The Last Dance is so incredible. Will give you a sight behind the curtain of the NBA as a whole and the Bulls/Jordan specifically. Maybe at least watch and give us a review if you can’t give us a live reaction.
the best part about that docu was it made pippin lose his mind and the memes that were produced because of him were priceless
His athleticism is something I’ve never seen before and still haven’t to this day. He’s so graceful when he played. Everything was just so fluid. He adapted as he needed to to do what he needed to do to get the job done.
I’m about the same age as his sons, and I grew up in the Chicago area. I was lucky enough to be at a few of the high school games between his son’s school and mine. It was so incredible to see him in person. It was an unspoken rule that he was to be left alone though, which I’m glad people respected. He was just there to watch his son play, not to talk to fans about himself.
Well said. Yeah, he is the greatest ever and there is no question. No one has ever made it look as smooth and graceful yet crazy powerful like he did either.
I think roger federer did the same thing for tennis. Watch "Federer v Blake: ATP Finals 2006 Final Highlights" or "Federer vs Davydenko - US Open 2006 SF Bluray Highlights".
He still plays but is 40 and much slower. Still a graceful player, but this is the only example of a "fluid" or "beautiful" game at the highest level I can think of besides MJ. Federer is also one of the GOATs of the sport, and IMO the GOAT overall.
@@AstroPatel Lendl and Sampras were two of my favorite players, but Federer is just so smooth around the court.
Ayyyy same here for his son's HS games
You guys need to watch the documentary "The Last Dance".
Not only MJ was physically crafted by God but he was equally strong mentally. By far, GOAT of the GOAT!
very true i think more than anything his mentality is what made him great. win at all cost. not only did he like winning but he HATED to lose.
Gary Payton better
@@hassanmohamud3096 get back to reality when that’s a fact, but hey you may be trolling lol.
@@spitnificent Gary shut mj down and would’ve beaten him if Sonics coach let him guard mj throughout the entire series. Put some respect on the gloves name. He’s above mj and is slightly behind lebron
@@hassanmohamud3096 This is the most delusional thing I've ever read on the internet, and that's saying a lot.
He literally had no weakness on the court. The year he got drafted, 1984, he played on the Olympic team. They had 8 exhibition games with NBA players, HOF, player's. His team beat them 8-0 & his coach & commentators were already saying he's the best they've ever seen. Hadn't played 1 game in the NBA yet.
Only quibble is he wasn't a great three-point shooter, but he hit them when it mattered and he could get hot from distance
@@99Stutz Different league. There were 3 point specialist. But if MJ wanted to shoot a consistent 3 he could have.
don't forget about his passing game. while there are quite a few great passes you can find from him, remember that he didn't generally pass. I'd say it's a toss up between passing and three's as to what the weakest part of his arsenal was.
@@chriswright8114 his passing game was on point. Remember, he had to trust you to pass the ball. I grew up in the Old Chicago Stadium, privileged, to witness a lot of games. He was a great passer, but he ain't passing the ball to who he considered a scrub.
@@monicapegues4008 I mean, that may be true, but that's not how you judge someone's ability to pass. he wasn't great at it, and he very rarely did it.
The confidence, the charisma, the talent, the drive to win... There will never be another MJ. He was who he was and didn't care what you thought about it.
Lebron has 50lbs and more points to talk about.
Bunch of losses too...
@@willvr4
Think about this: Jordan was so good, that young people today have the perception that MJ dominated a "weak era" - compared to today.
Of course, any of us old timers, who were alive and grown enough to witness and understand it, know that's BS.
But that's how good he was!
He was so ridiculously dominant in the 90's that everyone looked trash by comparison!
It's really that simple. Jordan had no weakness to his game so the defender was at his mercy EVERYTIME cuz he kept you off balance. When Jordan didn't know what he might do, you think the defender has a chance?
These are HOF and all 50 team players he was doing that too.
Malone would be destroying people if he played in the NBA right now.
As someone who grew up in the 90s there was nothing quite like watching him play as a kid. Your sports heroes at that age will always hold a special place in your memory. Much respect to all the other greats before and after him but in my eyes he will always take the top spot.
Greatest competitor of all time. Fantastic.
If you don't count Bill Russell.
@@user-lf7nf3kl7t I count Bill Russell. Jordan is the greatest.
MJ's great strength is scoring at will. There are many games when he scores consecutive hits when his team needs it. He's also perhaps the only big player to perform much better in the playoffs than in a regular season. Plays hard but also has the reserve to accelerate more when needed.
Jordan used to tell teammates, if he was mad at them or they played poorly, to take “his” shoes off. didnt want his shoes on their feet…savage
I wonder what he did when he had an off night. Granted there werent a ton of them, but he had his share.
nothing happened lol
Being a big Julius "Dr. J" Erving fan, I wasn't all that impressed when Jordan first came on the scene. Then one day a fellow Coast Guardsman pulled some tickets from Military Morale and invited me to a Washington Bullets/Chicago Bulls game. I hesitantly attended without great expectations. To this day I'm still eating heaping helpings of Crow.
The best way for yall to understand his impact is he was the Beatles of Basketball...watch when he played in the 92 Olympics how the world reacted
With one small difference - MJ wasn't overrated ;)
I’d say say say, bird was the Beatles, magic was jimmy hendrix but Michael was Michael Jackson!
Consider myself lucky to have grown up watching his entire career. On game days I would do mine and both of my brothers chores in order to have TV set to myself.
MJ is undoubted the greatest of all time, what he did on and off the court, he made basketball a world sport and just like you said when it comes to worldwide fame, everyone knows Micheal Jordan.
Bill Russell.
Be like Mike
@@user-lf7nf3kl7t bill Russell played against substitute teachers and plumbers
@@Anthony-xr7bv You're lost.
Bill Russell couldn't shoot ... he was only a defensive player ... if he was Jordan's height he would be crap.
Unquestionably, the G.O.A.T.
-6 championships via 2x 3-peats. Perhaps could have been 8 championships, had he not temporarily retired to play baseball.
-Played in an era in the NBA where _real_ defense was still allowed.
-Didn't need to be surrounded by all-stars to win a championship, a la some of today's _"superstars"_
-Never lost more than 3 consecutive games.
The list goes on...
Let's not forget he didn't miss a single game in 9 seasons
It also needs to be mentioned that the Eastern Conference was a frickin bloodbath when Jordan was dominating it. He prevented legit NBA legends from getting rings. Dude is legit the GOAT. And I’m a Knicks fan.
@@daynejoseph2366 Also don't forget, he was playing against a particular team that had a standing rule to hurt him as much as possible, knock him down every chance you get, elbow him, hit him in the face on blocks, just brutal tactics and he still showed them up. When the Bulls lost from 1984 to 1998, it was NEVER Jordan's fault. He always came to play, putting on a hell of a show for every spectator and doing his best to take his team to victory. His teammates were his downfall in the early years, they couldn't be counted on and most of them were drug addicts that partied all night before games.
@@Falcun21 big facts
Not to mention he never allowed a Game 7 in any Finals series....
Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders are a couple great examples of outstanding athletes being good at multiple sports. NFL and MLB champs.
I wish I could like this 100 times so they would watch some old films of both of them/
Bo Jackson will leave you three in a constant jaw drop 😁
Bo was an athelete's athlete for sure
Exactly!
During his prime he won every title. Impossible to argue against him being the goat
Ye it’s stupid that people argue he isn’t
Facts!! 💯💯💯
Ya I was born when he retired and thinks he’s the goat
His sneakers are still selling out decades later so he's definitely 1 of the most famous ppl in the world. There's ppl that never seen MJ play ball but have a pair of his sneakers
EXACTLY
Oh his jersey. They know his name but never seen a game and what's crazy is it still holds true. Decades later.
His game had no weakness. The worst you can say is, that he was an average 3 point shooter. Every other aspect of the game, his stats are insane.
Even the 3-point shooting criticism is overdone. It simply wasn't a significant part of the game when he played. The 3 was more for specialists, Steve Kerr for example. While it certainly wasn't a strength, it wasn't a liability either, especially later in his career as the 3 became more prevalent. In the few years in which he had 3 or more attempts per game, he shot a pretty good percentage, even hitting 42.7% on 3.2 attempts per game in 95-96 over a full season, matching Larry Bird's best percentage over a season. Magic, Kobe, Lebron never had a season approaching 42.7% and both Kobe and Lebron have played with the 3 being a featured part of a team's offense. I think if the 3 was as significant as it is in today's game then just like any other aspect of his game, he would have put the work in. He'd make it personal.
I was 10 in 1996 and growing up in Chicago. The Chicago Bulls will never, EVER be beat for the people who were there. FFS, magic.
If you wanna understand his greatness, watch the game when he was sick. As a bb fan, I cried watching that game.
There's a pretty wide consensus that Michael Jordan is the greatest of all-time. Some people claim LeBron is, but that's mostly younger people who grew up with LeBron who never saw MJ play. Before the young people started hyping up LeBron, I don't think any athlete has been as widely considered as the greatest ever as Jordan was. It's hard to explain to younger people how he was seen as a living god.
People (including myself) would show up when he played on the road and root for him... and their team. I got lucky, watched him score 50 on my Nuggets, but Denver won. Perfect basketball outcome for a fan.
Yeah that’s what it was too. He was a god in a lot of people’s eyes. However the stories of gods are always exaggerated. The reality of Jordan was so good, you couldn’t exaggerate it. How could you do anything to exaggerate what he did. If anything, people downplay his greatness.
LeBron is a wonderful Athlete and very talented. But thus far, Michael Jordan reigns Supreme! 🏀⛹🏿♀️💪🏾✊🏽
Michael Jordan is the greatest then Kobe Bryant then LeBron James.
@@garryjohnson9328yeah if I was starting a team I’d take Kobe over lebron
Michael Jordan is the goat by a long long ways. It's not even close
Absolutely
Back in the 80's and 90's there was a lot more contact allowed, still got fouled a ton, but light contact wasn't normally called. There is a video, not sure if it's this one, that shows just how hard some teams(specifically the Pistons) fouled him, yanking at his arms, jersey, ankles, hitting him in the head/chest to try and make him hesitant about driving to the basket. Some perspective on those 6 3's he made back to back in the highlights, that game he tied and broke a finals record for 3pts shots made; all b/c people said that Drexler was as good as MJ b/c he could shoot 3's better then MJ. He did it just to prove a point.
That second part, synchronized to the music, was UNFKINBELIEVABLE!
Michael was the best. I was obsessed with him when he played, not so much now!
He’s retired now,he definitely changed the Game,at that time he was 1 of a kind with his moves but nowadays most players added MJ and other Great Players moves to their Game so when People from this Generation look back they feel he’s doing normal moves but back then there was only few Star Players doing amazing Layups,Fadeaway,Dunks,Passes and MJ was doing spectacular moves they never seen before in the 80’s and 90’s
Steph Curry changed today’s Game but in 10 or 15 years,I believe he will still be the best 3 Point and Pure Shooter but People will look at his half 3 Point shot like its normal,nowadays everyone is shooting far away Shot including Melo Ball like it’s a normal thing
You guys have to watch The Last Dance. It’s great.
finally, i was waiting for this
Same here 😁
Kobe's is a must as well sheeshhh
Even when you use metrics as the measure of the GOAT, Jordan still comes out on top in most of them.
Yep. Statistics, metrics and the eye test all leans towards MJ
Michael Jordan will have a special place through out basketball history. Any time he played everyone was watching.
Great reaction fellas. They called him Black Jesus. And he didn't walk on water only because he preferred to walk on air. I refer to him as Chupacabra - he who disemboweled GOATs.
I'm STILL IN AWE OF MJ!!!
This was fairly unprecedented at the time, to win that consistently with athleticism. In today's NBA every player wins this way, by jumping higher, running faster, etc. What makes Michael the greatest was his athleticism combined with his obsession with competing. He simply refused to lose. It was a gift and a curse.
Alongside his huge hands which people overlook
He played baseball in the mid 90s for two years in his prime, then came back and won 3 more titles in a row. He retired then came back past his prime a few years later and played for Washington for a year. Now he owns the Charlotte Hornets.
He played for Washington for two years. He only played 1/2 the season the first year because of a knee injury. He was 38-39 years old and was averaging 25 ppg, 6 assists, 6 rebounds until that injury.
The next season his knee injury hampered him still, but he still averaged 21 ppg, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, at 39-40 years old.
He’s also the only player to have a 50 point game in three different decades.
I don’t know if there’s a way to adequately describe what a phenomenon Michael Jordan was in the 80s and 90s. Kobe and LeBron are transcendent athletes, but Jordan was on another level.
Anyone who watched Jordan play during his prime and have watched Lebron play, and who still think Lebron is the superior player, need their eyes examined. MJ was on a whole other level and the league's defensive rules were much harsher in Jordan's time than during Lebron's time in the NBA. If Lebron had to play during Jordan's league, he would not be near the player he is today.
Lebron is not superior he’s just a different player.
@@cjames4478 I enver said Lebron is superior. I said people who have seen both and who still think Lebron is superior need to get their eyes checked.
@@cantecleer I was agreeing with you in a sense. I was saying it’s a bit of an uneven comparison because of era, rules, size, skill set. Lebron is just a different animal. It’s unfair to discredit him in anyway.
Lebron is built different my boy
Lebron would'nt average as many points a game in the 90s. Legal hand checking would have made it harder for him to get to the basket, and he's not a great shooter. There was almost always a 7 footer under the basket too.
Anyone old enough to have followed his career AND Lebron's knows that MJ is the undisputed GOAT....and it's not close.
Lebron is not even close to MJ,besides Lebron playing in a softer era ,he play’s no defense and Jordon was a known defense threat.
@Cody's Corner Lebron isn't close to Larry Bird much less Michael friggin Jordan....You children have no clue.
I like how gatekeeping is now age restricting. "oh you're not old enough cant have an opinion".
yup, LeBron is amazing and clearly dominant...MJ was better. Undeniablly the GOAT.
@Cody's Corner How? I respect Bron but Jordan was just a better player
He was tied with another player with the highest vert at 48". HOF coaches have said he has the biggest hands pound for pound, with maybe the strongest grip.
Running through entire teams was his specialty
If y’all haven’t watched The Last Dance already we gotta get your reactions to it. One of the best sports documentaries ever even if you don’t watch basketball
7:40 that superman sh*t Bill Burr has been talking about. "Are you not tired of those two nuts flying over your head? Just move out of the way 😀."
“Air Jordan”... A LEGEND!
Watching MJ in the 90s was magical. He made u believe he can fly. U knew u were the watching the goat. U knew what the bulls were doing was special. MJ is reason I fell in love with basketball way back in 88. Still a fan of the game to this day. Always great ful for 23….
He retired for 3 years after that last shot in the video. And he bought ownership in the Washington Wizards and decided to come back at the age of 38 and still scored 22 a game.
YES! Been hoping you'd do this! Cheers 🍻
27:35 that’s crazy because he literally bet on that closed eye shot 😭. He bet someone money that he would make it
Jordan's endorsement earnings made him a lot more money than basketball did-and he played AAA baseball for the Whits Sox's farm team..was just getting pretty good when he came back to the NBA
Jordan played on the Chicago White Sox AA team. There was a lot of talk and criticism from the media about his decision to retire from basketball only to end up playing baseball after his father was killed. Some people praised him for what he did and some weren't as accepting of his choice because they felt his name was why he got a chance to play. Others felt he was taking a roster spot that another player who was more invested than Jordan could've used and gained from. But he was getting better at baseball before he came back to the NBA. Jordan said the reason he came back to play basketball was because of the Major League Baseball strike in 1994. If there wasn't a strike, he probably would've continued to play baseball.
There is no "I" in team. "But there is in "win". -Jordan
If you liked Jordan's dunks, you'll love the greatest dunker of all-time in the NBA, Vince Carter's dunks. He has a large collection of videos dedicated to his athletic ability. Even Gerald Green, a lesser known player, was one of the greatest high-flyers the NBA has ever seen.
The Superman dunk where he just threw it in the basket. 🔥
Michael Jordan was just a different breed
Great video guys. Awesome job
On him closing his eyes, it wasn’t a gamble to him. He has a quote that is something like “His work effort eliminates fear.” Basically saying he’s trained his skills so hard that he’s never afraid in a game because he’s already done everything 1000s of times. The free throw is just remembering your form and having the confidence in that. One stat that reflects this the best is that his FG% of shots to win or tie games at the end is the same as it is throughout the match. He simply did not feel pressure.
His Airness. Love it. You guys gotta watch The Last Dance, would make for great fodder.
Yes was anticipating this one 🔥
I love you guys. Love from the States ❤️🇺🇸
As someone who was in his 20's during the 90's and grew up in Chicago... well, I'm just glad I got to see him play live. I don't care if there are 10 other players who beat his stats, the man was more than just a technical basketball player, what he did was art in a way nobody had every done before or since. If the title of "Magic" hadn't already been taken before Jordan came along there is no question he would have earned it far more than "Magic Johnson" ever did.
Nobody beats his stats though. 😁
There's actually a comment posted that lists his stats, and that comment is LONG.
Lol to simplify this paragraph, even if someone beat him in stats no one will over take his legacy bc his presents was so iconic. For making basketball popular, to straight killer with athleticism and his shoes.
Watchin Jordan play was like art in motion this never gets old
MICHAEL JACKSON made a song for Michael Jordan...lol!! That should tell you something right there! MJ is ABSOLUTELY a Superstar, not just a sports star. Saw him when he played for the Wizards at 40 years old and he was stilll STUNNING...never seen anything like it! Good reaction! It's hard to react to MJ WHILE watching MJ because he is just that incredible!!
The Last Dance is one of the best documentaries ever made. You should check it
The fact that Jordan's net worth dropped by 500 million in the last year and he's still worth 1.6 Billion is pretty bananas.
Great reaction, boys!
Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders both played two different MAJOR league sports. Bo is the only professional athlete to become an All Star in two sports.
I came to the comments to see if anyone had mentioned this yet.
Deion played in a World Series
Bo did not Know basketball. But he would have done so much more if he hadn't injured his hip.
@@Baughlin And a Super Bowl...
@@traceythompson1092 He didn't? Then how did he make the All-Star team, where he hit a lead-off homer?
Oooohhh boy we are finally here
You guys are watching THE GOAT, no one has done it better and possibly no one will ever.
about the fouls, the rules have changed a lot since when Jordann played. There was a lot more contact allowed back then. Everyone suggesting that you should watch the last dance is right, because it explains some of the differences between the annd now.
Jordan tore the heart out of many NBA teams.... and played on the greatest NBA team in history of the world... the 92 Dream Team.. Him, Pippen, Bird, Magic, Barkley, Robinson, Ewing, Drexler, Malone, Stockton, Mullin, & Laettner.
Jordan won 3 championships straight 91, 92, and 93... then retired due to the death of his father. He went to play baseball for the White Sox... then after a year and a half returned to basketball. He then won another 3 championships in a row 96, 97 and 98. He then retired again... and eventually returned and played for the Washington Wizards for 2 seasons at the age of 38 and 39. He played a total of 15 seasons... won 6 championships, was the league MVP 5 times, Was the leading scorer of the league 10 seasons, won defensive player of the year, won the dunk contest twice, and won gold at the olympics. He is defenition of a competitor. Made the finals 6 times, never lost. An incredible athlete... and to most the Greatest player to ever lace a pair of basketball sneakers.
MJ was for sure ahead of his time!! Handles. Jumper. Bunnies. Clutch.
Growing up in Chicago during that time was pretty fun.
Flamboyant. Acrobatic. Imaginative. Fearless. Flow. Court awareness. Body control. Inventive. Stylish. Iconic. Vengeful spirit. Cold hearted Killer. GOAT!
🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐 keep up the great content
The GOAT
My brother's mother-in-law, who was a Brit and Cambridge graduate; described him as poetry in motion.
Greatest athlete of all time, it cannot be disputed.
In the last dance, you'll even see him drinking beers and smoking stogies after games, hes a freakshow.
As a 90s kid, I grew up watching "michael Jordan's playground" and it was such a huge motivation. My mom says it was the best babysitter ever lol. My friends and I would watch it at 7am, be out on the courts by 815ish, and wouldnt leave the court until all the lights went off.
The goat and it's not even close. He didn't just score..he was an unbelievable defender as well. His heart is wired differently than everyone else.
I was in the Navy stationed in Japan when Michael and Bulls won their first title. I went crazy watching them beat the Lakers.
He was a machine, best ever .
The Best Player in Game of Basketball ive ever seen, a Player with that unbelievable skills like Michael i believe we will never see again
he played for the white sox. It was also in the WORLD FAMOUS "Space Jam" LOL
Great reaction blokes!
Mesmerizing
Nice reaction OB 😊
Jordan had all the gifts of scoring. Moves, strength, great shooting. Mentally, Jordan was on another level. Playing with the flu during a Finals game and putting up 40+. Most people forget he also put in the work on the defensive end. Blocked shots, steals, and effort going for loose balls. I have seen the blocked shots from offensive great players like LeBron, and the steals from offensive great players like the late Kobe. I've seen the effort from the offensive great Larry Bird. But no one had it all like Jordan
when jordan started with the bulls they were averaging 5k fans in the arena, by the time he left they had 6 championships in 8 years, full arenas every single night and were known around the world.
Watching these clips really makes you feel like he could fly!
“Be like Mike” song. Commercials. Larry Bird. Magic. Gatorade etc….my childhood lol
Jordan is probably one of the most famous Americans for sure. Not just in sport, but also the brand. The sneakers and brand takes him into pop culture icon status.
He won 3 straight rings, retired for 2 years to play in the MLB. Came back and won 3 more, retired again and then came back again to play for the Wizards.
The rule for "free throw" shooting is that no players can go inside the box until the ball leaves the shooter's fingertips. The players behind the shooter can make a run toward the basket, but they too cannot go inside the box before the ball is released. What MJ done was perfectly legal.
His iconic jumpshhot over Craig Elho of the cavs is so iconic its crazy.
A Spectacular artist is what he was...
yall need to check out some hakeem olajuwon highlights. greatest footwork ever and super skilled at his position. He was picked number 1 overall in the same draft that jordan was drafted 3rd and he was still so good that people dont consider it to be a mistake
I know Olajuwon's prowess, but I could never enjoy it, because he used to destroy my Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals. He made me turn off the TV before the end of the series in 1994, and I've never followed Basketball that intensely again.
The tl:dr version of the whole baseball saga is that he won three NBA championships in a row, then his father was murdered and he quit to try baseball (played for a minor league Chicago White Sox affiliate, wasn't very good), then he returned to the NBA after 18 months and proceeded to win three more championships in a row.
I got to see Michael Jordan play Ball in High School. He graduated a year before me. Michael Jordan wore 23 because he said he was half as good as his older brother who was 45. That is why Michael wore 45 briefly on his return to honor his brother.
That doesn't add up lol
growing up a kid in the 90s in chicago was a great time lol
Would love to see more 90's nba reactions, especially Charles Barkley
The Goat.
Gives a whole meaning to "Air Jordan "
Great video mates! I liked it bc you guys probably really haven't seen these plays (unlike most reactors, 🤫)... And by the way, even if you look at the advanced stats we have today, Jordan is #1 in almost every meaningful statistic
Jordan actually has the best stats, analytics, and overall the most accomplishments. He has the best argument case as the GOAT.
