Jordan was a complete finisher the minute he walked into the the league. Looks completely natural and instinctive. A polished and explosive first step leading to an unbelievable package of finishing moves. Floaters, pull-ups, bank shots, reverse layups/ dunks, double pumps, switching hands in mid-air..... all equally good with left and right hand at the rim. Obviously his mid-range and fadeaway/ total post-game would be highly polished during his second Bulls-stint but you can see it clearly that he was on a different planet just from a finishing stand-point.... A natural master of acrobatics.... he could just feel the positions/angles needed to finish every single damn shot.
Straight Facts!
He was fearless, against a bunch of nba all stars he still kicked their asses
Yah, too bad his talents were wasted early in his career with thr bulls, he really got a shit deal being drafted by them
@@MicroWave233 Knowing Jordan, he would have relished the challenge.
He was ahead of his time. No other guard was even close keeping up. True generational talent.
*today no one can keep up with the 2000-below generation simp*
SavageBoy you’re dumb
YALL NEED HELP really what about the current NBA?🤣
@YALL NEED HELP Jordan is better defender than those
Brian G The 2000-2007 defense is MILES above slow unathletic 80s and 90s
Letting the world know he's the GOAT since day 1 against legends.
The balance, grace, agility, fundamentals, and explosiveness of this man were incredible and really unprecedented - even in 1984. The way he can so smoothly adjust in the air -- whether it be a jump shot, layup, or anything else multiple defenders can throw at him. With a few exceptions, no NBA player today or in the past possesses equivalent skillset or raw talent, and absolutely none of them can match the competitiveness and ability to step up in the clutch at the highest level of the game. Not to take anything away from Kevin Durant and Giannis this year, they were both incredible in the playoffs. But there is a reason why the vast majority of NBA players and commentators still believe Michael Jordan is the GOAT, and even back in 1984 you can see the makings of how the greatest basketball player came to be.
Jordan is totally amazing for sure. But we often ignore that dr j had his fundamentals explosiveness balance agility and Grace. Him and Skywalker is where MJ got it from. And they got it from Connie whom got it from elgin.
The main reasons the majority feels MJ is the goat since he’s retired is because of media marketing deciding MJ was going to be the golden child to push as a goat and make mass money off branding him as well as the decision to not show basketball film at large prior to 1992
People today do not have a correct image of basketball history and have let narratives distort reality such as magic and bird saving the nba and then MJ saving it after them. They don’t realize a whole beautiful universe of basketball goathood was in fullest effect from the mid 60s-mid 70s where we even saw talent and incredible flashy and explosive players that surpassed the likes of dr j, MJ, gus Johnson, etc… with guys like crackerjack, Joe Hammond, Earl Manigault, ollie Taylor, etc… that didnt even choose the nba however the legends of the nba would prove themselves against these guys during the summer pro leagues in the offseason to keep their skill sharp rather than rest with 0 load management or so called advanced tech and medicine during a highest pace game of havin to keep up with high iq ball movement all with playing the game at its highest level of difficulty with the hardest rules to play it by.
This time frame produced a few guys that for sure are overall greater players than Mike and everyone else today and the media has turned the worlds brain to mush when it comes to realizing that reality causing most people today to forget that an nba existed prior to jordan bird or magic, or to be as ignorant and uneducated enough to truly believe and spew out that this era was full of players and circumstances that are considered too weak and whack to compare to the ones after.
It also further removes people from the reality that people choose MJ as the goat majority today especially due to constant media outlet tv and footage but the people who do choose him are also majority not from prior eras of MJ while majority of people from prior eras pick guys like Wilt just as the future will be picking Lebron. Only difference is from prior eras of guys picking wilt, that era didn’t have half the footage or media control that MJ or Lebrons era has or the next one after Lebrons will have where they will be picking curry or some other new kid etc…. And above all else, just cuz a majority opinion picks a player, never proves anything as only objective reality of the extents of what each players individual capabilities are as an overall player will be the only ways to ever prove who’s greater than who and who’s the goat.
Bobby Knight claimed Jordan best he's even seen, even before Jordan played a single NBA game!
Actually, respectfully, Knight didn't say that till about 1993.

He said this way before MJ played a single NBA game
@@eazyduzit-tr3nx Not true. I have seen the clip before, and nothing from this clip suggests it was from 1984. Bob Knight looked a lot younger in 1984.

There’s a shit load of articles pertaining to this...
@@idansolon4715 Idan you sound like a jealous LeBitch Blames fan LoL 🤣!
Man, his college Olympic team was beating teams with Magic, Bird & Isiah and they never lost to anybody. It shows that if his early Bulls teams were any good, it would have been interesting to go up against those players during the season & playoffs.
In my eyes if the 90s bulls was dropped into the 80s they come out the East every year if Jordan and the crew are healthy and motivated.
@@picassojulien899 I second that. MJ was at his absolute prime during the 1st 3peat.
@@picassojulien89980s Jordan is better than 90s Jordan tho ppl dont understand that bcuz they are always saying we forgot Jordan in the 80s i was like nahhhh hes better in the 90s hes just have bad teammates back then lol
@@dxtremecaliberyep , 80’s Mj was quicker , and a slasher daring teams to make him make that jump shot , which he did, prime Jordan of the nineties was stronger, and more seasoned picking his spots defensively, which is a great credit to Pippen, so he could be that great scorer deep into the playoffs and the finals especially in the fourth quarter where he could wear out smaller opponents in the post with that turn around mid range jumper
The bounce, the agility, the hangtime, the competitive drive. Nobody has reached that level of skill since
Correct. Nobody.
At 0:10...notice how he avoided dribbling down the court, allowing him to gracefully run up until the ball smoothly gripped his hand, for the rock the cradle dunk.
That was so smooth
look at Jordan man so inspirational
That summer of 84 is incredibly overlooked..MJ proved he was the best even if he hadn't play an nba game up until that point
Underrated but true statement. He terrorized Zeke, Bird, and Magic before he hit the league. They knew what was coming.
🍺
??It says he played all 82 games in 84, do you mean 85?
He had great fundamentals. Coach Smith really deserves a lot of credit for making him the player he was
Shows the value of staying in college and developing the full suite of skills.
OMFG! His ability to control his speed acceleration body his balance on the ground and in the air INCREDIBLE!
00:12 look at how he posed with the ball that dunk is sick AF
when MJ sticks his tongue out its over for them
He was a freak athlete even more back then
1:40 - 1:44 yup
LAYUP PACKAGE 1000%BEAUTIFUL
I can literally hear the space jam song at the beginning of the movie playing in my head while watching this LOL 😂
@1:41…… sweet Christmas!!!! Look where he jumped from to where he landed!!!
He had olympic long jump technique...absolute insane athleticism.
There is a picture of MJ taking a jump shot and the defender was looking up, at his shoes. Awesome picture of example of his skills in 1984 Olympics.
Look at Jordan so inspirational
MJ the Best.
Michael Jordan, legend, respect 💪.
Coach Knight said MJ was the basketball player he had EVER seen play the game. Never mind the position, he can do it all!
That's also one of the main reasons I.Thomas hates Jordan til this day
@@berlingray8058 exactly
@@bigmike8564 Also the fact how Chicago embraced MJ as their own in little to no time and I.T. felt that he never got the same respect from the city like MJ did, plus he wanted to be drafted by the Bulls but instead got taken by the Pistons.
@@berlingray8058
My man! Finally I get a friendly reply from someone who actually has facts and knowledge about the greatest game ever, but also the greatest player ever!
Well done my brother
@@bigmike8564 It also proves that MJ was not the reason why IT was left off the team. MJ never hated Thomas enough to not play on a team with him, in the Summer of 1991(after the ECF walk off) they played in multiple summer charity games together and had excellent chemistry, also they played again together in the 1992 all star game (a year after the ECF 1991), again excellent chemistry and shared laughs. The real reason IT was left off the team was bc Magic & Bird did not want him there bc he was spreading rumors about Magic being gay bc of the HIV virus (Magic and IT were best friends up until 1992) and that Bird was only talked about as being one of the greats bc he was White. Mike didn’t like what he and the Pistons did in the ECF but he didn’t hate Thomas enough to not share a court or locker room with him. Magic & Bird might have been “old” in terms of NBA years but their names and opinions still held a lot of weight in the league, if they don’t want you on the team, you won’t be on the team. MJ was just the perfect scapegoat bc he was the headliner of the Olympics. Mike was too competitive to not want someone on the team. Barkley & Karl Malone also didn’t like him but it was I.T’s comments about Magic and Bird that kept him off the team, not MJ.
You can see how complete of a player he was even back then, and how hard he played. He’s all over the court with his hand in everything, and making it look so easy.
Amazing rare highlights. Thank you NBA for uploading
I think this is the moment Isaiah Thomas started being salty against Jordan 🤣🤣🤣
I was thinking the same thing! Lmao
He's the greatest player ever.
This video is so much joy bacause we will never see that again in the NBA!😘
Pure talent 🔥🔥🔥
Amazing. At that young age he's by far the best player on the court. Facing NBA stars nonetheless. This guy literally mastered basketball.
Most of the rookies in NBA are being carried by their seniors in their particular team. But look at Jordan destroying the best players in NBA in that era as his audition on joining NBA.
his athleticism was several layers above anyone on the pro squad
Blessings from Taiwan 🇹🇼😇🥰
Thank you for this vintage footage of MJ! 🥳🥰🤩
That dunk at 00:12 is insane....he never dribbled after he cradled the pass with one hand!
RAW MJ. Beating the NBA TOP 10 players. This game is more entertaining than the 2010's to present flavor of basketball.
I hope he had a great career playing in the NBA
did you hibernate or something? you didn't know who MJ was???
I hope so too he seems like an incredible talent
Damn I didn't know he played before they introduced the 3 pt. line
i wonder if the NBA adopted the three-point line at the start of the 1979-80 season. why there is no 3 point line on the court?
@@marsupan6561 Could've sworn they didn't until 1986
@@marsupan6561 The NBA added the three point line in 79-80, but these were not official NBA games. College and international games (and exhibitions like these) still had the old courts (FIBA added it in 84, but it wasn't used for the Olympics until 88).
@YALL NEED HELP seek help
I don't think college used it until '87
Imagine Portland execs watching the USA team after drafting Sam Bowie in June that year…
Michel jordan the King
Facts!! LeBron the GOAT!
@@yetbarekasrat-geez9211 michael is the real king
0:12 that dunk is fucking beautiful, goddamn.
Crazy good🤦🏾♂️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The GOAT! ✌🏽🔥🚀💯
I’m here because of KG interview. Just needed a reminder of the comparison to AE. 🎥
Jordan was more graceful than AE. He didnt even touch weights until he was ~25/26 yo . Its really unfair to compare anyone to Jordan. He was a once in a lifetime package. Mental strength, insane competiveness, fast twitch fibres, length, hand size, coordination.
IDC what anybody says. Any number Jordan wears, he owns it.
This time when nba players aren't allowed to join USA basketball team so the USA that time are meant to be bunch of amateurs, but able to beat the BEST players in a Professional league in 1984 era. No wonder bob knight already conclude him as the GOAT even before playing in NBA league. Respect! don't compare it to today's era, they revolutionized NBA and every moves you see today is because of the best plays in the past. And the achievement they got in 1984, is the same if that happened in today's era. Imagine a bunch of college students beating lebron, curry, durant, thompson, irving, westbrook, and etc. You will realize how big that achievement would be.
I heard Jordan's USA team beat the all-star 1984 nba team for 8 times so yeah they really just made nba looks feeble for stupid people today to think that nba back then are as weak as they are. Respect!
The Ref looks like an accountant streaking on the court 😂
Pure Talent
Mann! Jordan was just playing around with Them 🤣 lol Having Fun.
GOAT
i watched mj with a future hof center in pat ewing and i know if mj had one...ex ewing he wouldve won a ring day one...mj and ewing wouldve been great together...or hakeem
MJ was ready for NBA, already in MJ mode and MJ mood. Ko doubt, His Airness is forever the lord of the midrange shot.
1:28 he dunks directly without taking one step incredible athleticism!😍
The legendary
Queen lebronze took home bronze medals in 2004 and 06
Check please
I mean, I can touch the net on a good day. Beat that MJ
Show the game against the celtics
how is it possible for a college squad to beat an nba team with magic and zeke on it
It goes to show how MJ's class forged a new set of NBA standards that we have come to know and love
@@emptyskullify so we're just gonna ignore the fact that there were 2 other future HOFers on that team?
@@PoliticusRex632 Yeah i agree, but i also stand by the fact that the college team SMOKED the NBA team on a number of occasions
@@emptyskullify they were 8 different NBA teams. One was only Indiana University Alumni. Bird only played in one game, Magic only played in one game. One game Jordan was covered most of the night by Fred Carter, Chris Carter's brother. They were not All Star teams by any means. In the Indiana University Alumni game Patrick Ewing was being guarded by Ewe Blab.
@@emptyskullify can you imagine the backlash if an NBA player had played all out and injured one of the young Olympic players before the Olympics?
MJ before Nike, wearing Adidas Forum 84.
The nba players knew he was coming for them in the NBA
Wow amazing the Legend of GOAT putng ina galing talaga
The master.
0:23 he takes off outside the paint 😮
The old USA nba team was a beast
Look at Jordan man
He is maxed out launch day my career player.
And he would get a lot better. Frightening. And they beat the NBA team eight times. Eight straight times. And these were NBA all-stars. Next to the 1992 team, you argue this group of amateurs was the best ever.
Yes they are better because Jordan won the gold medal as a college player before the dream team
Fun fact: MJ never lost a single international game. Not once
In how long of a span did this happen?
@@jstdun During the time right before the 1984 Olympics.
2:52 he has 26 pts against the best NBA players!😁
Go see his stats he was routinely putting up big numbers on his first Olympic team
Love Jordan but it’s crazy that he stayed in college, had elite nba talent as a college freshman
he learnt fundamentals though....he learnt the foundation from great coaches
What was the roster becuase hes gotta be the only rookie to play better than all the vets in USA Olympic team history
Michael Jordan великий спортсмен и человек 👍👍
#JORDAN23FORLIFE!
Witness the greatness of the future king bron👑
MJ était, est, et sera LE joueur de basket de l'histoire!!!!!!!
Jerry Krause real GOAT
😍😍😍
art, nothing like him
Hair Jordan was real air Jordan.
Bobby Knight was right all the time
🙏🙏
3:50 Jupmed so high he has to do a “Drop shot”
0:15 = Announcer: "Will he sell some tickets in Chicago?!" / 2:18 = "He will sell some tickets!"
Truth: Sold them there, in other cities with an NBA team, and around the world.
I can't remember who exactly from the Bulls management said it but he said they were very thankful the NBA draft happened before the Olympics
🙌🏽
Michael
👍👍👍👍
Ae looking just like Jordan
2:57 look how high he gets on his jumper Jesus
Love the nba any tips to get in it
It's#BostonCelticsNation4Life Here
Who's here after Last Dance?
Derrick Rose Jordan= called pippen selfish
TheRealist 811 but it is the truth tho
TheRealist 811 exactly
40 years ago 😅
Some of his dunks in this video almost hit free throw dunk
Bruh I miss Kobe so bad men I cry evry night idk of anyone is like me
Get over yourself damn
I think after this game against the NBA players, Chuck Daly called him the greatest player he had ever seen play basketball which to him meant he was the best player ever. Off of a fucking exhibition before even stepping 1 second on an NBA floor.
Jordan had that wack old dude swag
hi
Sup
Mj is king
Benjamin Özer nope
Davod Hashimi who is king
Benjamin Özer kobe Bryant
Davod Hashimi LOL
Looks like the #1 option
Me and kobe are the goats
