MJ is the definition of basketball... He sets the standard
Only with Kukoc and Pippen
I wasn't a Jordan fan back in the day as a teen. He denied all my players of the 90s that I supported from achieving glory.. He was so damn good. Played the big moments like no one else... That ability to levitate and almost change decision and survey his options in mid air I have never comprehended... People can argue statistics to make claims for other players, but his overall record and aura has this guy in a universe all his own... What a player....!
Real talk. You are saying facts. Im from Chicago. But I rooted for Pistons and Magic back then because of Grant Hill and Penny Hardaway. Shoot. Still, Jordan was not having any of it. I never was a Jordan fan. But I will admit he is the GOAT MJ23👑 . And he did not need a superteam to accomplish anything.
BOOM! That last sentence!!
facts, was never into basketball till the last dance came out and i saw MJ for the first time and swear he had an aura, when i saw a clip of Allen Iverson saying the same thing i was glad lol. He just looks and feels different and his game is just something to watch, his record and accolades are phenomenal as well so i agree he is in a universe of his own.
You should get an award for honesty and being real.
There is no universe where Lebron is even near MJ.
It's much easier to win a title than ten consecutive scoring titles.
You can sit on the bench and get a ring. Lebron is a forward and still only has one scoring title.
Bro there’s an entire first ballot HOF career separating them...
2 championships,2 finals mvps,1 league mvp,3 steals titles,9 scoring titles,3 all def 1st teams,1 DPOY award,2 dunk titles and a national championship...And yes the national championship counts because it’s the basketball HOF,not the nba HOF.
So,there’s that much separation between MJ & lebrons career accomplishments,and lebron has played 6 more seasons (so far) then MJ.
But anyways,thats just one way of showing how it’s not even close.And how this ‘debate’ is clearly a media manufactured,agenda driven farce.It has been since day one.
MiJ didn’t just win, he made the game look beautiful. So much artistry with the greatness and dominance.
Exactly....that makes him different far far far from other player😊
He let we know what is sport spirit even he got sick, he still does his best to support his team

But he made this sport looks like a one man show. Great player but he miss to kill the game.
I watch this and seriously think that Jordan was more athletic than LeBron...athleticism is not just about speed and jumping, dude looked so smooth on every move he ever made.
Lebrun can jump and run in straight lines. He is also a quite big fellow, which augments his athletic characteristics' efficiency. He lacks stamina, lateral quickness, agility (if we are to compare him to the all time greats) and explosiveness.
Jordan was faster and had a 4 inch higher vertical leap than Lebron. Lbj is bigger
Johny B great breakdown
@@darrellhardy90 I know Jordan had the highest vertical leap in NBA history at nearly 50 inches so he's definitely got LeBron on that but straight line foot speed there's no evidence of that he's faster than LeBron.
@@yunggpacino MJ and Lebrons fastest recorded times. Jordan ran a 4.3, Lebron ran a 4.6. I mean, they're pretty close but MJ was 1/2 a step faster. Look up some early Jordan footage where he just went to the basket every other time, he was quick af
Michael Jordan is the greatest competitor of all time. Period!!!!
In all sports!
He has the best shooting form, so smooth...and the best fadeaways, ball handling, footwork..not to mention the beautiful dunks. And he plays good defense as well. He's just perfect.

Facts!!!
LeBron the new goat sadly
@@chefcurry9130 flopping goat
@@chefcurry9130 Going On Another Team
When MJ didn’t make the high school team he shot in his backyard and mastered the game of basketball.
Main reason for Jordan being considered as the goat from those who saw him live, and those who have taken the time to study film, is the fact that he was the goat.
Look at this shit, this is beyond absurd. He guarded the much bigger Magic Johnson for 7/10s of the series (dont believe the bullshit that Pippen took that task, watch the full games), picking him up FULL COURT. I shit you not, he was pressing Magic fucking Johnson from one basket the other for the whole series. He was drawing double and tripple teams for the whole series and throwing laser beam passes to his teamates under the basket, averaging more than 11 assists per game. ACTUAL ASSISTS, as in giving the ball to his teamates under the basket to lay it in uncontested (not passing it to someone 35ft from the basket to make a defended 3....). He was scoring in everyway possible with his right, with his offhand, midrange, longrange, in the paint, posting up, off the ball, off the dribble, crossing over with the left, crossing over with the right, stepping back, beating a double team, beating a tripple team, beating four at once, averaging 31 ppg (bare in mind Bulls were scoring 100 ppg, compared to today where they score 120 in the finals) and as much as the next two Bulls (Pippen and Grant) on fucking 56% AS A TWO GUARD. He was making all the clutch shots, including the one that tied game 3 over Divac. On top of that, he scored *13 consecutive baskets in a game* (all time NBA Finals record). And of course, as per usual, he provided us with highlights for all time (as the famous reverse hand lay up). And he did all that, with the outmost finesse.
This is beyond absurd, this is unfathomable. The level of activity, of stamina (there is nobody today that could defend someone basket to basket for a whole series, let alone do that and combine it with what Jordan did offensively), of efficiency, of leadership, of artistry, of skill, of imagination, all combined and manifested at the max and leading to victory.
If Jordan hadnt happened, one couldn have imagined it was possible to play basketball like that. If film wasnt available, descriptions couldn do it justice.
Great man !!!
and people dare to say that Lebron is better hahahah nope,
The GOAT of all GOATS. Hands down.
It's amazing how Jordan had quite different phases of his career and dominated in each one. Just in a different way. Early on he was relentlessly aggressive, then here he was just an all around master of the game, then the second 3 peat he toned the physical aggressiveness down and was more of a cerebral force, It's like he adapted and evolved in ways that enabled him to stay at the apex of basketball for so long. His career was just an incredible display of greatness.
Well said.
Perfectly said
Yep, his 2nd 3 peat is the most polished mj ive seen.
The evolution of his game is a beautiful thing to watch. His turnaround fade away is still the most indefensible shot in history, up there with the Sky Hook.
Not one person in NBA history can finish a layup like Jordan...dude was a damn contortionist.
Check out Rose 2011... otherwise agree
Kyrie Iriving makes the craziest layups. He's shorter and not as atheltic but will get to the hole somehow all the time
I would say that Rodman was the best rim finisher on that team. I watched that whole Bulls season live. Very, very rare for him to miss at the rim. And if he did, that was his rebound.
Life is short. They all look so young in this video and now they all look so old. Crazy how life flies by so quick.
No one will ever have the tenacity that Jordan had or his competitive spirit!!!!!! Facts 💯 The Greatest to ever do it....👍
I don't agree with that. I do agree with no one will ever have the skill level insaine athletic ability and hard working ability to go along with the tenacity and competitive spirit. Russell Westbrook has the tenacity and competitive but doesn't have the offensive game and isn't the best backcourt defender also. Nor is he clutch like M.J. ...M.J. was more than a competitor and great athlete. He was SELF MOTIVATED LIKE A MOFO . And was a elite athlete and CLUTCH. He had a aura somehow he was gonna win the game.

You just don't see games played like this anymore. They had so much fire and energy back then. Makes the NBA look like a joke today.

Michael Jordan shows in this game why he is the greatest of all time. He never takes breaks on either offense or defense. He left it all on the floor and he did it every one of those six times that he went to the finals. Guys like LeBron take vacations on defense even in the finals. LeBron will never be on Michael Jordans level.
MJ during first 3 peat was simply amazing.
+歡笑一籮筐 and his second?
axlrosea675 He was better in 1st 3 peat. 2nd 3 peat only proved his will, but not ability.
All right, I also loved watching his 2nd 3 peat, his fade away, spin move, but in 1st 3 peat, he was over all better offensive player, and had better stamina to do more things.
歡笑一籮筐 ok. guess we have shitty bodies if we start deterioting that early.
+Black Star I think he was a better player in his second 3 peat, he was more conscious on the floor, even him said his best season was the 1995-96, became a better overall jump shooter but in his first 3 peat he was more athletic that's for sure.
+axlrosea675 There's no question that MJ was much better individually during the 1st 3 peat. Much better. His performances/stats were in a totally different stratosphere compared to his performances during the 2nd 3-peat. He was still great during the 2nd one, don't get me wrong. But if you don't recognize that he was waaaaay better during the first 3peat, there's something wrong with you.
Does anyone actually believe that if Jordan felt he needed to be the best passer in the game in order to win, he wouldn't have been the best passer in the game... every bit if not better than LeBron? I for one wouldn't bet against him. Most underrated passer of all time as is.
Well if someone challenged him he could. When he played point the league shouted "unfair". As what Doc Rivers back then said, it's a scary thought. Isiah also said that MJ can be the goat PG during that time, better than his bff Magic! They were right though, 10 triple doubles in 11 games in 30+ppg... 😁
All he needed was for someone to challenge him and then it would've been on he loved a challenge
Lookup what Jordan did the games he played the PG position...it was triple double after triple double something like 7 in a row and he averaged almost 10 assists...but Lebrons the better passer lol
@@arthurthomas4204 Jordan Would've Taken It Personal
He would have TAKEN IT PERSONAL and entered god-mode if anyone challenged him to a passing contest. #MJMentality
Man! Watching this MJ (still young, exuberant and BOUNCY) hungry for his first championship just brings back a lot of joyful memories!
MJ is the greatest b/c he changed the paradigm for winning with a dominant wing player as opposed to having a traditionally dominant center.
This is spot on. He also changed the speed of the game. Watch the early videos from the 80s and its almost like something new and revolutionary arrived with Jordan. He was like the Tasmanian devil out there.
Michael Jordan is the greatest player of all time.

Me neither. If there was a player better then MJ I haven't seen it lol

lebron got a big mouth but not bigger than his ego
This was the very start of the summer before my freshman year of high school. I taped each game on the vcr and literally spent every single day that summer watching each game and pausing and rewinding play after play from Jordan. I did it so much the vcr tapes wore out. I would do chair sits in my room the entire time I watched with the chair close enough to push vcr buttons and then when I couldn't wait any longer would run directly outside and practice the moves over and over for a couple hours then go right back in to watch and do chair sits. I didn't just do this for a week or two but the ENTIRE summer. My mom thought I was crazy. That was until school started and that Oct basketball started. I made varsity and ended up starting after a couple games and went on to be the all-time leading scorer at my high school and held the record from 1996 to around 2011 or so. I also ended up having around a 40 inch vertical from all those chair sits. For the young ones reading every word of this is true and if you want something bad enough just know you can usually get it with nothing more than sheer work and determination. Thanks for posting. I have not seen these in years and watching brought back some incredible memories and emotions. Michael Jordan in this series embodies the closest anyone will ever get to a perfect basketball player. Coming up during his playing days was a gift to not only future athletes but fans alike.
I did something similar. I just threw out my VCR tapes last year.
@@metaviewx2091 I haven't thrown mine out yet.
Legacy Adventures - I love your story and can relate. I destroyed perfectly new clothes by taking a red sharpie to them (writing "Bulls 23" on the chest and pant legs). I had Air Time & Come Fly with Me both memorized and I don't mean reciting it while they played. I mean I could recite all 40 minutes "accapella" including the down beat from the music. Different era.
As I told the other guy, I still have my box of VCRs somewhere...
I never thought I'd hear of someone as obsessed with Jordan as I was, but your story has me reconsidering. We could definitely talk. Cheers

I miss the days when players didn't complain on every single foul.

1:16 OMG... He showed Magic I can beat you at your Game. While also playing my Game which is why he's THE G.O.A.T.
jordan back to the rim was so deadly. especially during the 2nd 3peat when he developed that deadly fadeaway.
Man, this is just a master class of offensive basketball. The style of shooting, the jab steps, the passing, cross-overs, reverse lay-ups. Everything. Very nicely edited too. Looking at MJ in his prime, it's as if a team of scientists genetically engineered the perfect basketball player and let him loose in the NBA.
forget the 6-0 vs 3-6 (that's a team accomplishment)and forget the stats (lebron is bigger he should get more rebounds and plays are ran through lebron where as Jordan played in the triangle offense so he's not going to get as many assist) just by what you said the jab step, the cross over, the reverse layup not to mention the DEFENSE no doubt Jordan was better than lebron. and I'm a lebron defender.
Genus Tinca basically
Damn he must have been from out of space. He is not earthly
And he hasn't even perfected his fadeaway here yet. GOAT
I grew up on Jordan also. But you got to admit labron was taking a sack of ham sandwiches to the finals. Until he got to Miami.
"To guard him one on one---a nightmare!"
Yupp
well, to guard him three on one---- a nightmare too!
To guard him two on one~~two nightmares!
Double team was his breakfast
Michael was the greatest of all time. It was a pleasure to watch all his accomplishments while I was growing up! The most memorable were dropping 3's on Portland, beating one of his best friends, coming back ! Winning number 4 on Fathers day and the Flu game after retirement no.2 No one did it better and one ever will...
MJ is a artist so versatile no weaknesses in his game!
The best team mates of all time "Chicago Bulls"
Every time you see Michael Jordan dunk, those wings always expand out his back; causing his him to fly like an eagle.
Never seen anyone move with such grace.
Michael was completely dominant this series simply ready for the challenge. He was everywhere

Minecraft Kid lebron stats are at time similar but his game has never been based on scoring only if necessary.
It's best to compare Lebron to Magic and Bird. Jordan focused on scoring and added everything else. Lebron focuses on passing first, scoring second, rebounding third, depending upon need. Different players, different roles. You can compare Jordan to Elgin Baylor or Wilt Chamberlain, both of whom focused on scoring.
This is a classic display of a guy making the players around him better...something that the late, great Kob's lacked in his game... RIP Mamba.
Jordan was such an underrated passer! He wasn't good at it, he was GREAT!
the double nickel game winner. jordan to wennington (cartwright wasn't playing that quarter) i believe. remember that?
Best passer in the NBA MJordan .
@Gary Thompson wilt,russell,kareem are centres I am pretty sure jordan passed better than wilt,russell,kareem.
Kdot Mart glad you pointed that out I was thinking the same thing
Passing, not playmaking, is easy man. Jordan could avoid 2-3 players at a time and put the ball inside a narrow basket better than anybody else in history, throwing that shit close to someone's hands should have been easier than walking to him.
Those games in LA were unreal. Michael Jordan came out in those games and solidified himself as a force the league had to reckon with.
Man was a machine. Nothing else you can say
***** yeah cuz no one gets old. Smdh
***** You're a clown making statements like that! What're you a teenager who wasn't even born in 1991! Get real! If anyone can criticize Michael Jordan's performance in the NBA, there is no such thing as a great player! GOAT bar none!

Call 911 please someone got killed .
Today players are busy with their signature celebrations after every basket, it looks so unnatural.
I remember one time LBJ hitting a clutch basket. Then he went close to midcourt, paused, waited for the cameras to follow him and then performed his silly signature celebration. It is so idiotic.
@@YS-el3hm Agreed, I have never liked all these stupid exaggerated celebration, like the dance moves, pointing to sky, flexing muscles. Even on offense, players today spent too much time dancing on fancy dribbles, look at MJ, he only took a one two dribbles and exploded to the basket, so clean so graceful.
Jordan elevated his game to god mode in the playoffs. GOAT.

No individual player has ever played at the level that Jordan was playing at during these times, NO ONE!!!!
Never realized how much Jordan said “aah” while he dunked. 😂
MJ absolutely tortured Byron Scott! I bet Byron had nightmares for months after this series.
He dealt with the nightmares in therapy
He Had PTSD Fasho 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Byron Scott said that he enjoyed guarding MJ because he was smart enough to never piss him off. I think he's fine. If only some of his teammates knew better.
I love the physical game of the 90s' when players are sharing each other sweat.
JORDAN EVERAGED 31.2 ppg,11 .apg,6,6rpg,2.8spg, 1,4bpg. and 56 percent shooting FIEL AMAZING.
The will of Michael Jordan was second to none. BEYOND DRIVEN.
Grant had to be careful not to slip into watching MJ like a fan coz MJ would always find him with a lightning quick pass if he was open. MJ the assist king!
I still remember me and my cousin breaking my bed from jumping up and down during these Finals and being punished for it. This was my favorite Finals from MJ because it's like we knew they were more to come. MJ played like he couldn't miss and his athleticism was unreal.
You can tell from the Lakers body language that they we're trying to compete as hard as they could. But it's pretty clear that they are in Awe of him.
If to count MJ's buzzer beater at the end of each quarter, the field goal percentage would be like 60~70%. Clutch as fuck.
I think that the bulls will always go down in history as a great basketball team.
The era of Jordan is the most beautiful to watch, he's seeking for legacy, always😁😁😁🗿
One thing I notice about his game is he never played flat footed. He’s always on his toes exploding to the rim.
And that's the thing. His mind is always on getting to the hole. The perimeter is never his first option. It makes perfect sense he plays on his toes ready on go mode.
That's is super power move! Mj 23😊👍💯
Somewhere in Italy, Kobe was taking notes. Trying to copy the fade-aways.

Game 2 you witnessed history in the making that lay up Mj had Phil Jackson shocked in everybody else that’s true AirArt
Man, Jordan's game is so much more in rhythm and fluid than watching Kobe play. I'm not a hater either, pretty big Kobe fan, but if Kobe developed a better team-focused mindset -- he wouldn't have been so inefficient most of his career.
That's like saying you wish Picasso was better at figure drawing than Leonardo Da Vinci . Picasso was sensational but Da Vinci was genius. Kobe was AWESOME. Jordan was a God among men.

@@Rockcroc2000Rm1wE3erWmNfkL kobe God bless his soul missed the big picture for most of his career in that he imitated Jordan's physical moves but missed that critical nuance of leadership and team unity.

Lastly, if he had not retired the first time, i believe he has far more records for players now to reach and beat
I always said it. Once you see Jordan with his tongue out. Something big was coming out
Man, That switch hand layup in GM2 always gives me the chills. Who other but the GOAT could risk such a shot in a crucial Finals match.
Weren't the Bulls up by 20 points when Jordan tried the hand switch layup?
13:35, the call by Marv Albert, "OH!" gets me to this day. Then you see coach Phil Jackson smiling at the aftermath, almost saying, "That's my dog!"
@@VMakNYC Actually, I remember that play. I knew he saw the lakers player out of the corner of his eye and switched hands thinking he was going to jump and block the shot. He even mentions it in an interview. It wasn't about style; it was about instincts.

This man was amazing
Just wow
Is it just me or MJ was so great at scoring that nobody gives him credit for his passing ability 🤷🏽♂️

Jordan regularly switched plays in midair. I don’t recall seeing anyone doing that in today’s league. As least not regularly.
