Lmao it’s so insane how bad the skill level was back then.

I think it’s funny that people are just now realizing what has been common knowledge for a while – assists and steals were juiced back then. Part of the reason Stockton will never be caught. You’d have to play every game for 20 years AND play many of them during an inflationary era.

With no one left to shit on, r/nba finally turned on Michael Jordan
WanAjin
The fact it’s titled 10 steals but only shows at most 8 is just weird considering this is from the NBA youtube channel.
TreyMcnally
I understand its important to contextualize what Jordan did in his playing career… but holy shit his competition was trash lol
OneOfPDiddysVictims
People will watch this and still talk about Wilt or other padded stats from the 50s-80s as if they are relevant to today

WE DONE WITH THE 80s
Brystvorter
Can someone please explain why they arent contesting his shots? This is some of the worst defense Ive ever seen. I never want to hear how tough the 90s were again.

When will they do Nick Van Exel? Dude used to get 20+ assists at home and everyone knew it was bullshit.

More importantly the GOAT had hair

Wow this is like grizzlies padding Jaren Jackson jr’s blocks. Must be investigated

Always glad to see the GOAT’s video.

Take away lebron’s travels and he has maybe his career points

The goat is a fraud, sad day for all of us

I counted 7 steals and 2 blocks. The 2 blocks were probably mistaken as steals. The 10th is definitely a phantom stat
Edit. Looks like he was credited with 10 steals and 2 blocks. So 3 phantom steals based in the video

That Net’s defense sure is.. something
thankyoujahseh
We done with the Michael Jordan’s 🗣️🗣️
Dj3garrett
This must have been the one game they didn’t play defense. All I heard was how tough it was. They let the best player dribble wherever he wanted with no resistance.
Youareallbeingpsyopd
I counted 7 clean ones. That’s it.

Only 6 actual steals? What a fraud. /s
PositiveReckoning
We all know some of those were Scottie’s.

im out of the loop. What prompted someone to rewatch this game and exclusively dispute MJ’s steal stats? just an obscure thing to do.
is-this-guy-serious
Do we know if this was common for every team in the 80s or just MJ?

MJ IS A FRAUD
BrooklynAtNight
All I can takeaway from watching this is that this dude was elite. Look at the way he moves and how quick he reads defenders. Also weird to see Mike with that hair, great decision to shave it all off.
schlab
Pippen allegedly tapped at least 5 of those steals.
demsouls
We need to make sure MJ sees all these posts talking about his fake stats, and he would take them super personally, and come back to sign with the shittiest team in the league RN (the raptors) and end with a 25-57 record next year. LFG.
BryanFair
I counted it around 7 or 8 but including the(actually 5 or maybe 6) is peak hating lmao
Diqt
Can we do this more for the present than the past? How about we negate every basket where there was a travel or carry within that possession, let’s see how that looks
