I remember my dad was a huge Malone fan, when MJ sunk that shot the life went out of his face, and could only say "Damn why doesn't he just retire?.. give someone else a chance" G.O.A.T
Watching Michael Jordan interviews are just as entertaining to me as watching the man play! He's got something in interviews that no other superstar has since been as great with the media...Kobe, as much as I'm a fan of the game, he's a little awkward with the media and his answers often come across as smug. MJ was ALL CLASS!
MJ is so modest, he averaged 28.2 pts per game his first season, scored 63 in the playoffs in his second, and he averaged 37.1 ppg his 3rd year. Yet he says it took him a few years to learn to play in the NBA.
Vseslav Botkin It took a while to learn how to win championships his offence was always there but once he became a elite facilitator him and Scottie were unstoppable
MJ is the best. Kobe has MJ's killer instint, but Kobe did not learn to "impact the game when shooting is off" (evident in video, stats, and Phil Jackson's book) LBJ is complete player like MJ, but he unfortunately does not have the competitive drive and the killer will to take control of the game. MJ is a rare combination of talent, drive, will, and competivness. I really doubt we would see another player like MJ.
MJ's defense separates him from Kobe and LeBron. 3 players in NBA history had 200 steals and 100 blocks in a season. Only 1 player did it twice. He was 17 blocks from doing it 3 times.
It is crazy watching him young and just schooling everyone but coming up short. Then getting talent around him and maturity of the game made him and his team unstoppable. Watching him play with the wizards, even though I wish he hadn't, was like watching Yoda school all the younger jedi.
There’s something about him that really just puts him levels above in class of his on he raised the bar so frighten high not even Bron or Kobe came close to exceeding I mean let’s just admit it everybody just fighting for 2nd at this point !!!!
You know he's a real player when everyone in the world says he's arguably the greatest player ever and he says he's not because he hasn't played the greats before his time. That's a true player.
Check out @13:13 To me, that's one of the biggest difference between Jordan and Kobe and that's exactly why I laugh every-time some Kobe fanatics yell " Kobe can do the things Jordan does". Of course, Jordan also teased Kobe about him stealing "all his moves" to gently trash talk Kobe about Kobe fanaticism about Jordan's game. But here's the thing : ALL Kobe moves come from PARTS of Jordan's game but he certainly doesn't have literally ALL Jordan moves. Jordan' game was based on his creativity (as he used to say) or his sense of improvisation. That's why (as John Thompson asks him) there ARE SO MANY MOVES THAT JORDAN LITERALLY INVENTED IMMEDIATELY IN THE MOMENT and that WE'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. And the crazy thing about it is that, he would do it ALL THE TIME...CONSTANTLY. He would adapt all the time to what the defense gave him and just create something out of nothing...having us shaking our heads in disbelief. I remember that reporters and fans used to ask him all the time if he knew what he was doing when he would make those kind of plays and he would always say that he didn't and that he just let his creativity or his instinct take over. That's why his arsenal of moves seemed literally BOUNDLESS. And that is the beauty of Jordan's game...his game is based on improvisation first. Jordan's game was a mix between a great rap FREESTYLE and a great piece of classical music at the same time. It was RAW, RARE, EASY, GRACEFUL and PURE. Not to mention, his athleticism, his hang-time, his quickness, his skill level, his jumping ability on top of it completely set him apart from anybody on the court. Kobe, on the other side is totally different. Yes, Kobe's game is also very beautiful (don't get me wrong) to watch and he is very elegant but not quite in the same way. The beauty of Kobe's game is a CHOREOGRAPHIC BEAUTY. Kobe's game is based on REPETITION. His entire game, his entire arsenal is based on the REPETITION OF PARTS OF JORDAN'S GAME. But Kobe worked on some PARTICULAR MOVES. That's why his game looks like a choreography. Now, yes, compared to any player of his era, Kobe has the biggest arsenal... but NOT EVEN CLOSE compared to Jordan himself. What Jordan could improvise to score seemed BOUNDLESS. The difference between the two players in that area is basically the difference between REPETITION and IMPROVISATION. Huge... If you compare the best Kobe to Jordan from 95-98, Kobe has about 50% of his moves. But if you compare Kobe to Jordan from 84-93, Kobe has about 25-30% of his moves/arsenal maximum. Just look at a game where Kobe scores x amount of points and see how he does it. Then, go to a game where Jordan scored the same amount, look at the defense and see how Jordan operates...and WITNESS THE DIFFERENCE. MJ ALL DAY...
totally true!!!! espeially the turn around fadeaway shot that kobe makes is so similar with jordan's fadeaway. the drive to the basket with the tounge out is also imitated by kobe from jordan.
Obviously, Kobe ain't even in the same stratosphere as Jordan no matter what laker fans think. Kobe is still top 15 though and is an amazing player but when the name Jordan comes up, I can't take you seriously anymore.
The thing that separates him from Kobe and LeBron is his defensive instincts/numbers. No one in NBA history has ever "twice" had 200 steals and 100 blocks in a season.
@Air Magic: Your description and analysis of both Jordan's and Kobe's games was simply fantastic. The way you summed up Jordan's game - especially with the rap/classical comparison - was delightful to read. Wonderful man; well written. 👏
I've always said the same thing. Kobe is a top 15 all-time great no question about that. But he is almost definitely not going to have a recognition of this magnitude as MJ had.
Lebron says he's gonna be on Mount Rushmore of the greatest basketball players ever when he retires. That's fine because MJ already owns mount olympus of basketball and Kobe has a spot reserved there when he retires too.
20:42 MJ is COLD. If you really listen, he tells you exactly what Lebron James’s career was going to be. This interview was released months before Lebron’s Rookie year. Chills
Amazing how his 1st & last name appear three times in his OWN quote. Man, three really is a charm. In those quote, the 3rd pick in the 1984 draft, two three-peats' in the NBA. smh. simply amazing. MJ = GOAT
That's actually my favorite move of his as well & the one that I also think is the most amazing move of his. At least in terms of difficulty. Even though MJ ALWAYS made it look easy! G.O.A.T.!
Listening to Mike I really understand what he's saying and what he can do on the floor geometry is the way. And might I say he knew it the brain is a muscle. Not if you think about muscle memory it's automatically unprinted in you michael Jeffrey Jordan the best 👍 hands down on anyone else.
MJ simply showed how potent Trust can be. When mind, body and soul are unified in commitment to achieve One's own Will, everything becomes possible; that's why the lyric in "Like Mike" resonated worldwide. It's one thing to see a guy with ELITE fundamental basketball skill + IQ, but no coach alive has ever coached effort, passion, or dedication to excellence with much success. MJ is why guys started coming to camp in shape. He was cooking by Christmas of his rookie year, whereas most vets were playing their way into form by All-Star break. He forced the players to step up or be embarrassed on 📺!😂😂 Add in the superb PARTNERSHIP with Nike (yes, Nike was a newby on the bottom before MJ so he got the partnership rather than the regular endorsement deal), which the NBA ultimately copied to some extent along the way, and his overall impact on the game is greater than just a fingerprint. MJ left his 👣 FOREVER imprinted on the game. We overlook absolute legends of the game because MJ's was so potent in every aspect every single game. In the basketball dictionary, Killer & Assassin are both defined, not by words, but by photos of Michael Jordan followed by Allen Iverson, and Kobe Bryant; however only MJ is G.O.A.T.!
Funny thing about 'The Shot' over Ehlo was Craig forced MJ into as low a percentage jumper as possible. MJ just did what GOATs do. He hit the shot. Other than that Ehlo had a great game. See for yourself: th-cam.com/video/bAl9UJOECJ0/w-d-xo.html Even knowing the outcome it's still a riveting game.
''put Jordan in any year against Kobe in '06...I put my money on Kobe.'' < LOL!!!!!! funniest thing I have ever heard by FAR! I've heard some really idiotic Kobe comments but that is by FAR the funniest. '87-93 Jordan would take '06 Kobe easily.
You can always have that type of positive attitude as well. Do not let the temporary adversities of life prevent you from believing within yourself that you can be ''like Mike'' in that aspect.
Amen. Even though I don't like to use the word ''god(s)'' to define very talented players. And I'm sorry, are you referring to John Stockton as the smartest NBA player in terms of IQ? Because that goes to M. Jordan as well on top of the title of being the GOAT.
If I was MJ I wouldn't sign any autographs because it would be like giving away gold! lol. I grew up idolizing MJ and wanted to be like him, but grew up a foot short lol. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have the same passion for the game that I do today..5'7 and can dunk:)
are you foreal? you probably have never seen him play. he's a guy who can play ALL 5 positions. watch the 1979-1980 nba finals. Magic's rookie year. when Kareem went out with an ankle injury; he started at center in game 6. He finished with 42 points, 15 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals, and 1 block in game 6; and was the MVP. That was just the beginning of his greatness. and he's one of the all time leading assist leaders and is the inventor of showtime. Magic is top 5 all time. come on foreal.
Tell you what I love about these videos - looking at the opposition bench. Check out the basket against New Jersey at around 10.10 - the involuntary reaction of the Nets players says everything about that play that needs to be said.
M.J showed me how beat defenders easyly practicing and beliebing un my self , a Lot of people hate when I put them to sleep once and again and again ,The skills have to be practiced at The same time that your weekness!! God bless M.J. forever!!
Well, this specific 240p video is equivalent to the average 480p video. Keep in mind, high definition was not available in 2003 for the most part. Unless if you were wealthy of course.
many people always compare jordan to lebron,mj is the greatest player of all time.the reason why lebron is so great today because mj gave him a vision.he wanted someday he could be jordan or surpass him.
Everybody loves comparing players, but numbers don't lie, and players that are great play to win rings, Jordan, Russell, Shaq, Magic, are the greatest players for me. When these guys won in the finals there numbers were better then anybody else's in the history of the game. Jordan 6 Finals MVP's for most all time, 2 place three players with 3 Finals MVP's Magic, Shaq, and Duncan only three in the history of this game, and then there's Mr. Bill Russell, Let's see more rings then finger's 11 in 13 season, 8 straight wins in the finals, and ohh don't let me forget, that Finals MVP award is named after one player by the name of Bill Russell. There are a few players with 2 finals MVP's Bird, Hakeem, Kareem, Lebron, Kobe, etc, but not Three, sorry, they had there chance to win three and came up short in the finals, or had teammates who played great on a bigger stage.
Jordan getting Pippen occurred through the draft, not after he conspired and left to create a super team through free agency. You cannot begin to compare Jordan to LeBron.
great list. Bird would be No. 5 on my list. I am very pleased to see Hakeem on the list. Also, I would've changed Pippen with Stockton. I don't know why everyone underrates Stockton that much, he's not on any list, yet he's the second best PG the game ever had
here i am in 2012 and i still dont belive michael jordan will never play another game of nba basketball, an if hes so confodent he wont then become a coach come that close to the game and dont play
Pau Gasol & Ron Artest bailed Kobe's brick-jacking behind out of game 7. Lets not forget about that. In the most CRUCIAL game of Kobe Bryant's life ('10 Finals Gm 7) thus far, he needed two players to bail him out because he could hardly buy a bucket. No intention to hate here. I'm just calling the shots how it is.
Well, it was at least 51% Kobe's flaws during the entire 2004 finals. I know that for SURE. I've also heard it from Lakers fans. Oh believe me, even if Lakers had Bynum, their chances of beating the '08 Celtics would've most probably been slim-none. Garnett was DPOY in '08 as well.
If the highlights alone in this video has not convinced you that this man was a one of a kind athlete, then I do not know what to tell you. Don't take that personal though.
I remember my dad was a huge Malone fan, when MJ sunk that shot the life went out of his face, and could only say "Damn why doesn't he just retire?.. give someone else a chance"
G.O.A.T
***** in rebound and defense.
Christopher De Asis
Indeed, he was a awesome defender!
***** he only looked like 1
***** right..

"Have you ever met anyone as competitive as you are?"
"No. I'm the best at being competitive."
Daryl Hall Of whom he had met.
MJ is the best.
Kobe has MJ's killer instint, but Kobe did not learn to "impact the game when shooting is off" (evident in video, stats, and Phil Jackson's book)
LBJ is complete player like MJ, but he unfortunately does not have the competitive drive and the killer will to take control of the game.

I agree with this
Nope he was a once in a lifetime gem no one even close
THE GREATEST EVER.. MJ . HIS AIRNESS.. THE G.O.A.T. HANDS DOWN
He's just so much better than every other player. just weird almost
It is crazy watching him young and just schooling everyone but coming up short. Then getting talent around him and maturity of the game made him and his team unstoppable. Watching him play with the wizards, even though I wish he hadn't, was like watching Yoda school all the younger jedi.
+catsnake7
Exactly !
It is weird. How can someone be that good?
It’s MJ for ya 😂
There’s something about him that really just puts him levels above in class of his on he raised the bar so frighten high not even Bron or Kobe came close to exceeding I mean let’s just admit it everybody just fighting for 2nd at this point !!!!
You know he's a real player when everyone in the world says he's arguably the greatest player ever and he says he's not because he hasn't played the greats before his time. That's a true player.

Watching Great Escape and Switch Hand makes me believe he is definitely the G.O.A.T.
JORDAN THE G.O.A.T.
Thanks Mj for all the great moments. The best ever period.
I've always said the same thing. Kobe is a top 15 all-time great no question about that. But he is almost definitely not going to have a recognition of this magnitude as MJ had.

I'm a Laker fan but def not Kobe bro
Best believe Jordan reserved a spot for Kobe on Mt Olympus next to him!!!
Jordan
Bird
Magic
Kobe
The Lebron debate is silly. Jordan is so far beyond him, there's nothing to argue.
Y’all delusional asf lmao
dont compare anyone to Michael Jordan. he is the best ever 10 times better than anyone
An acurate description of the Bulls when they needed a clutch shot:
"Give the ball to Michael, everybody get the fuck out of the way."
Michael Jordan the greatest
The athlete who had the most impact on sports.
"love is dropping 69" yes it is Michael, yes it is....
20:42 MJ is COLD. If you really listen, he tells you exactly what Lebron James’s career was going to be. This interview was released months before Lebron’s Rookie year. Chills
This guy is the best on the court and off.he never once claimed he was the goat.lebum u got alot to learn
"Michael Jordan is the Michael Jordan that Michael Jordan strived to be." -Michael Jordan
He so great !
Amazing how his 1st & last name appear three times in his OWN quote. Man, three really is a charm. In those quote, the 3rd pick in the 1984 draft, two three-peats' in the NBA. smh. simply amazing. MJ = GOAT
"people might not know me 20 years from now..." you were so wrong Jordan.
That type of guy will never be forget...he is a living legend
Maybe 100 years
That's actually my favorite move of his as well & the one that I also think is the most amazing move of his. At least in terms of difficulty. Even though MJ ALWAYS made it look easy! G.O.A.T.!
Just listening to him n watching him play just blow ur mind away no other player that I know can electrify he the way he does
no one can be better than mj! Wait maybe mj could be better than mj in another dimension and time yes then possible!
1:03 Jordan's last shot as a Bull (Sunday, June 14th, 1998)
10:50 This is why he's the greatest
Listening to Mike I really understand what he's saying and what he can do on the floor geometry is the way. And might I say he knew it the brain is a muscle. Not if you think about muscle memory it's automatically unprinted in you michael Jeffrey Jordan the best 👍 hands down on anyone else.
he totally earned that starting spot in his last nba all stars game ....
i keep arguing with my friends that the most amazing move MJ made was that one at 10:10 against the nets. thank you,Magic, for proving me right.

I don't even fucking like basketball but MJ is a pure badass.
Never that... Jordan is and will always be the greatest of all time!
Best move and shot of all time
Jordan re defy the modern game of basketball with his wits and athletic prowess, an athlete that good comes once in a generation. MJ the only one!
So Inspirational.
Mj will always be the best in my mind!
Awesome video. WOW... What else is there to say.
''put Jordan in any year against Kobe in '06...I put my money on Kobe.'' < LOL!!!!!! funniest thing I have ever heard by FAR! I've heard some really idiotic Kobe comments but that is by FAR the funniest. '87-93 Jordan would take '06 Kobe easily.

true that. highly appreciate it. plenty more videos to come within the next few days alone.
6-0 finals...period...
Just da best man.man he was the nba.it will never be the same.i still love the bulls.but just aint the same
31:27 don't short cut the game or the game will short cut you hear that LeBron.
If I was MJ I wouldn't sign any autographs because it would be like giving away gold! lol. I grew up idolizing MJ and wanted to be like him, but grew up a foot short lol. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have the same passion for the game that I do today..5'7 and can dunk:)
Well, if you do not see why he is THE greatets basketball player ever, I really do not know what to tell you.
he truly is blessed with that.
are you foreal? you probably have never seen him play. he's a guy who can play ALL 5 positions. watch the 1979-1980 nba finals.

Tell you what I love about these videos - looking at the opposition bench. Check out the basket against New Jersey at around 10.10 - the involuntary reaction of the Nets players says everything about that play that needs to be said.

He refused to sign an autograph for me once, but I still love the guy.
Yes, Kareem is on the same page as M. Jordan. Kareem is undoubtedly the 2nd greatest NBA player of all time.

from my own personal witness, i can't weigh in on much older players
He has this move where he glides in the air, and Clyde ryhmes with glide
28:15 Ernie Johnson: ''we appreciate you bringing that tape with you by the way'' hahaha
I think both you you guys are right.
the great bambino. the best slugger and once a great pitcher.
Greatest player ever
damn MJ is almost like the kobe of the 90s
take the negative into positive
BE LIKE MIKE EVERYONE !
great list. Bird would be No. 5 on my list. I am very pleased to see Hakeem on the list. Also, I would've changed Pippen with Stockton. I don't know why everyone underrates Stockton that much, he's not on any list, yet he's the second best PG the game ever had
I love every Magic Johnson game but the best man to ever put on a pair of shoes is MJ the greatest
His name Michael Jeffrey Jordan there will never be another one the greatest the goat
When are they going to make a movie out of his life!
Amen!
Jordan was a smart person
Amen brotha
I was thinking the same thing.
Amen.
here i am in 2012 and i still dont belive michael jordan will never play another game of nba basketball, an if hes so confodent he wont then become a coach come that close to the game and dont play

Well, it was at least 51% Kobe's flaws during the entire 2004 finals. I know that for SURE. I've also heard it from Lakers fans. Oh believe me, even if Lakers had Bynum, their chances of beating the '08 Celtics would've most probably been slim-none. Garnett was DPOY in '08 as well.
the best ever was!! My idol!!
If the highlights alone in this video has not convinced you that this man was a one of a kind athlete, then I do not know what to tell you. Don't take that personal though.
