If you don't get hyped up after watching MJ vids, you may not be a basketball fan. Been watching hoops for 40+ yrs...the man literally transcended basketball & became a global icon w/o sns and internet.
The thing most people now don't get, is that watching him live was a highlight every feckin' night. The athleticism we had never seen before in the game, the grace of his movement, the ballhandling, the speed, the defense. It was literally as if he was from a different time.
M.J wasnt only the scoring champ but he also won defensive player of the year !!! M.J was stealing , blocking and locking on everyone while playing 82 games !!! M.J is the Goat no comparison bro
One thing forgotten about MJ today is the fact that he essentially created the perimeter-oriented guard role we see everywhere in the modern NBA. During his time, the league was much more oriented towards post play and size, punishing smaller players. The rules were incredibly different. basically 90% of modern hesis were illegal back then because of strict carrying rules, there were strict rules about moving screens and gather steps, handchecking allowed bigger players a better ability to impede smaller players, no defensive 3 second meant there was always a big under the rim, 3 point line was like 6 years old when he entered the league, etc. Guards were much more playmaking focused and very few teams ran offenses through small guards because they just weren’t reliable offensive options at that moment. Magic was there but he was huge; Isiah was also good but he never was a great shot creator . MJ was able to show the league that you could be a dominant guard and contribute to championships - but he was just immensely talented and the most athletic guard of all time, and he had gifts other players didn’t. After he retired, the league was worried about a rating dip, so they purposefully started relaxing a bit on ball-handling rules, allowed zones, loosened calls on moving screens, got rid of handchecking, put in a defensive 3 second rule to make efficient post-play harder and make it easier for little guards. As a result, players like Steve nash and AI were able to become stars, and it became a lot easier to use threes and perimeter shooting to win games in the league. Players copied MJ’s midrange and inside game to some success - Kobe and Ginnobli were great, many other guards not so much - but couldn’t match his efficiency because they didn’t have a player as good as Jordan. Once teams finally started to optimize under the rule changes the three game really started showing up, and the NBA started to be officiated like it is nowadays. Without MJ, every single modern undersized guard there was - Curry, Dame, Kyrie, Poole, Nash, AI, DWade, CP3, Dbook, etc. - would likely have not as been effective. Every modern NBA guard can trace their play style back to Jordan - who did it all in a league that wasn’t so perimeter oriented. And that’s why I think he’s the goat.
Smooth like butter, and he made them all game long in his older years. This is a move and shot Lebron can't touch or duplicate in the fashion and accuracy that MJ did. Just sayin'
MICHAEL JORDAN IS A WARRIOR!!!! ON BOTH ENDS OF THE COURT!!!! NEVER COMPLAINED, JUST FINISHED EACH GAME AS A CHAMPION AND EVERYONE FEARED HIM AND HIS ABILITIES IN THE GAME!
Best athlete in team sport history….bar none His game was beautiful to watch while he was ripping hearts out My favorite story was in 1987 when following a dunk on John Stockton a fan heckled him down the court telling him to pick on someone his own size so the next time down the court, he posterized 7’1” Mel Turpin then turned to the fan and asked, “Was he big enough?” Classic
It used to break my heart the way they would treat him. Beating him up and he never stopped coming. No matter what! There is No Debate.... MJ is the GOAT. At least for our lifetime.
That's what I loved about him the most, the heart Jordan displayed is unmatched. You could knock him down all game long and Jordan wouldn't stop attacking, he was relentless!
@@myriandominguezImagine playing a whole career triple teamed where you could hand check, Grab, Throw people down, Elbow without any fouls🤷♂️🤷♂️MJ did that!!
I’m blessed to have been able to witness his airness. He was just so cold blooded 🥶!! I love how the game has evolved. I’m not a old head hater. But having said that! No one other than the black mamba has come close! RIP 🪦 Kobe!
Bro unless you watched the Bulls you don’t understand. He played like that every game. I was blessed to watch M.J. and Berry Sanders as a kid. The best ever.
Pay attention to fundamentals and balance. Those things are ignored. But he is always balanced and fundamentally absolutely sound. On offence and on defense. No vacations or downtime on either side of the ball.
The physicality Jordan had to deal with back then that you saw in this video (especially vs the "Bad Boy" Pistons) was something that today's players don't have to deal with. Hell, today with most of those fouls you'd see the refs go to the replay monitor to upgrade to a flagrant 1 or 2. And Jordan was still dropping 30 every night and playing 80+ games a year. No "load management".
There were probably 20 other players in the league at that time that could've replaced Scottie in that Bulls team and the result would've been the same, while there was not a single person at that time and probably years after that could've replaced Jordan.
Imagine him today's game with a euro-step, damn near no defense to touch him, can carry and travel to your hearts content. We would probably witness every record being broke. 😂
People argue that he wasn't a good 3 point shooter, they fail to realize that he didn't have to be, it wasn't as utilized as much back then. If that man played in todays game he would have raised that part of his game as well so add threes to his scoring average as well as his foul shots at least doubling. He'd be a living cheatcode, Godmode.
The Air Jordan with hair was just unfair. I saw that version of him a few times in person and he was half-man, half-jaguar. How quick he was with his reflexes and how quick he was able to get off ground with one or two feet was just insane. Those that weren't able to witness Mike in person will never know just how quick the black cat was.
After Michael Jordan Dad passed R.I.P.. He had to find himself and Everyone and even the Team that was built around him, was hurt, even to this day. Soo, I believe that's why there is still pain and confusion about, what could have been. In The End, They All Still Respect Michael Jordan. It's basically, What Could Have Been. My Condolences to Michael Jordan, his Father left too soon. This is coming from Fayetteville NC.
What's crazy is that 35 years later he's still the most all-around athletic player the game has seen. Just watch 9:10. No one else in NBA history can do whatever that is.
Mike made everything look so damn easy! I grew up a Pistons fan in the 80's and 90's so I couldn't stand Jordan but I always gave him his props. If you've seen his hang time live it was even more ridiculous than in slow mo. At least in slow mo, you know it's slowed down so it's a little easier to make sense of, but live it was ridiculous! And to think that this man was cut from his high school basketball team and turned into this. He was so damn smooth, MJ is the G.O.A.T.!
You just watched the "god' of basketball. And I respect you having Lebron as your GOAT... but it's MJ all day for me. This guy transcended basketball and revolutionized the whole NBA business.
Tú no te imaginas la emoción que te perdiste al no poder ver a este excelente jugador mejor del mundo, personalmente en la cancha. Los que pudimos verlo, nos consideramos extremadamente afortunados y felices por haber estado ahí en la historia del baloncesto. MJ ...... The Best Forever.
MJ is the « Michael Jordan » of…. G.O.A.T.s. There’s a reason that’s an expression, applied to ALL sports, even all fields. When someone is the « Michael Jordan » of their field, ping pong, chess, poker, whatever, they are « head and shoulders » above the rest, literally.
12:32 Depends. If instead of Scottie, Jordan gets another great teammate, like Patrick Ewing, David Robinson, Payton, Stockton, and Jordan will still win championships. However, if Scottie loses Jordan and gets just a great teammate instead, he probably won't win anything. Scottie is replaceable, Jordan is not.
I get how you love Lebron I truly do. I grew up in the Jordan era and to us nobody did what did until he came. MJ changed the game in so many ways. It was a spectacle. He also changed the sneaker game for all athletes . Everybody was rocking the same standard shoe before he came along. He did so many on the court moves that put us is awe. At the same time his greatness was evident and without question and he had the confidence and killer mindset to finish what he intended to do. The only other athlete to compete with that mindset was Kobe imo. I love Lebron's athleticism but to me they are not even close. Players today are too coddled and entitled. You just had to experience the 90's NBA. You Lebron fans grew up with Bron like we grew up with MJ. What most of us are saying is that MJ. To us MJ is the template where we measure those that come behind him. He was a God walking amongst men and you still see how his influence transcended throughout the culture today. You should check out The Last Dance if you haven't.
I'd also like add that once teams started seeing how the "Jordan Rules" were effective for the Pistons, other teams started trying to beat Jordan to a pulp to stop him. He had to adjust his game and adapt to start doing those funky reverse layups, doing a 180 mid air to stop them from grabbing his arms as easily and was still makin em. So when people act like Jordan couldn't adapt to shoot more 3s in todays era, I tend to roll my eyes.
Great reaction bro, imma keep the same energy as you and keep it real. I think mj wouldn't have won 6 without scottie but I think he could have won a few without him in his prime. People don't say nice things about his wizards years but in 02' he had the wizards on a 26-21 clip on their way to be a 4th or 5th spot in the playoffs and who knows maybe they might have made it to the finals but all that ended when he tore his meniscus and had to sit out the season
The best finish I ever seen by Michael Jordan hands down was either in the 91 All-Star game or maybe the 92 All-Star game but he just came down the length of the court and went up in the paint like God among mortals dunking the basketball! At the time there was just no one who could do what Michael Jordan could do and they were incredible times indeed...
80‘s and 90‘s basketball in one sentence: „How the freakin hell MJ did that?“ Every fuggin time he payed, you would hear that in your head and from any other guy near by you! That was so cool to watch. Never ever basketball will be exiting again 😢😢😢
Dude, did something special every game.He never took a night off.You never wanted to miss a game his whole career, fearing you'd miss something.He had us all in the palm of his hand,like how he handled his rock. Pure genius!
the crazy thing is, this was damn near every game, you drop your jaw to mj doing this. Thats the thing that younger people cant comprehend unless you watched him live. His highlights was a regular day for us..
The GOAT Jordan layup for me is EASILY the one he did on 2/16/91 (the day before his birthday and during his first championship year - prime bulls, prime Jordan). It’s literally called “The Layup” and there’s a reason for this. Just watch the Nets bench. One of the most cerebral, instinctive, and athletic plays I’ve ever witnessed. Inhuman.
You absolutely nailed it with the elegance comment. It’s not that he had a 48” vertical it was the absolute control while in the air that made him different. Nothing like him before or since.
Love that you have yours guy but you can recognize the brilliance without making it a pissing competition. Basketball just wasnt the same without mj for me. Dont think anyone will ever make me feel the same way watching a game
I remember watching that game where Jordan switched to the left handed layup, and I was so pleased that he selected the safest shot he had in the reprituare to ice the game with.
You should look up Jordan at Point Guard by the way. If Jordan stayed at Point Guard throughout his career his numbers would be a lot different. He had his best statistical season the year he played at PG.
Bro all ill say is this, Tracy mccgrady tells the story of the bulls trying to trade scottie pippen for him but Mike put a stop to it. The bulls could've have equal or more success with Tracy who knows. What we do know is scottie is troubled. There are videos after the last dance of him still talking about mike in a positive way. It wasnt until he started promoting his bourbon and his book that he started this and now I think its cause Mike son is beating his ex wife down.
I think MJ has become underrated as the years have passed. If you weren’t alive ( or at least 10-12) when MJ came into the NBA, you can’t truly appreciate how different he was. Before MJ, there was Dr J, Magic, and Bird. They were super stars. I thought they were the pinnacle of greatness. Then MJ arrived. He took it to another level that we haven’t seen before or since. If the Bulls were on tv, I was watching. It didn’t matter if they were playing the Sixers (my team). I had Sixers season tickets. I went to every home game for like 12 years in a row. When they played the Bulls though, I was going to see Jordan. I don’t remember him ever having a bad game. I do remember him doing something I had never seen before every time. When he was in town, you could feel it. The dude had a gravity that nobody else did. Today, one guy will be able to do one of the things Jordan did and a different guy will be able to do another thing Jordan did but nobody can do all of the things Jordan could do, and he did those things every night. He didn’t take games off. If I’m starting a team, I’m picking MJ 100 times out of 100
Never loss 3 games in a row , never loss the finals 6-0 , he won all the rings as a best player , he was droping 35 pts every game every day and every szn in era with handshake , GOAT 🐐 nobody even come close
Funny thing is I grew up in Chicago so you can say I'm bias but I watched almost every game as a kid with a basket ball hope and trying to copy Mike as a kid. It's only because how amazing he was and all this before he won a championship. He was just a walking highlight reel. Every game was amazing to watch what he would or could do. Kept you on the edge of your seat constantly. There was just nothing like him and never will be again.
When you say, "What are we witnessing?" That is the exact feeling those of us who lived through the Jordan era had at the time. Game after game where the entire game played like a highlight reel. Aerials like nobody in the history had seen before. Beauty, elegance, work ethic, relentless energy, relentless hunger and unquenchable insistent hunger. What are we witnessing? I felt that level of awe over and over, unbelievably so, watching MJ's seasons with the Bulls. I've not felt it once with LeBron. Respect, yes. Is he great? Yes. But never once, when watching him play, did the question "what are we witnessing here?" arise within me. It's perhaps the best argument for MJ in the MJ/LJ GOAT debate.
This gen doesn't realize how physical the game was back then. Nowadays, you can't touch anyone. Jordan took a beating every night and still showed out. He will always be my G.O.A.T.
Yeah that hang time. Everybodys feet on the floor and Jordan comes from the town over outta nowhere dunking the ball. Everybodys feet still on the floor. 😂❤
MJ is not human when he laces up. Dude is from a different planet. You would of had to have been there to truely appreciate. I am completely unbiased when I say that MJ is the best there was and ever will be. There are generational talents but MJ is a one in a lifetime phenomenon.
This why MJ is the GOAT. They tried to hurt him and he still killed them.

However, if Scottie loses Jordan and gets just a great teammate instead, he probably won't win anything. Scottie is replaceable, Jordan is not.
Your statement @6:30 was the exact reason we all were in awe of His Airness. So glad I grow up on MJ
I get how you love Lebron I truly do. I grew up in the Jordan era and to us nobody did what did until he came. MJ changed the game in so many ways. It was a spectacle. He also changed the sneaker game for all athletes . Everybody was rocking the same standard shoe before he came along. He did so many on the court moves that put us is awe. At the same time his greatness was evident and without question and he had the confidence and killer mindset to finish what he intended to do. The only other athlete to compete with that mindset was Kobe imo. I love Lebron's athleticism but to me they are not even close. Players today are too coddled and entitled. You just had to experience the 90's NBA. You Lebron fans grew up with Bron like we grew up with MJ. What most of us are saying is that MJ. To us MJ is the template where we measure those that come behind him. He was a God walking amongst men and you still see how his influence transcended throughout the culture today. You should check out The Last Dance if you haven't.
My Favorite words from MJ YOU REACH I TEACH
I'd also like add that once teams started seeing how the "Jordan Rules" were effective for the Pistons, other teams started trying to beat Jordan to a pulp to stop him. He had to adjust his game and adapt to start doing those funky reverse layups, doing a 180 mid air to stop them from grabbing his arms as easily and was still makin em. So when people act like Jordan couldn't adapt to shoot more 3s in todays era, I tend to roll my eyes.
Great reaction bro, imma keep the same energy as you and keep it real. I think mj wouldn't have won 6 without scottie but I think he could have won a few without him in his prime. People don't say nice things about his wizards years but in 02' he had the wizards on a 26-21 clip on their way to be a 4th or 5th spot in the playoffs and who knows maybe they might have made it to the finals but all that ended when he tore his meniscus and had to sit out the season
The best finish I ever seen by Michael Jordan hands down was either in the 91 All-Star game or maybe the 92 All-Star game but he just came down the length of the court and went up in the paint like God among mortals dunking the basketball! At the time there was just no one who could do what Michael Jordan could do and they were incredible times indeed...
Realest unbiased reactions I’ve seen homie. React to Jordan the best defender, then I’m locked in and subscribed 👌🏽
If the NBA made a genuinely honest top 50 layups of all time all of them would belong to MJ lmao. His layup package was otherwordly.
If I'm taking one player of all NBA, It's MJ! Nobody played both ends like Jordan. There's never been a player more competitive.
U should be the 🐐 of reaction videos 💯
😮😮Wow😮😮 is MJ human why he stands and pauses in the air like some alien 😮😮 Basketball doesn't have any thing like him again wow
❤ great video. Mj 🐐💯
Thanks 💯
80‘s and 90‘s basketball in one sentence: „How the freakin hell MJ did that?“
Every fuggin time he payed, you would hear that in your head and from any other guy near by you!
That was so cool to watch.
Never ever basketball will be exiting again 😢😢😢
these highlights occurred nightly with Jordan. Every single game, without exception.
Enjoyed the reaction bro🔥
Glad you enjoyed
Dude, did something special every game.He never took a night off.You never wanted to miss a game his whole career, fearing you'd miss something.He had us all in the palm of his hand,like how he handled his rock. Pure genius!
Appreciate you brother.
I had years of his games on vhs tapes..it was awesome seeing Jordans career.
Respect. From a MJ fan bro
Big part my childhood was watching him do this..loved every minute
My dad and I had season tickets to the Nets in the late 80's to mid 90's so I got to see all the greats in person. These videos don't do it justice.
Goat 🐐 💯
the crazy thing is, this was damn near every game, you drop your jaw to mj doing this. Thats the thing that younger people cant comprehend unless you watched him live. His highlights was a regular day for us..
The GOAT Jordan layup for me is EASILY the one he did on 2/16/91 (the day before his birthday and during his first championship year - prime bulls, prime Jordan). It’s literally called “The Layup” and there’s a reason for this. Just watch the Nets bench. One of the most cerebral, instinctive, and athletic plays I’ve ever witnessed. Inhuman.
That was like a triple clutch reverse. That shit was sick!
@@EdgarLeon-tq3ujIn traffic no less as he just floats through everyone. Like wtf…who else can do that??
Greta video man! Try to react the most greatest individual season in the History of NBA
You absolutely nailed it with the elegance comment. It’s not that he had a 48” vertical it was the absolute control while in the air that made him different. Nothing like him before or since.
Love that you have yours guy but you can recognize the brilliance without making it a pissing competition. Basketball just wasnt the same without mj for me. Dont think anyone will ever make me feel the same way watching a game
Jordan is still 1.
Jordan is incomparable! The GOAT!
I remember watching that game where Jordan switched to the left handed layup, and I was so pleased that he selected the safest shot he had in the reprituare to ice the game with.
Scotti never would have become the player he was without Jordan. Jordan knew he had potential and pushed Scotti to be better.
You should look up Jordan at Point Guard by the way. If Jordan stayed at Point Guard throughout his career his numbers would be a lot different. He had his best statistical season the year he played at PG.
Bro all ill say is this, Tracy mccgrady tells the story of the bulls trying to trade scottie pippen for him but Mike put a stop to it. The bulls could've have equal or more success with Tracy who knows. What we do know is scottie is troubled. There are videos after the last dance of him still talking about mike in a positive way. It wasnt until he started promoting his bourbon and his book that he started this and now I think its cause Mike son is beating his ex wife down.
I think MJ has become underrated as the years have passed. If you weren’t alive ( or at least 10-12) when MJ came into the NBA, you can’t truly appreciate how different he was. Before MJ, there was Dr J, Magic, and Bird. They were super stars. I thought they were the pinnacle of greatness. Then MJ arrived. He took it to another level that we haven’t seen before or since. If the Bulls were on tv, I was watching. It didn’t matter if they were playing the Sixers (my team). I had Sixers season tickets. I went to every home game for like 12 years in a row. When they played the Bulls though, I was going to see Jordan. I don’t remember him ever having a bad game. I do remember him doing something I had never seen before every time. When he was in town, you could feel it. The dude had a gravity that nobody else did. Today, one guy will be able to do one of the things Jordan did and a different guy will be able to do another thing Jordan did but nobody can do all of the things Jordan could do, and he did those things every night. He didn’t take games off. If I’m starting a team, I’m picking MJ 100 times out of 100
MJ was unbelievable!!!! Simply the man!!! You should watch some of Dr J highlights.
So blessed to have lived through that era as an adult!!
Never loss 3 games in a row , never loss the finals 6-0 , he won all the rings as a best player , he was droping 35 pts every game every day and every szn in era with handshake , GOAT 🐐 nobody even come close
Funny thing is I grew up in Chicago so you can say I'm bias but I watched almost every game as a kid with a basket ball hope and trying to copy Mike as a kid. It's only because how amazing he was and all this before he won a championship. He was just a walking highlight reel. Every game was amazing to watch what he would or could do. Kept you on the edge of your seat constantly. There was just nothing like him and never will be again.
mj is the most spectaculare player to ever play the game.
Where do you think Air Jordan comes from? You are seeing what we all saw back then. Still seen nothing like it.
He's called AIR JORDAN for a reason, the undisputed GOAT
GOAT STATUS 🐐 is not to be passed around like candy. There only could be one GOAT that has superior skills and ies. Unstoppable
The kid at the end that he put up the fadeaways against that was a young OJ Mayo who challenging Mike to one-on-one dumb move?
When you say, "What are we witnessing?" That is the exact feeling those of us who lived through the Jordan era had at the time. Game after game where the entire game played like a highlight reel. Aerials like nobody in the history had seen before. Beauty, elegance, work ethic, relentless energy, relentless hunger and unquenchable insistent hunger.
What are we witnessing? I felt that level of awe over and over, unbelievably so, watching MJ's seasons with the Bulls. I've not felt it once with LeBron. Respect, yes. Is he great? Yes. But never once, when watching him play, did the question "what are we witnessing here?" arise within me. It's perhaps the best argument for MJ in the MJ/LJ GOAT debate.
The final Boss of basketball.
🤣🤣
The goat forever timeless
MJ, without a doubt, he's the goat, no question asked.
Great reaction. Check out Jordan"one of the best defenders ever "..
This gen doesn't realize how physical the game was back then. Nowadays, you can't touch anyone. Jordan took a beating every night and still showed out. He will always be my G.O.A.T.
Jordan’s best defensive highlights vid will make you a believer!
Yeah that hang time. Everybodys feet on the floor and Jordan comes from the town over outta nowhere dunking the ball. Everybodys feet still on the floor. 😂❤
The up and under specialist! The true Goat!!
MJ is not human when he laces up. Dude is from a different planet. You would of had to have been there to truely appreciate. I am completely unbiased when I say that MJ is the best there was and ever will be. There are generational talents but MJ is a one in a lifetime phenomenon.
