@@wattwatkins3574 Sure but was still a one man show out there until he evolved - learned to utilize his teammates and play within a system (enter Phil Jackson).
@@athirdwhy9734 Well with him playing with a bunch of coke heads that weren't that great of NBA players he had to be a one man show... Also Doug Collins told him to shoot more.
Goat Bro! You can’t be greatest scorer ever and combine that with being an elite level defender and not be the GOAT. And you gotta admit his passing was underrated. He was a complete player for sure! He passed when he needed to.
There was a season in which the bulls lost their starting PG and MJ played the point. MJ went on to post triple doubles in 9 out of the next 10 games. G.O.A.T
@@jasontaylor898 HAHA! I was just about to say the same thing. 10 out of 11. And one of them was almost a quadruple-double. I think he was a stat or two away.
It's amazing that they got so many highlights out of each game you would think it would be like a Mash up through his career but each one of these is a sequence it's nuts how he was so good every game
As someone who started watching him in like 91-92 (and i wish i would have caught more of his 80s stuff) it was ridiculous how consistently great he was. Every damn game you could pencil him in for like 30/6/6 with 2 steals and a block, and at least one play that made you jump out of your seat and yell to anyone around to come watch the replay. Every. Single. Game. And somehow he got better in 4th quarters and playoffs... he's the GOAT as a peace offering to any lebron fans out there: while Jordan is the best player ive ever seen (he had the highest peak) at his peak, James has had the greatest extended peak or window of greatness i've ever seen. At some point, maybe already, or maybe soon (especially if he wins another chip or two with the lakers) he will have the best career of all time.
Mj's footwork and off the ball game allowed him to get the ball, thus setting him up for open looks. It wasn't that the defense wasn't good, he simply was better at reading the gaps and moving into position by using screens, footwork, quickness, IQ, etc.
As you kinda said, they literally can’t step up to him when he’s out at mid-range because he will then just drive around them. So they are in a tough spot. Percentage-wise they have to take their chances on the lesser of two evils: his jumper. The only other option is to double or triple him which, as you said, opens them up to his passing which was also elite level. All the bs about him playing in a weak era is basically due to ignorant mf’ers not understanding WHY teams don’t seem to aggressively defend him. It’s not cos they were weak defenders, it was because he was so good at all fundamentals all they could do was choose the lowest percentage scoring option to let him have. It was a tactical choice he forced them to make, not a lack of capability on their part. The only team to successfully shut him down for a couple seasons was Detroit and they only succeeded because they adopted a set of rules that basically amounted to ding what would be a flagrant two in today’s game EVERYTIME HE LEFT HIS FEET AT THE RING. And in the end all they achieved was to force him to go to the gym and get physically stronger and do develop the mid-range shooting skills that ultimately made him undefeatable.
The reaction you had at 12:59 was us every single time MJ was on TV in the 80s and 90s. The stats aren’t what makes MJ the GOAT. If a person understands basketball , it is IMPOSSIBLE for someone to sit and really watch Jordan play and then say, “Nah, LeBron is better”.
Someone please tell me who had a prettier stroke than His Airness? It’s so mutha#%^*€+ beautiful. 🤦🏽♂️. He was so good. Ahhhhh...it’s frustrating because you can’t get someone who wasn’t there and seen it to fully get who he was and what he did. You just can’t. Praise God that I grew up watching that! 💪🏽🙏🏽✊🏽
@@ramathorne1331 LOL 38??? He avg'd 37 one season back THEN. Think bigger. MJ would avg 45+ in today's wide-open lanes, and that's if he didn't even bother to shoot any threes.
DEFINITELY A PART 2 - It's like "Who the hell said they played no defense in the 80s and 90s?" The paint looks clogged. Basketball doesn't even look the same now. I watched highlights from last season and it just looks like 5 people standing around having separate groups of conversations, occasionally running out to swat at a 3. Defense has zero form now, it's so weird looking. Then people just let you have the paint, long as you don't shoot a 3. Mike was fighting people for the rim.
The nba has been completely destroyed its sad. Basketball is suposed to be a physical sport . Players now a days get drafted way to young. Half of these players in nba should still be in college learning how to play basketball.
I think the era/rules is a moot point... if you swapped MJ and Bron with a time machine both would definitely still have been dominant players. Bron in the 80s/90s would have been like a cross between Magic and malone, and Jordan in the modern game would be a hybrid of Westbrook and Kawhi. i still think mike is the best ive ever seen, but lebron is a solid #2. The biggest difference is in mentality - jordan was a killer who played every game like his life was on the line; whereas bron is a businessman who maximizes every angle to maintain his spot at the top. If my life was on the line, give me jordan in a 1v1 or a playoff series with even teams, but both players would have been great in any era and are in the pantheon with wilt and russell, bird and magic, durant and whoever else you want to throw in (my dad always said Oscar was the best he ever saw)
@@ewolffman The time is crucial. Back then, EVERYTHING was word of mouth. You had to depend on "people" for guidance. Only a few elite camps. You had to use a library. Technology was plyometrics and jump ropes. With the net, anyone can learn tested and tried skills and athleticism. Nowadays, EVERYBODY can jump. Wasn't the same back then.
@@ewolffman I disagree. Lebron wouldnt have been as dominant in the 80s. His fundamentals arent sound enough and mentally he wasn't strong enough. Im not saying he wouldve been a scrub but the 80s - 90s players were different. They were mean, more physical, and couldnt just demand a trade or get the coach fired. Where as Jordan would win every year in this era. Thered be no way to stop him. And if he worked on his 3 (like we all know he would) I can honestly see him hitting 8 or 9 a night. He could average 40/10/10 easily. Especially with the rules changes. Could u see lebron facing the bad boy pistons? What if they used "the Jordan Rule" on lebron? What do u think the results would be? He wouldnt be able to get Collins fired. He couldn't take his talents to Detroit. Nor could he recruit Larry Bird to the Bulls.
Which begs the question.. What's the Big Deal about hitting 3's... Unless you're going to get fouled. Check the stats.. WHY are Jerry West and Big O still high on the Free Throw All Time Leaders.. They haven't played since the end of the Vietnam War.
Seeing this you can clearly see how MJ would average 45-50 points in today's game. With the interior defense the way it is now, and the ticky tack fouls called.
No flops either my man different kinda monster this era was dope there was a no lay up rule at one point but he still posterizezed everyone plus he was 6.6 haha 😂 the goat
I grew up in the late 80’s and 90’s, no one was greater than Michael. And, no one will ever be better. The 1992 “Dream Team “ for the Olympics was the best of all time period.
When I first saw your channel I just knew that you were going to change your mind about Jordan. It really is hard to explain but he was just different. As talented as he was his work ethic was incredible. I saw him play in person three times and had great seats so I was up close to really see him. I'm not lying when I say that he gave me a natural high watching him. He was just different and I really believe that God made him different. Really enjoy your channel and you have a new subscriber. Keep em coming.
I think the majority of us that have seen him ball up close will agree with you. The guy was jaguar-like. The creativity and raw athleticism was just mesmerizing. And he played with so much elegance. We'll never see anyone like him.
I agree. He is the only member of his immediate family who is remotely that tall. Plus he was gifted with the hand size of a center, in a guard's body.
As you can see Jordan demanded so much attention when he had the ball. The way he was able to break down defenses and get his shot or set teammates up was beautiful. And that was young lion Jordan, who preferred to attack basket and put bigs on posters. So perimeter defenders played him to drive so they gave him a little space and didn't have hands up. Good luck trying to deny him the ball. He was too quick and a master at setting up defenders, freeing himself up. #GOAT
MJ was also a willing passer too. He just didn't need to. Even when he guarded by 3 people, he was still the first option of bulls. He could score no matter what.
Jordan is known for his flashy highlights, but I also saw several games of him where I thought he didn’t do much the whole game just to find out he scored 40+. He could perfectly operate in the system defeat a team silently. For him it was always about winning. If he needed the opponents fans to shut up, he’d dunk on their stars, keep their score low with defense - whatever it took. While MJ understood a high flying dunk is good for his brand and shoe sales, this never compromised his commitment to the game. With Kobe and LeBron you can see how building their legacy and getting the stats seemed to compromise their behavior on the court. A Kobe would go for 81 for the headlines, it wasn’t needed for winning that game and he did it at horrible efficiency, similar how a Russe Westbrook forced his team to get him triple doubles. A LeBron won’t go for a block to not end up on a poster, manages his energy on defence, flop, calls himself the goat - to me this is all a heavy emphasis on your social media reputation and statistical legacy rather than a focus on winning no matter what - to witness this raw passion and commitment to winning was the actually inspiring facet of MJs career.
This was a really good era of physical ball. I wish you could have seen him, magic, and Bird live. I was rooting for the bulls back then. But man, Magic, and Bird were sick to watch as well.Jordan was crazy talented in so many areas. Bird was insanely smart with vision that I could not understand. It is great to have seen them all live and to see Lebron, KD, the Greek Freak, and Steph Curry. Thanks for the good looks into these guys. They were fun to watch
Another great video Legaci. That season was crazy! Check out his stat line and his accomplishments in that season alone: -Scoring Title -Defensive Player of the Year -NBA MVP -NBA All-Star Game MVP -Slam Dunk Champion -Steals Champ -200 Steals/100 Blocks -4 Games Scoring 50+ Points -18 Games Scoring 40+ points -Averaged 35 Points Per Game, 5.5 Rebounds Per Game, 6 Assists, 3 Steals Per Game, 1.6 Blocks Per Game. Again, all in the same season. Different.
Its easy to put together a mix tape these days. But when u watched MJ doing that the whole game, every game... I'd never seen anything like it. LBJ turns it on once in a while. But MJ was cooking the whole league everyday with just 50% power
And many fools said Jordan couldn't shoot at the beginning of his career. smh He chose to score on the inside with ppl pn him. He always had a nice midrange game tho.
91 MJ was also a problem. He was physically stronger, still quick, athletic , high IQ elite defender. Arguably his best season, come to think of it, there hasn’t been a season you could call a bad season for MJ. Never seen anything like him. Kobe came close but Kobe was more like seasoned veteran MJ, young MJ could never be imitated.
You know what's funny? Mamba's in my top 5 for sure, but if you look at Kobe's numbers from his MVP season and compare them to MJ's ROOKIE season, MJ's numbers are actually a little better... how frightening is THAT?
When you're pointing out the four people on Jordan. Most of the time that was the bad boy Pistons. They literally created the Jordan rules you got to watch some videos on that they beat him down badly and he finally was able to overcome them in the playoffs but it was a journey even for the goat
If you watch MJ play you'll see a lot of the best players of today in Michael Jordan from Westbrook to Kyrie Irving to Kobe Bryant just it keeps going on and on all these moves that you're seeing being done are basic things that and Jay was doing every night regularly
dude. let me tell you this... every kid in town back in the old days tries to emulate Jordan's move. When we were watching Jordan's game we don't blink too often because we might miss his live actions. The Jordan's moves looks so effortless but very artistic and impressive. Very gracious and yet very effective to get points. His thinking is so advance and would always read defense so very quickly before he goes to the basket even if he is contested by almost whole opposing team. That is not what you can see in Lebron's game and mindset.
I've watched most of your videos now, I know you keep yelling "get a hand up!" but the problem was that even more lethal than his mid range was his first step. The reason they didn't want to commit fully on his jumper was because they feared him blowing by them and we all know what happened once he got to the hoop.
His jumper just kept getting better, but your right he hit his shots just look at his shooting % outside of three feet and compare it to LBJ or anyone else for that matter.. then look up his game winning shot percentage outside of three feet...
I wasn’t a basketball fan, nor a sports fan really. But I’ve heard of Jordan and would watch every game he played just to see him slice through the opposing teams defense like hot knife through butter. He does that throughout every game, it was amazing to watch even for non-sports fan like me. Just when you think you got enough of Jordan, he pulls off another amazing play. He’s the GOAT to every non-sports fan who had the pleasure of watching Jordan play. I watched a few Lebrun games... especially the finals when he lead the Cavs from 3-0 deficit to win the championship against the Warriors. Though the “story” and journey may be storybook, but to be honest, I wouldn’t re-watch it. It wasn’t that fun to watch. I read another person say about GOAT debate. In 20 years, would people watch Jordon’s career highlights, or Lebron’s? That’s who the GOAT is.
I don’t know how relevant it is to the GOAT debate, but Lebron is not particularly fun to watch. Don’t misunderstand me, he is an amazing player, but his brute force style of play lacks the grace and beauty of MJ’s. One could say the same of Shaq, who was totally dominant in his prime. Shaq was athletic, but his greatness derived from his massive size and strength. I agree that future generations will more likely watch MJ’s highlights over Lebron’s. BTW, if I had to choose between prime LBJ and prime KD, I would take Durant in a heartbeat.
You are the most fun to watch these highlights with. I was privileged to watch the GOAT during his playing years and it is great to relive them with new eyes watching.
Now do Jonny arnett- why MJs the goat vid I’ll think he’ll put it into another form I’ll think you’ll like and all also mj top 100 feats that bron can’t surpass you may be hella impressed
@@cygnus_x1227 Yes, sir... That dude be flopping for calls all the time and he does too much crying to the refs... He'll start getting the calls after working the refs but then miss his free throws. Lol. Missing that clutch gene a little bit... Smh.
Enjoy your vids, bud! You've hit on a subject near & dear to my heart as a lifelong Chicagoan who, as rough as it is to admit to myself, is hitting 50y/o this year & grew up watching MJs career. (Recommended reaction video- swap over to football and watch Walter Payton highlights- he wasn't just Bears running back, but he was also their emergency QB- and did take some snaps- but he was often listed as their emergency kicker and was known to kick 40+ yd FGs in practice... not only fast and smooth (his nickname was "Sweetness," after all,) but he'd look to take out opposing linebackers as he ran. You'll have a blast watching him!) MJ *IS* the GOAT, especially with those of us lucky enough to have seen him play, (as well as Kobe & LBJ,) and for those of us falling into that group, it's rarely debatable. MJ was and remains the best at just *imposing his will* on a game at any given moment, day in, day out. Whatever you needed in a specific pivotal moment, he did. Need a huge 3pter? He hit it. Need to put pressure on a team? He'd get the And1 on an opposing superstar to make sure they started softening up on D and not hit the showers. Needed the ball in the hands of one of the sharpshooters? Done. His D was amazing. Need a bigtime steal? He snatched it. Need an opposing crowd out of the game? He'd drain the next 5 shots. He could start a game 2-11 shooting, then come out and dominate by putting up 20 of the next 24pts to wipe out the opponent's lead. And he did it all, seemingly almost every night and at will. He seemed to have his body attuned to whatever the arc & distance to the basket was during every second he was in motion to a degree that seemed supernatural... but, it was more like... his will was just as trained as his body, combined with the ability to somehow defy gravity. I've watched my share of "the next Jordans" come and go, and there's been some great players- certainly Mamba & LBJ, but none have compared to the package MJ brought, especially in their ability to simply impose their will on the outcome of a game like him. Absolutely THE GOAT.
MJ was the DPOY steals leader several times and was so mentally tough. Had 200 steals and 100 blocks twice. Check 87-88 season or 88-89 he almost averaged a triple double!!
Just a bit of context the first few minutes of this video... He was playing the World Champion Celtics. Bird, McHale, Parrish and DJ. Arguably the first "Superteam." Closed out 5 on 1 on him and he still dropped 50
Drop that part 2. I enjoy watching your videos. I was growing up in Chicago when Jordan was with the Bulls. Must see TV every game on WGN. When Mike and the Bulls were playing, Atleast in my neighborhood (Noble square) no one Was Outside for those two hours. Even the gang banners bangers. All you heard were people cheering in their homes. Jordan is the GOAT
MJ's fundamentals are so sound that all his steps look so light footed yet when he rises up and absorbs contact, you'll see how strong, balanced, and in control he is in mid-air, then lands gracefully like nothing happened.
That’s season he won everything except an NBA title and a finals MVP. he won the NBA MVP ,scoring title, dunk contest, All-Star MVP, defense player of the year. Hr had 200 steals and 100 blocks that year. he is just totally unstoppable averaged 35 points a game and not even shooting many threes. if he was shooting threes he probably average 40 to 50 easy he’s the most unstoppable player ever. And he blessed us with the threes (shoes) that year. 🐐
Somebody send him the video on when they had Jordan rules to stop Jordan from scoring and they was beating him down to stop him from scoring. Perfect reaction
In addition to how impressive the shots themselves are, consider how demoralizing it is to the players on the opposing team who are trying to stop him?
One thing about MJ he could shoot from any where on the court & post you up,,left side right center top hell off the court in the drive way etc...... Salute young man for doing your research
Thought it would be this year.. He was feeling pretty damn comfortable in the league by then and come off injury season year before.. dude just went nuts.. after this people knew hes more than just a guy who can jump and shoot alot.. wasnt FULLY matured in his game but still had mad athleticism.. By the time he fully matured was starting to lose a little of the physical edge, by time he was master in 2nd 3peat body was definately past those days. This season statistically and visually was something special... even without chips.
I grew up watching mj, you're mind was blown away every game by the crazy moves. If you wanna watch a great championship game or shall I say games watch them all. I really liked when they played the lakers in 91. Every game was a battle till the buzzer. Basketball today is just too damn soft. Watch every single game vs the lakers. Don't worry the lakers were full of greats. Magic, worthy, vlade divac, Sam Perkins, just to name a few. Hell watch all the championship games can't go wrong. I never missed a game of his growing up. Glad I got to watch him. Every game something amazing happened.im glad you're doing research and realize mj is the goat.
While you're doing this, look up Tex Winters. He's the genius behind the triangle offense, which is what allowed all of this to happen the way it did. Completely under appreciated.
Young Man, MJ destroyed my pistons back in the day... These highlights were before the bad boys were born, so he didn't start getting bodyslammed until 1989-90 lol. He would drop 35 on the pistons like it was nothin
what you need to watch is Jordan Takes it Personal moments. For me, this really defines Jordan. No one, (IMO) besides Kobe, can match the intensity and competitive drive to Jordan's. He quite literally play as if a demon lived within his soul every night, but would release that demon if someone pushed him.
Takes a man to be willing to change his mind and be open minded new sub here keep it up bro 1 more edit lol please do a Ray allen vid he was my favorite player and was great Oh yeah mentioned D in last vid i think but he was defensive player of the year a few times and in the running several more he could lock folks down
When will we see another player like mike!? I womder if i will still be around when that time comes... seen him play from 87 until his last retirement... i’ve basically seen 3 era’s.. but there aint nobody close to how MJ played the game.. and i was originallt a celtics fan back in the day..
That Pistons team is The Bad Boys Pistons with Isiah Thomas, Joe Dumars, Bill Laimbeer, John Salley, Dennis Rodman, Adrian Dantley, Vinnie Johnson, Rick Mahorn and Sidney Green and then the next year they added Ralph Lewis and Darryl Dawkins
Have you watched his Olympic game… not the dream team, his rookie year. - just know, jordan was coming out of college, so he wasn’t yet a “pro” and the pros of magic, bird, etc. never won a game…
@@maskedassassinsclan1185 I mean the “practice games” they played against prior to the Olympics against practically a super team and beat them all. You wouldn’t consider the all-star pros they played against a dream team either?
And some of those early Knicks series. 1992 vs Knicks. The whole series was insane but Game 7 Jordan is ridiculously dominant on both ends. He played some great defense and wound up with 42 pts, 3 Blks, 2 stls on 51% shooting. That or 1993 vs Knicks game 4 (54 points, on 18-of-30 shooting) or Game 5 (10Reb, 14Ast, 2 Stl, 29Pts).
@@secoTheSonicFan 1988-1993 was pretty much his athletic prime where he had the skill to compliment it. 1996-1998 was where he really reached ungodly levels in terms of his Basketball IQ and controlling momentum. Although, he was still athletic as hell through even the later years relative to most players. His upper body also got stronger and while he didn't have as much lift he could still sling jumpshot fadeaways from like 15-18 feet (just watch his 1997 playoff highlights - it's nearly 10 minutes of jumpers and fadeaways on anyone and everyone). 1993 was weird, however. He had just competed in the 1992 Olympics and often talked about how mentally and physically drained he was in 93. Supposedly he had also been considering retirement during the season. I'm sure all that had a good deal to do with his waning enthusiasm as well as his athleticism. He still averaged 41ppg in the finals, though. And beat Dominique, the Cavs and the Knicks and the MVP Barkley. So it's not like he didn't have an insane playoff run. He looked like he was finally reaching his peak IQ by 92 through 93, though. More surgical and calculated. In 91 he was great but if you watch those games against the Lakers he was still making a lot of mistakes. By 92 he was just winning games with his momentum. Teams would be beat in the first half (Like the Blazers game 1 in 92). And he only became more cunning and surgical from then on. Keep in mind, too, even though his numbers weren't as mind boggling compared to years prior, in the 1996-97 playoffs he almost became the first guard to ever lead his team in pts, rebs, assts, blks, and stls in a playoff championship run. At age 34 he was only a few rebounds short of outrebounding Rodman (who was really inconsistent in those playoffs, only averaging like 8.5 with 3 Offensive rebounds. Jordan averaged 7.9 with like 2 ORB) and only like a couple blocks short of leading in that, too (Pippen barely beat him with totals but they both averaged 0.9 as the highest). The only player to do that (Lead in those 5 categories) and win a championship was Hakeem in 93-94 as far as I can find.

I hear you saying players names and mentioning that you've never seen them play and I just raise my eyebrows in amazement. Take the rosters from Dream Teams 1 & 2 and make a list of the players. Everyone of them will have an amazing array of highlights worthy of reaction videos. Most will be hall of famers by now and if they're not, they probably should be. Anyway, keep doing what you're doing. Its nice to see your reactions to players from what I consider the best era of NBA basketball.
You're witnessing the birth of "The Jordan Rules". The majority if those highlights were against the Pistons, who were a defensive juggernaut at the time. He torched them game after game after game and made them look like a bunch of college players. In a way, I understand, Chuck Daly was simply out of answers. MJ+🏀=🐐
He is the only player ive ever seen at all times he was the best player. Hands down Mike is unstoppable. 50 burgers in his sleep. Making it look easy. Dayuuuuuuuum
When you have the most feared drive to the basket combined with the best midrange fadeaway in the game. He just wasn’t fair.
And big fkn hands
MJ just flat out didn't care how many defenders we're standing in his way...he had the confidence to simply drive to the basket and use his creativity and athletic abilities to score on whoever tried to stop him... He also knew when to pass it too Fearlessness at its finest!
Sometimes it seems to help them. He will have them knocking into each other and creating gaps.
When he started to care, that's when he started to pass, soon after the championships started rolling in.

He is a better passer than Lebron in my opinion. Turns the ball over less on his assists attempts also.

as a peace offering to any lebron fans out there: while Jordan is the best player ive ever seen (he had the highest peak) at his peak, James has had the greatest extended peak or window of greatness i've ever seen. At some point, maybe already, or maybe soon (especially if he wins another chip or two with the lakers) he will have the best career of all time.
He was a true pro... Came to play every night.
You can take any one season's highlights of his. And it tops most HOFer career highlights!
Every game was a event with jordan good for business
Can't forget that he won defensive player of the year AND mvp in the same year.
Mj's footwork and off the ball game allowed him to get the ball, thus setting him up for open looks. It wasn't that the defense wasn't good, he simply was better at reading the gaps and moving into position by using screens, footwork, quickness, IQ, etc.
The dude was a artist
Look at his time of possession for his career, it's crazy. He moved so well without the ball that his TOP is low considering all the points he scored.
Pistons had Jordan rules... "cannot let him take flight" they would put him on the ground everytime time he went up. MJ took gnarly beatings...
As you kinda said, they literally can’t step up to him when he’s out at mid-range because he will then just drive around them.
So they are in a tough spot.
Percentage-wise they have to take their chances on the lesser of two evils: his jumper.
The only other option is to double or triple him which, as you said, opens them up to his passing which was also elite level.
All the bs about him playing in a weak era is basically due to ignorant mf’ers not understanding WHY teams don’t seem to aggressively defend him.
It’s not cos they were weak defenders, it was because he was so good at all fundamentals all they could do was choose the lowest percentage scoring option to let him have.
It was a tactical choice he forced them to make, not a lack of capability on their part.
The only team to successfully shut him down for a couple seasons was Detroit and they only succeeded because they adopted a set of rules that basically amounted to ding what would be a flagrant two in today’s game EVERYTIME HE LEFT HIS FEET AT THE RING.
And in the end all they achieved was to force him to go to the gym and get physically stronger and do develop the mid-range shooting skills that ultimately made him undefeatable.
Well put indeed 👍
Faaaaacts!
And the haters say"but the celtics killed him"
People knew he was the best player before he won anything.
The reaction you had at 12:59 was us every single time MJ was on TV in the 80s and 90s. The stats aren’t what makes MJ the GOAT. If a person understands basketball , it is IMPOSSIBLE for someone to sit and really watch Jordan play and then say, “Nah, LeBron is better”.
Someone please tell me who had a prettier stroke than His Airness? It’s so mutha#%^*€+ beautiful. 🤦🏽♂️. He was so good. Ahhhhh...it’s frustrating because you can’t get someone who wasn’t there and seen it to fully get who he was and what he did. You just can’t. Praise God that I grew up watching that! 💪🏽🙏🏽✊🏽
not saying it was better but Ray Allen had a pretty stroke
Ray Allen is about the only one.
Now imagine him in today’s NBA with all the floor spacing and tell me he wouldn’t flourish.
He’d avg 38 a game now
@@ramathorne1331 LOL 38??? He avg'd 37 one season back THEN. Think bigger. MJ would avg 45+ in today's wide-open lanes, and that's if he didn't even bother to shoot any threes.
and without hand checking today.
@@robjames4160 and with no hand checking ... no one today could ever come close to stopping him.
In today’s NBA he would average 40 to 45 points a game easy!
DEFINITELY A PART 2 - It's like "Who the hell said they played no defense in the 80s and 90s?" The paint looks clogged. Basketball doesn't even look the same now. I watched highlights from last season and it just looks like 5 people standing around having separate groups of conversations, occasionally running out to swat at a 3. Defense has zero form now, it's so weird looking. Then people just let you have the paint, long as you don't shoot a 3. Mike was fighting people for the rim.
The nba has been completely destroyed its sad. Basketball is suposed to be a physical sport . Players now a days get drafted way to young. Half of these players in nba should still be in college learning how to play basketball.
@@jordanrodriguez6412 FACTS!
I think the era/rules is a moot point... if you swapped MJ and Bron with a time machine both would definitely still have been dominant players. Bron in the 80s/90s would have been like a cross between Magic and malone, and Jordan in the modern game would be a hybrid of Westbrook and Kawhi. i still think mike is the best ive ever seen, but lebron is a solid #2.
The biggest difference is in mentality - jordan was a killer who played every game like his life was on the line; whereas bron is a businessman who maximizes every angle to maintain his spot at the top. If my life was on the line, give me jordan in a 1v1 or a playoff series with even teams, but both players would have been great in any era and are in the pantheon with wilt and russell, bird and magic, durant and whoever else you want to throw in (my dad always said Oscar was the best he ever saw)
@@ewolffman The time is crucial. Back then, EVERYTHING was word of mouth. You had to depend on "people" for guidance. Only a few elite camps. You had to use a library.
Technology was plyometrics and jump ropes.
With the net, anyone can learn tested and tried skills and athleticism. Nowadays, EVERYBODY can jump. Wasn't the same back then.
@@ewolffman I disagree. Lebron wouldnt have been as dominant in the 80s. His fundamentals arent sound enough and mentally he wasn't strong enough. Im not saying he wouldve been a scrub but the 80s - 90s players were different. They were mean, more physical, and couldnt just demand a trade or get the coach fired. Where as Jordan would win every year in this era. Thered be no way to stop him. And if he worked on his 3 (like we all know he would) I can honestly see him hitting 8 or 9 a night. He could average 40/10/10 easily. Especially with the rules changes. Could u see lebron facing the bad boy pistons? What if they used "the Jordan Rule" on lebron? What do u think the results would be? He wouldnt be able to get Collins fired. He couldn't take his talents to Detroit. Nor could he recruit Larry Bird to the Bulls.
The big thing with this Era was the poster, posters were selling more than Jerseys, nobody wanted to get posterized by MJ
Lol, Facts, You’re absolutely right it’s funny to think back to how popular posters were. They were right up there with jerseys and shoes!
@@jptheteck I had a bunch of posters on my wall lol
And everyone ended up getting posterized by him anyway. There was not a star center or forward he didn't jam on in the era.
@@ttestagrRight? He was a straight bully when it came to centers!
Lol. Even when they fouled him, he destroyed them at the free throw line.
Which begs the question.. What's the Big Deal about hitting 3's... Unless you're going to get fouled. Check the stats.. WHY are Jerry West and Big O still high on the Free Throw All Time Leaders.. They haven't played since the end of the Vietnam War.
SAY THAT AGAIN....💜💚
Watch his 1989 Playoff run, he was amazing in that. Carried the Bulls and handed the Pistons their only two defeats of that Playoffs
Seeing this you can clearly see how MJ would average 45-50 points in today's game. With the interior defense the way it is now, and the ticky tack fouls called.
Easy for mj in this poosay era
No flops either my man different kinda monster this era was dope there was a no lay up rule at one point but he still posterizezed everyone plus he was 6.6 haha 😂 the goat
The pistons coach literally wrote a book called the Jordan rules.
I grew up in the late 80’s and 90’s, no one was greater than Michael. And, no one will ever be better. The 1992 “Dream Team “ for the Olympics was the best of all time period.
When I first saw your channel I just knew that you were going to change your mind about Jordan. It really is hard to explain but he was just different. As talented as he was his work ethic was incredible. I saw him play in person three times and had great seats so I was up close to really see him. I'm not lying when I say that he gave me a natural high watching him. He was just different
and I really believe that God made him different. Really enjoy your channel and you have a new subscriber. Keep em coming.
I think the majority of us that have seen him ball up close will agree with you. The guy was jaguar-like. The creativity and raw athleticism was just mesmerizing. And he played with so much elegance. We'll never see anyone like him.
@@katrinachavez3533 I couldn't have said it better.
I agree. He is the only member of his immediate family who is remotely that tall. Plus he was gifted with the hand size of a center, in a guard's body.
Back then u had to work for every shot refs wasn’t calling anything
As you can see Jordan demanded so much attention when he had the ball. The way he was able to break down defenses and get his shot or set teammates up was beautiful. And that was young lion Jordan, who preferred to attack basket and put bigs on posters. So perimeter defenders played him to drive so they gave him a little space and didn't have hands up. Good luck trying to deny him the ball. He was too quick and a master at setting up defenders, freeing himself up. #GOAT
MJ was also a willing passer too. He just didn't need to. Even when he guarded by 3 people, he was still the first option of bulls. He could score no matter what.
Jordan is known for his flashy highlights, but I also saw several games of him where I thought he didn’t do much the whole game just to find out he scored 40+. He could perfectly operate in the system defeat a team silently. For him it was always about winning. If he needed the opponents fans to shut up, he’d dunk on their stars, keep their score low with defense - whatever it took. While MJ understood a high flying dunk is good for his brand and shoe sales, this never compromised his commitment to the game. With Kobe and LeBron you can see how building their legacy and getting the stats seemed to compromise their behavior on the court. A Kobe would go for 81 for the headlines, it wasn’t needed for winning that game and he did it at horrible efficiency, similar how a Russe Westbrook forced his team to get him triple doubles. A LeBron won’t go for a block to not end up on a poster, manages his energy on defence, flop, calls himself the goat - to me this is all a heavy emphasis on your social media reputation and statistical legacy rather than a focus on winning no matter what - to witness this raw passion and commitment to winning was the actually inspiring facet of MJs career.
This was a really good era of physical ball. I wish you could have seen him, magic, and Bird live. I was rooting for the bulls back then. But man, Magic, and Bird were sick to watch as well.Jordan was crazy talented in so many areas. Bird was insanely smart with vision that I could not understand. It is great to have seen them all live and to see Lebron, KD, the Greek Freak, and Steph Curry. Thanks for the good looks into these guys. They were fun to watch
Another great video Legaci. That season was crazy!
Check out his stat line and his accomplishments in that season alone:
-Scoring Title
-Defensive Player of the Year
-NBA MVP
-NBA All-Star Game MVP
-Slam Dunk Champion
-Steals Champ
-200 Steals/100 Blocks
-4 Games Scoring 50+ Points
-18 Games Scoring 40+ points
-Averaged 35 Points Per Game, 5.5 Rebounds Per Game, 6 Assists, 3 Steals Per Game, 1.6 Blocks Per Game.
Again, all in the same season. Different.
Its easy to put together a mix tape these days. But when u watched MJ doing that the whole game, every game... I'd never seen anything like it. LBJ turns it on once in a while. But MJ was cooking the whole league everyday with just 50% power
And many fools said Jordan couldn't shoot at the beginning of his career. smh He chose to score on the inside with ppl pn him. He always had a nice midrange game tho.
91 MJ was also a problem. He was physically stronger, still quick, athletic , high IQ elite defender. Arguably his best season, come to think of it, there hasn’t been a season you could call a bad season for MJ. Never seen anything like him. Kobe came close but Kobe was more like seasoned veteran MJ, young MJ could never be imitated.
I liked his 88 season.. dpoy and scoring champ with a MVP
You know what's funny? Mamba's in my top 5 for sure, but if you look at Kobe's numbers from his MVP season and compare them to MJ's ROOKIE season, MJ's numbers are actually a little better... how frightening is THAT?
When you're pointing out the four people on Jordan. Most of the time that was the bad boy Pistons. They literally created the Jordan rules you got to watch some videos on that they beat him down badly and he finally was able to overcome them in the playoffs but it was a journey even for the goat
If you watch MJ play you'll see a lot of the best players of today in Michael Jordan from Westbrook to Kyrie Irving to Kobe Bryant just it keeps going on and on all these moves that you're seeing being done are basic things that and Jay was doing every night regularly
dude. let me tell you this... every kid in town back in the old days tries to emulate Jordan's move. When we were watching Jordan's game we don't blink too often because we might miss his live actions.
The Jordan's moves looks so effortless but very artistic and impressive. Very gracious and yet very effective to get points. His thinking is so advance and would always read defense so very quickly before he goes to the basket even if he is contested by almost whole opposing team.
That is not what you can see in Lebron's game and mindset.
I've watched most of your videos now, I know you keep yelling "get a hand up!" but the problem was that even more lethal than his mid range was his first step. The reason they didn't want to commit fully on his jumper was because they feared him blowing by them and we all know what happened once he got to the hoop.
This!!! 👆👆👆
They try to say he had no jumper.... he literally made a jumper to win a NCAA championship
His jumper just kept getting better, but your right he hit his shots just look at his shooting % outside of three feet and compare it to LBJ or anyone else for that matter.. then look up his game winning shot percentage outside of three feet...
I wasn’t a basketball fan, nor a sports fan really. But I’ve heard of Jordan and would watch every game he played just to see him slice through the opposing teams defense like hot knife through butter. He does that throughout every game, it was amazing to watch even for non-sports fan like me. Just when you think you got enough of Jordan, he pulls off another amazing play. He’s the GOAT to every non-sports fan who had the pleasure of watching Jordan play. I watched a few Lebrun games... especially the finals when he lead the Cavs from 3-0 deficit to win the championship against the Warriors. Though the “story” and journey may be storybook, but to be honest, I wouldn’t re-watch it. It wasn’t that fun to watch.
I read another person say about GOAT debate. In 20 years, would people watch Jordon’s career highlights, or Lebron’s? That’s who the GOAT is.
I don’t know how relevant it is to the GOAT debate, but Lebron is not particularly fun to watch. Don’t misunderstand me, he is an amazing player, but his brute force style of play lacks the grace and beauty of MJ’s. One could say the same of Shaq, who was totally dominant in his prime. Shaq was athletic, but his greatness derived from his massive size and strength. I agree that future generations will more likely watch MJ’s highlights over Lebron’s. BTW, if I had to choose between prime LBJ and prime KD, I would take Durant in a heartbeat.
You are the most fun to watch these highlights with. I was privileged to watch the GOAT during his playing years and it is great to relive them with new eyes watching.
MJ : jabsteps defenders out of the gym
Guy reacting : put a hand up!
MJ23 spectacular moves unique the GOAT 💯 ever ♥️
Now do Jonny arnett- why MJs the goat vid I’ll think he’ll put it into another form I’ll think you’ll like and all also mj top 100 feats that bron can’t surpass you may be hella impressed
Yes
This is right before the Piston’s started putting him on his ass. He had to get his build up these 3 season’s.
He did already
@@Threezus17 where link
@@youngcactusjack look on his channel lazy ass
We need that pt 2 definitely
You should do a few reactions on Pippin's offense and defense too. He is slept on. I still believe that a prime Pip would lock LBJ up. Lol.
Bron would cry to the refs after every time down the floor
@@cygnus_x1227 Yes, sir... That dude be flopping for calls all the time and he does too much crying to the refs... He'll start getting the calls after working the refs but then miss his free throws. Lol. Missing that clutch gene a little bit... Smh.
"Where's my foul?!"
They didn't call ticky tack fouls back then. They allowed the physical play.
Def drop part 2. Fire season. Want to see the rest of it
even until now I try to emulate his move every time I try to score. Quick, Simple and Accurate
看100遍也不覺得厭煩 。 MY GOAT FOREVER ~💯🌟
Enjoy your vids, bud!
You've hit on a subject near & dear to my heart as a lifelong Chicagoan who, as rough as it is to admit to myself, is hitting 50y/o this year & grew up watching MJs career. (Recommended reaction video- swap over to football and watch Walter Payton highlights- he wasn't just Bears running back, but he was also their emergency QB- and did take some snaps- but he was often listed as their emergency kicker and was known to kick 40+ yd FGs in practice... not only fast and smooth (his nickname was "Sweetness," after all,) but he'd look to take out opposing linebackers as he ran. You'll have a blast watching him!)
MJ *IS* the GOAT, especially with those of us lucky enough to have seen him play, (as well as Kobe & LBJ,) and for those of us falling into that group, it's rarely debatable.
MJ was and remains the best at just *imposing his will* on a game at any given moment, day in, day out.
Whatever you needed in a specific pivotal moment, he did.
Need a huge 3pter? He hit it.
Need to put pressure on a team? He'd get the And1 on an opposing superstar to make sure they started softening up on D and not hit the showers.
Needed the ball in the hands of one of the sharpshooters? Done.
His D was amazing. Need a bigtime steal? He snatched it.
Need an opposing crowd out of the game? He'd drain the next 5 shots.
He could start a game 2-11 shooting, then come out and dominate by putting up 20 of the next 24pts to wipe out the opponent's lead.
And he did it all, seemingly almost every night and at will.
He seemed to have his body attuned to whatever the arc & distance to the basket was during every second he was in motion to a degree that seemed supernatural... but, it was more like... his will was just as trained as his body, combined with the ability to somehow defy gravity.
I've watched my share of "the next Jordans" come and go, and there's been some great players- certainly Mamba & LBJ, but none have compared to the package MJ brought, especially in their ability to simply impose their will on the outcome of a game like him.
Absolutely THE GOAT.
MJ was the DPOY steals leader several times and was so mentally tough. Had 200 steals and 100 blocks twice. Check 87-88 season or 88-89 he almost averaged a triple double!!
He was just on another level…
Just a bit of context the first few minutes of this video... He was playing the World Champion Celtics. Bird, McHale, Parrish and DJ. Arguably the first "Superteam." Closed out 5 on 1 on him and he still dropped 50
Drop that part 2. I enjoy watching your videos. I was growing up in Chicago when Jordan was with the Bulls. Must see TV every game on WGN. When Mike and the Bulls were playing, Atleast in my neighborhood (Noble square) no one Was Outside for those two hours. Even the gang banners bangers. All you heard were people cheering in their homes. Jordan is the GOAT
This is why I'll always say until the day I die that Michael Jordan is and always will be the G.O.A.T
There’s enough highlights in the first part of this one season video for most players careers. You have to finish what you started my dude.
GOAT 🐐 Mike Midrange is like Steph 3 ball is 🔥🔥
why does it make me smile when i watch in real time someone from this gen learn something i grew up watching live lol
MJ's fundamentals are so sound that all his steps look so light footed yet when he rises up and absorbs contact, you'll see how strong, balanced, and in control he is in mid-air, then lands gracefully like nothing happened.
I love the reactions that you make while showing these videos !! You are enjoyable to watch !!
That’s season he won everything except an NBA title and a finals MVP. he won the NBA MVP ,scoring title, dunk contest, All-Star MVP, defense player of the year. Hr had 200 steals and 100 blocks that year. he is just totally unstoppable averaged 35 points a game and not even shooting many threes. if he was shooting threes he probably average 40 to 50 easy he’s the most unstoppable player ever. And he blessed us with the threes (shoes) that year. 🐐
Shaun livingston played with jordan in Washington dc with the wizard brodie btw
Somebody send him the video on when they had Jordan rules to stop Jordan from scoring and they was beating him down to stop him from scoring. Perfect reaction
In addition to how impressive the shots themselves are, consider how demoralizing it is to the players on the opposing team who are trying to stop him?
I respect the fact that you acknowledge facts. I’m an old head but Jordan is the goat no question. Love your videos also
One thing about MJ he could shoot from any where on the court & post you up,,left side right center top hell off the court in the drive way etc...... Salute young man for doing your research
This was the best all-around individual season of all-time.
Thought it would be this year.. He was feeling pretty damn comfortable in the league by then and come off injury season year before.. dude just went nuts.. after this people knew hes more than just a guy who can jump and shoot alot.. wasnt FULLY matured in his game but still had mad athleticism.. By the time he fully matured was starting to lose a little of the physical edge, by time he was master in 2nd 3peat body was definately past those days.
This season statistically and visually was something special... even without chips.
I love the way you react every time mike shoot or dunk the ball
Absolutely part 2 🙏
I grew up watching mj, you're mind was blown away every game by the crazy moves. If you wanna watch a great championship game or shall I say games watch them all. I really liked when they played the lakers in 91. Every game was a battle till the buzzer. Basketball today is just too damn soft. Watch every single game vs the lakers. Don't worry the lakers were full of greats. Magic, worthy, vlade divac, Sam Perkins, just to name a few. Hell watch all the championship games can't go wrong. I never missed a game of his growing up. Glad I got to watch him. Every game something amazing happened.im glad you're doing research and realize mj is the goat.
While you're doing this, look up Tex Winters. He's the genius behind the triangle offense, which is what allowed all of this to happen the way it did. Completely under appreciated.
Love your videos nephew👊🏾👊🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Young Man, MJ destroyed my pistons back in the day... These highlights were before the bad boys were born, so he didn't start getting bodyslammed until 1989-90 lol. He would drop 35 on the pistons like it was nothin
what you need to watch is Jordan Takes it Personal moments. For me, this really defines Jordan. No one, (IMO) besides Kobe, can match the intensity and competitive drive to Jordan's. He quite literally play as if a demon lived within his soul every night, but would release that demon if someone pushed him.
Takes a man to be willing to change his mind and be open minded new sub here keep it up bro 1 more edit lol please do a Ray allen vid he was my favorite player and was great
Oh yeah mentioned D in last vid i think but he was defensive player of the year a few times and in the running several more he could lock folks down
200 plus steals and 100 plus blocks that year and the next!
MJ was ALWAYS in attack mode!
Jordan's the best midrange shooter that ever lived. People question his 3PT shooting but his midrange game was beyond godlike.
Need part 2!!!!
This is why there were AIR JORDAN's and why a movie came out featuring MJ called SPACE JAM. And too, Michael deserves the yacht ... a very big yacht.
I miss MJ games on Saturday on NBC
Bruh its amazing couple weeks ago u had 1k subs now u at 4k. Keep up the good work
When will we see another player like mike!? I womder if i will still be around when that time comes... seen him play from 87 until his last retirement... i’ve basically seen 3 era’s.. but there aint nobody close to how MJ played the game.. and i was originallt a celtics fan back in the day..
Some media will have you think that he only had players like Mark price playing defense on him but if we did our homework we will see nobody is safe
yes to part 2
That Pistons team is The Bad Boys Pistons with Isiah Thomas, Joe Dumars, Bill Laimbeer, John Salley, Dennis Rodman, Adrian Dantley, Vinnie Johnson, Rick Mahorn and Sidney Green and then the next year they added Ralph Lewis and Darryl Dawkins
I love how the comment of the guy saying MJ is known for being a slow starter... Like dude did you even watch MJ
This was on 3, 4 and sometimes five players. Now with how open the paint is You seriously have people thinking he wouldn't score more....
The goat!!!!
You be killing me- “they filmed this with a “PO-TA-TO!” 🤣🤣
Have you watched his Olympic game… not the dream team, his rookie year.
- just know, jordan was coming out of college, so he wasn’t yet a “pro” and the pros of magic, bird, etc. never won a game…
This is actually might count that Jordan had actually played against a “Super Team”. He played against an early dream team in their prime too right?
@@gene081976 no… the dream team was an Olympic team, which jordan was on.
@@maskedassassinsclan1185 I mean the “practice games” they played against prior to the Olympics against practically a super team and beat them all. You wouldn’t consider the all-star pros they played against a dream team either?
I'm telling you man you need to watch game one of the 92NBA finals
And some of those early Knicks series. 1992 vs Knicks. The whole series was insane but Game 7 Jordan is ridiculously dominant on both ends. He played some great defense and wound up with 42 pts, 3 Blks, 2 stls on 51% shooting. That or 1993 vs Knicks game 4 (54 points, on 18-of-30 shooting) or Game 5 (10Reb, 14Ast, 2 Stl, 29Pts).
Or his last game at MSG in 1998
@@secoTheSonicFan 93 jordan is the best player to ever be on a court
@@secoTheSonicFan 1988-1993 was pretty much his athletic prime where he had the skill to compliment it. 1996-1998 was where he really reached ungodly levels in terms of his Basketball IQ and controlling momentum. Although, he was still athletic as hell through even the later years relative to most players. His upper body also got stronger and while he didn't have as much lift he could still sling jumpshot fadeaways from like 15-18 feet (just watch his 1997 playoff highlights - it's nearly 10 minutes of jumpers and fadeaways on anyone and everyone).
1993 was weird, however. He had just competed in the 1992 Olympics and often talked about how mentally and physically drained he was in 93. Supposedly he had also been considering retirement during the season. I'm sure all that had a good deal to do with his waning enthusiasm as well as his athleticism.
He still averaged 41ppg in the finals, though. And beat Dominique, the Cavs and the Knicks and the MVP Barkley. So it's not like he didn't have an insane playoff run. He looked like he was finally reaching his peak IQ by 92 through 93, though. More surgical and calculated. In 91 he was great but if you watch those games against the Lakers he was still making a lot of mistakes. By 92 he was just winning games with his momentum. Teams would be beat in the first half (Like the Blazers game 1 in 92). And he only became more cunning and surgical from then on.
Keep in mind, too, even though his numbers weren't as mind boggling compared to years prior, in the 1996-97 playoffs he almost became the first guard to ever lead his team in pts, rebs, assts, blks, and stls in a playoff championship run.
At age 34 he was only a few rebounds short of outrebounding Rodman (who was really inconsistent in those playoffs, only averaging like 8.5 with 3 Offensive rebounds. Jordan averaged 7.9 with like 2 ORB) and only like a couple blocks short of leading in that, too (Pippen barely beat him with totals but they both averaged 0.9 as the highest).
The only player to do that (Lead in those 5 categories) and win a championship was Hakeem in 93-94 as far as I can find.
@@secoTheSonicFan what? U r thinking of 95 dude when he came back out of retirement for 17 regular season games.. in 93 jordan was a freak of nature n won a ring n avg 41 ppg in the finals vs the suns...93 season was b4 he retired.. u people r confused...Im like a jordan encyclopedia u r confused bud
I highly recommend you react to Tracy McGrady 2002-2003 GOAT SZN he was ELITE
I hear you saying players names and mentioning that you've never seen them play and I just raise my eyebrows in amazement. Take the rosters from Dream Teams 1 & 2 and make a list of the players. Everyone of them will have an amazing array of highlights worthy of reaction videos. Most will be hall of famers by now and if they're not, they probably should be. Anyway, keep doing what you're doing. Its nice to see your reactions to players from what I consider the best era of NBA basketball.
You're witnessing the birth of "The Jordan Rules". The majority if those highlights were against the Pistons, who were a defensive juggernaut at the time. He torched them game after game after game and made them look like a bunch of college players. In a way, I understand, Chuck Daly was simply out of answers.
MJ+🏀=🐐
He is the only player ive ever seen at all times he was the best player. Hands down Mike is unstoppable. 50 burgers in his sleep. Making it look easy. Dayuuuuuuuum
He was lighting up one of the best defenses in NBA history in Detroit
And yea part 2 fasho
They didn't call him his airness for nothing hang time was crazy
still the highest vert ever recorded for the NBA
We knew every game Jordan was going to do something special. Unless you lived it it’s hard to understand.
