- The highlights of Michael Jordan between 1984 and 1993...the first part of his career before his first retirement.
at this time Jordan was unstoppable,creative,quick,smart,powerfull and very dominant when he attacked the basket...an "killer mode"...
the real king of hangtime,circus shoot,reverse lay up,dunks,pass and fade away jumpshot...all in perfect and ingenious tricks to beat his oponents.
Many great actions and some rare footages in regular season and post season reunited in 20 minutes....enjoy. - Спорт
When the hell are the NBA going to remaster all the old MJ games and put them on Blu-ray so we can witness Air Jordan in crisp HD quality....??
Petition!!
Word!
Word times 2!
That would be amazing
Can’t wait for that
Great idea love that!
no regrets for stop watching nba when MJ retired. i havent missed anything.I ve seen enough from this guy.Thank you for the memories MIchael.
Jordan jumps.......hangs...........waits for the defender to jump and takes the hit, after the defender is done.........Jordan shoots it on his way down. UNBELIEVABLE!
+Wis Dom this why for me Jordan was the best no was like Jordan he hung in the air and change his body and his shot in mid air just hanging in the air he was Unbelievable it made fall out of you sit with shock and excitement
You get it. His hang time was increased because he shot on the way down when he had to release.
Well is just regular old Michael Jordan stuff, Impossible for anyone else, But just regular old Michael Jordan's stuff.
@@charlesswait1185 Kobe did it too. Not as much tho. Jordan is where I got that hang time stuff from
@@it3z873 sometimes yes
The degree of difficulty of most of these shots is off the fuckin' chart, yet MJ pulls them off with such ease. For all his strength and quickness, he had unbelievable body control. He was so graceful--his game was beautiful to watch.
MJ is the GOAT. If you grew up in the 90's watching him, you'd know.
The best part was the late 80's, early 90's.
I thought he was equally good after he came out of retirement in 95 though.
no, he had lost too many steps. Still good enough but not the same jordan of old
It sucks though. When we get old and die, they'll all forget. They're already forgetting.
@@TheSmokey1424
don't let them forget, that's what the comments section is for
man, the way he moved was pure artistry - just a beautiful thing to watch.
Yes he is Picasso, davinci, michael angelo all at the same time, the basketball is his canvas and he's painting it, he's a poetry in motion, very graceful. even the misses and the out balances during physical contact is beautiful if you pause it in HD, you can see his elbows, knees bends, his muscles, tongue out, sweat etc. everything is a perfect painting.. basketball was invented for michael jordan..
That is why I like to watch him in slow motion. Many things are done in the air too fast that we are unable to see.
I will never get tired of watching him score.
Jimmy Chen I confirm this, 4 years later
The greatest of all time.
我也是
Me too. The best to ever do it.
The most athletic baller God created! Ain’t no comp
3:29 Hubie Brown "he has nothing, absolutely nothing, and he makes... something.. out of it!"
Nobody can do this - the most underrated layup ever! He drove to the basket, stopped on a dime, and jumped seven feet sideways, breaking through one defender who had his full hand on the ball, and leaving the other defender jumping for air... pure strength and athleticism.
I concur!!!
You know when a legend walks on the floor. everything goes in slow motion. MJ was that legend.
what is so amazing is that, this was Jordan's inside game against 2,3and even 4 defenders bigger than him, he could create shots from out of any situation. This is what made it so fun to watch, when he played.
Sometimes after watching MJ u don't even wanna see these new katz
I love modern NBA. I grew up with the post-jordan guys like Tmac, Kobe (rip), Vince Carter, iverson etc. They were great, but they were all emulating jordan and none of them were quite on his level
Modern guys aren’t trying to be jordan anymore. It’s a much higher paced game. More ball movement, less iso
And I just wish we could see jordan in today’s game. He’d 100% be a great 3pt shooter if he was coming up today, but there’s no guard in the NBA that could deal with his post game
fax
All day, I’m 41 and don’t even give no acknowledgement that Jordan isn’t 🐐 and I lived in Cleveland from1991 to 1996,
Benjamin Huggins yeah man. You just wanna see more MJ.
Djuan Benjamin That’s cus you saw him play. These young idiots never saw Jordan play live and claim LeBron is better 🤦♂️
Genius.pure basketball art..no one not now or in future will be one like mj..
im bettet. just train
Coolest looking athlete of all time. Easy.
I agree, but Ken Griffy Jr is a close second!!
Agree. Just did everything with style.
It was like he was created for basketball. Everything about him was perfect on the court.
@@erfansvideos yup
After this video,who can say;Lebron,Kobe,or somebody others are best in the world.No doubt,this guy is the best of all time.Everything he made with style.One & only MICHAEL The Great JORDAN!☺☺☺☺☺
Greetings from Hungary.
I have to admit something. The very first basketball game I ever saw on tv was game 6 of the 98 finals...the last game MJ was a Bull. That is what got me into watching and playing bball. Im 25 and only caught the end of his career and the couple years he was a Wizard. I do have over 500 MJ basketball cards and I know all his stats lol. I also watched the entire careers of KB and LBJ so far. Even the little I saw of Jordan live showed me that he was head and shoulders above the rest. Watching all these highlight videos on youtube though always gives me a new healthy respect for him. I could never get tired of watching this man play ball. That is an intangible difference between him KB, and LBJ. I dont have the right to say this but Jordan is the G.O.A.T.
You missed a hell of a career! Jordan spoiled us with his play. Night in, night out, Jordan just straight wrecked the league. Chuck Daly once said he is embarrassing to the league he's that good.

Kuro Kami U missed the best era of basketball EVER my man. Whenever you get the chance try your best to get a hold of his old games
That's how good he is. He makes ppl who feel they don't have right to speak on him, actually speak on him. U just can't not say anything about how amazing he is when u watch him play
Why wouldn’t you have the right? It’s just straight facts.
I watch these Jordan videos like every day and i am still floored in amazement. I miss late 80s and 90s bball. Thank you for letting me relive them through your videos. I get no excitement from any of the stars of today like the stars of old. LeBron bores me, but he is an all time great no doubt. Kobe and T-Mac in their primes were the last to really make me go WHOA! But, no one will ever do what MJ did out there. There was always something new that you had never seen before in every game he played.
Same 🤦🏾♂️
JORDAN MOVED EXACTLY LIKE A CAT. QUICKNESS, AGILE, HANGTIME AND LIGHTNING QUICK REFLEXES PLUS HE HAS HUGE HANDS TO KEEP THE BALL BALANCED ON HIS LAYUPS AND SHOTS. PHENOMENAL PLAYER WITH ALL THE ABILITY IN THE UNIVERSE!!
IIRC "Black Cat" was one of his nicknames - among more prominent ones like "His Airness" or "Black Jesus".
As soon as I heard Rakim's Guess Who's Back I knew this video was gonna show clips of Jordan turning up the heat.
Im from Mexico and i get into basquetball since i was 12 years old because of Michael Jordan the king of kings of the game there is not gona be another one like MJ Never...
This video is the best I've seen..
Greatest Layup and Finishing package of ALL TIME.
There flew the most elegant athlete man ever had.
Only ali can match it.
Those mid-air adjustments! Dear God!
That's clutch all day
Jordan has the best layups and dunks ever. Not even Carter dunks like Jordan, where Jordan dunks EVERY year over countless players, and multiple players at once too, from all angles. His baseline layups and dunks are not even remotely matched by anyone. Jordan driving the baseline and Jabbar's skyhook are the two deadliest weapons ever. Jordan is incredibly strong, with players dropping or bouncing away from him like falling dominoes. Jordan is in a class of his own... it's not even close.
just look how jordan have contacts with huge players and how strong he is.now go see lebron having contacts with players half his size and reacting like he hit a wall.but lebron is stronger than jordam is what they said...
Jordan had a 48 inch vertical --- I don't know if anyone came close to that... I know that Kobe was 38 inches and that was great. The guy was my personal favorite that's for sure.
Nobody could dunk quite like MJ in game conditions. His dunks weren't about the tricks like between the legs that the kids today use to wow us. His dunks were about getting off the ground as fast as possible by just reaching up with one hand because he had such huge hands - he could grip the ball like very few guys and for him, dunking is like what us dunking with a volleyball would be like. He didn't have to bend down to jump with the extra force required when you use two hands to hold the ball - this is what all other players have to do. Even when they dunk with one hand, they usually grip it with both, jump and pull back their right hand with the ball to generate momentum to dunk. Having huge hands allowed MJ to do things so differently - at the basket and all across the court and especially with passing. He was truly special.
Julius Paul Actually if I could pick someone to tie his layups with is Kyrie
Julius Paul Jordan is great I agree but Vince Carter jumped over a 7 footer bro in game... That's gotta mean something to not compare or bring his name up in your argument....
People...
You do realize that when he retired from the NBA in 1998
2/3 of the planet population stopped watching NBA anymore ?
I wish there was a time machine for those youngsters to have the chance to
see him perform live on the hardwood!
SairousClaou was one of that,, i only returned to watch during wades championship
Hey bro I grew up watching Jordan greatness
I'm a die hard bulls fan to this day and he spoiled us all those years
I was priveledged to have gone to a few bulls games the old Chicago stadium and now United center
I saw greatness up close and personal
SairousClaou what?!? I’m all for Jordan’ but stop lying please. 2/3 was 4 billion back then. No way has the nba ever had that audience. I think views peaked in his 98 game 6 finals game at like 90 million that’s it. That’s like 2% of the world population
@@suppaman12 i'm 39, i live in Cyprus, thats an island in the Mediterranean if you dont know, we couldnt watch live games then but we waited for videotapes just to see some of Jordans greatness. I stopped watching NBA after he retired and so most of my friends. it just wasnt exciting without him.
And this is what the spectators need to realize..there is a significant reduction in viewership after MJ retired ..from basketball.I suspect ..you will hear his name on the PGA circuit one day....whooping all those golf legends....just saying
His flash is incomparable yet his fundamentals are artistic and impeccable.
Lebron will never be better than Jordan. Even the best players in the NBA MJ consider as the best player in history
Yes. It's like ballet vs boxing.
I am a huge Michael Jordan fan, But you will have to give it to lebron James he does his thing off the court as well,
@Dan 5383 I agree
Thats true
@@charlesswait1185 give what to lebron?
MJ....THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME PERIOD
Love the Castlevania II beat you have going on here!
MJ - The complete package of athletic gifts. Incredible "turn on" starting power (first step). Incredible ability to stop on a dime and either elevate or change direction. Outstanding one and two foot jumping ability. Incredible lateral quickness. Incredible body control in all planes. Outstanding pure speed. Freakish length (arms and hands), outstanding Relative strength (he was only a 198 lb in the 80s, 212 lb - 218 lb as he got older). Freakish vision according to Bill Simmons (read that story if you can). His flexibility looked to be good although Tim Grover once said MJ's flexibility when he first came into the league was subpar... Possibly the greatest endurance athlete in NBA history, especially when you consider how much of a "fast twitch" specimen he was. Incredible durability. A broken foot was his only prolonged DL injury in his entire career. On top of all of this, he just had a cooler looking body that moved a lot cooler than everyone else.
No one since has had all of these gifts in a single package. No, not Lebron, not Kobe, not Westbrook. I like all of them but none of them had this combination of gifts. I wasn't born when Wilt was around so I can't comment there.
On top of all these physical gifts, we're talking about the most mentally tough competitor in the history of sports. Lightning quick mental processing, incredible discipline and work ethic. Zone like focus at all times. Arguably the most clutch basketball player ever. A will to win so strong he literally hand mind control over his teammates and opponents (and coaches and refs lol).
This guy is an all around human freak like very few others in the history of this planet.
Don't expect another one for a VERY long time. If ever.
no you are so wrong just the most overated player..could hardly make the hoop..bron and every bron from now forward so much better
Andreas Papadakis 😂😂😂
@@andreaspapadakis2602 Spoken like a true clueless kid.
Right on. MJ was physical perfection for basketball and then given massive hands to make it unfair. He had the best body of all time of any athlete and that is another reason why he is the GOAT. Perfection does not happen again. Hence MJ will always be in his own universe.
All correct, except greatest stamina belongs to Wilt. No one in any sport has the stamina of Wilt.
Still lov watchin da mann do his thang.. Miss it! Thanks 4 posting dis!👌🏿
MY ALL TIME FAV MJ MOVE IS THE PLAYOFFS WHEN HE STUMBLED THROUGH THE LANE AGAINS THE BULLETS AND HIT THE HANGIEST FADEAWAY I'VE EVER SEEN!
jer bo YES!
Simply unparalleled in his artistry and improvisation. Beyond mortal abilities...
Jordan is the most graceful, beautiful athlete in the history of sport
More than 30 years has passed, yet we still haven't seen anyone greater than this man's grace and arsenal. It's wrong to say MJ was ahead of his time, because his moves are forever timeless
13:20 .... THREE dribbles to go length of the court. That is just ridiculous
Correct. With out traveling. Lebron could do the same but would travel all the way there
Had go back and double check that and I couldn't believe it
courts are small
you'd think this is just luck, but he does it all the time so I'M DAMN SURE it isn't luck
My brother once summed it up after we watched a game: "Jordan make sore shots by mistake than other mofos make on purpose!"
MJ.....A once in a lifetime legend.
30 years later and dozens of clones and thousands of players watching his tapes.....He's the greatest folks
Best layup package ever!!!
I call BS on this video. All those highlights were CGI because no real human being could be that good.
he is not human. everyone knows this.
To air is not human!
twobigjets lol
Hahaha spot on!
I agree this is fake... Only mutants can do these moves.
"His Airness" . gotta love that hang time
Wilt Chamberline was the most dominant player ever but he played in a much smaller era. In todays game I believe he would still be way above average but nowhere near what he was in his day. MJ on the other hand is the greatest ever and we will likely never see another career as accoladed and celebrated as his.
*Chamberlain
Chamberlain was great, except for his one weakness: free-throw shooting.
+Erick Jordan his weakness is Playoffs and Finals ;)
The Greatest Of All Time.
the shot at 2:55 is fuckin impossible to pull off and Jordan did that type of shit with ease that's one of his least celebrated reverses and that shit was so sick
IKr its like he just put lubricant on himself and was like, "nope i slipping through you bastards"
No come even close...23 4ever...MJ..
When people compare other athletes to MJ much less other basketball players it's laughable!
Greatest compactor, athlete, leader , defensive player for his size and greatest clutch shooter there's ever been.
Also he elevated his teammates to way better playing then they were capable of.
He is the Pinnacle without anyone in his discussion.
Pathetic that people want to compare any basketball players to this Man here.
There are great players and then there is MJ.
Gravity ran the other side when it saw MJ.
Thanks for the video !
Slamming on double team..triple teams..keep coming ....cant stop him no matter
GREAT COMPILATIONS!!!!! thank you very much for all those rare footages, superb job!!! Now people can see MJ`s greatness, creativity, quickness, basketball IQ, visual-spatial-motor skills in one place! Thanks!
Come back to me when Lebron wins All Star Game MVP, MVP, Scoring Champ, and DPOY all in the same year. Oh and add TWO 3peats to that as well.
Oh yeah and a slam dunk contest lol
@@mounirezzine33 2 slam dunk contests
LJ: one Bronze @ Olympics.
MJ : two Gold @ Olympics. Can't equal that one.
Or if He wins a slam dunk contest!! Never close to MJ
Besides that stat greatness MJ had finesse and heart and a competitive nature that inspired so many. Just like me. And i still have a sweet shot!
LeBron , kobe and many more ... can made one Jordan
MJ till the #1 in all NBA position
Damm I do miss him on the court...long live the goat 🐐 air Jordan 23!!!thanx for the memories!!!!
Is this even an argument anymore? Jordan is the greatest ever and anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool.
7:47, My man saw Mike coming at him and literally ran in the opposite direction like 'Hell naw, don't want none of that! I'll pass!' 😂
lol
Cory Lackland man I would too.
😃👍
Saw that too..very laughable!
Jordan is like Ken from street fighter 2 : "Attack me if you dare, I will crush you!!!"
And to think that Jordan was pulling these moves 20 to 30 years ago !!!!!!!!!!!! In all those years since, there is still no other player that plays basketball like this.
There isn't a highlight reel long enough for MJ!! Miss watching him play so much. Remember skipping school one day to watch Game 5 vs Cavs, when he hit the game winner at the buzzer over Ehlo. I learned something that day that school couldn't teach me, MJ is the GOAT
What a magnificent video mate thank you for the amazing job you've done.With this video we can realize how great he is also at this era the competition is definitely higher than now so it makes Jordan much greater.
No one will be as good as Jordan... Even the MJ in NBA Live/2K ain’t as good as the real Michael Jordan
The way he leaps so quick and catches the opponents off guard without a fair chance to contend his dunks was incredible
This dude did things with a basketball no one else in this world can do
Jordan was really good with the left hand you can be good at handling with both hands but the reverse layup with the off hand is feels unorthodox and he does it with ease
this,is the greatest highlight video I have ever seen. Just incredible brother
Blissful solitude of legend competitive mind Jordan
I hope everyone keeps in mind that this was during a brutal defensive era. It wasn’t the clear of the lane and let my friend get a poster era of today. I couldn’t believe some of the things they got away with back then.
MJ's eagerness to win made him accomplish so many great moves which we considered impossibly done by humans
I feel so so sorry for this generation who didn’t get a chance to see the GOAT!
pure artistry... no one can do those moves yet...meatball James? give me a fucking brake...
There r only a few people in life that have GOD giving talent. And JORDAN is one he is amazing.
JORDAN is bigger than a top 5.JORDAN is the G.O.A.T and then there's your top 5.
So far above anyone who will ever exist. So perfect, you can't even believe he was real.
Michael Jordan is the greatest the goat!!!!
9:00 is elite, elite athleticism.
The G.O.A.T. , great piece of work putting this together. True enjoyment, I'm glad I in his generation and able to see him play.
Just constantly made his shots more difficult and constantly made shots from places on the court that no one ever will ever ever again be done
My goodness! WOW!!!!! I missed him
Though I think Allen Iverson is the best to ever do it, I gotta admit, Jordan is simply second to none. He is so smooth with it, he practiced to much to where he did not even have to look at the goal to lay up. He knew it was going in. Amazing
Great collection of clips, I remember these from games in the late 80's - early 90's Peace
9:44 beautifully executed, from MJ grabbing Ehlo's? hands to the double bounce pass to MJ!
millenials this day saying that MJ isn't that great and he would get shutdown in todays zone defense,
also those same people is saying that Kawhi Leonard is now the best player in the NBA because of how good he attacks the basket and how good he defends.
oh boy if only those millenials got to watch MJ live on their TV screens.
somebody needs to put together a mj vid with 2pac sound track
"The only thing he has over all the other greats is his consistency in the playoffs" ....so the more important moment !!! and he is the greatest in the finals moment too.....so he is the greatest of all time.
my hero forever !!
One of my favorite Jordan move was against Atlanta I think. He goes underneath 2 defenders, scoops and shoots reverse with both hands on the ball. Anyone knows which move I'm talking about ? We don't get to see it very often but it's just absolutely spectacular.
I know my man! It was sick!
I was at that game
He could dish it up underhanded too, in reverse mode, between defenders. 😲
Just can't stop thinking of ai and his lame comment....practice were talking but practice...well boys and girls watch the master at work....he practiced harder then his games..results...pure greatness...
You hit the nail dead on the head, what we're seeing here from MJ is all about how much he "practiced" these types of shots. I believe that MJ's intensive practice is why he succeeded so often during crunch time in actual NBA games!
Jordan is actually like a great Billiards champion,I mean he always know exactly where to place the ball on the backboard when making some of these unbelievable shots off the glass,or in a sense a mathmatetian...fact
Very well put together. Sometimes we forget how many cold ass layups he had!
BEST FINISHER EVER
Nobody make it pretty like MJ
M.J. is the zen master ! You can't beat him but only maybe you could learn some from his wisdom.
Hey don't be so unconfident, you can beat him
Sports Facts Daily not in NBA FINALS .....nobody had beat him at this level ....and he went 6 times .
Best player of all time
Thanks Michael
It’s just amazing how every shot he took looked like a good shot. The body was always in control no matter what the defense threw at him.
after watching this video i dare u lebron fans to say he's better than jordan. only thing he can do better is flop. great compilation
In my opinion, only two players are in the MJ level, Bird and Magic, but LJ is not so far, and perhaps MJ is a little better than Bird and Magic.
In the LJ level I think is Kobe, Durant, O'neal, Olajuwon, Barkley, Drexler, I. Thomas, Iverson, Rodman (the best defensive player I've never seen), Pippen, Abdul-Jabbar
, and a huge list of hall of fame players, the real superstars of this amazing game.
zikocult abdul jabbar shouldn't b second hand he out did michael in all the stats aside from steals
If i must chose a center i prefer Olajuwon over Jabbar, and his stats are not so good. The stats are not all.
Jabbar is one of the top 5 centers of all time, with no doubt.
zikocult I have a question if u go up for a shot n u land as soon as u shoot is it a travel or is it ok

AIR JORDAN: GREATEST OF ALL TIME!
The way he shoots while falling is quite a beauty. No doubt MJ is a GOD and G.O.A.T.
super video wistiti...du plus grand basketteur de tout les temps...bonne music rakim...et on veut encore le comparé mj est incomparable mon idole le finesse l'élégance la classe...23 forever
No words... They should have sent a poet.
Sorry Stacey "plastic man" Augmon (rip 🙏😢) but here we have the "real plastic man" !!! 😉 Thanks a lot from FRANCE for this incredible footage !!! 🇨🇵😉
