Unknown (00:00):
So I said, Michael Jordan may not be as good as I
thought he was hottake. Here'sthe thing. I've been thinking
about this, like goatconversation. And what I've come
up with is Michael Jordan isprobably the greatest scorer
we've ever seen. He's alsoprobably the fiercest athlete

(00:23):
we've ever seen. Not like thebest athlete, but maybe the
fiercest like, he had, like thiswarrior mentality that he
brought to the game, like whenit all costs very, like
aggressive in nature, whichdefinitely helps for the culture
of a killer, killer kind ofteam, right. But here's the rub.

(00:46):
He did a three P. And the yearthat he took off, they only lost
they only won two less games. Solike, the team that he was on,
was phenomenal. And you knowwhat it might reminds me of,
it's like the John Moransituation currently, Jamal

(01:09):
Brandt is you want to see him,right? Like he's phenomenal,
phenomenal athlete. But histeam's pretty good without him.
They're a playoff team withouthim. Right? So I was having this
conversation in a group text,where we talked about basketball
pretty regularly. And I madethis correlation. I think

(01:34):
without the team and the coach,Michael Jordan and Damian
Lillard are the same player.
Don't kill me. Understand.
Understand that you were like,How dare you? He's the goat.
Like you have all this mythologyaround Jordan, as if he played
one V five, against everybody.
The truth of the matter is,there's a couple of people on

(02:00):
his team that if weren't there,he wouldn't want anything. He
was a larger than lifepersonality. Like he made people
want to come watch the game. Thestories around and that's really
what makes the NBA. It's thestories. It's the storylines,
right? He made the story, themythology around him, it was so
great. That like, you know, youactually believe that he was

(02:23):
godlike. And you know, for hisposition he was, but we know for
a fact that Jordan by himselfdoesn't win. Prior to Scottie
Pippen getting there like he'sgetting bounced in the first
round. I mean, that's, that'sfactual. And then when he leaves
when he takes his sabbatical, inthe middle of his, in the middle

(02:49):
of his career, they're still avery good team playoff team,
like maybe would have gotten tothe finals. You know what I
mean? Like, it's, it was prettyclose. And so all that to say,
maybe Michael Jordan name isgood as I thought he was. Not to
say that he's not bad. But I'm,I'm saying like, if we're

(03:11):
comparing him to, let's say,Lebron James. There isn't much
of a comparison. He's bigger,stronger, faster. And when he
leaves an NBA team, they becomehigh school squat. It's, it's a
pretty, like, there isn't a teamthat he left and they were like,

(03:34):
oh, yeah, we could still get tothe point. They don't make it to
the playoffs, like at all. Andso, you know, all I'm saying is,
I know that this is acontroversial topic, and this
might get me canceled. You know,so be you Michael Jordan fans
out there. I listen. I'm gonnaMichael Jordan fan as well. But
can we admit that like, it'smore mythology than actual like,

(03:57):
basketball? Here's, here's theother thing, the less you know,
that like, he might not be thegreatest basketball player
alive. He doesn't actually makepeople better around him. He
wouldn't have been a good coach.
He's not a good owner. Maybe heknows how to play but doesn't

(04:22):
really understand the game. Iknow. Hot Topic, hot topic. I
understand. Let me let me leavethis alone. Because like, I
don't want no smoke. I don'twant no smoke. Because you know,
I don't play basketball. Youknow, saying like, I don't talk
sports. And like people arelosing their mind as they listen
to this. And that's and that'sfair. As a as a fair critique.
The island Shut up. Y'all knownothing about what you're

(04:43):
talking about. Listen, that'sfair. I just be paying
attention. And it seemed like tome that like
LeBron James is by far and away,and maybe for a long time now
the best player to have everplayed the game. Just by like I
don't know, regular standards,basketball standards. Maybe I

(05:07):
just don't understand howbasketballs played. I just don't
watch enough of it apparently.
And that's fine. That's all Ihave to say about that. Maybe
Michael Jordan isn't as good asyou think he is. Maybe you
believe too much of themythology. And that's okay. Live
your life. That's all I got onthis one. About
