These clips were taken from Ahmad Rashad's interview with Michael Jordan in 2013, when he turned 50. I do not own the copyright to any of the contents of this video.
Michael Jordan is the most athletic human being I've ever seen. When you take his leaping ability, hang time, speed, agility, body control, hand-eye coordination, strength, and quickness and consider the fact that he's 6' 6", his athleticism was absolutely off the charts. Then when you combine that unmatched athletic ability with his phenomenal work ethic and competitive fire, you get the greatest player of all time.
MJ: "WHEN YOU HAVE LOVE FOR ANYTHING YOU'LL GO TO THE EXTREME, TO MAINTAIN THAT LOVE. THAT'S WHAT LOVE DOES, IT'S LOVE DRIVES YOU TO DO EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO, TO MAINTAIN THAT CONNECTION".
Im not from Chicago nor I am from the US of A but MJs inspiration grew all over the world so I wont be wondering if he inspired people from Chicago to be better lucky city to have such inspiration as the GOAT himself
This guy was hyper-intelligent. He understood that it was a battle between himself and his desires, and that his mind was in control, and he knew that no one else understood that the same way he did, and that alone put him on another level. He was at the pinnacle of self control/self manipulation, where others would let things get in the way, fear/doubt/complacency/fatigue, etc. He mastered the ability to make his mind and body do whatever it needed to to achieve his desire. If I were a neuroscientist, or even a psychologist I'd be all over Jordan, asking to study him. One in a 100 billion mind.
True I noticed that about MJ. It’s like his mind and body are in perfect motion together like a car. I just wish I had the same physical attributes my dream was to be a basketball player
I like that. That looked like back in the days when video and photographs are b&w. MJ's so confident he can smoke a cigar and play around with a baseball bat in the freakin' locker room! MJ's the GOAT!
His competitiveness started out playing against his older brother Larry......then him not making the varsity squad only fueled his desire to make sure that it will never happen again.
mj was the friend you didn't want to play nintendo wth. you'd end up giving him a purple nurple because you didn't quite want to punch your friend.....but you wanted him to feel something..lol
BASELINE JORDAN!!!!! No, true story about him being competitive with his older brother. It’s the reason why he wore 23 which was half of 45. 45 divided by two is 22.5.
I've been there, got that same fire, but my fire faded, MJs never did. It stayed burning hot as fk for decades. I'll never understand how he stayed so driven.
He was so good that never allowed a game 7 WHEN IT MATTERED. But, I can only imagine how this man would play on a game 7 of the finals. He would have destroyed everyone.
You can see it when they play against indiana at semi finals game 7. He may not scored well but on defense he gave his all. Reggie miller is point less in the 4th qtr. They maybe older ( mike, rodman, and pip compared to indiana) but they have the heart of a legend. The desire to win nothngs compare. Look how exausted Mike after the game. During the game you cant see that they are tired.
Dashing_Davey Just to clarify, the Bulls lost to the Pistons in 6 games in 1989. They took them to 7 games in the Eastern Conference Finals in 1990 but lost. Then in 1991 the Bulls finally got their revenge and swept the 2-time defending champion Pistons en route to their 1st of 3 straight championships. Being born and raised in Chicago since 1983 these are some of my best memories, hard to forget.

Notice how he said the coach, then him, then Scottie etc. Even Jordan respected his coaching. Something these kids today don’t do and why they will never be on the levels of Jordan, Bird, and Magic.
kkash72 yesterday Lebron proclaim himself as the GOAT lol😊😊😊😊 I KNOW you’re the GOAT =going on another team 😊😊😊very delusional ! I feel sorry to LEBRON
This man, no excuses, no bs! MJ found solutions and ways to make it happen! Every time this man's foot touched the court you knew something amazingly magical was going to happen.
It seems to me that guys like MJ, Tiger Woods, Nikki Lauda, Christiano Ronlado have similar mindsets...borderline insane ultra competitive streak, obsession with work ethic and need to be the best of the best. Also they all seem to give zero thought of what haters think of them. God I wish I had that passion!!!
I dont know why it never struck me before, but when The Flu game ended Jordan falls into Pippens arms, it really shows how close they were. Not a lot of people can get close to MJ, not a lot of teammates especially, but Pippen and MJ loved each other.
They more or less grew up in the league together. LeBron fans seem to think that Pippen was an established star when he came to Chicago. Pippen was one of those late blooming prospects that needed polishing. Pippen was a draft day trade that was made by the 80s version of Danny Ainge.
the moves and the footwork are amazing.. forget hang time... he would kill anybody and any team in today's game... although ZONE defense... is a hero killer!... but it's jordan... he'd overcome that too...
It's not their fault most of them weren't around when MJ was at his peak, I'm a Knicks diehard fan, hated Jordan but can't but RESPECT him as D 1onlyGOAT bare none period. Mj was so good and driven they have to change the game for him "JORDAN RULE " So far I haven't heard of any LeBron rule yet ???🤔🤔🤔😎 Until then no comparison.
The reason MJ is the greatest is because he's the only guy youd have to actually kill if you managed to get him in a finals game 7 to take a title from.
@Niko Gambino it's very disrespectful to even kompare Lebron to MJ. The only reason they kompare Lebron to MJ is bekause Lebron is the best in the game today. Lebron is good but not the goat. Why do Lebron where #23 bekause of MJ. I watxhed their whole kareer and Lebron is not on MJ level. Kobe Bryant is the next thing to MJ hands down. MJ will always be in the diskussion of basketball.
Michael Jordan had the skill set as the Best Player of all time. People acknowledge him as the GOAT because his passion and attitude for the game made him the Champion he was. He competed against himself. The only player with a similar passion and attitude for the game was Kobe Bryant. His legacy as the GOAT, will never be matched.
I disagree with u abt the competitiveness. Magic and Bird were just as competitive and they hated losing to each other. Bird still mad cus he lost to Magic in the ncaa championship and Magic still let him know he beat him.....lol
@@leroymckenziejr.jnfenterpr567 yep. Bird n magic were indeed hyper competitive similar to MJ. Kobe was too, but I'm not convinced he was on the other threes level.. I watched pretty much every playoff game Jordan ever played, he never folded, shyed away, submitted, disappeared. But Kobe has. I watched him throw in the towel to the Celtics. Right in the same situations I've seen Jordan in, except Jordan pushed harder when that happened, he dug deep and willed his team to victory, or to at least go down swinging. I'll never forget sitting there saying ok Kobe u gotta do something now's the Time(same thing I used to say in bulls games), but he never even tried. He was deflated. N so was I, I lost all belief that he was anywhere close to MJ.
MJ is the GOAT but I loved watching Clyde "The Glide" Drexler too. Drexler was an elite player and he's a class act. No one is, or was, as good as Jordan. Clyde was one step down, in the Jordan era, and Portland was the perfect City for him. He's a smart guy and could have been more of a star but he always struck me as an introvert. He wanted to, and played to, win but I never sensed he wanted the spotlight, tons of commercials a big shoe deal etc. He's always listed as a SG but I think he was more of an undersized, absurdly athletic SF. His shot was super unorthodox. His Portland teams always contended and, like so many, Jordan kept a ring from Clyde. I've seen him once in Seattle and once in Portland. People love him!! I hope he's healthy and wealthy!
What makes MJ special is that he never forgot about Scottie Pippen during his Enshrinement Speech. After everything was said and done.. Teams win Championships.
I remember MJ battling New York some of the best I seen.MJ had that fire not to lose by any means necessary.The G.O.A.T....So blessed to have watched MJ play..
Jhen Dela Rosa yeah and meanwhile while LeBron is losing in the finals he says I'm averaging a triple double yeah you are but are those triple doubles consists of wins for your team only one but you lose in 5
You can say "It's only a game." when you're the one that lost. Have you ever hear anyone say that and they're the winner?! MJ's the best because he brought it every night! MJ's team may have lost the game that night but he makes sure he brought it that night. Sometimes, the other team's better than your team that night. But, MJ will pay you back next time they meet. You piss off MJ, MJ will never forget and he'll bury you every time you play against him/his team. Did you hear the part when he said "we don't mess around. We're up ten points before the game even starts." That's the killer mentality that separates the great from the very good. MJ is the GOAT!
Ewing was/still is my favorite player of all-time. I was such a diehard fan of those 90's Knicks teams growing up. Im still not over them coming up short and holy crap i hated Jordan, but i look back and respect him...just simply the G.O.A.T...
To him, the greatest thing abt basketball is passion and love. To the world, the greatest thing abt basketball is MJ. As a basketball fan, I'm lucky Jordan played my sport.
This is truly my favorite.Thanks to Michael Jordan for extremely valuable information which is the truth and the person (man or woman) who upload this video to CZcams.
I’m a musician and I model my playing after what Micheal Jordan says. Especially when he said “practice as if you’re playing for real, so the time comes to do it for real it’s not new to you.”
The mind of a true competitor from playground era..m Not that join your team aau why cant we be friends era. Naw even if you are friends with mike he still trying to drop 50 on your head.
MJ and Brady have a lot alike when you listen to them speak - practice, preparation, teammates, knowing your opponent...this is what separates the good ones from the great ones.
Very articulate and educated when he speaks. No uhms and ahhs, straight to the point, evry statement is sensible. He plays as a leader and speaks as a leader.. GOAT in evry sense of the word! 👏👏👏👌
Passion!!! No other word to subscribe this!!! You are the best basketball 🏀 player in the world !!!hands down!! ..and thank you for the greatest memories ever !! U are in inspiration to all basketball player of how you should play the game!!! With passion!!MJ23!!!
Kid Peligro - Agree. Without the Pistons Jordan still would have had an unbelievable career. Probably would have even won a title or 2. But it was Detroit that created the ruthless, cut-throat, maniacally obsessed, do anything it takes to win, assassin that we all know and love today..
Len Bias would've definitely given him a run for the money. We must never forget Len Bias. M. J. had the mind of a complete athlete and competitor. The mind is always the priority over just the body.
Absolutely true. Very early in my life, I recognized the value and the uniqueness of life. I made a decision. I wanted to be free. If you want to be free, independent and autonomous, you need to educate yourself! Don't hesitate. Go for it!
"Work ethic eliminates fear" If Michael Jordan never played basketball he would have been a great man doing something else. His parents raised him right and his siblings as well.
twobigjets Jordan mindset of why he didn't slack ANY games " I play hard every night because maybe there's some kid or someone who's never seen me play before"
I hate basketball with a passion......BUT ill stop and watch JORDAN play anytime...HE WAS THAT GREAT. To make a non basketball fan stop and watch a whole game is saying something. the TRUE AND ONE AND ONLY BASKETBALL GOAT
Did you notice when he was talking about the other great players, Magic, Bird, Patrick, etc. he didn't mention Isaiah? Because Isaiah isn't anywhere close to that level of player. Thus the shun for the Olympic team. MJ is, and always will be, the GOAT.
"Work ethic elminates fear. If you put forth the work, then what are you fearing? You know what you're capable of doing and what your not."
THATS RIGHT
Work ethic eliminates fear. If you put forth the work, then what are you fearing? You know what you're capable of doing and what you're not.
It seems as if Michael Jordan let everyone know where they belong!!
This is why him and Kobe are in a completely different class than the rest!
That's golden rt there!!!!
Michael Jordan is the most athletic human being I've ever seen. When you take his leaping ability, hang time, speed, agility, body control, hand-eye coordination, strength, and quickness and consider the fact that he's 6' 6", his athleticism was absolutely off the charts.

Well said.
You forgot to add his intelligence, basketball IQ, leadership, shooting ability, discipline, seriousness and clutch factor.
Go look up wilt chamberlain then check back w me
“I practice as if I'm playing a game, so when the moment comes in the game, its not new to me."
Luc longley said that practice was easier than game played
@Ulysses432 you understood my thoughts
"Practice!?"
What does that mean for? I cant really understand it.

MJ: "WHEN YOU HAVE LOVE FOR ANYTHING YOU'LL GO TO THE EXTREME, TO MAINTAIN THAT LOVE. THAT'S WHAT LOVE DOES, IT'S LOVE DRIVES YOU TO DO EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO, TO MAINTAIN THAT CONNECTION".
listening to MJ talk explains perfectly why he's the goat!!
Exactly!
Mike said he physically couldn't compete with the Pistons. He got in the weight room & got bigger & stronger. Champion bred no excuses he elevated.
Thats a champion talking. Champion in life for me. He talks about his passion like he is still playing. Thats obsession brother.
Listening to a legend wow mentally trick himself to be better strong headed strong on court
“Work ethic eliminates fear.” Thank you MJ!
"work ethic eliminate d fear." - MJ was, is and forever be d GOAT 👊👊👊
I'll show you my goat.
Growing up in the heart of Chicago, it was this man alone that kept me out of trouble and hanging with the wrong crowds.
Wow.
Im not from Chicago nor I am from the US of A but MJs inspiration grew all over the world so I wont be wondering if he inspired people from Chicago to be better lucky city to have such inspiration as the GOAT himself
It was awesome living in Chicago in that era , everyone wanted to be like Mike it was fun playing ball at that time .
And a bigger man you turned out to be.👍

True I noticed that about MJ. It’s like his mind and body are in perfect motion together like a car. I just wish I had the same physical attributes my dream was to be a basketball player
This post is illuminating. But I would substitute "desires" with "instincts", it suits better to me. Whatever, again, great point.
This is the first time I have ever taken a screenshot of a CZcams comment
I have a question. Is it possible to gain this kind of mindset?
Jordan talking with that cigar in his mouth while swing that bat is like basketball Negan.

Cowherd said MJ would be Demar Derozan if he played in the league today. Never wanted to slap someone so bad in my life
Exactly why I dont watch him anymore. He constantly saying bullshit he knows isn't true just to cause a debate.
Shannon, cowherd, nick wrong are bullshits!
New Breed probally would yall talk bout jordan as if that nigga perfect or and god or sum yall jordan fans the worst ever
Jordan would average 45 points and didn't need to shoot 3pt because he would get 10 and one every games on this soft nba era.
He would let Lebron and Tom Brady run a train on him
"work ethic eliminates fear" GOD DAMN.
This is truly my favorite.Thanks to Michael Jordan for extremely valuable information which is the truth and the person (man or woman) who upload this video to CZcams.
I’m a musician and I model my playing after what Micheal Jordan says. Especially when he said “practice as if you’re playing for real, so the time comes to do it for real it’s not new to you.”
Perfect lesson of personal motivation course from the greatest of all time.
He's super bright. Much more so than the newer so-called 'goat'.
The greatest I ever seen....
Michael Jordan is the GOAT hands down no body could touch his legacy
0:25 there you have it. MJ is the goat. No more discussions!
I've seen everything this man did in the league but it never gets old.
The mind of a true competitor from playground era..m Not that join your team aau why cant we be friends era. Naw even if you are friends with mike he still trying to drop 50 on your head.
"WORK ETHIC ELIMINATES FEAR"
I cried watching this.
You can't watch this and say anyone else is the BEST. MJ is TBE
MJ and Brady have a lot alike when you listen to them speak - practice, preparation, teammates, knowing your opponent...this is what separates the good ones from the great ones.
Very articulate and educated when he speaks. No uhms and ahhs, straight to the point, evry statement is sensible. He plays as a leader and speaks as a leader.. GOAT in evry sense of the word! 👏👏👏👌
fish ball 🐐
We have so much to lern from this interview
"...send a message coming in to play us your 10 points down..." Straight 🐐 talk 👈💯#theGoat
He might say he aint but he cut throat. He would crush your spirit and not even care.
MJ=G.O.A.T
Passion!!! No other word to subscribe this!!! You are the best basketball 🏀 player in the world !!!hands down!! ..and thank you for the greatest memories ever !! U are in inspiration to all basketball player of how you should play the game!!! With passion!!MJ23!!!
man, this one's a beast. i wish i couldve seen him play
the part he told about his experience against Detroit is why he became Goat. Every year he made it a point to become stronger than he was prior.
Kid Peligro - Agree. Without the Pistons Jordan still would have had an unbelievable career. Probably would have even won a title or 2. But it was Detroit that created the ruthless, cut-throat, maniacally obsessed, do anything it takes to win, assassin that we all know and love today..

Len Bias would've definitely given him a run for the money. We must never forget Len Bias. M. J. had the mind of a complete athlete and competitor. The mind is always the priority over just the body.
Jordan beat len bias in college.. I don't know if len made it into the nba that would be something worth to see
🐐
All that needs to be said.
How lucky I grew up in Chicago and Jordan played for us. Can't imagine if he played for someone else. So lucky.
Jordan's bulls and prime Iron Mike Tyson were my favorite sports memories ever.
Michael
Take your pick, Jackson, Tyson, Jordan, Game 6
-Jay-Z
...I throw Michael Jackson in there for sure.
DFTA true! Our generation was spoiled watching these all time goats.
GOAT
Ever imagine what he would do in a game 7 of nba finals?
haha yeah
Absolutely true. Very early in my life, I recognized the value and the uniqueness of life. I made a decision. I wanted to be free. If you want to be free, independent and autonomous, you need to educate yourself!
Don't hesitate. Go for it!
Think about this. In the same season Jordan won mvp defensive player of the year and the scoring title. That will never ever happen again
"Work ethic eliminates fear" If Michael Jordan never played basketball he would have been a great man doing something else. His parents raised him right and his siblings as well.
Jordan Did Attempt Baseball
Balls of Life great video. U should do more of these types of fan vids
His movements on the court were so graceful, was pure artistry. No one has ever come close except Kobe (RIP) to some degree....
And lebron said this year jordan arguably the greatest.. but in this clib he described him as the goat without hesitation
WTF?? Why didn't Jordan ask for shorter seasons, rest nights, and less back to back games?
+Isaiah James Shortened the season and tell them stop crying.... lol smh
twobigjets because hes not a bitch. and bitches complain. there weak
twobigjets Jordan mindset of why he didn't slack ANY games
" I play hard every night because maybe there's some kid or someone who's never seen me play before"
miamibitch305fl 100%
Why didn't he take plays off and my play defense to save energy! ?
Blissful solitude of legend competitive mind Jordan
Oh dayum glad I found this video
I hate basketball with a passion......BUT ill stop and watch JORDAN play anytime...HE WAS THAT GREAT. To make a non basketball fan stop and watch a whole game is saying something. the TRUE AND ONE AND ONLY BASKETBALL GOAT
Did you notice when he was talking about the other great players, Magic, Bird, Patrick, etc. he didn't mention Isaiah? Because Isaiah isn't anywhere close to that level of player. Thus the shun for the Olympic team. MJ is, and always will be, the GOAT.
"They say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing everyday."
That statement at 5:02 was str8 GOATISH
So true. Lol.
they need to invite him to talks so that youngsters know the mentality behind being the GOAT
He's been running a youth basketball camp for almost 2 decades..
