It was nice, but still not the same. If you got the HONOR to watch Michael Jordan play basketball you would know that it's never been the same since he left. And this is coming from a HUGE nba fan to this day. I LOVE basketball, but watching Jordan play is an experience I've never gotten before or since in any sport. He was absolutely the greatest basketball player of all time and no one's been close yet
Upper right corner: PLAY Lower right corner: RUNNING TIME The old and faithful VHS that made our lives back in the 90s. Not only did I record my favorite Bulls games but also all the 9 seasons of Seinfeld. Dude, you DO deserve a "LIKE" and my utmost gratitude for an excellent vid about the GOAT.
The irony can't be missed in your showing a clip of Kobe being called Jones by accident right after you called Jones Johnson by accident, lol!!! Great video regardless!!
Everybody who talked about "the next Jordan" didn't really understand what made Jordan who he was. Jordan wasn't freakishly good from the word go, but his sociopathic drive to constantly improve different aspects of his game - turning weaknesses into strengths - throughout his entire career are what made him great. There's no way you could ever see that just from watching HS or college hightlights.
@@johncallender6365actually he did somethings better than Jordan. Kobe had better footwork,a better jumper, and he got hotter offensively. Kobe, was drafted at 17 years old and MJ wasn’t considered pro ready at 17. MJ went to college for 3 years. Just because you didn’t like Kobe doesn’t mean you can disrespect his complete game.
@Mike1122. I never said he wasn't good, he clearly was. He was not as good offensively or defensively, just look at percentages. Kobe took advantage of having good offensive rebounders in Shaq and gasol. It seems that ever since he tragically died, people act like he was way better than he actually was.
There will never be another MJ. As evident in today's NBA which is desperately trying to manufacture the next big thing and in Lebron's neverending quest to cram himself into the Goat convo before his star fades out. There simply will never be one. Jordan could be said to be an anomaly. The perfect combination of incredible fundamentals paired with unlimited flash, inhuman athleticism, more inhumanly big hands, high IQ and EQ, and the two most important ingredients people often overlook in what separates MJ from other NBA legends - artistry and a psychotic will to win. He was lightning in a bottle, and we were privileged to witness his career. To have this many elements combined into one person? It will never happen again.
Lenron has surpassed Jordan in the goat convo. He did everything Jordan did, but better. And he never needed to get carried to get his rings. Of he played in the 90's he wouldve dominated
Great video. I really love watching this because there is story after story of guys coming into the league, having a small amount of success against MJ, and against the advice of veteran players to “not poke the bear.” They would, MJ would teach, they would never again reach. MJ saw guy after guy do the same thing and ultimately slink back into their role as “LeBradford Smith” or whoever else haha. But then comes Kobe Bryant who poked. Took his lumps. Poked some more. Eventually earning MJ’s respect and mentorship and ultimately becoming one of MJ’s best friends. And of course, taking over MJ’s role as the bear not to poke.
Kobe hit 33 points,when MJ dropped 36 in Chicago game 1997 game showed progress.When MJ retired,final meeting in 2003 Kobe dropped 55 on Mike stated his reign is over in NBA.MJ accepted it,he was past his prime so all good
If you go watch the game where Kobe dropped 50, he did all that against stackhouse that you mentioned earlier. Jordan played small forward then and guarded Rick fox. IDK how this myth came about here on YT that Kobe dropped 50 on Jordan when they weren't even guarding each other.
They were in some parts of the game... AND people also forget to talk about the part that JORDAN start guarding him more times in the 2nd half and KOBE was 1/10 FG in the 2nd half... KOBE was 0/3 in the 4th quarter.
@@MackMainSupreme so what Shaq was hurt. Every single playoff series, someone on some team is hurt. It happens every year. But for some reason, it’s pointed out to downplay the success of Jordan and typically is heralded as a deciding disadvantaged in defense of lebrons loses. Why the hate? Why not enjoy both players. I do. I watched both play and enjoyed the hell outta both of their careers but this downplaying or diminishing of Jordan’s accomplishments just stems from typical, flat out hate, from those who think lebron is better. Of course I am just assuming you are that type of lebron fan. Am I right? Isn’t that why your making these comments? If not then why are you so picky and critical of Michael Jeffrey Jordan? Did he turn you down for an autograph? Or do you just typically hate as a personal trait?
Mike didn't care about the stats as much as people think he did!!! His first couple of years, as they were building their team, why not show the World you can carry your team to the Playoffs almost Single-Handedly!!! When they finally got their team together, he showed he was more of a Team Player, but was the clear Team Leader, pretty much in every aspect!!!
Kobe is the closest anyone got just about or maybe even on par during Jordans playing days with what Jordan was during his heyday and that's ok with me
bro bill russell is the only player with 11 rings you can't just discredit that. and it was shaq who 3 peated lmao. 3 consecutive finals mvps, phil jackson 3 peated 3 times in 12 years btw.@@kuzster9610
They’ve been comparing everyone to Jordan since Jordan became Jordan… I will say Kobe wasn’t Jordan… He was Kobe… and there will never be another Kobe…
Yeah I couldn’t stand Kobe during his career either. But he kinda grew on me later, partially because of the rest of the players in the NBA being such soft ass 304s.
10:40: Eddie Jackson...Eddie Jones...😗 Kobe backed up Eddie his first year but it was obvious that Kobe was next. Del Harris, for whatever reason, held him back. Assuming bc Kobe was a rookie and they were thinking championship with Shaq in his prime but they weren't ready. Should've played Kobe much more than they did.
LeFlop's lasting legacy will be making FLOPS into a technical foul... he will be forever known for flopping so hard, so many times, the league had to do something about it... shame...
you are mistaken. if kobe was the closest thing to mj everyone else is below kobe. lebron isnt the greatest basketball player but for sure is one of the greatest athletes of all time. lots of people say kobe was the closest anyone got to actually emulating mj. how can someone not as good as mj be better than kobe who literally matched every part of mjs game. the world needed kobe, the world doesnt need idiots like dillon brooks and ja moront. those people could have gotten into a wreck without anyone caring
Sadly it took Kobe's loss to get me back into sports. The modern NBA is complete garbage but boxing is pretty chill for the most part. Thanks, Mamba. RIP
That’s all folk no since Kobe can carry the league and I mean no one, NBA use to be no”1 now can’t even beat NHL in views that only in USA , miss Kobe and I wish MJ would come out off retirement with Charles Barkley right now and just play one season
I was still a kid when MJ retired, but thank God Kobe immediately showed up to take the torch.

Bro its been so long almost 4 years and i still tear up every time i think about kobe
sofT. Kobe wouldn’t appreciate that
@@ToxicBottledOstrichNostrils lol you got a point

Lol tear up for a r@pist
You had to make me cry at the last part of the video Huh?🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭 R.I.P Mamba

I see how U conveniently left out Penny Hardaway, he consistently gave Jordan and the Bulls the business. Jordan couldn't guard Penny either.
Jordans got a winning record on Penny
Swept him and had no trouble with him in the 96 playoffs.
@@ry_an. I'm talking head-2-head, look at what Penny averaged when Jordan defended him.
@@MJIZZEL he had trouble with him N '95 when they knocked the Bull outta the playoffs, and Shaq was hurt when they beat 'em.

Great Documentary. Only 1 correction. Kobe backed Eddie Jones!
If I was a player I’d be telling the media to keep MJs name out of their damn mouths!😂😂🤫
love this series 🔥
Harold Miner's main weakness: his name. How can there ever be a best player in the world, in any sport, named Harold?!
Yes Kobe truly was the next Michael Jordan. And now they are doing everything they can do erase him. Why is this happening?
They want to elevate LeBron James, whose game is dunks and layups.
Kobe was the only one in NBA history to 3peat like MJ did as well ❤❤❤
@@DeeRG Shaq did it with Kobe and Bill had little competition compared to the modern NBA with double the teams and many playoffs rounds
bro bill russell is the only player with 11 rings you can't just discredit that. and it was shaq who 3 peated lmao. 3 consecutive finals mvps, phil jackson 3 peated 3 times in 12 years btw.@@kuzster9610
3 championship mvps there is a difference not that hard to see
@@kuzster9610 so yeah lets just erase the record book from EVERYTHING PRIOR TO 2004 get the fack out of here with your bullshyte
This is flat-out wrong. You should feel bad about yourself.
I think it's important to have videos like this🤦🏿♀️
i love this series
There will never be another Jordan
GOATED AGAIN!❤
Young Kobe was something.
Nice video but you’re missing Andrew wiggins, and Anthony Edwards his biological son
“he’s as cursed as I am” - MJ when talking about Kobe’s competitiveness
Put some respect on Kobes name.
14:38 he thought he was slick putting MJ highlights from another game lmao
Lol nah those were game updates 😂 they didn’t have the bottom ticker back then
They’ve been comparing everyone to Jordan since Jordan became Jordan… I will say Kobe wasn’t Jordan… He was Kobe… and there will never be another Kobe…
Mannnn. Why the hell You put the scene from Space Jam to represent His baseball career!😂😂😂😂
I can’t stand Kobe. Always hated him. But he’s by far the closest thing to MJ. And far above LeBaby for best players ever.
Yeah I couldn’t stand Kobe during his career either. But he kinda grew on me later, partially because of the rest of the players in the NBA being such soft ass 304s.
You damn right
15:37 that spin move was insane
I thought Tracey got compared more to Pippen back in the day.
Great video
No more MJ 💯
You said the announcer got Kobe mixed up while you called Eddie Jones, Eddie Jackson. Lol!!
When jordan said "I'm Back!" it lit up the entire world. Now it would also be true if LBJ says "I'm gone".
10:36 Eddie Jones.
Great video mate.
RIP KOBE! I think Mike loved Kobe more than any of his teammates. Maybe bc he saw so much of himself in him
10:40: Eddie Jackson...Eddie Jones...😗 Kobe backed up Eddie his first year but it was obvious that Kobe was next. Del Harris, for whatever reason, held him back. Assuming bc Kobe was a rookie and they were thinking championship with Shaq in his prime but they weren't ready. Should've played Kobe much more than they did.
No fr serious question, did you paste Jimmy Butlers face on MJs body??
you mean when jordan won 3 in a row on penny's watch
Great vid!
Jordan clone, man that was COLD 🥶🤣🤣🤣.
4:47 Space Jam footage
@10:36 Eddie Jackson
Correction: Eddy Jones
Harold Miner was never named college player of the year. christian Laettner won those awards.
When LeBron is retired and gone from the game, people will still be saying "who's the next MJ."
LeFlop's lasting legacy will be making FLOPS into a technical foul... he will be forever known for flopping so hard, so many times, the league had to do something about it... shame...
@@MrSuckeragiso much hate on Lebron! Dude is a freak and has been great for 20 years
you are mistaken. if kobe was the closest thing to mj everyone else is below kobe. lebron isnt the greatest basketball player but for sure is one of the greatest athletes of all time. lots of people say kobe was the closest anyone got to actually emulating mj. how can someone not as good as mj be better than kobe who literally matched every part of mjs game. the world needed kobe, the world doesnt need idiots like dillon brooks and ja moront. those people could have gotten into a wreck without anyone caring
Michael Jordan thinks of Kobe as a little brother. But to us, Kobe's like his only begotten SON.
As an OG Heat fan I wondered if "baby Jordan" was gonna be listed lol
Harold was such a disappointment... wish him well.
Who's Eddie Jackson LMAOOO
When it comes to the debate about who is the G.O.A.T. People often talked about the new Jordan. Did they also talk about the new Lebron James?
Kobe is the closest we got to a MJ, rip Mamba.
😂 like you called Eddie Jones Eddie Jackson
Eddie Jackson.... come on man Eddie Jones
10:33 *Eddie Jones
Freaking Harold Minor mention in 2023 😂
@10:37 who IA eddie Jackson
Jordan is nuts
Kobe was backin up who? Eddie Jackson? Who the hell is Eddie Jackson? U mean Eddie Jones....😂😂
Of course Obama would be the one to give that Tom the Presidential Medal of Honor
Sadly it took Kobe's loss to get me back into sports. The modern NBA is complete garbage but boxing is pretty chill for the most part. Thanks, Mamba. RIP

14:20 Shaq was running the league, then not Kobe
Michael Jordan is the GOAT of goats.
