Michael Jordan is considered one of the greatest basketball players of all time. He was a two-way shooting guard who could score as well as defend at a great level. He also had a never say never attitude and hated losing. MJ never lost an NBA Finals and went 6-0. He had a different way of motivating himself and this recent video just shows us that.

In a recent video, we can see how Jordan got offended when he was compared to Clyde Drexler going into the 1991-92 NBA Finals. Even though Jordan won the NBA league MVP, he still played like he had a chip on his shoulder.

With Drexler averaging more assists and rebounds for the season even though MJ led in scoring, people were starting to compare the two guards. In the docu-series ‘The Last Dance,’ MJ admitted that “Clyde was a threat.. you know I’m not saying he wasn’t a threat … but me being compared to him, I took offense to that.” 

Jordan would eventually emerge victoriously. He outplayed Clyde over the six-game series, especially in Game 1. Jordan would go on to score 35 points in a half, still an NBA record. But the game is famous because of the Jordan shrug that followed after the game.

Michael Jordan – The ultimate competitor

The Chicago Bulls selected Michael as the third overall pick in the legendary 1984 NBA Draft. He immediately became the focal point of the team and the leader. He would also go on to win the Rookie of the Year award. Even though he collected individual awards, team and playoff success didn’t immediately arrive for him.
