Crazy stuff. Not one between the leg,behind the back dribble or any of that, just pure fundamentals, it’s insane to watch. MJ truly mastered his craft.
Look at his game that's what made him the best. The smoothness, the athleticism to go along wit being cat quick. And to top it all off he's a pure shooter. The greatest Athlete/Basketball player I've ever seen Hands Down!
he let the offense make his tough shots a little easier. why ISO all game when u can come off a screen, throw up a pump fake, then one dribble pull up to an easy shot. all his shots look natural as if he's just taking what the defense gives him without forcing anything
mufid lassissi 23 points under 42 % on a usage rate that is higher than any year that Lebron ever had on a non playoff team LOL plus Jordan had 4 years of rest so way less Milage , definitely wouldn’t have don’t that if he didn’t retire in 98
Can you imagine the buzz if one of the players from the modern era pulls of half of these shots? With MJ it's just a game nobody mentions because it's business as usual :). This is the footwork masterclass in full effect :).
And all that with being 35 yrs old without missing a game for 3 years.. carrying the Bulls without Pippen and Rodman being wild, and also with a badly injured shooting hand too.. MJ just seemed to just get better.. he was 1st all nba and all defensive team, Scoring champion, Allstar MVP, League MVP, Finals MVP and a 6th time champion.. what can anyone say.
MJ vs LeBron This is a silly debate. Clearly Michael is better. It's not even a close one. But let's go to the facts. Updated after Lebrons 14th season. Michael Jordan has •3 more rings •3 more final mvps •1 more DPOY •1 more season MVP •9 more scoring titles •3 more steals leader •3 more all defensive team selections •4000 more points / bron moved past him in playoff points, but it took him longer lol. •800 more steals •Beat 20 50+ win teams in the playoffs (Lebron only defeated 10) •Jordan never averaged less than 40% Field Goal in the finals Lebron did it twice •6/6 (never allowed a game 7) •Lebron had much more help •Jordan never had a teammate averaged more than 22 points in the finals.. Kyrie averaged over 28 and DWade averaged more than 26 •MJ never ever had a finals meltdown like Lebron in 2011 against the Mavs •MJ had more points in the playoffs in less games.. All of this accomplished in 13 seasons Lebron is in his 14th season still chasing the "ghost that played in Chicago" •Michael Jordan in the playoffs has put up atleast 40ppg, 5rpg, 5apg in 6 different playoff series. Along with an average of about 55% shooting, 3spg and 2bpg. (86 vs bos, 89 vs cavs, 90 vs philly, 92 vs Miami, 93 vs Phoenix, 88 vs cavs) Jordan won every one of those matchups except for the 1986 matchup vs the celtics. •Jordan in 88-89 averaged 32ppg, 8apg, 8rpg, 3spg off 54% shooting. LeBron has never even came close to this stat line. •in 87 thru 92, MJ averaged 5 straight seasons of atleast 51% FG shooting. LeBron has never done this. •the lowest FT% MJ ever shot in a season was 78%. Lebrons highest in a season ever is 78%. •MJ has a higher playoff FG% of 48.7% to Lebrons 48.3% •MJ has a higher playoff player efficiency rating of 28.6 to Lebrons 27.3. •MJ shoots a higher playoff 3 point percentage of 33.2% to Lebrons 32.9% •MJ also shocked the league by being the first (and only) player to have 100 blocks and 200 steals in the same season, then turned around and did it again the next year.. Seriously this list can keep going. This isn't even a debate. Mj is the GOAT. Michael in only ELEVEN complete seasons with the Bulls: -10 STRAIGHT scoring titles, -Won Defensive Player of the Year, -9 times all defensive team, -9time All NBA, -5 league MVPs -6 finals MVPs LBJ missed the playoffs completely in his first 2 years. Jordan didnt with scrubs on his squad. Jordan played 82 games 9 times in his career once at 40. LBJ only played 82 games once. In 89 Jordan won the scoring title all star MVP slam dunk title regular season MVP and Defensive Player of The year something LBJ has never done. Jordan also averaged 41 pts a game for an entire Finals shootimg 50% and won. Something else LBJ never did. All 11 seasons. Mj has done in 11 seasons things Lebron hasn’t done and won’t do in his whole career... And before you criticize me for copy and pasting just know that it doesn’t matter if it’s copied or not, truth is truth. Check Mate.
Dwight Caliao I always consider (amongst the other many things) that THAT DEFENSIVE AWARD is what makes MJ the one above any other. BECAUSE he was a fucking SG and he won it while also winning scoring championships. He will always be the REAL GOAT.
Bro i just don’t compare players from different eras anymore. Jordan was the Goat of his time and Lebron shaping up to be the Goat of his. Compare bron to someone like mello or wade and compare jordan to like hakeem or Barkley. I know its not a contest but that would be the only fair way. Things change, rules change, so much has change from not only the 90s but even from when lebron got drafted in 03. I dont even think its fair to compare lebron to Kobe and they played a good amount against each other
Davone Guillory LeBron's resume is just as long, if you post certain shit that favors 1. Especially if you go from age 21-33, then give LBJ 2 more years, hes shitting on MJ. MJ 400 FGA to get those points. Like leading team in points steals and assist, MJ did it 3 times, LBJ 15 consecutive years. Yet " had more help".. the OP's post is bullshit trying hard to narrow everyone mind, good thing all the MJ followers are sheep, most of what he posed was garbage opinions once he got done with stats. like "LBJ had more help". They'll never allow the real GOAT to enter the equation in their mind with biased dialogue and fake stats
Baller Baby the only reason Lebrun leads in all the categories is due to the fact that wherever he goes he WANTS to do everything and then blame others for not doing their job.
People are saying MJ had more help lmfao. Wade and irving averaged more career points than pippen. Lebron played with wade bosh irving and love 4 of those will probably make the hof lets just not consider allen since hes old. Ray allen saved lebrons legacy also irving. Who had more help? The only thing lebron never had that mj had is a hof coach thats all. If youre gonna say mj had less competition. The jazz that went to the finals swept 4 all stars (lakers) hmm. Ik kobe isnt in the topic but, Didnt kobe beat 4 allstars with just gasol as a star? Lebron had 3 allstars and lost in 5 games. Hmm
Mr Q Ceaz Not really facing great finals teams like Kobe and LeBron, having pippen for that long being a great complimentary player all around to Jordan who also shown to be a star without MJ with 55 wins only to lose by a wrong call to the Knicks who probably would've won a ring if Ewing and Stark's didn't choke. Conveniently getting Dennis rodman the perfect piece to help him after getting bounced by magic due to rebounding and no defense on bigs. Managing to dodge all the all the great teams 80s teams that were teams that would've given a challenge to him near his teams level unlike 90s teams. And again for now he's the goat but he isn't immortal no one is.
Nets 4life he faced all the hardship getting to the finals .... y’all bash who he faced in end but not who he has to go through yet for Bron y’all are quick to make the case that’ “ he’s going to his 10th” straight final , well yea ... who df did he have to face in the east besides a Celtics and pacers ... everyone else was a cake walk but when someone brings that logic up you bron fans call them “haters” cause u can’t accept the truth jordan can’t help who he played with .. pippen did his part along with Rodman and grant (for a little bit) but stop trying to glorify those players like they were better than they actually were .. Rodman was a rebound guru WITH NO OFFENSIVE BONE in his body ... Scottie was a lengthy lockdown defe who had exception passing skills and Jordan was a 1 of 1 shooting guard with everything as a package .. people are quick to shy at his stats when they say Bron but name me another guard that’s avr over 30 (consecutively over a minimum of 5 times) while having 6-7 reb and a solid 6 assist .... the guy revolutionized the game and yet he still gets criticized 💁🏾♂️
The man goes 16-22 and most of his shots were jumpers, not lay-ups. Pick-and-roll action and just let him score. Can you imagine if he played today? How would you defend the pick and roll when you can't hand-check him.
He's a basketball grandmaster. The skills he accumulated and polished over the years is in full effect in this highlight video, this is what you should study if you want to know good fundamental and effective basketball.
It's plain disgusting the disrespect MJ is getting these days. It doesn't matter if MJ or LeBron is better because fact it, neither side has any proof (or solid evidence for that matter). They're just both great.
The R. Its people like you I'm talking about. That's not proof, the only way to prove who's better is to have them both play each other in their primes in various situations (same caliber teams, one on one, etc). As long as they're in different eras, on different teams, playing different competition and playing different positions and vastly different roles, you cannot prove who's better.
You’re right people cherry pick way too much when it comes Lebron and Jordan. The problem is when people say that one is great and the other is overrated. At this point it comes down to personal preference.
MJ is the GOAT but isn’t it funny how the people that say “stop comparing LeBron to MJ, he’ll never be the GOAT” compare LeBron to MJ all the time anyway. Skip Bayless is a perfect example.
Because bronsexuals like LeShannon Sharpe and Nick Wirtht keep screaming at the top of their lungs he's the Goat. If people said lebron is an all time great but no one said he's the goat, then real bball fans wouldn't have to compare to Jordan so much. Stop saying lebron is the goat and we won't compare him to MJ. That simple, bro.
We just gonna ignore the fact that he went 16-22 from the field. That's actually a lot harder back then because defense was way tougher than today.🐐 Sorry i didn't know people would get this triggered and start arguing my bad.😢
Do you have any idea what is handchecking? Even Jordan got to the line for driving to the basket, in todays standard every time is a flagrant foul, that took so much energy out as a basketball player
I not sure why the people still arguing who was better: MJ or Kobe, c'mon man, if you want to see their success you has to see Phil Jackson, Jordan and Kobe dominated their respectives eras, dropped insane stadistics but i think the success that Chicago and the Lakers had was definitely Jackson coaching those teams. They should have reached a lots of finals with other coaches, even win championships but thanks to Jackson that he taked advantage of the team that he had to give MJ and Kobe two of the most dominants teams in the history of the NBA.
In 50 years somebody is gonna tell a kid about mj, then that kid gonna find this video and understand why people still talking about this guy, mj plays too pretty, he's even pretty wen he misses a shot
What a devastating pump fake. Had Kerry Kittles in the air for much of the game. Jordan was 35 at this point and burning Kittles who was 24 years old. Ridiculous athletic ability even at the "old" (for an NBA player) age of 35 taking it to guys 10+ years younger than him.
6 ปีที่แล้ว
that's so impressive to me. Most NBA players are washed up by 35, but Jordan was still the best in the league
I find it funny how people come up with fake narratives of who he guarded and his all around game which can be proven false with one look at his stats. Michael guarded drexler, johnson and gary payton that seems like some great players to me. Oh yeah and he averaged 30 6 and 5 in his career. Take out his years in washington and its 30 6 and 6.5 so stop with that "he only scores" narrative.
Facts B as it should be. You think it's ok to undercut a jump shooter? That dirty move is responsible for the majority of injuries in the league. What's so funny?
Brooklyn Nets are a waste of space tbh.. The Knicks will always be New York's team, very dumb to switch cities but I guess it was good for business for the NBA.
Tyler Savage I think LeBron got killer instinct. It just took him longer to become a killer in crunch time. I still dont trust him on the ft line late in games though
i think 2009 was the first time he hit his first regular season buzzer beater. HE have the most playoff gw of all time and shoots a higher % on those shots too. Its crazy to say he doesnt have killer instinct.
Damn.... Imagine if LeBron got to play in an offense like this, coached like this and didn't have to worry about so much other than scoring and playing defense. Who knows what his career would be like?
Seriously I Know we dont know, but maybe we could if he just stops trying to be coach, manager and try to do everything in the court just to stat pad because he thinks that by getting more numbers than MJ he will surpass him. The number that he doesnt seem to count is that everything great MJ did, he did it in like 12 seasons. Soooo. No chance sorry, wait for your next “GOAT”.
Well then he wouldnt be Lebron, cuz Lebron wont let any system evolve around him, doesnt like dominante coaches and wants to be the best player, the coach defacto and control the players hell play with
Seriously I Know for real lebron kind of being wasted he needs a great coach every great player had one and had a good team around them to lebrons best team he was on was 2012 2013 2016 that's when wade was healthy kyrie to 2017 cavs were great to gsw had kd tho
Wait a min did i just hear a 3 game sweep? When did the first round of the playoffs change? Ive only been a real fan of the nba since early this decade
3-6 mafia trying to hype Lebron James up to be the best lol. The argument of goat should have never had Lebron James in it. He is nowhere near the player Michael Jordan was.
Crazy stuff. Not one between the leg,behind the back dribble or any of that, just pure fundamentals, it’s insane to watch. MJ truly mastered his craft.
True, watching him make me feels like he's holding back 90% of his ability 😂
Look at his game that's what made him the best. The smoothness, the athleticism to go along wit being cat quick. And to top it all off he's a pure shooter. The greatest Athlete/Basketball player I've ever seen Hands Down!
Jordan was just incredible man
Slightly Biased Kevin Durant Fan one of my favorite games of his
But you said LeBron was the GOAT smh

Agree.
Lebron = an unskilled loser

There's no words to describe how dominant M.J. was. Greatest player to ever grace the hardwood. 🐐
nothing flashy. so effective. one dribble pull up, turn around fade, pumpfake. just looks so effortless
he let the offense make his tough shots a little easier. why ISO all game when u can come off a screen, throw up a pump fake, then one dribble pull up to an easy shot. all his shots look natural as if he's just taking what the defense gives him without forcing anything
@@samballtalk makes you feel like hes holding back tbh
foot work and post game is incredible
38 points on 16 of 22 shooting. Freaking unreal. Most of these were mid-range fadeaways. Good Lord, I don't wanna hear anything more about LeBron
Jordan was pure economy of motion, no wasted movement. Beautiful to watch.
greatest ever
Nah

Jordan was just on another planet man real goat🐐💯
Another day at the office for Mr. Jordan
Yes because he was being guarded by office workers 😂 that defense looked like Utah on Kobe’s last game
Trey Pound Lmao so at 40 years old he averged 23 ppg in 2002 against players from yalls era? But he couldn’t do it in his prime ?
mufid lassissi 23 points under 42 % on a usage rate that is higher than any year that Lebron ever had on a non playoff team LOL plus Jordan had 4 years of rest so way less Milage , definitely wouldn’t have don’t that if he didn’t retire in 98

Just speechless the way he plays. Hard work and dedication.
Don't forget he did this easily at 35 years old Hands down the GOAT history and highlights speak for itself 🏀🐐
Moves so beautifully, no one comes close

The real 23, The real 🐐...
is Lebron. Agreed
I was at this game. My guy couldn’t miss!
You know what's crazy is that he had 21 on 9/10 (90%) shooting.
Holy shit he was amazing to watch
MJ was 34 here and made nba 1st team all defense, in addition to all this great offensive play.
The man goes 16-22 and most of his shots were jumpers, not lay-ups. Pick-and-roll action and just let him score.
Can you imagine if he played today? How would you defend the pick and roll when you can't hand-check him.

I literally see you everywhere
The real GOAT
2:58 Zaza is that you??

This man cannot be surpassed ever
The triangle offence has so much movement ; Phil ‘Zen Master’ Jackson is a genius. And the dude wearing 23 ain’t too bad either.
He couldn't wait for the playoffs to start in his later years. He just couldn't wait to add to his ring/trophy collection.
Pippen with a classic Zaza 2:59
lol I've been saying this. Zaza only learned from the masters
Baller Doge pippen invented, Bruce bowen masterized
ytalo rafael and Zaza abused
That joint was crazy!!
Jordan... This man literally made 3 men leave their feet off a pump fake.

Skyler Hamilton you actually watch the highlights? Please point out what made the defense that was being played harder?
Skyler Hamilton plus he is shooting mostly fadeaways but the talent defensively is much better today
not true. nba defense is different now than it was 20 years ago but its still tough as hell .
wynn10 did you see many foul calls? Most players today dropping 40 are getting 10 from the free throw line
Do you have any idea what is handchecking? Even Jordan got to the line for driving to the basket, in todays standard every time is a flagrant foul, that took so much energy out as a basketball player
Such a tactician on offense. No one comes closer other then #8 & #24
D H Kobe was less efficient, took a lot of bad shots. Less athletic too if you want to be honest. Look at an 80s Jordan. No question
G.O.A.T !!
I not sure why the people still arguing who was better: MJ or Kobe, c'mon man, if you want to see their success you has to see Phil Jackson, Jordan and Kobe dominated their respectives eras, dropped insane stadistics but i think the success that Chicago and the Lakers had was definitely Jackson coaching those teams. They should have reached a lots of finals with other coaches, even win championships but thanks to Jackson that he taked advantage of the team that he had to give MJ and Kobe two of the most dominants teams in the history of the NBA.
In 50 years somebody is gonna tell a kid about mj, then that kid gonna find this video and understand why people still talking about this guy, mj plays too pretty, he's even pretty wen he misses a shot
He was just a great mid range shooter
He had all the tricks
Way better than that overrated small foward we have today on the cavs that call himself the king.
What a devastating pump fake. Had Kerry Kittles in the air for much of the game. Jordan was 35 at this point and burning Kittles who was 24 years old. Ridiculous athletic ability even at the "old" (for an NBA player) age of 35 taking it to guys 10+ years younger than him.
that's so impressive to me. Most NBA players are washed up by 35, but Jordan was still the best in the league
Drop more of these
Comparing LeBron is like you are trying to figure out God's existence with all your knowledge when you eventually cant. Jordan will always be GOAT.
The link to the box score is a great touch!!
GOAT
2:58 i guess zaza watch this highlights before us 😧😂
effortless post game is crazy, so many fakes and countermoves
35 yr old Jordan.
GOAT 🐐
Greatest Ever
Mj is waaaaaay better than lebron
I find it funny how people come up with fake narratives of who he guarded and his all around game which can be proven false with one look at his stats. Michael guarded drexler, johnson and gary payton that seems like some great players to me. Oh yeah and he averaged 30 6 and 5 in his career. Take out his years in washington and its 30 6 and 6.5 so stop with that "he only scores" narrative.
Crazy efficiency. Noticed he actually got away with moving his pivot foot a lot on his fakes and jumpers. Nba didn't call travel then, still doesn't.
thats called a close-out game not an elimination game
What would he have looked like at 36
3:00 that’s a flagrant 2 nowadays 😂
Facts B as it should be. You think it's ok to undercut a jump shooter? That dirty move is responsible for the majority of injuries in the league. What's so funny?
TrueHoodEnt CRY
At least three of those would be And 1s today
Soo we just gonna ignore the Rodman quick release off the messed up catch then, one dribble from deep looking like Klay Thompson.
I miss the New Jersey Nets tbh
Brooklyn Nets are a waste of space tbh.. The Knicks will always be New York's team, very dumb to switch cities but I guess it was good for business for the NBA.
🔥🔥🔥
This is killer instinct. This is what LeBron lacks and how there's a good chance he'll lose to the Celtics.
Tyler Savage I think LeBron got killer instinct. It just took him longer to become a killer in crunch time. I still dont trust him on the ft line late in games though
Tyler Savage who is guarding that man lol might as well be a chair lol
Nah bruh Jordan actually had help to where of he did put up 40 they winning Bron do that they still losing its a team based game not a player
Tyler Savage but in elimination games lebron averages 43 ppg though
i think 2009 was the first time he hit his first regular season buzzer beater. HE have the most playoff gw of all time and shoots a higher % on those shots too. Its crazy to say he doesnt have killer instinct.
Damn.... Imagine if LeBron got to play in an offense like this, coached like this and didn't have to worry about so much other than scoring and playing defense. Who knows what his career would be like?
Seriously I Know we dont know, but maybe we could if he just stops trying to be coach, manager and try to do everything in the court just to stat pad because he thinks that by getting more numbers than MJ he will surpass him. The number that he doesnt seem to count is that everything great MJ did, he did it in like 12 seasons. Soooo. No chance sorry, wait for your next “GOAT”.
Well then he wouldnt be Lebron, cuz Lebron wont let any system evolve around him, doesnt like dominante coaches and wants to be the best player, the coach defacto and control the players hell play with
Seriously I Know LeBron loves the ball in his hands too much to play in an offense like this
Seriously I Know for real lebron kind of being wasted he needs a great coach every great player had one and had a good team around them to lebrons best team he was on was 2012 2013 2016 that's when wade was healthy kyrie to 2017 cavs were great to gsw had kd tho
Rip sager man
Goat
The Bulls won the series 3-0?
2:55 Pippen dirty af
2:58 pippen" zaza move" ,so fucking dirty
Wait a min did i just hear a 3 game sweep? When did the first round of the playoffs change? Ive only been a real fan of the nba since early this decade
35 years old
Why so much Jordan slander in the comments?
LeBron superfans with enormous levels of autism
3-6 mafia trying to hype Lebron James up to be the best lol. The argument of goat should have never had Lebron James in it. He is nowhere near the player Michael Jordan was.
The triangle offense doesn’t even look so complicated
ssseandon 1 it wasn’t. MJ was just unstoppable which made it unstoppable
DaKK yeah i know that but the offense itself seems so simple while nowadays everybody thinks otherwise .
ssseandon 1 you determined that he triangle offense is not complicated by watching a 6min video?? This new generation is a joke lol
Michael's ability to go solo made it look easy and unstoppable then. Lakers ran it better.
Imagine if mj got the touches harden and westbrook get😅😅
Who were the guys on the court with him lol
3:25 travel
World Boss NBA
World Boss correct me if I'm wrong but i thought he stayed on his pivot foot.😕
6:20 3-0 bulls win series unless this was game 4 im buggin
Chris A first round was best of 5
