Asking 30 Michael Jordan Teammates Their Thoughts on The TRUE MJ (FROM EACH SEASON).

with that pass and he gives you that look that said, don't get lost, I ask him why he said you'll never get it back, so lo and behold, Stephen, at the end of the first quarter, I'm there and, of course. corner and he gives you that look and uh, thank God, it was on Swish and uh, everyone on the bench was happy, Michael was like, yeah, way to go, so you're in at that point, Bobby's stepping in and playing well , you know, waiting. that he can come in and do exactly what he's doing, you know, tough, tough defense and make jumpers when necessary and, uh, he's learning the offense pretty quickly, so you know.

It's really been a great addition for us, that was the best advice I got on the triangle offense when MJ gives you the ball, don't miss it, you know, was he a great player on the court? Yeah, was he a great leader off the court? cut no, he's not that real image that's being portrayed right now, he wasn't a good guy, I mean he was, he was that guy that was so motivated every day and everything we did, um, if you didn't come to work, you were going to have problems with Michael Jordan in a way that would let you know that he has a problem with you, whether he was going to attack you verbally or whether he was going to physically chase you on the court, there was no foreign competitor in between.

Michael was and they asked him if he was really that hard on the players and yes, he was because he wanted to win and he was putting pressure on us, but I don't think people who don't play sports don't understand that that's the way. In most locker rooms now Michael took it to a different level and brought it out, but the kid was saying and they were pushing

each

other and trying to make

each

other better and making fun of each other in every locker room. I've been going back to high school, but Michael took it to a different level because he wanted to win and he made us feel the pressure and practice so that in the games it was easy for us and we were ready to go out and he was also testing us to see if we were good enough to be there.

There were times when Mike would get mad at Luke and say, "Oh, Luke wasn't nice and Luke wasn't like that, so me." I could invest in I could have met him I pushed him, I challenged him in certain situations where I felt like look, you're just not, you're not doing what we expect you to do, it was a mentality that I felt Luke had to learn. and I think he learned and I'll say, well, you know Maya may not be

true

, you don't have to love a guy to be on his team, care about him to play basketball together.

I didn't love NJ, I thought, NJ. he was difficult and unnecessarily hard on his

teammates

and probably on himself and I think you know, I just didn't really enjoy being around him and that was great, which is great, MJ, it's okay with me, at the end of the day we found a way . respect each other on the court and coexist and that was great, you know, he wasn't the easiest teammate to play with, in fact, he's probably the toughest team guy I've ever played with, but it was really productive because he was able to raise the level of our competitiveness but also our confidence because every day of practice almost seemed harder than the games, you know, because you had to deal with it.

Michael was very dominant not only on the court but also in the locker room, you know, and everyone. I shoot more of a feeling that we're going to win because we have Michael, so there's a comfort level with his confidence and his dominance it's kind of a King of the Hill mentality, so you went into every game like, hey, he was you. . I know he's on our side, but you walked into every practice like I better not get on his bad side, you know? So it was an interesting combination. He raised the level of every practice so dramatically that everything mattered to him in every shooting drill.

He was very competitive and we used to practice a lot more back then than we do today. Most practice days we had practices at some point and those practices were battles and when I got to the Bulls that first day of practice, it was like what are they doing this? a lot of people say oh MJ, he's tough on his teammate, he's this guy. He never ever raised his voice at me, yeah, all he did was Randy, you're not doing your job today like I said. the kids saw what they saw on TNT, they didn't see the two hours that he put into practice, man, this guy practices, which was amazing to me, I don't care what it was, it can be zero zero to do just him just.

He was brought in by someone who averages 35 points a

season

, this guy, this guy, and a lot of kids, right? No, they just saw the finished product with

their

tongues hanging out, they never saw what this guy did. practice well, let's do a practice, anyone is great, live, he practiced and if you didn't practice, you will hear from him and I want you to tell me this story that you told me about Michael Jordan when you and Michael Jordan were nice. You came to know that there were small differences in your opinion of how the game was played when you played for Chicago with Michael Jordan, yes, the journalist called for confrontation.

The fear was alternating players, you know, 17 on the first team, first team on The second team and then I started, we were playing, we played like six games of uh, going to Five Points, so after the first two games, Phil He put me on the second unit, where I always played, you know, my boys, we proceeded to kick them. asses like four games in a row and Michael got offended by that so I asked him if he liked that beatdown we just got and he got offended because clearly no one ever takes on Neptune and I challenge him so he said it's I'm going to say yes I wasn't careful, he would kick my ass and I told him like he wasn't you.

I played with the bad guys who were walking to court, they know he's looking at me like he slapped his mother. I love that story, then you went even further and I think you talked about one of the rookies coming up to you and saying, man, I can't believe you talked to Michael like that and with all due respect, he walked in and then you're Rodney. You know, uh, you don't remember hanging on the Raptor, you guys left his name hanging on the Raptor, not to mention I played with some Hall of Famers after being all him.

I rented my case story because Michael was with me, he challenged. his

teammates

and as you know, Larry was our leader, but Larry led by example, Michael, they all left you in your face talking trash, you know, I could get a short ride back to you, what did you do when you wanted to get in the Michael's skin? Croatian because he didn't understand, oh, that was the only one, that was the only way, well, but we all understood that he is so competitive that he will bring anything and everything um and uh, I think we accept that, do you believe that?

Michael Jordan would be as successful without you, no, but I don't think I would be successful without him. I think we both compliment each other in a lot of different ways and compete and push each other to be great. Michael was the best. one-on-one player in the game and if he played in today's era where the game is more open, with more spaces, I mean, his numbers would skyrocket, you know, I mean, I played with the guy practically his entire career. he. so I know the guy comes into the game thinking about 50. He had a great score, but a lot of the things he did were based on him as an individual and I think basketball is a team game, he just had that mentality of just Mike going.

He was injured once, he never had to sit down, he never asked me anything, he just asked for respect and money if Michael played in this era. His average 50. We have his 50 points having 40 years playing in a row, he played 82 games, yes, 82. The crazy thing about this is that he would never be left out of practice Michael Jordan in 40 practice every day Doug Collins had to try throw it out the court that didn't come out like Doug Collins was like Mike, man, it's not like he wants to play in practice every day, he's 40 years old, like he still goes every day, the first one there is always called The Breakfast Club, always They pick him up, yeah, but like he won to practice every day and play 82 games at 40.

Like when we got to the league, it was a badge of honor to play 82 games, yeah, that's a badge of honor and let's do it at 40. 40 years with one leg. Come on man, count my dedication to the game like there's nothing better than that. Michael has never made me cry. Did he bother me a lot? Yeah, I mean, he's a competitor. That's what I think. There is so much to do. about nothing so many people want to make up stories about Michael Jordan that he could have been the best guy in the world to me they would still have made up something like seeing Michael Jordan someone we all idolize everyone I don't care what you say everyone idolizes Michael Jordan to me Michael Jordan was a killer it didn't matter he wanted to come in and kill you in my mind to the extent that a straight up killer mentality and killer is Michael Jordan.

I know the last shot Jordan had. In the playoffs, when he won the game and you guys lost to them in the finals, it was a little controversial, a lot of people thought he pushed you and now here you are, his teammate, trying to help him get one more. somewhat ironic title no, kind of, uh pretty good, you know why I have someone who worked harder against you, why not have you good, it was an integral part of bringing you to the Wizards, yes, yes, it was, it was his decision a little controversial. A lot of people thought you turned them down, you know it was a controversial decision from your perspective, but the referees made the right decision, so I mean it's good to have those guys, I guess I believe in

their

abilities, you know? and that's what I went for, I didn't go for the sentimental value, you know, of him, no, I went for the skills of him and, you know, that's how I saw it and let me know what you think about this video below in the comment. section What did you think about MJ and some of the comments his teammates had to make about him?
