Michael Jordan: Arguably the Greatest Shot Blocking 2 Guard Ever.

- I say "arguably" because you can make a case for Dwyane Wade, who is 2 inches shorter.

The block at 1:29-1:32 is very rare, and is in my opinion one of, if not THE, most absurd defensive play ever. Goes up looking to block with his right hand. is faked out on the shot attempt, has the awareness, reaction time, and physical dexterity to contort his body in mid-air, spins around and blocks the shot with his OTHER hand all before landing. Honestly, when you really consider it it's just mind-boggling. Never seen anything like it. He has another couple of defensive plays on that level too - most notably the steal vs. James Edwards in like 1990 where he contorts himself around for the steal.
Any clips of this? Never seen anyone else do it, and to be honest I'd doubt either of them could do exactly that play - not because they lack the raw leaping ability or hang time, but more so the body control to turn in mid-air like that and also the timing to keep track of the ball while in the air like that. I'd need to see it.
jordanlover23 I have never seen a block like that! the awareness to use he other hand when he's already attempted a block
Thanks for that clip - amazing block by Griffin also. Would like to see the Lebron one which was mentioned.
Very athletic but it looks like he slapped his arms and not the ball
jordanlover23 blake griffin did the same thing, without a foul...
He is amazing. Lefthended blocks, perfect timeing, prediction of oponent moves plus all that with elegance... G.O.A.T.!!!
He's a complete player. That's why he is the real GOAT. NO HESITATION…
Look at the hands he is using to block those shots. sometimes is the left, sometimes is the right. this dude was ambidextrous. used both hands equally for everything. used both feet equally. I played 15 years basketball. Its very hard to use both. I favor my right hand and left foot. he uses both hands and both feet. he's like the uncertainty principle in motion. could be left leg right hand, or left leg left hand or ... the other variations. not gonna mention all of them because there are too many. this guy had it all. so beautiful to watch. I'm not even envious. I hang my jersey a long time ago. But still fun to watch MJ. Always fun to watch human excellence. Doesn't happen that often.
MJ has the ability to jump either one or two legs so quickly. Not to mention his athleticism and perfect timing in blocking shots. Also he has perfect timing and know which hand to use depending on the angle.
I've always said I'm more amazed at his defense over his scoring! MJ, there will never be another one like you!
MJ jumps as high as he can for blocks as he does with his dunks!!! nothing really compares to the GOAT!!!
Why is Jordan the goat.
Because he was just as great defensively as he was on offense.
A case can be made that he is top 3 all time on both sides of the ball.
Broo he is really sangoku
- He have ultra instinct
- He retired but got resurect
- He can fly
- He is the goat
His every best moves are the best moves in nba at the same time.
I always thought i understood how Jordan was picked 3rd...That is until now that I've seen a lot more of his college highlights. He was even Mike back then. BTW...he hit his head on the backboard on that last block...SAVAGE
thats a long list of centers that mj had blocked.
Epi Agunla MJ don't discriminate lol, he dont care if you are a 5, 3 or playing the 1 watch out
CASUAL FANS WILL ALWAYS OVERLOOK THE D THAT MJ PLAYED....
The verocity of His slap rejections... Like everything else was meant to discourage and humiliate his opponents
OMG check out his mid-air adjustment blocks. The offensive player has made him jump in the air with a shot fake and he still blocks it. So far it happens twice in this video. I've never seen anyone do that. Thanks for sharing.
Thank God! I've been finding that who did he block
@@kenjoshuaroslinda635 1:29-1:32 from user jordanlover23 and 3:10 user A-rob is a Beast
I like how he has such crazy hang time that other players could get Jordan to bite on their pump fakes but he would still block it anyway lol
he was the best shot blocking 2 guard, no question
Wade
Anonymous User no way
@@anonymoususer2080 wade played way longer and it took him way longer to catch up to MJs block total and even then strictly as a bull (when he was actually trying to win chips) he averaged 0.9 bpg which would put him as the average by a gaurd ever if u took away his 2 useless years with the wizards
with that vertical jump and anticipation, he can be one of the best volleyball player ever too...
Dominant on BOTH ends of the court, the best...
3:10 .. Really , You beat MJ on a legit pumpfake , and you forget he has hangtime . He hung so long that you thought he landed and he still blocked you bro . u serious .lolzzzzz!!! 7:30 -what is this beach Volleyball !!lolzz 7:35 MJ crash landing . He gets pumpfaked and takes out entire teammate H. Grant And Mullin , almost jumps over them , kicks them and still was trying to block him as for him to not get an AND1! Lolzz the intensity and the focus #nextlevel
man its amazing that he never gothis head banged up to the boards with the way he jumps.. unbelievable!!! GOAT!!!
He banged his nape (back of his head) on the last block.
jasper junio the last clip he banged his head on the board. Thats how crazy he can jump.
Now THATS real shotblocking skill. Not some stupid linear chasedown block you can see from a mile away.
1:30 the hang time unreal
The same goes for 3:10. Look how long he stayed up in the air.
Zhihan Lee Leloser just doesn’t compare. At all
that's why mj is the best ever
@ 9:43 he did hit his head to the backboard.. lesser players would probably be in the hospital getting his head check..
Actually he did hit his head to the backboard at least once.
Tell me that young MJ in that last sequence was not flying.
Jordan! Everyone thinks of just his offense which was jaw-dropping. No doubt but his defense was just as special! MJ the originator of the chase down block AND blocking true centers!! Ewing, Hakeem, Smits, Shaq... You all can get some!!!
He hit his head on the backboard on that last block..... GOAT!!!!
So beautiful
more love needs to be had in this comment section for 00:25
like, really? That play was bananas
incredibly timed blocks
MJ love to blocked with 2 hands😂
the Xavier MacDaniel block was amazing. that was the best game I ever saw.
Assassin mode ON. His body language is amazing. When you see him jumping you know he's gonna get that ball. Amazing.
Dude was literally a predator on the court.
@@ballislife9989 the third one (at about #0:45) when he was with the wizards and 40 years old is just savage. embarrassing. there are no words to describe.
Nice music！！
i don't think there is much argument about it
Before there was none, until Dwyane Wade came.
I think D Wade has surpassed him.
D Wade is just unbelievable, his timing on blocking shots is unparalleled.
Yeah, I think so too.
ill only count surpass if they played same total games,, if not the case then its not surpassing to me
@@rumbajuice d wade????? that's a joke right? He may have great timing but he isn't physically capable of making the same plays jordan was
His Airness!
His handles are good too
D wade would be my number two shot blocking guard
James harden
@@manofwisdom2023 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hard work ,determination.
His timing as a defensive player was just different than other players, quicker, consistent with hang time
Some of the cleanest blocks I've ever seen.
I have no idea why lebron is even slightly compared to this man
It goes to show how sorry the nba has gotten
Totally agree..
he really navigates and glides in the air, ehen he missed the fitst attempt, while on air he changes direction.
l do believr now that he really can fly!
Cant really argue, MJ is on a list of 3 people in NBA history to have at least 100 blocks and 200 steals in a season. MJ is the ONLY person to do it twice.
Nice work on the upload. Thanks.
Wade aint got no DPOY awards,...or the records MJ holds on the defensive end,...so its NOT "arguably".
@Oasis That's what alot of these morons don't understand. MJ wasn't going for any sort of life time goal. He didn't give ass about it. But Kobe, played until he was a broken pathetic shell of himself to just eek out over MJ.
@Oasis 9 all-defensive team (Oh I refer to MJ)
He's also the best pickpocket/passing lane thief at the 2 in history (all the other top guys are PGs), AND also probably the best on-ball defender at the two in history.
How quickly ppl forget....
I really enjoy the music behind your videos it really ads to that feeling that you got watching when watching Michael Jordan play. Poetry in motion as they say. He's so agile and so fluid with his movements and to able to accelerate from a stopped to go to make his body react to his thoughts like his reaction time so instantly is the best I've seen. Lots of players have 1 or 2 " pretty moves" but let's be honest every movement 23red makes is the perfect motion nothing is wasted or looks ugly. Jordan 23.... people do forget that when he played basketball he didn't play conservatively he played all out. Especially today's nba players. With Jordan's athleticism his strength his speed his air his balls his ethic his win no matter what his load management wtf I wana win. He ain't letting anyone dominate or beat chicago while he chills on the bench havin a good ol chuckle on a day off lol. He literally would be basket steal basket steal basket steal with a whole lotta air and fade aways thrown in for good measure in today's cotton wool my pinky hurts era he'd man handle half the league with a cigar in his mouth. He'd take it personal if ya lighter died and drop 70 on ya. Goat and easy not actually close if we bein real. He is the perfect player
his vertical leap is
Those hang time blocks are just sick! These are professional NBA players he is doing this to, not some scrub playground players. Unbelievable, just unbelievable. (smh)
Not arguably. He's definitely and by far the greatest shot blocking 2 guard ever
Scott Freebass #beats dwyane wade
Harold Green Who?
Harold Green no way
Arturo Bandini no way
Dwayne Wade passed Jordan on the shot-blocking list and he's 2 inches shorter.
Defense just as great as his offense that makes him the GOAT.
If you plan on doing a steals compilation...make sure you get the steal he had on James Edwards vs. the Detroit Pistons. It's the craziest thievery I have ever seen and looks near impossible to pull off for mere mortals.
Yeah, that's my most favorite steal from him....I still don't believe he was able to do that....if you tried to explain it to someone without them actually seeing it, it's real tough....pays off to have quick & big hands like that.
bwink23 Dude stopped on a mouse pubic hair with pure precision to pull that Jack move too.
jaboo82681 is there a video on youtube of it?
Got a link of that play? I might be aware of it but want to make sure.

Around 1:06 mark
Can you imagine if you're Lebron or Steph and you got a guy on the opposing team scoring on you with ease whilst at the same time making you fight for every point. Being on his team would galvanise you whilst at the same time demoralise the opposition. He did this to all time great players in the 80's and 90's so what makes anyone feel it would be any different against todays players.
"2 guard"? MJ is the all time leader in career blocks for all guards, reaching 125 (1.5 bpg) and 131 (1.6 bpg) blocks in consecutive seasons. Wade's best is 106 (1.3 bpg), though he has a few more career blocks in the playoffs.
2 guard refers to shooting guards, and 1 guard (PG) you usually don't count on them on the blocking department
@IslangDong317 still.. total stats doesn't technically mean better
@@P-van True but you have to give Wade his credit especially being smaller than Jordan but still swatting people weak shit out here lol
@@wood4278 but he played more seasons than Jordan. So he needs more seasons to surpassed it
Except D Wade played worse competition and fast paced basketball games
0:51 this is how you treat a kid on a fisher price rim who stole the ball from you while you wasn't looking LOL and at 1:30 i believe that was just stupid, how do pause yourself in the air then turn yourself around to block the shot with your opposite hand and people want to pretend he can be past
Well at least Blake did it too though, maybe he watch MJ plays wkwkwkwk
He's got more blocks than any guard in NBA history. I don't thinkb there's much of an argument for anybody else.
would be pointless to argue against it, you could but you would be wasting your breath.
MJ Didn't hesitate..not for one second. Killer on bove sides of the floor. That's what he and Pippen also inspired on the rest of the team. And with a great coach, that's how you create a championship team.
At 7:36 MJ jumps so high, the bottom of his foot landed on top of Chris Mullins shoulder. Mullin hadn't shot yet so it probably was a foul but Michael didn't care, he still blocked Mullins shot on both of their ways down. GOAT
Wow great video thanks!
Awesome video
The greatest player eva...
Heroes are remembered!!!!!!!!!!!! LEGENDS NEVER DIE!!!!!!!
you missed the video of Jordan doing a frontal flyswatting block on kareem's sky hook
Link please
damn, GOAT jumps high
No "arguably," he is the best shot blocker ever among guards. Stats don't lie. Wade is close, but that's it. As an amusing side note, Lebron got a bunch of attention for all his chase down blocks that one year and some started claiming he might be the best shot blocker in the league, and in fact he wasn't even the best shot blocker on his own team, as Wade finished the year with more blocks.
Imagine him playing with zone.
And this is why they won 6 out of 6 Defense wins titles
goats play both ways best all time at both ends at SG period
Block at 4:37 was inexplicably ruled a goaltend. I remember the Bulls announcers going apoplectic after that whistle.
Bwahahah i can't stop laughing every time i see this 7:38 he's not only getting the ball with him,but he took his teamate grant and also mullin along with him!
Yuusei Kurusu and that was the era of genuine basketball. No flopping by Mullin, even though he did take a foot to the temple. Play til the whistle.
😂 true
Also @@satatay23 "...a foot to the temple" nice
Relentless!
"GREATESTTTTT"""" everrrrr
MJ at 6:03 stays in the air and got a cup of coffee then baaam!!!
Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball blocker of all time
Easily the most underrated part of his game. MJ was doing chase down blocks when Lebron was still in diapers.
itll be a season long injury if the now players hits head like 9:40. #23GOAT
GOAT!
My GOD
great volley ball video dude!
that block on Parish..
Daaaaaaaaaaaamn
What an athlete .... hitting the backboard with your head, while jumping backwards!
He Went through 2 screens to get a block #fighter
These kids can't be serious with this Dwayne Wade?
and lebron defense was like..duh..not even close. no comparisson, no argument, no whatsoever. MJ the GOAT
Great vid man.
Nowadays all you see is come from behind and no straight up and go get it. And yes I am referring to LeBron who is 2 inches taller but things like this is why we love MJ and cannot put anyone above his Airness
3:10 Ultra Instinct actived
El mejor basquetbolista
Unico e inigualable
MJ-23 por siempre # 1
The greatest shotblocking guard of all time followed by Dwyane Wade on 2nd.
If Michael's the best shot blocking SG, then D. Rose gotta be the best shot blocking PG and Scottie is arguly the best SF at shot blocking. Hakeem at C and Dwight Howard at PF.
Not just goat. Could probably be goat defensive player if he didn't have so much offensive load to carry.
7:38 😆😆😆😆
MJ. I'm just flying by..
jordan did this consistently plus had to score miss this kind of play...
👍
Stop the cringe why you liking your own comment
Thanks.
A block is a block but a lot of MJ's blocks were so blocked they should have counted twice.
DWades era has mostly been small ball era. He's barely slightly ahead any MJ block metric and slightly behind MJ in career total blocks, but i value MJ's blocks more. It's like comparing guard uncontested rebounding numbers today to back then among dominant bigs and true power forwards cluttering the paint.
