I agree that he’s the goat but playing the full season back then was pretty common. Guys make more money now haha gotta give them some games. Like Tatum played in 74 games this year. Missing 8 games is not that crazy lol
Mixtape cuz they buried most of the game footage. He was a fraud who the league catered to changed rules. Overrated defender and loser in the 80s. Only won when league changed the rules for him. So overrated
@@franknatti5367 Got damn homes. I know damn well you ain't saying the league altered rules for Jordan, are u? If you are along with saying he's a fraud and overrated, you are blind and a freaking fool. No objectivity whatsoever. Don't ever respond on this debate again.
Yes...what young people don't get is Mike is the reason why the term posterize EXISTS. ANY time there was an up and coming Shot Blocker/Defensive Player Jordan would Posterize them just to like you said let them know they werent on his level...Mark Eaton-Poster...Worthy-Poster...Ewing-Poster...Alonzo Mourning-Poster...and hed dunk on dudes who were known as great dunkers too like Dominique Wilkins...also its hilarious that when they played Portland the media asked Jordan how the Bulls could compete with the three point shooting of the Blazers who at that time I think set a team record for threes....Dude comes out a sets the single playoff game record for threes then shrugs...Man was a maniac
Now you know why those of us old enough to have witnessed this alien in person find it comical when they try to compare mere mortals to him. My favorite player all-time (Magic) said it best "There's Jordan then there's everybody else." #GOAT
Magic is my favorite player too but when MJ finished them 13 straight shots on us in the Finals with that up and under layup I had to admit he was the one and still is today.
@@patrickevans9604 People claim a lot of people are "built different," but MJ is one of the few where it really fits. The combination of athleticism, basketball IQ, physical stature, hustle, and absolute sheer competitive will to win has never been matched.
@@ChrisE25 Man, you were more bias than me. I admitted he was that cat (black) after what my 20/20 vision witnessed what he did to vaunted Celtics squad in 1986. That team was stacked with FIVE hall-of-famers and the greatest front-court (Bird, McHale, Parish) ever assembled. Don't forget, they were also the best defensive team that year.
Its sad that Kobe gets disrespected because he won his first 3 titles with Shaq. Kobe was the closest to MJ. Kobe wasn't afraid of Michael on the court and wasn't afraid to fail against MJ and at the same time, respected MJ because he knew MJ is the GOAT and was better. Lebron I would be lucky to be at 3 because I would put guys like Bird and Magic ahead of Lebron.
Michael Jordan is ranked 1st all time in NBA History for points per game at 30.1, and ranked 6th all time in assists per game for a shooting guard at 5.4 per game. MJ was one of the greatest passers too, but because of his athletic abilities, usually, his dunking and layups are shown in highlight videos. He was also one of the greatest clutch players, and was able to create his own shot, which is why he didn't rely on passing as much. Offense aside, Jordan was also one of the greatest defensive players of all time. The only player to win both the NBA Scoring Title and Defensive Player of the Year in the same season. Imagine that...the best offensive and best defensive player in the game...something that is extremely rare. Historically, great offensive players aren't as good defensively, and vice versa. There's usually a compromise. Sometimes, it comes to down to conserving energy for an entire game...but Jordan never slacked on either end. He was a machine.
Most don't realized it was the position that limited his passing. For the short time he played point guard he had 10 triple doubles in 11 games. They always seem to forget that the position makes a big difference it what a player is supposed to do.
@@garyr8739 What should be noted is that at that time there were around thirty triple doubles over the entire season! All matches combined! Another thing, few people know it but MJ won his first title against the Lakers with an average of 11.5 assists in the final. He is also the best blocker at his position in history and one of the best interceptors. But the word that sums up MJ is domination.
MJ's assistant coach Tex Winters said MJ always needed to be challenged. He would say to MJ, "you're the worse passer I've ever seen". MJ said, "Yeah, but I'm the greatest scorer you've ever seen so why would I pass it?"😄
Greets from Germany! I am 51 years old. In Germany Basketball isn't a big thing, but when Mike was playing, me and my friends met and stayed up the whole night, just to see him play. Work or school next day? Who cares, Mike is playing!
I'm a black American, same age as you, was in the Marines in 1992..in Turkey for NATO exercises, every dusty Turkish kid would say Micheal Jordan! Micheal Jackson!😂whenever they saw us, we took it as black Americans.
Same here.... I used to hate Jordan when he played, especially after what he did to my Suns in 93, but as soon as he retired (the second time) I was like "Yep he's the goat, no question about it" lol
I feel the exact same way about James. I root for every team that James plays against. I don't deny that James is a great player but I can't stand him, never have. In my opinion, James is not even on the same level as Jordan.
Part of what makes MJ the goat is because he was so clutch. He played his best in the biggest moments, when his team needed it the most. He didn't just have one 3 peat, he had two.
Against trash opponents. Never beat a great team. Name one great team he beat. When he was winning, he clearly had the best team in the league. It wasn’t even close
@@franknatti5367That's because they where the best team for a reason he is the Goat, just Google how many other All Stars and hall of famers he kept them from winning a championship in the 90's. Unlike Lebron where almost any other Hall of Famers or AllStars where winning championships on hes watch😂😂. There's a reason why the Bulls where the Juggernauts in the 90's with a target in their back and kept winning, something that not even steph curry and the Warriors could do in the 2010's much less LeBump So keep on hating !😂😂
@@franknatti5367 Please stop the NONSENSE! So you're telling me a team with Penny Hardaway, Shaq, Dennis Scott and Nick Anderson were not great? What teams would you classify as great? The teams that were stacked with four and five Hall of Famers in the 1980's because they made backdoor deals to get all the best players? Jordan played with ONE All Star teammate during his championship years, and he won six out of six. Tell me what all of Jordan's teammates accomplished individually after they left the Bulls? There were great teams in the 1990s. But history does not remember the teams that finished second. History only remembers the teams that won.
Best shot-blocking guard all-time, highest clutch % in history, only player to never lose a finals. His ball-fakes were so slick, and then his athleticism, Offfensive/Defensive I.Q, and hands that could palm a pumpkin made him a Basketball nightmare, Living video game cheat code.
Larry Bird was that dude. He'd talk a ton shit, tell what he was going to do, do it, then keep reminding you the rest of the game that he did it. In case you forget.
Always awesome seeing young people witness some Jordan magic and not knowing what to say afterwards 😊 MJ was just on another level, playing almost every single game, giving 110% offensively AND defensively, never slacking, winner mentality. One of the most competitive athletes in the history of sports.
when she said "it was different; he's different" ...thats what i've been trying tell some of these gen zers the last few yrs about mj there are GREAT PLAYERS and then theres mj
@@franknatti5367we dont have to lie--- he far surpasses lebalco WITHOUT using even peds defensive player of the yr award AND scoring title AND mvp in the same season... lebalco couldnt do that even WITH peds they won 3 straight when he came back for the SECOND TIME ---2 THREE PEATS lebalco has how many 3 peats? he played the last 17 games of 1994-95 season after not playing for 2 yrs 13- 4 over those games; then scottie didnt get it done in playoffs (you clowns say scottie was better than jordan right? so why are you blaming mj for losing that yr?) before jordan came back they were 34-31 w/ scottie as the best player... then 13- 4 when jordan returned now go have some spaghettiio-s with a tuna sandwich and hush
@@franknatti5367 Yeah he came back at the end of the season with a month left after not playing for almost two years and lost to the Magic in the playoffs Then the next year swept the Magic on his way to winning three straight AGAIN Is that specific enough for you
Great reaction! Jordan played intense every single game. Just to give you an idea of how durable he was... in his final 3-peat run, for 3 years, he did not miss ONE game in either the regular season or playoffs. He played every single game. It was crazy to watch him back then, and I still haven't seen anything like him since that can play that intensely and win.
In his first nba finals against Magic Johnson, Jordan averaged the most assists in a finals series by anyone not named magic johnson. He averaged 11.4 assists. Jordan proved he could do literally anything by breaking records to prove the media wrong...
@jalesbarjo4740 raised in Chicago the ,mj game to Chicago when i was 10,biggest mj fan didn't know that til I did the nba2k 11 and had to do the jordan challenge. Meant for 20 years I didn't know that
@@jalesbarjo4740 He also shut the media down in the '92 Finals when they compared Drexler and MJ and Clyde Drexler said the only difference between them was Clyde could shoot the 3. MJ proceeded to land 6 3-pointers in one half, setting a record and doing so on 6-for-10 shooting. He then said "Drexler is a better 3-point shooter than I CHOOSE to be."
I saw an interview with John Starks recently where he said that they would get scouting reports on players. `Favors his right,` `poor mid range shooter,` etc. When it got to MJ it just said "Good Luck!" 😏
Young man, at the 11:00 mark, the right-hand lay-up, switch to the left, was not unnecessary. If you look at the guy under his right hand, it is Sam Perkins a well-known shot blocker. When Jordan went up with his right, Perkins moved and Jordan switched hands because he thought Perkins was making a play on the ball. Jordan was one of the most efficient players ever, not wasting movements on flash. What you’re seeing is his creativity off dribble. This play was an example of how fast he can change his play while his athletic ability allows him to pull it off. Cheers
Magic was my favorite player but Jordan is the Greatest. Nobody has had a 3000 point season since MJ. Check out Jordan "One of the best defenders ever"......
The thing they dont talk enough about was his quickness he had 4.38 speed which is like first round, first pick, NFL wide receiver speed. Come out of a cut with that kind of speed, your chasin' a jet with broken ankles and a broken heart.
I'm from Detroit and from the Jordan ERA. I hated MJ at the time. He just didn't lose. You couldn't beat this man. As a Bad Boy Pistons fan, he destroyed us. He is the GOAT, period!!!!
Lived in the Chicago area. Was not a basketball fan until he was drafted. Every game and I mean every game he did multiple things that were just never done before. They played in the Chicago stadium in the beginning but made the bulls so much $ they built the united center across the street. We call it the house Jordan built. Need to check out his defense highlights. Led the league in scoring a ton and at the same time was all defense team
I was not into Basketball but hearing about Michael Jordan and me watching one of hes games I was hooked after that. I was watching michael jordan play basketball when I first started high school back in 1993 I remember buying the chicago's bull's start jacket And I was born and raised in new Orleans And represent Chicago Bulls and never been to chicago. Miss them days
I grew up in the 90's watching him. I saw one live game that he played in because tickets were impossible to get. He is the GOAT!!!! And remember, they could hit you back then.
It's refreshing to see our young people appreciating what came before them as we did. I love what you're doing. Keep up the good work. I have an old school gem for you. Check out STEVIE WONDER "ALL I DO". Young Micheal Jackson in the chorus...
And you're correct, he didn't always LIKE to pass, but when he did, he was a master. There was one All-Star game, he and Shaq were on the same team. He was feeding Shaq most of the game, amazing passes.
Michael Jordan, Bo Jackson, Barry Sanders, Dan Marino, Randall Cunningham, David Robinson, Deion Sanders and on and on.. The 90's were the best time to be a fan of NBA and NFL.
I have been watching the NBA for 53 years. He was not my favorite as i was a Laker fan in those days, but i could never doubt his greatness as well as the fact he is The Goat. I believe he and his teammates would have won 8 straight titles if he had not left to play baseball in 1994 and 1995. I've never seen another with the skill set Jordan displayed constantly. He gave 110% every minute. He was durable, clutch, creative, always the best player on the court, both sides of the ball, and The Goat. No doubt.
I agree on the possibility of 8 straight. Iirc it was Houston that won both titles while he was retired and if it wasn't for being slightly rusty and out of shape he almost took the bulls to the finals and there's a very low chance that Houston would've gotten that second title that year.
me too same thing i'm from ny we loved mike but he made us hate him in the late 80s early 90s ...beat the knicks in the playoffs every time even spotted us the first two games in 1993 and then won 4 straight
@patrickevans9604 I agree. You could tell MJ was not at his peak physically when he came back. Played the last 15 or so and the playoffs. I was a Magic fan and I know we only beat them because of that.
He was asked by the team/coaches to score at will. The team was at it's best when he went off. He could pass very well, there is a vid of how MJ back in 89 played PG for like 35 games. He had a stretch of 10 out of 11 games with a triple double.
In 1989, The Bulls put MJ at point guard for 11 games. He had 10 triple doubles and averaged 33.6 points, 11.4 rebounds, and 10.8 assists. Along with 2.9 steals and 0.8 blocks per game. He could pass, but his job was to score points.
The important thing is that Jordan did this game in game out with no time management. It was full throttle all the way. You have guys today that can emulate MJ'S game but none of them can sustain the level of play on offense for more than a few games much less on defense. It was a great time.
And he did that while having a hard partying lifestyle, only getting 4-5 hours of sleep before games AND playing 18 holes of golf before warmups. Dude was an ANIMAL.
Maaan I LOVE yall acknowledgement of this mans greatness. I grew up watching with amazing EACH game. That era in general was soooo much better in the sense of team work, the stars being in dunk contests, the NBA themed music during the game intros and halftime shows etc, Jordan was like watching Mike Tyson in that you KNEW the opponents were in trouble when they Mike or Mike was on the scene. As a huge NBA fan and as a content creator myself, I truly appreciate yall for sharing this and giving your impressions 💯✊🏿🔥 Respect Yall have a new supporter
Saw Jordan live once n I promise u that’s prob the most packed arena I’ve ever been to..it was when he came back n hit the game winner against the hawks in Atlanta in the highlight..crazy to witness
There's a lot more videos then only this. He won the championship 3 times in a row twice. This is one reason why I say and always will say that Michael Jordan is and always will be the G.O.A.T
I truly feel bad for the generation that never got to watch MJ. This broke the hearts of so many people and yet they love him. I'm a suns fan this man had me crying like a baby when he beat Barkley and yet I own 5 pairs of his shoes. I've been watching LeBron... Don't own a single pair of brons. See the difference.
As a Tar-Heels fan he's the G.O.A.T Michael Jordan #23 1st Round 3rd overall pick in the 1984 NBA Draft out of the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill drafted by the Chicago Bulls 6-0 in NBA Finals in 1990's 6X Finals MVP and a 5X NBA's MVP too
Jordan worked very hard off the court in the weight room. He recognized that to be the best every single game, he had to condition his body more than anyone else. RESPECT the legendary work ethic. #TheLastDance 🏆🏀
This is the man he had to become to beat Magic and Bird and the Bad Boys. This is what it took to win at the highest level. And he had to maintain that to suppress everyone who wanted to take the crown, get revenge, or get some comeuppance.
You should watch other players talking about when they played against him. Kevin Garnett has one of the most hilarious stories ever. You didn't talk trash to him. He made you pay for it, lol. The NBA back then WAS an intense game. They didn't just win 3 straight. They won 3 straight TWICE!
I’m 63 mannnn, I love watching you two young people experience MJ for the first time. I am old enough to experience when Jordan actually play and always been a fan of his. Just when I thought I seen all the great things about him, you guys showed me how it is to see young people like you two witness him for the first time. Thank you.
Michael Jeffrey Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time And it's not remotely close. This video will be shown for the next 100 years because this is what perfection looks like great reaction. 👏👏👏💯🐐🐐23
bro i was watching this mixtape a few days ago and thinking "the next time they send a space probe out like they did way back in 1979 to leave our solar system out into space (i think it was named 'voyager'; took decades for it to leave our system) they should INCLUDE THIS MIXTAPE " (they included things like the music of johann sebastian bach on that one) thats how impt what that man was doing actually is in my opinion--- it was incredible to watch and people from this gen think you're lying when you tell them lebron is not really even CLOSE to jordan yeah its as if he was the PERFECT BASKETBALL PLAYER
Great reaction guys, good on you to not pause on everything or you would’ve had a hour reaction video for a 15 minute video. Good job noticing him not passing like Larry, it was because he had no one to pass to like Larry did. Also the best thing that Kobe picked up from MJ was to play for the fans. MJ knew when he came to your town, people were coming to see him. So he didn’t take the night off, unless he was really hurt and couldn’t give you the show you deserved.
back then they play positional basketball, he passes but his role is a shooting guard. when he played point for several games for the the Bulls he averaged around 11 assists.
Jordan once said, divers work a multitude of actions once they leave the board before they hit the water. Anything inside the free-throw line is my pool.
Hey guys I just subscribed. I really appreciate this video. I was 10 years old in 1990 (wearing the jordan 5s )..I saw almost every game jordan played in the 90s and this cat was different and still til this day!! I’m glad to see you guys recognize what Mj was about ! when you get a chance, please watch Michael Jordan’s top 60. I’m sure we all would love to see that reaction !!
I’ve watched from wilt on live. So many great players from Wilt to lebron and now Luka. So to even be considered a top 10 player should be a high enough honor for any of them. I have my opinions. For me it was Wilt then Dr J then Larry then MJ and there it still is for me. He’s the best scorer I’ve ever seen. He’s the best defensive guard I’ve ever seen. And he plays all 82 games and all like every possession was like the end of the game. A non stop motor. Never missed a bulls game even though I was a sixers fan but every single game you could do one of these mixtapes. Awesome that the younger generation gets to see him in action.
What people don't realize just from his highlights is how good Jordan was defensively. He still is number one all time in blocks per game as a guard. (0.9) Jordan is 4th all time in steals. Jordan was All-Defensive First Team nine times (tied for first all time) and won Defensive Player of the Year in 1988. Oh...and he also won 10 scoring titles and was 6-0 in the Finals without even seeing a game 7
16:15 He's not even gonna yell at you he's more likely just to look at you , possibly mutter /say some shit about who's in charge and then do you even worse on then next play and then the next 10 to twelve plays after that , just because your attempt to block his dunk offended him for some reason LMAO
For all the men raising kids, do not buy them Jordans until they watch this mixtape of the GOAT. They must understand why they were not just shoes to us.💯
Bird called him black Jesus after he droped 63 on the Celtics in the playoffs. And he called him the black one...Because they already named Bird the White Jesus!
@@jalesbarjo4740 nah bird called him exactly "god in the person of michael jordan" (i remember reading it that day in the newspaper) ... others began calling him "black jesus" and "the black cat" later
DA GOAT!!! One thing that fascinates me is the number of times in EVERY game that he took the shot at the end of the shot clock.. had to have been at least 80%. Because of that, he didn't know pressure hitting game winners, he had already done it ALL game. People who didn't watch him growing up didn't know how CLUTCH he was.. there will NEVER be anybody even close to what he was... NEVER!!! My world stopped when The Bulls were on. Never knew what he was going to next, something never seen before....
This video is just the TIP of the iceberg I’m born and raised in Chicago, I witnessed all six of the championships religiously he was doing this the whole season all 82 games plus the playoffs and that’s facts!
I love watching these reaction videos because for 18-20 minutes you get to watch what I got to live personally growing up. When the GOAT debate comes up, there is never a doubt. MJ played both sides of the ball. Wish you could have seen how many times he had my full attention every game. Thanks for sharing.
Here comes the army of UA-cam LeBron haters. Dozens of statistician s have already pointed out that LeBron hit a greater percentage of clutch shots than Kobe. The numbers are out there despite what you revisionists think. LeBron was also FAR MORE EFFICIENT than Kobe. So go cry about it.
@@Hibbs4Prez LeBron also plays in a very soft era of basketball he wouldn't be able to hang back in the 80s or 90s but the greats from back then would be averaging 40 points a game nowadays
@Hibbs4Prez More efficient? Bron shoots freaking 20% in clutch situations GTFOH with that nonsense 😂😂😂, He sucks at shooting in general especially compared to Freaking MJs near 50%
Great video guys. One of the best I've seen. You both seem to be very genuine when watching. With that said, even though this video is amazing it pales in comparison to when watching a full game in context. MJ is by far separate from any player that's playing today. The man still stands alone when it comes to his greatest on the court. He is definitely the bar and the standard by which excellence is measured. All these years and people are still amazed by his highlights. They can only be copied and never duplicated. MJ=True GOAT!
Knick fan here. I watched every Bulls games on WGN, TNT,TBS, etc. 1979 till now. What people dont understand, in every crucial moment of every game, the defense knew it was going to MJ and they still couldnt stop it.
Glad you liked the video. i Watched him play and i'm a bulls fan from new jersey. I have seen him play live in madeson square garden and it was crazy. and by the way look up his videos just on passing you would be amazed and watch his vids steels.
Only 5 players in NBA history have won the Scoring Title and NBA Finals in the same season. MJ is one of them and he did it 6 times. All the others combined, 4 times. One of the physical attributes that separates him from most other players in history, is his hands. Watch his ball fakes, he has huge hands which allows him to grip the ball tightly with 1 hand. His hands allowed him to grab the ball out of the air with one hand, they allowed him to do anything with the ball in the air, which made his layups and ability to constantly move the ball around much easier. Phil Jackson actually talked about it in an interview.
4:00 Yes, he can shoot 3s. He’s COMPLETE, meaning he does EVERYTHING (both sides of the ball). That’s why he’s 6-0 and always will be♥️#YourFavoriteCouldNever 18:31 THREE STRAIGHT (that happened twice) #6-0
MJ did this 80-82 games a season 100mph on BOTH sides of the court...GOAT and it's not even close 🐐
I agree that he’s the goat but playing the full season back then was pretty common. Guys make more money now haha gotta give them some games. Like Tatum played in 74 games this year. Missing 8 games is not that crazy lol
Yea but the league was also a lot more physical back in the 80s and 90s.

Same here.... I used to hate Jordan when he played, especially after what he did to my Suns in 93, but as soon as he retired (the second time) I was like "Yep he's the goat, no question about it" lol
Same, mostly because I was a Pistons fan, and hated all the bandwagon jumpers. But now with age and hindsight I can admit he is the undeniable GOAT
Exactly. I’m a diehard Suns fan. 1993 but I can’t deny his greatness
I feel the exact same way about James. I root for every team that James plays against.
I don't deny that James is a great player but I can't stand him, never have. In my opinion, James is not even on the same level as Jordan.
Part of what makes MJ the goat is because he was so clutch. He played his best in the biggest moments, when his team needed it the most. He didn't just have one 3 peat, he had two.
BIG Facts. There was no one better than Jordan in pivotal moments. That's why he's the GOAT.
Against trash opponents. Never beat a great team. Name one great team he beat. When he was winning, he clearly had the best team in the league. It wasn’t even close
@@franknatti5367That's because they where the best team for a reason he is the Goat, just Google how many other All Stars and hall of famers he kept them from winning a championship in the 90's.
Unlike Lebron where almost any other Hall of Famers or AllStars where winning championships on hes watch😂😂.
There's a reason why the Bulls where the Juggernauts in the 90's with a target in their back and kept winning, something that not even steph curry and the Warriors could do in the 2010's much less LeBump
So keep on hating !😂😂
In games with less than 30 seconds on the clock and a 2 point game Jordan shot 50%. In the same situations Lebron shoots 20%
@@franknatti5367 Please stop the NONSENSE! So you're telling me a team with Penny Hardaway, Shaq, Dennis Scott and Nick Anderson were not great?
What teams would you classify as great? The teams that were stacked with four and five Hall of Famers in the 1980's because they made backdoor deals
to get all the best players? Jordan played with ONE All Star teammate during his championship years, and he won six out of six. Tell me what all of Jordan's
teammates accomplished individually after they left the Bulls? There were great teams in the 1990s. But history does not remember the teams that finished
second. History only remembers the teams that won.
Best shot-blocking guard all-time, highest clutch % in history, only player to never lose a finals. His ball-fakes were so slick, and then his athleticism, Offfensive/Defensive I.Q, and hands that could palm a pumpkin made him a Basketball nightmare, Living video game cheat code.
I love the quote: “Michael Jordan made you look slow. Larry Bird made you look stupid”. 😂
Larry Bird was that dude. He'd talk a ton shit, tell what he was going to do, do it, then keep reminding you the rest of the game that he did it. In case you forget.
MJ made you look slow AND stupid.
Larry was nothing without black men
@@Jbeeze82 Congrats dude. You played yourself.
@@TRivera13 says a weak 🐷
Always awesome seeing young people witness some Jordan magic and not knowing what to say afterwards 😊 MJ was just on another level, playing almost every single game, giving 110% offensively AND defensively, never slacking, winner mentality. One of the most competitive athletes in the history of sports.
when she said "it was different; he's different" ...thats what i've been trying tell some of these gen zers the last few yrs about mj
there are GREAT PLAYERS
and then theres mj
He won three straight Then retired after the third one Came back a year and a half later and won three straight again
makes no sense does it?
Stop lying they lost when he came back. Another lie told by the MJ stans
@@franknatti5367we dont have to lie--- he far surpasses lebalco WITHOUT using even peds
defensive player of the yr award AND scoring title AND mvp in the same season... lebalco couldnt do that even WITH peds
they won 3 straight when he came back for the SECOND TIME ---2 THREE PEATS
lebalco has how many 3 peats?
he played the last 17 games of 1994-95 season after not playing for 2 yrs
13- 4 over those games; then scottie didnt get it done in playoffs (you clowns say scottie was better than jordan right? so why are you blaming mj for losing that yr?)
before jordan came back they were 34-31 w/ scottie as the best player... then 13- 4 when jordan returned
now go have some spaghettiio-s with a tuna sandwich and hush
@@franknatti5367 Yeah he came back at the end of the season with a month left after not playing for almost two years and lost to the Magic in the playoffs Then the next year swept the Magic on his way to winning three straight AGAIN Is that specific enough for you
@@franknatti53672 three peats kid
Great reaction! Jordan played intense every single game. Just to give you an idea of how durable he was... in his final 3-peat run, for 3 years, he did not miss ONE game in either the regular season or playoffs. He played every single game.
It was crazy to watch him back then, and I still haven't seen anything like him since that can play that intensely and win.
In his first nba finals against Magic Johnson, Jordan averaged the most assists in a finals series by anyone not named magic johnson. He averaged 11.4 assists.
Jordan proved he could do literally anything by breaking records to prove the media wrong...
Didn't know that!
@jalesbarjo4740 raised in Chicago the ,mj game to Chicago when i was 10,biggest mj fan didn't know that til I did the nba2k 11 and had to do the jordan challenge. Meant for 20 years I didn't know that
@@jalesbarjo4740 He also shut the media down in the '92 Finals when they compared Drexler and MJ and Clyde Drexler said the only difference between them was Clyde could shoot the 3. MJ proceeded to land 6 3-pointers in one half, setting a record and doing so on 6-for-10 shooting. He then said "Drexler is a better 3-point shooter than I CHOOSE to be."
I saw an interview with John Starks recently where he said that they would get scouting reports on players. `Favors his right,` `poor mid range shooter,` etc. When it got to MJ it just said "Good Luck!" 😏
🤣🤣🤣
I was a witness to the greatest to ever touch a basketball!!
Young man, at the 11:00 mark, the right-hand lay-up, switch to the left, was not unnecessary. If you look at the guy under his right hand, it is Sam Perkins a well-known shot blocker. When Jordan went up with his right, Perkins moved and Jordan switched hands because he thought Perkins was making a play on the ball. Jordan was one of the most efficient players ever, not wasting movements on flash. What you’re seeing is his creativity off dribble. This play was an example of how fast he can change his play while his athletic ability allows him to pull it off. Cheers
Grew up in that era, was a Magic and Lakers fan but knew when MJ came, we knew he was going to win a lot of titles..
Magic was my favorite player but Jordan is the Greatest. Nobody has had a 3000 point season since MJ. Check out Jordan "One of the best defenders ever"......
The thing they dont talk enough about was his quickness he had 4.38 speed which is like first round, first pick, NFL wide receiver speed. Come out of a cut with that kind of speed, your chasin' a jet with broken ankles and a broken heart.
I'm also pretty sure the man had between a 44 inch and 47 inch vertical jump from standing.....
@DankRy23 48' highest recorded in NBA history! Plus he had over 2 seconds of hang time in the air! Michael MJ was a Cheat Code!
I'm from Detroit and from the Jordan ERA. I hated MJ at the time. He just didn't lose. You couldn't beat this man. As a Bad Boy Pistons fan, he destroyed us. He is the GOAT, period!!!!
Lived in the Chicago area. Was not a basketball fan until he was drafted. Every game and I mean every game he did multiple things that were just never done before. They played in the Chicago stadium in the beginning but made the bulls so much $ they built the united center across the street. We call it the house Jordan built. Need to check out his defense highlights. Led the league in scoring a ton and at the same time was all defense team
I was not into Basketball but hearing about Michael Jordan and me watching one of hes games I was hooked after that. I was watching michael jordan play basketball when I first started high school back in 1993 I remember buying the chicago's bull's start jacket And I was born and raised in new Orleans And represent Chicago Bulls and never been to chicago. Miss them days
Born in 82 and I watched his whole career including watching him play live twice as a kid
Born in 77, never saw him live, but I never missed a game when the Bulls were on.
Literally, the courts were empty
I grew up in the 90's watching him. I saw one live game that he played in because tickets were impossible to get. He is the GOAT!!!! And remember, they could hit you back then.
It's refreshing to see our young people appreciating what came before them as we did. I love what you're doing. Keep up the good work. I have an old school gem for you. Check out STEVIE WONDER "ALL I DO". Young Micheal Jackson in the chorus...
And he win 3 Championships in a row retired for 2 years and came back and won 3 in a row again.
And you're correct, he didn't always LIKE to pass, but when he did, he was a master. There was one All-Star game, he and Shaq were on the same team. He was feeding Shaq most of the game, amazing passes.
You notice how impeccable his footwork was? He had no wasted movements. No unnecessary dribbling. 2 or 3 dribbles...bucket.
Exactly. And in his second 3 peat years, that 2 or 3 dribbles went to 1 or 2 then a pull up or fadeaway. He was a surgeon out there...
There's only one Michael Jordan #23 he's the G.O.A.T
MJ is GOAT!! The man can do it all. His fade-aways, impossible to guard.
Michael Jordan, Bo Jackson, Barry Sanders, Dan Marino, Randall Cunningham, David Robinson, Deion Sanders and on and on.. The 90's were the best time to be a fan of NBA and NFL.
I have been watching the NBA for 53 years. He was not my favorite as i was a Laker fan in those days, but i could never doubt his greatness as well as the fact he is The Goat.
I believe he and his teammates would have won 8 straight titles if he had not left to play baseball in 1994 and 1995.
I've never seen another with the skill set Jordan displayed constantly. He gave 110% every minute. He was durable, clutch, creative, always the best player on the court, both sides of the ball, and The Goat. No doubt.
I agree on the possibility of 8 straight. Iirc it was Houston that won both titles while he was retired and if it wasn't for being slightly rusty and out of shape he almost took the bulls to the finals and there's a very low chance that Houston would've gotten that second title that year.
me too same thing
i'm from ny
we loved mike but he made us hate him in the late 80s early 90s ...beat the knicks in the playoffs every time
even spotted us the first two games in 1993 and then won 4 straight
@patrickevans9604 I agree. You could tell MJ was not at his peak physically when he came back. Played the last 15 or so and the playoffs. I was a Magic fan and I know we only beat them because of that.
1. MJ 2. Bird 3. Daylight 🎯
He was asked by the team/coaches to score at will. The team was at it's best when he went off. He could pass very well, there is a vid of how MJ back in 89 played PG for like 35 games. He had a stretch of 10 out of 11 games with a triple double.
That is truth and it was 12 straight game
@@jamesscott3469 Yeah 12 out of 13 when I looked it up now.
Y'all are making me remember such a great time!! So glad you did this.
"you can't stop him, you can only hope to contain him"..that was said about Jordan..
I was in my 20s living in Chicago during the Bulls championship rally total chaos around town those years
He's the goat and no one comes close
It was a blessing to watch Jordan's career.
In 1989, The Bulls put MJ at point guard for 11 games. He had 10 triple doubles and averaged 33.6 points, 11.4 rebounds, and 10.8 assists. Along with 2.9 steals and 0.8 blocks per game. He could pass, but his job was to score points.
Yup, he averaged 8 assists one season
@@SC-lb2hl32-8-8 in 1988
I love your talking and thank you very much for mentioning Michael Dad..have a beautiful blessed day.🙏
Jordan was a gift the basketball❤
Awesome reaction, MJ was unreal
The important thing is that Jordan did this game in game out with no time management. It was full throttle all the way. You have guys today that can emulate MJ'S game but none of them can sustain the level of play on offense for more than a few games much less on defense. It was a great time.
And he did that while having a hard partying lifestyle, only getting 4-5 hours of sleep before games AND playing 18 holes of golf before warmups.
Dude was an ANIMAL.
Maaan I LOVE yall acknowledgement of this mans greatness. I grew up watching with amazing EACH game. That era in general was soooo much better in the sense of team work, the stars being in dunk contests, the NBA themed music during the game intros and halftime shows etc, Jordan was like watching Mike Tyson in that you KNEW the opponents were in trouble when they Mike or Mike was on the scene.
As a huge NBA fan and as a content creator myself, I truly appreciate yall for sharing this and giving your impressions 💯✊🏿🔥 Respect
Yall have a new supporter
Saw Jordan live once n I promise u that’s prob the most packed arena I’ve ever been to..it was when he came back n hit the game winner against the hawks in Atlanta in the highlight..crazy to witness
I think in the several years this MJ video has been on UA-cam, you guys have the best reaction. I've seen dozens of them so congrats!
There's a lot more videos then only this. He won the championship 3 times in a row twice. This is one reason why I say and always will say that Michael Jordan is and always will be the G.O.A.T
I truly feel bad for the generation that never got to watch MJ. This broke the hearts of so many people and yet they love him. I'm a suns fan this man had me crying like a baby when he beat Barkley and yet I own 5 pairs of his shoes. I've been watching LeBron... Don't own a single pair of brons. See the difference.
As a Tar-Heels fan he's the G.O.A.T Michael Jordan #23 1st Round 3rd overall pick in the 1984 NBA Draft out of the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill drafted by the Chicago Bulls 6-0 in NBA Finals in 1990's 6X Finals MVP and a 5X NBA's MVP too
Jordan worked very hard off the court in the weight room. He recognized that to be the best every single game, he had to condition his body more than anyone else. RESPECT the legendary work ethic. #TheLastDance 🏆🏀
MJ had a 48' verticle
Damn, 48 feet? That's impressive.
He could jump over a car. I've seen him do it.
@@TopNotchStoner48" 😂😂😂😂
Leaping skyscrapers in a single bound lol. 48 feet is wild
This is the man he had to become to beat Magic and Bird and the Bad Boys. This is what it took to win at the highest level. And he had to maintain that to suppress everyone who wanted to take the crown, get revenge, or get some comeuppance.
You should watch other players talking about when they played against him. Kevin Garnett has one of the most hilarious stories ever. You didn't talk trash to him. He made you pay for it, lol. The NBA back then WAS an intense game. They didn't just win 3 straight. They won 3 straight TWICE!
i saw that one from garnett
yeah it was funny
The one with KG and JR Rider telling the same story? Yes. That one was funny as hell...😂😂😂
I’m 63 mannnn, I love watching you two young people experience MJ for the first time. I am old enough to experience when Jordan actually play and always been a fan of his. Just when I thought I seen all the great things about him, you guys showed me how it is to see young people like you two witness him for the first time. Thank you.
Michael Jeffrey Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time And it's not remotely close. This video will be shown for the next 100 years because this is what perfection looks like great reaction. 👏👏👏💯🐐🐐23

i was watching this mixtape a few days ago and thinking "the next time they send a space probe out like they did way back in 1979 to leave our solar system out into space (i think it was named 'voyager'; took decades for it to leave our system) they should INCLUDE THIS MIXTAPE " (they included things like the music of johann sebastian bach on that one)
thats how impt what that man was doing actually is in my opinion--- it was incredible to watch and people from this gen think you're lying when you tell them lebron is not really even CLOSE to jordan
yeah its as if he was the PERFECT BASKETBALL PLAYER
Didn’t the actual term goat get created cause of mj solely like that’s why we made the word before it was a word
Great reaction guys, good on you to not pause on everything or you would’ve had a hour reaction video for a 15 minute video. Good job noticing him not passing like Larry, it was because he had no one to pass to like Larry did. Also the best thing that Kobe picked up from MJ was to play for the fans. MJ knew when he came to your town, people were coming to see him. So he didn’t take the night off, unless he was really hurt and couldn’t give you the show you deserved.
Yep.
back then they play positional basketball, he passes but his role is a shooting guard. when he played point for several games for the the Bulls he averaged around 11 assists.
Random craziest stat ever. Jordan from 1986-1998 averaged 43.6 points per 100 possessions in the playoffs.
Goat
Jordan once said, divers work a multitude of actions once they leave the board before they hit the water. Anything inside the free-throw line is my pool.
Indeed it was! Easier to understand his craftmanship in the air when you consider things this way!
Players play basketball. Jordan is basketball ❤
Also dominant on defense. 1988 DPY and 9-time all NBA Defensive Team. There’s Jordan and then there’s everybody else.
This is FACT!
Hey guys I just subscribed. I really appreciate this video. I was 10 years old in 1990 (wearing the jordan 5s )..I saw almost every game jordan played in the 90s and this cat was different and still til this day!! I’m glad to see you guys recognize what Mj was about ! when you get a chance, please watch Michael Jordan’s top 60. I’m sure we all would love to see that reaction !!
Undeniable, he is by far the GOAT!!
He "floated" just a bit at the top of his vertical 🤔
I questioned gravity when watching as a teen so, he's my G.O.A.T. 😂
MJ swag is par none ! I was fortunate to watch him play back in the day ! 🐐
GOAT and its not even close. Best player on both sides of the court year after year. Complete package.
I’ve watched from wilt on live. So many great players from Wilt to lebron and now Luka. So to even be considered a top 10 player should be a high enough honor for any of them. I have my opinions. For me it was Wilt then Dr J then Larry then MJ and there it still is for me. He’s the best scorer I’ve ever seen. He’s the best defensive guard I’ve ever seen. And he plays all 82 games and all like every possession was like the end of the game. A non stop motor. Never missed a bulls game even though I was a sixers fan but every single game you could do one of these mixtapes. Awesome that the younger generation gets to see him in action.
Anyone who loves basketball would have liked to be Michael Jordan!
Jordan is the Tony Stark of the NBA. Yeah, there were other Avengers in his day. But 8 times out of 10, Jordan would be the one
to save the universe.
What people don't realize just from his highlights is how good Jordan was defensively. He still is number one all time in blocks per game as a guard. (0.9) Jordan is 4th all time in steals. Jordan was All-Defensive First Team nine times (tied for first all time) and won Defensive Player of the Year in 1988.
Oh...and he also won 10 scoring titles and was 6-0 in the Finals without even seeing a game 7
16:15 He's not even gonna yell at you he's more likely just to look at you , possibly mutter /say some shit about who's in charge and then do you even worse on then next play and then the next 10 to twelve plays after that , just because your attempt to block his dunk offended him for some reason LMAO
Yep lord help u if he took it personal lol
Jordan was a winner. He loved winning, and he considered any effort to stop him from winning to be an affront (and would punish it accordingly). GOAT.
GOAT!!!!🐐 easy!!!
Thanks for being so respectful and genuine in your appreciations of MJ! PS: your reactions were so cute!
The only repeat 3-peat in the modern era.
For all the men raising kids, do not buy them Jordans until they watch this mixtape of the GOAT. They must understand why they were not just shoes to us.💯
Lebron and Kobe studied Mike. Kobe would call Mike in the middle of the night to ask how he did certain moves.
Probably the most fun reaction i have watched to date lol and a new follower im looking forward to watching more love from Aotearoa New Zealand 🔥🔥
Barkley, Bird, Magic Johnson and all other superstar that time they all called him Black Jesus 😂
Bird called him black Jesus after he droped 63 on the Celtics in the playoffs.
And he called him the black one...Because they already named Bird the White Jesus!
@@jalesbarjo4740 nah bird called him exactly "god in the person of michael jordan" (i remember reading it that day in the newspaper) ... others began calling him "black jesus" and "the black cat" later
DA GOAT!!! One thing that fascinates me is the number of times in EVERY game that he took the shot at the end of the shot clock.. had to have been at least 80%. Because of that, he didn't know pressure hitting game winners, he had already done it ALL game. People who didn't watch him growing up didn't know how CLUTCH he was.. there will NEVER be anybody even close to what he was... NEVER!!! My world stopped when The Bulls were on. Never knew what he was going to next, something never seen before....
You need to react to Dr. J. Michael Jordan emulated him. Dr J played for the 76ers. He was the MASTER
he was 'that dude' before mj
This video is just the TIP of the iceberg I’m born and raised in Chicago, I witnessed all six of the championships religiously he was doing this the whole season all 82 games plus the playoffs and that’s facts!
You need to see Pistol Pete Maravich
I love watching these reaction videos because for 18-20 minutes you get to watch what I got to live personally growing up. When the GOAT debate comes up, there is never a doubt. MJ played both sides of the ball. Wish you could have seen how many times he had my full attention every game. Thanks for sharing.
LeBron James couldn't even hang back in the day he's nowhere near as clutch as Kobe or Michael Jordan
Here comes the army of UA-cam LeBron haters. Dozens of statistician s have already pointed out that LeBron hit a greater percentage of clutch shots than Kobe. The numbers are out there despite what you revisionists think. LeBron was also FAR MORE EFFICIENT than Kobe. So go cry about it.
@@Hibbs4Prez what's LeBron's finals record 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Hibbs4Prez LeBron also plays in a very soft era of basketball he wouldn't be able to hang back in the 80s or 90s but the greats from back then would be averaging 40 points a game nowadays
@Hibbs4Prez More efficient? Bron shoots freaking 20% in clutch situations GTFOH with that nonsense 😂😂😂, He sucks at shooting in general especially compared to Freaking MJs near 50%
Great video guys. One of the best I've seen. You both seem to be very genuine when watching. With that said, even though this video is amazing it pales in comparison to when watching a full game in context. MJ is by far separate from any player that's playing today. The man still stands alone when it comes to his greatest on the court. He is definitely the bar and the standard by which excellence is measured. All these years and people are still amazed by his highlights. They can only be copied and never duplicated. MJ=True GOAT!
48 inch vertical. NBA record to this day. I saw him twice in person. The man was out of this world. Every night was an event.
Knick fan here. I watched every Bulls games on WGN, TNT,TBS, etc. 1979 till now.
What people dont understand, in every crucial moment of every game, the defense knew it was going to MJ and they still couldnt stop it.
Glad you liked the video. i Watched him play and i'm a bulls fan from new jersey. I have seen him play live in madeson square garden and it was crazy. and by the way look up his videos just on passing you would be amazed and watch his vids steels.
48" vert is what wikipedia says. Highest of all time to this day. He also ran as fast as a modern NFL running back.
So glad I grew up with WGN during the 80's - 90's
Loved watching you two react to MJ. I can tell you truly love the game. Wish y'all the best
Only 5 players in NBA history have won the Scoring Title and NBA Finals in the same season. MJ is one of them and he did it 6 times. All the others combined, 4 times. One of the physical attributes that separates him from most other players in history, is his hands. Watch his ball fakes, he has huge hands which allows him to grip the ball tightly with 1 hand. His hands allowed him to grab the ball out of the air with one hand, they allowed him to do anything with the ball in the air, which made his layups and ability to constantly move the ball around much easier. Phil Jackson actually talked about it in an interview.
4:00 Yes, he can shoot 3s. He’s COMPLETE, meaning he does EVERYTHING (both sides of the ball). That’s why he’s 6-0 and always will be♥️#YourFavoriteCouldNever 18:31 THREE STRAIGHT (that happened twice) #6-0
I grew up watching him and I’m from his home town. I went to school with his cousins and my Dad worked at GE with his Dad.
