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.
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
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.
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'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.)
@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...
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!
@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
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 =/
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!
@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
@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.
''He's got ice water in his vains after all''--understatement of the century
MJ was totally special since the very beginning, you can see that in every move. Best of all time, by far.
HOLY TOLEDO
In his 2nd game, better than any star today. GOAT
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...
Damn every basket is an icredible highlight!
that dunk was insane, just a step inside the free throw line! cradle dunk too!

It would be freakin awesome if they posted all of michael Jordan's games. Especially in 1988. A man can dream.
i never saw the Young Michael J... well i was born that year... but every time i watch this guy play... amazes me!
Jordan was sooooooo ahead of his time.

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!
Woolridge was quite the athlete himself.
one of the best dunks ever....outstanding
Young jordan jumps where just unbelievable.
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.
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.
Wow that was his second nba game.. Wooh.
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
3:27 Good God that dunk was nasty. Believe that was Woolridge.
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!!!!!!
My God did you see where he took off from for that rock the cradle?

the debut of the 2 handed cradle dunk
MJ ahead of his time here..
"Here COMES Mr. Jordan is Right!"
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
NBA wasn't yet ready for a guy like Mr Jordan ! lol
there is no era for jordan he is a man without a time slot
that has gotta be the best two handed dunk i have ever seen...
simply the best of all
Jordan with the Flip-over! Holy Toledo!
Look where he jumps from for that dunk at 5:00... holy
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.
4:54 - distance on that dunk was nuts
Wow...Not bad for his second game!!
HOLY TOLEDO!!!!!
Holy crap.
How have I never seen that alley oop at 2:55???
MJ SHOWING OFF HIS CLUTCH GENE
wow what a shot and maneuver! lord
I know this is just highlights but maaan J was KILLIN Sidney Moncrief.
What are you talking about? He's even ahead of OUR time!
that dunk was amazing....
LEGEND!
remember he always did something special against the bucks! They gave the bulls their 70th win in 1996
that's an example jordan was ahead of his era
MJ with hair was deadly. :-)
Before the shoe deal...
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.)
Not just the best basketball player...probably the BEST athlete of all time and one of the 3 most important people trough history...
Dam that two handed cradle at the end is sick
Johnny Red Kerr could only say "Holy Toledo" on TV, but you know he wanted to say "Holy Fuck!"
oh my god that dunk by orlando at 3:27 made my jaw drop
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.
9 miserable LeBron fans dislike this vid.
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.
Michael Jordan

da dunk that big man had was crazy
4 Kobe fans disliked this. Sad. Kobe couldnt do this at 22 years old let alone first coming in the leauge.
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.
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
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
amazing.
3:25 amazing move and pass to Orlando Woolridge who slams it hard over Alton Lister.
Little did they know....
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...
what a hangtime :OOOOO
Who the heck is that Toledo guy the announcer kept talking about?
like its 84 here we go his airness is Extravagant !
reverse at that was rare. Few player could do that.
Full Stat line available at that time: 8/13 FGs, 5/5 FTs, 5 Rebs, 5 Asts, 21 Pts
Holy Toledo, I never knew Milo Hamilton did Bulls games!
I agree! Hadn't seen it before actually.
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!
MJ Basketball God
amen
Jack Flemming, the Voice of the Mountaineers, calling the game. Classic, and classic Jordan, the Best. Cars.
the G.O.A.T.
didnt he run like a 4.3 40 time? he so damn fast!!
@adi1096 jordan in his second year averaged 43.7 pts a game in the playoffs.
this was pretty much a typical Jordan game.
Kobe and lebron never play on this level
@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)

I believe he signed with Nike they just didn't have his signature shoes until the second half of the rookie year.
2:14 thats massive from the post and his elbows at the rim
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 =/
Nice spot!
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.''
Yo man what shoes did MJ wear this game? just wondering cuz i don't remember Jordan signing with anyone at this time?
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.

@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
"HOLY TOLEDO Jordan has 6"
@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.
Jordan was great because he didn't like to loose and because all this videos games wasn't has big has it is today
"Sid goes a little hollywood there" means fakes hahahaha
Holy Toledo!
