@PorVida_SAS jordan was doing 5 of these a night, this isn't a highlight to MJ its just a normal layup. Plus Jordan palms the ball, this guy is just scooping it.
Never forget when team USA was down to Serbia and was on track to lose in the Olympic semi final. LeBron was getting bullied by Bogdanović, Steph Curry had other plans 🔥
Jon Jones salutes Conor McGregor for how he’s handled his injury and loss
“It’d be really easy to go back to the bar and have this rage and animosity. So far he’s still praising God… I just hope he doesn’t give up.”

4 things:
1.) His Mental + Physical Dominance - He was the greatest combination of both that the league has ever seen. Imagine the clutchness & football skills of Tom Brady mixed with the freakish athleticism of Lamar Jackson? That was Michael Jordan and having the greatest per-game stats and clutch metrics further substantiate this.
2.) His Stretch of Invincibility - From 1991–1998, if he had a training camp, he won, and HE was always the primary reason. Time and time again, the challengers came. Time and time again, he defended his turf. Two 3-peats will never happen again.
3.) His Carpe Diem - He maximized every one of his chances. 24-0 with home court, 24-0 as the higher seed - if he had the weapons, he won, and that's all you can ask for. There were no underachievements on his resume. If he lost, it was to a superior team.
4.) His Transcendence - He was bigger than the game. In sum, he was a modern-day superhero that can only be understood by those who were there.
Jordan was the greatest combination of individual dominance + team success that the league has ever seen. That's why he's the GOAT 🐐.
Michael Jordan said, “The stats that matter to me are games we win and rings we collect.
If I played for stats, I’d still be chasing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s scoring record. That doesn’t drive me. It’s all about winning championships and winning.”
