@@bobaltoI'm 25 and I agree. Obviously never saw it live, but looking at the numbers and looking at the accomplishments, the gap is just larger than the mariana trench 😂
I grew up watching Jordan. I've watched Lebron, Kobe and everyone else since that generation. Watching Jordan was like watching an alien. His sheer athleticism was something you can't even compare to another human. Night in and night out he did things that defied reality. Jordan is the goat. Period.
yup! grew up watching MJ in his era. being raised in the Philly burbs my dad would even take me to Kobe's highschool games at Lower Merion (bc word on the street he was the "next Michael Jordan"). To this day there is not a single basketball player that can touch MJ... not even remotely close. he was just different, & at least we get it! 🐐💥
I’m a living witness that saw this guy play I never seen a fierce talented skillful player like this in my life. MJ is the best basketball player that God ever created.
Bro you already know ..Wen i was 14years old watching MJ i knew i would never see an athlete like him in any sport, im 48 now and i can not tell you how much he meant to our entire generation..We were very lucky because there will never be anyone in sports like him again
Any player that can jump from the free throw line hash marks in full sprint and jump off TWO FEET is untouchable until someone else comes along with that in their tool bag. MJ was nutso in preparation
@@Tuan-FistofFuryGEE AM 56 OK EVERY ONE ON THE PLANET KNOWS MICHAEL JORDAN PAST AND PRESENT LOL 😆 WHO NEVER HEARD OF HIM LET ME NO AM VERY PATIENT I,LL WAIT
Watching MJ, you feel like there 100% chance that something special or unbelievable is going to happen in the game for every game. He made basketball exciting and you know he is going to give 110% every night.
Meet the G.O.A.T of all G.O.A.Ts we call him Air Jordan, His Airness, Flight 23 or simply the greatest basketball player in the history of the game. #23.
Black Cat and Black Jesus as well. Back in the day fans knew him as Air Jordan but players called him Black Cat, also, in his early years he had the name Captain Marvel which is something even many Jordan fans don't know.
I was blessed to have seen MJ play live and in person several times as a Bull and as a Wizard, he was something other worldly. He had a different aura around him that spoke to his greatness on the floor. People of today have no true idea just how great MJ was. Let me show you some of the names of Hall of Fame members he denied championships to during his run in the 1990's. Patrick Ewing, Clyde Drexler, Karl Malone, John Stockton, Reggie Miller, Chris Mullins, Charles Barkley just to name a few. MJ also made Nike the Shoe company that it is today, and is still making money off of his shoe line and his likeness. So to me there is no discussion MJ is the G.O.A.T.
Jordan sold out every arena he played in every season. I lived in Dallas during that time period and would kill to get tickets when the Bulls played the Mavericks but never did, they were always instantly sold out. He literally CARRIED the league in so many ways.
Notice he had no wasted movements? No fancy dribbling just to show everyone he had handles. Precise, Premeditated-like movements. 3-5 dribbles = bucket.
Because MJ always plays at 100%, he need to preserve his energy wisely, we still see some fancy moves when he is fresh in the league, but after 90s when Phil became the head coach MJ has learned to control his body to save energy for the entire game and season, that's why you hardly see MJ score like 2-4 points in t he forth unless he was pulled off by coach's decision, you always know he is going off in the 3rd or 4th if the game is closely tied or the Bulls are trailing behind. Also the reason he performs better in playoff than regular season which not many superstar players can do that. ( most under perform due to pressure and the intensity in the playoffs, Wilt is a good example of it )
You know, Space Jam was even more legendary because the season right after it was filmed Michael Jordan and the Bulls went on to have the greatest season ever with 72 wins and the championship
Jordan was a all defense team player, not just a scoring magician, and he played and won Championship with some of the best competition to include, Kemp, Shaq, Ewing, Larry Johnson and Morning, Dikembe, Hakeem O., David Robinson, Vince Carter and he beat and dunked on all of them. No one was his equal.
He was a rockstar, movie star, world leader and religious figure all in one. And remember basketball wasn't the number 1 sport back then but he was that famous.
I’d say in the top 3 of the most famous people on earth during his peak. The guy was in the same level of the world wide popularity with Michael Jackson.
Great reaction youngster. And I commend you for not being the typical young, bias and ignorant Bron superman lover. I fell in love with the sport back in 1979 because of Magic. I have bled purple & gold since then but without hesitation I proclaim MJ to be the GOAT. I was fortunate to have seen young then prime Mike a few times at the old LA Sports Arena vs Clippers and what my 20/20 vision witnessed is like nothing it had seen before or after him. I have also seen young and prime Bron a few times and I find it laughable that they're compared. I agree 100% with Hakeem who said "Jordan is a far more superior player and in a tougher league." And Magic said it best "There's Jordan then there's everybody else." Or was it Shaq that said it best "Jordan is a 10 and there's no 9s only 7s and 8s." It comes down to opinions, and I can guarantee you without reading any of the comments, that the vast majority will tell you Black Jesus is the GOAT.
@@katrinachavez3533 so well said...yeah Ive seen LeBron in all four stages of his career and LeBron was probably the best player in basketball at his peak in from 2012-2014 and its not close at all... LeBron did have some incredible highlights too around that time but its ridiculous to compare LeBron and his manufactured career to what Jordan did when he was the best player in basketball from about 1986-1997...and in that decade plus especially in the middle nobody ever questioned MJ as not only the greatest player of that time or his genre but ever... Guys like Bobby Knight who was kind of a dick was calling MJ the Goat before he ever played an NBA game and from the jump all the greats of his time were talking about his greatness before dude played his first game... He was like an alien. Its incredible
Man had 10 scoring titles with 7 in a row, 9 all defensive 1st teams, led the league in steals 3x, won a DPOTY, is still the fastest player ever to 100 blocks and a 100 steals, is still the only player to get 200 steals 100 blocks and score 3,000 points in a season, is the only player to ever have a 37.1 ppg season, still has the record for best 82 game stat line with 34/6/5 2 steals & 1.5 blocks, and still has the records for highest ppg for a career, and highest PER ever. His rookie year was 40 years ago, and his final retirement was 20 years ago. No one is even close to him.
I’m sick of this comparison. Jordan played every play, including defense like it was the last play. He was a work horse fighting against fierce defenses. Was hit and still finished the play with a basket. He had zero weaknesses in his game. Lebron is not even the gum on Jordan’s shoes. I am blessed having him play during my generation. He always brought something. PLEASE STOP THIS USELESS COMPARISON!!!
We can leave MJ off because he is the Icon of the icons. That's a door no one has open yet. Now we can argue bout Kobe, LBJ, OR whomever else . Just my perspective.
It's the way MJ made you feel when you watched him. I'm from Chicago and I watched him in person and on tv. Stop playing.....you know he's The GOAT...PERIOD!!
I grew up on kobe and lebron, jordan was before my time but I've seen his full game marathons on espn classic and in my eyes he clears them both easy. 30ppg career average, 10x scoring champion 9x all defensive first team, nobody is touching him. Bron has longevity but MJ has the highest peak in sports
People don’t realize and 16:30 on this clip the announcer said what a hang time move. Not realizing MJ still had time to clap his chest twice to say MY BAD I didn’t pass and still proceeded to hang in the air and make the lay up. This man was in total control! 🔥
Only emotional people will buy that bullshit. Any non emotional breakdown of every NBA player's resume in history, will fall seriously short next to MJ's resume.
Anyone who thinks anyone is even close to saying Lebron is the goat clearly doesn’t know basketball. Jordan was just unreal. Born to play basketball. Athleticism. Hand size. Mentality. Just everything he was a monster
Young people simply can't fathom, just what Jordan meant to the world in the 80's and 90's. EVERYONE knew who he was. Not just in the U.S. Not just Basketball fans. Every game was a highlight. And unlike current players, he was out there 82 games a year, 9 times. More than Kobe and Lebron COMBINED. He gave it all on the court for us.
He dunked over TREES! How many 7-footers did he dunk on in this video? He never shied away from taking it to the paint, in an era when it was filled with giant, legitimate shot blockers. And this is just a sampling of his career. He NEVER load-managed. He worked as hard on defense as he did on offense. He never went elsewhere to get a ring. The debate is a joke... MJ is by far the best of all time.
Just a quick fact my young brother, Jordan won MVP and DPOY in the same season, as a rookie average 29 pts per game and took the bulls to the playoffs in his rookie season. Won 10 scoring titles. He played with the bulls 14 season and won 6 rings and took 2 years off. The argument could be made if he didn’t take 2 years off he would of had 8 straight rings and the year he won his last champ they broke up the team. It would have been 9 lol I can keep going on and on but seeing Michael Jordan’s and Lebron play. Lebron is great but Jordan on another planet.
Bro labron is good and yah he’s from another era but let’s be real if I had a choice to go watch one of them play.Jordan all day.greatness on a whole other level
Jordan looked like an actual god in this mixtape. By far the greatest mixtape I’ve ever seen. A truly phenomenal and amazing player that will be talked about in households forever.
MJ played every game like it was his last it felt like if some the player in the league today has even a fraction of his competitiveness and killer instinct the league would be better everyone wants to be buddies and play together
First question. What’s your age? Not specific, of course. 20’s, I’m guessing. So you’re learning about the all around best athlete ever. This dude could’ve won Olympic Decathlons if he wanted to do that in his life. This guy inspired an entire world.
I was lucky enough to get to watch MJ from the time he was in college throughout his pro career and there was no comparison between him and all of the mere mortals and that includes the present day. Not only was he a phenomenal offensive player but he was just as gifted on defense. He was the ultimate competitor who pushed his teammates but he pushed himself harder.
People always say “Why would they just let MJ do that?” The answer is simple. Cuz then they would have to go back to the Jordan Rules…the only two dominant players to have rules against them was MJ and Shaq. Why? Cuz they were basically unstoppable.
Putting both at number 1 makes no sense and defeats the purpose of the number. Why not just say I never seen Jordan play and thus cannot make an informed opinion. The overwhelming majority of us who seen em both play know Bron has no business being mentioned with MJ....The two aren't even close
Lebron isn't better than Bird Magic Wilt Kareem Kobe Hakeem Duncan Shaq Russell Jokic and arguably West and Robertson so to put him in the same convo w Jordan makes no sense and is all fabricated nonsense by the media
MJ is the GOAT, but I'm not stupid. LeBron is 2nd (ahead of Magic, Kobe and Larry.) It was Bron's 39th birthday yesterday.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Jordan has all the moves and no weaknesses. MJ grew up playing basketball when there was no 3-point line. However, LeBron shoots it behind the arc at 34.6% and Michael at 32.7%. LeBron dominates the boards and the passing/assists category. MJ was the Rookie of the Year in 1984/85. LeBron won the same Award in 2003/04. Both megastars captured 2 Olympic Gold Medals each. Bron won a Bronze Medal, too. MJ was capable of dunking on a 6'5 opposing player or a 7'5 opposing player. LeBron, as well. Michael shot the midrange fallaway with terrific precision. LeBron loves taking a pass beyond the 3-point line and driving through the paint for a lay-up which is unstoppable. I am well aware of more stats like MVPs, Championships, Steals Leaders, Finals MVPs and defensive awards. I just don't want to list everything because it will end up changing from a 6 line paragraph to a 15 line paragraph. And no one will want to read it.
@@jackastor5265 I didn't realize that he won 6 rings and 6 MVPs I should probably remove Magic and input Kareem. I thought he played in that one specific era where there was only 8-10 teams in the whole entire league.
@@LastLetterisZed702 No that was Wilt and Bill Russell that played in the 60's and there were only 9 or 10 teams early on. Kareem played in the 70's and 80's when it was a full league and won 6 rings. He also lead the league in scoring for 30+ years, and also had the most unguardable shot in NBA history. Kareem is also probably the greatest college basketball player of all time, winning 3 NCAA championships in 3 seasons with UCLA.
Lebron dominates on defensive boards whereas Jordan averaged more offensive boards per game and still had total more off-reb than Lebron at the start of 2023.
@FREEZODTB. Now imagine watching this live. In 3d high definition. Real time. Stull to this very day, Noboby is doing what Jordan did. Jordan was and still is different, bro.
Let's go BabyFreezy... As someone who grew up watching the Lakers\Celtics rivalry as a kid and has also seen the entire Bulls dynasty era as well as the modern ones, Jordan is the GOAT to me personally. Never lost a finals that he played in, was defensive and offensive all NBA multiple times, and just had that ultimate, killer instinct. Not to mention how smooth his game was and how he just seemed like he could hang in the air, at least, twice as long as anyone else.
My Youngblood check Michael Jordan was one of the only complete players in NBA history. He was great at everything if you don’t believe me, there’s a thing called RUclips. You can go back and watch complete games the bulls against Detroit the bulls against the Celtics bulls against the Knicks bulls against Miami. Like I said MJ is GOD.
I'm glad I was fortunate enough to have watched MJ throughout his career and watching him play watch something else. Load management wasn't a thought so you knew if you're tuning into any bulls game, you're in for something good. He's Michaelangelo with a basketball and it was breathtaking cause you never knew what he was going to do that night. Picture all the h.o.f players during his playing days which spans about 5+ years that have no rings on their resume. Kobe (R.I.P) was the closest we will ever see to true poetry in motion and we will never see another shooting guard who can dominate and entire league in the fashion Jordan could
Happy New Year! Just want to add that they don't usually show what happened before the "last shot". Phil drew up the play to get the steal on Malone, Jordan executed perfectly, and got the chance to finish the series. I'm glad your eye test has been a pleasant one.
As someone who grew up a Bulls fan watching the greatness that was Michael Jordan he will always be the GOAT! He was less than a god but more than a man.
I saw him play back in the day. What these youngsters don’t realize is that Lebron doesn’t have the killer instinct & 🔥 that Jordan had. Talent alone doesn’t make you the greatest. Its determination & work ethic. Jordan had those 2 qualities in spades. That’s why you’ll never see another. The GOAT
It's not a debate!!! MJ NEVER, EVER flopped and he played 100% on both ends of the court!!! LJ definitely does the first and definitely does not do the second part of basketball!!! He is a media creation straight out of HIGH school and you better hope that Diddy never got him to attend any parties because LJ was the perfect age for Diddy at 18!!!
How you gonna say Lebron has moves that even come close to what this man did with the ball? It's so not even close that it's actually laughable that anyone think Lebron is close to this. MJ is the goat and everyone else is just fighting for second.
Just to let you know, he also stole the ball in order to take his last shot to win his 6 nba championship. MJ was unreal. i was privileged enough to see joe Montana jerry Rice ,Micheal jordan Tiger Woods, and Tom Brady play
MJ had 10 scoring titles with 7 in a row, 9x all defensive first team/1 second team, league steals leader 3x, a DPOTY and scoring title at the same time only player to ever do that), still the fastest player ever to 100 steals & 100 blocks, only player ever to have 200 steals 100 blocks and score 3,000 pts in a season, only player to have a 37 ppg season, still the league record 34/6/5 2 steals 1.5 blocks in an 82 game season, still the highest PER in league history, and only player with two 3-peats. His rookie year was 40 years ago, and his final retirement was 20 years ago. He was THAT good.
Michael Jordan is and always will be the G.O.A.T. There's more than just this video. It shows he passed to himself but look at the other teams jerseys. Watch Michael Jordan's highlights, Michael Jordan's defensive highlights and more
1:50 Amen. As an 80s baby, I was a year old when he was unleashed on the world and 10 when SJ came out. Just the news of Lebron’s remake made me shake my head like, “HUH??🤨🤨” That first dunk of this tape (I THINK) is in Space Jam (when his arm stretches like STRETCH ARMSTRONG?)♥️♥️#ThatWasReal🙃
Note how many defenders got knocked down, fell down, and laid the wood on Jordan at the rack ( Lots of and 1's today)..didn't stop him one bit. Many of those guys are among the NBA's all-time lading shot blockers. ( He was twice as strong as he looked, and could palm a pumpkin and hold it up and down with ease..scaaarrryyyyy.) Add that on to his game winning shot % (Highest in NBA history) and his defensive I.Q, you have a basketball nightmare waiting for ya every game.
There is a reason why people still can’t wait to get the new Jordans. I don’t hear people waiting for the new LeBrons. Heck, even LeBron, waiting for the new Jordans. Just sayin

Don’t confuse your favorite player, with the greatest player you have ever seen. Now just chew on that for a moment and let it sink in.
Bro labron is good and yah he’s from another era but let’s be real if I had a choice to go watch one of them play.Jordan all day.greatness on a whole other level
Theres MANY players more exciting to watch than boring ass Lebron
🥰MY GOAT FOREVER 🌟🌟
"Layups in cursive" - what a description. Perfect.
"Layup in cursive" Perfect
I'm lucky enough to have watched his career. I also had season tickets. This was every night.
There is no hustle or intensity like this in todays NBA…. Zero.
I agree
Jordan looked like an actual god in this mixtape. By far the greatest mixtape I’ve ever seen. A truly phenomenal and amazing player that will be talked about in households forever.
"I have to start from the bottom and work my way up."..
*It took MJ like 38 minutes to get from the bottom to the top. Haha 🐐
MJ played every game like it was his last it felt like if some the player in the league today has even a fraction of his competitiveness and killer instinct the league would be better everyone wants to be buddies and play together
He made the game look easy. I have yet to see anyone to date make it seem that way.
First question. What’s your age? Not specific, of course. 20’s, I’m guessing. So you’re learning about the all around best athlete ever. This dude could’ve won Olympic Decathlons if he wanted to do that in his life. This guy inspired an entire world.
I was lucky enough to get to watch MJ from the time he was in college throughout his pro career and there was no comparison between him and all of the mere mortals and that includes the present day. Not only was he a phenomenal offensive player but he was just as gifted on defense. He was the ultimate competitor who pushed his teammates but he pushed himself harder.
Michael Jordan had that MYTHICAL MAGIC
Hell, MJ’s rookie year, he went for 28/6/5 on 51% shooting. As a damn ROOKIE.
Back in the day they made a whole series of video games of Bulls vs and then there was a Jordan vs Bird game. all for nintendo i believe.
People always say “Why would they just let MJ do that?” The answer is simple. Cuz then they would have to go back to the Jordan Rules…the only two dominant players to have rules against them was MJ and Shaq. Why? Cuz they were basically unstoppable.
Let's not forget none of those plays were in an bubble Micky mouse tournament.
😂😂😂
😂... 🎬
After watching this mixtape I'm now convinced MJ is the goat.
The GOAT period!
Putting both at number 1 makes no sense and defeats the purpose of the number. Why not just say I never seen Jordan play and thus cannot make an informed opinion.
The overwhelming majority of us who seen em both play know Bron has no business being mentioned with MJ....The two aren't even close
Lebron isn't better than Bird Magic Wilt Kareem Kobe Hakeem Duncan Shaq Russell Jokic and arguably West and Robertson so to put him in the same convo w Jordan makes no sense and is all fabricated nonsense by the media
Nobody stopped Michael.
You got my like when you said 8:55 "he really out there looking like me, for real" 😂
I wasn’t kidding either 😂
MJ is the GOAT, but I'm not stupid. LeBron is 2nd (ahead of Magic, Kobe and Larry.) It was Bron's 39th birthday yesterday.. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Jordan has all the moves and no weaknesses. MJ grew up playing basketball when there was no 3-point line. However, LeBron shoots it behind the arc at 34.6% and Michael at 32.7%. LeBron dominates the boards and the passing/assists category. MJ was the Rookie of the Year in 1984/85. LeBron won the same Award in 2003/04. Both megastars captured 2 Olympic Gold Medals each. Bron won a Bronze Medal, too. MJ was capable of dunking on a 6'5 opposing player or a 7'5 opposing player. LeBron, as well. Michael shot the midrange fallaway with terrific precision. LeBron loves taking a pass beyond the 3-point line and driving through the paint for a lay-up which is unstoppable. I am well aware of more stats like MVPs, Championships, Steals Leaders, Finals MVPs and defensive awards. I just don't want to list everything because it will end up changing from a 6 line paragraph to a 15 line paragraph. And no one will want to read it.
The "2nd" Lebron has to be compared to is not Magic, Kobe, or Larry, its Kareem. You have to realize Kareem won 6 rings, and had 6 MVP's, etc.
@@jackastor5265 I didn't realize that he won 6 rings and 6 MVPs I should probably remove Magic and input Kareem. I thought he played in that one specific era where there was only 8-10 teams in the whole entire league.
@@LastLetterisZed702 No that was Wilt and Bill Russell that played in the 60's and there were only 9 or 10 teams early on. Kareem played in the 70's and 80's when it was a full league and won 6 rings. He also lead the league in scoring for 30+ years, and also had the most unguardable shot in NBA history. Kareem is also probably the greatest college basketball player of all time, winning 3 NCAA championships in 3 seasons with UCLA.
@@LastLetterisZed702
Lebron dominates on defensive boards whereas Jordan averaged more offensive boards per game and still had total more off-reb than Lebron at the start of 2023.
@FREEZODTB. Now imagine watching this live. In 3d high definition. Real time. Stull to this very day, Noboby is doing what Jordan did. Jordan was and still is different, bro.
There are 2 mountains in the NBA. One with MJ on top. The other with everyone else fighting for the top.
MJ just moved different.
23 is the prime. The number that cannot be toyed with
I’m going to try finding some LeBron socks to put next to my original Air Jordan sneakers!
MJ has consistently said Bird was the best he ever played against/with
Let's go BabyFreezy... As someone who grew up watching the Lakers\Celtics rivalry as a kid and has also seen the entire Bulls dynasty era as well as the modern ones, Jordan is the GOAT to me personally. Never lost a finals that he played in, was defensive and offensive all NBA multiple times, and just had that ultimate, killer instinct. Not to mention how smooth his game was and how he just seemed like he could hang in the air, at least, twice as long as anyone else.
Jordan only cared about one stat, winning. That's it. Win
My Youngblood check Michael Jordan was one of the only complete players in NBA history. He was great at everything if you don’t believe me, there’s a thing called RUclips. You can go back and watch complete games the bulls against Detroit the bulls against the Celtics bulls against the Knicks bulls against Miami. Like I said MJ is GOD.
An alien among humans !!
no other athlete brings the excitement that MJ brings to any sport ever...
I'm glad I was fortunate enough to have watched MJ throughout his career and watching him play watch something else. Load management wasn't a thought so you knew if you're tuning into any bulls game, you're in for something good. He's Michaelangelo with a basketball and it was breathtaking cause you never knew what he was going to do that night. Picture all the h.o.f players during his playing days which spans about 5+ years that have no rings on their resume. Kobe (R.I.P) was the closest we will ever see to true poetry in motion and we will never see another shooting guard who can dominate and entire league in the fashion Jordan could
Growing up on Jordan was a Blessing from God... #23 🐐
You just watched greatness the 🐐 its not even close
Those two dudes you said should quit basketball that MJ dunked on were Charles Barkley and Dr J 😂
this is the eye test
The greatest basketball player of all time. If Jesus comes down right now and said let’s play basketball. MJ will be his 1st pick.
Happy New Year! Just want to add that they don't usually show what happened before the "last shot". Phil drew up the play to get the steal on Malone, Jordan executed perfectly, and got the chance to finish the series. I'm glad your eye test has been a pleasant one.
Happy new year and wow, that’s incredible!
React to Michael Jordan BEST rare Video ever Voyager that’s the title of the video unseen footage of MJ it’s unbelievable.
Reaction was priceless 🔥🔥👍! Excellent reaction !
As someone who grew up a Bulls fan watching the greatness that was Michael Jordan he will always be the GOAT! He was less than a god but more than a man.
If you're playing a sport, and your peers and competitors are calling you 'Black Jesus' or 'Jesus in Nikes', then that says it all
Lmaoo trueee
I saw him play back in the day. What these youngsters don’t realize is that Lebron doesn’t have the killer instinct & 🔥 that Jordan had. Talent alone doesn’t make you the greatest. Its determination & work ethic. Jordan had those 2 qualities in spades. That’s why you’ll never see another. The GOAT
MJ = GOAT 🐐
It's not a debate!!! MJ NEVER, EVER flopped and he played 100% on both ends of the court!!! LJ definitely does the first and definitely does not do the second part of basketball!!! He is a media creation straight out of HIGH school and you better hope that Diddy never got him to attend any parties because LJ was the perfect age for Diddy at 18!!!
You kids are too young to remember the video game Jordan Vs Bird (Nintendo).
Jordan vs Bird was a video game back in the day. So, the rivalry and comparisons were real.
How you gonna say Lebron has moves that even come close to what this man did with the ball?
It's so not even close that it's actually laughable that anyone think Lebron is close to this.
MJ is the goat and everyone else is just fighting for second.
Just to let you know, he also stole the ball in order to take his last shot to win his 6 nba championship. MJ was unreal. i was privileged enough to see joe Montana jerry Rice ,Micheal jordan Tiger Woods, and Tom Brady play
MJ had 10 scoring titles with 7 in a row, 9x all defensive first team/1 second team, league steals leader 3x, a DPOTY and scoring title at the same time only player to ever do that), still the fastest player ever to 100 steals & 100 blocks, only player ever to have 200 steals 100 blocks and score 3,000 pts in a season, only player to have a 37 ppg season, still the league record 34/6/5 2 steals 1.5 blocks in an 82 game season, still the highest PER in league history, and only player with two 3-peats.
His rookie year was 40 years ago, and his final retirement was 20 years ago. He was THAT good.
Michael Jordan is and always will be the G.O.A.T. There's more than just this video. It shows he passed to himself but look at the other teams jerseys. Watch Michael Jordan's highlights, Michael Jordan's defensive highlights and more
1:50 Amen. As an 80s baby, I was a year old when he was unleashed on the world and 10 when SJ came out. Just the news of Lebron’s remake made me shake my head like, “HUH??🤨🤨” That first dunk of this tape (I THINK) is in Space Jam (when his arm stretches like STRETCH ARMSTRONG?)♥️♥️#ThatWasReal🙃
MJ was and still is the G.O.A.T.🐐 and nobody is close.wait Kobe came close that’s why he’s my number 2. Player.
Jordan goat
MJ 🐐🐐🐐🐐💯💯💯💯
Best player to EVER exist! Period!! 👍
layup in cursive is so legit love that analogy
Note how many defenders got knocked down, fell down, and laid the wood on Jordan at the rack ( Lots of and 1's today)..didn't stop him one bit. Many of those guys are among the NBA's all-time lading shot blockers. ( He was twice as strong as he looked, and could palm a pumpkin and hold it up and down with ease..scaaarrryyyyy.) Add that on to his game winning shot % (Highest in NBA history) and his defensive I.Q, you have a basketball nightmare waiting for ya every game.
M J was and still is the G.O.A.T. 🐐, and it’s not even close. Kobe Bean Bryant is my number 2.
I wish I could buy everyone a Basketball encyclopedia to study before they comment on anything.,. especially anything before their time.
Shout Out to You And Your Daughter BabyFreezy!!💯MJ 23 Is The G.🏀.A.T.!!!💯
The best 2-way player I ever seen
There is a reason why people still can’t wait to get the new Jordans. I don’t hear people waiting for the new LeBrons. Heck, even LeBron, waiting for the new Jordans. Just sayin
That’s big facts
Great reaction. Check out Jordan "one of the best defenders ever ". Then you will know who is number 1..
Will do boss
