Lakers play or if we’re watching The Last Dance it’s definitely in the locker room Jordan or LeBron who’s the goat Jordan yeah okay like I said man bro you my dog you know this though me and braon been in arguments about this though does he take that is he conscientious about that [ __ ]

Laughs at that [ __ ] bro I think a lot of guys that are playing in in our game right now current players will say that LeBron’s the best I wasn’t a Jordan fan I’m from Phoenix as much as everyone shocked I never had Jordan on my top player of all time

Anyways I have LeBron above Michael all time I think the game was a th% different than what it is today obviously you know the friends I have are all in their you know late 20s early 30s so we all agree but it’s always that one friend or that one guy in the locker

Room that will that will say Jordan [ __ ] do you know what Michael Jordan had to deal with bro you for real we can go over his finals opponents and go over LeBron’s finals opponents and you tell me who had the tougher teams you tell me who

Lost okay that’s fair I’m saying if you try to say Rings he don’t have the most rings no no no he got the most I go get the ring yeah but I’m saying no no no let’s let’s be clear no no no we’re going to be clear we’re going to be very

Clear Mike has the I’m going to get the ring like if we get the ring it’s cuz Mike’s on this team that’s the difference in the most rings there’s a lot of [ __ ] that got the most rings but they were assembled with a team that had enough [ __ ] that could help go get

The mother ring like you know what I’m saying I don’t think y’all remember how them Bulls played I don’t think y’all remember how they play I don’t how I got to the NBA everybody in Chicago is like taking on the challenge our brand of basketball is always going to be Let’s

Take On The Challenge we going to play in your face we going to press all game I like how he speaks as as as a we perspective for with the bulls what you mean we not going we never went we not we not having it yeah honestly at

Sometimes Brian we just want you to be bald and wear 23 that’s it just be bald and wear 23 and then yeah that’s not happening I think it’s that’s already won 23 the greatest competitor to me is always going to be Mike like is Jordan

That fire like do he just be doing is the shoe that cold yeah is it the P it around the little guards like was that you know what I’m saying is it I got him up here is it what was it I’m like what is it that is disturbing me to say

Anybody is better than this man like you get what I’m saying well for you it’s a lot though you from Chicago you grew up your game but I’m just looking at all the challenges as a man as a representative of basketball he’s going to be my favorite competitor ever there

Would never be a y but we’re talking about a face for basketball LeBron James you have done a phenomenal job if they ever ask yeah for real and that’s broke you get what I’m saying when you look at MJ and when you look look at how he approached the game he approached it

With one mindset he would make up things to get himself going and everyone knew that the NBA knew that there was a fear that went from his teammates to his players and I love it my favorite quote is no one’s ever been coddled to Greatness and so that’s what I took from

That MJ wasn’t going to coddle anybody he was going to test the coaches the GMS down to the 15th player if you want to be a part of this you have to be able to pull your weight being under a microscope that has never been seen before in modern sports there was one

Highlight that Bob cus did you know that little intro package oh yeah and they’re showing nothing but Michael Jordan highlights and they’re like will Michael Jordan add to his sixth title will he go down as the great and it’s just full I believe I you didn’t even know who the

They were playing much of what he has been about has been Artistry and a far-reaching impact beyond the game game so while cold facts capture only a part of it those facts alone are stunning 10 scoring titles five most valuable player Awards five times the MVP of the finals

Now a single Victory from a sixth NBA championship and if it all Ends Tonight he will leave with that rarest of athletic distinctions he will leave without ever having relinquished his position as the greatest player in the game game five next you didn’t even know that they were playing the Jazz cuz they

Did a one minute intro on I believe I could fly with Michael Jordan and he never let you down he got there and he never let you down Michael Jordan I understand why he took a break because no one had ever seen that type of scrutiny and intensity and growth right

So I understand why he took a break so I typically don’t hold that against them because not many humans that ever had to experience I think Michael Jordan is the the the greatest combination of like focus and determination and like clutch because when he got a hold of the throne

He’d never let it go he was a God he still is so I think when you’re talking about goats there are legitimate categories that you could place all of these guys in it’s harder to be great and dominant today than it was 20 years ago it was harder to be great in the

Jordan era than it was in the Bill Russell area always everybody MJ fan we oh MJ MJ MJ this is for you man this is the inspiration that I had when I was growing up seriously but uh Mike was just raw killer killer it’s hard for like you can’t it’s

Tough don’t get me wrong I mean growing up obviously and I got the Jersey tatted on my stomach like MJ was the the greatest of all time in my opinion up until two years ago like at what point do you just give credit when credit is due like that’s

All I’m saying 100% all those comparisons they’re fun to talk about just how intense it gets I sat behind Kyrie for two and a half years and all he would do is watch old video clips of Kobe old games of of Jordan I often didn’t spend a lot of time with people

You can ask them I’ll be in my house dedicated myself to watching greatness you know that’s Kobe MJ studying these positions that guys that are in the older generation have done before me so I want to be just like them he would sit on the plane he didn’t

Really play cards you know didn’t really you know he would listen to music but more than anything he would just be watching games right not NE not like you know I’m talking about like of great players that that was his time he’s very much an introvert when it comes to some

Of those things so okay is he better than Michael Jordan speaking of history no no no I I would say that he’s in his own he’s on his own lane man can’t compare them yeah these are two of the best to ever lace them up but within our

Culture they are two true icons comparison is the thief of Joy like and and that right there was like one of the most profound things I’ve heard because every time in my life or you know watching someone else you see a moment that’s so pure and beautiful and you try

To compare it to something else and then it’s just like completely pulls it away instead of just appreciating it like we have unbelievable things happening in our world we try to compare to history and who did this person is like bro give like I had spoken to Doug Collins and he

Told me a great Michael Jordan story it’s one he’s told before where we played the Indiana Pacers and we were down 25 at the end of the third quarter and I took Michael out of the game and I said look Michael uh I know you think we

Can still win this game but we got to play you know in two nights and and uh you know we had that string of however many double digit games in a row was 800 900 and something I forget the number but if we make a little run I’ll put put

You back in the game well we didn’t well I found out that uh after the game was over that uh he had eight points in the game and he broke a streak of like 860 something games um he landed on eight points or whatever and so the media was

On you know how do you think Michael’s going to be with this you know I said you know look Michael’s got championship rings he’s got gold medals he’s got NCA championships he’s got nvps he’s not going to care about the eight points so he he met with the media and and and

Agreed you know that bus is lonely as a coach when you’re sitting there after you’ve got your head handed to you so I was sitting on the bus uh Jordan met him on the bus and he said scoot over and uh he looked at me and he said do you think

I can still play he’s like yeah Michael what are you talking about absolutely that’s why I’m here to be here to help you he goes okay he said you know to be my coach you have to believe in me and believe I can still play and I said

Michael I believe in you he said you did the right thing to tonight you did the right thing tonight I don’t care about the points but I needed to know that you believe in me you know tomorrow I’ll just you know give me the ball and so you know they’re staying at whatever

Hotel that they were staying at I believe in in Georgetown and he has a few cocktails smokes a couple cigars all the things you’re not supposed to do you get back about 3:30 in the morning in Washington at 7:30 that morning you know Doug’s walking out early in the morning

And he sees Michael down there you know just put in this crazy lift and crazy work drenched and sweat working with Tim Grover and he’s like man we’re back to back we got in 3:00 a.m. in the morning and Jordan is down there just chasing working just working he’s down in the

Fitness room with Tim Grover working out like you can’t believe now he’s 41 years old we play the New Jersey Nets the next night and Michael scores the first three times he has the ball Jordan both those meetings both those years long that’s a three pointer from B Scott takes a timeout and M Michael comes over he says I want the ball right there the rest of the game and don’t take me out till I tell you so he goes

Out that night and scores 50 points he’s like yeah I told you my yeah I still play yeah I can still F and that was something that you know so much of relationships is communication but also half the battle or maybe more is is showing up

Being 40 years old playing back to backs he played 82 games yeah 82 but the crazy part about it he would never sit out of practice like Doug cin like M man no like he wanted to play and practice every single day he’s 40 years old like

And still every day first one there always called The Breakfast Club he always getting his LIF in yeah but like he wanted to practice every day and play 82 games at 40 like I was in awe again like seeing Michael Jordan somewhere we all idolized everybody did I don’t care

What you say everybody idolized Michael Jordan it was overwhelming to meet you know to finally meet the guy I’ve looked up to my whole life you know the conversation is going to always be be had and it’s great for debates because they want to compare errors they want to

Comp compare players and and and who they’ve seen haven’t had much dialogue with him in my 20 years or 19 years in this in this business but part of me wouldn’t be here without MJ’s inspiration what was the like meeting uh Michael Jordan for you was that pretty

Cool oh yeah it was great you know um for him for me to meet M Jordan was like I think better than the president I always wanted to be like him growing up it’s crazy that the game winning shot tonight was a fade away and it was

Inspired by MJ you know the way he wore his shoes the way he wore his uniform I mean all the way down to like some of the cars that he drove um how much he inspired me I know that I you luck the conversation is uh going to

Continue to happen no matter what and it’s and it’s it’s great for the game yeah it’s great for the barber shops it’s great for the game um um it’s going to continue to Happen and I hope you guys enjoyed the video if you did be sure to hit that like button subscribe if you are new and comment down below what team and player you would like to see in the next video and here are two new videos I think that you will also Enjoy
