Its Crazy Cause The Commentator Prediction Was Too Accurate ! MJ Ended Up Becoming The Goat
Alot of people new but NBA teams thought you need a great big man to win a Championship.
What about Wilt averaging 36 against professionals when he was in HS?
@@marksheppard6498 shit Wilt was probably the same size in high as he was in the league 😂🤣
this dude said it over and over throughout the entire game, that Jordan could be an all-time great, before he ever played one tip-off of NBA Basketball.
No doubt, but what helped MJ become the Goat, was the fact, that as he got older, he was able to still elevate his game play. Even when he could no longer just fly by the defense and throw it down, he used other methods to flat out embarrass his opponents, not to mention that he played solid defense ✌🏾
Commentator was 99% accurate! He could be one of the greatest; no, MJ eventually became the GOAT.
"There is just no limits of what Michael can do!" so accurate!😉
Shoot 3's
Michael Jordan showed BEFORE his first pro game that he was going to be the goat.
He thoroughly outplayed the NBA’s best players.
He is the greatest player of all time by far!!!
Only 4 and they hardly practiced with each other and threw those games to not make team USA look bad
You Jordan people are morons.
Y’all talk more about this game than the series where he’s 0-2 as a pro against bird and 1-3 against Isaiah…… but but he beat these guys in a college vs pro game. Hooray.
@@chipchiperson679That makes zero sense. College players losing to NBA players doesn't make them look bad. It's supposed to happen. Keep telling that lie if it helps you sleep at night.
@@w.davidholland7228 cause you’re dumb and don’t know shit about the history of these games. The same thing happened in 1988 when Jordan was part of an NBA squad with Isaiah Thomas playing against David Robinson’s 88 USA Olympic team and they too lost proving the NBA squads hardly practiced together and threw those games as their patriotic duty however that backfired when that same 88 olympic team got embarrassed against the USSR in the Seoul Olympics forcing USA basketball to redeem themselves by replacing college players with NBA players in the 92 Olympics where that NBA team USA roster blew out every country by an average of 43 points to win gold
@@chipchiperson679
You know this as an insider ? You were there when they decided to throw the game ? You are sure magic and isiah Thomas had zero chemistry ??
Non of the things you said can possibly be verified, all we know is USA went 8-0 ! And Jordan looked the best player on the court and it’s no surprise he came in as a rookie and scored 28.1 ppg
WTF, the GOAT destroyed the NBA all stars multiple times.. Wow!!! and MJ was not yet part of the NBA this time..
8 times to be exact.. haha
That's not what happened.
@@PoliticusRex632uh yeah it is they beat nba all starts 8-0
Michael Jordan would break the internet if he debuted today

@@___Anakin.Skywalker man gtfoh hell nah
@@qdontae6 bruh LeBron already proved he's the king, best ever an GOAT.
2016. Period.
I remember the night the Bulls drafted Jordan, the local news sportscaster said, "He shoots like Jerry West, and goes to the basket like Julius Erving." I thought, "Yeah right."
He could never shoot like West and did you not notice him when he was ACC and NCAA POY?
Thats brilliant 🤣
@@PoliticusRex632 Jordan shot .497 from the field, West shot .474.
@@LawrenceAugust_ and?
@@PoliticusRex632 ... and so he could shoot like West. Are you that dim?
This is why Bobby Knight called him the best basketball player he had every seen before he ever stepped on an NBA court. He was already dominating the 80s elite. Isaiah Thomas, Magic, Alex English, etc.
.....and Bobby Knight was definitely not one to sing praises like that.....he must have been impressed beyond measure.....
hnmn& the 90s too for that matter
@@Silvereagledude right
He called him the greatest athlete he'd ever seen on a basketball court, as well. This still holds true today.
This is when the jealousy and the so-called freeze out game came into play with Isaiah Thomas.This game from mj
Michael Jordan & Muhammad Ali are the only two athletes that I can watch & be amazed like it was the first time over & over again.. It's also beautiful to hear the commentators realizing that they're witnessing the GOAT in his infant stage lol
MJ Billy the Kid.
Ali taught a clinic about boxing -- how to avoid a punch, take a punch, play your opponent into your tune, bait him and reel him in -- he was 3 or 4 steps ahead of the guy he fought, it was just a matter of 'how'.... Also, the man had high pain tolerance, that's something everyone doesn't have.
I dont think he outplayed magic by that much in this game
@@spenser6353 Remember, this was the summer for the professionals so this was their 'time off' but for the college kids they were representing their country so they were serious in this game in all fronts.
Bobby Knight is the Nostradamus of NBA....and he said MJ the Best Player to ever played the Game....and now look at MJ.... he's just the G.O.A.T
no he's not
@@HiNRGboyhe is. MJ the goat
The commentator too!!! Kept on saying it.... he must have a crystal ball or something
@@HiNRGboy Yes he is.. who would it be if not MJ?
@@libfit9068 Bill Russell has 11 championships in 13 seasons, no one will ever touch that, ever. Wilt Chamberlain has the most dominating seasons out of any player, ever.. No one will touch his records either, ever. Those are the two greatest players of all time. Jordan is great but has to be under those two guys.
Watching this game also shows why Jordan didn't win a championship until I believe his 8th year, he didn't have enough help on the Bulls, watching him play with the Olympic team makes it very clear to me, that if the Bulls had been able to surround Jordan with a great supporting cast like he had on the Olympic team (which was more like the 91 Bulls team) he would have run out of fingers to put rings on. I mean this game was before his NBA debut!!!
Fact if he had slipped and ended up on a okay to average team it would have been a problem for the league in the late 80s for real
True without a doubt!
Dude could of won like 7 or 8 if he wanted too, maybe more.
That's funny considering one of these games he was covered by his future teammates Wes Mathews and Quentin Dailey.
@@PoliticusRex632 yes, they brought the two of them in for the sixth game. Jordan immediately became a starter ahead of both of them on the Bulls from his first day.
What I found most interesting was Magic was talking big time trash to Michael the whole game..... and it’s the kind where he’s was trying to keep Michael in check mentally and get him to play a different game..... but it didn’t work he was fabulous.
When they still didn't know that that will back fire. Beat him with kindness as they say. Lol
probably the first time he took it "personally".. 🤣
I dont think he outplayed magic by that much in this game
This was a game to showcase Michael Jordan,unbelievable quickness and athletic ability with great midrange game.Magic the best I ever seen in terms of playmaking,reading and making the right decisions ,the master of the fastbreak,the greatest at running with the ball from 1979 till about 1987,then he slowed down and became more of post up player since Kareem was aging.
"He's going to sell some tickets." What a prophetic statement! His time was the climax of the NBA. He was an athletic spectacle, a one man highlight. The greatest one. Imagine that he did not trade his way to sure championships through super teams. Today, Steph is the only big star that has stuck to the team that drafted him.
Shut the fuck up. Players dont choose what team drafts them. Jordan, just like Russell, Bird, Magic, Duncan, Kobe and Steph, were gifted teammates and coaches that fit their respective styles when they were on top, but that doesn't make Kareem or Lebron, who elevated below average teams for half of each's career, any less in contention as the greatest.
Giannis?
Well when Kevin Durant comes to your team to save you from lebron James you dont need to go anywhere lol that first finals the cavs didnt have Klove or kyrie Irving and lebron averaged 35 points 15 rebounds and 12 assists over 6 games and damn near beat them himselves... had jr Smith as his second best offensive option lol.. the next year at full strength they got it done... woulda been an all time great rivalry but the golden shower warriors recruited Kevin friggin Durant and had 4 allstars on one team!!! The only guy that's truly had the balls to stick no matter what is damien lillard
LeBron is the greatest one
You're welcome, enjoy your free education from me
@@TheRimasyele you're not wrong but he only won 1 so far.
When MJ did that putback dunk off the Ewing miss, I was thinking 'MJ not even a rookie just casually walking in the air'
Magic was so smooth with the ball in the open court
Amazing awareness. Always loved & respected magic tremendously.
He’s not one of the greatest. He’s the greatest one.
I agree, but you could make cases for Kareem.
@@nathansalinas1669 there’s no case for Cap
No cases at all...
In times of sickness
In times of trouble
In times of media
In times of rivalry
In times of challenges
In times of every possible hardship
He overcame them all...
He is was and forever will be the greatest... And there's not a doubt in my mind.
@@nathansalinas1669Who is Kareem?
Iverson was the greatest💯💯💯
Look at all those bodies under the ring, you earned your dunk back then
Exactly and this is part of the reason the quality was better
Billy Packer the nail on the head. He was the first one to openly say that about Jordan.
Wasn’t even an nba player but he was already outplaying legends 🤦🏾♂️ 🐐
@nellek970 why tf would you write that comment?
@@georockmann7113 seems like he was kidding.
Geo Rockmann he’s right
@@thedarkfrost2351 yes but actually no. It's goddamn overreacting people who decided if a guy is a damn bust after only 3 years of not joining any all star team. Remember that Lowry (who is nonetheless a good player) always made the all star team instead of Conley considering the 2 different Conferences. Let alone those players like Nash, Billups, Curry and Kobe who did not peak instantly mainly because of injuries, not being the 1st or 2nd go to guy or due to lack of experience.
Then he got outplayed by all of them for 6 years straight
This game also showed the brilliance of Bob Knight as a coach, recognizing his players' talents. He sometimes played MJ at forward, instead of guard,, due to his versatility as a basketball player. Even Doug Collins recognized that versatility later as a Bulls' coach, sometines playing MJ at the point, instead of shooting guard. MJ would average a triple double p/game during that short time.
🐐🐐
Funny comment considering Knight had Larry Bird and let him go.
MJ was playing against NBA all stars and he took that personally 😂
“I think Michael Jordan can be an even better pro”
..try THE GOAT instead.
There really is no comparison....MJ is simply the best ever....no disrespect to LeBron but he isn't even in the same bracket as MJ....
MJ is the most fundamentally sound player that has played the game .. his defensive positioning is spot on . He has no weak side . He can go to his left or right on offense . His post up game is the same he can turn to his left and right and shoot his perfect fade away .. to top it off he plays every game like it’s game 7 finals … put all that together with 48” vertical… and you get the GOAT in basketball
tim duncan
💯
This 48" vertical myth is nonsense. Have you ever seen his head 6 inches above the rim? No.
I disagree. He wasn’t the most fundamentally sound player by a long shot, but he was the most all-around skilled.
He never fully developed his left hand and he wasn’t a particularly skilled passer.

We are talking about guys whose fundamentals were the foundations of their games. That wasn’t the case with Jordan. His athleticism and skills were his foundation.
Those guys had all of the fundamentals, from the footwork to ball-handling, passing, etc.
Jordan was as complete a player as you will ever see, but it was because of his skills and athletic ability as well as his formidable (but not superior) fundamentals.
@@shenlonggohan If you ever watched Jordan live, you would have seen his head above the rim. Tv camera angles can fool you. Jordan didn’t have a 48” vertical, Dominique did.
But Jordan had hops, and he got up above the rim at times.

I dont think he outplayed magic by that much in this game
That's why he's the GOAT!
I LOL'd when the commentator said Jordan COULD be one of the best basketball players ever.
considering he hadn't even played a pro game yet, it's quite prophetic.

Billy Packer really summarized Jordan’s career.
Prophetic
@@cornellhartfield8731 Most definitely, his prediction even succeeded expectations.
@@cornellhartfield8731 yup,yup he was right.
8-0 sweep of the exhibition series against the NBA all-star team... WTH!!! NBA didnt win a single game? Cant say these legends played casually because pride and bragging rights were HUGE back in the day.
Ewing And Jordan on the same team? Is it really a surprise they went undefeated?
@@relatablepain4347 Yeah people forget that Ewing was on that team. They act like it was all Mike. Pat was the difference, him over Nance any day.
@@hennylo68 Now put Ewing and Jordan together, instead of Pippen and guess what, Jordan's getting rings! Lots of them. That's why Jordan wouldn't have rings with out Pippen arguement is garbage. The man needed one other all-star just like every other great to ever play.
@I Am King Nope, it was Jordan with help, mainly Ewing. Stop diminishing Mike's teammates to make the case for Jordan's greatness. MJ fans don't do that. Only Lebron fans do that.
@I Am King Case close? What case are you trying to make with those statistics. So he averaged 5 more ppg than Pat and he won it by himself? Lol what a joke.
@3:30 he was spot on with predictions
No he was off because Jordan IS the greatest.
That NBA roaster was a Dream Team, and the collegues detroyed them 🙀🙀🙀🙀
play those kids against the lakers and the celtics...
Wow, never seen these videos or knew about these games. Jordan easily wins the Goat conversation. Who can do that to NBA legends while coming out of college???
These were literally two NBA All-Star teams playing each other. Incredible!
way ahead of his time and could definitely thrive in today’s game. he just looks different out there from everybody else, skill wise and athletically
Guess u never saw dr j
Lebron needs to watch this game and listen to what their saying about his play. The great Bobby Knight once said he was the greatest basketball player he ever seen. Now what does that tell you. He knew just like I knew he was destined for the greatest to ever play this game. MJ's college team was the last college team to win the Olympics. And that why they formed the Dream Team. He's going up against NBA stars and killing them. Lebron needs to take note on who's the best. Lebron gave his own self the name king james. The fan gave MJ, AIRNESS,AIR JORDAN just to name a few. MJ is the GOAT and that's final.
8-0 is so unbelievable.
How can anyone say he is not the greatest ever?
Labron may have better numbers but he will never come close to how good was m,j.
Better #..lol
Turnovers,bricked shots???
LeSheep having better numbers than Jordan is one of the biggest misconceptions I’ve ever heard in my basketball debating life!LeSheep has better rebounding and assist numbers but not Scoring,steals or blocks!Now if your referring to counting numbers then yes because he played more games but I judge dominance by averages!Also if you really wanna go in-depth then you go to PER!Jordan is #1 all time!These LeSheep fans will disregard that!
I think they went 9-0
@@gmoneybagz2376 ikr, like lebron has better numbers but he was only up by 1 RPG and 1 APG despite holding the ball all the time on offense.. that's stat padding to me bro..
What the hell does Lebron have to do with this? Learn how to spell and pay attention to the video clown 🤡
If this game was played before Jordan was drafted by the bulls he wouldn’t have been a bull!
Portland would have definitely drafted Jordan...but the million dollar question is would Houston draft Olajuwon or MJ? 🤔
Maybe Portland, but still both Portland and Houston needed big players from that draft. Can't really tell.
I heard many years ago that Portland offered their pick and Drexler to Houston for Ralph Sampson. Rockets declined.
So... Theoretically we could have seen a Jordan, Hakeem, Drexler big 3....
@@jongmacinas2580 Houston didn't need a big man. They had Ralph Sampson before the injury. Portland didn't need him since they had Clyde.
@@hennylo68 back in the day, 1big is not enough. Whenever a promising big like Hakeem is available, teams pick them. Banking on Sampson alone was not a wise decision when they know another one is available. Bigs have much higher premium during those years. But I would agree that if Hakeem was not in that draft, Houston would certainly pick MJ.
You are correct Drexler was already in Portland, that actually further my point about their team needing a big man. If bowie wasnt there, do you think they would not pick MJ even they already had Clyde?
Man Jordan dunked on magic ass!! And Perkins put back was sick 🤕
Skill-set, IQ, athleticism and drive= G.O.A.T!
That's what Michael Jordan is!
Greatest in High School, College, and NBA = Greatest of ALL Time = Kareem
@@gregorydurden2012MJs my GOAT but I always respect someone's opinion when they say the Captain is theirs.
Bobby Knight's praising of MJ probably created the very foundation for the impending Isaiah Thomas' issues in the MJ - Bulls era.
Jordans 6 championships are at the bottom of my list of reasons why Jordan is the goat.
A vastly underrated comment!
The absolute Greatest and accept no substitute...!
This is the living proof that MichaelJordan is a dominant player in his younger year than Lebron James, imagine they beat the All-Star NBA team led by Magic Johnson & Larry Bird also they're in younger year thatime,.compare to Lebron in his younger year, he can be beat the all-star Nba player in his younger year??
Lebron didn't go to college he was playing NBA straight out of high school. Don´t get me wrong Jordan is goat, but Lebron just had it different
What surprised me wasn't the fact that they beat them, but that the NBA players didn't win a game out of the 8 games that were played 0-8. Shutout.
That's not the entire story. There were some closed-door scrimmages prior to the series, and the NBA All stars won all of those games.
8-0 sweep? College kids sweeping NBA stars? How could that possible? Nowadays, even the worst NBA team can beat the best college team easily.
I guess that goes to show that the talent in college was so much better back then, Than it is today !
@@jonathanbatturs6359 Thats because you had to go to college to get drafted and play for a yr or 2 and most athletes played out their college careers or left 1yr early. Of course that had a lot to do with NBA pay back then also. Plus the culture and relevance of a degree back then played a factor in most college athletes decisions. A degree was worth as much as getting drafted in most cases plus college basketball was probably more popular than the NBA back then. It really hadnt went international yet and ppl looked at college athletes with a bit more reverence back then so most players wanted to stay in college unlike today. Js
Perhaps deliberately lost to intimidate the other olympic teams that year
It was the golden generation of college basketball Talent at that time. We'll never see anything like it. Also to be fair to the NBA All-Stars they didn't really play together very often whereas the college kids played together a lot because they were the Olympic team.
@@GodsView1 the egos of the NBA players were way too big for that to happen
Hate to break it to you kids, there is someone better than LeBron James and that will never change.
Bird and magic were calling him the GOAT before he ever even won one

Then Isaiah claiming he can beat MJ one on one? Damn that small man
lebron at any stage of his career can never shoot better than college jordan
Amen to that!!

False .. if that was the case he would've got out the 1st round without a top 20 player of all time .. both Kobe and LeBron did it but Jordan couldn't .. just facts

@@a1obbr630 Jordan won 6 champions 2 three peats with the same exact team after retiring over a year. You can't even argue for LeBron the delusions. Greatness is clearly defined in character. When did LeBron ever play against the NBA All Stars before drafted? When did he win a Championship in College, or a Gold Medal in the Olympics before being drafted?
You can even compare the levels. Jordan was practically a Dr. Of Basketball before being drafted. They don't hand out PHDs to basketball players but being the best in your field made you that. Ironically he was compared to Dr. J the architect of that style.
Look how packed the paint used to be.. wow
8-0. I mean, it's nice to think the NBA players weren't really trying to win, but c'mon--surely they would want to win ONE GAME just for pride. But they couldn't. The next generation was coming.
Pre-NBA Jordan dominating in an 8-0 Sweep of the NBA All Stars!!
Pat Riley would have never coached again in the NBA, you just got wooped by kids not even 23, WTF. MJ is the best ever hands down forever!
he amazed the world with those baskets never seen before
There’s nothing he did this game the world hadn’t been seen before but rather not all in one player.
Damn. Imagine watching this game as a Bulls fan.
I remember !
I couldn't even imagine the excitement back then. To see this happen and know he's coming to your team must have been the greatest feeling on planet Earth.
@@whenisdinner2137 facts. If a prodigy like this was coming to the Knicks (I’m a Knicks fan) and killing guys like Lukas and Giannis and Tatum and Lebron I’d be over the moon. Can’t even imagine.

That guy who the MAIN HOST of FIRST THINGS who brags about LEBRON needs to see this
I think Jordan is not only the greatest basketball player of all time, he is the greatest athlete I’ve ever seen. The complete package. Speed, skills, strength, mind, heart - all top tier. If I had to pick one man to lead a team or take the game winning shot, I would pick Mike every single time.
the greatest athlete ever will always be debatable as all sports are different.

@@rhyocarlos2800 can’t deny it’s an interesting “what if” definitely. To your point, Jordan played with Worthy at North Carolina perfectly fine.
But in this alternate timeline, he might have not achieved the same feats as Phil Jackson likely never gets hired if he’s a deep playoff or even finals team under the former staffs. Jordan also wouldn’t have the green light to shoot 40 times for his first 5 seasons like he did between 85-90 before Pippen developed. I still think his game reached unimaginable heights from being the only option during that span.
This version of Jordan is better than LeBron
Man, just imagine if MJ had a good/great supporting cast and coach around him from the beginning of his career...

Damn! Jordan swept them😂😂😂
I know Portland still kick theirself in the ass for not picking Jordan LOL
Here's a thought🤔...to your point, for not picking KD also and they chose Greg the Egg Oden...Bcuz he cracked and the yolk was on them again 😂
The Curse of Sam Bowie
One of the greatest gifts of my lifetime ... Portland passing on Jordan.
I used to think that a team with Magic & Isaiah Thomas at the 1 & 2 would be insane until I saw this Smh. Silky smooth MJ was ahead of the pack before he even hit the league!
Magic is filthy bruh lol he would’ve cooked today.. probably would’ve been considered too flashy
Not yet in the NBA but they already know that mj will become one of the greatest..
Do y’all see the proficient play and skilled play in this game. This that epic special basketball here. Elite defense and fundamentals too. A treat🚫🧢yap
Young 🐐
bobby knight's coaching helps a lot in that shocking and humiliating 8-0 sweep. .
I love 80s Mike. When he was agile, and quick af!
This is what's missing in today's game. These men, even college players here, all understand zone concepts offensively and how to attack it with precision. How to make the right pass and get the right shot. The fundamentals are impeccable. Their IQ and physicality is off the charts. This game is more physical than any NBA game in 20+ years almost.
Holy crap, for whatever reason I never saw this game must have been outside playing, it was the 80's we played outside All Day Long!!!
8-0 sweep of NBA all stars ⭐️
6:21 he will sell some tickets
I guess he did
Turned out he sold ALL the tickets 😂
And make basketball a global game.
Where was Zeke during all the games lol I thought he said head to head he was dominant against Mike lol nope..he had all the help in the world..imagine if Perkins would have gone to the Bulls too.
2 GMs passed on this. He was the best player on the floor
Imagine if Ewing remained this athletic for a longer period...
What a great game 💯
The GOAT was born...
This is the time Pippen says Jordan was terrible.😉👍
They actually beat these guys for 8 straight games this summer… Isaiah Thomas was the most visibly frustrated trying to guard MJ. in fact this is the real starting point of their rivalry… Thomas knew he wanted to freeze the rookie out of that first all star game because he already knew he was the best in the game before day one…. Scary thought
Well said Neo, that’s when all the jealousy started from Isaiah Thomas
4:36 omg MJ only weakness is has no weakness 😁 he is simply God
He's human, he might be the greatest to ever play but he's not God
@@Patriot2332 Right, there out here idolizing him cause he can play Basketball, smh.
@@joseanthompson9069 I love MJ he's my favorite player but he's a just a man
Alex English being left off of the 75th NBA anniversary team is almost criminal. English was the NBA's leading scorer for the 80's decade.
The analyst Billy Packer called it. He seen in MJ then what MJ became, the GOAT.
The all stars was suppose to give MJ some reality check but look how he make the table turns
the great Billy packer was so prophetic in his analysis of the young future micheal jordan... he rose above all expectations... 100% usda approved, pure GOAT...
He touched the Ether. We saw it, see it, to this day. No offense to anyone else. He did it. Facts.
That wasn't just NBA All Stars they beat. When you think about it, that would've been the 'Dream Team' of that time, combined East-West players.
Jordan was best PLAYER in NBA in his 1st yr. Magic, Bird, Isiah had better teams but Michael Jordan was the best Individual Player in the NBA AS A ROOKIE
7:09 that shot of rookie Jordan against NBA players is simply craaaaazy!!
Billy Packer "aka Nostradamus" called it! He sold more than just tickets too!
I remember seeing MJ in college and then his coming out party with the Olympics and K knew he was going to be great.
This was just a sample of the gift that Jordan has.april2022.
