The quality of the editing of this video is on a level of its own, just as Jordan as a player was on a level of his own. It's worth watching just to admire the skill and judgment which went into making it. Good selection of shots, good choice of music, good balance between offense and defense; judicious slow-motion (e.g. 1:45), needed fast-motion to keep the pacing (4:25), perfect synchronization between action and musical beat (2:03, 4:02), well-chosen blending of commentary into the music (2:08-2:13, 2:35-2:38), necessary interruptions and changes of pace to keep the flow (4:18-4:32), repetition and magnification to focus the viewer's attention on the critical point of action (5:10, and 8:05-8:10) and even from multiple angles (5:16), preservation of most-recognized baskets for lynch-pin moments in the video (4:27, 10:26), and best of all, the seamless flow between similar shots (8:52, 10:02). There is a rare degree of skill on display here.
@@kamikazekrush3758 Well, not on its own, but it's perfectly suitable for this kind of video, and a much better choice than the endless clash-of-drums-and-cymbals which you sometimes see in other compilations. I'm thinking mostly of the first 5 minutes, to be honest ('My Domain').
Guys, I'm 43, from Russia. There was no cable TV or NBC broadcasts in the 90s, but everyone knew MJ and the Bulls back then. Still remember his epic duels in all his Finals, like it was yesterday.
Yo tampoco tenía cable, y veía los partidos en los televisores que estaban ala venta en las grandes tiendas comerciales de mi ciudad, saludos desde Chile!!!
This is what LBJ fans won’t understand. This is what he did on a regular basis. This is just how he played. This isn’t a highlight real of his best plays. This is just how he played.
@@monkeyboi84 I'm lbj fan....and i admit mj was the best.....we love LeBron because of his greatness and dedication on basketball and he keeps going on
Half of these plays I have never seen any other player do ever. He has retired 20 years ago and his prime was 30 years ago and there's still no one that can match him. Wtf.
The best player would have to be able to dominate in any era. Jordan is the only one capable of doing that. Take all the other greats they would have hard time dominating in every era. Yes he the goat by far. He is actually the most dominating player to play any team sport.
And people out here telling me there are at least 10 players in nba currently as good as Jordan. Please, not a single one can do the shit Jordan did. Not one.
I agree, people say players get bigger better and faster due to evolution, wrong! no one in this day in age can play like MJ. The moves you see him do in this video is still lightyears ahead of everyone today and he makes it looks effortless. He is the only one player in NBA history that did not have a weakness in his game.
@@ilovemusic3478 Exactly and the game was much tougher back then because they played defense! A player in todays game can't even be touched now....ridiculous!
@The Muffin Man who lives in Drury Lane another dumb human being! All great player says jordan can score 50+ points per game.. he's basketball IQ is too far from nba players today.. you should study first young man.. removing hand check in jordan era? Jordan will massacre you inside the court.. they play too much physical.. even millennial players said that jordan is too much to handle at age of 40 and injured he's still a head ache he can score 50 points out of shape jordan lol....
@The Muffin Man who lives in Drury Lane Lebron can't shoot and dribble like todays players, so? Whats the point? MJ play against Shaquille, that Is a way more dominate player than Lebron.
Jordan was the GOAT just based on the eye test alone. I don't know how anyone can watch his countless highlights and not say he was the best. Oh, and by the way, he was also the fiercest competitor, greatest scorer the NBA has ever seen, played defensively almost as well as he played offensively, won 6 championships without losing one finals, and all the while denying almost an entire generation of hall of famers the chance to win a ring. LeBron is amazing in his own right, but let's not kid ourselves on who the true GOAT is.
@@oneandonly3280Dont under estimate LeBron He is the best player in his.era. If you have the mentality of being narrowed mind don't get me infected. ..You only see 1 player and trying convincing yourself that MJ is the BEST of all time and there will never be another player but only MJ alone. By that kind of thinking you only killing yourself ...And I feel Pity on you man...
What you see in this video completely transcends basketball discussions. These are some of the most astonishing features ever achieved by the human body, and I am not even talking about sports. This is poetic, this is art, this is dance.
Best dunker, best scorer, best baller, best player, best teammate, best mentor, best athlete, best mind, best hands, best eyesight, best instincts, best finisher, best ever. Thank You MJ
I thumbsed this but then reviewed each to see if I _actually_ agree with all these statements. Some may be more obvious than others, but I actually think each _BEST_ you named here is true. The way I see it, sometimes God uniquely designed certain humans to stand as THE emblem or the quintessence of their art-medium / sport / discipline: clear examples would be Bach, Nadia, Newton, Leonard Euler, Michael Jackson, et al. And, thing is, I don't think every sport / craft necessarily has its clear _"one";_ in a lot of them it's not super clear ...but basketball is a category where it's very very clear (Michael Jordan.)
Vince is a better dunker, kd is a better scorer, bron is a better baller and player, this dude literally punched his teammates so no don't even go there. Best mentor hell no what is he mentoring??? Best mind is kobe, best hands is close but he don't even got most steals oat, best eyesight no bron, cp3, stockton, nash all are better. Infact anyone top 10 assists are better, best finisher is kyrie, best ever is bron.
The most gifted athlete in the history of American sports. The competitive edge, the killer instinct, the other worldly athleticism. Never has anyone had this total package
He was an amazing athlete but Wilt was a freak. Same 48" vertical as Mike at 7'3". Ran a 10.8 second 100 meters and high jumped 6'7". Benched around 400 lbs.
i think he isnt the most gifted.. id say hes the most hard working... and the most willing to do everything bit of his soul to WIN. thats the essence of sports..and thats what fans see.
Life is short and sometimes I think about all the things that I will never get to see, and it makes me feel sad . But in my short time on Earth I was a witness to the Michael Jordan era and it was simply wonderful. Thank you for the best MJ video on TH-cam. Thank God for Michael Air Jordan
Dusty Brown exactly! Watching these live back in the day when I was a kid was the highlight of my youth. People watching replays and hearing how good he was is another story.
I was born 1999 so never really saw him physically play but I had my family who did and after I grew up with them always telling and making me watch his games i always keep seeing his videos no matter what he always will make me be in aw of his gameplay. And that is to me what makes him the GOAT
The way he stays in the air with open legs, one hand palmed at the same time is truly beautiful, we never have any players that fly like that after him. Can’t understand why people say Lebron has better athleticism than MJ. There’s nothing to compare~
LeBron had a unique combination of size, speed, and agility that makes him on par with MJ in terms of athleticism but MJ was so much more skilled and creative with it.
Dare I say, the most well-edited basketball highlight video I've ever seen. Truly captures the greatness of MJ. A legendary 12 minute ride. Show this to your friends.
This is what a man that refuses to lose looks like. Like someone stated in the comments these are not highlights this is how he played every game! There will never be another Jordan.
Let me tell you why he is the GOAT. Because he can attract non basketball fan to watch all his highlights. I don’t watch play basketball and don’t even know the game rules. I watched his last 3 championship seasons.
Peak Wade resembled younger Jordan. Peak Kobe (may he rest in peace) resembled first 3peat Jordan, and current Kawhi resembles older Jordan. Mix them together into one player and still not close to the unfathomable talent Michael had.
How can anyone, even the media indoctrinated basketball fans under 35, watch this video and say without laughing that MJ isn't the GOAT? This video is a damn good showcase of what he could do...every single game you knew there was something he'd do that you'd never seen before and for all of the highlight reel stuff, his fundamentals were incredible.
This is the best Jordan highlight video ever made !! His timing,rythm, hangtime, super athleticism, footwork,playmaking, giant hands,shooting,dunking,game winners,original fade away, defense, Jelly layup package all on display.Kobe is my favorite player but this proves who real GOAT is. Jordan is the best basketball player ever. Jordan-Kobe-Lebron in that order.
Aww are you that insecure how you have to bring up someone else that has nothing to do with this 😂 dude is so sensitive he'd break in half with a stick
All, I can say, is show me a better player than Mike. These shorts are just a glimpse of his extraordinary talent. We have been privileged to see one of the greatest athlete in the History of Sports. There's no sense waiting for another Jordan. You won't see this kind of skill in a NBA player again in some 2,000 years: thanks for the video and the memories. Love this game for 65 years.
Unreal video editing that shows a lot of great rarely seen plays. Videos like this need to be at the very top of a search when kids search for MJ instead of the same old highlights mostly from the 2nd three peat or just certain Finals games. His entire career was a highlight reel and skipping his athletic prime is a shame. Just so incredibly majestic.
That sequence starting at 7:20 is just...all I do is shake my head! Jordan is the absolute BEST basketball i have ever seen. His approach to the game was beautiful to watch. He is just head and shoulders above the rest.
This montage should be put in the basketball hall of fame and played endlessly on a loop. I grew up at the perfect time to watch the real, undisputed GOAT. The beginning of cable TV, live worldwide sports, and the beginning of superstations, like WGN, that played all the Bulls' home games. I loved, cherished, and appreciated every single moment. Watching His Airness makes it difficult to watch today's sissified games with players that wouldn't die for The Game, like MJ. He was a different type of human.
@Rex Kramer aka Ted Striker I'm just seeing this comment, but you're right. It was hard for me to watch after he retired the first time, but I continued out of my loyalty to the Bulls and the other players I grew to love. This generation almost makes me hate ever watching Jordan though, because we were watching someone with such gift and standard for greatness that will likely never be duplicated again. And these new so called superstars are the worst, and watching LeBron, Kyrie, Harden, Durant, and others team hop, trying to stack the deck to win, spamming threes, all while disrespecting the generations before them makes me want to go crazy.
You are so right about Jordan he just play like that every game.what a privilege I had to see MJ kids today never going to understand why he is the goat by far.
Kids these days dont understand this. Larry Bird would too. He got double n triple teamed so much back then. If you do that, he'll find the open man, if you don't he'll nail the shot. Defence these days is a joke
@Derrick Miles No it wouldn't. By the time the 90s came round, they pretty much worked like hell to block him out alot more. Then he just murdered teams with his 18-20 foot jump shot which he can nail all day long....
It is i was thinking the same thing, he retired it broke hearts he came back there was hope, did it again, you just felt like he was going to play til he died.
@@cedrickfk1627 exactly, but even those really top greats of all time that earn their place, they just don't measure up to Jordan, it's not even disrespect, it's just a fact of life.
The invincibility, the artistry, the improbability..........how can you watch MJ and not think he's the GOAT? Statistically a couple of guys might have some kind of a case but when you watch what he did to the league on a nightly basis and pulling off stunts like the ones he does in the entire video there can be no doubt about MJ being the GOAT.
Like the move where he went past shaq in the air under the basket and laid up on the other side. He wouldn’t even have to do that in today’s league as there would be no one and certainly no decent big waiting under the basket.
@anthony bryant u mean the players of today era cant make d3 teams? lol this era dont even know how to defend and just full of drama queens and floppers. LMAO
I still don't understand how they don't put something like this on The Last Dance documentary for everybody to see, ESPN somehow has the same highlights that everybody has seen, and as iconic as they are, these mixes are actually better.
Agreed 100% most of the clips in this video aren't famous and haven't been seen but a lot of them are more impressive than the famous clips of MJ we see over and over again on ESPN
The clip at 7:04 was a perfect depiction of how smooth MJ's game was. The man was a true artist, a contortionist, an assassin, the ultimate competitor and was extremely tactical. He knew how to get the best out of his teammates and when to precisely attack his opponents during games. His style of play was so graceful and majestic to the point as if he was a ballerina on the court cause he displayed such beautiful footwork and knew how to put on a performance while captivating the audience. Michael Jordan was the definition of Poetry In Motion during his time.
Had to save it to favs. This literally encapsulates how MJ's athleticism deserves its own tier. His physical gifts were just made for the perimeter position. One of the many reasons he's the GOAT
This brought me right back in time to the Jordan era! Hands down the best highlight video to date. Anyone wants to argue who's the GOAT,,, sit them down and watch this video. This was Jordan every single game! Pure awesome...
This man's hang time was just ridiculous! That's what makes his layup ability so much more dangerous because he can literally linger in the air and adjust his shot at least 3 times to get a good look.
There's something else I noticed on most of his highlights...he plays through contact, without falling all over the place, like we was hit with a brick......
MJ IS THE GOAT. PERIOD! Regardless of total rings, points, assists, etc, MJ IS THE GOAT. PERIOD! There were ballers b4 him, there are ballers after him...UNTIL we see someone else impact the world of basketball like he did, MJ IS THE GOAT. PERIOD!
Nobody in history has ever been able to do the things MJ has done. Look at the way he palms the ball, adjusts his shot mid air, maneuvers through traffic. It has never been matched!
Lebron has lead in his feet in comparison. Kobe is the closes we've seen with those attributes but even he is on a much lower level in all aspects of what you mentioned.
@@cumbusta9175 He isn’t even top 5 to be honest with you young man… I’d be willing to bet your in your 20’s… I watched DR J in the 70’s to be real with you Lebron is at #9… You have him massively overrated!
MJ's abilities were out-of-worldly. The split second adjustments and decisions are the most mind-blowing aspect of his greatness. Will never, be another like MJ in our lifetime...perhaps ever.
Contortionist, ballet dancer, gymnast, psychiatrist all in one basketball player. MJ is a one of a kind basketball player that we won’t ever see another like him play again. We’ll be lucky and fortunate to come across another player even close to this man. If one does come along, the feeling won’t be the same because MJ set that bar of standard sooooo high. Great days in basketball.......
I really hope, with all my heart that you were wrong and maybe his grandson will activate again those unique genes and deliver the next step on Basketball... or maybe on another Sport, who knows BUT, i'm entirely sure that we will see "Jordan" SHINE again on Basketball.
Red 5 Ya but the era where you had to grind and physicality is dead and over it’s all powderpuff league now so all we have is our TH-cam highlights from when we were kids which I’m grateful for
@Derrick Miles He changed nothing. He was a worse version of MJ although better than Lebron. Also Michael's shoes sold and are selling for a reason. He was, is and probably will be the best ever. Learn the game fanboy. Delusional like the bronsexuals.
@Derrick Miles You got no idea about basketball. DR J inspired MJ but MJ was a better version of him plus other skills. There is no comparison. Skillwise, strength, leadership, scoring, efficiency, defense, vertical jump and hanging on the air, post game, dunking and finally accolades. Kobe had all of them at a lower level than MJ. Also Kobe scored 55 points on a 40 years old MJ in a bad team while MJ despite his injuries and him being rusty was clearly the best player on the floor. Now that he could not do against a prime MJ. Stop being delusional, you are not the only one that played basketball in his life and you certainly do not know shit about the game when players admit MJ is the best ever and the eye test AND the accolades prove that it is true.
Such a great highlights reel. Taking nothing away from the amazing Curry, Lebron etc... but MJ was guarded by the best players of his era and won MVP and scoring championships galore. He also defended the very best players of his era. He didn’t shy away from the challenge. He played guard and dominated the best. He posted up and killed whomever defended him. He dunked on the biggest of defenders, the toughest, and the most skilled. He shot game winners. Was clutch personified. Won 6 championships in an era when defense was really brutal. But most of all he brought beauty and romance to the game like none before him. He was a true cross over athlete admired globally like Ali. The GOAT.
The best highlight package on TH-cam I have seen. The young skilled highly athletic Mike to the older version whose skills were amazing. Like the addition of the physicality he endured also, the dirty trip by James Edwards will never forget. Just thinking how many highlights weren't in the video is mind boggling. That man was amazing
B.J. Armstrong recently said that we never saw the best of Michael Jordan because he would hold back in games so his teammates could flourish but in practice, he was an animal. My God. Imagine that!
@Ulysses432 Steve Kerr and Magic E. Johnson... Two names I haven't heard in ages. Thanks for the info and the memories, Man. I can't imagine something like that, neither.
I love kobe and lebron but really there is no point of comparing MJ with neither kobe nor lebron.. MJ is definitely on a different level. This killed the arguments on who the GOAT surely is.
I don't know how anyone could watch this video and still think LBJ is in the conversation of GOAT.I lived through it in Chicago, so I already knew, but this video is proof for anyone.
@@brucefranklin6295 a very accurate equivocation my dear sir... If I may also respectfully add: Eliminate having never lost in a finals (6-0)... Or having either series go to a game 7... And Eliminate the 6 finals MVP'S in those finals... He would still be the GOAT...
Please Don't consider this a highlight compilation... It's not... This is how dude played every game... This looks like one game in his career... Forget the rings--- he's attained GOAT status just based off how he played the game... The championships are just gravy...
"There's Michael Jordan and then there's the rest of us" - Magic Johnson. God just decided to play basketball in 80-90-s and he chose MJ's body. Seems like LBJ fans didn't see MJ in 90s. I've watched both so i can compare and have my opinion. When i watch LBJ, i don't have reaction, just very good play, but i have no emotions. But when i watch MJ's games, still in 2020, this is something amazing, just other level. He moves so smooth, so artistically and his will to be the best with his killer instinct. Maybe some day someone will born will become better than MJ, but it didn't happen yet. I had a goosebumps while watching this vid, pure greatness!
FACTS! Michael Jordan movement is so smooth! I don't see any other NBA player who was so effortless when executing both offense and defense! it was insane!
Facts! I was lucky enough to watch MJ every game from 1991 on and still to this day, he’s the only player that I’m amazed and dumbfounded by what he did…and I can watch the same highlights over and over and still be in shock and disbelief like it’s the first time watching.
“By no means can I save the world.” M.J. Maybe not but you made the world a little more tolerable every time we got to watch you play. Thank you Michael and thank you to the producer of this video.
Maybe not directly, but he surely has made the world a better place. How many people out there havent tried to be their best, if not in basketball, in many other endeavors of life like doctors, lawyers, politicians, architects, engineers, whatever, that were inspired by this man? For me that is his greatest legacy
Should no one take no credit from Kobe and LeBron, definitely two Greatest of All Time! But this man, MJ, just has a little something special: the beauty, the smoothness, the artistry that his body his move presents in the game to all humans! Thanks God!
Sad that there will never be another. Glad I was there to witness. And this is the best compilation I've ever seen of him, and I seen lots. Props for making this for all to enjoy.
Haha so true...he ruined it for me too...I tried for iverson and Kobe...but league just kept getting worse.. Tried again last year, my nba fan days are definately over. We were spoiled.
Outside of that 2nd season when he broke his foot, MJ only missed 7 TOTAL games in his other 12 seasons with the Bulls. Imagine playing through that kind of contact every single night and still playing all 82 games 9x in your career. To put that in perspective, LeBron has only played all 82 games 1x in 21 seasons.
@@NostalgikOne Yep.. The LeBron debate has come and gone... Although in my opinion it never was anything. Now the Anthony Edwards saga begins lol... Poor kid doesn't stand a chance.
@@NostalgikOne Also people don't realize that, just like you mentioned, he only played the final 16 games in the 85-86 season, and only played the final 17 games in the 94-95 season when he came back from baseball. So everything he accomplished was in truth only 11 seasons. What he did in the 1988 season alone would be considered a first ballot Hall of Fame career, in just that one season.
This poet from the heavens inhabited the air almost 30 years ago !!! It is unfair that people compare others with this monument to the perfection of the athlete. He dominated the sport and the world fell at his feet; He was the icon of sports marketing and he revolutionized it like nobody else. No other professional of any discipline is even close to him, nor Roger Federer, Maradona, Pelé, Ayrton Senna or Mohamed Ali. There is a before and after in the world after Michael Jordan.
I've watched a lot of videos on "His Airness", over the years! I was fortunate to be alive and kicking before he graduated High school. Grew up watching basketball, and playing that game fervently. This is the GREATEST short film on Michael Jeffery Jordan that I've EVER seen. If only it could be digitally enhanced! Also, some of the contact that guy took going to the hole would be classified as "assault" in today's pansified society, let alone that soft assed league dubbed the NBA (Never Basketball Again).. It's all about entertainment, now and it sickens me! The pansies of today's game can NEVER measure up to Mike! That there is a FACT!
having an unreal vertical leap, and being able to palm the ball like a grape... it's incredible what MJ can do with a basketball and we can only imagine. i haven't seen one close to his level since.
@Viktor Koda Nah,Kobe just got MJ's Post Moves, Fadeaway and Footwork but not his whole game,They just saying Kobe is a Carbon copy of MJ because MJ's Signature Fadeaway Move is used by Kobe. MJ's Hangtime, Athleticism, Physical Gifts no one can do what MJ can MidAir lmao.
I mean this guy was beyond words. Unmatched athleticism and he literally had no weaknesses. The greatest and by far the most impactful athlete of all time.
For those youngsters who haven’t had a chance to see Michael for a full season, THIS is a great representation on how superior Michael was. Every game was basically filled with highlight reels. Especially that 4th quarter.. there was this force like no other when Michael brought the ball from other side of the court. He would give you a confidence that at least 2 points will be made during that offence. Literally.
For the younger generation, basketball is an art , watch this guy he is the greatest , he did stuff that 30 years later people wanna mimic , don't compare him to anyone just watch him, smoke a joint and watch him .
Nobody looked better doing it than MJ. From the way he wore his uniform, bald head, shoes, suits and his style of play. He is just iconic. He shaped a generation.
I'm from africa and I knew mj back then without tv,Michael Jackson,Michael Tyson,Michael jordan,all legends in their fields,I wanna be a legend in my field too

MJ is the GOAT, no one else comes close to his airness
Can’t be the goat with a losing record 1-9 3 first round exits
This video shows that athletically no one compares.
amen! Lebron got hops but can he glide and contort his body mid flight like he was in a goddamn space ship?? Hell to the NO!
@@sdawg4834 for real SDAWG! I'm not even gonna read anymore comments, yours says it all!
What you see in this video completely transcends basketball discussions. These are some of the most astonishing features ever achieved by the human body, and I am not even talking about sports. This is poetic, this is art, this is dance.
Best dunker, best scorer, best baller, best player, best teammate, best mentor, best athlete, best mind, best hands, best eyesight, best instincts, best finisher, best ever. Thank You MJ
I thumbsed this but then reviewed each to see if I _actually_ agree with all these statements. Some may be more obvious than others, but I actually think each _BEST_ you named here is true. The way I see it, sometimes God uniquely designed certain humans to stand as THE emblem or the quintessence of their art-medium / sport / discipline: clear examples would be Bach, Nadia, Newton, Leonard Euler, Michael Jackson, et al.
And, thing is, I don't think every sport / craft necessarily has its clear _"one";_ in a lot of them it's not super clear ...but basketball is a category where it's very very clear (Michael Jordan.)
Dumbest shit I ever heard
I won't say best teammate...
Vince is a better dunker, kd is a better scorer, bron is a better baller and player, this dude literally punched his teammates so no don't even go there. Best mentor hell no what is he mentoring??? Best mind is kobe, best hands is close but he don't even got most steals oat, best eyesight no bron, cp3, stockton, nash all are better. Infact anyone top 10 assists are better, best finisher is kyrie, best ever is bron.
@@akasukiakatsuki9302 lmfaoooo thank you for the laugh bro🤣
The most gifted athlete in the history of American sports. The competitive edge, the killer instinct, the other worldly athleticism. Never has anyone had this total package
Ali. Mayweather.
Nah he's gifted but let's not get too happy
He was an amazing athlete but Wilt was a freak. Same 48" vertical as Mike at 7'3". Ran a 10.8 second 100 meters and high jumped 6'7". Benched around 400 lbs.
I'd throw Allen iverson in there for sure
i think he isnt the most gifted.. id say hes the most hard working... and the most willing to do everything bit of his soul to WIN. thats the essence of sports..and thats what fans see.
Life is short and sometimes I think about all the things that I will never get to see, and it makes me feel sad . But in my short time on Earth I was a witness to the Michael Jordan era and it was simply wonderful. Thank you for the best MJ video on TH-cam.
Thank God for Michael Air Jordan
I would also like to thank my cable company for carrying WGN! lol
LBJ will never be this great!
I'm so greatful to WGN..and now it's time for your Chicagoooo Bulllssss..Jordan impacted the whole world..everybody was playing basketball.
Dusty Brown exactly! Watching these live back in the day when I was a kid was the highlight of my youth. People watching replays and hearing how good he was is another story.
I was born 1999 so never really saw him physically play but I had my family who did and after I grew up with them always telling and making me watch his games i always keep seeing his videos no matter what he always will make me be in aw of his gameplay.
And that is to me what makes him the GOAT
The way he stays in the air with open legs, one hand palmed at the same time is truly beautiful, we never have any players that fly like that after him. Can’t understand why people say Lebron has better athleticism than MJ. There’s nothing to compare~
Athleticism is literally the one thing they thought they had in the bag 🤣😂
No comparison whatsoever. None. On a totally different level
The comparison is not even close. Mike walked on air
LeBron had a unique combination of size, speed, and agility that makes him on par with MJ in terms of athleticism but MJ was so much more skilled and creative with it.
The aesthetics of his game will never be matched. Pure, efficient minimalism with flair. No wasted movement.
As i call him, along with Pippen, a kinetic poet.
This highlight is way better than Jordan’s top 50 plays
A hundred times over
For the young folks who haven’t had the privilege to watch MJ now you know they call him Air Jordan!
His Airness. The memories *sigh*
Dare I say, the most well-edited basketball highlight video I've ever seen.
Truly captures the greatness of MJ. A legendary 12 minute ride. Show this to your friends.
MJ is from another planet
MJ is simply the GOAT
This is what a man that refuses to lose looks like. Like someone stated in the comments these are not highlights this is how he played every game! There will never be another Jordan.
100% goat. He was more than a player, he was an artist who made masterpieces in the court..
Michael Jordan was poetry enmotion
Let me tell you why he is the GOAT. Because he can attract non basketball fan to watch all his highlights. I don’t watch play basketball and don’t even know the game rules. I watched his last 3 championship seasons.
The skills, flair and acrobatics are just impeccable. He did revolutionize the game. Ironically, no one can do what he did til this day.
There is no NBA player, as of yet, that will ever compare to MJ, period!
Peak Wade resembled younger Jordan. Peak Kobe (may he rest in peace) resembled first 3peat Jordan, and current Kawhi resembles older Jordan. Mix them together into one player and still not close to the unfathomable talent Michael had.
So true. I really wish the comparison would stop. It's tiresome and ridiculous.
@Litty 3 Titty not even close.
@Litty 3 Titty to defeat mj in his prime atleast 3 people needs to guard him. No one is even close to mj athletisism and talent.
its true.m
Jordan doesnt have highlight reels. He is the highlight reel
I just thank God I watched him play 2 times in person and saw him again the 3rd.
How can anyone, even the media indoctrinated basketball fans under 35, watch this video and say without laughing that MJ isn't the GOAT? This video is a damn good showcase of what he could do...every single game you knew there was something he'd do that you'd never seen before and for all of the highlight reel stuff, his fundamentals were incredible.
This is arguably the best Jordan highlight reel on TH-cam. Well done.
It really is, I thought I've seen all Michael's footage but I realized I missed a lot more. MJ truly is THE 🐐
It's missing his 2-handed block on Mercer as a Wizard. BUT this IS the greatest MJ highlights put together on TH-cam!
this it's no a highlight ... this i't the regular basic way of M.J. play every single game...
El Chévere agree bro plus the 400 + other highlights r bad either lol
I was thinking the same things. This and The 50 point timeline
This is the best Jordan highlight video ever made !! His timing,rythm, hangtime, super athleticism, footwork,playmaking, giant hands,shooting,dunking,game winners,original fade away, defense, Jelly layup package all on display.Kobe is my favorite player but this proves who real GOAT is. Jordan is the best basketball player ever. Jordan-Kobe-Lebron in that order.
This is by far the best MJ highlight video ever!!
Michael Jordan = The Goat - Greatest Of All Time
Le - Bum = The Goat - Going On Another Team
Bron is a great flopper
😆🤣
Spot on
Imagine having to down grade another player just to prove a point
Aww are you that insecure how you have to bring up someone else that has nothing to do with this 😂 dude is so sensitive he'd break in half with a stick
Argue all you want over the next 2nd best player. Don't you ever, ever question who is the GOAT.
Right
@Fun Guy They are so far behind Jordan
LeBron
This is the best MJ montage I've ever seen. The scenes, the cuts, the music ..everything. How can anyone ever debate who the G.O.A.T. is?
Femi Agunbiade seriously how is even a conversation about who the goat is!🤦🏻♂️
because those LeBron fans are from an era where they never saw this Man in action
@Fun Guy
yep
All, I can say, is show me a better player than Mike. These shorts are just a glimpse of his extraordinary talent. We have been privileged to see one of the greatest athlete in the History of Sports. There's no sense waiting for another Jordan. You won't see this kind of skill in a NBA player again in some 2,000 years: thanks for the video and the memories. Love this game for 65 years.
Ok, then I will show you myself.
After all these decades he still makes you go "WHOA!"
Unreal video editing that shows a lot of great rarely seen plays. Videos like this need to be at the very top of a search when kids search for MJ instead of the same old highlights mostly from the 2nd three peat or just certain Finals games. His entire career was a highlight reel and skipping his athletic prime is a shame. Just so incredibly majestic.
Beautifully put.
MJ was blessed with a basketball body. Extremely long arms, very very very large hands and perfectly proportional body for flying through the air.
his arms arent that long tbh he has 6 foot 10 wingspan but his hands r big so thats probs y
@@paulgeorge9228 Every source seems to list his wingspan as 6'11". Which is pretty damn good for a 6'6" shooting guard.
@@purplemonkeydishwasher4241 i have no doubt it is because of his huge hands, his arm length n shoulder width seem normal
That sequence starting at 7:20 is just...all I do is shake my head! Jordan is the absolute BEST basketball i have ever seen. His approach to the game was beautiful to watch. He is just head and shoulders above the rest.
This montage should be put in the basketball hall of fame and played endlessly on a loop.
I grew up at the perfect time to watch the real, undisputed GOAT. The beginning of cable TV, live worldwide sports, and the beginning of superstations, like WGN, that played all the Bulls' home games.
I loved, cherished, and appreciated every single moment.
Watching His Airness makes it difficult to watch today's sissified games with players that wouldn't die for The Game, like MJ. He was a different type of human.
That'd be sweet!
@Rex Kramer aka Ted Striker Still hasn't, they trying to go back to those days some now but they got along ways to go tho
@Rex Kramer aka Ted Striker I'm just seeing this comment, but you're right.
It was hard for me to watch after he retired the first time, but I continued out of my loyalty to the Bulls and the other players I grew to love.
This generation almost makes me hate ever watching Jordan though, because we were watching someone with such gift and standard for greatness that will likely never be duplicated again.
And these new so called superstars are the worst, and watching LeBron, Kyrie, Harden, Durant, and others team hop, trying to stack the deck to win, spamming threes, all while disrespecting the generations before them makes me want to go crazy.
Lebron James is great but his highlight reel is nowhere near as impressive as this one! Jordan truly the GOAT.
You are so right about Jordan he just play like that every game.what a privilege I had to see MJ kids today never going to understand why he is the goat by far.
@@nelsonfernandez6097 fuck the kids
this isn't even his highlight reel. this is what he did game in and game out. the B reel stuff you probably haven't seen
G.O.A.T
He'd get 50plus pts in todays NBA. He'd eat todays players alive.
Oops thats murder
Yes
Kids these days dont understand this. Larry Bird would too. He got double n triple teamed so much back then. If you do that, he'll find the open man, if you don't he'll nail the shot. Defence these days is a joke
@Derrick Miles No it wouldn't. By the time the 90s came round, they pretty much worked like hell to block him out alot more. Then he just murdered teams with his 18-20 foot jump shot which he can nail all day long....
@Derrick Miles great explanation, but it wouldn't change the fact that MJ is still the GOAT. Nothing compares and will always be the Benchmark.
“Look at the hang time......the flying motion”
The joy in the commentary of the analysts calling the games in real time is also refreshing.
This is so beyond anything anyone is doing today that it's almost depressing to watch.
It most definitely is!
Yes it sucks our life's are so short and we get old fast! I wish he was still playing I hate the NBA today I don't watch anymore
Now you understand people who grew up watching Jordan play turned off NBA in the 2000s
@@CodyCha I watched till Dunkin and Manu quit from the Spurs, now it really sucks, only thing I watch today is NFL
It is i was thinking the same thing, he retired it broke hearts he came back there was hope, did it again, you just felt like he was going to play til he died.
Greatest of all time. No one can touch MJ - not Wilt, Kareem, Kobe, Lebron, Curry, Magic, NO ONE!

The invincibility, the artistry, the improbability..........how can you watch MJ and not think he's the GOAT? Statistically a couple of guys might have some kind of a case but when you watch what he did to the league on a nightly basis and pulling off stunts like the ones he does in the entire video there can be no doubt about MJ being the GOAT.
Get played against guys who would not make d3 teams now
@Porkee Pig and still can't make d3 teams
anthony bryant Question...how do you feel about Larry Bird?
Like the move where he went past shaq in the air under the basket and laid up on the other side. He wouldn’t even have to do that in today’s league as there would be no one and certainly no decent big waiting under the basket.
@anthony bryant u mean the players of today era cant make d3 teams? lol
this era dont even know how to defend and just full of drama queens and floppers. LMAO
I still don't understand how they don't put something like this on The Last Dance documentary for everybody to see, ESPN somehow has the same highlights that everybody has seen, and as iconic as they are, these mixes are actually better.
Agreed 100% most of the clips in this video aren't famous and haven't been seen but a lot of them are more impressive than the famous clips of MJ we see over and over again on ESPN
The clip at 7:04 was a perfect depiction of how smooth MJ's game was. The man was a true artist, a contortionist, an assassin, the ultimate competitor and was extremely tactical. He knew how to get the best out of his teammates and when to precisely attack his opponents during games. His style of play was so graceful and majestic to the point as if he was a ballerina on the court cause he displayed such beautiful footwork and knew how to put on a performance while captivating the audience. Michael Jordan was the definition of Poetry In Motion during his time.
Had to save it to favs. This literally encapsulates how MJ's athleticism deserves its own tier. His physical gifts were just made for the perimeter position. One of the many reasons he's the GOAT
This is why you cannot compare the GOAT to Kobe and Lebron. Mj is on another level!
I'm a LeBron fan, hated Jordan but I totally agree.
@africano dos santos dos santos he hated mj coz lebron never surpass mj.
I’m a 90s kid, and This is by far the greatest MJ video montage I’ve ever seen
This brought me right back in time to the Jordan era! Hands down the best highlight video to date. Anyone wants to argue who's the GOAT,,, sit them down and watch this video. This was Jordan every single game! Pure awesome...
This man's hang time was just ridiculous! That's what makes his layup ability so much more dangerous because he can literally linger in the air and adjust his shot at least 3 times to get a good look.
the best coment,you really KNOW about basketball.
There's something else I noticed on most of his highlights...he plays through contact, without falling all over the place, like we was hit with a brick......
Facts
You don't have to expect greatness when you watch MJ play. You just have to know you're gonna witness greatness everytime his on the court.
MJ IS THE GOAT. PERIOD!
Regardless of total rings, points, assists, etc, MJ IS THE GOAT. PERIOD!
There were ballers b4 him, there are ballers after him...UNTIL we see someone else impact the world of basketball like he did, MJ IS THE GOAT. PERIOD!
Nobody in history has ever been able to do the things MJ has done. Look at the way he palms the ball, adjusts his shot mid air, maneuvers through traffic. It has never been matched!
it's like c.g.i. but it aint, never gets old
@s wavey kawhi can't grip or command the ball like mj or Dr. J
S Wavey no he can't. flashy has nothing to do with
Lebron has lead in his feet in comparison. Kobe is the closes we've seen with those attributes but even he is on a much lower level in all aspects of what you mentioned.
Still misses the hang time
You watch this and realise mj is starting to get underrated. Nobody is remotely close in my opinion
Lebron is better in my opinion
@@cumbusta9175 fair enough bro
After watching this , you can’t say the man’s wrong... No one’s close.
@@cumbusta9175 He isn’t even top 5 to be honest with you young man… I’d be willing to bet your in your 20’s… I watched DR J in the 70’s to be real with you Lebron is at #9… You have him massively overrated!
MJ's abilities were out-of-worldly. The split second adjustments and decisions are the most mind-blowing aspect of his greatness. Will never, be another like MJ in our lifetime...perhaps ever.
Music is outstanding. Fits perfectly.
Contortionist, ballet dancer, gymnast, psychiatrist all in one basketball player. MJ is a one of a kind basketball player that we won’t ever see another like him play again. We’ll be lucky and fortunate to come across another player even close to this man. If one does come along, the feeling won’t be the same because MJ set that bar of standard sooooo high. Great days in basketball.......
And killer assassin competitor, the black panther.
I really hope, with all my heart that you were wrong and maybe his grandson will activate again those unique genes and deliver the next step on Basketball... or maybe on another Sport, who knows BUT, i'm entirely sure that we will see "Jordan" SHINE again on Basketball.
@@iggyblitz8739 lol! Black panther! So if kobe was the black mamba, Jordan was the black panther(either the marvel or the animal)
You missed acrobat and magician.
Red 5 Ya but the era where you had to grind and physicality is dead and over it’s all powderpuff league now so all we have is our TH-cam highlights from when we were kids which I’m grateful for
No wonder he was the best. I was born in 1988 and Michael Jordan was already a legend
It was a honor to watch him his whole career here in the windy City from the old Chicago stadium to the united center
Best video that illustrates there is no other comparison . GOAT
Simply the most all around gifted physical specimen the NBA has ever seen.
"Sport" has Never seen
@Derrick Miles Not even close. Closest thing to Michael but like Shaq said "Michael was a 10 and the rest of us are 7 and 8s".
@Derrick Miles He changed nothing. He was a worse version of MJ although better than Lebron.
Also Michael's shoes sold and are selling for a reason. He was, is and probably will be the best ever. Learn the game fanboy. Delusional like the bronsexuals.
@Derrick Miles You got no idea about basketball. DR J inspired MJ but MJ was a better version of him plus other skills.
There is no comparison. Skillwise, strength, leadership, scoring, efficiency, defense, vertical jump and hanging on the air, post game, dunking and finally accolades.
Kobe had all of them at a lower level than MJ.
Also Kobe scored 55 points on a 40 years old MJ in a bad team while MJ despite his injuries and him being rusty was clearly the best player on the floor.
Now that he could not do against a prime MJ. Stop being delusional, you are not the only one that played basketball in his life and you certainly do not know shit about the game when players admit MJ is the best ever and the eye test AND the accolades prove that it is true.
@Derrick Miles kobe was a worse version of MJ. Learn some basketball boi.
Such a great highlights reel. Taking nothing away from the amazing Curry, Lebron etc... but MJ was guarded by the best players of his era and won MVP and scoring championships galore. He also defended the very best players of his era. He didn’t shy away from the challenge. He played guard and dominated the best. He posted up and killed whomever defended him. He dunked on the biggest of defenders, the toughest, and the most skilled. He shot game winners. Was clutch personified. Won 6 championships in an era when defense was really brutal. But most of all he brought beauty and romance to the game like none before him. He was a true cross over athlete admired globally like Ali. The GOAT.
Darren Whitaker-Barnett Remember in that era your hand was part of the ball unlike today !
Its excellent, I'm just not crazy about the music. A matter of personal taste I guess

The best highlight package on TH-cam I have seen. The young skilled highly athletic Mike to the older version whose skills were amazing. Like the addition of the physicality he endured also, the dirty trip by James Edwards will never forget. Just thinking how many highlights weren't in the video is mind boggling. That man was amazing
Adjusting to the defense in midair, unreal.
True Colors true
This guy is a mutant. LBJ uses brute force to deliver a difficult shot. But MJ combines physics and art. Super Mike

And look at those hard fouls. Lbj will surely cry to the refs

@nabil chowdhury STFU, ain't no one asked you
Even the stats back it up! That’s why he’s untouchable. Aesthetic beauty married with statistical superiority.
Absolutely great editing, with the music and the semi-slow motion. It gives me the chills.
"There's Michael Jordan and then there's the rest of us" - Magic Johnson. God just decided to play basketball in 80-90-s and he chose MJ's body. Seems like LBJ fans didn't see MJ in 90s. I've watched both so i can compare and have my opinion. When i watch LBJ, i don't have reaction, just very good play, but i have no emotions. But when i watch MJ's games, still in 2020, this is something amazing, just other level. He moves so smooth, so artistically and his will to be the best with his killer instinct. Maybe some day someone will born will become better than MJ, but it didn't happen yet. I had a goosebumps while watching this vid, pure greatness!
FACTS! Michael Jordan movement is so smooth! I don't see any other NBA player who was so effortless when executing both offense and defense! it was insane!
Never seen someone so determined to score and defend. It’s crazy when you think about it.
Facts! I was lucky enough to watch MJ every game from 1991 on and still to this day, he’s the only player that I’m amazed and dumbfounded by what he did…and I can watch the same highlights over and over and still be in shock and disbelief like it’s the first time watching.
This the hardest highlight film in the world. Half of my childhood right here
“By no means can I save the world.”
M.J.
Maybe not but you made the world a little more tolerable every time we got to watch you play. Thank you Michael and thank you to the producer of this video.
Maybe not directly, but he surely has made the world a better place. How many people out there havent tried to be their best, if not in basketball, in many other endeavors of life like doctors, lawyers, politicians, architects, engineers, whatever, that were inspired by this man? For me that is his greatest legacy
Should no one take no credit from Kobe and LeBron, definitely two Greatest of All Time! But this man, MJ, just has a little something special: the beauty, the smoothness, the artistry that his body his move presents in the game to all humans! Thanks God!
Sad that there will never be another. Glad I was there to witness. And this is the best compilation I've ever seen of him, and I seen lots. Props for making this for all to enjoy.

@@NostalgikOne Also people don't realize that, just like you mentioned, he only played the final 16 games in the 85-86 season, and only played the final 17 games in the 94-95 season when he came back from baseball. So everything he accomplished was in truth only 11 seasons.
What he did in the 1988 season alone would be considered a first ballot Hall of Fame career, in just that one season.
He did something every game you'd never seen before or since. Something only he could do.
This poet from the heavens inhabited the air almost 30 years ago !!! It is unfair that people compare others with this monument to the perfection of the athlete. He dominated the sport and the world fell at his feet; He was the icon of sports marketing and he revolutionized it like nobody else. No other professional of any discipline is even close to him, nor Roger Federer, Maradona, Pelé, Ayrton Senna or Mohamed Ali. There is a before and after in the world after Michael Jordan.
There is that one guy though, preparing for his 9th Super Bowl: "Psycho" Tom Brady.
Always having a goosebumps every time I watch "His Airness" highlights. I knew I'm not the only one missing this.
I am a Laker fan. But if any player made you watch every game, including regular season. Mike was a phenom with indescribable artistry on the court.
When he retired, so many of us stopped watching the NBA because we knew we might never see anyone play a sport so beautifully.
I've watched a lot of videos on "His Airness", over the years! I was fortunate to be alive and kicking before he graduated High school. Grew up watching basketball, and playing that game fervently. This is the GREATEST short film on Michael Jeffery Jordan that I've EVER seen. If only it could be digitally enhanced! Also, some of the contact that guy took going to the hole would be classified as "assault" in today's pansified society, let alone that soft assed league dubbed the NBA (Never Basketball Again).. It's all about entertainment, now and it sickens me! The pansies of today's game can NEVER measure up to Mike! That there is a FACT!
having an unreal vertical leap, and being able to palm the ball like a grape... it's incredible what MJ can do with a basketball and we can only imagine. i haven't seen one close to his level since.
@Viktor Koda Nah,Kobe just got MJ's Post Moves, Fadeaway and Footwork but not his whole game,They just saying Kobe is a Carbon copy of MJ because MJ's Signature Fadeaway Move is used by Kobe. MJ's Hangtime, Athleticism, Physical Gifts no one can do what MJ can MidAir lmao.
I mean this guy was beyond words. Unmatched athleticism and he literally had no weaknesses. The greatest and by far the most impactful athlete of all time.
For those youngsters who haven’t had a chance to see Michael for a full season, THIS is a great representation on how superior Michael was. Every game was basically filled with highlight reels. Especially that 4th quarter.. there was this force like no other when Michael brought the ball from other side of the court. He would give you a confidence that at least 2 points will be made during that offence. Literally.
For the younger generation, basketball is an art , watch this guy he is the greatest , he did stuff that 30 years later people wanna mimic , don't compare him to anyone just watch him, smoke a joint and watch him .
Following advice sir
Nobody looked better doing it than MJ. From the way he wore his uniform, bald head, shoes, suits and his style of play. He is just iconic. He shaped a generation.
