Dennis Rodman said he'd average 50 and Mark Jackson said MJ would average whatever he wanted to average including 50, which i also agree. anything under 40 means the bulls would have such a big lead mj would sit early. 6'6 with a 48" vertical and could run a 4.3 40. th-cam.com/users/source2VnWXVw7P3Q/shorts?bp=8gU1CikSJwoLMlZuV1hWdzdQM1ESCzJWbldYVnc3UDNRGgsyVm5XWFZ3N1AzUSiHp9CKwf2062Y%253D
MJ is the ONLY player in NBA history to lead the league in Scoring, win MVP And Defensive Player Of the Year in the SAME SEASON. In today’s soft rules, MJ would have no difficulties taking his game to higher levels with no hand checking, centers wouldn’t be a threat, even at age 35-40, he could score average 50, because he would only need to take and make (3 or 4)3’s because his midrange would be even easier.

I'm 48 years old from chicago born and raised and I'm telling yall this was Michael Jordan every night when he played just imagined how he would do them in the league today because no one has hang time like him nor can they dunk like that... After all these years its funny to see that Michael Jordan is still apart of the conversation... and he's one of the few players from back in the day that the new generation of NBA fans would love to see play.. Trust me he was something to see Kobe was the closest thing to Mike
Yep. Back then, we watched every televised game on WGN, Sportsvision, national TV, whatever. We knew to plan everything around the game. Jordan was as much "Must See TV" as you could get.
I'm 53 and from Cali but I had WGN so I can verify that your comment of "every night" is a fact. And that's what we appreciated about Mike. No load management. The guy played extremely hard at both ends, even if he was tired, sick or hurt. He played all 82 games in a season the majority of his career. His mental fortitude was insane! #GOAT
This is what the younger generation doesnt know about MJ. He was a killer, he wasnt just shoes and a name, bro was a KILLER on the court. No one fears Lebron... Players feared MJ. The stories from other players (The Kevin Garnett one is great), nothing comes close... Kobe is the closest I've seen to Jordan.
Jordan had the mental of a killer in serial. Mentally the black cat was a Manson maniac. Bron's cerebral is feeble. Mental is pure vaginal. And that's why he needs multitudes of All-Stars aka super-teams to win chips.
LeBron routinely quits on his team. Rarely plays a full game. MJ played the entire game, every game. Plus, LeBron is talking a buttload of EPO and HGH and still cannot compete against MJ.
He averaged 37.1ppg in his 3rd season and he did that whilst averaging 0.8 3PA - he would easily average high 40s in todays game because you couldn't touch him whereas when he played you could hand check and big men could wait for you under the basketball and physically defend you in ways that then might get you called for a foul but today would get you ejected from the game with a suspension.
In THIS league, he would get 59-60s every night. The only reason he wouldn’t is because he would be too tired scoring so many points every night and would take a break giving someone else on his team a chance to score.

I know this was a highlight reel, but Michael played like this for entire games. He never let down. He was total energy and strength. I am 74 years old. I’ve seen a lot of basketball in my lifetime. No one comes close to Michael. Kobe played a lot like Mike, but he still wasn’t quite as good. If you can find it, watch the clip where Carl Malone and Dennis Rodman get after each other.

@@katrinachavez3533 I still remember them asking Chuck Daily how they would stop MJ. Chuck immediately said nobody can stop MJ; we only hope to contain him.
The thing about guarding Jordan is that defenders who were the same size as him or taller, would have trouble staying in front of him. So usually it was better to have smaller defenders like Dumars or Gary Payton defend him as they were just the right size to try and stay in front of him and maybe disrupt his dribble. Byron Scott had some success against Jordan too. His secret was to play nice and not make Jordan angry. No cap. That's literally what he said!
There are so many more highlights. There is no one video that can cover all of them. When Jordan played, you weren't watching a game, you were watching an event. Jordan would eat today's players alive, LeBron included.
MJ's 1987-1988 NBA Season Awards: MVP, All-Star, All-NBA First Team, All-NBA Defensive First Team, Steals Leader, Defensive Player of the Year, Slam Dunk Contest Champion, Scoring Champion, All-Star Game MVP. Lebron has never had a season like this.
I'm from the Chi and watch MJ since college to Retirement. Note this, during this time many Centers and Forwards played with their backs to the basket and Jordan would blow past the guards, so the majority of folks he dunked on were mostly Forwards and Centers. Today's dunkers have a clear path with little resistance to the dunk.
Mj rookie year was better that 99-100 % of the league in there prime. Yall still believe LBJ better than him yall need to see a psych. Mj better than Lebron off the strength of his defense. Mj was a better versatile scorer hand down better shot creator the list goes on. Oh 9 or ten scoring titles. MJ da 🐐.
He leans when he dunks because it looks like a superhero flying. You can see the bottom of his feet when he does certain dunks. Larry Bird said that its god disguised as michael Jordan. Jordan never defended anyone that needed to be double-teamed. He use to tell people how much he was going to score on them.
Michael Jordan played 15 seasons for the Bulls and Wizards. He averaged 30.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 2.3 steals in 1,072 regular-season games. He was selected to play in 14 All-Star games. He won the Rookie of the Year award, 1 Defensive Player of the Year award, 5 MVP awards, 6 Finals MVP awards and 6 NBA championships in 6 appearances.
MJ averaged 37.1 at a slower pace, with around 1 3pa per game on 50% shooting, we gotta take the centres into count in 80's and 90s and no 3-sec paint rule. He would walk to 40 ppg. Edit: he averaged 40 ppg in series, in Finals too.
Jordan worked so hard on the offensive end the difference is he didn't rest on defense..So if you're the best offensive player the best defensive player who's better than him again??
Ikr. That's what I try to get the Bron fans to understand. Mike literally had zero weaknesses in his game...I mean zero. Aint nobody fckn with the perfect player.
The thing that amazes about MJ is yeah he has a 48” vert. But he also floated or hung in the air longer than everybody. Look at the shot over Ehlo they both jumped at the same time but Ehlo is going down and Jordan is hanging like he suspended in the air for a second or two before he comes down. So it looks like he out jumped Ehlo but he really didn’t he just stay up in the air longer!
Did this man just say he could average 35? Bro Harden averaged 35. MJ Averaged 37 in a league that was much tougher. This man could legitimately average between 45-50 in todays age and thats not hyperbole.
Jordan would average more points now than he did in his day. He'd be averaging 20 points a game on free throws alone. Oh, and remove the tragic murder of his father, and Jordan would have EIGHT rings. I have ZERO doubt about that belief. He played baseball during arguably his 2 most athletic years?!?! And bookended that madness with 2 3 peats. Just ridiculous!
I was 7 when I started watching the NBA! Everyone was waiting for him to turn on their televisions ... Kobe Bryant was the closest to his style of play. MJ is the king of basketball! Greetings from Poland...
Jordan averaged 40 for the entire playoff series 6 times in his era. He average 50 in this era. No hand check, empty paint, more fouls. Add to that his defense 100 block and 200 steal a year, put guys on lockdown, guy like Dumars, Patton, and Drexler. He would have had a longer career today cause they beat him up back then. Best record...Only. 5 people in NBA history have won the championship and the scoring title in the same year...Fulks 47'...mikan 49' to 50'... Abdul-Jabbar 71' and O'Neil 00'....Jordan 91' 92', 93', 96', 97', 98'... He did it every championship and more that the rest combined. And he player every game like that, this mixtape could be days long. Even when he was kick your teams were ass( from Michigan believe me I know) it was worth it to watch. Like Barry Sanders.
Spud Webb and Dominique Wilkins were legit dunkers in the late 80s. And props to the old players, they jumped up to try and block. Hardly anyone today would! And plenty of folks could shoot, just not as many 3s were taken. It was more, take a 2 for the guaranteed points rather than miss a 3. Remember a lot of these guys only had the 3 point line when they got to the league!
As soon as the middle dude grabs his phone to search for who had the highest vertical in NBA history, right in the middle of CRAZY highlights... I was OUT. It's a REACTION video... you can check that sh*t out AFTER you WATCH and REACT!
And what ya'll have to remember, is that the game back then was more physical. Only because the centers back then,not all but most got paid for being a physical body in the paint. To keep everyone else out of the paint. And scoring easy buckets. But in today's game, not to knock anyone. But the centers have better jump shots. And play outside instead of inside the paint which makes it easier to score. But if you notice, Jordan is in the paint when centers were paid to keep people out of the paint. And these are 7 footers, and multiple people he's dunking on. He has the highest vertical jump in NBA history with a 48 vertical jump, and averaged 30 points a game dealing with that physicality. He would have easily averaged 50 points in today's game .
Thinking someone could guard Michael Jordan is like thinking there was someone Deion Sanders couldn't cover or someone Greg Maddux couldn't strike out.
Is there something wrong with the dude on the left? I feel bad for the other guys trying to watch this and all this guy keeps doing is talking loud about things that either don’t matter, make no sense or just keep repeating the same joke over and over to try and be funny. Pausing the video just to make a weird joke about weight lighting. Just watch the highlight reel! You can tell how annoyed they’re getting. Dude in the middle was trying to listen to the opening and all this guy kept doing was talking. This was hard super to watch.
In today’s no defense league, Jordan could score as many points as the coach would let him take shots at Because he was unstoppable when they played very physical contact defense.
Small feet (US13) for mobility, In the top 10 hand sizes of all time, 2.1m wingspan on a 6.6ft frame, combined with a 48" vertical and passion for the game equal to no other.... You know that pick up line you say to girls like "you're so perfect that God broke the mold after he created you" (cheesy i know).... But i think this applies to Jordan as a basketball player 😁
No other SG was like MJ, imagine D Wade lvl shasher, but 6'6 with big hands, higher vertical and better finishing ability, better defensively and add on that Kobe's footwork, insane post up game and Mid range shooting efficiency over 50% on high volume and you get MJ.
Here’s the difference in Jordan and everyone else. ❤ he refused to lose. Never lost a final while guys tried to hurt him every game. No one close, no one. He never played on one of these super team with 3-5 of the best players in the league. 🐐
Like Byron Scott said, "I try and kill him with kindness, he hit's a shot on me, I'll be Great shot Mike! Because you don't wanna piss him off, and let him get 50!"
Best thing about living in Indy as a kid was being able to go to a random Pacers game that turned into Jordan's comeback game. There was a special energy in the arena that night even though it was a road game for The Bulls.
Would love to see you guys react to Michael Jordan's trash talking stories. Just alot of greats getting upset by him on the court. Thanks for the content, keep it up.
What's amazing is he shoots over 50% from mid range, this is why you see him just blow by people and pump fakes everybody. With his quickness and athleticism, it's impossible to guard him when he can shoot the mid range jumper at such a high percentage.
The thing about No. 23 is that every single game was a highlight reel. He was and is the most athletic, skilled, and electric player to have ever put his hand on the ball. One word that sums up Michael Jordan that separates him from any other player is “Determined”. You just can’t teach that.
I'm sorry. We have to be real. I have appreciation for the game. Every generation. I am old school. I grew up watching Jordan play. And we have to be real! No one before or after Jordan can knock Jordan off the throne. It's Jordan.. then everyone else. I wouldn't be able to argue if you put kobe or LeBron at 2. That's when the debate really starts. Jordan didn't have a weakness. One year he won the scoring title and won defensive player of the year! He has the most scoring titles.. the most mvps.. he's better at defense. Better At scoring. Undefeated in the finals. No matter where he was on the court.. the offensive or defensive side.. he was the best player and the most feared on the court. Jordan only played 15 years and accomplished more. If he wouldn't have retired because of his father's murder.. the rockets wouldn't have had a chance to win those 2 titles. Those would have belonged to Chicago with the rest of the 1990s. They would have completely dominated a decade of the nba. We don't even have to mention that the game is easier nowadays. Every sport is easier than it was in the 90s. They make it as hard as they can on the defense because more scoring equals more excitement. They did it to football and they did it to basketball. Jordan would average 45 in today's NBA. More if he wanted to. For real. Prime Jordan would be literally unstoppable in today's game. We have to all just come to reality here.. and its ok. LeBron is great! Kobe is great! Thats my top three. But number one is Jordan. It doesn't matter when LeBron takes over all time scoring.. it doesn't matter if he manages to maybe win one more title (won't happen). Jordan still accomplished more with more consistency in a shorter period of time. You will never be able to change that. We as basketball fans need to realize truth. Jordan is.. our basketball God amongst men.
He could average 35. Sorry, still laughing. He would average between 40-50. Look up all the NBA players talking about it. Jordan hardly even used the 3pt back then (side note: later in his career his average from the 3 skyrocketed) He'd add that to this game and imagine how often he'd go the free point line today. Seriously. Back then, it was high contact, not like today. He had it ALL. MVP defence AND offence most steals, and I think it was the most blocks, in the SAME season. Think on that. And his fitness coach actually says he was doing 50-inch verticals, but it was never made official. Only official recording was 48. He simply had it all. EXCEPT, he was a bad dude. Scary. Some might argue he was too aggressive and would make everything personal. For example. If LeBron and he were in the same league today, and LeBron said ANYTHING that MJ could take personal.... Just... I mean... LeBron is great, awesome, but as big as he is, MJ would absolutely do anything within his skill set, to destroy the man. Remember, as Shaq said, MJ was scary. The only player he was scared to play against.
Players at the time were terrified of Mj. Vernon Maxwell once said he would not sleep the day before MJ, because he knew he would get humiliated and dunked on. For the 48 vertical, i do not think i ever saw MJ with the head above the rim.
How much would Jordan average today?

50 plus easily he was a straight killer
40-43…..if he had to.
MJ is the ONLY player in NBA history to lead the league in Scoring, win MVP And Defensive Player Of the Year in the SAME SEASON. In today’s soft rules, MJ would have no difficulties taking his game to higher levels with no hand checking, centers wouldn’t be a threat, even at age 35-40, he could score average 50, because he would only need to take and make (3 or 4)3’s because his midrange would be even easier.

Look at the shot over Ehlo they both jumped at the same time but Ehlo is going down and Jordan is hanging like he suspended in the air for a second or two before he comes down. So it looks like he out jumped Ehlo but he really didn’t he just stay up in the air longer!
Did this man just say he could average 35? Bro Harden averaged 35. MJ Averaged 37 in a league that was much tougher. This man could legitimately average between 45-50 in todays age and thats not hyperbole.
"These are highlights" and they happened in EVERY game.
There’s stories MJ walked into opponents locker rooms telling them how much he was dropping
Michael Jordan THE GREATEST.... EVERRRRR
In the 90s we watched Basketball on TV all together in Germany. When MJ was gone we just stoped watching Basketball in Germany. Thats it.
Jordan would average more points now than he did in his day. He'd be averaging 20 points a game on free throws alone.
Oh, and remove the tragic murder of his father, and Jordan would have EIGHT rings. I have ZERO doubt about that belief. He played baseball during arguably his 2 most athletic years?!?! And bookended that madness with 2 3 peats. Just ridiculous!
The size of his hands was his most underrated gift
You really can't experience it unless she was around thirty five years ago to watch his career legendary status michael jordan
You guys should check out "Michael Jordan rare footage (voyager)". This video is better than the one you'd watched.
Look at the people who came to see Michael Jordan played basketball and live to see it
I was 7 when I started watching the NBA! Everyone was waiting for him to turn on their televisions ... Kobe Bryant was the closest to his style of play. MJ is the king of basketball! Greetings from Poland...
About time these youngsters doing the eye check to see it's not even close
Nobody in the history of sports has a better highlight wheel than MJ
Jordan averaged 40 for the entire playoff series 6 times in his era. He average 50 in this era. No hand check, empty paint, more fouls. Add to that his defense 100 block and 200 steal a year, put guys on lockdown, guy like Dumars, Patton, and Drexler. He would have had a longer career today cause they beat him up back then. Best record...Only. 5 people in NBA history have won the championship and the scoring title in the same year...Fulks 47'...mikan 49' to 50'... Abdul-Jabbar 71' and O'Neil 00'....Jordan 91' 92', 93', 96', 97', 98'... He did it every championship and more that the rest combined. And he player every game like that, this mixtape could be days long. Even when he was kick your teams were ass( from Michigan believe me I know) it was worth it to watch. Like Barry Sanders.
Spud Webb and Dominique Wilkins were legit dunkers in the late 80s. And props to the old players, they jumped up to try and block. Hardly anyone today would! And plenty of folks could shoot, just not as many 3s were taken. It was more, take a 2 for the guaranteed points rather than miss a 3. Remember a lot of these guys only had the 3 point line when they got to the league!
As soon as the middle dude grabs his phone to search for who had the highest vertical in NBA history, right in the middle of CRAZY highlights... I was OUT. It's a REACTION video... you can check that sh*t out AFTER you WATCH and REACT!
Prime Jordan vs anyone on the court is like a real life slasher film. We'd love to see the game, none of us wanna get beat like that.
And what ya'll have to remember, is that the game back then was more physical. Only because the centers back then,not all but most got paid for being a physical body in the paint. To keep everyone else out of the paint. And scoring easy buckets. But in today's game, not to knock anyone. But the centers have better jump shots. And play outside instead of inside the paint which makes it easier to score. But if you notice, Jordan is in the paint when centers were paid to keep people out of the paint. And these are 7 footers, and multiple people he's dunking on. He has the highest vertical jump in NBA history with a 48 vertical jump, and averaged 30 points a game dealing with that physicality. He would have easily averaged 50 points in today's game .
MJ MJ all the way no one can be compare! MJ the best of the best
Thinking someone could guard Michael Jordan is like thinking there was someone Deion Sanders couldn't cover or someone Greg Maddux couldn't strike out.
The reel by voyager is even better. Shows more of his well rounded game.
MJ is the most dominant 2 way player in history. That’s why he’s the Goat!
Is there something wrong with the dude on the left? I feel bad for the other guys trying to watch this and all this guy keeps doing is talking loud about things that either don’t matter, make no sense or just keep repeating the same joke over and over to try and be funny. Pausing the video just to make a weird joke about weight lighting. Just watch the highlight reel! You can tell how annoyed they’re getting. Dude in the middle was trying to listen to the opening and all this guy kept doing was talking. This was hard super to watch.
Jordan is the goat hands down bro. Y’all watching highlights just imagine in person and he has the accolades
Micheal Jordan best defensive guard ever.
MJ is the greatest player that has ever lived in my humble opinion
Kobe wasn’t dunking on cats like MJ…not even close
I’m glad Lebrun fans get to see why MJ is Air Jordan. No flops ever!
Are you crazy that first dunk was from the free throw line
MJ told Greg Minor "I should make you take my shoes off!" LOL and he told Lebron that he's the greatest because your kids are wearing MY shoes.
He wasn't the only one jumping like that. Dominique Wilkins was as well.
In today’s no defense league, Jordan could score as many points as the coach would let him take shots at Because he was unstoppable when they played very physical contact defense.
Dude on the left love the sound of his own voice lol
Right so annoying like shut up for 2 minutes
MJ is undisputed GOAT, no one even come close not Lebron and Kobe.
MJ is the GOAT!!
I was blessed to watch this man grace the basketball courts in the 90's HE IS THE GOAT
Small feet (US13) for mobility, In the top 10 hand sizes of all time, 2.1m wingspan on a 6.6ft frame, combined with a 48" vertical and passion for the game equal to no other.... You know that pick up line you say to girls like "you're so perfect that God broke the mold after he created you" (cheesy i know).... But i think this applies to Jordan as a basketball player 😁
Jordon embraced his baldness, your king hides his with paint and headbands😂😂😂
No other SG was like MJ, imagine D Wade lvl shasher, but 6'6 with big hands, higher vertical and better finishing ability, better defensively and add on that Kobe's footwork, insane post up game and Mid range shooting efficiency over 50% on high volume and you get MJ.
Players in jordan era are tough as shit....
That was the last era of street kids entering the league. Now its coddled AAU factory kids and nepo babies.
A a rookie MJ led the league in total points. Dayum.
Here’s the difference in Jordan and everyone else. ❤ he refused to lose. Never lost a final while guys tried to hurt him every game. No one close, no one. He never played on one of these super team with 3-5 of the best players in the league. 🐐
Like Byron Scott said, "I try and kill him with kindness, he hit's a shot on me, I'll be Great shot Mike! Because you don't wanna piss him off, and let him get 50!"
Best thing about living in Indy as a kid was being able to go to a random Pacers game that turned into Jordan's comeback game. There was a special energy in the arena that night even though it was a road game for The Bulls.
The Pros said MJ would average between 45 to 5o.
James Harden was averaging 35 in today's game and he isn't nowhere near the level of MJ
He Dominated an era of nba LEGENDS. DUDE WAS THE TRUTH
Jordan's best year he averaged 43 in the playoffs
Would love to see you guys react to Michael Jordan's trash talking stories. Just alot of greats getting upset by him on the court. Thanks for the content, keep it up.
Listen to the ex NBA players. There was no scouting report to defend him. It said, "good luck!"
Yes , MJ is GOAT 你們應該看更多他的比賽🥰
Jordan dunked on Ewing more times then anyone else 😆 🤣 😂
What's amazing is he shoots over 50% from mid range, this is why you see him just blow by people and pump fakes everybody. With his quickness and athleticism, it's impossible to guard him when he can shoot the mid range jumper at such a high percentage.
The thing about No. 23 is that every single game was a highlight reel. He was and is the most athletic, skilled, and electric player to have ever put his hand on the ball. One word that sums up Michael Jordan that separates him from any other player is “Determined”. You just can’t teach that.
It was fear of MJ could he would drag you up and down that court like a kid in front of millions of people…EVERY NIGHT.
I'm sorry. We have to be real. I have appreciation for the game. Every generation. I am old school. I grew up watching Jordan play. And we have to be real! No one before or after Jordan can knock Jordan off the throne. It's Jordan.. then everyone else. I wouldn't be able to argue if you put kobe or LeBron at 2. That's when the debate really starts. Jordan didn't have a weakness. One year he won the scoring title and won defensive player of the year! He has the most scoring titles.. the most mvps.. he's better at defense. Better At scoring. Undefeated in the finals. No matter where he was on the court.. the offensive or defensive side.. he was the best player and the most feared on the court. Jordan only played 15 years and accomplished more. If he wouldn't have retired because of his father's murder.. the rockets wouldn't have had a chance to win those 2 titles. Those would have belonged to Chicago with the rest of the 1990s. They would have completely dominated a decade of the nba. We don't even have to mention that the game is easier nowadays. Every sport is easier than it was in the 90s. They make it as hard as they can on the defense because more scoring equals more excitement. They did it to football and they did it to basketball. Jordan would average 45 in today's NBA. More if he wanted to. For real. Prime Jordan would be literally unstoppable in today's game. We have to all just come to reality here.. and its ok. LeBron is great! Kobe is great! Thats my top three. But number one is Jordan. It doesn't matter when LeBron takes over all time scoring.. it doesn't matter if he manages to maybe win one more title (won't happen). Jordan still accomplished more with more consistency in a shorter period of time. You will never be able to change that. We as basketball fans need to realize truth. Jordan is.. our basketball God amongst men.
He could average 35. Sorry, still laughing. He would average between 40-50. Look up all the NBA players talking about it. Jordan hardly even used the 3pt back then (side note: later in his career his average from the 3 skyrocketed) He'd add that to this game and imagine how often he'd go the free point line today. Seriously. Back then, it was high contact, not like today. He had it ALL. MVP defence AND offence most steals, and I think it was the most blocks, in the SAME season. Think on that. And his fitness coach actually says he was doing 50-inch verticals, but it was never made official. Only official recording was 48. He simply had it all. EXCEPT, he was a bad dude. Scary. Some might argue he was too aggressive and would make everything personal. For example. If LeBron and he were in the same league today, and LeBron said ANYTHING that MJ could take personal.... Just... I mean... LeBron is great, awesome, but as big as he is, MJ would absolutely do anything within his skill set, to destroy the man. Remember, as Shaq said, MJ was scary. The only player he was scared to play against.
The first young dudes to admit they would kill in the league today. Thank you for being real!
Check out Jordan's voyager part 1 rare video where you will see some different never before seen highlights like him smashing a backboard.
Players at the time were terrified of Mj. Vernon Maxwell once said he would not sleep the day before MJ, because he knew he would get humiliated and dunked on. For the 48 vertical, i do not think i ever saw MJ with the head above the rim.
