MJ the GOAT has been recognized for decades. The legend will be told. Doesn't matter the era. You either wanted to emulate him, you were in awe of him, you feared him or you wanted to take him down because you knew you couldn't handle him. He came, he saw, he conquered.
Even though he has amazing numbers done with style, it was his mind-set and killer instinct. No disrespect to Kobe (RIP), but mamba mentality < MJ competitive nature.
When your PEERS , Coaches TALK so HIGHLY about you , IN BOTH POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE , ... MAN you are a legend . MJ gave us memories will always cherish ... Love from KENYA
He even won the nba playoffs 6 times just to prepare for his role in space jam. Somebody had told mj that he couldn't become a co-actor to bugs bunny.and mj took that personal
Watching Kobe (sleep in peace) in his prime was by FAR the closest I've ever felt to watching Jordan in his prime again. Mike was truly on another level - by HIMSELF.
I also get sad when I think of Kobe RIP but I'm try and think of him in his good life from now on - I still can't believe mamba gone , he's sorely missed
I see what you mean but I just cant accept it. The fact that an MJ rookie had the same numbers as a MVP Kobe Bryant just shows how much more ahead MJ truly was.

The Bulls became a NBA franchise in 1966, I was 13 at the time and jumping for joy we finally had an NBA team. So Ive seen all the Bull teams thru the ages. I was blessed and fortunate to witness the Bulls dynasty.

I remember that segment on Inside The NBA. And if Shaq can confess that at 7'1-300 lbs. he was terrified of playing against Jordan, then that is saying alot.
@@DILLICANAre you serious? Unlike you, the best players in the world take pride in their skills and wouldn't want someone to embarrass them on the court.
@@DILLICAN That’s because you haven’t faced anyone so great that they made you look bad nor was it someone who consistently dashed your championship hopes. There are levels to it.
The more I watch and hear stories about Michael Jordan, the more I question why would anybody in their right mind even dare compare lebron james to him. Smdh.
Cuz people only focus win he won rings but talk Abt James whole career Including win he loss think abt this lbj got 27 first place votes for dpoy but gave it to a guy who had just 7 votes why u think that is
Or how Abt this Jordan before pippen developed n got Phil never sniffed a final yet lebron with a bunch of nobodies by age 24 was in the finals go look at that 2007 team LeBron first 7 yrs was wasted by a team not willing to make the team actually better around him....wen Kobe wanted to be traded they got him pau got him Dwight almost cp3 Steve nash.
MJ 13-0 vs MJ all time yet Bron who beat Denver to make it to a finals yet 4 yrs late he loses 11 times n a row n people some how r flabbergasted why why wen MJ came back to play with wizard yrs gets a passed for looking like airball Jordan yet gets a pass

I grew up watching him but saw him play in person just once. That one time happened to be his last triple double. One of the coolest things I've eve seen.

I never saw him played I never had his shoes but I ran into his wrath in 1996 in Atlanta I stood outside the omni center with a sign that said Jordan stinks pour g out a Jordan cologne bottle with his number on it. That night Jordan scored 46 on the hawk's. The next day in the news paper and at work headlines said fan gets a wiff of Jordan's revenge and he was fanning himself I was holding the sign on a split page I was blamed for the hawk's lost

My Favorite MJ story is the 2 3-Peats! I grew up watching MJ play, his 1st retirement happened when I was 16. I graduated HS in 94 and he came back at the end of the 94-95 season. The whole city followed his insane workout routine with the team after that Loss to the Magic in the come back playoffs. When that 95-96 season started MJ was a Man on a Mission! I am forever grateful for the Greatness I got to witness that and the next 2 seasons! I will forever be grateful that I got to witness MJs entire career!
I graduated HS in 94’ as well. To this day, I can count on 1 hand(literally)how many NBA games I’ve watched since his last championship in the 98’ season. Once he left Chicago, basketball just wasn’t anywhere nearly as exciting as it was when MJ played. I am from NY but would watch any and every game they televised of the Bulls. And there were many bc it was friggin Michael Jordan. Lol. Best to EVER do it. Point. Period. Blank
2 3 PEATS is insane. I grew up in Chi Town, I've witnessed every Chicago Team win a World Title., from the Bulls 6 Titles, and while the Blackhawks have Won 6 Stanley Cups, I only remember 3 of those 6, 2010, 2013, and 2015. They also won in 1933, and 1937, they owned the Cup in 1961, for which I don't remember because I was 8 years old being born in 1953. The 2005 White Soxs and 2016 Cubs have World Series titles, the "85"- "86" Chicago Bears were Super Bowl Champions. The Chicago Sky of the WNBA won their title in 2021
I knew all of these, but aren’t tired of watching over and over again and read 13 different books about him over and over again 🐐 he’s just exceptional his IQ and physical levels in the game of basketball was just way above beyond 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
MJ retired as scoring champ and then came back as scoring champ. He typically plays 80 games per season his entire career. He would no doubt have 5000 more points otherwise. He also actually attended 3 years in college or he would have another 5000 points no doubt. Lebron just played longer. MJ played less not because he was washed up. He was not washed up in 1993. He proved it when he came back to win mvp, 1st team all defense, scoring champ, all star mvp, nba champ and finals mvp.
No need to put it like that, just look at his ppg and that is much more meaningful stat than total scored which is more of a longevity stat. Also, his stint as a Wizard reduced his career ppg because of that knee injury he suffered.
Let's not forget that MJ didn't shoot as much 3's as LeSrom. 3 years more in college, 2 seasons at 1st retirement, 3 seasons of 2nd retirement... Michael Jordan would outscore current NBA record for some 9k if he shoot lot of 3's like today and didn't have such long breaks.
Wow what a GREAT documentary! Thank God people gave Up on comparing LeBron James to Michael Jordan! There's no way to compare! I say there's no way to compare! Stop comparing cuz there's no way to compare LJ to MJ! Great Documentary!

The magic of Jordan was in his grace. He never publicly said that he thought he was the best and he never cheated the game(the fans). He never ever heaped praise upon himself. He let everybody else do it
I'm glad i had the pleasure of watching MJ play ball from college on to the pros. He's poetry in motion and you'll never see another player hang in the air as long as MJ and it was MAGNIFICENT!
MJ was the best in the era that he came in that he demoralized all of his competition and is still the only player to have the scoring champion and the defensive player of the year in the same YEAR!!!

Michael Jordan's creativity and scoring prowess on the basketball court are indeed legendary. He had a unique ability to adapt his game, find new ways to score, and consistently outmaneuver his defenders, making him a once-in-a-lifetime player. Here are a few aspects that highlight his unparalleled ingenuity and skill: 1. Unmatched Athleticism and Hang Time Jordan's ability to hang in the air longer than his defenders gave him a significant advantage. His acrobatic layups, dunks, and mid-air adjustments were not only effective but also mesmerizing to watch. 2. Signature Moves Jordan had several signature moves that became iconic: The fade-away Jump Shot: A nearly unblockable shot due to his elevation and the angle at which he released the ball. The Pump Fake: He often used a pump fake to get defenders in the air, then either drew a foul or took an open shot. The Crossover Dribble: His quick and deceptive crossover left many defenders off-balance. 3. Clutch Performances Jordan was known for his ability to perform under pressure. His game-winning shots, like "The Shot" over Craig Ehlo and the last-second jumper in Game 6 of the 1998 NBA Finals against the Utah Jazz, are etched in basketball history. 4. Versatility and Adaptability Jordan continuously evolved his game. Early in his career, he relied heavily on his athleticism and drives to the basket. As he aged, he developed a more refined post-game, often backing down defenders and using fade-aways and turnarounds. 5. Mind Games and Psychological Edge MJ was a master of psychological warfare, often intimidating his opponents and getting into their heads. This mental edge, combined with his physical skills, made him nearly unbeatable. 6. Highlights and Lesser-Known Moves While many of Jordan's famous plays are well-documented, there are countless moments in his career where his creativity shone through in ways that may not have been captured extensively. From split-second decisions on the court to subtle maneuvers that threw off defenders, his full repertoire included moves that are rarely seen even today. 7. Training and Work Ethic Jordan's dedication to his craft was unparalleled. His rigorous training routines, relentless practice, and commitment to improving every aspect of his game ensured that he was always at the top of his form. To see more of Jordan's extraordinary plays, many compilations and highlight reels are available on platforms like UA-cam. Additionally, documentaries such as "The Last Dance" provide deeper insights into his career, mindset, and the context behind some of his most memorable moments on the court. For those who grew up watching Jordan, his impact on the game and his unique style of play remain unmatched. While there are many talented players in the NBA today, Michael Jordan's blend of athleticism, creativity, and competitive spirit set a standard that continues to inspire and awe basketball fans around the world. FACT: Jordan's career, especially his retirement and return, exemplifies the profound connection between sports and economics. His influence on Wall Street highlights the broader economic impact of superstar athletes and the interconnectedness of sports and financial markets. Now... I REST MY CASE!!

I know MJ hates being called the GOAT, but to me he's the greatest to ever play the game. Right behind him is Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. There are very few players who can say they changed the NBA, there are only 3 who can say they changed the game in the greatest and toughest era of the NBA. The players of todays NBA cant compare the the players of the 80s and 90s. LeBron is a great player and has enormous stats but he did in a soft, watered down league. He didn't have to face tough hardcore physical defense. If he played against a prime shaq under 80s and 90s rules he would have hit the floor a lot, or he wouldn't have drove to the hole at all. Jordan went through hell to get his first championship, the bad boys Pistons were no joke and Rodman admitted they were trying to hurt him. There's no comparison!!
@makkmulla3647 I'm guessing Wilt, MJ, Curry. Bird and Magic made the game exciting but they didn't actually change it. Magic was my dude until MJ showed up!
You could say MJ won in a watered down league due to expansion and the nba changing the rules to fit Jordan’s game because they wanted more jordan dunks etc which makes the NBA more money .
That last story when he was 50. That's one of the best stories cuz he's an old man, cigar smokin, whiskey drinking, 10 yrs from the game and still better than prime time pros.

I think it was game 1 of the '91 Finals Bulls vs. Lakers, torch passing from Johnson to Jordan. I was at a summer Bible camp(shoutout Palmetto Bible Camp), watching it on a little 13" black & white tv in the cafeteria. Jordan takes the ball to the paint like he's going to dunk it but switches in mid-air to his left hand for a layup(he totally could have crashed that dunk home). The announcers were going crazy, it was spectacular but I remember thinking, "That's Mike, that's what he does". It was really something special to be able to grow up watching Michael Jordan play basketball. The 1992 Olympic Dream Team will never be matched.
I grew up in the 80' and 90's and there will never be another as good as Jordan and you will never change my mind. I'm not much for celebrities but Jordan is the only one I wish I could meet. He's the greatest athlete.
Suspect outside shot? He led the ACC in 3-point shooting his last collegiate year. He won the 1982 National Championship with...A JUMP SHOT! Tells you all you need to know about scouts.
They said the same crap about Magic when he came into the NBA. Can't shoot the outside shot...blah, blah blah. It's called development w/practice, drive and determination morons.
imagine 20 years after you retire ... someone makes almost 1 hour video about your savage stories from the times you've played. That's a legacy GOAT status. I wonder who would do that for LeJames in 2104.

Jordan is on another level than any type of newer player. LeFlop couldn't even handle his shadow. People who call themselves the greatest.......are pathetic. Jordan knew that. He truly was the greatest basketball player of all time.

I highly doubt that he had to prove that to anyone. Unless of course they're blind. It's one thing for someone to go out of one's way to prove to whomever (as in show specifics in order to ?!?!?) then there is seeing someone in motion (as the proof is in the pudding) and understanding exactly what you're seeing......regardless of how irregular it is to you and *your vision. As I'm sure that back then, folk was all about needing to make someone prove this and that.
@@junglekutz5625 The proof is in the pudding, well if he didn’t win any rings, then there’s no proof. He knew to be the best you needed to win and that what he did. You can technically be the best and still not have the best career. MJ never backed down from any challenge either from a team or from another player. The pistons were literally beating his ass, he could have folded and accepted his fate. Instead he rose to the occasion and fought back. It’s not his physical abilities that make him the best, it’s his mindset. A warrior
To be the GREATEST is being able to display your supreme talent when called upon in the most needed time!! JORDAN DID THAT!! Lebron has failed to do that many times!!
If I recall correctly, just when he was getting into a groove playing baseball, (btw he would take so much batting practice that his hands would bleed ). baseball went on strike. That was the biggest reason he came back to basketball. Otherwise I have no doubt he would have secured a spot on the White Sox MLB roster. Especially considering that the media spent a lot of time making fun of him for deciding to play baseball. His minor league team loved and respected him as a baseball player. He even bought a new team bus for them to travel in. I watched his entire career beginning with his years at North Carolina and MJ is BY FAR the greatest I’ve ever seen.
That's crazy......folk were actually making fun of him for playing baseball?!?!?! Lololololololololololololol I swear, most folk are repulsively lame!!! What gets me is the fact that they believe that they mask their lameness well.
Hearing The Pistons talk about what they did to Jordan “Tried to Physically Hurt Him” Says a lot about how great of a player Jordan was! U will never get stories like this about Lebron!
Idk if I’ve ever even heard a good story about LeBron and I’m a die-hard Cleveland fan and LeBron has played 20 seasons…the ultimate sign of respect/fear stories from all his peers back in the day really tell you without even having to check stats, who the greatest of all time really is.
LBJs flopping, whining...and acting...these will be the stories of the future Younger gens will compare LBJ to young pros for who's better in flopping ang whining...maybe there will be some greatness LBJ had for 20+ years...but people will talk most of his loopholes...
👏👏👏.. Michael Jordan did for basketball what Bruce Lee did for the martial arts : they both took their respective pursuits to a whole new level that no one had ever imagined before. The N.B.A. franchises literally changed their entire approach to defense to adjust to the skill of M.J., and even *THAT* did not stop him..💪💪💪
Idk how anyone can even still be having the who’s the goat convo. If an athlete can inspire ALL people White black purple brown yellow pink, then he’s the goat. No one is more of an inspiration than Mike.
When we become adults - those of us that aren't dependent on pretending to be a version of ourselves at our jobs/retired or what have you - you can tell that Michael Jordan KNEW he could still be himself and didn't cave-in with a "personality" at the highest level which speaks to his character/belief in himself/confidence - it's motivating to ALL PEOPLE!

At my own age now of almost 45 years old. And MJ is years retired from NBA basketbal, and his glory years with the Chicago Bulls, in the 80's and 90's. I'am still a true fan of him. Because he is and there's now doubt about him, The Greatest Player there ever was and ever will be. And mark my words if there where no issues with General Manager Jerry Kraus at that time in 1998. For signing in again contracts for Jordan, Pippen and Rodman the years to come. Because Jerry Kraus wanted an other team for the Chicaga Bulls. Michael Jordan and this powerfull team, had at least won 2 more NBA champion chips. With 8 NBA titles on his name... You've got to see my closet it's full of MJ's stuff, T-shirt, Sweaters and also several pears of Jordans old and new ones. I still love this incredible man, as a person and a player at his time. No more then allot of respect. A true Fan. Greetings From Belgium! Yeahh even on the other side of the world in Europe Michael Jordan is still A LEGEND with his famous number 23! And again thanks MJ for those wonderfull years, of my childhood that i looked up to you, as an own basketball player with my team. 🙏💪🙌🏀
This was a very, very good documentary on MJ. It's very interesting to see how he's evolved through the decades I was in 3rd grade when I first saw him in the championship game. Back then the "chump" caused me to lose a $.25 bet😁😉. All due, to him hitting that shot, I couldn't STAND THE DUDE😄. Then living in Chicago, the sports legend was Walter Payton, primarily. MJ swiftly and eventually took over that mantle. I was heavily sports minded and very impressionable in those years. Moving on, MJ superseded whatever expectations there were. I completely agree with his accessment on the GOAT actualization. I got older buddies that speak very highly of those that came before him I will say though, that irregardless of the eras, he's certainly near the top of the GOAT list, if not the top. And, lastly, even though the current era of NBA ballers are freakish in nature, it has in my opinion lost something that I can't put a finger on. I can hardly watch. Bron is good, but, as good as he is, it's something he lacks. That's my opinion, who am I😉
There are so many players who skipped parts or all of college and come into the NBA relatively inexperienced and then a soft league that loves the crap around the game more than the game itself. It's just hard to watch after watching the NBA since 1965 when I was 9.
Facts, ones quality of evolution, speaks volumes of how they've invested themselves. He literally planted a seed that sprouted in ways that none of those players expected. What's great about his choice seeds, was how it affected those around him, while he played. Fans/those that adored him and his team mates. No one ain't worth your time, if nothing profound comes out of whatever union/connection.

Great video... thanks for sharing! It makes me sad that we are in this era when people want to try to bury his legacy... people who never saw him will never understand.
They say that players respect LeBron but never feared him. Players were in fear of MJ. Nobody wanted to piss him off because they KNEW that MJ would embarrass them and take his game to another level. But the biggest compliment to MJ is that ALL-STARS in his era and HOF players were and still are in awe of MJ's talent, competitiveness, work ethic, athleticism, stamina, desire, and sheer will to win. Hell, he's been retired over 20+ years and they're still talking about him like it was yesterday. MJ is not doing any talking, but everyone else is.
at 10:30, the announcer incorrectly states that Jordan won DPoY in 1998. He won it in 1988, showing his defensive dominance much earlier in his career.
Bron only got the size, longevity and stats (some). But MJ is different. We may see another Bron in the future, but we'll never see a player like MJ. His mentality is way out of this world
I won't even go with belittling an amazing 50 minutes to talk about comparisons, MJ will always be my hero especially in Space Jam as a kid while my dad and brothers went for him, I started watching NBA for serious for his 2nd half his career and it was amazing.
9:06 that stare down between him and Orlando said it all. It was O’s team before MJ walked into training camp as a rookie. Orlando, just like everybody else, did not believe the hype. That’s until they were left staring at the bottom of them Jordan 1’s after taking flight ✈️ . Orlando was very underrated and would be a beast in any era but when the bulls organization and coaching staff let MJ loose it was curtains for the NBA. The late great Dean Smith was the only person to hold MJ down under 20 ppg. When the bulls gave him the rock 🏀 and said there’s no zone defense in the league, he really showed them what he was working on behind closed doors in college. The one and only real GOAT 🐐 MJ.
You know how I know Mike J is the best of all time? When I hear debates about him and LeBron I don't even open my mouth cuz it's not even an argument I don't even feel the need to argue about it that's how you know
No one cant disagree with me but the 90s was the greatest decade for basketball its when it got really interested and 2nd place goes to the 2000s and 3rd is the 80s
Excellent point!!!! So obvious- but never heard this argument before. And MJ also brought NC a National Championship!! And: I don’t know his complete stats in the MLB, but I know he hit 1 home run for sure- Even one home run in the MLB in your “time off” from the NBA- Come on…. G.O.A.T. for sure all you haters!! Lol.
@@RealMoneyMarche would be a bench warmer. You don’t get to take LeBron now, and just throw him into the 80’s, and 90’s. You have to also subtract modern medicine, load management, and the PED’s he’s been allowed to take. LeBron would be 30 lbs less, and look horrible like he did when he had to take two weeks off in the beginning of his second stint in Cleveland. Had to get back on the juice. Also, he wouldn’t be able to build Superteams. If Phil had Bron we would have never known who Phil was, and he also would have never coached Shaq, and Kobe. Bron has no bag.
@@RKYJHAIRSTUDIOS LeBron has no bag is just comical I cant even take you serious after that one buddy 😂 another casual copying what people say 90s is Gahbage bro
@@RealMoneyMarc I copy nothing. I watched them both. There’s a reason it’s called the Golden Age. We can’t help that y’all soft as shit, and glorify a known quitter, flopper, and cheater who shoots 37% outside 3 feet, but what do y’all know? Y’all are confused on what a man, and woman is, so what would y’all know about basketball? Much less competition?
April 5th, 1996, Michael, and the Chicago Bulls visit the Charlotte Hornets. I look up at the scoreboard during the game and see the bulls leading the hornets 20 to 0, in the first half. Best start to a basketball game ever in my opinion. Never, ever piss off Michael.
I ain't never heard nobody say what BJ Armstrong just said about Michael Jordan. I have never heard nobody say that about no other player especially LeBron. This man was not sleeping or eating. That's insane. And you know that old catchphrase keep that same energy man. You just heard BJ Armstrong. Mike took that keep that same energy theory to a whole new level. I wonder what could he have done if he had a slept more but then again when you got it you just got it and boy did he have it
The things I like about Dr. J . He was always in a Suit and tie . And at times he was a Motivation to all . If love the game of basketball. ❤❤ You can just ask Michael Jordan.
That was an awesome video! I was so lucky to have lived as a young man when Michael hit the NBA. Only locked eyes with him once. He was driving away in a Ferrari. 🏀
This is the quintessential documentary of Michael Jordan’s greatness. LeBron’s self crowning followers will take a moment of silence. As stated, no one feared LeBron the way Jordan was feared.
MJ the GOAT has been recognized for decades. The legend will be told. Doesn't matter the era. You either wanted to emulate him, you were in awe of him, you feared him or you wanted to take him down because you knew you couldn't handle him. He came, he saw, he conquered.
This is why i dont even get to a debate, MJ is the 🐐
I never get tired of Michael Jordan stories. He is truly the Greatest Of All-Time.
Even though he has amazing numbers done with style, it was his mind-set and killer instinct. No disrespect to Kobe (RIP), but mamba mentality < MJ competitive nature.
Michael jJordan
nope mamba mentality goes beyond the court and kobe was much more competitive@@courtney5796
Naw LeBron is 🐐
Since Wilt that is. People over 60 know Wilt was the GOAT
When your PEERS , Coaches TALK so HIGHLY about you , IN BOTH POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE , ... MAN you are a legend . MJ gave us memories will always cherish ... Love from KENYA
Michael Jordan is like the Michael Jordan of basketball
You re like the jackasses of jackasses
🤣
He even won the nba playoffs 6 times just to prepare for his role in space jam. Somebody had told mj that he couldn't become a co-actor to bugs bunny.and mj took that personal
😂
Funny...
Watching Kobe (sleep in peace) in his prime was by FAR the closest I've ever felt to watching Jordan in his prime again. Mike was truly on another level - by HIMSELF.
Nah not Kobe. He mimicked MJ. But was more if a volume scorer AI tyoe.
I also get sad when I think of Kobe RIP but I'm try and think of him in his good life from now on - I still can't believe mamba gone , he's sorely missed
I see what you mean but I just cant accept it. The fact that an MJ rookie had the same numbers as a MVP Kobe Bryant just shows how much more ahead MJ truly was.
ALL BY HIMSELF

i can listen to the same MJ stories over and over again and never get tired of them.
The Bulls became a NBA franchise in 1966, I was 13 at the time and jumping for joy we finally had an NBA team. So Ive seen all the Bull teams thru the ages. I was blessed and fortunate to witness the Bulls dynasty.
Michael Jordan will always be the greatest the goat 🐐 period!!!!!!!!!

Shaq said he was terrified of MJ. Players respected Bron but nobody feared him. Mic drop 🎤 🐐
I remember that segment on Inside The NBA. And if Shaq can confess that at 7'1-300 lbs. he was terrified of playing against Jordan, then that is saying alot.
It's basketball what's to fear?
@@DILLICANAre you serious? Unlike you, the best players in the world take pride in their skills and wouldn't want someone to embarrass them on the court.
@@angelojuat4754 I respect players of skill, I don't fear them.
@@DILLICAN That’s because you haven’t faced anyone so great that they made you look bad nor was it someone who consistently dashed your championship hopes. There are levels to it.
The more I watch and hear stories about Michael Jordan, the more I question why would anybody in their right mind even dare compare lebron james to him. Smdh.
bro just shut up 😂😂😂
Cuz people only focus win he won rings but talk Abt James whole career Including win he loss think abt this lbj got 27 first place votes for dpoy but gave it to a guy who had just 7 votes why u think that is
Or how Abt this Jordan before pippen developed n got Phil never sniffed a final yet lebron with a bunch of nobodies by age 24 was in the finals go look at that 2007 team LeBron first 7 yrs was wasted by a team not willing to make the team actually better around him....wen Kobe wanted to be traded they got him pau got him Dwight almost cp3 Steve nash.
MJ never had to leave being on a team that made sure u had a chance to compete
MJ 13-0 vs MJ all time yet Bron who beat Denver to make it to a finals yet 4 yrs late he loses 11 times n a row n people some how r flabbergasted why why wen MJ came back to play with wizard yrs gets a passed for looking like airball Jordan yet gets a pass

I wasn't even a Bulls fan as a kid but I'd watch them because you knew MJ would probably do something great.
I grew up watching him but saw him play in person just once. That one time happened to be his last triple double. One of the coolest things I've eve seen.

I never saw him played I never had his shoes but I ran into his wrath in 1996 in Atlanta I stood outside the omni center with a sign that said Jordan stinks pour g out a Jordan cologne bottle with his number on it. That night Jordan scored 46 on the hawk's. The next day in the news paper and at work headlines said fan gets a wiff of Jordan's revenge and he was fanning himself I was holding the sign on a split page I was blamed for the hawk's lost
Jordan did in 13 years what LeBron will never do in the 45 years he's in the league 😂

Winning or losing MJ always give his best and getting better every day
My Favorite MJ story is the 2 3-Peats!
I grew up watching MJ play, his 1st retirement happened when I was 16.
I graduated HS in 94 and he came back at the end of the 94-95 season.
The whole city followed his insane workout routine with the team after that Loss to the Magic in the come back playoffs. When that 95-96 season started MJ was a Man on a Mission! I am forever grateful for the Greatness I got to witness that and the next 2 seasons!
I will forever be grateful that I got to witness MJs entire career!
Indeed!! Very fortunate to witness this guy terrorize great players.
I graduated HS in 94’ as well. To this day, I can count on 1 hand(literally)how many NBA games I’ve watched since his last championship in the 98’ season. Once he left Chicago, basketball just wasn’t anywhere nearly as exciting as it was when MJ played. I am from NY but would watch any and every game they televised of the Bulls. And there were many bc it was friggin Michael Jordan. Lol. Best to EVER do it. Point. Period. Blank
❤❤
2 3 PEATS is insane. I grew up in Chi Town, I've witnessed every Chicago Team win a World Title., from the Bulls 6 Titles, and while the Blackhawks have Won 6 Stanley Cups, I only remember 3 of those 6, 2010, 2013, and 2015. They also won in 1933, and 1937, they owned the Cup in 1961, for which I don't remember because I was 8 years old being born in 1953. The 2005 White Soxs and 2016 Cubs have World Series titles, the "85"- "86" Chicago Bears were Super Bowl Champions. The Chicago Sky of the WNBA won their title in 2021
@@jimmydee935 You ain't never LIED, once Jordan left after The Last Dance season and title # 6 the glory faded into memories.😡
Fantastic documentary. Great job on digging up some things even life long fans had forgotten or never knew
I knew all of these, but aren’t tired of watching over and over again and read 13 different books about him over and over again 🐐 he’s just exceptional his IQ and physical levels in the game of basketball was just way above beyond 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
😂. Thank you.
Seriously Ty for that lethal comment. hardest Iv laughed in a while.
MJ retired as scoring champ and then came back as scoring champ. He typically plays 80 games per season his entire career. He would no doubt have 5000 more points otherwise.
He also actually attended 3 years in college or he would have another 5000 points no doubt. Lebron just played longer. MJ played less not because he was washed up. He was not washed up in 1993.
He proved it when he came back to win mvp, 1st team all defense, scoring champ, all star mvp, nba champ and finals mvp.
All of that right there!!!
No need to put it like that, just look at his ppg and that is much more meaningful stat than total scored which is more of a longevity stat.
Also, his stint as a Wizard reduced his career ppg because of that knee injury he suffered.
Lebum is the goat!!! The goat at losing😂
Let's not forget that MJ didn't shoot as much 3's as LeSrom.
3 years more in college, 2 seasons at 1st retirement, 3 seasons of 2nd retirement...
Michael Jordan would outscore current NBA record for some 9k if he shoot lot of 3's like today and didn't have such long breaks.
❤
Wow what a GREAT documentary! Thank God people gave Up on comparing LeBron James to Michael Jordan! There's no way to compare! I say there's no way to compare! Stop comparing cuz there's no way to compare LJ to MJ! Great Documentary!

The magic of Jordan was in his grace. He never publicly said that he thought he was the best and he never cheated the game(the fans). He never ever heaped praise upon himself. He let everybody else do it
I'm glad i had the pleasure of watching MJ play ball from college on to the pros. He's poetry in motion and you'll never see another player hang in the air as long as MJ and it was MAGNIFICENT!
MJ was the best in the era that he came in that he demoralized all of his competition and is still the only player to have the scoring champion and the defensive player of the year in the same YEAR!!!
What a mic drop!🎤💦

Michael Jordan's creativity and scoring prowess on the basketball court are indeed legendary. He had a unique ability to adapt his game, find new ways to score, and consistently outmaneuver his defenders, making him a once-in-a-lifetime player. Here are a few aspects that highlight his unparalleled ingenuity and skill:
1. Unmatched Athleticism and Hang Time
Jordan's ability to hang in the air longer than his defenders gave him a significant advantage. His acrobatic layups, dunks, and mid-air adjustments were not only effective but also mesmerizing to watch.
2. Signature Moves
Jordan had several signature moves that became iconic:
The fade-away Jump Shot: A nearly unblockable shot due to his elevation and the angle at which he released the ball.
The Pump Fake: He often used a pump fake to get defenders in the air, then either drew a foul or took an open shot.
The Crossover Dribble: His quick and deceptive crossover left many defenders off-balance.
3. Clutch Performances
Jordan was known for his ability to perform under pressure. His game-winning shots, like "The Shot" over Craig Ehlo and the last-second jumper in Game 6 of the 1998 NBA Finals against the Utah Jazz, are etched in basketball history.
4. Versatility and Adaptability
Jordan continuously evolved his game. Early in his career, he relied heavily on his athleticism and drives to the basket. As he aged, he developed a more refined post-game, often backing down defenders and using fade-aways and turnarounds.
5. Mind Games and Psychological Edge
MJ was a master of psychological warfare, often intimidating his opponents and getting into their heads. This mental edge, combined with his physical skills, made him nearly unbeatable.
6. Highlights and Lesser-Known Moves
While many of Jordan's famous plays are well-documented, there are countless moments in his career where his creativity shone through in ways that may not have been captured extensively. From split-second decisions on the court to subtle maneuvers that threw off defenders, his full repertoire included moves that are rarely seen even today.
7. Training and Work Ethic
Jordan's dedication to his craft was unparalleled. His rigorous training routines, relentless practice, and commitment to improving every aspect of his game ensured that he was always at the top of his form.
To see more of Jordan's extraordinary plays, many compilations and highlight reels are available on platforms like UA-cam. Additionally, documentaries such as "The Last Dance" provide deeper insights into his career, mindset, and the context behind some of his most memorable moments on the court.
For those who grew up watching Jordan, his impact on the game and his unique style of play remain unmatched. While there are many talented players in the NBA today, Michael Jordan's blend of athleticism, creativity, and competitive spirit set a standard that continues to inspire and awe basketball fans around the world.
FACT: Jordan's career, especially his retirement and return, exemplifies the profound connection between sports and economics. His influence on Wall Street highlights the broader economic impact of superstar athletes and the interconnectedness of sports and financial markets.
Now... I REST MY CASE!!
Man I’m so glad someone made a compilation of these stories lmfao

I know MJ hates being called the GOAT, but to me he's the greatest to ever play the game. Right behind him is Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. There are very few players who can say they changed the NBA, there are only 3 who can say they changed the game in the greatest and toughest era of the NBA.
The players of todays NBA cant compare the the players of the 80s and 90s. LeBron is a great player and has enormous stats but he did in a soft, watered down league.
He didn't have to face tough hardcore physical defense. If he played against a prime shaq under 80s and 90s rules he would have hit the floor a lot, or he wouldn't have drove to the hole at all.
Jordan went through hell to get his first championship, the bad boys Pistons were no joke and Rodman admitted they were trying to hurt him. There's no comparison!!
Who are you saying are the 3
@makkmulla3647 I'm guessing Wilt, MJ, Curry. Bird and Magic made the game exciting but they didn't actually change it. Magic was my dude until MJ showed up!
they took hand checking away and let offense travel all over the place.
Sad day for us die hard defenders.
You could say MJ won in a watered down league due to expansion and the nba changing the rules to fit Jordan’s game because they wanted more jordan dunks etc which makes the NBA more money .
@dannybird4996 EVERY star benefitted from the rule changes, not just one. Lebron played when rules were changed...and caught 6 L's...
That last story when he was 50. That's one of the best stories cuz he's an old man, cigar smokin, whiskey drinking, 10 yrs from the game and still better than prime time pros.

He's definitely in the top 5 of all time: Wilt/Kareem/Magic/ Bird
I think it was game 1 of the '91 Finals Bulls vs. Lakers, torch passing from Johnson to Jordan. I was at a summer Bible camp(shoutout Palmetto Bible Camp), watching it on a little 13" black & white tv in the cafeteria. Jordan takes the ball to the paint like he's going to dunk it but switches in mid-air to his left hand for a layup(he totally could have crashed that dunk home). The announcers were going crazy, it was spectacular but I remember thinking, "That's Mike, that's what he does".
It was really something special to be able to grow up watching Michael Jordan play basketball. The 1992 Olympic Dream Team will never be matched.
I grew up in the 80' and 90's and there will never be another as good as Jordan and you will never change my mind. I'm not much for celebrities but Jordan is the only one I wish I could meet. He's the greatest athlete.
Suspect outside shot? He led the ACC in 3-point shooting his last collegiate year. He won the 1982 National Championship with...A JUMP SHOT! Tells you all you need to know about scouts.
They said the same crap about Magic when he came into the NBA. Can't shoot the outside shot...blah, blah blah. It's called development w/practice, drive and determination morons.
They couldn’t leave the “weakness” box empty so they had to just roll with something 😂
Wat lebronze can't shoot gotta 3 ft away@@NostalgikOne
imagine 20 years after you retire ... someone makes almost 1 hour video about your savage stories from the times you've played. That's a legacy GOAT status. I wonder who would do that for LeJames in 2104.
You think Lebron will make it to 2084?
And most people doesn't know that MJ was born in Brooklyn

But moved to Wilmington, NC as a youngster. I saw play at Laney High School and then UNC Chapel Hill under Coach Dean Smith.
Jordan is on another level than any type of newer player. LeFlop couldn't even handle his shadow. People who call themselves the greatest.......are pathetic. Jordan knew that. He truly was the greatest basketball player of all time.

The thing with MJ was that he KNEW he was the best. But what defined him was that he also knew he had to prove it to everyone else.
He proved he was the best everyday and against all comers and conditions ............... Total Legend , His mindset really inspires
Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all.

I highly doubt that he had to prove that to anyone. Unless of course they're blind. It's one thing for someone to go out of one's way to prove to whomever (as in show specifics in order to ?!?!?) then there is seeing someone in motion (as the proof is in the pudding) and understanding exactly what you're seeing......regardless of how irregular it is to you and *your vision. As I'm sure that back then, folk was all about needing to make someone prove this and that.
Sho ya right
@@junglekutz5625 The proof is in the pudding, well if he didn’t win any rings, then there’s no proof. He knew to be the best you needed to win and that what he did. You can technically be the best and still not have the best career. MJ never backed down from any challenge either from a team or from another player. The pistons were literally beating his ass, he could have folded and accepted his fate. Instead he rose to the occasion and fought back. It’s not his physical abilities that make him the best, it’s his mindset. A warrior
We are a blessed generation of ppl to have witnessed such great athletes.
To be the GREATEST is being able to display your supreme talent when called upon in the most needed time!!
JORDAN DID THAT!!
Lebron has failed to do that many times!!
Thank you steven smith! Michael Jordan is thee best and greatest player who ever walked the face of this planet.
If I recall correctly, just when he was getting into a groove playing baseball, (btw he would take so much batting practice that his hands would bleed ). baseball went on strike. That was the biggest reason he came back to basketball. Otherwise I have no doubt he would have secured a spot on the White Sox MLB roster. Especially considering that the media spent a lot of time making fun of him for deciding to play baseball. His minor league team loved and respected him as a baseball player. He even bought a new team bus for them to travel in. I watched his entire career beginning with his years at North Carolina and MJ is BY FAR the greatest I’ve ever seen.
That's crazy......folk were actually making fun of him for playing baseball?!?!?! Lololololololololololololol I swear, most folk are repulsively lame!!! What gets me is the fact that they believe that they mask their lameness well.
He loves the game. And knew what he was doing. He was great.
The last one was the best. And the one with his son.
Hearing The Pistons talk about what they did to Jordan “Tried to Physically Hurt Him” Says a lot about how great of a player Jordan was!
U will never get stories like this about Lebron!
Never!! And never hear anything like MJ’s “flu” in the finals story!!!
Idk if I’ve ever even heard a good story about LeBron and I’m a die-hard Cleveland fan and LeBron has played 20 seasons…the ultimate sign of respect/fear stories from all his peers back in the day really tell you without even having to check stats, who the greatest of all time really is.
LBJs flopping, whining...and acting...these will be the stories of the future
Younger gens will compare LBJ to young pros for who's better in flopping ang whining...maybe there will be some greatness LBJ had for 20+ years...but people will talk most of his loopholes...
@@AEM479 he didn't have the flu... lol they said it was but it was actually food poisoning
👏👏👏..
Michael Jordan did for basketball what Bruce Lee did for the martial arts : they both took their respective pursuits to a whole new level that no one had ever imagined before. The N.B.A. franchises literally changed their entire approach to defense to adjust to the skill of M.J., and even *THAT* did not stop him..💪💪💪
"The best that ever was, the best that ever will be!"
Idk how anyone can even still be having the who’s the goat convo. If an athlete can inspire ALL people White black purple brown yellow pink, then he’s the goat. No one is more of an inspiration than Mike.
Michael Jordan’s goat 🐐 legends Srocing Best player all time 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
And and and NEVER FLOP😂😂😂😂😂
LBJ King of flops😂😂😂
I can feel the stress leaving my body as I immerse myself in this beautiful and calming melody. Pure relaxation!
LOVED THE VIDEO YOUNGBLOOD ❤❤ LOVED ALL THOSE PLAYERS GROWING UP!! AWESOME!!!
Definition of Michael jordan is Highest discipline human being in sport.
When we become adults - those of us that aren't dependent on pretending to be a version of ourselves at our jobs/retired or what have you - you can tell that Michael Jordan KNEW he could still be himself and didn't cave-in with a "personality" at the highest level which speaks to his character/belief in himself/confidence - it's motivating to ALL PEOPLE!
The 🐐.

One of the best Jordan videos I've seen in a while!!!🔥🔥
He saved my life, and I only know him like most people. Love you MJ!!!!
At my own age now of almost 45 years old. And MJ is years retired from NBA basketbal, and his glory years with the Chicago Bulls, in the 80's and 90's. I'am still a true fan of him. Because he is and there's now doubt about him, The Greatest Player there ever was and ever will be.
And mark my words if there where no issues with General Manager Jerry Kraus at that time in 1998. For signing in again contracts for Jordan, Pippen and Rodman the years to come. Because Jerry Kraus wanted an other team for the Chicaga Bulls. Michael Jordan and this powerfull team, had at least won 2 more NBA champion chips. With 8 NBA titles on his name...
You've got to see my closet it's full of MJ's stuff, T-shirt, Sweaters and also several pears of Jordans old and new ones. I still love this incredible man, as a person and a player at his time. No more then allot of respect. A true Fan. Greetings From Belgium!
Yeahh even on the other side of the world in Europe Michael Jordan is still A LEGEND with his famous number 23! And again thanks MJ for those wonderfull years, of my childhood that i looked up to you, as an own basketball player with my team. 🙏💪🙌🏀
This was a very, very good documentary on MJ. It's very interesting to see how he's evolved through the decades
I was in 3rd grade when I first saw him in the championship game. Back then the "chump" caused me to lose a $.25 bet😁😉.
All due, to him hitting that shot, I couldn't STAND THE DUDE😄.
Then living in Chicago, the sports legend was Walter Payton, primarily. MJ swiftly and eventually took over that mantle. I was heavily sports minded and very impressionable in those years.
Moving on, MJ superseded whatever expectations there were. I completely agree with his accessment on the GOAT actualization. I got older buddies that speak very highly of those that came before him
I will say though, that irregardless of the eras, he's certainly near the top of the GOAT list, if not the top.
And, lastly, even though the current era of NBA ballers are freakish in nature, it has in my opinion lost something that I can't put a finger on. I can hardly watch. Bron is good, but, as good as he is, it's something he lacks. That's my opinion, who am I😉
What he lacks is greatness.
There are so many players who skipped parts or all of college and come into the NBA relatively inexperienced and then a soft league that loves the crap around the game more than the game itself. It's just hard to watch after watching the NBA since 1965 when I was 9.
Facts, ones quality of evolution, speaks volumes of how they've invested themselves. He literally planted a seed that sprouted in ways that none of those players expected. What's great about his choice seeds, was how it affected those around him, while he played. Fans/those that adored him and his team mates. No one ain't worth your time, if nothing profound comes out of whatever union/connection.
When he jumps he actually gains way more ground then any other player in today's Era God damn
That last story about embarrassing the Bobcats starters😂😂😂
I live in Charlotte, NC. 1st time I heard that story I fell out laughing!!
"He got on the second team....AND WE LOSE!!!" 😂😂

Great video... thanks for sharing! It makes me sad that we are in this era when people want to try to bury his legacy... people who never saw him will never understand.
1988 defensive player of the year award not 98.
THE REAL GOAT WHO'S NEVER CALLED HIMSELF!
🐐🐐🐐
you must be a casual cause he claimed to be the goat multiple times
He was the best defensive and offensive player in the NBA for like 9 years straight
Michael Jordan TBE The G O A T.🔥💪🏀♥️🙏 Chicago bulls forever 💯
1 day, he won’t be here anymore. We love you, Mike. Thanks for the memories.
They say that players respect LeBron but never feared him. Players were in fear of MJ. Nobody wanted to piss him off because they KNEW that MJ would embarrass them and take his game to another level. But the biggest compliment to MJ is that ALL-STARS in his era and HOF players were and still are in awe of MJ's talent, competitiveness, work ethic, athleticism, stamina, desire, and sheer will to win. Hell, he's been retired over 20+ years and they're still talking about him like it was yesterday. MJ is not doing any talking, but everyone else is.
The days mf cared about the game instead of only being about their brand
Facts.
MJ is the ONLY ONE who wins DPOY AWARD with 35 PPG in NBA History. Let that sink in in yo mind 🤯
One thing I liked about Mike was that he will let his game speak for him. No need to make noise in the press
What t u series yeah he did plus he played n a era with no social media
You can't pin point one when it comes to MJ...THE GOAT
at 10:30, the announcer incorrectly states that Jordan won DPoY in 1998. He won it in 1988, showing his defensive dominance much earlier in his career.
Bron only got the size, longevity and stats (some). But MJ is different. We may see another Bron in the future, but we'll never see a player like MJ. His mentality is way out of this world
I won't even go with belittling an amazing 50 minutes to talk about comparisons, MJ will always be my hero especially in Space Jam as a kid while my dad and brothers went for him, I started watching NBA for serious for his 2nd half his career and it was amazing.
The best EVER.
MJ THE GOAT...and that's all I have to say.
9:06 that stare down between him and Orlando said it all. It was O’s team before MJ walked into training camp as a rookie. Orlando, just like everybody else, did not believe the hype. That’s until they were left staring at the bottom of them Jordan 1’s after taking flight ✈️ . Orlando was very underrated and would be a beast in any era but when the bulls organization and coaching staff let MJ loose it was curtains for the NBA. The late great Dean Smith was the only person to hold MJ down under 20 ppg. When the bulls gave him the rock 🏀 and said there’s no zone defense in the league, he really showed them what he was working on behind closed doors in college. The one and only real GOAT 🐐 MJ.
Truly the GOAT. Not someone who pretends to be one.
His competitive spirit is what sets him apart from the rest and is the only true GOAT of Basketball
1:24 that man described MJ's game better than anyone has done. He needed only a couple of games to do that.
The great Hubie Brown
You know how I know Mike J is the best of all time? When I hear debates about him and LeBron I don't even open my mouth cuz it's not even an argument I don't even feel the need to argue about it that's how you know
No one cant disagree with me but the 90s was the greatest decade for basketball its when it got really interested and 2nd place goes to the 2000s and 3rd is the 80s
Amazing video! I enjoyed watching it so much.
Imagine if Jordan had came in the league at the age of 18 years old and played his entire career without retiring twice?
Excellent point!!!! So obvious- but never heard this argument before. And MJ also brought NC a National Championship!! And: I don’t know his complete stats in the MLB, but I know he hit 1 home run for sure- Even one home run in the MLB in your “time off” from the NBA- Come on…. G.O.A.T. for sure all you haters!! Lol.
And Imagine if LeBron played in the 80s and 90s with phil jackson
@@RealMoneyMarche would be a bench warmer. You don’t get to take LeBron now, and just throw him into the 80’s, and 90’s. You have to also subtract modern medicine, load management, and the PED’s he’s been allowed to take. LeBron would be 30 lbs less, and look horrible like he did when he had to take two weeks off in the beginning of his second stint in Cleveland. Had to get back on the juice. Also, he wouldn’t be able to build Superteams. If Phil had Bron we would have never known who Phil was, and he also would have never coached Shaq, and Kobe. Bron has no bag.
@@RKYJHAIRSTUDIOS LeBron has no bag is just comical I cant even take you serious after that one buddy 😂 another casual copying what people say 90s is Gahbage bro
@@RealMoneyMarc I copy nothing. I watched them both. There’s a reason it’s called the Golden Age. We can’t help that y’all soft as shit, and glorify a known quitter, flopper, and cheater who shoots 37% outside 3 feet, but what do y’all know? Y’all are confused on what a man, and woman is, so what would y’all know about basketball? Much less competition?
Humility adds up to the greatness of the Greatest Of All Time, Michael "Air" Jordan
April 5th, 1996, Michael, and the Chicago Bulls visit the Charlotte Hornets. I look up at the scoreboard during the game and see the bulls leading the hornets 20 to 0, in the first half. Best start to a basketball game ever in my opinion. Never, ever piss off Michael.
I ain't never heard nobody say what BJ Armstrong just said about Michael Jordan. I have never heard nobody say that about no other player especially LeBron. This man was not sleeping or eating. That's insane. And you know that old catchphrase keep that same energy man. You just heard BJ Armstrong. Mike took that keep that same energy theory to a whole new level. I wonder what could he have done if he had a slept more but then again when you got it you just got it and boy did he have it
Reggie you were Good im from Chicago we watched many games you played thanks for sharing
Knicks fan but he the man and still Knicks fan
Great vid. Cannot get enough stories about Jordan. His drive & tenacity is unmatched. I LIKE MIKE!
The things I like about Dr. J . He was always in a Suit and tie . And at times he was a Motivation to all . If love the game of basketball. ❤❤ You can just ask Michael Jordan.
Da Goat, his airiness, we all wished we could be like Mike!!❤🏀
thats why mj is goat in sports history----chuck said put him on the ground!!!
This kind of thing has never happened before, will never be
That was an awesome video! I was so lucky to have lived as a young man when Michael hit the NBA. Only locked eyes with him once. He was driving away in a Ferrari. 🏀
MJ wanted to dunk on Dan Patrick in that moment. 😂😂😂
One of the best offensive and defensive player like who does that only the GOAT 🐐
This is the quintessential documentary of Michael Jordan’s greatness. LeBron’s self crowning followers will take a moment of silence. As stated, no one feared LeBron the way Jordan was feared.
2011 version of LeBron scared everybody. Take a look back in the Ol' memory bank.
This fkn video was awesome...if this was a dvd,I'd definitely add it to the rest of my Jordan/Bulls collection!
He was absolutely incredible
I’m a huge MJ fan and seeing Ant balling out like he is now gives me major MJ vibes
