bro i know jordan good at basketball, but don't make jordan like GOD
@@sharifbrown3567 Basketball is a team sport so MJ would not care about any sh*t you Bronsexuals say. The only fact that he should care is that his Bulls is the all-time best. After them, u have Kobe and Shaq's Lakers with Curry and KD's Warriors. LeBron's Lakers would lose to Jokic and Jamal's Nuggets. Im confident enough to say that even Payton's Sonics and Dirk's Mavs would swallow your LeGoat's team if the American refs are unbiased.

I’m a LeBron fan but you can’t ever take anything away from MJ. I don’t think we’ll ever see this kind of dominance again in the modern era.
Yup. It's once in a lifetime. Like babe Ruth and Michael Jackson

@domcirkat I wouldn't call LeBron a bum like alot of these clowns but respectfully, he'll never hold up to Jordan. Hell, I'd put kobe ahead of LeBron.

@@AgentGrimm-809 brrrrrt re tart
Happy 61st birthday to the G.O.A.T.
I think what The Last Dance did for me is reaffirm and strengthen MJ’s status as truly the greatest player in basketball history and perhaps the greatest sports figure of all-time 🐐
Ali maybe
Michael Jordan is the best athlete in sports history. I’m not saying pure athleticism (even tho I can argue that) I’m saying he was the best in his sport by a mile, nobody was that dominant in their sport other maybe Usain Bolt & Tom Brady.
Cristiano Ronaldo, along with MJ and Bron are the greatest athletes of all time.
I agree 100% but Wayne Gretzky takes a very close second.
@@marquisewalston377 Wayne Gretzky man, he was heads and shoulders above everybody else when he played and he still is to this day.
It's insane how big the NBA has gotten, how many players have come and gone, yet nobody still can do the things MJ was doing.
The only person that came close was kobe and no one else
Its not insane at all. The things Jordan was doing were absurd. Take the most athletic guy today and have him try those violent, truly ferociously violent, stops or changes of direction whilst going full throttle and they'd get their knees damaged. To combine that with the ability to jump stop or even jump backwards with complete balance and body control and bury a jumpshot is beyond absurd. And thats just one of his traits. Tens of Jordanoids have entered the league since, but nobody could come close to the full package because the full package is insane.
@@Fartolin Kobe stole all his moves that Jordan had to learn to improve his game and combat vs the aging process.
@@Fartolin And this is why people say Kobe is overrated. Sorry but Kobe isn’t better than Lebron, Magic, or Kareem

He can do everything.... From def to offense.... Blocking, stealing, passing, dribbling, dunking, 3 point shooting, ankle breaking, post moves, fade away, fast breaks, footwork, athleticism and etc.... Man, he is incredible
And rebound...even snatch the ball straight from a player's hands in mid-air (Charles Barkley)
@@Michael0429💯I’ve never seen a player appear as if he were everywhere on the court at once

@@keatonreinke5830Yeah, Bron can do all of that too. But Mike did all of that at 6'6" and 220 max. And he made it look so pretty.
@@keatonreinke5830 lebron can't shoot and hasn't played defense in years
The thing that blows my mind is that some of these highlights are almost 40 years old and he’s doing things that I still haven’t seen other players do.
Well said.
That's what seperate him for others and its the real testament saying that he is ahead of his time i mean come on man even today he is still way ahead
That goes for him, Wilt, and Dr. J. People try to copy these 3 and it hasn't been emulated.
I've never seen a better combination of athleticism, skill, and competitiveness.
It is insanity.
People sleep on MJ's athleticism because he has a smaller frame, but they fail to realize MJ had a higher vert than VINCE CARTER, yeah the guy who jumped over a 7 footer in the olympics. In fact MJ has the highest vert in NBA history at a staggering 48'
Bear paw hands as well
Did you see hime basically jumped over Scott Skiles half way thru this video?
I'm sure he never displayed his full vertical on court!!! His sideway dunk in dunk contest demonstrates how easily he can reach his head to rim..If he really used his full potential he'd kiss rim fking sideways and sideway is the least vertical gaining jump technique...
@@halash_gowda5127 there is a clip out there of Jordan on UA-cam where he goes up for a lob and misses. His head is above the rim I think. It's hard to tell from the video angle. Of course the 1987 dunk contest where he ducks to avoid the rim on the reserve
2nd technically wilt is 50
RIP to the young ones who thought that Lebron was the GOAT. ESPN and Jordan just reminded them who the real big boss is

Feared by everyone. 6 finals appearances, 6 finals MVP. 6 rings. There will never be another Michael Jordan.
Facts. Like, people that didn’t live through it really just need to sit down and comprehend how much he actually accomplished during his career. Like, literally the most that anybody has ever done in a 12 year/ season stretch

I am french and everyone in my country knew MJ and loved him at this time, even people who had nothing to do with basketball ! No other player had such a fame since. It's like Michael Jackson in the music industry. No other person can compare and maybe there will never be.
His ability to take off from 2 feet and get that lift is otherworldly. So glad this video exists converting LeBron fans everyday
Everything about Jordan was just so cool. The way he played, the athleticism, his looks, demeanor, movements, shooting form, the huge hands.. Even his career arc was perfect--drafted to a terrible team, advanced further in the playoffs each year, ultimately built his team to the greatest dynasty the league has seen, then left with the final game winning shot. That's why he is so beloved.
Perfectly said!
First, he played 2 more years after that shot.
2nd pippen left so he quit instead of definitely losing but at least trying to defend the title and going for a 4th straight ring.
3rd that’s not quite how his career arc went, at all..
1st year 38-44 1-3 in playoffs
2nd year 30- 52 0-3 in playoffs
3 rd year 40-42 again swept in first round.
3 first round losses and little improvement until they drafted pippen really high in the draft and Horace, and built a good deep team with them off the bench.
4th year 50 wins lost 2nd round 2-3
5th year 47
6th 55 And from there they did keep improving until they were the only dynasty/super team in the league and dominated lesser talented teams.
Jordan is one of the best, no denying that
And 4th you should look into the bill russell John Havlicek etc dynasty.. untouched.. league truly never saw anything like it and never will again
Have a good one
@@jaredfullmer5104 celtics won like 11 titles in 13 years. 8 in a row. That would prob be best dynasty.
@@jaredfullmer5104 uh, yeah... we know all that. Jordan's the GOAT for many, many, *many* reasons. What you said isn't even close to a refutation of his position as the GOAT. Guess what - all the analysts and ex players that have him as the GOAT (75%+ of the population has him as the GOAT, Lebron tends to be 2nd with 13% of the vote, then a pretty good drop off after that) - they're all perfectly aware of everything you said.
The analysts at ESPN and the Athletic who put together the top 75 greatest players of all time with Jordan at #1 - they're all aware of everything you said. You said it as though it was somehow an argument against him as the GOAT lol, as if it was some secret knowledge you have which allows you to uniquely understand his *true* place in history further down the list. I had to point out the folly of that thinking. The vast majority of knowledgeable NBA fans (fans, professional analysts, players or ex players, etc) who have him as the GOAT are perfectly aware of everything you said. It just doesn't make a dent in his GOAT case when you look at his entire body of work (individual accolades, skillset, team success, etc.).
@@jaredfullmer5104 First, he did play 2 more years after that shot but not immediately. It was about 2 years later, after when he came out of retirement to play for the Wizards.
2nd. Jordan retired not because of Pippen but more because it was Phil Jacksons last year of coaching because they was not gonna renew his contract to coach more years and Jordan had said he didn't want to play for another coach. So when they gave Phil the axe, Jordan retired and probably the reason Pippen left as well and any other good players as they knew the team was too broken up to win, because of the stupid feud with Jerry Krause because of a power struggle.. Now without Phil coaching and no Jordan or Pippen, etc. Jerry Krause would be the one to be blamed after they sucked so bad after their last championship and rightfully so. Otherwise they could of won even more championships.
3rd. The career arc was not perfect until they finally got Phil Jackson to coach and had Ted Winters "triangle offense" then they kept improving like you said and got better players along the way until they finally won. And also Jordan didn't jump around from team to team of possible contenders just so he could win a championship easier. He stayed loyal and remained with his team throughout.
4th. There was a couple good dynasty's back then like Celtics and Lakers, etc. but you have to understand back then there was only about 11 teams as opposed to like 32 today, so winning in a row would not be as hard when you have a pretty good team put together.
Have a good one, it's all good and a happy 4th of July!!! 🎆🎇😎

80's Jordan was so entertaining. Immense creativity combined with dynamic and electric athleticism.
In the 90s he was like a master he understood how to win a championships. Mid range game so smooth. The goat 🐐
Agree, his athletic ability was so insane, he was so great that people forget that he has the highest vertical jump in nba history with 48, he was so explosive in his younger years that no one can ever be until now, even in his prime at 1990-1993,
He had to build up muscles because of the Jordan Rules
His peak athleticism was the first 3-peat. The skinnier Jordan just appears more athletic to the untrained eye. To be more specific, peak-peak athletic ability Jordan was his 3rd championship season in the finals and no he didn’t fade at the end of the season because of the grueling stretch. He was a machine energized bunny with insane genetics who could progress at everything without fatigue causing him to stagnate or plateau. His trainer talks about this in his book. His 48” vertical was at this time. His trainer started working with him before the first championship season and took his vertical from 42” to 48” by the time the ‘93 finals arrived. Mentally he needed a break after this and not just cause his Father was murdered because he gave Stern fair warning before that tragic event but that was definitely the straw that broke the camel’s back.
@@encartasandiego4939 He was stronger and wiser in the 90’s but he didn’t dunk like in the 80‘s anymore. Just watch his games. He was at his peak of his game in the 90’s but not of his athleticism’s.

@Sam Scholten Haha.. man I'm dead. About to get on your ass. About to tell you why no NBA player can F with Jordan. I'm about tell you his Greatness down below!
Not only Jordan is far more skilled than Lebron, MJ's greatness cannot be touch!
His biography on the official NBA website states: "By acclamation, Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time." He was integral in helping to popularize the NBA around the world in the 1980s and 1990s, becoming a global cultural icon in the process.
His competitiveness was visible in his prolific trash-talk and well-known work ethic. Jordan often used perceived slights to fuel his performances. Sportswriter Wright Thompson described him as "a killer, in the Darwinian sense of the word, immediately sensing and attacking someone's weakest spot." As the Bulls organization built the franchise around Jordan, management had to trade away players who were not "tough enough" to compete with him in practice. To help improve his defense, he spent extra hours studying film of opponents. On offense, he relied more upon instinct and improvisation at game time.
Noted as a durable player, Jordan did not miss four or more games while active for a full season from 1986-87 to 2001-02, when he injured his right knee. Of the 15 seasons Jordan was in the NBA, he played all 82 regular season games nine times. Jordan has frequently cited David Thompson, Walter Davis, and Jerry West as influences. Confirmed at the start of his career, and possibly later on, Jordan had a special "Love of the Game Clause" written into his contract, which was unusual at the time, and allowed him to play basketball against anyone at any time, anywhere.
In 1988, Jordan was honored with the NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award and became the first NBA player to win both the Defensive Player of the Year and Most Valuable Player awards in a career. In addition, he set both seasonal and career records for blocked shots by a guard, and combined this with his ball-thieving ability to become a standout defensive player. He ranks third in NBA history in total steals with 2,514, trailing John Stockton and Jason Kidd. Jerry West often stated that he was more impressed with Jordan's defensive contributions than his offensive ones. Doc Rivers declared Jordan "the best superstar defender in the history of the game."
Jordan was known to have strong eyesight; broadcaster Al Michaels said that he was able to read baseball box scores on a 27-inch (69 cm) television clearly from about 50 feet (15 m) away. During the 2001 NBA Finals, Phil Jackson compared Jordan's dominance to Shaquille O'Neal, stating that "Michael would get fouled on every play and still have to play through it and just clear himself for shots instead and would rise to that occasion."
Larry Bird said that rookie Jordan was the best player he ever saw, and that he was "one of a kind", and comparable to Wayne Gretzky as an athlete. In his first game in Madison Square Garden against the New York Knicks, Jordan received a near minute-long standing ovation. After establishing the single game playoff record of 63 points against the Boston Celtics on April 20, 1986, Bird described him as "God disguised as Michael Jordan."
Many of Jordan's contemporaries have said that Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time. In 1999, an ESPN survey of journalists, athletes and other sports figures ranked Jordan the greatest North American athlete of the 20th century, above Babe Ruth and Muhammad Ali. Jordan placed second to Babe Ruth in the Associated Press' December 1999 list of 20th century athletes. In addition, the Associated Press voted him the greatest basketball player of the 20th century. Jordan has also appeared on the front cover of Sports Illustrated a record 50 times. In the September 1996 issue of Sport, which was the publication's 50th-anniversary issue, Jordan was named the greatest athlete of the past 50 years.
Jordan's athletic leaping ability, highlighted in his back-to-back Slam Dunk Contest championships in 1987 and 1988, is credited by many people with having influenced a generation of young players. Several NBA players, including LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, have stated that they considered Jordan their role model while they were growing up. In addition, commentators have dubbed a number of next-generation players "the next Michael Jordan" upon their entry to the NBA, including Penny Hardaway, Grant Hill, Allen Iverson, Bryant, Vince Carter, James, and Wade. Some analysts, such as The Ringer's Dan Devine, drew parallels between Jordan's experiment at point guard in the 1988-89 season and modern NBA; for Devine, it "inadvertently foreshadowed the modern game's stylistic shift toward monster-usage primary playmakers", such as Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Luka Dončić, and LeBron James. Don Nelson stated: "I would've been playing him at point guard the day he showed up as a rookie."
Although Jordan was a well-rounded player, his "Air Jordan" image is also often credited with inadvertently decreasing the jump shooting skills, defense, and fundamentals of young players, a fact Jordan himself has lamented: "I think it was the exposure of Michael Jordan; the marketing of Michael Jordan. Everything was marketed towards the things that people wanted to see, which was scoring and dunking. That Michael Jordan still played defense and an all-around game, but it was never really publicized." During his heyday, Jordan did much to increase the status of the game; television ratings increased only during his time in the league. The popularity of the NBA in the U.S. declined after his last title. As late as 2020, Finals ratings had not returned to the level reached during his last championship-winning season.
In 2016, President Barack Obama honored Jordan with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
In the documentary, Jordan explained that his famous "Flu Game" was not the flu at all, and he believes it was food poisoning from the pizza in question, something his trainer backs up. Stories that five people came to their hotel door to deliver the pizza were told, making many believe the pie was purposefully somehow spiked.
Jordan's "The Last Shot" in the Greatest Sequel in NBA History! He did 6 clutch things in the last 3 minutes of the game! (Game 6, 1998 NBA Finals)!
People who didn't even LIKE basketball would watch because of Jordan. Only Magic Johnson came close to having that effect, but not to the magnitude of Jordan.
Jordan at the age 39 was guard by a Prime Kevin Garnett and still gave him the business! - ua-cam.com/video/Eiu58lUmbA4/v-deo.html
Reminder: Ya'll young bloods don't know Mike was a killer!
Beyond all the numbers, all the accolades, all the video proof that this guy was the most skilled, athletic and artistic basketball player to ever live, and even beyond all the rings, the thing in my mind that puts him in his own category is the intensity he played with, every freaking night. He just did not take plays off, on either end of the court. Just a force of nature with a will to win like we’ve not seen before or after.
No lie. He always delivered, every time. That Last shot in Utah had me in tears out of gratitude for the dude who put his heart out there every single time.
It's just crazy that someone with this athletic ability as shown in the 80s clips ALSO had an unstoppable jumpshot, AND was the fiercest competitor of his time. Its insane. I was too young to really witness his 80s play, when he was skinny and dunking like a maniac, but I did watch the 90s.
@@sdaoud31exactly. That's what made him special. He was like a real life superhero, like Spiderman or something. During the bulls dynasty, you just KNEW he was going to find a way to win. I thought this was normal when I was a kid! And he ends his Bulls career by stripping Malone in the paint, taking it across the floor, and scoring. The guy was like 34 years old, scoring like 40 out of the bulls 89 points
That Utah team swept the 98 lakers with shaq and young kobe.
How could you think that anybody is better than Michael Jordan was?? If you only watched video highlights like this there isn't another close to his performances. I watched MJ from NC to the Wizards, and been watching basketball since 1966. There will never ever be another Michael Jordan.
What's your take on Wilt was he rlly as athletic as ppl say he was?!
This is fax
Michael Jordan is simply the greatest of all time
The best part of watching MJ highlights is watching the reactions of the bench. These were professional basketball players who had their minds blown night in night out.
Exactly that play when he went under like three Nets i think for a reverse layup theres a guy on the bench in awe lol. An actual nba player lol
Especially the bench reaction when he made that crazy layup off the glass from just inside the free throw line
Even the opposing team's bench. They were in awe too
Mike was playing his own game out there. He wasn’t competing against anyone but himself. Crazy.
That's partly why he retired so many times. He didn't have a true rival on the court because he was sooo much better than everyone else!
I love how the music is suited to each period of Jordan’s career,
1984-1990 is fast paced, exciting, makes your heart race, as that’s what it was like to watch Jordan at that time full of youth, energy and excitement.
1991-1993 sounds commanding and dominant, like something a Rock N’ Roll King would walk out to complementing Jordan in this Period, the perfect mix of talent, energy and experience something the younger Jordan obviously lacked, Jordan at the absolute peak of his abilities.
And finally we have the 1995-1998 theme sounding almost like a religious anthem , thematic, classical but still as loud and dominant as ever, showing how Jordan’s legacy has now risen to an almost myth-like status even while he’s still playing, a literal living legend.
Nice observation
Well put and accurate
Name of last song?
Totally worth it
A three-part composition
Everybody knew where the ball was going and who was gone take the shot AND U STILL COULDN'T STOP IT.......GOAT BISH!!!!!
To say he was ahead of his time is an extreme understatement
He was ahead of our time as well
The phrase “You can’t stop him, you can’t only hope to contain him” was created because of Michael Jordan.
Starks said in an interview they used to get 4-5 page breakdown of players they were going to face next; it gave their tendencies and how best to stop them. For MJ it just said "Good Luck".
@@tric5122 😭😭😭
@@tric5122 I mean, look at the guy. Most of the dudes in these clips were playing great defense. He just had too many moves to get the shot off. Spin moves, up and under, releasing the shot on the way down, contorting his body, switching hands, ball fakes, etc etc.
No other NBA players' ultimate mixtape will make them look as cool as Jordan. GOAT.
What's nuts is, you could scrap every highlight in this vid and make anothrr 16 minutes every bit as good with 100% different plays. And then you could do that multiple times... it's weird.
Top defender, prolific offensive, very high basketball IQ, clutch, leader who leads by example, Jordan had no weakness. That’s what made him THE Goat.
His three point shooting
@@nimittkhare3201 His 3 point shooting was just average. But that wasn't his focus on the game. If he wanted to be better at it, he could have been.
His skill athleticism fundamentals physical tools drive footwork and fundamentals were all par excellence, he had absolutely no weaknesses in his game and then fact that unlike today's superstars he out hustles you and plays off the ball and still gets crazy numbers is insane.
Yep. He could easily drop over 30 a game while playing shutdown defense...and make it look pretty
There's a reason we say things that may sound outlandish to younger generations that never saw Michael like "MJ could avg 50 in todays era" without thinking ourselves as lunatics. This man was completely unreal. Many may duplicate 20% or under of the things he could do, some of the greatest can maybe replicate 40% of MJ's game, but no one will ever get close to fully replicating what this man could do on a basketball court.
Exactly!
Facts!
It really isn’t that far fetched if you look at the numbers. He averaged 38ppg one season off mostly 2pt shots. In this era, he would’ve taken more threes.
65 dislikes? Lebron and his buddies must have done that. MJ forever 🐐
@Danny Green Is A BRICK haha well said!
at least Lebron has 65 fans
Brontards
No matter how many times I watch these Jordan highlights it’s still hard to believe this man was that great it’s not even another player close to him the speed and way he controlled his balance on the court and relentless the entire game we will never see that again and I don’t care what anyone says this era that era it doesn’t matter he would have destroyed any era point blank period end of the discussion
He was a once in a lifetime player. Jordan’s finesse reminds me of the rare finesse Barry Sanders had in football. It can’t be matched.
You do realize 400 years from now it’s possible we see another player greater?
@@legendarywiimaster It is extremely unlikely. Think about it, a player to surpass MJ would firstly have to win the genetic lottery. Being tall, huge hands, long wingspan, one in a kind natural athleticism. I mean preternatural athleticism. Fast twitch muscles, extremely fast. Then on top of that have the arsenal, IQ, and mental toughness along with consistency and determination to compete and win. Then having the luck and hard work come together. MJ is preternatural, one in a kind, once in a lifetime type of player. It’s like he was born for basketball.
@@LegoFilms511 obviously it’s very unlikely and MJ was the epitome of perfection but it’s not impossible
@@LegoFilms511 "winning the genetic lottery" wont be the only way to get the combo that only MJ got for very long....
bio-engineering tech like CRISPR can change that
The biggest difference between MJ and LBJ is that you get the feeling MJ would die to win a basketball game, while the 250lb LBJ would rather flop to the ground and wave his arms at the referee. MJ’s mental toughness, as unpleasant as it was sometimes, was the reason why he went 6/6 in Finals series.
No lies detected
This is the key difference between them as people. MJ is a competitor, even if he were to go into any other sport or field he would excel because he hates losing that much. He himself even says to compete to win is all I live for
This man could be in a casino till 4 am, smoking cigars and the next day put 50 points to win you the NBA championship. An unbelievable player and character with winning mentality that defines him the greatest ever played with the orange ball.
That actually described Dennis Rodman better than Jordan.
Dennis Rodman couldn't put 50 and he loved partying. Michael just loved beting and cigars.
@@uwastetimehere IN his prime, jordan got like 2-3 hours of sleep. On the dream team, they said that fucker never slept, Barkley was like he'd take you out all night, next day with barely any sleep we could hardly play, and he looked fresh and ready to go.
Man this is the legendary mixtape of all time
dude he really knew how to ball! will always be known as a legend dude forever!
He’s the best ever and it’s not close! Stop the madness.
He even has a signature walk
LMAO!!! You're so right!!!
kobe tried to copy that walk but as they say imitation is never better than the original.
5:01 this man MJ attempted a jumpshot off the back foot of one leg while completely rotating in mid air to pass the ball to the open man.
He has the most draw dropping highlights of any NBA player ever.
@Nick Diaz it was pippen... not paxson who made the shot.
I've been a basketball noob for a while but this guy touched me i can't lie i road the wave of people saying lebron is the greatest but this is the true greatest of all time this is the real goat of basketball and its not even close
Welcome to reality
HANDS DOWN THE BEST TO EVER PICK UP A BALL
MVP, DPOTY, All-Star MVP, Slam Dunk Champ, Scoring Champ and Steals Champ! All in one season! 1987/88!
35.0 ppg on 53.5% shooting, 1.6 blocks and 3.1 steals per game!
He was a monster in his prime!
He dominated the league throughout his career!
Simply the Greatest of all Time!
Found out recently he led the team in defensive rating 10x That's remarkable considering he played next to Scottie. i think the years he didn;t Rodman was there. To his credit rodman has a career defensive win share of 100 where Mj is at about 102 career wise

Michael Jordan is the undisputed GOAT. In addition the Last Dance reconfirmed in my mind Jordans legacy is flawless. Rookie Of The Year , 9x First Team All Defense , All NBA First Team 10x , 1x Defense Player Of The Year
,10x Scoring Champ and 7 were consecutive , 6x Finals MVP , 6 Time Champion and 5x MVP. 30.1 Points Per Game in the 1990s in the hardest era of defense.
don’t forget the DPOY😤

The GOAT forever
Everything about MJs game is amazing. He makes things look cool and easy, even being bald.
That's sooo true 🤣 being bald quickly became cool after MJ shaved his hair. GOAT thingsm
No wasted motion
MJ in the 80's was another animal all together. He was so fast and athletic. His moves and hangtime were other worldly. That's the version of MJ I wish i had a chance to see his games live. I can only clearly remember from 1991(when I was 8) and beyond.
His game overall was better in the 90s. However, in terms of pure athletic ability 80s Jordan was another level.
@@Zach1992D yeah, MJ says he feels he was at his best in 91-92. Thats when he was still very athletic but had gotten stronger and combined it with his knowledge/experience and had become a great shooter.
Check out the MJ video I made on my channel, it took me 10 days of straight editing to make! It'd mean a lot if you check it out🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🏼🙏🏼
@Paweł Adamowski its Mike Greenburg from ESPN, but yes he said it perfectly.
Same with me! 😩
I loved how Kobe Bryant played basketball. His NBA mix tape is very impressive. But when you watch the Kobe and MJ mix tapes back to back, it's plainly obvious that MJ was quicker and smoother. Kobe's movements look heavy and almost violent in comparison. There's a lightness to MJ's movements. Michael's style was smooth, powerful, and as strange as it sounds: aerodynamic. From the way he drove to the basket to how he soared through the air, everything is all so fluid and effortless. The way Michael Jordan played basketball brings to mind this quote from the great Bruce Lee.
“You must be shapeless, formless, like water. When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup. When you pour water in a bottle, it becomes the bottle. When you pour water in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can drip and it can crash. Become like water my friend.”
Well said. Jordan was from another planet. Not only the best basketball player I’ve ever seen but the most captivating athlete across all sports as well.
I’ve said it before... Kobe is the human version of Jordan.
Jordan moved as if he was not from the World. Straight alien 👽

Crazy thing about Jordan is he could drink beer, smoke, gamble literally all night get no sleep & still come out n dominate his opponent.

I call bullshit. MJ was serious about the game and didn't pick up Cigars till later in his Career and even then he only smoked them on occasion. He wasn't drinking every night before a game either. Jordan is who set the Gold Standard.
