My long awaited follow up to Artistry Part 1 continues the singular and mesmerizing display of athletic art by the Master. This is how you amass a record 10 scoring titles at 30.1ppg and 50% as a perimeter. Clyde Drexler's timeless quote after meeting MJ in the 1992 Finals comes to mind here: "I used to think MJ had 2000 moves. I was wrong - he has 3000."
I also like this quote from SLAM's Top 50 Players issue from 6/2009 on MJ:
"...the masterpiece, it has all eyes in the room on it while it plays, and shows timeless resiliency afterward, increasing in beauty, value and fame long after the artist is gone. Jordan is that masterpiece."
This was a tough project for me because for a long time, I didn't have a vision on how to approach it. When it finally clicked, the biggest hurdle was putting forth the time and energy to get the vision from my mind onto paper - or should I say WMV file. But I think it worked out ok here. So, thanks to all those who whipped me into shape and pushed and badgered me to get to work and finish this. In the end, I was just as excited in getting it done as anyone out there and I hope it was worth the wait. And while 95% of the footage here is from my collection, the 5% I 'borrowed' to make this work means thanks to all the other uploaders out there with tons of footage. You know who you are and keep up the great work.

Michael Jordan is simultaneously the greatest scoring guard and the greatest defensive guard in NBA history. Look it up.
One other thing. MJ played in an era where you got beat up going to the basket. LBJ is much more protected. He doesn't face the Bad Boys of Detroit, The Davis's of Indiana or the Ewing, Oakley, Mason combo in NY. They were all mean players who wouldn't think twice about hammering you if you dared attack the hoop.
Kobe has tried to immitate MJ's moves,and he actually does a decent job of it. But if you have watched mj's entire career, kobe looks like a living copyright infringement to you
He can replicate some of mj's moves,but the true astonishing stuff you saw MJ do,are nowhere to be found.Not just from kobe, but anyone on this league now.
The league is -imho- a joke now.All these rules have made it a dunk fest...back in those days,the center era,there was a tree waiting for u, u had to earn your dunk
Hoopsencyclopedia will go down as the original....,
Ill watch grainy Jordan footage over HD Lebron any day.
Wjen are people going to stop comparing a SG and a PF? Jordan and Bron two different styles. Two different positions. Two different NBA storylines. Both great. But Jordan was the 1st supremely skilled baller of the video footage era.
Jordan's double/triple clutches in the air were just crazy.
Thanks for the video! Just showed this to a coworker at work and it settled the MJ vs LeBron argument. LeBron is the second best ever but much of what he does is because he is just physically stronger than the people he dominates (like Shaq). MJ does his work against taller defenders and 2,3, or 4 players at a time. LBJ is a great, great, player but he simply can't do the things MJ does in this video. Thanks again!!!
Jordan was an assassin and he demoralized his opponents. His level has never been achieved before and after him.
Yes, MJ was an alien. Look how he palmed the ball and moved it around with one hand...even grabbing a rebound like catching a baseball.
kobe isn't even close to MJ, especially in the artistry department.... in my opinion as well as most people who have watched MJ and his carreer as well as Kobe's. MJ and the NBA of those days simply does not compare.
I could watch Jordan highlights all day and never get bored.
YEAP
Jordan's imagination makes Einstein question his own
mj was the perfect player best ever just that simple Lebron Kobe magic bird Kareem Hakeem shaq Duncan is great but Jordan is number 1 forever unless someone come average 40 pts 15 reb 15 ast a game over a career dead serious
I like how you set the standard for statistically impossible career average but let's be honest here Jordan's footage demands that sort of stat.
im not a lebron fan but watch his game over celtics ECF 2012 his on a serious dead career of he lose on that game bruh
@melubbkeige
"The only one who can be compared to me is Kobe Bryant."
When MJ said that, he was referring to "work ethic".
That comment is ALWAYS taken outta context..SMH
Love the techno-electronica as well. Nice
Having seen that then I have to ask: Who is Lebron and Kobe?
denooraM I'm a fan of neither but I'd have to pick LeBron over Kobe.
denooraM two wanna be jordan
The master of masters, the boss of bosses. I must say of all the ways to express oneself on earth, from the very beginning of time to this very day, Basketball is by far one of the most craftiest crafts a human can take part in, and Mike was the absolute greatest. Me and my grandmother watched the entire game he hit 55 on ny in the #45 jersey. All 55 pts, and the pass to bill winnington. Just me and her. Thank u mike. RIP grandma.
JayPleezer304 most beautiful comment
I love your comment. Read it many times and you are absolutely right about Mike and the way you can express yourself by playing Basketball. One of my all time favourite videos.
lebron cant come close long live jordan
So smooth and fluid. Addictive to watch. Jordan was truly on a whole new level of talent, not seen since and there’s a good chance won’t be again. Like if there was literally another level up after the NBA. That’s how he played
Hes got balls to go into the paint like that with so many players and still find a way to score. The players now avoid the crowded paint unless it's open because they are afraid of injuries, except for derrick rose, but look what happen he is injure now lol.
Wow...Everything you said hit the mark. Sadly I didn't get into basketball until the Kobe Era. Wish I could of watch MJ play instead of watching highlights.
Yeah it's the NBA is a bitch league now where Defenders would rather stick a foot under you in an attempt to take you out of the game then to try digging in and playing real defense!
This is just ridiculous, kyrie irving might be the craftiest player right now this makes his skills look elementary lol, like 30 years prior too... He set such a standard skill wise todays players haven't even reached kobe might've gotten the closest.
This is the type of footage that the 90s children need to see.
mixinmeow I born in 92 and I'm just shocked and realized i was tripping about mi during my whole life
kobe isnt as athletic
the best michael jordan video with the best music THX a lot
wtf he actually did take off on the free throw line O_O 0:24
One of 2 of the best jordan highlight videos ever. A lot of non-everyday jordan highlights you don't see often at all. Spectacular, unstoppable....simply jordan
Nikolai Francis hoops put it down! i cant believe its been over 10 yrs! Hoops use the right music tracks in sequence with the right highlights. much thanks to hoopsencyclopedia!!
The difference between Jordan and Lebron is you can’t double team Lebron because of his playmaking ability..While with Jordan it really didn’t matter what defensive package you threw at him he was still averaging 30 in his prime.
How could someone reach such a level
shaquill williams people don't realize. Mj literally put so much effort into basketball that he understood things in a different way when it comes to basketball. He understood physics at a different level then these other players. Because of pushing himself, he literally played at a different level.
What I'm trying to say is, mj like unknowingly deeply meditated about basketball. Only other player that I think had this same understanding was bird.
Man!! I can only imagine watching the MASTER in HD!!
Lebron could never compare to anything MJ does
Yeah great quote. It's from SI's 12/10/84 issue. The whole thing goes:
"Move with him, and he'll outjump you. "Larry Nance jumps well off one foot and Woolridge off two," says the Bulls' Rod Higgins. "Michael jumps well off one or two."
Jump with him and he'll outhang you. "He has more hang time than Ray Guy," says assistant coach Fred Carter.
Hang with him and he'll out-body control you. "He's not human," says Spain's Olympic Coach. "He's a rubber man."
(cont.)
I bet he would of set world records in long jumps the dude glydes. goat
I love this. Watch it a few times each year for like 5 years at least. Great work Hoopsencylopedia
Mr hoops encyclopedia I have to say. I really enjoyed your artistry Of Michael Jordan part 1 & 2. He’s my favorite player of all time. I loved how you put those videos together really well. I’ve been watching part 1 for years now. Ever since I was in high school. Keep doing what you doing bro. Hopefully when you get a chance. Make a artistry of Dwayne wade too. He’s my second favorite basketball player of all time. 🤙🏾🔥
still come back to this video after all these years. truly a work of art you did here sir!
I'll tell you how he became this great, Dean Smith said during an article in sports illustrated that Jordan was the hardest working player he ever had, Jordan took his 4.6 40 yard dash down to a 4.3, he increased his vertical from a 42" vertical to a 48" vertical, he constantly added to his skill-set, and he was always the most well conditioned athlete in the NBA. He became the greatest ever with the heart of a lion, the determination of a warrior, and the focus of a robot.
the best there ever was the best there ever will be
i knew that in 1982.. i had an epiphany in 1982 that mike jordan would become the greatest!
@@PowerGearPerformance nice bullshit story you got there
Kobe who?
Jhony Be Good i laugh when people say kobe is the mps skillest player ever lol.. not even close to mikel
lol better and all them combined dont have the rings he has or awards this men has.And Jordan never had to join magic or bird to get his.He never said ill do this and not do it like the clown LB. How are you better when these guys are all missing something in there games (lebron and rose constant shot) (wade being there every night) (howared soft in the paint even shaq said it) (Durant needs a post game) Oh who had all this and more MJ enuff said.
Stopped by in 2022 to say I'm still watching this vid 12 yrs later! The vid is amazing, just wish it was clearer, but this track by Lawrence is phenomenal, and a perfect compliment to the fluidity of Jordan's Aerial Artistry!
Lord Have Mercy,i mean the first one was sick and i thought hmmm how could Hoops possibly top this.....but you did
I am an avid sports fan. In all my life I enjoyed some of the most amazing sports figures of all times. All of them gave me the impression that they were the absolute best a lot of times during their careers. But there were also times where they didnt quite much the hype they built up for themselves.
But only one, ONE individual sports figure was always above the hype, always the dominant force by which everything was measured.
And that was Michael Jordan. He was the undisputed KING. 6 for 6.
missing u so much!!90's= jordan!
masterpiece
One of the best comments I've read regarding MJ comparisons. Yes some (10%)of his moves can be copied but unless someone's blind some moves on this highlight video has never been seen since MJ did them.
how can anyone say hes not the goat
Besides being the best At every aspect on the court he was the best at using his pivot foot
Not a single player today can do some of those moves
The greatest there ever WILL be!!! Amazing video!
My all time favorite MJ mix, 15 years and counting
the guy is an artist....
I've watched the video 5 times now and I've come to another conclusion, UA-cam needs a "slow motion" button.
I knew Jordan was the greatest show on earth but i never realized how great he was until now.
I told everyone that would listen that he would be THIS GOOD . Watched him at unc improved every facet of his game , to where no one human could stop him. Most dominating force to eve play the game, and was equally as good defensively . Some of us DID see this coming, the unc family saw it . He would make an absolute mockery of these rules in the nba today, it wouldn't be fair what he would do.
Thanks again. I go through phases so at times, I am energized to put my mind to work. Plus, there are so many good uploaders out there that I'm enjoying their ride as well. The past year was bogged by computer slowdowns, new jobs and GFs and such. I think now that I'm getting some new equipment, I should be getting Part 3 out sooner than this one as well as getting better quality files all in HD.
This is the greatest sports video I have ever seen. Thanks for making this man.
the best jordan-mix of youtube ever.I think
One of the greatest vids i have ever seen. Dont think too many other athletes can compare when it comes to being truly ahead of their time.
Jordan highlights are so awesome, they're tolerable in non-HD. He was that good! He transcended clarity. Lol. As an undersized player in the post, he was an absolute contortionist in getting his shots off. His freakish wingspan and monstrous hands helped too.
This is something Broon will never touch. MJ's game was lovely to watch. Bron is pretty boring other than the chasedown blocks.
any words can explain Michael Jordan the best player ever, never seen another like him
3:51 is like a glitch in the matrix. Ive never seen anyone do that so smoothly, one handed catch transition to a jumper.....
One thing you miss when you are too young to have seen Jordan is how clutch he was in critical games ... and in the face of defenses that were much tougher than today as a result of the rule changes. I think Detroit would be permanently expelled from the NBA if they pulled that stuff today. "The Jordan Rules", etc. Kobe is clutch no doubt but I saw some interesting analysis. Career game winning/tying shots within 24secs end of game: Kobe 7/25 (28%) - Jordan 9/18 (50%)
Thanks. I will definitely be working on Part 3 in the future - quicker than this one I'm sure. I'll be gathering some rare stuff and upgrading my editing software as well in the meantime. Until then, I'll do some game edits of course.
Now why in the world would we mention footwork? Oh, I don't know, I thought we were discussion creativity and the lack of similarities between the two players. Jordan out-muscled guys who weighed 30 lbs more than him, with ease. By the way, I don't care who Kobe said would win a dunk contest, Vince Carter's dunks in that dunk contest had virtually no distance when pertains to hang time. They were all short distance dunks. Vince Carter's creativity in the air were mere flashes of brilliance.
Unlike you, I'm a basketball freak who's probably seen 3 times as many games as you have. Vince Carter NEVER waved that basketball around like it was a grapefruit or snatched the ball out of mid-air on rebounds like it was a softball. Jordan's hands were "million dollar hands" - Phil Jackson. I guess you've never seen Jordan's superman style windmill dunk where he does a sideways two footed gather and floats for about 5 feet in the air while palming the ball in a complete sideways windmill.
Again, you make no sense and should stick to watching highlight videos and playing video games. Vince Carter had smaller hands than Jordan, Vince was more of a two foot gather jumper than Jordan, Jordan was more explosive off one foot (either one), Vince's abilities off the dribble to create opportunities around the rim to create aren't even close, Vince as strong as Jordan pound for pound? Are you serious? Grace? Go back to watching Vince Carter windmills and dunk contest highlights.
OK, so pulling off moves a few times puts someone on Jordan's level for creativity or even close? Give me a break man. As I said, Jordan did this night in and night out. Congratulations though you were the first youtube user in the comments of this video to over-rate some of today's players. Good job. I'm sure you lived here in Chicago like me and watched all of Jordan's games and your true understanding of what being Jordan-like night in and night out is probably better than my understanding.
Do you even know what a tomahawk dunk is? Jordan clearly did a full circle on that dunk, and Jordan did a full circle on the "kiss the rim" dunks. He did kiss the rim windmill dunks on breakaways. How many rock the cradle dunks did Vince do?
(I knew this goof would break it down to dunk contest dunks and windmills)
If we are talking about best in-game dunkers as far as impressiveness goes, I would go with Dominique, Jordan, Kemp, Vince, Clyde, and LeBron. As far as creativity in game, Vince and Jordan stand apart. The problem with Vince is the fact that his creative in-game dunks didn't last very long because his ability to stay athletic isn't even comparable to Jordan. Not even close.
He claims that Vince Carter was as athletic and creative as Jordan, yet I see Vince Carter lumbering around the floor, at his age, and his 32" vertical is unimpressive now-a-days, he jumps up in the air and drops like a rock. Jordan at this age was still flying around. Hell, Jordan during the Wizards years was still more athletic than Vince is at this age.
Great comments - thanks. I'd add that KB's aggressiveness, floor skills and midrange offense are where he is closest to MJ in my opinion. The biggest differences at this point are genetic however - MJ's hand size, explosiveness and athleticism are hard to practice for anyone.
Vídeo excelso." nunca había visto tantas jugadas de M.J. .en suspensión de ahí que le apodaran Air Jordan !! Gracias por subir tan awesome video.
You really should go to 82 games's website and look at the real numbers when it pertains to Kobe's clutch abilities. Kobe's abilities in the clutch is the most overrated aspect to his game.
I think the reason MJ was such a great player was because of his offensive awareness. He knew not only where everyone was on the floor at all times, but he reacted instinctively to them to the point where he could reposition his body in reaction to anything WHILE he is airborne.
Among those you mentioned, I like Durant plays cause he is closer to MJ's playing styles.
Great stuff Zo. Thanks. When you revisit those numbers, it's incredible how 'unclose' things really are.
Michael Air Jordan the hands down greatest basketball player of all time, enough said!
He has such mitts for hands. I wish that my hands were that big.
Thanks. You are the most entertaining poster/uploader I'd say by the way.
its unfair what he can do in the air ... !!!
Fantástico: Jordan!
0:26 he took off from behind the FT circle, pump it and dunk it.
GOAT
8:44 was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Poor dude got faked out so badly he just ran and defended someone else.
And Lebron is better than who??
This should be required viewing for all basketball fans.
Thank You Hoops...Love it!
Michael Jordan le plus grand joueur de tous les temps!!!!!!!!
@hangtime23ful - I think those that believe Kobe is better are 1) die-hard Laker fanboys, and/or (more likely) too young to remember when Jordan came into the league. Sorry, there is no comparison. The only comparison that can be made is that Kobe reminds one of Jordan ... he has the same playing style. I can't think of a single argument where Kobe is better. Even the 3p% argument - MJ was a better 3P shooter later in his career than Kobe ever was (MJ was a terrible 3p shooter early on).
Larry Nance unathletic? He was the winner of the dunk contest in 84' and a great shot blocker not to mention a good midrange shooter and post player. Ewing not athletic? Being athletic doesnt mean throwing down windmills. The funny thing is that all of these players, while not being as athletic as Kemp were fundamentally much better players especially in the post. Barkley doesnt have to answer to Artest hes one of only four players with 20000 pts, 10000 rebs and 4000 assists what has Ron done?
@hoopfan71
when you said "The one thing Kobe has is very good range and the ability to hit deep off-balance shots. However, with those kinds of shots comes the price of some loss of accuracy, which has hurt the Lakers at times" clearly states that MJ is indeed the better shooter coz MJ can hit those shots that you said Kobe couldn't and get this ... with better accuracy!

This video really proves how much better than everyone he was...And if he were to play with the guys in the league now then i still think he would stand out as the best. The combination of quickness, speed, Intelligence, vision, athletic ability, and Awareness make this man the perfect basketball player.
Cool track
Pause it at 0:51. HOLY SHIT!!! I always knew MJ hands were ridiculously big, everyone talked about it but you never really see just how big when he is holding the ball. But on that image his hand is just smothering the ball. Looks like an eclipse with MJs hand being the moon! Absolutely in awe!
After hard day, at night, there is nothing better than make a joy, sit on my sofa and see Michael Jordan games.
I couldn't have typed it out better myself. Great post!
MJ is the most athletic and skilled player I've ever seen ... on both ends of the floor. The combination of skill and athleticism on both ends is what makes him so great. No other player in history has reached that level yet consistently.
Unbelievable video that is a credit to the countless hours I'm sure Hoops has spent on this. I've watched it over a dozen times already. There will never be another MJ. Thanks a million, Hoops. Btw, what's the name of the music track on here?
i love the music, it really enhances that awe-inspired feeling when watching MJ play
