His was an example of and obsessive meticulous perfectionist mindset.  He was never the biggest or fastest but just had true grit and skill honed over hours of repetitive practice and repetition.  IMO only.

never the fastest?Probably the quickest and fastest nba player ever at over 6'0, ran a 40 in 4.3 seconds.Add his height and handsize on top of that...plus his 46" vertical at his peak.

This.

His athleticism was WAY under rated.  He is remembered for his insane competitiveness and his cerebral approach to the game, in many cases people only remember his Bulls career after the baseball comeback, when his athleticism was not at its peak. But even then there were only a handful of guys who were better athletes.

Nope. Maybe if he meant he benched 205 twice.

But he would beat Jon Jones in DA CAGE.

No way, there's footage of him benching in his prime years on the last dance he's struggling with 200 for reps...

No way joe benched 400. I don’t know if he ran a 4.3 40 basketball didn’t have a combine then and even if it did a 40 isnt part of it,but he was quick as lighting and extremely explosive a I would think at least a 4.5 40 would be about right. Another thing that made his game great was his huge hands so big the wrinkles in his hands made the letter m I’m sure you can google that and find it. It allowed him to do a lot more with the ball like stick it in the defenders face like he did a lot never getting it swatted away which is amazing with in itself

"His freshman year, he was really athletic and fast. He was like a 4.5. I’ll never forget this, his sophomore year, he ran the 40-yard. Me and coach [Bill] Guthridge and our trainer Mark Karns. We all three had hand stopwatches. We’re not professional timers by any means, but he crossed the line, I looked and I said, ‘Wow. Coach Guthridge, what’d you get?’ He looked at me and Mark said, ‘I got 4.39.’ And coach Guthridge said, ‘I got 4.38.’ And I said, ‘I did too.’

“I said, ‘Michael, we missed your start, made a mistake. Come on, I need you to run it again.’ He said, ‘Too fast for you, huh?’ He goes back to the line, runs it again, and all of us got below 4.4. As a sophomore, he went from 6-foot-4 and a half to 6-foot-6 and got faster.”"

Meticulous? He smoked cigars on his way to games and ate massive steaks daily.  People don’t get they if he had access to drugs and training today he would have been even greater.

Moron^

Cigars are taste only... You don't inhale... So they have no real effect on performance.

And steaks? Is that a joke?

Lets not forget that baskeball is not a real sport.

As far as worldwide popularity, its even less popular than bodybuilding.

3rd most popular sport in the world, soccer being number 1, and cricket number 2.

Right, when you think of worldwide sports - think Cricket!

Where is ping pong on that list?

Cows control India.

So your cricket numbers are influenced by bovines.
