Dude Lebron is just as great stop it
December 27th, 1997. 12 year old white boy from Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada lucky enough to have an uncle and aunt who lived in Highland Park, IL. Uncle told me that morning we were going out for a bite to eat that evening at “Mike’s Place”, be sure to wear your MJ jersey and Js. Evening comes and all of sudden we are close by the United Center. I still figured we were going to MJs restaurant. Start walking and suddenly we are in front of a gate to the stadium. I looked at my uncle with a weird look and said I thought we were going to “Mikes place” for supper and he replied, with the biggest smile “Yes, why do you think we are here?” I was completely and literally shocked and wasn’t sure if it was a joke. Bulls played the Hawks that night. I remember it all so very well and always will. Few things that still stand out: 1 - the intro music, that’s when I realized it was real. I asked my uncle why the crowd was booing Luc Longley every time he touched the ball and being told it was no booing but it was the crowd yelling LUuuuuuuuuuccc!! 2 - binoculars so my uncle could see the cheerleaders better 😂😂😂 3 - rodman had 29 freaking rebounds! 4 - MJ scoring 47! And Phil taking him out with lots of time left and him not hitting 50! 5 - the crowd cheering and encouraging rodman to shoot when he had the ball, especially if he was behind the 3 point line, and him doing so and hitting a 3!!!! We were in IL for Xmas and everyone knew I was going to the game, every1 kept it secret! Best Xmas present EVER and best surprise EVER! Biggest MJ fan before and bigger after! 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐😊

It was smart for the NBA and all the players to push/market him for the betterment of the league but to be honest it was 6 dynasty years with MJ, Pip and Phil and 9 years where he averaged 30 pts and lost. Those 6 years were great though. I'm a Bulls fan

You cut out AI saying to himself to stop looking at him and saying man he’s got on the Jordans 😂
All of the stories about Jordan are my favorite stories. They are all entertaining.
THEY ALL HAVE THE SAME STORY ... HIS AURA WAS MYSTICAL... HE IS JUST DIFFERENT
"there's a new sheriff in town", to their faces, is like a sign of respect when you think about it...
To here how MJ makes people feel is amazing ❤
You know a player is great if they tell you a crazy story and also impact the rest of their life, and then they will never ever forget it. That is the GOAT 🐐
This phrase will NEVER be mentioned to describe another player in the history of the NBA "it was God disguised as MJ" or any other player in the NBA again ya feel me bro LMBAO
I like how you mention Zion never seen Jordan play. I was born in 93 so to me Kobe is the greatest player I’ve ever seen, but because of the praise alone that Jordan gets, I could never put Kobe above him as the goat. The legend and accomplishments speak for themselves, Jordan #1, Kobe #2

I got to see them both, beginning to end of their careers. They were virtually identical in their game and mentality, but the only thing that set them apart was MJ was physically gifted in a couple of ways that Kobe wasn't. MJ had those huge hands, combined with amazing bounce and quickness.

Same for me and I’m ‘93 from Chicago. Kobe kept the blueprint Jordan laid out going all the way to the end. Same reason you mentioned is why I got him #2 as well. If Jordan was Jesus, then what does that make his only student? Can’t put anybody above em. Jordan resume is ridiculous if we being honest too 🤣 10 scoring titles, 9 1st team all defense, 6 finals mvps, 6 rings, only player ever to win MVP, scoring champ, and 1st team all defense.. and he did it 4 times 🤣 1. Jordan 2. Kobe
That's the influence of MJ the 🐐OAT of the game of basketball
That first time Jordan retired, I still watched every game… and I can still remember praying to my God for him to return. And when he did, he brought us another 3 championships. 🍾🍾🍾 🐐🐐🐐💯

Have to give Michael every accolade possible. That being said, MJ made the NBA a business for the NBA players, the players were able to capitalize monetarily thru commercials, business ventures, etc because of 23. He made it all possible for black and white NBA and eventually WNBA players to make business moves to further engage their opportunities for wealth. God blessed that man
They’re all great takes but Magic ones are # 1 for me. He was there with / be MJ. He saw it happen live.

I was someone who does not like basket ball prior to watching MJ on the television set. In contrast, I was a soccer fanatic. Until I was almost 21, I went to the US for my college education from Asia. One fine day in 1991 while I was switching the channels, I stumbled upon a Chicago Bulls playoff game live on NBC. This was also the season MJ and the Bulls won their first NBA title. I was totally stunned and captivated by the moves and dunks of MJ. He made the game looks articulated and beautiful. From that moment on, I totally changed my bias towards the game. I started watching MJ and the Bulls whenever they played. Prior to that, I did come across past legends on the screen, like Karim and others. To me, it was nothing but a tall man putting the ball in the net. MJ is totally different from his predecessors of the game, he is out of this world. He made the game so fascinating to watch. He is exactly like Superman performing his superpower on a basket court. He totally changed my perception of game as a sport. It is like an atheist, not believing the existence of the higher beings or the Divine until he witnessed it with his own eyes. MJ became an indelible part of my memory.
I started following NBA in 91 right when the Bulls started winning. MJ was everywhere.
I was in 3rd grade in CHICAGO when JORDAN scored 63 on BOSTON
You don't care how much Magic embellishes the truth... He's such a wondeful storyteller :) I love his positive energy.
GOAT NOT EVEN CLOSE
Great list. Just an addition: I remember seeing Chamberlain said that “current players owe half of their paychecks to MJ”. I think it is a compliment that is hard to beat.
Without question…MAGIC’S STORY IS THE BEST!I’ve heard him tell it numerous times…hysterical each rendition.

I'm old enough to have seen all the sports stars from mid-70's to present. Kareem. Dr. J. Bird. Magic. Hakeem. Shaq. Kobe. Steph. LeBron. In other sports. Bradshaw. Payton. Montana. Rice. LT. Manning. Elway. Brady. Mahomes. Seaver. Rose. Schmidt. Brett. Ryan. Clemens. Rickey Henderson. Barry Bonds. Pujols. Mariano. Lafleur. Esposito. Bossy. Gretzky. Messier. Lemieux. Roy. Brodeur. Crosby. Pelé. Beckenbauer. Cruyff. Maradona. Ronaldo. Zidane. Ronaldino. Cristiano. Messi. Ali. Frazier. Sugar Ray. Roger Federer. Rafa Nadal. Djokovic. Carl Lewis. Michael Phelps. Usain Bolt. And the greatest and most exciting athlete ever to watch was Michael Jordan. By far.
No one will ever replicate MJ. I remember his back turned to basket layup, no one could do it with the consistency he did. He was a virtuoso.
I think people use jordan as a benchmark of greatness because he was the best of an era.

1st- awesome video. Really enjoyed it. Best story was from Lebron actually. Never seen that.
Our member saw M.J. In Up Front, he was at the McCormick Center On New Year's Eve, M.J. Rookie Year, Mike Walked In with this long black leather coat with a black fur collar with a bodyguard with him. He was like, "That's Micheal Jordan." He attended a Theater College in Downtown Chicago Columbia Collage, Not Too Far From The McCormick Center. Everyone Stopped dancing when he walked in & just stared at him as walked through the place with his bodyguard, Awesome moment!! BLESSING TO M.J. THE G.O.A.T. FOREVER & EVER!!!
The Dream Team stories are the best. Magic, Chuck, Larry have such great stories of that time! That camaraderie while maintaining competitive spirit was beautiful.
I’ll always feel lucky to grow up watching every game he played in.
Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

I remember watching his game it was like every game he did something spectacular every game
I remembered not missing a Bulls game on WGN, I needed my MJ fix 😅. The only other time its been like that for me was watching the great run the Warriors had specially when they where chasing the most wins in a season. Kurry is the 3pt GOAT, Michael was the complete package 🐐, Kobe comes in 2nd LeBron in 3rd, in my opinion.
First time I saw jordan was when he won his first dunk contest...after that I watched him.through his career...amazing to see a talented amazing player...man......the bulls team and the USA dream team....absolutely dominating...
I loved watching basketball back in the day... had many dominant teams, much talent. Every year any team could of went all the way, so MJ was in a very talented pool and came out on top... that's what makes him special, along with the bulls team... I remember being excited not only to watch one team, but, to watch all the teams come out in a new season to see the fire and intensity they had to win that championship... I have never felt this way since, drama and the new Era has lost what once was... NBA is now like the WNBA, not fun to watch and people more about themselves than to build a team legacy which will lead to your own... MJ knew this and lived it everyday... he demanded it from himself and of his teammates... got to love it...
MJ is the best because he was the greatest among the greatest.
One of my favourite Jordan moments is from Above & Beyond. The montage played after he announces his retirement leaves me breathless every time I watch it 😳 #SonicsForever
Awesome stories
Jordan was my heroe in 90´s. Out of this World
Greatest of all time, in any sport. The reverence Mike receives is like nothing I’ve ever seen.
in Philippines bout '92 i remember how everybody see him the GOAT of basketball, and as of this time still no one can match what we saw then up till now.
Micheal Jordan had the glow like in the movie "The Last Dragon". Lots of Love and Respect to Black Jesus. It was pure beauty to see him and the entire team "The Bulls" play the game of basketball. Thank you!
LeBron was cracking Me up. "I THOUGHT HE WAS ONLY ON TV😂"😅
Hilarious video.😄
Omg, how good those Dream Team scrimmages must have been! Perhaps the finest basketball ever played?🤔
Can't argue with it !!
I’m from Scotland but have family in Chicago. I went to live there for 3 months back in the 1990s. Jordan was worshipped like a God. There was massive paintings of him on the sides of buildings. Down by the lake they had a museum full,of images and memorabilia belonging to him. I visited the Nike store and there was a full size basketball court and it had a statue or something in it of the man himself. Chicago was all about basketball, and they love Mike.
Nice and cool video
I was so lucky I guess to had watched my first ever NBA game on TV, and it was the 1993 finals with BULLS v SUNS. From that point on, Michael Jordan became my favorite of all the time. The GOAT in basketball.
The Bird story after the 63 definitely got the Black Jesus narrative going, love Magic’s story and Iverson’s Dave Chappelle reference is classic, if I could I would make a GIF of an aura around MJ with some Rick James playing in the background 🤣🤣 “give it to me baby”!!!
Hope young people understand the term He is the MICHAEL JORDAN OF.... That's how humongous MICHAEL JEFFERY JORDAN THE GOAT is... He is up there, below him everyone else... THERE IS ZERO COMPARISSON, NOTHING, NADA.!!! no one is close to him, Kobe was close and yet he was still far... Imagine LeFraud, lol hes not even close, he cant compete, he needs help all the time and the media keeps promoting it, "more help for James". Lexcuse = MOOAT (Most Overrated of All time)
When he took starks and Oakley baseline and back then dunked on ewing, man gives me goosebumps everytime.
MJ 🐐🐐🐐🐐
I had the pleasure of meeting Michael in my home town of Wheaton Illinois where he held his basketball camp. I remember him playing in a pickup game of College players and pros like, BJ Armstrong, Will Purdue, Charles Oakley and others. The biggest impression he made on me was two fold, the fact that he played (literally) head and shoulders above everyone on the court! And his humility and humbleness, and his kind nature when I asked him at the end of what had been a long day to come over and sign some autographs for the group of handicapped adults that I had brought to see him! No black Jesus, no walking on water, just a humble guy who was very tired but took some time to sign up and chat up my group of about 12 individuals who will never forget that day! I myself don't worship people but the one thing that made me understand how people do, is when I went out the back where my bus was parked and his black Corvette was parked and it was covered bumper to bumper with notes from women! I really felt bad for the guy, I remember how human he was, how tired and how many people were still waiting outside to try to get a piece of him!

Okayy debate is overr
The WGN thing was a real thing. Every game every night. Staying up late to see him hit the game winner 🏆❤
At the end of the day, basketball is also a form of entertainment...Meaning, we pay or watch something to be entertained...So thru out history of basketball, there's been many great players with great handles, great shooters, great strong big men, big men can do things smaller men can, there's been great moves, and so on..but there's one thing that set Michael apart, the thing that he can with that extra ' HOLY SHIT ' response from the fans and that is ' in the air '.. And yes, there's been 'sky walkers ' aka David Thompson, Dr J ( who's actually my favorite, my GOAT ) but Michael seems to defy the gravity even more so and he's also quicker and faster in the air...THAT, is what I think sets him apart is what he does in the 'air' , and no human / player will ever be able to duplicate what he did.. We are more in 'awe ' when we see or think a human can fly or float...It's something we all dream of since we were kids.. Michael is the closest thing to it..
If MJ was a god, he wouldn't have missed. He just made everyone else look foolish, not something their ego was ready to accept
Not just MJ, in those days i always took note of how the Chicago Bulls elevated the game. The player introductions became showtime when the bulls played. fireworks, lights all that stufff.
