I’m a 13 year old teen and my Dad comes home from work and tells me “you got to turn on the basketball game tonight and watch this kid Michael Jordan. He is absolutely incredible.” I was hooked from then on. Happy Birthday 🐐
You know what got me? I was like 12, didn't even like basketball, but some friends and I walked to the store and they had some packs of basketball cards, we decided it would be different and fun so we each got a couple. Got home, sat in the front yard and opened them. I still remember going through the cards and coming across a Jordan, 91 hoops where he's dunking and has an expression of idk you know how he is like maniacal intensity or determination, and seeing it just instantly flipped something in me. I was in awe I'd never seen such a thing, n it was like I came across exactly what I wanted to be like. But yea from there him and basketball became an obsession for a long time. Still have the card.
You made my point Tony. It was Michael himself and his amazing style of playing that turned us onto him, not his shoes like Shannon said. The shoes were cool but if Michael didn't back it up on the court, who would buy them?
He’s most known for being the GOAT, period. The sneakers, space jam, the behind the scenes, the mystique, the accolades, the journey, it’s everything, it’s all part of it. It’s almost like his story was pre written, hand crafted.
I mean he and kobe wouldn't dare pass up on that last shot what they wanted there teammates do in those last seconds set screens box out and spread n clear that floor for him n watch him work
I like that you said the Journey, bcuz we watched him overcome the Pistons and learn to win, he didn't cut any corners to win Championships. He never set out to stack his deck to win rings!
There’s a lot of debate in that conversation especially globally considering soccer and cricket legends as well. But obviously part of the conversation of greatest athletes ever.
6 Finals MVPs; 5 League MVPs; 10 time scoring champ; 9 time all defense; DPOY. I mean, none of these are stats, just accomplishments. There's a reason his name grows. He was so much better than everyone else and anyone who came before.
Jordan wasn't just the greatest basketball player in history, he's the best athlete in history. There has never been an athlete like him and I can't see anybody ever topping him. Tiger is probably the closest thing we will ever see to his level of skill and domination.
But put up MJ vs Kobe vs LBJ best 12 year stretch cuz Skip wanna act like MJ ain't play fa da Wizards talking bout final tour n Shay say u already had dat wit da Bulls!!
Michael Jordan is damn near my superhero I’m only 20 years old I really didn’t see him play but as a kid Space Jam (my favorite movie) had me hooked to him & since then his influence has been heavy on my life his killer mentally on the court & don’t get me started with his shoes 😂 Happy Birthday MJ 🐐❤️ 🖤
No basketball player has more grace on the court than Michael Jordan. The way, he bounces, dribbles, shoots and dunks the ball is just a thing of beauty on its own. Nothing looks forced and the ball is just an extension of him when on the court. Mike simply looked like it was special effects when he had the ball and that is why they all want to be like Mike but can't duplicate him.🐐👑💯
Most elite basketball player on both ends of the floor. Scoring titles, with top 5 defense and often led the league in steals. You can't replicate this man... no nonsense.
Scoring titles in a league with no other elite wing scorers.. no KD, Melo, Iverson, McGrady, Kobe, Carter, etc. He wouldn’t have gotten up to 10 scoring titles in the 00’s-20’s
@@jedimindtricks5713 um u tripin. He'd eat these poor two gaurds alive today. There isn't a 2gaurd or smll forwd in the leuge right now that could stop Jordan from getting 30 pts every night.
THEY REALLY WAS ON POINT ON THIS ONE I ALMOST TEARED UP MYSELF THIS MAN IS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME HE WAS GOD IN BASKETBALL SHORTS... MY 🌹🌹🌹 TO HIM...
I can’t even begin to tell you the pain of being a diehard Chicago bulls fan who was born in LATE 98. LOL. I missed out on witnessing greatness but am so amazed and proud of Jordan’s legacy. A living legend. Happy birthday sir Jordan 💯
Jordan’s shoes are #1 to this day because of EVERYTHING he accomplished in a short time. The Shoes without the accolades mean nothing. He remains the 🐐
Skip really does a good summary/narration of sports events and history. It’s not something that I see any other sports media person really even attempt regularly. It’s a good feature. We are a people of story much more than debate.
Happy birthday to the GOAT. The TRUE GOAT. Hard work, dedication, god given talent, athletic ability, and and overwhelming excellence at the highest level. One of the many people who got me into this game nearly 3 decades ago in my grandmas house on the westside of Chicago. When it comes to this game we love called basketball, there is no name more revered.
He got me into the game as well during that time and when he left, I stopped watching. It just wasn't the same without MJ. Haven't watched basketball since he retired.
Couldn’t agree more! I’m from Chicago and my first memory was pretty special. I was 5 when Jordan won his last finals with the Bulls. I remember watching with my family and being so excited when they won after he hit the big shot. It was the first moment I’ll never forget
I first noticed Michael Jordan was going to be special when he was a junior in College (1983) at UNC he was on a breakaway Dunk and he did a Skywalker cradle rock . I said to myself this guy is absolutely amazing! The rest was history
Michael is the goat. At the NBA at 75 celebration, he got the loudest ovation. The game was in Cleveland. I do think the Jordan brand has helped him. The shoes have helped him.
Man I couldn't imagine never knowing of Jordan, never witnessing what he was. He brought so much to my life personally, in a lot of ways shaped who I am today. As a kid, seeing his mentality and drive it just sparked something in you. There's something powerful about seeing someone else do something extraordinary, or seemingly impossible. It flips a switch inside you where you recognize we are capable of more than we think. Even if we don't reach their level we can still pull more out of ourselves, often much more, n it's guys like Jordan that can inspire that. For me he was the pinnacle of that, even today nobody's showed me more about the potential of the mind than him.
Agreed. It became common place all over the nation to say He's the Michael Jordan of.....when describing the best of anything. Like, LeBron James is the Michael Jordan of recruiting All Stars to play with him.
even as a diehard lebron fan, it’s hard not to respect him and his legacy whether that’s on or off the court. sure he wasn’t the greatest teammate but he had the career he did by focusing so much on winning and having the mentality he did. the last dance made the lebron diehard fan i am respect mj and his legacy a lot and open my eyes
Who knew what WGN was before Michael Jordan came to town? What a legacy and influence on the city he brought and to the NBA as well. Happy Birthday Mike. "Sometime I dream, he is me..."..
Well, WGN was known for broadcasting the Bozo show and the Chicago Cubs. Remember, WGN was the second largest TV station in the U.S. because they were on satellite and cable. They called themselves WGN Superstation. Now I'm not saying that the Bulls didn't help but WGN was known like in Arizona. Why do you think there's so many diehard Cubs fans?
I’m a Lebron Fan and enjoyed this segment. It was about History, celebrating greatness instead of tearing down one person to make an argument. Happy Birthday MJ!
@@jp23xas an icon, nobody is close to MJ but as a basketball player, you cannot say that they’re aren’t comparable basketball players. That’s just blatant disrespect.
nobody is tearing lebron. it’s just people are not impressed about his legacy. and actually it really not impressive as mj, kobe, shaq, magic, bird and some others.
You can also argue a pele, Messi or Ronaldo. The impact they have in the other parts or world is insane. We just don’t experience that here since futbol isn’t as big here
Yes i agree . I just replied to someone elses comment saying that both him and ali were larger than the sport itself. Yes you can mention other names and we cant discredited any athlete thats good at their sport but not like them not the larger than life persona. They were both pure magic, though in my opinion Michael takes it
MJ is the most iconic sports athlete of all time and sure you have tiger and Muhammad Ali but Jordan is on another level, I’m lucky enough to have seen Jordan play in his prime on tv and in person it was spectacular
i dont think jordan is another level than ali. i just think the media is different and he's more marketable. jordan didnt speak out on issues so he's more palatable to white audiences than ali. that dont put him on another level though. much respect to his amazing athleticism still.
Why make this a race thing? That’s so weird and disgraceful. He was a winner that maximized his potential and was by far the most fun player to watch. He hung in the air for days and always hit the big shot. That’s why he’s beloved as the GOAT
My admiration for Jordan has absolutely nothing to do with his stance (or lack thereof) on social issues. If anything, it’s the reverse. You’re just disrespecting him BECAUSE he didn’t take a stance on social issues and agree with you politically, but Ali and Lebron do so you want to put them on a pedestal over MJ. Social issues should have nothing to do with the GOAT subject. Somebody agreeing with you socially doesn’t necessarily make them better than somebody that isn’t a social activist. That’s an unbelievably narcissistic take. Agree with me politically by speaking out or I won’t respect you and your legacy
MJ is not politically correct! He is not interested in politics so please stop it! He has his own opinion and does not want to share with crooked media! 😊
@@godnotavailable2094 Stay a hater. MJ made his billions off of investments in his soccer team, racecar team, hospital clinics, food donation organization, the Boys n Girls Clubs he opened in 1993 in CHI, on top of all the restaurants he owns (the man has a literal steakhouse dedicated to his name). Not even mentioning the fact that he owns a damn basketball team. You sound dumb.
That was a great era for sports. We had the GOAT, Michael Jordan, in Chicago and we had the greatest running back in NFL history, Barry Sanders, playing in Detroit, less than 300 miles due East, playing at the same time.
I remember when the Bulls won in 98. I had a hoop in my hallway. And the Bulls went up and on a ladder and cut the net. So I got on a chair and cut the net to my hoop. Mike was so inspirational!! Side note - I got grounded because my mom new that I’d want another hoop because I had no net now 😂
Happy Birthday, Da Goat, Da Black Jesus, Da Best Player of all time! I am just as excited today to be talking about Michael Jordan as I was when I lived in Chicago and the city paused when the bulls and Michael Jordan was playing. Just to ride past his restaurant after a game, even a game that the bulls lost was, wow. Happy Birthday Goat!
@@McFrappin it was a little bit, but not even by half of a shoe length. Still the most impressive two handed dunk ever, by a mile. If Carter had the work ethic of a Kobe Bryant or LeBron James, he'd be a top 3 or 4 player ever.
This was the first time we saw SKIP BAYLESS start the debate. It shows how big a fan of Michael Jordan he is. I’m 24 years old who witnessed the LeBron/Kobe/Duncan ERA. I am a HUGE HUGE football fanatic who has had the honour to live in the RONALDO MESSI Era. Usain Bolt, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Michael Phelps have dominated in their respective sports. But ain’t nobody like MICHAEL JORDAN. I can only imagine how it is to watch him play live. Or even witness it through Television. Happy Birthday MJ🐐. Thank You❤️
Exactly!! I'm turning 50 soon and when I tell he was whatever you was doing at the moment grinded to a halt to see his games. I recall a memory when me and my friends were done playing ball in the park and a guy was on the sideline with his girl they was about leave and he asked, "why you cut the short?" we told him Jordan was playing. dude cancelled his date.. Mannn his shorty was mad but he didn't care.
Man I'm 35yrs old seeing MJ on TV was crazy man. You can feel his aura coming through the television. I wanted to see him when he came down to Miami to play the HEAT.. tickets was sold out I was sad because it was his last ride.
I watched Michael Jordan play college ball for North Carolina. Dude was on another level in college. Great time watching him play in the NBA and watching MJ and the Bulls beat the Lakers in the Finals!
No NBA player has or ever will compare to the influence Michael Jordan has had on basketball. EVERY single kid wanted to be Jordan including today's youth.
Happy Birthday to the GOAT - didn't matter where you were from, what team you supported or even if you liked basketball.... if MJ was playing, you stopped and you watched literal greatness. I just bought some new Jordans too!
Happy Birthday to the 🐐 and he is still as popular today as he was when he played. I became an NBA fan because of MJ and there will never be another player like him. 20 years later and this man still has the hottest sneakers in the game 🐐.
MJ was an incredibly skilled player who changed the game and inspired a whole generation. I’d like to just appreciate that instead of make comparisons.
GOAT, a global icon. Walks into a room and it’s magical. Mythical creature, watching The Last Dance gives you chills. And now he’s less available than ever, making his presence even greater when he shows. Athlete first, business man and celebrity second.
Happy birthday to my hero my childhood hero my favorite athlete of all time the man my dad introduced me to as a young kid I remember like yesterday watching that game on TV with my dad in Early 90s on NBC against the Knicks and pistons I told my dad when I first saw him as a kid papi how can he do that it was like this man was literally flying in mid air only God could've have given him this type of talent I'm glad it was you Mike no matter who tries to put u down or tries to compare to you it's impossible God only gave one man that ability that type of energy that type of passion where we could watch in awe in impossible thing a human being could do till this day these young kids in the NBA can't do what u do they all have actually looked up to you and try to mimic you but there can only be one I'm so appreciative and happy I got to see you play you have inspired me to never give up in life to always have goals to fight in life for what you want Happy Birthday Goat God bless have a wonderful day 🎊🎉🥳🎂🙏🏽❤️
I was in the club one night in Chapel Hill. North Carolina, and I was standing right next to Mike as he walked in the club. I am definitely not a starstruck person, but with Shannon Sharpe is describing is real! It’s almost as if a breeze comes off of him that’s different. The slacks that he had on flowed in the wind, as if it was the finest material I’ve ever seen. The aroma of the cologne he was wearing was different. It’s almost like being in a fabreeze commercial. The man has an aura about him that’s just different. And this was I want to say and 1994 or 95.
Youngsters couldn't begin to understand why we have so much passion for MJ. Back then, most of us was poor. So many didn't have a Nintendo, which was the most popular console back then. Most of us didn't have anything but basketball. Most couldn't even afford cables, so we had to wait for games to come on CBS just to watch MJ. So he gave us a reason to believe we can make it in anything in life as long as we work hard.
Air Jordan so influential becoz MJ hangtime ability is unreal and no players able to imitates. Sometimes over 3-4 defender in the air. It's so iconic that everyone wants to be like Mike.
MJ just be chilling!! Dude don’t be asking for no attention. He just be minding his business. When he get with the Bros he interacts with them and then goes about his business. Dude come from a different era and different cloth. Gotta appreciate greatness while it’s here! Miss that boy Kobe and Nipsey
MJ is the GOAT of Basketball, has been and forever will be. If you didn't live in the 90's and see how great he was I feel sorry for you because no TH-cam video can replicate the aura of the time when Michael Jordan dominated not only basketball but fundamentally changed our culture World Wide. The only thing that comes even remotely close to reliving that era is the Documentary "Michael Jordan to the Max" made in 2000.
@@zacgrasl4229 stop acting like a little girl who had no father, I said he was second, you don't like it then disagree and move on, only women argue over opinion
The swag, the poise, the... airness, all backed by superhuman abilities, both mental and physical. Incomparable existence that surpasses the superstardom of any other superstar. Many people like to engage in the GOAT debate, but who has a jingle written for him? "Sometimes I wish that he is me." Stats and numbers speak volumes, but they pale in the ever-glowing halo of black Jesus.
I am 53 and a knicks fan and back then boy did I hate him because I knew this guy was so amazing that he was gonna CLOSE the door on us in the playoffs everytime. But to be able to watch all those games and see this man play and witness greatness and his desire to win was one of the most amazing sports moments I have ever seen and I was blessed to be able to witness that. Truly as Mike would say it is impossible to say who is the best BUT he was the most dynamic player I have ever seen. LIVE LONG MIKE AND IT HAS TO BE THE SHOES!!!!

Got home, sat in the front yard and opened them.

“I never seen anything quite like it “
Shannon gonna sweep up after Skip tell him to
I’m a Lebron Fan and enjoyed this segment. It was about History, celebrating greatness instead of tearing down one person to make an argument. Happy Birthday MJ!
I Like them both
Why do lebron fans think that they can only like one or the other. I like tons of players, but none compare to Jordan. It's possible.
I'm sorry that you are a LeBron fan. My apologies and condolences.
@@jp23xas an icon, nobody is close to MJ but as a basketball player, you cannot say that they’re aren’t comparable basketball players. That’s just blatant disrespect.
nobody is tearing lebron. it’s just people are not impressed about his legacy. and actually it really not impressive as mj, kobe, shaq, magic, bird and some others.
He’s simply the most transcendent athlete in any professional sport ever!!!
Could you argue Ali?
@@AJLD1 very close 2nd
You can also argue a pele, Messi or Ronaldo. The impact they have in the other parts or world is insane. We just don’t experience that here since futbol isn’t as big here
Yes i agree . I just replied to someone elses comment saying that both him and ali were larger than the sport itself. Yes you can mention other names and we cant discredited any athlete thats good at their sport but not like them not the larger than life persona. They were both pure magic, though in my opinion Michael takes it
@@raeldaniel9822 I guarantee more people know mj over there in their homeland than we know of any of them here in America… that’s the difference..
MJ is the most iconic sports athlete of all time and sure you have tiger and Muhammad Ali but Jordan is on another level, I’m lucky enough to have seen Jordan play in his prime on tv and in person it was spectacular
i dont think jordan is another level than ali. i just think the media is different and he's more marketable. jordan didnt speak out on issues so he's more palatable to white audiences than ali. that dont put him on another level though. much respect to his amazing athleticism still.
Why make this a race thing? That’s so weird and disgraceful. He was a winner that maximized his potential and was by far the most fun player to watch. He hung in the air for days and always hit the big shot. That’s why he’s beloved as the GOAT
My admiration for Jordan has absolutely nothing to do with his stance (or lack thereof) on social issues. If anything, it’s the reverse. You’re just disrespecting him BECAUSE he didn’t take a stance on social issues and agree with you politically, but Ali and Lebron do so you want to put them on a pedestal over MJ. Social issues should have nothing to do with the GOAT subject. Somebody agreeing with you socially doesn’t necessarily make them better than somebody that isn’t a social activist. That’s an unbelievably narcissistic take. Agree with me politically by speaking out or I won’t respect you and your legacy
@@mg-fx5dn Jordan just shut up and dribbled
MJ is not politically correct! He is not interested in politics so please stop it! He has his own opinion and does not want to share with crooked media! 😊
Michael Jordan will always be a legend. He put in the work and now is enjoying the fruits of his labor.
you forgot about the children making his shoes' labor
Yeah, dude made the NBA what it is today. He's the reason the NBA can pay so much and the icon most current NBA players grew up wanting to be.
As a basketball player? Sure. But no billionaire has ever earned all that money fairly, let's be real.
He will go down in history is the one of the worst owner in Sports history.
@@godnotavailable2094 Stay a hater. MJ made his billions off of investments in his soccer team, racecar team, hospital clinics, food donation organization, the Boys n Girls Clubs he opened in 1993 in CHI, on top of all the restaurants he owns (the man has a literal steakhouse dedicated to his name). Not even mentioning the fact that he owns a damn basketball team. You sound dumb.
Its not just his shoes... the man was great!
MJ came along at the perfect time. Cable and internet Became widely available. WGN carried all the games. Must watch tv. Happy Birthday Michael
Man I lived in Maryland and I got wgn a Chicago station because of him.
I grew up in the 90s back home watching the goat recorded games. The best time of my life.
That was a great era for sports. We had the GOAT, Michael Jordan, in Chicago and we had the greatest running back in NFL history, Barry Sanders, playing in Detroit, less than 300 miles due East, playing at the same time.
I remember when the Bulls won in 98. I had a hoop in my hallway. And the Bulls went up and on a ladder and cut the net. So I got on a chair and cut the net to my hoop.
Mike was so inspirational!!
Side note - I got grounded because my mom new that I’d want another hoop because I had no net now 😂
Jordan had(and continues to have) a unique aura that no person in this sport's history has or will ever have.
Happy birthday 🎂 MJ. You’re the Goat 🐐 now and forever.❤
I believe out of all athletes in history, Michael will always be the most revered and will be the most mourned when he does eventually pass away. 🐐
Happy Birthday, Da Goat, Da Black Jesus, Da Best Player of all time! I am just as excited today to be talking about Michael Jordan as I was when I lived in Chicago and the city paused when the bulls and Michael Jordan was playing. Just to ride past his restaurant after a game, even a game that the bulls lost was, wow. Happy Birthday Goat!
The best most influential athlete of all time
Thank you Skip for giving Dr.J his credit.
Far too many people forget that he dunked from the free-throw line first.
But his form was nowhere near as graceful, he did not even dribble
People sleep on Dr. J
Vince Carter did it two handed from the FT line.....
@@halowarrior917 It was short.
@@McFrappin it was a little bit, but not even by half of a shoe length. Still the most impressive two handed dunk ever, by a mile. If Carter had the work ethic of a Kobe Bryant or LeBron James, he'd be a top 3 or 4 player ever.
This was the first time we saw SKIP BAYLESS start the debate. It shows how big a fan of Michael Jordan he is.
I’m 24 years old who witnessed the LeBron/Kobe/Duncan ERA. I am a HUGE HUGE football fanatic who has had the honour to live in the RONALDO MESSI Era. Usain Bolt, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Michael Phelps have dominated in their respective sports.
But ain’t nobody like MICHAEL JORDAN. I can only imagine how it is to watch him play live. Or even witness it through Television.
Happy Birthday MJ🐐. Thank You❤️
Exactly!! I'm turning 50 soon and when I tell he was whatever you was doing at the moment grinded to a halt to see his games. I recall a memory when me and my friends were done playing ball in the park and a guy was on the sideline with his girl they was about leave and he asked, "why you cut the short?" we told him Jordan was playing. dude cancelled his date.. Mannn his shorty was mad but he didn't care.
Man I'm 35yrs old seeing MJ on TV was crazy man. You can feel his aura coming through the television. I wanted to see him when he came down to Miami to play the HEAT.. tickets was sold out I was sad because it was his last ride.
It was remarkable to see him live . It was like a movie everytime he played
@@DavidJones904 damn
The greatest of all time 🐐 MJ
The definition of what a GOAT is
Michael Jordan played basketball better than anyone has ever done anything else….. ever🤷🏿♂️
MJ is amazing
MJ has always done A TON of things behind the scenes. He just doesn't broadcast it.
There is no one in the world with more chemistry then these two
Jordan is the G.A.O.T Greatest Athlete Of All Time.
Bo Jackson?
Cap, there's no greatest, on greatests
I watched Michael Jordan play college ball for North Carolina. Dude was on another level in college. Great time watching him play in the NBA and watching MJ and the Bulls beat the Lakers in the Finals!
MJ is the GOAT! Period!
Michael's father played a part also... You know the guy he got all of his mannerisms and hard work from
No NBA player has or ever will compare to the influence Michael Jordan has had on basketball. EVERY single kid wanted to be Jordan including today's youth.
Jordan’s are such timeless style. Brilliant design.
Happy birthday Michael! Greetings from your biggest fan from the Netherlands. You are simply by far the beste ever. The real crown is on your head.🫅
Happy Birthday to the GOAT - didn't matter where you were from, what team you supported or even if you liked basketball.... if MJ was playing, you stopped and you watched literal greatness.
I just bought some new Jordans too!
This conversation is deep I literally got chills off the way they are describing Jordan man 😮💨❤️🔥
Happy Birthday to the 🐐 and he is still as popular today as he was when he played. I became an NBA fan because of MJ and there will never be another player like him. 20 years later and this man still has the hottest sneakers in the game 🐐.
MJ was an incredibly skilled player who changed the game and inspired a whole generation. I’d like to just appreciate that instead of make comparisons.
GOAT, a global icon. Walks into a room and it’s magical. Mythical creature, watching The Last Dance gives you chills. And now he’s less available than ever, making his presence even greater when he shows. Athlete first, business man and celebrity second.
If Phil Jackson stayed on as coach MJ said they would've won another ring if not two
🎉🎉🎉GREAT HONORABLE MENTION MICHAEL JACKSON OFF-COURSE HIM AND MJ 💯💯💯
He was the Best offensive player on court and the Best defencive player on court at all times! who else does that!
Feliz 6️⃣0️⃣ cumpleaños Michael Jordan!!!! 🎂🎈🎉🎊🎁💯❤💘🏆🥇
Happy birthday to my hero my childhood hero my favorite athlete of all time the man my dad introduced me to as a young kid I remember like yesterday watching that game on TV with my dad in Early 90s on NBC against the Knicks and pistons I told my dad when I first saw him as a kid papi how can he do that it was like this man was literally flying in mid air only God could've have given him this type of talent I'm glad it was you Mike no matter who tries to put u down or tries to compare to you it's impossible God only gave one man that ability that type of energy that type of passion where we could watch in awe in impossible thing a human being could do till this day these young kids in the NBA can't do what u do they all have actually looked up to you and try to mimic you but there can only be one I'm so appreciative and happy I got to see you play you have inspired me to never give up in life to always have goals to fight in life for what you want Happy Birthday Goat God bless have a wonderful day 🎊🎉🥳🎂🙏🏽❤️
I was in the club one night in Chapel Hill. North Carolina, and I was standing right next to Mike as he walked in the club. I am definitely not a starstruck person, but with Shannon Sharpe is describing is real! It’s almost as if a breeze comes off of him that’s different. The slacks that he had on flowed in the wind, as if it was the finest material I’ve ever seen. The aroma of the cologne he was wearing was different. It’s almost like being in a fabreeze commercial. The man has an aura about him that’s just different. And this was I want to say and 1994 or 95.
LMFAOOO man what???
Corny
Youngsters couldn't begin to understand why we have so much passion for MJ. Back then, most of us was poor. So many didn't have a Nintendo, which was the most popular console back then. Most of us didn't have anything but basketball. Most couldn't even afford cables, so we had to wait for games to come on CBS just to watch MJ. So he gave us a reason to believe we can make it in anything in life as long as we work hard.
Air Jordan so influential becoz MJ hangtime ability is unreal and no players able to imitates. Sometimes over 3-4 defender in the air. It's so iconic that everyone wants to be like Mike.
MJ just be chilling!! Dude don’t be asking for no attention. He just be minding his business. When he get with the Bros he interacts with them and then goes about his business. Dude come from a different era and different cloth. Gotta appreciate greatness while it’s here! Miss that boy Kobe and Nipsey
MJ is the GOAT of Basketball, has been and forever will be. If you didn't live in the 90's and see how great he was I feel sorry for you because no TH-cam video can replicate the aura of the time when Michael Jordan dominated not only basketball but fundamentally changed our culture World Wide. The only thing that comes even remotely close to reliving that era is the Documentary "Michael Jordan to the Max" made in 2000.
Watching Jordan was such a treat and it sucks many will not get to see him live, easily the second best player in NBA history.
@@Hey_Its_Dom2818he’s the best. Not second best or third best. He’s the best
@@zacgrasl4229 stop acting like a little girl who had no father, I said he was second, you don't like it then disagree and move on, only women argue over opinion
@@Hey_Its_Dom2818 well your opinion is wrong and stupid so
@@zacgrasl4229 an opinion is wrong? lol you can tell your mother died giving birth to you
One of the greatest basketball players of all time
One of?? 🤣🤣🤣 !!🐐🐐🐐
With regards to entertainment, MJ is the most entertaining player ever. Next is Magic. MJ was poetry in motion. He was also THE most marketable.
Happy 60th birthday MJ!
HBD to the GOAT!!🐐
Happy birthday GOAT 🐐 MJ 👊🏿👊🏿
The swag, the poise, the... airness, all backed by superhuman abilities, both mental and physical. Incomparable existence that surpasses the superstardom of any other superstar.
Many people like to engage in the GOAT debate, but who has a jingle written for him? "Sometimes I wish that he is me." Stats and numbers speak volumes, but they pale in the ever-glowing halo of black Jesus.
Mj is so goated bruh💯💯
The greatest athlete of all time
Happy Birthday Michael Jeffrey Jordan aka Air Jordan aka the GOAT.
GOAT 🐐 MJ
I am 53 and a knicks fan and back then boy did I hate him because I knew this guy was so amazing that he was gonna CLOSE the door on us in the playoffs everytime. But to be able to watch all those games and see this man play and witness greatness and his desire to win was one of the most amazing sports moments I have ever seen and I was blessed to be able to witness that. Truly as Mike would say it is impossible to say who is the best BUT he was the most dynamic player I have ever seen. LIVE LONG MIKE AND IT HAS TO BE THE SHOES!!!!
greatest player ever, he's just simply on an entirely different level than everyone else.
I think this is the most wholesome segment. Just appreciation
60 yrs old GOAT MJ can take this Lakers today in the Championship ... The real deal Leader on the Court !!!
😂😂 Yea right!!!
IM 41 YEARS OLD I SEEN JORDAN PLAY WHAT A LEGEND HAPPY BIRTHDAY THE BEST BASKETBALL PLAYER IN NBA HISTORY NO ONE IS LIKE HIM
I’ve seen, or, I saw…Jordan play…
