MaxaMillion711 klay long compilation plz thanks
Thank you so much. Like @Hoop Juice said, this is the first time seeing such high quality MJ footage. Actually, since Covid, I've seen more old school footage than ever. Oh, as far as peak Jordan, ion kno, I like 96-98 Jordan. That was a grown man. But thanks again though.
what about a penny hardaway 94-95, or 95-96 mix?
Request:: Tim Duncan 02-03 season...... great job on the channel💪🏾💪🏾👍🏾
@@ricostar3 that would be the most fundamentally boring highlight reel. TMac 2002-2003 would be way more entertaining!
MJ was a 6’6” shooting guard who had the agility of a point guard, strength of a forward, hands of a center, leaping ability of a high jump athlete on top of his unparalleled competitive spirit. No wonder why he was a nightmare for his opponents.
Great analysis!
Jordan is and will always be the greatest and nothing can change that tbh but reading this just made me appreciate bron even more. Take everything physically you just said and increase it and that would be LeBron. Reread my first my first sentence before anyone attacks me lol
@@greatest599 😂😂😂😌
Hugo Cilerin, LeBron isn’t nearly as agile bro. He’s fast, but not agile. And he definitely doesn’t have those hands.
Sam lol ok
This is still mind boggling in 2022. He was like a ninja. No wasted movement, quick and precise.
this is my argument with all these knuckleheads from this era..they get wowed and amazed by so much wasted dribbling and unnecessary shit. Jordan/Kobe literally had no wasted moves and were ALWAYS in their bag. all they had to ask was how do you want it?..lol
@@anthonyhernandez2111 Facts
@@anthonyhernandez2111 💯💯💥🔥
Ninja-black cat, smh..
Right, barely needed ball handling. His body control was so good, why bother ?. Just fake right and go left, that's usually enough to destroy the ankles of defender when you're as agile as MJ was, everything is a crossover move.
This mans layup package is insane
No wasted moves, no over dribbling, no chest pumping. everything was precise and knew where he needed to be to get buckets. Amazing footwork, patience and skill. UNMATCHED
Jordan definitely is the man of tomorrow, his game was way ahead of it's time, dude created so many styles it's not even funny
ashtonjackfanny, MJ wasn’t ahead of his time. No one plays like him today.
Mike wasn’t ahead of his time , he is one of a kind
@Lando, no one is talking about isolation plays. I'm talking about playing in the air. Except for dunking in traffic, no one is able to do adopt his air game.
Stop acting like a tough guy when you're not.
What's crazy is he's on the court with the best athletes in the world, and he makes them look slow ,weak ,and unathletic.
@@Sam-ky3su Derrick Rose was ONE guy I witnessed from 2008-2012 who played in the air like Mike could, and Rose was so explosive and shifty too. They didn't play the same position but their games were similar, and if he didn't get hurt Rose was gonna be the greatest point guard ever
Unreal to think this is just one season of highlights.
mattslev And I’m pretty sure he left out a lot!
This was the season when athletic Jordan and skill Jordan came together, unstoppabull
This is the year where he just mastered everything about the game!! And it was a wrap for everybody else in the league!!
#Facts
mrcabone lol I see what you did there
@@louisvilleky502sopranos7 💯
Not to forget, along with this unbelievable offense, MJ was one of the top defensive players in the league, like every year!
THAT'S what really makes him the GOAT, and puts him over the top
He could have won DPOY like ten times if the media voters really understood basketball
90-91 Season Air Jordan and the bulls are soring to the NBA Champions.
@@zroysum uhm no
Jordans defense is what separates him from LBJ. LBJ stands around flat footed on defense. Jordan hand checked, cut off screens, challenged up court passes, inbound passes. He even said it himself on 1 of his favorite plays began with him on defense, stealing a pass, and racing up court for the jam.
Jordan's mid range game was impeccably lethal.. 🙏🏼
Problem for defense is hangtime, he literally pauses in the air while you have already landed, which makes every shot a a literally wide open look even if defended.
Great analysis
Craig Ehlo would agree😁
48 inch vertical, I believe.
He developed the mastery, against the midst of single to multiple opposing forces, in overcoming gravity in the vertical plane, via muscle power & efficient positioning/stance while suspended in space, thus creating a momentary low-altitude earth orbit.
This was observed by an
acting head of the Department of Astronautics at the Air Force Academy.
One word translation of above:
☆ H A N G T I M E ! ☆
@@MrMakemusicmike ...then add the mile-long stretch in the horizontal plane.
That's why he was able to do the "Air Reverse" signature move, and also chillin' for a quick cup of coffee while gliding in mid-air.
Hehe...
The wonderful thing is that Jordan didn't need screens set for him in an era where hand-checking was legal. Think about that for a minute.
JBiz80 zone defense also wasnt allowed
That's because his skills was to advance for the era he played in.
@@patsnation8427 It's too advanced for any era. If Kawhi Leonard can avg 26ppg and Bradley Beal avg 30 ppg than Jordan could avg 35.
@@mickee06 This modern era of basketball is considered the most skilled the league has ever seen. I think Jordan would dominate this era as well but more so with his IQ. As you can see he was way more faster than anyone back then. Players nowadays are faster & more skilled at all positions than majority of the ones who played in 70s, 80s, 90s & early 00s.
Pats Good, no one in today’s league is more skilled than Jordan. In today’s league, everyone is trying to be a three point shooting specialist. Jordan and others in his day did more than just trying to shoot threes. In fact, I don’t see anyone today doing a lot of the stuff Jordan did in his day.
I can never get tired of watching this. All of Jordan's best moves were improvised and created at the heat of the moment. Most of his moves were never the same.
Yes they we’re Kobe wasn’t
Absolutely.I totally agree 💯%.That's why he was so hard to defend against.He was so unpredictable.Every game he played,he brought something new either in attack,defence or assist.
That's why so many of us couldn't wait to watch him play next to see what he was going to do.He was so creative and competitive.An opposition coaches nightmare.
What a player!
That's how it is supposed to be. You never know what the defender may give you, or how they may play you so you must improvise
MJ did use the same moves however when he was stopped he would instantly counter with another move. He had a default set of moves with unlimited counter moves lol
HE took what the DEFENSE gave him, and spontaneously adapted to score. Whereas Kobe forced too many shots, and missed most of them. Even Phil Jackson said Kobe refuses to pass, and just forces up prayers, over and over, and over again...mostly missing and losing games because of it. But the highlights make Kobe look legendary, but it is NOT in context. He forced too many selfish shots when he could have passed.
This is the best version of any player who has ever lived
Bro this man was SMOOTHLY FEROCIOUS!
This dude's rookie year had better numbers than most of the best players of all-time peaks!!! It's FREAKING INSANE
Facts
28 6 6 as a rookie. That’s mvp numbers now
@@tommybrown187 ... Exactly! Those are the same numbers Kobe put up during his MVP season except Mike shot way better from the field.
Lost in the first round
@@johncena4096 yeah ik. lebron sucks for losing without ad 😂
One thing that really separates Michael and Kobe is speed/frequency of movements and explosiveness. Kobe is agile enough in his prime but no version of Kobe has that insane speed and explosiveness of Michael in 88-93.
I think the best matchup would be 2003 Kobe. He had already fully developed his game by that point and he bulked up so he wouldn't get overpowered in the post. MJ still has the edge in my opinion, but I would have loved to see that matchup.
Kobe was in no way as fast as Jordan bruh. No way No how.
I've never seen a 6'6" human being move the way he did. It's simply unbelievable. His acceleration and stopping power. His change of direction. Unmatched to this day.
Don't forget the hands. Kobe had average hands. Michael had Dr. J hands which enabled him to manipulate the ball (and the defender) in ways Kobe never could. It's also why Jordan had such a better touch, which led to far greater efficiency.
Thing with Kobe is, his 3pt range and skills were unmatched. He literally had a move for every scenario to make up for not having the big hands or super hero leaping ability. He could shoot from anywhere. Surprisingly, he and Jordan average the same points per shot (pps)…Michael just Made it look sooo much easier
It is laughable how anyone can say someone other than Michael Jordan is the GOAT with a straight face. Just pure comedy.
Word. Lol
I’m a big Michael Jordan fan but you’re simply biased if you think there is no argument. Bill Russell, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Wilt Chamberlain all have an argument over Jordan.
@@d3adyoutubeaccountI agreed with you until you said Kobe lol. LeBron Russell Kareem for sure, but Kobe.. no.
@@PrinceSlade22 Kobe has more points, more assists, more all NBA teams, more all defensive teams, more finals appearances, higher career high, harder era and won with less help (‘09, ‘10). Kobe most certainly has a case over Jordan if LeBron does
@@PrinceSlade22 Kobe is easily better than LeBron.
He was so quick and fluid with his moves. He literally broke the mold of how NBA players played the game.
Imagine the analytic nerds telling Jordan that mid range jumpers are bad shots lol.
Lol I mean they’re just not for him lol 😂
If I remember the analytical consensus correctly, mid range shots are bad shots for *average* players. If you're average you maximize your production by going for 3s and layups. Of course if you're Dirk, Kobe, Jordan, etc., You're not just average at it, and analytics would say take more of that since it's harder to stop (and since that's usually what defenses will give you).
Raf nobody cares about the computer geeks
Elite midrange jumpers like CP3 or Kevin Durant are allowed and their analytics teams advice them to shoot those midrange jumpers because they can shoot 50+ % from those.
@@aikeeramz this is more or less the truth. In a vacuum the 3pt shot is more valuable and if you're constantly taking 20 footers, then it's literally one step back for the 3. However, jordan attacked the rim a lot - A LOT. Finished really well as well. The midrange jumper was a set up for his drives if anything. So yea, jordan was a pretty god damn efficient player from an analytics perspective and constantly ranks high across metrics for that reason. Jordan stans would actually say that if jordan played in this day and age, he would have naturally developed that 3pt shot more than he had in the 90s and his ppg and scoring efficiency stats would likely sky rocket.
He clearly is the BEST player in NBA history. Look at his highlights n whoever else's. Nobody. Not even kobe. Made it look this vicious. The skills is second too none
Check out Kobe's goat szn video
It is straight insane not gonna lie
TheBmills415 ur yo stupid
Blessed Disciple I always thought D-Wade had that attacking big shot layup package closer to MJ than anyone other than Kobe. I believed Wade attacked the basket more like MJ and put his body on the line every night like MJ where Kobe didn’t always do that. Good analysis because I always believed that from day one. Jordan’s fade away is second tjj on none and I haven’t seen anyone do it as pure as MJ! Kobe’s nice at it but he does too much unnecessary movement which makes him inefficient. Jordan is such a pure shooter and it’s poetry in motion from layups to dunks to fade-aways! If you want to train your son the best way and perfect way you put in Jordan tapes over anyone else who ever played! He would be number one as skill without unnecessary movement. Pure artwork. Not saying you can’t learn from other great which have dumb but I’m just saying just pure technique Jordan’s the guy
Umm his competition was terrible he won championships in expansion years where teams was trash and if that era was so physical why these highlights show so many open lanes and shit and when he do get touched it’s a foul that’s a whole lie what they try to tell us about that era be honest the early 2000s had the best defense if you trying to be real
Blessed Disciple I ain’t crying about a damn thing I’m just speaking facts the highlights prove it the teams wasn’t good and even when he left the only lost 2 less games but when other starts leave teams the percentage is higher for losing people act like his team wasn’t good without him they had other stars
That reverse on the Nets is still unbelievable it even had the Nets bench in Wow
Father of the Fade Away, Reverend of the Reverse...GOAT
And Deacon of the Dunk. 😎
Aaron damn man well said hahahahaha
Well said... Well said 🐏🐏🐏
Actually, James Worthy taught Jordan the fade away. Jordan mastered it.
@@dane8122 I'm interested in this story. Where can I learn more about this? I'm always curious about plays like Jordan & Hakeem became so cognizant of their movements. They were so fluent with an unlimited arsenal of offensive moves. I know that Hakeem attributes playing Soccer at a young age helped him with his footwork & smooth movements. That's good that Jordan learned from Worthy but I also wonder if he study film of old players.
Someone said KD is more gifted scorer ever. How the hell?? this man right here is the most gifted!!
KD is my favorite player and it’s baffling how people can say he’s a better scorer tho MJ
There's nobody better than this man. I've never seen anyone move like him.
💯%
Never seen a player who would move with such easiness. Jordan was just so gracious.
It's like his normal speed is still faster than everyone's full speed.
That’s what I love most about his game. He makes everything look so easy. He’s so light on his feet and everything looks so calculated. The player that reminds me of him today is Kawhi. But Jordan was way quicker and more explosive.
Yes, graceful like a cat. I just said to my buddy who sent me this vid this very thing, "it may be that no one has moved more leopard like in basketball, or in any sport than MJ does, especially this 91 season... look at 7:17 "
Damn.
Elegant, aesthetically pleasing, smooth.. The way his legs would scissor slightly on fadeaways just oozed style. Like Mike.. If i could be like Mike (wanna be wanna be like mike)
Agreed agreed...and putting a stamp on it
Probably the greatest joy of my sports life that I got to see MJ play so many times growing up. Thank you WGN.
I'm so thankful, I got to live through the Michael Jackson era, Micheal Jordan era, and the Mike Tyson era, I wouldn't give up my 80s childhood for anything.
@@mrcabone And the Tyson era, too!!! Couldn't wait to see him destroy some guy. I'd taped the Douglas fight and watched it after my Dad and I came back from a Brewers game. It was still going and was right at the point where he getting knocked out. We were stunned.
Lmao. I always tell people about wgn. I was in the Washington DC area but saw every game
I got to watch every single game of the 1996 season because of WGN lol.
mrcabone I always say the greatest in sports and music carry the initials M.J.J.
This is the greatest peak of a basketball player of all time
lol
Man after all these years this video just reminds us how great this man was ,...I have been watching NBA since the 70s and I have yet to see anyone better.

Kobe rip came very close
@@livelaughlove2366 Kobe was nice asf
@@solemagus4761 true certified legend ..
@@livelaughlove2366 no he did not kobe was a great player but he didnt come close to jordan the typical narrative pushed by kobes fan boys.Lebron is even greater than kobe.Kobe was great but is effeciency was terrible he jacked up alot of shots and had a very low basketball iq until about the 06-07 season when he started to mature as a player.kobe was great but he aint even top 10 all time no offence to his fan boys
31.5ppg, 6 rpg, 5.5 apg, 2.7 spg on 53.9% shooting. That's insanely efficient.
It is pretty underrated on how efficient Jordan was when he was on the bulls for his career on the bulls he averaged 31.5 points 5.4 assists 6.3 rebounds on 50.5% shooting and 33.2% from three he was crazy efficient considering he was averaging 30 points for his Career on the bulls
Yes but against what competition at his position? lol The 90s was weak and dominated by Bigs.. and teams were watered down. Jordan's best competition was Clyde Drexler 💀 Jordan was still great, but he didn't win anything until the stars of 1980s all retired or got at the tail end of there careers. The league didn't see prolific elite scoring Guards & Forwards until the 2000s.
If you 3peat twice, and dominate the league so easily like you Jordan fans say he did, the rest of us are all questioning his competition and that's why us Kobe fans and them LeBron fans say they are better than Jordan.
@@Darius_Icewood bronsexual
@@Darius_Icewood ... Nope, because you kids don't lniw what the phukk you're talking about yet you still talk. It was all about defense and he still performed. Kobe, with or without good defensive players guarding him, still couldn't mustee 1 shooting season above 47%. Lebron takes 69% of his shots for his career from 3ft and in. This goea back to lack of defense and rules changes allowing this shit.
But you knew that smmfh
I'm only 20 years old and I know MJ the goat. I never saw him play but his legacy is almost surreal, you think and hear about MJ and you think he's not human. For a player to be that good, that athletic, that dominant in every aspect of the game. + the moves he used were so ahead of his time. The beautiful fadeaway, that unreal hang time, the best basketball player to ever walk the earth. Period.
Glad to see you gain a testimony of Basketball God, young one

@@Darius_Icewood keep dreaming
Dude, look at that spacing. The fact that MJ was able to dominate the scoring board in that era is insane!
They cluttered the paint on defense and he was still dominant.
He is too good. He makes it look so easy. Simply the goat

@@senjumarustan it’s not just “add” LOL most of them been practicing since high school. you can’t just “add” a 3pt shot to your bag. takes time,practice and feel.
Wow never realized how pure MJ’s shot was. Barely ever hits the rim, all net
Yeah MJ had a really nice shot.
It just amazes that people exist that don't think Michael Jordan is the best basketball player ever. The difference in skill, footwork, creativity, finishing, shooting, determination etc etc is just on another level with say a current superstar in his 17th year.
17:26 This might be my favorite execution by MJ, displaying how he could decide (in mid-air) how to finish in multiple ways. He positions the ball 4 TIMES (in mid-air) finishing with the 4th position. No other player in NBA history has demonstrated this superior level of routine body-control.
Jordan CREATED the word "Aesthetic"
siM Flo the DOC
The One thing that does not lie is the eye test... His Game was simply on a another level. The only player in NBA history where his defense was just as lethal as his offense. Best to ever do it IMO Michael Jeffrey Jordan.
Kareem was the same way? Kobe to their defense was just as lethal as Their offense
@@cumbusta9175 I would add Hakeem Olajuwon too.
@@jtremaine23 yup him to
ben wallace's defense was technically just as lethal as his offense
Na kobe wasn’t as good on defense...Don’t know how he made 9 def teams.Thats just not true.
How anyone could watch this entire video and think anyone has played basketball better than this man is beyond me.
Because look at the people guarding him danny ainge wtf
@@Kbrwsg Meanwhile Lebron is being guarded by Hedo Turkoglu and JJ Barea lol
@@Kbrwsggo watch the LeBron 12-13 highlight by this same guy, then watch this again. Jordan is turning heavy defence into Swiss cheese vs. LeBron shooting pull up jumpers against weak man defense and every drive he is guarded by one guy. You'll never see 3 guys rotating and jumping to block LeBron.
Just compare the two highlights it's so easy
@@jeffk862 injured lakers with old worthy and no defenders and divac in the paint is a weak defense stop tryna make the defense he faced look good they were weak adn u know it
@@Kbrwsg like I said watch the two highlights pretty easy to see who had to do more to penetrate the lane. LeBrons highlights from his best season are him shooting long range 2s and 3s with soft coverage and driving the lane against one defender
Here I am again, watching this clip yet again because.... well, it's friggin MJ lol. His game looked so smooth and effortless. Nothing forced. I seriously miss watching this man play!!
It's like a lost art! I must-have watched this, I don't know how many times. I never get tired!
Definitely peak MJ, he was like a rocket about to go off. Every play is exciting because you don't know what he will do next; he can turn on the jets, leap over you, or kill with his jumpshot. When Jordan got older, he could only use his speed in short bursts, and he relied more his skill and his IQ to beat opponents. Here in 91, he could overwhelm the opposition with his athleticsm.
Dude was just to smooth
10 times more highlights in one season than most players have in an entire CAREER. Unparalleled on a basketball court. MJ reigns SUPREME.
This first three peat MJ was different. He had the unreal athleticism of 80s Jordan as well as the experience and the craft of 96-98 Jordan. Not to mention the competitiveness and his mindset that made him the greatest ever. Second three peat MJ would lose only to first three peat MJ 🐐
Two MJs going against each other other? That’s universe ending stuff right there. Lol.
@@ryanatorryanson9535 we shall make holographic ai copies and have them play against eachother
Best player I've ever seen
To everyone who has watched this video there are few things you have to keep in mind. First, there are hardly any screens set for him and he is often double teamed but he negates that with his quick first step. Along with that, he doesn’t use 20 dribble moves to get to his spot, he takes a few and knows where he wants to get to to get his shot off. And the biggest thing is that there are hardly anyone standing by the 3-point line which means that when he does make his move he is running into 2 or 3 more defensive players along with his teammates which makes the paint even more congested. He averaged 30+ in his career when the NBA was like this, imagine if he played nowadays when the centers are standing by the 3-point line along with everyone else leaving the paint wide open, easily 35-40 points a night. #GOAT
Jordan would benefit the most from this era, he would have 20 layups a game. Probably would get bored and retire.
A lot of that has to do with the defense being unable to zone up on his drives and take space away from him. Players today aren't exclusively worse at scoring without screens
@@poly_g6068 Yes, they're just sliding out of his way so they don't get scratched. Or... he makes everyone from that era look like they're the Keystone Kops on defense, because he was just that great. We're watching the same tape.
He also would've mastered three-pointers as well. I mean, his three ball was already strong even without focusing on it. Imagine his game but with like 6-7 threes a game too. 91 Jordan could've easily avg 40 today.
@@Mjumbojetpresdent Just to add, every year that he increased his 3pt attempts to around 3 per game ('90, '93, '96, '97), his 3pt % was around 38%, which tells me that a lot of other years, when he's rarely attempting 3's, there's probably a high frequency of those shots being end of quarter launches.
I have zero doubt - with Jordan's form and shooting mechanics - that he couldn't flirt with +38% as a high volume 3pt shooter.
Nevertheless, I'd love to see him in today's game, not launching 3's, but carving up teams and getting to the line; more damage getting the other team's prime defenders into foul trouble. There's been a massive regression over the years, for how they defend the interior; which wouldn't have happened if Jordan was in the league today.
This is a God, no one can come close to this MJ
Jordans ability to get to the rim and finish and mid range plus he was able to score most of his shot with 3 to no dribbles is unparalleled
How they forget his greatness
1987-1988...MVP, scoring title, Defensive Player of the Year while Magic and Bird were still in their primes. 35 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals a game. It's hard to choose between those two seasons even though the Bulls won the championship in 1990-1991.
imagine a 1v1 between 91 Jordan and 2008 Kobe 👀🔥🔥🐅🐅 both 3 years out of their highest scoring seasons with completely polished games
89-91 Jordan was definitely better. More ppg was just cause he had less help. And let’s be real he didn’t deserve dpoy
Bird already had back problems im 87.
Not so prime anymore.
@@jpickup6 He set a record for steals and blocks as a guard in '88! Others have won DPOY while accompliishing far less!
cyber6sapien there’s fundamental rules to defense that mean it’s virtually impossible for a perimeter defender to be the most impactful in the league. Especially during Hakeems prime
Greatest Player, Greatest Scorer, Greatest Shooter...End of Discussion.
Not greatest shooter, but greatest competitor and simply the greatest. Ever.
@JamaKama Music
Let me put it to you another way.
NOBODY has ever regarded Michael Jordan as the "greatest shooter of all time".
Not anyone that knows a lot about basketball anyway. But go on blogs saying that and see how many times you are corrected. Good luck with that. 😎
@@Sunsn7 The best overall shooter & best 3pt shooter or 2 different things. Curry, R. Allen, R. Miller are great 3pt shooters but the don't have a mid-range & anyone who's played basketball will agree.
I think you tried to say greatest mid-rage shooter
ant smith it’s actually kind of rare for the greatest player in the game to be the most entertaining to watch. Floyd Mayweather was the best boxer in the world, and his fights weren’t fun because he would just avoid getting hit while jabbing away
Tom Brady is the GOAT but he wears opponents down by rarely making mistakes and punishing opponents mistakes
Jerry Rice was unstoppable, but his game was mostly about getting open with precise routes and excellent hands (more than making crazy catches)
Before jordan, Kareem was probably the GOAT (or at least close) and his game was just about consistency and using a few proven moves to score
Jordan was the greatest in the game, and at the same time the most entertaining, explosive, unpredictable player in the league. One night he would murder yo7 in the post, the next night he knock down midrange shots or 3pt bombs. And you cant look away for a moment or you might miss the most insane athletic feat you’d ever see
Nobody is better than this. Every play is amazing. Never seen someone so light on his feet, airy, floaty, athletic, fast, also has strength. Perfect jumpshot, knows how to time it as he floats, automatic
This is just one season! Truly the GOAT
17:25 : 1st class Air Jordan. Opposing bench reaction : try hard not to celebrate...
so good
No one on that bench could beleive what they just saw 😂😂
Nasty
Always loved the reaction of the Net who just puts his head back and buries his face in his hands! Just exemplifies the sheer preposterousness of perhaps the greatest move of all time.
in his prime no one moves like him even kobe
kobe is the 1998version of MJ
but this MJ is 1998 version plus athlethesism with its finest
so graceful and athletic but so fundamental
Ferdie Vicmudo facts
Which kobe are you talking about ?
Jordan is the goat but Kobe had some better moves in my opinion
chris wilson I respect youre opinion but ive watch almost all michael jordan and kobe videos for more than 20yrs and I will said Jordan is more skilled and has better moves than kobe.
Jordan moves often comes through instinct and more natural depending on the deffense dictates him
Kobe sometimes has the move already activated to his mind and then he executes it.
they have both good footwork but jordan has more speed, agility and hangtime while kobe has more dribbling skill because jordan doesnt need to and that is one thing that make him so efficient and his game so effortless he doesnt need to dribble the ball 10 to 15seconds just to pass by his defender he just. need to dribble it 2 to 4x and create an openning for a jumpshot, dunk or a layup.
But their both good and they are both my favorite player and that is just also ky opinion :)
Ferdie Vicmudo yeah it’s all subjective, I haven’t just watched videos, I’m 40 years old and have seen both of their whole careers first hand. Jordan was a better player but Kobe’s moves were better, in my opinion.
This is what is referred to as "the full repertoire." GOAT
You know the dunk is sick when the other teams bench got hyped in 4:40
Incredibly unbelievable! I can die peacefully seeing him the only GOAT ever. So lucky seen him live in the 90s.
Jojie Martinez this comment is certified MJ the goat forever
Peak MJ for sure!
To me Jordan passes the eye test as the greatest player that I’ve ever seen. There may come a day when I see a player better than him but that day has not yet come.
The rules of today's game would force Adam Silver to create his own Jordan Rules because Prime Mike would utterly DEMOLISH these dudes, especially with the shortage of 7+ foot enforcers at the rim.
Just look how insane this guy was....how are people saying lebron better.
Jordans stutter step was just something else
I Just posted the same thing. My eyes are telling me Jordan is better
Dude... nobody is in the same league as MJ not even the late great Kobe Bryant
Kobe will kill this flat footed players.
@anthony patterson Dip shit he would not be guarded by Ehlo he would be guarded by a power forward - and they would give him him fitz - cause he has no fucking post game and no god dam foot work - cannot make free throws - And he soft as cotton - So please tell us how the fuck he would operate with a center and a power forward always in the paint and he cannot fucking shoot - Go research what the Spurs did to LBJ in regards to shooting in a NBA finals - And then please tell us you asshole
@anthony patterson ohand this weak league with james Harden flopping is leading on scoring thats your excuse for jordan not going for 50? Try alil harder!!!
He was mythical... The Best. Scoring at will! April 19th can't get here soon enough.. #YourGOATCouldNever
Don't forget he lead the league in steals 3x also had 100 blocks in two seasons.
11thWoods ESPN is going tear MJ apart with that series. They not going to see true meaning behind it
@@mickee06 he was different yo
What's April 19th?
His first step was unimaginable and mind boggling 🤯
Greatest of all time, was born in 94 so Kobe is my MJ but I had to do my HW and come see for myself why kobe looked up to MJ...the footwork, athleticism, mid range, fade-away, the tongue the swag super pissed my older brothers got to see it live and in the moment I’ll always be jealous about that but if there wasn’t no MJ then there wouldn’t be a Kobe, that being said RIP Kobe you will forever be missed 8/24 FOREVER ♾
Awesome post

👍🏽👍🏽
Same real post brother
Good to see this, Micheal was ,and is the greatest. Quick feet, quick hands, explosive, mid range, lay up package, defense,3s if needed,clutch,winner,and dunk on your head. That's the man right there.
Ok this reminds me again Mj is the goat.
1-9
@Derek Sangster nigga it is, a simple google search will give you your answer.
@@xers6704 never said that

17:38 bench reaction is my favorite part of this entire clip. I wish there was an interview out there somewhere with the Nets bench and what they were thinking when they watched this layup. I remember watching this game live on TV. MJ didn't have a big scoring night, but the few buckets he dropped were just MJ being MJ.... I wish he could've played forever!!
Crazy how this man just glides through the air
Yep.
Got to watch in real time when I was young. Almost, almost forgot. He’s a living video game cheat. GOAT
Absolute pleasure to watch in complete awe. Thanks for sharing.
None of this mans Movements are "herky jerky" at all so smooth just glides on the hardwood. GOAT!
In era where handchecks and hard physical defense was the name of the game, MJ dominated!!! He is the GOAT!!!
I think Michael is the goat dont get me wrong but I also think the 90s defense is insanely overrated and the average players quality was no where near today’s game. Even in those highlights.. I mean damn many of his opponents wouldn’t even think of making the nba today.
@@lord4806 MJ makes any defensive scheme look weak. Even a 35 year old Jordan made defence look silly. His timing, creativity, skill set, footwork and athleticism trumps everything in 91. When his athleticism faded, he beat defensive schemes with IQ and watching film.
@@lord4806 Most of these players wouldn't make back then, especially with all the ISO play/many players don't know how to play without the ball now, the flopping wouldn't get called back then, and players didn't play to stat pad how they do today
The question should be asked how do players routinely play into their 40's now, while back then by age 35 they were retired? Surely the physical game had something to do with that

These defenses are just too physical for my eyes
Jordan had such a beautiful game. He moved with his handle. He had the best body control with the ball in his hand. Had that thing on a string. Perfect basketball player. Amazing. I don’t think we will see this kind of talent again
Never realized how fast he was, geeesh
Markland Designs Of Atlanta fastest 1st step I’ve ever seen
massdagod yeah and his overall speed and quickness is unreal. Clearly we ( myself and many others I’m sure) overlooked that part of his game. Dude was up and down the court in a matter of seconds. I see why he got so many steals
To be that quick and fast and stay balanced, didn't seem human.
@@MarklandDesignsOfAtlanta Now they got ESPN sportcasters saying Lebron is "bigger, faster, stronger .." And I'm like: "faster"?
@@cyber6sapien exactly
And there is NO ONE quicker than him . That’s just ridiculous
What stands out is how effortless this season was for him. I always was in awe over his 87’ thru 89’ seasons in which I felt that frame was his prime and the most untouchable player that ever saw on an NBA floor.... But watching this he just learned how to make it look easier... I think today’s fans remember the 98’ old guy Jordan or the Wizards version who is nothing like this dude who owned everyone all the time... Some complain that he didn’t beat the pistons early enough, but he had to wait for Pippen and Grant to get better, don’t forget he was dropping 40’s and 50’s in those losses to Detroit... Best defensive superstar to play the game! Defense = Effort/Heart... Everyone wants to shoot a reverse lay up of dribble open into a smooth jumper but the real gamer greats play lock down D...
The footwork, the handles, ability to split the defense, ability to create shots, the ability to get to the rim and the finishes. The hang time. His efficiency. Just unbelievable
This man was crazy! GOAT! 🐐
Jordan use to do these dudes greasy. Best mid range ever
It’s the combination with his superior close range touch, ball handling, as well elusively attacking the hole or posting dudes up, it’s the full package..
I know his stats were better from 1987-1989 but 1990-1993 MJ was so much more polished. He could score from anywhere. He had so many moves in his arsenal. His mid-range was godly but he still had the insane athleticism of a young man. That was his peak imo.
yeah, he sacrificed his stats to get his team more involved in order to win chips and it worked.
@@Mjumbojetpresdent exactly like don’t get it twist that 90-93 mj could still put up this incredible crazy stats if he wanted to he just chose not to for the team’s benefit
@@youngcactusjack I mean he still had insane stats, like 31.2 points and 11.4 assists in the 1991 finals, 36 points in the 1992 finals and 41 points in the 93 finals
@@user-br2jn4fk3q Ik but you see what I’m saying he waited to till he got to the highest lvl of competitive unleash his full skill/greatness in each of those finals he set different record than before but I’m talking about throughout a whole szn showing his dominance 87 scoring dominance seen on such a level since wilt, 88 dominance all across the board on every level, 89 elite facilitating and racking up historic all around numbers damn near every night with a incredible playoff run, 89-90 Phil came but still allow mj to individually dominate for most of the season efficiently 34/7/6 on 52/38/88 splits and had a even greater individual playoff run than before then he sacrificed all of the numbers for team success and still was dominant in the process just in a different way
@@youngcactusjack Yup, all you gotta do is look at the playoffs and see he how he elevated his game. Dude averaged over 35ppg for the entire playoffs in 1993. If he did that against the highest level of competition, then he certainly could have averaged even more in the regular season, but there was no reason to do so. He averaged a little less, his team mates got more involved and they won anyways. In the playoffs however, you gotta step up and he did just that, year after year.
20 moves and 20 variations and 20 variations for the variations. By that point he'd become so proficient with everything and so confident that he played on insticts alone. Full throttle and completely unpredictable.
That comment was perfect, like a Michael Jordan of comments.
He was absolutely motivated this year, matched with his skill being elite. There was nothing anyone could do
Pure artistry at it's finest. There will never be another!
The footwork especially when he’s baseline posting up, the balance , the control, the pull-up game, the bunnies, quick ass first step all around respect to tha God man 🐐. N this is only one season 🤦♂️😂💯
One thing Jordan had that kobe and Lebron didn’t have this level of elusiveness
Heart was for winning...........
anthony patterson that’s the word!
Iere P No I’m talking about Skill
Yea but lebron has the bully ball..kobe and jordan were never bullies like bron was. Different style. Kobe and jordan would use elusive moves lebron would go threw your chest.
cray 3K MJ had some bully in him too 90’s physical typa game
The greatest to ever play the game! End of discussion!
So smooth, so fluid, so agile.
I watched all (allot) of his games as a kid on WGN, MJ's was a god. Greatest ever any sport. No doubt.
Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Michael Jordan
All MJ's career is one big highlight!
When they say : "he played chess while other played checkers", it couldn't be more true when it comes to MJ. One of a kind... Never ever will be another one with the total package combining grace fluidity and killing efficiency. Amazing.
That dunk at 4:40 is one of my favorites such an underrated dunk the explosiveness is UNREAL and at 22:20 the opposing player starts running the other way he wanted no part of that lmao
it showed how physical the era was and just how good prime MJ and if he wanted to score ..whether light or heavy traffic..there was no stopping him
Which Jordan's were those?!
Maurice French air Jordan 6
17:34 Yes, the man on the far right of the screen on the Nets bench in this replay is Sam Bowie, the man the Trail Blazers drafted over MJ in 1984.
Jeez..the irony
This is definitely his peak. He had the explosiveness of his late 80s days, but this was where he was starting to build his IQ and skill set more. Which was his strongest threat in his 2nd three peat
He gets to the spot on the court he wants every time lol
the spot he wants is the spot you are not prepared to defend.
Wow. Never seen this much quality mj footage. Next do his 87-88 season I think that was his athleticsm peak but I know the footage is probably hard to find
Hoop Juice 💯
I think that the NBA FINALS 1993 is his peak
The footage is out their. I have most of majority of MJ's career unfortunately on VHS
@@freddylong1 RELEASE THE FOOTAGE! Just put it on your tv and screenrecord.
@TheRealist 811 Facts 👍🏿
My guy has the energy of a toddler. The man doesn’t stop moving and being crazy aggressive.
He always find a solution to score,just an amazing player and i think he wasn't 2meters and do all this things!!!Unbelieveble!!!
See this is the Mike we in illinois seen 100 games a year. ESPN & y'all just show his playoff highlights. His best games were in the regular season, we seen some amazing shiit every night. "Just a scorer" my ass, he did EVERYTHANG....we know, y'all don't...
Great video👍
Can‘t wait for the 92-93 Mix 🙏🏽
MJ was legit too damn good. One of the most underrated things about him was his ability to shred the defense making it helpless. It couldn't react quickly enough , or it was sliced, or so much space was created, or the sudden burst into the air left him there wide open. Dude didn't even have to run around hard like a headless chicken. Very quick, decisive moves that created an open shot or a shot that couldn't be challenged enough.
Watching this made me realize how two handed Jordan was, man went with either hand to rim.
