There are more athletic plays in this one game than Lebron has had in his entire career. Seriously. All Lebron's highlights are him barreling down the lane and dunking it.... When Jordan played, it was like art... God I miss watching him
Great upload. The natural, pure athleticism combined with the natural improvisational instincts combined with the congenital body control were all singular from day one. This perfect blend of physical gifts cannot be taught or practiced and it's unlikely that it will ever happen again. And if it did, you'd still need the supersized hands of course.
Jordan wasn't the only player to ever have a "full game" upon entering the League. Sure he was skilled and talented in every aspect of the game but his athleticism, which made his dominance look so effortless, is what put him in a league of his own.
I can't believe he pulled off all those moves in just his second NBA game! It's pure joy to watch him at this stage; his game is still raw but you can spot glimpses of what he'd eventually become. And then there's the athletic aspect -- holy cow! The evolution of MJ's game is a thing of beauty.

I'M GONNA TELL YOU SOMETHING, THERE'S NOT MUCH YOU CAN SAY ABOUT THIS. So early in his career but that comment sums up jordan's carreer and abilities as an athlete and basketball player
4:57 That is just awesome. Not just the move in itself, which is artistic, creative and utterly beautiful, but look at where he takes off! Freaking insane.
Comparing Lebron to Jordan is a joke. Lebron may not even be the best of his time. Kevin Durant is just as good. Jordan is above and beyond any of them in every aspect of the game.
I don't remember from when I wrote that comment, but I believe it was because I found similarities in his game compared to the modern guards of today. (2000s-present.)
sorry! he was outstanding!second game in nba.one or two of the best dunk ever...block...rebounds...he try to win at the end...simply he was the best from first time touch the nba ground!
@agentnono24 his entire career was special. was dominant from day 1. look for yourself. bulls were not in the playoffs before he played. multiple scoring titles. all defensive teams. a season mvp and a all star mvp. should have been mvp from 87-93. by far the most best player in the game during that time. magics mvps should be jordan by numbers alone.
Looks as if Jordan is playing in a Senior Citizen's league or something. He took the NBA by storm. Opposing teams were not even remotely ready to defend this new breed of an athlete...
I believe they were dunks. Similar to the Jordan 1's but I recall seeing a picture of him wearing some other Nikes. I have been looking but the website of his pictures is shut down for some reason =/
@agentnono24 Dude, Pippen was there every time the Piston beat them, he joined in 87, as did Grant. Phil was an assistant when the Pistons beat 'em and was head coach the last time the Pistons beat 'em.
@adi1096 also lets break down jordans 7th year, with lebrons 7th year. as a team, the 90-91 bulls were 61-21, the 09-10 cavs were 61-21. for points, the bulls had only 3 people with 10+pts, (jordan31.5,pipen17.8,grant12.8) the cavs had 4 (james29.7,mo15.8,jamison15.8,shaq12) rebounding: bulls had 4 ppl with 5 + rpg(grant8.4,pippen7.3,cartwright6.2,MJ6) cavs had 6 ppl(jamison7.7,varejao,7.6,LBJ7.3,shaq6.7,bigZ 5.4,hickson5) assists: bulls had 2 ppl with 5+(MJ6.2,pippen5.5) CONTINUED
@ironbull2003 You can't look at stats and tell how well someone played. Jordan played on a level that kobe and leebron haven't in terms of consistency and clutch play
Yes he did, thats why he's the best, he never took a day off.(unlike kobe) these young cats that think that Kobe and Lebron are the shit aint nothing compared to MJ. i'll defend His airness any day of the week until the day I die because I thank the lord I was around to see Mj do his thing. Look at all his videos they post about Mj and you'll learn for yourself. REAL nba PLAYERS KNOW WHO THE BEST IS AND ALways will be!

MJ was totally special since the very beginning, you can see that in every move. Best of all time, by far.
''He's got ice water in his vains after all''--understatement of the century
Damn every basket is an icredible highlight!
In his 2nd game, better than any star today. GOAT
i never saw the Young Michael J... well i was born that year... but every time i watch this guy play... amazes me!
SEE..Jordan was far more electrifying than Kobe or Lebron... These newer guys may get better stats faster but no one was more flashy than jordan...
HOLY TOLEDO

that dunk was insane, just a step inside the free throw line! cradle dunk too!
Every field goal by MJ was a highlight in this game!, haha. So spectacular, so efficient, and this only on his second profesional game. Just amazing!
It would be freakin awesome if they posted all of michael Jordan's games. Especially in 1988. A man can dream.

one of the best dunks ever....outstanding

Jordan was sooooooo ahead of his time.

Young jordan jumps where just unbelievable.
Like 5 of his plays these games are on highlight reels, for him to make this happen in only his second pro game is incredible!!!!!!
Wow, I just wish I could be able to watch all of Jordan's games, in HD, no one can do what he does, simply dominating the game.
Woolridge was quite the athlete himself.
My God did you see where he took off from for that rock the cradle?
3:27 Good God that dunk was nasty. Believe that was Woolridge.

I'M GONNA TELL YOU SOMETHING, THERE'S NOT MUCH YOU CAN SAY ABOUT THIS.
So early in his career but that comment sums up jordan's carreer and abilities as an athlete and basketball player
there is no era for jordan he is a man without a time slot
This was his second game? who has a second game like this???????LMAO..
Love the bounce pass to Woolridge at 4:12. He shows the Flash and the fundamentals
the debut of the 2 handed cradle dunk
MJ ahead of his time here..
4:57 That is just awesome. Not just the move in itself, which is artistic, creative and utterly beautiful, but look at where he takes off! Freaking insane.
"Here COMES Mr. Jordan is Right!"

NBA wasn't yet ready for a guy like Mr Jordan ! lol
wow that rock the cradle was silly!!!!!!!! he jumped from like a foot or two inside the free throw line! i cant get over it
that has gotta be the best two handed dunk i have ever seen...
Holy crap.
How have I never seen that alley oop at 2:55???
Not just the best basketball player...probably the BEST athlete of all time and one of the 3 most important people trough history...
4:54 - distance on that dunk was nuts
simply the best of all
Look where he jumps from for that dunk at 5:00... holy
5:29 "He's just trying to draw the foul here. That's all." Hah... Jordan never played to draw the foul.... he was going to score regardless.
Wow...Not bad for his second game!!
HOLY TOLEDO!!!!!
Jordan with the Flip-over! Holy Toledo!
Johnny Red Kerr could only say "Holy Toledo" on TV, but you know he wanted to say "Holy Fuck!"
MJ SHOWING OFF HIS CLUTCH GENE
MJ with hair was deadly. :-)
I know this is just highlights but maaan J was KILLIN Sidney Moncrief.
that's an example jordan was ahead of his era
Dam that two handed cradle at the end is sick
wow what a shot and maneuver! lord
Before the shoe deal...
that dunk was amazing....
remember he always did something special against the bucks! They gave the bulls their 70th win in 1996
LEGEND!
9 miserable LeBron fans dislike this vid.
What are you talking about? He's even ahead of OUR time!
Who the heck is that Toledo guy the announcer kept talking about?
like its 84 here we go his airness is Extravagant !
I don't remember from when I wrote that comment, but I believe it was because I found similarities in his game compared to the modern guards of today. (2000s-present.)
oh my god that dunk by orlando at 3:27 made my jaw drop
seems like his shooting motion changed a lot from earlier in his career to later. he shoots from the side here whereas later he is square and center
So, there was this guy the other day joking, saying players in the 80's didn't even knew how to alley-hoop... kids today are hilarious.
Yo man them kicks were Nike Airships, kinda cross between terminator and dunks. He wore them in his first year before the 1`s dropped.

da dunk that big man had was crazy
sorry! he was outstanding!second game in nba.one or two of the best dunk ever...block...rebounds...he try to win at the end...simply he was the best from first time touch the nba ground!
3:25 amazing move and pass to Orlando Woolridge who slams it hard over Alton Lister.
4 Kobe fans disliked this. Sad. Kobe couldnt do this at 22 years old let alone first coming in the leauge.
@agentnono24 his entire career was special. was dominant from day 1. look for yourself. bulls were not in the playoffs before he played. multiple scoring titles. all defensive teams. a season mvp and a all star mvp. should have been mvp from 87-93. by far the most best player in the game during that time. magics mvps should be jordan by numbers alone.
didnt he run like a 4.3 40 time? he so damn fast!!

what a hangtime :OOOOO
amazing.
"Sid goes a little hollywood there" means fakes hahahaha
reverse at that was rare. Few player could do that.
I believe they were dunks. Similar to the Jordan 1's but I recall seeing a picture of him wearing some other Nikes. I have been looking but the website of his pictures is shut down for some reason =/
2:14 thats massive from the post and his elbows at the rim
thats funny, because thats Orlando Woolridge, hey made also the first through the legs dunk which was very underrated either

his feet must have been hurting after this game-his feet were like "muthafucker,stop jumping so far away,we just grew back 4 toe nails.''
@adi1096 jordan in his second year averaged 43.7 pts a game in the playoffs.
I believe he signed with Nike they just didn't have his signature shoes until the second half of the rookie year.
the G.O.A.T.
I agree! Hadn't seen it before actually.
Yo man what shoes did MJ wear this game? just wondering cuz i don't remember Jordan signing with anyone at this time?
@ironbull2003 You can't look at stats and tell how well someone played. Jordan played on a level that kobe and leebron haven't in terms of consistency and clutch play

amen
@DNW41
Lebron - Best Stats / Dunks
Kobe- Best jumpshot/ teammates
MJ - Clutch better defense and athleticism
How so? He had many stylistic comparisons to Dr. J and David Thompson at this time.
Holy Toledo!!!!
