@@KL-xe5ec who are the best defenders now 😂 I’ll wait cause we know there’s no defense now viewership down 50% that no name plays better defense then some of the best scorers back then they didn’t move out the way cause they didn’t want to get posterized that’s not a team mindset just thinking about yourself
I think what's more crazy is the way he gets that high , he didn't need a big ass gather step or swing or anything he literally just jumped straight up like it was nothing
Because he's 6'6 has footwork and actually hit the gym unlike today's nba player's all shooting no skill work and soft as cotton the early 2000s hooper would destroy the nba Ben Wallace would dismantle Giannis
Maaaan Mike is still different, you have to have been here and see it live and understand the moments that man gave everyone yr after yr,to understand why he will forever be the greatest
His games were like movies. We knew someone should get dunked on and a good chance they would win. It would be a matter of how. And if the did lose it was almost certain the next game MJ was going off
If you look at any Jordan footage and don't come to the conclusion that he is the best to ever play..... Then there is something wrong with you. Yes, there was a certain craziness to it live, but that was just social context. Most of what makes him the best is on film. The social context is this. Just imagine however popular you think your favorite is and multiply that by a lot. Then you have some idea how popular Jordan was. Without the Internet.
@@zorororonoa226 finals 6 chips 6 finals mvps. And a much better and spread out league. That means more than 3 good teams. I know that sounds crazy to a young kid to you (have to be young to have this opinion) but there was a time when 5/6 teams had a chance.
Also I told people Mike was the first to put his arm in rim not Vince! 88 dunk contest against my boy Nique!Look real close the 1hand up and under dunk him looking at the rim look real good! Tell me your thoughts💯
@@patrickhamlette4270 I agree, he had the timing, control, tenacity and hops to be a great shot blocker. He averaged over a block per game for much of his early years. The only other true guard I can think of that did that is Wade, also a great shot blocker. I’m sure there are others (Glide, Cooper ?), but my personal experience only goes back to the mid 80s.
He just spun back around like he was doing sprints, flying past one of the leagues best defenders in Gerald Wilkins, cuts back as he blows by Hot Rod Williams and as jumps across the lane, still elevating, he finger rolls OVER Daugherty. Still dope AF
This video shows you why Jordan hates the Pistons so much because he wouldn't be allowed to run it through the defense like that and then later lay the ball up with no type of resistance. Look at Brad Daugherty as a 7 Foot Center,. what kind of "defense" do you call that? 😂😂
@ the difference with MJ is his personal physical abilities and his mental. You can just tell by watching him play he played hard af and was very skilled. Dude worked hard af.
@@escoayala376ok so does every other superstar no ppl aren’t going to stop him there’s a lot of player tho where they are just not able to be guarded but the center didn’t even jump with him also he just had a great team around him also he didn’t win anything until Scotty got there
What makes Mj look so different in all these highlights is the intensity of the game back then. It wouldn’t look like that now. People where going at him hard and he was demolishing everything. I don’t think players like Luka or Jokic would look like that in that era but definitely players like LeBron or prime Rose would look crazy
Did we watch a different video?? 😂 All of you clueless fans love to say that no one plays defense today. Please explain to me where the defense was here 😂😂😂 TERRIBLE DEFENSE. He split 2 defenders by dribbling towards half court and then turning back around?... Lmao That's pathetic. And then big man just stands there with his hands up 😂 Was literally a free lay up.. The reach in attempts were garbage and all they did was let him pass them. This entire clip is just plain bad. Ja Morant for example would've tried dunking in this exact same scenario. Put anything on that. The fact that he gets away with this is just nonsense. 3 guys collapsing him and not a single one of them do ANYTHING to even make him have to readjust lol Just a completely free layup with THREE guys on him. Talk about NO DEFENSE.
Let's be clear Jordan retired three times twice because they couldn't fuck wit him then the third time was cause he found out he was old when he came back in the Early 2000s
😂😂😂😂...yep...you said it 😂😂😂...yall youngsters don't understand what we watched this man do this type of creativity on the fly every single night after night after night...
Jordan did things and has stats no one else does. The fact people want to compare James to Jordan makes me smile, having watched both. Jordan walked on air, James just a big body. Always was. After Jordan put on his mass, everyone took notice. He had aura that would control the games tempo. He didn't need to bounce around to multiple teams, no one did for that matter. They all had too much pride like real men should. Now dudes are zesty af wearing pearls.

Trip on how the man jumped so high he doesn’t do a layup he does a lay down😤🤫
😄
LeBron James better then Michael Jordan no like Mike said 2 three peats no game 7. 6 rings in the final no losts
WORD!! Lol!!!
@TedDay-q8t lol who did he play though? Best defenders are Craig Ehlo and an UNDERSIZED GP 😂😂

Mike paused at the top of his jump like he just remembered he left the garage door open.
And the stove on
It’s called slo motion😂
@@chikmnunget Hangtime Bro.
He did it on the regular back in the day.
He jumped and waited midair for the defender to drop.
@@WillPooleNYC Ja Morant has that same ability… it’s some 👽 type sht.
@@unclejunior2668 You’re right, I forgot about Ja. It’s definitely a rare ability.

He just jumped, like it was nothing like he was on the playground
There was no gather, hand checking was legal and depending on the team he might have caught an elbow on his way to the rim.
48 in vertical is insane
He was gonna dunk, but brad dougherty was there so he let his fellow tarheel live
Facts he was like you like we alumni
Michael the Merciful
Spot on bruh!!!😅😅
Spot on bruh😅😅!!
Exactly and Bd knew better than to try and jump, God bless all
You had to be there to understand

Appreciate
@@mathewmcfool best comment 😅
Fact or glued to a tv back then
It's nice, but the center pushed him up and gave him help to float like that. Plus, the defense was horrible
That cut back was DIABOLICAL
You guys donknow the word diabolical has been around a very long time

See that great defense, guy doesn't even jump
@@carokann4397looks like todays defense.. oh no our players just move out the way now lmao
Elevator operator:
"Which floor sir"

"Penthouse"
He paused at the penthouse then went to the roof!
@rodherro9711 Facts!
Even Fedex drivers aint this careful when dropping packages. Beautiful
This comment deserves more respect 😂😂
For real it would have been the craziest dunk. 😢
😂😂😂😂
As much as I love Bron .. I don’t think basketball will ever see another demigod like Michael Jeffery Jordan
Never!
LeRun wishes he was as good
LeBron is better!!!

That's why he was called Air Jordan 👍🏽😊
That cut back like he just spotted them boys 😂
😂😂😂
Somebody told me the other day “Jordan didn’t jump THAT high. His head never made it to the rim!” And I just laughed 😂😂😂
Also I told people Mike was the first to put his arm in rim not Vince! 88 dunk contest against my boy Nique!Look real close the 1hand up and under dunk him looking at the rim look real good! Tell me your thoughts💯
Whoever said that never watched a single game MJ played.
He hit his head on the backboard pretty badly in college
@EBuckNY Against Duke! To me Mike was the greatest shot blocking 2 guard in history Mike would throw your SHIT💯

Crazy how he could palm the ball.. thats insane to do that while jumpin, and being graceful.. he was somethin else.
Legendary player💪❤️💯💪❤️💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
Moving like a smoove leopard 💀
Black cat
His Jump was nearly Superhuman
Fantastic 💪🏽💯
He was skating on em
He was drifting on em
Nobody hit the SIKE like
NIKE Jordan MIKE 🏀
He was literally above the rim, Brad got spared gracefully😂
One of my favorite Jordan plays...🤔💯🏀💪🏾🏆🏆🏆 then🏆🏆🏆
"That goes there"😂😂😂
He just spun back around like he was doing sprints, flying past one of the leagues best defenders in Gerald Wilkins, cuts back as he blows by Hot Rod Williams and as jumps across the lane, still elevating, he finger rolls OVER Daugherty. Still dope AF
An average human being would get tired after that stride and jumping in the air with little effort. Probably huffing and puffing😂
He was one of the first with serious hops who could also shoot and dribbled (lotta work)❤
Dr. J
No off hand switch is crazy work 😂
This is just Art
One of a kind 💪🏿💥💥💥💥just smooooooth
Mike in the air like, "Ball goes (pause. Found it) here!" 😂😂😂
These NBA players palming the basketball while dribbling just runs me crazy
Looks like the defender help him out 😂😂
“And he was walkin ….in the AIR”😂
Damn he took a brutal punishment driving that lane.
that defense is damn near impenetrable this era could never survive this😂
Master at it’s finest 💯
Literally how that leopard was moving in that in one video in India 😂😂😂😂
That Man Jordan Was Playing Hella Bums Besides Anyone On The Dream Team 😂
That looked like a scene from Space Jam frfr😮😮😮
When your about to dunk it but it’s on your homie 😂
Damn start up sky dunk to drop finger roll is kinda cool😂😂
Slide cancelling in Basketball is Crazy 😂😂
He did a hop step and bunnies came calling 😮😮👀👀👀👀👀
That's because Jordan Loved the Game. He was obsessed with it, just as Kobe was
Mike the Merciful. Bro really could have ended it all. G.O.A.T.
He can get to basket any time he wanted😂
Literally, "Anytime"
He got lifted up a lil bit
And people act like players werent slow ass bums back then. Imagine guys like Morant or SGA with these defenders 😂😂😂😂😂 dunk fest everygame
On his North Carolina brethren Brad Daugherty.
The goat was moving so smooth as water..
MJ played like it was the Rec Center during open gym on a Friday Night! He just got loose on em
The center was like dam he can hop
The disrespect was crazy they way he just gently just dropped it in the hoop 😮
But they say the 90s was physical. Try that on Wembyama
"Ain't none of these 🥷🥷🥷 can jump." Ahh drive.
A mind like Jordan’s overcomes an environment from any timeframe.
That 90's tough defense 😂
CRAZY TRAVEL😂😂
He stood in the air

Center wake asf. Lmaoo
That type shxt a have you saying “wtf” in todays game 😅 🐐
He smooth with it
He stopped midair to decide between a dunk and layup and thought about what golf pants he will wear the following morning.
Like how can you watch this guy play and think anyone FROM TODAY could stop him from winning 😂 MJ is something else man 🔥
You mean mj facing players who can actually match his speed etc? Yeah he wouldnt do this great 😂😂😂😂
@ the difference with MJ is his personal physical abilities and his mental. You can just tell by watching him play he played hard af and was very skilled. Dude worked hard af.
@@escoayala376ok so does every other superstar no ppl aren’t going to stop him there’s a lot of player tho where they are just not able to be guarded but the center didn’t even jump with him also he just had a great team around him also he didn’t win anything until Scotty got there
His arm actually extended longer , he's an alien.
It's another video of Jordan on a fast brake and his arm extended again 😂😂😂😂😂
That slide was traveling. 🎉 FMJ!
He never stopped dribbling....your feet can do whatever as long as your dribbling
FLJ
You see the body control you see how he just switched and mid air that’s incredible.
Nice layup
Brons got the longevity because of all the new peptides and stuff they can put in his body , but in pure skill Jordan is still the goat.
This must be that "legendary" defense people talk about 😂
What makes Mj look so different in all these highlights is the intensity of the game back then. It wouldn’t look like that now. People where going at him hard and he was demolishing everything. I don’t think players like Luka or Jokic would look like that in that era but definitely players like LeBron or prime Rose would look crazy

From lateral to vertical is crazy
"Is it the shoes" NBA Jams voice
He laid that ball in the bucket so sweet
Damn nice layup
RIP Brad Daugherty 🙏🏼
This must be the hard defense they were talking about back then after they made rule changes for Jordan😂
Bro I done seen Bron do some shit, but this just different😮💨
😂😂😂😂...yep...you said it 😂😂😂...yall youngsters don't understand what we watched this man do this type of creativity on the fly every single night after night after night...
Yea having a center that put his hands up and never jump because you cant have contact on jordan the ref magnet
@@everydaydose7779 wtf that got to do with his head being above the rim looking inside it😂
I've seen Jebron Lames pouting on the bench during a loss never seen MJ do that so I guess he got one up on the goat 🐐🤣😅😢
I never seen bron did something like is 😂
Dude is the Goat!! I don’t care what anyone else says period!! 😮😅😂😂
Jordan's waist is over Daugherty's head!! Brad Daugherty is 7 feet tall!!
UNC Tarheel (Jordan) vs UNC Tarheel (Daugherty)! Love it!
Jordan was convinced that he could access any location on the court, so he worked on his shot relentlessly to become the greatest of all time.
Dats a love letta to d rim ❤
That’s just graceful ass movement man dam that shit so smooth smh
Hence the name AIR JORDAN
That's how a goat shows mercy could've dunked it, but naw, they've had enough for the night 😆
Mj had an insane impact on the NBA.. i dunno if anyone can match it. He changed the whole game.
Dude wasn't human
The defense didn’t even try to block it
It helps the defenders were just standing there watching not playing a lick of defense.
The direction change is the real highlight
You mean the palming/carry?
Nah he moving like a cat bruh 😂 #Goat
He could’ve dunk that 💩 if he wanted too
Jordan said! I"am going to drop it in the Basket for respect! 🫡🤯🔥......🤽....
Bruh just stood there lol
Those giant mitts gave him such an advantage,he had Shaq sized hands. You see them crooked ass fingers point at you,you know it was over.
Eye level wit the rim is crazy tho
MJ could defy gravity at will like none other .

Bad, reaching defense but don't get it twisted he could do that on ANYBODY, ANYTIME!😂🎉🎉
Almost half of Mikes body was over the rim, and he just hangs there.
