#michaeljordan #nba #nbahighlights FIRST TIME WATCHING HOW DOMINANT MICHAEL JORDAN WAS @Houseofhighlights @TNTSports @espn @NBA Intro By @JasonTreumanMusic
Notice he ain’t holding the ball for 85 steps before he takes a shot? Notice all the contact he draws from other players without flopping like a fish in a boat? That’s the difference between today and yesterday. Michael was plain and simple a terrific, unstoppable basketball player.
Yall act like the league didn’t favor him for calls. Countless players from his era say refs sucked him off all game. U old heads make me laugh😂😂. Ur era is over, if u dont like this new league dont fuckin watch it lmao. Watch ur vhs tape highlights instead.
Yes, it's all in the foot work combined with the will to win and unprecedented athletic ability. It all started with the fundamentals. His top priority was winning always
I grew up as a child watching Jordan in real time, it was insane back then. No body had ever performed like that. Even then I knew I was witnessing one of the best players in history. Very lucky to have lived it.
Same. Whenever the Bulls were on TV I always watched it. I’m fortunate to have lived that. Looking back at these highlights I can honestly say that they seem just as impressive now as they did back then. Truly incredible.
Great reaction youngster. Glad you witnessed the GOAT. I fell in love with the sport in Magic's rookie season (1979). And he's my favorite player all-time but without hesitation I proclaim Jordan to be the greatest ever. I was fortunate to have seen prime Mike ball in person and the things my 20/20 vision witnessed was like nothing it had seen before or after him. Not human? That's why so many of us that saw him in person say he was an alien. You can't defend someone with zero weaknesses, and that's why he was so dominant. I remember Isiah Thomas once said that Jordan was so good that at times he made All-Star players look like high-schoolers. And what Bird said was "that was God disguised as Jordan" after MJ blew up for 63 pts. against his vaunted Celtics. Magic said it best "there's Jordan then there's everybody else." Or was it Shaq that said it best "Jordan is a 10 and there's no 9s and 8s only 7s."
Lol you too huh 😏 and I certainly value your opinion and agree with you 100% because I was a kid back then. When I was growing up, there was a fierce battle going on between Larry Legend & Magic Johnson, and I chose Magic Johnson & that is when I too fell in love with The Lakers & Magic is my favorite player of all times, but Goat Status 🐐 ( And this is not a game ) lol 😂 but the Goat is MJ # 23 all day, and it isn’t even close ✌🏾
@katrinachavez3533 same here. I fell in love with Magic in 1979. He became my favorite player his rookie season. The Lakers are my favorite team. When Jordan won the NCAA championship is when I first noticed him. I knew he was coming but I didn’t think anyone would ever be better than Magic. When Jordan came to the NBA, I had to give credit where it was due. Jordan was just more skilled than everyone else. Then Kobe came along and yes, he’s 1a and my 2nd favorite player all time. Then LeBron comes and they WANT him to be GOAT. He just can’t be it. There’s nothing he can do. Jordan is still the GOAT.
Michael was the real deal. I worked at the Chicago Stadium at the time, and it was the greatest show on earth. Sometimes I would go home early, and I noticed the streets of Chicago were empty.
Great reaction to 'MJ Ultimate Bulls Mixtape"...too bad you didn't post the entire vid. And yes, Michael Jordan is the undisputed GOAT. I'm a die-hard NY Knicks fan, but my favorite player has always been Allen Iverson (the 76ers...lol)...but even I always respected the fact that MJ was and is still the GOAT. This is how dominant MJ was and is --- he still owns the NBA record for the highest vertical ever @ 48.75 inches (almost a 49-inch vertical). To put this in context, Kobe Bryant's vertical was a full foot less at 38 inches. Let me repeat that: Kobe Bryant could only jump as high as 38 inches. Michael Jordan (the NBA record holder) could jump almost 49 inches. Also, MJ is still the only player in NBA history to win an MVP, scoring title (most PPG), DPOY (Defensive Player of the Year), and Steals leader all in the same season. He also was named to 9 All-NBA Defensive teams. If MJ had no offense, he would still be considered one of the top 5 Defensive players in NBA history. That's how dominant MJ was --- he was dominant on BOTH offense and Defense. Very scary combo.
@@PoppaCYS Facts my friend, opposing coaches built entire defenses around containing Jordan because there was no way to outright stop him from MJ doing MJ things.
Michael Jordan is and was the Goat. Don’t get me wrong-I loved watching Kobe play as well, I just never felt he was quite as good as Jordan. The Bulls, in the 90’s, were just amazing. I couldn’t wait for the games just to watch Michael play. He was simply incredible on the court!
Before he signed the contract with Nike he was going to go with Adidas they met with him and his mama told the people from Nike that he will get the percentage from everything it has to do with Michael Jordan he is made one and a half billion dollars because of his mama
💯 @lizwhitehall3929 Being from Chicago, getting to see him play live in 1992 at Chicago Stadium, and also getting to see Kobe, Shaq, Steph Curry, KD, and several others play live, nobody comes close to Jordan. Spoiled fan here lol..
@invisionholdings I understand what your saying. I got a different feeling watching him play, a feeling of intense emotion, anticipation and euphoria from what this dude did night after night.What an entertainer.Witnessing greatness. I have never seen another player that matches the ability of this 'Black Cat'. He is far superior to any other player on the basketball court that I have seen in my lifetime.And I'm 48.
48 inch vert (highest ever in NBA), insane body control, one-handed ball control, and an amazing jump shot while also winning defensive player of the year. Insane dude.
MJ was a machine. Crazy MJ stat: In his last year with the Bulls, MJ averaged holding the ball for just 3 mins 45 seconds per game and still scored just under 30 a game. So each quarter he held the ball for just a little over 56 seconds. Insane.
Wait til you see some of the other videos of MJ. Your grand dad was right, for 15 years the rest of the NBA feared Michael. And the swagger the 90s Bulls had was huge. Loved watching him play. I even skipped several Bar Exam preparation classes in 91 because I just HAD to watch MJ in the Finals. Talk about must see TV.
When MJ stuck his tongue out everyone knew something special would happen. Actually this was explained by his father in an interview, that Michael's Grandfather would stick his tongue out when concentrating on something. My father also did that. Since MJ was always really focused it happened all time. It is something you cannot control, it just happens.
These are the times that I was really into watching the NBA. The golden years I guess you could call them. After Jordan left, I started watching Kobe because he was the next best thing. But I'm sorry, I don't like LeBron and with exception of Steph Curry, most of them playing today just don't interest me.
Humans get bored quickly but who else but the lowest ratings NBA would try to convince you LeFlop Blames is the greatest and watch thrm. MJ is the G.O.A.T. Way more contact. Just more fun to watch him.
I feel the exact same way you do. Like 99% of the NBA players aren't as skilled as Kobe and MJ were. LeBron is my least favourite Basketball player, as well.
Kobe is the closest thing we’ve seen to MJ, and I’ve grown to appreciate him more after he retired. He was never quite the same level as Jordan, but I don’t think it’s right that most people just skip over him with Lebron in the GOAT conversation. I’d honestly consider taking Kobe over Lebron on my list.
as a little kid from Iceland watching Mike felt like seeing a real live superhero. 25 years later I still go to the gym in Jordan gear, top to bottom. To me he isn't just a basketball goat, he is the greatest athlete of all time some have come close like lionel messi, Usain Bolt, John Jones and a few others that represent the best humans can do... none of them one upped Jesus and walked on air! Never felt like he could disappoint, 6 times he said "watch this" with a wink and a smile and 6 times he delivered. P.S. still got the record for highest vertical in NBA history 😇
I’m a 37 year old Knicks fan and I’ve been following basketball since I was 7, so I got to watch prime Jordan and he was without question the Goat and still till this day is. There was no greater fear than facing him in the playoffs cuz he would always beat us. He was like a real life 2k player.
My young brother back in the day before the Internet when the actual stars were the stars, there were no moments like watching Michael Jordan watching Mike Tyson or watching a Michael Jackson concert those three men will give you absolute chills to see them perform
I get goosebumps every time I watch this mix tape. I am 63 years old and I have lived in Illinois my whole life, about 2.5 hours from Chicago. I watched almost every game Jordan played, if it was on tv, on good old WGN. MJ is the best, the best there ever was, the best there ever will be. The one and only GOAT. And he did it as a 6'6 guard who only weighed 215 lbs.
It was like this every single night. WGN televised all the Bulls games here in Chicago and you just HAD to see him play. It was like watching Bruce Lee in Nikes.
I saw Michael live, when I lived in Atlanta along with Dominic. He is the greatest basketball player, I have ever seen. That was the golden era of NBA basketball.
I grew up in Chicago and feel so blessed to have watched MJ play at the Bulls stadium and at the last playoff NBA finals game when the Bulls played the Suns in Phoenix. Michael Jordan did things no one had ever done before and was simply an amazing phenomena tp watch a once in history player the likes we will never see again. Truly a freak of nature a cosmic anomaly of greatness that dominated his sport like no man has dominated a sport before and no man ever will again. They call Lebron James the King , but every players knee will bend and kneel and every head will bow to the God of this game . There has never been anyone as good as MJ no one comes close. We used to think he had supernatural skill, I mean it was crazy how good he was and if he wanted to make a shot there was noting anyone could do about it. Doesn't matter who you were, MJ would beat you, and you could take that to the bank. He really was like some kind of,, some kind of GOD
Jordan ran a 4:3, had a 48” vertical, and hands that palmed the ball. Add that freakish athleticism to a maniacal winning mentality and you get this. We will never see anything like Jordan again.
I grew up in the Jordan era in Chicago area. I watched every game in the 72-10 season. It was magical. Kobe was a fantastic player, as is Lebron. But Jordan is the standard.
Excellent reaction! Now you know what you were told about MJ is all true...but you didn't watch the whole video. You really need to see it in its entirety.
@@kevinwheesysouthward9295 Yeah it's hard for folks to wrap their brains around what it was like to watch him work in real time now knowing the outcome but still "knowing" the outcome.
Great reaction man! That's the feeling you get watching MJ... I was fortunate enough to be a teen in the 90s and Jordan made non-basketball fans watch the NBA. Hope you do a part 2 :)
If you want to see more watch Michael Jordan's highlights. These videos are why I say and always will until the day I die that Michael Jordan is and always will be the G.O.A.T
Every time you see a Jordan highlight video with dunks and reverses., just remember this is from the greatest mid range jump shooter in the game, and an elite defender.
@@gwynedd1 this is why I say and always will until the day I die that Michael Jordan is and always will be the G.O.A.T if you want to see more watch Michael Jordan most rare videos ever.
What sets him apart is evident in this video and its not just his vertical. Notice he never flops but more importantly, he never gave up on a play on either side of the ball. Even after contact in the air, he had such control that he made shots that had no business going in. He still followed through. On defense, he would pick your pocket and leave you change. He could come out of nowhere and swat a shot into the stands. He had a complete game. Equally as good on defense as he was on offense and he was like a savant on offense. He was like Rain Man with the ball but articulate. Everything he did was so incredibly graceful to watch. Ive never seen another player of any era make a dunk look so beautiful as he does from the moment he leaves the ground. He was just different and anyone who had the pleasure of watching him play understood that by his third game as a Bull. We were so lucky to have seen him during his era. Watching highlights really doesn't compare to watching him paint his masterpiece in real time as it happens....
This is probably 1/10 of his highlights. He was must-see TV & never took a night off for load management. He was also the best offense & defensive player in this era.
I was fortunate to have been born in the Jordan era to witness his career. Since his retirement, there has not been any player as great as Jordan. Nobody, no athlete ever missed a Jordan game. He played ever single game and never load managed. Ever regular season game the Bulls played was like a play off game, Jordan never ever took a game off.
Jordan, as a rookie was feared by the entire league. 48” vertical leap, and posterized everybody, especially the biggest tallest and most top ranked defenders. He did this every time he stepped onto Any basketball court.
Thank you for noticing the small things--his footwork was always perfect (and no "Euro-steps" needed), as were his fundamentals. He was super quick, fast and had a 48" vertical jump. But above all else was his will to win--he was ultra-competitive and wanted to beat whoever he was up against at anything--golf, cards, basketball--it didn't matter. Check out how many times he played all 82 games of a season, or at least close to it...then add playoff games.... and this modern era "load management" becomes another factor why so many of us who witnessed the Jordan Era cannot watch the game today. It might as well be another sport...
Yep. Michael Jordan . The thing is, i, as so many baskeball fans around the world saw him play. ☝🏾On tv that is. And yeah, he is the goat. Dude never gave up.
Growing up watching Jordan play as a kid was amazing...my idol. No matter how the game was playing out, you always knew there was a chance that he was gonna pull something out of his bag of tricks and pull it off.
Mj also played 82 games a record amount of times. He was the best offense and defensive player. During his prime. It's not even a question who is the Goat. I watched the NBA from the 80s until current. Never seen anything like his Airness. Kobe was the closest thing. And that's why. The Black Mamba is in my top 5 all time. It was a blessing to watch MJ real time.
I was blessed to see MJ play in person two times in the 90s before he retired for good. He dropped 29 on the Hawks and it was like an off night. At halftime I stood 15 ft from him on the baseline while he was warming up shooting free throws, he actually came out early to get in some shots. I was screaming at the top of my lungs just trying to get the dude to make eye contact with me. Security was different in those days. And I could not break his concentration for a second. He will always be the GOAT to me. The difference that a lot of people don't understand is that he routinely took over games on offense and defense. He was as intense of a competitor as there will ever be. He was a generational, all-time talent.
Literally poetry in motion it still gets me pumped to watch these clips no other player has this effect on you like your watching art kobe did sometimes but Jordan was a show every single game damn near
MJ showed us kids back then what it looked like and what is possible when you're in "The Zone". When he was in he literally couldn't miss even if he wanted to.
Bro I'm 42 from Los Angeles. Became a fan of Lakers latest 80's, showtime baby. You can be a fan of any team but when you ball, you want to be like Mike, poetry in motion. I love Kobe man, RIP mamba. Kobe is the closest to MJ his game is mimic to MJ, footwork everything. No one better than the 🐐 he broke ok ur hearts when he won his 1st title. I watched the whole series, cheering for my Lakers but I knew we couldn't beat MJ. All his games were like his highlights, he would won like 8 titles if he didn't retire after 1st 3
I loved watching Michael Jordan play, he is so amazing!👍👍👍 Watching him dunk on the opposing team was just mind blowing!😱😳 I enjoyed watching Kobe Bryant, because he reminded so much of your "airness" Michael Jordan!👍💜
I live and grew up in Chicagoland area and although I don't watch basketball anymore I take joy in knowing I watch the best ever in Michael Jeffrey Jordan
They couldnt stop Michael Jordan. To see him play is person was amazing. I never seen anything like it. When he glide i promise you it looked like his shoes made him fly in the air.
Also you gotta remember he played this way EVERY SINGLE GAME, it was a privilege to be born and raised in chicago and was able to watch it all. Best ever
I watched almost every game of MJ's career and wvery game was its own highlight. He was absolutely unguardable! Teams knew he was gonna get the ball and knew he was gonna shoot it but they still couldn't stop him. And mlre than just on the offensive side of the ball, he play elite defense too! To me, he is the GOAT... period.
I watched him at UNC in the early 80s and then his entire pro career. He jumped higher, got there faster, and stayed there longer. Never seen anyone with quite athleticism that he had. I started watching the NBA in 1971 and have seen alot of great players but there was not a player then and I still have not seen a guy like this ever. Kobe was great Magic was great (my all time fav), Bird was great, LeBron is great, but MJ is the G O A T !!!
Notice how MJ evades multiple defenders driving to the hoop? He is not like other player who bulldozed their way to the hoop. Never ever see him doing dirty plays intentionally hurting other players. Jordan is just built differently.... 🐐
I got to see him play live and I can tell you that highlights don't even do him justice. Every single opposing player was marking him at all times... and he still got his shots. Double team, triple team, he just knew he could beat it. And then he did. The best I've ever seen.
appreciate the vid yo!..Grew Up to him..watching come fly with me before games got me hella inspired...watched him play live a few time at the target center when the timber pups first hit the scene..we was the shorties that got to meet most of the players and watch them upclose and personal and talk with them on the bench...for inner city youth this was Magical...it was a Hightlight reel in every Game..he went 1000 all the time..and watching him court side when the bulls was beating the timber pups pretty bad and every one was leaving, just me and all my lil homies(which we were all pretty much the same age) stayed and my boy got jordans towl and this lil white kid tried to snatch it from him and they had a lil tug of war...they ended up splitting it down the middle for both kids...but yeah..Jordan did some ol acrobatic ish all thru the damn game🤣...we learned and applied it to our Game and thus the Game Evolved.
Watching Bulls games was like watching a good movie. You knew they would pull it off and MJ was gonna humiliate somebody. And if they loss that game or lose a game then you knew you couldn’t miss the next one because MJ was really about to go off off. Great reaction and maturity in recognizing MJs gifts and giving credit. Much respect.
MJ was and is simply the best. Ain't nobody hit his level UNBULL-EIVE-ABULL!!!!! ONE AND ONLY G.O.A.T.!!!! Ya better ask somebody. I'm grateful to live my whole life in the CHI and to see all of his career. He's the best
7:27 Props to you... you know what you're watching, and most people don't! Jordan's footwork was the hidden weapon that rarely gets talked about. He was like a virtuoso ballet dancer the way he could manipulate people... at this point in the video, you still haven't even seen the best. Must be something special to be experiencing this for the first time, although I have to say, these highlights still can't do justice to seeing him do it night in and night out, and NEVER take a game off!
Indeed. Kobe learned from the greatest. You just don’t jump out of bed and say I wanna be like Mike, you gotta put those master hours in! He studied and perfected his craft after MJ. I respect that!
You'd probably enjoy the Michael Jordan "voyager rare highlights" video too. So many clips from this guy that he had regular highlights and rare ones too 😂
This is why he the best i watched him sense 89 his hands ,fundamentals is wat mks him the greatest of all time watching him growing up was the best he can beat u any way possible it was always interesting to watch him u never knew wat he was gunna do
Finally all these young guys who thought they knew who was the best ever can't believe how great the real GOAT was. He was a sight to behold back in the day. I had my mom watching basketball to see Jordan.
MJ would be amazing if he played today. I miss those days of Basketball, I try to explain the level of greatness to the new generation and they always shut me down. Even these videos don’t do him justice, from the opening theme of NBA on NBC to the final whistle, it was a spectacle to watch. Now it’s just a 3-point contest.
Whenever I hear someone say " (Anyone but Jordan ) is the GOAT ." I just assume that they are too young to have seen him play , because if you saw him play , then you know , without a doubt . He is the Greatest Basketball Player of All Time ! Period !
I was born in '85. Basically born with Jordan's NBA career, but the 90's Bulls man.... they were something. Michael Jordan was a household name. He was everywhere, even more so than Lebron. I haven't seen any player that's on his level since!
Is pretty easy to put together a compilation of great performances from the top players ever (Lebron, Magic, Byrd, Kobey, etc…) but MJ was different. Not only his relentless drive but he was pure artistry in motion both on the ground and in the air. I was lucky enough to be college age to see him in his prime 1991 and how he build up to it.
Notice he ain’t holding the ball for 85 steps before he takes a shot? Notice all the contact he draws from other players without flopping like a fish in a boat? That’s the difference between today and yesterday. Michael was plain and simple a terrific, unstoppable basketball player.
I would like to add that MJ has exactly zero flops.
Yall act like the league didn’t favor him for calls. Countless players from his era say refs sucked him off all game. U old heads make me laugh😂😂. Ur era is over, if u dont like this new league dont fuckin watch it lmao. Watch ur vhs tape highlights instead.
Either people never truly watched him play or they are just haters 🤷🏾♂️ but he is certainly the Goat & it isn’t even close 🐐✌🏾
Notice all the 7 footers he is dunking on!!!!!!! 😂
Yes, it's all in the foot work combined with the will to win and unprecedented athletic ability. It all started with the fundamentals. His top priority was winning always
The argument about who's the GOAT is laughable...MJ is the GOAT and it's not even close!!
Why…I agree. But why??
MJ is the GOAT.
yep, and it's not even close!!
I grew up as a child watching Jordan in real time, it was insane back then. No body had ever performed like that. Even then I knew I was witnessing one of the best players in history. Very lucky to have lived it.
He was the symbol of excellence. It was a hell of an era to live through
Same. Whenever the Bulls were on TV I always watched it. I’m fortunate to have lived that. Looking back at these highlights I can honestly say that they seem just as impressive now as they did back then. Truly incredible.
Yeah. Kobe comes kinda close
The 90's Bulls reigned Supreme
I was a child in the 90s and i did get to watch MJ. and lemme tell ya, MJ was what core memories are made of. You just dont forget how special MJ was
Yeah bro He was like Saturday morning cartoons 😂😂😂 that’s why they hooked him up with Bugs Bunny 😂😂😂
No one did it like Mike. Kobe close. But no one on MJ level. EVER
Kobe wasn't close. Loved watching Kobe play, but he wasn't in the same universe.
Facts 💯
Great reaction youngster. Glad you witnessed the GOAT. I fell in love with the sport in Magic's rookie season (1979). And he's my favorite player all-time but without hesitation I proclaim Jordan to be the greatest ever.

You can't defend someone with zero weaknesses, and that's why he was so dominant. I remember Isiah Thomas once said that Jordan was so good that at times he made All-Star players look like high-schoolers. And what Bird said was "that was God disguised as Jordan" after MJ blew up for 63 pts. against his vaunted Celtics. Magic said it best "there's Jordan then there's everybody else."

@@thechocolatewriter8680 I agree with you wholeheartedly ✌🏾👊🏾
The actual quote from Larry Bird was "That was not Michael Jordan. That was God disguised as Michael Jordan"
Michael was the real deal. I worked at the Chicago Stadium at the time, and it was the greatest show on earth. Sometimes I would go home early, and I noticed the streets of Chicago were empty.
He made it a mission to dunk on every starting center in the league!!

@invisionholdings I understand what your saying.
I got a different feeling watching him play, a feeling of intense emotion, anticipation and euphoria from what this dude did night after night.What an entertainer.Witnessing greatness.
I have never seen another player that matches the ability of this 'Black Cat'.
He is far superior to any other player on the basketball court that I have seen in my lifetime.And I'm 48.

Yeah, he didn't jump, he frickin flew. GOAT. 👍❤🤙
48in vertical leap! I watched it growing up, and it's just as mind blowing now as it was back then.

Michael Jordan is my youngest Son's favorite player! Amazing!
Hey the kid recognized greatness when he sees it.
Jordan defied gravity
If you notice something about MJ........HE NEVER FLOPS!
He respected the game he was playing.

@@cyber6sapien 👩🏿🦲👅 🙏🏾
I'm convinced that this helped him. When you sick your tongue out like that you can inhale much faster and get oxygen more efficiently. Try it!
These are the times that I was really into watching the NBA. The golden years I guess you could call them. After Jordan left, I started watching Kobe because he was the next best thing. But I'm sorry, I don't like LeBron and with exception of Steph Curry, most of them playing today just don't interest me.
Humans get bored quickly but who else but the lowest ratings NBA would try to convince you LeFlop Blames is the greatest and watch thrm. MJ is the G.O.A.T. Way more contact. Just more fun to watch him.
I'm with you on that
I feel the exact same way you do. Like 99% of the NBA players aren't as skilled as Kobe and MJ were. LeBron is my least favourite Basketball player, as well.
在我年輕的時候，也是超愛看Jordan神乎其技的球技，每每看得目瞪口呆!我也是自從Jordan離開籃壇後，我就不太看NBA了，現在的球星真是吸引不了我的眼球。現在只是偶而陪著兒子們看看NBA的總決賽片段而已。真的懷念當年Jordan的NBA年代!
Kobe is the closest thing we’ve seen to MJ, and I’ve grown to appreciate him more after he retired. He was never quite the same level as Jordan, but I don’t think it’s right that most people just skip over him with Lebron in the GOAT conversation. I’d honestly consider taking Kobe over Lebron on my list.
No one could fly like Michael Jordan.
as a little kid from Iceland watching Mike felt like seeing a real live superhero. 25 years later I still go to the gym in Jordan gear, top to bottom.
To me he isn't just a basketball goat, he is the greatest athlete of all time
some have come close like lionel messi, Usain Bolt, John Jones and a few others that represent the best humans can do... none of them one upped Jesus and walked on air!
Never felt like he could disappoint, 6 times he said "watch this" with a wink and a smile and 6 times he delivered.
P.S. still got the record for highest vertical in NBA history 😇
I’m a 37 year old Knicks fan and I’ve been following basketball since I was 7, so I got to watch prime Jordan and he was without question the Goat and still till this day is. There was no greater fear than facing him in the playoffs cuz he would always beat us. He was like a real life 2k player.
My young brother back in the day before the Internet when the actual stars were the stars, there were no moments like watching Michael Jordan watching Mike Tyson or watching a Michael Jackson concert those three men will give you absolute chills to see them perform
I get goosebumps every time I watch this mix tape. I am 63 years old and I have lived in Illinois my whole life, about 2.5 hours from Chicago. I watched almost every game Jordan played, if it was on tv, on good old WGN.
MJ is the best, the best there ever was, the best there ever will be. The one and only GOAT. And he did it as a 6'6 guard who only weighed 215 lbs.
It was like this every single night.
WGN televised all the Bulls games here in Chicago and you just HAD to see him play.
It was like watching Bruce Lee in Nikes.
Wow！～ 是不是很驚訝呢？ 是的, MJ每一場的比賽都如此精彩 ,讓人起雞皮疙瘩,並為他瘋狂，MJ 無與倫比。 🥰MY GOAT FOREVER ~⭐⭐

@@felipecourtois7883Hello 🖐
This is one of the most authentic videos yet. I can see the enjoyment of him watching Jordan and how he was so dominant. Goat status maintained.
I saw Michael live, when I lived in Atlanta along with Dominic. He is the greatest basketball player, I have ever seen. That was the golden era of NBA basketball.
I grew up in Chicago and feel so blessed to have watched MJ play at the Bulls stadium and at the last playoff NBA finals game when the Bulls played the Suns in Phoenix. Michael Jordan did things no one had ever done before and was simply an amazing phenomena tp watch a once in history player the likes we will never see again. Truly a freak of nature a cosmic anomaly of greatness that dominated his sport like no man has dominated a sport before and no man ever will again.
They call Lebron James the King , but every players knee will bend and kneel and every head will bow to the God of this game . There has never been anyone as good as MJ no one comes close. We used to think he had supernatural skill, I mean it was crazy how good he was and if he wanted to make a shot there was noting anyone could do about it. Doesn't matter who you were, MJ would beat you, and you could take that to the bank.
He really was like some kind of,,
some kind of
GOD
Jordan ran a 4:3, had a 48” vertical, and hands that palmed the ball. Add that freakish athleticism to a maniacal winning mentality and you get this. We will never see anything like Jordan again.
I grew up in the Jordan era in Chicago area. I watched every game in the 72-10 season. It was magical. Kobe was a fantastic player, as is Lebron. But Jordan is the standard.
I like Kobe more.
And I even know he isn’t on Jordan’s level.
No one is.
We got chills watching him play growing up
Excellent reaction! Now you know what you were told about MJ is all true...but you didn't watch the whole video. You really need to see it in its entirety.
Highlights are one thing but watching him as it happened is something I will never forget.
Great reaction
Totally agree
@@kevinwheesysouthward9295 Yeah it's hard for folks to wrap their brains around what it was like to watch him work in real time now knowing the outcome but still "knowing" the outcome.
Great reaction man! That's the feeling you get watching MJ... I was fortunate enough to be a teen in the 90s and Jordan made non-basketball fans watch the NBA. Hope you do a part 2 :)
If you want to see more watch Michael Jordan's highlights. These videos are why I say and always will until the day I die that Michael Jordan is and always will be the G.O.A.T
Every time you see a Jordan highlight video with dunks and reverses., just remember this is from the greatest mid range jump shooter in the game, and an elite defender.
@@gwynedd1 this is why I say and always will until the day I die that Michael Jordan is and always will be the G.O.A.T if you want to see more watch Michael Jordan most rare videos ever.
The thing with Michael Jordan, he never had any wasted motion. Everything he did was with a purpose. He knew what he wanted to do.
What sets him apart is evident in this video and its not just his vertical. Notice he never flops but more importantly, he never gave up on a play on either side of the ball. Even after contact in the air, he had such control that he made shots that had no business going in. He still followed through. On defense, he would pick your pocket and leave you change. He could come out of nowhere and swat a shot into the stands. He had a complete game. Equally as good on defense as he was on offense and he was like a savant on offense. He was like Rain Man with the ball but articulate. Everything he did was so incredibly graceful to watch. Ive never seen another player of any era make a dunk look so beautiful as he does from the moment he leaves the ground. He was just different and anyone who had the pleasure of watching him play understood that by his third game as a Bull. We were so lucky to have seen him during his era. Watching highlights really doesn't compare to watching him paint his masterpiece in real time as it happens....
I remember growing up and watching MJ. There was just something about him that made u stop and watch, it was like an experience not just a game.
It was really something amazing to watch night to night. Such an exciting era for basketball.
MJ had no weakness in his game. Pump fakes, mad foot work, mastered fadeaway jump shot and a fierce competitor, didn’t take any nights off. The GOAT 💯
This is probably 1/10 of his highlights. He was must-see TV & never took a night off for load management. He was also the best offense & defensive player in this era.
I was fortunate to have been born in the Jordan era to witness his career. Since his retirement, there has not been any player as great as Jordan. Nobody, no athlete ever missed a Jordan game. He played ever single game and never load managed. Ever regular season game the Bulls played was like a play off game, Jordan never ever took a game off.
Jordan, as a rookie was feared by the entire league. 48” vertical leap, and posterized everybody, especially the biggest tallest and most top ranked defenders. He did this every time he stepped onto Any basketball court.
Thank you for noticing the small things--his footwork was always perfect (and no "Euro-steps" needed), as were his fundamentals. He was super quick, fast and had a 48" vertical jump. But above all else was his will to win--he was ultra-competitive and wanted to beat whoever he was up against at anything--golf, cards, basketball--it didn't matter. Check out how many times he played all 82 games of a season, or at least close to it...then add playoff games.... and this modern era "load management" becomes another factor why so many of us who witnessed the Jordan Era cannot watch the game today. It might as well be another sport...
Yep. Michael Jordan . The thing is, i, as so many baskeball fans around the world saw him play. ☝🏾On tv that is. And yeah, he is the goat. Dude never gave up.
Growing up watching Jordan play as a kid was amazing...my idol. No matter how the game was playing out, you always knew there was a chance that he was gonna pull something out of his bag of tricks and pull it off.
Mj also played 82 games a record amount of times. He was the best offense and defensive player. During his prime. It's not even a question who is the Goat. I watched the NBA from the 80s until current. Never seen anything like his Airness. Kobe was the closest thing. And that's why. The Black Mamba is in my top 5 all time. It was a blessing to watch MJ real time.
I was blessed to see MJ play in person two times in the 90s before he retired for good. He dropped 29 on the Hawks and it was like an off night. At halftime I stood 15 ft from him on the baseline while he was warming up shooting free throws, he actually came out early to get in some shots. I was screaming at the top of my lungs just trying to get the dude to make eye contact with me. Security was different in those days. And I could not break his concentration for a second. He will always be the GOAT to me. The difference that a lot of people don't understand is that he routinely took over games on offense and defense. He was as intense of a competitor as there will ever be. He was a generational, all-time talent.
What is even more amazing is that the vast majority of these highlights are playoff games.
Literally poetry in motion it still gets me pumped to watch these clips no other player has this effect on you like your watching art kobe did sometimes but Jordan was a show every single game damn near
Crazy that I still get the chills on the layup vs the lake show. The Goat . ↙️ Period
MJ showed us kids back then what it looked like and what is possible when you're in "The Zone". When he was in he literally couldn't miss even if he wanted to.
You noticed it. His footwork was insane. Literal perfection
There was something magical about watching Michael. Truly. One of a kind. Love your reactions sir. Very genuine. There was and always be only one 🐐.
Bro I'm 42 from Los Angeles. Became a fan of Lakers latest 80's, showtime baby. You can be a fan of any team but when you ball, you want to be like Mike, poetry in motion. I love Kobe man, RIP mamba. Kobe is the closest to MJ his game is mimic to MJ, footwork everything. No one better than the 🐐 he broke ok ur hearts when he won his 1st title. I watched the whole series, cheering for my Lakers but I knew we couldn't beat MJ. All his games were like his highlights, he would won like 8 titles if he didn't retire after 1st 3
I've seen a dozen o these now. Every time I see one, tears come to my eyes #JordanGOAT
I loved watching Michael Jordan play, he is so amazing!👍👍👍 Watching him dunk on the opposing team was just mind blowing!😱😳 I enjoyed watching Kobe Bryant, because he reminded so much of your "airness" Michael Jordan!👍💜
I live and grew up in Chicagoland area and although I don't watch basketball anymore I take joy in knowing I watch the best ever in Michael Jeffrey Jordan
They couldnt stop Michael Jordan. To see him play is person was amazing. I never seen anything like it. When he glide i promise you it looked like his shoes made him fly in the air.
He slammed that sh%t so hard on Patrick Ewing you could here that sh%t out on Broadway!” 😂
Also you gotta remember he played this way EVERY SINGLE GAME, it was a privilege to be born and raised in chicago and was able to watch it all. Best ever
I watched almost every game of MJ's career and wvery game was its own highlight. He was absolutely unguardable! Teams knew he was gonna get the ball and knew he was gonna shoot it but they still couldn't stop him. And mlre than just on the offensive side of the ball, he play elite defense too! To me, he is the GOAT... period.
Not only was MJ an Amazing offensive force but his defensive skill was All-Star level on its own.
As a gen x kid growing up in the 80’s and 90’s. Man, Jordan damn near raised us. He was a real life Superman. Best time of my life!
I watched him at UNC in the early 80s and then his entire pro career. He jumped higher, got there faster, and stayed there longer. Never seen anyone with quite athleticism that he had.
I started watching the NBA in 1971 and have seen alot of great players but there was not a player then and I still have not seen a guy like this ever. Kobe was great Magic was great (my all time fav), Bird was great, LeBron is great, but MJ is the G O A T !!!
Notice how MJ evades multiple defenders driving to the hoop? He is not like other player who bulldozed their way to the hoop. Never ever see him doing dirty plays intentionally hurting other players. Jordan is just built differently.... 🐐
I noticed that too tho,KOBE even chewed his gum like JORDAN
MJ is one of the greatest ever. It was a true privilege to watch him in his day.
Man, I miss that era of basketball. Such a passion and love for the game!
I got to see him play live and I can tell you that highlights don't even do him justice. Every single opposing player was marking him at all times... and he still got his shots. Double team, triple team, he just knew he could beat it. And then he did. The best I've ever seen.
Finally, a true reaction. MJ was literally must watch TV.
appreciate the vid yo!..Grew Up to him..watching come fly with me before games got me hella inspired...watched him play live a few time at the target center when the timber pups first hit the scene..we was the shorties that got to meet most of the players and watch them upclose and personal and talk with them on the bench...for inner city youth this was Magical...it was a Hightlight reel in every Game..he went 1000 all the time..and watching him court side when the bulls was beating the timber pups pretty bad and every one was leaving, just me and all my lil homies(which we were all pretty much the same age) stayed and my boy got jordans towl and this lil white kid tried to snatch it from him and they had a lil tug of war...they ended up splitting it down the middle for both kids...but yeah..Jordan did some ol acrobatic ish all thru the damn game🤣...we learned and applied it to our Game and thus the Game Evolved.
I love watching someone that never really watched Jordan. It tickles me they can't believe what they're seeing.
When Mike had his tongue out you knew something bad was going to happen to the opponent
That is why some of can do things that defies logic young brutha. The greatest athlete that ever played pro sports period.
Watching Bulls games was like watching a good movie. You knew they would pull it off and MJ was gonna humiliate somebody.
And if they loss that game or lose a game then you knew you couldn’t miss the next one because MJ was really about to go off off.
Great reaction and maturity in recognizing MJs gifts and giving credit. Much respect.
MJ was and is simply the best. Ain't nobody hit his level UNBULL-EIVE-ABULL!!!!! ONE AND ONLY G.O.A.T.!!!! Ya better ask somebody. I'm grateful to live my whole life in the CHI and to see all of his career. He's the best
I'm loving your reaction. Been watching this since he came on the scene and still gives me chills. ✌❤
His hang time was so amazing. But remember he has the high vertical jump recorded in NBA history even today. He had a 48 inch, vertical leap.
Gotta finish it play'a... Great reaction..
Bro and if you'd have seen it live you'd be even more impressed, the highlights don't do him justice, greatness
7:27 Props to you... you know what you're watching, and most people don't! Jordan's footwork was the hidden weapon that rarely gets talked about. He was like a virtuoso ballet dancer the way he could manipulate people... at this point in the video, you still haven't even seen the best. Must be something special to be experiencing this for the first time, although I have to say, these highlights still can't do justice to seeing him do it night in and night out, and NEVER take a game off!
Yes sir! I'm 50 and I saw them both!! MJ goat 🐐! Kobe baby goat 🐐 for sure!!
Indeed. Kobe learned from the greatest. You just don’t jump out of bed and say I wanna be like Mike, you gotta put those master hours in! He studied and perfected his craft after MJ. I respect that!
You'd probably enjoy the Michael Jordan "voyager rare highlights" video too. So many clips from this guy that he had regular highlights and rare ones too 😂
This is why he the best i watched him sense 89 his hands ,fundamentals is wat mks him the greatest of all time watching him growing up was the best he can beat u any way possible it was always interesting to watch him u never knew wat he was gunna do
MJ is the UNDISPUTED 🐐
I LOVE THAT YOUNG KIDS LIKE YOU,IT'S RESPECT I'M SAYING KID,I'M 45,BUT I LOVE YOUNG GUYS ARE WATCHING JORDAN PLAY,IT WAS AMAZING
Agreed...most unguardable player ever.
Finally all these young guys who thought they knew who was the best ever can't believe how great the real GOAT was. He was a sight to behold back in the day. I had my mom watching basketball to see Jordan.
MJ would be amazing if he played today. I miss those days of Basketball, I try to explain the level of greatness to the new generation and they always shut me down. Even these videos don’t do him justice, from the opening theme of NBA on NBC to the final whistle, it was a spectacle to watch. Now it’s just a 3-point contest.
Whenever I hear someone say " (Anyone but Jordan ) is the GOAT ." I just assume that they are too young to have seen him play , because if you saw him play , then you know , without a doubt . He is the Greatest Basketball Player of All Time ! Period !
I was born in '85. Basically born with Jordan's NBA career, but the 90's Bulls man.... they were something. Michael Jordan was a household name. He was everywhere, even more so than Lebron. I haven't seen any player that's on his level since!
Is pretty easy to put together a compilation of great performances from the top players ever (Lebron, Magic, Byrd, Kobey, etc…) but MJ was different. Not only his relentless drive but he was pure artistry in motion both on the ground and in the air. I was lucky enough to be college age to see him in his prime 1991 and how he build up to it.
The one and only !
