    Getting interviewed immediately after a game 7 finals loss must be toughhhh.

  2. SpicyP43905

    Fun fact, Scottie Pippen had 2 points in 42 minutes this game, wild.

  3. CalmResearch3132

    Jordan is and always was classy. Never ever spoke in the third person or referred to himself as The GOAT.

  4. throwawaythursday99

    His team as a whole shot 31% from the floor that game. Grant & Pippen were a combined 4-27.

  5. tbraith27

    I can’t believe the very next year the Pistons walked off the court and didn’t shake hands with the Bulls. Thomas was a complete a**hole and I’m glad the GOAT stopped him from playing on the Dream Team.

  6. gigglios

    The next 5 best bulls shot 8/50 or something

  7. Louis-grabbing-pills

    KD is scratching his head in confusion wondering why he didn’t demand a trade to the Pistons.

    This is fire. Lmaoo people gotta realize that the face of the league gets treated different though. I could only imagine the amount of crying people would do if they interviewed LeBron on the court after the opponent won a game 7 😂

  9. xpillindaass

    31 pts and 8 asts and they scored 74 pts lmao

  10. SliMShady55222

    Isiah Thomas works so hard to paint himself as a victim for being left off the dream team. It’s been over 30 years and he can’t seem to wonder why. Well this video explains it very well, zeke

    You don’t have to hear Mike talk about losing much.

    It’s almost surreal.

  12. solo118

    Act of a gentleman, and class act. Wasn’t it the next season when IT stomped off the court without a handshake?

  13. No-Lake-9920

    Legone would have went straight to the locker room with 45 seconds left and not even said shut even to his teammates . Let alone the other team. This man is the goat !!!!

  14. Scoob8877

    Instead of running away to hide in the locker room like LeBron.

  15. APOLLO_EiGhT

    Getting eliminated??? Huh? I thought MJ never lost? Atleast that’s what all the fanboys say??? But he did lose???

  16. ExtremeRazzmatazz408

    Am I wrong or did he immediately call out Isaiah Thomas after this game for being dirty?

  17. e_a_blair

    MJ was great enough that he doesn’t need the cult of personality y’all love to put on him. He wasn’t some legendary good sport, he held grudges and was borderline psychotic at times. Doesn’t change his greatness, just like shaking a few hands here doesn’t.

  18. The coverage was so in love with MJ that they interviewed a player from the losing team after the game. That’s the biggest take away for me.

  19. No_Stay4471

    Isn’t he supposed to talk about an injury or contemplate retirement?

  20. Likancic

    So he didnt see that season as a failure. Maybe Giannis is onto something

  21. Cap_Fun

    I still can’t believe that Isiah said during the Last Dance that teams didn’t shake hands and greet each other after the game and that when you lost you left the floor. Did he forget that these tapes existed?

  22. markFwahlberg

    this is why I never respect any “greats” that immediately walk off the court after a loss

    another reason why hes the GOAT, among many

  23. Attila_the_hun78

    That’s why he is and always be the GOAT

  24. nagollogan13

    Lebron would’ve leaked to the media that his hand or foot had been broken.

  25. goblue202320242025

    Great then the next year he spent two days saying the pistons were bad for the game and shitty champions and tried to drag basically all of their names through the mud

    I feel like people always forget how much shit the bulls talked before game 4 of the 91 eastern conference finals

    Like imagine the responses here if Lebron said anything like that about the Celtics before the heat eliminated them. Jordan is the goat but he’s also a giant asshole

  26. LarBrd33

    It’s super weird that people hold it against LeBron that he fell short in the Finals in a much stronger league. Jordan had a losing record 3 straight season before Pippen arrived. Then he lost 3 straight years to the Pistons in the playoffs without even making the Finals. In between his 6 titles, there was also the season where they came back and got their ass kicked by Orlando, but people make the excuse of him being in baseball shape. Then he closed out his season with two post-Pippen seasons on the Wizards where he missed the playoffs again. Jordan was the greatest of his era, but it’s bizarre that people credit him for some impeccable Finals record when this dude couldn’t even sniff the Finals until he was 27.

    It’s backwards logic. As if Jayson Tatum losing in the Finals during his age 23 season makes him lesser than someone like Lillard who hasn’t made the Finals once in 11 seasons.

  27. HandsInMyPockets247

    He lost in the playoffs? All the “MJ da GOT” people make it sound like he never lost in the playoffs ever, lol.

  28. The_Notorious_Donut

    Bro got interviewed after getting eliminated lmao

  29. I thought Jordan never got beat though? Wasn’t he 6-0?

  30. Shiccup1

    Meanwhile LePoorsportsman walks into the lockerroom before the game ends saying nothing to anybody

  31. Jesmer8490

    Of course Jordan showed class. He was a bona fide loser in the NBA before Scottie Pippen blossomed and he was surrounded by elite talent from the coach office all the way down to his bench

  32. NeptunesCreator

    Lebron would’ve been on the bus by now

  33. PsychoWarper

    If you look into this game it’s actually insane how hard MJ carried the Bulls, Grant and Pippen played fucking terrible. Honestly the whole team besides Mj played awful.

  34. ChiefSoldierFrog

    The fact that Jordan who carried this team with absolutely no help in game 7 came to cheer up his teammates and show some respect to the Pistons speaks volumes

  35. BlameZebby

    I expected the title to be a joke, but nope that was a legitimately classy and graceful response. I am impressed.

  36. Campa_d

    Imagine Lemickey doing anything that resembles this.

  37. TallanoGoldDigger

    you just know Skip Bayless has this in the chamber when he needs it

  38. Beneficial-Feed9999

    I wasn’t alive yet was this before or after IT walked off the court before the end of the game?
