If Jordan played in this era he would be wearing rings on his toes by now.
He definitely would have a bunch more but also probably would've needed a few down years, just for the physical and mental rest.
That man didn’t face any zone defense. Not to mention athletic defenders. He never beat any all time great teams and was never defended by an an all time great wing defender.
@Mr. President Not to mention Michael Jordan had seasons of shooting 13,16,17 &18% from 3. There were no great wing defenders and if a double came it had to commit otherwise it was illegal defense. But these utube dudes fall in love with highlights 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Nah it would depend on what team he's on one player doesn't win by himself. He scored 63 vs Celtics in playoffs still lost the game
@bouchthecollector yes remember that 13% from 3. Jordan played in an era with its own style. That was 36 years ago, players are more skillful and athletic. Jordan’s athleticism wouldn’t stand out as much today. But he was a giant against the JV 90s
The thing this younger generation doesn't seem to understand when it comes to Jordan, this was him EVERY 👏 SINGLE 👏 NIGHT 👏. No plays off. No load management. No wasted plays. This guy killed you on both ends of the court every play. And he would do it after a night out at the casino without an ounce of fatigue. He was a machine. So it is nice to see people like you, in this generation, understand what this man was capable of and the heights he took basketball. Props for that! But then you have people say he played against "plumbers". No, he MADE THEM look like plumbers. He made many of them look average because he was so far ahead of the curve. Six championships, no losses. Six finals MVPs. Five league MVPs. Ten scoring titles. Countless All NBA and All Defensive First Teams. A Defensive Player of the Year Award in an Era where that award was usually awarded to the big men. Two Olympic Gold Medals. Hell, even a College National Championship at UNC. Played in arguably the toughest Defensive Era. Still averaged 30+. And he did ALL of this in 15 seasons which includes his two seasons with the Wizards at the age of 40 (or 14 seasons if we want to take out his second season that was almost completely lost to a foot fracture). Twelve seasons if we JUST count his Bulls years. Imagine if MJ didn't retire the first time, IN his prime. Imagine if Kraus kept them together for a year or two more after winning their 6th. Imagine Jordan having a 18, 19 or 20 season career. Just imagine where his stats would have been. How many more titles he would have had. In comparison, at 14 seasons respectively, Lebron was behind MJ in every major statistical category other than assists. He had 2 titles to Jordan's 6. And the hardware gap was huge. I respect LeBron, just as I respect guys like Durant, Curry, Kobe (who is the closest we have ever seen to MJ) and beyond. But Jordan simply packed in MORE accomplishments, both personal and team, in less time than anyone else. The argument of the GOAT hasn't even been close. It's okay to love your favorite player, but as a basketball fan, you can't deny who sits at the top. "Jordan is the standard by which basketball excellence is measured" David Stern
Great reaction!
This ☝
And he made the NBA a worldwide business. Kids in Africa had bald heads with their tongue out.
You forget to mention Jordan wouldn't be sitting on the bench with 8 minutes to go in the 4th with the Finals!!!!! On the line down by 12....oh wait... did you say Lebron did that?????!!!!!!
I think jordan was playing basketball in his dreams mr automatic lol.
and no time to flop
Watching Jordan play was like watching a ballerina. It was beautiful.
Pure art.
Nah, Lebron's acting is the pure art. Its Oscar worthy :D.
Finesse, poetry, motion elegance
The most in aw amazing player I've ever witnessed that man was unbelievable. And a different breed from the rest.
I often say it was poetry in motion. It was straight up art.
The crazy thing is he was the most fundamentally sound player on the court at all times . I was blessed to get to watch him play in person a few times up close . Mike was just a alien lol
Oh his shots on practice was crazy and his shirt never came untucked
Jordan was on 9 All Defensive First teams while leading the league in scoring 10 times. Imagine how much energy it took to compete that hard on both offense AND defense?
He won DPOY and the scoring title in 1988. Steve Kerr once said that it was ridiculous how much better Jordan was than everyone else on the floor. And that was EVERY night!
And don’t forget what Larry Bird said of Jordan too!
@@gene081976 bird called Jordan god disguised as a person
Yup yup. He also led the league in steals 3x.
The only years he didn’t get a defensive first team in Chicago were his rookie year, his second year because he had that broken foot & only played about 20 games, and his comeback year when he only played 17 games.
Dude was LETHAL on both of meds of the court.
James Harden can tell you all about that
And todays great players taje time off and not play in non bearing games.....
That is how their goat is... gettingbready to get fat and milk it .
MJ was 6'6, most of his dunk highlights are him posterizing greatest big mans of all time, like Ewing, Mourning, Hakeem, Mutombo. Lebron is 6'9 and one of his greatest dunk is posterizing 6'2 Jason Terry while being 3 on 1 fast break.
That was Jason Terry...He's still a small guy, tho...I think he was around 6'2
@@dirtyface-capone7622 yeah might be. I mean I ain't no hater, but his biggest trait is his physique, but yet he plays in non physical era and I ain't really seen much of him posterizing big players like MJ did
@@vadimslarionovs5422 I agree.Personally, I always thought LeBron's dunk on Jason Terry was overrated.
@@dirtyface-capone7622 so many of his plays are overrated af. I ain't really hating on him, but that's just the way I feel about some of the plays. For example that 1 handed pass fake and then making assist. I mean, it was hella amazing play, but MJ been doing one handed pass fakes for years.
Bron is actually 6'8 but you came with the facts
Imagine watching this live. What a time to be alive in the 90’s to watch him play. Everybody wanted to be like Mike.
I was there. It was amazing
90‘s Chicago what a time to be … Blackhawk Roenick and Jordan and the Bulls 😅
The golden age of basketball....It's never been the same since MJ left.
Even SPIKE LEE, who is a die hard Knicks fan, admits that Jordan is the GOAT.. he witnessed Jordan's era first hand on the courtside.. during the Knicks vs Bulls rivalry he was there to see how crazy MIKE was at that time..
He was 40 when he played with the Wizards, and still had decent stats. He even had a 2 game span where he scored a total 96 points.
Everyone knocks on MJ’s time with the Wizards. But look up his stats. He was putting up better stats then other players in their prime at that time when MJ was in his early 40’s.
And he was stressed out & burnt-out from being a 1st time team owner while playing.
I always say that...
MJ in Washington...21-6-5
Dwades career ... 22-5-5
Jordan was averaging the same as some of the top players in the league today while on the Wizards and he wasn't in player form. Came out of management to play the game.
You are so right ! I have said it MANY times. Jordan was at such an elite level that we graded him bad for his standards. Go back and re watch the games and look at the stats he was bringing in for a 40 yr old. Today, they would be an all star that is how good he was ! One of my fav quotes from Jordan was when he was on the Wizards. He said " It is sad today when you have a 40 year old out rebounding , diving for loose balls, and giving more effort then guys half his age". He is right and what is more sad, he said that in 2002 and it still resonates today.
No doubt,he put up numbers all-star starters today put up.And he was doing at 39 & 40 years old while being part owner of the team
Jordan is such a legend he made b-ball popular in Australia during the 90's and us Australians couldn't give a shit about b-ball
As an Australian 100% endorse this comment. I used to tape the bulls games on vhs and watched them over and over.
We were just so incredibly blessed to have witnessed something so unbelievably earth defying as MJ. Blessed bro! I’ve never felt the same about anyone in any sport since….
same thing happened in the UK in the 90's, Magic and Bird saved NBA in the US, MJ took it to the world
Definitely endorse this. As an Aussie who grew up in the 80s and 90s, basketball was like an out of season sport that you might do to stay fit. Jordan made it more than a sport. It became a lifestyle. It was became a huge part of popular culture.
@@jackhunter5295 facts
not only in australia, i think basketball only hype in US, me in asia too never give a shit about basketball, but MJ bring basketball to al around the world
People don't mention his passing enough. But Michael Jordan's passing was absolutely, unequivocally insane. Especially when you add on all of his immense gameplay intensity. You never knew when a pass was coming. Predicting one was damn near impossible. Especially with his crazy ball handling & clutch. No way dude. Michael Jordan mastered it.💎👍🤙
Ironically enough it was because he was forced as a point guard at one point in his career. He also mentioned that he studied Magic's games to prepare himself.
@@detectivemarkseven Yeah Jordan was so good at everything on the court. He played as if he was playing against the whole world.
He averages 11 assists per game to match magic's in the 1991 finals while averaging 30 ppg and 8 rpg, and people out here talking about he can't pass 😂
I think my favorite of MJ highlights are his defensive highlights. It's so crazy to watch them, then you have to remember he also led the league in scoring while making all these ridiculous defensive plays. So much fun to watch.
I got the joy of seeing all this when it was happening. Jordan adapted to everything the game could throw at him and kept playing. No whining about no-calls, no backing down, no jumping to another team because yours isn't good enough. He MADE his team good enough and keep it going for TWO 3-peats. That's a true GOAT.
Yep just like we will never truly appreciate will chamberlin , this generation will never understand jordan, there nothing more exciting then watch him play, not to mention throw in pippen and the worm..there nothing better, watching LeBron and his team always bored me..
Lebron what team you wanna play next for let us know so we can put your dream team together so you could be champions again
It's not surprising if LBJ join another championship team next season.
I think Jordan's layups are the best ever. People focus on dunks but his layups were amazing
Facts, his layup package is 2nd to none. He'd reverse layup in a heart beat.
@@crharper25 right? Dr Js most famous layup was routine for MJ
It's beautifull to see you younger guys see these recordings. Who would have believed that someone like this ever existed if it was not recorded. I love how it brings old and young together. Believe it or not, your reactions today were our reactions back then. Be forgiving to us old huys if we do not celebrate LeBron the way you can(and should) for his artistry
I think what made Jordan so great, along with his skill and talent, was his heart. He went full out every possession.
Michael Jordan had a certain finesse that no other basketball player has had! It's like grace and ease in making shots, it's insane!
MJ the GOAT and no one else comes close. I got to witness this live as a kid. Imagine how we felt watching this man for the first time.
The best way I’ve ever heard put was: Jordan is the GOAT, everyone else is fighting for second.
I was at a game probably late 80s and was very young don't remember much but what I do remember Cadillac Anderson made a brutal foul on MJ and he went down unconscious for about a minute or so the whole stadium went completely silent it was like time stopped for a moment but he popped right back up , I'll never forget that.
1st time seeing jordan was the Pacers game coming out of retirement. 2nd and last one was his last time playing in Chicago for the Wizards.
SO YOU SEEN JOKEDAN GO 1-9 IN PLAYOFFS HISTORY.
@@kennypetrovic4286 no but I've watched Leyawn James choke and lose in the finals 6 times.
Bro for me MJ prime started in 86 and lasted in 98... Damn watching MJ in his prime was so amazing and I have the privilege to watch him doing such a incredible dunks fade away reverse lay up and the ball handling..man that was so amazing... amazing....
but i think the jordan prime era was 88-93..after he retired the first time and came back in 95..his game changed. he plays more genius and is more tactical, ..less physical...
Every game of Michael was a highlight reel. It was an honor to watch him.
While everyone talks about the high flying dunks and his hang time which are absolutely mind blowing, but what was truly amazing about watching MJ play was the fact that he was fundamentally sound and his footwork was out of this world. There will never be another one like him.
Exactly!! It was everything! He gave it his all
Yup, and the bigger the moment, the better he played.
@@matthewhetzler4912 Exactly!! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
And his reflexes were insane.
He had no weakness.
I'm a grown 26 year old man and just watching jordan play puts tears in my eyes, this man was really the most dominant player there ever was and it wasn't even close.. he embodied what it really meant to be a champion
Wilt Chamberlain was the most dominant but Mike was 2nd.
@John Espo Mike would've been a like a boy against Wilt.
When will these LeCon fans WAKE the hell up!!!
I’m 44 and yes my eyes still 💧 up a lil too.💯
@@BRAVO2I4 Wilt was an underperformer in the playoffs. Check out his regular season vs playoffs. Wilt is the most athletic NBA player. But this ain't a track and field meet. If it was, Wilt would be #1
The best part is that every game he played was a highlight reel . I'm born raised West Side Chicago. I'm 45 and lived and seen the whole MJ era . It was honestly the best time for basketball ever . And to have your Team and City the highlight of the world not just the States but the world was pretty amazing. And Mike didn't need or never had a Super Team and Never lost in the Finals . Never went past 6 games in the finals . And honestly if the bulls ownership and GM weren't so dumb !!!!! We win 3-5 more in a row . Tim Duncan becomes a free agent and perhaps 🤔 we get hun and boom we win minimum of 9 and 6 in a row with whom ever we would pick up . Because the Bulls for the last 3 championships especially were a old team .
His prime was the entire 90s. Grew up in Chicago in the 80s and 90s. I witnessed it all. Watch Bulls v Knicks from that era. Some of the most intense playoff series.
Best playoff series ever fam
The 90’s was the best, there was no flopping back then, and no super teams… He didn’t try to be a Laker, he beat the Lakers… MJ IS THE GOAT…
Facts.
Yep, he also had a great front office who MADE SURE HE HAD THE HELP HE NEEDED! He was a wizard and couldn’t win anywhere else without scottie 🤷🏾♂️
💯💯💯💯💯💯🐐🐐🐐
Dial it back to the 80s as well. The NBA was a man's game in the 80s and early 90s. (emphasis on the 80s).
@@emericas9 LOL Lebron handpicked his team and still lost 6 times.
Michael Jordan is literally a synonym for GOAT. Wayne Grezski is the "MJ" of Hockey where as Tom Brady's the "MJ" of football.
Gretzky leads in both goals by far and assists by even further he is a man of himself not the mj of anything
@@nickolaibuck9301 I feel u on that had us black kids in the hood yelling hat trick 🤣
...and Lebron is like the Michael Jordan of basketball, right?
Agree with comment except the latter lol
Muhammad Ali is the GOAT , all others are "kids " .
I’ll be 50 yrs. old.. I saw every game Mike, Kobe, LeBron, Steph, etc. play this game.. These gentleman have revolutionized the game of basketball.. All have amazed me in their own way, But.. When I seen MJ play,(on television or in-person), it was an incredible show.. He is the 🐐.. I truly love seeing LeBron play at his level.., I will always say, Kobe is more than not the 2nd under MJ.. R.I.Love. Mamba and Gigi.. ❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾Never forgotten✊🏾✊🏾
I just wish more Lebron fans would wake up and realize just how incredible MJ was. Nobody is on this mans level and there is nothing wrong with being 2nd best.
Michael Jordan’s prime was every single year he was with the bulls. He had the longest prime I’ve ever seen in NBA history. Closest to him is Kobe.
You are absolutely right. MJ was the man from the time he hit the court.
Kareem too
Duncan, LeBron & Malone don't exist?
I agree, Kobe is the closest to Jordan, not LeBron
@@benjaminan1183if MJ didnt retire bc of his dad, he likely would have had 8 strsight rings. Yeah, the longest prime.. Lebron has played at a high level longer and i can argue why for a myriad of reasons, but ill just concede the point first. The key words is "at a high level" but not at a prime level.
Jordan was in his prime for so long people were relieved when he retired bc they felt they finally had a chance. So yeah, longest prime.
What make Mike so cold is he lost some of his athleticism and he just reinvented game and Three Peated again. That's what's crazy
MJ the Best for real! I grew up watching Jordan. Much respect. Keep making the reacts👍🏼
Best thing about Jordan was how he evolved his game. Early it was a lot of inside, slash and dunk with a bit of mid-range. Then the turn around/outside game. People said he could score but couldn't play D. Becomes one of the best defensive players ever.
i've seen the ending of that mixtape so many times and the music along with the game winner in game 6 chokes me up every time. I saw almost his entire career and this still fucks me up when I see it. The greatest no doubt.
Perfect story
I'm 60 & if i am around 20yrs from now , i'll still be watching MJ because it just keeps getting better & better. This man was possessed, seriously.
This was fun to watch. Dude is the most unbiased Lebron fan I’ve ever seen. Kind of refreshing.
He was for sometime "The Greatest Show On Earth" especially during the playoffs. That entire team was a well oiled machine. He dared to be great, like Wilt before him, he dared the game to beat him but unlike Wilt, Mike won!
it's true
I LOVED the NBA back then. Multiple dynasties at once. Lakers, Celtics, Bad Boys & Jordan had to overcome them all.
Facts and all of those teams was stacked with Hall Of Famers also..
There was a time when you had to " Pay your dues " ...
Many teams overlooked because of Bulls dominance. LeBron fans call them scrubs not realizing the Bulls kept those teams from getting to the finals.
I really feel like Michael Jordan took the fundamentals of basketball to another level by practicing them until they were instincts. He wasn't overly flashy, but he learned to play the game so flawlessly that while he was on the court, he wasn't thinking about himself, but how to see through everyone else's game to get to the rim. Mike played basketball like people ride bikes. It was just easy.
Ummm...that's literally how it's supposed to be.
When I played football growing up, I was usually the littlest or youngest on the field. The older guys used to argue about, "What's so hard about guarding that kid!?". The guy guarding me would always say, "Then you guard him!", to which the other guys would just walk away. The point being, I used to be in this space, where I could see the field and was aware of what everyone was doing. I knew where to run, how to use a players' strengths against them, where to line up, who to fake, it was incredible. I didn't know how to explain it, I just knew how to do it.
MJ always looked like he was doing the same thing. Total and utter awareness, which gives you such a level of control over the game. It's so easy to get by someone when you know what they are going to do. And knowing that allows you to also make them do what you want them to do. Because of that, you did better than most players, even when you didn't play your A-game. Take that and add natural ability and a hard-ass (always underated) work ethic. Well... you get ...
...MJ+🏀=🐐
@@seymourbutts5277 it’s not ✌🏽
He would practice his offensive and defensive footwork drills in an empty gym full speed…everyday and his cardio was running full blast for 20 minutes.
@@seymourbutts5277 Yeah. But it isn't. If it was, everyone would be remembered 30+ years later.
the best reaction I've seen on this video,you know what you're talking about and it's a pleasure.a lot of young people have only seen lebron or kobe play and are blinded to the point of not even realizing how much jordan was above them with a much tougher defense back then than today.
He was 35 for his last title. He was able to be that good for so long bc his work ethic, and mastery of fundamentals.. the crazier part was how many people that played with him said he rarely slept. Imagine if mj slept, didn't drink and smoke, and had a clean diet.
That would've not be Jordan though. Like if Kobe was a nice guy, it wouldnt be Kobe
Yeah he was flashy, but at the same time he was one of the most fundamentally sound players ever. Foot work impeccable, no wasted movements.
Great fundamentals are expected when taught by a legendary Univ. dean.
The way Chicago helped develop Mike was in practice. The Bulls would run 5 in 5 drills where they'd switch Jordan off to the losing team & he'd play to bring the losing team back to win. So in game time his switch can never turn off he's always pushing to win.
No wasted movements yes, same reason why people dont see unnecessary flashy dribbles, he only does what is needed.
@@katrinachavez3533 Great fundamentals are expected when you have the: skill, dedication and drive that Jordan had.
It only took 3 dribbles for him to get to the rim
Jordan played on kill mode on offense and defense. Best scorer of all time and a top 10 defender of all time. Dude had a motor like we have never seen before or after.
There was a story where Jordan was up for 2 days straight, went to play golf and played a game the same day. Jordan had a motor from another stratosphere.
@@sinhnguyen8135 dude would play 10 rounds of golf in pheonix then drop 55 the next day.
Best athlete ever, most skilled player ever, (footwork, post moves, crazy reverse layups, middle range shooting, fadaways etc..) , killer winning mentality, super great defender, cluck player, plenty of accolades, quick and smooth as a cat....... BY FAR the goat.
I really enjoyed your reaction. I watched him play on tv because I lived in California and every time, I watched him It felt like the first time. He's absolutely out of this world. To this day I still get goosebumps and emotional
You're right about the toughness of the 90's. Consider this: Shaquille O'Neal was the most dominant physical force to ever play in the NBA. When he came into the league in the early 90's he was quickly surrounded with great talent. And Shaq got swept FIVE times in the playoffs by five DIFFERENT franchises in the 90's! That's how competitive the 90's were. Unlike the 80's, the 90's had great parity. ELEVEN different Franchises made it to the NBA Finals between 1990 & 1999. People only talk about the Bulls because they won the most championships in that era. But the 1990's was full of great teams.
Some of the best Hall of Famer‘s also and some of those teams always had great players on them also.. MJ didn’t play scrubs like LBJ fans will say..
Truth
Bruh during MJs era, it was must see tv. Marv Albert had us all going crazy with his commentary...& Every team had a superstar.
Its crazy cuz im watching how you react and im sitting here normal. Ive been blessed to be a bulls fan, older from chicago. Ive seen his whole career......this was the norm for me. Its crazy cuz the majority of his game was defense and am unstoppable shot. The dude was amazing
same here. we were lucky.
I guess that’s why I don’t really “react” to seeing these. When you saw it day after day, it was just “normal”. That being said, we knew he was the best (or would be mentioned with them) very early on.
"Barkley made a business decision", I've never heard that before,...nice. MJ is the reason a 5 foot four and a half inch man , picked up a basketball in his(my) 20's. I was buying MJ VHS tapes before he won his championships. I feel so privileged to have watched him become a champion. Seeing the heartbreak of loosing to the Pistons year after year, and then becoming tougher and tougher to finally beat the pistons to 3peat! Such great sports entertainment! Before every game in Chicago, hearing the intro music and watching the team introductions,....chills! Great reaction! You remind me of another reaction dude. You have some of his mannerisms and expressions,...."no Life Shaq". My opinion. Nice work.
I remember the playoff game when he had the flu and he was knocking out 3’s. He did the head shake and arms up like he didn’t know how he was doing it. I was either in 7th or 8th grade. Amazing to watch him play!
MJ's mixtape reflects how ridiculous his career was. He was a bad bad man, on both ends of the court. Even in today's era, Jordan is still on another level. Nobody has the athleticism, shooting ability, and drive of Jordan.
Facts

Curry has the shooting ability
The person who appreciated Pippen the most was Jordan. He never took the credit himself, he always shared with people no where near as great as him. No one talked about pippen being comparable to Jordan but he always deferred attention and honor to Pip.
Unfortunately for pip, he lived in Jordan shadow, pip was on another team he is Jordan of that team.but Jordan has definitely said no pip no rings.
@@swilli3476 have you seen what Pippen did with no Jordan? 1994 the Bulls replaced Jordan with three players on pippens level when Jordan retired. That 2nd to 4th best players of that 1994 team were better than anything Jordan had played with. Pippen had a better roster in 1994 than Jordan had in 1993 and won less games. He didn't have the leadership to grow a team. The longer he was the leader, the more the team crumbled.
Pippen was brilliant but not compared to the number two of most teams they came up against.
pippen didn't have an alpha mentality he was always a sidekick guy. that's why when phil jackson told him to pass the ball to kukoc in the '94 playoffs at the end of the game pippen cried and sat on the bench instead of helping his teammates. sometimes if you're the best player on the team u have to learn to kick the ball to someone else or just take the shot without permission. instead he cried, quit, and lost respect from his coach and all his teammates. jordan early in his career would have just taken the shot regardless but later he learned to listen to his coaches if he wanted to be successful. so he'd kick it to his teammates in crunch time on occasion. & tbh it really sucks that pippen talks bad about jordan now when jordan has done nothing but help him and compliment him during his entire career. mj even used to make pippen stay after practice so they could 1v1 just so he could help teach the young pippen a few things. it's sad that from pippen's perspective he feels like he was cheated in some way.
Now that I’m seeing that you do basketball reviews too. You’re witnessing how special the 90s were. You’re definitely have a 90s spirit. You like the truth, that’s why you be doing ya history on what came before you & your generation, and that’s highly admirable & respected. You’re truly a different breed. ✊🏾✌🏾👑
You and King Gvap remind me of each other. Y’all the future of us, like Pac said.
I agree with you, the music and the editing on this piece is Bar None. At the end when he was walking in as a rookie and walking in at the end of his career gives me chillz. I've watched footage over 100 times. JORDAN IS the GOAT....PERIODT!!!
I heard you mention double-teaming Jordan: It was difficult because he quickly recognized them early and reacted before the double could get set. I've seen others say, "Why even let Jordan get the ball in game-winning situations?" - Jordan was determined to get the ball.
He did get double and even triple teamed , but like you said, he was so good (and quick) at recognizing it, that he’d get around it or pass it off before it was set up.
Yup and he moved so well without the ball he could get buckets on cuts all day and his catch and shoot was unstoppable
he is literally unstoppable and does not back down. And the moment he went into the finals, there was no turning back. NO CHOKE MOMENTS so to speak.
Unstoppable 🙄🙄🙄the man was swept 3x in the first round was 1-9 without Scottie Pippen was 14-23 in the playoffs in the 80s when there were all time great teams but unstoppable in the era when Patrick Eweing and John Starks were winning 60 games 😂😂😂
@@williamalexander9485 You keep mentioning being swept in the 1st round but don't mention he has a better playoff winning percentage or finals percentage. Jordan has never even played a game 7 in the finals in going 6-0!!!

@@williamalexander9485 Were you old enough to watch the NBA during the 90s? That Suns team you're talking about had the best record in the NBA, with Barkley as the league MVP and Jordan covered him for the series. I guess Clyde Drexler was a scrub? Do your research on the Trailblazers, Sonics, Suns, Jazz rosters. Many of these teams were 9+ deep. These teams had to beat teams led by David Robinson and Hakeem.
Great reaction young man! Shaq “he scared me to death” ….Yeah Shaquille said that….Barkley “for the first time in my career I had to admit there was someone better than me” Ray Allen on the GOAT conversation “I’d take MJ everyday all day and twice on Sunday” Mike played all out every game because he felt that particular game may be the only chance someone in the stands would have to see him play. That’s special. You don’t hear that today with load management. Ahmad your love for the game is obvious. Prayers for continued success! God Bless
Micheal Jordan was so great that he made basketball popular in South America, where soccer is a religion, but it was so impressive to watch him play that you ended up watching the entire season and getting to know the other teams and players.
There's nothing wrong with having a favorite player while admiting another one as greater.
For instance, Pippen's game was so quietly smooth and complete that he became my favorite, but i still knew Jordan was better.
Again, nothing wrong with that.
Jordan was unguardable! Too big and strong for smaller defenders, too quick and explosive for bigger defenders. An absolute scoring machine. If he scored 29, we be like "Jordan had an off night"

@@allanhouston.1884 right, there's no equal to even a portion of those players today.
@allanhouston.1884 Some poor child in the comments above wanted so badly to downplay how good he was that he tried to convince himself there were no great wing defenders when he played. Poor kid
"To compete to win, that's all I live for. Cuz when you lose, you're easily forgotten and I don't think anyone wanna go to there grave forgotten." I've seen this 15 times and everytime the video starts and I hear that I get chills.. normal people like us just can't comprehend what that really means.. he was mentally on another level on top of being one of the most gifted athletes in human history all while having one of the hardest work ethics.. That's the formula for the GOAT
I like that couldn't said it better self
Mad respect to you for taking time to watch this. I find it so wild when people try to compare ANY player to MJ. They just don't get it... but now you do and it makes me happy :)
His vertical was around 49-50 but what made his athleticism look so crazy was the quickness he got up! The quickness from ground to sky was unreal.
Actually 48.
and then he had the audacity to stay up there for a bit, MJ was disrespectful to physics and regular niggas.
I'm a Jordan fan, but if he was 6 foot 6, then in order to get head high, his vertical would have to be 42". I don't think I've ever seen a dunk where his head was 6 to 8" above the rim.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Mate, you’re not a LeBron stan, you’re a basketball fan. You clearly appreciate the sport. Stans don’t care about the sport they just care about their guy. That’s not you.
Dude I'm a deadly lebron and Iversons fan but they're not ain't the goats..
Agreed.. i’ve seen the celtics and ahowtime lakers in the 80s, the jordan era in the 90.. shaq and kobe’s domination of the 2000’s, lebron and the warriors in 2010s... and i’ve never seen anyone like Mike!! He is 1 of 1...
There is always going to be a debate on who was the Best Ever? I can’t watch Basketball these days, they can’t touch one another??
@@lestatg8 MJ was definitely a 1off.. I haven't seen another one like him.. And Kobe came the closest but just wasn't to MJs level.
Agreed
I feel privileged to have watched him play. As far as when was his prime, I would say from 87-93. When he came back after retirement, his shot suffered a little, and his quickness was just a touch slower. Having said all that, he was still the best player in the world by a country mile. He was already the greatest when he retired the first time, but when he came back and 3peated again, that just cemented it for me.
Bruh I've seen this reaction a dozen times and think this is the best reaction video...keep doing your thing. Where that Olajuwon video?????
I love Lebron, he gets way more hate than he deserves. That being said, it’s not that close of a competition, it’s Jordan by a long shot.
It’s mostly lebrons attitude and comments that make people dislike him.
I think alot of it comes from us Jordan fans....when somebody TRIES to put LeBron anywhere near MJ in the GOAT conversation....it's like INSULTING TO OUR INTELLIGENCE!!
JORDAN IS THE GOAT.....BY A LONGSHOT!
@@ryanatorryanson9535 He isnt close to MJ offensively OR defensively either
@@putitinreverseterry Oh I agree. I meant why they don’t like him on a personal level.
I honestly think Lebron gets TOO much respect. Way, way too much.
MJ has the skill set of some of the elite NBA superstars now combined. Then he was thrown 30 years to the past. That's how great he was. MJ is definitely ahead of his time.
i'll never forget watching him on live TV, especially game 6 of the 98 finals. I recorded it. That last shot encompasses pretty much his entire career in one play. the perfect shot, his handles, he stole the ball after he just scored and it was the clutch shot to win the game. poetic.
Jordan was the most fundamentally sound player on both ends of the floor, the most competitive, with top level athleticism. He didn't just want to win more than anyone else, he made his teammates execute on his level to make sure they would. His ball handling, footwork, and first step quickness were underrated as well. Nobody did it better than MJ. Kobe patterned his whole game after Jordan. Kobe is Jordan with 90% of the athleticism.
Kobe is NOWHERE near Jordan. Kobe had good shooting and post game, but he did NOT dominate the way MJ did. I could write many paragraphs proving why, but will save it.
The commentators even cheering lmao. I'm so glad I was able to witness Jordan play. Great memories
He was in his prime, his whole career. Ever notice how many people are named Jordan?
I read in this old sports magazine that was laying around from like 2001. A quote from Paul Pierce. He said when he heard Mike was returning with Washington he had to put an extra hour of practice in at the gym. Thats the pressure Jordan brings as a player.
This man had a statue of himself outside of his workplace. I would've been very intimidated if I was a player then.
@@DJHobbs-nr7co fr 🐐
one of the best reactors I've ever watched on this platform
I appreciate your honesty young fella!
That's really one of the main differences between lebron and Michael Jordan. Lebron has to convince people hes the goat where other people said it about Michael Jordan.
That is because they knew Jordan was a killer and Lebron just doesn't have that killer instinct. He plays in a much less talented/softer era. That should make it easier for him to be a killer, but no. Jordan was a killer in a league full of killers..... Damn, I just said killer way to much.
@@thesparkedbrain it's not less talented but it is softer
@@HookedonChronics it is a little less talented
@@chikushodiz91 how they have more skill now, same goes for any sport really
@@HookedonChronics todays game, i see mostly flashy moves and whatnot. Talent is a gift, something that not everyone can have even if they work harder or use high technology and meds.
Skills are what athletes hone and practice. So it is not really easy to spot. I wouldnt even say which era got more talented players. Just saying the difference.
A few more details you need to know... He could run a 4.4, 40. He had some of the largest hands in the NBA while only wearing a 13 size sneaker. His actual leap was a 48 but I wouldn't be surprised if for a while in his athletic prime he hit 50. Bobby Knight said he was the greatest basketball player he'd ever seen, and said that before he ever played a game in the NBA- and he never handed out compliments to anyone. Jordan could have lead the league in any category if he chose to. He is without doubt,..... the GOAT.
I appreciate your honesty young bro..... Keeping it 💯 👊 people got to recognize theirs MJ and then start ranking everyone else.
#greatreactionvid
I like your reactions to the mixtape. You were going crazy and that was before the first Ring
MJ was and is the best he... had a move and counter move for everything you threw at him defensively. Great sound! on your video the best i have listened to on the MJ reaction videos. Great commentary too!
The rule in the NBA during Jordan’s time was DO NOT MAKE HIM MAD.. HE PLAYS BETTER THEN.
That so ture about Jordan
Ask LeBradford Smith about poking the bear haha
They had Jordan rules back then and if it wasn’t for Detroit Pistons bad boys MJ wouldn’t be the player he is.. they brought the best out of him mentally and physically.. he was a great player before that but made him A more assassin and a sniper and that killer instinct.. Don’t talk trash to him lol 😂
@@mikemccallister3915 They brought the best out of him? 😂😂😂😂Sure they did.
@@mikemccallister3915 They brought the best out of him? 😂😂😂😂Sure they did.
bruh I commented on a lot bron fandoms but bruh you got my respect and I'm MJ all the way at least you got the balls to point out you mans up and downs RESPECT
I loooooved the Bad Boys. LOVED THEM. Played hard. Didn’t whine, just got even on the court. I’m from Toronto, so for all the years before we got the Raptors, Detroit was our team, too. Lambeer was my man. Nice to meet you friend. And Jordan played like this every night. The better the competition, the better he played. In fact Magic Johnson says the best MJ shot he’s ever seen was at practice during the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, Spain with the Dream Team. Coach would play them East coast vs. West coast at practice. It’s supposedly some of the best ball he’s ever played, because his opponents were so good.
Been tellin yuh homie lebron ain’t compare to mj 🤣!!! Glad to see u up on the YT bro bless up 💯
Appreciate u Brodie 💯😂
Yep, that's Mike. God of Basketball! And the difference between him and the next person is unfortunately not small! If he had not won one NBA championship his talent would still have made him the best ever! And I used to be a Magic Johnson/Lakers fan in the 1980s! Mike was on another level!
Michael Jordan's game 1 97 buzzer beater is my favorite game winner by Michael Jordan. Not only did I force two friends who were not basketball fans to watch the game in spite of them pressuring me to go out but when he got the ball I thought to myself Michael is due for a game winner and he hits the game winner!
They'll never say it but I think my friends were grateful that I made them watch that game...
I remember him coming back and yes, he was bit rusty at first. The world was wondering if he would be the same great player and he didn't disappoint. Every game was like watching a once in a lifetime artist working his canvas. Clutch, lived for the pressure, could palm the ball, handle the ball, shoot the ball, defense, offense and seemed like every fourth quarter would turn in on almost like clockwork.
"How do you guard that" - you couldn't. That was the problem lol.
The last time he actually got his vertical officially measured was at the Olympics at age 21 and it was 48 inches. I think he could jump higher
No.. 42"
@@PowerGearPerformance no bro In 1984 with the men’s U.S. Olympic basketball team he recorded a 48” vertical
@@kingcapitalSTEELO47 nope 42" and he measured in barefooted at 6'4 7/8. Once he got with the Bulls, trainer Tim Grover got him up to 46-48". I met Jordan in personal in the summer of 1988 as rising senior in high school. He is "that black cat"
@@PowerGearPerformance Jordan had a 48 in vertical
You said it… Jordan had so many poster moments. I watched the highlights on ESPN if I missed a game just to see who he posterized that night.
Jordan was so skilled and quick (or elusive as you said). He had incredible hops plus soooo many moves. What many people fail to realize is the guy was also a nine time all NBA defensive player. Come on man!!! Who has done that? He had the whole package. But the most insane aspect is how competitive he was. As you saw in these clips, he just never let go of that gas pedal. He played every game like it was the seventh game of the NBA finals. Incredible work ethic!!!
Jordan was a Worldwide phenom. There wasn’t a corner of this world where I think they didn’t know him. I remember seeing him his first year at the MS Garden. I said, I have to come back to see this dude again. Every time he came into town, I tried to get tickets. And they were hard to come by. But thank God I got to see him a number of times live. I have yet to see any player in any team sport be that sensational.
That's why they call him "Air Jordan!!!" Lmao That was fun to watch with u! Thanks🏀🏀
Two rules: Don't make MJ mad and don't let him take off (good luck on the latter).
Good luck on the former too. Remember when he just made up a story about another player talking shit just to psych himself up?
MJ played with heart every game and every year. I watched him and all the good players since. No one close to what MJ for me. Everyone since wants to be like Mike!!!!!
Thanks MJ.. it's a perfect story
Much respect for the reaction.
Jordan = god in disguise. Quoted by magic,bird, Barkley, Kobe, shaq, lebron, and others. When he entered the league in 1984, I told people when he retires he will be the goat. Players were genuinely afraid of playing against him. Lit reaction homie mad respect.
9 seasons jordan played 82 games and one he played 80 and he averaged over 40 minutes a game too
Fun fact: from 91-98 Mike and the Bulls never lost 3 games in a row.
Fun fact it was the expansion era. There were many nights of Muggsy Bouges Manute Bol and Kelly Tripuka 🙄
@@williamalexander9485it’s not like the whole league went to the gutter afterwards.
@@k-mark9187 Just think of the 80s with the Celtics showtime lakers 76ers Pistons etc and the 90s with Patrick Eweing and John Starks winning 60 games. If that don’t say the NBA was in the gutter idk what will
@@williamalexander9485 the 90s were the golden age of the NBA. Go back to school
@@eazye519 🙄🙄🙄that’s so overrated. They claim it was Hard in the 90s but they introduced the flagrant foul rule in 91, so it was actually hard in the 80s. The NBA shortened the 3 point line in the 90s 🙄 Yea all that happened in the Golden Era 😂😂😂
Having seen him from the start, you have to know it was like this every game. Every time we watched him, we knew we would have god level. In my country the basket magasine once made an edito (can not remember the year, maybe 1992) which was explaining why it would be a great basket ball year. It was one page long, and half the page was filled with: Jordan Jordan Jordan ....
Jordan is poetry in motion period💁🏻♀️💯 amazing reaction video keep it up !… you should check Dennis Rodman vs Shaquille O’neal bcoz Rodman was also one of this key players that gave Jordan and the Bulls the edge in their second 3 peat especially in 1996 season💁🏻♀️💯💯💯
There is nobody even close. Good to see someone young take interest and open enough to admit what greatness truly is.
MJ was a perfect combination of skill, athleticism, bball IQ, and competitiveness.
Shoutouts to kingahmadtv, this is one of my favorite reactions to the Jordan mixtape.
Actually his vertical was 48", and he was 40 years old still killing it.
