What Michael Jordan did was make people who had never even watched a basketball game, watch, just to see what he could do. He transcended the sport, raised sport in general into another level of public interest as never before. He ushered sport into the cable era. AND, when the chips were on the line, he never missed. Never. You could just sit there, and watch, knowing it was coming, and knowing that there was nothing anybody could do about it.
THAT'S what made him the GOAT.
fairalways well said
Well said buddy
I was one
fairalways
That was the most frustrating part ... not being able to do anything about it!
110% agreed
I don't need to hear any reason. I watched him. People just don't get it. No one else is close.
Willm why is he not the goat? Oh Wait let me guess your a lebron fan
Willm Dude If Jordan Played In This Era He Would Easily Dominate Every Team
Willm And I An Sorry For Assuming Your Fandom
@@55productions he's saying he is the goat dillweed
Exactly anyone who watched him play knows he’s the goat. I feel like that’s one of the big reasons there are some who say LeBron is better because they never saw MJ play.
Jordan went to college, retired for two years mid career, and STILL set the records. GOAT, no doubt.
Damn how do you leave a sport for 2 years to play another one...come back and win 3 finals and get mvp in all of them! Absolutely crazy!
The best to ever play that's how. And the heart of a lion and the will to endure.
Not crazy, orchestrated. Pure b.s. The man with the heart of a lion who couldn't even beat his big brother who was six inches shorter than him.
That's one of the things people don't understand.
Dick Gregory did a Video on Jordan and Magic Johnson. Jordan was fixing games everyone knows he's an addicted gambler, the NBA made him Leave Off and pretend to play baseball until things blew over, no ones telling you to believe it.
this what he did..
Age 33
Mike completed an amazing season in 1995-96 by leading the Bulls to an all-time record 72-10, 25 wins more than the previous season. He also led the league in scoring for a record eighth time and was named NBA MVP. They won in the Finals over Seattle 4-2.
Regular season plus playoffs: 100 games played, 3,043 points, 30.4 ppg. He also averaged 6.3 rpg, 4.3 apg, and 2.1 spg.
Age 34
Jordan led the league in scoring for the ninth time and beat NBA MVP Karl Malone in the Finals 4-2 under Phil, and he was named Finals MVP for the fifth time in 1996-97. They went an amazing 69-13. Kobe averaged 7.6 points in this season as a rookie.
Regular season plus playoffs: 101 games, 3,910 minutes, 3,021 points, 29.9 ppg, 6.3 rpg, 4.4 apg, and 1.7 spg.
Age 35
Michael became a 10-time scoring champion, five-time MVP, and six-time Finals MVP in 1997-98. He was the oldest ever player to do any of that. The Bulls went 62-20 under Phil and beat the Jazz again 4-2. Jordan was 6-0 in the Finals.
Regular season plus playoffs: 103 games, 3,037 points, 29.5 ppg, 5.7 rpg, 3.5 apg, and 1.7 spg.
You couldn't ask for more...his airness...the greatest of all time ever...MICHAEL JORDAN.
1 thing everybody missing about Jordan;
he never tried to aim for records he just loved the game so much everything came naturally #goat for sure
and he never tried to find where the camera is whatever what he does on the court
When he had the ball , we all held our breath...He just made it cool & exciting...miss you, Michael!🥰
Well said, Meeeee tooooo!!!!
Complete resume of the G.O.A.T. His Airness MJ
Jordan has;
-3 more final mvps
-1 more DPOY
-1 more season MVP
-9 more scoring titles
-3 more steals leader
-4 more 1st team all defense selections
-800 more steals
-Higher efficiency rating
-Beat 20 50+ teams in the playoffs (Lebron only defeated 10)
-Jordan never averaged less than 40% Field Goal in the finals
Lebron did it twice
-6/6 (never allowed a game 7)
-Jordan never had a teammate averaged more than 22 points in the finals..
Kyrie averaged over 28 and DWade averaged more than 26
-MJ never ever had a finals meltdown like Lebron in 2011 against the Mavs
-MJ never lost a series he was favoured in, Lebron has lost multiple
-MJ never gave up on his team when the game was on, EVER. Lebron gave up in 2018 Finals after JR mistake, he's given up playing defense
-MJ had more points in the playoffs in less games..all of this accomplished in 13 seasons. Lebron is in his 16th season still chasing the "ghost that played in Chicago"
-Michael Jordan in the playoffs has put up atleast 40ppg, 5rpg, 5apg in 6 different playoff series. Along with an average of about 55% shooting, 3spg and 2bpg. (86 vs bos, 89 vs cavs, 90 vs philly, 92 vs Miami, 93 vs Phoenix, 88 vs cavs) Jordan won every one of those matchups except for the 1986 matchup vs the celtics.
-Jordan in 88-89 averaged 32ppg, 8apg, 8rpg, 3spg off 54% shooting. LeBron has never even came close to this stat line.
-1987 thru 1992, MJ averaged 5 straight seasons of atleast 51% FG shooting. LeBron has never done this.
-The lowest FT% MJ ever shot in a season was 78%. Lebrons highest in a season ever is 78%.
-MJ has a higher playoff FG% of 48.7% to Lebrons 48.3%
-MJ has a higher playoff player efficiency rating of 28.6 to Lebrons 27.3.
-MJ shoots a higher playoff 3 point percentage of 33.2% to Lebrons 32.9%
-MJ 3-peated with one all star team mate, Lebron has always needed more than one to win and still has losses against teams other than GSW
-MJ has 5 of the 7 top playoff series scoring averages of all time and 6 of the top 10. Lebron doesn't have one in the top 10.
-MJ has more Post-Season Records than Russell, Wilt, Kareem, Kobe and Lebron Combined.
-MJ holds the Highest career PER average in NBA regular season, post season and NBA Finals history.
-MJ holds the Highest career Efficiency rating average in NBA regular season, post season and NBA Finals history.
-MJ holds the Highest career Gamescore average in NBA regular season, post season and NBA Finals history.
-MJ holds the Highest career Winshares average in NBA regular season, post season and NBA Finals history.
-MJ holds the Highest MVP shares average in NBA regular season, post season and NBA Finals history.
-MJ is the only player to lead the league in Scoring and Win Defensive player of the Year a season.
-MJ is the only player to Win a championship, scoring title and steals title in the same season.
-MJ played defense his whole career, Lebron don't play it anymore and they say it's cos he's older
-MJ never made excuses for his losses like Lebron with his "broken hand"
-Scoring Titles - Jordan - 10, LeBron -1
-MJ has averaged over 40 points per game in an NBA record five playoff series (and nearly pulled it off against Cleveland in 1989). LeBron has zero. In fact, LeBron has four series where he shot less than 40% for the series (Jordan has 1). Jordan also accomplished this before rule changes came along to make scoring much easier, yet still fared well at age 38 in that era as mentioned below.
-Steals Titles - Jordan three time winner, James zero times. LeBron James allows his opponents to increase their scoring averages in the Finals (see Tony Parker in 2007, Jason Terry in 2011, Kevin Durant in 2012, and Andre Iguodoloa in 2015). This really isn’t close. Jordan locks down his opponents, while James struggles.
-MJ never had his whole season saved by another team mate's shot (Ray Allen)
-LeBron James led both teams in turnovers in 2017 (22), 2016 (31), 2014 (19), and 2011 (24). He was his team’s turnover leader every time except in 2012.
-LEBRON IS 5TH IN HIGHEST TURNOVERS OF ALL TIME, Jordan is 28th
-Pippen missed half of the 98 season, when Jordan was 35. He also missed the final part of the game 6 in Utah, where Jordan made the crucial steal and clutch shot. MJ without Pippen was still strong.
We'll see when Lebron's averages drop. A billion many excuses made for a man who's supposed to be the GOAT.
Great read and great analysis. You should work ESPN . The rating will go through the roof.
Well said
@Max Jacob Ishimwe No one's disrespecting the guy Lebron is def one of the greatest to ever play the game I just felt it best to put his resume out there for this younger generation who wanna think otherwise and discredit MJ as being the goat
@Max Jacob Ishimwe Butt hurt
W
Like I said Michael Jordan is the gift from god to the NBA. I love you MJ.
Moe Bazzi he still the best player ever played the game.
People who didn't watch him play don't realize the impact he had on both ends of the title teams and how he made other jobs easier and was unselfish. But man could he score ...at will
what do you mean
curry is Also very good player🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🎽🎽🎽🎽⛹⛹⛹⛹⛹⛹⛹⛹
Don't put Curry next to a dunking god, just no.
Jordan only player to win defensive player of year and offensive player of year in the same damn year.
and regular mvp and finals mvp. 4 in same year..
@@airj17 not finals mvp as he didnt win a finals until 91. He won DPOTY, OPOTY, and MVP in the same year. Still only one to do it.
@@brandonron7182 Jordan is the only player in NBA history with more than one season of 200+ stls & 100+ blks: [1986-87] 236 stls & 125 blks, [1987-88] 259 steals & 131 blks..
Jordan in 1988: MVP, Defensive MVP, Led the league in scoring 35 ppg, Led the league in steals, All-Star Game MVP, and won the dunk contest all in the same year.
The man won season MVP, all star MVP, scoring title, slam dunk champion and DPOTY in one season. I’m sorry this is the Greatest basketball player of all time.
@@airj17 do you know which year?
U can't explain the feeling when mike had the ball with seconds left it was so thrilling like watching a horror movie everyone eyes would be wide open. 🐐
Exactly the most graceful athlete of all time. Nobody can match MJ.
O hands down on that one
best athlete-yes, most graceful-roger federer
BAD ASSSSSSSSSSSS GOAT
The closest to him would be Kobe
Look Jordan is the best of his field but when it comes to grace is gotta be ronaldinho
Il give you a few reasons -
6-0 finals
5 MVP's
10 Scoring titles
33.6 Finals ppg.
Including a record 41.0 ppg in 1993 Finals.
No one compares in this generation of basketball.
eazi cash 41 ppg on an NBA finals series... men
Suck that Lebron
@hbk facts.. truth in M.J. case, but lebrom lost to D'Rose..
Yes, Michael Jordan is the greatest to me. Wouldn’t argue too much with those who say Bill Russel either, but that’s me.
Wilt
No need to name 10 or 20 reasons. I saw him play. The guy took the basketball to totally different stratosphere. Beside numbers and rings and MVP awards, it was absolutely sensational to watch Michael.
I followed him his whole career...Lebron and Kobe were and are great ...but 23 is the greatest .
Eddy Shluger Kareem got more points more MVPs more all NBA selections and same number of rings. Boom goes your argument
@@TheLuscious in 24 years AND M.J. GAT ALL THAT AND MORE IN 13 SEASON.. AND remember when thos big guys like Will . Russ. and Karrem starts playing they don't have 3 second violation ..and they high was 7'2" each of then ..agaings people that high was 6'10" or 6'11"..
@@TheLuscious Except for the fact that Kareem was only the best player 2 of those 6 championships of his, which is shown with only 2 finals MVPs as opposed to Michael Jordan's 6.
Agreed 100%
The true meaning of the N.B.A. - Never Before Again, will we ever see another Micheal Jordan.
lebron got close and we will probaly not see another lebron for awhile
I will be the best
MJ is the greatest of All Time. I don't think there will ever be another MJ. Just my Opinion.
Micheal jordan
Is GOAT
But there are young college students that are having a better college career than micheal jordan
And many are expected to be first picks of the draft season
quite agree...
@@lodii7246 can have a better college career...cant touch jordan still, dream not even
Ya saying all this he did it college as a freshman and went to another sport and did good in that and then came back and just picked up where he left off nobody has ever done that I don't care what you say the bulls won the championship 3x back to back then missed 2yrs and then won it 2x after that nobody has never done that and I think nobody will
Same labron will never come close
I grew up watching Mike in his prime, and feel very lucky to witness it. He was my idol, he wasnt without flaws, but still amazing. I wish the comparisons would stop. You cant compare anyone to him, just like you cant compare anyone to bird and magic either. That whole era was amazing and so glad I got to see it all
WHY: Because 15 years after he retired.....there’s still a line around the block to buy his shoe!
....says it all!
88' MikeTyson not really they just look nice
Meh, Pippen is Reason Come on men
Lebrons would be like that if they looked like jordans. Lebrons shoes are nothing but basketball shoes. Theres jordans you can wear with anything including a 3 piece suit
Jordans are some of the sweetest looking shoes regardless if they are jordans
Steve Johnson they looked good because of the fact they are Jordan’s shoes
Context guys. They say he couldn't beat Bird. But look at his score. Team needs to win. But individually? They couldn't stop him. Just pray he misses.
Right. Did the first years of Jordan bulls beat that legendary Celtics team? No. Did Jordan always score more points than Bird? Yes.
@Kel Keep yup. he dominated them. That's a good way to lose. That just means MJ didnt have a great team. Unlike spmeone who gives up when losing.
MJ is the man and he will always be the best player ever lived!
Johnnie Walker your videos awesome and the truth I don't know why you got 822 thumbs down they need to look at the video again fantastic job( Johnnie Walker PS there will never be a Michael Jordan ever ever again on this planet// long live MJ 👍😉1 25 2020
Jordan is already the GOAT, but imagine how much better his legacy would be if he didnt retire twice and stayed on the bulls his whole career
I think him leaving improves his legacy
And he basically did
His Airness is the greatest ever period.
i miss MJ so much!!! 😭😭😭😭😭
I think the biggest reason why I believe he's the best is because he doesn't just shoot the ball in...he does it in the most difficult way possible and makes look easy. It's like basketball is too easy for him so he challenges himself by making risky or difficult shots.
Cod4 Wii True and it was definitely easy for him which is why he challenged himself more by going to MLB for 2years
You know what, MJ is the greatest basketball player that will ever live, but you forgot to mention two of the most important reasons for his greatness. The first one I am speaking of is HUSTLE. MJ always hustled! If you've ever played sports, you know the one thing that makes a player stand out is the willingness to hustle. (Some call it "heart," which is kind of an abstract, so I call it by its manifestation.) The second one is the fact that MJ was a died hard "triple zero player;" meaning, MJ would not quit hustling until the final tenth of a second tick and the final buzzer.
Very true, well put.
@@thecottagefarmstead2363
Yes!
When Michael Jordan, Patrick Ewing, Charles Oakley played, they didn't take games "off" during the basketball season to "REST"?

I have too many favorite plays from MJ. But the one that sticks out to me was the finals v Lakers when he could've dunked but switched to the under hand lay up! I was soo upset he didn't dunk as a kid, but when I seen it replayed...it sunk in that i just witnessed something AMAZING! Now i appreciate that moment because i I actually witnessed it!
#MyGoat!!! #BullsFan
You know your the elite top of the line #1 all time great when even in 2019 everyone is still playing in your shadow, trying to match what you've succeeded . He will always be what every nba player to come will wanna be compared to
Not only the greatest basketball player ever but also the greatest athlete all time.
Everyone got his opinion
Mdr d'accord il est ouf lui un mpeu
No ..... Muhammad Ali
Plexamaruanchingdigglyotis _ nope!! MJ was a worldwide icon
Nah, Wilt was a better athlete. LBJ is a better athlete but not a better player.
I love Michael 💙❣️
GOAT hands down!
The only G.O.A.T I ever saw !!! Play basketball is and was 23 not that other 23 can you dig it !!!
he could have left chicago, but didnt. rest is history
Mj did leave the bulls twice lol..and played with the wizards but sure...once he took out magic worthy dumars Rodman and Thomas there was no team he feared...
Asmosis Jones
He quit because of personal problems, returned and lead his team while winning multiple individual awards 😂 stop.
@@razkable He left the bulls and joined them again. It's not like when he left he left for another team.
I quit watching basketball when Jordan retired!
Eddie Uromyeh me too
William Girard
Jordan was like no athelete before him, Yes, he was MVP and yes he responsible for his team winning so many rings but there was something about Jordan that when you watched him playing he just made you feel that life had no worries and the smile he put on your face wasn't out of anger towards other team or stress, the smile he put on your face was genuine and for that moment smiling shaking my head in awe i had no anger or stress or thought about anything but what i was watching.I knew in my heart that the feeling was once in a life time watching an athelete and what an athelete he was!!
Why distroy that and watch any other , leave the fond memories inside and move in life.
Just look at the crowd reactions and look at the reactions these days, not the same.
RIP basketball
Eddie Uromyeh Jordan is the personification of how every basketball player wants to be.
Eddie Uromyeh - Yeah, but when he played, it was the greatest time in sports. I'll never forget those games or that time in sports history. It will always be special to me.
me two
GREATEST Athlete in the History of Sports...
MJ is the GOAT!
ncaa champion. game winning shot.
ncaa poy. all american. olympic gold.
NBA Rookie of the year.
All NBA Defensive teams.
Multi NBA POY.
6 Finals player=6 rings + 6 finals mvps.
not afraid to take the last shot. from college to retirement. he had the balls and converted the biggest of them. He had tremendous basketball iq and his vision and passing were lazer sharp. He was gifted with the absolute best athletic ability paired with his determination, hard work, and on court smarts made him 1 of a kind. Highest scoring average(ppg) ever and considering the Wizards years are figured in there too thats amazing. he was the most competitive ive ever seen. seriel like problem with winning. I wont even list the off court stuff. His brand speaks for itself financially. But on court there was and still is the greatest to ever have played.
Excuse me check the Magic Johnson performance, is the most complete and best player, He do not # The extra help or dirty game of Denis Rodman ...but Jordan yes#. Without Rodman, Steve Kerr-sniper . While Jordan played with the Chicago Bulls between 1985-1990 without Denis Rodman was defeated by Pistons. Jordan become a brand is only business, he never become a sniper or shooter of 3 points.
U made ur point! No argument
Excuse me, I'm not saying bullshit, yeah MJ was a talented basketball player but not was a sniper, when the game are going to finishing and you need a shooter of three points for strike very hard your adversary with only 7,6, 5 or only 3 seconds to end the game. The best clutch shooter was Larry Bird but also Robert Horry, Curry (for me the best in this age), Kobe Bryant, Reggie Miller, Drazen Petrovic (This guy died too young, but he was an exceptional player). I must admit that MJ in mentality, physical abilities, leadrship and determination he was better than Kobe the most nearly competitor. Lebron is a BS as a Tyson , the Lebron's daddy is Curry (Golden Warriors)
ua-cam.com/video/Z-8aZ5orIRg/v-deo.html Whithour Rodman MJ never gets 6 tittle, that guy recover 1 3 rebounds, he fucks the best player of the adversary.
I wanted to say you those shooters are better than MJ out the perimeter, but he is the great of all time, I was checking his history in my memory, because i was witness in 1986 when MJ scores 63 points against larry Bird and Boston Celtics in his second age. After the fierce rivalry against the fucking pistons lead by Isaiah Thomas, Bill Lambeer,Joe Dumar , MAhorn, etc. The famous " Bad Boys#
I can say with a 100% of accurate according the facts that Jordan has been the best player along the NBA history. Julius Rizo.
I didn’t even like Basketball until I accidentally watched a Bulls game. Jordan was literally a magic show happening right in front of you. I had no idea someone could move that quick and trick people into doing things they don’t mean to commit to. It’s like if he decided to dunk it was going to happen and no one was going to stop it. I actually witnessed 14:28 on tv and that was my first wtf moment I ever witnessed of him. I was hooked.
Michael Jordan u will always be the greatest forever and forever
I had the pleasure of watching mike play and have been watching the game ever since.nobody andi mean nobody is even close to his lvl and there may never be one.
jamie nutter its true, kobe was the closest
Think Kobe Bryant is the closest one.
@@yuriylazarenko42
Yes I Agree!
Kobe Bryant played with extreme passion and gritty heart; Lebron James SHOWED " the world during sweeping he suffered in the NBA Finals, "NO HEART"
@@whatup53
Right!
Michael John- Heart
Kobe Bryant- Heart
Isaiah Thomas- Heart
Lebron James ??????
close but not quite
The absolute greatest. No one has even come close. Might be the greatest athlete of all time.
I love u
Close to MJ,he was Kobe bryant..;)
Kobe Bryant.
Prime Time
Eric Medina I agree Mike is the greatest. However, Kobe is number two easily. And I’m not just sayin that cuz he dead now I even knew it back then when he was still in his prime years. All his years from his fourth season on were his prime.
My favorite moment was not when he was a player..I think he was involved with the wizards, an opposing player was jawing a bit, and he said “that’s some awful big talk from a guy that’s wearing my shoes.”
MJ the best ever hands down😂😂😂💪💪
He won 9 All-Defense first team awards? OMG!!! 😱😱😱 GOAT
Michael was a PURE KILLER on the court and controlled games in the palm of his hand! He was unstoppable! and the moves he did on the court and the PURE ARTISTRY in which he performed, made made you lean back & go....WOW! .....He ALWAYS found a way! And played in the toughest/most talented era! That’s Why No matter who u r (even when he was playing) u HAD to love Michael Jordan! ...& that’s y they still buy the shoe.... and that’s why he’ll ALWAYS be the GOAT!

...Ali take a backseat! Ruth... please!
Dude holds an absurd amount of still-standing records. Many of which are playoff records, because he was a master of clutch. He didn't buckle under pressure, he fed on it.
Those free throws in the playoffs literally make or break his career, put him on the map for sure. So much pressure in that situation.
LeBron's dream to be like Kobe.Kobes dream to be like Mike. Mike's dream to be the GOAT!
May Kobe be RIP...
My favorite Michael Jordan moment was in the 1989 celebrity basketball game. Arsenio Hall was coaching the opposing team and Magic Johnson was guarding Jordan. Mike dribbles the ball right to Arsenio and tells him, "watch what I do to your boy." He breaks Magic off the dribble and dunks on like 3 guys. He ran down the court looking at Arsenio. Lol... #Legendary
Shah-Allah Shabazz - I'm pretty sure I've seen all of these midsummer night charity games and Magic & MJ were always on the same team. Check the vids on yourtube.
Clark Bucher Not according to this. I heard this from Arsenio on his show back in the days.
Shah-Allah Shabazz - it's inaccurate. I just checked MJ and Magic were always on the same team
Clark Bucher Maybe you're right. I remember hearing the story back in the day. Arsenio told the story on his show. But maybe he was BSing
Shah-Allah Shabazz - I am researching it because I sooooooo want the story to be true :)
Honestly the best state that clearly sticks out even in today's game is his clutch shot % the league is 28% LeBrons clutch is 33% with is impressive but MJ has it all beat with 50%....that is just unreal the man is the greatest hands down he just dominated that Era he played in he shut out great named basketball players at that time...to go 3peat retire come back 3peat I mean seriously?!? Name another that can do that? You can only imagine that if his dad did not die and he stayed in they would've had 2 more I think they would've won 8 straight
Not only greatest basketball player but one of the most famous athletes ever, even people who never watched basketball in their life know who MJ is. without MJ/ basketball wouldn't be the 2nd most popular sport FACT
Jordan is simply the greatest no question about it he had it all!🐐🐐🐐
The Flu Game is my favorite Michael Jordan moment.
HE IS THE GREATEST BASKETBALL PLAYER TO EVER PLAY IN THE NBA
He's the greatest to ever touch a basketball.
6-0 vs 3-6 with a much harder road to the finals. Way more clutch, way more cerebral, and way more heart and will to win then Lebron period.. nuff said MJ the Goat.
Cameron Elam and way more fundamentally sound and skilled
Mj wayway better than lebron, kobe close to mj.
MICHEAL MADE KOBE. HIS LITTlE BROTHER, AND HOMIE.
REST IN PEACE KB, AND YOUR LITTLE PRINCESS.
if your going to ask who was better jordan or bron?? please ask someone who was born no later than 90. thanks
Easy to forget the incredible defense. A moment of silence for defense.
GOAT of athlete ever
Brent Carroll basketball
@jocriss Yuuuup
the GOAT
Up to 2014...I would like to see mj in this new small ball 3 ball era with less big men post ups from 2014 onwards ...where teams hit 10+ 3s normally.....and some make 15+ a game.....20 in the playoffs
Goat. No doubt
@Asmosis Jones Wouldn't we all?! Jordan would tear this game apart today.
THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!!
Amen.
I am 19 years old, and I am kinda sad that I didn’t get to experience Michael Jordan play. Whoever did is very lucky.
Growing up in the 80s and 90s, the NBA was packed with titans. There was something different about Jordon. It was pure magic. The game will never be the same.
Mj is above average. I respect him though . He has many sons, but their all better
There never was and there never will be another Michael Jordan. Nobody come even close to him. He is the absolute GOAT.
Mj is above average. I respect him though . He has many sons, but their all better
Michael just toyed with his opponents. He ruled the game, no one was even close.
When you include the "high" and "middle" posts along with the "low" post, Michael Jordan is also the greatest post player in NBA history.
“Not only is he the best player but he’s also the greatest athlete ever to compete in any sport”
Magic Johnson (1993)
“That’s God disguised as Michael Jordan. He’s the most awesome player in the NBA”
Larry Bird (1986)
“If I had to choose a player to take a shot to save the game I’d take Michael Jordan....”
Pat Riley
You left something out. Yes Riley said, "If I had to choose a player to take a shot to save the game I’d take Michael Jordan....” But Riley then added, "...but if I had to choose a guy to take a shot that would save my life it would be Bird."
527Kenny bird isn’t better
part of MJs greatness also was being a great leader getting his teammates playing to his standard making interchangeable role players better ...practices treated like actual games just as if not more intense..dominated his era regular season and game elevated to an even higher level in the playoffs and finals...offensive/defensive juggernaut..he wasn't just focused on just scoring point as many points as he could ..he was strategic in all aspects on the court ...all about winning
What separated Jordan was mentality, period, so competitive, dominated the entire league.... No one could beat him. He was never satisfied, never complacent, always trying to outdo the best or his best.... Highest standards.... Countless accolades..... Unrelenting in his pursuit for standards that no one had achieved... Insane work ethic.... He was the man when it counted... extreme amount of confidence... He is just head and shoulders above anyone. Still....
LeBron would have missed that free throw
for sure lol
ofc lechoke is the greatest choker of all time
LMAO! 3 of them. Lechoke
i bet $100 hell miss.....
I agree
Ever Jordan moment is the best Jordan moment
Mj is just too deadly in the perimeter....the dribbling, the fake, the crossover, the hang time...and his artistry in fadeaway made him unstoppable.
Kobe is a good player and so is lebron.
I've been watching Jordan videos over this last month on UA-cam and this is by far the best one. I actually got chills at many different points throughout the video. Props
Not one even came close to his skills period. Anyone who says otherwise is jealous of his a complishments and that is their loss! Bulls fan forever!
It's not easy to be an MJ
MJ = Michael Jackson
MJ = Michael Jordan
I think you can add a few to that list.
MJ = Magic Johnson
MJ = Mick Jagger (Rolling Stones lead singer)
MJ = Mahalia Jackson (Gospel Singer)
MJ = Michael Johnson (Track star and multiple Olympic Gold medal winner)
Just to name a few
Jordan was such a goat MJ that he added another J to become MJJ
Cant br compared to and most arguments today that lebron is better come from people that aren't even 30 yes old and only seen highlights of mj so their opinion is pointless ✊
Every NBA player today owes Michael Jordan 10% of their salaries cuz he made this league what it is. It's because of him.
- the late great Kobe Bryant
Simply amazing.. The "GOAT"
M.J aka The GOAT
6-0 FINALS RECORD
Sweet vid Johnny w, fav move has to be against NYN when he left Oakley and starks and jamed over PE, nuff respect MJ
One of my life’s regrets not seeing him play live. 🤙🤙🤙
It stopped in the air, wow, amazing !!
How dare OJ Mayo even think for a nanosecond to disrespect MJ?? How dare he!!!
There was something to the way MJ played the game, I can't put it in words. I'll just call it the "X factor" or the "The Force" as in Star Wars. Some players had "the Force" like Allen Iverson and Kobe Bryan, but no other player had as much of "the Force" as Michael did. Steph and Durant has it. I just can't seem to find it in Lebron, he is great but its just not there. This is my subjective view, so you can call it bias if you want.
Emerson: exactly! Best, most accurate comment ever-ever. The thrill, the chill.
Actually, if you watch closelye, you can see the force in LeBron. Why? Cause even if no one touches him, he somehow stumbles, falls and gets fouled. I think that kind of force is what they call "the flop"
Emerson Guhiling he was yoda
Emerson
Where I'm from, we call it the "IT FACTOR". And Mike had it for sure!!
Mesmerizing, Captivating, Poetry in motion........call "it" what you will. Anyone that ever watched him play knows he had "IT".
LeBron is dope
“Other than Kobe Bryant Bc he steals all my moves” 🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️
Fearless. Invincible. GOAT.❤❤❤
You just had to see it! What he did was AMAZING!
Like the other MJ......Jordan is head and shoulders above the rest of his peers!
And also let's not forget the players around Michael Jordan Grant/ Scottie Pippen and the rest of the gang they were on fantastic even Dennis Rodman😉👍
That's taken to have the remaining 4 in the hardwood but the leadership from Jordan is there, the passion to win and transform teammates with his trust, remember paxsons Trey , the successor Steve Kerr winning shot....its what we call team playing no monopoly
He made the players around him
He isn’t just the greatest of all time in basketball. Its not hard to argue that he is the greatest and most dominate athlete ever in ALL sports. In basketball, whoever is second, which ain’t leflop, ain’t even close🙅🏼♀️
Coronavirus: everyone is on lockdown. ESPN : release the tapes..🎥
jordan is the best because players during his era was faster, better ball handler, more shooter and more creative than the players of the 2000's. plus there were no illegal defense during the 90's, semi-zone was allowed at that time. so yes, jordan is the best.
also the they didnt have that gay double team rule like they do now
Janpaul Mananghaya it was reported he ran a 4.6 forty in college one year , he's so competitive the following next year he clocked a 4.3 forty thats moving for a basketball player , it's in a interview this was stated & confirmed by Jordan himself !
63 points in his rookie years what!?
My greatest moment from Michael Jordan besides seeing him play for the Wizards before final retirement was watching him play against Charlotte on t.v. once. He ran to the right sideline and jumped. He drew at least three players with him. He jumped before they did and then when they caught up they jumped too. In the slow motion replay...two of the three players began to descend and Jordan was still in the air in a fade away form...when the last defender began to descend Jordan released the shot and began to descend himself...upon landing...nothing but net! 😎
2:30 Lebron Would've definitely missed some of those freethrows. MJ was so Clutch man. Yeah he missed some but, His makes far exceed his misses.
MJ is way better than Kobe and that's for sure.Through all the years have passed,he (MJ) achieved so many things and changed the face of the basketball history.Kobe tries every moves of MJ but there's no way that he could be more closer to him.Maybe even in his PRIME.
The finnesse of mJ was not copied by Kobe...compare their moves ,grace and fluid moves goes to mj
His whole career unstoppable tha best ever!!!!!!!!!!
My favorite moment is when he said "except for kobe, since he steals all my moves". Skill passed from generation to gemeration (unintendedly🤣)
Like Michael from Dr. J, and Doc from Connie Hawkins. A little before your time...lol
mj's 6 rings and 6 finals mvp, that made him the goat. even the legend bill russell's 11 rings can't top that!
Jordan lost the mvp season twice during bulls dominance..Barkley and then Malone .. but then he showed who the king by won 2 mvp finals during both seasons he lost mvp seasons..point is Jordan showed up when the it mattered the most..
they could make a jordan and bulls highlight movie and make jordan another billion easy!!!
The last dance revenue was totally donated to frontliners , isnt amazing .That's the heart of a true goat.
Michael Jordan gracefully lift up NBA...
The one and only GOAT!
I love Michael Jordan
