Jordan was Basketball Incarnate. I feel legit sad for people who can't see the obvious difference in Jordan's athletic gifts and superior skills, the fastest first step and best hang time ever.
Now imagine this dude playing in the open style game they play today. Bringing the ball up like most superstars do with all that space. Every highlight has 8 dudes in the paint he has to maneuver through. Now it would be one move at the 3 pt line and a straight line to the rim with no centers to rim protect. Stop and pull up on a dime with the statically the best mid range shot of all time. Imagine how ungradable lebron would be with a 50% jumper instead of his 37% outside 3 feet jumper. Plus a above average freethrow. He'd obviously practice 3's and be at least average. He'd average 40 no doubt about it with the different rules. Booker is half the athlete with a lot of skill and drops crazy numbers. MJ is the greatest athlete in bball history and has as alllll the skill
in the first play Mike said ok enough of this bullshit..Also... Mike doesnt travel..even though he regularly flew. I cant remember C Oakley playing for the Bull though.
simply just on another level. There's MJ and then there are the rest. incomparable. Nuff said
EVER seen Lebron play this hard??? MJ played like this every night and he never took time off during the season "to rest"!!!!

MJ had the highest peak... lebron will have the longest one... different eras but MJ is my GOAT
Great reaction
Jordan, if hasn’t already, needs to put out a box set of all of his favorites. Hand picked with a little narration.
4.3 40 . 48" vertical. Too fast. Jumps to high. Alien. Elite skills. Alien
@JGreaxcts when you mentioned he dunked on his own teamate that reminded me of dominique wilkins. He had multiple dunked on his own teammate moments.
Hold up,that first play
