His Airness ; Michael Jordan's Best Dunks

- All dunks were from about 600 games out of 1109 MJ had played with bulls. Because of editing program's continuous and fatal errors, I was obliged to finalize in a hurry. So, this video is a failure with bad quality and bad music choice.

jordan was better dunker than dominique wilkins if you agree THUMB UP
Jordan jumped off one foot, Dominique was a two foot jumper... Mike was quick and smooth, Dominique was deliberate and powerful...🏀🦾
@anthonylee5982 are you watching these highlights? Jordan jumps off two the majority of the dunks
Jordan is one of the few athletes that get the same amount of roar fro the crowd regardless if he's playing away or at home
MICHAEL JORDAN IS THE MOST ICONIC PLAYER IN NBA HISTORY.
And we all can see how he almost never freaked out after a dunk showing his biceps or screaming at the crowd! Always ready to get back to defend! Real player!
Thats true, He only did that with certain players,
@@kratossparta3828 Particularly against The Knicks & The Pistons 😁😉
And have you noticed… the second he lands he is springing back onto defence almost instantly?
YES! It was always about basketball, not his BRAND after every play
Act like you've done it before. The dunk was the spectacle not the dumb antics afterwards...
MJ dunked on every great big man in his era. Mike was strong, fast and had an amazing vertical. His basketball IQ was fantastic, plus he had the biggest hands in the game. Now we need to talk about his competitiveness... Unparalleled.
The dunks are works of art, but I'm more impressed that he is doing it against some of the best defensive teams and players that ever played the games.
The 1991 season where Jordan fakes out both John Starks and Charles Oakley and posterized Patrick Ewing was the greatest dunk I've ever seen. No one has been able to duplicate that dunk.
Yes. I agree. I'm sure you appreciate just how high Mike got on Ewing. Wow!
The only player who can do "leaning dunks" and made it look beautiful to watch.
That's because, imo, he's the only player who can do a _proper_ "leaner dunk" -- as in the real thing.
It requires insane SPRINGS for lift coupled with a CAT-like body control. Then, if you have both those: on top of that, you also must have BIG MITTS, not just large hands.
This is why MJ is the only dude to ever actually do a _legit_ "leaner." Not trying to idolize MJ: just stating reality.... as I see it.
Magic Johnson always said Jordan had the strength of a big man and with his athleticism it’s ridiculous!!
Outstanding! I really miss MJ!!!
19:03 Jordan was the sickest dunker ever.
Such style and grace, he was so exciting to watch. How quickly people forget. LJ has nothing on him.
They saw the old mj.
MJ has all the greatest videos on every position on the game, dunk, triple, final shot, close eyes shot, defense, GOAT I'm glad I see playing this game
My personal opinion , looking at MJ play is like looking at a masterpiece art, some will see passion, some see elegance , some see sheer will to win, and it's all true because that's how he plays. Looking at Lebron play is like looking at a powerful machine at work, it has the power and strength in the play, however a machine works systematically , its programmed , so in the beginning you will get the excitement but as time progress it will become that much exciting anymore because you know what his next move is going to be, but for MJ, you really never know what he is gona do next, a fadeaway? left or right? or is it going to be a quick step drive to the hoop? is it gona be a reverse? or a dunk? or a pass to the outside for someone who is open? you never know, and that's where the excitement comes in, that's why every night he is putting on a show, that's why whenever MJ is playing, the tickets is sold out almost every time, to me that's the difference between MJ and Lebron, both are one of the greatest to play in their position, however MJ is still my pick for the GOAT.
Lebron isn’t even close to being the goat longevity is his only advantage
Amazing.... how can there be a comparison between MJ and anyone else in the world much less the NBA.
Jordan's footwork is perfect in every dunk. It seems like he's able to change to a variety of one/two foot options within one dribble. Palms the ball at will. Also didn't realise how far he lands after he dunks. Shows the speed at which he jams.
Absolute GOAT
speed, power, and explosiveness off of one or two feet
He mad it seem so effortless.

THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER MICHAEL JORDAN.
how come i watched many mj videos and never got tired watching, his repertoire is simply amazingly unbelievabull
MJ was so quick and he can able to dunk anywhere and anytime he want
Jordan did this in the era of NBA giants where basket was crowded by 7 feet centers and 6-10/11 power forwards.
***** That, and hard fouls were the norm specifically against him.
And most importantly, bigs stood in the middle constantly. These guys didn't have to move out of the paint ever and if you watch games back then, the paint was always crowded. Today, you have some legit bigs, but all of them are constantly away from the basket.
Teams were stacked
How beautiful does Micheal Jordan make basketball look.
It amazes that people don’t realise this is the best there ever will be.
You forgot hand checking! that's huge
Coming from Detroit...and always a true piston from before the bad boy erra this isn't easy to say...
But that DAMN MICHAEL JORDAN was and still is THE BEST THIS GAME has ever seen...
I mean the very best....
zero weaknesses... defense or offense THE VERY BEST.... Im including EVERYBODY...even up until now....... PERIOD...
I WOULD never have admitted this years ago... however truth is Truth... sheese
Tell them again , I don't think them you !
He's the GOD-MAN of Basketball , ask Larry Bird he'll tell you !
And to all those Jordan haters , look at it and weep ! The hate for this man will haunt you for ever.
15:08 ......is that what you're talking about ?
I like how he just flies by the defender. He makes it look so easy. It's like the guy isn't even there, he just flies by them and does his thing.
I love how it looks like sometimes he jumps like any other guy but sometimes he just gets way up there and kind of hang at the highest point or maybe he doesn't hang but keeps going up and up when the others have stopped rising. The best ever.
Man Jordan is a beast! WOW he is in class by himself.
Michael Jordan is the greatest thing to ever happen to CZcams.
I remember those beautiful moments, Michael made us dream, He's just the best player of all the time!
Man, when you a 2 -shooting guard and someone has to cull your best dunks DOWN to a 27 minute video -you were probably the best. In the case of MJ -you ARE the Best Ever.
Chuck Manilla great comment 👍
Damn. Good point. Think about that
He also has a 12 minute video with him doing just reverse layups. Think about that for a second, it’s insane that he has a video that long with just reverse layups. There isn’t any player ever who could have that long of a video with just reverse layups. Insanity
Man so great to see that beautiful lean dunk, and the funny thing is, he jumped over everybody from 6 to 7 ft tall AND he always dunked the ball with one hand only in traffic... man so great!
One hand over 7'. That's crazy! And he was 6'5,at best 6'6.
Greatest player by far. Amazing to see the dunks at the end well into his 30's and can still get some serious air. Like someone commented I've never seen a dunker that can lean into his dunks like MJ could. The kiss the rim dunk is still my fav dunk of all time...
Amen
That and the Carter Olympics dunk
@@chadbuhlthetexasrapper4021 Vince carter never really did many leaner dunks like Jordan
No use comparing...only 3 minutes of video, anyone can see why he is the Greatest Of All Time.
JORDAN DUNKING TO ANY SONG MAKES IT A GOOD SONG
i swear this guy can fly!!! just unreal
I miss 90's nba.
Holy shit 5:50 he crosses and goes to the rim so goddamn fast
Jordan attacked the rim with no regard for anyone but the way he dunked was pure smooth and artistic
man im not even at 1 minute 30 sec yet and already you knew this guy didn't care who was in his way. he's like, I'm dunking on you. what guard does that even now a days?
18:20
Watch it and be prepared to rub your eyes profusely and be rendered speechless. Simply the GREATEST of all time.
So many posterized dunks , MJ is de GOAT !!!
Watching 2-13-2020.
People show your kids these videos.
The GREATEST PLAYER EVER.
until now. he's the legend of all legends and the best player EVER for me ! :D MJ
Mj had more ankle breaker/facial combos than anyone ever! Definition of ankle breaker/facial: He loses his first opponent man on the way to the basket with the versatility of stutter steps, change of directions, spin moves, change of speeds, leaving his opponent off-balance or falling, and then reaches the next opponent (or two) at the hoop and dunks in their face, again leaving them off-balance or falling. MJ was so strong and fast that players were falling like dominoes everywhere!!!
I've seen Jordans top 50 dunks, 50 layups, hang time etc and I defy anyone that could challenge any of those highlights. Imagine the ones that didn't make the top 50. The man is a once in a lifetime athlete
… and don’t forget his team mates saying, that he did even more crazy things in practice…. What a pitty that all these scenes never got recorded…. Just imagine
He has a 12 minute video with just reverse layups!!!! Think about that for a second, do you know how ridiculous it is for him to have that many reverse layups??? There isn’t any player ever who could have a 12 minute video with just reverse layups
Thanks for not slowing down most of the dunks. We can see full speed how ferocious MJ is.
Anyone who says MJ was not the GOAT is blind or dumb. No disrespect to Russell, Kobe, Kareem, Magic, Lebron, Bird, Wilt, etc,,,but MJ had something no other player ever had--Kobe copied MJ. Kobe is a better 3 pt shooter, but I'll take MJ in his prime over any other player past, present, or future.
the only other answer I even respect is Wilt, but it's Jordan no question
Preach! Showtime MJ
Kobe was perphaps a better 3 point shooter because MJ never wanted to be one (back in the day 3 point shots was a extra weapon, not a everyday tool as today's game)....tell that to Portland about Jordan wanting to prove he was better player than Drexler in that series. Agree MJ the 🐐
@@theheebs100 The only answer I accept is Kareem because of his career success in all levels of basketball
Kobe wasn't a better 3 point shooter
The most criminally UNDERRATED MJ dunk video on CZcams. This should have 5 million views by now.
bwink23 true
Dude this is an INCREDIBLE collection!!! Best I've seen online.
I ve seen these highlights hundreds of times and I am still amazed!!!!!
Perfect opening song,. 3 Doors Down - 'Champion in Me'. There will NEVER be another dunker like Mike. MJ is one of the most incredible basketball players in NBA history. Jordan & Chamberlain were the 2 best athletes to ever lace em up! When MJ scored 49 & then 63 in the 1986 playoffs against the Celtics (best starting 5 ever assembled) in the Boston Garden, I knew he was going to one day blow the NBA away! The reward for challenging MJ was a 'Golden Facial.'
Michael Jordan's greatness is a pure talents.
Nothing like hearing Johnny "Redd" going crazy over a Jordan Dunk!
It was after watching this video when LeBron realized he wasn’t the greatest of all time. Watch and learn LeBron! MJ, thanks for the memories. You are and always will be the GOAT!
21:45 MJ pulls it back and then finishes two handed. I don't have a favorite dunk ( he has so many ridiculous dunks that its hard to pick the best) but right now this one's blowing my mind!!! :)
One of my favorites too. Very stylish. Only MJ showed this take-time-and-alter-movements-in-the-air kind of dunks, lay-ups and put-backs.
True airborne dancer!
How soon they forget. GOAT
Michael Jordan played every moment like it was his last, giving the other players a living hell,n it left him in a higher sphere than the others, even though he respects his competitives
Just when I'm thinking LeBron might be getting closer to M.J. I pull up this video. Four minutes in i'm like NAH forget it. 'Bron can NEVER come close. This is "AIR" Jordan man...Case Closed!!!
it been 2003 it 2018 he still not ever closed to being the next MJ the goat what a joke millennial are today Lebron still idiot ball hog just look at 2017-2018 season
You Nailed it Sir 😂😂😂
No more discussion,
Jordan dunking on slow footed Goons and hackers from days gone bye.
#LebronGOAT
@@Jurssicparkfan facts
@@Jurssicparkfan he would have dunked on LBJs face at will. Don’t kid yourself
Wow, awesome video, never seen some of these dunks before, thanks for uploading it. MJ had all the moves, poor Mourning, Ewing, Barkley couldn't stop him, he would go over them, through them, around them, lol, amazing dunks and the rules were better back then. The game is faster and the players are bulkier, but MJ still looks so fast and unique. Hard to believe if ever be another MJ. Fancy dunks and 6 championships and a great show :)
He. Takesoff from the 3rd block ROUTINELY. smh what a monster.
The dunk on Laimbeer has got to be one of the most underrated dunks in history. Where he took off from, not losing control of the ball, it's just unreal. Would like to see that slowed down in HD.
Right at and over Mark Eaton -- 7'4" He just didn't give a damn who was in his way.
FACTS! 5'3 or 7'7 you were getting flushed on if you were in the paint when he took flight.
Oh yeah MJ its incredible how many dunks MJ did in his 13season in the nba? and how many dunks LBJ and Charles Barkley did in there 13season n the nba? Pls. Let me know we want to know pls?
Jordan is so quick even if he had defenders in front of him he had a slam b4 they they can react but even they had reacted early thats when mj's upper body streght took place knocking back those who tried to jump and stop his attacks.really unstoppable and thats "THE REAL GOAT" period!
The best baseline player ever. GOAT
So true, whether a sick dunk or reverse layup, prob the quickest 6'6 player ever!
Mike was banging on a lot of centers and power forwards. Crazy.
His footwork is on another level, breaking ankles 😶😂
After every dunk, zero chest pounding, zero stand still and look at croud, zero celebration. Just an immediate run down back the court to play defense. The difference between todays so called "stars" Lebron, vince carter literally can't make a nice dunk and run back to play defense. They must celebrate, they must say "look at me", they must pound chest and give up basket on other side. Jordan's only weakness was that he was too good, because of that he got bored.
You are so right! Jordan celebrated professionally by not celebrating at all. He acted like he had been there before and he didn't scream or pound his chest like an idiot usually giving up a basket while he's praising himself. Sadly, that killer instinct doesn't exist in the NBA today. Jordan didn't give a shit who was in his way...he just went at them 100%, plus. Even big guys who are tough to get over were scared silly of MJ b/c they didn't want to be on his posters. What a beast! The NBA has never been the same since MJ left!
Mike is all business.
+rebar33 bored?? of MJ ?? NEVEEEER !!
I watch this clip several times every week. MJ's dunks never get old to me.
agreed, accept the bored part
There's no one that has ever played basketball(that I've seen) that look anything comparable to what make is as a basketball player. no one with the balance, patience, athletic and physical prowess, from his first day in the nba to his last, he never took a pressured shot, and always got to his spot, creating HIS opportunity, seeing it threw. he's like a hologram, you see the game and jumps in and out of spots, no plays with such ease. He is the strongest finished in basketball, pay attention how he ends his dunks the ball hitting his tm in the head, he consumed all the space most time when he wasn't showing off, you had no room to jump. He controlled the game like a video game, because of his grace, he was so mechanical they could record him in a game, as they would record other players with green screens one on one...
It's was always fundamentals 1, 2, 3 dripples 1, 2,3 dripples shot., fundamental, basic training, he perfect it into an arts, basic fundamentals, most will truly never understand...
wow 27 minutes of flying through heaven. amazing video compilation I have to pause just to appreciate how much there is.
Jordan has sturdy but light bones.. that's why he jumps and moves so easily.... love it! :)
like a bird right?
Gianpaolo Mazzini's
The basketball MJ played 20 years ago people will play and trying to use and learn all his movies for another century..
MJ is the real GOAT forever
MJ is the past present and the future
Omg. You can never ever get tired of watching all this awesomeness 👌
I noticed no one is even trolling...this guy is even above the TROLL-TROLLS I guess. hahhaha we all seem to be in agreement...This is the tuffest baller who ever laced up some sneakers....
lmao
It is almost as if he moves with superhuman speed and ferocity that cannot be matched by ordinary humans, even when these humans are worldclass athletes and professional basketball players.
This video is so well made. I watch it multiple time every year lol. I love how it starts off with music then adds the commentary. Unreal video.
MJ's games are the most entertaining and exciting to watch, and I'm not even a bball fan.
He got so many spectacular moves.
I'm sorry. Anyone who watches this and doesn't understand how MJ is the GOAT (even without all the other offensive and defensive things he brought) is nuts. He - completely - changed the game. He destroyed legends, and especially in his early years outclassed the entire NBA. He was the catalyst that created the game we have today, and did it through the gauntlet of thuggery, intensity and physicality that just doesn't exist in today's NBA. He was a force of nature. If Scotty Pippen personified the silent, deadly assassin, MJ was the rage-filled yawp from the sky that had players running out of his way...
so glad to have growen up in Michael Jordans time playing the best player of all time bar none!.
The Best EVER.
ALL SPORTS included !
No one can lean like Jordan when he dunked. Look at the angle at 8:46. The body control needed to commit to leaning in the air like that and being able to straighten up and land perfectly is almost inhuman.
Notice how a lot of players seem to lack the balance in the air that Jordan had? It's why you see a lot of awkward looking dunks and landings, guys almost stumbling when they come down.
2:47, hes in the air so long he relaxes mid flight
The quintessential athlete
The dunks are great, don't get me wrong. What I find most entertaining when I watch the video is the reactions from the opposing teams benches.. They are the highest of high entertainment, and unintentional comedy..
BEST JORDAN CZcams VIDEO EVER!!! Beautiful ART WORK!!!
Commentator around 12:40 “Gerald Wilkins. The misfortune of facing this FLYING MACHINE.”
And that move was _lightning_ quick - I'm still tripping on it
3:37 THE best ever.
Man I just can't get enough of this. He kept me awake so many nights till 4-5 AM Europe time. His game was poetry in motion.
THE MOMENTUM THAT HE GETS FROM RUNNING & HOW HIGH HE JUMPS I DON'T KNOW WHY THESE DEFENDERS EVEN BOTHER TO JUMP WITH HIM, ONCE HE JUMPS IT'S ALL OVER. HE'S ALMOST A BLUR RUNNING BY. AMAZING.
Tremendous work Med!!! As usual, it's a pleasure to watch for your work. Thanks again for keeping fresh our memories of the GOAT!! Titles not included, people don't realize the level of artistry of MJ. Never seen before and so far...
that sideways dunk is unstoppable...
10 years later.. Airmazing!
I love it when people add the commentary/crowd reaction into the videos. It just makes it so much better.
best dunker and player ever, period!
when this man got up no matter how tall u was 6-7-8 feet tall didnt matter lol only dude i no that took off on hole teams if they was in the paint j was a killer todays nba is soft an weak good video...
MJ IS THE REAL SUPERMAN !!! HE FLEW THROUGH THE AIR!!! KABOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
he make it looks so easy!
The only player I can think of with the athleticism class and nous that is unmatchable to this day!
GOAT
Simply the best ever basketball player on earth
The greatest in game dunker of all time. MJ didn't give a shit about these flashy dunks today where guys are jumping over cars etc in the dunk contest. For him, dunking was about effectiveness in games. He could grip the ball with his ridiculously huge hands - MJ could dunk in serious traffic, over guys, with one hand and quickly dunk. He didn't have to bend down, hold the ball with two hands, wind up and windmill dunk like others - this takes more time - an extra half second perhaps which, in game situations, is a lifetime.
That's why others dunk only on fast breaks or when nobody is nearby as even a little contact will cause them to lose control of the ball. MJ just took a step, jumped real quickly and because he gripped the ball, he extended with one hand to the basket. He almost never wound up his arm as he never needed to like other today and yesterday. And because he gripped the ball, he could dunk even when taking some contact. Only Kawhi could possibly do this today amongst perimeter players as he has the same huge hands which is so rare today amongst the perimeter guys.
Boogie Loo kawhi has longer hands than jordan but not quite as wide tho
BASELINE JORDAN!!!!! That's same as Shaq - Shaq's longer but not as wide as Jordan's. Wideness is actually better tho, and I don't say as a fanboy. That's just a known thing among scouts
Think about that: MJ has effectively bigger b-ball hands than Shaq. Weird
How can anyone compare dunkers... the most versatile dunker, most artistic dunker, most facials, and better yet - most multi-player facials... so many stylish dunks that HAVEN'T been repeated 20 years after him, which is silly considering the athleticism of players today. And we all know he could have dunked over a 7 footer in the NBA if he wanted (not some 7 foot european in a non-nba game like VC did), but he wasn't stupid enough to take that chance like VC. If a 7 footer jumps even a few inches or raises his arm/shoulder, it's possibly bye-bye career after a broken neck or back. VC should be blessed he lasted this long in the league for not getting injured in that play. People don't want to accept the true danger in that dunk because he just made it look easy, but it's ridiculous to do something like that. If it weren't dangerous, you would have seen 'Nique, Jordan and Gerald Green jumping over centers every year!
from 3:31, this dunk isn't sick, but the break to the hoop left my jaw on the floor. 2 steps and it's another poster. unreal. And I love the contact finish at the end. Still can't figure out how he split the defenders on that drive. I see the screen, but he's past all 3 guys so fast it's impossible to compute. that acceleration, seriously how do you guard something like that?
The closest to MJ was only Black mamba that is it! LB is good but not great at all. Wilt, Karem, Larry, Magic, and few more is way better than LB
You can not guard or stop a flying machine at all
whole action is sick dunk included.
all i remember when i watched him play..once he get on the base line ..its a high light
