If anyone talks about Kobe or Lebron you should run away. This documentary is about Jordan and the Bulls.
That’s the conversation.
Post of the day
Man you already know sports media heads need a controversy to sell.
The truth is the this footage was taken and put together a long long time ago.
Bill Simmons said he was trying to use this footage after the first wave of 30 for 30 hit
but ESPN couldn't afford it. And the NBA wasn't really up for showing all that raw behind the scenes footage
and Jordan would have to clear it
and get paid
since I know you started watching NBA in 2000 and think Rodman was on all 6 championship teams and think Steve Kerr a career henchman that never average double digit points and never scored 28 points in a single game is some type of all time great let me inform you about the first 3 chips that people act like the bulls never achieved without rodman... Pippen only average 20 or more points in 1 of those first 3 chips.. Horace Grant never average 15 points.. 2 out of those first 3 chips pippen and Horace Grant average less than 32 points combined for the season.. Now have you ever heard of the 21 foot of shit? That's what mj called the 3 white cacs that played center for the bulls.. When you say bulls were stacked please tell me outside of pippen and role player Horace Grant who was these legends on the bulls first 3 chips you speak of? Stacey king, Scott williams, will perdue? I'll wait
exactly.. The first 3 chips.. Besides maybe 4-5 other players on that team most non bulls fans couldn't point out the other players in a line up.. It's why they always interview specific players from the first 3 chips cause nobody knows the rest of them or even care.. In fact most of the time it's just interviews with people from the starting lineup.. You rarely here a Stacey king interview or an interview from the 21 ft of shit.. All these new nigs who started watching NBA in 2000 and get all their info from YouTube and Google swear to God bulls never won without rodman think Kerr was on all 6 chips and was some kind of 3 point shooter God smh... I remember I crushed a new NBA watcher with hardcore bulls facts he didn't know.. When I showed him Steve Kerr never average double digit in points and never scored 28 points in his life it was a total shocker to himI remember the 21 feet of shit” line!
Mike did play with a bunch of nobodies.
I remember the 21 feet of shit” line!
Mike did play with a bunch of nobodies.
NBA on NBC actually had a GRAPHIC on screen that called them the Jordeneers.
People who actually watch the NBA at that time know what it was.. Jordan had to score a lot of points in order to win... Pippen jumper would look shaky at times or some games he would be iffy on the offensive end..Horace struggle to even give you 15 points so we know asking him to drop 20+ in big games gonna be damn near impossible so who else gonna pick up the slack? Bj might give you 12-14 points but asking him to drop 25 ain't gonna happen.. Only person able to put up points effectively was jordan.. Phil couldn't be like yooo Horace we gonna need you to average like 20-22 a night this series or hey pip you think you can drop 25 a night this series.. Nope.. Not gonna happen
8 Players Who Loved Being Michael Jordan's Teammate And 7 Who Hated It
Commonly known as the greatest basketball player of all time, Michael Jordan was a cosmic player to watch, one of enormous athleticism. His popularity was not due to him just being a great player, Mic
NBA fans were not just able to stay awake but expected to be entertained for years to come when watching what this human being was capable of doing after being unleashed on court. And no one can forget those six championships his Chicago Bulls won after finally being able to get over the hump of Isaiah Thomas and Bill Laimbeer of The Motor City Pistons. There was also the Boston Celtics carried by Larry Bird and Robert Parrish and the Los Angeles Lakers led by an All-Star of players like Magic Johnson and James Worthy. All three teams posed themselves as an annual nemesis to Jordan’s journey towards the Larry O’brien NBA Championship Trophy. But as he is famously known, Jordan squashed each goliath one by one on his way toward winning an unprecedented 6 NBA championship trophies.
As famous as Michael Jordan is for being a great basketball player he is less known for playing the role as an antagonist. He often disgruntled not just for his opponents but some of his teammates as well. Many NBA players held ill feelings towards Michael Jordan. A lot of these ill wills were birthed from matters besides the many physical skirmishes fans witnessed against famous rivals like the Pistons and the Knicks. Some of those battles occurred behind the cameras.

15Loved: B.J. Armstrong
via nba.com
Everybody remembers B.J. Armstrong. He was that tiny character one would often find tirelessly following Michael Jordan around the court (kind of like a puppy dog if you will). He reminded fans of their school buddy’s little brother who always tagged along with them whenever playing pickup games, but boy he could play. It’s just that most fans do not recall seeing him shine on the court without big brother Michael by his side waiting to receive his passes before making one of those many effortless swishes or drives to the basket. Jordan obviously made Armstrong famous. But does one ever wonder what if? What if this scrawny guard began his NBA basketball career playing on a professional league team without Mike? Who knows how it would have turned out.
14Hated: Richard Hamilton
via bleacherreport.com
A likely underrated group of players who hated playing with Michael Jordan was the Washington Wizards. Jordan made several hateful comments towards his Bulls teammates but the bruises bursting from those were often soothed by all the winning and championships. The Washington Wizards going 37-45 in each of the two seasons Michael Jordan played for them were not so forgiving. One of his then teammates, future All Star Richard Hamilton, was asked how he felt about a nickname created for the team by a national television broadcaster, “Michael Jordan and the Jordanaires.” Richard Hamilton first replied by shaking his head, then said, “nobody on this team considers himself a Jordanaire.” Richard Hamilton obviously felt insulted; shows that not every young player idolized Air Jordan.
13Loved: Steve Kerr
via youtube.com
Steve Kerr is one of several NBA players who profited from playing next to the greatest basketball player of all time. He locked down Game 6 for the Bulls during the 1998 NBA Finals versus the Karl Malone led Utah Jazz with a last second game winning shot. While double teaming Michael Jordan the Jazz left an unsuspected Steve Kerr wide open for an easy pass and a seemingly easy shot keeping them from winning a crucial game in the series. The Chicago Bulls won the game and went on to win the entire series four games to three. These days, Steve Kerr can be seen coaching the super team out in Oakland; the Golden State Warriors. Away from his playing career, Kerr has already experienced championship success as an NBA coach, and looks to continue that trend.
12Hated: Steve Kerr
via espn.com
Yes, we just told you that Steve Kerr loved playing alongside Michael Jordan in Chicago but that wasn't always the case with these teammates. Though famous for winning with Michael Jordan, Steve Kerr is also known for being involved in a violent skirmish with his teammate as well. It occurred during a Bull’s 1995 pre-season scrimmage while in practice. Both then teammates traded verbal blows toward each other while playing a very intense contest. Jordan still held ill feelings towards a recent series loss to the Orlando Magic. He was trash talking Kerr. Steve trashed talked back standing up to Michael, being hell bent on not backing down. One throws a forearm the other returns with punches, in the end Steve ends up with a black eye.
11Loved: Horace Grant
via espn.com
Being a four time NBA Champion it is pretty obvious why this one time talented professional ball player would be mentioned as one of the eight players who loved playing with high scoring Mike. Just look at Horace Grant's twin brother, Harvey. He was just as talented a ball player as Horace but happened to play for a nobody team, the Washington Bullets alongside players like Bernard King, Jeff Malone, and Pervis Ellison. These were decent players known for their talented individual play, especially during those days before players like Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O’Neal, and Dwayne Wade came on board and began grabbing every fans attention. But Bernard King and Jeff Malone were no Scottie Pippen. They were no Dennis Rodman and they did not play for a coach who was even nearly as talented as Phil Jackson. Horace Grant is a great basketball player but his career would have likely ended up similar to Harvey without an All-Star to constantly provide for him all those easy layups and put-ins.
10Hated: Will Perdue
via tennessean.com
Michael Jordan’s highly talented basketball skills was always built around a determinedly fierce desire to win and a very rigid work habit. Such doggedness enabled him to grow into one of the greatest basketball players of all time but often turned some players off. One of those players was Will Perdue. Oh, Will was a good teammate. He won three championships with the Chicago Bulls as Michael Jordan’s back-up center to Bill Cartwright. Unfortunately even with all the championships the two did not always get along. One obvious example of their sour relationship was displayed during a team practice. Head Coach Phil Jackson always ran very physical practices. During one such practice Phil Jackson directed the teams to execute a specific play when Will set an illegal pick on Michael Jordan. Dunking Jordan warned Will not to repeat the foul. The team ran the play two more times and Will Perdue set an illegal pick on Michael Jordan again. All of a sudden, Kapow!! Will could be seen with his back on the floor of the court. Michael Jordan pummeled his then teammate.
9Loved: John Paxson
via hoopshype.com
Similar to B.J. Armstrong and Horace Grant, John PaxSon is another player whom no one would mention if he would not have played alongside flying Mike. Now John PaxSon was a good player. One may even place him close to being a great player when pointing out all those long range jump shots he made while playing with the Bulls. But like Armstrong, one has to note that he was making those shots while receiving passes from the best basketball player of all time. And many of those successful drives and open jumpers were made while opposing teams were double teaming his superstar teammate leaving him wide open. Who;s to say that PaxSon could have been such a solid player with any other team. Paxson, like so many other, relied on Michael Jordan.
8Hated: Bill Cartwright
via ballslife.com
Bill Cartwright played the role of a hardworking, dependable, tall center for Michael Jordan. One can arguably say that the Chicago Bulls may not have beaten top opponents like the LA Lakers, Detroit Pistons, New York Knicks, and Portland Trailblazers without his help. Somebody had to block out hard banging centers like Kevin Duckworth and Vlade Divac. But Bill Cartwright did not receive a warm welcome from Michael Jordan after joining the team during the summer of '88 when he was traded by his then former team the New York Knicks for star power forward Charles Oakley. Michael Jordan loved playing alongside Charles Oakley. He hated seeing him leave. Bill Cartwright felt the brunt of Michael’s displeasure, receiving constant name calling during practice and being thrown difficult passes in order to spotlight what Michael Jordan always referred to as Bill’s bad hands. Yes Cartwright won three championships with Michael Jordan but would hardly refer to him as his buddy.
7Loved: Toni Kukoc
via croatiaweek.com/
Toni Kukoc, known as basketball’s Pink Panther, began playing in the NBA after experiencing much success and stardom as a professional basketball player in Europe. After dominating several European titles including the Euroleague, the European championships, the Italian Championship, and the Italian Cup, Toni Kukoc got bored and ventured out into the NBA. Luckily he was drafted by the Chicago Bulls. Even though he delayed joining the team by a couple of years his wait was rewarded by playing with one of the most conquering teams in the NBA’s history. During the first two of his seven years playing with the Chicago Bulls Michael Jordan, happened to be on vacation playing baseball in Alabama. When Michael Jordan came back to his senses by rejoining the Bulls, the team came back roaring. The Bulls featured Toni Kukoc playing side by side with Michael Jordan and the success continued.
6Hated: Rodney McCray
via kingofwallpapers.com
Rodney McCray joined the Chicago Bulls in 1992 after undergoing a thrilling run of ten years playing hoops for the Houston Rockets, Sacramento Kings, and the Dallas Mavericks. In 1992-93 Rodney McCray was provided the privilege of playing for the defending champions Chicago Bulls with the honorable Michael Jordan. Most hoopsters would look toward such a pairing as a tremendous opportunity. But Michael Jordan though highly talented was also maliciously competitive, so much so that he was known to tear both opponents and teammates to shreds. Poor Rodney happened to be a victim in such a shredding during a team scrimmage where the two then teammates where opposing each other. Michael Jordan repeatedly screamed at Rodney’s face calling him “loser” stating he will always be one. The vivacious verbal attack struck the forward’s confidence hard, and seemingly affected his play.
5Love: Charles Oakley
via nordenergi.org
Charles Oakley did not win any championships with Michael Jordan but most of those who personally knew both of these men would agree that they got along real well. In fact, in terms of pure friendship Charles Oakley was likely the teammate Michael Jordan liked the best. Charles Oakley was Michael Jordan’s long time power forward during those years before Michael and the Bulls began kicking the rest of the league’s butte. He was a tough, serious player. Much of that toughness rubbed off on Michael providing him a role model on tenacity and competitiveness. Charles would later move on to be a longtime star with the New York Knicks. Though ensuing rivals the two’s friendship continued and still remains today. These two truly enjoyed their time together on the Bulls.
4Hated: Stacey King
via sports.yahoo.com
Stacey King managed to remain a Chicago Bull for five years winning a championship with the team in three of those years. His talent was OK but was shuffled between the then Bulls army of big forwards and teammates which included himself, Will Perdue, and Scott Williams. Stacey King’s most famous contribution to the Chicago Bulls is that all out war for the ball his teammates had in front of the New Knicks basket while he stood up to Charles Smith. Unfortunately for Stacey King another famous incident was when he commented after one of Michael Jordan’s explosive games where he and Jordan combined for 70 points. King contributed one point while Michael Jordan scored 69. Yeah, King didn't exactly help out much on that night. Meanwhile, Jordan was Jordan.
3Loved: Dennis Rodman
via chicago.cbslocal.com
Dennis Rodman first became famous playing the role of a Bad Boy along with teammates Isaiah Thomas, Bill Laimbeer, and John Salley of the Detroit Pistons. He later joined the Chicago Bulls in 1995 becoming part of the franchise’s second three-peat run. Dennis Rodman was a ferocious rebounder, rim protector, and tenacious defender. He did everything he could to make scoring points and making assists easy for stars Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan. Dennis Rodman showed obvious affection for Michael Jordan. Both MJ and Scottie Pippen’s acceptance of him as a teammate (despite his then off court distractions) motivated Dennis Rodman to be the basketball star he was capable of being. Rodman may receive a lot of heat for his personality but there is no denying his contributions to the game of basketball.
2Hated: Kwame Brown
via dailysnark.com
During his short stint as both player and general manager for the Washington Wizards, Michael Jordan made Kwame Brown the team’s first round pick in the 2001 NBA Draft. Jordan’s pick is famous for being one of the biggest busts of all time. But not only was the bust hard on Jordan it placed Kwame Brown in the spotlight, demanding instant perfection from him. He could not take the pressure. His performance during games was horrible and he paid dearly for it. Michael Jordan was known to place Kwame in front of the team to function as a peon where he was forced to endure long lectures, and at times tirades from the team leader. Teammates would often witness the poor guy torn in front of them broken down into tears.
1Loved: Scottie Pippen
via sportingnews.com
No one took as much advantage and gained as much hype from Michael Jordan’s winning performance than Scottie Pippen. Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan go together like Joe Montana and Jerry Rice, Wayne Gretzky and Mark Messier, peanut butter and jelly. Of all Michael Jordan’s teammates throughout his entire playing career Scottie Pippen is the only one to have played in all six championship seasons. He was the one talented enough to endure Mike’s harsh criticisms and demand for perfection to stick around for the long run. And it was not until Scottie began to develop into the All-Star player he would eventually become that the Bulls began winning all those NBA titles. Air Jordan needed a stress ball to take some of that pressure off him and Scottie Pippen felt glad to lend a hand.

that being said?
I am NOT here for any Kobe or Lebron slander of ANY kind.
I am NOT here for any Kobe or Lebron slander of ANY kind.
Negro, I watched LA, and Detroit win chips before Shaq & Kobe and Sheed & RIP. Just because I don’t suck on Mike’s teet like y’all doesn’t mean I’m young.
I’m just not stupid enough to know that everything gets better with time and evolution. EVERYTHING!
Jordan Stans are the only aliens that believe athletes peaked at Mike... LMFAO!!!
More proof of how much history is distorted and manipulated by the media:
I swear to god I can’t wait for the time when all of the crusty Jordan Stans are dead or too old to hold conversation because he will no longer be on that pedestal.

The only category Mike winning on this comparison is something that takes a TEAM to do!
The individual category, as in, pound for pound, better player with the ball in your hand goes to LeBron.
I meant all 10 parts

One dude played three years of college basketball before turning pro. The other is LeBron. Can’t see how this graphic shows more than they are both great but one got a three year head start on posting the stat line.that being said?
I am NOT here for any Kobe or Lebron slander of ANY kind.
actually I posted their state side by side when LeBron played the same exact numbers of games.. And jordan outscored him by 3,500 points had close to 700 more steals and more than 50 blocks than LeBron when compared to the same exact amount of games played.. So jordan had more poihts, steals, and blocks.. Most of ya LeBron fans stayed clearly away from that thread cause it showed how much better jordan was.. Now that LeBron has played 80 more games than jordan his points and blocks are more
yup.
I got 1 better jordan almost average a triple double in the first finals.. He average a double double.. Led the team in points, assist, and was 2nd in rebs.. Most people don't know thatlet me just drop this nugget...
tell Westbrook I said HI
look at my response at their side to side stats when LeBron played the same amount of games as jordan.. Jordan had 3500 more points close to 700 more steals and 50 more blocks
See what I mean Scotty didn't even average 20 points a game in the finals... Now think about the 3rd scorer who didn't even average 15 points.. This is what jordan had to deal with for 6 chips
ALL that is true
but again
it doesn't and should not DIMINISH Lebron in ANY way.
He is the next one.
I really don't understand why BOTH these black men can't be celebrated
at the same damn time
cause listen
I could start an 8 page thread on all the SO CALLED NEXT JORDANS
@GAMBINO that might be a WONDERFUL documentary idea
and ANOTHER 8 page thread on the BUSTS who were hyped MORE than Jordan and FAILED MISERABLY.
the fact that coming out of high school that kid did NOT buckle under ALL that pressure
and off the not even a DUI or rape allegation or drugs or nothing
the charitable acts that may surpass all before him?
AND he PERFORMED on the court?
Again EACH of these men deserve respect.
Again they could make a WHOLE lot of 30 for 30s on these scrubs ya'll conveniently ignoring while they claiming hall of fame status.
breh....
yall really need to lighten the fuck up....
none of this shyt is this serious
Oh, now that would be a coup. Got no hookups in that regard lol.
Anyone know when this will re-air?
