- A rare documentary of Michael Jordan by Jeannie Morris. Her short story visits Michael's family in North Carolina, and provides interviews with family members, coaches, and Michael himself.
This is the only recording I have found. I recorded this myself on Beta Tape in 1986.

You can really see how much Michael Jordan loved and respected his parents. They seemed like cool people.
Damn...i miss 80s...i cannot believe how life was more simple and joyfull back that..
me too... granted, I wasn't born until the 90s
I want to live in the 80s but I was born in the 2000s
The loonies still didn't took over, that's why.
Ronald Reagan ❤
Shoutout to his parents, both seem to be intelligent, articulate, classy, confident people. Can see where MJ got his personality and values from
Boy you really don't know do you, his dad was molesting Michael's sister
Caesar Vespasian Thats quite an accusation. How bout some sources/proof?
@@CaesarCassius, stop lying
@Feezie F-Baby, he's making shit up cuz he's a hater I've never heard no one on this planet say that and neither has he.
Brenda Gray no they may be some truth to it I heard the same thing somewhere besides him So he must of read it somewhere if you check wiki there’s information about it
Any game footage of Michael Jordan shot on 16-35mm film stock needs to be preserved, properly remastered and shown to everyone. It would be a disservice to his legacy if its not. He really is a national treasure. Same goes for Michael Jackson, Ali, Prince, and many others who have changed culture forever.
blade brown I agree 100%
blade brown blade brown
criterion should do an edition containing rare jordan documentary footage. sort of like the edition they did for jfk....seriously he really is an american treasure.
@@milanr.kundera5515 But there is no known video of Michael Jordan playing for Laney, other than a 4-second clip of him dunking in the 11th grade. That's it.
Prince excluded.
Did anyone hear MJ talking about a losing mentality and he wasn’t going to stand for it!!! That was powerful.....
@1thug aka Hollywood Coke!! exactly my brother
These commercials makes this seem so much more authentic
Bruh this was in 86' he predicted he should have a championship in 5 yrs which he did win 91' "damn goat"
Did they get pippen. The following draft
@@micahwilson8077 I believe so in 87
It was actually recorded in ‘87. He was even earlier than 5 years!
That's what I came in the comments to say!...bananas
@@shockadelica8661 it premiered on 23/06/1986, according to TMDB
They were saying things like "he's the best player I ever seen play" in 1986!!!!!! Just crazy
Like Coach Knight said. Top Athleticism, top competitiveness, top skilled. A very rare combination of all 3 traits.
Silver Ocean Zion
That vertical jump at 17:47 amazing
Its amazing how mike talks like his dad when he gets a little older, they have like same speech patterns
Facts
hi hi I noticed that also
Mike copied/ inherited alot from his dad including sticking out his tongue while doing work
I believe they call that "genetics"
@@missayawk James' dad (Mike's grandad) used to stick out his tongue when he'd concentrate too.
20 years old. I could not imagine myself speaking like MJ . Clever,eloquent speaking and handsome young GOAT!
crazy how much of an icon he already was then and he didn't even win his first championship yet. truly amazing
I was a kid in the 80s.. Honestly He was so great even before he accomplished anything he was considered the GOAT.. Just look at Coach Knights endorsement
And LeBron was an icon while in H.S before his 1st NBA check and never played college ball.
@@MrShishi Find anybody else besides coach Knight who endorsed MJ's future greatness.If everybody knew MJ was gonna be the so called GOAT he would've been the #1 pick OVER Akeem.Even though big men and the "twin tower" mentality was the rage, he should've still been #1.NOBODY KNEW.
@Feezie F-Baby I totally understand everything you wrote.Being the same age as MJ I was there EVERY step of his career from H.S.It was destined for MJ to go to Chicago.If Patrick Ewing didn't promise his mom that he would stay 4yrs and get his degree guess who would've been #1 in the '84 draft? Then Akeem would've went 2nd to play with his college teammate in Portland and MJ STILL #3.He DID make a huge jump from freshman to sophomore year, but his play in the Olympics is really what propelled him to a possible #1 pick and Bobby Knight ( who coached the team) to say what he said seeing him on a everyday basis from tryouts to Olympic play.So MJ was going #3 ANYWAY, unless Bobby Knight was GM for the Rockets....NOBODY was picking MJ over Ewing or Akeem, and I guess Bowie.
@@missayawk Yeah I was more so referring his first few years in the league. Only Coach knigh said he was the Greatest player he's even seen before turning pro.
These commercials bring back so many memories! My goodness I’d forgotten all about them!
That was the best part
God Bless & Well Done to James & Deloris Jordan! Michael developed into the greatest athlete & clutch performer I've ever witnessed!
Boy you really don't know do you, his dad was molesting Michael's sister
Love hearing jordan's dads thoughts on juanita and michael getting married, thoughtful, honest, wise, respectful
Mike Was so Humble...
"WAS"
After 1992 he became really narcissistic and full of himself.
Dope rap in the beginning. I miss the 80s and early 90s golden era of sports and hip hop
I love these 80s commercials!!
Wow! this is treasure.... thank you for sharing
I really miss the 80's, glad I got to experience their buzz
The dunk at 9:25 is one of my favorite dunks of his and I have seen it replayed at least 1000 times, but have never seen that angle from the crowd.
Great find man, it seems like Mike always had the best docs lol
Jordan or not, theres just *something* about the 80's. A spark, upbeat, optimistic, less political time.
Cocaine
80's were violent af, people would literally get jumped for no reason.
Crack
@Jeff B Yup, better in EVERY way
@Jeff B you snowflake millenials would melt away in 5 minutes in the 80's, thankfully
Sometimes you have to give up good things to achieve better things "MJ" GOAT
This is gold!
1 min and 48 seconds and my eyes are moist. On my soul, I thank you so much for this!!! Most will never EVER FULLY UNDERSTAND OR APPRECIATE WHAT MICHAEL J. JORDAN DID TO THE WORLD!!!!
True
Man this is great footage thank you I thought I seen it all until now
Michael was great when this video was made but man oh man what he would become GOAT!!!
Michael looks like BOTH his parents.Who by the way did an incredible job at raising him and his siblings who are all productive members of society.
I can remember watching those commercials as a kid back in the 80's.. Great stuff!
Michael Jordan genius the best player Basketball of history NBA,USA in WORLD
awe man this is classic footage right here, good looks
Mr. Knight said a mouth full dat still holds weight 30 sum years later
💯
@1thug aka Hollywood Coke!! absolutely lol 😂
What we have learned 35 years later......Juanita certainly did have to share MJ to a lot of others lol. Every Beer commercial still maintains they are made from natural spring water and is the best, and the same clothing style has came back
Bobby Knight at 12:10 in 86 is all you need to hear here.
Facts
that was actually 84 when Jordan played on the Olympic team before his rookie season
I think that this is another reason that Isiah Thomas doesn't care for Jordan too much. Zeek won a 'Chip w/ Coach Knight at Indiana the year before Jordan won. Then to top it off, Jordan got more love in Zeek's hometown (Chicago)...
Till this day Mike's "Kiss The Rim" dunks were the most beautiful in-game dunks I've ever seen.
These are great... He was such a superstar taking the league by storm. Individually he was the best in the league and everyone knew it year 1.... It stayed that way through 98'
I feel for those kids of today that never saw him play. There was an aura around this dude like no other player. Everyone adored him... He understood his place as the role model and brought people together.
That rap was something else!
if you have seen the last dance, you can see MJ changed his treatment with the media (as he should be), after 1993. before he became a champion , the media for the most part was doing real journalism and then he became c champion and then things happen. I read it in books too about MJ, he didn't trust the media the same after what they did to him and his family in the 1992-93 season. Mj didnt change, the way he speak clearly in the last dance but surely he guarded and isolated himself more when he came back in 1995 and beyond.
Great parents.
Yes
Dynomite this man is incredible he was doing this almost 30 plus years ago. You'll miss out this guy is from my generation he made watching NBA phenomenal he is the baddest cat that laced up a pair of sneakers
1994 Born Ladies and Gentlemen & I’m blessed to of witnessed all I have. Truly
It was at that moment when she gave MJ an 8 on that Dunk, that the relationship wasn't going to last a very long time 🤣😂
What you need is an NBA Title- Reporter
Right, which i hope will come within the next 5 years.. - Michael Jordan.
True to his words, it came in 1991..
Thanks for sharing this video! Classic piece on the GOAT!
@17:48 talks about being a good defensive player, few years later becomes the first guard ever to win DPoY, learn about this mindset people, learn.
MJ was not the first guard ever to win DPOY. Sidney Moncrief, Alvin Robertson and Michael Cooper all won the award prior to Jordan winning it.
Im looking and watching all this 80's 70's and specifically the 60's they were all well spoken. They don't mumble with "um" and say something like "you know" or "stuff like that". I'm starting to believe they have a higher standard in teaching at school.
Juanita: gave Michael an 8 on the dunk
MJ: Ok fine. That's when it got personal to me.
Jesus 3,000 points in a season...
His early career is the most fun to watch. Much more exciting than all the post-ups, fade-aways, and perimeter play of his late career.
I agree but his mature time was as well.
@@3none yes, he became deadlier when he matured, more confident.
This is 3 years in and he was already a national phenom... That's after missing most of his 2nd season with a fractured foot....
I got those shoes in your thumbnail when they first came out (red toe, black toe was not on market). I wore them to school. I would say 90% of my classmates had no clue that they were Jordan's shoes, and probably 75% didn't even know who Jordan was.
LeBron was a national phenom in H.S
patrick y the difference in the evolution of marketing, scouting, and more opportunities for student athletes because of what MJ brought to the league. As Wilt Chamberlain credited MJ for the global marketing, increase in pay for the players, endorsements, etc. He also stated that every player owes a portion of their check to MJ.
@@Sean_78 I understand you're looking at his influence in a global and economic sense.Not to mention the boys and girls who saw the 1st Dream Team and wanted to pick up a ball.MJ is the face, but you can say it started with Magic and Bird.David Stern's vision, Agent David Falk, Phil Knight and lesser names behind the scenes...I was just talking straight basketball.But if you want to look at the TOTALITY.I would then say he's the GOAT.
@Feezie F-Baby From the late 80"s early 90's to today much more fun for the players as far as travel is concerned.I don't know how tall you are, but try being over 6'5" and sitting on a cramped bus or car after running up and down the court for 30+ minutes in canvas sneakers.No doubt the basketball life is better than doing manual labor.Especially if you LOVE playing ( alot of players really don't love the game believe it or not). I just think comparing players by eras ( because they went through the same rules/ circumstances) is fair.Some players ( MJ, Kobe,LeBron etc) would be great in ANY era because they love the game and would play for free.But some players who are considered very good/ great would not fare as well in the 50's and 60's.
Jordan was even GOAT before he won championships
At 19:35 Jordan predicts a championship in 91'
Always loved the killer tenacity on the court and classy demeanor off the court.
Amazing upload. Thanks again for sharing. Look forward to more, I hope?! ;-)
(8:40) Jordan's father was given sage advice on not being committed in a relationship while you're a professional athlete.
Boy you really don't know do you, his dad was molesting Michael's sister
Care to bless us with some links?
@@Mo1683 ... Michael's older sister accused her father in the media for molesting her back in 2003... that's all I remember
Can we just stop the comparison?......to ANYONE!!!!!
Wait a minute the dude got drafted and went back in the summers and got his degree? He didn't get an honorary like most do today? Thats...crazy man.
He likely would have finished spring 1985 if he would have stayed his senior year.
Greatness and Intelligence
Not too mention in mid 1980s there were no online courses maybe rare correspondence.
That’s because Michael knew how to work for his success. He never took any shortcuts or expected greatness to come his way right off the bat.
That was common thi g to do back in the day
Great find, but it's actually a 1987 documentary.
Cool jacket he's wearing.
Dean Smith telling you to leave for the NBA and not stay to develop more speaks volumes to the caliber of player Jordan was! Everybody knows Michael is the greatest basketball player ever, with Kobe being 2nd, some will say Kareem and that's fair enough too being no one has beaten Kareem's scoring record yet.
Kobe is not widely considered 2nd best people nowadays would say Lebron (including me)
I was cracking up over James playing pool without the cue ball.
2:14 Holy shiiite.....a young, pre-Wonder Years Fred Savage in Chevy ad!!!!
Awesome Jordan stuff thank you!
Dang! He was even washing his own game uniform! The Bulls must have been really cheap!
The 80s jump started creativity.
And the commercials? This is a great video.
Makes me want to buy an '86 Chevy Cavalier wagon so bad...lol
I want to go out to a bar in the 80s and drink that beer. Everything just seemed so cool and chill.
I had an 87 Chevy Astro Van. That was fun.
Just let your soul glow baby✌
"No One Can EVER Take His Place!" GOAT! ❤❤❤
Just time travelled upon hitting the play button.
Wow the nostalgia in these commercials
I’m not a bachelor and I still have to wash clothes and cook. 😔
I'm born and raised in Chicago and I remember this and the commercials
Bobby had it right from day 1
And he was the ONLY ONE.Believe me....if you told ppl back then that MJ would be greater than Dr J, they would've looked at you crazy.
Great upload! And it is 1987.
Yupp. That was the 87 all star dunk contest.
Thanks man Nuff respect ✊
BOY look at that CURL...😨..them dam 80's..Smh
"The Curl Looked Wet But It Was Dry."- Deion Sanders
80s. When there were no internet.
Wow Bob Knight is capable of giving compliments!
Only the greatness of MJ could do that.
19:15 best part.
Thank u!
This is sensational and will hopefully teach young people about Beta.
@Ulysses432 the competitor to the vhs back then. Had superior recording but tapes were shorter.
😂😂😂
😲😲😲 this so classic
I miss documentaries like these..you don't see this in the NBA nowadays..the NBA is just a very soft basketball league.
Simpler times
It really wasn’t, you were just younger.
@@sbrooks904 simpler, not better.
Perfect song choice at the end ("Human").
22 people gave a Thumbs Down, why? And if you say LeBron James, why do you think that he wears number 23? And let me know when LeBron wins 2 Gold Medals, NCAA Basketball Champion, and 6 rings. MJ damn sure didn't have to go chasing any of them either. If LeBron is the King, then MJ is Genghis Khan..
Ur the best...😘♥️✌😜🤣🏀❤
@ 5:13 shows the GOAT's view with regards to tanking for lottery position--before 'tanking' was even a thing
awesome channel dude!
The Greatest Ever - Old Style Beer !
Michael Jordan had a Hip Hop Vibe to him and. That is why the kids in the streets looked up to him. He made kids want to play basketball and buy his sneakers.
Blissful solitude of legend competitive mind Jordan
wow, THE RAP OF this DUDE WERE SO DOPE BACK IN THE day!
Wow...so if Dean Smith didn't persuade Michael to go into 84' draft, he would be most likely a Knick instead of Ewing!
LOL and us New Yorkers would have been on cloud 9 hahaha
Blagoje Divac probably not it was still a big man era. MJ went after 2 seven footers in the 84 draft. I think if he came out in 85 Ewing is still #1 and MJ might have gone to Indiana at #2 but it’s still possible he could’ve dropped to #4 and gone to Seattle. The clippers picked Benoit Benjamin at #3 who was another 7 footer.
Ewing would have still been the first pick. He was such an impactful college player I dont think there's even a question he'd have been taken first
Gotta disagree with that, given that at the time big men were the corner stones of most successful franchises. Ewing probably would've still been drafted first.
@@JCR1992 EXACTLY.Nobody except Bobby Knight would've chose MJ over Ewing.Big men were still the top choice over smaller players, plus Ewing had a better college career than MJ and was expected to be #1 since graduating from H.S.If Ewing didn't promise his mom ( before she died) that he would get his degree, he would've been the #1 pick in '84.Akeem would've went #2 to Portland and Chicago would've had a tough decision to make ( at that time).
Jordan been the Goat from day he step in the league
12:42 is the moment when isaiah thomas hated Jordan lol
I remember these Ads. 😭
