Ainge said the Celtics didn't realize how good Jordan was until he scored 63 on them in '86. Pretty weird considering the fact that he was already destroying teams his rookie year.
Clearly even at this beginning novice rookie level, Jordan was still so much better than everybody else in the league. He came in the league nearly complete, he had it all, physically and mentally, plus loads of amazing potential. He makes these guys look like high school. Simply the Greatest to ever do it.
I remember going to a few games early on in his career. All I had to say was wow! He was by far and away the best player on the court ... even early on it was so obvious. That lineup for the Celtics was ridiculous. Loved seeing this video ... I had forgotten how good those Celtics teams were.
Jordan's got 33 Mmm Mmm Mmm!!! What's New! Check out Birds expression every time Jordan scores a basket..it's like he saying...."not this guy again..he's damn good"
I take Bird over Lebron 10 out of 10 times. All day every day.
Jordan didn't have a good team, that's why he didn't win a Championships in the 80s,Put Jordan on the Celtics he would've won in the 80s

What kind of rookie is this? For goodness sake
this was really impressive because a rookie MJ beat the current champion of 5 allstars in his first year with a team of scrumbs
This guy has so mutch potential, To bad he broke his foot the next season and was never the same again.
In todays era Jordan and Bird would team up and make grown men cry all game long.
You simply can't train to reach this level, you have to born with it. MJ is the GOAT.
Inferior team beating the BEST team in the NBA

Wow! MJ was everywhere in that court, totally in another level of play and class of his own!
Michael was going off in this game.
that was great christmas present. I love seeing old jordan and larrybird game. Larry's jumper was sick
Look at the stiffs Jordan was forced to play with early on! He is almost solely responsible for dragging the Bulls from the outhouse to the penthouse.
GOAT.period.
Simply best.
Bird was also awesome with his clutch points!
