I thank the Lord I grew up in Chicago in the 90s. Not only is Jordan the best ever, it’s inconceivable to me anyone ever passes him
100% this.
Agreed but keep in mind people said the same thing about Wilt, Magic and Bird
@@justinallen1092 It would take not only a special player but a complete change in NBA culture and a renaissance of love for basketball that I just don't see on the horizon.
Jordan was the best because he played against the best. The competitive drive in that era was insane. All of the big stars were focused on basketball and nothing else and it showed, and they pushed each other to heights they wouldn't have reached alone.
MJ is the 🐐
@@69_WICKED_96 💯💯💯
The tongue out came from his father. His father had the tongue out when he was concentrating on fixing things around the house
Yes!!! I got to see Jordan and Lebron. Where James is 6’ 9, MJ is 6’ 6 but played like a big man. He could at will dunk on anyone and did if the mood hit him. Several times watched the Bulls win because MJ took over. No disrespect to Lebron cause he is a great player but MJ is the GOAT!!
Lebron doesn’t belong in the top 15
@@mr.smithgnrsmith7808 stop lol. Im as big a Lebron hater as there is and thats just absurd. Hes an easy top 5.
In my opinion there is GOAT in every generation, and everybody has his own GOAT.
We cant say who is better Lebron or MJ because they never played against each other.
I know basketball because of MJ... and he will be my GOAT.... but there were kids growing with LeBron James and for them UNQUESTIONABLE he is the GOAT(and they will be right...for them)
I was alive to see Magic play for Michigan State and the Lakers. I got to see Jordan play the Pistons and I’ve seen LeBron. No one will ever touch MJ. He’s the greatest.
Jordan is the greatest I've ever seen. Ever.
As a Celtics fan, I feared/ hated MJ when he played against my team, but there’s no doubt he’s the GOAT.
I saw his 63 point playoff game against the Celtics on tv, and I’ll never forget the awe in Larry Bird’s face and voice when he said postgame “ That was just God disguised as Michael Jordan.”
Im from Rhode Island and i love the Celtics and the Bulls equally i seen the horrors of Red Sox Patriots Celtics and Bruins i was 5 years old where i could actually remember MJ i was a MJ from 1987-2003 but if he was to come back one more time i put my money the team he plays for every time. Michael Jordan is a one in a lifetime player. Kobe is probably the only player in NBA history to be Jordan 2.0 so comparing Lebron to Jordan is a joke because Lebron will never touch Jordan’s defense and offense he was a all round player could play every position even be a player coach. So to all the Lebron cult followers he is not the freaking goat
Jordan is the TRUTH! Here in Dallas I saw a couple of his games..He would figure LB out pretty quick and destroy him. His D was as good as there was too!
I HATED Jordan. But I have to admit he's the best ever.
I'm a diehard Knick fan, I hated Mike, He is a killer. Mike had killer instincts. Mike had heart. Talked smack and backed it up. There is no comparison. Mike put fear in nba players. Mike would say I'm scoring sixty and score sixty. People kill me with this debate, there is none. Mike is the G.O.AT HANDS DOWN. Mike would average 60 in today's game. LeBron get off Mikes jock. Please get your own number, make your own movie and stop trying to buy championships.
@@williamsegarra5758 True mate! I was on the other side back in the days as a diehard Bulls fan. People will talk s*it depreciating MJ's GOATness, just get used to and smile at them.
But as a diehard Lakers hater I must admit Kobe was the same shelf MJ is... So 2 GOATs apparently..
You should do a magic Johnson and also a Larry bird. Your mind will change about LeBron
@@williamsegarra5758 You know what I hate - people compare MJ to Kobe and Lebron - especially those that didn't live through the MJ era and immediately say that Kobe was the best or Lebron is the best.... here is fact.... Kobe and Lebron - they AINT doing anything new. They are just copying MJ's formula... they are copycats in my opinion. You have to do something different to become a true leader and GOAT... only person doing that in this era is Stephen Curry - this guy is doing something different - not copying MJ at all.
@@kabilenmullaithilaga3375 If you go back in time. Mike is doing Dr Jay. Jordan just took it to another level. Until Lebron will never get the respect from me because he jump around and had to get other superstar players to accomplish what he accomplish. It also took him 4 more years than MJ and he still does not have 6 rings.
I saw Michael play live, been a fan of his since 1984. He literally had no off nights until his Wizard days. He never lost 3 games in a row from 1991-1998. Every game was a highlight film.
lebron holds the records for a lot of stuff in game 7s in the playoffs, michael be like: "whats a game 7"
@@lorenzsabbaer7725 that's true bro, also, during Michael's entire 6 championship seasons he only missed 6 games total in that 6 year span, regular season and playoffs. Leflop load manages and last season missed 6 weeks due to a sprain
Facts.
I never saw him play in person but I thought I was the biggest nba fan as a kid growing up but when Jordan retired I couldn’t find a player I liked watching anymore. He was so exciting all the time I loved watching him. I can’t stay interested in a game today.
The fact is that MJ could do anything and everything. Don't talk sh*t about him and definitely don't to his face because he was going to not only prove you wrong but make you eat your words every time he saw you afterwards. He didn't give up and he never gave in. It wasn't in his nature to not give 210% when he was on the floor, not even having the flu for Game 5 against the Utah Jazz in '97 kept him from playing. It just kept him at maybe 150%, lol.
It was actually food poisoning but other than that you spoke 💯 percent facts.
OMG!!! I hate sports but even I ♥️♥️♥️ watching Jordan! HANG TIME!!! Made a beeline to have my pic next to his statue when I went to Chicago & had a standee of him in my college apt - never saw him in person but he was just so fun and inspirational for me throughout the 90’s! And who else (as if anyone is still reading this 😆) misses those Jordan/Bird McDonald’s ads?!!?
God, Im old...down the freeway, off the rafter, nothing but net.
@@chadparsons9954 Well now, after reading THAT, I think I’m in with love you! 😂 Just the fact that you remember that made my day! 😘
Nothing but net.
I was at MJ’s last game in Vancouver. 6 rows from the floor. The Grizzlies were up big time and some donkey from their team ran past the bench and said something to Michael as he’d checked out as it seemed to be a loss. MJ tapped Phil and said put me back in. 19 points in six minutes. It was absolutely insane. I was right there and still don’t know how he did it. Replays on the jumbotron in slow motion and you still couldn’t see how he did it. Today’s NBA players should be very happy they don’t have to compete against Michael. He would have decimated the league today. Thanks for your video!
Dude almost ALWAYS lived up to the hype. No bias, hands down Jordan is by far the best.
One thing you need to know. MJ had it written into his contract, that he could play anywhere he wanted outside of the stadium. He'd be driving to the game, and see some kids playing in one of Chicago's parks. He'd stop and play with them.
Coolness
The Love of the Game clause
He did live up to the hype! He was just so fun to watch -- like nobody else (including Lebron).
That's Byron Russell. Mike asked the media "is it Brian or Byron?" So Byron took offense and came back and asked, "is it Michael or Michelle?" That's what set off Mike hitting not just one but two game-winning shots in the finals over Byron Russell
Lol .. Yeah don't feel bad for Byron, I don't know why but he asked for that smoke! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
He also made the comment "Oh, we were going back to Utah" after the Bulls failed to close it out in game 5...and everyone knows what happened in game 6
It is Bryon. He'd always correct the media, when called Byron. Simple mistake because of its spelling.
Michael Jordan has over thousands of iconic moments im the games that he played, in all of basketball. From college, Olympics, and the NBA.
Just got back from watching Space Jam with my kids at their school and was remembering how amazing Jordan really was. I got to see him play live against the Jazz because they would give a free ticket to the youth basketball program teams and we happened to get the Bulls game. He was the GOAT, no questions, no doubts.
It is impossible to explain now because it was a completely different time. Just the feel and the attitude in the 90s is as different as the music from then is to what we have now. Basketball was everything. It wasn't just another show to watch. Lives were planned around being home for the game. We couldn't pull up youtube and watch highlights. EVERYONE gathered for those two hours and that was all we talked about the next day. Sports is so available now that people take it for granted.
90's Chicago Bulls are the greatest dynasty ever because of Michael Jordan, he was unstoppable.
jordan was the best ever his teams were not - la - boston and detroit of the 80s were all better than jordans teams of the 90s
@@rickjames4434 You still on cocaine Rick James? Jordan, Pippen and Rodman were pitbulls on defense. And on offense they had Black Jesus. I love my teams of the 80s, especially Lakers since I fell in love with them Magic's rookie season but them Bulls of 90s could beat anybody. Once Jordan disguised as God, even white Jesus wouldn't be able to revive them 80s squads like he did Lazarus.
@@katrinachavez3533 you need to get your facts right the pistons drafted rodman - detroit made rodman the player he was - he was asked who was the better team -he said detroit no contest - you take away rodman all the bulls were -was mj pippen and a bunch of role players - la boston and detroit were complete teams -
@@rickjames4434 Detroit made Rodman into a thug. Dennis was already a stud defender and rebounder in college. He was three-time NAIA All-American while he averaged 25.7 points and 15.7 rebounds per game. Pistons better? Only when Jordan was part of that cocaine circus and before he had his first All-Star teammate. Cause soon as Pip became an All-Star Detroit was as cooked as Jeffrey Dahmer victims. Pistons weren't bad boys, they were vaginal walls. And after Jordan pap smeared them (sweep), them coochies showed poor sportsmanship when they walked off like Cesar Chavez boycotts. You're right about one thing, Jordan was so good he didn't need all them hall-of-famers like Lakers and Boston. All he needed was Pip and a whole bunch of role players. And that's one of the many reasons he's Chupacabra - he who disembowels GOATs.
@@katrinachavez3533 Jordan was the reason the 96 Bulls are better than the 87 lakers or 86 Celtics. Supporting casts to Larry and Magic those years are better than MJ's supporting cast in 96. Then there's 89-91 Pistons, those 3 years Rodman and Dumars were both top 3 rated defensive players in the league. That team had a physical deep roster and they had Rodman at his faster defensive peak. Sure his rebounds and minutes became next level from 1991 onwards, but 1989-92 Rodman at Detroit was a menace. So I'd even argue that roster had better supporting cast than MJ's Bulls (every chip year except 1996 maybe)
No jokes RLR, the highlights are more like a sample size of what he did on most nights. He was magical w/the ball in his hands. I only got to see 1 NBA game live and it was one of the last years w/Rodman. We were beyond the nosebleed seats, you couldn't tell who was who; except MJ b/c he just stayed in the air longer, and Rodman b/c of his rainbow hair.
The only game I saw Jordan was the same thing. We actually brought binoculars XD.
What a suk stadium yall was at
@@erichvonmanstein6876 there is a reason the Bulls moved from it
@@tric5122 they didnt. They still play at the united center.
You said it was one of the last years with rodman. He came 95-96 the old chicago stadium closed in 94. Still a good story though just gotta change a few bits to make your lies match🤷
@@erichvonmanstein6876 huh it's only been going on 20+ years, hard to believe i might have missed which one i was at as they were a few years apart, but ya you go on being a douche, it suits you.
"At 6-foot-6, from North Carolina, His Royal Airness, Michael Joooordan." Does anybody remember those introductions?
YES!
This is not at all meant to be "cheesy" or exaggerated. Its simply the truth for me.
I was lucky enough to see Jordan play "in person" hundreds of times... through my TV in my living room growing up as a kid... THATS how AMAZING he was to watch. It always felt like we were actually THERE. Seriously. I think it went both ways, too. Jordan played with such passion, I think HE felt the millions of others watching and cheering for him that reached far, far, far beyond any arena.
He put on a show for EVERYBODY EVERYWHERE and very rarely disappointed
I saw Jordan play several times in person. I'm from Chicago. It was like you were watching someone from another world. Also, you would lose track of his points and then look up on the score board and see 40-55 points. There has never been anyone like him. We still can't wrap our brains around what we got to see.
One of the secrets of Jordon's success is that he had large hands, larger then the average B ball player. It allowed him to hold the ball with one hand and do things with it that the average player couldn't.
Yup Phil Jackson said that
I was lucky enough that my dad had season tickets for the Bulls, so I got to see MJ literally hundreds of times, and I can honestly say that the energy he brought every single game was incredible, that stadium was so loud when he came out, you couldn’t even hear yourself think, that was almost 30 years ago, and I still remember feeling the noise and vibration in my chest lol, it was truly a special experience
Im from Chicago but MJ is like a mythical character. So many times everyone knew he was gonna get the ball but couldn't stop him. He was the ultimate closer. He was the best offensive and defensive player on the court. He never quit and never gave up. When he got injured in a game he would come back in and play even harder. Not to mention nobody can dunk in traffic better than Mike. GOAT
Had season tickets to the Utah Jazz and he broke all our hearts when he beat us in the finale. He was an incredible. He was on the first on the original 1992 Dream Team for the US Olympics along with Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Charles Barkley, Karl Malone, John Stockton and Patrick Ewing. It was the first time active pro basketball players were on the team. That was Brian Russell on the Jazz. We lived by him. So many fun games... but Jordan was liked for his talent and also hated for it here.
Jordan is the best ever.
Jordan was unreal.
Saw him live 3 times. He was amazing. It's like being a baseball fan and saying you saw Babe Ruth or Hank Aaron in person.
I too saw him in person three times in that old LA Sports arena vs Clips. And the buzz in the joint is like nothing I have ever experienced. Closest thing I've seen is at the Tyson vs Spinks fight. Electricity in building was amazing. You knew you were going to see something spectacular by either Mike.
I saw MJ play around 1992. He was everything that people said he was. THE GOAT!!
Seen Jordan play Five times growing up he always put on a show he is definitely the goat
I’ve seen MJ live and this man was spectacular and he had you on pins and needles everytime he had the ball. You didn’t know what he was going to do, but whatever he did it was very exciting. The man filled every Arena he played in Home or Away . Nobody could guard or stop him.it didn’t matter. The League should have paid this man. He got the Tongue waging from his Father. Every play was iconic.
Dominique vs Jordan 1 & 3 were the best dunk contests ever. Hands down the most iconic Jordan play ever is the dunk he did that s captured on his Air Jordan logo.
Jordan is the GOAT without question....But Dominique was robbed in the 1988 dunk contest and was the better dunker overall IMPO.
@@jgc792infinitee6 I agree. I think that was Dominique's best dunking contest ever and he should have won. It was only given to Jordan because it was in Chicago.
@@RR64434 Had it been in Atlanta or anywhere else for that matter, Nique would have been the slam dunk champion.
I saw Jordan play live in 96 the year they won 72 games. He was a god and put up an easy 46 points game was 1/15/96 he played the Washington Bullets that game the highlights is on RUclips for reference 💯
The best record ever if you add playoffs games.
@@GabrielTF106B Facts
Jordan is the 🐐 He played when taking the ball to the hoop was hack city. These days it’s powerpuff girl stuff.
Today's NBA is soft as ultra-plush Tempurpedic pillow fights by Playboy bunnies at Hugh Hefner's mansion.
@@katrinachavez3533 ROFL so true
Met him once, actually photographed that game. It was beyond surreal, I couldn't believe I was in the same arena with him. The (without any doubt), most famous person in the entire world!!!
My biggest thing about MJ is I felt like even on a off night you always felt like he played his heart out and could pull off a miracle
I got see him in person many times, and he was everything you see here. I also got to meet him his second year in the league. He was the closest athlete to Ali there ever was. The tongue out was from watching his father work.
Yes Sir!!! I watched him every time he played on the Westcoast and I'm a Lakers fan! Magical!!!
To answer your question, yes I saw Jordan live. When him and Pip smelled blood in the water, like sharks in a feeding frenzy. They would put Magic's "showtime" to shame.
The Michael Jordan Dominique Dunk Contest was the best I ever Saw.
Mike was Mike every game. He played all out on both sides of the ball. I saw him from UNC to the NBA. You were never disappointed unless u didn't watch because he was on sports center every game. I saw him play in person in the season they won 72 games against the Hawks.
The tongue out, got from his dad. You just started watching a very small amount of his skills and will to win at all cost, against the most physically skilled players in the hardest era of basketball. And Michael Jordan was beyond all players before him, during his time, and even now and beyond his time. No other players including today's players even come close to his skills levels. Which you will soon discover, on defense and offense, and leadership, and clutch time, his heart, and will to win is unmatched by all. In other words second to none, which is number one all times greatest of all times, greatest basketball player ever.
you gotta check out MJ's historic bulls mixtape. it's by far his best highlight video on youtube
YEEEEESS!!!
I saw Jordan in college at Carolina and Everytime he touched the ball you could feel the electricity in the air. You knew you were going to see something special
I remember watching the 98 Finals live. And that specific play live... It was unreal...
Dude, watching Jordan play live was like watching a master piece being done. It was perfection in the making.
I saw The Bulls play Utah Jazz. And yes, it was thrilling to watch. Next morning rode the elevator down with Scotti and Dennis. Didn’t know we were staying in the same hotel.
michael jordan is the greatest
Without question, Michael Jordan is the GOAT 🐐 and the tongue came from his dad.
I was fortunate to see MJ in person a few times. He is the goat!
Michael Jordan was the first player to wear
“ baggy pants”
The standard length for basketball shorts today is due to Michael Jordan.
Often overlooked Jordan affect
then the Fab Five took it up a notch... hahaha
@@Boss3Nate yes! Jordan wore them first, but the Fab five are the ones that made the style popular
@@jabreck1934 no! Mj made it pop. Ask anyone on that Michigan team
They tryin tu go back tu the 80's with the shorts now lml. Well sum players.
Effect*
I saw him in person regular season. Electric beyond anything I have seen short of final game seven. Next level dominance. Anyone who saw Jordan knows that there is no question he is the goat
Jordan was all clutch!
Jordan is BY FAR the GOAT. It's not even Close.
Besides being the GOAT, he was also the most Entertaining Player of All Time!!!! That man put on a show EVERY game!!!! He said he felt the need to, because he said he knew that for many people, it would be their only game they could ever see him live.
As the Great Magic Johnson said: "There is Michael Jordan, and then there's the rest of us".
See this is the thing...those of us who watched MJ knew we were seeing something never seen before just like you Lebron guys are now seeing something that you've never seen in Lebron, but here's the rub Jordan was better Period. Jordan never backed down and always always..one more time ALWAYS!!! rose up to the challenge. He never took a night off, he never used gimmicks to get a call, and never sought out the best talent to play with to get his legacy he was such a tremendous talent he just didn't need as much help as some other legends have. Last thing if it wasn't for videos you young guys would have never believed the stories about Jordan that we would have been telling you. Peace
I've seen Michael play in his prime & I've seen LeBron play in his prime...This shouldn't even be a discussion...Michael Jordan is the G.O.A.T...PERIOD!!!
Most people will remember MJ for his offense, but he had it all. Elite defense, passing ability, body control, leadership ability, and above all else, the physical NEED to be the best in all aspects of the game.
jordan GOAT, baggie shorts where everyone else was smuggling grapes, wrist band was on for arm, low socks,
I live in Chicago and seen him play so many times.. I met him on meet and greet days.. Dude was awesome
Jordan's competitiveness was on another level. He took everything personal which drove him every night. No one was scoring more or defended better than him and if they did for one lucky night, he damn sure made sure the next time he saw them or played again he'd raise hell. If you talk smack to him, he's coming for your throat and more, the dude was just an animal. And as he developed over the years, his mid-range shot was the best ever. Lucky to have watched MJ (the GOAT) play every weekend in the best era of BBall.
Great video, love that you keep such an open mind and just appreciate what you’re watching. These highlights don’t tell the story tho, what made Jordan great wasn’t really showcased here. I recommend you watch “Jordan vs Lebron-The Best GOAT Comparison”. It really breaks things down and shows how truly dominate Jordan was. It’s eye opening.
I saw MJ in person 3 times. Twice in Madison square garden and once vs the nets. Absolutely lived up to the hype.
Got to see him in Chicago. 6th row center court and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. He was simply the greatest athlete of all time so he was always on top of his game. The GOAT!
I am green with envy!
My friend, I respect your vids.
Please remember that Jordan was doing these plays when defense was way more brutal.
He was posterizing legends. You would’ve love the game if you see it back in the day.
Mike was unreal in person he made shots that nobody could make and will game time you every chance he got .
Those highlights that you were watching....it was like that every night he played.. EVERY. DAMN. NIGHT! and it was glorious!
I got to see Jordan in his rookie year. Videos don't do justice. He was awesome every night
I saw him in person and he lived up to the hype.
When MJ said "I'm back" it changed the world. I was 13 and I was excited to watch basketball again... changed my life bruh
When I think of him I think of that free throw line slammed dunk the Air Jordan logo and over and over he took the game winning shot clutch and made it
I’m soooo grateful to have seen MJs career
Growing up with 2nd row center court bulls tix in my family really shaped my entire childhood. Seeing MJ beat Nique in dunk contest, I dont care what anyone says MJ won, was one of the best experiences of my childhood. My grandfather was OG season tix holder since 1967 and golfing to games with him was incredible. Everyone including some refs knew him and would say hello. I had never seen anything like MJ live. I basically thought of him as a superhero till i was a teenager cause he always came through. Def went to games they lost but can’t EVER think of a game MJ let me down in. Favorite game was 1991 finals game 2 when he couldnt miss and bulls blew out Magic and the lakers. Loved Magic too and in 1991 it was like is Mike really better? After that finals, really that game, you knew Mike was better. There really was nothing like the old Chicago stadiums for a bulls game in early 90s. The excitement of the crowd and how they fed off MJ who then fed off them was just amazing. Some of my best childhood memories were going to bulls games and just the pure joy MJ brought to especially my grandfather, who was the biggest bball ive maybe ever known as he went to 30-40 games a year for 30 years! Grandma wasnt so bad either as she went with him for most. Sorry kinda rambled as i could talk on and on about this.
every game was incredible highlights 👑🌱✨🌿
I was blessed to see Jordan & Lebron play in their prime. Both completely lived up to their reputation. Michael was memorizing to watch. LeBron was a complete beast. Micheal is the greatest player I've ever seen.
I saw him in person once in the early 90's in Washington D.C. v. the then Bullets. It was electric. The energy with him around on the court and in the stands was noticeably elevated.
I grew up watching Jordan and I HATED THE BULLS but we watched in aww not only did he dominate the entire the league he dominated his entire era start to finish. Labron and a few others no question were great but Jordan was on another level of greatness
I dont think any of the ‘new generation’ will really appreciate how good MJ was. I could say without MJ, there would be no Lebron or Kobe, he changed the game completely.
I was blessed to see Jordan play, live in Chicago. It was 95' - the year he came back. He was rocking the 45 at the time and the United Center was handing out free posters to everyone who came in with MJ in 45. Wish i still had those as they'd probably be worth something today.
It was so hard to get tickets at that time we were really lucky my uncle managed to get 3. We were WAY UP in the rafters, so it was kinda hard to really see much on the court, but the experience was nonetheless amazing for me and my 2 older cousins!
I was 13. I'm 40 now, so memory has faded some. Can't really recall exactly who they were playing, but i think (maybe) it was Milwaukee.
The experience was incredible. The main problem with these highlight videos is it seems like this stuff was done only sometimes, when in reality it was night in amd night out...right though every game of the entire season and the playoffs.
I grew up in Chicago in the 90s. Watching Jordan was must-see TV. I mean literally everyone would be glued to their TVs watching him. At the height of the Bulls run, it was near impossible to get tickets. It's like trying to get superbowl tickets but almost every single game. Everything but nosebleed seats would be expensive to get
If memory serves 1986.. watching Spud Webb fly through the air was pretty amazing
MJ's will, determination, hand/eye coordination, his athleticism, his physical/mental IQ relationship is what makes him the most complete basketball I've ever seen. So far, he's the GOAT. No disrespect to all the other greats.
Dude, seeing Jordan live was crazy. Lebron and Kobe are amazing, but Jordan was a real life video game character, just beasting on everyone. No one has had the mastery that he had. He made the circus shot a part of his regular game, and he would constantly do things that you didn't think were possible. Somewhere on RUclips, he has a highlight video of back-to-the-basket foul lay-ups that he makes, where he throws the ball behind is head. He also has 7 of the top 10 playoff series scoring averages of all time alone. Not Kobe, Lebron, or even Wilt appears on this list once. There will never be another Jordan.
Saw him in an away game while my city still had a team. We were up by like 8 with a few mins left. Jordan was on the bench, and one of our players said something to him. He came back on the court, and then proceeded to dismantle us.
Jordan got the tongue thing from his father when his father used to work on cars. This was in the first MJ VHS video “Come Fly With Me”
Jordan's tongue thing is a Jordan thing, meaning he got it from his dad, who would stick his tongue out when working hard or concentrating on something. At least that's what his late father James claimed in an interview.
Yes MJ lived up to the hype. Every night he came out and played like it was his last game. Every game we were on the edge of our seats. Mike said he did it because there were people there that would never see him play again and they had never seen him play before. It was their one Michael Jordan experience. He wanted us all to love the game the way he did. A true trendsetter
MJ will forever be the GOAT, hands down!!!
Jordan v Wilkins we’re epic dunk contests
I remember watching jordan playing for UNC tarheels when i was a kid. Jordan will always be the GOAT
He was everything and some
I saw Jordan annihilate the Knicks on several occasions at the Garden. I saw his first game ever at MSG in a preseason game from the second row behind the basket (they were practically giving away Knicks tickets in 1984). Even in that first game I remember thinking that there was just something different about his athleticism. These highlight reels give only a taste of how dominant Jordan really was on both ends of the court. He led the league several times in steals and would routinely shut down the other teams best player while scoring 40+ himself. None of the all-time great players of that time - Bird, Magic etc... - had any doubt that he was the best player to ever step on an NBA court and I still think that's true, with all due respect to LeBron who is an all-time great for sure.
I was there in Chicago from 1991-8 to see the Jordan Era. I lived right off of 55th Garfield in Chicago and Bulls used to celebrate the championship in Grant Park on Michigan Avenue. The first chip they won, everybody tore up Downtown Chicago. This was way before cellphones were out. Most of us would use an outside pay phone back in 1991. I seen him at the United Center play the Cavs and he was really that dope on the court. When Bulls won, you could hear ppl in their cars blowing their horns loud as if someone got married. The tongue signature was from his daddy that was tragically killed.
... 😆 ... Our host looked confused when he dunked on Ewing... 🤣
The thing about MJ. Most of his "off nights" were most other players "good nights". Not to mention he was a beast on defense too. He's one of the greatest defensive players ever, on top of being the greatest offensive player ever.
You could make a highlight tape out of every game Jordan played. He’d NEVER dream of giving up on defense, flopping or complaining. They’d constantly foul him hard and many never got called, he never complained.
I’ve watched MJ live. He’s always said he always tries to play his best because he knows someone in the arena hasn’t seen him play. He definitely lived up to his reputation.
The tongue thing actually came from his dad. His dad would do that when he was hard at work and MJ picked it up from his dad.
