Jordan was tough as nails, never gave up, never took a break on defence “managing his energy”, never flopped, played through hard contact, could not be stopped other than by age. LeBron loses his nerves, Flops in a time where defenders literally can’t touch you. A LeBron in the 80/90s would probably perform similar to a Karl Malone or Charles Barkley, a superstar for sure but not on MJs level.
I say the same shit. He'd be another Karl Malone Ewing Wilkins Barkley without a ring. Jordan played in a super loaded East. Game 7's only happened in the ECF'S.
I can't upvote this enough. LeBron is great in the same way Karl Malone was great. Their stats are pretty similar, with Malone getting more rebounds and LeBron getting more assists. 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.

i dont know if "forever will be". my hope is that eventually someone even better comes along. and then someone better....but the player to take his throne hasnt made it to the nba yet. i dont know when/if that will happen.
@@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.
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"!!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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

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🔥🔥
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 !
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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 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 ..
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! 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).
Thank you For being a young lady who never seen Jordan live only clips seeing leebone's and all his BUILT TEAMS cannot compare to JORDAN or KOBE BEAN he aint no killa!
I was born in 1985 so I was fortunate to see Jordan on TV almost every night from the time I was 6 to 13 unfortunately I was so young I kind of missed his 1st 5 years in the league But I still consider myself very fortunate to have grown up and seen and sing the nineties bowls dynasties And I say dynasty's because both 3 peats were different teams, Is 1st round had BJ Armstrong Horace Grant John Paxon, A much quicker and athletic team the 2nd 3Peat had Rodman, kukoc, The 2nd team had a much higher basketball IQ basketball IQ and that's why Jordan and Pippin were able to stay on top of the league their skills had diminished slightly but there IQ Kept them on top is such a great era in basketball history and basketball history
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.

Jordan was a 10 time league scoring champ, and one of the best defenders year in and year out. He was more dominant than anyone outside of maybe bill Russell
Keep in mind, he played at this high ass level all 82 games, for 9 seasons!
Jordan was, is and forever will be the GOAT.
i dont know if "forever will be". my hope is that eventually someone even better comes along. and then someone better....but the player to take his throne hasnt made it to the nba yet. i dont know when/if that will happen.
Bullshit its the 6'9 265lb freight train lebron James his resume takes back seat to noone including old ass micheal Jordan
@@tonyclark1011 Without his size he is nothing. Lebron just plain sucks.
@@satinbarbi HIS WIFE AND KIDS WOULD DISAGREE
@@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.
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"!!
Jordans the GOAT. PERIOD
Larry Legend.
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
8:03 he switched hands because he though Perkins was going to jump.
I heard him say that.
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.
Most definitely would want him to shoot the last shot in ANY game. 90% of the time he would make them.
During the 80’s and 90’s MJ was like Michael Jackson. Maybe America’s greatest athlete. You will never hear anyone say this about
Lebron or Kobe.
Shit was crazy, there would be mobs outside just to possibly get a peak at Jordan
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.
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
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😊
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
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.
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
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.
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
If you want to be saved, Michael Jordan shoots the "live or die" shot👑🐐💯
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.
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! 😉
A combination of talent and heart that the sports world has never seen before or since.
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.

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 has the best footwork of any player I've seen.
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.
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.
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.
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.
LeBron doesn't belong in the same sentence as a player or competitor.
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.
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 !
MJ definitely built different.. no truer words have ever been spoken.
The big men from the Jordan ERA were usually between 6'10 up to 7'8
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
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.
Good to see young people give all eras of basketball a chance
I loved it when MJ would dunk in the missed free throws
MJ The GOAT 🐐
6x Champ 2x 3 Repeat
You see that last shot that was poetry that's the difference between the two of them he always will be a winner
@4:37 - YEAH, HE DID THAT! I remember watching that very game when he did that!
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. 🦄
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 love when Jordan be coming sideways at the rim. That's hard
Yeahhh Mike
"LeBron ain't doin none of this. Nobody, actually..."
☝🏽Exactly.
MJ Jumped over the Mount Rushmore if basketball whoever those four guys are is seeing the bottom of Air Jordan
A 15 minute Highlight Reel doesn't really do MJ justice. He played like that every night! He even played sick as a dog.
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.
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.
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..
MJ23 is the real ultimate GOAT 💯 ever ♥️
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 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
Michael jordan is the goat, the best that ever did it.
I have seen these videos and I remixes so many times and I never get tired of them
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 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.
Props young lady for showing the one and only Goat. A basketball God
MJ ALL DAY. THEY BROKE THE MOLD AFTER MJ. THE REAL # 23 THE REAL G.O.A.T.!!!!
His first step is killer!!!
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
Aint nobody better then the goat🐐 love MIKE💨💯💕
Jordan is best period!!
Jordan the legendary killer and the best of the best
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.
Now you know how good MJ is....
I love that slam he did on Alonzo.
Most hater don't look at who he played against, 80-90% are Hall of Famers real good players at their time!
if jordan playing in this cupcake era like shaq describe this era,beleive me jordan is wearing rings in the fingers of his feet
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).
"Two thumbs up" 🔥💯
Thank you For being a young lady who never seen Jordan live only clips
seeing leebone's and all his BUILT TEAMS cannot compare to JORDAN or KOBE BEAN he aint no killa!
I was born in 1985 so I was fortunate to see Jordan on TV almost every night from the time I was 6 to 13 unfortunately I was so young I kind of missed his 1st 5 years in the league But I still consider myself very fortunate to have grown up and seen and sing the nineties bowls dynasties And I say dynasty's because both 3 peats were different teams, Is 1st round had BJ Armstrong Horace Grant John Paxon, A much quicker and athletic team the 2nd 3Peat had Rodman, kukoc, The 2nd team had a much higher basketball IQ basketball IQ and that's why Jordan and Pippin were able to stay on top of the league their skills had diminished slightly but there IQ Kept them on top is such a great era in basketball history and basketball history
Air Jordan came to the NBA and changed the game he was playing on another level greatest of all time.
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.
6 Championships
6 mvps in thise finals
2 Threepeats ( what if he played those two years he took off )
No game 7s
N’uff Said!
I felt so bad when she said, “ I wanna dunk so bad” lol. I know dat feeln. Me too. No cap
This young lady knows what she is talking about.
And what is more important is Jordan is doing this to some of greatest defenders in the history of the NBA
Jordan the 🐐...
