    MJ had two careers, and many younger folks don't remember the first career. He was two different players.
    In his early years, before his first retirement, he was the greatest force basketball has ever seen.
    Post-retirement, he was still probably the best player in the world, but he lacked the athleticism he had years earlier.
    It's a marvel that he was able to change his game and still be great, but the younger Jordan is the one who was jaw-dropping.

    Jordan is for sure amazing, but its not just him. The whole team, or at least a few of the players, worked really well together. They set him up for those great plays by knowing each other so well. Watch how perfect some of those passes were, straight through the arms of other players and with such precision that he could already be flying through the air and the ball be exactly where it needed to be without any of them even looking. great stuff! :)

    Unmatched and downright frightening athletiscism.
    And that was only a small part of it.
    Unmatched skill, competitiveness, work ethic.

    No one's going to be the GOAT after Jordan.
    It's not even just what he did on the court. He brought basketball to the main stage. He made Nike. In fact, he MADE the modern basketball shoe. Before that, everyone wore chucks. The Jordan logo is possibly the most recognized clothing logo in the world.
    And on top of all that, he was a winner. His basketball career is the stuff of legends.
    As far as Kobe, LeBron, Wade, etc, they got their own legacies to make, but Jordan is undeniably the GOAT.

    Watching MJ play, you almost felt like it was "unfair". Because, honestly, it kind of was. NOBODY will ever come close to the utter greatness that was MJ. Not only for his personal excellence, but how he elevated his team. The Bulls of the 90's are pretty much the greatest basketball team of all time, but do you think Pippen would be a legend if he was, say, a Denver Nugget? Of course not. MJ had enough greatness to go around.

    Because the title of this youtube video would have the word "lowlights" instead of "highlights." You see, the word "low" is an antonym for the word "high." I agree that showing a separate lowlights video would be nice. It would amplify Jordan's greatness in that his failures never brought him down and he continued to work at being the best. He is one of the few people in this world that understand that being the best requires you to lose and fail first.
