MJ at the age of 35 in 1998: - All-Star - All-Star Game MVP - Scoring champion - All-NBA First Team - All-Defensive First Team - Regular season MVP - Finals MVP - Champion Anyone back then wasn't even surprised at all that. It was just MJ, probably not even at his best...
You could legitimately look at like six or seven of the seasons between 87-98 and say he was at his best. Unreal. I still say he was at his most lethal during the second three-peat.
Everybody has coronavirus. People in places like New York and Italy are suffering from the 5G networks and towers put all over the place. Look up all the places where 5G is and isn't yet.
What's beautiful about his game is not just his highlight dunks and layups but how fundamentally sound his regular moves were. His jab step, pump fake, pull-up jumpshot, all of them everyone can do, yet he utilizes them to perfection. He didn't need the fancy dribbles and cross overs and relied on high percentage, low-risk moves. He is as Bruce Lee said, "I fear not the man who practiced 10,000 kicks, I fear the man who practiced 1 kick 10,000 times."
Coz during that year, MJ is already 35 y/o, though physicaly decline, his mental toughness and will never fades. GOAT no doubt. A thing of beauty to watch MJ. His finese is unmatched,(except Kobe) their identical.
Iconic call, because prior to Jordan making that play, Costas had just pointing up that sometime even Superman gets tired....referring to Jordan decreased shooting percentage in the Finals and not getting help from teammates with scoring...then on cue, as if he heard Costas say something negative about his game, he made two hard dribbles, stopped on a dime, and delivered. Costas further elaborated that "whatever he has lost, due to age, due to fatigue, due to whatever, has only brought him closer to the field....he still leads the field"
Aloop Actually it was impossible for Kobe to match MJ’s finesse. He came from a low-profile high school straight to the NBA and lacked a lot of MJ’s Dean Smith-UNC taught fundamentals. This is why Bryant’s shots were off-balances and more difficult. He also could not control his body on the ground and especially in the air like MJ because of his fundamentals were wanting.
Spot on but I'd add break it down to three MJ levels: 84-90: fast and athletic 91-93: still fast and athletic plus smooth and technical 96-98: Technical, smart, mid-range game
Greatest player ever, mj was an artist on the court. The footwork, hangtime, and mid range was poetry in motion. Funny how the media thinks LePEDs with his barry sanders trucking to the rim is better than this work of art.
He's just an awesome commentator. Lines like "He just sucked-up the gravity right off the building" or "Lebron James with no regards for human life!" makes him the goto commentator for the playoffs. It's like you're watching WWE whenever he calls a game

Michael Jordan is the best player of all time because not only did he have the flash, athletic ability but also the most fundamentally sound player. He could finish at the rim, go left or right and change direction while keeping the same speed, post up smaller defenders, unstoppable midrange pull-up, baseline fade-away, and shoot 3’s if he wanted too. Complete two way superstar. In one season he won the MVP, Scoring Title, Defensive Player of the Year, All Star MVP, & Slam Dunk Champ. He was the most athletic guy in the league, but also had the highest work ethic, and best offensive player and defender in one package. Long Live the GOAT 🐐
Jorgeg Balmaceda theres other people that compete man, look at kawhi, lebron, giannis I can go on and on. Not taking anything away from MJ but their competitiveness is just as fired
No one has forgotten. It's just that, as time passes by, there are people that missed it (some not even born back then) and are unaware. The media are just promoting what sells now but the fans know what's real.
Why would this documentary end the debate? It’s not even going on his career it’s just the 98 season. Jordan’s game wasn’t even as aesthetic as it once was (it doesn’t mean it was ugly to watch before you lose your mind) if anything you’ll have a lot of people saying this is it? this is the guy everyone’s been hyping? Jordan had a decent load management where he would be removed from games if the bulls were up or down by a lot. At best you know the roster a little bit better at worse this would have people rolling their eyes to see them spread one season into 10 parts and might hurt his case.
I’m so grateful I live right next to a park with rims and I didn’t see one cop the whole day last time I shot around.Its been raining next sunny day I’m there
IMAGINE LEBUM AT 35 TRYING TO WIN A TITLE WITH PIPPEN PLAYING 40 GAMES, A 38 YEAR OLD RODMAN, AND YOUR SECOND BEST OFFENSIVE OPTION WAS TONI KUKOC. THIS MAN WOULD HAVE RIGGED THE 1997 DRAFT TO GET TIM DUNCAN AND TURN HIM INTO TRISTIAN KARDASHIAN.
I realized MJ was the G.O.A.T. not after 1996 but after his 1997 Flu Game. He tied Magic in rings by 1997 but truly confirmed it with the final shot in 1998.
A big thing that Jordan and Kawhi have it common is the big hands! There is an interview of Phil Jackson when he talks about how a big difference of MJ and Kobe's game is MJ's big hands. The way you can palm the ball with one hand, especially when you are driving to the basket is a huge advantage that most casual fan don't notice!
@@NoCluYT I would say Kawhi resembles 94-95 Jordan, when he wore the 45. Slightly more mass & not as explosive. Not as theatrical, lacking fluidity in his movements. but deadly mid range & sharp. But overall he's more like Scottie Pippen cause his defense outways his offense.
Basically the Terminator of b-ball. MJ's like a perfectly honed killing machine that was programmed just to play basketball at the highest possible level instead of killing people. He had a psychopathic drive to win, and, as Bob Costas said, "the athletic heart of an assassin." By the time he started winning championships he was devoid of fear on the court and it shows in all his plays.
danneri 17 the wins go first not second lets be honest he’s not beating 2013 or 2014 spurs the way Wade and Bosh was playing. Last time Jordan’s key guy dropped 1 point in a game 7 he lost Bosh dropped 0 in game 7. I don’t even think Jordan gets to game 7
JASON TERRY GOT HIMSELF A RING TATTOO BEFORE THE 2011 FINALS AND OUTPLAYED THE QUEEN. I WAS IN 2011 AND LAST TIME I HEARD ABOUT JASON TERRY WAS WHEN AN OLD MJ WAS STUFFING HIS SHOT WHEN HE WAS ON THE HAWKS IN 2002. LMAOOOOOOO 😂😂😂😂😂
Everything Kobe was, the whole “Mamba Mentality” and the incredible unique mix of talent, drive and will.... Michael Jordan was that multiplied by 100. Lebron is not even close to being that great. This documentary is going to remind you millennials who the real GOAT is
Ultra Magnetic facts. They will learn. I don’t know why people try to compare lebron to this guy. It’s not even close. Nobody is to be honest. Not even Kobe.
I don't who are you with but me as millennial and to the millennials that I talked to are mostly MJ and Kobe fans. Late millennials who are born in the 90s are only the bronsexuals.
I miss the 90s. I watched almost all Bulls game. The 90s NBA was so talented. The game was much more physical. Only MJ’s supreme talent could overcome it.
I still remember the shock, disbelief and sadness when MJ announced he is leaving basketball after first three-peat and I still remember the incredible happiness when he announced his return! If he didn't miss almost entire second season and those baseball years he would have been all time scorer over Kareem
Michael said people are going to think he's a "horrible guy" after watching the new documentary. We already know no normal person can achieve the things he did, it takes a madman who borderlines on insanity to accomplish those kind of results. It takes a different kind of mindset, a mindset that we normal people do not have. Being the greatest isnt just about working hard.. there's a dark side you need to cross.. winning has a price.. I cant wait for the documentary.
I’ve seen amateur UA-camrs do a better job choosing and editing highlights videos. You have to show the steal on Malone. That sequence of Jordan scoring. Then coming on Defense to strip Malone of the ball. And then to score again with the last shot is the greatest sequence in nba history.
the 1998 core team MJ was 35..Pippen 32...Rodman 37 and Harper was 34..kerr was 32 and Kukoc was the youngest at 29 years old ...all still a dominant force to be reckoned with
Agree. I can’t understand Lebron fans bashing MJ. If you gave them the chance to switch Lebron’s resume with Jordan’s, they would take it in a heartbeat and so would Lebron. No one can obtain perfection, but MJ is about as close as you can get.
With all the scoring wilt chamberlain did in his career it’s mind blowing that Jordan still had a higher PPG average than wilt. Jordan was another level
Not really By the end of wilts career the last few seasons he was there mainly for boards He was like the third choice on the team So not really that surprising
Wilt was a chocker. As bad as Lebron. 22ppg in the playoffs. Has no records in the playoffs cause he was nowhere to be found. MJ has all scoring average records in the playoffs and finals. 33ppg in the playoffs , 36 in the finals if I am not mistaken and the most 30+, 40+, and 50+ games in the playoffs in the history of the game.
@Brian G you realize for the last 3-4 years wilt wasn't the first choice he was averaging around 20 because he wasn't the first choice He was only there to grab rebounds It's still impressive but when you look into it more,it's not that mind blowing when you receive for few seasons he was averaging 20 because that was his role at that stage
I tried going against MJ in all of the 1993 season as I wanted Suns to win it all. Then in late-1995. Kept losing. So I jump back on the bandwagon after they start 41-3, and I never lost again picking MJ.
I'm old enough that I got to see Wilt play, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, Bird, Magic, Jordan, Shaq, Kobe, and now Lebron! Michael Jordan IS DEFINITELY, NO DOUBT, THE GOAT!!!
LeBron’s documentary: The Last Excuse All of his Finals losses after this 2010 decision will be highlighted. Guest apperances from Jason Terry, Steph Curry, Kyrie, Wade, KD, Kawhi Leonard, Boris Diaw, Delonte West, Ray Allen, and Dirk. We go through players he ruined such as Deron Williams, George Hill, and Kevin Love, players who contemplated retirement such as D Rose and IT. We go through his 42 team trades since 2010 and how all of his fans are just a bunch of teeenage surburban kids on twitter who are scared to talk to girls in real life.
@IkImTheBest He will never be 3 and 6 in this soft era . Put MJ on the teams LBJ lost to in the finals and I guarantee. No sweep and he be better than 3 and 6 and better than 5 and 3...
Best ever. UN-arguably. NO debate. I'm so sick of the spots stations creating the false narrative of the so-called arguments of the people who so-called disagree. And anyone who genuinely disagrees, I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt that he/she isn't old enough to have watched Jordan in his prime for long enough.
The way Jordan used his Basketball IQ to manipulate and read his opponents is one of the things that made him so fun and exciting to watch. Sure LeBron is a great player, but nowhere near as graceful as Jordan was on the court.
Yup, a top 3 player in the league Kawhi Leonard is a lesser version of a 35 year old MJ. Let that sink in for a minute. A prime Jordan would absolutely destroy the league now. The GOAT!
if he played today's league he'd average 45 ppg,there's so many touch fouls ,no hand checks etc. The defense back then was crazy they really let players go at it,hand checking,actual hard fouls etc.
REMEMBER WHEN MJ SCHOOLED MARION AT HIS COLLEGE GAME COMING OFF THE 1998 BULLS TITLE THEN SCHOOLED HIM AGAIN FOR 41 POINTS AT AGE 40, THEN AGAIN AT THE 2003 ALL STAR GAME? THE SAME MARION WHO CALLED LEBUM RAYMONE JAMES A FEMALE DOG IN THE 2011 FINALS AFTER HOLDING HIM TO 8 POINTS IN THE PRIME OF HIS CAREER. LMAOOOOO 😂😂😂😂😂
Tired of hearing that Jordan had a stacked team. Pippen was made by Jordan. He was an average player at best with Houston & Portland after his departure from MJ. Rodman was not even close to the player he was with the pistons and was about 36. When Jordan took the court it was 2 on 5. Longley, Rodman and Harper were non offensive threats and took for Kerr or Kukoc to come off the bench to help with that. Imagine anyone today even Lebum with that supporting cast and win 3 in a row and probably should have won in 98-99 with a short season due to the lock out. The 8th seeded knicks made the finals that year. He didnt have to pass to make players better his sheer presence did that instead. He made all those guys look 10 X better than what they were. Just look at what became of them all when he retired lol.
So if Nick Wright and Shannon Sharpe want to be contrarians, go for it. Root for your goat James. Been there, done that betting against MJ. All he did was prove many of us wrong.
MJ at the age of 35 in 1998:
- All-Star
- All-Star Game MVP
- Scoring champion
- All-NBA First Team
- All-Defensive First Team
- Regular season MVP
- Finals MVP
- Champion

The way you can palm the ball with one hand, especially when you are driving to the basket is a huge advantage that most casual fan don't notice!
@@NoCluYT I would say Kawhi resembles 94-95 Jordan, when he wore the 45. Slightly more mass & not as explosive. Not as theatrical, lacking fluidity in his movements. but deadly mid range & sharp. But overall he's more like Scottie Pippen cause his defense outways his offense.

The greatest athlete in sports history!💯🐐👏👏👏
MJ’s jumpshot is an art form my goodness
Its not only about the stats and accolade MJ has,its his aura ,swag , and love for the game.
Basically the Terminator of b-ball. MJ's like a perfectly honed killing machine that was programmed just to play basketball at the highest possible level instead of killing people. He had a psychopathic drive to win, and, as Bob Costas said, "the athletic heart of an assassin." By the time he started winning championships he was devoid of fear on the court and it shows in all his plays.
I was 1 when this happened. Wish I could’ve seen MJ live as I’m from Chicago, watching Kobe and lebron growing up was still dope
This documentary got me ready!
Ready to stay at home? Yeah that's what I thought. Sit down fool.
Micheal is the greatest ever played a basketball..
Get GOATED 🐐
This reminds me why I started to love basketball...90s basketball. Going to collect the old school jersey, some many favourites
The All Star of All Stars The MVP G.O.A.T #23 MICHAEL JEFFREY JORDAN 🏀☁️☁️🐐
The best era of Basketball, the greatest of all time, how many memories. Thanks MJ
He was 36 years old and still doing it all.

@@John-V9 Yeah but that's not how age works. He was age 35 this season
This is pure gold!!!!
I'm trying to understand how Mike wouldn't drop 50 every game in this era.
Leroy Rodgers he can drop 50 but i bet he wouldnt be 6-0 in rings
leebron jamlee probably be soemthing like 7-2 if I had to guess, either way GOAT
danneri 17 maybe
@@leebron514 he still probably would, nobody in this generation could best mj on the biggest stage
danneri 17 the wins go first not second lets be honest he’s not beating 2013 or 2014 spurs the way Wade and Bosh was playing. Last time Jordan’s key guy dropped 1 point in a game 7 he lost Bosh dropped 0 in game 7. I don’t even think Jordan gets to game 7
Mj will be always talked about forever even after others now or then
JASON TERRY GOT HIMSELF A RING TATTOO BEFORE THE 2011 FINALS AND OUTPLAYED THE QUEEN. I WAS IN 2011 AND LAST TIME I HEARD ABOUT JASON TERRY WAS WHEN AN OLD MJ WAS STUFFING HIS SHOT WHEN HE WAS ON THE HAWKS IN 2002. LMAOOOOOOO 😂😂😂😂😂
Yooooooooooo 🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥
no flop, no travel, no double step back. oh my god. I love this game.
Everything Kobe was, the whole “Mamba Mentality” and the incredible unique mix of talent, drive and will.... Michael Jordan was that multiplied by 100. Lebron is not even close to being that great. This documentary is going to remind you millennials who the real GOAT is
Ultra Magnetic facts. They will learn. I don’t know why people try to compare lebron to this guy. It’s not even close. Nobody is to be honest. Not even Kobe.
Michael Jordan has 23 game winners in total. Kobe Bryant has 36 game winners in total.
And LeGoat got 41
@@mr.fantastic7756 False LeBron doesn't have 41 game winners.
I don't who are you with but me as millennial and to the millennials that I talked to are mostly MJ and Kobe fans. Late millennials who are born in the 90s are only the bronsexuals.
MJ was the ultimate video game player before video games came out. Every move you can imagine, he could do.
Greatest of All Time
I miss the 90s. I watched almost all Bulls game. The 90s NBA was so talented. The game was much more physical. Only MJ’s supreme talent could overcome it.
I still remember the shock, disbelief and sadness when MJ announced he is leaving basketball after first three-peat and I still remember the incredible happiness when he announced his return! If he didn't miss almost entire second season and those baseball years he would have been all time scorer over Kareem
I remember I hated on him growing up as I cheered for the Knicks. However after he retired the first time I was begging for him to come back
Jordan’s midrange game was unbelievable
Michael said people are going to think he's a "horrible guy" after watching the new documentary. We already know no normal person can achieve the things he did, it takes a madman who borderlines on insanity to accomplish those kind of results. It takes a different kind of mindset, a mindset that we normal people do not have. Being the greatest isnt just about working hard.. there's a dark side you need to cross.. winning has a price.. I cant wait for the documentary.
Well said.
OMG!!!!! This Is THE GOAT
THE. GREATEST. OF. ALL. TIME.
PERIOD.
I’ve seen amateur UA-camrs do a better job choosing and editing highlights videos. You have to show the steal on Malone. That sequence of Jordan scoring. Then coming on Defense to strip Malone of the ball. And then to score again with the last shot is the greatest sequence in nba history.
Gotta save a little something for the series :)
This man led the league in scoring 10 times. In today's era, MJ would be the most unstoppable, no defense today could stop him
Yup and he didn't have to shoot 3s to win the scoring title. Thin about that for a minute
8:00 Michael Jordan hit a game winner shot
the 1998 core team MJ was 35..Pippen 32...Rodman 37 and Harper was 34..kerr was 32 and Kukoc was the youngest at 29 years old ...all still a dominant force to be reckoned with
GOAT
It’s not fair how good this man was it’s just not fair
"They didnt play defense back then as they do now" bron fans
What do you mean didn't play. Defense
@@razidegamo9059 hes making a joke of how bron fans try to compare the league now to then!
Why am I watching this like it’s brand new? Because it’s great, that’s why.
With MJ, it's all about finding ways to bash perfection achieved in the Finals. With LeBron, it's all about finding excuses for his imperfections.
Pat4Clippers
Rent free thinking about lebron 😂
Agree. I can’t understand Lebron fans bashing MJ. If you gave them the chance to switch Lebron’s resume with Jordan’s, they would take it in a heartbeat and so would Lebron. No one can obtain perfection, but MJ is about as close as you can get.
The defense the jazz had on jordan. Mike is unbelievable everything he does is so smooth. He’s the 🐐 and i dont see anyone better than him
With all the scoring wilt chamberlain did in his career it’s mind blowing that Jordan still had a higher PPG average than wilt. Jordan was another level
Not really
By the end of wilts career the last few seasons he was there mainly for boards
He was like the third choice on the team
So not really that surprising
Wilt was a chocker. As bad as Lebron. 22ppg in the playoffs. Has no records in the playoffs cause he was nowhere to be found. MJ has all scoring average records in the playoffs and finals. 33ppg in the playoffs , 36 in the finals if I am not mistaken and the most 30+, 40+, and 50+ games in the playoffs in the history of the game.
@Brian G you realize for the last 3-4 years wilt wasn't the first choice he was averaging around 20 because he wasn't the first choice
He was only there to grab rebounds
It's still impressive but when you look into it more,it's not that mind blowing when you receive for few seasons he was averaging 20 because that was his role at that stage
On a Jordan binge ever since I saw him at the All Star game!!!!
I want a NBA cinematic shared universe of biopics on Showtime Lakers, Larry Bird, Bad Boy Pistons, MJ, Shaq, Kobe, and LeBron.
This team wasn't just Michael. It was the Chicago Bulls. Greatest team with the greatest player.
I tried going against MJ in all of the 1993 season as I wanted Suns to win it all. Then in late-1995. Kept losing. So I jump back on the bandwagon after they start 41-3, and I never lost again picking MJ.
And it seems from that day on you become a fully fledge bandwagoner as your avatar suggests
Just a taste for the youngsters who think they ever knew anything about basketball.
I'm old enough that I got to see Wilt play, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, Bird, Magic, Jordan, Shaq, Kobe, and now Lebron! Michael Jordan IS DEFINITELY, NO DOUBT, THE GOAT!!!
LeBron’s documentary: The Last Excuse
All of his Finals losses after this 2010 decision will be highlighted. Guest apperances from Jason Terry, Steph Curry, Kyrie, Wade, KD, Kawhi Leonard, Boris Diaw, Delonte West, Ray Allen, and Dirk. We go through players he ruined such as Deron Williams, George Hill, and Kevin Love, players who contemplated retirement such as D Rose and IT. We go through his 42 team trades since 2010 and how all of his fans are just a bunch of teeenage surburban kids on twitter who are scared to talk to girls in real life.
Hahaha catchy name lol W
LBJ’s 30 for 30 : what if I told you the 6 was not what he had in mind
•cue the theme•
@IkImTheBest He will never be 3 and 6 in this soft era . Put MJ on the teams LBJ lost to in the finals and I guarantee. No sweep and he be better than 3 and 6 and better than 5 and 3...
You missed Qing "bow down to China" James
Netflix documentary:
MJ how to win 6/6 in eight seasons 😍
Lebron how to lose 6/9 in 11 seasons 😳
Best ever. UN-arguably. NO debate. I'm so sick of the spots stations creating the false narrative of the so-called arguments of the people who so-called disagree. And anyone who genuinely disagrees, I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt that he/she isn't old enough to have watched Jordan in his prime for long enough.
ESPN, this is lazy....UA-camrs give way more effort and come up with the exciting stuff. Is this all you got? Please!!
There's better? I thought this is completely amazing
The best ever...
HANDS DOWN.....
Mj was so smoove man
Jordan showing why he's the greatest just unstopable on both sides of the ball played every game like it was his last just the best to ever do it
The way Jordan used his Basketball IQ to manipulate and read his opponents is one of the things that made him so fun and exciting to watch. Sure LeBron is a great player, but nowhere near as graceful as Jordan was on the court.
Clippers Home crowd was cheering for MJ. Greatness 🙌
those were the times that you just cant missed a Bulls game.
What a shot by JORDAN!!!
Yup, a top 3 player in the league Kawhi Leonard is a lesser version of a 35 year old MJ. Let that sink in for a minute. A prime Jordan would absolutely destroy the league now. The GOAT!
Not even close. But thanks for the chip.
WE THE NORTH.
Jordan is the G.O.A.T❤✨🙌🏀
if he played today's league he'd average 45 ppg,there's so many touch fouls ,no hand checks etc. The defense back then was crazy they really let players go at it,hand checking,actual hard fouls etc.
Timeless! Magnificent! 🐐
Phil Jackson 🔥
Always be MJ as the greatest athlete of all time..
REMEMBER WHEN MJ SCHOOLED MARION AT HIS COLLEGE GAME COMING OFF THE 1998 BULLS TITLE THEN SCHOOLED HIM AGAIN FOR 41 POINTS AT AGE 40, THEN AGAIN AT THE 2003 ALL STAR GAME? THE SAME MARION WHO CALLED LEBUM RAYMONE JAMES A FEMALE DOG IN THE 2011 FINALS AFTER HOLDING HIM TO 8 POINTS IN THE PRIME OF HIS CAREER. LMAOOOOO 😂😂😂😂😂

When was he not Michael Jordan? No one who ever played in the NBA did it better. I mean no one! 👑🐐🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
To be first to view is very interesting! Especially this Iconic highlights
3:42 God bless that commentator. He’s been around for a minute and he’s my favorite commentator ever
Tired of hearing that Jordan had a stacked team. Pippen was made by Jordan. He was an average player at best with Houston & Portland after his departure from MJ. Rodman was not even close to the player he was with the pistons and was about 36. When Jordan took the court it was 2 on 5. Longley, Rodman and Harper were non offensive threats and took for Kerr or Kukoc to come off the bench to help with that. Imagine anyone today even Lebum with that supporting cast and win 3 in a row and probably should have won in 98-99 with a short season due to the lock out. The 8th seeded knicks made the finals that year. He didnt have to pass to make players better his sheer presence did that instead. He made all those guys look 10 X better than what they were. Just look at what became of them all when he retired lol.
I really wish their were 4k highlights of Jordan. He deserves for his highlights and game to be viewed in high definition.
So if Nick Wright and Shannon Sharpe want to be contrarians, go for it. Root for your goat James. Been there, done that betting against MJ. All he did was prove many of us wrong.
Yup. Never won betting against Jordan. Betting against lebron on the other hand i only lost once
Arvin Mestidio 6for6 and original 23. If you were on the court your feared that man because he finds away
