      That is almost exactly what I was gonna say, I watched nearly all his games from 1991 until he left the Bulls, and I never saw an athlete take over a game in ANY sport like he did. His drive, and competitive spirit were second to none. The man HATED losing, and would treat practices like game 7 of the Finals, giving team mates black eyes, and shit if he felt like you weren't putting in work. Funny thing is I'm not really a Bulls fan, I'm a NY sport fan, but Jordan is my favorite to watch of all time. Whenever people compare him to Lebron, or a kobe I laugh and shake my head knowing that person never was able to watch Jordan nearly everyday in his NBA career, because if you had, there is no comparison.
      You need to watch 7 stories that prove he is not a human.

    12:35 - the great thing about that move is it was against the Detroit Pistons. At that time the Pistons couldn't beat Jordan (I mean no one could) and the Pistons, known as "The Bad Boys" for their rough and physical style of play, came up with "The Jordan Rules" - basically they decided to hit him as much and as hard as possible when he drove to the basket. In this play, Bill Laimbeer is winding up to deliver a hard hit and Jordan side steps him, avoids the hit and still hits the basket. Love it!

      @Rad J Best Complete Basketball player? Jordan was a 10x scoring champ, a 9x first team all-defensive player, 3x Steals leader, and Defensive player of the year. You can't get more complete than that. Magic was more complete than LeBron. A far better passer, can score and rebound at will, was a steals leader, and actually played Center in the Finals and scored 41 in place of injured Kareem. Had he not retired so early, Magic would be #1 in career triple doubles.
      Comparing the Cavs when Lebron left to when Jordan first left the Bulls is one of the most flawed arguments lebron fans use. When Lebron left, 10 other players including the entire coaching staff left, pretty much starting over from scratch. When Jordan retired, they still had virtually the entire roster and coaching staff that won 3 straight championships. And even then, they got put out in the 2nd round without Jordan.

    He is the GOAT. There is a reason why people say Jerry Rice/Tom Brady, Wayne Gretzky, Mayweather, etc are the Michael Jordan's of their sports. He set the standard for greatness. You can write out all of his accomplishments and see how impressive he was, but the best way to watch Jordan is to see him play. Clutch, Leadership, competitive, skilled, footwork, hops, defense, steals, he had everything. Most of his highlights have a story behind them. The flue game where he played sick. The 5 3-pointers in a half where the media said that Clyde Drexler is the better three point shooter. The shot where Jordan won against the Cavaliers. The dunk on Matumbo where Matumbo said that Jordan will never dunk on him and he did. Good video to watch is Michael Jordan - Air Jordan (Greatest Jordan Video on RUclips)

    Watching MJ is watching a masterclass of basketball fundamentals. Jordan had the greatest talent combined with an unwavering work ethic. This man ran a 4.6 40 yard dash his rookie year, came back the next year running a 4.2 - 4.3 Mike had limitless gears. You took your game to the next level and Mike would take his to a level above yours, no matter who he was playing against. He's simply the greatest ever. Almost twenty years since he retired and in a recent poll he is STILL the most popular athlete in the U.S. He's a national treasure. I'm just grateful to have witnessed his career unfold in real time. His games hold a special place in my heart because my dad and I never missed a game on TV, we became very close because of that and I treasure those memories. Watch Kobe (rest in peace) next. If Jordan is 1 then Kobe is 1a. Just slightly below MJ but to me, he's the only guy you can mention in the same breath as Mike and Mike himself acknowledged it.

He wasn't the most gifted, he wasn't the fastest and he wasn't the biggest, but he was my favorite to watch because you never knew what he would do next. I promise he will blow your mind.

    He was the GOAT because he completely had his way with every superstar he went against for nearly his whole career. These were not scrubs, most of these teams had several hall of fame players on their rosters. He is the reason many of those superstars retired without a championship. His defense was legendary. Mike and Scottie would relish at teaming up on the defensive end and shutting down the other teams top players. And he could get you 50 points in a a game AND the game winning shot if you need it. I can't tell you that this is statistically correct, but I watched him personally hit more game winners than miss them. And by a large margin.

    Hey Courtney! You mentioned "he's so tall in comparison" but, at 6'6" (1.98m), he was actually very average for the NBA. There were players much, much taller trying to cover him. He seems so tall because of his incredible vertical jump, hence his nickname... "Air Jordan". Cheers.

    A lot of the highlights here were not particularly flashy, but it was more about the magnitude of the game and what he did. It's one of those things you had to see when it actually happened, if you know what i mean. Great reaction by the way!

    When I was living in Auckland I remember we got Sky Tv in 1987 and come NBA basketball season we would be watching every Bulls game and if we missed any Bulls game we would tape the game. He is simply the best!
