I agree but go watch Gretszky play and you'll have think about for a minute then obviously pick The Black Cat - But Gretszky is really the only comparison as far dominance
Some of these highlights are approaching 40 years old and they still look like they're from the future. People say MJ wouldn't dominate now when Kawhi Leonard led a team to a championship a few years ago. Kawhi is great but he's diet MJ.
@domcirkat I wouldn't call LeBron a bum like alot of these clowns but respectfully, he'll never hold up to Jordan. Hell, I'd put kobe ahead of LeBron.
Its not insane at all. The things Jordan was doing were absurd. Take the most athletic guy today and have him try those violent, truly ferociously violent, stops or changes of direction whilst going full throttle and they'd get their knees damaged. To combine that with the ability to jump stop or even jump backwards with complete balance and body control and bury a jumpshot is beyond absurd. And thats just one of his traits. Tens of Jordanoids have entered the league since, but nobody could come close to the full package because the full package is insane.
I love how the music is suited to each period of Jordan’s career, 1984-1990 is fast paced, exciting, makes your heart race, as that’s what it was like to watch Jordan at that time full of youth, energy and excitement. 1991-1993 sounds commanding and dominant, like something a Rock N’ Roll King would walk out to complementing Jordan in this Period, the perfect mix of talent, energy and experience something the younger Jordan obviously lacked, Jordan at the absolute peak of his abilities. And finally we have the 1995-1998 theme sounding almost like a religious anthem , thematic, classical but still as loud and dominant as ever, showing how Jordan’s legacy has now risen to an almost myth-like status even while he’s still playing, a literal living legend.
He can do everything.... From def to offense.... Blocking, stealing, passing, dribbling, dunking, 3 point shooting, ankle breaking, post moves, fade away, fast breaks, footwork, athleticism and etc.... Man, he is incredible
Everything about Jordan was just so cool. The way he played, the athleticism, his looks, demeanor, movements, shooting form, the huge hands.. Even his career arc was perfect--drafted to a terrible team, advanced further in the playoffs each year, ultimately built his team to the greatest dynasty the league has seen, then left with the final game winning shot. That's why he is so beloved.
First, he played 2 more years after that shot. 2nd pippen left so he quit instead of definitely losing but at least trying to defend the title and going for a 4th straight ring. 3rd that’s not quite how his career arc went, at all.. 1st year 38-44 1-3 in playoffs 2nd year 30- 52 0-3 in playoffs 3 rd year 40-42 again swept in first round. 3 first round losses and little improvement until they drafted pippen really high in the draft and Horace, and built a good deep team with them off the bench. 4th year 50 wins lost 2nd round 2-3 5th year 47 6th 55 And from there they did keep improving until they were the only dynasty/super team in the league and dominated lesser talented teams. Jordan is one of the best, no denying that And 4th you should look into the bill russell John Havlicek etc dynasty.. untouched.. league truly never saw anything like it and never will again Have a good one
@@jaredfullmer5104 uh, yeah... we know all that. Jordan's the GOAT for many, many, *many* reasons. What you said isn't even close to a refutation of his position as the GOAT. Guess what - all the analysts and ex players that have him as the GOAT (75%+ of the population has him as the GOAT, Lebron tends to be 2nd with 13% of the vote, then a pretty good drop off after that) - they're all perfectly aware of everything you said. The analysts at ESPN and the Athletic who put together the top 75 greatest players of all time with Jordan at #1 - they're all aware of everything you said. You said it as though it was somehow an argument against him as the GOAT lol, as if it was some secret knowledge you have which allows you to uniquely understand his *true* place in history further down the list. I had to point out the folly of that thinking. The vast majority of knowledgeable NBA fans (fans, professional analysts, players or ex players, etc) who have him as the GOAT are perfectly aware of everything you said. It just doesn't make a dent in his GOAT case when you look at his entire body of work (individual accolades, skillset, team success, etc.).
@@jaredfullmer5104 First, he did play 2 more years after that shot but not immediately. It was about 2 years later, after when he came out of retirement to play for the Wizards. 2nd. Jordan retired not because of Pippen but more because it was Phil Jacksons last year of coaching because they was not gonna renew his contract to coach more years and Jordan had said he didn't want to play for another coach. So when they gave Phil the axe, Jordan retired and probably the reason Pippen left as well and any other good players as they knew the team was too broken up to win, because of the stupid feud with Jerry Krause because of a power struggle.. Now without Phil coaching and no Jordan or Pippen, etc. Jerry Krause would be the one to be blamed after they sucked so bad after their last championship and rightfully so. Otherwise they could of won even more championships. 3rd. The career arc was not perfect until they finally got Phil Jackson to coach and had Ted Winters "triangle offense" then they kept improving like you said and got better players along the way until they finally won. And also Jordan didn't jump around from team to team of possible contenders just so he could win a championship easier. He stayed loyal and remained with his team throughout. 4th. There was a couple good dynasty's back then like Celtics and Lakers, etc. but you have to understand back then there was only about 11 teams as opposed to like 32 today, so winning in a row would not be as hard when you have a pretty good team put together. Have a good one, it's all good and a happy 4th of July!!! 🎆🎇😎
He's the most all-around athletic player ever, the best offensive player ever, the best defensive guard ever, the most all-around skilled player ever, the best player ever mentally, the most clutch player ever, arguably the best leader ever, the most competitive player ever and the best player ever statistically. Oh, and he played in the toughest and most competitive era ever and looked by far the best doing it. The guy is in a complete class of his own.
Agree, his athletic ability was so insane, he was so great that people forget that he has the highest vertical jump in nba history with 48, he was so explosive in his younger years that no one can ever be until now, even in his prime at 1990-1993,
His peak athleticism was the first 3-peat. The skinnier Jordan just appears more athletic to the untrained eye. To be more specific, peak-peak athletic ability Jordan was his 3rd championship season in the finals and no he didn’t fade at the end of the season because of the grueling stretch. He was a machine energized bunny with insane genetics who could progress at everything without fatigue causing him to stagnate or plateau. His trainer talks about this in his book. His 48” vertical was at this time. His trainer started working with him before the first championship season and took his vertical from 42” to 48” by the time the ‘93 finals arrived. Mentally he needed a break after this and not just cause his Father was murdered because he gave Stern fair warning before that tragic event but that was definitely the straw that broke the camel’s back.
@@encartasandiego4939 He was stronger and wiser in the 90’s but he didn’t dunk like in the 80‘s anymore. Just watch his games. He was at his peak of his game in the 90’s but not of his athleticism’s.
I think what The Last Dance did for me is reaffirm and strengthen MJ’s status as truly the greatest player in basketball history and perhaps the greatest sports figure of all-time 🐐
Michael Jordan is the best athlete in sports history. I’m not saying pure athleticism (even tho I can argue that) I’m saying he was the best in his sport by a mile, nobody was that dominant in their sport other maybe Usain Bolt & Tom Brady.
I loved how Kobe Bryant played basketball. His NBA mix tape is very impressive. But when you watch the Kobe and MJ mix tapes back to back, it's plainly obvious that MJ was quicker and smoother. Kobe's movements look heavy and almost violent in comparison. There's a lightness to MJ's movements. Michael's style was smooth, powerful, and as strange as it sounds: aerodynamic. From the way he drove to the basket to how he soared through the air, everything is all so fluid and effortless. The way Michael Jordan played basketball brings to mind this quote from the great Bruce Lee. “You must be shapeless, formless, like water. When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup. When you pour water in a bottle, it becomes the bottle. When you pour water in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can drip and it can crash. Become like water my friend.”
Well said. Jordan was from another planet. Not only the best basketball player I’ve ever seen but the most captivating athlete across all sports as well.

Not only he was a fantastic player, a great leader obsessed with victory, and an athlete like no other. But what young people can't realize is that he was an ICON, known in the whole world, when Internet didn't even exist yet. I am french and everyone in my country knew MJ and loved him at this time, even people who had nothing to do with basketball ! No other player had such a fame since. It's like Michael Jackson in the music industry. No other person can compare and maybe there will never be.
I’m a Lebron fan but the feeling I get when I just watch Jordan play is unmatched, he’s not only the Goat because of his stats and accolades but the allure and feel he brought to the game is undeniable truly the Greatest Of All Time
How could you think that anybody is better than Michael Jordan was?? If you only watched video highlights like this there isn't another close to his performances. I watched MJ from NC to the Wizards, and been watching basketball since 1966. There will never ever be another Michael Jordan.
"MJ is one of one, God level, unmatched, unparalled, a pure master at this shit. I’m still watching his games to learn. Leave me out of it please." - KD when he got compared to MJ.
MJ in the 80's was another animal all together. He was so fast and athletic. His moves and hangtime were other worldly. That's the version of MJ I wish i had a chance to see his games live. I can only clearly remember from 1991(when I was 8) and beyond.
@@Zach1992D yeah, MJ says he feels he was at his best in 91-92. Thats when he was still very athletic but had gotten stronger and combined it with his knowledge/experience and had become a great shooter.
There's a reason we say things that may sound outlandish to younger generations that never saw Michael like "MJ could avg 50 in todays era" without thinking ourselves as lunatics. This man was completely unreal. Many may duplicate 20% or under of the things he could do, some of the greatest can maybe replicate 40% of MJ's game, but no one will ever get close to fully replicating what this man could do on a basketball court.
It really isn’t that far fetched if you look at the numbers. He averaged 38ppg one season off mostly 2pt shots. In this era, he would’ve taken more threes.
MVP, DPOTY, All-Star MVP, Slam Dunk Champ, Scoring Champ and Steals Champ! All in one season! 1987/88! 35.0 ppg on 53.5% shooting, 1.6 blocks and 3.1 steals per game! He was a monster in his prime! He dominated the league throughout his career! Simply the Greatest of all Time!
Found out recently he led the team in defensive rating 10x That's remarkable considering he played next to Scottie. i think the years he didn;t Rodman was there. To his credit rodman has a career defensive win share of 100 where Mj is at about 102 career wise
The charisma, the finesse, the athleticism, the cluthness, the infinite killer instinct... MJ had it all. Nothing like him, the THANOS of basketball and a god among men.
Speechless. Just when I thought I'd seen all the best MJ montages possible... this comes out. The true GOAT, no disrespect to LeBron, but the eye-test, accolades, numbers and raw peak/prime prove MJ was just greater. Look at how quick, active, mobile, strong and ballet-like he was. Pure magic....
@LeGoat James is 10-0 Better than Jordan by A LOT Imagine thinking a player who has airballed multiple FT's over his career is the goat. MJ hits them with his eyes closed on many occasions.
@LeGoat James is 10-0 Better than Jordan by A LOT Lehelp has had more all stars and HOF'ers than any other great. If being 1st in points in a single post season isnt carrying i dont know what is.
@LeGoat James is 10-0 Better than Jordan by A LOT wym? pippen was on the bulls in 1987.. micheal only played 2 years without pippen. they didnt win until 91. You gotta lose before you win, common knowledge, ask lebron. only he left to go join Dwade (averaged 30ppg) and chris bosh to lose against the mavs and scored 8 points in a finals game.. No, Post season scoring = carrying. Just like lebron did in 2018 brining that scrub team to the finals. harden hasnt done shit in the playoffs.
@LeGoat James is 10-0 Better than Jordan by A LOT Yeah no shit he averaged less because you have two all stars coming on board. Pippen averaged 20ppg and rodman wasnt a scoring threat he averaged less than 10ppg + was only there for the second 3peat. You are hella delusional. when did i say bosh was a god? there is a reason why they were called a big 3 though and spouting that they were going to win not 1 not 2 not 3.. not 6 rings. they were a 'super team'
What's nuts is, you could scrap every highlight in this vid and make anothrr 16 minutes every bit as good with 100% different plays. And then you could do that multiple times... it's weird.
Beyond all the numbers, all the accolades, all the video proof that this guy was the most skilled, athletic and artistic basketball player to ever live, and even beyond all the rings, the thing in my mind that puts him in his own category is the intensity he played with, every freaking night. He just did not take plays off, on either end of the court. Just a force of nature with a will to win like we’ve not seen before or after.
No lie. He always delivered, every time. That Last shot in Utah had me in tears out of gratitude for the dude who put his heart out there every single time.
It's just crazy that someone with this athletic ability as shown in the 80s clips ALSO had an unstoppable jumpshot, AND was the fiercest competitor of his time. Its insane. I was too young to really witness his 80s play, when he was skinny and dunking like a maniac, but I did watch the 90s.
@@sdaoud31exactly. That's what made him special. He was like a real life superhero, like Spiderman or something. During the bulls dynasty, you just KNEW he was going to find a way to win. I thought this was normal when I was a kid! And he ends his Bulls career by stripping Malone in the paint, taking it across the floor, and scoring. The guy was like 34 years old, scoring like 40 out of the bulls 89 points That Utah team swept the 98 lakers with shaq and young kobe.
Accolades? Jordan is the best... Stats? Jordan is the best... Will to win? Jordan is the best... Eye test? Jordan is the best... This guy is just different.
he is the offense, he is the defense, he is the last shot, he is the leader of team, the ignitor, the assist maker, dunk master. the most exciting player ever in the NBA even in the world. HE IS DEFINITELY, UNQUESTIONABLY the GOAT. Not like someone who says he is the goat while he is not defending but only in the offense.
@@smdideleted6327 lechoke once had 8 pts in a finals game and choked in multiple 4th quarters with his super heat and folded like a chair against midgets Jason Terry and barrea. 🤣🤣
THIS STATEMENT is why Jordan is the goat. People who didn't even LIKE basketball would watch because of Jordan. Only Magic Johnson came close to having that effect, but not to the magnitude of Jordan. It truly was a great time to be fan.
I have never seen a player close their eyes before a shot just to boast; and that was just the obvious, all his no look shots as he floated away from the rim are just ridiculous. Lebron is great, but no one should be compared to the absurdity that Jordan was, the man was magical, for someone to have one of those plays would be a career highlight, MJ did it over and over as if it was just another shot.
@@tric5122 ive seen somone do it recently and he airballed it, and that guy keeps being compared to mj as an equal or superior. lol i wish he wouldnt compare himself i want to like him but i just cant.
watching Jordan play and move has a different feeling. His aura it's different from any other player in any sport ever. His so legendary almost as he is not a human.
People sleep on MJ's athleticism because he has a smaller frame, but they fail to realize MJ had a higher vert than VINCE CARTER, yeah the guy who jumped over a 7 footer in the olympics. In fact MJ has the highest vert in NBA history at a staggering 48'
I'm sure he never displayed his full vertical on court!!! His sideway dunk in dunk contest demonstrates how easily he can reach his head to rim..If he really used his full potential he'd kiss rim fking sideways and sideway is the least vertical gaining jump technique...
@@halash_gowda5127 there is a clip out there of Jordan on TH-cam where he goes up for a lob and misses. His head is above the rim I think. It's hard to tell from the video angle. Of course the 1987 dunk contest where he ducks to avoid the rim on the reserve
I honestly cannot comprehend witnessing MJ growing up,after watching the 10 hours of The Last Dance and these type of highlight reels, how anyone on his right mind wouldn't acknowledge this man as the greatest basketball player in the history of the game and hands down one of the greatest athletes in the history of mankind! His total dominance on both ends of the court, combined with the elegance he exuded in execution is unparalleled. The black 🐱
I’m grown 39 year old man and teared up the last 2 minutes of this. Like a kid in the 20s with Babe Ruth, MJ is my childhood. No one and repeat no one can touch this man on the court. Larry Bird said it correct God was in human form 🙌🏾
Same age and wholeheartedly agree. Those of who witness Jordan's playing days know it's true. Personally, I don't think any player who is playing today comes close. Two things I hate about the comparisons is when you watch Jordan take two steps versus 3 and 4 of today's players and the likes of charging and flopping. James is a bulldozer who would never have gotten away with it then. Jordan got hacked often and bulked up. His footwork was supreme. All those basic fundamentals have gone down the toilet.
84 baby... facts. No comparison. MJ had led the Bulls 10x in defensive rating. rarely ever taked about. 10x scoring title and a leader in defenisve rating 10x ..that's ridiculous 🐐
Watching this highlights no one near close to this level of greatness what a goat. Jordan is a 6”6 guard dominate the golden era of the powerful centers
it's literally impossible to guard a player who is that athletic and with that kind of midrange and finishing ability. no matter where he is on the floor within the 3 point line your literally at his mercy. frightening. bron is the goat of this era but he has to get to the rim to establish his dominance so as a defender if you see him taking shot's on the perimeter you can breath a sigh of relief.
Exactly, today's #NBA is so boring in comparison, way to many 3 pointers and way to soft, the post and mid range game is being killed off, there is to much advantage to the offensive player, and there's just no grit on the NBA anymore, no real physical ' battles ' like there once was.....snooze.
This video really drops the mic on the whole "Is Jordan the GOAT?" debate. Just save it on your phone, and when somebody eventually brings it up to debate, just play it for them so they could shut the fu>k up.

the eyes don't lie...I bet there are many people that have watched this video for the first time and came away feeling amazed and inspired by MJs greatness and then days/weeks/months later, went back to watch this same video again, only to have that same experience, feeling the same way..MJ is just simply amazing!!
There hasn't been a player since to do that. I was 9 at the end of his final 3-peat, and no one has captured that same awe as Jordan did. There has been some glimpses, especially from Kobe as a 1 to 1 comparison. But it just isn't close. No disrespect to LeBron but he don't dominate like this, you can argue he's #2 and there is no shame to that. A lot of people came 2nd in Jordan's prime.
@@eric_schaaf Some of my favorite moments as a kid came from watching this man play. He was an absolute joy to watch. I cherish those memories, sometimes wishing I could relive those moments, wishing I could feel the same awe and wonder watching another athlete. But there will never be another Michael Jordan.
What blows my mind is that an athlete with this much talent still has the best fundamentals and the highest metrics/analytics of all time! Astounding!!!
@masonganter-xz5ewThat’s not living through that era, kid. We watched this man night in and night out for years as it unfolded. Big difference. Yall missed out.
Despite never having the chance to watch MJ play, I always considered him the GOAT just going off of his accolades and the most common highlights you could find. Watching this video, I feel like his athleticism has been severely underrated in modern days. His in-game dunking ability I feel is second to none, even by modern standards. His layup package is absolutely insane. Most impressively, he’s got to be the most creative defender I’ve ever seen. The way he’s able to steal the ball from unexpected angles, the way he baits defenders into dribbling right into his hands, how he wraps around offensive players. I feel like with the way social media is in contemporary society, MJ would be one of the biggest if not THE biggest human highlight reels.
MJs athleticism is so underrated that I often come across people who say Bron is faster, quicker, and a better athlete. Which is nowhere near the truth. The truth is MJ is one of the most freakish basketball players to ever play if not the most freakish. It would be between him, Dr J, Wilt, and maybe then Bron a distant 3rd. MJ was just quicker, faster, jumped higher, stopped better, changed directions better, had way better body control, insane stamina, first step, huge hands, hang time, etc that were leagues better than Bron. In short MJ had no weaknesses. The greatest and most fundamentally sound player ever. Whatever Nick Wright or Shannon Sharpe saying (smoking), real educated BB fans not taking that for face value.
@@cobrachannel100 You just became my #1 commenter. Nick Wrong and Shannon are plain delusional. I have argued for years that LeBron is bigger and stronger than Jordan. That's it!! Jordan was much quicker, faster, explosive, and just an all around better athletically than James. That's not a slight on LeBron, it's just factual. You took it to another level in mentioning his ability to stop and change directions better, with more body control.
I miss robin williams, princess diana, micheal jacksons music and a small handful of great people, that humanity will miss taken too early or taken at all. But none of them make me sadder than jordan getting too old to play, watching jordan in the 80's - 90's retire and return twice, it was a magic trick, and that he hasnt come back again since 2003 is the saddest feeling ive ever felt. We were lucky to get what we did, but unbelieveable still is that there could have been so much more. I wanted them to clone him just so i could watch him play kobe more and lebron, and tim duncan, and steph curry, and it cant happen, and i mourn that like i mourn robin williams, the man is still alive and basketball is missing out.
Starks said in an interview they used to get 4-5 page breakdown of players they were going to face next; it gave their tendencies and how best to stop them. For MJ it just said "Good Luck".
@@tric5122 I mean, look at the guy. Most of the dudes in these clips were playing great defense. He just had too many moves to get the shot off. Spin moves, up and under, releasing the shot on the way down, contorting his body, switching hands, ball fakes, etc etc.
The best part of watching MJ highlights is watching the reactions of the bench. These were professional basketball players who had their minds blown night in night out.
The black cat. Been a huge ball fan - starting with Magic, Doc, Bird, through MJ, Kobe, Lebron, and the present. IMHO, MJ is by far the most skilled , athletic, fundamentally sound, and vicious competitor of them all. This vid is a testament to his greatness.
@Bruno Sousa Kobe was good but not even close to MJ when you analyze their games up close. First, Kobe benefited from the rules changes. 2005 hand check elimination, defensive 3 second rule changes were installed during Kobe's time. Sure, the D was still way better than now (2010s and on), but not nearly close to physical during MJs time. In addition, Kobe was way worse playing back to the basket. In fact, he wasnt that good and preferred facing the basket as much as he could. Kobe, was also inferior when it came to off the ball game. His shot selection was also worse and cost them the 2004 Championship. In addition, Kobe was not as good of a leader; hence, they lost that 2008 championship to the Celtics although they lead by 24 points in game 5. The Lakers should have taken a 3-2 lead. They were dominating but then chocked and Kobe could not stop the bleeding. Then in game 6 Kobe was passive and they got blown out the arena by like 40 points by the Celtics.That never happened with MJ. So you are wrong. Kobe in no way was more skilled than MJ. Mj had better IQ and just better skills, including god given physical atributes that allowed him to do things that Kobe could only dream.
@Bruno Sousa problem of kobe is body and hand size that cant cope up with the atlethisism as mj's,, kb is very skilled but try to compare example thier jumpshots. Mj had higher vert during a jumpshop, mj is very good finding ways to had a shot meanwhile kobe sometimes over dribble, mj had good ways in making his shot selection (specially mid range) while kobe tend to force his shots (specially in 3's) thats why he has the worst fg in the league,, but kobe has the same mentallity mj had (the mentality not to quit)
40 years later, these highlights still look like they’re from the future. MJ isn’t just the greatest basketball player of all time-he’s the greatest athlete ever.
He is a GOAT. He was an incredible artist. He was really unstoppable and way ahead of his time from an athletic point of view. But for me it’s mentally dominated the most. He was not only unstoppable in attack, he also dominated in defense. He never let go of anything. Fantastic.

I was able to watch MJ since 1989 when I was 9 until his retirement from the Wizards... and after more than 30 years watching the NBA I have never seen such a dominant player as MJ, he crushed basically everyone when he and his Bulls were at their peak, he did things that are impossible to do for a normal human being, he scored 28 points per game in his rookie season, he won 6 championships almost back to back if not for his retirement, being the top scorer in every one of them, he won every final he played being the respective MVP, he was incredibly strong both in ofense as well as in defense, he was so dominant that I even believe (and I respect Lebron a lot) that if Lebron and MJ lived in the same era, both at their peak at the same time, Lebron would have had zero chances to win an NBA championship, that dominant was Jordan.

To combine that with the ability to jump stop or even jump backwards with complete balance and body control and bury a jumpshot is beyond absurd. And thats just one of his traits.

I love how the music is suited to each period of Jordan’s career,
1984-1990 is fast paced, exciting, makes your heart race, as that’s what it was like to watch Jordan at that time full of youth, energy and excitement.
1991-1993 sounds commanding and dominant, like something a Rock N’ Roll King would walk out to complementing Jordan in this Period, the perfect mix of talent, energy and experience something the younger Jordan obviously lacked, Jordan at the absolute peak of his abilities.
And finally we have the 1995-1998 theme sounding almost like a religious anthem , thematic, classical but still as loud and dominant as ever, showing how Jordan’s legacy has now risen to an almost myth-like status even while he’s still playing, a literal living legend.
Nice observation
Well put and accurate
Name of last song?
Totally worth it
A three-part composition
He can do everything.... From def to offense.... Blocking, stealing, passing, dribbling, dunking, 3 point shooting, ankle breaking, post moves, fade away, fast breaks, footwork, athleticism and etc.... Man, he is incredible

@@keatonreinke5830 lebron can't shoot and hasn't played defense in years
Everything about Jordan was just so cool. The way he played, the athleticism, his looks, demeanor, movements, shooting form, the huge hands.. Even his career arc was perfect--drafted to a terrible team, advanced further in the playoffs each year, ultimately built his team to the greatest dynasty the league has seen, then left with the final game winning shot. That's why he is so beloved.
Perfectly said!
First, he played 2 more years after that shot.
2nd pippen left so he quit instead of definitely losing but at least trying to defend the title and going for a 4th straight ring.
3rd that’s not quite how his career arc went, at all..
1st year 38-44 1-3 in playoffs
2nd year 30- 52 0-3 in playoffs
3 rd year 40-42 again swept in first round.
3 first round losses and little improvement until they drafted pippen really high in the draft and Horace, and built a good deep team with them off the bench.
4th year 50 wins lost 2nd round 2-3
5th year 47
6th 55 And from there they did keep improving until they were the only dynasty/super team in the league and dominated lesser talented teams.
Jordan is one of the best, no denying that
And 4th you should look into the bill russell John Havlicek etc dynasty.. untouched.. league truly never saw anything like it and never will again
Have a good one
@@jaredfullmer5104 celtics won like 11 titles in 13 years. 8 in a row. That would prob be best dynasty.
@@jaredfullmer5104 uh, yeah... we know all that. Jordan's the GOAT for many, many, *many* reasons. What you said isn't even close to a refutation of his position as the GOAT. Guess what - all the analysts and ex players that have him as the GOAT (75%+ of the population has him as the GOAT, Lebron tends to be 2nd with 13% of the vote, then a pretty good drop off after that) - they're all perfectly aware of everything you said.
The analysts at ESPN and the Athletic who put together the top 75 greatest players of all time with Jordan at #1 - they're all aware of everything you said. You said it as though it was somehow an argument against him as the GOAT lol, as if it was some secret knowledge you have which allows you to uniquely understand his *true* place in history further down the list. I had to point out the folly of that thinking. The vast majority of knowledgeable NBA fans (fans, professional analysts, players or ex players, etc) who have him as the GOAT are perfectly aware of everything you said. It just doesn't make a dent in his GOAT case when you look at his entire body of work (individual accolades, skillset, team success, etc.).
@@jaredfullmer5104 First, he did play 2 more years after that shot but not immediately. It was about 2 years later, after when he came out of retirement to play for the Wizards.
2nd. Jordan retired not because of Pippen but more because it was Phil Jacksons last year of coaching because they was not gonna renew his contract to coach more years and Jordan had said he didn't want to play for another coach. So when they gave Phil the axe, Jordan retired and probably the reason Pippen left as well and any other good players as they knew the team was too broken up to win, because of the stupid feud with Jerry Krause because of a power struggle.. Now without Phil coaching and no Jordan or Pippen, etc. Jerry Krause would be the one to be blamed after they sucked so bad after their last championship and rightfully so. Otherwise they could of won even more championships.
3rd. The career arc was not perfect until they finally got Phil Jackson to coach and had Ted Winters "triangle offense" then they kept improving like you said and got better players along the way until they finally won. And also Jordan didn't jump around from team to team of possible contenders just so he could win a championship easier. He stayed loyal and remained with his team throughout.
4th. There was a couple good dynasty's back then like Celtics and Lakers, etc. but you have to understand back then there was only about 11 teams as opposed to like 32 today, so winning in a row would not be as hard when you have a pretty good team put together.
Have a good one, it's all good and a happy 4th of July!!! 🎆🎇😎

LeBron the GOAT and BOAT
80's Jordan was so entertaining. Immense creativity combined with dynamic and electric athleticism.
In the 90s he was like a master he understood how to win a championships. Mid range game so smooth. The goat 🐐
Agree, his athletic ability was so insane, he was so great that people forget that he has the highest vertical jump in nba history with 48, he was so explosive in his younger years that no one can ever be until now, even in his prime at 1990-1993,
He had to build up muscles because of the Jordan Rules
His peak athleticism was the first 3-peat. The skinnier Jordan just appears more athletic to the untrained eye. To be more specific, peak-peak athletic ability Jordan was his 3rd championship season in the finals and no he didn’t fade at the end of the season because of the grueling stretch. He was a machine energized bunny with insane genetics who could progress at everything without fatigue causing him to stagnate or plateau. His trainer talks about this in his book. His 48” vertical was at this time. His trainer started working with him before the first championship season and took his vertical from 42” to 48” by the time the ‘93 finals arrived. Mentally he needed a break after this and not just cause his Father was murdered because he gave Stern fair warning before that tragic event but that was definitely the straw that broke the camel’s back.
@@encartasandiego4939 He was stronger and wiser in the 90’s but he didn’t dunk like in the 80‘s anymore. Just watch his games. He was at his peak of his game in the 90’s but not of his athleticism’s.

Jordan is like Picasso. Basketball art at it's finest.
I loved how Kobe Bryant played basketball. His NBA mix tape is very impressive. But when you watch the Kobe and MJ mix tapes back to back, it's plainly obvious that MJ was quicker and smoother. Kobe's movements look heavy and almost violent in comparison. There's a lightness to MJ's movements. Michael's style was smooth, powerful, and as strange as it sounds: aerodynamic. From the way he drove to the basket to how he soared through the air, everything is all so fluid and effortless. The way Michael Jordan played basketball brings to mind this quote from the great Bruce Lee.
“You must be shapeless, formless, like water. When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup. When you pour water in a bottle, it becomes the bottle. When you pour water in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can drip and it can crash. Become like water my friend.”
Well said. Jordan was from another planet. Not only the best basketball player I’ve ever seen but the most captivating athlete across all sports as well.

Check out the MJ video I made on my channel, it took me 10 days of straight editing to make! It'd mean a lot if you check it out🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🏼🙏🏼
Quincy Barry Sanders had that same entertainment factor
Cristiano Ronaldo has the same it factor in his prime
He's part alien IMO.
People sleep on MJ's athleticism because he has a smaller frame, but they fail to realize MJ had a higher vert than VINCE CARTER, yeah the guy who jumped over a 7 footer in the olympics. In fact MJ has the highest vert in NBA history at a staggering 48'
Bear paw hands as well
Did you see hime basically jumped over Scott Skiles half way thru this video?
I'm sure he never displayed his full vertical on court!!! His sideway dunk in dunk contest demonstrates how easily he can reach his head to rim..If he really used his full potential he'd kiss rim fking sideways and sideway is the least vertical gaining jump technique...
@@halash_gowda5127 there is a clip out there of Jordan on TH-cam where he goes up for a lob and misses. His head is above the rim I think. It's hard to tell from the video angle. Of course the 1987 dunk contest where he ducks to avoid the rim on the reserve
2nd technically wilt is 50
I honestly cannot comprehend witnessing MJ growing up,after watching the 10 hours of The Last Dance and these type of highlight reels, how anyone on his right mind wouldn't acknowledge this man as the greatest basketball player in the history of the game and hands down one of the greatest athletes in the history of mankind! His total dominance on both ends of the court, combined with the elegance he exuded in execution is unparalleled. The black 🐱
Because he's not the only one in that discussion. What can't you accept that?
@@antibieber9193return well I can give you Kobe or Karreem, but not LeBron lol, the difference is insane.
I dont care about stats or championships, its about who can win heads up. Lets be honest. Michael beats anybody 1 on 1.
@@TheTariqibnziyad Ok, I won't argue with that.
BEST ATHLETE EVER
This man isn't the GOAT of just basketball, He is the GOAT of all athletes.
Bo Jackson
@@ryandoptis3489 Bo Jackson's highlights are good, but watching this is on a totally different level. Not the same
Muhammad Ali
Most overrated person in history of mankind. Played against weak comp that’s why he looks so good. He’s basically jaylen brown with less 3pt shot
Totally agree, I always say the exact same thing!!!
Greatest ever.... it's not even a game when he plays it's art.
I’m grown 39 year old man and teared up the last 2 minutes of this. Like a kid in the 20s with Babe Ruth, MJ is my childhood. No one and repeat no one can touch this man on the court. Larry Bird said it correct God was in human form 🙌🏾
Same age and wholeheartedly agree. Those of who witness Jordan's playing days know it's true. Personally, I don't think any player who is playing today comes close. Two things I hate about the comparisons is when you watch Jordan take two steps versus 3 and 4 of today's players and the likes of charging and flopping. James is a bulldozer who would never have gotten away with it then. Jordan got hacked often and bulked up. His footwork was supreme. All those basic fundamentals have gone down the toilet.
84 baby... facts. No comparison. MJ had led the Bulls 10x in defensive rating. rarely ever taked about. 10x scoring title and a leader in defenisve rating 10x ..that's ridiculous 🐐
@@solemagus4761 WOW!
Micheal does mean " one who is like God !!" 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🔥🔥🔥
Watching this highlights no one near close to this level of greatness what a goat. Jordan is a 6”6 guard dominate the golden era of the powerful centers
Happy 61st birthday to the G.O.A.T.
His Layup package and midrange game was unstoppable.
it's literally impossible to guard a player who is that athletic and with that kind of midrange and finishing ability. no matter where he is on the floor within the 3 point line your literally at his mercy. frightening. bron is the goat of this era but he has to get to the rim to establish his dominance so as a defender if you see him taking shot's on the perimeter you can breath a sigh of relief.
@@jubfat I agree with this statement 💯💯
The layup package is insane. He must be ambidextrous, because he executes as well with his left hand as well as his right
@@Chessbox09 💯💯
Them reverse lay ups where he’s barely looks at the rim griping the ball with his big ass hands. Shit is too cheap
Legendary, untouchable, undisputed GOAT
Give this mixtape an Emmy.
I was thinking the same thing
agreed
Is easy chose Jordan highlights
There are ours 😂
The editing matches the moves to the music perfectly
💯💯💯
Everybody knew where the ball was going and who was gone take the shot AND U STILL COULDN'T STOP IT.......GOAT BISH!!!!!
I remember watching some of these games live as a kid. The best era of basketball IMO.
Exactly, today's #NBA is so boring in comparison, way to many 3 pointers and way to soft, the post and mid range game is being killed off, there is to much advantage to the offensive player, and there's just no grit on the NBA anymore, no real physical ' battles ' like there once was.....snooze.
Iggy Blitz I wished I watch Jordan’s games as a kid during the 90s
Iggy Blitz but I agree with you
This video really drops the mic on the whole "Is Jordan the GOAT?" debate. Just save it on your phone, and when somebody eventually brings it up to debate, just play it for them so they could shut the fu>k up.

Unfortunately, people have a psychological block. When you believe something, it's hard to change your mind, even when presented with great evidence. Bron fans will simply ignore the video or see it as somehow not impressive.

Bars, holy f
the eyes don't lie...I bet there are many people that have watched this video for the first time and came away feeling amazed and inspired by MJs greatness and then days/weeks/months later, went back to watch this same video again, only to have that same experience, feeling the same way..MJ is just simply amazing!!
There hasn't been a player since to do that. I was 9 at the end of his final 3-peat, and no one has captured that same awe as Jordan did. There has been some glimpses, especially from Kobe as a 1 to 1 comparison. But it just isn't close. No disrespect to LeBron but he don't dominate like this, you can argue he's #2 and there is no shame to that. A lot of people came 2nd in Jordan's prime.
@@eric_schaaf Some of my favorite moments as a kid came from watching this man play. He was an absolute joy to watch. I cherish those memories, sometimes wishing I could relive those moments, wishing I could feel the same awe and wonder watching another athlete. But there will never be another Michael Jordan.
His ability to take off from 2 feet and get that lift is otherworldly. So glad this video exists converting LeBron fans everyday
It’s amazing that a person could possess such extraordinary athleticism, intellect and drive that is MJ. Truly remarkable
His creativity is something that rlly stands out to me
What blows my mind is that an athlete with this much talent still has the best fundamentals and the highest metrics/analytics of all time! Astounding!!!
To watch MJ’s games during this era including his influence around the world at that time was INCREDIBLE. These young bloods have NO IDEA.
@Mason Ganter that was old Jordan. 34
@masonganter-xz5ewThat’s not living through that era, kid. We watched this man night in and night out for years as it unfolded. Big difference. Yall missed out.
I've probably watched this mixtape a hundred times since it dropped, yet I'm still amazed every time I watch it. Once in a lifetime athlete.
Same.
There is Michael Jordan. Then there is everyone else. PERIOD. 💯
That's exactly what Magic said.
till wilt put him in his place..........with what he said to him
This mixtape deserved 30+ mil views
th-cam.com/video/oiMlUh37-ag/w-d-xo.html
I know, the best mixtape I have ever seen.
You ain't never lied💯
So many reactions, that's why.
Despite never having the chance to watch MJ play, I always considered him the GOAT just going off of his accolades and the most common highlights you could find. Watching this video, I feel like his athleticism has been severely underrated in modern days. His in-game dunking ability I feel is second to none, even by modern standards. His layup package is absolutely insane. Most impressively, he’s got to be the most creative defender I’ve ever seen. The way he’s able to steal the ball from unexpected angles, the way he baits defenders into dribbling right into his hands, how he wraps around offensive players. I feel like with the way social media is in contemporary society, MJ would be one of the biggest if not THE biggest human highlight reels.
Perfectly stated, watch "rare voyager" as well
MJs athleticism is so underrated that I often come across people who say Bron is faster, quicker, and a better athlete. Which is nowhere near the truth. The truth is MJ is one of the most freakish basketball players to ever play if not the most freakish. It would be between him, Dr J, Wilt, and maybe then Bron a distant 3rd.
MJ was just quicker, faster, jumped higher, stopped better, changed directions better, had way better body control, insane stamina, first step, huge hands, hang time, etc that were leagues better than Bron. In short MJ had no weaknesses. The greatest and most fundamentally sound player ever. Whatever Nick Wright or Shannon Sharpe saying (smoking), real educated BB fans not taking that for face value.
@@cobrachannel100 You just became my #1 commenter. Nick Wrong and Shannon are plain delusional. I have argued for years that LeBron is bigger and stronger than Jordan. That's it!! Jordan was much quicker, faster, explosive, and just an all around better athletically than James. That's not a slight on LeBron, it's just factual. You took it to another level in mentioning his ability to stop and change directions better, with more body control.
MJ was literally a freak athlete with elite skills. The best to do it still
I miss robin williams, princess diana, micheal jacksons music and a small handful of great people, that humanity will miss taken too early or taken at all. But none of them make me sadder than jordan getting too old to play, watching jordan in the 80's - 90's retire and return twice, it was a magic trick, and that he hasnt come back again since 2003 is the saddest feeling ive ever felt. We were lucky to get what we did, but unbelieveable still is that there could have been so much more.
I wanted them to clone him just so i could watch him play kobe more and lebron, and tim duncan, and steph curry, and it cant happen, and i mourn that like i mourn robin williams, the man is still alive and basketball is missing out.
Mike was playing his own game out there. He wasn’t competing against anyone but himself. Crazy.
That's partly why he retired so many times. He didn't have a true rival on the court because he was sooo much better than everyone else!
dude he really knew how to ball! will always be known as a legend dude forever!
The phrase “You can’t stop him, you can’t only hope to contain him” was created because of Michael Jordan.
Starks said in an interview they used to get 4-5 page breakdown of players they were going to face next; it gave their tendencies and how best to stop them. For MJ it just said "Good Luck".
@@tric5122 😭😭😭
@@tric5122 I mean, look at the guy. Most of the dudes in these clips were playing great defense. He just had too many moves to get the shot off. Spin moves, up and under, releasing the shot on the way down, contorting his body, switching hands, ball fakes, etc etc.
16 minutes and 43 seconds of pure inspiration
MJ said best when he said don’t be in rush to see next Michael Jordan because there’s never gonna be another!!!
The best part of watching MJ highlights is watching the reactions of the bench. These were professional basketball players who had their minds blown night in night out.
Exactly that play when he went under like three Nets i think for a reverse layup theres a guy on the bench in awe lol. An actual nba player lol
Especially the bench reaction when he made that crazy layup off the glass from just inside the free throw line
Even the opposing team's bench. They were in awe too
the most acrobatic player in NBA history. Faster, jumped way higher than most, extremely efficient, a basketball killer. One and only GOAT.
The best to ever play period.
Check out the MJ video I made on my channel, it took me 10 days of straight editing to make! It'd mean a lot if you check it out🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🏼🙏🏼
The black cat. Been a huge ball fan - starting with Magic, Doc, Bird, through MJ, Kobe, Lebron, and the present. IMHO, MJ is by far the most skilled , athletic, fundamentally sound, and vicious competitor of them all. This vid is a testament to his greatness.
Kobe copied all Jordan moves.
@ Bruno Sousa He was no was not as smooth and athletic like Jordan.Not even close ..
@Bruno Sousa Kobe was good but not even close to MJ when you analyze their games up close. First, Kobe benefited from the rules changes. 2005 hand check elimination, defensive 3 second rule changes were installed during Kobe's time. Sure, the D was still way better than now (2010s and on), but not nearly close to physical during MJs time. In addition, Kobe was way worse playing back to the basket. In fact, he wasnt that good and preferred facing the basket as much as he could. Kobe, was also inferior when it came to off the ball game. His shot selection was also worse and cost them the 2004 Championship. In addition, Kobe was not as good of a leader; hence, they lost that 2008 championship to the Celtics although they lead by 24 points in game 5. The Lakers should have taken a 3-2 lead. They were dominating but then chocked and Kobe could not stop the bleeding. Then in game 6 Kobe was passive and they got blown out the arena by like 40 points by the Celtics.That never happened with MJ. So you are wrong. Kobe in no way was more skilled than MJ. Mj had better IQ and just better skills, including god given physical atributes that allowed him to do things that Kobe could only dream.
@Bruno Sousa problem of kobe is body and hand size that cant cope up with the atlethisism as mj's,, kb is very skilled but try to compare example thier jumpshots. Mj had higher vert during a jumpshop, mj is very good finding ways to had a shot meanwhile kobe sometimes over dribble, mj had good ways in making his shot selection (specially mid range) while kobe tend to force his shots (specially in 3's) thats why he has the worst fg in the league,, but kobe has the same mentallity mj had (the mentality not to quit)
40 years later, these highlights still look like they’re from the future.
MJ isn’t just the greatest basketball player of all time-he’s the greatest athlete ever.
He is a GOAT.
He was an incredible artist.
He was really unstoppable and way ahead of his time from an athletic point of view.
But for me it’s mentally dominated the most.
He was not only unstoppable in attack, he also dominated in defense.
He never let go of anything.
Fantastic.
Forget statistics and accomplishments, the eye test alone and the error in which he's doing this stuff tells you Jordan has to goat
unfortunetly, that's the sad state of current nba. kids just look at stats. player play for useless triple doubles instead of a win.
that is also my case even if dont have any accomplishments just the way he play man he is the goat nobody moves like mj
@@omidnamin9004 Yup and they dont realise the silly amount of extra possesions they get in a game resulting in 110+ point games. A lot of pull up 3's and Small ball lineups because you dont really need an offensive rebounder
And when you combine both the stats, achievements as well as watching him play, arguably the greatest sportsman in history.
@@omidnamin9004 Exactly, today's NBA is so boring in comparison, way to many 3 pointers and way to soft, the post and mid range game is being killed off, there is to much advantage to the offensive player, and there's just no grit in the NBA anymore, no real ' physical ' battles ' like there once was.....snooze.
The Greatest Basketball Player Of All-time
I'm only 23 yet this gives me nostalgia and goosebumps as if I lived through it.
I wish i was able to witness him play😫
@@sriramjetty116 he was as amazing as these videos and more and trust me…..I’m not overhyping or nostalgia blinded……it’s just the facts. The sky is blue…..Michael Jordan is the greatest of all time.
This is actually perfect way to summarize how anyone probl feels im 26 and never saw mj play live obviously but wen I watch his videos it just feels like if i know exactly how ppl felt watching him play live. Idk its weird to explain lol I feel like I am watching him live if that makes sense and I dnt think anyone makes me.feel that way watching they're highlights lol
I grew up in NC and knew who he was once he signed at unc. watched his whole career and it was amazing to watch.
I was able to watch MJ since 1989 when I was 9 until his retirement from the Wizards... and after more than 30 years watching the NBA I have never seen such a dominant player as MJ, he crushed basically everyone when he and his Bulls were at their peak, he did things that are impossible to do for a normal human being, he scored 28 points per game in his rookie season, he won 6 championships almost back to back if not for his retirement, being the top scorer in every one of them, he won every final he played being the respective MVP, he was incredibly strong both in ofense as well as in defense, he was so dominant that I even believe (and I respect Lebron a lot) that if Lebron and MJ lived in the same era, both at their peak at the same time, Lebron would have had zero chances to win an NBA championship, that dominant was Jordan.
Man I feel so lucky having watched him winning all those games and championships
