If you were alive during Jordan's playing days and old enough to be cognizant of what you were watching, no one needs to explain it.
The eye test is king.
Jordan owned everyone, caused fear in opponents and awe in fans ...in the most competitive and talented era in NBA history.
The absolute G.O.A.T.
Everyone except Larry Bird. 😊
@@markleeman9932 Bird was the greatest competitor the NBA ever saw and even he dropped this quote, "I would never have called him the greatest player I'd ever seen if I didn't mean it," Bird told The Boston Globe. "It's just God disguised as Michael Jordan."
I agree with everything you said-except for the “eye test being king” and “that era-being most talented/competitive”;
Basically, the only time that the “eye test” is somewhat reliable-is when you have limited data/information;
Or, if you’re talking about things that can’t really be “measured”; Like “skill level”.
Otherwise, it’s just a much less accurate version of things like stats/analytics.
Humans are biased; Numbers aren’t.
And I’m saying that-as someone that despises things like analytics.
I really do wish they weren’t a part of Sports, because they completely take the beauty out of the Game-and turn everything into a math problem; But, unfortunately-that’s the world we’re in now.
And as far as the ‘most talented era’…
In any Sport, or form of competition-The most recent era-is almost always going to be “the best”.
Sports are just like anything else-They evolve over time.
The Competitors get to learn from those who came before them. They get to see what does-and doesn’t work. And, as Science, Technology, Medicine gets better-the Athletes’ training evolves, their bodies, their conditioning, their nutrition, etc. etc… all of those things evolve, as well.
@@CipherSerpico The current era is less talented than the 80s-90s if you've played or watched alot of basketball.
The players travel, carry, set moving picks, commit offensive fouls, flop with zero whistles blown ...and generally lack basic fundamentals.
...Not to mention the zone defense and no hand checks.
@@unnaturalselection8330 “The current era is less talented than the 80s-90s”;
The current era has the higher _True Shooting% + 3-point% + Free throw% + eFG%._
That means they’re “better shooters” than the players from the 80s+90s.
They also have the lower _Turnover%._
Which means the current players-make less bad passes-and/or-they are better at controlling/handing the ball-than the 80-90s players.
So, if the current players have better shooting, better passing, and better handles…
What were the 80s-90s players better at?
In which ways-were they more talented?
To all people saying Lebron is better than Jordan is completely wrong. Jordan could play both sides of the court and score at will in a much tougher era. Jordan played in 374 less games as of rn. That is an average of a little over 4 seasons, yet he still managed to score over 32,000 points and average 30ppg. He easily could have broken Kareem's record had he played the longevity Lebron has. Jordan was also named DPOY and made all-nba defensive first team 9x. Granted, Lebron was first team 5x, but he is by no means as well as a defender. Jordan led the league in steals 3x, but 0 for Lebron. Jordan is also 6-0 in championships and 6x champion MVP while Lebron is 4-6. I still think Lebron is a hell of a player, but I just do not think he is the GOAT
21 years and 3 1/2 rings says at all also LeBron recluted super stars that's the difference Jordan made super stars
Jordan playing both sides of the court is what made him lethal, because everyone can score but not everyone is trying to spend their energy guarding the best player on the other side of the court
@@ja-mex2395 that make sense about Jordan incredible physical and stamina
Lebron will never be better than micheal jordan NEVER!
@@chazskiequintanar1465 💯
Michael Jordan will always be the greatest the goat 🐐 period!!!!!!!!
FOR DERANGED PPL. BUT SMART MEN KNOWS WILT IS GOAT AND BIRD KAREEM OLAJUWON ALSO BETTER MORE COMPLETE THAN JORDAN.
He is the greatest because when it mattered the most, like Tiger in the 2000s, he made the shot, the pass, the free throw, the steal, block, and the dunk. He was poetry in motion. He was basketball at it's purest. The NBA today just does not understand. Our hero back then made it happen and never let us down. There will never be another.
💯. It's insane that whenever the bulls had their backs against the wall I was NEVER anxious because no body could stop mike when it was time to shoulder the load.
Are you talking about Larry Bird? 😅😅😅
MJ's competitiveness and focus as a basketball 🏀 player are why he's the GOAT 🐐. His level of game play is unmatched by any other player on the hardwood.
That's debatable. Michael was the best one man show hands down, but he wasn't a team player, he didn't make his teammates better, Bird did. I saw Bird play one time, and Michael several, it wasn't until I was old and started studying what the greats who played said about Bird that made me question who the GOAT is. Bird played great, and made his teammates better according to them. He contributed to both McHale and Parrish by passing them the ball, I think one said he was responsible for at least 5K of his points.
his daily practice retinue and learning the fundamentals perfectly as well, you can see the superstars of this generation, very few of them have perfect fundamentals. You can count them on one hand for this generation and most of them if not all are point guards or from Europe.
Kobe bean Bryant !
@Cryptoman-kv6ly Bird and MJ had different approaches to leadership. I agree that Bird elevated his teammates play. I don't agree that MJ didnt. Jordan definitely elevated his team. He just had a lead by example approach. Look at how his former teammates talk about how MJ ran practices for proof of it.
@@mikebuckets Bird won 60 games in rookie year alone. Jordan never saw 35 wins till pip and horace drafted. Bird in rookie year turned 29 wins team to 60 , without mchale parish was even drafted.
Jerry West said it best. "He's done more spectacular things than any basketball player I've ever seen". Same goes for me. The way MJ played was and is the pinnacle. Michael Jackson and Michael Jordan. Something about that MJ.
The greatest in sports and music carry the initials...M.J.J.
I grew up on the Southside of Chicago I had a front row seat to his airness greatness and my guy was SERIOUSLY built fuckn different he...🤦 bro he was just a fuckn ASSASSIN!!!!! He wanted to not beat u he wanted to demoralize you....💯
im from the south side myself i laughed recently i watched a youtube video just showing the bulls intro with that music and one of the comments said something like as soon as the other team heard that music they knew the game was over
@@gregorydiaz5416 naw as soon as they heard a 6'6 guard from nooooorth caroliiiinaaaa!!!! They shit they pants😁
MJ would average 150 points a game in the modern NBA. The only thing that could slow him down is the game clock.
Wilt would avergae 300 ppg because he proved. MJ never proved because he never saw 40 ppg even tho rules allowed him and Wilt was stopped due to rules.
@@Celtics6-0vsMonkeyJordan at wilt time... most basketball player has to work beside playing basketball... he woulndt score 300 not even 100 anymore.
@Kushenable and just look at Jordan's 2 guard opponents...except for Payton, and a few others, they were weak defenders
No he wouldn't...players on the bench today are just as athletic and skilled as Jordan was
No he wouldn’t average that much…Mike is probably the greatest “scorer” in the history. He is the standard 👌Fundamentally grounded and supremely competitive.
If it weren't for Michael Jordan, there would be so many teams that could have won a championship ring.
The New York Knicks are one of them.
In the late 1980s and 1990s, the Chicago Bulls were the Knicks' biggest rival.
The strongest rival that they could not overcome no matter how hard they tried was the Jordan Bulls.
IF NOT BIRD , MJ WILL WON 1 PLAYOFF GAME. BIRD SWEPT HIM ALONE 1 VS 1 , 6-0 EVERY PLAYOFF.
knicks were so close, charles smith 13,000 put back chances still brings me nightmares
anyone who says knicks werent the bulls toughest oppenant are ignorant
@@john-pp7ws KNICKS HAD 1 HOF. BULLS HAD 5 VS THEM 1997. NICE TRY.
@@john-pp7ws IF THEY WERE GOOD THEY WOULD HAVE 6 HOF LIKE KNICKS WHO WON VS CHAMBERLAIN. JORDAN NEED 4 HOF VS 1 EWING.
The whole world loves and will never forget the 1 and only Michael Jordan, GOAT!

That pass to Pippen. Jordan all day, all night, all time.
Watching lebron play it feels like it's just another game... but MJ... it's war!
I think Jordan being cut from his high school basketball team is one of if not THE most defining moment of his life/career.
It’s Nothing Like Old School NBA I Love This Channel Great Content 🔥
Growing up watching Jordan and pippin work there magic .Jordan was what got me loving basketball but scottie pippin had me in awe cos on the court he was involved in every move or defence he was huge ,intense, scary, and one of the best players ever , was a true pleasure watching them Jordan and pippin and then rodman play
I heard about that lit cigar and walking into a locker room [ never knew it was the "Hawks"] and as Mr. Wilkins said he lit the the stadium up... and another one where he was playing Golf with a NHL player, I think was Ronix from "Blackhawks" and he said MJ had like ten big Bud lights and was able to win his bet back after losing on the Golf course. The bet was he was gonna win the game by twenty points and he won the game by twenty six and won back all what he'd lost on the Golf course earlier on that day... and aslo, he lost Game 5 at the United Center by the "Suns" in the Finals and he said to the players before Game 6 in Phoenix, "... he only brought one suit"... He's not planning to lose tonights game... Jordan is the standard that sets the bar for which has stand longer than any of the greats before him and after the standard as not change up to this minute and it wiil stand for a very long time before we see anything to transcend the sport greater than he has done... Kobe and Duncan was close, but, we haven't seen that as yet!
Mj is the goat to me cause he didn’t switch teams in his prime while lebron did and mj only had at most 3 coaches he played for and was successful with one of them (Phil Jackson) while bron had too many coaches left and right (that’s why they call him LeGM) and Jordan didn’t run away from the team when things got tough and didn’t complain all the time, to the refs either
I like your idea of a separate Michael Jordan channel !
Jordan is the closest thing to a guaranteed win we've ever seen.
XCEPT BIRD SWEPT HIM ALONE 6-0 IN PLAYOFF EVERY YEAR. BIRD IS JUST BETTER PLAYER 1 ON 1
Dude lol.
Just lol.
He didnt start winning until bird retired and magic was near his end
Dude was pretty much unbeatable once he reached the mountaintop.
@@PIP...33 Really? Bird did all of that "ALONE"? So, the three other future HOFers (Parish, McHale, and DJ) that combined for TWENTY ONE All-Star appearances _weren't_ on Larry's team too? Sit down, young buck. You're making a fool of yourself.
By the way, Jordan's teammates at the time were 1x All-Star Caldwell Jones and 1x All-Star Steve Johnson.
@@mj23goat3 NOW UN PROVED U R DERANGED. TYPICAL FOR JORDAN FANS LACK OF SPORT KNOWLEDGE. CWELTICS 1978 WON 29 GHAMES, BIRD GOT DRAFTED AND WON 60 GAMES. PARISH MCHALE WASNT EVEN IN LEGAUE U DERANGED
Real talk barkley the struggle is part of the legacy. ❤
Awesome show as always, great work brother!
Jordan averaged 28 ppg as a ROOKIE, a lot of vets were jealous of all the attention & praise from media rookie Jordan was getting
WILT CHAMBERLAIN ROOKIE : 37 PPG, 27 RPG, 9 BPG WON MVP ROTY SCORING AND REBOUND TITLE. WHOS JORDAN ?
@@PIP...33Jordan is the guy who Wilt Chamberlain said should get a percentage of every NBA player’s salary after him.
@@kweli05 YEAH BECAUSE HE IS SELLOUT.
@@kweli05 NOW EVERY NBA PLAYER SHOULD TAKE PERCENTAGE OF JAYLEN BROWN BECAUSE HE IS WORTH 5X MORE THAN JORDAN EVER WAS
@@PIP...33 Wilt is a sellout? You’re confused and confusing.
He is the greatest athlete of all time. He didn’t just transcend basketball, he was the first world wide sporting icon.
Let's not get crazy, he is the greatest "marketed athlete ever" but not the greatest athlete. There's quite a few people more athletic than MJ.
Probably a soccer player first. Pele
Hey, have you heard of two world known athletes named Pele and Ali? Just asking…because Jordan definitely was not the first.
GOAT. We all need to channel our inner MJ in our professional lives. Grind, work your tail off, and never ever let someone get an edge. That’s MJ. Many guys have had his talent, almost nobody had his work ethic. He maximized his immense talent. You don’t have to be an all world athlete or genius to maximize yours.
You can watch ANYTHING about Mj over and over again. One day there well may be an heir to his throne, but we haven't seen him yet. 🐐
People don’t realize how good penny was before he got injured.
Jerry West been a part of the NBA for 60 years and was the GOAT SG before MJ, yet he said MJ did more spectacular things than any other player he's seen.
Amen to that. If Jerry West says it, you better believe it.
I agree with most of the great players said about MJ but I also like the comments from Sir Charles Barkley that you would have to give more credit to Giannis and Jordan for losing many years before finally getting to win championships. I also admired KG for staying with the Timberwolves even if he did not win there. Congrats KG on the Celtics last Championship 2008...
I totally agree with everything you said about Joe Dumars
Having a Michael Jordan only channel would be awesome Sean David! I am as big a fan as you are I lived through his entire career my kids were little and to this day my daughter says Dad all u did was make us watch Chicago Bulls games I have many DVDs too! Love your show you really do it professionally w great old school content! 👌
I remember the days when MJ would drop 40-50 -60 points and the Bulls lose the game and would think "that must suck to play that hard and score and still lose".
BTW I taught and played the sport of tennis for a living for 20 years and played in both the hardwood and blacktop growing up in Queens NYC. So I know the feeling of playing hard doing your job and still lose.
Tim Grover said, Jordan would say, i don't lose but just run out of time. Thats an unique mentality
Respect to Mr. Wilkins! Bravo!
Leave more clips on Air Michael Jordan his own Channel thanks The Goat.
Jordan had OCD type of competitiveness. I know he had his whole family scared during UNO nights.
😂😂😂Indeed 👏🏼👏🏼😁👌🏼
💯🐐 Airness
Great video sir! I appreciate the work you put in for us
Best offensive with fade away clutch 3 points
Best scorer
Best defensive
Dunk contest winner
He is complete
I'll keep saying this,u can start a channel off of just talking about MJ.
And u would be a youtube success.
Would loke to see more of Jordans college team bet the NBA team!
GREAT CONTENT!!!!!
Please send this to all the LeBum fanboys

Lebron is the G.o.a.t. flopper.

This is the BEST nba channel 😊

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You for your channel
I love MJ too❤❤❤
Once MJ had a taste of the finals cake, NOBODY GOT TO EAT .
Everybody ate some cake during LeBron era
ONCE JABBAR BIRD RETIRED ? OR QHEN HE ESCAPED QUIT 3 TIMES . EASY TO WIN MORE WHEN THERE IS NO SUPERTEAMS OR WHEN U LOAD MANAGE 450 GAMES , SHOW ME 1 WIN VS BIRD

You didn't disprove my point at all .
Instead you go at MJ rookie and sophomore seasons playing against best to team in the league Boston with 4HOF 😂😂.

Thank you I absolutely 💯 love 🏀 the videos. Please make one on Xavier McDaniel
What I like the most in Dominique Wilkins who was talking as a first is how this guy always has much of respect to other legends. He is a legend but very classy man.
*I* *am* *Spartacus❗* -🏀🐐
Michael Jordan is Basketball. Basketball is Michael Jordan. The game will never b as it is today without him. #BlackJesus
Jerry West gave Jordan the greatest compliment of all, considering who West played against, played with, and who he coached.
I was thinking that he saw Wilt and Kareem play when he was still playing and still said that. That means something.
Precisely. He also coached Kareem in the late 70's. @@jtremaine23
New subs!
Man that 🎷 in the intro around the 0:60 mark is so 🔥
I love MJ and Sean David
Air Jordan 🐐🐐🐐
The 1994 - 1995 Rockets were monsters. No beating them, by ANYONE.
THEIR IS NO CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE GOAT" M J. !!!
🐐❤
I've been watching basketball since the Boston Celtics and the Lakers on Channel 5 every day Sunday evening I'm in Chicago when I saw Michael Jordan I was in front of my TV every playoff championship regular season on Channel 9 I ain't never seen no player like Jerry West said do when Michael Jordan ever did.
🐐
Winning a game against MJ back in the days whether it's just a pre-season game must have felt like winning a championship for most NBA players.
@hi Sean, congrats for the Chanel I love it , would be awesome if you could make a Video with your opinion: Which team win? Magic, Jordan, Bird, Kareem and Shaq against Iverson, Kobe, Lebron, Olawujon and Wilt Chamberlain?
Michael Jordan in THIS era would average a clean 35-36 PPG without a doubt. He’d have about 8-10 championships without question.
When MJ respect the legend ahead in their time its enough to accept that his the GOAT
Rare footage of the guy all the kids around the world wanted to be...also I don't have Mr. Logo's knowledge but I totally agree with him based on my post 1980 knowledge
I’m 41 years old and grew up within an hr of Atlanta.
Me and my brother were big basketball fans, but my dad pretty much was only interested in football.
One of my greatest regrets (albeit one that I never had any control over) was never watching MJ and Nique in person just once.
Granted those tickets sold out everytime the Bulls came to Atlanta.
Barkley said it best hit it right on the spot ain't no body like Jordan period.
Please have the videos of the 1984 US Olympic Team against NBA All Stars. The greatness of Jordan against Larry Bird, Magic and others in their primes.
我也超愛MJ❤❤🌟🌟
MJ the man hands down !!
The very idea that there's even a debate is a joke lol
I've been to MJ's house in Wilmington, NC before. A good friend of mine has known MJ since they were six years old. We stopped by to see Mr. Jordan. I stayed in my car while my friend went inside. I don't know MJ or his family, so I just waited outside.
The GOAT MJ🙏
I've seen both play in their prime. I would pick MJ without Question. You wanna win? ...pick MJ
GOAT
Dam so 1985-1990, 1995 those were practice playoff years. Cool.
G.O.A.T. 😎💯
MJ truly is the GOAT and it's absurd that some are still claiming others. IMO Wilt is just behind MJ (the greatest Big Man ever and it's not even close), then Larry Bird as #3. So glad that you included the Pierce cli talking about MJ and his cigars. MJ was knows to smoke a cigar before (some) games. Could he have been even more electric without the scotch & cigars? ...I don't see how, MJ was just super blessed by God physically even down to his perfect bball frame. No, he didn't have to put a pseudo-all-star team together to be competitive as is done now JUST to be competitive for a title, not even guaranteed to win. The 90's Bulls weren't questioned as to winning it all each year, it was just in 'how many games will they do it in'. The Spurs did it in like fashion. A blessing to draft Timmy when they did (had The Admiral not gotten injured that previous season they wouldn't have gotten Timmy). They traded for complimentary pieces and not perennial All-Stars, like the Bulls did. Look at the teams who build such 'all-star' teams now and without great success. Like a puzzle, there can only be four corners in a rectangle and any more just doesn't work. That's why Robert Horry has 7 Rings, He played his role to perfection as one of the most under-appreciated, most clutch players in NBA/ABA history. Outside of Steph Curry, who is more clutch than Robert Horry was? I can't think of anyone right now. His clutch shooting and clutch wing defender defense when the game was on the line was legendary & super consistent.
Thats what separate him from everyone cant be intimidated ,gets the job done with style!
The measure MJ greatness, is to only look at his defensive skills and defensive IQ! Just on the defensive side of the ball, Jordan was phenomenal. The defense skills makes him the GOAT!
I was blessed to grow yp witness Black Jesus play as a kid
Warst du damals bei der Nike Hoop Heroes Tour 1997?
Die war glaube ich einmal in Berlin und in Dortmund wo ich dann auch war
Wilkins gave Jordan a run for his money, and often at that. Outscoring the GOAT.
HE IS THE GOAT.....
Bird beat jordan like a redheaded stepchild for chrissake.
Have you ever done anything on Derek Rose would love that
Dont forget the nba also changed the rules for jordan💯
#33Bird
Even Old Rich White Men Dressed in a Suit Have "Jordans" on Ther Feet...Jordans Represent Absolute Perfection and Dominance and Greatness on The Biggest Stage...Jordans Immense Natural Talent Was Effortless and Unmatched
Vince Carter is wrong. Jordan did earn his points, but.... the refs absolutely gave Mike the benefit of the whistle in his prime. MJ got all the calls, all the time... he got the treatment that Iverson and Kobe got later, because he was the prototype for that kind of protection from the Ref. If MJ got hurt, the league would lose MASSIVE revenue... so he became too valuable not to protect. If we could us AI to watch every minute of MJ coverage, for his entire career, and analyze how his contact was called, vs league average, the AI could put a number on that foul quotient, and MJ would lead the league in ref protection by a landslide. Of course MJ was the best of the best, but he became too valuable to allow the league to beat on him after a certain point in his career. I don't think anyone is complaining about that, as a fan, we all wanted to see him play our team, we just wished he didn't get the benefit of every whistle all game long in that era (when he played us)
When Jordan was on defense, his mentality seemed like he was still on offense. Like "you have the ball? That's MY ball." Pippen adopted that, too, and only thing close to it I can think of is Payton.
“I have Never Seen a better Player as MJ; Steeve Wonder!”
His first step was ridiculous
He is definitely the GOAT
Being THAT insanely competitive though… millions of fans, no doubt but friends though? Real ones? I wonder.
i never heard anyone speak on the fact that in that era you needed a great center to win , I dont believe jordan played with a hall of famer center his whole career, at least i dont thinks so and he 3 peated twice, as labron so called bein a ll around player, doesnt hold up when you gotta be that player to win
These ppl never watched MJ plays. MJ hangs in the air longer than other players.
Jerry West's assessment of MJ hasn't changed in 30 years. He pretty much said the exact same thing back then.
Now Jerry's comments are interesting because with talking athleticism and things he was back there in the days of prime Wilt. I guess either he just talking for today or he forgot.
