The thing that alot of the younger generation doesn't seem to realize is that this was MJ every 👏 single 👏 night 👏. No plays off. No rest management. No resting on defense. No backing down. He WAS thee Apex predator of the league! Unrivaled in determination & killer instinct. Motivated to play every game at level orhers just can't reach. Ten scoring titles (NBA record) in an era where physicality was at its highest, 6 Championships (no losses), 5 MVPs, 6 Finals MVPs, a Defensive Player of the Year award which was usually given to the big men of that time and countless other benchmark stats that have yet to be broken. Still the only player in NBA history to win the scoring title, MVP, a Championship, Finals MVP and be named to the All-Defensive 1st team in the same season. He also did it 4 times. Nearly every obscure stat has Jordan's name in it. And all of this was done in the Golden Era of the league, in effectively 14 seasons. Twelve seasons if we only look at his Bulls years. Nearly eleven Bulls years if we take out the majority of his second season that he lost due to a foot injury. That is an insane accumulation of accomplishments and stats in such a relatively average length career. Just imagine the accomplishments and stats he could have accumulated had he played 17, 18, 19 or 20 seasons. Just imagine where he would be sitting on the "all-time" lists. How many more titles and points he would have amassed. Imagine if he doesn't retire for two years in his PRIME or Jerry Krause/Reinsdorf don't kick Phil to the curb, making MJ's decision to retire again that much easier. That Bulls team had the ability to win 8 straight, maybe more. Just imagine how much higher the benchmarks would have been pushed. It's insane to think about. Also, take this into consideration. LeBron passed Kareem in scoring. We know this. Great accomplishment. But that is a longevity stat. Kobe, Karl, LeBron and Kareem all sit above Jordan on the scoring list and they all played 20 seasons or more. All with similar scoring totals (obviously). Now think of this, at 14 seasons, respectively, Jordan was ahead of all 4 of them in points. Jordan was nearly 5000 points ahead of LeBron at that point - not to mention he was ahead of LeBron in every statistical category other than assists at that point as well. But if you do the math, Jordan surpasses Kareem in potentially his 17th season given the averages. Years ahead of LeBron. I mean, simply give Jordan back his second season due to injury and the two seasons he retired in his prime, right there is Kareem passing territory. He also most likely catches and surpasses Stockton for steals leader as well. So when you look at it that way, it becomes quite clear that Jordan's career and potential was on a whole other level. Not knocking LeBron or anyone else. Greats are great, no matter the way we look at it. But one guy simply towered over the rest. Perspective tells us that. Luckily I got to see his career unfold. It was a remarkable time to watch basketball. And that isn't just nostalgia talking either. It is just the way it was. Game in and game out.
Jordan simply put, is the GOAT.
"You are simply the standard by which basketball excellence is measured." - David Stern
it's true. i had a couple hundred Bulls games on tape back then. i'd go back and watch them over and over because there were literally several jaw dropping highlights per game. people don't understand man... he was an absolute monster, like no other.
And if you trashed talked him he’d berry you if you did anything to make it personal he’d get 50 to 60 in a game

Zeke Thomas, before the envy, said that Jordan was so good that he made All-Stars look like high-schoolers. That's just how special MJ was. He made the greatest perimeter defenders and rim protectors look like pedestrian.
there's a reason the pistons tried to beat the bulls through flagrant fouls on mj. as a rookie he made the celtics sweat with a team that had no bussiness in the playoffs. and to this day he holds the playoff scoring record, and he did it without shooting 3's against a good defense at that time -- birds celtics, with bird and his cast still roughly in their prime. its crazy what he did, he really lived out a mythological career.
Out of the gate mind you and even before the NBA in the Olympic 84 scrimmages
@@USER06584B There's a reason that Boston team won the chip in 86. Not only did they have the best defensive team that season, they also had the greatest front-court ever assembled (Parish, McHale, Bird). And let's not forget - MJ hit'em up for 49 pts. in Game 1. After that game Celtics players said "that won't happen again" per Bill Walton. And after that 63 pointer in Game 2 is when Larry Legend said "that was God disguised as Jordan."
Since I've bled purple & gold since Magic's rookie season I despised Eastern Conference squads. And I wasn't a fan of MJ. I thought he was too cocky and played with too much swagger. But it's no hyperbole to say he had a mythical career. These young cats that never saw him will never understand.
@@Getloose360 And that's why after the very first time Bird played MJ in NBA he told a Boston Globe reporter "that guy is going to be the greatest ever - you just watch." Not only did Larry become a legend, he also became a prophet.
Watch the all star games.. he didn't lie
In his last game as a Bull, MJ scored 45 of the Bulls 87 points to clinch Game 6. That’s the highest percentage of scoring (52%) in the history of the NBA Finals.
in 1991 he also set the finals record for most field goals made in a row and it still stands.
And just seconds before Jordan made that shot, he stole the ball away from Karl Malone.
The thing about No. 23 is that every single game was a highlight reel. He was and is the most athletic, skilled, and electric player to have ever put his hand on the ball. One word that sums up Michael Jordan that separates him from any other player is “Determined”. You just can’t teach that.
most athletic? Wilt: Hold my beer....
@@spaltersaryeah wilt different different but Jordan do got a case. They are the two most athletic players ever wilt had super human strength and jumping ability and ran track. And Jordan goes without saying
Great reaction bro! Jordan was literally the total package. The man had 0 weakness. There is absolutely nothing Lebron can do that Jordan cant do. Cant say the same the other way around. Thats why Jordan will always be the GOAT!
True Thanks for watching ❤
The only weakness Jordan had is he couldn't hit a baseball as well as he shot a basketball
@@arclight5455 🤣🤣🤣 at least got a home run under his belt
@@o.gyanchiii8323 A little something for you!
Jordan Vs LeBron is not a debate

Who the hell said MJ wasn't a good shooter? Probably best mid-range shooter of all time. And he shot 33% overall from the 3. That was the league average back then, when they shot less than three 3's per game.
Anyone that says Jordan didn't have a mid range game needs their head examined
They were good defenders back in the day, but also one thing that MJ had to put up with was ACTUAL physical contact. Not like in the NBA today, where you touch someone, it's a foul. They used to beat on MJ.
If you look at Lebron hel cry foul
@@masterreaper115as big as he is, he's soft as baby shit. Carried off the court by three players while crying because she had a cramp.
you hear the announcers " screaming how did he do that " i hated jordan, but he had these type of wow moments 8 times a game, every game, announcers became fans, jordan had to bulk up to handle the beatings he used to take, piston had the jordan rules, basically hammer him anytime he goes up in the lane, those are called technicals now
His defensive highlights are equally impressive.
Jordan can shoot 3's but he always said shooting 3's is boring and not fun for the fans so he took it to the hole whenever he could for the fans to enjoy watching basketball. Infact the current era of players shooting 3's is exactly what Jordan didnt want the NBA to become and sadly it is now.
Exactly!!!
Today's youngsters have no idea of just how physical it was back then. And the hand-checking made a huge difference. I used to ball all over joints in late 80s and all of 90s in Orange County, CA. I was 5'10 160 lbs. with handles and quickness. There was this cat named Reggie Geary, who played at Univ. of Arizona and I think for the Spurs. I knew him since his Mater Dei High-School days. He was 6'2 about 180 lbs. and had some of the strongest hands I have ever seen. Soon as he put them hands on my waist it impeded my progress. I had to try to go by him before he got close enough to hand-check me. And man, was he physical. Today's ballers have no clue how much harder it was to get buckets back then.
Reggie Geary was legit, lock down defender. My buddy at Washington State U put it on him though in the Pac-10 back in the day. Lit him up...
I get hand check with a guy smaller than me. I can barely do those one two dribble and shoot with good accuracy when he hand checks and gets rough.
@@algladyou Rough! That's the key word. I remember I was ballin' at some Fast Action league in Costa Mesa, CA and even though I'm not very tall I love to play in the paint. I had nasty paint footwork and a nastier McHale/Kevin Willis jump-hook. It was unguardable. Same thing always happened - after scoring a few buckets down low, defenders would get mad and start getting rough by using both hands or forearms on my waist when I went up for jump-hook. Which would throw me off balance and deter my shot. The most frustrating thing was that the refs wouldn't call a foul.
@katrinachavez3533 i even get roughed even without the ball. Lol! Ya, that friend of mine got mad because the one guarding me wasnt getting roughed at me. And i was getting them all with 1 step jumped shot. 😅😅😅
@@algladyou I detested off-ball hard fouls. They were so blatant. Man, I wish I was in my 20s now. I'm in my mid-50s and when I go to local rec center or park it is so easy to get buckets. Not only is it as physical as Hugh Hefner mansion pillow fights but defenders play with no tenacity.
DUDE!
When you paused at 4:20 and asked why people think Jordan wasn't a good shooter got you an instant sub. That tells me right there you're a baller and not a casual. I knew you were going to respect the game over feelings. Solid
Thank you. I defy anyone to look at Jordans jump shot, watch his technique and tell me he's a bad shooter. We can leave out that he shot roughly 50% from mid range while contested.
I'm not trying to discredit Curry or any other great 3 point shooters but lets be 100%...
If Michael Jordan had chose to be a 3pt shooter he would have been the best in NBA history. No 3pt shooter has everything Jordan has. Curry is missing the athleticism, height and killer mentality. Bird, straight killer, but not the athleticism....Jordan is the only player I've ever seen that could literally choose how he wanted to destroy you.
"Ohhh, you wanna say I can't shoot 3's? I'll drop a finals 3pt record right quick"... The man was a damn menace.
Yup. Jordan is one of the best shooters ever.
he broke alot of hearts it just didn't matter what anyone did he could jump higher and stay in the air forever. He was so fast he could fake anyone out of their shoes just a menace like you said. Players was literally scared, nobody dared to insult him because he would drop 50 on em.
Man, MJ was somethin else. Dude just moved different. In his last year with the Bulls, MJ averaged holding the ball for just 3 mins 45 seconds per game and still scored a just a shade under 30. So each quarter he held the ball for just a little over 56 seconds. Crazy stuff.
It's the way you feel when you watch MJ play.... It's a thing of Beauty! MJ not only played to win, he played to entertain the fans as well. That's why after all these years....he Still is the most popular athlete in the world. And why many players much younger than him wanted to be like him, including LeBron and Kobe. That Mixed Tape is also a thing of beauty! MJ will ALWAYS be Tha GOAT!! Chi-Town's finest!!
You are correct Jordan was that good he made everyone look that bad and he went up against the best defenders and shot blockers in league history IMO. As well as being one of the best defenders himself.
Olajuwon, Mutombo, Zo, Shaq, Eaton, Bol, Rollins, Robinson, Ewing... all top 15 career shot blocks leaders. it's not your opinion, it's a bonafide fact. & MJ baptized them all, again and again. simply put, on a level of his own.
Agreed@@thetigerdenpodcast4381
Longevity stats can be misleading sometimes imo Karl Malone was 2nd in points scored for like 20 years but I've still never seen somebody have him in their top 10.
It doesn't help that he is an awful person.
It's not that hard headbanger. Magic is my favorite player all-time and the reason I fell in love with the sport in 1979. But without any hesitation I proclaim MJ to be the GOAT. I was fortunate to have seen him in person a few times and what my eyes saw is like nothing they had seen before or after him. Simply put, he had faster twitching muscles than Bron. Which granted him superior reflexes, hand-eye coordination, raw athleticism, bounce, hang-time, mid-air body control, balance, footwork, quickness, explosiveness, nimbleness, etc. I have also seen Bron in person and it's no hyperbole when I say it's not even close. Bron is a water buffalo compared to MJ's jaguar agility. Another important factor is MJ had superior fundamentals. And most importantly MJ had the maniacal mental of killers in serial. Bron's cerebral is feeble. And that's why he's always been in dire need of a multitude of All-Stars aka super-teams.
I'm going to prove to you how infinitely ignorant Bron fans are. I'm sure it was a Bron fan that said Bron has been checked by better defenders. Last time I heard something so idiotic was when Trump said Covid would magically disappear with Summer heat. Do a little homework and check lists of the greatest perimeter defenders all-time. You will see the names of Moncrief, Alvin Robertson, Rodman, Dennis Johnson, Payton, Michael Cooper, Dumars, Pippen-who checked MJ in practice. These were pitbulls aka defensive specialists that guarded perimeters. When MJ would get past them he'd have to contend with some of the greatest rim protectors all-time (Hakeem, David Robinson, Mourning, Mutombo, Ewing, Eaton, Parish, Rollins). I won't even mention the vicious power-forwards in the paint foaming like Cujo waiting to get their rabid paws on intruders. Them common fouls they provided are flagrant fouls now. Speaking of which, today defenders play with no tenacity. And the stout rim protector is as extinct as Woolly Mammoth tusks. Luka even said it's a lot easier to score in NBA than in Europe. And why so many players have said MJ would score 50 ppg in this soft as Monistat cream league.
Water buffalo- jaguar!!!so true!!!
I usually say that bron is like a porsche driven by a grandma whereas jordan is like a ferrari driven by Ayrton Senna!!😃👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@fwsreal That's a good one. I've always said MJ was a Bugatti at Autobahn while Bron was a Waste Mgmt. dump-truck on a humid Saturday morning.
"Monistat cream league" lol
PRetty much. Bird is my favorite but MJ is the GOAT
I reread this after "...cerebral is feeble" just to make sure I wasn't supposed to be rapping this comment to get the full effect. Bars!
I can’t speak for all the others my age (late forties) who grew up on Jordan but to all those younger fans who just want to say that the “old heads” just put Jordan as the GOAT because we watched him so he is “our guy”.
To that I would say that I grew up on Joe Montana and for the longest time people had him as the GOAT at QB because just like Jordan he was undefeated in the SB but now that I’ve seen Brady, I think a lot of us put Brady as the GOAT. My point is that in both cases we’ve seen the older player AND the newer guy (Like Brady and Lebron) and saw them in context. Just because a lot of us pick MJ isn’t because we are “hating”
I’ll also admit though that I used to have no problem with LeBron I just thought not showing up in a Finals his team was favored in sealed the GOAT debate for me because MJ never just totally disappeared in a Finals series in which his team was favored. Recently though, his demanding respect (several times), telling us that we will miss him and calling himself the GOAT, wearing a T-Shirt of his own HS sports illustrated during Wemby’s first exhibition game all reeks of insecurity. Now he is tweeting at the younger crowd and talking stuff.
Great point! I'm in my mid-50s and Magic was my GOAT for only a few years after MJ entered the league. My 20/20 vision has never deceived me. Jordan was just a different breed - back then and if he played today. Joe Cool is still my GOAT (4 superbowls and never threw an interception in any of them games) but I have zero beef with anyone that perceives Brady as the GOAT.
One of the things I despise most about Bron is his insecurity. After his 17th season and winning that bubble chip he was crying for his "damn respect." Does he not see that if hadn't received it by his 17th season, chances are he's never going to attain it?
If I remember correctly Clyde Drexler was the 2nd best shooting guard in the Jordan era
For like two years he was. Not the whole time. He was a great shooting guard, though.
Bro he ran a 44.2 his vertical was 48 inches but the problem with that is if you mix that with his speed his vertical was like 52 not to mention his hands was the size of a baseball mitt he was super fast half of the time you ain't know what happen to they rewind the tape I seen him play live he was fast ...
4.38 40
And some people say LBJ is a superior athlete...lol
Jordan played all 82 games too.
Underrated comment...he saved NOTHING!....no meaningless games existed for MJ...you paid ?...you got AIR JORDAN!!!
You gotta watch MJ’s best defensive highlights vid. That’s what really separates him from everyone else!
At 6-6 MJ was terrific in traffic something different* highlight reels is like pure gold in this era still*
Athleticism, basketball IQ and skill, the drive and discipline to win, are in my eyes, what make a great basketball player. 2 out of the 3 would do. Jordan is that rarest one that no only had all three in spades, but was always willing to improve if he believed he needed to. When he first entered the league, people were astonished by his athlecticism (he's called Airness for a reason), but there were a few who criticized him as a dunker only, light on mid-range shots. So he went to practice and eventually the mid-range shots became his bread and butter, especially during his 2nd 3-peat. His 3pt percentage is average, but remember in 91-92, game 1 against the Trail Blazers, he sank six three-pointers by the end of the first half, a record at the time. He didn't care too much about 3-pointers, as most dominant players during the 90s were. In an interview, he said to the effect that if he relied too much on the 3-pointers, he'd be sitting along the 3-point line, and would thus negatively impact the rest of his game.
I love it when you talk on the video, as long as you don't skip any highlights because you are looking at the camera for like 1 second while not pausing the video that's about it. Keep them videos comming :D
People who say MJ wasn't a good shooter only look at stats compared to certain others. Yes there are times when he could be a bit hit-and-miss or have a run of misses or start slow, but for the most part he was an amazing shooter, especially when you look at the double and triple teams he faced or the complexity of some of the shots he took. When you look at his 3 point shooting, same scenario, he didn't focus on 3's and took a lot under pressure probably to try and win games. Considering the lack of desire to take 3's, he was a lot better than his stats suggest. This is shown in the years that he did focus a bit more on 3's, where he was in high 30% - low 40% or more. A then record 6 3's in 1 half does not a bad 3-pt shooter make.
His 3 point percentage was never that high. He was a career 33% shooter from the arc. He was average. His only weaknes was he was average from 3
@@crankfastle8138 89-90 on 3x 3PA per game he was 38%. 92-93 on 2.9 3PA per game he was 35%. 94-95 on 1.93PA he was 50%. 95-96 on 3.2 3PA he was 43%. 96-97 on 3.6 3PA he was 37%. It shows that in the years he made more 3P attempts his % was a lot higher, which indicates that in todays era he would be shooting a lot higher % on 3's. Not average from 3, he was exceptional from 3 he just didn't shoot them or most of his 3's were for game winners and/or heavily contested.
MJ best mid range of all time. Watching this dude live was something else. Just different.
#55 for the Hawks was Dikembe Mutombo. Jordan is the GOAT. Period. And I say that from a totally adversarial perspective: I hated that team and him growing up, but he's still the best I've ever seen. He's also one of, if not the greatest perimeter defenders I've ever seen.
Larry Bird said that's not Michael Jordan that's God disguise as Michael Jordan
One of my favorite reactions hands down 💯✊🏿
Keep it up my brotha
Its becoming a cliche Le Bron fans who ACTUALLY watch Jordan hit with an epiphany. Jordan is the goat.
I really appreciate the commentary during the video it adds context to your thought process. Love it
To this day I still tear up a little watching MJ play. He’s the only athlete to ever do that to me. Watching him play felt, without hyperbole simply magical. I often felt like I was witnessing something transcendent. He never took a day off. Watching someone truly leave it all on the course every single freaking night and be that good to boot. Like I said, magical.
My man, I absolutely loved this vid. You were real and appreciated all of it. For me, I'm 43 and have been a basketball fan and have been following it since the late 1980's: the big difference is the defense. There is none now. Check out the Pistons/Celtics games from back then. Blood all over the place. No doubt James has talent, but he couldn't play against the defense back then. Bill Lambeer would murder James as soon as he got near the paint. Love you, man.
I remember watching these games in disbelief. Cutting through major traffic. Such intuitive moves. Poetry in motion.
Mike has double the accomplishments in 13 years that lebron has in 20 years man it's not close its funny do your homework
He's the greatest mid-range shooter of all time. They didn't focus on the 3 in his era, but when he shot higher volumes, he proved to be more successful as well.
I like your vids so had to sub
Great reaction bro btw new subcriber here from philippines 🇵🇭
Mutombo had previously joked with Ewing and Jordan at All Star weekend that Jordan had never dunked when he was under the basket and never will. And Jordan took it Personal. 😊
The thing to remember not only was he winning scoring titles but he was also winning defensive first team and even a dpoty aswell
Man, I miss Mike. I was 11 years old when he was a rookie. Saw his whole career. No one like him.
Jordan was a great shooter in an era where they didn't focus much on 3 pointers.
Jordan and Wade are legitimately the two most prolific shot blocking guards in history, so good observation.
That said, Jordan has the shot blocking record for most in a season for a shooting guard and is the only 2 time member in NBA history--regardless of position--to record 200 steals and 100 blocks in a season. Hakeem and Pippen did that once. Jordan is also the only guard in history that is top 5 in career steal and block average for that position (usually they are good at one or the other). Alvin Robertson might be the only guy better at stealing the ball than Jordan but he didn't sustain that elite level nearly as long as Jordan (alvin was so good at steals he set the NBA record for most steals and highest steal average in a single season at 3.7...to put that in perspective, that would be more than double today's steal leader in a season. He average 3+ spg 5 times in his career.).
Also Lebron is 9th in steals, passing hakeem this year. Coincidentally Jordan is 4th all-time (at one point he had the most ever), 400 steals--or 3 more seasons--ahead of James. To continue with Alvin Robertson...he did in 10 seasons what it took lebron 20 seasons to do in total career steals. He also has the highest average in history 2.7 while jordan is 3rd at 2.35. Alvin was not the shot blocker MJ was though.
the switch hands layup capped a playoff/finals record 13 straight field goals made by MJ, still a record.
glad to see someone putting some respect on Alvin's name. the greatest thief in NBA history in my opinion, in his prime. but MJ is obviously on another level when you look at all around defense. easily the greatest defensive guard of all time, at the very least.
@@thetigerdenpodcast4381 100%
Jordan is considered the best midrange shooter of all time. That's not even remotely controversial. Regarding stats. Actually, cumulative statistics like all-time points say more about logngevity than actual scoring ability. Per game stats are much more accurate to actually provide information about the actual strength of a player in terms of points, assists. and so on. Also in the so-called analytics such as e.g. PER Jordan is practically always in front of Lebron. Watch the Best GOAT comparison next. It is a really good and informative Video. th-cam.com/video/tl3mR6eoEa8/w-d-xo.html
Right? I dont know why they're so hang up with total point stats. 15 ppg can reach that by just playing more. And they're so hang up with assist when those assists numbers depends on who is goong to shoot it. Lebron just happen to have scorer teammates.
@@algladyouThe triangle offense also made it so there wasn't just a single primary ball handler getting all the assists.
@@userunknown1578 exactly. Pippen, the primary ballhandler, barely averaged more than Jordan while on the bulls together. Pax, BJ, Kerr, Harper, etc didn't average many assists as the point guards and the centers had good assists for their position because the triangle decentralized the offense, as you said.
Ja is a stud but his vertical is 44 inches compared to MJ's 48 inches. And Ja doesn't have the Rodan-like hang-time nor aerial artistry of MJ.
I watched most of the Bulls games during MJ’s career. This video reminded me of how often on his one handed dunks he would dunk and purposely have the ball bounce off of his head. Never got talked about but I thought it was a cool
or off his shoulder!
People keep talking about Jordan's hang time. But forget that he has the highest vertical jump recorded in NBA history even today. He had a 48inch vertical leap.
not to be a killjoy but doesn't Shaedon Sharpe have a higher max leap?
@mikhailavanesov5912 you are absolutely correct. He's got a 49.I stand corrected.
The Pistons version of Rodman had the best chance to slow Jordan down... And that was when they can knock you out of the air lol.
I've watched the NBA since the late 80s. And no one is like mike. And I was lucky to of watched most of his games real time. The Bulls and MJ were must watch games. He is easily the Goat of the NBA. If he would of skipped college. And not retired when his dad was killed. Hed have the scoring record and 8 straight chips. Dude was Unbelievable and a honor to watch play. Kobe, bird, magic and Kareem. Are also at the top of my all time favoritel list. All were killers on the court as well. Played all out every game. That's what I miss about the NBA. Its not the same. Glad to see the younger generation. Watching greatness on display. Good reaction.
Bro, don't worry about people saying don't talk. Do what you want, it's your channel. You'll get subs either way.
I love hearing from a real basketball fan like you commenting about the game. As a fan, it’s important being objective when it comes to debate
It’s hard to see it in this mix tape - but I recall him setting his teammates up for shots. It’s almost like he had the long view and could see the plays.
Jordan would drop 30-40 on each one 🤣🤣🤣🎂
MJ played 82 games a season unless he was BROKEN! The man showed up every night and put on a show. He was met with entire teams trying to defend him or physically stop him. Back in the day, you watched it live and it was breathtaking! You go ahead and talk... it's amazing and I've watched this mix on several channels and it never gets old. Lebron just doesn't have that "it" factor. He wouldn't have made it against half the players back then.
Jordan came into the league as basically a drive/slash player……he improved his outside shot each year……Toward the back half of his career he developed a post up game that made him truly un-guard-able!
"Contact, finesse, glidability..n jes...Contact again" 😂😂
No. Jordan played in the era of Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Kobe Bryant, Charles Barkley, and many others. The level of play was higher and more physical than it is now. This Man was a phenomenon. He is the GOAT.
Great review, this mixtape is incredible. Would love to see you review Stephon Marbury goat szn mixtape if you can.
great video! i had a big ass smile the whole time lol... on the shot blocks: Jordan has the highest peak as a shot blocker of any guard ever. he has the first, and second highest single season block totals for a guard ever, at 131 (1988), and 125 (1987). Wade's two highest single season totals were 106 & 87. as a shot blocking guard, Jordan stands alone.
Great reaction
Jordan best mid range ever shot 50% from the field in that era
Check out his defensive videos. He’s still the only player to win MVP and Defensive player of the year.
Put it this way, whenever the Bulls had a game, it was like a new episode of a series. Every game he played was!
There is a video out there with a lot of Jordan´s defensive highlights. It is worth watch it to understand why this guy was the complete package of basketball.
Some coaches from other teams would writeup a chart of who is guarding who + advice on how to guard that person. When Jordan's name was placed on the chart, they would write the name of the person guarding him, and the advice was "good luck". Plus the coach didn't get mad at the person guarding him, cause they were like, well its Jordan.
In terms of going for dunks and contact finishes Morant does play like Jordan, or at least he tries, but the difference is Jordan's vertican is higher, he is 6'6, longer arms and bigger hands that he can easily control the ball and switch his shot angle and hands mid air.
He must've dunked on Mourning, Laimbeer and Ewing a million times lol.
Jordan was a deadly three & mid range shooter. They didn’t shoot threes in his era & he was right there percentage wise with the guys who were considered the best three shooters.
Have you watched the 16 mins of Michael Jordan facts that will convince you he's the goat. There's no NBA better than Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan is and always will be the G.O.A.T
Glideability? I'm gonna steal that. He really did look like he was flying with that crazy vertical.
Jordan is the best mid range shooter in history.
a common argument is that all stars and hall of famers from the past era would not be as good in todays era. that is...an absolutely idiotic thing to say out loud.
if any of the past greats played in todays era, they would not play in the exact same way that they did back in the day because they would have grown up in the same era as todays players, having the same influences and ability to learn from the history of the game as literally everyone else. the things that made them stand out from their peers would still be true in this era, just adapted to todays game.
players who are able to innovate in order to win will always be among the greats.
The basketball event test is all that count for me. As s hooper...to watch jordan even on video make me feel like when I was 16
Today's NBA is so soft. In the Bulls series against the Detroit Pistons, the Pistons instituted the "Jordan rules". Basically it was whenever Michael went to the basket, they would mug him. Rick Mahorn & Bill Laimbeer were two of the dirtiest players in the NBA. They fouled MJ extremely hard & should have been elected from the game. Today's NBA is NOT about the team. It's about individual players getting stats. The team be damned. I have been a Chicago Bulls fan since the 1990s. I wish that management would not have fired Tom Thibideaux. He had the Bulls in playoff contention just about every year that he was head coach
Personally, I say talk. It’s a reaction video for a reason brodie! Get your thoughts out. Idk why people hate. They can just watch the video themselves. It’s a reaction video they are watching, not the video itself. Keep it up bro, got a new subscriber bro. Also the hand check era made it difficult! Couldn’t even double team too
Much appreciated bro I’m happy yu get it 😂
@@o.gyanchiii8323 yes sir!! I got you!! You react to bad bunny tho . Open your perspectives! Do, “mojabi ghost” and you’ll see a bit lol it’s Spanish, but go for the vibe!
When Jordan jumped into contact in the 80's he was only 195-200? He wasn't 220 until the start of the 90's when Tim Grover helped him bulk up.
Actually jordan wasn't even 220 then. He was 210-215...he might have been 220 during those wizards years when being bigger would have helped him now that he lost a lot of his old athleticism...he didn't need to be lighter then.
Lebron is top tier but MJ did this consistently every game on both ends for 80-82 games his entire career...he regularly scored on 7ft bigs who out weighed him...while taking elbows, shoulders, rib shots, punches, and full on tackles..and STILL scored/won...they double/triple teamed him and it didnt matter...he outscored everyone (even now) on almost all 2's without shooting 3s...so yeah, MJ would do everything you saw in that video and more to everyone in the current no hand-checking, give me space, easy to score league... btw, thanks for pausing to talk so u don't miss stuff..well done!
Yeah, MJ the GOAT, it's not even close. It's so funny Lebron is still in this debate. Sure, he's a good player, but MJ is in a different universe.
Don't forget MJ was like this every single game, giving 110% destroying on offense, never slacking on defense...and he played almost all games of the season, no 'load managing'.
Nobody like Jordan. Before social media. Before the internet exploded. He was known all over the ENTIRE world. More than Lebron will ever be known or respected.
The guy has less than 3000 subs and is asking for ppl to help him get to 100k and a million… got to love the confidence
I like the pause to speak.
Jordan the most talented player I ever seen lace them up.
I never have seen a reaction video which is so spot on!!!!! At the end you mentioned what if Lebron had won 6 championships! At the same time you can ask what if Jordan came in at 18 and never retired two times!? I believe Jordan's stats would of been untouchable!
About LeBrons longevity argument, he doesn’t play all the games like Jordan, and Jordan era had more physical contact.
No one who ever watched Jordan would say he is not a good shooter -- he was not a great 3 point shooter. His mid range was the best part of his game, turn around was unstoppable.
I played throu highschool in the late 80's. I had 5 fouls to give and it was my job to use them. I eeven averaged 10 points a game and did that. Today, i would be ejected every game.
Also, in gym where we called our own fouls it was my job to teach the new kids what was considered a foul. Especially, if they callled ticky tack ones. I would probably be expelled today
I'm getting sick and tired of the longevity thing automatically being given to LeFlop James for a couple of different reasons!!! 1st Jordan missed a total of 83 game's in his whole career and 64 of those were in his second season due to a broken foot, but LeFlop James has missed 98 games in the last 5 years alone!!!! 2nd Jordan's era was so much more physical and I don't want to hear the bs that because of his size he'd been dominant then too when the man flops all over the court and literally cries when he actually gets fouled hard!!! Jordan used to get tackled and dragged out of mid air then getting slammed on his back and NEVER CRIED OR COMPLAINED!!! 3rd you don't think Jordan could have played longer by shutting it down in defense and exercising the load management garbage?!!! There's not a single aspect of basketball that LeFlop James was ever better than Jordan at doing!!!! It's ridiculous that this conversation is even happening because it's not even close
Yeah exactly. Lebron missing half the games every year isnt longevity
OMG ! 是的 。MJ🥰 MY GOAT FOREVER~ 💯💯🌟🌟無與倫比
It's amazing at 6-6 the Way MJ played above the Rim with unseen action in traffic like the green light*
Young MJ didn't have to shoot outside cuz he was Dunkin & taking names & older MJ was smarter cuz he knew he was getting older & wiser so switched up to mid range & MJ mastered the fade away. So Much had to adapt cuz of his age.
Vince Carter is only one with hops that dunked on dudes like MJ!!!! Facts!!!!
That era of defense couldn't be duplicated one of most physical Eras of basketball ever
First. Great reaction video. Here are a few facts. Jordan said he didn't want the 3 pointer to be a big part of his game. But videos prove he could and would. Look up the shrug game. I think he was 6 for 6 on his first 6 shots. All 3s in the championship game against drexler. And he called that before the game. Magic has stated that in interviews.
Some defenders Jordan faced. Mutumbo, Garnett, Robinson, Olajuwon, Duncan, Barkley. Shaq even admitted he feared Jordan. Bird called him "God in gym shorts."
But most of all. Jordan changed the game forever. He was able to do things nobody has done before. The great players after him. Have only mirrored parts of his game.
Speaking of totals, did you know Jordan still has more total offensive rebounds than LeBron which tells us a lot about how the game is played today.
You mean how the game is played by LeBron... He can't be bothered with offensive rebounds because they are actually contested. Even Melo has more offensive rebounds than LeBron.
MJ has more scoring titles than Leflop, KD, Kobe & Steph combined. While being a top 5 defender good whole career
GOAT, that's all I have to say, I've saw his entire career, he's a way different breed...hoping my ANT with the TWolves gets close to his level, but there will never be another MJ!
no one else has ever had a 48'' vertical in the NBA, in fact only people that have trained only for jumping have matched or beaten it, so just emagine if Michael only trained for jumping ha
Jordan and Lebron, no bro they can't both be GOATs. That G there, stands for GreatEST.
I have MJ as my goat, with Bird a close second. I have Bird so high because of the so many different tools he had and the multitude of ways he could impact the game. But MJ was just something different. I will also let you off the hook a little bit. The whole "talking during the video" complaint, Is aimed at videos where there is a narrator giving you information your viewers want you to get. A video like this it's ok to talk a little, but when you have a narration of you own to interject, pause (like you are doing now) Great reaction, Loving your channel so far.
Basketball fans that lived during the Jordan Era will NEVER see LeBron as the GOAT.
EVER and its not even close
