Yeah, imagine watching this unfold in 1985. There was nothing to compare it to. I used to say that Doctor J would give you three unreal plays a month and MJ would give you three unreal plays by halftime.
I have to tell my story...I was around when Mike first came into the NBA...I was a Lakers fan, my old man was Chicago. We were about to watch them play... I turned away and turned back and Mike went into the air...all I could say was " He FLYING "! My old man just laughed and said "sweep that sh*t off the floor "😂 They beat the Lakers. The man was just incredible! Great memories watching him today ❤
best comment on jordan ever. that perfectly describes MJ. his whole career was a highlight reel. every single night he did things that nobody else on the planet could duplicate.
Best genuine reaction I've seen to this video, and I've seen many. *This* is why Jordan fans get pissed when the media says other guys are better than him.
This is why I don’t buy the longevity thing. Mike played 82 games every year like his life depended on it. On both ends. Bron hasn’t played d in years.
Bruh... you could expect this level of intensity and creativity from MJ every game he played. It didn't matter if he was playing against the best or the worst in the league. The man gave 100% on offensive and defense each and every night he was on the court. That is what sets him apart from all others. He never cheated the game and he wanted all smoke too.
Jordan played hard at BOTH ends of the court. He gave maximum effort on offense and defense. He also played 82 games in a season 9 times....including his last season at the age of 40. And he did this playing in a much more physical era of basketball than what you see today. Also, there was no "load management". If he could play, he would play.
The craziest thing is that it's not just highlights, Jordan did this literally EVERY GAME throughout each game! So often that many of us Gen X people who grew up watching him took it for granted, we were too spoiled.
i think we took it less for granted once he returned from his 1st retirement. other things we took for granted: defense and rivalries. those are long gone and it sucks.
Not every game, literally, at least not after his first retirement. He turned into a jump shooter/post scorer at that point in time because he is getting old. He still got to the rim with crazy acrobats but occasionally. Even his jumpshot mechanics changed over time. It became better and conserves more energy.
It's beautiful to see all the young kids react to MJ when the Kobe's and LeBron's have arrived. We are watching highlight videos, but you have to believe me when I say that he played like this EVERY game. Full throttle. Maximum effort. Wanted to destroy the opponent, but did it in the smoothest, most skilled way possible.
Hey great reaction 👊 . LeBron is a fantastic player but I feel like a lot of energy behind LeBron is solely based on stats and although it’s phenomenal to be playing as long as he has you still have to consider the fact that MIKE has done significantly more in less time which is actually way more impressive.
My guy, you're just watching highlights of decades ago, but imagine you watching this every night as a kid growing up smh, it was nothing like it bro, and nothing has come close since, and that's saying a lot considering the many greats who played after MJ retired. Watching the video with you reacting still brings back that nostalgia of the time in real life watching MJ do what he did, and that's capture the mind's of the people and have us wish we could do it like him, hence why the slogan began "I wanna be like Mike" lol! Trust me it was nothing like it.😎
@@mikefromnyc4111 You have to think to, the internet wasn't really a thing back then. Most people all hovered around one T.V. and most of the world knew who MJ was. That's how big a star Mike was, the guy shook the world with how good he was with a basketball.
@@___Anakin.Skywalker LeBron is amazing. But too many holes in his game and moments where he choked. Plus there's entire compilation videos of this dude flopping... can't be the goat with that.
All you feel I still feel 😂, being 46 and having watched Jordan back in the days and all the RUclips highlights maybe a hundred times 🤷♀️. I never get tired. Beautiful basketball 🙌🏻.
MJ ran a 4.3, 40 and could throw a football over 60 yards. His vertical was probably every bit of what they reported it as, especially when he had full adrenaline. The guy just rocketed off the ground in his young days. And he had a ton of ball skills even at an early age. That turn around jumper became something that was next level as he aged. MJ played all those 82 game seasons and rarely took more than the last 3 or 4 minutes of a quarter off. With more modern medicine and supplmenets MJ could probably play until he was 42 or 43 at near is 36 year old level. His NBA numbers don't fully stack up due to 3 years of college and about 2 years playing baseball.
I lived through MJ's entire career. He single handedly made basketball more popular. I'm from the Detroit area but I was lucky to be able to watch the Bulls games on cable and I watched them instead of the Pistons. MJ made great basketball players look pedestrian. He came into the league while defense was hand checking. It did not matter to him. He drove through you anyway... in his first couple of years he DID NOT PASS THE BALL, HE DROVE THROUGH THE ENTIRE DEFENSE AND SCORED ON THEM ANYWAY WHILE THEY WERE HAND CHECKING. He later started to pass the ball and then won championships year in and year out. I have never seen an athlete dominate his sport so much it really felt like he was in a league all of is own.
We'll give the GOAT status to MJ because he could do anything imaginable on the court. Man was not supposed to be able to do those sort of things that he did. As long as LeBron is considered 2nd best in history. He's unbelievable, as well. Better than Bird, Wilt, Kobe, Magic, Kareem, etc. I personally have never watched a game with Kareem or Wilt, however. I have watched Bird, Magic & Kobe play many times.

@@GhostbustersPhone8489 I hate to tell you but all the media push for LeBron is propaganda. They've convinced all of you younger guys that stats are more important that winning AND IT'S NOT. LeBron surely compiled a lot of stats but he lost more than he won and the rings he did win he took a shortcut by creating superteams. Guys in the past would have WAY more rings if they intentionally joined forces to build similar teams in their eras. Great player but he doesn't crack my top 5. Statistics alone mean next to nothing. Statistics are only important as a function of winning, period.
He’s the MOST skilled and IQ followed right behind it. But what makes MJ so great is that hand size. That was his main gift. 🤷🏾♂️ He was just smart enough to use it to his advantage. Paid TF off. And layup package is not top 5….It’s #1.
This is why he is the GOAT. For him this was easy it wasn't difficult at all. He was doing it over and over again. If you can do it over and over again that isn't exertion that is just pure skill and was just him. Notice how effortlessly he was doing it. He was just waaaay better than everyone else. Therefore GOAT. He was still able to play all of the minutes and all of the games. You think he was putting himself through a lot for him he wasn't. He was relentless and tireless. Could be GOAT's bow down to the GOAT. Unguardable with no weaknesses. Comparing anyone to MJ is blasphemy. Why do you think Kobe and Iverson idolized this man? MJ is so much more ahead of Lebron still and MJ only did it in 13 years all with 1 team.
Yea, that is what is so ridiculous about these highlight videos, Jordan's entire career pretty much looked like these highlight videos. He was like this every night. Another thing about his physical conditioning, not only did he play both sides of the ball at 100%, he also played all 82 games an astounding 9 times and had two other seasons where he played 80 and 81 games. So basically in 11 seasons he missed 3 games. To put that in perspective, Lebron in 19 seasons has played all 82 games 1 time.
@@jackastor5265 When you watch the video documentary of the 1992 Dream Team, they talk about how jordan was busy with different activities, was out having fun and entertaining himself. He went a number of days without sleep and was still able to perform at a high level out on the court. The other super athletes on the team marveled at that.
Great reaction video! Anyone watching MJ highlights is always left speechless no matter how many times they watch his style of play on the court! The Bulls mixtape video and the best rare voyager video have that kind of effect...✌️🤗
Every fan of the game of basketball should watch these MJ videos... If this is the kind of reaction it creates in you, imagine what it was like for those who saw him in person!! It's no wonder opposing players and coaches showed their shock and disbelief in what they witnessed during any game MJ played... No other player makes us react this way.... He's not from planet Earth!! He did it all on defense and offense knowing the other team was going to beat the living daylights out of him... That's what a true G.O.A.T. is willing to sacrifice for all 82 games and beyond!
i always point that out too, he played every game almost. i think only 4 years he played less than 80 games. 1 was an injury, another he came out of retirement and another he played 79 games and the other was when he was 38 years old playing for WAS.
Thank you Bruh...Mike made the ridiculous seem easy. How you summed up this reaction is how and why those of us who saw MJ play wonder how he is compared to LeBron or any of the current players. His skill and determination was unmatched. There are plenty of great players before and after Mike. But all you have to do is look at what he was able to do. No he didn't go between his legs and dunk. Times were different then but he would dunk on anyone from anywhere and at anytime no matter who you were. And it happened again and again. Vince Carter was a flashier dunker he was also more of a vertical drunker like Dominique. Mike would just consistently take off from further out and before anyone would expect it or from a crazy angle to the basket and do it again and again. These are some of the reasons he is considered the best dunker in history. And like you said the layup package was crazy. And we haven't even got to his defense yet. Anyway keep up the good work you got yourself a subscriber.
One of the things that most people don't realize about back then is there was no defensive 3-second rule so they could just FILL the paint...and this man would go over them, under them, through them...
The crazy thing about MJ was how, you know how most other players, they might have like one mixtape's worth of highlights over their entire careers. They can be nice. They can be good, solid players. But they just might not have a lot of plays that "pop" off the screen. MJ would be doing these ridiculous plays multiple times every single game. That's why there's so many clips of him, it's almost endless highlights. It could be a meaningless regular season game, didn't matter, you'll still see at least 1 or 2, make your jaw drop type of moves from MJ.
Larry Bird was my favorite player growing up and after MJ dropped 63 in Boston in 86 and Bird said "That was Jesus dressed up like Michael Jordan." I knew he was gonna be must watch the rest of his career. I'm glad I grew up in this era.
You said it. It’s not fair. The eye test is the first indicator. There’s no one like him. Past or present. And he’s 6-0. They’re all chasing a ghost. He’s really 9-0. Two Olympic Golds and a National Championship at Carolina. And how it looked visually was a major factor. It was pretty. You don’t often find guts and beauty in the same place.
Im 54 I’m trying for years to explain the lebron fans why Jordan is the greatest player ever thank God for the internet you can see by yourself who is the real King 🤴 of bball, the most skill ,the most creative,the most complete player ever existed,kobe is really close too.case close.
I am enjoying you react to this footage. I felt the same way back then and after watching him play we would go right to the nearest basketball court and get it in
I've told my son many times. I've never seen anything like MJ. He was just ridiculous. He use to constantly get doubled and tripled. And whole teams could barely slow him down. There's a vid that was made in 2018. It's call the complete statistical breakdown between Michael Jordan and lebron james. MJ still holds over 113 NBA records. No one is everywhere near MJ.
He was insane! And that's the thing - whole defenses were trying to stop him. There was so much defensive duress put on him but he took it as a challenge. And not only did he want to beat you but he wanted to embarrass you in front of your wifey and sidepiece. The guy's mindset was maniacal. There will never be another one like him.
@@mikefromnyc4111 So since wilt was a shooting guard for the globetrotters and he's as fast as MJ and can play 48 minutes. Which team for your life or you DIE would you bet on if it's a duplicate Mj team both just out of primes. With full bulls bench on both teams. Pg Ron Harper SG Michael Jordan Sf Pippen Pf rodman C Longley Vs Pg Ron Harper SG wilt chamberlain Sf Pippen Pf Rodman C Longley
@@mikefromnyc4111 you think MJ is beating wilt. On an equal team than your nuts. Even if you put wilt at center and Jeff hornacek at SG wilt still wins. He's more athletic just as fast he can pass better than MJ he's stronger he jumps higher and he jumps farther with less run distance all proven on film and famous statements.
MJ literally broke the game. There was no one before him and after his retirement who could do the this he could do and we're force fed LeBron James to fill that vacuum be he ain't no MJ the closest player is Kobe and he too took lessons from MJ.
His mother said it best, Michael hated to lose more than he enjoyed winning. That drove him to not only beat his opponent, he wanted to break their will and destroy them.
Nice vid, MJ came out to win and dominate, but he also wanted to put on a show for the fans, it was like a concert. He did things that were entertaining, beautiful and artistic. Even with todays athletes you would need multiple players to equal the things MJ did alone, a lot of his highlights are unmatched. Mike’s layup package is #1 dawg, no one has anything better. Jordan played with the defense, Bird did that too, look at the layup at 7:38 he jumps, taps his chest a couple times, adjusts his elbow around Barry and lays it off the glass while hanging in the air. GOAT!
@@mikefromnyc4111 Look up "Essential Jordan" it shows you MJ's game and you can really see how amazing he was and how beautiful his overall game was. Let us know what you think.
@@mikefromnyc4111 MJ was so good, its almost hard to accept a player like him existed. That isn't even exaggeration. He was so good on both sides of the ball its ridiculous.
I've never heard, and i definitely have never said, that lebron isnt a great player but it's not close. What i think is most disrespectfull is how people ignore Kobe and the other all time greats!!!!!
Hey brother you on the right page! He's definitely the greatest!. Consider he got cut by his varsity and had to play junior varsity because at the time he was only five seven and they already had a team who had committed to play the full 4 years
You're spot on with MJ having to go through, over, and around 2, 3, 4, even 5 guys to score while leflop does it against 1 maybe 2 guys and this newer generation, aka nick wrong, say that leflop is stronger and faster?? R u kidding me???
MJ was and still is the G.O.A.T. He had the Full Package without any weaknesses. And he came out to play every game he played in.. He was more exciting to watch when you saw him in person. You wouldn’t believe what you were seeing. He was just amazing. He’s the 🐐
Thank you young man for telling the truth. A lot of pride gets in the way of some men because they cant get over the fact that they have been decieved. Congrats
one those differences that sets him apart from kobe, lebron etc among the many is what you mention toward the end, mj was constantly moving and working off ball. Relentless with or without the ball, o or D, dont matter
Jordan's flowing, graceful athleticism contrasted with the physically rough and rigid attempts by the desperate defenders is like seeing a Picasso or Michaelangelo in motion.
I'm soooooo fortunate to have lived though the MJ area and you watched MJ every night to see something you've never seen regardless of the opposition! Spoiled me for the rest of my life!
I think Jordan could take off, do the airwalk right over homeboys head. And remember guys Jordan is only six six even after you reached his full potential then he started feeling out and shaving. I'm a UNC guy I live in Carolina Charlotte to be exact, Jordan didn't even visit any of the other schools because he knew he wanted to go to Carolina and his backyard so he could be next to his parents. And for those who don't know he had a very close bond with his mom and his dad. I have to say his dad was really close to him because he told him how to dribble a ball and help them practice and get into basketball signed them up got them in the Little League both baseball and basketball.
That's nuts! The perfect jumpshot. Beautiful technique. His game was just so engaging. And that's why even asses that were not b-ball fans would tune in to watch him. He was must see TV like Kobe to Shaq on NBC. #GOAT
Hahaha! Who wouldnt say that if you as whole team was mostly scoring, but then here he comes scoring too. And just mostly him, and everyone in your team as whole was trying to stop him. 😅🤣
The most fearful thing about MJ is, he's gonna tell you what he's going to do but you cannot stop him. he's gonna do that again and again, same move until you feel like you're worthless.
What you looking at is the GOAT NBA PLAYER MICHAEL JORDAN, doing really good dunks on the other NBA team's. I'll always say until the day I die that Michael Jordan is the GOAT.
now its time to get a ball,go into a basketball court and try to be like mike.we did this almost everyday a lot years ago after watching his games and highlights live.
In his final 3 seasons MJ DIDN'T MISS 1 GM. He Won 3 Rings, 2 league MVPs, 3 Finals MVPs, 3 scoring Titles, 3 all-NBA 1st team and Def 1st Team honors, 3x all-Star, 2x All-Star Gm MVP, 3x regular season total pts leader, 3x playoff and finals ppg leader. As an "old-timer" And In 88, most people know that Jordan was DPOY and scoring champ in the same season but there was so much more. MJ actually had a stack of accolades and records that will never be replicated in one season. like winning DPOY, League MVP, Scoring Title, Steals Leader. Everyone knows that. But he was also regular season Total points leader, All-Star Game MVP, Playoff PPG Leader, 1st player to ever post 200Stl/100Blk, only player in NBA history to post back-to-back 50-point games in the playoffs. And for good measure, won the slam dunk competition. No player including LeBron James have recorded all those accolades throughout their entire careers, let alone in one season like Michael did. -Michael Jordan is proven to be the greatest scorer of all time, -Greatest defensive guard of all time. -Top 3 greatest perimeter defenders of all time. -Greatest Playoffs/Finals performer of all time. -Greatest pickpocket of all time. -Greatest blocking guard of all time. (1st all-time with 893) -Greatest clutch player of all time. GOAT
LJ ain't doing none of that ever, you never seen what MJ could do before he came & so far we haven't seen nothing close to MJ after he retired like over 20yrs.ago, cause a GOAT is different you not suppose to see the likes of a real GOAT again that's one of the many things that makes him the GOAT of GOATS he stands out as different, & he was just as good on both sides of the ball, example you a young man in LJ era, & all it took was a video of MJ to prove to you who the real GOAT is! MJ game & style of play makes & close the case, that's why MJ not out here arguing over petty debates all you got to do is watch a video of MJ, & when you see him play you realize he is just like Superman, the strength of his offensive game is in the air, & when you think about it in some sports like basketball, or football, & yes even in the military, a good, strong air attack is a defense worst nightmare, & nearly unstoppable, that's what Jordan was offensively a High Powered Massive Air Attack!
Fact!!!!!!! Chew on this! For eight years, Jordan never lost three matches in a row. He recorded 626 duels without having a three-game losing streak.Aug 29, 2021
A big part of MJs game was off ball. Very overlooked part of his game. To me MJ and Bron 1a 1b in wtvr order as far as who’s best. But greatness is MJ obviously. MJs career made the NBA we see now.
The eye test is hard to argue with. What you are seeing made the whole world watch every game. People who didn't know what basketball was were watching.
I wish you would have been there to see him in real time bro every game was a f****** highlight man he played at that level every night during his entire NBA career . In the 13 years in the NBA he played 12 , full 82 game seasons the one year when he didn't do it was his second year when he broke his big toe compared to LeBron in his entire 17 year career he's only played 2 full 82 game seasons in a time where it's easy to score and there's no defense the NBA right now compared to when Jordan played you saw the footage Jordan was being tackled choked tripped I mean they were beating him up because he was just too much for them can you imagine LeBron playing in that era he would not have the 17-year career he has right now because he would have got beat the hell up this is a guy that flops from no contact Jordan took the contact and slammed dunk's on their asses and he was clutch he was never afraid to take that last shot or game winning shot unlike LeBron did LeBron choked when the game was on the line or when it mattered the most you couldn't depend on LeBron to make that most important crucial free throw all that matters is the eye test when you see Jordan play or LeBron play what do you eye's tell you what a player is good and great at or someone that has many flaws . When you see Jordan play you were in all and amazed you can't believe what you were seeing can you say that for LeBron hell no the eye test says it all where one player was great at everything and the other player had many flaws
I heard people went to Hakeem for foot work lesson I don't think MJ could teach would he did and if he could no one could learn it. And God gave him those hands
Imagine MJ playing in today's NBA, where there's no rim protectors and the perimeter defender can't lay a finger on the ballhandler without drawing a foul. Jordan would average 20-25 PPG on FT's alone!
That's the most intelligent thing you have said. And you are correct about their are great players in the top twenty and more, Michael Jordan is one in a billion, they just don't come along like that, that's why Babe Ruth, Tiger Woods, And more just don't come around everyday. They will be others just let it happen naturally. Stop pushing it on people. They will know and make up their own minds. Back when Michael Jordan was playing, we knew those guys he was going up against were the best in his Era, we also knew he has to be even better than them during his time, and he was. We love those guys back in the day in the 80, 90, 70, 60, and 50. We like these guys too, but when they start the Bull chit comparisons, we got to tell the truth about who is the greatest basketball player of all times Michael Jordan. They force us to say it.
MJ was ridiculous. I watched almost all of his games and I thought he was an alien. I understand the Lebron debate because he has accomplished a lot but if MJ hadn't retired twice in the middle of his career he would have one 9 or 10 straight.
You would find him very great if you realize what was the Era MJ played in and all his opponents. LeBron is a Whack,a crook whoever you want and would have been just a good banner back then
MJ and LeBron are different creatures, but the real difference is in the product comes from expectations. LeBron was told he was great earlier on. MJ was always told your good but... MJ was more wound up, and produced more greatness as a result. MJ is the GOAT.
I'm Good Like,I'm Good Like, I'm Good Like,I'm Good Like Great reaction! Keep repeating the same phrases over over over over. The ability to articulate your thought is a skill.
If you really want to understand, go watch games from his eastern conference finals and NBA finals on you tube. There are more but I would start there, maybe his series against the pistons, Knicks in early 90's. Those were rough games.
Yeah, imagine watching this unfold in 1985. There was nothing to compare it to. I used to say that Doctor J would give you three unreal plays a month and MJ would give you three unreal plays by halftime.

Even extra more if he wake up 🤣🤣🤣

Facts 💯
top 5 layup package? He has the greatest layup package.
completely agree
Great reaction bruh. I get the same feeling when I watch Jordan too.. He's the GOAT
straight talk bro ! MJ makes you feel different. He's on another level which no one has really gotten to
MJ ran a 4.3, 40 and could throw a football over 60 yards. His vertical was probably every bit of what they reported it as, especially when he had full adrenaline. The guy just rocketed off the ground in his young days. And he had a ton of ball skills even at an early age. That turn around jumper became something that was next level as he aged. MJ played all those 82 game seasons and rarely took more than the last 3 or 4 minutes of a quarter off. With more modern medicine and supplmenets MJ could probably play until he was 42 or 43 at near is 36 year old level. His NBA numbers don't fully stack up due to 3 years of college and about 2 years playing baseball.
I lived through MJ's entire career. He single handedly made basketball more popular. I'm from the Detroit area but I was lucky to be able to watch the Bulls games on cable and I watched them instead of the Pistons. MJ made great basketball players look pedestrian. He came into the league while defense was hand checking. It did not matter to him. He drove through you anyway... in his first couple of years he DID NOT PASS THE BALL, HE DROVE THROUGH THE ENTIRE DEFENSE AND SCORED ON THEM ANYWAY WHILE THEY WERE HAND CHECKING. He later started to pass the ball and then won championships year in and year out. I have never seen an athlete dominate his sport so much it really felt like he was in a league all of is own.
Jordan's resume is the closest to perfection than any player who has ever played the game. He's the GOAT hands-down.
So imagine how we felt when we watched it live... MJ is the GOAT.. It's not even close to debatable..
We'll give the GOAT status to MJ because he could do anything imaginable on the court. Man was not supposed to be able to do those sort of things that he did. As long as LeBron is considered 2nd best in history. He's unbelievable, as well. Better than Bird, Wilt, Kobe, Magic, Kareem, etc. I personally have never watched a game with Kareem or Wilt, however. I have watched Bird, Magic & Kobe play many times.
Here are some stats that make up Michael Jordan and LeBron James - 1 & 2 in G.O.A.T. Status:
1) Scoring Titles: 10 for MJ / 1 for LeBron

@@GhostbustersPhone8489 I hate to tell you but all the media push for LeBron is propaganda. They've convinced all of you younger guys that stats are more important that winning AND IT'S NOT. LeBron surely compiled a lot of stats but he lost more than he won and the rings he did win he took a shortcut by creating superteams. Guys in the past would have WAY more rings if they intentionally joined forces to build similar teams in their eras. Great player but he doesn't crack my top 5. Statistics alone mean next to nothing. Statistics are only important as a function of winning, period.
@@legacyns1 My Top 5 are: MJ, LeBron, Kobe, Kareem, Magic. What's your Top 5?
“Ive never seen anything like this. This is crazy. This is insane.” Yes, this is Michael Jordan. 🐐
He’s the MOST skilled and IQ followed right behind it. But what makes MJ so great is that hand size. That was his main gift. 🤷🏾♂️ He was just smart enough to use it to his advantage. Paid TF off. And layup package is not top 5….It’s #1.
That's what I said to myself when he said top 5. I'm like nope, it's #1.
I've never seen anybody with my own eyes be this great and gracefully at anything and probably never will
This is why he is the GOAT. For him this was easy it wasn't difficult at all. He was doing it over and over again. If you can do it over and over again that isn't exertion that is just pure skill and was just him. Notice how effortlessly he was doing it. He was just waaaay better than everyone else. Therefore GOAT. He was still able to play all of the minutes and all of the games. You think he was putting himself through a lot for him he wasn't. He was relentless and tireless. Could be GOAT's bow down to the GOAT. Unguardable with no weaknesses. Comparing anyone to MJ is blasphemy. Why do you think Kobe and Iverson idolized this man? MJ is so much more ahead of Lebron still and MJ only did it in 13 years all with 1 team.
Yea, that is what is so ridiculous about these highlight videos, Jordan's entire career pretty much looked like these highlight videos. He was like this every night. Another thing about his physical conditioning, not only did he play both sides of the ball at 100%, he also played all 82 games an astounding 9 times and had two other seasons where he played 80 and 81 games. So basically in 11 seasons he missed 3 games. To put that in perspective, Lebron in 19 seasons has played all 82 games 1 time.
@@jackastor5265 When you watch the video documentary of the 1992 Dream Team, they talk about how jordan was busy with different activities, was out having fun and entertaining himself. He went a number of days without sleep and was still able to perform at a high level out on the court. The other super athletes on the team marveled at that.
@@cyber6sapien 💯
Great reaction video! Anyone watching MJ highlights is always left speechless no matter how many times they watch his style of play on the court! The Bulls mixtape video and the best rare voyager video have that kind of effect...✌️🤗
Aerial artistry. We'll never see another one like him. Just too much steelo for one human being to have. #GOAT
Every fan of the game of basketball should watch these MJ videos... If this is the kind of reaction it creates in you, imagine what it was like for those who saw him in person!! It's no wonder opposing players and coaches showed their shock and disbelief in what they witnessed during any game MJ played... No other player makes us react this way.... He's not from planet Earth!! He did it all on defense and offense knowing the other team was going to beat the living daylights out of him... That's what a true G.O.A.T. is willing to sacrifice for all 82 games and beyond!
I couldn’t have said it better myself Bro….VERY Well said 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Preach, preach, preach💯
Mike wanted it like it was his last breath of air....every single night 82 games. I miss that from the NBA.
i always point that out too, he played every game almost. i think only 4 years he played less than 80 games. 1 was an injury, another he came out of retirement and another he played 79 games and the other was when he was 38 years old playing for WAS.
Thank you Bruh...Mike made the ridiculous seem easy. How you summed up this reaction is how and why those of us who saw MJ play wonder how he is compared to LeBron or any of the current players. His skill and determination was unmatched. There are plenty of great players before and after Mike. But all you have to do is look at what he was able to do.
No he didn't go between his legs and dunk. Times were different then but he would dunk on anyone from anywhere and at anytime no matter who you were. And it happened again and again. Vince Carter was a flashier dunker he was also more of a vertical drunker like Dominique. Mike would just consistently take off from further out and before anyone would expect it or from a crazy angle to the basket and do it again and again. These are some of the reasons he is considered the best dunker in history. And like you said the layup package was crazy. And we haven't even got to his defense yet. Anyway keep up the good work you got yourself a subscriber.
One thing I always notice is since MJ had such huge hands his one handed dunks just looked so pure.
When you got up out the chair On that freeze frame …I felt that!!!!!!
Man he started talking to wall, I think his mind snapped for a second.
One of the things that most people don't realize about back then is there was no defensive 3-second rule so they could just FILL the paint...and this man would go over them, under them, through them...
The crazy thing about MJ was how, you know how most other players, they might have like one mixtape's worth of highlights over their entire careers. They can be nice. They can be good, solid players. But they just might not have a lot of plays that "pop" off the screen. MJ would be doing these ridiculous plays multiple times every single game. That's why there's so many clips of him, it's almost endless highlights. It could be a meaningless regular season game, didn't matter, you'll still see at least 1 or 2, make your jaw drop type of moves from MJ.
Larry Bird was my favorite player growing up and after MJ dropped 63 in Boston in 86 and Bird said "That was Jesus dressed up like Michael Jordan." I knew he was gonna be must watch the rest of his career. I'm glad I grew up in this era.
You said it. It’s not fair. The eye test is the first indicator. There’s no one like him. Past or present. And he’s 6-0. They’re all chasing a ghost. He’s really 9-0. Two Olympic Golds and a National Championship at Carolina. And how it looked visually was a major factor. It was pretty. You don’t often find guts and beauty in the same place.
“You don’t often find guts and beauty in the same place” what a line I’m definitely using that
Damn... 9-0 never thought of it that way!
@@ducatister3674 11-0 if you count FIBA and International Championships. Never lost a championship series. Unmatchable and Incomparable.
And he was a Mc Donald’s cup champ too, and they won one more in France
Im 54 I’m trying for years to explain the lebron fans why Jordan is the greatest player ever thank God for the internet you can see by yourself who is the real King 🤴 of bball, the most skill ,the most creative,the most complete player ever existed,kobe is really close too.case close.
Amen 💯
I am enjoying you react to this footage. I felt the same way back then and after watching him play we would go right to the nearest basketball court and get it in
Literally did that the other day after watching glad you enjoyed it
I've told my son many times. I've never seen anything like MJ. He was just ridiculous. He use to constantly get doubled and tripled. And whole teams could barely slow him down. There's a vid that was made in 2018. It's call the complete statistical breakdown between Michael Jordan and lebron james. MJ still holds over 113 NBA records. No one is everywhere near MJ.
I'll check it out
He was insane! And that's the thing - whole defenses were trying to stop him. There was so much defensive duress put on him but he took it as a challenge. And not only did he want to beat you but he wanted to embarrass you in front of your wifey and sidepiece. The guy's mindset was maniacal. There will never be another one like him.

@@mikefromnyc4111 you think MJ is beating wilt. On an equal team than your nuts. Even if you put wilt at center and Jeff hornacek at SG wilt still wins. He's more athletic just as fast he can pass better than MJ he's stronger he jumps higher and he jumps farther with less run distance all proven on film and famous statements.
MJ literally broke the game. There was no one before him and after his retirement who could do the this he could do and we're force fed LeBron James to fill that vacuum be he ain't no MJ the closest player is Kobe and he too took lessons from MJ.
i agree, only Kobe came close to MJ.
His mother said it best, Michael hated to lose more than he enjoyed winning. That drove him to not only beat his opponent, he wanted to break their will and destroy them.
Nice vid, MJ came out to win and dominate, but he also wanted to put on a show for the fans, it was like a concert. He did things that were entertaining, beautiful and artistic. Even with todays athletes you would need multiple players to equal the things MJ did alone, a lot of his highlights are unmatched. Mike’s layup package is #1 dawg, no one has anything better. Jordan played with the defense, Bird did that too, look at the layup at 7:38 he jumps, taps his chest a couple times, adjusts his elbow around Barry and lays it off the glass while hanging in the air.

The 🐐
After seeing this I feel the exact same way I don’t even wanna debate now
Hey brother you on the right page! He's definitely the greatest!. Consider he got cut by his varsity and had to play junior varsity because at the time he was only five seven and they already had a team who had committed to play the full 4 years
You're spot on with MJ having to go through, over, and around 2, 3, 4, even 5 guys to score while leflop does it against 1 maybe 2 guys and this newer generation, aka nick wrong, say that leflop is stronger and faster?? R u kidding me???
Good job on this reaction, I like your energy and honesty, subbed.
Appreciate the love
You should start watching MJ individual game highlights and watch how he scored each point each game
What makes MJ the goat is that he expended that energy on O and D, and didn't take one day off for 82 game seasons... Mj put in 100% effort
MJ was and still is the G.O.A.T. He had the Full Package without any weaknesses. And he came out to play every game he played in.. He was more exciting to watch when you saw him in person. You wouldn’t believe what you were seeing. He was just amazing. He’s the 🐐
Playing against real true 7+footers you had to be his AIRNESS. 🐐
Thank you young man for telling the truth. A lot of pride gets in the way of some men because they cant get over the fact that they have been decieved. Congrats
one those differences that sets him apart from kobe, lebron etc among the many is what you mention toward the end, mj was constantly moving and working off ball. Relentless with or without the ball, o or D, dont matter
Jordan's flowing, graceful athleticism contrasted with the physically rough and rigid attempts by the desperate defenders is like seeing a Picasso or Michaelangelo in motion.
I'm soooooo fortunate to have lived though the MJ area and you watched MJ every night to see something you've never seen regardless of the opposition! Spoiled me for the rest of my life!
I think Jordan could take off, do the airwalk right over homeboys head. And remember guys Jordan is only six six even after you reached his full potential then he started feeling out and shaving. I'm a UNC guy I live in Carolina Charlotte to be exact, Jordan didn't even visit any of the other schools because he knew he wanted to go to Carolina and his backyard so he could be next to his parents. And for those who don't know he had a very close bond with his mom and his dad. I have to say his dad was really close to him because he told him how to dribble a ball and help them practice and get into basketball signed them up got them in the Little League both baseball and basketball.
True skill + true competitive spirit + truely sublime athleticism = the True Goat Michael Jordan
MJ was the greatest my world revolved around every bulls game for 12 Jordan years
If you google “Michael Jordan jumpshot” under images there’s a photo of MJ pulling up against dumars and Thomas and his waist is above their heads🤣✌🏽
That's nuts! The perfect jumpshot. Beautiful technique. His game was just so engaging. And that's why even asses that were not b-ball fans would tune in to watch him. He was must see TV like Kobe to Shaq on NBC. #GOAT
Even though I couldn't give a sh*t about basketball Michael Jordan was so good that watching him do things on a court genuinely makes me emotional.
Youngins don't understand. MJ changed the game for the most part. He was something special.
Hahaha! Who wouldnt say that if you as whole team was mostly scoring, but then here he comes scoring too. And just mostly him, and everyone in your team as whole was trying to stop him. 😅🤣
The most fearful thing about MJ is, he's gonna tell you what he's going to do but you cannot stop him. he's gonna do that again and again, same move until you feel like you're worthless.
What you looking at is the GOAT NBA PLAYER MICHAEL JORDAN, doing really good dunks on the other NBA team's. I'll always say until the day I die that Michael Jordan is the GOAT.
now its time to get a ball,go into a basketball court and try to be like mike.we did this almost everyday a lot years ago after watching his games and highlights live.
In his final 3 seasons MJ DIDN'T MISS 1 GM. He Won 3 Rings, 2 league MVPs, 3 Finals MVPs, 3 scoring Titles, 3 all-NBA 1st team and Def 1st Team honors, 3x all-Star, 2x All-Star Gm MVP, 3x regular season total pts leader, 3x playoff and finals ppg leader. As an "old-timer"
And In 88, most people know that Jordan was DPOY and scoring champ in the same season but there was so much more.
MJ actually had a stack of accolades and records that will never be replicated in one season. like winning DPOY, League MVP, Scoring Title, Steals Leader. Everyone knows that. But he was also regular season Total points leader, All-Star Game MVP, Playoff PPG Leader, 1st player to ever post 200Stl/100Blk, only player in NBA history to post back-to-back 50-point games in the playoffs. And for good measure, won the slam dunk competition. No player including LeBron James have recorded all those accolades throughout their entire careers, let alone in one season like Michael did.
-Michael Jordan is proven to be the greatest scorer of all time,
-Greatest defensive guard of all time.
-Top 3 greatest perimeter defenders of all time.
-Greatest Playoffs/Finals performer of all time.
-Greatest pickpocket of all time.
-Greatest blocking guard of all time. (1st all-time with 893)
-Greatest clutch player of all time.

Well said!
LJ ain't doing none of that ever, you never seen what MJ could do before he came & so far we haven't seen nothing close to MJ after he retired like over 20yrs.ago, cause a GOAT is different you not suppose to see the likes of a real GOAT again that's one of the many things that makes him the GOAT of GOATS he stands out as different, & he was just as good on both sides of the ball, example you a young man in LJ era, & all it took was a video of MJ to prove to you who the real GOAT is! MJ game & style of play makes & close the case, that's why MJ not out here arguing over petty debates all you got to do is watch a video of MJ, & when you see him play you realize he is just like Superman, the strength of his offensive game is in the air, & when you think about it in some sports like basketball, or football, & yes even in the military, a good, strong air attack is a defense worst nightmare, & nearly unstoppable, that's what Jordan was offensively a High Powered Massive Air Attack!
FACTS bro!!
That's why he's the GOAT! He played that way, All the time!
All the young folks look at Kyrie as the jelly man.....MJ is at a whole other level
I watched his career develop from day one and in that time i progressed myself to beat the biggest players just from the energy from watching him
That's why we get so mad when people say anything to pump Lebron because there's nothing he can do to make himself look better than Michael.
The defense during that time was brutal 🔥🔥🔥
Fact!!!!!!! Chew on this! For eight years, Jordan never lost three matches in a row. He recorded 626 duels without having a three-game losing streak.Aug 29, 2021
insane
Young Brother , your basketball IQ is off the charts. You 1000% on point.
A big part of MJs game was off ball. Very overlooked part of his game.
To me MJ and Bron 1a 1b in wtvr order as far as who’s best. But greatness is MJ obviously. MJs career made the NBA we see now.
True Definitely Facts
False. Bron not even top 5 lol
He's better than pretty much everyone
The most amazing thing about MJ is like it's almost every night he'd be doing these kinds of stuff.
please remove "almost" from the above comment.
Notice the perfection on every shot, lay up, dunk, everything.
"...that much energy for a mid-range?" hahahahahaha....Jordan had one gear....ass kicking....'nuff said.
Michael Jordan and Chicago bulls documentary "the last dance" on Netflix... (10 parts) straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The main difference between MJ and LeBron is that MJ always played to win, LeBron is playing to pad his stats.
Yes, MJ is the GOAT.
The eye test is hard to argue with. What you are seeing made the whole world watch every game. People who didn't know what basketball was were watching.
Facts man it’s a waste of time comparing other basketball players to Jordan, he’s on another level it ain’t even fair MJ is just a cheat code lol
I wish you would have been there to see him in real time bro every game was a f****** highlight man he played at that level every night during his entire NBA career . In the 13 years in the NBA he played 12 , full 82 game seasons the one year when he didn't do it was his second year when he broke his big toe compared to LeBron in his entire 17 year career he's only played 2 full 82 game seasons in a time where it's easy to score and there's no defense the NBA right now compared to when Jordan played you saw the footage Jordan was being tackled choked tripped I mean they were beating him up because he was just too much for them can you imagine LeBron playing in that era he would not have the 17-year career he has right now because he would have got beat the hell up this is a guy that flops from no contact Jordan took the contact and slammed dunk's on their asses and he was clutch he was never afraid to take that last shot or game winning shot unlike LeBron did LeBron choked when the game was on the line or when it mattered the most you couldn't depend on LeBron to make that most important crucial free throw all that matters is the eye test when you see Jordan play or LeBron play what do you eye's tell you what a player is good and great at or someone that has many flaws . When you see Jordan play you were in all and amazed you can't believe what you were seeing can you say that for LeBron hell no the eye test says it all where one player was great at everything and the other player had many flaws
The EYES dont lie.. Much respect to this young man for keepin it a hun dun!
I heard people went to Hakeem for foot work lesson I don't think MJ could teach would he did and if he could no one could learn it. And God gave him those hands
Whenever the Bulls were playing, the next day that’s all anyone was talking about. And yeah that was most of the country 🏀👀
Imagine MJ playing in today's NBA, where there's no rim protectors and the perimeter defender can't lay a finger on the ballhandler without drawing a foul. Jordan would average 20-25 PPG on FT's alone!
It makes you feel hunger and desire watching his game
LeBron can’t do any of this! Nor does he give the effort. There’s no comparison!
Just accept it young man..His skill level is elite. Superior defense,superior one on one. Athleticism has never been matched
The contact that was allowed back in Jordan’s era.
That's the most intelligent thing you have said. And you are correct about their are great players in the top twenty and more, Michael Jordan is one in a billion, they just don't come along like that, that's why Babe Ruth, Tiger Woods, And more just don't come around everyday. They will be others just let it happen naturally. Stop pushing it on people. They will know and make up their own minds. Back when Michael Jordan was playing, we knew those guys he was going up against were the best in his Era, we also knew he has to be even better than them during his time, and he was. We love those guys back in the day in the 80, 90, 70, 60, and 50. We like these guys too, but when they start the Bull chit comparisons, we got to tell the truth about who is the greatest basketball player of all times Michael Jordan. They force us to say it.
MJ was ridiculous. I watched almost all of his games and I thought he was an alien. I understand the Lebron debate because he has accomplished a lot but if MJ hadn't retired twice in the middle of his career he would have one 9 or 10 straight.
You would find him very great if you realize what was the Era MJ played in and all his opponents. LeBron is a Whack,a crook whoever you want and would have been just a good banner back then
MJ and LeBron are different creatures, but the real difference is in the product comes from expectations.
LeBron was told he was great earlier on.
MJ was always told your good but...
MJ was more wound up, and produced more greatness as a result.
MJ is the GOAT.
I spoke to people who have seen him play live and they told me it felt like it was surreal.. they couldn't believe what was happening.
Key words.intense..and competitive drive..unmatched
I'm Good Like,I'm Good Like, I'm Good Like,I'm Good Like Great reaction! Keep repeating the same phrases over over over over. The ability to articulate your thought is a skill.
If you really want to understand, go watch games from his eastern conference finals and NBA finals on you tube. There are more but I would start there, maybe his series against the pistons, Knicks in early 90's. Those were rough games.
Great Analogy. Eye test doesn’t lie more and more of the younger generation is for themselves how great that man is
