The odds of one making it to the NBA are minute. The odds of one leading his team to an NBA championship are even lesser. But Michael Jordan leads his team to multiple three-peats. He etched his name in the NBA Hall of Fame and won several accolades throughout the course of his career. MJ was a force to be reckoned with during his prime. He put several defenses on fire daily in his prime. There was no answer to his offense.
In a clip that has resurfaced, a teenager gave some rather intriguing advice on how to put a halt on MJ.
Michael Jordan won ten scoring titles throughout the course of his career. He also won a whopping five MVP accolades. He has the highest PPG statistic in NBA history. It’s only fair that people recognize him as the greatest scorer of all time.

Teenager tells how to stop MJ
In a clip that has resurfaced a 14 year boy Aaron Watkins was convinced that he knows how to stop Michael Jordan from causing Havoc in the league. If only the two generations of defenders would have taken his advice, probably Jordan would have won lesser titles.
Aaron Watkins said, “Michael’s weakness is his shot. You just keep around the perimeter and when he does this move right here upon the ball brings it around, just don’t fall for that. Wait for him to shoot. Run up there. Get the rebound, throw some kind of lucky shot, and win”.
This was a rather interesting theory by Aaron, who thinks he has what it takes to stop MJ in his tracks. The hundreds of players who have tried to fight against Jordan might disagree with Watkins, as things might not be as simple as they look.
Michael Jordan is one of the few who’s literally changed the game of basketball. He’s gonna be remembered till the rest of eternity.

Maybe I led you to believe that basketball was a god given gift and not something I work for every single day of my life. Maybe I destroyed the game, or maybe you are just making excuses“.
