About: Michael Jordan is viewed by most as the greatest basketball player of all time. He went 6-0 in the NBA Finals and never got to a game 7 so it makes sense why people view Jordan as the Goat over Lebron James. Well I think that Lebron James is the greatest player of all time but I have to say Michael Jordan had some INSANE Highlights!

Who all wants to do a live stream of Making the Case: Michael Jordan?
Bro everybody knows Jordan is the goat..... If he's even real....lol
Blair the play was necessary if you look there defenders on both sides he was switching the ball right as the jumped ac green on the left kept it right .....number 43 preparing to jump it was the correct move entering the air 7 feet out
Do the making the case... I've seen both play
I'm from Chicago and I watched from his rookie year.
His package way better than LEBRON James...
Kobe was 80% abJordan clone... still better than LEBRON.
Swatch the Jordan vs Lebron video and compare stats and facts
Jordan is the best ever, hands down. Greatest Of All Time.
LEBRON my be your favorite, with a lot of points ... but he's just great
You can't be serious!!!!
No case to be made. MJ=Goat! Less years and better results. But appreciate lebron fans watching true greatness thru these MJ videos. Many never got to see what a legend looks like on a court. These days players not the same. Agression and competitive drive gone for the most part. It's all buddy buddy now. Well in my opinion watching NBA over the last decade.
Also keep in mind that these highlights aren’t even typical highlights. These moves you see Jordan performing in this video were his move set. He did this every game
Yup. Same thing with birds mixtape. Those weren't just specific game highlights, bird and jordan did it day in and day out.
Seriously. Every game could have had it's own mixtape. I was lucky to have WGN and watch every game. People who never saw him will never know.
@Hydra Dominatus my guy did you know there’s dozens of game film being held back that have never been seen since the live action…when MJ finally makes a documentary about himself it’s going to blow people away…the fkn guy used to do full blast sprints on treadmills for 20 minutes. Ja tried that 💩 with Derrick Henry and last a minute or so 🤣✌🏽
@@PoisonClan73 Me too, it was crazy living in Los angeles in the 90's and getting WGN.
Yup. The reverse layup, kiss the rim, pump fake, fade away, etc ... He's the only player to have that many signature moves, and your right, he did this every game. Enormous expectations and he exceeded them every single night.
BTW used to practice those moves on my Jordan Jammer!
For those of us that watched MJ'S career as it was happening.....highlights don't do him justice. He was amazing night in and night out.
Real talk i seen MJ and was a fan La Bron does not even compare to MJ
MJ is on his own level
Exactly. These highlights are fun to watch and all but nothing compared to seeing these moves as they were happening. Without the context of whole games, you don't see and therefore will not fully understand how amazing this dude was. Played every single game, no load management and went pedal to the metal every time he was on the court.
He didn't stop. Dude was relentless on both ends of the court. Unrivaled drive, tenacity, killer instinct. He put on a show. If you bought tickets to see him, you got to see the real MJ, he gave you that, you get your money's worth every time. And sadly no amount of highlights put together will come even close to showing how great, dominant, extra ordinary, etc...this man was on the basketball court.
That is the only reason Kobe and LBJ fans would even think their guy is better, because they never saw Jordan's entire career play out live and there's no way to do so. Had they seen it they'd be singing a different tune. The eyes don't lie. When you witness greatness, you'll know no one else compares.
watching highlights is like watching a movie trailer. I thank ALL who put entire 90's Bulls games on youtube to relive the memories. When I forget a playoff game is coming on, I easily turn to one of these games, especially the NBC NBA broadcasts and some WGN broadcasts also. Yes, I remember those games with a smile as MJ was Bruce Lee on the court.
It's what I've been saying for years. Highlights dilute his greatness and people trash me for it
Wait a minute... If you can watch this video, be as impressed as you are with Jordan, and recognize all of the things that you say that you recognize about how flawless his game was… and still say that lebron is better, how in the world is that possible? I can totally understand that lebron is your favorite player and you LIKE him better. But, you absolutely cannot argue that lebron James can do even a 3rd of the stuff that you saw Jordan do in this video. Jordan could do pretty much everything that lebron can do. Lebron cannot do more than a 3rd of what Jordan could do. And, Jordan had better accomplishments in an era where it was harder because everybody played tough defense. Forget it. You're simply wrong about this. Jordan Is a better basketball player overall. Is more accomplished, and it's not even close
Lmao Jordan can do everything lmao lebron not even close to Jordan lvl😭
I agree 👍
Facts , all these years later and I know I do I go to UA-cam to watch videos of the reign of Jordan and his bulls never will we witness a man do what he did and globally bring the NBA to knew heights. I read he contributed to more than 10bilion dollars to the economy in the years he played in the NBA and he's still the only athlete to still be bringing so much money to this entire world wow..
I agree 100% with everything you said. MJ the GOAT for life.
I always say Kobe could make a better defense for being the closest to Jordan, and Kobe wasnt even close, not even the same discussion, nobody is.
he played like this EVERY. SINGLE. GAME!!!!! all 82 games. and he was a SHOOTING GUARD DUDE!!!! a shooting guard doing these moves on anyone and everyone WHILE getting elbowed, punched and thrown. and one more thing. players that played with and against Lebron respected him. but everyone feared MJ when it is their time to play him.
Great points. And look at how many 7 footers he abused in this video... and he was a shooting guard! He was a different creature.
Plus, also, he carried players that forced their entire body on top of MJ as well. Example: A game against the Utah Jazz where MJ was going to the basket and 7footer Greg Ostertag piggy back rode him while in the air hahahahahahahaha
Absolute facts. He enjoyed the challenge of a defender ! Even Mutumbo
The highlights are great but I have always felt his legend was created by those moments where you could see him flip the switch, and completely take over a game. Many times single-handedly willing the Bulls to a W. Every game appeared to be a personal insult that anyone would think of even trying to guard him. lol
Stephen A Smith said it best players today respect LeBron but Jordan was feared that's a difference it's like if u went to school with prime Floyd Mayweather and prime Mike Tyson who would you be willing to go toe to toe with first
It always amused me when these Lebron guys say MJ couldn’t deal with zone coverages, but there’s like 100s of instances of him splitting double and triple teams in two and three.
The zone argument is stupid and idiotic because there is no true zone in the NBA. You have a defensive three second which, in you cant play 2-3, maybe 3-2 you could play, but there is no way you can play zone against a shooter. You can play zone only against dudes that can only drive and cant move without the ball.
In addition, zone is like a wildcat play in the NFL. It is rarely employed. Have you seen a team playing zone more than a few plays in a game, if that? Stop this zone nonsense.
During the 80's and 90's you couldn't play zone against most high school teams. Ever heard of a zone buster? A zone in the NBA during that era was laughable. David Stern helped implement the zone defense, defensive 3 secs, no hand checking(freedom of movement) and 24 sec shot clock to influence Euro players to come to the NBA and to compensate for the lack of skill in the modern players.
what's funny to me is back then the 3 point shot wasn't as important so teams cluttered the lanes.. MJ had to deal with constant traffic when he drove the ball..I can only imagine how easy he'd get to the rim playing today when the floor is so spread out
Try splitting quadruple teams!
Kobe didn’t take it to another level, he tried to reach Jordan’s level, and came close.
He really didn't come close, in any category. Love Kobe though.
@@PikeBishop1 He came close when it came to similarity of play, but in terms of reaching that level along with that style... not too close but closer than anyone else
Agree. I hate it when they say that Kobe took MJ's game and elevated it. Nonsense.
He didn’t take Jordan’s game to another level but I think you can make the argument about his intensity though
@@OnAirWithDBlair Correct. Kobe could match MJ's intensity and even train harder than him, as stated by Phil Jackson.
But if Kobe had surpassed MJ and taken his game to another level, numbers would show it.
When we were watching Jordan we all understood what we are watching but he did it so often that we almost became immune to it sometimes. He is truly the greatest that ever did it if you actually have watched him play in his prime for all those years. If there's anyone that's ever deserved a G.O.A.T title it's Michael Jordan.
Exactly, we all knew what we were watching. Whether you were a Jordan fan or he was destroying your dreams, you knew. A statement I have said about Jordan that separates him from other was players was how you felt as a fan when he actually failed, lost or missed the clutch shot. I think that is the opposite of everyone else. Everyone else yeah it's amazing when they succeed, when they hit the game winner but it was always amazing when they seemed to have a 4th quarter that was almost perfect or unbeatable. With Jordan that was literally the game plan under Phil. Get MJ to play team ball for 3 quarters than go to another level in the 4th the other teams could not compete with. MJ always did enough through 3 quarters to keep the game close, manageable, in striking distance. Some games when offense was clicking may only get 20 pts through 3 quarters..other times if everyone was struggling meant Jordan was gonna have 30 at halftime. Every fan particularly fans of other great teams knows there is a difference when facing him..your team could be firing on all cylinders, no lead was safe, you were never comfortable.
Preach, brother, PREACH!!!
If you're thinking, you'd never say LeBron is better.
There's no one even in the conversation for what this man did on the basketball court, could you imagine Michael Jordan having a player like Shaq on his team, the literally could've won ten straight championships
Bro what you said about being immune to it sometimes is so true!!! Especially after rewatching games and highlights often. Sometimes watching modern NBA games I find myself thinking "Why didn't they just do *blank*. Jordan would've done *blank* and no one can stop it" but then I remember that Jordan was just built different. Makes me appreciate those highlights again as if I'm watching them for the first time
Just an FYI. Jordan was interviewed and asked about why he switched hands against the lakers. He said he was worried about it being blocked from behind so he switched to avoid it. We see it as unnecessary but that man was just a league above everyone.
More specifically because Sam Perkins, who had REALLY long arms, was standing near him on his right side; he switched to the left hand to get it out of Perkins's reach
It may have been “unnecessary “. But it sure was entertaining! I was watching this when it happened on Tv and I’m still oooooooowwwing and aaaaaaaahinng THE GOAT! Plain and simple!
Yo you exactly right a lot of the moves that he did that he said were unnecessary in this video came from an offensive and defensive midset and just thinking what the defenders could've possibly done to prevent him from scoring.
The end of the video with young and old Jordan doing the same moves is incredible and you can see how his post game and footwork got more advanced as he got older.
Man I was about 8-9 years old when Jordan came to the NBA. I watched his whole career. Saw it all. You’ll never understand how dope it was to watch this man play in real time. We even had WGN, the Chicago station all the way down here in Texas. I watched Jordan every night basically his whole career. I was able to watch his greatness the same way my dad watched Muhammad Ali and Jim Brown in the prime of their careers. It was a sight to behold.
Bro I feel ya we had WGN here in South Carolina every Wednesday & Friday night we were in front of the TV to see what he could do,that we thought could ever happen in a game
@@SCsc864 Real talk💯
Say it again!! 💪🏾💯
@@RyanMrTsunamiBishop ✊🏾💯
I can honestly say after he hung it up I never was into basketball again. The magic was gone only memories remained.
The memories this man gave me as a Michael Jordan fan as a young man brings me to tears watching this mixtape, I don't watch the NBA anymore because Jordan set the standard so high, in my opinion nobody will ever surpass it, the things he did on the basketball court were simply amazing.
People just don't understand how great he was. He's the greatest and it's not close. 30-6-5 for regular season career and 33-6-6 in the playoffs for his career while shooting basically 50%. And then he was a damn WINNER
It wasn't just that Jordan could do crazy, amazing things during a game to wow fans. It's that he did those things while ALSO being fundamentally sound at the same time. It's as if you combined Tim Duncan, Vince Carter and Kawhi into one player.
Jordan switched hands on the layup against the Lakers because he thought Sam Perkins was going to go up to challenge the layup on the right side, so he adjusted before Perkins could react. That was Jordan's greatest gift. Anticipating what defenders were going to do and adjusting to it in real time either BEFORE or while the defender are making their move. It's part of what made him such an unstoppabel scorer. If you really look closely at his highlights, he does it over and over and over again.
True but the one Thing I wud like for anyone looking at this video again to do is Highlight his passing ability which they always " Over Look or Never See "
@@sroland3533 Exactly
That come from understanding your opponent and crazy film study.
No one has ever been on Jordan's level! I doubt we will ever see anyone even approach just how great Jordan was!
Nobody in history of sports was more intense than MJ. Kobe learned EVERYTHING he knew from MJ. Kobe idolized MJ. Jordan put actual fear into Hall of Famers. Literal fear.
Kobe WAS the Modern Day JORDAN. He still was Kobe but its like he went to the University of Jordan and came out with a DOCTORATE!
Iverson 👌🏿a Kobe is my favorite
That’s why I know if Kobe would have lived he would have become the g.o.a.t. because his game was so similar to Jordan 💯
@@anthonywest8909 if he would have lived? What do you mean by that lol
Mamba mentality is special but Jordan mentality is crazy. My respects to Kobe but Jordan was crazy competitive and would use anything as fuel.
Wrap your heads around this stat:
25 - 1 - From 1991 to 1998 with Michael Jordan in uniform, the Chicago Bulls went 25 - 1 in NBA playoff series.
And the one team that beat them, they swept the very next year.
1990-1998 with MJ in uniform, Bulls never lost more than 2 games in a row.
@@krwnsy Craziest stat ever
I still remember when Jordan retired the 1st time. Not kidding, it was like Superman died. Kids were crying. Lebron even said he cried when MJ retired the first time. There's not a single athlete that has ever been this revered or influential.
There's a narrative out there were people say "MJ quit twice". These people weren't there when it happened. Jordan already rocked the league and 3-peated, he had nothing left to prove, everyone already said he was the goat. His father was murdered.
But imagine leaving to play a completely different sport and then come back and win the NBA championship 3 more times? Not even the Warriors could 3-peat, nor did Lebron's Heat. If Lebron 3-peated in LA, I think he'd be a lot closer in the goat conversation, but this season alone proves that MJ will remain unmatched. And the 98 Bulls starting 5 were actually older than this year's Lakers HOF team.
Enough said. Basketball was THE sport of choice in these days and it was because of this dude. Much respect.
Agreed on almost everything. However, during his peak, Ali was even bigger, and his fame extended to every corner of the globe. For a time, Ali was the most famous human in existence.
Jordan's fame also extended to every corner of the globe. I'm not saying more so than Ali, but it's probably very close. Basketball was played around the world, but Jordan made it a truly global game.
Mike dad was murdered once . Mike did quit because of criticism from fans,coaches and media
Argue with your pappy because Michael Jordan said it all himself
I fall in the Jordan camp, but even if you think Lebron is better, just understand this. MJ was an absolute beast. A basketball monster.
LeBron ain’t got shit on Jordan 💀
What makes Jordan that much more impressive is he was 6'6 210 lbs and still bodying 7 footers with no fear.
@@Soulplaya007 Repeatedly. He posterized the entire league.
@@Soulplaya007 Repeatedly. He posterized the entire league.
The argument that Lebron is the goat is the same argument that the 2016 Warriors are the greatest team of all time. It could have been but its too late now.
I suppose its just proper context. If they say Lebron is the greatest point forward of all time or that the 2016 warriors are the greatest season team of all time, then maybe they can argue on that. But there is no argument on the GOAT and GTOAT considering the facts.
MJ has the greatest mix tapes for sure.
Bron's a really great player, but he couldn't accomplish what MJ accomplished in 11 1/2 full seasons of basketball...Bron gets the longevity stats, but he's not ever going to lead a team to 2 3-peats in 8 yrs, and he's not going to win 10 scoring titles nor play 8 years without losing more than 2 games in a row, and he's not going to win Defensive Player of the Year in the same season as winning the scoring title like MJ did....but Bron does have 3 titles with 3 different teams and went to the Finals 10 years in a row and he'll probably pass Kareem for most points scored in the NBA....celebrate greatness while you can because life's short, enjoy the show that these players are demonstrating on the court...great reaction video!
Hell he just finished his 19th season and still can’t accomplish it
I don't even give him longevity. He sits out 25% of the season every year
💯💯💯
@@jordanturner7917 lol
go to the LeBron vs Jordan comparison video..
Think about it this way, plenty of Jordan's games in the 80s weren't even aired, we likely are missing at least 33% of the footage of MJ's career, who knows what he did in those games if this are his highlights in the remaining 67%.
low key hoping someone somewhere has footage of those games... it would be gold and would absolutely shock the world. Especially 80s Jordan. I can only imagine.
@@knowjc35 ask the NBA.
I'm glad wgn picked most of the games up early in his career.
Has anyone ever seen the footage where he Shattered a Bck Glass ? If no chk it out on UA-cam, you kno wht to look for, the time wen Michael Jordan Shattered etc.
@@mostmost1 WGN also replayed every game Jordan played with the Bulls back in 2015 I recorded them all
I became a fan of the NBA when I was 12 years old. Jordan was in his prime and I watched every game I could of his. I loved the nba I thought. When he retired I lost interest. It was his play that captivated people. He did things no one else has ever been able to do. Every game was a highlight reel. Over the years I’ve tried to watch the new Jordan’s. Like lebron, Kobe, and others but no one can captivate me like Jordan. So I’ve realized I was never an NBA fan. I was a Jordan fan.
You just summed up why millions of people watched the NBA. They wanted to see Jordan play and cared very little for basketball
Exactly MJ was different one n only the way he walked onto the floor I watched lol just different
I think that's where I lie. A fan of Jordan more than the NBA.
Same here buddy!!!
There's just one MJ, my goat!! I realized over the years I'm a jordan fan not an nba fan.
I love how these dudes suddenly start to realize who the real goat is. 🤣
Jordan was on a different level. Every night he brought it 150%!! Also, Jordan would never pass up ball for last second game winning shot He also never Flopped. He took a Beatig!
like the night MJ was sick and dropped what 63 on the knicks and did it running a fever
Keep this in mind..Jordan played against real shot blockers in a time where the paint was crowded with 7 footers, he was dunking on some of the greatest centers and big men in the history of the game....
Exactly .....when was the last time you saw Lebron go face to face with an Embid or Giannis.....MJ dunked on everyone off one leg, two.....two handed.
@@cornpopsrazor5375 yup🤣
Nobody struck more fear than Michael Jordan. I heard that when they did a scouting report on MJ, the report read "Good Luck" he has no weaknesses. He was fearless. A lot of his dunks was being contested by 2 or three defenders and against 7 footers. He never shy away from contact. The numbers speak for themselves.
“That’s the craziest layup in NBA history”
Jordan: I took it personal
I've been an NBA fan since the mid 1970's and coached youth basketball for years. 2 of my 3 sons played competitive basketball through high school here in North Carolina. My middle son even attended camps with Stephon Curry attended that his dad, Dell Curry, sponsored here in the Charlotte area. My personal top 3 are: 1. Michael Jordan, 2. Larry Bird, 3. Magic Johnson. After the top 3, it’s more debatable to me. I’ve seen everyone over the last 45+ years. IMO, these players had the best BALANCE of FG%, FT%, clutch play, great offense, great defense, makes teammates better, great team play, shares the ball, passing ability, finishing, coachable, high basketball IQ, finds a way to win, has all areas of the basic fundamentals down pat, seeks high % shots first, knows where teammates are on the court at all times, able to score while being fouled, played against tougher competition, played against great defenses. No one today has ALL of these attributes. These 3 are the only players ever to not have any holes in their games at all. Not even Lebron can match this. He flops, gives up on defense and huddle, has choked in some key games, which brings down his value. To me, only Michael, Larry, and Magic had ALL of these attributes and are (by far) the most clutch players of all time. Consistently winning the close games is what separates icon players from everyone else. No players after my top 3 come close to doing it at the level they did. Though today's players have a lot of talent, most players lack most of these attributes and no one has all of them. Defense and team play aren’t nearly as good today as in the 80’s/90’s. Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, and Magic Johnson (by far) are the most clutch players of all time and did it against the best defenses of all time. Great video. You did a good job.
Magic can't be top 3 because his defense was ....meh.....Bird's defense was better and he was a far better shooter than Magic.....MJ was first and Kareem would still be up there at two for me.....he was just a better defender than those two and he battled HOF bigs in the era of the big man for 2 decades.
I gotta put Hakeem Olajuwon up there too. He had incredible footwork and played outstanding defense. (all time leader in blocks)
He also carried that rockets team to both championships.
@@codystudliness4864 Facts.....as a young man he fascinated me when I saw him in college and then in the pros. I miss the era of the true center when every team just about had at least 2 or 3 legit big guys on their roster. Even some of the fours were massive. Otis Thorpe was another guy who has been forgotten.....that guy caught bodies all day and had some of the biggest hands I have ever seen. I saw a clip the other day of Kareem on the backside of his career battling it out with Hakeem and Sampson....we will probably never see it again sadly.
The thing about Jordan is that he isn't just the GOAT of basketball, he is the GOAT athlete. Whenever people described the best player in other sports, they would say " He is the Michael Jordan of (name sport)" He is one of the top 3 American sports figures of all time. Alongside Muhammad Ali and babe Ruth.
"Who was more intense "
It's simple really.
Kobe scared other players.
Jordan scared the entire league....
Young guys watching Jordan highlights don't get why his fakes were so good and everyone is falling. It's because he was insanely quick. Like, almost Iverson-level, but dude was 6'6". A man that tall isn't supposed to move like that. Throw in that vert and he was by a defender, already jumping. He was impossibly good.
True and with his hand size the crazy stuff he could do, with fakes.
Jordan's fundamentals were amazing, I think he was the most fundamentally sound player in all aspects, from foot work, to team work (defensively, and offensively) for any superstar till even now. He had no weaknesses in his game. Unlike most superstars who tend to neglect aspects because their other aspects are far superior.
MJ is the GOAT!!! Period!!!!
17:38 yes, that layup came first and the commentators went nuts, and then next half he did the craziest layup ever and the commentators were like "we've seen them all"
Look at how long MJ played vs Lebron and look at all accomplishments. He has more even though he played less years... MJ 🐐 All day every day.
I'm 64 years old, born in 1957 and I saw when Michael Jordan came into the NBA from college and he came in fired up! He did himself right during his college years and gained experience for the NBA. By the time he entered the NBA, he stepped in to be in charge of whatever team he would start in. This was his attitude and his style of playing. Most of the time he just played and his scoring was an at-the-moment shot. He just charged in and deliver whatever came his way for scoring. I was born in the right era for the NBA and I just enjoyed the heck out of Michael's performance! He worked hard and at his level of playing you had to wake up really early in the morning to be able to play like him. There is no such thing as hang time, it's an optical illusion, he just had a great ability to jump at the highest for what was supposed to go in. There was no one like him and that is what made him one of the greatest of all time! Juan
Thank you, Mr. DBLAIR!
One point is misleading though. He did not did it tight in college for staying. He did not have a choice. Nobody comes from high school or 1 year in college to the NBA back then.
The hang time is basically him releasing the ball when he is about to land after jumping very high, of course you have to factor in the great body control and those mitts
I was lucky to have witnessed this unmatched greatness. I am 48yo. 🏀
He played like this every game
LeBron shouldn't even be allowed to give Jordan his jock strap before the games. Jordan is far superior! I can't understand why people even debate this. It is no contest. How can people think LeBron is better. That dude sloughs off on defense.
I grew up a huge MJ fan but I’m right around Lebron’s age, and until 2012ish I always preached Lebron was better because he was bigger, faster, and stronger. In the last 10 years I’ve come back to reality. The bigger, faster, stronger “greatest” argument is actually more pro Jordan. After Jordan’s retirement and Lebron’s televised high school game, for 10 years I changed my GOAT mind. I’ve realized I never should’ve wavered, he’s the GOAT and it’s not really that close. MJ accomplished more while being “smaller, slower, and weaker”.
Kobe take it to another level? MJ is by far the greatest. It’s not even close. Jordan is a 10 and the closest is a 7
When I was in grade and high school in the 80’s and 90’s, people that weren’t even basketball fans would purposely not make plans at night so they could watch Mike play. It was unreal
He was a beast of a scorer but his proudest achievement was defensive player of the year.
Watched Jordan, Kobe, and LeBron... Jordan is The One... It's not even close. Everyone else has highlights, Jordans entire career was nothing but highlights, every game against everyone.
Lebron ain’t top 5 all time..he was manufactured and thrived during the rule changes of 2005
exactly right. The world and the industry needed a new force figure hero. So, the world digital and twisted rules had to fabricate one hahahaha
facts
Yes, Thank You !
Been saying this for years. He is a creation of ESPN and TNT.
How 😂
Jordan was just on another level kids! that shit brought a tear to my eye lol.
Mj was so great wgn Chicago broadcast all games on our Atlanta local networks now that's greatness we never missed a game..
MJ is and probably always will be the GOAT!!! He was in another universe all his own!! Kobe was not more intense than MJ, but was very close.....
What's crazier is that alot of these came after a steal
From the player who was the first player to get 100blocks and 200 steals and did it twice (only hakeem and scottie did it after)
And he captured the scoring titles at the same time
Those two lays against the nets was in the same game. He had multiple highlights every game. This is just a small portion. Check out his other ones: rarest, voyager, defensive and passing highlights... I'm so glad I saw his whole career, definitely out of this world....
Most athletic player the game has ever seen. Only one who even came close was Kobe. MJ was, is, and forever shall be the GOAT.
Jordan and Kobe are similar, but Jordan had the whole league AFRAID of him. Like, you don't talk trash to him. Ever.
Watching MJ as a child was like watching a superhero...but what's crazy, is that I'm still just as amazed watching his highlights now as I was watching him play 30 years ago...and I think that's a true testament to MJ's greatness, no matter how many eras pass by, he'll still leave you in awe
LeBron the GOAT? He quit on his team this year He will probably leave the Lakers to join another team gimme a break sick of hearing LeBron in the same breath as Jordan NOBODY will ever be on the level that MJ is/was please stop people with the comparisons!
We knew what we were watching. That's why he is the #GOAT. This was every game. Game 1 of the season to game 6 in the finals.
The fans knew what they were watching. That man said every game there might be one person who this is their only chance to see him play, and he left everything on the court to make it worth seeing.
GOAT requirement: Does he do stuff you watch and still say if cant be real? Yes.....that is MJ
The difference between Jordan and EVERYONE else that laced em up...
These aren't "highlights" for MJ. This is his game. Every game.
You have to watch highlights of LeBron to see him do some crazy stuff.
6:04 that one on Lamebeer, watch MJs head get smacked forward from the elbow Lambeer got him with, and he STILL makes the shot.
Jordan kind of lead the way for todays NBA in that he proved teams don't need a dominant center to succeed, he started the small ball revolution, and teams today simply take it to an extreme.
Nobody that ever watched them both in their prime would dare say LeBron if "most likely to make sure your team wins" is the most important factor
The only word I can think of to describe what happened to Barkley at 8:13 is that he was VANQUISHED.
Jordan played a whole career getting beat down scoring" Lebron was free to score in no defense era" An Lebron teamed with allstars ' Kyrie" Bosh, D. Wade' others, Jordan had to wait for Pippen basicly...
The difference with MJ and Kobe is that Kobe left the competitiveness on the court. With MJ everything is a competition he has no off switch
It's crazy that so many people have reaction vids for this specific MJ joint and I watch all of the and not for the reactions, That red 23 jersey is like my heart.
Hated the Bulls back in the day…but watched every game I could just to see what he was gonna do next. Imagine in todays rules where you couldn’t put your hands on him! Insane
💯
That's why Jordan is and forever will be the GOAT. He did it all against defense titans like Mutombo, Ewing, Mourning, Shaq etc... and not the weak sauce "AND ONE" generation we have today 🤣
You damn right he was a different kind of athlete. That’s why he’s the 🐐 there’s no one like him.
We knew exactly what we were watching. When the bulls played, everybody was glued to the TV set. Nothing was moving or shaking. Even the drug dealers tuned off their beepers.
There really isn't a GOAT of basketball. But if there was a GOAT, it would be Jordan.
Bro I hated Jordan, I'm a Jazz fan, but I can tell you with honesty, sincerely, no player Ive ever seen even comes close to touching MJ, I mean that, I got no problem with Labron, I actually enjoy watching him, same with Kobe, I say Kobe is the closest thing to MJ Ive ever seen, and he's not even in the same conversation, Labron is built completely different, plays a completely different style, I often wonder why Kobe isn't discussed in this, but ultimately I don't see anyone ever being as good as MJ, it would take such a phenomenal player, and we just aren't seeing players as disciplined anymore, it's actually going the other way, but that single guy was the reason not only the Jazz but just about any team they played never got passed them in the finals, I don't think they were ever beaten, fucking frustrating.
Kobe was very intense. No doubt about it, but I never saw a more intense athlete than MJ.
Its not possible to be more intense
You didn't talk to him on the court in fear you may piss him off
MJ was a psycho when it came to intensity and finding anything at all to keep him locked in and in fight to the death mode. Unhealthy, but I am glad I lived for it.
It's really crazy that this guy even existed. Not to mention he was doing this shitt 30-35 years ago. To have an insane highlight reel with all the individual accomplishments on offense, defense, in the clutch, regular season and elevating in the playoffs and to combine all of that with WINNING 6 chips in 11 full seasons is beyond ridiculous. Got a franchise to go from GARBAGE TO LEGENDARY.
Kobe's intensity was him emulating everything MJ did.
Great reaction! You were impressed with the 40 ppg in the finals. MJ averaged 37 ppg for a season and 35 ppg in another.
yeah the numbers are INSANE!
Most of those Jordan clips I watched live as they happened. Hard to believe it's been that long. Like that crazy lay up against the Nets I watched on WGN in 1992-1993. I remember talking about it with friends the next day in school.
If you ever played street fighter, Jordan is Ryu, Kobe is Ken. That’s how I’ve always looked at it.
In a million years MJ will be known as the First Man Who Could Fly!
And STILL the Greatest!
You do got a good eye... I watched alot of reaction n you see alot my guy... but you know you've never seen a style quite like that .... dude was a master
Jordan is the real 2k !!
Jordan was more intense. He played like these highlights every night. He is the GOAT.
Truly the greatest of all time!!! I'm old enough to have seen him play live many times in his championship years, also baseball and that night he hit a home run. Amazing if not the greatest most famous athlete of all time. Gotta be the biggest name amongst all sports combined. Truly the king of his craft💪
I got Lebron as my #8 in my all time top 10. I remember people who didn't even like basketball back then talking about Michael Jordan, everyone talking about how they were gonna watch the game to see what he'd do, I don't hear that same buzz today about Lebron. Not to mention they actually changed rules due to how good Jordan was, no rule changes for Lebron and Michael was Defensive Player of the Year and Scoring Champ in the same season.

I don't mean you specifically when I say this, but after watching a ton of these similar videos, I think a lot of people are mixing up "GOAT" with "My favorite player". When it comes to the ACTUAL GOAT; Jordan wins with really no contest.
The "Jordan past Petrovich!" one makes it look like he's changing directions in mid-air. He routinely made it look like he was defying gravity. There is no one else that has ever done what he did and I don't think anyone else ever will.
Y’all ignore when Jordan left the bulls still was. Championship bound. Ignore when Lebron leave they don’t make playoffs. Give all credit to Jordan when he played with 4 hof his last run. The bulls won. Lebron take on challenges it’s not the same.
This was Jordan every game
You think these highlights were hard to find? Nope. Every night. And if you think LeBron is better then you haven't watched enough game footage of Jordan.
I like this reaction. Great job. I'm an older cat that also loves today's NBA. If you go back and listen to all that you said, the different attribute's you compared to who you thought were the best in those attributes to you, you make the case for Jordan as the GOAT. You don't even realize it. "Handles like Kyrie, but more athletic." "Longshot looking like Curry". "Game winners like Kobe". Etc. Yet you are talking about one man, with the best attributes that stars today possess...many different stars...all in one man. Add in the everything else MJ did that NO other player has ever done & it's still just one man. Your allegiance is to Lebron, because it's recent & in your time. If you were around then, you'd know. He was just different. I've never seen anything like Bird & Jordan in the NBA in my lifetime to this day. Jordan's edge on Bird is his athleticism. Their basketball acumen is identical & unmatched, in my opinion. My GOAT is two-headed. There isn't anyone even close to them either, in my lifetime to this day, in my opinion. Many have some of the same attribute's & modeled themselves after them. But none possess their complete abilities in my opinion. There are no rules in making an opinion of what someone thinks/says. This is mine. Dig your vids. Gonna see how many of the other MJ vids you have & in which one you finally admit you think Jordan is the GOAT. lol
So imagine how you kids sound not seeing him play not being there living the moment a era that wil never be duplicated always imitated!
Sorry, leflop can't hold a candle to MJ. I'd even pick Bird over leflop.... JS. Kobe and MJ were almost equally cold-blooded with slight edge to MJ
Kobe went to 3 straight finals without a mvp. Let Lebron do that. Y’all hating. Shaq was best player. How they equal. Lebron equal than him. He get all the final mvp like Jordan. Crazy. Kobe won cause lakers. He wasn’t the mvp
In my opinion putting Lebron next to MJ is absurd!!! If you think Lebron is the goat, your eyeballs are failing you!
He was retired basically 2 years and came back and got 3 more. He would have had 8 straight for sure if he hadn't retired for those 2 yrs.
No matter what you say, your face during this mixtape says different. Your speechlessness in this video at times, showed how you really feel. That's literally how anyone who lived back then during this time felt, the man was that amazing and showed us how basketball could and should be fun. He came out every night, every game, start to end, one end of the court to the other like a ballerina. The man mastered his artistry so well that he did every thing for the fans, he wanted those who paid for his tickets to get the real Michael Jordan every game, no matter what. He still to this day leads in a lot of things for the NBA and one of them is a 100% NBA championship record. His time in the NBA was like a real movie and like book, gave you a first half, left for 2 years, gave you a 2nd half. He was a evolutionary and evolved the game into what the new generations saw. No one else not even Lebron has done that, unless you count whining....
Wow Jordan was really good truly one of the best basketball players ever
love watching LeBron fans react to the only GOAT
A few things to note: 1) he did this every game 2) he did it vs hall of fame guards and giants. 3) he drove the lane when the entire team was waiting 4) if he scored in the 20s, it was not a good game for him. 5) He made his entire team better...given the era he played, it was a must.
I tell everyone that if you wanna know what Jordan was, then pick a FULL GAME to watch. ANY RANDOM GAME. You will see multiple plays like this.
When people say LeBron is the greatest basketball player of all time, I would really like to know what they're basing that opinion on. Seiously. First of all, what aspect of basketball is LeBron the greatest at? Let's start there.
just watch Jordan playing, he had no fear to fly over whatsoever whosoever in front of him. Your blood is boiling!!
Listen to Jordan he tells you...." When I play basketball , I play all out"!!! When someone makes up shit , just so he has a reason to perform great every night you know he was crazy intense !!!!! Never seen any one with more intensity then MJ..and I saw him play live !
