  • MJ Mondays – No. 171

    https://www.reddit.com/r/michaeljordan/s/KxC5jv5lNL

    A Reddit user compiled a list of LeBron fans who watch Michael Jordan highlights and become converted into Michael Jordan/GOAT fans. This is really cool.

    Fandom is typically subjective, but I don’t understand how you can NOT say that MJ is the greatest. Look at his achievements. The most impressive is that he bookended his first retirement with 2 different 3-peats. I don’t know how that gets topped.

    Records are meant to be broken but I haven’t not seen that happen yet when it comes to professional basketball.

    This list pretty good. Check it out at the link above. I’m going through them myself. It is really entertaining.

    Let me know what you think.

    In your opinion, what does a player need to do in order to surpass Michael Jordan?

    This is not the typical post that lauds Michael Jordan for his accomplishments in basketball and impact in the culture.

    I got this question from the NBATalk subreddit. But it created the need for a metric, an ideal, for a player to surpass in order to be considered greater than MJ.

    • 6-0 in the Finals
    • 6x Finals MVP
    • 5x NBA MVP
    • 1 DPOY
    • Rookie of the Year
    • 2x Gold Medalist
    • College Champion
    • etc.

    To date, no player in the author’s mind. has come close. Bill Russell has the closest body of work that could compare in magnitude with his 11 championships as a player and coach. However his impact is not as great in the culture as Michael Jordan. (See the Nike subsidiary, Jordan brand, and his other endorsements.)

    This long-form explanation on why you didn’t see MJ23 in any video games from the mid-90s until the early Teens with the release of NBA2K11.

    (I can’t embed because there’s some sort of universal block on viewing YouTubes outside the website.)

    That video is definitely worth your time if you have 4 to 5 minutes to spare.

    Describe one of your favorite moments.

    The Knickerbockers (Knicks) won the NBA Finals last night. Now I am happy that they won. But, somehow I felt sort of subdued. I don’t know how else to explain it.

    Yes, this is one of my favorite moments. Watching a team that I’ve supported since childhood finally win a championship. It makes up for the losses that

    Congratulations to the New York Knickerbockers!
