The guy has retired for 20 years and he is still mentioned daily at every occasion... Greatest ATHLETE who ever lived. Period.
Jordan saw in kobe what jordan brother saw in his little brother, No one is gonna let you win, you have to win, i can show you and teach you, but you have to want it. Its like players these days just care about getting paid.
I do not in any way believe that winning is everything, but i do believe in accomplishment. that can come in many forms, but Jordan was the goat. the only players greater than Jordan were the great duo of Magic and Bird - together. As far as individual talent Jordan absolutely dominated when he needed to - at both ends of the court - and even in the middle.@@Fabulos1
Yeaaaaah well spoken!!!!!
I believe MJ is the GOAT of basketball, but i wouldn't call him the greatest athlete that's a stretch bruh
greatest basketball player for sure. best athlete? You f.kidding me?
Anyone that thinks Lebron is remotely close to Jordan has something wrong w their brain
the problem with James is his grotesque hypocracy around race and actually promoting racism. period. as an individual he is so ugly i never ever watch him. honestly.
Please say that again! They didn’t hear you. 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Right! All LeBron has proven is that the medical field has improved by leaps and bounds. No puns intended.
LeBron has shown he can play for a long time and since is been around forever he happened to become points leader. Yay. That is so amazing I forgot to clap.
@@djherhjakHe also skipped college and has a 4 year head start over Kareem to accumulate NBA points. Kareem would have thousands more points if he did not spend a few years playing at UCLA.
@@p9r4ex8dyk Facts. Both Kareem and Jordan went to college before the NBA lifted that restriction. What people fail to realize is that it was darn near impossible to join the NBA straight out of high school at that time. High school basketball programs these days often are at a level colleges were at decades ago. I just don't see LeBron being able to be as productive in times past. Shaq would have ate him up.
Jason Kidd..... " I had a great night but we lost. It's all about winning." You don't hear that from the divas that play today.
LeClown have 40 k…..wow 🙄
Jokic always says that! He makes fun of obsession with stats, yet he's called Stat padder by expert Perkins
I don't know, man, there is no one comparable to him. I mean, there are 75 players in the HOF, but even they are in awe of him. It's crazy how much he has impacted and influenced a whole generation even to this day!
way more than 75
@@josephvernon21 75 😆
Maybe he means 75 hofers from that era? Which would make sense.
The true G.O.A.T. and it's not even close!!!
Nah wilt is the one and only goat best player on offense and defense that's what the goat is you can have Jordan and the rest of them just give me wilt
@@michaelhenderson2744MJ was a DPOY bruh
Frankly, it's insulting to MJ that people say LeBron is at his level, much less passed him. There is MJ, and then there is a fight for second place. Kobe is the nearest thing to MJ because he imitated his style of play. Fact is, LeBron doesn't have the skill set, the determination, the win at all costs and the never give up mentality that MJ possessed. The first time LeBron lost in the finals and the first time he quit on his team and walked out before the game was over, I knew that he would never be at MJ's level.
You say that but MJ gave up twice but Lebron has never given up.
@@kwesip6267 Really? You say that retiring after winning three titles in a row is "giving up"? You don't "give up" after you've won a championship, much less three. Your definition of "giving up" is so hypocritical when you consider that LeBron has walked out on games numerous times before they're finished. And how many times has LeBron "given up" on his teams? And, if I recall correctly, he did it each time after losing, and losing badly at that. Now, THAT's the true definition of giving up. What a joke!!
@@kwesip6267 sir with all the respect you deserve JORDAN never gave up on his team. When the mafia tells you to loose or your mother ,father, family etc……. Will pay the price of course your are a superstar and your era has begun. You would think it’s a bluff bird and magic new there was a new sheriff in town but of course there would be be haters gamblers and got hurt by loosing so obviously those cowards and haters had to take it on the person he loved. Making missed 2 years of mvps and championships to his perfect collection, which I know Mr, Buggs Bunny knows about it because he gave MJ he’s own private gym to show the world that MR MJ was coming back and winning another 3peat. And all you guys can say well mafia made him win another 3. When everyone in the world knew he was the new sheriff in town and taking over. Imagine how many more championships he would have by not taking his father’s life. Exactly that’s why in every single sport no matter what his name comes out the next MJ in any sport. I guess there should be a trophy called the MJ prestigious award.
Amen
I was lucky to watch MJ growing up. Basketball was different in those days. The game was so intense and every point was earned nothing was given. Best moments were in the finals where MJ truly shined.
Say it again
I fee lucky having grown up watching Michael. And there was nothing taken for granted.We knew we were watching the GOAT
True. We watched history in the making. Knew it was special. We were all Witnesses
EVERY game MJ played in I saw something I'd never seen any Basketball player ever do! Sadly, I've never seen anyone since MJ have that special ability!
Man, I balked at Kobe being the next MJ when he was coming up. I didn't hate on him but I was just like, "naw, nobody beats Jordan, don't play." Seeing the respect and camaraderie between those two, Kobe's similar dedication and love for the game, it's beautiful how that torch was passed. I actually get it in the feels listening to Kobe talk about it.
Great video as always, YG!
I get that. I think Lebron is a freak athlete and an amazing player. But he falls under the Wilt, Bill, Shaq world. It's not the same when you are as big as half the centers in the league. It's different when a guy that is average height for the NBA at 6'6". It's why if there was a conversation of the 2010-2020 goats its Steph Curry. It's different when you can inspire the average person compared to just being bigger than just about everyone else.
Kobe was different...i would say second to no one but Mike, but when you watch all those who spoke about MJ...they all seem sincere, not because they loved Mike, pretty sure most of them hated him to their guts, but because of love of the game and that no matter what they were big enough to admire the game and acknowledge one's greatness. And a couple of days ago i watched the first minutes of Lebron/Reddick show and i simply could not stand it - just called it a clown show as it was all scripted and a clown show as i saw a media pumped guy with a great losing record disrespect MJ's influence while wearing his number...that's pathetic and shows no knowledge of the game and its history no respect to the ones that paved your way to a billionaire status...
Michael Jordan The Goat 🐐
I was blessed to be from Chicago to see his whole career 😂😂😂 I can't put it into words honestly
Miss Kobe. As a true sports fan the world of sports just feels a less important without him here. 🙏
The best of the best saying these things about MJ and so many guys talking about him glowing, his aura…nobody in life has said anything close about the guy who crowned himself king and GOAT, you know, the so-called idiot chosen one. Yeah.
💡🔦🌟 🙏🏾
Walter Payton said “If you are good at something, you’ll tell everyone. When you’re great at something they’ll tell you.” Sums it up to me.
LeClown 🙄
@@your_royal_highness I have always said that to the LeBronda simps and they get very upset. I have seen players from the time of Jabbar all the way until now, I have studied the past greats as well. LBJ does not belong in the same category as Michael, Magic, or Bird, he is not in a class of his own either.
@@yankee_tangohis supporters will tell us "they didn't win titles with 3 different teams like their guy did."
Discussion has to be for second place, the distance between this alien and everybody else is just too big
Facts 👍
Michael Jordan is from another planet.
I remember MJ when he came back from playing baseball. I'm back
He has been great since playing at UNC.
Say it again larry. I go back now and watch more of his college games, I was a g-town fan since Ewing freshman yr, so I really didn’t watch a lot of Tar Heel games. Now I wish I would’ve watched more of his games.
@@hgm38 in the gym in Wilmington that's where it started
Don't remember the 1st game....I live in Chicago....I saw every game I could.....this man was phenomenal.....
1987 after Dr. J retired. I was 7. Being from south Philadelphia Doc was everything. But seeing him , i knew he was different
“He was really black… so he could outrun everyone”. Charles the legend.
My first time seeing MJ was in 83’ while I was at my first military base assignment (Holloman AFB, New Mexico). MJ was balling and on ESPN playing for North Carolina. After about 5 minutes my roommate and both dapped each other and said “#23 is The Next One!!!” OMG!!!
So many memories of Jordan and the bulls.. I only speak for myself, but Mike is the reason I got hooked on basketball. Yeah, we had a lot of good players before, during and after Mike's era, but I wanted to be like Mike, just like hundreds of thousands of others did! Thanks for the memories, MJ..
ultimate, extreme, all those words can describe MJ
The first MJ game I saw is when he beat my GT Hoyas for the NCAA Championship, I have been MJ number 1 fan for life .
AWESOME VIDEO man. I liked his duels with the HAWKS AND DOMINIC WILKINS.Those two took basketball to another level in those BULLS vs.HAWKS games.
This isn’t just about hoops it’s about life. Those who excel have something to teach us all 👍
Great video... To anyone who hasn't really seen that much footage of MJ... Please watch Michael Jordan Voyager, and MJ historic bulls mixtape.
Those two highlight reels will create no doubt in anyone's mind that Jordan has no equal. And it's not even close.
You just have to watch and be amazed!
great video
Tracey mgrady says " Michael had a glow. " Jordan had it all. one of the best things he had was being intelligent enuf to listen to professional advisors in his personal life and than make educated decisions about how to handle it in public. I have never followed Jordan, but i have seen both very intelligent but honest clips from a few interviews. I think there is tremendous pressure on these type of media people. Whatever skeletons are rattling around in his life, he has survived.
jason kidd is one of the great ones. definitely hall of fame when you add in his great morals and personal life.
These stories of Jordan never get old. How incredible it is to hear all of fames talk about how incredible he was. That’s when you know you are the goat!
Bron would’ve cried for a flagrant on that Shaq foul. MJ gets up shook that off 😤and went back to destroying them. His advice to Shaq came from a place of how he’d expect his teammate to handle that. No mercy. Killer instinct
I can only imagine playing against Jordan and what it must have felt like being a young player against him.
I attended the 2007 Iron Bowl (I’m a Bama fan) in Auburn and Bo Jackson was introduced to the crowd. I had flashbacks of being 9 years old in 1983 and watching the Iron Bowl on TV and Bo had 2 TD runs of over 70+ yards and over 250+ yards for the game. I was 33 years old [2007] and started crying like a baby as I was seeing in person the *Greatest Athlete that has ever walked on earth*
So playing against MJ had to be crazy.
I absolutely remember the first time I saw MJ play, I was in Germany and one of my new soldiers asked if I was going to watch the Bulls play. I was like hell no I’m not staying up until 2 in the morning to watch a boring basketball game. Well he convinced me to watch because I had never seen MJ play, needless to say he spent the whole game grinning and watching my reaction because I had never seen anything like that before. I couldn’t wait to get on the court just to try a fraction of the moves I witnessed.
I have never come close to idolizing celebrities etc. but when it comes to Mike, I never tire of hearing about his greatness.
Great players (like Bron) is respected and admired. GOAT is feared by opponents (and teammates!)
I was old enough to see it😮. And I love the game back then.
I grew up in the 90s my brother was a John Stockton fan. I watched jordan cook them so many times the i watched the infamous Russell buzzer beater live. He was unstoppable and dosent get enough credit for his defense and willingness to hustle.
Loved ALL of these interviews. I wish the Wizards had been as open to receiving what MJ had to teach them as their player/coach as Kobi was. They could have been the team to beat in the 2000's.
The greatest compliment Jordan ever received was from an NBA coach who said " If Jordan had never dunked the ball, he still would be the greatest player of all time. " ... wow.
The debate between Lebron and MJ was settled tonight once and for all for me, when I heard Stephen A Smith say... "When Lebron walked on the court, players respected him. But when MJ walked on the court, players were terrified of him." Never mind all the stats that MJ clearly dominates in with the time he spent, he literally terrified his opponents because of how great he was, and how bad he could make you look... Very few wanted a piece of him.
Mj was phenomenon. Everyone in the world knew who he was. But Lbj is just an athlete. Only basketball fans know who he is. That's the difference.
Very correct
The first time was his freshman year in North Carolina and they beat George Town and damn near everyone in my hometown was on the GT junk. Patrick Ewing was in his final year. I said then whatever team he goes to is going to be my team! And still is my team.
Whenever MJ and the bulls are playing, it's always a fun to watch because MJ gives his 100 percent, the GOAT
🐐
The FACT that you NEVER hear things like this said about Lefraud or any other player by their contemporaries speak louder than any lie Lefraud or the media can tell ! The mic has long since been dropped !
You must be talking about lebump right???? Cause MJ is the goat and next player to follow him and expand his greatness. But honestly I don’t think anybody expected JORDAN taking over the NBA the way he did and inspired the youth about playing basketball and that just didn’t happened in the USA it was around the world . I think anywhere in the world you say AIR JORDAN everyone knows who you talking about . He made the city he brought them together it’s called the Windy City.
wow, iverson almost made me cry.
Barkley: “Bobby Knight didn’t like me because he was a d--.” Lmao
Kobe and Jordan
Definitely kindred spirits
GOAT recognizes Game
Outstanding Video
It was an honor to watch all those guys play basketball.
Legend Allan you are bloody one of the best to bro
That's a cool vid, man. Really emotional stuff in there. I have been a Pistons fan as a child in the late 80s and 90s but MJ ever was like completely out of scale. He was unouchable in the greatest era the NBA has ever had. Great memories. Great memories.
I think the series when he went from like "the best ever" to literally "god" was the 91 finals. These Lakers still had it. But Michael simply dominated them. These games at the ol Inglewood Forum. Amazing. He followed that up with an epic run, for sure.
my very 1st time seeing him play was amazing it was like he was play highschoolers & i ask my uncle was he a real person my uncle laughed as hard as a person could laugh 😂
Great video I've seen him play up close and front at least 3 times and took pictures of him which I still own and have today. He was very amazing to see live up close and front.
I wish they had 4k TV back then
There nothing better than your peers talking about you in such a passionate way…The players of today don’t understand MJ elite basketball IQ and game preparation…Greatness
the funniest story, imo, is #2 Nash. Ha ha. I'd never heard that one before
I love these MJ (and Bird for that matter) vids. Jordan was in a different universe; SO much fun to watch. The only thing I don't like about these, is that pretty soon they're going to start posting vids about L James. Who is Not EVEN close to MJ. Jordan would have gone for 40 or 50 on James just to show him who was boss. Yes, LJ can play, he's very good. But people now just can't relate to how incredibly competitive Jordan was, no matter who he played, he would cut your heart out to win. James does NOT have that quality. MJ is the GOAT!
🔥🔥🔥MJ🐐💯🏆
Yes I do remember I was 11 years old in 1985 omg he was just amazing then i met him and shaq in 1992 shaq first game against the bulls myself and 20 aau basketball players
Just the fact that he was born and raised in NC, went to Carolina where my father graduated from and driving the same roads as he does or has are what I think about. Oh and that he was insane to watch.
"If those were my stats, that's great, but we lost, so..."
Exactly. Nobody cares about the stats if you don't get the W.
They, as in some of the great of the game, talk about him like he is mythical being. They dont talk about Lebron like that
No one ever said I want to be like LeBron
first time watching Jordan was the 1992. Olympics. My country played them twice, including the gold medal game. You guys couldn't believe the hype even for back then when TV and newspapers were the only media around really..
good job
I was the photographer in the Chapel Hill's Bureau of the News and Observer in Raleigh. While I remember he played exceptional, he was VERY black back in the black and white film days...
...just very hard to separate him from the crowd in photos. The had great court lighting, but mostly from above. rules were you had to kneel, so shooting up. just very difficult situation. I ended up much farther into the corner than normal.
McGrady thinks ' 97 Jordan was scary . What people are missing is he had been in the league 13 years ! Rookie Mike through first 6 or 7 seasons was absolutely terrifying !
1988 in the coliseum in seattle. first time i watched him.
MJ had that killa instinct at UNC. I lived in NC so I got to pretty much all of their games. I have to agree with Jerry West when he said the best move he ever seen MJ do was against the knicks on the base line when he started to go back out the post with the rock then spun on Ewing and dunked it.
You know you're the GOAT, when you have 10 Hall of Famers telling you their stories how terrified they were when they first played you on the basketball court.
🙏🏾
I am lucky enough to have been 7 when Jordan entered the league and 18 when he retired from the bulls.. and as a boy from Chicago who had seen many of the greats, jordan is easily the GOAT....
13:40 FLOATING
And the most amazing thing is, MJ sometimes didn't sleep, didn't eat he rather enjoyed spending time in casinos and still managed to become the best player in history.
come back to streaming bro bro we miss you 🙏🏼
Great content….
Kid didn`t want to upset him during dinner 🤣
Todas estas leyendas y más que faltaron , siéntense orgullosas ,ustedes fueron quien crearon a ese monstruo llamado Michael Jordan
Jordan vs Dominique when cable blew up, your greatness should be based on who you played against and Jordan ran the gauntlet for real 🇺🇲
High school for the first time I’ve ever seen Michael Jordan play
12:07 OMG Ros Gold Onwudae is da bomb 💣!!
Man I heard about MJ while he was in college we all new than it was on but never could get any tickets to see him in the NBA cause they were always sold out
One team 6 champion's and think if his dad had not died and he didn't try out baseball he probably would have won 2 more hands down the GOAT! Best all around player of all time shooter, dunker, defender just willed his way to win mentally,phisically just being better than EVERYONE!!!
17:10 Steve Nash asked Mike for his shoes.... STEVE NASH.
1st point, undeniable. 2nd point, ridiculous. As good as he was, there is no question whatsoever that Bo Jackson is the greatest athlete ever. And I'm a 49 year old, Southside, lifelong Bulls fan.
People forget that all of these players came hard after Jordan! They also wanted to see if he is all that hyped up , he showed them over and over yep I am
Memory: "How did he just FLY through the air like that? NO ONE has that kind of lateral movement!"
These many years later, I still can't believe that Kobe is gone..... Jordan was the man however!
All they got is, “he don’t have a left hand” which then got decimated in a day😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I grew up watching every Bulls game on WGN from i think 1988 somewhere around there. Yeah it was when they were trying to get past the Pistons. I fuckin HATED the Pistons. I miss the rivalries. There are no more in the NBA
RIP Kobe Bryant. Basketball Legend!
You ain’t hear bro ? We done with basketball
For me, there's only four people who were so amazing and sensational at what they did that they literally seemed magical. That's Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan, Michael Jackson, and Bruce Lee. Ali dominated in the ring, Jordan on the court, Jackson on the stage, and Bruce on the screen. I understand that Jackson was just a pop star, and Bruce was an actor, but they still had that X factor. All four were clearly lightyears ahead of their competition. They all moved so gracefully. They were hypnotizing, like they were designed to do what they did. Poetry in motion. All are worldwide phenomenons. You can go anywhere on this planet and find people who feel the same way about these four extremely gifted individuals. There's been nothing like them before or since. Uts the X facfor. It's hard to put a finger on it or even write it out, but all you have to do is watch.
I watched Jordan first comeback again Knicks, I came in a Knicks fan,left with finding a religion, Jordan was a God! I felt that only when I saw Messi destroy Real Madrid at 18 years of age! Ali,Jordan, Messi the Holly Trinity!
Interesting side note from that footage, the Suns had Kevin Johnson, Jason Kidd AND Steve Nash on the roster AT THE SAME TIME? Arguably the 3 best point guards in their franchise history all on the roster at the same time! ANy chance CP3 was in the crowed watching?
MJ is the only player in NBA history to have Other NBA players fanning out like they're FANS and not professional Hoopers😂😂😂
Is it the 👟 shoes MJ 🐐💍💍💍👑💍💍💍 Mr ...no game 7sss
"Star differs from star in glory" 1 Corinthians 15:41
And Jordan's first 3 NBA seasons were losing seasons. Can you imagine Magic, Bird, Kobe, Shaq, and especially Russel ever having a single losing season?
