Bro Jordan played teams in the finals with 1 allstar and a role player 😂 it's easy to go 6-0 when you got 4 Nba defensive team players 3 of them being allstars lmao. Lebrons had to play teams with 4-6 all stars in the starting line up lmao.... if the defense is so good in the 90s why was Jordan left open on every jump shot he took in this video? That's finals hard nose 90s defense? 😂 brons playoff opponents are twice as good and Jordan's finals opponents 🤡
You are 100% correct. There were and have been others as physically gifted as him. In fact, in his last 3 years in Chicago he was mostly a jump shot shooter. But his mental edge kept him above where everyone else was. Simple as that.

It's nice to see these old clips. They bring back a lot of memories. It's also nice to see the younger generation being educated on the history of the league.
There's no more competitive player as Michael Jordan did in the basketball. He played with compassion and he didn't give up even when his hurt or sick. THE GOAT 🐐 FOREVER
Nobody or anyone in all of sports history have been documented more than anything else as the great MJ23. That’s just real fascination of his legendary status. Even after his retirement almost 2 decades ago, he is still revered in the sports world. Media can’t get enough of MJ stories. His story goes on and on and on and on even in this digital age. MJ = Basketball. PERIOD.
The fact that jordan made difficult baskets at high efficiency, made it look sexy, and when he started winning never lost again made him the irreplaceable GOAT
Wow. Just wow. I feel lucky I was in high school and early 20s when all this was going on. And yet, living in Chicagoland but as a girl who didn't know much about sports, MJ was super popular. He actually got me into watching games. He is very blessed with his talent. It's amazing how just about all of those playoff games were so upbeat to where every second was super entertaining until the end of the game. I don't think I'll ever witness another such athlete in my lifetime!
After having been nearly 2 years out of the game following the murder of his father, HE comes back from retirement, brakes the NBA record during regular season and - once again - wins the championship and brings the trophy home... on father's day. Undoubtedly the greatest comeback in the history of any sports, and to me the greatest moment in sport's history.
I can close my eyes and call word for word some of the calls by Marv Albert and Bob Costas. THAT'S how incredible Jordan was, how iconic these moments are.
Still fires you up. The look on every guys face when Jordan was doing it says it all. Everyone was in awe. The more I watch, the more I forgot how explosive his first step was. Jordan’s by you literally in a blink. Incredible. Remember every single game watching on some tiny tv with bunny ears for antenna LOL
He will always be my one of my childhood heroes. Even now I still can’t believe how phenomenally great he was. It still sends chills through my soul watching old footage of his games.
oh, he said he could hold him, for the most part MJ was missing shots, he couldn't stop him when they needed to score, MJ always came up in the clutch.
I wasn't born during his era. I never watched jordan play live on tv. Not all of us got TV before but I can't remember how I got to know michael jordan. I mean i grew up in a small county in the phillipines but everytime we play basketball as kids we would yell "michael jordan" at every shot we attempt. Even my younger brother who was 10 years younger than me does same thing when shooting a ball when he was just a kid. How the heck did he even know michael jordan?there's no internet in our place, a 5 year old kid who watches cartoon knows michael jordan? And not LeBron? MJ's influence to basketball is HUGE. He will always be on top. After lebron retires another new guy in the nba will establish his name and will enter the GOAT conversation against MJ
Old 🤔🤔🤔🤔air jordan still selling high at high value, people still talking about 92 dream team...... Now people still talking about mj..... Without those old people, u think wat u can become....??? With no history to learn and follow
Now that's what I call clutch !!! It really does remind you how extraordinary flawless he really was during all his finals series.He really did save his best performances for when it mattered the most.This is the true measure of the man! Those 6 3's in a row...I mean come on.I have no words to describe that.Never seen it before.Just shocked with amazement!!!

@@MagicJBalla21 look at lakers now lmao 🤣🥱🤡🤡
It's nice to see these old clips. They bring back a lot of memories. It's also nice to see the younger generation being educated on the history of the league.
If MJ was in this era of today these sensitive haters would get their hearts broken 😂😂😂
The Key To Life itz amazing how big he was with no social media, it’s crazy cause he would probably would embrace all of the hate if he played todqy
The Key To Life PC culture would eat MJ alive through the media. That’s why he’s afraid of the reaction he’s going to get with this doc coming out
NBA now days is 2 soft
In todays no touch rule? MJ would drop 50 every night.
@@nicenicenice8863 yeah easy 50pt for Mj. but notice the level of elite players during that time vs today. it is also way different..
There's no more competitive player as Michael Jordan did in the basketball. He played with compassion and he didn't give up even when his hurt or sick. THE GOAT 🐐 FOREVER
Nobody or anyone in all of sports history have been documented more than anything else as the great MJ23. That’s just real fascination of his legendary status. Even after his retirement almost 2 decades ago, he is still revered in the sports world. Media can’t get enough of MJ stories. His story goes on and on and on and on even in this digital age. MJ = Basketball. PERIOD.
The fact that jordan made difficult baskets at high efficiency, made it look sexy, and when he started winning never lost again made him the irreplaceable GOAT
Wow. Just wow. I feel lucky I was in high school and early 20s when all this was going on. And yet, living in Chicagoland but as a girl who didn't know much about sports, MJ was super popular. He actually got me into watching games. He is very blessed with his talent. It's amazing how just about all of those playoff games were so upbeat to where every second was super entertaining until the end of the game. I don't think I'll ever witness another such athlete in my lifetime!
Good job ESPN. This video really captures how much better MJ is than any other player ever.
Who else misses this NBA and specially this team?.
When Mankind invents the time machine, they will go back to this time to watch the GOAT.
sign me up
@@maxpower9175 Me too !
Omg he destroyed them with those 3 pointers. He is THE GOAT!
Some people: LBJ is the GOAT
MJ: Release the tapes .
Jameel M MJ so overrated. Ppl mistake how iconic he was for his actual basketball skill.
@@kanyecrazy7440 MJ Overrated?? Nice Jokes, Kid. Because MJ basketball was famous in the world
MJ is the Goat
You lost your mine lbj is no goat he dose not have that mine killer yet like mj
@@kanyecrazy7440 Overrated, you can't say that when you haven't even scored a single point in an NBA game.
That whole video, actions, music, commentaries, gave me goosebumps... 10 minutes straight.
The greatest, no doubt!
most beautiful athlete to watch...ever! poetry in motion
That shot against the jazz was a dagger to the heart!Just like all those daggers he delivered to demoralized opponents..THE REAL GOAT
After having been nearly 2 years out of the game following the murder of his father, HE comes back from retirement, brakes the NBA record during regular season and - once again - wins the championship and brings the trophy home... on father's day.
Undoubtedly the greatest comeback in the history of any sports, and to me the greatest moment in sport's history.
The story was too perfect...
Against plumbers!!! Look at '98 Malone let them strip a ball off him like that? Weak!
@@kwadwohilton2126 malone didn't know and don't forget mj has big hands like kawhi
@@kwadwohilton2126 bro ur deluded jus like these bronsexuals.. educate urself then comeback and have a talk
Look up Niki Laudas comeback story
6-0 in the finals. All you just saw was pure greatness and a man who continuously elevated his game to the pinnacle of basketball prowess.
“That May have been the last shot Michael Jordan will ever take in the NBA” In my eyes it was..
But not the last block.
Life long lebron fan but Jordan is THE story of the nba. forever goat
I can close my eyes and call word for word some of the calls by Marv Albert and Bob Costas. THAT'S how incredible Jordan was, how iconic these moments are.
Jordan over everyone (Past, Present, Future)..... Change my mind
...even TJ McConnell?🤔
No one knows if someone better than Micheal will come and break all the NBA records. It could be someone in the future.
I football tackle headbutted a guy that said Tatum might be in that discussion one day
Jordan couldn't beat magic kareem worthy cooper scott bird mchale parish johnson Isiah dumars rodman laimbeer in the 80s
magic lakers teams are rank number 1 as the greatest team of all time
God playing basketball, never will be another like him Never!!
Still fires you up. The look on every guys face when Jordan was doing it says it all. Everyone was in awe. The more I watch, the more I forgot how explosive his first step was. Jordan’s by you literally in a blink. Incredible. Remember every single game watching on some tiny tv with bunny ears for antenna LOL
He will always be my one of my childhood heroes. Even now I still can’t believe how phenomenally great he was. It still sends chills through my soul watching old footage of his games.
Poor Russell, he's still having MJ shook nightmares 🤣
David Edwards Poor Russell?! Poor CRAIG EHLO!!
Ryan Vaughan lmao in the last minute of the game, you had to murder somebody to get a foul call back then!
@@ChuckTateD117 🤣 that's right
oh, he said he could hold him, for the most part MJ was missing shots, he couldn't stop him when they needed to score, MJ always came up in the clutch.
Watching this all over again feels like a dream like it never happened , but it did …..
No one is even close to MJ 23 I’m glad I saw him playing the game
i have nothing to say . the LEGENDARY . the GOAT . no debate . no doubt
Chicago Bulls and Michael Jordan ❤ what games!
The only people who don’t consider MJ the GOAT is old heads who lost to him and are still salty and youngins who were not born during his era.
The old heads who lost still think he's the goat.
@@spawnofsatan117 well some of them do and some don't
I wasn't born during his era. I never watched jordan play live on tv. Not all of us got TV before but I can't remember how I got to know michael jordan. I mean i grew up in a small county in the phillipines but everytime we play basketball as kids we would yell "michael jordan" at every shot we attempt. Even my younger brother who was 10 years younger than me does same thing when shooting a ball when he was just a kid. How the heck did he even know michael jordan?there's no internet in our place, a 5 year old kid who watches cartoon knows michael jordan? And not LeBron? MJ's influence to basketball is HUGE. He will always be on top. After lebron retires another new guy in the nba will establish his name and will enter the GOAT conversation against MJ
Old 🤔🤔🤔🤔air jordan still selling high at high value, people still talking about 92 dream team...... Now people still talking about mj..... Without those old people, u think wat u can become....??? With no history to learn and follow
MJ shows why people call him GOAT.
Lebron tells people he's the GOAT.
Mmm mj talks but he backs it up unlike lebum
I dont call him the goat tho
GOAT is a title you're given, not one you give yourself.
Preach. Big difference
@1 1 powerfull words
The hard contacts, the dunks, even the crowds were amazing. What an era!
...don't understand why there's even a GOAT debate. Not even close.
Lebron, bloop king hahhaa
SAME!!!!! NEVER was one as far as I’m concerned.
Agreed, plus Jordan never lost an nba title.
@Tyler Buck 6 finals mvps, 9 1st Team All Defense and 10x scoring titles in just 11 full seasons as a Chicago Bull. Enough said.
Keeps me pumping everytime I see MJ highlights, truly the GOAT 🐐
GREATEST OF ALL TIME 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
The best ever player.. The GOAT... The man who make me love basketball
@Two Three that's your opinion. I personally have two people at the Goat pedestal, Jordan and Lebron. I dont put either one higher.
@Two Three so who's the GOAT for you!?
MJ is the goat, can't be denied.
Now that's what I call clutch !!!
It really does remind you how extraordinary flawless he really was during all his finals series.He really did save his best performances for when it mattered the most.This is the true measure of the man!
Those 6 3's in a row...I mean come on.I have no words to describe that.Never seen it before.Just shocked with amazement!!!
We will never thank him enough. He will never know how much we love & respect him. All around the world. LEGENDARY
The 90's Chicago Bulls was a gangsta...
@Cutie Pie I was not born yesterday! Now a days NBA is for shifty shifty shifty soft people like you.
MJ, the 'Michael Jordan' of GOATs.
No doubt, MJ is the greatest ever!
The greatest of all time in all sports! Magnificent 🔥
His skill and physical could be matched by other players but his mentality was beyond this world and that’s super rare
The embodiment and heart of basketball. When I see footage of this man playing I cry.
😂😂😂😂
yall jordan meat riders weird bruh lol
The greatest of all time . No Doubt about it
He made the number 23 famous all around the world in all codes of sport...that's why his the goat...cause everyone wants to be like Mike...
Mj best player in era mj his a Goat❤
