Maybe the Jazz would have had a championship or two if not for an NBA stocked with absurd levels of talent at the time (Bird, Magic, Jordan, Olajuwan). But neither can compare to Jordan.
MJ played defense just as well as he scored. He was a great passer as well as a shooter. He just didn't depend on three points shots to score like today's players. He had great handles too.

@@tonyclark1011 actually you might wanna look up the resume of both players. i wont even take into account team achievements like championships(so the 6-0 wont be thrown in your face here). just look at individual accomplishments. jordan accomplished SIGNIFICANTLY more than lebaum. and not just that, he did it in SIGNIFICANTLY fewer games. if you accomplish more than your peers in less time, you are superior to them. the gap is so huge that if you take ONLY the accolades that jordan got that lebaum didnt.....you'd have an AMAZING nba career. here's a comparison of just individual accolades(not championships or finals mvp, etc, just individual things): regular season mvp: jordan 6, lebaum 5 nba all-star jordan every season he played, lebaum every season he played all-star mvp both have 3(even when jordan played fewer seasons) scoring championships jordan 10, lebaum 1 defensive player of the year jordan 1, lebaum 0 seals leader jordan 3, lebaum 0 jordan had 2 seasons with over 200 steals and over 100 blocks. lebaum zero. if you take those differences and bestow them on a random player, he would instantly become a legend: 1 season mvp 9 scoring titles 1 defensive player of the year 3 steals leader 2 seasons with over 200 steals and over 100 blocks. that's quite impressive.
What makes him great, besides all the accomplishments, is he was making all these moves his whole career, as the comparison was shown towards the end of the video, and defenders still could not stop him. Everybody in the world knew, when it comes down to the end of the game, he's going to take the last shot and he still made 50% of them. Just like the announcer said, "Simply amazing!".
If I was building my all time great team, Magic MJ are my guards Lebron and Bird are my forwards and Jabar Shaq are my C's and my 6th man is Westbrook.
What you are using lady is the most accurate assessment of who is the better player...it's called the eye test. You don't understand why kids say LeBron is better, because your eyes are seeing something different.
What’s also amazing is that he only played 11 full seasons with the BULLS and accomplished incredible feats. Could only imagine if he never got hurt in 86 or never retired in 93 or 98. Just played like 20 seasons with the BULLS and no grandpa year and a half with the wizards. His numbers would’ve been astronomical!
Imagine what he could've done early in his career if the rest of the team didnt suck, in 86 when he got hurt he came back before the playoffs & put up 63 against the Celtics & lost, 150 in the 3 games they played & lost all 3
Jordan just didn't make sense. I had WGN and got to see every game. There was not one game... not one game, where I didn't shake my head and say no human is supposed to be able to do what he just did. He's an alien.
Ditto here in FL. Growing up WGN was standard on cable packages...everyone watched the Bulls games, and the next day in school everyone was like "Did you see what Jordan did last night!?!" You didn't want to miss any of his games. You don't see that nowadays...especially in the regular season.
Jordan would take the game over at will. A tenacious competitor (check out the stories about Bulls and Team USA practices). He won a Defensive Player of the Year, too.
Yep, not only the greatest scorer of all time but the greatest defender at the 2-guard ever. When people old enough to have watched Babe Ruth & Muhammad Ali but rank MJ as the #1 athlete of the 20th century, you can't argue with that.
@@fitzroymarcano4565Yall really believe this? Ok the team was super because of mj not lebron getting 2 of the top 10 players. Pippen wasn't a top 10 player until like his 9th or 10th year.

It was a point of pride for Mike to dunk on every center from every team. And he's short compared to the big men, he's ony a guard. The centers in the 90s were from 6' 11" to 7' 2"!!
I remember watching Michael Jordan doing these things as they were happening. You knew what was going to happen, yet you were still completely in awe of the sheer greatness that was on display. There was no TH-cam for people to watch highlights whenever they wanted. There was the live games and SportsCenter. That's it. People from all over the world were glued to their TVs when he played. THAT'S why I believe he became a global phenomenon like we've never seen since. Along with BILLIONS of other people, I wanted to be like Mike.
Great reaction senorita! And the only thing Bron does better than Black Jesus is flop and devise super-teams - that's it! I'm old enough and fortunate enough to have seen prime Jordan in person, and I have also seen prime Bron in person, and it's not even close. Jordan had the faster twitching muscles, superior bounce, hang-time, mid-air body control, footwork and he had the killer in serial mental. The only asses that think Bron is better are his fans and NBA role players (Kendrick Perkins, Ryan Hollins, Jay Williams, Al Harrington, JJ Redick). While real ballers (hall-of-famers) like Cousy, Baylor, West, Russell, Magic, Bird, McHale, Worthy, Shaq, Hakeem, Ewing, Mourning, Reggie Miller, Ray Allen, Iverson, Kobe, T-Mac, Payton, Garnett, Webber, Paul Pierce perceive MJ as the GOAT. Even today's best players like Leonard, Durant, Curry, Tatum, Doncic, Zion, Donovan Mitchell see Jordan as the greatest ever. Think about this for one second - four guys (Wade, Kyrie, Ray Allen, Anthony Davis) that have helped Bron win chips all think Jordan is the GOAT. One of Bron's best friends (Melo Anthony) also thinks Jordan is the GOAT. The masses have spoken and it's unanimous.
What you don't see is Michael leaving the game early bc he actually though he could win every game, or memes of MJ flopping, or MJ trying to copyright taco tuesday. Lebron is a great athlete no doubt but he's no MJ, less alone Bill Russell.
Another aspect of MJ's greatness - that is rarely seen in highlight videos - is how incredible he was defensively. He won the 1988 Defensive Player of the Year award while also being the Scoring Champion with 35 points per game - without missing a single game all year ! And that was in a league with *much* more physicality, where Jordan would regularly get pushed by defenders while going to the hoop ! Not to mention, hand-checking was still allowed, which lead to much lower average scoring - and a lot of bigger players used a lot of force while hand-checking smaller players to try to tire them out.
It's funny when she said "He said I don't care how tall you are" at the very same moment Jordan is spinning on all 5' 3" of Muggsy Bogues. What timing and truth (in the reverse way) lol
I got to see alot of great people like Muhammad Ali Michael jackson and seen a lot of life but Michael is the GOAT ever game he played was spectacular I've seen all the great basketball players and from college to the end of the bulls run he was just an artist. The GOAT
It really is unfair to LeBron. LeBron is amazing. Michael Jordan is a once in a millennium player. I truly believe we will never see an athlete as amazing as Jordan.
That fadeaway he does on the baseline at the beginning of the video is one that always amazes me, he had to put it a half of an inch away from hitting the side of the back board to make that shot, and he did
The best part about MJ's game is, even though these are highlights, you was doing this on a regular basis every night. Look st his face in most of these clips. He's just out there having fun making it look easy while making his opponents look stupid.
It’s a pleasure to enjoy basketball fans appreciate, and understand the undeniable proof that MJ has been, and still is in a class by himself. He is the Real G.O.A.T.
I grew up watching Jordan and he's still the best ........... PERIOD. So what you're saying is tru. Some of the younger generations don't want no body to take nothin from bron . Bron is a good player but not better than Jordan and to me Kobe is better than bron..... So I take my hat off to you for seeing the truth and telling the truth regardless of what your peers may say or think about you and Jordan. So ........ Thank You For this Video. I have liked and Subscribed to your Video. Much Love, Stay Safe and Stay Strong 💪1🔥🔥
Jordan was so great dat he kept reinventing the game too higher level its jus mind blowing watching him do his thing the one an onlii greatest ever no comp.
I don’t know how anyone could say Lebron is the best ever, he ain’t clutch like MJ, Bird and Magic. Without that clutch gene you ain’t even in the conversation
You're right. But for some, the history of BB starts in 2003, greatness they did not witness can never be great enough. Youth and ignorance go hand in hand ..
The only people that believe Lebron is better than Jordan are those that haven't really seen MJ play. They've seen maybe a few highlights, but that is about it.
75% of all NBA players polled by the Athletic said they think Jordan is the GOAT. Great video, and I love your reactions, Phonso. Seeing it live was just as amazing.
Centers back then were 6’11 to 7’2. Forwards 6”8 to 6’10 It is very nice to see a young person who can recognize *special* greatness even when it is not from their era!
MJ will always be known as " Air Jordan" nothing is doctored that's just how he was, the man could fly. Mike was one with the basketball almost a magician. I can't speak ill of LeBron it's a different era. But when MJ played there was a lot of contact and the players left the game with knots on their heads.
Great Reaction! Keep in mind when Jordan played the defenders could mug you, teams were built around physically imposing their will....Jordan might have 1 maybe 2 more rings if the rules were what they are today....
2 more rings? In today's NBA where they don't even challenge you when you go into the paint, the Bulls of Jordan's era would've ransacked the league 10 times easy.
Centers back in the 80s , 90s and before were 7 footers . For the most part they were big too. Olajuwon and David Robinson changed how centers played , along with Alonzo Mourning , and Patrick Ewing. Shaq was a one of those big dominating centers that also had athleticism, power, agility and quickness to go along with his 300 plus pound frame.
Fact : after the death of his dad Michael quit in basketball for 2yrs (2 season) and all of the superstars (barkley magic j etc) begging him to come back. And even the president at that time bill Clinton once said " I will make 10,000 jobs but if Jordan comes back to Chicago I'll make it 100,000 jobs " that's how big mj's impact on the court. You can see that in mj's true story.
Great reaction! To answer your question, those who think LeBron is better than MJ most likely didn't watch both of them a lot during their eras so they don't know better. LeBron imho is the GOAT runner-up, but there's a pretty significant gap. And FYI, the big men MJ dunked on back then were generally all 6'11" to 7'1" - although one of them he dunked on was 7'7" Manute Bol, shown in this video. MJ at 6'6" had good height for a shooting guard, but was certainly not tall. Average NBA height back then was 6'8" (nowadays it's between 6'6" & 6'7", with big men being de-emphasized compared to back then).
5:02 'If you think Lebron is better than him, comment down below. And then just get off my stuff, bro.' This comment alone makes this the greatest reaction video to the Bulls Historic Mixtape that I've seen so far. You honestly should use that clip as your intro, somehow. That...was GODLIKE. Great reaction video, Tristan! Keep 'em coming!
I grew up watching these games live. MJ Is the GOAT. 6 name finals. Never a game 7. One 3 peat. Them retired came back wearing 45. And won 3more. in a row. Once he got 1 alstar scottie pippen he never lost an NBA finals. And the game back then was more hands on. Man MJ is the 🐐. They say Kobe wanted to be like Mike. But Kobe only wanted to be greatness and mj was great ess
Jordan was just a different level of great man. No way to describe to young Lebron fans. You had to see him doing that shit live to understand how great. He WOW'd every game and did new shit he never did before. Dude is the GOAT and it shouldn't be a debate.
Jordan beyond just G.O.A.T level , he's the human life form "Cheat Code" of the NBA he's beyond just another NBA great or greatest player , Jordan reg. season game play level was like a must win game 7 Championship level , these highlights happened throughout his game night or day of playing in a game , you can't tell sometimes his regular season games highlights from his Championship game highlights even though he takes to another level in Playoffs & Championships , his whole time on the court is of many Unbelievable Highlights, ppl used to stop whatever they were doing to watch a Jordan game , because of the constant multiple of Super Human like play on Both ends of the court Offense & Defense Crazy Highlights and more Crazy Highlights in one a 1 single at a time alone each night or day he plays !
Forget basketball Jordan is the greatest athlete of all time nobody compares...he got a 3peat and retired then he came back and did it again...and NEVER lost in the finals .
For the young ins, you will never win this argument ever! One rule that some people dont bring up, is that 3 in the key didnt exist in the Jordan era. FIGHTS were more likely back then too. So imagine, MJ had to literally burry his opponents dreams of beating him every single night. 72-10 for one season? What? This man was a rock star of the imaginable if you werent around to see it. He truly was a man amongst boys. Its incredible, he never stopped going he just stopped because he wanted to. All while everyone wanted to be the team to beat him and was literally saying it every where. He was being called out everyday man, im done lol
Jordan is on another level. Lebron is great but Jordan is the greatest and it's not close.

if you accomplish more than your peers in less time, you are superior to them.
the gap is so huge that if you take ONLY the accolades that jordan got that lebaum didnt.....you'd have an AMAZING nba career.
here's a comparison of just individual accolades(not championships or finals mvp, etc, just individual things):
regular season mvp:
jordan 6, lebaum 5
nba all-star
jordan every season he played, lebaum every season he played
all-star mvp
both have 3(even when jordan played fewer seasons)
scoring championships
jordan 10, lebaum 1
defensive player of the year
jordan 1, lebaum 0
seals leader
jordan 3, lebaum 0
jordan had 2 seasons with over 200 steals and over 100 blocks. lebaum zero.
if you take those differences and bestow them on a random player, he would instantly become a legend:
1 season mvp
9 scoring titles
1 defensive player of the year
3 steals leader
2 seasons with over 200 steals and over 100 blocks.
that's quite impressive.
Keep in mind, he played at this high ass level all 82 games, for 9 seasons!
What makes him great, besides all the accomplishments, is he was making all these moves his whole career, as the comparison was shown towards the end of the video, and defenders still could not stop him. Everybody in the world knew, when it comes down to the end of the game, he's going to take the last shot and he still made 50% of them. Just like the announcer said, "Simply amazing!".
Yeah…6’6” with a 48” vertical. Dunkin’ on 7 footers like they were children!!
For those bad at math 48 inch vertical translates to 4 feet. So he can essentially dunk at 10 ft +.
@@sazonswaggreviews4449 yeah…the man can jump on a vertical and touch the rim with his nose. Insane.
I'm 37, and I'm a Lebron fan since he was 16 years old, in my opinion Lebron is a Top 5. MJ is the GOAT.
If I was building my all time great team, Magic MJ are my guards Lebron and Bird are my forwards and Jabar Shaq are my C's and my 6th man is Westbrook.
@@tric5122 great team. My team will be, MJ, Kobe, Lebron, T-Mac, Garnett, Shaq and Iverson.
@@vc2368 so many great players you can hardly go wrong :)
You were raised right😊
What you are using lady is the most accurate assessment of who is the better player...it's called the eye test. You don't understand why kids say LeBron is better, because your eyes are seeing something different.
What’s also amazing is that he only played 11 full seasons with the BULLS and accomplished incredible feats. Could only imagine if he never got hurt in 86 or never retired in 93 or 98. Just played like 20 seasons with the BULLS and no grandpa year and a half with the wizards. His numbers would’ve been astronomical!
💯 Facts!
Imagine what he could've done early in his career if the rest of the team didnt suck, in 86 when he got hurt he came back before the playoffs & put up 63 against the Celtics & lost, 150 in the 3 games they played & lost all 3
Jordan just didn't make sense. I had WGN and got to see every game. There was not one game... not one game, where I didn't shake my head and say no human is supposed to be able to do what he just did. He's an alien.
Ditto here in FL. Growing up WGN was standard on cable packages...everyone watched the Bulls games, and the next day in school everyone was like "Did you see what Jordan did last night!?!" You didn't want to miss any of his games. You don't see that nowadays...especially in the regular season.
Same
MJ was the reason i got into watching the nba. I didn’t care about my home team, I just wanted to see what MJ was going to do that night.
Jordan would take the game over at will. A tenacious competitor (check out the stories about Bulls and Team USA practices). He won a Defensive Player of the Year, too.
Yep, not only the greatest scorer of all time but the greatest defender at the 2-guard ever. When people old enough to have watched Babe Ruth & Muhammad Ali but rank MJ as the #1 athlete of the 20th century, you can't argue with that.
Michael Jordan is GOAT.. fact: he never had super team.
I'd like to throw a guy named larry legend into the mix.
@@deancafe4739 Not like mj bird was great nobody was playing like mj period
@@lilmik551 nnoooobody!
truth be told MJ did have a super team ... it was built around him over the years
@@fitzroymarcano4565Yall really believe this? Ok the team was super because of mj not lebron getting 2 of the top 10 players. Pippen wasn't a top 10 player until like his 9th or 10th year. Yall act like mj was never a underdog, that supersonics team was favored cuz they had like 4 all stars to the bulls 2 but yall act like mj was the only nba player, n playing against ymca players, that's disrespectful to the NBA and basketball. Mj is the greatest he prevented hof players from getting rings cuz he got em all who else did that cuz lebrons opps got 6 lmaoo mj's got 0
It was a point of pride for Mike to dunk on every center from every team. And he's short compared to the big men, he's ony a guard. The centers in the 90s were from 6' 11" to 7' 2"!!
Most definitely would want him to shoot the last shot in ANY game. 90% of the time he would make them.
I remember watching Michael Jordan doing these things as they were happening. You knew what was going to happen, yet you were still completely in awe of the sheer greatness that was on display. There was no TH-cam for people to watch highlights whenever they wanted. There was the live games and SportsCenter. That's it. People from all over the world were glued to their TVs when he played. THAT'S why I believe he became a global phenomenon like we've never seen since. Along with BILLIONS of other people, I wanted to be like Mike.
In Spain for example, where soccer is the king of sports, 90% of the children did not watch soccer, myself included...Jordan is God
I'm not saying we need a repeat of "malice at the palace" but I would like to see the league regain some of its toughness
Absolutely. Refs sometimes gotta let the guys play, and the flopping. My god the flopping gotta stop.
Great reaction senorita! And the only thing Bron does better than Black Jesus is flop and devise super-teams - that's it! I'm old enough and fortunate enough to have seen prime Jordan in person, and I have also seen prime Bron in person, and it's not even close. Jordan had the faster twitching muscles, superior bounce, hang-time, mid-air body control, footwork and he had the killer in serial mental. The only asses that think Bron is better are his fans and NBA role players (Kendrick Perkins, Ryan Hollins, Jay Williams, Al Harrington, JJ Redick). While real ballers (hall-of-famers) like Cousy, Baylor, West, Russell, Magic, Bird, McHale, Worthy, Shaq, Hakeem, Ewing, Mourning, Reggie Miller, Ray Allen, Iverson, Kobe, T-Mac, Payton, Garnett, Webber, Paul Pierce perceive MJ as the GOAT. Even today's best players like Leonard, Durant, Curry, Tatum, Doncic, Zion, Donovan Mitchell see Jordan as the greatest ever. Think about this for one second - four guys (Wade, Kyrie, Ray Allen, Anthony Davis) that have helped Bron win chips all think Jordan is the GOAT. One of Bron's best friends (Melo Anthony) also thinks Jordan is the GOAT. The masses have spoken and it's unanimous.
If you want to be saved, Michael Jordan shoots the "live or die" shot👑🐐💯
8:03 he switched hands because he though Perkins was going to jump.
I heard him say that.
Jordans the GOAT
What you don't see is Michael leaving the game early bc he actually though he could win every game, or memes of MJ flopping, or MJ trying to copyright taco tuesday. Lebron is a great athlete no doubt but he's no MJ, less alone Bill Russell.
LeBron doesn't belong in the same sentence as a player or competitor.
Jordan has the best footwork of any player I've seen.
"LeBron ain't doin none of this. Nobody, actually..."
☝🏽Exactly.
MJ The GOAT 🐐
6x Champ 2x 3 Repeat
MJ was playing against Legit 7 Footers. LeBron is 6'8 and there isn't any real 7ft players in the NBA now. And he doesn't Dunk on anyone like MJ
Another aspect of MJ's greatness - that is rarely seen in highlight videos - is how incredible he was defensively. He won the 1988 Defensive Player of the Year award while also being the Scoring Champion with 35 points per game - without missing a single game all year ! And that was in a league with *much* more physicality, where Jordan would regularly get pushed by defenders while going to the hoop ! Not to mention, hand-checking was still allowed, which lead to much lower average scoring - and a lot of bigger players used a lot of force while hand-checking smaller players to try to tire them out.
It's funny when she said "He said I don't care how tall you are" at the very same moment Jordan is spinning on all 5' 3" of Muggsy Bogues.
What timing and truth (in the reverse way) lol
I got to see alot of great people like Muhammad Ali Michael jackson and seen a lot of life but Michael is the GOAT ever game he played was spectacular I've seen all the great basketball players and from college to the end of the bulls run he was just an artist. The GOAT
It really is unfair to LeBron. LeBron is amazing. Michael Jordan is a once in a millennium player. I truly believe we will never see an athlete as amazing as Jordan.
That fadeaway he does on the baseline at the beginning of the video is one that always amazes me, he had to put it a half of an inch away from hitting the side of the back board to make that shot, and he did
All these clips are from a time when the game had style and passion. Personafide in MJ the most! What a savage player he was.
Lebron 6'9 250 vs Micheal 6'6 190
Imagine Jordan stats if he didn't go to college or retire during his prime.
Buddy Jordan was around 218 lbs.. He may've been 190lbs. when coming out of college but he added muscle..
Good to see young people give all eras of basketball a chance
A combination of talent and heart that the sports world has never seen before or since.
The big men from the Jordan ERA were usually between 6'10 up to 7'8
at 12:15 he only switched it to his left hand as a preventative measure against a hard foul or a block. he wanted to make sure he got the bucket! 😉
Jordan is best period!!
A 15 minute Highlight Reel doesn't really do MJ justice. He played like that every night! He even played sick as a dog.
This video doesn't even show any of his Dunk contest slams. A contest in which LeBron never entered in his career.
That’s irrelevant to this. A dunk contest isn’t worth anything of substance in a goat argument.
@@TheIcemanthomas I disagree. That's like a rapper calling himself the greatest emcee of all time and then being to scared to get in a Cypher.
Who cares😭😭😭
@@BigGThaCapitalOne obviously you do. So much that you had to leave a comment.
@@rondelltefrazier3557 Nall I’m jus saying y’all act like that’s jus a big deal
MJ23 is the real ultimate GOAT 💯 ever ♥️
I loved it when MJ would dunk in the missed free throws
The best part about MJ's game is, even though these are highlights, you was doing this on a regular basis every night. Look st his face in most of these clips. He's just out there having fun making it look easy while making his opponents look stupid.
MJ Jumped over the Mount Rushmore if basketball whoever those four guys are is seeing the bottom of Air Jordan
He was at par or almost equal to the level Bruce Lee obtained in the Martial Arts.
And water he was.
Same cause jordan was god on the court
@@ericsinibaldi65 Even Larry Bird said it, hell you can see it no one else moves like that.
Jordan's sheer speed and vertical are crazy asf.
@@sean70729 true true
It’s a pleasure to enjoy basketball fans appreciate, and understand the undeniable proof that MJ has been, and still is in a class by himself. He is the Real G.O.A.T.
I grew up watching Jordan and he's still the best ........... PERIOD. So what you're saying is tru. Some of the younger generations don't want no body to take nothin from bron . Bron is a good player but not better than Jordan and to me Kobe is better than bron..... So I take my hat off to you for seeing the truth and telling the truth regardless of what your peers may say or think about you and Jordan. So ........ Thank You For this Video. I have liked and Subscribed to your Video. Much Love, Stay Safe and Stay Strong 💪1🔥🔥
Jordan was so great dat he kept reinventing the game too higher level its jus mind blowing watching him do his thing the one an onlii greatest ever no comp.
Michael Jordan is The G.O.A.T. EVER. !!!
Lebron is a great player but Jordan is THE GREATEST EVER !
Jordan is on A High Level !
A Fan From France !
I don’t know how anyone could say Lebron is the best ever, he ain’t clutch like MJ, Bird and Magic. Without that clutch gene you ain’t even in the conversation
You're right.
But for some, the history of BB starts in 2003, greatness they did not witness can never be great enough.
Youth and ignorance go hand in hand ..
LeHype was out of the conversation in 2010.
The only people that believe Lebron is better than Jordan are those that haven't really seen MJ play. They've seen maybe a few highlights, but that is about it.
You see that last shot that was poetry that's the difference between the two of them he always will be a winner
jordan is truly the goat,lebron is not even close......just keep dreamin lebron james....
75% of all NBA players polled by the Athletic said they think Jordan is the GOAT. Great video, and I love your reactions, Phonso. Seeing it live was just as amazing.
MJ definitely built different.. no truer words have ever been spoken.
Centers back then were 6’11 to 7’2. Forwards 6”8 to 6’10
It is very nice to see a young person who can recognize *special* greatness even when it is not from their era!
I love when Jordan be coming sideways at the rim. That's hard
MJ ALL DAY. THEY BROKE THE MOLD AFTER MJ. THE REAL # 23 THE REAL G.O.A.T.!!!!
MJ will always be known as " Air Jordan" nothing is doctored that's just how he was, the man could fly. Mike was one with the basketball almost a magician. I can't speak ill of LeBron it's a different era. But when MJ played there was a lot of contact and the players left the game with knots on their heads.
Great Reaction! Keep in mind when Jordan played the defenders could mug you, teams were built around physically imposing their will....Jordan might have 1 maybe 2 more rings if the rules were what they are today....
2 more rings? In today's NBA where they don't even challenge you when you go into the paint, the Bulls of Jordan's era would've ransacked the league 10 times easy.
MJ is the true definition of a living legend. 🦄
Most hater don't look at who he played against, 80-90% are Hall of Famers real good players at their time!
Michael Jordan is the GOAT Leflop is not even close
Now you know how good MJ is....
Yeahhh Mike
Centers back in the 80s , 90s and before were 7 footers . For the most part they were big too. Olajuwon and David Robinson changed how centers played , along with Alonzo Mourning , and Patrick Ewing. Shaq was a one of those big dominating centers that also had athleticism, power, agility and quickness to go along with his 300 plus pound frame.
Michael jordan is the goat, the best that ever did it.
Jorden is the goat ever.....
I have seen these videos and I remixes so many times and I never get tired of them
His first step is killer!!!
Fact : after the death of his dad Michael quit in basketball for 2yrs (2 season) and all of the superstars (barkley magic j etc) begging him to come back. And even the president at that time bill Clinton once said " I will make 10,000 jobs but if Jordan comes back to Chicago I'll make it 100,000 jobs " that's how big mj's impact on the court. You can see that in mj's true story.
Switch eras and Michael would be still the goat!!! Can’t say that about Lebron….
Props young lady for showing the one and only Goat. A basketball God
Great reaction! To answer your question, those who think LeBron is better than MJ most likely didn't watch both of them a lot during their eras so they don't know better. LeBron imho is the GOAT runner-up, but there's a pretty significant gap.
And FYI, the big men MJ dunked on back then were generally all 6'11" to 7'1" - although one of them he dunked on was 7'7" Manute Bol, shown in this video. MJ at 6'6" had good height for a shooting guard, but was certainly not tall. Average NBA height back then was 6'8" (nowadays it's between 6'6" & 6'7", with big men being de-emphasized compared to back then).
5:02 'If you think Lebron is better than him, comment down below. And then just get off my stuff, bro.'
This comment alone makes this the greatest reaction video to the Bulls Historic Mixtape that I've seen so far. You honestly should use that clip as your intro, somehow. That...was GODLIKE.
Great reaction video, Tristan! Keep 'em coming!
I grew up watching these games live. MJ Is the GOAT. 6 name finals. Never a game 7. One 3 peat. Them retired came back wearing 45. And won 3more. in a row. Once he got 1 alstar scottie pippen he never lost an NBA finals. And the game back then was more hands on. Man MJ is the 🐐. They say Kobe wanted to be like Mike. But Kobe only wanted to be greatness and mj was great ess
Jordan was just a different level of great man. No way to describe to young Lebron fans. You had to see him doing that shit live to understand how great. He WOW'd every game and did new shit he never did before. Dude is the GOAT and it shouldn't be a debate.
Jordan beyond just G.O.A.T level , he's the human life form "Cheat Code" of the NBA he's beyond just another NBA great or greatest player , Jordan reg. season game play level was like a must win game 7 Championship level , these highlights happened throughout his game night or day of playing in a game , you can't tell sometimes his regular season games highlights from his Championship game highlights even though he takes to another level in Playoffs & Championships , his whole time on the court is of many Unbelievable Highlights, ppl used to stop whatever they were doing to watch a Jordan game , because of the constant multiple of Super Human like play on Both ends of the court Offense & Defense Crazy Highlights and more Crazy Highlights in one a 1 single at a time alone each night or day he plays !
I grew up watching MJ in early 90's and it was such a privilege. Today's game is soft compared to the 90's.
Jordan is way up there, then Kobe 🙏
This young lady knows what she is talking about.
Forget basketball Jordan is the greatest athlete of all time nobody compares...he got a 3peat and retired then he came back and did it again...and NEVER lost in the finals .
Air Jordan came to the NBA and changed the game he was playing on another level greatest of all time.
And what is more important is Jordan is doing this to some of greatest defenders in the history of the NBA
For the young ins, you will never win this argument ever! One rule that some people dont bring up, is that 3 in the key didnt exist in the Jordan era. FIGHTS were more likely back then too. So imagine, MJ had to literally burry his opponents dreams of beating him every single night. 72-10 for one season? What? This man was a rock star of the imaginable if you werent around to see it. He truly was a man amongst boys. Its incredible, he never stopped going he just stopped because he wanted to. All while everyone wanted to be the team to beat him and was literally saying it every where. He was being called out everyday man, im done lol
@4:37 - YEAH, HE DID THAT! I remember watching that very game when he did that!
Jordan the legendary killer and the best of the best
