The Olympic team was led by college players Michael Jordan, Sam Perkins, Patrick Ewing, and Chris Mullin. Matched up with the All-Star starting backcourt of Magic Johnson and Isiah Thomas. Jordan displaying his extreme athletic ability scored 27 points to lead the US to an 84-72 upset victory.

He was already better than everyone in the NBA!
Because MICHAEL Jordan is the GOAT an your eyes will tell you the same thing JORDAN FOREVER
Much better.
@M you don't know Americans. American Football will always be bigger than anything.
@M Which won't mean a damn thing to anyone who can read this because they'll be too old or too dead to know it. Nice try though.
@M and what's with the A.D. stuff?
MJ killed those NBA legends. A total of 8 exibition games and NBA all star team was not even able to win one game. Greatness!!!!
There were 8 exhibition game
MJ's team swept the all-stars
8 games to ZERO = BODY BAG!
in todays social media they would shtdown the league and or reform it
Wow did not know that listen to the way they talked about him before he even played in an nba game it’s unreal..
Remember watching all of these games in real time. I was astonished at how good the USA team was. 8-0. This was probably the best coaching Knight ever did. MJ and Perkins just took it to the NBA players.
Jordan picked Thomas several times and dominated several games. Thomas tried, but couldn't guard Jordan. Pretty sure this is where the resentment started from Thomas towards Jordan. Remember Thomas had lead Indiana to the National title in 1981? Then Jordan hit the buzzer beater in 1982. Knight says Jordan's the best baller he's ever seen in 1984. Thomas leads the freeze out of Jordan in the 1985 All Star game. He leads the Jordan Rules in 89 and 90. Then walks off the court w/o shaking hands in 1991.
After failing miserably at every position he's held since retiring from basketball now Thomas speaks in glowing terms regarding MJ. It's all BS. Thomas knows what side his bread is buttered and wants to keep his TV gigs. While I have respect for IT's accomplishments I don't have any respect for him.
😮😮😮
Most players now jump off two feet to generate power, it is incredible to see Jordan jump so high off one foot.
MJ came into the NBA as the most skilled player in the game. You can see that all those NBA all-stars looked a little intimidated by MJ's talent. I noticed Magic especially didn't want to defend him. In MJ's 3rd game as a rookie he scored 37 points against Sidney Moncrief the back-to-back winner of the DPOY award. There has never been a player like MJ.
@Ulysses432 with all due respect, Jordan scored on Moncrief in his second NBA game only 21 points (although he delivered great show). And yes, in his third game he scored 37 points, on Moncrief partially (it was clear that Moncrief was tired from defending Jordan before 4th period of first game started) and delivered even greater show
Yeah that’s why he did not win a skill competition
@@aleemali33Hey, young fella. They didn't have skills competition when Jordan played.
Wilt Chamberlain
3:00 damn he knows this player is extraordinary..
3:00 Incredible how the commentator says at that time that Jordan will be one of the greater NBA player of All Times.
Hubie Brown was spot on!
@@henrydorval7487 Billy Packer - not Hubie Brown
Before even playing an NBA game lol.
Hubie brown- ex Coafch and great ball mind
everything that MICHAEL did in his nba career... the moves... the dunks... the mannerisms... the style...he already did it before he even played one game in the nba. that's GREATNESS...
true
I have to tell you, I grew up in chicago and watched basically Michael`s whole career from his rookie season on and it was a true blessing not just to watch his moves but to watch him compete! He never took a night off and that is what I`ll remember most about Mike!!
he was this person and player probably by 16 years old
LOL. Was he trash talking the pros too?
What I love about the video is that you kept the original commentary. There are a lot of good videos out there but sometimes they put music over it removing the true impact of the game.
Damn Hubie knew talent when he saw it.
What separates Michael from anyone else is at age 20 he was a man among boys who were Allstar veterans at that point
Jordan-Ewing-Mullin a pretty dangerous trio.
Bobby knight said jordan was the best basketball player he had ever seen .that's why the pros at that time hated on jordan so much because they knew it to be the truth as well they just didn't want to accept the fact .
I bet those NBA pros were hoping Jordan would stay in college for another 6 years or so. LOL
3:00 is so right on. He's psychic!!
That's Billy Packer.
fascinating to see mj s evolution of his jumpshot, how his stance became wider, how his elbow and release became straighter and with a higher release as a pro and more centred. goes to shoe how hard he worked on his god given talents to become the greatest ever. such an awesome video.
"I mentioned I think he can be one of the greatest players in the game...." - Hubie Brown, using common sense as most commentators don't today.
Agreed. Love Hubie Brown and the late Dr. Jack Ramsey....2 of the most astute basketball minds you'll ever find.
he saw MJ's raw talent and new he was going to become unstoppable. MJ wasnt quite there yet in college he was getting better and better every year. As the 80's went on he became the MJ we know and basketball changed forever.
Its Billy Packer I think.
The commentary was from Billy Packer, who made the remark about Jordan. Play by play was Dick Stockton.
I Thought he needed Pippen, to win
No one player can win all by himself. It takes a team to win championships. Besides, Jordan and Pippen complimented each other so well that they needed each other. Pippen wasn't no all-star when he joined the Bulls. It took time for him to come into his own and Phil wasn't no championship winning coach when he took over as HC as haters like to argue why Jordan was able to win championships.
This is when the real beef with Isiah Thomas started .. Jordan embarrassed the League before even being in the League .. this should have been included in The Last Dance
That's why i love Hubie Brown,he keeps it 100
Billy Packer.
Billy Packer know even then Jordan was a man among boys including the NBA players
He was actually small compared to most great players in the Nba at that time. So many great centers and power forwards.
Bobby Knight as Coach, Michael Jordan, Sam Perkins, and Patrick Ewing on your front line. That's one hell of a team.
Add Chris Mullin and Alvin Robertson and that's a great five.
@@mikepetitti Vern Fleming started over Chris Mullin. Bobby Night loves defense, and the 84 Olympic team had plenty of offense without Mullin.
@@brettldouglas Yep - I was simply making the point that Mullin (a futuer HoFer) and Robertson (multi-all-star) were almost an after thought on a loaded roster.
DID SOMEONE MENTIONED THAT THIS MICHAEL JORDAN LED COLLEGE TEAM SWEPT THIS NBA ALL STARS? 8 GAMES IN A ROW, IMAGINE THAT AGAINST BIRD, MAGIC, THOMAS, WALTON, PARISH etc.
@z3n034 I FOUND IT, CAN'T YOU SEE? MAYBE YOU NEED TO HAVE YOU EYES OR MIND CHECKED, FOOL.
Goat 🐐
Talk about a commentator predicting the future
He wasn't lying
I reeeeeeally dont understand these bron fans!!!! Mike was head of his time and that time hasn't even came yet!!!!
ESPN is a propaganda farm that always stirs up the next jordan garbage. They're not reporting they're creating narratives that stupid ppl believe. It's not even close, Jordan is the best ever and probably at any sport. Cousey says it, west says it, magic says it, bird basically says it. Those guys r not jordan worshipers and if anything would be biased for themselves or players like Russell Chamberlain jabbar that they played w or managed. Its espn made up crap to fill tv time sport talk shows.
Michael Jordan was probably 21 years old in that game. When LeBron was 21 years old, he led the Cleveland Cavaliers to the NBA finals pretty much by himself, and scored 31.4 ppg that season.
@@brettldouglas yea in a very much watered down league!!! If you look the east records back then, you had teams under .500 making the playoffs.
@@dremckinney7877 jordan literally made the playoffs with 30 wins, the bottom of the east was bad in Jordan's era too
Magic Jabbar Isaiah all said Lebron is the best nba player ever kid
True. I watched a number of his college games and the commentators would always say that he was a terrific shooter. That midrange shot was his primary weapon.
This why mj is the goat .
On the 2:07 dunk play. Jesus mother of Christ. Where the f**k did he take off from!?!?
at 8:00 - Hubie pretty much explained MJ's total package perfectly as he hinted on a lot of areas quickly (the complete offensive/defensive repertoire)...the only thing is he became a great shooter especially from mid-range.
Billy Packer - not Hubie Brown
@@mikepetitti You're right...not sure why I put Hubie as I know his distinct voice.
@@jtremaine23 Both great commentators regardless, though I prefer Hubie in his day.
@@mikepetitti Agree 100%
3:00 Called it!
GREATEST
@7:12-7:17 Jordan danced with the guard and banked the shot. Fred Astaire would be impressed!
3:01 Correction. He became the greatest player in NBA history.
Lebron son
I stopped watching basketball after Michael retired.
Pep and Lemonade cause you’re racist and Lebron is way better
Pep and Lemonade true lol
Pep and Lemonade didn’t you see michael Jordan jr ?
'you are not alone...
Good because Lebron is way better
With college kids like that... Who the hell needed NBA players in the Olympics??
There was never a draft like the 84-85 draft ...
umm the 1988 team haha
The problem is today the best college kids go pro after 1 year. If 1984 was like 2020, Jordan, Perkins, and Ewing would have already been in the NBA.
6:50 never saw this dunk before!
@popeyeisgood and it's all bretty ballsy for the guy to call it.. saying MJ would be an all time great.. considering he had never played a single game in the NBA!
LOL it took a year for the ACC refs to get used to Jordan's first step.
Team USA (college kids) had Mullin, Jordan, Ewing (HOF's), plus Alvin robertson, Sam Perkins, Steve alford & Wayman Tisdale. That was an awesome team of future stars.
Stockton & Barkley were cut from the team. Isn't that nuts?
Let'sAllLove Lain Barkley said he just wanted to show how good he was and improve his draft status. He was dominant but would mouth off to Bobby Knight.
Knight would come in and Barkley would make fun of his clothes, and the players would laugh and Knight got all pissed 😂
@@lainiwakura4678 Stockton should've been on there in retrospect but Knight wanted at least 1 of his players on the Olympic team to prepare for future college seasons & Alford was the guy.
That was some ALL TIME GREAT predicton by Hubie Brown
Billy Packer was the commentator for this game. Dick Stockton was the play-by-play.
Isiah’s hatred for Jordan begins
especially once his college coach Bobby Knight called MJ the greatest player he's ever seen during these games. Had to hurt him pretty bad.
Isaiah own mike got 2 rings before mike even got one dummy
Isaiah could care less about racists bob knight or bootlicking mike that’s why when he did an interview he was asked who was his heroes first his Mom then Muhammad Ali hands down the real G.O.A.T.
@@aleemali33 Salty😂😂😂
Perkins and Ewing at the lowblock, Mullin DEADSHOT perimeter .
7:58 that, my friends, is a visionary
I didn't know that exist this game, it's like USA vs USA U23.
For me, the best basketball is the 80's basketball.
Indeed an M.J. never won a ring in the 80’s
NBA team gets swept 2 times over by college micheal Jordan? Seems legit
2:59 Word. Life.
Ngayon lng napanood ito 2020 lupet pla tlga ni MJ
again at 8:05, the guy said he got the inside and outside games already developed. never understood why people would think jordan never had the mid range game in his early years. people, especially sport media, are extremely forgetful.
That's why he is the G.O.A.T everyone who challenged. Him he destroyed 6 and 0 in the finals 6 MVPS
If Jordan was already this good how was he not the #1 pick
Because getting a center was the cornerstone for a franchise back then
Do you know how to use Google
The NBA was a big mans game, nonody believed that a sg could lead a team to a champion. Hakeem and Sam Bowie were the premier big men at the time.
Damn, that was scary how he predicted M.J.'s career.
Love this content
The way this announcer describes a guy that hasn’t played 1 NBA game yet is kinda amazing considering everything how much he did after this game
@triklops Thanks Triklops. They couldn't say enough about Jordan this game. Loved Him
This is to cool. I remember going to a game with the 84 team versus another NBA All Star Team. It was played at the Metrodome in Mpls. Considering we didn't have pro basketball at the time, one of the most enjoyable sporting events I got to go to at the time.
p.s. Considering we have the T-Wolves, I guess we still don't have a pro team. :(
what a great post man. thanks
lol good call by that commentator
If Michael didn't play.. they would have lost all the exhibition NBA all star games by 20.
I better not hear anyone tell me that KOBE is in this class
@baldheadkid I remember when Jordan was playing college ball and you can see that he was going to be great but nobody could have predicted he would become the GOAT. I will say this though, Len Bias coming out of college at that time was going to be great. He was a beast both inside and out, it's just too bad that he made a bad decision that cost him his life.
Billy Packer was on point about Michael Jordan's NBA career
Wasn’t packer. Hubie.
he got drafted the summer 1984.. he signed with bulls and got a pro contract, anyway he didn't play any pro game before the season 84-84 nba
Joe Kleine was on that 84 Olympic Team and won the Gold with Jordan and he would go on to win an NBA Championship with Jordan and the Bulls in 98
Bulls are lucky this wasn't before the draft
In a way, yes, but MJ's college career was enough of a sample. But, once he played on the olympic team, his game went next level. And then when he played in the NBA, another level.
3:00 One of the more accurate opinions!
2:05.. look how he floats in the air, amazing :-)
Packer really knows his basketball
Billy Packer said theJordan was a HOFer comparable to West and Robertson before he ever scored an NBA point. Pretty impressive prediction. Jordan and Lebron are the two best. Let the debate begin.
NO DEBATE KID>>> MJ is 10x better than lebron will ever be.
Right, his color commentary starting around 3:12 was spot on.
That's Hubie Brown talking, not Billy Packer.
Maurice Coleman No it's not. That is Billy Packer talking.
Lebron wouldn’t have dominated Kareem. Unfortunately Kareem wasn’t playing here. Maybe injured ? Jordan didn’t dominate the combo/double teaming of Magic Johnson and Kareem in his first year or 2.But 1on 1 he may have.
I don’t see Lebron doing this!!! Taking a college team to beat a nba team!!! Jordan was already the goat here!!
draftee Jordan giving it to NBA allstars and hall of famers.
Goat Lebron settled for bronze, twice. While this man never settle for anything less...
3:00 so prophetic
Knight was the college version of Pat Riley in terms of dress. He had great choice in clothes and a slim/trim physique and his polyester plaid pants always had no creases and his see-thru short-sleeved shirts displayed his undershirt and armpit stains just as you want them to if you're a fashion-forward person. Bobby had the look and in the 80s, that was important. Ironically, he was strutting the same sidelines that Riles did during the NBA season. Riles was almost as good a dresser as Bobby, but he insisted on that cheap Italian silk and poor designers like Versace and Armani. His pants always had sharp creases and he never wore short sleeve polyester. Bobby could've taught him a trick or two.
What the fuck are you talking about 😂
It took the ACC officials a year to get used to Jordan's quick first step...
Isiah Thomas was quite envious of the GOAT... starting with the '84 Olympics games. Thomas' own coaches , Bobby Knight & Chuck Daly showered MJ with praises & designated him the GOAT. And that set off Thomas to dislike MJ even more
at one video i saw isiah jokingly wanted to slam jordan... hahaha
That’s why he said Lebron is the best nba player ever and he also said Muhammad Ali is the G.O.A.T
He won p.o.t.y. as a Jr. When only Sr. Won it 99% of the time
Bobby knight that summer, "Michael jordan is the greatest athlete I've ever seen, he's the best scorer I've ever seen, he's the most skilled I've ever seen, frankly he's the best basketball player I've ever seen" ahhhhh ya.
Similar thing happened in 88’ when the Olympic team beat the NBA all stars in scrimmages. An example of how much it matters when teams have time to learn how to play together.
Bobby Knight actually thought Jordan was overrated at first. He told Billy Packer that he was concerned because he said Jordan couldn’t shoot. A couple months later he told Packer “Jordan is going to be the greatest player ever”
Supposedly he also told Jordan his reputation didn't mean a thing to him and he'd have to prove he(Jordan) belonged on the team. I don't think that bothered Jordan at allsince he was so darn competitive I'm sure he relished the thought to prove he belonged
Still can't believe MJ wasn't selected 1st in NBA draft..my God
2:18 cool replay and angle of MJ hanging in the air.
3:00 And now look what happened lmao
Nice audio editing !! A lot of guys simply focus on the video highlights but forget how interesting the commentary is sometimes !!!
love how packer says MJ has a chance to be one of the best NBAers.
TBH. The young USA team here is like an NBA all star team. Ewing, Perkins, Jordan,
listen to what the commentator said starting at 3:08. he sums it up pretty well for how complete jordan was entering professional basketball. handling and shooting, and moving without the ball, something that took kobe 10 years to learn and he still hasnt got it right.
Jordan was just so much stronger than kobe. Mj probably the best athlete in league history, perfect combo of size strength quickness etc. If u put mj and kobe in prison, mj is probably alright and kobe is tossing salad.
Sam Bowie ain't even in the 84 Olympic team
Bowie elected to skip the trials and focus on the draft. In his day and before injuries, Bowie was a great athlete with a good touch. Maybe he makes the team if he goes to the trials. Who knows.
On 13 August 1984, the 3-to-make-2 shots on fouled in act of shooting was changed to two free throws unless it was a three-point shot, when three free throws will be taken.
Billy Packer just KNEW
does anyone know where i can find a box score to this game or at least the full roster for the NBPA team ? I have looked every where.
That perkins put back dunk with the ehhh was sinister.
Key to Jordan's success in this game = Joe Kleine as a teammate.
Amen to that! LOL
Bobby Knight's pants also hypnotized the opposing players.
Good God at 1:47. Magic seriously had eyes in the back of his head. That is a ridonkulous pass.
for a finished product, he sure got better
@3:00, Hubie Brown spoke the truth about Michael Jordan's potential. He was absolutely correct and spot on😳
I always wanted those Converse mid-cut shoes he wore then..i couldn't believe at the time that they wasnt selling those style shoes..its another reason Converse went under
@ around the 3:00 mark listen what Billy Packer said about MJ……
2:05 awesome takeoff over Magic Johnson. Even Magic learned from that day I'm sure.
Imagine that Olympic team with Barkley and Stockton!WOW!
it doesnt matter, MJ is going to win anyway...
also said "his jumpshot is a little suspect but he has great form."
Hubie Brown called it!
Bobby Knights paints are making my eyes bleed.
