MJ never ran and hid from anybody in the nba. Always consistent. Never stayed away from a regular game. Gave his best all the time. Thats a legend. Thats a role model.

Yea top 50 plays are trash.. they'll show a wide open Jumper because it was an important moment and replay it 5 times The full highlights/mixtapes show way more plays

Brothers the key to success is when you see the true right in front of your eyes don’t deny it!! The world is watching you and want to trust in you observation. MJ is the goat!!
The thing is with these, this is what Mike did ALL THE TIME. To those who unfortunately didn’t see him play, these are highlights. To us who were there, some of these were just another Friday night
It's a great point. I've never seen a more consistently great player in the NBA or possibly any other sport. He almost NEVER had a bad night. When he did how many times did he suddenly turn it on in the 4th quarter to get the win, or follow up the off night with a 40 or 50 point game?
I had season tickets to the Bulls in old Chicago Stadium and that place would rock just in the introductions. I still goosebumps when I would watch replays
MJ is the GOAT, it isn't close. The highlights don't do him justice, he was that good. I wish we could see MJ square up against Lebron, you will see what us old timers are talking about.
Jordan's years was the best years of my life. No other player has held a candle to him in my eyes. The dude was a determined beast. Played, slept, breathed ball.
nothing but straight FACTS!!! Michael Jordan was a GLOBAL phenomenon. I live in Suriname and I stayed up early in the morning (2am ~ 3am) to watch the Chicago Bulls.
@@MarioCastillion if I was where you were, I would have absolutely done the same. I literally have not had a favorite player since then. Maybe I am to picky now lol
One of the most amazing things of MJ is that we haven’t seen any other player until this day that can do some of the things he did. For example, in football (soccer how some lame people call it), you can see over the time how some players add to their skills some plays, dribblings, feints, etc. from other players of the past and some of them even improve them. In Jordan’s case, I haven’t seen other player do the things he did or at least do them like him. He really is one of a kind.
These young guys REALLY don't know how physical it was in that era. For Jordan to do that then was insane. He gets 45 a game in this league between the calls and lack of physicality.
Stop exaggerating. You couldn't breath on MJ in the 90's. He lead the league or was top 3 in free throw attempts almost every year. 90's NBA was watered down garbage
@@QuiveringNow the NBA has never been better then now lol. It's literally the opposite of watered down. Its fully international..the best players from Fiba if they can make their way to the NBA. Fully international game. The avg player can now dribble and shoot much much better ,is in better shape, has a higher IQ and would smoke the avg player of the 90's who most were coked out and one dimensional. 2 expansion eras. Watered down the league in the 90's. Everyone knows this. Nostalgia is playing mind games with you
@@jsgr5382better shape yet this the era of load management and all the star players constantly staying hurt and taking games off AD, KD, Kawahi, Paul George, Ben Simmons, Klay, Steph, Lebron, Harden, Kyrie, Embid, Zion, John Wall, are all top tier players who over the last 5-6 seasons have missed significant amounts of game’s multiple times only players that are considered mostly available to play are Gianni’s, booker, Tatum, Donovan Mitchell and Luka even tho he missed first round of the playoffs last year all the elite players back in the day played MJ played all 82 games like 9 or 10 seasons in his career these days we lucky if any of the superstars play 50 games
@@sheaturner3229 Way to cherrypick one of the many points I made lol. All the tough guys of the 90's careers ended after 12-13 years. Guys will play alot longer today. Highlighting injuries of today as if injuries didn't exist in that era is bs. I guess it wasn't so tough after all if players never got hurt lol. Point is basketball isnt a tough guy sport. A little contact was a foul in the 60, 70, 80, 90, 00 and today. Any violence is a suspension in any era. Why you talking as if the rules were different in the 90's. In fact that era avg much more free throws then now..The refs called everything. Especially on MJ. The few series he had it tough he literally went to commissioner to change the rules. They avg alot of fouls cause players were slow footed , unathletic and piss poor defenders so they had to foul cause perimeter defending was non existant. But ya I'm sure your cherry picked example of a few players missing games really proves your point lol.
As a European i had to stay up until 2,3,4 in the morning sometimes to watch MJ play. 1 of the best athletes the world has ever seen, not just b-ball player...MJ the goat & shout out to Scottie Pippen as well, those 2 was the driving force on the 90's Chicago Bulls team...Legends
Mike was Different, I'm Glad I Got to watch him in his prime, he was unstoppable. The Goat Debate isn't even close, Michael Jeffrey Jordan is the Greatest of all time 🐐

Jordan just hits different. He was playing a whole different game from everyone else. And his competition was fierce! Magic, Bird, Stockton and Malone, Barkley, Ewing, Thomas, Wilkins, the list of greats goes on and on, but Jordan sits alone at the top - king on his throne.
You can’t even begin to imagine what it was like to witness MJ dunk on Patrick Ewing and Dikembe Motombo!!! Just an amazing spectacle on both sides of the floor!!!!!
Thank God for slow-motion instant replay and multiple camera angles. It frequently took at least three different replays to realize everything he did on a play.
I graduated HS in 93 so i know everything MJ and Lebron and even though i didnt like either,MJ is EASILY better!!!! Anyone who watches highlights of both can see this!
It's more than the highlights. You had to see MJ play at the time - night after night, year after year, patiently and loyally building Chicago's success. He had a will to win like noone else. He could take complete control of a game - on both ends.
@@joevalerio8023 yes Larry Bird beat him 2 years in row., with a stacked team who was use to winning! But when Jordan got help, what happened? What was the best compliment Larry Bird ever said about a player he played against? I know you know.
@@ZoRenol69😂😂 Danny Ainge, Dennis Johnson, Robert Parrish? They had McHale and Bird. Tell me you didn’t play basketball without telling me you didn’t play basketball.
Watching Jordan was like watching a magician…. He could do anything… shoot anything… whenever it came down to last second cultch he would somehow always get that ball in even with 5 dudes on him… it was insane watching this man, he could fly!!! He was the most intelligent basketball player ever saturated with pure athleticism and out of this world skills….shit brings a tear to my eye remembering watching him play!!!!!
There's a reason 99% of us that have seen both play say MJ. It's not even close. These highlights don't tell the tale, he owned the court like no one ive ever seen.
Gentlemen, great video! I gotta say that during his playing days MJ was getting hacked left and right! This dude was fighting so hard for the plays he was making AND he was making them look like art! He was the first to do such smooth and flawless moves, shots, dribbles, defense! He was breath taking to watch!!! Everything else that came after him was a version of him!!! So its impossible to compare!!! Everybody watched closely And emulated everything this man did!
I was lucky enough to have lived outside of Chicago between 86-90. I wasn't really a Bulls fan per se, but Jordan basically opened my eyes to recognizing a once in a lifetime talent on live tv. You know someone is truly legendary if you can realize it watching them in their prime. Barry Sanders, Walter Payton, Joe Montana, Bo Jackson, Larry Bird... players like these, were truly a privilege to have watched them play in their prime.
That's what most people forget. Is on top of the offense he played the lethal defense and that does indeed make him it. And you look at the league then he was playing in and how tough it was compared to nowadays... you can't come close enough you can't get in the paint you can't touch them?
Jordan...absolutely no question. I'm in my 50's and watched many games with Jordan in his prime including the championship games. Dudes, he was like the Muhammad Ali of the NBA...changed the game.
Except Jordan didn’t win his first title by his opponent being PAID TO LOSE…that Liston fight was ridiculous…got hit with a phantom punch and went down….one of the more obvious fixes in pro sports….and there’s been a TON…NFL is classified as “SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT “, NO other pro sport is except WWE….what does that tell you…
Greatest player I’ve ever seen play and imo greatest of all time. I was lucky to have WGN in my town so I could see the Chicago cubs and the Chicago Bulls play. Every game Jordan played on we would rush home to watch because there’s only 50 moments here but this stuff happened every game, it was just what’s he gonna do this game. You didn’t even have to watch every play we would eat dinner and casually watch and every time they took it down the court MJ would do something magical. GOAT IMO
WGN was a superstation/national...it just was cable outside of Chicago instead basic TV. That I also was lucky to grow up in Chicago during this era. Agreed.
Here's what people feel to realize his rookie season he averaged almost 30 a year after leaving College and being clamped down by James Madison and held to 16 points because the man could not score against the Zone because he wasn't a great outside shooter but zone defense was illegal in the NBA you couldn't double team a man off the ball I guarantee you if they bring back that illegal defense rule Steph Curry wins at least six more championships before he retires
@@carllangley6812 yall swear mj is better than steph and that is an illusion. it just doesn't add up, no matter how you look at it. i dont care about the 6-0 finals run against hiv positive magic johnson and plumbers. its no comparison. steph never had a horace grant who averaged 14.2 points and 10 rebounds on 57.8% shooting on only 9.8 attempts a game in 81 games in the 91-92 season. or a pippen who was the 94 all star mvp and third place league mvp. mike went to play ball and the bulls won 55 games. steph got hurt and the warriors won 15 and some of those wins were from the 5 games he played before hurting his hand lol. mj was the greatest in the 90's when they had 5 expansion teams added from 88-95 is when became a winner. before that he was a ball hogging loser who claimed he lost because his teammates was on drugs and alcohol lol. zero comparison.
MJ never gave up on his team. Never flopped. Never rested. Played Defense. No excuses. No teaming up. No bs. The Absolute GOAT.
That is right, NBA players back then were truly hardwood gladiators.

What a lot of young people don’t see is that the guys that MJ was dunking on and shooting over, were REALLY great players in their own right!!
I was lucky to watch MJ era. No one else like him. Never will be.
Michal Jordan always came through in a clutch way better than anyone else and his work ethic has remained unmatched.
Always??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Larry legend was the ckutchiest.
Only dude I know that has a "top 10 buzzer beaters" video.
@@thefreakyrobber0 compared to any other player. I watched a video where the statistician literally went through Jordan’s career and LeBron’s and counted them. LeBron wasn’t close. He touched on a few other players as well but it wasn’t close with anybody
I've seen Jordan play with The Wizards even though they were nose bleed seats it was still cool.
MJ is the GOAT!
MJ never ran and hid from anybody in the nba. Always consistent. Never stayed away from a regular game. Gave his best all the time. Thats a legend. Thats a role model.
He’s the only one who would consistently make shots behind the back and/or off balance. That’s crazy!
Saw Jordan play many times and there's no one like him and there never will be. He was the whole package, had it all. The Bulls with Michael were the most exciting team to watch.
He is very much levels above everyone else ever

MJ the GOAT!!! Watched most of these highlights LIVE in the 90's
That man is the best ever
I'm thinking about if LeBron were in these situations with people actually trying to block his shot there will be so many finger rolls in this highlight reel you wouldn't want to watch it. PS somebody slap that man neck for me for saying Kareem played in a doo doo era
You mean when you were 7? Lol foh
@@gregthegoatostertag8579 First of all I was 28 yrs old when Bulls started first 3peat. So that's fuzzy math if you thought I was 7. I said LeBron was incredible player but how do u put LeBron over Kobe much less MJ? Have a nice day
Not even close!!!!
MJ changed everything about the game of basketball EVERYTHING!!
Greatest of all time!!! I know because I witnessed him do it and hated him the whole time. Killed my 90s Knicks.
These highlights don't even begin to show how impressive he was. You guys should check out His ultimate mixtape to get a better picture.
That’s all this generation knows hence the Lebron bs
Yea top 50 plays are trash.. they'll show a wide open Jumper because it was an important moment and replay it 5 times
The full highlights/mixtapes show way more plays
It's like the Bird mixtape- really well-edited with great music
Agreed. I suggested that on their Bird or Magic mixtape.
eggzackly
MJ is undeniable & unarguably the ONE
Him
MJ all day! 6 rings, 5 mvps, 10 scoring titles. If Jordan played as long as Bron, there wouldn't be a question.
I am a Filipino. I am a girl. And I loved basketball because of MJ! He made basketball worldwide
Ppl who didn't grow up watching Jordan n watching it LIVE would never understand his greatness..he was doing things we never seen b4..super clutch, it was like he didn't miss..he made the NBA wut it is 2day..players imitated his move so of course it looks better now..but back then it was unheard of..MJ is the GOAT 🐐
Say that shit!!
umm, there's some moves that players still can't do today that look better than Jordan did it ... that layup against the Nets just to name one.
I was at MSG when he returned from retirement and dropped what was it 54 or 56 points? Special is an understatement 😅

Brothers the key to success is when you see the true right in front of your eyes don’t deny it!! The world is watching you and want to trust in you observation. MJ is the goat!!
MJ without question is the GOAT. Six championship rings!
The thing is with these, this is what Mike did ALL THE TIME. To those who unfortunately didn’t see him play, these are highlights. To us who were there, some of these were just another Friday night
It's a great point. I've never seen a more consistently great player in the NBA or possibly any other sport. He almost NEVER had a bad night. When he did how many times did he suddenly turn it on in the 4th quarter to get the win, or follow up the off night with a 40 or 50 point game?
I had season tickets to the Bulls in old Chicago Stadium and that place would rock just in the introductions. I still goosebumps when I would watch replays
Jordan, the best basketball player ever. EVER. EVER. EVER.
MJ is the GOAT, it isn't close. The highlights don't do him justice, he was that good. I wish we could see MJ square up against Lebron, you will see what us old timers are talking about.
MJ all day, everyday. GOAT without no doubt.
I was blessed to see MJs entire career unfold. A true innovator and he changed the game forever.
I was blessed to see him play in person!
Same here, these young kids won't ever get to see that... this cripples their knowledge on real basketball
@@cut1986 I did too when he came to San Antonio
@@bankrollwels Chicago vs. Detroit 2-15-98 for me.
Jordan's years was the best years of my life. No other player has held a candle to him in my eyes. The dude was a determined beast.
Played, slept, breathed ball.
I concur. I live in Chicago and was around for the Jordan years and rallies at Grant Park.
that is kinda sad cause your life aint over...nostalgia..is a double edged sword
@@mikeschliker5176 I was referring to being a basketball fan. Not my whole entire life outside of that lmao some people are so literal, it's ok buddy.
nothing but straight FACTS!!!
Michael Jordan was a GLOBAL phenomenon. I live in Suriname and I stayed up early in the morning (2am ~ 3am) to watch the Chicago Bulls.
@@MarioCastillion if I was where you were, I would have absolutely done the same. I literally have not had a favorite player since then. Maybe I am to picky now lol
One of the most amazing things of MJ is that we haven’t seen any other player until this day that can do some of the things he did. For example, in football (soccer how some lame people call it), you can see over the time how some players add to their skills some plays, dribblings, feints, etc. from other players of the past and some of them even improve them. In Jordan’s case, I haven’t seen other player do the things he did or at least do them like him. He really is one of a kind.
The 🐐. Without him the NBA wouldn't be what it is today.
These young guys REALLY don't know how physical it was in that era. For Jordan to do that then was insane. He gets 45 a game in this league between the calls and lack of physicality.
Stop exaggerating. You couldn't breath on MJ in the 90's. He lead the league or was top 3 in free throw attempts almost every year. 90's NBA was watered down garbage
@@jsgr5382 Hilarious take there, buddy. You are truly delusional. The modern NBA is filled with watered down talent.
@@QuiveringNow the NBA has never been better then now lol. It's literally the opposite of watered down. Its fully international..the best players from Fiba if they can make their way to the NBA. Fully international game. The avg player can now dribble and shoot much much better ,is in better shape, has a higher IQ and would smoke the avg player of the 90's who most were coked out and one dimensional. 2 expansion eras. Watered down the league in the 90's. Everyone knows this. Nostalgia is playing mind games with you
@@jsgr5382better shape yet this the era of load management and all the star players constantly staying hurt and taking games off AD, KD, Kawahi, Paul George, Ben Simmons, Klay, Steph, Lebron, Harden, Kyrie, Embid, Zion, John Wall, are all top tier players who over the last 5-6 seasons have missed significant amounts of game’s multiple times only players that are considered mostly available to play are Gianni’s, booker, Tatum, Donovan Mitchell and Luka even tho he missed first round of the playoffs last year all the elite players back in the day played MJ played all 82 games like 9 or 10 seasons in his career these days we lucky if any of the superstars play 50 games
@@sheaturner3229 Way to cherrypick one of the many points I made lol.
All the tough guys of the 90's careers ended after 12-13 years. Guys will play alot longer today. Highlighting injuries of today as if injuries didn't exist in that era is bs. I guess it wasn't so tough after all if players never got hurt lol.
Point is basketball isnt a tough guy sport. A little contact was a foul in the 60, 70, 80, 90, 00 and today. Any violence is a suspension in any era. Why you talking as if the rules were different in the 90's. In fact that era avg much more free throws then now..The refs called everything. Especially on MJ. The few series he had it tough he literally went to commissioner to change the rules. They avg alot of fouls cause players were slow footed , unathletic and piss poor defenders so they had to foul cause perimeter defending was non existant. But ya I'm sure your cherry picked example of a few players missing games really proves your point lol.
The GOAT doing GOAT things! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Only 50 ....... Other 100 more!! MJ ..... The best forever. Thanks!
any era, any time..Michael Jordan was blessed by God and no doubt the best of all time! Great reaction!!

@@wahoowa7777 good on them bro'. I don't think God plays favorites though,
This is nothing compared to his ultimate mixtape.. you get a much clearer picture of why he’s the 🐐

As a European i had to stay up until 2,3,4 in the morning sometimes to watch MJ play. 1 of the best athletes the world has ever seen, not just b-ball player...MJ the goat & shout out to Scottie Pippen as well, those 2 was the driving force on the 90's Chicago Bulls team...Legends
Mike was Different, I'm Glad I Got to watch him in his prime, he was unstoppable. The Goat Debate isn't even close, Michael Jeffrey Jordan is the Greatest of all time 🐐

MJ balled every game like he was in a dunk competition when he wasn't sinking 3s
Jordan just hits different. He was playing a whole different game from everyone else. And his competition was fierce! Magic, Bird, Stockton and Malone, Barkley, Ewing, Thomas, Wilkins, the list of greats goes on and on, but Jordan sits alone at the top - king on his throne.
But he never beat Larry....
Ben wallace. Kukoc
Just sitting in the background saying”Lebron James” for 5 minutes straight was the repetition comedy I needed in my life today
Ikr. Love LBJ, used to stay up late and watch his high school games on ESPN. However Lebron's name doesnt have to be brought up everytime.
Yeah, lmao 🤣
You can’t even begin to imagine what it was like to witness MJ dunk on Patrick Ewing and Dikembe Motombo!!! Just an amazing spectacle on both sides of the floor!!!!!
Motombo was (almost) impossible to dunk on!
And Alonzo Mourning
he dunk over shaq too. Shaqn said himself
@@brilliantbeaches5389 and let's not forget he gave him the mutumbo finger aka Sonic the hedgehog after he dunked. #savage
Thank God for slow-motion instant replay and multiple camera angles. It frequently took at least three different replays to realize everything he did on a play.
I graduated HS in 93 so i know everything MJ and Lebron and even though i didnt like either,MJ is EASILY better!!!!
Anyone who watches highlights of both can see this!
This is why MJ is the G.O.A.T!
It's more than the highlights. You had to see MJ play at the time - night after night, year after year, patiently and loyally building Chicago's success. He had a will to win like noone else. He could take complete control of a game - on both ends.
MJ is the greatest. And took 2 years off to play baseball. Just crazy stuff.
Michael Jordan is a legend no question in that
I really don’t understand why anyone would think another basketball player is even close to MJ. This was and is the god of basketball. Hands down.

The Greatest Of All Time: Michael Jeffery Jordan (Chicago’s Legend)
Watching Jordan was like watching a magician…. He could do anything… shoot anything… whenever it came down to last second cultch he would somehow always get that ball in even with 5 dudes on him… it was insane watching this man, he could fly!!! He was the most intelligent basketball player ever saturated with pure athleticism and out of this world skills….shit brings a tear to my eye remembering watching him play!!!!!
I feel blessed grown up in the era to be able to watch Michael Jordan in his prime
Michael Jordan to beautiful to to watch, His movement like art..No one like him
There's a reason 99% of us that have seen both play say MJ. It's not even close. These highlights don't tell the tale, he owned the court like no one ive ever seen.
Gentlemen, great video! I gotta say that during his playing days MJ was getting hacked left and right! This dude was fighting so hard for the plays he was making AND he was making them look like art! He was the first to do such smooth and flawless moves, shots, dribbles, defense! He was breath taking to watch!!! Everything else that came after him was a version of him!!! So its impossible to compare!!! Everybody watched closely And emulated everything this man did!
No doubt...MJ ran through walls to get what he got.
Lebron runs through doorways with beads hanging,and still ain’t close.
Jordan is the best basket player of all times ! I'm 42 years old and i remember the time he played. Every match was a demonstration!
MJ is GOAT!! No competition!!! Not even close.
I was lucky enough to have lived outside of Chicago between 86-90. I wasn't really a Bulls fan per se, but Jordan basically opened my eyes to recognizing a once in a lifetime talent on live tv. You know someone is truly legendary if you can realize it watching them in their prime. Barry Sanders, Walter Payton, Joe Montana, Bo Jackson, Larry Bird... players like these, were truly a privilege to have watched them play in their prime.
MJ's defensive prowess is what tips the scales for the GOAT conversation.
That's what most people forget.
Is on top of the offense he played the lethal defense and that does indeed make him it.
And you look at the league then he was playing in and how tough it was compared to nowadays...
you can't come close enough you can't get in the paint you can't touch them?
The absolute GOAT. M.J is and forever will be the GOAT
There will never ever be another player that plays with such elegance while killing everybody
30 years later people still watch in amazement.
Jordan...absolutely no question. I'm in my 50's and watched many games with Jordan in his prime including the championship games. Dudes, he was like the Muhammad Ali of the NBA...changed the game.
Except Jordan didn’t win his first title by his opponent being PAID TO LOSE…that Liston fight was ridiculous…got hit with a phantom punch and went down….one of the more obvious fixes in pro sports….and there’s been a TON…NFL is classified as “SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT “, NO other pro sport is except WWE….what does that tell you…
Greatest player I’ve ever seen play and imo greatest of all time. I was lucky to have WGN in my town so I could see the Chicago cubs and the Chicago Bulls play. Every game Jordan played on we would rush home to watch because there’s only 50 moments here but this stuff happened every game, it was just what’s he gonna do this game. You didn’t even have to watch every play we would eat dinner and casually watch and every time they took it down the court MJ would do something magical. GOAT IMO
WGN was a superstation/national...it just was cable outside of Chicago instead basic TV. That I also was lucky to grow up in Chicago during this era. Agreed.
Michael Jordan was unstoppable
GOAT, no one is close to him, if you know basketball you know he was and is miles ahead of everyone and no one come close
Most exciting time in sports!! - what an era! We were glued to our tvs! Chicago hasn’t been the same.
MJ is, was and will ALWAYS be the goat.
Adorable hearing these guys back Lebron
Just listen to what the people who played against Michael say about him. Some of those guys are STILL scared of him! Best to ever do it.
Here's what people fail to realize, Mike was doing all that in his rookie season...IN ONES!
ONES???
Here's what people feel to realize his rookie season he averaged almost 30 a year after leaving College and being clamped down by James Madison and held to 16 points because the man could not score against the Zone because he wasn't a great outside shooter but zone defense was illegal in the NBA you couldn't double team a man off the ball I guarantee you if they bring back that illegal defense rule Steph Curry wins at least six more championships before he retires
