Doug Collins decided to move Jordan to the point guard spot against Seattle on March 11, 1989. He finished that game with 15 ists. Two days later, he had a game of 21/14/14 against the Pacers in just 30 minutes of playing time in a 32-point blowout win. He reached the triple double mark in just 21 minutes. Jordan continued to play at the PG spot until the end of the season. In these 24 games he averaged 29.3ppg, 8.9rpg, 10.6 apg, 2.4spg. Between March 24 and April 14, 1989, he recorded a triple double in ten of the eleven games, including seven consecutive ones. In the game he didn’t record a triple double, he finished with 40 points, 11 ists and 7 rebounds. The hands down greatest of all time, anyone disputing this is a misinformed individual.

people who think kobe is better than mj are teenagers who never saw jordan play, so they can be forgiven. people who think lebron is better lack basic logic and deduction skills.

I grew up watching MJ playing and was lucky to see him win all 6 NBA rings. I stopped watching NBA like I used to after MJ retired… it’s just not the same without MJ… until recently I started following NBA again because of LeBron James.

People dont realize …
People dont realize how smart of a basketball player Michael was and still is.Unless you’re a basketball fan that watches basketball now, then you can see the way that players play now and how Michael made the right decision (especially in the clutch). 26 times he missed the game winning shot out of how much more in how many seasons, playoff games, finals series?! Kobe has missed 3 game winning shots in a game multiple times (some that caught nothing but air). Talk about greatness, talk about MJ
