    This might be my favorite Jordan reaction yet. This guy gets it. The understanding and appreciation towards what you’re witnessing. Basketball knowledge or background need not apply. Any background in life, any country you’re from, any language you speak…doesn’t matter. It’s not us, it’s him. It’s Mike. He is unequivocally timeless. Michael Jordan is 1 of 1 in human history. Any and every superlative that is or has ever been used to describe him is 100% inarguably true and correct. He is the only person and/or thing in the known universe that is completely impervious to hyperbole. Entirely immune to it. The man is hyperbolically impenetrable. This isn’t even debatable. Muthafucka really was just that good.

    Soccer fan here as well, Borussia Dortmund is my club. How it was to watch Mike live? Well, he was THE MUST SEE in all of sports. As soccer fans, my friends and I stayed up whole nights here in Germany, just to watch him play. School or work next day? I don't care, Mike is playing. That's how it was.

    The thing about Jordan beyond all that grace and athleticism was a determination to win. Jordan was absolutely CLUTCH. The man wanted the ball. He wanted the game on his shoulders. He wanted to be the deciding factor. And he freakin’ delivered! Time and again.
    That kind of will to win combined with a seemingly limitless talent is incomparable. No one else is even close.

    Watching Michael Jordan was like watching a superhero who never lost on the biggest stage.
    I have never been more confident in a player and team winning a championship than watching him. With other championship teams they might be favored and they might have a good chance of winning, but it felt like the Bulls winning when they were at full power was literally guaranteed. It didn't even feel like there was a chance they could lose going into a game 7. I didn't even feel nervous...

      Honestly, this isnt even his best stuff. Most of these are mainstream clips. A lot of them are crucial situations and significant moments.
      You really had to be there to understand. I remember him just getting raw. The quickness, the anticipation, and of course the flight. The plays he missed the shot, or got fouled, or didn't count were insane. Everything he did was a highlight.

    The thing is, for at least 1 moment in every game he played Jordan would do something that you didn't think was possible and that you would doubt any other basketball player could do.
    He was must see TV every single game. He looked like he was playing a different sport than everyone else. And yes, he was an excellent defender too. He did it all

    I got to see his ENTIRE career from college to his final retirement . EVERY single night he played was ELECTRIC... every single game he played , he played with 100 % effort and drive . Just imagine Messi giving you 10-20 amazing highlight type plays a match .. EVERY match he ever played. Thats what it was like watching MJ playing. His athleticism is still unmatched even today ( his verticle jump was 48 inches and his 40 yard dash time was 4.39 seconds ) and his overall skill is still unmatched . Yes he is the greatest sports GOAT of all time .

  • @Dendood
    @Dendood Рік тому +10

    Enjoyed your reaction, my dude! Being from Chicago I had the good fortune of watching Michael Jordan in person at the old Chicago Stadium. When he was drafted as a rookie Chicago was mildly excited to have such a highly regarded draft pick. We weren't dreaming for the stars but hopeful that we might have a talent that might be competitive with the big dogs in Boston and L.A. By his third game in the league the town was abuzz with excitement. He was an electric player to watch from the start. Pure poetry in motion. Fluid. Agile. Creative. Explosive. With a will to win unmatched by anyone during his time in Chicago He dominated on both ends of the court.. From the jump watching the Bulls became must see TV.
    Btw, he was on top of the world having won 3 straight Championships and cementing himself as the #1 star in the league. And then tragedy struck. His father was murdered. Dealing with his grief he retired from basketball. And decided to take up his second love, baseball as a career. His retirement lasted for a year and a half. he returned to the Bulls mid season. The next full year he lead them to the Championship again. And two more years afterward for a total of 6 Championships. It was an amazing time to be a Bull's fan. In the end we knew no matter how rough the seas we still had Michael Jordan and the opposition didn't.

    Most fans who've only watched the game over the past 20 years do not understand what they missed. Most of those highlight plays have a crazy story behind them, either massive game winning buzzer beaters or MJ just taking something someone said personally and singling him out (or both, lol Bryon Russell).

  • @curtayars7344
    @curtayars7344 Рік тому +5

    I can't speak for anyone else, but I can't remember a single time that I watched the Bulls play and as soon as the game ended I went straight to the courts to embarrass myself trying to mimick something Jordan did in the game whether it was a shot, pass or a layup!! That man did something special at some point in every game that would leave you speechless and amazed

  • @xavvi
    @xavvi Рік тому +8

    You asked how you can stop him. Let me tell you, as a person that saw him live as a kid and as a fan of a team that he defeated in the Finals, the answer is simple: you can't. He went to the Finals 6 times and he came away with 6 rings, being named the Finals MVP in each series. He was named the MVP of the entire league 5 times. He was named Defensive Player of the Year, and made the All-Defense team 9 times. He was a 14-time All-Star and 10 times was named to the All-NBA First Team. He won a gold medal in the Olympics.
    He's known to be kind of an asshole, and rightly so it seems, but a lot of it comes from a competitiveness that borders on complete insanity - teammates said even the practices were more intense than most other team's actual live games because he never took a rep off.
    Seeing him play was like watching a Greek god or something, he floated, he hung in the air, he spun and moved like a dancer and he had a killer's instinct. There will never be another as good as Michael Jordan. Never.

    • @J24J

    If you wanna see more Jordan stuff, you need to check out a highlight reel of his "flu game"! While having a bad case of either the flu or food poisoning (it's not really known which), Michael left it all out on the court and performed EVEN BETTER than his average, it's really unbelievable.

  • @Biostalker420
    @Biostalker420 Рік тому +5

    Tom Brady and Wayne Gretzsky are the only two that compare in dominance to me in my lifetime. After Jordan's father was murdered I felt so bad for the guy. His dad always wanted him to be a baseball player, so it was really hard to take as a fan, but I understood him leaving for 2 years. His comeback is my favorite sports story of all time. His number 23 was retired, they had to unretire the number so he could have it back.

    Watching Jordan LIVE was just extraordinary. IT DID NOT MATTER WHAT NIGHT YOU WATCHED. You would be watching the game... and you would see normal plays... and then, somehow, on some random broken play, Jordan would just start doing AMAZING things. It was as if... Jordan just decided, "I need to make some highlights" for this game.... We watched him do it so many times, it just became expected that we see something amazing.

  • @nengnengnengable
    @nengnengnengable Рік тому +3

    He was the best in every facet of the game. Highest vertical leap amongst all NBA players still to this date. He could palm the ball (hold it with one hand) to misdirect defenders. Best offensive AND defensive player in his prime, which no other player before or after had accomplished. And the greatest winner in the modern competitive era (sorry Bill Russell). He also made his team great, the Bulls were a perennial losing team before he was drafted by them.
    What you don't understand is that a lot of those buzzer beaters he hit we're the last shot to win massive games such as the deciding NBA finals game, where the ball was in the air when the buzzer sounded. This would be like Beckham making a crazy penalty shot from 30m out with 10 secs to play to tie or win the finals of the European/World Cup, but Jordan did several times during his career.
    He would make shots back in the day after defense intentionally fouled him hard with the intention to injure him and take him out of the game, these days they don't even make any body contact.
    He would hit the most insane shots which no one else in history could ever do, an example was how often he would shoot / release the ball when he was descending in the air.
    Sorry but Messi and Ronaldo don't come anywhere close in football to how MJ dominated basketball. He would deliver a Maradona like performance embarrassing his opponents consistently, almost every night. Also for furtger context a lot of his highlight shots / dunks / crazy plays were made against the best defensive players / centers in their primes, and he did so to embarrass them immediately after they challenged him.

  • @ericcrane4871
    @ericcrane4871 Рік тому +4

    Being a basketball fan or knowing the rules need not apply to what everyone sees when viewing the mixtape. It’s called the “eye test” and you obviously get it. You couldn’t name anything that Jordan wasn’t good at and you could easily state things in the video that he is better at than his peers.
    What separates athletes like Jordan and Messi from the pack is their sound fundamental skills. They know what they’re doing and how to do it well but they add in the flair and grace and artistry to mesmerize fans and opponents.
    Thanks for the upload! It was a pleasure hearing your commentary.

    Michael Jordan retired in '93 after the first 3-Peat when his father was murdered. After returning after 1 1/2 years, the Bulls had retired his Jersey, so he wore number 45 because 23 was hanging in the rafters. Jordan was coming to play games, still at a high level, with his statue in front of the arena and his number retired in the rafters. He is also the only player to get his jersey retired by a team he never played for (Miami Heat).

    I think it would be cool if you could react to Steph Curry, he’s know as one of the best if not the best shooter in NBA history. Also for one year he left basketball and did baseball which is what he meant when he said “I’m back” and the reason he wore number 45 is because his dad died and he wanted to start a new phrase in life but a year later he switched back to number 23 because it felt unnatural to wear 45.

    his dad was murdered so he took a year off to play in the MLB (he wasn't great, but still good enough to be in the MLB). He came back to basketball after the one year break. Won 3 straight championships before and after his break. Goat. As to why he changed his number, “I didn't want to wear 23 because I knew my father wasn't there to watch me, and I felt it was a new beginning and 45 was my first number when I was playing in high school.” Would recommend watching the last dance

He always wanted to prove that he was the single most dominant player on the court, and he simply had no weaknesses. No player even comes close to the level of excitement he brought to the game. People who have watched the game for decades can never honestly say anyone has ever played the game better than MJ.

    50 a night, 5 steals, 5 blocks, 10 rebounds, 12 assists.

    I think it certain ways it would be easier for Jordan today. He'd probably change his workouts and focus a little bit to master today's game. Back then he worked to master the game as it existed in the 80's and 90's. His athletic ability, work ethic, and competitive focus and drive would see him through to dominate in basically any era.
    I think the same of Bird, Kobe, Steph, Wilt, and many others too.

    After he won 3 straight championships, his dad was murdered in 1993 so he retired that season to play baseball at the MLB like his father wanted him to before he became a basketball great. He then came back in 1995 and won 3 straight championships again from 1996 to 1998 including having the best regular season record at the time of 72-10 in 1995-1996 season, with two other hall of famers Dennis Rodman and Scottie Pippen. Scottie Pippen actually played with Jordan for every single championship he won (Dennis Rodman was there for the Jordan comeback three peat making Dennis have 5 championships total. Rodman had won 2 other rings before joining the bulls with the Detroit Pistons from 1989 to 1990, defeating Michael Jordans bulls twice in the Eastern Conference Finals)

    When Michael Jordan won 3 straight championship for his first 3 peat he retired for two years when somebody murdered his father his father wanted him to play baseball so he play professional baseball with the Chicago white Sox for 2 years then he came back to play basketball to win three more Championships in a row for his second 3 peat if he didn't retire he would have won eight straight championships and I've seen Larry Bird, magic Johnson ,Michael Jordan all the greatest of all time in 35 years of watching the NBA Michael Jordan was the only basketball player to make non basketball fans into basketball fans people used to say Michael Jordan was the babe Ruth of basketball now they're saying babe Ruth was the Michael Jordan of baseball Michael Jordan is considered the greatest American sports athlete of all time ahead of Muhammad Ali and says a whole lot and I watch Muhammad Ali fight his entire career and I thought he was the greatest until I saw Michael Jordan and thank you for your reaction have a wonderful day

    After winning 3 straight championships he was exhausted and decided to retire and have a go at his favorite sport growing up - baseball. His dad had just recently been murdered and he was under investigation for his extensive gambling (he never bet on basketball, but was an avid gambler). So he just was just tired of everything going on around him and he walked away. And then he came back a couple of years later and won 3 straight titles again.

    Straight from the legend himself, Michael has said many times even on Oprah. He firmly believes that he would never reach his level of success if he had to play today. First of all the game was invented by an American, James Naismith and featured 11 men on each team! The game has totally changed. The cheeky part of MJ even smirks when asked if cell phones were around when he played and he immediately says if he was hounded by cell phone cameras he guaranteed that he would not have been married to Juanita for long! What can you say about a guy who self-identifies as Black Jesus! True story. Reggie Miller had just joined the NBA and started to talk trash to Michael. At halftime Miller had 12 points to Jordan’s lowest 2 points in his career. Jordan said nothing back to Miller but strangely watched as MJ would point to Indiana’s bench and point. Still no words from Jordan. At the end of the game Jordan outplayed Miller with 44 points and Miller had 14. Watch Reggie Miller’s interview with Jimmy Kimmel. Priceless inside info my friend-so fire away with your questions!

    This is by far the best reaction to this mixtape I've seen. You get it. Excellent reaction. Yeah, MJ took a year and a half off. His father was murdered. He retired in his prime and played baseball because his father had always wanted him to do that. He had won three championships in a row before that. Then he returned and won three more in a row. That in itself is just inhuman. He made basketball absolutely balletic. You could not take your eyes off him. That last shot was his last shot as a Bull, and it won them their sixth championship.

  • @tudorm6838

    That last shot was from the final game of the 1998 final. Utah leads 85-82. Jordan scores 84-85. Then steal the ball from Karl Malone and score the last shot of the game: 86-85. He scores 45 points in that last game for Chicago.

    MJ retired for 2 seasons when his dad died and didn't want to wear 23 anymore because his dad wouldn't be there to watch him play. 45 was a new chapter in his career and it was the number he wore during high school. eventually going back to wearing 23. 23 is officially retired by the Bulls. no player can wear that number

  • @thelonious-dx9vi

    Great reaction. Pure sport. He played every game like that. All 82 most seasons, at both ends, all out. It was magnificent, which I say as someone whose team was in his division. My guys never won it, because that guy. That's the guy, all time, not a close call.
    BTW you should also look at Larry Bird's "greatest passer" reel. He'll blow your mind also, in a different way.

    For all the accolades he got, what Jordan was most proud of was that he twice won the *DEFENSIVE* player of the year award. That didn't come as naturally to him, so he valued it more.
    As for how you stop him dunking on you -- the answer, as found by the Detroit Pistons, is foul him really hard every time he does. Over a seven-game series it wore him down, especially with as much as he was having to dunk for the Bulls to compete. Then they traded for Scottie Pippen, meaning he had someone he could actually pass the ball to, and the rest is history.
    I actually got to see him live once, March of 1998, in Atlanta. Tickets were expensive, but my parents managed to get some -- the arena was probably 80%+ cheering for Chicago. We went to visit family in Atlanta and see the game there because, while I live closer to Charlotte, he's *from* North Carolina and tickets to see Jordan play in Charlotte just weren't really available. In Atlanta, the arena had been converted from being used for some other sport. There was a section of seats that went for $5... that faced *away* from the court. But you could watch on TV while being in the same building. It was sold out too, of course. I, age 9, couldn't sleep until 5:30 AM that night, I was so excited.
    That said, if you want to see a freak of nature play basketball, I gotta recommend Shaquille O'Neal, AKA Shaq.
    One last note: Regarding the greatest of all time question, I do feel there's one player who has an argument, and that's Bill Russell. Yes, he played back in the 60's and 70's, and the league wasn't as advanced as it was in Jordan's era, but consider this: Michael Jordan's big claim to fame is winning 6 NBA titles over his 13 years with the Bulls.
    Bill Russell plays 13 years with the Celtics.... and won ELEVEN NBA titles.
    Oh, okay, one more thing: re. a player in other sports who is similarly good at both offense and defense, I might suggest Ichiro Suzuki. Of course, a dominant player doesn't affect the game as much in baseball as in basketball, but on an individual basis, he was that amazing.
    Oh, and Jordan's comeback was from taking a year and a half off to try and become a major league baseball player. He returned, partly, because of a major league players' strike. He had originally taken 23 because his older brother wore 45, and he thought he was about half as good as his brother. So when he came back and wore 45, that was a bit of a boast that he was as good as his brother now. But after a while he decided 23 was too iconic to abandon.
    The number 23 has been retired by the bulls, nobody's allowed to wear it again. It's also been retired by the Miami Heat, also in honor of Michael Jordan, who never played for them, because the Miami Heat didn't have any players of their own worth honoring at the time but they thought a jersey retirement ceremony would generate some hype.

    5:00. I am a New York Knicks fan. Michael Jordan was my nightmare in the 1990s every time the Playoffs came around. As a New York Knicks fan, we all knew that the path to the Finals was going to be through Chicago. The only year that the Knicks made the Finals going through Chicago was 1994. Michael Jordan didn't play that year which is why the Knicks could finally beat the Bulls.

    Basketball nowadays has more emphasis on the 3-point shot than back when Jordan played, that being said the greatest players can adapt, Jordan would no doubt adapt to the way the league is now if he was playing today.

  • @udman008
    @udman008 Рік тому

    Jordan's dad passed, and he retired to play baseball for 2 years. During that time the Bulls retired the number 23. When he came back, the league rules were that he couldn't wear it since the number was retired. The following year he was able to wear the number again.

    I think to understand Jordan watching him live you have to consider this: you see that hustle? You see him all over the place as a defensive pestilence? You see him embarrassing his peers? That was MJ every minute of every game. No, Jordan wasn’t perfect. Jordan didn’t make every shot. He WAS a freak of nature. Boundless energy. A competitive desire unmatched in sports. I’m not exactly a Jordan fan but I watched him. He was “the man” every night… every minute. You weren’t going to stop him. Bird had to assemble the greatest team in NBA history to get past him. And Jordan STILL put up 63 against that team. It was remarkable. (Bird still swept him though LOL)
