MICHAEL JORDAN WILL ALWAYS BE THE GOAT! That’s his legacy to always be compared to the next great player. I love it, can’t wait to see who the next great player will be so that they’ll compare him to MJ. Oh and records of total stats are for people who play a shit ton of years in the league, has never made anyone the greatest, just ask Peyton Manning. Great players but not the GOATS. That just means you played more years. The fact that MJ’s accomplishments were in only 11 full seasons with the Bulls just blows my mind! Not to mention the style that Jordan played offensively and definitely was just exciting and awesome to watch, endless incredible moves, shots, and incredible defensive plays. He’s just the BOSS, the GOAT, the MEASURING STICK! So lucky to have lived thru his era!
Man I must say Mj was the most sharp shooter from the mid range and that post up games no one does it better.. absolutely amazing to still watch old videos. It's still like it was yesterday.. to the Godfather..
You can show 3 hours of LeBron James to someone who's never watched basketball and then just show five minutes of highlights of Jordan I bet you the individual will pick Jordan 10 times out of 10
I literally can't think of one on-ball defender in the NBA today that could hold MJ under 40 ppg, except MAYBE Kawhi Leonard if Jordan was injured or sick. Then again, not even then because Mike always elevated his game on those occassions.
Did play otherworldly in 2 finals series with injury or when he was sick. First during their first championship against Magic. He had a stubbed toe and on one game he wore a shoe with it's toe, the shoe I mean, was cut and modified to lessen the pressure on his toe but he still changed to regular shoes amidst the pain in the 2nd half. Second, of course, the flu game. Oh, I almost forgot, another one when his shooting finger was injured.
@@lamefart I think you mean the knuckle on his shooting hand index finger was broken at the start of the 1998 season, no tape, no surgery...let's hoop, led the league in scoring and won his 6th ring that year.
@@mikehammer1777, yeah! The tendinitis vs the Sonics as well. He was wearing a battery-powered muscle stim which looked horrendous in today's standards but was top of the line in 96! Hahaha! Well, outside of the finals there's more! When he played PG, he aggravated his groin injury in game 2 of the Knicks series in 89. He injured his groin in March then overexerted in May, specifically in the 2nd game where he sat down in the 2nd half. He just scored 15 points, his lowest in all of his playoffs career... He was angered and ashamed of what happened so the remainder of the 3 consecutive games where they won he dropped at least 40 pts in each game. At least 3 steals as well.. Hahaha For reference, game 3: www.nytimes.com/1989/05/14/sports/pro-basketball-jordan-head-and-shoulders-above-knicks.html Series summary: bullszone.wordpress.com/2014/08/25/the-biggest-victory-in-the-history-of-the-franchise-the-1989-eastern-conference-semifinals/
pure fundamental offensive skill set, i learned alot from you mj offensively just pick the place where you were good at not dribbling so much just catch and shoot and post up and let the game come to you and he didnt force some shots,
This is a mj past his prime fyi and look at the grace. No one can compare cause when he went past his prime still Michael Jordan a total game like no other the goat
The finish at the basket at 6:56 alone, sets MJ apart from LBJ and Kobe who wouldn't know to go up quick with it and use their rear to protect from the shot block.
YO PAUL you've never actually played structured bball at any level, highschool nor college - I can tell. There's knowing what to do and having presence of mind in the moment to do it. For example, everyone (maybe except you) knows to box out when a shot goes up - how many actually do it? Grow up and express your childish and meager opinion without being vulgar.
meg ur a joke. You are right in sayin that there a lot of players that don't know basic fundamentals. But for you to be arrogant enough to sit behind your key board and say two basketball icons don't have to mental presence to make such a basic decision is just sad. Listen to how former NBA players and kobe/Lebron peers talk about them, I may have been vulgar, but I'd rather be vulgar than a arrogant dumbass
meg both kobe and Lebron have studied the game non stop since they were kids. But it's good to know we have people on RUclips that know more than they do or have a better understanding of "mental presence"
meg one last thing, I apologize for my language, that was rude. But your comment and analysis was the singles most illogical thing I have ever read and I'm tired of "fans" disrespecting greatness
Some people are going to disrespect the jazz and say that MJ was playing against plumbers and the Jazz weren't that good. MJ scored 44 points and made it look effortless. He was also busy on defense, but the Jazz beat the Bulls because they too were a great team! The 1997 and 1998 Jazz would've beaten ANY other team in the Championship that didn't have Micheal Jordan on it. I watched the 1997 Jazz team beat Shaq, Hakeem, Clyde Drexler, and Charles Barkley in the playoffs. In 1998, a 34yr old Malone again lead the Jazz over Hakeem, Clyde, Tim Duncan, David Robinson, and Shaq (Kobe was in rookie and sophomore seasons coming off bench). Only a fool would say that the Jazz were bums. They easily beat all those guys I mentioned. The only player that didn't win a championship was Charles Barkley, but he led a team to the finals in 1993.
It's kinda funny to think that when MJ shoot space jam in 96 bulls was 72-10 with a ring Best team ever in history to achieved such great heights.. Gsw was okay well they got their 73 beating 72 from a soft era but never got to had a ring during that year so basically 72 with a ring means alot more meaningful than a unfulfilled choked 73 win.. Just saying.. Well bron shooting space jam 2 Loose Angeles Lakers were 31-38? Dropped falling off that He never got to play in the playoffs smh with much much embarrassing moments! Talk about the irony! Lmfao😂😂😂
There is a similar scene in the video you uploaded. 1997.03.15 atlanta match. Play time 4 minutes jordan pass number 35 player and dunk. If there is a video, I really want to watch it.
2:30 what a move by Mj but the bench of the bulls has no reaction. But when Leflop did a boring dribbling the lakers bench went crazy and also the shot didn't come in! What a pathetic teamates!🤣😁
During MJ’s first retirement, Bryan Russell trashed talked him while he was stopping by to say hey to Malone and Stockton, ever since then it’s been personal. That moment was featured on the last dance. Watch Jordan talking smack to Bryan Russell after every point scored.
I'm a MJ fan and I grew up watching every game. But when I look back on it......Mike was guarded by Jeff Hornacek, John Stockton, Craig Ehlo, Dan Majerle....smh. I could of gave these defenders 40.
Wow this is so weird to see that Utah was still using the old floor design and logo in November 1996 despite having already updated their uniforms, this looks so wrong! I wonder at what point did they actually change it? I do not recall this at all!
I went back and found a New York Times article from November 12th, 1996 where the Utah Jazz game against the Spurs had to be cancelled because their new floor had become warped and some of the wood was sticking up as much as 1/8th of an inch. They ended up needing to dig the floor from last season out of storage. Typically old floors are sold off, but luckily for the Jazz they had not gotten around to doing that yet. So that's what happened, they started the season with the new floor, but it was defective.
Ant is the next new face of the league and who are people comparing him to?? Not LeBron. Whenever a mega star comes about, they're compared to Jordan. LeBron was just one in a long line of many that came and went.
It's okay chillout 👏👏dude this is just a past game we all know how MJ and the bulls beat the Utah hands down.. Bulls greatest revenge was denying Utah twice in a row in the finals!👍👍👍 besides MJ did a great job in this vid!

Carmelo Anthony is the greatest player or all time. 😂 Or is that most selfish of all time at the expense of his team.
But that’s not why he’s better…it’s the fact he’s plays like that 95 games a year bear minimum
"Taken away by Karl Malone" ... then Jordan made it personal, took the ball from Malone, something Malone will never forget
Michael is the Greatest NBA player of all time. I Love You Mama. ✌️🏀☀️😇🌙👑💪

Scored 44 points in a loss lol crazy still couldn't stop him
Rodman with the unnecessary push on Hornacek after the foul might have cost them the game. MJ didn’t look happy.
2:37 even Phil lowkey was like thank God i don’t gotta guard THAT 😂
Jordan's crossover was tight and precise

Hi, could you plz post some highlights from 88's MJ? Thanks.
Why does 70’s and 80’s nba footage look way clearer than 90’s footage?
MJ had too much selfconfidence
I wonder if Bryan Russell still have nightmares about Jordan? 🤔

I think, IIRC, they changed the court by mid-season. I know the court was changed by the time the playoffs rolled around.

In 97 got new court 4 the finals
Lol jazz rocking there new jersey but there home court is not with it 😂
GOAT didn’t have any 81 or 100 point games because he didn’t want to....
Especially his first 3 peat run....
I want jordan miss shots. Or this match full vision. Please this video update. I want jump shot after two other player cross no goal.
Thank you. I gave no cash to give you. But subscribed long ago
The Jazz shouldn’t have changed the team logo in midseason
His midrange is wet
I wonder when the Jazz finally updated their court for this season
G.O.A.T.
2:30 Get REKT
🍒 12's💎
If lebron had played in mj era first thing he would have done was get traded to the bulls. Lol
Refs handed that to Utah with the flagrant on Rodman in an intentional foul situation.
Nah, Rodman deserved it for the push at the end. Not sure about tossing him out tho, seemed excessive.
Ant is the next new face of the league and who are people comparing him to?? Not LeBron. Whenever a mega star comes about, they're compared to Jordan. LeBron was just one in a long line of many that came and went.
Fucking with Rodman.
Comments are disgusting. Go watch some kd highlights
MrCris487 - please. KD doesn't have half MJ's moves. And doesn't come close overall. Kids are laughable today.
KD has faked the covid bc he was taking adrenochrome, aka child blood/ synthetic adrenalin #Q #QAnon #WWG1WGA
thats why kobe copied him 😁
Hornacek couldnt guard a fly
He was an average defender and a above average offensive player. He wasn’t a slouch.
All to watch Jordan and Bulls lose? Wack video.👎
