I don't think i have ever seen a player where the opposing teams bench react to MJ's moves and dunks like fans in the stands.. these are professional athletes but they knew he was uniquely special.
And persons are not acknowledging that nick Wright don't have a clue how great he was ,he's just trying to erase his legacy, he's legend, don't get me wrong LeBron is not ,why I say that all the high flying moves you see today initate with mj guys use to dunk but differently LeBron is special but also soft and for a big man, geeze that's weak mj did moves that up to now haven't been done ,you never know sometimes what he would have done
Michael Jordan was poetry in motion and I wished the younger generation could have lived through this era to really comprehend just how great Michael Jordan was as a basketball player. Nothing like being in the moment and Mike work some of his magic to win the game. Brothers I'm tell y'all Mike was smooth, creative and frankly speaking out of this world on the basketball court.
"I wished the younger generation could have lived through this era to really comprehend just how great Michael Jordan was as a basketball player." I don't. Eff them, they don't and never deserved it. This is for our generation.
I find it quite hard to believe when people say Vince Carter is a better dunker than Michael Jordan. I watched the 2000 dunk contest and the 1988 dunk contest, no way I'm picking Carter over Jordan, or even Nique Wilkins for that matter.
@@nunyabusiness7927 Yes! What I like About Guys such as Jordan, "Magic" Johnson, John Stockton, Gary Payton, Charles Barkley, Larry Bird (and More) is they let their game performance and fellow peers do the talking, not fan voting!
His dunks are great but his layups were also amazing. It always looked like he hung in the air until the defender came down, then proceeded to lay it softly of the glass.
Yeah that was his best dunk in my opinion... He lost/shook two players on the baseline in route to the dunk. He rose to the occasion and foreclosed on Ewing!
It was badass no doubt but when it comes too Ewing. I really think Pippen's dunk on him in the 1994 Playoffs was sick!!! It was insane seeing Jordan just elevate and hang in the air like he did!! I'm truly blessed too have seen him play and grow up in that era!! Pippen was one hell of a dunker also not so much hang time but he sure as hell had some powerful dunks in his time also!! They were both unbelievable and played elite level on bothe ends of the floor!! You don't see that anymore really where players are elite level on offense and defense that's what makes MVP candidates in my book!!
I'll never get tired of seeing him dunk on Laimbeer, but the "dismissal of the defense" dunk was flat-out the best thing I've ever seen. I saw that game live on TV, and I almost jumped into the ceiling fan on that play...
I was only 9 years old when the bulls won their 3rd championship in 1993... I remember that like it was yesterday and we will never see anyone else ever like MJ!! Kobe was the closest you could get and Kobe himself said everything you see me do on the court is FROM HIM!! RIP Black Mamba!!! Michael was so strong and quick and that unbelievable floating ability was unmatched!! Michael could literally dunk on everyone in that era so imagine what he would do nowadays with all the 6ft 8in- 6ft 10in centers!!! They would probably make Michael retire if he played in this soft ass era of the NBA!!! I love the game of basketball with a passion and I myself being about 6ft 5 in tall tried too be like Mike.. Michael Jordan is the fucking GOAT PERIOD!!! Anyone saying Lebron is clearly got dementia!! Look what that man accomplished in his era when defense was insanely physical!! He would fucking destroy everyone in the league.. put him in Lebron's draft class I fucking guarantee you Lebron doesn't have those championships with Miami or Cleveland!!! Jordan would've been there too send him packing everytime!!! There's no player in league today that can guard Michael even with hand check.. Kiwi Leonard would probably be the best challenge for MJ and he still drops 30 on him.. Lebron is a great player I have respect for his game but he doesn't have my respect for all that I'm the GOAT BULLSHIT!!! Notice Michael has never once done that shit why because true greats let their PEERS judge that!! Guess what Lebron some of your Miami Heat teammates even picked a prime Michael Jordan if a choice between you both was available!! Lebron doesn't even pass Kobe "Black Mamba" Bryant because of that I'm THE GOAT nonsense!! If they played with Jordan era defense "hand check" allowed I'm pretty sure Scottie Pippen would give Lebron hell on defense!! Screw the size difference between them Scottie had 7ft wingspan and was so quick on the perimeter he's screwed!! Down low in post ok Dennis Rodman will handle that!! Ok I'm sure 99 percent of the real basketball fans out there agree with me... Jordan dunking on Ewing was always so awesome too see but the best dunk on Ewing has to be awarded too 33 Scottie Pippen!! 1994 Playoffs at Chicago that dunk on Ewing was fucking priceless!! Too this day in top 3 or 5 for most disrespectful insane dunks on opposition ever in history!! MJ and Pip would destroy this soft ass league today.. MJ 14 years in league including wizards years I think and accomplished a career like that!!! No comparison I rest my case sorry for this ridiculous book I wrote here!!! I have to speak the truth about a legend that I seen play since I can remember at 4 or 5 years old!! Off subject but feeling is same for baseball and I don't give a fuck about the steroids bullshit MLB should be bowing too McGwire and Sosa PERIOD!!! They fucking saved the game and that era was fucking awesome too witness!!! Steroids were in the game long before the so called Era!!! Before that players had Coke, Alcohol and Bitches so My opinion Major League Baseball should be black balled for being ungrateful bitches!! Thank you Michael Jordan for giving me the privilege of watching you play basketball and too Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa Thank you for the same privilege of watching you guys play baseball and saving the game with the home run race 1998!!! Sosa was my favorite player also I'm a true cubs fan I bleed Cubby Blue!! Best era of both sports in my opinion thank you for the memories!!!
That's true, which is why I dont get why people hate Kobe for playing the way he did. We all wanted to play like Jordan and Kobe was actually able to come somewhat close
For God so loved the world that He gave his only son, that whosoever believes on him should not perish, but have everlasting life...God loved us first, would you show your love to him. Repent and be converted. Now is the time for salvation, tomorrow may be too late.
I am still amazed how he could elevate, pause, and then elevate a little more. Watch the Ewing poster and you'll see both hands go up but as Ewing couldn't reach any further, Michael's hand goes higher. What a thing to been alive when jordon was playing basketball. So natural like flowing water
Jordan had the perfect body for a basketball player. From his height to his weight to just his overall build. And those damn big ass hands. I mean, had he not been able wrap his hand halfway around the ball he wouldn't have been able to do 90% of the things he did. Combine all that with his ability and his competitiveness I think he's the greatest and most entertaining player ever.
Connie Hawkins and Doc have those freak hands too and a lot of other attributes Jordan has/ they share in common.. but Mike just took it further than either of those guys were able to.
@@samuelhepburn2636 LOL, I was just watching another Bulls video when I noticed your comment. Yeah, Scottie was a smooth athletic player too. One of the most beautiful shots of all time imo.

When I feel down, I usually surf youtube and often stop at one of these MJ highlight videos and it always pulls me out of my depression.....I know its only basketball, but I can't get enough of his dominance of the game.....and after watching a while , it feels like he's on my team.......He is a winner ...and it rubs off a little
Jonathan Herrera shit I didn't even see that this video was 11m long lol. I was just mesmerized and reminiscing on the GOAT. Never will be another MJ. Period.
this is by far the best jordan dunk highlight video ive seen. theres so many dunks on here i havent seen!!! and ive seen countless jordan videos man DAMN he has such a collection of classic dunks. he is truly the greatest
damn right it was ALOT harder to score in the 90's compared to this watered down defensive era. just look at Kobes yearly stats. when the league played Def, kobe avg 18-19 pts per yr. the newer modern def- kobe was scoring 30 like it was nothing.
Tony JcJr I think hard defense is good, make the game more interesting. I believe it was harder to score in 80's and 90's than today. Hand checking to the back, for example, is disallowed today. Back then, that was how the defenders "controlled" the post-up players.
@@limeojmasarquee2212 He tokkin bawt Grace & artistry, that jawdropin, droolin amazement from a spectator's pt of view. Not leaping ability & power....
Bob costas said once :"is beautiful to watch, like he's game is beautiful is like an artist at work" is amazing Michael was at another level the level of artistry was off the charts
who the **** says that Vincent Carter is the best dunker of all time,there's nothing more ARTISTIC,BEAUTIFUL AND POWERFUL than watching THE GOAT slamming the ball,every play,every move,every shot it was and it is PURE JOY to watch it! !!!!!
Thank you for posting this amazing clip. Not just is Jordan probably the best player of all-time, he was so damn fun to watch. All of these dunks are pure gold but I could watch #2 all day.
Even back then, who knew that he was GOAT-ing all along? Those who were lucky enough got to see basketball at its highest heights. We got to see something mortals weren't supposed to be able to do. MJ did. He did all his dunk contest dunks in games, except the free throw line one. A gift to mankind: MJ.
He is not dunking with power but with STYLE and VERY ARTISTIC. So gracious. He is literally FLYING and I love how he do the dunk on your face like humiliating "how tall you are?"
Could you imagine Jordan playing in this era!!! It would be insane because watching what he did too 7 footers all the time!! Players now are not as big up front he would have a field day in this Era!! He would average about 45-50 points per game now!! Scottie Pippen was a hell of a dunker also and was more power dunks!! They both would be dunking on everybody all the time in this era!!
Jordan had a huge wingspan and extremely large and powerful hands. This gave him a huge advantage at playing against smaller guards. Jordan played alot bigger than his height and weight would suggest. Throw in world class speed and leaping ability and you got one physically dominate specimen. But Jordan took that a step further with a huge basketball IQ and intense competitiveness. There will always be those physically as good or better than Jordan but it's gonna be a long time till we get someone with all of his gifts.
His speed down the floor especially in his younger days was so amazing. All he needed was a yard and even with ball in hand, the speediest guards could not catch him.
I was waiting for my fav dunk, and it was #1. 🙂 I was watching the game on TV when it happened. The rivalry between Knicks and Bulls was very strong at that time, and at that point in the game it was very tense, very heated between the two teams. I think it was a series game? Everyone felt it, the stadium erupted. Incredible. 😁
Bruh Skeeter wasn't talking about just dunks. He said ''a player like him''. Not a dunker. Dr J, Vince and MJ 3 of the best dunkers. But as an all around player ? No one comes close. The GOAT.
It never gets tiring to watch Michael's highlights. He was just that special. I could hear Johnny "Red" Kerr's excitement every time Jordan gets an amazing shot or dunk. Being a longtime Bulls fan here in Chicago, I just had so much fun watching him play all these years with the Bulls. To this day, I personally don't see anyone being able to guard Michael Jordan. He was just flawless, and elevated his game like nobody else ever has. MJ, the best ever............period!!!!!🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
As a teen I had that Foul line dunk poster in my room . I used to love looking at the peoples expressions lol . Comparing anyone to Jordan is just foolish .
@oops comparing Wilt to Jordan is foolish, in modern era he would be a little better than an Andrew Bynum, I mean let's face it, Wilt's overrated, we all saw how he moved, his movesets, he garnered his stats in a grandpa competition.
@@corkystorky ok ok hold up your completely wrong we would def be an all star wilt was an incredible athlete I mean jeezus he’s faster and has better hops then some of the guards give him a month to get the new play style down and he’ll be an all star(did i mention wilt was stronger Shaquille O’Neal he lifted 500lbs and when he was 59 he lifted 476lbs)
@@murfchop9783 I'm not insulting his greatness, he definitely has that place among the greats but fans like you overrate him, proof is about what you said like 'give him a month' or something, shit, when a player played for years he has already unleashed everything he got, if he played like granpa in the granpa days no way he could play and move like Steph Curry in one month
In the 90s I watched Come Fly With Me before every home game .. it would always pump me up and Id attempt at least 2 'jelly' reverse layups per game lol .. Im so grateful to have had MJ to watch and try to emulate as a teen
I was wondering what would the #1 dunk be, and you picked my favorite one 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 That dunk was sooo nasty, it was in the the Eddie Murphy movie, “ Boomerang “! Thx for the memories!
Damn, this is the 23 reasons why he is the greatest, because he is years ahead in his time and watching him jump, fly, and dunk through defenders is fucking amazing, and is there any star players able to pull this off as much as MJ did, I guess not.
I still firmly believe Jordan is the best in game dunker ever! The one where he cocks it back while he's slanting sideways in the air is just filthy, I haven't seen anyone else replicate it.
Man Jordan was sick wit it. An absolute devastating killer. At the end of the game, come crunch time, he wasn't jumping in the air looking for people to pass the ball to. Jordan would put the nail in the coffin and hammer it all the way through it!
@@GoGetYourShinebox Very... But I like it, I like that order tho! My dunking order list would be Dr. J, Nique, Vince, then MJ. Or maybe Vince before Nique, it's kind of a toss up between the two.
@@reverendrolandthemotivatio8094 Jesus Christ died for your sins, was buried, and rose again the third day. Believe it and your sins are forgiven, you'll not perish, but instead you'll have eternal life!!!
People can talk all they want about who is the greatest player ever. But I don't think anyone can deny that Jordan is the player most everyone would choose to watch out of the candidates. He was smooth like butter and floated like an eagle. No one, and I mean no one made that fade away look so pretty! And when he dunked, he didn't just go vertical, he flew horizontal.
MJ is the the epitome of grace in motion. He was a ballerina on the court, Mozart symphony in motion, Picasso playing with his paint...simply put, MJ is the 🐐🐐🐐.
By far the best player I miss going and watching him play because you never know what the hell he was gonna do! LeBron James you can't even mention that name in the same sentence as Michael Jordan
I don't know why they keep trying to make LeBron a Michael Jordan..you can't.. there Will Never be another Michael Jordan nor Michael Jackson the greatest ever..
@@JudahTribe-lt3ur Guys as Michael Jordan, Dominique Wilkins, Vince Carter, Charles Barkley, and Kobe Bryant were able to Slam on guys taller, even Centers!
Apparently there is a point we are essentially weightless at the top of the jump, smaller the jumper and the height feet are indicators it seems to how much 'air' you get. Hey had alot of it being possibly the highest vert and being 6'5 long arms big hands, fast reflexes and I think personally under rated iq just had so many options..
I dont know, there are players who has more vertical but MJ has the biggest flair of dunking.. it is an ART with him.. and the strange thing is there is no one who can copy his style of dunking... it is a pure god-giving talent
MJ'S artistry in midair is what sets him a part. Its not just the points but how he gets the points regardless who was guarding him. He was so acrobatic and to be honest his layups are more exciting than his dunks . You can do a few hours each of his non dunks vs his dunks
Not only that my friend, he IMO was able to make it look like he "paused time" and stay up there when jumping, while others started to fall he was able (again a perception) to pause and go back to the ground after everyone else 🚀
7:36 was a perfect crossover 10:41 - #1 was the right choice... best basketball move i've ever seen. 4 different Knicks defenders tried to stop him on that play... unreal.
Hey Kobe, you was a great player. Maybe top 20 player of all time. But this video right here and his 6 championships (Two -3peats), is the reason Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time! The greatest shooting guard of all time. And the greatest competitor of all time!
yep, always my favourite. Scotties dunk on Ewing where he kicks him out out of the way during the playoffs is up there as well. Poor Patrick, he seems like a nice bloke. lol
What stood out to me was how many dunks were off steals...his defense and lightning quick hands were second to none....best defensive player ever.....there are a lot of scorers but who can do what he did.....the goat
I think Jordan's biggest fan was Magic Johnson after Jordan beat the Lakers in the finals....Magic was always the most excited one when they played together on the Dream Team...if you go back and watch some of the games Magic ALWAYS made sure Jordan had the ball....
Omar Martinez "millennials". Haters cuz they have nobody "legendary" As Jordan.steffy ?..3 pointers -strong point?!?. Something anyone can do or learn?!?😂😥😣😐🤣😃😅😭😃😅😂😅😥😅😂🤣😅😅😖😁
The intensity and emotional energy of the players in that Era was unbelievable. U ask anybody who was in that era who were they watching 👀 in the game?. Most people were watching Michael Jordan.
Aesthetics have to count for something, and no matter how many Finals appearances or titles LeBron ends up with, his drive and kick bullshit will never compare to the grace MJ had. GOAT.
You also forgot the patented Lebron flops and the 3's. If Lebron had more of that assassin mentality and played more to his strengths he would be in the conversation. For me the GOAT will always be MJ, God, and then Kobe
The scary thing is that when he loads the jump it seems (and really is) that he’s using only 70/80% of his maximum potential...this completely separate him from all the other great dunkers and gives the flying motion a totally different level.... he is recognized as a vertical of 48 inch but he actually is a 50 or probably 52 inch vertical human being🤯
Greatest player ever, period. Don't fucking argue with me.
dobbins2550 But...
+dobbins2550 he had springs in his jordans

His leaning dunk is the most beautiful dunk ever it was graceful and powerful at the same time. Nobody can do that better than him.
I've never seen anyone else do that dunk. It probably takes incredible balance (and hops) to pull that off.

there was no 3 sec def violations, handchecking was allowed, defenders could post inside the key as well as cut off driving lanes.
The greatest of all time. The guy could literally fly.
Once I see his tongue is because something amazing was coming 🤣🤣
@New Bil wrong.kobe could only better from long range n dibble a.mj n kobe not really a dabate
THE GREATEST BASKETBALL PLAYER OF ALL TIME,,,,,THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER MJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The G.O.A.T when I was really into basketball... nobody played like him in my life time
And more than like they never will either ✌🏾
There isn't a more graceful drunker than Michael Jordan. His artistry is unparalleled.
Vince Carter
@@limeojmasarquee2212 He tokkin bawt Grace & artistry, that jawdropin, droolin amazement from a spectator's pt of view. Not leaping ability & power....
Extraordinary, floating like butterfly, planning while floating in the air and then scoring!
@@bat-hunter1317 mj has a vertical leap of 48 inches while Carter is just 43.
Agreed. MJ movements, body control through the air is unmatched.
Best player in the world made history love Michael Jordan ❤️😝👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾💯😂😂
Bob costas said once :"is beautiful to watch, like he's game is beautiful is like an artist at work" is amazing Michael was at another level the level of artistry was off the charts
Execution, Domination, Inspiration!! Thank you MJ!
Every single game
Mj,you are still the man
10:15 he continues to run in mid air right to the hoop.. A true Legendary!!
Leaps and bounds above the rest till this day. Mike was awesome
I'VE REPLAYED & WATCHED #1 THE DUNK OF PAT EWING SO MANY TIMES!!!!!!
BREATHTAKING!!!!!💐💐💐💐
Imagine that being Lebron James, it is done Jordan will POWERFULLY not give him a break he will automatically put him to sit on the floor.
who the **** says that Vincent Carter is the best dunker of all time,there's nothing more ARTISTIC,BEAUTIFUL AND POWERFUL than watching THE GOAT slamming the ball,every play,every move,every shot it was and it is PURE JOY to watch it! !!!!!
Vince is the only other dunker that could put on a dunk show. But mj is the best
Carter is way miles ahead of Jordan in terms of dunking. And btw, even a washed up old VC can put wind mills.
MJ is the best in-game dunker... vince in slam dunk contest..
@@jayr1404 MJ is not the best in game dunker. There are bunch of players who's better than him on in game dunks.
You mean in actual basketball...
Thank you for posting this amazing clip. Not just is Jordan probably the best player of all-time, he was so damn fun to watch. All of these dunks are pure gold but I could watch #2 all day.
Even back then, who knew that he was GOAT-ing all along? Those who were lucky enough got to see basketball at its highest heights. We got to see something mortals weren't supposed to be able to do. MJ did. He did all his dunk contest dunks in games, except the free throw line one.
A gift to mankind: MJ.
He is not dunking with power but with STYLE and VERY ARTISTIC. So gracious. He is literally FLYING and I love how he do the dunk on your face like humiliating "how tall you are?"
Could you imagine Jordan playing in this era!!! It would be insane because watching what he did too 7 footers all the time!! Players now are not as big up front he would have a field day in this Era!! He would average about 45-50 points per game now!! Scottie Pippen was a hell of a dunker also and was more power dunks!! They both would be dunking on everybody all the time in this era!!
Jordan had a huge wingspan and extremely large and powerful hands. This gave him a huge advantage at playing against smaller guards. Jordan played alot bigger than his height and weight would suggest. Throw in world class speed and leaping ability and you got one physically dominate specimen. But Jordan took that a step further with a huge basketball IQ and intense competitiveness. There will always be those physically as good or better than Jordan but it's gonna be a long time till we get someone with all of his gifts.
Exactly. Not to mention strength. Notice how he bumps or leans into players as he dunks
MJ. the best ever. not even debatable
God=Lord Jesus Christ is the best ever as we all will see why when we all meet Him on judgement day.
The dunk vs mutumbo was epic , mj the GOAT hands f down, mad love from ALGERIA 🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿
Poor Gerald Wilkins. No matter what team he played for, MJ found a way to always put him on a poster
.....jjajjajja....chill bro...jjajjajja....true very very true...stay safe and peace to all....
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I do remember that Gerald was coined the “Jordan Stopper”...until the very first time he had to face him
Michael Jordan is the best of all time! like it or not.
Like it!!!
@Kisa Vorobianinov average?.. What birth year are you?
His speed down the floor especially in his younger days was so amazing. All he needed was a yard and even with ball in hand, the speediest guards could not catch him.
And people think Lebron could have guarded this man? There were times three people couldn't guard him!
LeBron had tuff time even guarding Kobe
He had an even HARDER time guarding Jason Terry. 😅🤣🥱😂
Marc Avery went there. I love it!
@@shawnturbeville994 Lebron can't even guard lucka
I was waiting for my fav dunk, and it was #1. 🙂 I was watching the game on TV when it happened. The rivalry between Knicks and Bulls was very strong at that time, and at that point in the game it was very tense, very heated between the two teams. I think it was a series game? Everyone felt it, the stadium erupted. Incredible. 😁
Yeah '91 playoffs game 3
Awesome footage, one of the best GOAT video's on here. There will NEVER EVER be another Michael Jordan.
We will never see one like him. Lucky to have seen the greatest growing up in Chicago.
Look at Julius Irvin dunks and highlights. He did it long before Jordan.
Bruh Skeeter wasn't talking about just dunks. He said ''a player like him''. Not a dunker. Dr J, Vince and MJ 3 of the best dunkers. But as an all around player ? No one comes close. The GOAT.
Ty Alex
Ok. You are right.
I saw his 3 years finals 1996 - 1998. The best moment from NBA
Michael Jordan will always be one of a kind player.
yes
He was a virtuoso that could change his shot decision while in the air, 2 or 3 times. Unreal. He was the Pele' of basketball.
It never gets tiring to watch Michael's highlights. He was just that special. I could hear Johnny "Red" Kerr's excitement every time Jordan gets an amazing shot or dunk. Being a longtime Bulls fan here in Chicago, I just had so much fun watching him play all these years with the Bulls. To this day, I personally don't see anyone being able to guard Michael Jordan. He was just flawless, and elevated his game like nobody else ever has. MJ, the best ever............period!!!!!🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
Mike Tyson and Michael Jordan have similar expressions and looks when fighting.
As a teen I had that Foul line dunk poster in my room . I used to love looking at the peoples expressions lol . Comparing anyone to Jordan is just foolish .
c christmas
@oops comparing Wilt to Jordan is foolish, in modern era he would be a little better than an Andrew Bynum, I mean let's face it, Wilt's overrated, we all saw how he moved, his movesets, he garnered his stats in a grandpa competition.
@@corkystorky ok ok hold up your completely wrong we would def be an all star wilt was an incredible athlete I mean jeezus he’s faster and has better hops then some of the guards give him a month to get the new play style down and he’ll be an all star(did i mention wilt was stronger Shaquille O’Neal he lifted 500lbs and when he was 59 he lifted 476lbs)
I’m not saying he would be better then Jordan or anything I’m just saying your kinda insulting his greatness
@@murfchop9783 I'm not insulting his greatness, he definitely has that place among the greats but fans like you overrate him, proof is about what you said like 'give him a month' or something, shit, when a player played for years he has already unleashed everything he got, if he played like granpa in the granpa days no way he could play and move like Steph Curry in one month
In the 90s I watched Come Fly With Me before every home game .. it would always pump me up and Id attempt at least 2 'jelly' reverse layups per game lol .. Im so grateful to have had MJ to watch and try to emulate as a teen
And millions of others around the world
I was wondering what would the #1 dunk be, and you picked my favorite one 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
That dunk was sooo nasty, it was in the the Eddie Murphy movie, “ Boomerang “!
Thx for the memories!
8:52 when opponent bench are amazed by the dunk but then realize and try back to silent position
Just when you think he's at the apex of his jump, he elevates higher. That's what made his jumping look like flying
Explosive Candy His hangtime was insane.
He’s still going up as others are coming back down...
Damn, this is the 23 reasons why he is the greatest, because he is years ahead in his time and watching him jump, fly, and dunk through defenders is fucking amazing, and is there any star players able to pull this off as much as MJ did, I guess not.
I still firmly believe Jordan is the best in game dunker ever!
The one where he cocks it back while he's slanting sideways in the air is just filthy, I haven't seen anyone else replicate it.
No one has. It requires a high degree of body control, hops, and big hands
Yeah I strongly agree with you!
Man Jordan was sick wit it. An absolute devastating killer. At the end of the game, come crunch time, he wasn't jumping in the air looking for people to pass the ball to. Jordan would put the nail in the coffin and hammer it all the way through it!
I got Vince Carter, Dominique and then Jordan. But Jordan had a unique style that's for sure
@@GoGetYourShinebox Very... But I like it, I like that order tho! My dunking order list would be Dr. J, Nique, Vince, then MJ. Or maybe Vince before Nique, it's kind of a toss up between the two.
I’ll never get enough of his highlights
JORDAN the absolute ultimate ever. lot.of legends out there but no one ever looked as good as jordan while in actikn.
action

So blessed to have grown up watching this man....wow.
I feel the exact same way. I’m still rocking that Jordan gear like I was in ‘90 at 13 years old. Not much has changed in the world :)
The most creative dunker of all time. The most clutch player. GOAT.
Beautiful! Simply beautiful!
People can talk all they want about who is the greatest player ever. But I don't think anyone can deny that Jordan is the player most everyone would choose to watch out of the candidates. He was smooth like butter and floated like an eagle. No one, and I mean no one made that fade away look so pretty! And when he dunked, he didn't just go vertical, he flew horizontal.
I can't never get enough of this
The greatest then, now and in 100yrs
GOAT was pure poetry in motion. I'd have the dunk where he broke the backboard as my top 3
Chamberlain is the GOAT !
@@troyalan4956 agreed
the real goat ever …shame on u bron
@@mohammaddave1461 nah not on bron, on his dumbass fans for even thinking lbj measures up to this
The GOAT! These youngins have no clue!
MJ is the the epitome of grace in motion. He was a ballerina on the court, Mozart symphony in motion, Picasso playing with his paint...simply put, MJ is the 🐐🐐🐐.
By far the best player I miss going and watching him play because you never know what the hell he was gonna do! LeBron James you can't even mention that name in the same sentence as Michael Jordan
I don't know why they keep trying to make LeBron a Michael Jordan..you can't.. there Will Never be another Michael Jordan nor Michael Jackson the greatest ever..
Jordan Unbelievable
@@johndavis9799 Man U can say that a million times over! Soooo True!👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
@@JudahTribe-lt3ur
Guys as Michael Jordan, Dominique Wilkins, Vince Carter, Charles Barkley, and Kobe Bryant were able to Slam on guys taller, even Centers!
@@samueltullis806 You’re right
And he was not only dunks, he played great def, high IQ for the game, decent outside shooter and passer. Dude was like a team in one person.
#2 dunk is my #1 dunk. He is the GOAT.
#10 is just uncanny. The reaction time, the adjustment, and the hang time. Nobody in today's NBA comes even close.
Everytime MJ jumps, it's almost like he just stays up there. I'm honestly convinced he has some sort of supernatural power.
You got that right
Apparently there is a point we are essentially weightless at the top of the jump, smaller the jumper and the height feet are indicators it seems to how much 'air' you get.
Hey had alot of it being possibly the highest vert and being 6'5 long arms big hands, fast reflexes and I think personally under rated iq just had so many options..
Strong legs, light upper body, big hands, strong muscle fibres, great sense of balance, near psychopathic will to win etc etc. Jordan just had it all
he also tucks his hips when he jumps
I remember watching the game for dunk number 4 and I fell back in my chair! I was like DAMN JORDAN!!!
I dont know, there are players who has more vertical but MJ has the biggest flair of dunking.. it is an ART with him.. and the strange thing is there is no one who can copy his style of dunking... it is a pure god-giving talent
G.O.A.T.
was good to see Pippen and MJ playing together .
very strong man. first step,explosiveness,fearless,smooth,dunk contest worthy dunks during games, those Carmine's are one of my favorite pairs
MJ'S artistry in midair is what sets him a part. Its not just the points but how he gets the points regardless who was guarding him. He was so acrobatic and to be honest his layups are more exciting than his dunks . You can do a few hours each of his non dunks vs his dunks
Timeless…no matter how long time goes by hes gameplay will never expire
Michael Jordan can fly!
Yea ik
Not only that my friend, he IMO was able to make it look like he "paused time" and stay up there when jumping, while others started to fall he was able (again a perception) to pause and go back to the ground after everyone else 🚀
*could
Its because he got long legs so that's why he can jump high and fly
7:36 was a perfect crossover
10:41 - #1 was the right choice... best basketball move i've ever seen. 4 different Knicks defenders tried to stop him on that play... unreal.
+jon Q Wide cross over right into that huge explosion is just not fair......at all
Agreed #1 is still the best move I've Sen
The knicks thought they.had him trapped and then presto it's a ewing facial
7:57 #8 is my favorite.
N.B.A: Never Before Again will we ever see another Michael Jordan; THE GOAT!
Hey Kobe, you was a great player. Maybe top 20 player of all time. But this video right here and his 6 championships (Two -3peats), is the reason Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time! The greatest shooting guard of all time. And the greatest competitor of all time!
Yesssss
@@gavinoctavien1400 -Wilt and LeBron are every bit as great as Michae,l and the stats back it up!
Vern Pascal no they aren’t as good as MJ. And definitely not as fun to watch. Plus no one over 6”10 should be in the top 5
Top 20?? He's top 5 at worst
@@vernpascal1531🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 LMAO!!!! YOU ARE DELUSIONAL!!! Lebron cannot touch JORDAN!!!!!!!!
Moving art with a touch of violence. His game was from another dimension. Best ever.
Heck yeah man he was!!!!
That's the best way to describe it lol
#1 was always one of my favorites. It has everything, including the complete humiliation of Patrick Ewing.
yep, always my favourite. Scotties dunk on Ewing where he kicks him out out of the way during the playoffs is up there as well.
Poor Patrick, he seems like a nice bloke. lol
I’ll give it to Patrick, tho. He and his Knicks never backed down and they were never intimidated
What stood out to me was how many dunks were off steals...his defense and lightning quick hands were second to none....best defensive player ever.....there are a lot of scorers but who can do what he did.....the goat
I think Jordan's biggest fan was Magic Johnson after Jordan beat the Lakers in the finals....Magic was always the most excited one when they played together on the Dream Team...if you go back and watch some of the games Magic ALWAYS made sure Jordan had the ball....
Most definitely. Larry and Magic both knew that Mike was next in line to dominate
Oh the ball always goes to Jordan during that time he has the most reliable hands !!
65 people are idiots for not liking this legend
Omar Martinez 285 lol

The idiots are multiplying!!
Omar Martinez "millennials". Haters cuz they have nobody "legendary" As Jordan.steffy ?..3 pointers -strong point?!?. Something anyone can do or learn?!?😂😥😣😐🤣😃😅😭😃😅😂😅😥😅😂🤣😅😅😖😁
they're kids still playing pokemon believing that lbj is better..
The intensity and emotional energy of the players in that Era was unbelievable. U ask anybody who was in that era who were they watching 👀 in the game?. Most people were watching Michael Jordan.
Best athlete in sport history.
Aesthetics have to count for something, and no matter how many Finals appearances or titles LeBron ends up with, his drive and kick bullshit will never compare to the grace MJ had. GOAT.
jazon345 not only MJ was the best ever ! He also was the most elegant basketball player the world ever seen
You don't fully appreciate it until you see him in slow motion. Can't say that about other great dunkers.
And Kobe was even more graceful
You also forgot the patented Lebron flops and the 3's. If Lebron had more of that assassin mentality and played more to his strengths he would be in the conversation. For me the GOAT will always be MJ, God, and then Kobe
@@sdawg4834 I agree!
Lebron has the elegance and style of a fucking African Buffalo, whereas His Airness was pure class and a treat to the eye. MJ is the GOAT.
man im laughing my azz off....AFRICAN BUFFALO!!!
prad s nooooooooooooooooooooo he didn't😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀💀
legenf mj ay hindi mawawala at tatatak parin sa puso namin galing ni idol
The best organized video highlights set up of JORDAN, well done! 👌🏽👍🏽👏🏽💯
This is a real king!
Only three words: POETRY IN MOTION
The scary thing is that when he loads the jump it seems (and really is) that he’s using only 70/80% of his maximum potential...this completely separate him from all the other great dunkers and gives the flying motion a totally different level.... he is recognized as a vertical of 48 inch but he actually is a 50 or probably 52 inch vertical human being🤯
LOVE THE TRACK chosen for the dunks!!! great video!!!
