They aren’t talking about MJ cuz of no highlights. You’re experience of MJ is highlights on YT cuz you’re a little kid, the rest of us talk about him cuz of his greatness not no highlight reel.
The Great Bill Russell said it best. " What impressed me the most about him, is that every game he was determined to be Michael Jordan" His skill-set was at least 30 yrs ahead it's time, The greatest basketball/Athlete that I've ever seen.
잡상인채널 - no. The mainstream NBA and the style of today comes from Jordan. They didn't play like him before Jordan - the NBA was different. Jordan literally create today's sports licensing industry and today's NBA in terms of style of play is modeled after him. Too many young people didn't witness so you don't realize how much he affected the game and the world, especially on a business level. Before MJ, teams were built around big men. That's what separates what he did. He won championships against teams with big men who dominated from the paint when you could stand there all day and use physical force against players big and small. No other team could manage that. The Bulls were the first to win it all with a team built around dominant perimeter players without today's rules to make it easy. Even with today's conditions, nobody dominates like he did. Because of this success, David Stern changed the entire NBA to be modeled after Jordan's style of guards and SF winning championships - and making lots of more money.
Steph Curry The G.O.A.T And compared to todays era where most players are too scared to attack the basket so they always throw up 3's? Not to mention that you have to clear the lane for someone who wants to do a layup/dunk. MaxiPad league today and you think MJ wouldnt be a force? Dumbass
He was just different from any player I've ever seen and he always made me believe he could do the impossible. The thing is, he made the impossible seem routine!!
Yep, we expected things on a nightly basis. Who today does this on a consistent basis? If he scored less than 30 in a game or his shooting was off, we'd think he was sick or something. We were spoiled by his play. These kids today don't realize the weight he carried on his shoulders from 84 to 98 and his game elevated every season.
true but dr j had a similar repertoir particulary attacking the rim..for dr j the spectacular is ordinary by bill russell..every body else ranks behind them
@@andreaspapadakis2602 No he didn't...Next to dunks there is literally nothing similar about those players. Completely different positions and different body types.
Let’s be honest. These moves are unbelievable. He was already years ahead of his time. I thought I seen it all, but these moves he got are incredible. This is ****ing sick.
Diego Chavez I think MJ would match up great against those guys. When Michael was on the wizards he was still getting the best of Kobe and Tmac, who were both reaching their primes if not already in it. Let me remind you he was 40. Imagine what he would have done to those guys in his prime.
Yup they traveled too but not as rampant as today. Today you can see star players like Russel Westbrook and Lebron walking 6 steps up the court before dribbling. :D
Pure Distance Golf I wouldn't go that far lol. Magic, Bird, Zeke, Stockton, Nash, CP3, Bron, Rondo and plenty more were leagues ahead of MJ passing wise. Those are tier 1 passers Jordan is basically a tier 2 passer. Great at times but not consistent enough to be tier 1m
I'm talking talent, quality of passes, not willingness to pass. You don't think he could have averaged 10-12 assists per game if he made it his goal? Easily.
Pure Distance Golf part of being a great passers willingness to pass and if he made passing his sole focus maybe he could but if LeBron magic or the other elite passers did they they could have gotten 15 a night. Jordan was a good passer not an elite one. Great passers have that first instinct to look for their guys and get them the rock, Jordan didn't have that and it's what made him the greatest scorer ever and not the best passer ever. If he forced himself to be a passer he wouldn't have been the goat, and he could rack up assists but assists aren't the meausre of a great passer anyway.
Lebron aint a great passer. He racks up assists through the drive and kick schtick but he wont pass the ball unless its for an assist, which is why his teams always have poor ball movement overall. The Magics' and the Stocktons were floor generalls.
MJ played in 99 games that season (including playoffs). These highlights include 11 or 12 games. That fact alone is enough to make your head spin. He was unreal.
your mother I think you just copied and pasted that from another Jordan haters videos comments or your just a troll trying to convince yourself to protect your ego. All of the players you mentioned idolized MJ and copied him. If Jordan were to come up against them he would take his game to an even higher level which is the absolute truth. He thrived on wanting the best thrown at him night after night and his career and stats in a very tough and physical era speak for themselves. MJ is the GOAT for so many reasons.
I'm a huge LBJ fan, and I saw both these guys play since before their NBA days, and LBJ is just not on MJ's level. He's his own force, but no, MJ was simply the best I've ever seen.
Minkah McKay Jordan was way more entertaining to watch than lebron. There’s no creativity flash fundamentals or finesse to lebrons game even tho he has improved his 3pt shooting a little bit
Javontae Garrett all he’s known for is his athleticism no footwork like mj no midrange like mj average free throw no post game average ball handler all he plays is offensive foul bully ball
Dear Kids: This is Westbrooks Athleticism, Kawhi's handsize, Kobe's mamba mentality, Zach Lavine's Vertical, Bird's IQ, and a lil influence from Magic with the no look passes.. with around a 50% FG% A steals leader, and a force of nature dominant in offense and defense. The other guy wearing 23 isn't the Greatest ever.. just the greatest you saw.... take note.
OK, we'll Jordan had good /great teammates.... We can agree on that.... Did you watch LeBron drag the cavs to the finals kicking and screaming? I did... With Jordan he was never alone... It was team against team.... With LeBron its team against LeBron....so think about that.....
Yeah you don't see anyone move the ball on the fly like he did. He would lift, move the ball around the first defender, under the next defender and eventually get to the other side of the rim for a free shot. You just don't see that. From anyone
Yup. LeBum in more season hasn’t done half of what he did. And stupid people saying is Kareem are wrong too. Kareem needed 20 season and Magic and still didn’t surpass MJ.
Better say 13 in total because 85-86 he got his foot broke so, he played only 18 games of regular season and still dropped 63 points on the celtics in the playoffs. Played only 17 games in the 94-95 due to his return and the playoffs. In the first wizard year wich is the 2001-2002 season ( the most underrated Jordan's season ) he played if i remember correctly 47 games before the knee injury due to a crash with his teammate after a bucket.
YungJ they are so athletic and there are no Real Defensive big men yet these athletic generation will rather shoot 3s instead of driving in the paint LOL.
No disrespect for the 95-98 Jordan but this Jordan 85-93 was just more exciting to watch. Coming back from retirement he showed more great fundamentals and great I.Q. but this raw athletic version was something... grab ya popcorn.
He wasn't a raw athlete. He was already insanely skilled from before he stepped a foot on an NBA court. He just developed his mid range better and got stronger to back in and post up more, but he had already had these things in his arsenal from the beginning. The way I like to see it is do you want your MJ to play SG/PG for your team or do you want older stronger MJ to play SG/SF for your team?
5:12 WTF? Now that's hang time. He made 3 moves in the air on one shot. Each move would have been good on it's own. That is the greatest basketball shot I ever saw.
@Dreamer 1 I feel sorry for you. I saw Michael Jordan and it was outta of this world. People talk about Lebron but trust me, it's no where near. And I also missed some legendary people becouse I was born in 78 and I understand what you feel. It's sad but that's life. Who knows, maybe someday you'll get the chance to see someone great too. You always have Usain Bolt! That's the Michael Jordan of the 100mts! ;)
Kids, see how he passed the ball WHEN it was necessary? The greatest scorer, while being one of the greatest defenders and making great passes when necessary. 6-0.
@@comeup4882 .... This clip showed like 3 games. He did this shit every game and won rings on top of that. What are your boys today doing that is so impressive?
Eric Jordan curry is impressive and lebron is impressive Tim Duncan was too Kobe was too Jordan is great I just don’t like Jordan fans if lebron had the killer mindset he would make it a easier debate of who better but since Jordan was a competitor I favor him lebron has a passive personality but I still think lebron would dominate old school cuz he would adapt
MJ is too slick and fluid, his moves are flawless he doesn’t seem to have weaknesses in his game. Watching him play is like poetry in motion. He’s the GOAT, no question about it.
@@armandodelossantos736 And in a video interview back in the 90s they asked Hakeem who he watched for moves, Jordan was one of the players he mentioned. Remember that next time you bring that up!
some people say that NBA defense on jordan's era is shit thats why jordan reigns but that wasnt actually the case, the defense is there but jordan is just a genius in breaking up the defense and make them looked so silly thats why he is unstoppable when he drive the ball to the ring.
The Seeker - who says that? The 90s are universally recognized as the defensive era and today's conditions due to rule changes was due to the overt physical defense of that decade and all older basketball. Only young kids and specifically those that are determined to disparage the superiority of yesterday's NBA say that nonsense.
@@comeup4882 .... I guess you don't see him maneuvering around defenders in the lane, clogged with players. I guess Lebron has to bully ball all 5 defenders and maneuver around the empty space in the paint.
Huge fan of Chicago Bulls lead by MJ and Pippen. Awesome moves by MJ. MJ is GOAT. Greatest Of All Time. LBJ is a GOAT Going On Another Team(Lakers) to search for a ring
I remember being in 7th grade in ‘90 and my Friend Joey who was a die hard Laker fan would watch MJ play on TV the night before. The next morning I would ask him if he saw the game on TNT and he always say “Jordan sold his soul to the devil, nobody is that good.” 😂
crazybike911 it really is. It’s my all-time favourite dunk-particularly b/c NO ONE else has ever been able to imitate it!! That is, no one even tries. It’s not even in anyone else’s mind. I earnestly believe only MJ could do that dunk. When he first truly displayed it in the Dunk Contest (87, maybe? Whichever was his first of back-to-back wins), THAT was something else. Can you imagine seeing it live and in-person?! It would be a religious experience!! That Dunk Contest version (I believe he called it “Kiss The Rim”, which is just so badass on its own) he did in that first W is my all-time favourite dunk of his or anyone else’s. Again, it is inimitable. And, that’s saying something with the class of athletes who have shuffled in and out of the League in the last 30-plus years . . . . .
Let Me Get Uhhh I mean, that could well be true. But, why hasn’t anyone done it then? No one has even attempted it. Also, you do have to be a very specific body type and athlete to pull it off. Even the rock-the-cradle MJ did when he was a youngster hasn’t been imitated much of at all (and I know it’s a variant of Dr. J’s classic-but MJ’s is very, very different).
His massive hands were a huge physical advantage for him, especially when combined with his speed, strength, agility and jumping ability. He was able to keep possession of the ball midair and do things nobody else can do.
Every move came within 2-3 dribbles before he got a shot off.. that’s amazing. No wasted time, no wasted energy.. very precise. Watch again and you can see a cadence to the way he attacks. His footwork and balance is key. He’s the most fundamentally-sound player I’ve ever seen. He’s the best player I’ve ever seen. Study the Master
Jordans offense was so spectacular it overshadowed his exceptional passing ability. He had multiple passing highlights in single games that make other players’ all time career highlights. It’s just his layups, dunks, and shots are even better so no one notices
You’re missing out my dude there are some teams that play with real finesse in the league now. Mj Years were legendary but the NBA is as exciting now as it was then
His finishing at the rims were insane even with the left hand, and his passing is very underrated, but he is more willing to score. If he wanted Jordan could have averaged 10 assists.
@@Stormtrooper-fv7dr Yes, very underrated passer. Not as good at passing as arguably the greatest passer who ever played the game Magic Johnson, but still an amazing passer. Jordans basketball IQ was off the charts. There was nothing about the game that he didn't understand fully, amazing.
Wanna know how great Jordan is?If you copy his moves and execute them just little bit less effectively you’ll be a top 10-15 player ever.Don’t believe me?Kobe Bryant says hello.
the spacing of the day was just simply atrocious jordan with a modern 5 out spread pnr set up would average 40 im not kidding he could score 100 on some lottery teams of today
Imagine The TimberWolves w/ soft AF KAT coming to Jordan, On a back to back night. D'Lo says "Jordan can't guard me" in a viral video hours before tip off. . . Yeah it would get ugly.
Man the fluidity in his motion is just so visually pleasing to watch. When he takes off it feels like he is floating on air, it's just so crazy that even watching it i can't explain it. Crazy thing is he doesn't even jump that high. Definitely not like a Lebron or other athletes of this generation but how he manages to stay in the air...I just cant rap my head around it.
just the excitement from the announcers compared to today shows how exciting it was to watch him play back then. You knew you were going to see something special to get pumped up over when MJ came to town. No player was more fun to watch
Thanki you for your time and for sharing this video.. It's like my youth rewinded. THE GOAT and it is not even close!! Kids nowdays just don't know it..

Yep!
Dude he was ridiculous
He was so fast and athletic. That elevation. Man, no wonder, Bird could only say he's God disguised as Michael Jordan.
You guys see highlights, I got to see this prime time and live a few times. Unbelieva-Bull!
They aren’t talking about MJ cuz of no highlights. You’re experience of MJ is highlights on YT cuz you’re a little kid, the rest of us talk about him cuz of his greatness not no highlight reel.
MJ's left hand up and under reverse layup is the most beautiful and artistic basketball skill ever.
paolo-1283 so right!
paolo-1283 i totally agree it’s like a dance with a class. So beautiful to watch!
Dr J did something similar.

The Great Bill Russell said it best. " What impressed me the most about him, is that every game he was determined to be Michael Jordan" His skill-set was at least 30 yrs ahead it's time, The greatest basketball/Athlete that I've ever seen.
Ahmad2423 his skill set was not 30 years ahead tho 👀
He was just really good at what was the main stream of the nba
Thats major. Considering Bill Russell played with Elgin Baylor that's a big statement.👍

Steph Curry The G.O.A.T kinda like how Westbrook got "fouled" by KD even though he tripped on his own feet 😂😂😂😂 gtfoh stupid.
Anthony Apodaca they throw up a 3 cause it's harder to get to the rim unlike in the 80s and 90s
Zo Empire nah more like Scottie Pippen jumping up in the air near Charles Smith and getting called for a foul in a playoff game
Jordan's footwork, and shifty movements are just crazy. He transitioned flawless as if every part of his game was connected in rhythm.
Kenneth Head Mj was something else Bruh
this was the season where all aspects of his game blossomed and became this fluidly complete player
Great comment

Is anyone better at creating space than Jordan or Steph??
Such an underrated passer
Donald Trump always

Yea right look what Kobe did to pippen in the 2002 wcf he ran circles around him and pippen lead the bulls to the finals
Ahhh how refreshing... The days before the 3-step Euro step and travel stepbacks.
TBH tho at 8:30 MJ uses eurostep

Eric Jordan curry is impressive and lebron is impressive Tim Duncan was too Kobe was too Jordan is great I just don’t like Jordan fans if lebron had the killer mindset he would make it a easier debate of who better but since Jordan was a competitor I favor him lebron has a passive personality but I still think lebron would dominate old school cuz he would adapt
5:11 coldest layup in NBA history
MJ is too slick and fluid, his moves are flawless he doesn’t seem to have weaknesses in his game. Watching him play is like poetry in motion. He’s the GOAT, no question about it.
lol ive been waiting years for a decent 1990-1991 jordan highlights.....good job as always bro
The only man you can't double or triple team....
Jason Thammavongsa ever heard of Hakeem Olajuwon! You could triple team him, which they did every night, but it didn't matter
Armando De Los Santos I know Hakeem is great. But why do you need to troll every Jordan videos?
@@armandodelossantos736 And in a video interview back in the 90s they asked Hakeem who he watched for moves, Jordan was one of the players he mentioned.
Remember that next time you bring that up!
some people say that NBA defense on jordan's era is shit thats why jordan reigns but that wasnt actually the case, the defense is there but jordan is just a genius in breaking up the defense and make them looked so silly thats why he is unstoppable when he drive the ball to the ring.
The Seeker - who says that? The 90s are universally recognized as the defensive era and today's conditions due to rule changes was due to the overt physical defense of that decade and all older basketball. Only young kids and specifically those that are determined to disparage the superiority of yesterday's NBA say that nonsense.
Boogie Loo I've seen comments on some MJ videos in youtube.
Who says that? Lol must be little kids
The Seeker lol stop he just does a basic drive
@@comeup4882 .... I guess you don't see him maneuvering around defenders in the lane, clogged with players. I guess Lebron has to bully ball all 5 defenders and maneuver around the empty space in the paint.
This video does a good job showcasing Jordan's array of shots and creativity.
He's insane
@5:12 20+ years later and ain’t nobody done that. Should’ve been given 4 points for style. Can only truly be appreciated in slow motion.
These highlights speak for themselves. MJ is the G.O.A.T. Case closed.
GOAT ALL AROUND BEST EVER!! Not even a debate!!!
He was very unpredictable his Game was insane he is truly the one and only GOAT
The layup against the nets 😂😂 5:13. You know you the man when the other team bench goes crazy lol
His Royal Airness, the greatest athlete who ever lived.
This is why he is the goat. Respect the basketball God prime MJ. On another planet domination.
Huge fan of Chicago Bulls lead by MJ and Pippen. Awesome moves by MJ. MJ is GOAT. Greatest Of All Time. LBJ is a GOAT Going On Another Team(Lakers) to search for a ring
I remember being in 7th grade in ‘90 and my Friend Joey who was a die hard Laker fan would watch MJ play on TV the night before. The next morning I would ask him if he saw the game on TNT and he always say “Jordan sold his soul to the devil, nobody is that good.” 😂
HE DID..LAUGH IT IF U WANT..
BUT ITS TRUE
The late Chuck Daly stated he was embarrassing to the league he was that good.
The leaning dunk of mj is i think the best dunk in nba.
crazybike911 it really is. It’s my all-time favourite dunk-particularly b/c NO ONE else has ever been able to imitate it!!
That is, no one even tries. It’s not even in anyone else’s mind. I earnestly believe only MJ could do that dunk.
When he first truly displayed it in the Dunk Contest (87, maybe? Whichever was his first of back-to-back wins), THAT was something else. Can you imagine seeing it live and in-person?! It would be a religious experience!!
That Dunk Contest version (I believe he called it “Kiss The Rim”, which is just so badass on its own) he did in that first W is my all-time favourite dunk of his or anyone else’s.
Again, it is inimitable. And, that’s saying something with the class of athletes who have shuffled in and out of the League in the last 30-plus years . . . . .
Definitely. You need his huge hands to be able to do that dunk as he's palming and gripping the ball. And of course you also need the athleticism.
Alexander F. There's plenty of guys who can do that dunk if they wanted lmao stop that.
Let Me Get Uhhh I mean, that could well be true. But, why hasn’t anyone done it then? No one has even attempted it. Also, you do have to be a very specific body type and athlete to pull it off.
Even the rock-the-cradle MJ did when he was a youngster hasn’t been imitated much of at all (and I know it’s a variant of Dr. J’s classic-but MJ’s is very, very different).
No one has done it like him. It's like he's flying when he does that.
5:11 one of the greatest layup ever made. Even the opponent's bench are impressed. 💪
MJ's _everyday moves_ were things we had never seen and haven't seen since
his passing skills were so underrated
They really are underrated, he was a very skilled passer, it's just that he also was always the number one option for scoring.
He is the greatest player...ever..
No one can match what he does in a gorgeous way like he did
5:31 I love how he bounces after he lands from power dunks
cat-like springs
That's why he called the black cat
His massive hands were a huge physical advantage for him, especially when combined with his speed, strength, agility and jumping ability. He was able to keep possession of the ball midair and do things nobody else can do.
By far the most talented player of all time Michael is the 🐐
Video reminded me of 2 things. Underrated passer. Awesome body control in air. Wow.
MJ is one of the best ever,he would destroy today's competition.
Every move came within 2-3 dribbles before he got a shot off.. that’s amazing. No wasted time, no wasted energy.. very precise. Watch again and you can see a cadence to the way he attacks. His footwork and balance is key. He’s the most fundamentally-sound player I’ve ever seen. He’s the best player I’ve ever seen. Study the Master
real 🐐🐐
Jordans offense was so spectacular it overshadowed his exceptional passing ability. He had multiple passing highlights in single games that make other players’ all time career highlights. It’s just his layups, dunks, and shots are even better so no one notices
LEGENDARY 🐐🔥‼️🤩
The greatest ever in any sport forever. I don't even watch basketball anymore because everyone else looks like clumsy crap in comparison.
INFOSUL SOLUTIONS Olajuwon owned him their whole career, and he was playing soccer until age 16
Armando De Los Santos olajawon is at center. What's your point?
You’re missing out my dude there are some teams that play with real finesse in the league now. Mj Years were legendary but the NBA is as exciting now as it was then
@Creative Username I follow the NBA today and he's not missing a thing. NBA today is no where near what it was before.
Business Partners that's a shitty reason to stop watching basketball lmao
His finishing at the rims were insane even with the left hand, and his passing is very underrated, but he is more willing to score. If he wanted Jordan could have averaged 10 assists.
In 1991 Finals he averaged 11.4 assists, almost matching Magic's 12.4 assists in that series, so yeah, that checks out lol
@@Stormtrooper-fv7dr Yes, very underrated passer. Not as good at passing as arguably the greatest passer who ever played the game Magic Johnson, but still an amazing passer. Jordans basketball IQ was off the charts. There was nothing about the game that he didn't understand fully, amazing.
Wanna know how great Jordan is?If you copy his moves and execute them just little bit less effectively you’ll be a top 10-15 player ever.Don’t believe me?Kobe Bryant says hello.
Reminder that he’s the ultimate artist of the sport. No one compares.
This version of MJ was truly god-like. Unstoppable.
the spacing of the day was just simply atrocious
jordan with a modern 5 out spread pnr set up would average 40
im not kidding he could score 100 on some lottery teams of today
Imagine The TimberWolves w/ soft AF KAT coming to Jordan,
On a back to back night.
D'Lo says "Jordan can't guard me" in a viral video hours before tip off. . .
Yeah it would get ugly.
No he wouldn’t
Great video bro! This is actually a very good one that shows all his remarkable things he did! Jordan is best of all time! Hands down! #Finesse#
GFRESH Taylor Olajuwon was better
Lebron can't do half the moves MJ does......#GOAT4EVA
Lebrons game lacks creativity and fundamentals he’s all athleticism that’s why I say he’s a smaller forward version of wilt chamberlain
Make it a quarter
mkbzam different skill sets because lebron is 2 inches taller and 60 pounds heavier lebron is Karl Malone size df but Kobe can do this all
Javontae Garrett Kobe was never nearly as efficient as mj
Lawrence McDonald well it lacks Jordan's creativity, but I wouldn't say it lacks creativity. I agree with the Wilt Chamberlain comparison though.
There has never been a pure athlete with such freestyle creativity on the court.
HE would EASILY DOMINATE todays NBA.
you just had to be there and witness what he did. No way anyone can own a sport that way again.
And people say "lebron is a better basketball player than Jordan" 😂😂😂😂😂
I always laugh at that
They both good in there own era
After watching this you actually believe that?
Lebron. Y'all crazy. 80s and 90s basketball would cream these new school guys.
This is a career highlight for most people. It's just one season for MJ! GOAT
i keep watching hundreds of videos of Jordan and every time i see new things,new moves,new highlights i have never seen before.This guy is a genius
Legend
Who is Lebron ？ MJ the One and Only Greatest of All Time
Eric Zhu u mentioned him so he’s in your head
Eric Zhu LeBron the goat
Man the fluidity in his motion is just so visually pleasing to watch. When he takes off it feels like he is floating on air, it's just so crazy that even watching it i can't explain it. Crazy thing is he doesn't even jump that high. Definitely not like a Lebron or other athletes of this generation but how he manages to stay in the air...I just cant rap my head around it.
What do you mean he don't jump that high? Maybe he didn't always use his full jump, but the dude had a 40+ inch vertical.
@@nostalgicbliss5547 I think it was 48 in or something like that.
@@nostalgicbliss5547 and this guy is smoking some serious crack talking about he doesnt jump that high...smh
He jumps just as high, if not higher. You are seeing mostly halfcourt sets so you won't see his real lift when performing certain moves.
just the excitement from the announcers compared to today shows how exciting it was to watch him play back then. You knew you were going to see something special to get pumped up over when MJ came to town. No player was more fun to watch
MJ had some footwork and was so lithe at the same time... Mindblowing
Dam I like the video's against the sonics. I haven't seen that one but a prime Jordan was destroying payton
8:37 who really invented the euro step
Different moves in every game..thats why everybody is excited everytime he was playing..
Jordan gave everything every minute of every game.
5:12 was insane! MJ the GOAT!
He was an amazing passer....he could have easily averaged more assists if he wanted too.
GOAT will always be that
I wish for just one day I could be like Mike!
Jordan style is so cool his skill are out of this world.
Thanki you for your time and for sharing this video.. It's like my youth rewinded. THE GOAT and it is not even close!! Kids nowdays just don't know it..
