- Michael Jordan is without question the greatest player of all time. Only the young and misinformed would think otherwise. All who witnessed his entire career, even under the scrutinizing eye, we all realized one thing. This player, Michael Jordan is similar to Muhammad Ali. They can immitate, they can try to duplicate, the fact remains the same. Nothing compares to the original.
Even those who mimmick MJ will never pull off his moves with the same level of effectiveness or efficiency. That has already been proven.
Considered basketball's greatest-ever player
Nicknames: His Airness, Air Jordan
Cut from his Wilmington NC basketball team as a sophomore; eventually made the team and led it to state championship
Won Sporting News' College Player of the Year (1983, 1984) and 1984's Naismith and Wooden awards
League leader in scoring, with 10 titles (1986-1993, 1996-1998)
On 2 Olympic Gold-Medal teams (1984, 1992)
In 1994 retired to play minor-league baseball
Bulls retired his #23 jersey when he left the game
Returned to basketball in 1995 and in 1996 became one of two (along with Willis Reed) to win MVP for regular season, All-Star Game and Finals, all in one year
Hosted Saturday Night Live (1991) and starred in Space Jam opposite Bugs Bunny and friends
Finished his career with 32,292 points, third place in scoring, and a career average 30.12 ppg, the best in NBA history
Always wore his University of N. Carolina shorts under his Bulls uniform for good luck
Worked with United Negro College Fund, Make-A-Wish Foundation, the Boys and Girls Clubs of America, Special Olympics and America's Promise
Selected to NBA's 50 All-Time Best Players (1996)
1988: playing against Utah Jazz, 6' 6" (198 cm) Jordan dunked over 6' 1" (185.4 cm), 175 lb. (80 k) John Stockton. A heckler razzed, "Why don't you dunk on somebody your own size?" In his next play, Jordan dunked again, this time on 6' 11" (210 cm), 285-lb. (129 k) center Melvin Turpin. He turned to the fan and asked, "Was he big enough?"
"Even when I'm old and grey, I won't be able to play it, but I'll still love the game." -- Michael Jordan
"I can accept failure, but I can't accept not trying." -- Michael Jordan
"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 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
"Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen." -- Michael Jordan
"Just play. Have fun. Enjoy the game." -- Michael Jordan
"One thing I believe to the fullest is that if you think and achieve as a team, the individual accolades will take care of themselves. Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships." -- Michael Jordan
"If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it." -- Michael Jordan
"Once Michael gets up there he says, 'Well, maybe I'll just hang up here in the air for a while, just sit back.' Then all of a sudden, he says, 'Well, maybe I'll 360. No I changed my mind. I'll go up on the other side.' He's just incredible." -- Magic Johnson, on Michael Jordan's aerial artistry
"That play was 'Give the ball to Michael and everyone else get the @##@#% out of the way." -- Chicago Bulls head coach Doug Collins, on "The Shot" made by Jordan that helped the Bulls beat the Cavaliers in game five of 1989's Eastern Conference First Round
"You will always see MJ's influences on the game. All you need to do is turn on any NBA game and you can see how MJ influenced many players with his playing style and desire. Just watch one game with LeBron James or Kobe Bryant and you will see MJ's influences on their playing style instantly." - Bruce Blitz
Kobe Bryant never has clocked his 40 yard dash because it's probably in the 4.6's. There's nothing wrong with that. I would estimate that LeBron is a 4.5 athlete. There is documentation that has LeBron between 4.5 and 4..7. For instance Cedric Benson was a high high draft pick, #4 overall and he ran a 4.6. Running a 4.6 is still pretty fast and Kobe is pretty fast.
Michael Jordan is on record for running a 4.3 with Deion Sanders. Jordan had a 48" vertical
Ill even go one further, this is the only guy in pro sports who reminds me of the way Jordan ran. McFadden and Jordan have similar strides. Funny that there are accounts of Jordan running a 4.2 and McFadden just ran in the high 4.2's. This guy reminds me of MJ with the way he runs:

this is what Jordan's 40 yard dash looked like:

ive heard so many people insult jordan and call him names and everything.. but he has more heart and more love for basketball than any other player ive seen.. i mean even look hes long retired and still cant go away from basketball.. you can say what you want about his performance but u cant argue that he doesnt love the game!! long live micheal!!! go onto inspire us micheal!!
When you train or study so much and you go to another level, you feel so fucking good that you can only ball out! That's how I guess Michael Jordan felt.
Michael Jordan will always be the Mr. Basketball forever!!!
Creativity at it's best...
Unbelievable athlete and player...
What can you say about him?
Just that he was...is...and will be the
greatest of all time.
I stopped watching NBA after his
retirement. I am a very lucky guy that I
had the previlage to watch him play.
Thank you for the great moment MJ23!
a prime jordan will still be the best in whatever era you may put him in. a 40 yr. old jordan still bombing 40+ points simply the best.
haha i watched this as a youngster, takes me down memory lane...damn jordan cant be matched, ever..
Michael Jordan is the absolutely best ever. I remember those battles Bulls versus Knicks. Oh man those were awesome.
I don't even know why people compare Jordan to anyone. There isn't any comparison. He's the best, ever; from his abilities, charisma, and knowledge of the game. NBA will never be the same w/out him. The level of games played today has down graded tremendously and are not much of a joy to watch them!
I don't play basketball but he's one of the most spectacular sportsman who ever lived.
Great players who would have won a ring IF Jordan never played basketball: Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, John Stockton, Karl Malone, Reggie Miller, Shawn Kemp, Gary Payton, Kevin Johnson, ... I'm sure there are more names I'm forgetting.
Look at 4:27 Kevin Mchale's face was priceless. Jordan was really unstoppable and that time it was the arrival of the GOAT
still amazing to watch that kind of videos! thanks for upload guys!
what an incredible man!
once i get the ball you're at my mercy of whatever i want to do, and there's nothing you can do or say about it.
the greatest player in all sports history!
Jordan was, is, and always will be the best NBA player of all time He did not just capture one generation he captured many
They don't even show when he was talking trash on the freethrow line and shot the ball with his eyes closed, made it, smiled and told the rookie he was trash talking with, "Welcome to the NBA" Classic!!!
5:30 - 5:37, damn that dude can jump... i'm surprised he never broke his legs on landing
when it comes to NBA MJ is tha G.O.A.T. NC accepts your thanks.
People who were not basketball fans would sit mesmerized by Jordan.
The feeling is like you own the ball, you own the game, you the guy who is guarding you, you can actually play him like a puppet ... that the secret formula to become LEGENDARYYYYYYYYYYYYY !!!!!!
that fast break at 2:23 ... just WOW. That flight is amazing :)
I love you michael jordan aside from the fact that you are one of the best when it comes to basketball, you are also the MOST GOODLOOKING GUY in NBA very handsome american Ive ever seen, i like you so much, your smile puts me in a very good mood everyday...God Bless You...
MICHAEL JORDAN (MJ) one of Americas Greatest Icon and Symbol...
I love you Idol...Mahal Kita
Vince from Manila Philippines
Jordan was simply the best player to ever play the game EVER..i can say this as a lifelong Celtics fan who grew up watching Bird, McHale and Parish, some may argue Russel around here and i agree Championship wise (11 to jordans 6) but no one was more dominating, or captivating in the NBA.. I will say this though.Yes he scored 63 against Boston in the playoffs early in his career, But the Celtics still won that game
The greatest offensive player of all time. He could attack you like no one else ever could. Hes one of the greatest defensive players of all time. I could go on and on but most of you know there is just no one else and he is the greatest.
The frigging Bruce Lee of basketball... he IS the ball.
I did not witness Jordans entire career but I have seen everything special that he has done and there is no question he is the greatest of all time.
michael is the greatest of all time, it will take a generation or 2 before another mj ever comes along
I miss watching him play....he was a man among boys....BEST EVER
Thank God I was alive to witness the G.O.A.T. I wasnt born during Muahamad Ali did his thing but I dont regret it cuz MJ is bigger than Ali in fact he was and still is larger than life. There will be no one like him in the near future..or maybe never considering what he brought to the game of basketball. Truly a living legend. Thanks MJ for living the same period as I.
I would be just as good if i were 6'6, black, super athletic, had a perfect mid-range jumper, had ice in my veins, insanely competitive, fundamentally perfect, and if i had no regard for human life...
The guy won everything, every individual and team award, he was a natural born competitor and killer of the game.
Won every nba final series he played...not as all the other present and past "greats" that at least lost one, Lebron, Kobe, Magic, Bird, Jabbar, Chamberlain, O'neal and so on...
he crosses the boundary of fantasy and reality.. thanks MJ23 you are in comparable
Jordan = unstoppable
we already witnessed the best player ever to play the game..
he's the best there is the best there was and the best there ever will be thats michael jordan the greatest of all time in the nba
awesome vid brings back childhood memories seening him play was never boring much love mj
everything he shot.... went in. hes just not a human
Is impossible to grasp the way this magnificent man play basketball, I get goosebumps when I see his stuff.
Michael: THE BEST THERE EVER WAS, THE BEST THERE EVER WILL BE. Michael, the greatest of all time. Thanks Michael
MJ:one of a kind...hope he play again!even not like that...important is we will see again jordan inside the court..i miss it so much..
the heart of a champion.. the legend.. and the greatest of all time..
Thats real man! 300% agree. I remember the game he played when he had like a stomach virus or the flu and this dude scored 36 points!!!! while SICK!! That will drain the confidence of a team right there!
"That play was 'Give the ball to Michael and everyone else get the @##@#% out of the way." -- Chicago Bulls head coach Doug Collins, on "The Shot" made by Jordan that helped the Bulls beat the Cavaliers in game five of 1989's Eastern Conference First Round
I definitely agree. Jordan is, was, and will forever be the greatest.
so beautiful to watch. when he takes the air creation begins
Wow....Four on one, he STILL scored!!
i only have one thing to add to this well written comment and thats Jordan was the epitome of an athlete. On and off the court Jordan was humble respectful, but all ways full of confidence and respect. He is what all up-and-coming athletes should inspire to be like. Its a shame his career had to end but, im glad it did becuase i can't wait to see if someone out there is willing to put in the effort to be even half of what he was and is.
peace
what the..-
i have never seen this before!!!!!!
thanks for the upload!!
MJ23 G.O.A.T
That dude was a beast. I didn't realize how cut up he was until I started watching these "vintage" videos.
Some of those shots are absolutely ridiculous! If I had to pick an era of MJ's career that just from a highlight perspective I enjoyed the most....it would have to be the early years. 85-91. Some of those shots in slow motion are absolutely breathtaking. I swear to God that watching him in this video is like watching visual art. Jordan > EVERYONE!
BASKETBALL PERFECTION.... Great highlights
Who said that Mike wasn`t power dunker too? His dunks look so good, graceful, that most of people can`t see his power.
if there was any one in the nba that you wouldnt mind getting posterized by .....ITS MICHAEL JORDAN!
the thing i love about jordan rather than hes the best b-bal player ever. is that he loves the game to
no lebron, no kobe, no one ever compare to the great michael jordan
The greatesT ever, the greatest off all time. Simply : THE BEST EVER and will ever be.
why am i not 10 years older then i could see all of he's games :( GREATEST PLAYER
man i dont even wanna be on the same court with this guy for 48 minutes!!!!!!!!..........hes a nightmare!!!!!!!
HOLY...
SHIT...
yo he could fly. like literally fly.
he couldnt b denied n the way he palms the ball n explodes through n over double teams.WOW...
G.O.A.T
G.O.A.T
2:30 I remember that game... amazing -he is the greatest of all time!

This guy is LEGEND. My inspiration in basketball ever since i started playing...
amazing video
OMG!!! 5.29 n 5.35 ...truly awesome!!!! at 5.35 HE"S FLYING. i wanna go there...jordan era..
"That there had been even one Michael Jordan seemed in retrospect something of a genetic fluke, and the idea that anyone would arrive in so short a span of time and do what he did both on and off the court seemed highly unlikely."
- David Halberstam (Playing for Keeps: Michael Jordan and the World He Made)
5:32 was sick!
he would be a man of the future today.
King Of Kings! MJ
old lady in Celtic game: "FUCKIN MICHAEL!!!"
by just watching the first 10 seconds of this video i already was convinced michael is the best...
nobody does it better, nor compare.. period!
once someone gets offensive and defensive player of the year the same year, maybe ill consider them up there with jordan
the best is michael jordan for all times
Thank God this is what I witnessed growing up in Chicago.
Sorry about the garbage that Cleveland witnessed though.
greatest athlete ever!!!!!!
There's Michael Jordan....then there's everyone else.
The biggest and the best........better than the rest.....EVER!
greatest is not realy u do but what u are but this man is won 6 champions and no one can ever take those moments from you
Loved it, now this is good quality no doubt
Best Player Ever, hands down.
jordan the greatest basketball player of all time
Jordan isn't one in a million, he's one in 100 million.
gr8 vid, thanks, i really enjoyed!
I wish he had never retired.
im glad i was born while MJ is still playing the game! i can tell my kids i've watched those games LMAO! as all people says nobody beats the best 4 me MJ is the best even lebron nor kobe wont ever top his game! no offense they are my fav players on the league!
fasten your seatbelts here comes mr Jordan.
he would destroy anyone on his way ANYONE !
5:27 to 5:32 Gives me chills. damn Jordan u the greatest ever to ever play the game!
the record 63 in a playoff game still stands and will stand for a long time and for those of u who think Kobes just as good learn more about basketball kobes good but not even close to the level of play that Jordan Magic and Bird were on
and this why Jordan is the greatest of all time
Yeah this one is a must favorite. Great quality. Now youtube finally allows bigger files.
idolizes by the current stars today, jordan simply dominated the league in every single aspect.
The man, the myth, THA LEGEND...B-B-B-BOOOYA!!!!!!
That Boston game that he scored 63 points in, they couldn't even stop him with 4 players on him at 3:29....
You see him get fouled at 6:44 and still make it. Jordan is about 2 or 3 times better than any other player in NBA history. Greatest athlete to ever.
THANKS JORDAN
THE LEGEND AMONG LEGENDS!!!!
the mans got talent, excellent video!
The problem with all the other players is that they cannot fly, making them extremely underpowered to Jordan
Ìt's a great vid man i really liked it!
Keep up the good work!
Jordan is the best player ever !
Nobody has dominated a game like Jordan did.
watching videos of michael jordan are like so inspiring and u feel like nobody will ever again reach that level. but the thing michael proved was that anything is possible. hope fully if we ever do see another player as good as him he wont be to much of a show off or a dick.
