25 years ago basketball fans said that about MJ, comparing him to the idols they had in the 70s.

Great documentary. Not a huge basketball fan but it was amazing to relive a time when Michael Jordan and the Bulls ruled the world.

Splash Brothers from Golden State are, apples and oranges, not a direct comparison here, but exciting to watch (when they're healthy)
Lrgp39
And they turned my historically ass dubs team into a dynasty. Just like Pip and MJ
jpatterson45
Back when Rodman was the only one covered in tats

Penny and shaq were my heros in 1995.

96 bulls. Best TEAM ever.

I feel like Pippen would really shine today. The whole Point Forward thing has really caught on and he was such a smart passer.
FrontOfTheBackside
Did people/players conveniently forget The Celtics won every championship, except for 2, between 57’ & 69’ and had an, “8peat”
NoneOfThemKnew
Hard as it is to compare now to the '90s, at least they're both in the modern era where most of the talent was in one league with 20+ teams.
StephenDaniels
Bill Russell was almost criminally under-appreciated. Particularly so by the Boston fans.
DonConquer
If they played today, this 3 would be worth a whole team in value $$$
BanderasForScale
Jerry Sloan coached horribly in that last finals game in 98 Jesus. Mike scores 45 of 87 total points and didn’t see double teams lol
Also, they knew Pippen was hobbled, why didn’t they pick and roll him into oblivion
Astro777
Jordan was 15/35 shooting while the rest of the team was 19/32. Holding a team to 87 points (10 below their season average) is fantastic.
But still, you make Ron Harper, hobbled Scottie, and kukoc beat you.
MarioBoon
REwatching nineties playoff games now. The defense! The bad offense! The low scores!
Craizie
Meet Rodman at a Dallas titty bar. Was drink suicides. Nice guy.
ThoughtSandwich
NBA in 80s and 90s was super physical.

"He said hello to me in the hallway, that made it personal. So I put up 70 points that game." -MJ

Hahahaha. What a comment. Brilliant
godofmore
I'm sensing a meme being born..
noonehasthisoneyet
Mike was great to his fans but a grade a asshole to his teammates and colleagues.
MiguelCamino
But they were better for it. He pushed everyone to work as hard as he did.
For some odd reason I really liked Reggie Miller.
Because he was awesome.
Yeah but it didnt really make sense. Im from Denmark and couldnt watch games, only highlights when on the news. So I collected tradecards
4charactersorlonger
Hard to compare, it’s a different game now.
Very good point
Baruder0
Unfortunately a game I can't watch now. I hope the pendulum swings back to the way it was but I'm doubtful.
merdock379
Yeah dribbling and defense is just a suggestion.
Another oldmanyellsatcloud.jpg who doesn't understand the gather rule.
Lol yeah super complicated to understand haha. It’s BS is what I’m saying.

Now it's played on horseback, and your allowed three bolas per team.

Same here - Just not the same game anymore

Jordan-Pippen was the best tandem in NBA history. Fight me.
wiltsjunk
They were amazing.... but Magic and Kareem are two top 5 players in NBA history
supraman2turbo
I mean we can fight if you want but I agree with you
An argument could (COULD) be made for Shaq and Kobe. But Shaq was just a wholly different beast from the rest of mankind.
heyitssnowing
So boring to watch now. No defense, just let everyone get their turn shooting
Steffn
Sounds like the Euroleague would be more of your thing then.
lestasi
How does it feel to be officially old?
Found the person who doesn't actually watch basketball.
Whatwhatsomethingbutt
Give it a rest. If they didn't play D scores would be 180-190 like they are in all star games.
The games go to 120s 130s. The overtime games in the 90s wouldn’t even score that much points
chikichikiyei
He could've gotten the seventh.
vietnameseCowboy
He could of got 9 if u include retiring to play baseball
StubbDubya
You mean if hadn't been forced to take time out due to gambling issue.
Yeah. And loan sharks killed his dad
DrShrimpPuertoRico85
Hard to beat that trio
rayneayami
Need Tony Kukoch to round out the group.
wheresmybanana
Hard to beat just Jordan!:)
Agunslingerborn
I personally like Steve Kerr
punisheratx
Hard to beat but the trio of Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili is definitely up there
Now you’re speaking my language. GO SPURS GO!!!
GotDilleyd
SPURS!
Trustmeimblack
Uhhhh Riley Reid, Tiffany Thompson, Malena Morgan
How are they are on the hardwood? Do the have good ball handling skills? Or would they just be riding the bench?
MohammadBinLadenHussain
Lucy Thai, Jasmine Byrne, Teagan Presley

Would like to have a word with you.
That would be a hell of a matchup
It would be. Unfortunately the trios in their prime never overlapped.
This is why time machines need to be invented

aDrugAddictThatIsntDeadInside
You can’t play sports using that kind of drug smart guy.
Thankyouforthis
Child prodigies play as well as Slash. I don't see any 8 years olds shooting free throws blindfolded.
itrynottocommentbutyoumakemecringe
I’m pretty sure you’re using incorrect units of measure.
Giantmutantcrab
He's paraphrasing
Haha. I'm pretty sure Slash was using the incorrect units of measurement.
ACSwineburne
Yeah, so do like 90% of rock stars... it's a massively different idea from shooting a ball with no visual reference.
justinchancellorsstandin
Apart from doing the exact shit they have done thousands of times before, so yeah.
