Jordan made defenses look really bad because of his elite abilities to both drive to to the basket and hit that pull up jumper. He constantly had defenders in limbo.
“Defense was horrible, defense was terrible.” Fam, you missin the point of the whole video. THATS what Mike did. He MADE them look horrible and terrible. Yes, there was some bad defensive plays in this, but the majority was HIM making them look bad. Craig Elo was one of the best defensive players in the league and he dropped 53 and 69 on they head. He made the best defensive players in the league look like high school players. Yes, even the glove. You a hater frfr.
@@trappgawdd3390 He prolly mad beacause he wanna be like MJ and MJ said bro stop and seak some help lol I already told this man above why react to a player you say you hate and he says we don't know basketball wow I think he does not know baseketball and 100%I would love to have him trash talk MJ to his face and then play 1 on 1 and get destroyed
Yeah, calling Mutombo terrible on defense omg. Prior to that highlight, he's blocked every Jordan dunk and bragged about it. But not that time! Hance the "No, no, no" from MJ afterwards. The denial is so strong in this one. Pure ignorance of Mutombo.
I love the LFR reactions, but I will say the constant knocking of the era's inability to play defense was a bit much. Especially after stating that he had Gary Payton over MJ because of his defense.
You're forgetting how quick MJ was, dude was hitting a 4.3 in the forty in his early years. You had to see it in person, it wasn't that defenses were bad as much as MJ was just deceivingly quick and would blow by before they could react. That speed was also why he made 1st team defense so many times. Throw in his athleticism and hang time with those big hands and you have the GOAT!
Jordan's dunk off of a free throw (highlight #14 at 17:23) was legal, back then the moment the ball left the shooters hand it was a live ball. Remember Jordan's speed made most of the defenders look terrible. Don't fault a speedster for embarrassing a slower athlete. Jordan would crush today's touch foul flop league.
He crossed the shit outta Shandon Anderson to get free just to meet Ostertag in the lane. That's called defense. Just because MJ beat 2 guys to score doesn't mean it wasn't any defense being played. In this era, just cross your man and waltz in cuz it's no center in the paint.
So there might have been some bad defense in Jordan’s day but there is absolutely no defense today. Jordan was hit almost every time he moved and nearly every shot was contested. And its not luck when he did it so many times. Plus Jordan never flopped. I’m a Larry Bird and Tim Duncan fan but Jordan is the Goat. Labron “flops a lot” James only ruined the game and can’t get his wallet out of China to actually play real basketball. He only whines and complains like a brat. Tim Duncan and the Spurs were the last real basketball in the NBA. Now it’s more like the WWE then a true sport. Money and flashy shiny so called entertainment are the focus now.
Well said. Downplaying the intense physical defense of that era to downplay Jordan is not cool. Some defenders were just bamboozled. Some defenders rather not give MJ the 3 point play, coz clearly the highlights show he will most likely make them(MJ is about 83ish from the line, LBJ is 73ish). And these are just 50 of what Jordan brought to every game, and every night and especially in the playoffs and finals.
That's what these haters don't understand. MJ made the game look easy when you combine supreme athleticism with basic fundamentals and a killer competitive drive. Jordan was the first to combine those traits. Plus he was the first and second scoring option at times in his career so he's seen everything a defense can throw plus the kitchen sink. So when you've seen every defense and most of the time you can overcome and score on it without much help from your teammates because of your own abilities, yes it's going to look effortless...AND that's one reason why Jordan is the goat.
that "luck" should be in highlight ... the fact that he lost his grip and regripped it to throw it with soft touch , all while in the air it's crazy skill !!!
I saw a vid where many nba stars like shaque, pippen, barkley and a few more said that mj would easyly do 44 average gamepoints today. Sorry, but I trust them more to be right 😅
This guy's commenting about how bad the defense were but not able to recognize, the hawks' is dominique wilkins' squad not olajuwon.. does this guy know what basketball is😂😂😂
i deleted a comment cause im watching it currently. this dude is all over the place. he said what you just mentioned, he said something about hakeem the dreams squad, when it was clearly dominique and the hawks, made a comment about jordans pin on the backboard block and mentioned baseball and number 45 when it clearly was his second return when he was on the wizards. talks about how the defense was all trash but then says mourning shouldve taken the charge or get out the way.. had no heart for actually trying to go for the block, just cause he got dunked on. im halfway through , and its no wonder this guy is a jordan hater.. he doesnt even know shit about baskeball. wants to mention drexler, and penny, and payton. yea, jordans all of that combined in to one person
I heard several slips. He doesn't know what he's talking about. That was Charles Oakley on that foul not Charles Barkley. Dude should know Barkley never played in NY.
Lmao, the hate is real! Breaks his ankles, no defense. Dunk on a center, they should of took a charge. He avoids the charge, no defense! He shakes you, no defense. He makes a circus shot. All but one are luck. He gets fouled and make it, no defense! Mike is great but there was no defense. Lol 🤣. Had me crying this entire video. But respect given, and I can respect that King! Still had me cracking up though 🤣
Mjs the goat, there's really not much of a comparison. He's the most complete player to ever play the game. As they say, he is what happens when great athleticism meets great fundamentals. Bias was better in college though, mjs game for much better once he got into the nba.
I like it when a certain guy sticks out his leg as a way to play defense. Hehe. MJ was a legend before he won any titles. Who else had a "love of the game" clause in their contract. He wanted to play anywhere, any time he wanted. We grew up watching the Heels but the only time I saw them person was in '84 because that guy came to town. Before then we used to go to ABA games to see Julius Erving and David Thompson play the Carolina Cougars.
The thing you have to take in consideration is MJ skill level is several level above everyone else’s. And his fist step was the fastest I’ve ever see. It truly is unfair, so yeah MJ made everyone look bad. I’m gonna remind everyone that you are looking at the most gifted basketball player ever. Would you expect anything less? There is NO one else like Michael Jordon🎥🦄🔥🏀
If your still gonna be a jordan hater just admit it but don’t put down this era of basketball because this is when men played. I’d love to see you in a room with the 90’s knicks or pistons or sonics and tell them they are soft and have terrible defense. I’d love to see it…. there is such a thing as being too good and that’s what jordan was too good it did not matter defense from the 60’s his era this era he would smoke EVERYBODY
Lebron plays in an era where if you sneeze on someone it’s a foul. Gives him so much more freedom on the court. No doubt he’s top 5 but Jordan was playing against savages in a time where they could literally kick the shit out you on the court and he still dominated, 2 3peats and made it look easy. Not forgetting the 2 years away from basketball, making a blockbuster movie… and somehow still managed to come back arguably better than before and make everyone else look average again. 🐐
Can you react to Jordan’s passing highlights? Most people don’t know that he’s one of the best passers to ever play the game because he’s known for scoring. But he won 6 chips in 8 years while playing in the triangle offense. A system based on ball movement and screen setting. If he was this selfish player that he’s be painted as then that kind of success wouldn’t be possible in an offense based on sharing the ball
Jordan gets wrapped up by Ostertag and does a spectacular move to score. LRF - no defense. Ostertag grabbed both of Jordan's arms man. Jordan was so fast he made professional players look like amateurs. He made impossible moves look easy.
He wasn’t as good with the Wizards as with the Bulls, but that would be expected. Another team, another coach, other circumstances, a couple of bad injuries and almost 40. Numbers are still pretty damn good though: Jordan averaged 21.2 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4.4 assists in 142 games for the Wizards in his career.
To me jordan the most talent player i ever seen lace them up. Len was NEVER better than him to me.When they were in college @ the same time Jordan won the national player of the yr.
MJ was chewin on his tongue most of the time...nervous habit I guess. Everybody even started doin that to emulate him lol. I've never seen it on video or tape anywhere, but it was said that MJ could pick up a car battery with one hand. And yup, he dunked on everybody. But, he would abuse Craig Ehlo at every chance for whatever reason (personally, I think that it was because Ehlo would "D" MJ up and play tough the whole game. MJ respected that perhaps). But, I gotta thank you for the Len Bias shout out. I got to see him play in person a few times against WVU while he was at Maryland, and he was my favorite college player at the time. Jordan took his lumps in the NBA a little before you could tell he was gonna be different. Len was already doin some crazy sht in college. Gets drafted #1 by the Celtics, and the next thing you know he's gone because of some freakish heart problems. Ripped my guts out when I heard the news. Only God knows what he could have been. Perhaps, the Lord didn't want him to lay waste to the NBA lol.
A drive to be the best unlike anybody EVER seriously, watching his games in the 80s and 90s I’d look at my friends after one of these unbelievable plays and say “did you just see that $hit??” 😳 So she you say trick shots I’ll disagree because he was making shots like that too often.
It’s easy to watch a video and pick them apart it’s a different story when you’re on the court against a guy who can go any direction and score on you in so many different ways. This is why defenders lost sleep the night before they played the Bulls and feared MJ. He’s the GOAT for a reason
Bubba. They didn’t give the baseline to Jordan. He TOOK it! And all of these lucky shots? Had a bunch of luck didn’t he. You just can’t admit he’s head and shoulders above everybody else! He was a tremendous defensive player. And of course the best offensive player ever. I can back it up with all the stats and metrics you want.
Jordan a goat fr ion kno how u can stand to hate on him that man worked hard practice makes perfect ain’t that a saying 💯 you wouldn’t even be able to guard or score on Jordan he would break u n destroy you on any court how can u hate on MJ who had everybody jumping out there seats your weird dude
It wasn’t terrible defense! You should study 80s&90s basketball more. Jordan in his elite prime was unguardable, he made good D look bad that’s why the bad boys pistons beat him half to death because it was the only way they could keep his score under 40+ points
Man-you don't understand the thing-its not only that he was that quick that he made the defence looking so bad but it was aswell the fear-factor.he could shoot from any position, whatever he did was a potential score.you have to understand mental advantage above his opponents.
NBA players anonymously voted on the GOAT: Michael Jordan - 73% of votes LeBron James - 11.9% of votes Kobe Bryant - 10.6% of votes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar - 1.7% of votes Magic Johnson - 1% of votes Allen Iverson - 1% of votes Kevin Durant - 1% of votes.
As soon as you said Micheal Jordan was the greatest player... I lost it.... now you got a fan for life, cuz I know you're real... cuz you recognize real, and you don't lie.... you're a badass man
I've loved checking our your music reaction videos. Always entertaining. But have to say, this actually isn't the best video if you want to get a handle on just how amazing MJ was night in and night out. It's not even top 5 as far as MJ videos go. I don't feel the need to preach to try to convince anyone Jordan was the GOAT. Even with advanced statistics, there are a lot of intangibles and there is subjectivity (the "eye test"), so there is no way to definitively *prove* it anyway. Some people make a case for Wilt, Russell, Kareem, Lebron, etc. And I'm not going to roll out a wall of stats and accolades that demonstrate just what a ridiculously gifted player MJ was to try to settle any debate. But some things to consider--he was a beast on both ends of the court and a nightmare matchup on offense and defense, never took a night off (hell, never took a play off, even as a busted-up 39 year-old shell of his former self in Washington), 100% relentless, monumentally clutch, and a lot of other players didn't just respect him, they feared him. I watched MJ in his prime, and Kobe, and Lebron, and everyone in between. I've never seen seen a more complete, gifted, competitive, driven, and astounding player than MJ in my life. Even these highlight reels don't do him justice because he did this stuff on the regular, but here are a couple other videos that I think better showcase just how amazing he was if you want to go down a rabbit hole. th-cam.com/video/SUo8skGvl-Q/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/8M7yBjtx_Ic/w-d-xo.html
Bro, you’re reacting to the wrong video. The two best videos are Michael Jordan’s Historic Bulls Mixtape and Michael Jordan’s Best Rare Video (Voyager)
It not how everyone likes. It who players and fans have a healthy fear of. Again, 2 - 3peats. In almost half the time. Also. Received good twice. One out of college, the other with pros. Dominated, and wanted it. Jordan, all day, everyday
Your asking people to play impossible defense. Jordan had one of the quickest first step ever. Don’t give him the baseline? Motumbo was coming to help out and the play MJ called took his own defender out of the play. Duh. How many lucky shots do you have to make before you figure out that ain’t luck. Mike did that stuff EVERY NIGHT!! I watched almost every game he played in and for MJ those shots might be Low percentage but not luck.
Right?! Jordan fakes out defender number 1, gets absolutely mugged under the rim by defender number 2 & still finishes with and 1, but the defense was “bad” and Jordan wasn’t that good…. This dude is a C L O W N.
The NBA didn't catch up with Jordan with some of the best players ever and they had his whole career to defend him. Detroit Pistons came close. MJ is the GOAT. End of.
Some of them were bad defense yes, but the vast majority were just MJ being THAT good & slicing them up. He was so quick, especially off the dribble, that he kept them off balance, and normally vary good defenders were just thrown off. Also, the defense then was light years better than whatever the hell they play today & call defense. Prime MJ (86-93) would easily average low 40s in this no defense league.
I'll give you props on a lot of videos that you make but I can't honestly give you that on this one. First of all you keep on saying that these were luck shots that he was making when in reality you know that it was like he was playing streetball with a bunch of children. No one was able to take on Jordan. And if those were lucky trick shots then all you have to do is just pull up how many years he did those type of shots in the NBA and they went in. Those will be lucky shots for anyone else but Jordan because Jordan made a habit of making them. Second of all when he came back from retirement and he was with the Washington wizards you called him number 45. He was wearing his number 23 in that shot. And ask for your comparisons of him and Dominique Wilkins or Gary Payton, he was better than all of them and all you have to do is look at interviews with them and they will say that he was that good. Larry Bird who I consider one of the greatest of all time and who I would put ahead of Lebron in my opinion, called Michael Jordan "God in basketball shoes". I've never been a fan of LeBron and I don't think he is the goat. I'll give him credit for all the accomplishments that he made but they were manufactured. To win he had to go to different teams and convince other top players to go with him. Jordan didn't have to do that. Jordan stood in a losing team and made it a winner with six rings and five MVPs. Jordan also played when it was still hand checking whereas LeBron plays with only forearm checking. It was harder when it was hand checking and the fouls were more brutal back then whereas now somebody as big as LeBron cries like a baby when he gets tapped. I have no respect for LeBron. Had Michael Jordan been in his prime in the NBA right now with no hand checking he will be averaging 45 points per game if not more. Also you're wrong about the NBA players back then. The guys back then had more heart and were more body man to man than they are now. You had so many superstars that didn't get MVP because you had the Superstar superstar is there Michael Jordan and you also had magic Johnson and Larry Bird it was hard for anyone to get MVP because of those three. But any one of those players like Karl Malone, John Stockton, Charles Barkley, Dominique Wilkins, Alex English, Adrian Dantley and so on and so on. You also talk about the defense on the video but the defense now are a bunch of flip floppers we're back then they take a hit and remember Jordan was the only true star on his team and he created Scottie pippen from a bunch of bench players where is LeBron manufactured convincing superstars from other teams to join him. LeBron took the easy way out just like a lot of players so I'll give him no props and remember back then they had the "Jordan Rules" created by the Detroit Pistons right special defense against Jordan they still couldn't stop him so I think you're wrong on all of the aspects. And every time you say that we don't give no Credence to defense back then you diminish Michael Jordan's accomplishments. You're saying that he was only so good because of defenses sucked that's basically what your whole premise was and you're completely wrong.
Yesss Yesss Everything Here Is 1000% Facts & Truth!!! What Kills Me That People Say Michael Air Jordan's Competition Was Weaker, Less Talented, Less Athletic. My God It's Ridiculous Crazy Talk. Lol They Truly Disrespected The Other Great Players. Which Is Too Many To Type Here. I Wish They Just Watch The 80's Teams, 90's Teams, & Early 2000's Teams Going Head To Head. Hell They Watch The 80's, 90's, & Early 2000's All Stars Games Too. But They Won't Because It Will Debunk Everything They Believed In About The Michael Air Jordan & All The Other Awesome Players That Played In His Eras.
The big difference between MJ and LeBron ..... even MJs team is behind or ahead by 20 points.... he always have the same intensity as he owes every game to NBA fans.....
Just imagine where he would be today,with all the new training programs that were pretty much based on trying to defeat him. He’s like the 4 minute mile runner. Everyone else is following.
Can't understand why a basketball fan would proudly say a guy who lost 6 Finals games and won only 3, 1 was in shorten season, is his hero? All pro athletes play to win.
@@jessiegomez8209 In my time great players won more games than they lost. They wanted to be Champion. Saying I played for the Championship 10 times but lost 6 times isn't good enough.
Any reasonable person would never say Jordan was perfect. No-one is. He missed some shots and fumbled from time to time. And, the bad boy Pistons beat the HELL out of Jordan and he took it to win. Jordan himself said he 'work with what the defense gives me'. He worked his fundamentals which gave him all the extras. The defense never knew WHERE he was coming from because he had EVERYTHING in his 'tooll box'.
Only one player I have never seen Jordan posterize (could have happened though admittedly), and that was Dennis Rodman. Dennis was half the defense by himself for most teams he played on.
It’s not true that they didn’t play defense back then. Magic Johnson and the Lakers would never have just let Michael beat them. They forced him to give the ball up and he averaged 11 assists per game on the way to his first championship.
Jow, you talk about that there is no defense, there always was defense, but when they saw Jordan with the ball the fear just made the defense crumble. You just watched highlights, you should have seen the games. Some just did not challenge him, because they were tired of getting shamed again. Some just didn't even try to jump and some even moved out of the way. You can even say that they feared to challenge him. How would you feel to be dunked on again for the 3rd time?
Anybody that trying to grow an audience that doesn't like Michael Jordan, shouldn't use anything with Michael Jordan. Keep it real and only show highlights of Your Favorite player LeBron James. Show all of LeBron James highlights and amazing plays, make sure theirs something different everytime. Michael Jordan had over 15 plays like that every game, and more. They didn't show all of Michael Jordan's highlights, it would be in the thousands.
Ok, so you claim defense didn't exist back in Jordan's time... No one plays defense today & that's the truth. Name one current player playing today that could've defended Jordan... Come to think about it name one player from any year ever that could've defended Jordan... Answer is there doesn't exist a human that could defend Jordan.
Yoooo This Question Right Here!!!! Says Volumes!!! Lol Hopefully We Get The Answer Lmfao Every Player That Said He Can Guard Or Stop Mike Had Regretted It For Their Statements Still To This Day Lol
Mfs had heart, they were just afraid of being posterized by this dude. And you can't tell me otherwise because I watched it in real time, before we had internet.
Jordan made defenses look really bad because of his elite abilities to both drive to to the basket and hit that pull up jumper. He constantly had defenders in limbo.
“Defense was horrible, defense was terrible.” Fam, you missin the point of the whole video. THATS what Mike did. He MADE them look horrible and terrible.

If you think defense in the 80s and 90s was trash, I wonder what kind of sewage today's defense is.
Aye he thought Hakeem was on the Hawks
He also thought Barkley was on the Knicks
This dude is doping🤣🤣🤣 this man is such s Lebronze c%ck sucker!🤣
I don't see how ANYBODY cannot see MJ as the GOAT! It's clear as anything. Nobody will ever be a complete player like MJ.
Gotta disagree Van…he made defenses look pathetic because he was that damn good
Kobe made comment he knew what was coming but MJ was just so strong and quick nothing he could do!
Agree 100%. Jordan was só superior do the brothers uma an era that contact was allow!!!! NBA nowadays os very week comoaring 80/90 era, no doubt....
Dikembe Mutombo is one of the premier shot blockers in NBA history. If you dare say that is bad defense you need to check your facts my man
Man LFR. You got all the CAP. If the 90’s had no defense whoa you need to re evaluate your hoop knowledge my man. Lol
Jordan's dunk off of a free throw (highlight #14 at 17:23) was legal, back then the moment the ball left the shooters hand it was a live ball.

Chicago girl, grew up watching him play so yeah I'm biased but MJ is the GOAT period hard stop!
“No defense” lol Ostertag was basically hugging him in mid-air on that layup but ok
Ya he lost me there
What did you expect? He is a Lebron fanboy
He crossed the shit outta Shandon Anderson to get free just to meet Ostertag in the lane. That's called defense. Just because MJ beat 2 guys to score doesn't mean it wasn't any defense being played. In this era, just cross your man and waltz in cuz it's no center in the paint.

Funny he said he's a fan of Glove defense when Jordan is usually considered THE TOP GUARD DEFENSIVELY ALL TIME.
that "luck" should be in highlight ... the fact that he lost his grip and regripped it to throw it with soft touch , all while in the air it's crazy skill !!!
I saw a vid where many nba stars like shaque, pippen, barkley and a few more said that mj would easyly do 44 average gamepoints today.
Sorry, but I trust them more to be right
😅
Jordan was the most clutch. He needed the ball in his hand at the end of games. LeBron, not so much.
Lebron's not clutch at all.
I was also an MJ HATER for many years but ultimately I had to accept his greatness, he is the GOAT. Don't worry my friend you will get there too 😅
11:02 he was not #45 coming back from baseball. This is years later after his 2nd retirement, playing for Wiz(40 yrs old)
Lol this dude made a couple misinformation comments
@@toneb6173 😂😂😂
He actually was 45 when he came back after baseball, he changed back to 23 during the playoff in 95 against Orlando! But I get your point!
He was 45 when he came back from baseball. He number was 45 in baseball that's y he wore 45 when he came back
"Who am I?". You already answered the question. "A hater" :)
This guy's commenting about how bad the defense were but not able to recognize, the hawks' is dominique wilkins' squad not olajuwon.. does this guy know what basketball is😂😂😂
Charles Barkley ??? On that foul play, that was Xavier "X-Man" McDaniel and Patrick Ewing
i deleted a comment cause im watching it currently. this dude is all over the place. he said what you just mentioned, he said something about hakeem the dreams squad, when it was clearly dominique and the hawks, made a comment about jordans pin on the backboard block and mentioned baseball and number 45 when it clearly was his second return when he was on the wizards. talks about how the defense was all trash but then says mourning shouldve taken the charge or get out the way.. had no heart for actually trying to go for the block, just cause he got dunked on. im halfway through , and its no wonder this guy is a jordan hater.. he doesnt even know shit about baskeball. wants to mention drexler, and penny, and payton. yea, jordans all of that combined in to one person

Right?! Dude claims to know all this & that about the game & era, but doesn’t know what team a major star was on.
I heard several slips. He doesn't know what he's talking about. That was Charles Oakley on that foul not Charles Barkley. Dude should know Barkley never played in NY.
@@mpound97 Also know the difference between Barkley and Oakley. Dude has no idea what he’s talking about.
You're not even allowed to play defense anymore 😂😂 have to give shooters 2 ft of space...jordan would avg 50 a game if he played in this Era
Lmao, the hate is real! Breaks his ankles, no defense. Dunk on a center, they should of took a charge. He avoids the charge, no defense! He shakes you, no defense. He makes a circus shot. All but one are luck. He gets fouled and make it, no defense! Mike is great but there was no defense. Lol 🤣. Had me crying this entire video. But respect given, and I can respect that King! Still had me cracking up though 🤣
11:14. Jordan was 39 years old right there.
You weren’t the only one. Jordan had haters everywhere. The Goat will always have haters.
At #14, that was not a lane violation back then. When the ball left the shooter's hand, it was a live ball!
Your saying there was bad defense when he’d dunk on people, but if you were in the defenders shoes, would you jump and try to block the goat?
6:50 I'm getting old, my man said was that Charles Barkley.8:52 Dude said Olajuwon was on the Hawks 🤣
He's lost
I noticed it too man 😅😅😅😅
He don’t get it MJ was so skillful it made them look like they not playing defense.
Today defense worst than back then look at how many points are scored a game and these are highlights it's difference when you watch a whole game
Mjs the goat, there's really not much of a comparison. He's the most complete player to ever play the game. As they say, he is what happens when great athleticism meets great fundamentals.
Bias was better in college though, mjs game for much better once he got into the nba.
I like it when a certain guy sticks out his leg as a way to play defense. Hehe. MJ was a legend before he won any titles. Who else had a "love of the game" clause in their contract. He wanted to play anywhere, any time he wanted. We grew up watching the Heels but the only time I saw them person was in '84 because that guy came to town. Before then we used to go to ABA games to see Julius Erving and David Thompson play the Carolina Cougars.
MJ is the G.O.A.T. You should checkout Tom Chambers and Shawn Kemp mixtape.
19:28 that's the "I'm the shit, you know I'm the shit, and I know that you know that I'm the shit" smile, what a legend.
The thing you have to take in consideration is MJ skill level is several level above everyone else’s. And his fist step was the fastest I’ve ever see. It truly is unfair, so yeah MJ made everyone look bad.
I’m gonna remind everyone that you are looking at the most gifted basketball player
ever. Would you expect anything less?
There is NO one else like
Michael Jordon🎥🦄🔥🏀
My personal faves were kobe and penny, but I always knew Jordan was the one, goated, FULLY above and beyond anyone LeBron included
MJ the goat
If your still gonna be a jordan hater just admit it but don’t put down this era of basketball because this is when men played. I’d love to see you in a room with the 90’s knicks or pistons or sonics and tell them they are soft and have terrible defense. I’d love to see it…. there is such a thing as being too good and that’s what jordan was too good it did not matter defense from the 60’s his era this era he would smoke EVERYBODY
Lebron plays in an era where if you sneeze on someone it’s a foul. Gives him so much more freedom on the court. No doubt he’s top 5 but Jordan was playing against savages in a time where they could literally kick the shit out you on the court and he still dominated, 2 3peats and made it look easy. Not forgetting the 2 years away from basketball, making a blockbuster movie… and somehow still managed to come back arguably better than before and make everyone else look average again. 🐐
Pay no attention to this dude.he just talking to talk he knows the defense was Treacherous in mj days comparing to lbj
@@stauf09 you’re really saying Lebron is better than Micheal Jordan ? 😂😂
@@calob3927 no not in my weirdest dreams.i would say that. Stupid sh$#@
Can you react to Jordan’s passing highlights? Most people don’t know that he’s one of the best passers to ever play the game because he’s known for scoring. But he won 6 chips in 8 years while playing in the triangle offense. A system based on ball movement and screen setting. If he was this selfish player that he’s be painted as then that kind of success wouldn’t be possible in an offense based on sharing the ball
Ok no he’s not one of the best passers to ever play. Yes he’s good but not one of the best ever
He would leave his feet a lot but he was definitely a decent passer. 7assist
Jordan gets wrapped up by Ostertag and does a spectacular move to score. LRF - no defense. Ostertag grabbed both of Jordan's arms man. Jordan was so fast he made professional players look like amateurs. He made impossible moves look easy.
He wasn’t as good with the Wizards as with the Bulls, but that would be expected. Another team, another coach, other circumstances, a couple of bad injuries and almost 40. Numbers are still pretty damn good though: Jordan averaged 21.2 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4.4 assists in 142 games for the Wizards in his career.
Dude thinks that's #45, MJ was closer 2 age 45. After baseball they lost 2 the Magic but after that it was a 3peat

MJ > Lebum
To me jordan the most talent player i ever seen lace them up. Len was NEVER better than him to me.When they were in college @ the same time Jordan won the national player of the yr.
MJ was chewin on his tongue most of the time...nervous habit I guess. Everybody even started doin that to emulate him lol. I've never seen it on video or tape anywhere, but it was said that MJ could pick up a car battery with one hand. And yup, he dunked on everybody. But, he would abuse Craig Ehlo at every chance for whatever reason (personally, I think that it was because Ehlo would "D" MJ up and play tough the whole game. MJ respected that perhaps). But, I gotta thank you for the Len Bias shout out. I got to see him play in person a few times against WVU while he was at Maryland, and he was my favorite college player at the time. Jordan took his lumps in the NBA a little before you could tell he was gonna be different. Len was already doin some crazy sht in college. Gets drafted #1 by the Celtics, and the next thing you know he's gone because of some freakish heart problems. Ripped my guts out when I heard the news. Only God knows what he could have been. Perhaps, the Lord didn't want him to lay waste to the NBA lol.
I have seen him pick up a big ass pumpkin with one hand.
A drive to be the best unlike anybody EVER seriously, watching his games in the 80s and 90s I’d look at my friends after one of these unbelievable plays and say “did you just see that $hit??” 😳 So she you say trick shots I’ll disagree because he was making shots like that too often.
It’s easy to watch a video and pick them apart it’s a different story when you’re on the court against a guy who can go any direction and score on you in so many different ways. This is why defenders lost sleep the night before they played the Bulls and feared MJ. He’s the GOAT for a reason
Bubba. They didn’t give the baseline to Jordan. He TOOK it! And all of these lucky shots? Had a bunch of luck didn’t he. You just can’t admit he’s head and shoulders above everybody else! He was a tremendous defensive player. And of course the best offensive player ever. I can back it up with all the stats and metrics you want.
Jordan a goat fr ion kno how u can stand to hate on him that man worked hard practice makes perfect ain’t that a saying 💯 you wouldn’t even be able to guard or score on Jordan he would break u n destroy you on any court how can u hate on MJ who had everybody jumping out there seats your weird dude
It wasn’t terrible defense! You should study 80s&90s basketball more. Jordan in his elite prime was unguardable, he made good D look bad that’s why the bad boys pistons beat him half to death because it was the only way they could keep his score under 40+ points
Man-you don't understand the thing-its not only that he was that quick that he made the defence looking so bad but it was aswell the fear-factor.he could shoot from any position, whatever he did was a potential score.you have to understand mental advantage above his opponents.

As soon as you said Micheal Jordan was the greatest player... I lost it.... now you got a fan for life, cuz I know you're real... cuz you recognize real, and you don't lie.... you're a badass man
I've loved checking our your music reaction videos. Always entertaining. But have to say, this actually isn't the best video if you want to get a handle on just how amazing MJ was night in and night out. It's not even top 5 as far as MJ videos go. I don't feel the need to preach to try to convince anyone Jordan was the GOAT. Even with advanced statistics, there are a lot of intangibles and there is subjectivity (the "eye test"), so there is no way to definitively *prove* it anyway. Some people make a case for Wilt, Russell, Kareem, Lebron, etc. And I'm not going to roll out a wall of stats and accolades that demonstrate just what a ridiculously gifted player MJ was to try to settle any debate. But some things to consider--he was a beast on both ends of the court and a nightmare matchup on offense and defense, never took a night off (hell, never took a play off, even as a busted-up 39 year-old shell of his former self in Washington), 100% relentless, monumentally clutch, and a lot of other players didn't just respect him, they feared him. I watched MJ in his prime, and Kobe, and Lebron, and everyone in between. I've never seen seen a more complete, gifted, competitive, driven, and astounding player than MJ in my life. Even these highlight reels don't do him justice because he did this stuff on the regular, but here are a couple other videos that I think better showcase just how amazing he was if you want to go down a rabbit hole. th-cam.com/video/SUo8skGvl-Q/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/8M7yBjtx_Ic/w-d-xo.html
perfectly said bro
Bro, you’re reacting to the wrong video. The two best videos are Michael Jordan’s Historic Bulls Mixtape and Michael Jordan’s Best Rare Video (Voyager)
Lol, there was no defense back inna day...
Video: Bulls take the lead 87 - 86 with 5.2 seconds left in the game
OK
It not how everyone likes. It who players and fans have a healthy fear of. Again, 2 - 3peats. In almost half the time. Also. Received good twice. One out of college, the other with pros. Dominated, and wanted it. Jordan, all day, everyday
Your asking people to play impossible defense. Jordan had one of the quickest first step ever. Don’t give him the baseline? Motumbo was coming to help out and the play MJ called took his own defender out of the play. Duh. How many lucky shots do you have to make before you figure out that ain’t luck. Mike did that stuff EVERY NIGHT!! I watched almost every game he played in and for MJ those shots might be Low percentage but not luck.
Bad Defence ?!! Let me ask you this man . Why hasn’t the other stars do it like he did?
Right?! Jordan fakes out defender number 1, gets absolutely mugged under the rim by defender number 2 & still finishes with and 1, but the defense was “bad” and Jordan wasn’t that good…. This dude is a C L O W N.
The NBA didn't catch up with Jordan with some of the best players ever and they had his whole career to defend him. Detroit Pistons came close. MJ is the GOAT. End of.
Never seen a hater until I bumped on this video
Micheal Jordan is half the size of Lebron and was dunking on 2 3 players at a time. When Lebron come hard them guys get out the way.
Jordan’s so skilled his ability is attributed to “luck.”
10:55 Dude thinks that's #45 smfh he was closer 2 age 45. Wizard era MJ 38-39 was still handling business
It would be luck, but he did it all the time!
he's indeed the Greatest Of All Time, even if you don't like him, you know and believe that he is the GOAT, fair enough✌👌✌
You need to get JoJo to react to his Historic Mixtape!
Van, what did you think of Jordan when he played for the Wizards?
Some of them were bad defense yes, but the vast majority were just MJ being THAT good & slicing them up. He was so quick, especially off the dribble, that he kept them off balance, and normally vary good defenders were just thrown off.
Also, the defense then was light years better than whatever the hell they play today & call defense. Prime MJ (86-93) would easily average low 40s in this no defense league.
Mike had the best fundamentals on both sides, and used them in every game. He just blew through strong defenses and made them look stupid.
BEAST
If there wasn't any defense than how did Jordan when defensive player of the year...... 😂 Don't be mad. 😂
Plus led the league in steals 3x, plus was the fastest guard ever to 100 steals and 100 blocks.
Survey: 82 percent of college coaches pick Jordan over James in GOAT debate
I'll give you props on a lot of videos that you make but I can't honestly give you that on this one. First of all you keep on saying that these were luck shots that he was making when in reality you know that it was like he was playing streetball with a bunch of children. No one was able to take on Jordan. And if those were lucky trick shots then all you have to do is just pull up how many years he did those type of shots in the NBA and they went in. Those will be lucky shots for anyone else but Jordan because Jordan made a habit of making them. Second of all when he came back from retirement and he was with the Washington wizards you called him number 45. He was wearing his number 23 in that shot. And ask for your comparisons of him and Dominique Wilkins or Gary Payton, he was better than all of them and all you have to do is look at interviews with them and they will say that he was that good. Larry Bird who I consider one of the greatest of all time and who I would put ahead of Lebron in my opinion, called Michael Jordan "God in basketball shoes". I've never been a fan of LeBron and I don't think he is the goat. I'll give him credit for all the accomplishments that he made but they were manufactured. To win he had to go to different teams and convince other top players to go with him. Jordan didn't have to do that. Jordan stood in a losing team and made it a winner with six rings and five MVPs. Jordan also played when it was still hand checking whereas LeBron plays with only forearm checking. It was harder when it was hand checking and the fouls were more brutal back then whereas now somebody as big as LeBron cries like a baby when he gets tapped. I have no respect for LeBron. Had Michael Jordan been in his prime in the NBA right now with no hand checking he will be averaging 45 points per game if not more. Also you're wrong about the NBA players back then. The guys back then had more heart and were more body man to man than they are now. You had so many superstars that didn't get MVP because you had the Superstar superstar is there Michael Jordan and you also had magic Johnson and Larry Bird it was hard for anyone to get MVP because of those three. But any one of those players like Karl Malone, John Stockton, Charles Barkley, Dominique Wilkins, Alex English, Adrian Dantley and so on and so on. You also talk about the defense on the video but the defense now are a bunch of flip floppers we're back then they take a hit and remember Jordan was the only true star on his team and he created Scottie pippen from a bunch of bench players where is LeBron manufactured convincing superstars from other teams to join him. LeBron took the easy way out just like a lot of players so I'll give him no props and remember back then they had the "Jordan Rules" created by the Detroit Pistons right special defense against Jordan they still couldn't stop him so I think you're wrong on all of the aspects. And every time you say that we don't give no Credence to defense back then you diminish Michael Jordan's accomplishments. You're saying that he was only so good because of defenses sucked that's basically what your whole premise was and you're completely wrong.
Yesss Yesss Everything Here Is 1000% Facts & Truth!!! What Kills Me That People Say Michael Air Jordan's Competition Was Weaker, Less Talented, Less Athletic. My God It's Ridiculous Crazy Talk. Lol They Truly Disrespected The Other Great Players. Which Is Too Many To Type Here. I Wish They Just Watch The 80's Teams, 90's Teams, & Early 2000's Teams Going Head To Head.
Hell They Watch The 80's, 90's, & Early 2000's All Stars Games Too. But They Won't Because It Will Debunk Everything They Believed In About The Michael Air Jordan & All The Other Awesome Players That Played In His Eras.
The big difference between MJ and LeBron ..... even MJs team is behind or ahead by 20 points.... he always have the same intensity as he owes every game to NBA fans.....
The hate in this reaction has reached epic proportions. He was being met at the rim, grabbed, shoved and yet he yells, "No Defense." 😂🤣
Just imagine where he would be today,with all the new training programs that were pretty much based on trying to defeat him. He’s like the 4 minute mile runner. Everyone else is following.
Every highlight of any player will always show that the offense is better than the defense given.
You’re crazy bro! Are you gonna tell me that today’s defense is better? Miss me with that!
Can't understand why a basketball fan would proudly say a guy who lost 6 Finals games and won only 3, 1 was in shorten season, is his hero? All pro athletes play to win.
You don't get it do you?😂
@@jessiegomez8209 In my time great players won more games than they lost. They wanted to be Champion. Saying I played for the Championship 10 times but lost 6 times isn't good enough.
LeBron always played against great defense smh, big glass of Hateraid.
Len Bias 🙌🙌 RIP
Jordan was in the nba Len last 2 yrs. @ UM. Question did you see them play or just highlights.
You’ve gotta understand the reason defences are better now is because of guys like MJ who came through and changed the game
Any reasonable person would never say Jordan was perfect. No-one is. He missed some shots and fumbled from time to time. And, the bad boy Pistons beat the HELL out of Jordan and he took it to win. Jordan himself said he 'work with what the defense gives me'. He worked his fundamentals which gave him all the extras. The defense never knew WHERE he was coming from because he had EVERYTHING in his 'tooll box'.
Dude: That shouldn't be in the highlight, it was luck..!
*Watches Jordan perform the same shot multiple times
Dude: ...
Only one player I have never seen Jordan posterize (could have happened though admittedly), and that was Dennis Rodman.
Dennis was half the defense by himself for most teams he played on.
Charles Barkley. Really? He never played on the Knicks
Lol right? He also said Olajuwon played on the Hawks!
It’s not true that they didn’t play defense back then. Magic Johnson and the Lakers would never have just let Michael beat them. They forced him to give the ball up and he averaged 11 assists per game on the way to his first championship.
Jow, you talk about that there is no defense, there always was defense, but when they saw Jordan with the ball the fear just made the defense crumble. You just watched highlights, you should have seen the games. Some just did not challenge him, because they were tired of getting shamed again. Some just didn't even try to jump and some even moved out of the way. You can even say that they feared to challenge him. How would you feel to be dunked on again for the 3rd time?
One reason players have longer careers is stars don't dive for balls,take charges,etc,etc,etc! YOU WEREN'T THERE,HOMEBOY!!! LOL
Its not fair man, his wing span is from the free throw to the 3 point line.
Anybody that trying to grow an audience that doesn't like Michael Jordan, shouldn't use anything with Michael Jordan. Keep it real and only show highlights of Your Favorite player LeBron James. Show all of LeBron James highlights and amazing plays, make sure theirs something different everytime. Michael Jordan had over 15 plays like that every game, and more. They didn't show all of Michael Jordan's highlights, it would be in the thousands.
Ok, so you claim defense didn't exist back in Jordan's time... No one plays defense today & that's the truth. Name one current player playing today that could've defended Jordan... Come to think about it name one player from any year ever that could've defended Jordan... Answer is there doesn't exist a human that could defend Jordan.
Yoooo This Question Right Here!!!! Says Volumes!!! Lol Hopefully We Get The Answer Lmfao
Every Player That Said He Can Guard Or Stop Mike Had Regretted It For Their Statements Still To This Day Lol
When does a trick shot, stop being a trick shot. When you keep making it over and over,it becomes a shot.
It’s funny hearing you say the defense was horrible. I’ve seen more defense in this one video than in the last 5 years in the NBA 😂
Mfs had heart, they were just afraid of being posterized by this dude. And you can't tell me otherwise because I watched it in real time, before we had internet.
