His Airness Michael Jordan

Just red earlier on a sports article jordan said he'd beat lebron but kobe beats him on a 1 on 1 game.

 

That's not what he said. What he said was he'd beat lebron 1 on 1 when he at his prime. But for Kobe, he's "NOT SURE" since Kobe stole his moves. You've got to secure better sources my friend.

 

In addition, when Ron Harper was interviewed for a recent NBA promotion and was asked the same question, what he said was "No one can compare to MJ. He brings a different gracefulness and passion to the game" Take this from a man who played with both Jordan and Kobe. Not just some sports fan. :)

i think a lot of people have misunderstood Jordan's statement..

 

or maybe a there are a lot of Kobe Fans trying to use MJ's statement to say that KB is better than LBJ

 

but i honestly think that MJ is not trying to tell that KB is better than LBJ,

 

MJ statement above is, for me, MJ being sarcastic with KB...

 

he's is trying to imply that KB only copies his moves, that maybe KB idolizes MJ...

 

look KB fans, MJ is not trying to build-up KB here...

Michael Jordan is to basketball just as Michael Schumacher is to Formula One. What makes MJ not only the greatest basketball player that ever lived, but also the definitive athlete is that he puts discipline above all else. He lives and breathes competitiveness that he cannot tolerate anything less than the best he can give at any given time. From the generations of NBA players that I have seen play, there are a couple of cagers who posses more impressive natural skills than MJ- Bill Russell and Lebron James being two of them. However, what MJ lacked in innate talent (and let me preface this by saying he is not without skills), he more than made up for in sheer discipline and the need to be the best. He trains harder than anyone and he demands only the best efforts even if he is burning with fever and had to clutch a bucket the entire game because he was puking his guts out.

 

His Airness changed the face of basketball at a time when people thought the sport cannot be made more popular. There are places in Africa where there is no potable water, yet the knowledge of Michael Jordan's is abundant. He became the poster boy for athleticism not because he produced incredible stats and set astounding records, but because he is the embodiment of what it is to be a sportsman.

 

His utter failure in professional baseball is in fact proof of just how much MJ needed competition. There is the constant clamor for the next high, the next basket made, the next championship. He lives in a world where he is not happy until he has exhausted all possible formulas for winning. When he does NOT win, he looks to changing it right away. Looking back, the fact that he was drafted 3rd overall behind Hakeem Olajuwon and Sam Bowie (yeah, I know, Sam Bowie who?) respectively seems rather ridiculous to say the least.

 

Younger players such as Lebron, Wade, Durant, and even Kobe (he's not that young but he still belongs to the post-MJ era) can only hope to achieve at least half of what MJ did in his illustrious career.

 

The bottom line is that Michael Jeffrey Jordan is the standard against which every other basketball player that came before him and those that came after are measured. I doubt anything can be better than that.

In my opinion, if the 80s Celtics and Lakers were in the same era as the 90s Bulls, I don't think the Bulls would have won that many championships.

 

yes i think bulls wont win if they played in the 80's, but lets not compared the 90's to 80's, because in the 90's a lot of rules have changes, games changes too. in the 80's more physical and more hardcore defense. in the 90's it all about good plays. and this is where micheal jordan created himself and change the game of NBA. parang mapapaisip ka na kaya pala yun gawin sa basketball.

For me, he is the greatest basketball player of all time and one of the greatest athlete the world has ever seen.

 

Many of the stars today wants to become like mike. People thought vince carter, tmac, kobe, wade, iverson, and even lebron, will be the "Next Jordan". But they failed.
