Epitome of excellence and a competitor, AND defying gravity. He wanted to beat the opponents, disease, and even natural forces at their best.

That’s why the only argument they have for the LeBron is “he was the best player of the league for a longer period of time.” Michael Jordan was more dominant relative to his era and accomplished way more in a much shorter time frame. The fact that his 13 seasons with the Bulls is comparable to other people’s 20 seasons is unparalleled.
@@Kimeikus Lebron is better than Jordan. He does everything better than Jordan as a individual player. Please don't ever talk about Basketball ever again.
These moments make me feel like I'm in my teens. Happy birthday, Mike! Kids, this is one of the best MJ compilations available on the internet. We had the privilege to see most of these in real-time back then, enjoy!
Growing up in Chicago, I watched MJ from the very beginning ... we all knew we were witnessing an absolute LEGEND. Greatest athlete of all time and the epitome of a WINNER.
He is not the greatest athlete of all time but he is definitely the epitome of a winner. Got it done at the highest level. No one can take that away from him.
I grew up a die hard Lakers fan. Watching Michael just destroy everyone was something special. There was no room or time to hate him because he was just so magical, and you knew you were watching something great that may never be replicated again.
I appreciate your comment a lot. That's the thing about Jordan. Even fans of opposing teams still admired him. There were a lot more like you back in that day.
there isnt a hooper alive who doesnt owe something - whether a move, their style, their love of the game - to this man. he is to the game what BB King is to guitar. sure everyone can imitate their greatest moves these days, but only one did it FIRST. respect to the King but this is the GOAT.
Many people say that Federer was the best, but when he played vs Nadal he played 100% and we knew that he will be beaten. When Jordan played people knew that he is special and had that killer mindset. So we all know what could happen if Jordan would play vs Lebron. Jordan was beaten in the eighties many times but we all know who is the best.
Grew up watching Jordan because of my uncle and his old tapes, he's the player who got me interested in basketball and I've still yet to see a player as good as him. Happy 60th birthday to my personal GOAT.
The reason why teenagers today don't think that MJ is the goat is because they don't take the time to understand and see what the true meaning of greatness is
What stands out to me is his insane body control. Everything he does is fluid and controlled and done with finesse. He makes it look effortless. Closest thing you'll see to ballet in a sport.
"I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." ― Michael Jordan

I seen Michael Jordan play the Celtics in person in Boston. Even though you're rooting for your team to kick his ass you couldn't help but be in awe of the guy. He was truly amazing
Remember: this can never be taken away from us…no phony arguments, no hit-pieces, no besmirching of a once in a lifetime legacy…this will stand the test of time for us real basketball fans! Happy birthday, Mike!
Naw, you forgot something.. He also led the League in Steals, and was the All-Star Game MVP in that same season.. So all that in one season… Ain’t no one coming close to that
Also led the league in steals, All Star Game MVP, Dunk champ, First Team All NBA and All Defensive First Team…though missing Finals MVP - still heck of a season by an individual. Like who’s gonna be the next to pull this off, and add with a Finals MVP?
Happy Birthday GOAT! Thanks to NBA for these 60 career plays of MJ but we all know there's more so we wish more birthdays for the GOAT so that NBA can add more plays.
He made the game easy in an era that was significantly more difficult than one that you guys play in now. He averaged about 30ppg his career but if he played now he'd average a little over forty I believe. The highlights are amazing but you just had to watch him when he actually played to truly know. And I don't think that the younger generation gets that
So glad I had the privilege to watch Mike's grace and competivness in the NBA in the 90's. This man was a ballerina with a slam dunk at the end! The acrobatics with a ball are the best still shots till this day! GOAT!
What Jordan was doing back then was so above everyone else that it made him seem like he was on another level that didn't even exist yet, other wordly. Being a kid watching it, it blew my mind. My entire family who didn't watch sports would all sit in awe of what he was doing, It was a spectacular event. He made me fall in love with basketball. He set the standard and blueprint for how basketball looks today. It's insane that after all these years his highlight reel is still mind blowing. It's not just the fact that he has 6 chips, but also because he still looks like the best basketball player even for today's standards. I think in 40 years his highlight reel will still be better than anyone else's. Poetry in motion, a true champion.
@@gzk13kc28 nah bro don't force this type of shit to people. They can be a fan of anyone and be basketball fans until they don't start to disrespect others
This is the best video I've seen of his highlights. No stupid music, multiple slow mo replays and the announcers audio left in, really captures the essence of the moment and how powerful the plays are. Fantastic video.
Brought Tears to my eyes The NBA will NEVER be the SAME I WITNESSED ALL of these moments live rewatching these open flood gates of tears and childhood memories of hoop dreams and the greatest player and sports figure ever everyone wanted to be like this man EVERYONE WHO PLAYED THE GAME AND WITNESSED THIS KNOWS THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER THE ONE AND ONLY Micheal Jordan just unbelievable 😢 to witness this growing up
I’ll never see another basketball player like MJ again in my life. That really was a unique time in history for basketball and the NBA. I don’t understand the MJ vs LeBron debate? LeBron is a great basketball player but MJ left you in awe after every single game.
This is the beauty of this game, simply no one will ever play this kind of basketball. Shots from all positions, jumps, penetrations, dunks, speed, finding a solution under the foul... and the ball seems to be a part of his hand. Thank you MJ for all the beautiful basketball moments and enjoyment. The best of all time.🏀🏆
Right la choke has never made a buzzard shot to win. He has choked more times on those shots. His foul shots suck. Take his dunk and he's not even mediocre
Watching Jordan was an event everyone around the country set their tv to watch him I never once went out of my way to watch LeBron. MJ is the GOAT no question
His airness. Michael jordan is the definition of basketball. No travel, No flop, No euro step, No step back. Super athletic. Physical play. No blood No foul💯💯💯
MJ is just a different breed. You can hear everyone in the stadium just go crazy when he makes a play. Even the commentators are having so much fun and excitement from watching him play. Really tells a story on how good he is compared to the modern NBA.
that is why when your are watching in the 90s, you were watching the present and the future of basketball and MJ is the epitome of a great basketball player
Incredible talent, supreme athletic ability, insane work ethic, mastery of fundamentals, fierce competitive drive, extremely clutch, etc...6 NBA championships, 6 finals MVPs, 5 regular season MVPs, 10-time scoring champ (10 full seasons in a row, by the way), 9-time All-Defensive team.... MJ is unquestionably the GOAT. I remember about everyone of those 60 plays they picked..
He's got as strong a case as anybody as the greatest. Maybe Wilt as well. What might put Jordan over the top is the pure excitement and entertainment value.
Over here watching these highlights in 2024 and still amazed! I grew up watching MJ so I knew what to expect, but these plays with the hang time, good gravy. Sorry LeBron fans, MJ is forever the GOAT!
@Robertedwinhouse38 this dude knows nothing LeBron also played 400+ more games then MJ too and Air Jordan still the goat #1 player Jordan don't pass when the games on the line or flop or cry to be a goat it takes more than just Ballin LeBron is Magic Johnson more then any player LeBron has hops magic didn't

I just don't get how on earth, some people say that there's someone in history of basketball better than this guy. The plays, the aesthetics, the drama, the clutch, the championships, the fierce and competitiveness... just unparalleled.
It’s because they didn’t ACTUAL watch him play live. They think we think he’s the greatest because of his highlights. Once you watch him live you’ll see there NO ONE that even come close to beating MJ.
@@erfansvideos Not true, I just had a little discussion with a guy who's 48, and thinks LBJ is better and that it's not even close. Said that a Lebron top 60 would be much better than this one.... Well....what can you say? Maybe he thinks MJ's too much of an ego which he doesn't like or something....
@@sandervandenberg977 Go back to that guy and tell him he knows NOTHING about basketball or the NBA OR you can tell him to go ask over 75% of pro NBA players who they think is better and he’ll get the same answer. There’s no one better when MJ is on the court. Lebron is only in the discussion of the goat because of his “stats” against really no competition. The real competitors were in the 90s and MJ blew all of them away. He just a salty MJ hater..there’s a lot them around.
My idol! We were so lucky to watch their games in the 80's to 90's. Even now I'm still in awe of what this man did on the court night in, night out. Happy birthday G O A T!
Crazy that the Bulls were DOWN 85-86 to the Jazz with 17 seconds left in the Finals, and instead of going for a quick bucket Jordan chose to run the clock down before taking his “last shot”. True confidence.
A quick basket would have just meant that the Jazz had more time to shoot the last shot. It's normal for every NBA team to hold the ball to have the last shot or the last good shot of the game in that situation.
@@zimbu_ Sorry, but your are incorrect. Most teams would drain the clock to take the last shot IF IT WAS TIED OR THEY HAD THE LEAD. Rarely do you ever see teams drain the clock to take the last shot when they are behind.
jordan is playing with plumbers bro, the league was a million times easier in the 80s-90s than it is in the 2010-20s and theres rulebook changes, statistics, and plenty of data to prove the game as a whole has exponentially increased in difficulty, as well as average player skill has increased overall by a shit ton.
@@jaemez3247I’m sorry but you’re a dumbass if you think the league was harder back than to now. Why tf do you think curry reign formed a dynasty. No one at that time could stop him cuz his style literally changed basketball. Plus most of the stuff Jordan is doing here you could see at a local gym😂
One word to describe MJ’s game: Graceful Him running in transition was so fluid and even when he absolutely bodies someone on a dunk, he straight up glides in the air.
All this greatness passed the test of time. 60 years of age, and still is the benchmark of greatness. Clearly, he is on a league of his own.. bar none.
I will forever be grateful 🙏 I was blessed having the opportunity to grow up watching this man play basketball, he was nothing less than poetry in motion. Easily the all time GOAT of the NBA.
It’s so uniquely extraordinary now looking back from when there were People from all around the World that literally Gravitated this man, the same way he DEFIED Gravity on the Basketball court with his incredible airiness. MJ23 will never be replicated again!🐐
He won’t be replicated but there’s players better then him. Lebron, Hakeem, embiid, jokic, Giannis, kd. Prolly more too. Jordan played in an era where you couldn’t play certain defensive styles, the players were absolutely dog shit besides the stars of the big teams. Now imagine Jordan going up against kd a 7 footer who can dribble shoot and play like an assassin. Imagine Jordan playing against embiid a 7 footer who can do everything and jokic a playmaking center which is like magic Johnson if he was better. Also Giannis would average 100 points in his era. And he left right before the rockets got really good and he knew his ass wouldn’t beat them.
In a lot of these clips there is actually good if not great defense played on mj and he just gets around it and scores anyway. U cant say that all the players were dog shit if there are people out in games playing mad defense of the goat and still getting blown past and scored on. Thats the magic about him. He could score in basically any situation
Nobody drove to the paint over and over again like MJ. Day in day out. Kobe was the closest to MJ. It was soooooooo much fun watching him play. He would annihilate the NBA today. 50 ppg no problem. GOAT GOAT GOAT. There will never be anyone like him again. Today they play for fame and $$$. MJ played for love and greatness. Money was a bonus. Back then players weren't making millions and millions a year. He started that trend.
I don't agree with the today's game, you got guys like kawhi and giannis and even sometimes Anthony Davis. Imo idk why people say defense was better back in the day it really looks like guys were standing up straight to guard him they didn't even try. Maybe it's because they knew they couldn't stop it but the effort to me doesn't look like today's game
@@robertmartin8603 Today's game emphasizes the 3. Back then it was all about mid range game. You are going to have a man or a hand in your face every time you shoot anything less then a 3. Also no more hand checking in todays game....and tons of flopping. Contesting players at the rim is rare as well. The NBA made rule changes to speed the game up and promote more scoring to sell the game overseas....at the cost of the defensive portion of the game. Out of all the guys who listed only Giannis plays similar to someone back then.
Nah in todays NBA, LeBron is probably the person you're talking about. LeBron and MJ are def top 2, even if you think one is better than the other, you have to still, at the end of the day admire both.
53 seconds into this video where MJ catches the ball from going out of bounds was a spectaular thing to see. Not only did he catch the ball with one hand but he briefly palm gripped the ball at the same time. MJ truly was built for the game of basketball. He made it seem like it was a tennis ball he was catching🐐
This is the best highlight reel of Jordan I've ever seen put together. There's a bit of all the things he did on a regular basis -- the freakish ability to easily catch the ball with one hand, the complete terror he was on the fast break, the speed, the agility, the other-worldly body control in the air, the never-ending array of highlight-reel reverse layups, the explosive first step blowing by everyone in the league, the steals, crashing down on players to block shots from behind, finishing over 3+ defenders in the lane, the mid-range game, and of course, the dunks -- and he dunked on everyone, including the most elite rim-protectors: Dikembe Mutumbo (4-time Defensive Player of the Year), Alonzo Mourning (2-time Defensive Player of the Year), and on and on. And look at how much higher his hand is over the rim than the centers he keeps dunking on in the video. It was truly unreal. It's hard to convey how much he seemed at the time to be not-human, like he came from another planet. He was just that much better than everybody, essentially at everything. He was named MVP 5 times, but in truth he was the best player in the league many more years than that.
The thing people don't understand or have forgotten about Jordan is you could just as easily make a top 1000 plays and they would all look like this. his whole game was a highlight.
I'm so... satisfied that I grew up in an Era when I could watch this on live TV all the time (and I did). I got to see Michael Jordan play live several times. Incredible experience. No one else like him. Never will be.
His form in 58 was perfect. I think this is a very underrated play. How he steals it, launches and beats the buzzer without it looking awkward from that deep doesn’t stop amazing me. Especially in this day and age where shots from that range are common, they always look ugly and forced, they always loose form. MJ apart from everything else was beautiful to watch, an artist, a master at work. Discussion has to be for second place, everybody is miles away from this alien, distance is just to big, nobody comes close
The NBA needs to release every season that MJ played. I’d watch every game.
Man, if only
Particularly his 80s seasons, I hear like 70% of those games are buried. We don't get nearly enough of him in the 88-89 season and that was arguably him at his peak or very close to it
@@GoGetYourShinebox Right. They should release it season by season. But I definitely couldn’t wait to get to 88-89!!

There's no way a SG doing things like MJ back in the day. GOAT every single time, every single day.
there isnt a hooper alive who doesnt owe something - whether a move, their style, their love of the game - to this man. he is to the game what BB King is to guitar. sure everyone can imitate their greatest moves these days, but only one did it FIRST. respect to the King but this is the GOAT.
Many people say that Federer was the best, but when he played vs Nadal he played 100% and we knew that he will be beaten. When Jordan played people knew that he is special and had that killer mindset. So we all know what could happen if Jordan would play vs Lebron. Jordan was beaten in the eighties many times but we all know who is the best.
Grew up watching Jordan because of my uncle and his old tapes, he's the player who got me interested in basketball and I've still yet to see a player as good as him. Happy 60th birthday to my personal GOAT.
we NOT done with the 90s
WE ARE NOT DONE WITH THE FUCKING 90S, IM PROB THE ONLY TEEN (13) WHO THINKS MJ IS THE GOAT, AND ITS NOT EVEN A DEBATE
@@finsforthewin18Im 15 and i think he is the goat too
The reason why teenagers today don't think that MJ is the goat is because they don't take the time to understand and see what the true meaning of greatness is
They don't know the fear that Jordan caused the players in the 90s
@@berserkid8421 Finally, a reasonable teen
Happy 60th the one who defined an entire era & helped launched basketball to the global phenomenon it is today.
MJ the greatest to ever do it.
What stands out to me is his insane body control. Everything he does is fluid and controlled and done with finesse. He makes it look effortless. Closest thing you'll see to ballet in a sport.
Agreed. Poetry in motion.
fr dude got that Westbrook athletics, Kyrie craftiness on finishing while being more fluid than those guys and being elite on defense lol and IQ!
Jordan and Roger Federer and Jerry Rice and Wayne Gretzky..
Closest thing to a cat
And the fact that he did that every damn game, even the all star games. To be able to play at that level and intensity nonstop was a physical feat.
"I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." ― Michael Jordan

Absolutely beautiful to watch. The real GOAT at work. Thank you Michael for giving and inspiring millions to play and live the game of basketball.
I honestly had forgotten how unbelievable MJ was.
I’ve never forgotten on how great the goat was
Not me lmaao
I haven’t
Be careful what you say. MJ will probably take it personally.
shame on you! lol
it's unbelievable the way he viciously dunking on those big men. The man had no fear, a cold blooded killer! Happy Birthday True GOAT!
Half the guys he dunked on in this video admitted defeat in mid-air lmao
I seen Michael Jordan play the Celtics in person in Boston. Even though you're rooting for your team to kick his ass you couldn't help but be in awe of the guy. He was truly amazing
Happy 60th Birthday to THE LEGEND, HIS AIRNESS, THE GOAT, Michael Jordan! 🐐🏀👑
Remember: this can never be taken away from us…no phony arguments, no hit-pieces, no besmirching of a once in a lifetime legacy…this will stand the test of time for us real basketball fans! Happy birthday, Mike!

You can say he’s not the goat but his play style is definitely the most fun to watch. Few players have as great of highlights as MJ
Happy Birthday GOAT! Thanks to NBA for these 60 career plays of MJ but we all know there's more so we wish more birthdays for the GOAT so that NBA can add more plays.
A lot of poster dunks in this video. And i notice almost every play he was heavily guarded while on air. Truly spectacular! Happy birthday GOAT!
After all these years, and I watched all these live when I was a kid, I still get chills! Mike was brutally smooth
Agreed
He made the game easy in an era that was significantly more difficult than one that you guys play in now. He averaged about 30ppg his career but if he played now he'd average a little over forty I believe. The highlights are amazing but you just had to watch him when he actually played to truly know. And I don't think that the younger generation gets that

So glad I had the privilege to watch Mike's grace and competivness in the NBA in the 90's. This man was a ballerina with a slam dunk at the end! The acrobatics with a ball are the best still shots till this day! GOAT!
What Jordan was doing back then was so above everyone else that it made him seem like he was on another level that didn't even exist yet, other wordly. Being a kid watching it, it blew my mind. My entire family who didn't watch sports would all sit in awe of what he was doing, It was a spectacular event. He made me fall in love with basketball. He set the standard and blueprint for how basketball looks today. It's insane that after all these years his highlight reel is still mind blowing. It's not just the fact that he has 6 chips, but also because he still looks like the best basketball player even for today's standards. I think in 40 years his highlight reel will still be better than anyone else's. Poetry in motion, a true champion.
So true💯
Absolutely 💯 🐐
No traveling, no gather steps, no flopping, no complaining, no carrying, hard defense = the GOAT
Man, those "gather step" egregious travelling moves like Harden's in the Houston years are so annoying.
I mean there were definitely gathers
Good points but without points.
MJ makes BB worth watching --- can fall asleep watching BronBron - MJ is the real deal!
Gather steps are literally part of the game lol. You pick the ball up as you step, then 2 steps.
Happy Birthday MJ. The Goat and a killer on the court. No excuses, always played hard.
No argument,there can only be one ! GOAT !

5:35..... have you ever in your life seen anyone in NBA rebound a foul shot and slam it and Jordan did this multiple times....
This is the best video I've seen of his highlights. No stupid music, multiple slow mo replays and the announcers audio left in, really captures the essence of the moment and how powerful the plays are. Fantastic video.
I mean no one else was able to do it. The NBA has all the source material and footage, and could release an upscaled version like this one.
I downloaded it. It's really the best quality video summary of why he was so special
U got it man. Hahaha
If only there displayed a scoreboard
I saw that live play of Michael Jordan shrugging his shoulders. Unforgettable, unrepeatable and unstoppable.
Brought Tears to my eyes
The NBA will NEVER be the SAME
I WITNESSED ALL of these moments live
rewatching these open flood gates of tears and childhood memories of hoop dreams and the greatest player and sports figure ever everyone wanted to be like this man EVERYONE WHO PLAYED THE GAME AND WITNESSED THIS KNOWS THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER THE ONE AND ONLY Micheal Jordan just unbelievable 😢 to witness this growing up
I’ll never see another basketball player like MJ again in my life.
That really was a unique time in history for basketball and the NBA. I don’t understand the MJ vs LeBron debate? LeBron is a great basketball player but MJ left you in awe after every single game.
Yeah MJ would absolutely smoke leflop.
This is the beauty of this game, simply no one will ever play this kind of basketball. Shots from all positions, jumps, penetrations, dunks, speed, finding a solution under the foul... and the ball seems to be a part of his hand. Thank you MJ for all the beautiful basketball moments and enjoyment. The best of all time.🏀🏆
Right la choke has never made a buzzard shot to win. He has choked more times on those shots. His foul shots suck. Take his dunk and he's not even mediocre
fr he holds the basketball like a baseball
Additionally, he has magnetic charisma and the ability to win important matches. Perfection in every element of this game.

MJ is just a different breed. You can hear everyone in the stadium just go crazy when he makes a play. Even the commentators are having so much fun and excitement from watching him play. Really tells a story on how good he is compared to the modern NBA.
This is a good point.
No comparison, no replication of the GREATEST in the history of basketball. #MJ #ALI
This man like Muhammad Ali are the GOATS of there sports
It was ALWAYS "what's he gonna do next?" when MJ was playing. Even when he wasn't making the playoffs!
You said it best👍
35 years ago and he still looks like the future.
Brud this right here is the truest statement ever said lol
Jordan is timeless!
That is such a valid statement after that many years no one has caught up which is amazing.
that is why when your are watching in the 90s, you were watching the present and the future of basketball and MJ is the epitome of a great basketball player
Perfect genetic blend that was built and developed into the 80’s and 90’s, there will never be another Jordan
I would watch the NBA daily if it was still like that, he was so great
same, me too
I actually haven’t watched too many MJ highlights, so I thought I’d sit down and watch this. Will always be the NBA’s greatest
Nobody did it with more style and flare than MJ and he always put on a show when the lights shined the brightest that's what makes him the GOAT
Incredible talent, supreme athletic ability, insane work ethic, mastery of fundamentals, fierce competitive drive, extremely clutch, etc...6 NBA championships, 6 finals MVPs, 5 regular season MVPs, 10-time scoring champ (10 full seasons in a row, by the way), 9-time All-Defensive team.... MJ is unquestionably the GOAT. I remember about everyone of those 60 plays they picked..
He's got as strong a case as anybody as the greatest. Maybe Wilt as well. What might put Jordan over the top is the pure excitement and entertainment value.
I remember all of those 60 plays plus many more. MJ definitely the GOAT.

Just flawless in GOAT fashion!
MJ is the only one who kept me sane during high school
What do you mean he kept you “sane”
Crazy that the Bulls were DOWN 85-86 to the Jazz with 17 seconds left in the Finals, and instead of going for a quick bucket Jordan chose to run the clock down before taking his “last shot”. True confidence.
A quick basket would have just meant that the Jazz had more time to shoot the last shot. It's normal for every NBA team to hold the ball to have the last shot or the last good shot of the game in that situation.
The Jazz had ample time to run a quick play but Stockton missed his 3 pt. shot. They should've gone for a 2.
@@zimbu_ Sorry, but your are incorrect. Most teams would drain the clock to take the last shot IF IT WAS TIED OR THEY HAD THE LEAD. Rarely do you ever see teams drain the clock to take the last shot when they are behind.

One word to describe MJ’s game:
Graceful
Him running in transition was so fluid and even when he absolutely bodies someone on a dunk, he straight up glides in the air.
His dunks are aesthetic
All this greatness passed the test of time. 60 years of age, and still is the benchmark of greatness. Clearly, he is on a league of his own.. bar none.

MJ23 will never be replicated again!🐐
He won’t be replicated but there’s players better then him. Lebron, Hakeem, embiid, jokic, Giannis, kd. Prolly more too. Jordan played in an era where you couldn’t play certain defensive styles, the players were absolutely dog shit besides the stars of the big teams. Now imagine Jordan going up against kd a 7 footer who can dribble shoot and play like an assassin. Imagine Jordan playing against embiid a 7 footer who can do everything and jokic a playmaking center which is like magic Johnson if he was better. Also Giannis would average 100 points in his era. And he left right before the rockets got really good and he knew his ass wouldn’t beat them.

As great as MJ was as an offensive monster he was equally as good on defense. Something you don't find in todays NBA. Truly the GOAT.
I don't agree with the today's game, you got guys like kawhi and giannis and even sometimes Anthony Davis. Imo idk why people say defense was better back in the day it really looks like guys were standing up straight to guard him they didn't even try. Maybe it's because they knew they couldn't stop it but the effort to me doesn't look like today's game
@@robertmartin8603 Today's game emphasizes the 3. Back then it was all about mid range game. You are going to have a man or a hand in your face every time you shoot anything less then a 3. Also no more hand checking in todays game....and tons of flopping. Contesting players at the rim is rare as well. The NBA made rule changes to speed the game up and promote more scoring to sell the game overseas....at the cost of the defensive portion of the game. Out of all the guys who listed only Giannis plays similar to someone back then.
Nah in todays NBA, LeBron is probably the person you're talking about. LeBron and MJ are def top 2, even if you think one is better than the other, you have to still, at the end of the day admire both.
Jokic pretty much GOAT on defense this playoffs

"I took great pride as I got to know Kobe Bryant that he was just trying to be a better person, a better basketball player." -Michael Jordan
shut up about that rapist. This post isnt about him
Im 44 years and a look over and over again to all these plays and in excited like the first time in the 90s. Love for the GOAT.
53 seconds into this video where MJ catches the ball from going out of bounds was a spectaular thing to see. Not only did he catch the ball with one hand but he briefly palm gripped the ball at the same time. MJ truly was built for the game of basketball. He made it seem like it was a tennis ball he was catching🐐
This is the best highlight reel of Jordan I've ever seen put together. There's a bit of all the things he did on a regular basis -- the freakish ability to easily catch the ball with one hand, the complete terror he was on the fast break, the speed, the agility, the other-worldly body control in the air, the never-ending array of highlight-reel reverse layups, the explosive first step blowing by everyone in the league, the steals, crashing down on players to block shots from behind, finishing over 3+ defenders in the lane, the mid-range game, and of course, the dunks -- and he dunked on everyone, including the most elite rim-protectors: Dikembe Mutumbo (4-time Defensive Player of the Year), Alonzo Mourning (2-time Defensive Player of the Year), and on and on. And look at how much higher his hand is over the rim than the centers he keeps dunking on in the video. It was truly unreal. It's hard to convey how much he seemed at the time to be not-human, like he came from another planet. He was just that much better than everybody, essentially at everything. He was named MVP 5 times, but in truth he was the best player in the league many more years than that.
"Jordan's historic Bulls mixtape" and "rare voyager" are the very best, you should check them out
The thing people don't understand or have forgotten about Jordan is you could just as easily make a top 1000 plays and they would all look like this. his whole game was a highlight.
I'm so... satisfied that I grew up in an Era when I could watch this on live TV all the time (and I did). I got to see Michael Jordan play live several times. Incredible experience. No one else like him. Never will be.
어떻게 저렇게 파워풀하면서도 화려하고 깔끔하게 플레이하는 거지? GOAT
19 Minutes of Micheal Jordan highlights? Splendid
His form in 58 was perfect. I think this is a very underrated play. How he steals it, launches and beats the buzzer without it looking awkward from that deep doesn’t stop amazing me. Especially in this day and age where shots from that range are common, they always look ugly and forced, they always loose form. MJ apart from everything else was beautiful to watch, an artist, a master at work.
Discussion has to be for second place, everybody is miles away from this alien, distance is just to big, nobody comes close
Born in 82', I witnessed most of your greatness and and appreciated every moment of it, Happy birthday MJ and wishing you many more to come🫡 #MJGOAT
