I've been watching the NBA for 50+ years and make no mistake, MJ was and is still the GOAT.
Fax 💯
The best there is, the best there was, the best there EVER will be
Same
@@marcodestefanis5976 Hard to ever imagine somebody playing the whole court the way MJ did. It would be cool to see somebody raise that idea, but you are correct.
But but lebronda James said he is the best?
It's the fact that he has the legacy, the titles, the accolades, the awards in offense, the awards in defense, had a storybook career and no one speaks disrespectfully about his game. It's the fact that all basketball players get compared to him, NOT anybody else. That's why he's the GOAT. Dude's career is a rabbit hole of basketball history.
There's only one Goat . Michael Air Jordan

2nd-5th you can debate 2nd-5th place but Jordan is so far ahead of everyone else…it’s not even close. Also the most amazing thing is that Jordan accomplished all this while playing in at least 5 years less than the other players
Let there be no mistake. MJ in his prime was unstoppable. I have never seen that killer instinct, combined with his skills. Defense, attack.... MJ was the complete package. The real deal. The impact he had on the NBA. MJ made the NBA popular across the entire planet. Even my grandmother, who knew nothing from basketball, knew MJ. That's why he's the GOAT. Did you know that fans of the opposite team came to see MJ play and even cheered for him? MJ is the GOAT, nicknamed Black Jesus, or we used to say, "There is God, and there is MJ." You should have seen him play in his prime. I just could not believe my eyes.
MJ is the real GOAT , even after 20 years , the film of his game will be watched and the Air Jordan will never be forgotten he is not a flopper....
No one comes closer. No one to compare with him. A super , one in a lifetime artist, an exceptional player.
Yes sir! Agreed more than agree, NO ONE COMES CLOSER! PERIOD! NOT EVEN COPYCATS!
MJ is humble and classy and the greatest athlete that ever lived. For real.!!!!!
Just don't meet him in person
I agree with you 💯 his tribute speech to kobe Bryant had me in tears, so heartfelt
People like to say Today the average athlete is more athletic then they used to be. Thing is MJ isn't average and He's still the most athletic of all time
If you tell MJ someone is better than he is, it's going to be a long night the next time they meet

Truthfully, I never paid attention to the NBA. But one day, I was watching tv and a commercial came on, and this guy jumped from the free throw line, sort of wiggled through the air, and dunked the ball. I asked my nephew who it was, and he said, "Thats MJ. Michael Jordan." From that day I was a Jordan fan. One of his best shots ever; never seems to make the high light reel. It was against Portland regular game. MJ received the inbound pass from Pippen and was bringing the ball down court, no one was near him. MJ tripped over his own feet, slid into the lane, threw up the ball and made the basket. My Mom said, "Did he just fall over his own feet, and still make the shot, while sitting on his ass?" I said, "Yes, Ma'am." And from that day we were both MJ Fans.

I had the pleasure of seeing jordan live at the old Chicago stadium and the united center. Games in the old Chicago Stadium were electric. Pre-retirement jordan was pure athleticism. If his shot wasn't falling, he'd drive to the basket and either make the shot or get fouled. Post baseball Jordan used his basketball IQ as well as his athleticism to pick teams apart. He wore 45 because his number had already been retired when he came back for the last 18 games of that season. My brother's mother in law would give us tickets during the last 3peat. Imagine watching jordan live courtside.... You should watch michael jordan voyager for more highlights or jordans best season 90-91 for more game sequences. The younger fans think we hate on Lebron. It's not hate we just got to see the most complete baskeball player. What other player won league mvp, allstar mvp, defensive player of the year, the scoring title with over 200 steals and 100 blocks in the same season.
As a fellow Chicagoan I can confirm this statement is 100% true!!!
All true, but you didn't mention how much MJ elevated other areas of his game once his athleticism had started to decline. That second 3-peat would have never happend if MJ hadn't become one the deadliest midrange shooters by relentlessly working on that part of his game during the offseason (and the regular season and play-offs, pretty much non-stop). He also added a really nice post-up and floater game to his reportoir - or rather, he always had those in his bag but went to them more in his later years, making him arguably even less defendable than before because of his crazy versatility.
I was there during his run in the championships. Like Barkley said “He Is Amazing!!! Everything you see now , he did then and blew everyone’s minds!
I watched him play a whole lot. I was a long-suffering Knicks fan. lol
Once he got that first Chip, he became so consistently deadly, man. It was unreal, honestly. No matter what had gone on before in the game you just knew that he would very likely win it in the last 5 minutes of the game.
He was the sheer definition of clutch. His ability to hit game winning shots was so crazy that you honestly stopped being surprised by it. It was like, you knew there was a 99% likelihood that he was gonna do whatever was needed get the W, ESPECIALLY in the playoffs!
He killed us Knick fans bro...Well MJ and Charles Smith not being able to make an easy put back.
@@Joepacalypse1107
Yeah, man. It was a tough time to be a Knicks fan. But really, when isn't it? lol
Arggghhh he beat down Magic and my Lakers .. I can't with Mike man.. He was to freaking good.. His greatness was tiring. Ppl today won't understand. Felt yo pain 😂
Oh man! I thought the Knicks had us in 93 going up 2 zip, that series was insane! MJ and the bulls prevented so many hall of famers from getting rings it's ridiculous!

We were truly blessed here in The Chi! I simply loved the way Kobe described MJ. He said "There are no wasted movements with MJ. He was precise and intentional about every move! Flawlass!"
Exactly!! And that is one of the main differences kobe had with him: kobe was taking the Most impossible shots.. No wonder his numbers shy away when u compare him with other greats. MJ had the elegance of a ballet dancer and the strategy of a chess grandmaster!! MJ is the goat man!! Kobe came close in my books, when it comes to pure skills!!
I got to watch his whole career. The man had NO weaknesses.
Simply put....He is the greatest of all time!!
What makes MJ so great are his actual skills. One particular skill that is very underrated is his movement without the ball. The way he uses screens, gives little fakes to lose his man, etc. In his last year with the Bulls, MJ averaged holding the ball for just 3 mins 45 seconds per game and still scored just under 30. So each quarter he held the ball for just a little over 56 seconds. Crazy stuff.
I love this comment so much. This is something I NEVER hear anyone talking about. It's the equivalent to giving the video editors, lighting guys and sound engineers due credit for a fantastic film, rather than the obvious and typical credit given to the onscreen actors and well known directors. Props to you 👏🏿
What an amazing stat. I didn't know that, ty.
As well, his movement with the ball in his hand was so well calculated. No wasted footwork or dribbles ever. Always precise and on the attack.
I mean that kind of makes sense since he was primarily a dunker so he only needed to touch the ball for like 3-5 seconds to do so.
@@masterreaper115 He wasn't primarily a dunker, that's a myth. He was a mix em up player from the start who dunked, laid the ball in, shot the midrange, posted up, shot the long ball, etc. Scored in a variety of ways.
Mj makes you love the sport. His competetiveness. The killer instinct.When he's on the court, it feels like you're with him. So proud to witness his greatness. The reason why the value of every jordan shoes are worthy of it.
One of the most impressive aspects of Jordan despite the most impressive of accolades was his willingness to play every game. The only games he sat out were games he was injured. No load management! MJ’s mentality was he wouldn’t deny a kid who’s parents brought them to a game the chance to watch him play. The unquestioned GOAT!
My favorite Jordan story: I believe they were playing the Utah Jazz and Jordan gets a dunk on the Jazz's point guard. Who was about half a foot shorter than Jordan. As Jordan is going back down the court to play defense, someone from the crowd (might've been the Jazz's owner or their coach) yells out "Hey, Jordan! Why don't you pick on someone your own size?!"
The very next time down the floor Jordan gets the ball and dunks on the Jazz's 7 or nearly 7-foot-tall center. Jordan looks over to person who yelled at him and asked, "Was he big enough?" No response from the guy.
Amazing fact, I remember it, too.
That must have been 6'9'' Antoine Carr. Also Scottie Pippen climbed over him dunking one time.
Dunked on Mel Turpin
That was Greg Ostertag, 7'2" center, i believe hes in this montage btw.
@@ZoldZsolt Huh? I thought it was a bit earlier than that, but it being Ostertag would make sense that I would remember that story. Ostertag was a Kansas Jayhawk from when Roy Williams was their head coach and I'm Jayhawk fan, so maybe I heard that story or read that story in an interview Greg did.
Michael was just perfection personified. Only Kobe came close to him in intensity, skill, and dedication to the game. RIP Kobe!
The creator of this video should get an Emmy. The production is EVERYTHING!! It is a thing of beauty! And the editing and music is bar none 😊😊😊😊
No One can touch MJ.
No one!

I think Jordan played all 82 games 9 times in 13 seasons.
he played less than 80 (during a full season) only twice....1993 because he had played 100 games in 1992 AND the olympics so really between 1991-92 and 1992-93 he played 220 games and missed like 5 total (playing 80 and then 78 games in the regular season those 2 years).
The other year he was 38 years old and had played all but two games to that point when he got a serious injury missed about 15 games and the wizards fell apart and out of the playoff race by the time he returned for the final 5 games. he then played all 82 the next year as a 40 year old.
he said it was an obligation to play because someone paid good money to see him play in person for the first time every game of the regular season and if he didn't, he'd disappoint them....now most athletes don't have that attitude and it's a shame.
Dude...MJ was super fun to watch in real time. It was unreal. The other guys that were awesome to watch were Iverson, Kobe and, of course, the great Vince Carter!!!!
The two people who did their job and looked smoother than everyone and made it look easy were MJ and Tony Hawk. Physical Art and Poetry. That’s GOAT status.
Your comment about putting a big guy on him was one idea, but he was up against Bird, Ewing, Mutombo, Shaq, and he dunked on them all. He had a recorded 48" vertical, some suspect 49" was more likely, but that wasn't measured. He's the undeniable G.O.A.T.. I highly suggest his Predator video. All defense.
Big guys were too slow footed and couldn't stay in front of him. The smaller guys did a better job of staying in front of him, but then he would just shoot over them.
And the "SICK Game," was unreal. No one else that sick would have played. But it was in 1997 Game 5 of the play off against the Jazz, MJ had the flu. But still he played the full game and scored 38 points, Scottie had to practically carried him off the court.
He played that game with a 103 temperature and literally was getting IV fluids at halftime and in between the quarters of the game. We all have seen LeBron get carried off the court for a cramp. This guy needed to get IV's during the freaking game and refused to let his team down to lose. Tells a huge story as to how much he was there for his team. He never demanded someone get traded away from the team never demanded the coach get fired never demanded certain players get signed. The only player that he ever was asked about if he could play with was Rodman and that was due to the teams history when Rodman was a Piston.
@@haroldbenton979 I know what you mean. They can argue about this goat crap all they need to. But only one guy that I know of left the game for 2yrs came back and led to a 3peat. 🤩🤩💯🔥
The “official” name of that game is “The flu game” 😊
He played in 6 NBA Finals, his team won all 6 finals, none of series made it to game 7 and Jordan was the MVP of the finals all 6 times.
I love how you recognized his foot work. 4:00 and 13:12 are two of my favorite highlights and examples of his superb footwork and fundamentals
Michael Jeffrey Jordan had every tool in his tool Box, And used it every game. Michael jordan was a government Experiment He basically was a video game character come to life. He would average 45 Points a game in today's era.🐐23🎯
6:57 That crazy layup MJ did against the Nets literally broke their entire bench.
That I considered the best layup ever! That was triple clutch or even quadruple
Watch it closely you'll see it was Tate George who jumped off his own nets bench....
Wow, one of the best reactions ever. You are definitely right.
Wow, thank you sm!!
OMG he is incredible and there will never be another Michael Jordan, plus he's a great and giving man!!!! ❤
When Jordan retired the first time the Bulls retired his number 23 jersey. So, when he came back to the Bulls, he initially wasn't allowed to wear number 23. He wore number 45 because that was his brother's number in high school. Michael had said that one time his brother was a much better basketball player than him.
He was actually fined by the NBA $25,000 when he changed his number back to 23 in the second game of a playoff series against the Magic and the Bulls had failed to tell the league he was going to change jersey numbers.
Where Lebron James bulls his way past the defender and no offensive foul is called, Michael Jordan floats in mid-air around people. He was truly the Greatest Player of All Time. Where Lebron James always surrounded himself with at least three other superstars, Michael Jordan’s teammates were great role players. The only other superstar on his Bulls teams was Scotty Pippen, and they won 6 championships.
Calling Pippen a superstar is not only unsubstantiated but also asinine. Where are his credentials? MJ is the blame for deluding the public and Pippen about his "greatness."
🗣️SCOTTIE PIPPEN WAS TO INCONSISTENT ESPECIALLY IN BIG GAMES AND SERIES. TO BE CONSIDERED A SUPERSTAR . SCOTTIE IS A STAR . MICHAEL JORDAN IS A SUPERSTAR .>🎤 🏀🗑️
Born and raised in Chicago, watching his greatness was always incredible. No player like him.
MJ is a unicorn in Sports history and the thing that sets him apart, in any era, is his mindset and will.
Both of them were second to none. Combined with, almost, super human athletic abilities and the rest is history.
We are not going to see anyone like MJ again not because none can be better than him, but because every human is unique and distinct from the others.
My sincere wish is to witness in my lifetime many more athletes, equal or even better than MJ
These highlights give me the goosebumps this man is the God of basketball bro no lie😮😮😮😊
And yet too many clowns think floppy is close. Jordan is heads and shoulders above any other player.
MJ🥰 MY GOAT FOREVER~ 💯💯⭐️⭐️ 無與倫比
Besides the highlights themselves, my favorite part is any time I hear Johnny 'Red' Kerr reacting. The voice of my childhood watching the Bulls. Love it.
I saw him play a lot in that era. Now, looking back over it, I don't know if GREAT truly describes his ability. You mentioned he had no weaknesses, well, that wasn't an accident anything he felt he didn't do well or they said he couldn't do, he worked harder at it. he wasn't a 3-point shooter of that era. He could shoot the 3, and would if it presented itself or was needed. That era was more of a 3-point specialist era. Everybody on the team didn't just come down launching 3's. Isaiah Thomas now tells the story different and said that Jordan went and cried to the league about how Detroit would foul. The truth is, MJ got in the gym and got stronger. If you go back and watch, when they started beating Detroit, they were still fouling him hard, his body was just stronger and able to absorb the punishment. All teams had defensive specialist. Jordan was the first player where teams went out strictly to find their "Jordan" stopper..lol...and named him that. He had no weaknesses, and his game kept evolving. When he started to perfect that post-turn-around shot/footwork...and some of the best defenders in the league said it was over. yes, his career was longer than just the 6 championships, but even then, he was still the best player in the game. To 3-peat, retire, comeback, and 3-peat again....I just don't think anything else can be said or should be said after that.
MJ played the ENTIRE game every game. he was a killer. Thats why they ALL are compered to MJ.
Ah the time when hard fouls were allowed, unlike today when if you breath heavy on someone, its a foul. Lot of rough games back then
If Lebron played in that time
they'd be calling him QUEEN James for crying all the time!!!!!!!!!!!
25 - 1.
From 1991 to 1998 The Bulls with MJ in uniform lost 1 {one} playoff series in 7 years.
From 1990 through 1998, the Bulls never lost 3 games in a row.
Never played a finals game 7, and only 3 total game 7's in playoff ball, going 2-1 in those games.
This level of domination has not been seen in any team sport. Even the Patriots, as dominant as they were never did this.
He even played 82 games (the only person on his team to do so) in his last season with the Wizards, and he was hurt. That is extraordinary...
he was also 40 years old.
I was in college and early 20’s during their run. So lucky to be in Chicago during his prime. A true God amongst mortals, and athletes like this come along but once in a lifetime. At one point it became such a sure thing in Chicago that they were going to win more titles, it wasn’t a question of if they were going to win, it was a question of where were you going to be when they did win. He was also the first Megastar, with Nike, Gatorade songs, and movie deals, he transcended the sport and became a cultural icon. The GOAT, greatest of all time, for all time!
I'm old enough and blessed enough to have witnessed most of mikes career and let me tell you what set him apart other then his mindset and competitiveness was how fundamentally sound he was! Thats was made him unstoppable he could get to what ever spot he wanted to no matter the defense because of his intellect! 😤😤straight savage!!🐐🐐
Quite possibly the best collection of MJ clips demonstrating his artistry. Thanks.
Such a pleasure to watch this legend. Especially in the eighties and nineties, he made it seem like the ball caught him in its grip and made him fly all the way to the hoop. Jordan is the untouchable GOAT of basketball for me.
Nothing compares to JORDAN MICHAEL in every game he made it exciting and acrobatic.. defense ,offense...shot clock beater.
Easily the goat no debate. I mean the only way anyone could slow him down was to physically attack him like the pistons did but eventually even that wasnt enough. Dude was a monster on both sides of the ball. Which is unheard of.
MJ’s ability to palm the ball the way he did is one of the most amazing part of his skill set to me.
The dunks, blocks, and passes are fun to watch, but the way he would make the other players look like he was playing against kids with his fake-outs is just impressive.
Wanted to add that you should check out his years at the Washington Wizards. He still put up some insane stats. You won’t be disappointed.
You hit the nail on the head about today's NBA (and MLB as well). It's why I only watch the playoffs.
Eventually, once modern players realize they have no chance to be immortalized in the record books forever, they will begin to pursue their maximum potential.
To be honest, i almost cry seeing MJ lances, he was incredible and definitely the GOAT!
I had the opportunity of watching the bulls, the MJ Playing...so so special and unforgetble time..😢
And yes, many others players um that time... many others!!
You got the point, man. We all know how difficult these moves he did are, but the problem is he makes them look so easy. For a moment, I almost thought I could do them as well.
The skills, desire and his will to be the best in the game. 6 rings with one team. Especially in that era!!!
Meet the G.O.A.T of all G.O.A.Ts, we call him Black Jesus, Air Jordan, His Airness, Flight 23 or simply the greatest basketball player in the history of the game.
Some of my fondest memories was watching mj and the bulls with my father as a kid I would do anything to have that chance again
Best that ever was and best that ever will be. PERIOD...
He brought air to basket ball..This was a different kind of basket ball..SC is the upgrade because suddenly 3 pointers are ones to watch👌☝️👍Playing MJ be prepared to bring you A game
He won 10 scoring titles, 9 first team all-defense and 6 finals MVP in 11 complete seasons with the Bulls and he led them to an incredible 623 games without losing 3 games in a row, and they won 25 out of 26 playoff series during that time. Nobody dominated the game like he did. Just listen to the announcers on some of these clips, there was no debate that he was the greatest ever at that time and people knew it before he even won his second ring, the rest was icing on the cake.
Jordan and the Bulls always reminded me of Dobermans running up and down the court. Just lean and long and gliding on offense... Swarming on defense..
They were really impressive to watch
funny enough Johnny Bach, the Bulls defensive coach for the first 3peat, called the time in the game when the Bulls ratcheted up their defense "Unleashing the Dobermans" so apt comparison.
What new fans don't understand is it was every...single...game. I had WGN in Chicago and got to see every game. Not a game went by when you didn't say "He's not human.".
Couldn't agree more. MJ was so intense from the 1st second to the last second of the game, and that every game and at playoffs, he would "simply" step it up. Scottie Pippen was considered the 2nd best in that era, and rightfully so. He was really great, but MJ was simply on a different level than any other great. I think that's Pippen biggest frustration. In that era, it was much more physical, and you were allowed to defend. Nowadays, it's totally different. If a player sneezes, he gets a fault. I prefer the Jordan era and you?
@@yvesgysel9834ippen was never considered the second best in any era. Just the all-time best second man, not the second best. And only because he has Batman as his man to him as a Robin.
If at all there was a player who could justify or even top the moniker 'His Airness', it is Michael Jordan. Jordan tops our list of players with the highest vertical leap of 48 inches. This to go along with a hangtime of 0.92 seconds
Jordan was a killer before he first retired. When he came back, he was a stone cold assassin. Speaking more toward his attitude and energy than any stats.
I love watching these reaction videos from people that didn't watch his greatness when it was live. As a person that grew up on Jordan, these videos don't even do it justice just how impactful and great he is/was.
At 12:28 is the most insane defensive play I ever seen. I’m surprised it’s not shown whenever any highlights are shown. It’s alien.
Specific to Jordan
- the statistics from the playoffs were much better than those from the regular season, although he is number 1 in both
- on many occasions, if he had extra motivation (in any case, he was always motivated), he managed to score consecutive points. seeming to be able to score at will. He managed this even at 38 years old, scoring 22+ points in the first quarter.
Always tell the same story…
Will always remember watching MJ with my 2 buddy’s in like ‘87 or ‘88 and I turned to them and said Stop, let’s take a moment to fully grasp, we’re watching Babe Ruth. We’re watching the best there could ever be.
I’m a diehard Knick fan and there was nothing like watching Jordan.
I don’t think I ever watched a Jordan game when he didn’t do something amazing.
"If this guy can shoot, there's no stopping him." Yeah, Jordan could shoot. Excellent shooter. Really nothing he wasn't elite at. Each skillset he possessed was at a Hall of Fame level. Then there was his competitiveness which was unmatched. I'm not sure if his equal has or does exist. It was his real super power. Putting all of that athleticism, instinct, and physical gifts with the mind of a super competitor was a recipe for creating the GOAT.
One of the best stories of MJ was by Kevin Garnett and JR Rider. Basically KG was talking Ish and woke the competition into MJ.
The RUclips video of their accounts of this game is great. Must watch!
Yeah.. I've not seen like this nowadays Like have trampoline in his foot he flew like a rocket man, this guy is gifted.
The athleticism, the moves, the scoring, the defence, the work ethic, the competitiveness, the stats, the personal accolades, the 'chips. All of these combined make MJ the GOAT.
(7:55) I remember watching that game... AMAZING AMAZING AND I COULDNT TALK FOR A FEW MIN AFTER THAT SHOT... I WAS STUNNED...
My kids asked me what it was like growing up in the 90's ..I showed them this man playing basketball and introduced them to Tool...There is another video floating around youtube with a lot of statistical stuff comparing MJ to LeBron ....Larry Bird gave MJ a lot of loses .Pretty sure Jordan said Bird was the best defender he's ever faced.
Joe Dumars.
I can guarantee you that Jordan never said that Bird was the best defender that he faced. Bird was never the best defender against any player. Bird was a great player, but he was an average defensive player at best.
Larry Bird was the biggest trash talker ever, but he would back it up. Great player. Rebounder, unbelievable clutch player and his shots, wow... Larry had also that killer instinct, but he was the 1st Great of that era to say, there was a new King in the house, named MJ...
Larry Bird - "That wasn't Michael Jordan out there. That was God disguised as Michael Jordan."
tapes like this do little to represent michaels greatness. YOU HAVE TO Watch the full games to realize he is also the best defensive player on the court and he plays the whole damn game at a level of intensity and physicality beyond todays game. And he does it 100 games a year over and over and over. And he never gets a night off because every game he plays, the other team knows it is playing against michael and they are giving 110%
8:48 Of all the incredible things done by MJ in this video, that play there astonishes me the most. Because it's not as if MJ comes running in on every free throw. Yet before the ball even hits the rim, Jordan somehow knew that the ball would not only not make it, but bounce off the rim in a way for him to get it and slam it in. I don't know if MJ is psychic or he was just that good that he could see the balls trajectory and knew how it would go off the rim. Or even crazier would be that it was planned and the guy at the free throw, purposely missed and was able to aim the ball so well he knew it would bounce off the rim in just the right way. Pick a scenario, it doesn't matter because they all reach the same conclusion. Incredible.
I seen it since 1989 Jordan is unreal
My mom is a basketball player. I on the other hand was not but when Michael Jordan and the bulls played I was always in front of the television😂 the jordan led bulls was just something else. They always put on aa show and what a show!
In 1984 a bunch of NBA players were scheduled to be the warm up games for the college players that made up the USA team in the Olympics that year. Prior to the Olympics, the team played eight games against NBA All-Star teams including Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Kevin McHale, Robert Parish, Isiah Thomas and Mark Aguirre and won all eight. Jordan led this team in scoring also. So the NBA players knew what was coming into the league.
Thank u loved watching. Jordan the best
(4:30) bro bro... whats up with that MAYONNAISE sittin behind u LMAO 🤣 STRAIGHT SAVAGE!!!
Also the best clutch shooter ever.
I was born in 85 the same year he began playing, so I missed MJ's first 4 seasons, but from 90'-98 I was fortunate enough to watch 100s of bulls games and it was unbelievable, the things that man did night in and night out on both ends of the court, and the chemistry he and Pippen had while on the court was off the charts, I will always love the game of basketball, but it was just different back then, truly a magical time to have been a fan. Hell even old man Jordan on the Wizards with a torn meniscus was fun to watch, not as exciting being he was on one leg, occasionally he'd still drop 40 or 50 points as a beat up old guy, the guy truly loved to play.
can you imagine if the "euro-step" existed in Jordan's Day..."Give Me Three Steps..."
MJ was an assassin. floppy is a security guard.
Poetry in motion. Makes it look so easy.
The 82 Games question actually piqued my interest, so I went back decade by decade on Bball Reference and this is what I got :
22/23 - 10 players (16 other players played at least 80 games)
12/13 - 28 players (36)
02/03 - 46 players (48)
92/93 - 43 players (34)
82/83 - 40 players (45)
72/73 - 23 players (29)
Very interesting indeed
Jordan could hit 3's all day long but he even said himself he would have been less effective just going for 3's all the time. People don't realize he was great at assisting, rebounding, defending. everything.
MJ is the GOAT!
Michael jordan, Michael jackson and Mike tyson are the goats of their craft
Check out Jordan's game when he had the flu, I think he scored 50 plus points by his self. Sick😲. That's when they called the bulls Jordan & company..😏😲. Best game ever for a man with the flu. In our opinion.
10:30. He hit 6 threes in the first half against Portland in the finals. I believe that’s still a finals record.
In the last 50 years, Résumé - Total Achievements: (Titles / MVPs / Finals MVPs / 1st All-NBA / 1st All-DEF / Scoring Titles/ All-Star MVPs)
1st: Jordan = 49
2nd: Kobe = 34
2nd: LeBron = 34
4th: Kareem = 31
5th: Duncan = 29
…
2nd-5th you can debate 2nd-5th place but Jordan is so far ahead of everyone else…it’s not even close. Also the most amazing thing is that Jordan accomplished all this while playing in at least 5 years less than the other players
When Michael Jordan was with the Washington wizards, when was 40 years old he played all 82 games
Michael Jordan is 1 I'm a lifetime gift from GOD. it's not about longevity or scoring most points , no. There's no adjectives to describe him.
What's crazy about MJ which you don't really see in this video is the beating he took almost every game in an era when the game was more physical in that more contact was allowed and uncalled. That physical play would make a lot of today's stars lose their minds. They complain about fouls on every play as it is. Imagine what they'd be like in that era.
Dudes used to brag that they got a slap on Jordan. They tried to foul hard on him and regretted it later. Because, MJ made them pay on the scoreboard.😍😍😍🤣
MJ is the 🐐
Great video
First time I've watched you I appreciate you not talking over the video. I'm now a new subscriber 🙂
MJ=GOAT
His tongue out. If you study body language you’ll learn that when people have their tongue out like that it means concentration. That was MJs key and focus. Concentration
Please, please, please do more Jordan reactions! Watch his trash talking stories, rare footage, and the times he took it personal.
MJ did not need much to take it personally 😂. Trust me. Most players of the opposite team were really scared of MJ. Bad idea to look him in the eyes or even smile at him. Some players trashtalked MJ. Result, those players would not make a single bucket anymore and would be dunked on. Completely destroyed.😂😂😂 Shaq was once asked if he was sometimes scared to play against MJ. His answer: "The entire game I was scared of MJ, especially that he would dunk on me". Shaq is +7 ft tall and a very strong Athlete.😂
