Hands down MJ is the GOAT. I have been following the NBA since 1968. I watched the amazing Willis Reed game when he came out with the injured knee. I followed MJ at UNC. Then throughout his entire NBA career. I watched all the great ones in over the last 5 decades. For those who follow the NBA in the 80s and 90s, you witnessed that Jordan was so far superior then the next top ten great players. Those top ten also said that MJ was so far above their abilities. He more talented, competitive, dominating relentless, fearless, confident, and he destroyed the competition. He changed and impacted the game itself and globally! Always played Offense & Defense every minute on the floor. Yes, if he didn't retire in 94' and most of 95'. Then continued playing in 99' - 01' along with going directly into the NBA from High School....50,000 points is not a question. MJ being considered the GOAT is not even a debate!!!!!!
Jordan is so great of a player.. that years later were still talking about his greatest moments.. even hall of famers are eluding to his chiefness on the court..... not only that ,a new generation has joined the chat ....it was so sensational to see him play ...
He is the GOAT... He was the most intense competitor in the history of sports. I am so glad that I got to witness MJ in his prime. If the Bulls were on WGN, I was watching.
There are few NBA legends that every NBA player reveres: Wilt Chamberlain, Larry Bird, Magic Johson and Michael Jordan. But the MJ stories are almost surreal!!
He was so good at creating space, whether it be from a ridiculous pivot spin move or a shoulder to the chest bump. The man just knew what it took to create that space. Effortlessly beautiful basketball. Love and miss those days maaaan🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I can’t be the only one that’s noticed almost every one of MJ’s buckets have ripped the twine squeaky clean, Including his 3 point buckets!!!! And to those paying close attention to this video, MJ shoots the ball with such ease and effortlessness that it looks like he’s shooting in slow motion…MJ doing G.O.A.T. things on the court as only he can do….👍✌️👽
@@knutt81 he once said its easier to get the offensive rebound if it misses cuz it bounces far out over the defending team when he aim for the back of the rim. Also, he has this delay in the air so no one can time his shot or shooting point for a block. He could do one motion and two motion and change direction mid-air if he wants during a drive. Crazy.
I agree with that commentator, despite getting 54 (missing a dunk no less), it never seemed MJ was hogging the ball. That was especially true during his championship seasons, everyone knew Bulls' offensive revolved around him, but it never seemed he was hogging the ball. Kobe didn't have that.
Nope he didn't and I love Kobe's game, but Mike was an efficient assassin. Every play ran through him and the defense could not do squat. Kobe was a volume scorer, dominant in stretchers, but hogged the rock 🪨
@@Getloose360 MJ knew how to come-off screens and pin-downs,Kobe didn't,he was just one-on-one player.Even tho most players ( except Tashyaun Prince ) couldn't guard him.
He was getting 50 without even shooting a lot of 3s. His career playoff high of 63. MJ took 0 3s. Let that sink in. 0 3 pointers and he still holds the record for most point score in a playoff game. If MJ took a lot 3s that game, he would hit 80-90.
Keep these stories going , I’m at home healing from a broken heel bone and your channel and these stories are helping get tru . It’s something new and not what majority are doing.. even tho I know about a lot of these stories it still got me watching because the fact you adding the game footage to it gives it that spice to it 👌🏾🔥💯
Yup. The most efficient perimeter player in history, actually averaged today's league average in 3pt percentage, and was equally potent in both ends. Few scorers are as relentless on defense as they are on the other end over 4qtrs+OT.
Damn, Nick, eleven quality videos posted in the last 10 days show why you're the GOAT of all things NBA 🏀... showcasing the OG's as well as the recent stars - with top level editing. Much appreciated!
Juxtapose Jordan talk with Lebrons. “Playoff mode activated” , y’all gon be sorry “ washed King” , trying to shoot free throws like Mike with eyes closed and some others I forgot. MJ backed all his talk up.
Remember watching them games growing up and as a Michigan fan 5 fan CWebb was my dude but when MJ was giving people the business it was beautiful to watch
All the way from Mission, Texas, my brothers and sisters it’s amazing how Black Jesus was in playing really basketball with the team he was challenging himself to see how much he would do from the game that was going to go on. He had a beautiful rhythm and amazing heart That he knew where he stand and how people react so we learn my brothers and sisters whatever you do try to do the best you can do that matters pass the love
I’ve had lotta comments, but I’ve never give you a comment compliments. I love your channel you were awesome. I appreciate the respect you have you’re the man my man.
Yo @Nick Smith thanks for the Jordan videos bro. The stories from different legends EPIC. Specially when I see the games I watched & remembered NON FICTIONAL for youngsters & adults. 🏀❤️💯
Great job on the vids. 👌 I be damned if Mj isn't STILL da best looking player, smooth, just purdy to watch. Like Feds at tennis, all stats aside, I know who I'd play like if I could, and it's Mj all day.
Nice Video! whats crazy is Im running out of stories I havent heard countless times bc I literally watch all the MJ stuff I can find... need some new people to come forward with things no one has heard...
The hardest part about guarding Jordan. Was you couldn't guard him one on one. Because if you press up on him. He fly right by you and take it to the basket. If you give him little space. He'll hit a jumper. Impossible task to guard him. His fadeaways were perfect. You had to worry about the pump fake too. Lol
@@jtremaine23 it was his college scouting report. Eventhough he won the championship in the finals with a jumpshot vs the Hoyas, it wasn't his most effective part of his game. Phil said he made that weakness into his strength. He's still the king of midrange til this day and age. As KD have said, he was a pure shooter. Eventhough he's one of the greatest finisher and arguably the greatest off-hand finisher, his shooting was still better known. He sort of patented the fadeaway in the latter part of his career. Less athletic but still elevates-no, -levitates when he took his jumpshots esp while doing fades. Nobody could elevate like MJ in their jumpshots. And he did that 20x a game while being defended. Who in their right mind would do jumpshots with al least 80+% of their max vert for at least 20x a game?! 😆 Saw a pic of him shooting while Kobe's head was on his knee level. Defenders weren't lying when they said "saw the bottom of them Nikes!"🤣🤣🤣
To this very day I remember that time when MJ fumbled the ball on that would be open dunk as the one time I was happy to watch him play against the L.a Lake Show back in the day. As clear as day. M.J is the 👽 G.O.A.T!
Van gundy once accused MJ of Intimidating players. Befriending them , then destroying them lol Jordan gave the knicks 55 i think the next night they had to play them 😂😂
This is one of the reasons why when people claim LeBron is better than MJ based off stats, I often laugh...back in the day people didn't care much about stats. Fantasy sports wasn't the thing it is today, so really it was just watching the dominance and aggression in real time, and there was never any player more dominant or aggressive than MJ.
Well, he lit up my favorite Indiana Hoosier, Calbert Chaney, for 55…..if I would have been guarding him, Jordan would have scored 350…..great job, Calbert
Thank you for this amazing context, much love and respect from Chicago… also, I haven’t ask, why do you pronounce “button” like that, where are you from? 😂
Can't get enough of stories like these....thanks Nick!
My pleasure!
💯 Facts
That fadeaway toward the baseline was a thing of beauty
It looked so slow mo wtf😭😭
Carmelo lebron and Kobe mastered it watchin jordan

Yes! Right on! 👍
💪🏾
How do you feel about femboy lechina James saying he is better than MJ?
It falls on deaf ears. LJ is a self proclaimed cheerleader! Jordan was an assassin!
Jordan is so great of a player.. that years later were still talking about his greatest moments.. even hall of famers are eluding to his chiefness on the court..... not only that ,a new generation has joined the chat ....it was so sensational to see him play ...
Years later everyone is still wearing his shoes too 💎
And every generational players is compared to him that alone make him the GOAT
Yes it really was!!! Started watching him play when I was 3 yrs old! 1984! 😂
@@frankcastle1216 this proves my point!
Facts, and what Kobe moments are there to relive or compare to Jordans?
He is the GOAT... He was the most intense competitor in the history of sports. I am so glad that I got to witness MJ in his prime. If the Bulls were on WGN, I was watching.
There are few NBA legends that every NBA player reveres: Wilt Chamberlain, Larry Bird, Magic Johson and Michael Jordan. But the MJ stories are almost surreal!!
Even 30 years later they are all still afraid of him.
He was the HIM of all HIMS.
And 2 of the 3 players you mentioned openly acknowledge that Jordan was better than them.
For those that don't know...The only person to shut Jordan down was coach Dean Smith at North Carolina by not playing him.
But MJ argues otherwise.
Facts and when he did he won oh and high school coach facts
Stop it. Jordan loves Smith dude u ignorant
Dean Smith was only one to share a court with M.J. and tell him sit the fuck down and Jordan had to do it. Lmao.
@@jeffrichards1537 derp no one plays thie whole game that’s what coach does. FOH
These videos bring back so many memories of good basketball games.
Glad they do!
AGREED.Back then there was WGN,TNT,TBS ( may have been one other I can't recall )so many games to watch.
It was the greatest time in my life watching MJ.
Same here i used to video tape all the bulls games
He was so good at creating space, whether it be from a ridiculous pivot spin move or a shoulder to the chest bump. The man just knew what it took to create that space. Effortlessly beautiful basketball. Love and miss those days maaaan🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
That confidence to say ur going for 50 and u had 54 😂 💪
MJ the only guy who can say something and prove it on the court.
Larry Bird, Gary Payton and Kobe might have some words for you.
Unlike others who "activate playoff mode" and misses the playoffs every time 😂
Muhammad Ali of Basketball,🤛

They're like sharpshooter bullets! Even off the back of the rim. Straight daggers 🗡 🗡
6 days of Bron soon🤔?

@@grasz He's the only person I have seen that gets almost horizontal to the ground when dunking. His Airness.
@@derrickmartin4097 no one has any stories.... still pending.

Facts. Michael's shots always came within the flow of the game
MJ let his teammates score in the first 3 quarters. Then he took over in the 4th if needed
Jordan makes 50 look so easy 😂
Imagine the spacings and rules today? Hahahaha! It's killing spree on each spot with high FG%.
He was getting 50 without even shooting a lot of 3s. His career playoff high of 63. MJ took 0 3s. Let that sink in. 0 3 pointers and he still holds the record for most point score in a playoff game. If MJ took a lot 3s that game, he would hit 80-90.
50 would be his average today
Michael Jordan told Carmelo get 7 a quarter
Right. In this era of 3s 50 points still a spectacle to behold..
"Try to kill him with kindness" 😂😂
thats how you deal with jordan
MJ had the best mid range game range ever
Appreciate the series and you being consistent. Keep up the great work!
Appreciate it!

I LOVE your videos. I sent them all to my 6 brothers. Thank you ❤️
He also had 13reb,7ast and 3blk with that 54pts
Best comment

wow
Crazy Wow
Never get tired of that story
Young people have no idea how good Michael Jordan was.
The reason nobody ever talks about Jordans ball skills is because he barely dribbled the ball, he was too busy flying and scoring.
Damn, Nick, eleven quality videos posted in the last 10 days show why you're the GOAT of all things NBA 🏀... showcasing the OG's as well as the recent stars - with top level editing. Much appreciated!
When that ball slipped out of MJ's hands, he took it personally.
When the ball hit the rim as it went in, he took that personal 🤣...I joke but its probably true
Can't believe I saw Jordan live in 93'. We all knew he was the best in the world. But didn't quite realize how timeless his GOAT status would become..
Hell he's the GOAT in the sneaker world also.
Michael Jordan is the GOAT of all sports. Senegal, West Africa.
I'll say it again.... The only player that I ever saw who got applause 👏🏻 on the road!
Love this series bro. You can see these guys get excited when talking about Jordan. They definitely looked at him as the next level.
Glad you're enjoying it!
I love hearing these stories 😂 And I have to correct Byron on one point - Mike NEVER had a bad jumper 🏀🐐
The editing in these videos are a thing of ART 🖼!
“Oh Ha the Rookie😁” 😅😅😭
Appreciate that! Thanks for watching
This dude was something else forreal.
55 points shooting 2s is crazy work
well people nowadays thinking shooting 3's is efficient, look how bad players come playoff time in this current era
He was under rated👍
Each time you watch an MJ highlight, it seems like you don't yet see it. You want to watch it again.
Juxtapose Jordan talk with Lebrons. “Playoff mode activated” , y’all gon be sorry “ washed King” , trying to shoot free throws like Mike with eyes closed and some others I forgot. MJ backed all his talk up.
Remember watching them games growing up and as a Michigan fan 5 fan CWebb was my dude but when MJ was giving people the business it was beautiful to watch

There was nothing any player or any team could do to stop MJ...he would eat today's league up!!
spent his entire career in the zone....9-9 from the line and ends up with 55...smh
I love these vids man! Thank you for that...takes me back. Nothing like 80s and 90s NBA. Hey....is there still an NBA?? Yeah I didn't think so
And these youngins think LEBRON is better then Black Jesus smh 🤦
Great work..... appreciate all the effort you put into these.
Calbert Cheaney was my favorite player on that Bullets squad. Mid range assassin.
The year 2323 should be called the Jordan year!
4:31 Bruh was Floating 🐐
I’ve had lotta comments, but I’ve never give you a comment compliments. I love your channel you were awesome. I appreciate the respect you have you’re the man my man.
Man you took me back to my youth with these videos thank you kind sir for the outstanding work Jordan is the goat #23
Yo @Nick Smith thanks for the Jordan videos bro. The stories from different legends EPIC. Specially when I see the games I watched & remembered NON FICTIONAL for youngsters & adults. 🏀❤️💯
Jordan is the greatest basketball player to ever live and the greatest athlete to ever live
Great job with these man! I enjoy them a lot!
thanks keep them coming bruh 👍👏💯✌️
Doing great with these stories!!
So glad to come back after a few busy days
Thanks nick
Welcome back!
Great series thanks for the content!
Lebron on the other hand, has 23 stories with other players (and a faulty AC) owning him
Great editing! I loved every minute of the vid. I just subscribed!
juwan looks like a veteran bartender at starbucks lol!
I had a biggest laugh on that last play
It looks like Jordan was at a practice shoot around............ha...ha....
It's like watching a master at his craft in full action right before your eyes !!💯
I been watching these good job on this series I love it
Thanks 🙏
Jordan “Ball Hog”? Naw “ Ball Dog” ❤️😂🤣
if you shot 55% thats automatic win with that volmue scopring
MJ is the only player who has told the opposing players that he's gonna score a certain amount of points and then do it lol
Larry Bird told Kevin McHale (who had just dropped 57) he was dropping a 60 piece, and then did.
@@imdarealani I forgot that Larry Bird told Kevin McHale that he was gonna break his record
Great job on the vids. 👌
I be damned if Mj isn't STILL da best looking player, smooth, just purdy to watch. Like Feds at tennis, all stats aside, I know who I'd play like if I could, and it's Mj all day.
Great content!
MJ let the ball slip with no one around him? That's a treasure clip!
MJ took it personal and told the ball "never again" you want this smoke
Jordan is the GOAT!!!!
That’s why his the G.O.A.T🐐🐐🐐💪💪💪
The Bullets did play the Bulls well that year. The whole series was actually competitive....it was just the 97 Bulls.
Nice Video! whats crazy is Im running out of stories I havent heard countless times bc I literally watch all the MJ stuff I can find... need some new people to come forward with things no one has heard...
I'm a die hard Lakers fan. Michael Jordan made me fall in love even more with basketball!
You know the NBA is trash when YT is filled with videos on Michael Jordan!
I'd rather watch MJ stories than the NBA finals right now........
MJ the master of the midrange
Byron Scott's story about MJ and Peeler is one of my favorites. 50!
Its always the laugh that gets me. 😂

The way to guard MJ is don't pissed him off!
These are great stories!. Subscribing now
I disagree with B. Scott...the jump shot wasn't a weakness for MJ during the early 90's which is when that game took place.
The jump shot was never a weakness of his game.I don’t understand why people say that at all.He was never a liability taking jump shots.
@@dc4690 True...even if you go back to the 80's, most of the shots he hit were jump shots. He just got even better at them later on.
Is he talking about 3s? Cause it was a weakness for everybody?
@@dc4690 that was his college scouting report. He developed it prior to enterting the league.

b.scott is the perfect coach in the post shaq era in LA
Jordan always looking like he playing pickup while everyone trying to catch up

M.J is the 👽 G.O.A.T!
He was smoking that cigar because he knew he had the game in the bag.
Jump shot looked pretty good to me!
Van gundy once accused MJ of Intimidating players. Befriending them , then destroying them lol

Havent heard a Lebron story to this extent YET!!! Unless he told it 😂😂😂
I can’t believe the debate
My goat 🐐
Well, he lit up my favorite Indiana Hoosier, Calbert Chaney, for 55…..if I would have been guarding him, Jordan would have scored 350…..great job, Calbert
NOBODY and I repeat NOBODY WILL EVER ASK…”hey, give me a great Lebum story”…..WE WILL NEVER HEAR THAT SHIT! 💯🤣🤣🤣
I love watching mj story
Thank you for this amazing context, much love and respect from Chicago… also, I haven’t ask, why do you pronounce “button” like that, where are you from? 😂
"Play off his weakness and thats jump shots."
B Scott needs to check that scouting report again.
Mike had a crazy mid range game crazy free throw line elbow to elbow
Draymond Green been smokin dat shiiii …….. 🤦🏼♂️
Draymond is the equivalent of Elon Musk right on social media.
