Pull up the real tape, let’s see. 1st Mike can’t go left then the tape shows otherwise so now he can’t dribble left, I call cap

You clearly didn’t watch Michael jordan play if you really think he couldn’t go left
Pull up all the tape you want
scoring with your left is way more impressive
Seriously... I've never heard somebody say Wille Mays would have problems with Greg Maddux. You get debates in boxing all the time. How would Floyd fare against the 4 Kings type shyt.
But you never hear a person absolutely shyt on an era like you hear in basketball.
How you gon' ask that cat to pull up the "real tape" when I just did earlier?
Out of the 36 points in Game 1 of the '91 Finals, he only uses his left hand to create ONE bucket, and the funny thing about that bucket is, he only uses 1 left-hand dribble on a post-up to do that. Even on his assists, they're all through using his right hand dribble to create. I even showed a clear example of him failing to use his left hand against a much weaker defender and dribbling himself into trouble.
Going left = dribbling left. How could you possibly get that miscontrued as anything else?

Did Gil win anything?
Those Honda Civics kept Jordan out of the Finals for the first 7 or 8 years of his career before he broke through.
In terms of athleticism, young MJ from 1984....if he was planted into today's game.....he'd be Top 1% in the league as an athlete. Seriously, name 10 brehs that are clearly better athletes than young MJ, playing in the league right now.
You could easily say that the league Gil played in was a bunch of And1 mixtape having scrubs that could dribble the leather off a ball but couldn't hit the broadside of a barn. Volume shooters.

So going left was going to help him score how many more points than the 36 that he put up in game 1?
Discussing anything MJ is easy to decipher cause we have the cheat sheet, we can go back and look at the objective results since his career is complete.
You are clearly engaging in an exercise in futility.

They not fans of basketball as a competitive sport, these dudes are brainwashed to thinking sports is judged like a beauty pageant
This is a strawman.
You asked to see the real tape of him not being competent going left and it was provided for you. A whole lot of stars back then weren't that good with their left hand.
Yes, and we can objectively see he rarely ever generated offense with his left hand dribble because he wasn't that good at it, particularly during the first half of his career.
I don't think think you know what this means, playa.
I swear you post the most nonsensical shyt. How many folks in here are even talking about Bron? MJ hasn't played for over 20 years, and y'all clowns are still finding new ways to force him into the conversation of today. You don't even post about anything else but MJ.
It's kind of hilarious how you'd even say this shyt in the first place since a lot of the critiques around Bron are that is game is ugly. And here you are talking about fans of his thinking hoops is a beauty pageant.
Go figure.
why make shyt up breh. especially when he got better at that later in his career. this is why NBA discussion isn't taken seriously.

You want to know why you argue like a bish would? You said MJ wasn’t good at going left in the 91 finals, and? MJ won the 1991 finals in 5 games and was FMVP.
You now say he wasn’t good at generating offense with his left earlier in his career, and? MJ led the NBA in scoring 10 times and has the highest ppg in the regular season and playoffs in NBA history.
Like I said, exercise in futility. Only bishes argue just to argue with emotions instead of logic.
