bird, McHale, DJ, The Chief, Ainge, they were such a phenomenal squad together. Worthy is an under appreciated great. An argument can be made for Kareem as GOAT. I loved me some Magic...

That is 100% true. Another great post, 305.

Very intelligent post. Excellent point re Cartwright and the way he spaced the floor. I'm not saying a center like Ewing INSTEAD of Pippen (I couldn't agree more with you that Scottie was an absolutely picture perfect pairing for Michael, and that they needed each other), but what if they had...

Come back and take your poison @CaneOil we are waiting for you!!!! LOL I kid, I kid. I enjoy the discussion... though disclaimer to all, I can get quite worked up about by man MJ! lol

Well said, Rell. It is an asinine jab. Those two teams in question are two of the greatest teams ever assembled. Period. Michael had nobody back then. 1 vs 8, just like you said.

Magic is one of the greatest passers to ever play the game. Michael is one of the greatest scorers to ever play the game. Apples and oranges; though Magic scored plenty as well. Biggest difference between those two players? Defense. End of story. Michael is widely known as a scorer. And...

BTW, worth noting because you tried to take away from what MJ achieved by saying they changed the rules for him.... the person you are saying is the greatest player of all time was the only 7 footer in the league at a time the game had no 3 second violation. Do you think Wilt Chamberlain would...

30:25 is another great segment of that film. To date, the greatest single half performance I personally have ever witnessed at any level of basketball. I can picture myself standing in front of the TV in our living room with my brother watching that to this day.

I actually really liked that Knicks team. My wife (NY Italian) loved that team and we lived in Miami at the time so we watched (or went to) all of those games. Some of the best NBA series in history, IMO. Heart breaking for the Heat tho. Jeez.

This whole topic is just a debate of personal opinions, of course. But "Jordan always choked"? What?!? Widely considered the most clutch player to ever play the game. You go down a list of his greatest games and about 90% of them are in the playoffs (most are in the Finals). That speaks...

Below is a link to the full Air Time. If any of you on here haven't seen it, you should absolutely watch the whole thing. Great video! The Knicks series portion I referenced starts at 24:08 ("We just came off a very convincing series against Miami; we thought we could waltz right through New...

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Not exact same at all then, my man. LOL You know, I wondered why you included Charles Smith. Man, I despised Starks! And there was another half dozen players on those squads I hated equally as much. Smith would not have been high on that list. Now you post makes a...

LOL! Exact same, my man. Those 90s Bulls/Knicks battles are my favorite basketball games to this day. But **** did I hate those Knicks!! The presentation of one of those series on MJ's "Air Time" video is all time epic. I watch it several times a year. Every year. LOL

That picture is hanging in my home office. :)
