Tim Grover (

) who was a personal trainer for MJ & Kobe, explains how Kobe’s decision to get up, make his 2 free throws & walk off the court on his own after tearing his Achilles is an example of his Cleaner mindset 💪

MJ put up ridiculous numbers in the 1993 NBA Finals vs the Suns… while shooting 50% from the field and 40% from 3! He holds the record for highest Finals scoring avg at 41ppg 🥶

Reminder:
@ScottiePippen
didnt start a HS game until Senior year. His only offer was to be a team manager at NAIA college Central Arkansas. He had to work to stay in school & be considered part of the basketball team.
The last 4 players to win a scoring title, regular season MVP, championship, Finals MVP & 1st Team All-Defensive selection in the same year:
▪️Michael Jordan (1998)
▪️Michael Jordan (1996)
▪️Michael Jordan (1992)
▪️Michael Jordan (1991)
SEA’s coach Karl made comments days b4 the game that Jordan had been playing safe, like he was trying to protect himself from injury by relying on jumpers. MJ let him know he wasn’t gonna let coaches play mind games w the 🐐 & torched the Sonics for 45!
In 1999, Jordan went to LA to visit Phil Jackson & watch the Lakers play. When he saw Kobe tho, the first thing Kobe did was challenge him to 1-on-1 😅

Harden’s highest scoring season (18-19) he had 𝟐,𝟖𝟏𝟖 points.
If you subtract all of MJ’s 3P FGs made in MJ’s highest scoring season (86-87) he still had 𝟑,𝟎𝟎𝟓 points.
In a preseason game v the Bulls, rookie Gary Payton decided to trash talk MJ. A few weeks later in their 1st reg szn matchup, MJ told his teammates “Leave the f***ing rookie to me!” MJ put up 33pts & 7steals. Payton finished w 2pts. “Welcome to the NBA young fella” MJ told him😅
On The Dan Patrick Show, Chris Webber recalls the time he saw Jordan sitting on his Ferrari before Game 2 of the '97 playoffs. Jordan was smoking a cigar and asking the Bullets, “yo, who’s checkin’ me today?” They didn’t have an answer. He went on to drop 55 😅
#JumpmanHistory
The Bulls ALMOST lost 3 games in a row in ‘96! You know why it was a big deal? Bc between Nov 1990 and June 1998 (when he played his final game for Chicago), the Bulls NEVER lost 3 games in a row when MJ was playing.
NBA MVP 🏆

MJ’s sitting on his Ferrari, smoking a cigar. As C-Webb & Juwan Howard walk by, he asks “Yo, who’s checkin’ me tonight?” They didn’t have an answer. MJ dropped 55 on the Bullets that night 💀

The 🐐 loved nothing more than a challenge, especially at the rim 😈 Nobody was safe. Never backed down. MJ wanted all that smoke 🔥🔥

MJ tells campers “don’t sleep on Tim Duncan... probably the most fundamental big man” in the NBA. Duncan had just finished his rookie season...

in 1998, Michael Jordan dropped 42 on the Knicks wearing an original pair of Air Jordans from 1985 that were a size too small. He also talked some trash to Spike Lee in the process 🗣

▪️"I give for the basis of giving, not to advertise & not to promote"
▪️Would choose Pippen, Magic, Worthy & Hakeem for a pickup game
Down 3 in Game 6 vs the Jazz, Jordan was the only Bull to touch the ball in the final 41.9 seconds of the game. He took matters into his own hands ...

they built ‘The Jordan Dome’ so MJ could workout & play pick-up when they weren’t filming. Originally, they were going to put 2 hoops in a parking lot, but

1992: a cat-5 hurricane hit FLA destroying communities & displacing 1000s of fams. MJ wanted to help & got an add'l exhibition game vs Miami on the schedule so all proceeds could go to rebuilding efforts & 700 floor seats reserved for kids most affected
(2001) After donating his salary to victims of 9/11, a 38-year-old MJ scored 41 pts on the Nets in front of a packed house in preseason play 📺

MJ debuted the predominantly white Concord Air Jordan 11s in the ‘95 ECSF vs the Magic. After being fined by the league the first 2 games bc they didn’t abide by league regulations, he wore the black (later dubbed “Space Jam”) 11s in games 4, 5 & 6!
