He didn’t start winning without Scottie and Phil, he didn’t become a perfect leader with how he treated his teammates, and he never was the perfect player, but he worked hard and earned his stripes. He accepted he needed Scottie, he accepted he was to tough on his teammates, and he accepted he wasn’t perfect, but that didn’t stop him from having THE perfect career.

His vert is still tied for the record, and that 40... as if Tyreek Hill was 6'6" and could jump over an NBA center.

Jordan was 6'6" doing this to 7ft+ legit big man centers that could and would body people w/out a foul call. Driving to the bucket and finishing like this was not a guards game in the 80's, nor was the post game. Jordan changed all that. You mentioned his hands, you can find sites that have hand measurements from past NBA players, Jordan's measures w/those same 7ft'rs he was playing against; its why he could do what he did on O and D. There is actually a highlight vid of him that shows just how hard teams started fouling him(specificaly the Pistons) they would hammer him, grab his ankles, club down on his head and wrap his entire body to stop him from getting to the hoop. No flag's or tech's back then for that stuff, just 1 of 5 fouls. He took a ton of his game of Dr J and E Baylor, and if you watch the Bird ultimate mixtape, you'll see a lot of similarities there also. He was just great, at everything. For part of a season he had to play PG and he averaged a trip dub during that time.

The thing about Jordan is his work ethic is unparalleled. Doesn't matter which generation he played, he worked harder and longer, and expected more of himself than any other basketball player in history.

Probably will never see anything like him ever again. Giant hands on a guy who could jump higher than everyone, who was faster than everyone, who had a killer mindset, who brought all his teammates up to levels they could never have gotten to, who worked harder in the gym and on the practice court than anyone, who had the grace and agility of a giant cat. In the postgame locker room, Bird was asked to talk about Jordan's historical performance. He said, “It's just God disguised as Michael Jordan.”

One underrated aspect of MJ's game was his movement without the ball. Didn't need to run around like a headless chicken to get free.

The GOAT conversation is tough because of so many different positions and styles of play. I'm a Jordan fan because I saw his entire career and promise there's never been a better shooting guard. I don't like comparing some positions, especially centers to smaller players because they had such a different role back in the day. My favorite way to pick is by all time starting 5 which still gets difficult when picking a center. I have Magic at the point, Jordan at shooting guard, Bird at small forward, Duncan at power forward then at center I can't pick 1. Kareem was great but so was Wilt so which one do I pick? A lot of people who don't pick Wilt say it's because he didn't have enough rings but to me that's silly. If he played on the Celtics instead of Russell he would have all those championships as well. Shaq was a monster out there but Hakeem is the most skilled center and as great a shot blocker as anyone in history so who do you pick? If I was forced to pick a GOAT I would go with Jordan.

MJ did not need a 3 ball to do this. 30.1ppg for his career, most in NBA history 33.4ppg in the playoffs, most in NBA history 33.6ppg in 6 Finals appearances, most in NBA history 41.0ppg in a Finals series, most in NBA history PER (Player Efficiency Rating) Highest in history for both the regular season (27.91) and the playoffs.

Nice reaction, thanks for checking this out. The next MJ video you should check out is his Voyager video - it fills in some of the gaps of this one with a bunch of plays that are even more amazing than many in this one. Answers to your questions and other respsonses: MJ's resume highlights: - 6 rings & 6 finals MVPs - 5 MVPs (tied w Russell for 2nd most behind Kareem's 6) - 1 defensive player of the year (1 of only 5 guards ever to win it) - 9 all-defensive 1st teams (tied for most ever) - 10 scoring titles (most ever) - 3 steals titles (MJ's still 3rd all-time in steals) - 10 all-NBA 1st teams & 14-time all-star in 15 seasons (only season he wasn't an all-star was when he came back for the last 17 reg season games in 95 after his 1st retirement) MJ's tied for the best vertical ever at 48", which was 10" more than Kobe's 38". Word on the street is that MJ actually got measured at 52" once, but not sure if that's really confirmed. Bruh, that wasn't a pushoff, don't hate. Russell got his shit crossed and his momentum caused him to slip. There's a reverse angle that clearly shows that there was barely any force pushing forward from MJ and his hand slid down more than pushing forward, and it was impossible to generate much force given the angle of MJ's arm and his body position. Plus, NONE of the Jazz coaches, players including Russell, or fans said anything to the ref or booed after that play, which obviously they would've done if there was any suspicion of a pushoff. Keep in mind that players in that era didn't grow up with a 3 pt line, which wasn't instituted in colleges until 1986 and high schools in 1987. So MJ didn't play with a 3 pt line until his rookie yr in the NBA. With his work ethic, if he had been able to practice with one early on, he would've been good from 3 instead of just average.

We're prime Tyson combos. I lift the chin with an uppercut and you flat-line'em with left-hook. And if that don't work we'll bite them ears off.

It's exciting to watch someone see Jordon's stuff for the first time. I love what I've seen of Steph btw. I gotta do a reaction as an old Michael Jordan fan on all the new players that I don't know. That would be fun.

Jordan averaged as many points as he did without putting up 3’s nonstop as players do today! Tougher Defense, no ticky-tack fouls and he slashed to the rim never avoiding contact. He is the G.O.A.T

Tough finishes? He did it his whole career. Everyone tried to take him down, literally.

The final tri of MJ, Pip and Rodman was such a great spectacle to watch. Was poetry in motion.

He's ahead of our time. There is no one that has the complete package still like him.

He wasn’t ahead of his time my guy…we can start here..name another hooper he could jump off two feet reach max vertical in full sprint? You can’t

MJ could jump almost a foot higher than Kobe and couple feet further…prime for prime Kobe couldn’t fk with Mike

like someone mentioned, he played every play like his life depended on it. THAT is no longer seen. Michael Jordan is its own legendary theme. The way he electrified the game, changed the way it was played, inspired millions to be better... if you weren't there during the late 80s and early 90s...it is impossible to describe that Era.... Micheal Jordan was a killer, never gave up.... ever!! He was up against legends on almost every team back then and still dominated... the rules were tough, it was waaay more physical, and he still dominated... he was NEVER swept in the finals.... He never left or was traded... he stayed loyal to his original team.... that's loyalty man... So yeah, we know he's the goat and that's because he earned that.... we have massive respect for him. simply amazing and for me the golden Era of sports, music, and art.... it's been a gradual decline ever since. I can't even watch most sports today.... so boring, uninspired, no real legends anymore.... not for me.

This Bull’s mix is like Christmas morning 🎁 There is no other player who possesses this skill level and then you factor in the pure athletic ability. Yeah it’s unreal 🏀🔥🦄

I grew up in Chicago in the late 80s through the 90s... I was extremely fortunate enough to have attended several Bulls games while Jordan was there. I cannot explain just how big of a World Wide Superstar Michael Jordan was... IS. I find it difficult to imagine anyone ever having his work ethic, drive to win at all costs, and God given talent, all combined into one player... The GOAT

Jordan, Johnson, and Bird are the 3 greatest players of all time.

Or Bulls Knicks games. Those were epic. After the bulls series against the Knicks, the finals were a letdown.

I was fortunate to watch MJ growing up. He was the ONLY reason I watched NBA. It baffles me how todays athletes very rarely use his business model. His marketing team was second to none. EVERYONE loved Mike.

How do you dismiss Magic Johnson so quickly? I think you should watch a highlight reel of him. I'm not saying he's Michael Jordan, however he's top 5 for sure.

I enjoyed the reaction. You are right, this is by far the best Jordan highlight I have seen. That pass you said that he probably missed the layup though, Scottie dunked it. You can see it on Jordan's passing highlights. You should check them out. You will be shocked to see how good a passer Mike was.

I grew up watching Jordan, I have not seen anything to compare since in any sport.

I love the finger wag at mutumbo when he dunked on him. Like don't even try to challenge me at the rim Lmao.

He did it as the ultimate taunt to Mount Mutumbo. Mutumbo was famous for wagging his finger after he blocked his opponents shots sort of like saying not in my house. Him & MJ were talking in a training room for the all star game that year. They were arguing about whether or not MJ had dunked on him at any point in his career. MJ being MJ made it a point of emphasis to get him in a way that he’d never forget when they met up later that season. He dunked on him that game & used Mutumbo’s own finger wag taunt to sear it in his mind that I got you & now you’ll never forget it lol. Watching those games were great memories witnessing his career play out.

He played like this every game

We can't compare Jordan to any player. Jordan is simply a cheat code of basketball.

That's why I say Michael Jordan is and always will be the GOAT NBA player. I guarantee you that no one nowadays could do any of the plays Michael Jordan did. I sure wish that basketball nowadays was like it was back when Jordan was on the court.

Yo!!!! As a Warriors fan I definitely have Stef in my own top 10!!! MJ has the #1 spot though!!!! I got see him play both live and always on TV too!! Hello from Northern California!!!! 😁❤✌🏼

loved how you mentioned the NBA for giving us this mixtape, u prolly the 1st out of 40+ reaction i ve seen to this clip

I can't believe this shit! I grew up in the Jordan era. I grew up in the Bay. West Oakland to be exact, so I've had the pleasure of watching a few dynasties. I love Curry. If you watch his game you'll see a lot of the greats in him. I particularly like the way he gets to the basket in traffic. Bro Jordan was like Muhammad Ali, or a Bruce Lee when it came to his craft. They practice and study until their bodies collapse and mind breaks. Guess what they do after that? Keep going! Start watching WHOLE game playoff series. You'll see. #murderedonbothendsequally

Older players were slightly stiffer though, but they had better fundamentals and were less erratic than the players today, not to mention they played with more intensity (from the late 80s to the early-mid 00s). I notice with the players today they seem to fall a lot when they make dunks, whereas that wasn't the case so much back then

And Kawhi's name can be put next to MJ's when comparing them, solely because Kawhi has a similar style with the hands to pull it off. It doesn't mean Kawhi is better or even close to the level MJ was at, it's strictly from a stylistic view. Kawhi reminds me more of Wizard's Jordan than anything. Kobe played similar to 95-98 Jordan, but nobody was like 89-93 Jordan, he was unique and the true master of the game

When I hear people say thats not my era and "MY GOAT is.." I take it as admitting Jordan's THE GOAT.

I love seeing people react to the greatness of MJ! Subscribed immediately, would love to see you react to more old school players like Magic and Bird

To put simply this mixtape, is and was how MJ played night after night. He was always on kill mode and cared more about winning the game than any of the accolades he received during his career. He never took a game off since he felt that if fans paid their money to see him play he played and gave them a memory of what the Greatest to ever lace them up was. Jordan played in a era where if you drove the lane you paid a price for it, not like today's game where the lane is wide open, and fouls are called for breathing to hard on an opposing player. I was blessed to have seen him play in person and it is an experience I will never forget. If MJ played today with the current rules he would average whatever he would feel like. Some 40 or more I tend to agree with that analogy. Jordan was in his own class.

If stats were the only thing taken into consideration MJ could of arguably been MVP almost every season of his career. This guy is one of one.

He easily should have 10 MVPs ....they just didn't want to give it to him every year

Always love seeing the 🐐 reaction

Hadn’t seen nothing like MJ back then and I Damn sure haven’t seen nothing like him now

Your reaction is spot on. The thing much of the younger generation doesn't seem to understand when it comes to Jordan, this was him EVERY 👏 SINGLE 👏 NIGHT 👏! No plays taken off. No load management. No wasted plays. This guy killed you on both ends of the court every play. And he would do it after a night out at the casino without an ounce of fatigue. He was a machine. So it is nice to see people like you, in this generation, understand what this man was capable of and the heights he took basketball. Props for that! But then you have people say he played against "plumbers". No, he MADE THEM look like plumbers. He made many of them look average because he was so far ahead of the curve. Six championships, no losses. Six finals MVPs. Five league MVPs. Ten scoring titles. Countless All NBA and All Defensive First Teams. A Defensive Player of the Year Award in an Era where that award was usually awarded to the big men. Two Olympic Gold Medals. Hell, even a College National Championship at UNC in which he buried the game winning shot. He played in arguably the toughest Defensive Era. Still averaged 30+. And he did ALL of this in 15 seasons which includes his two seasons with the Wizards at the age of 40 and his handful of games when he came back from first retirement (or 14 seasons if we want to take out his second season that was almost completely lost to a foot fracture). Twelve seasons if we JUST count his Bulls years. Imagine if MJ didn't retire the first time, IN his prime. Imagine if Kraus kept them together for a year or two more after winning their 6th. Imagine Jordan having a 18, 19 or 20 season career. He could have. So just imagine where his stats would have been. How many more titles he would have had. In comparison, at 14 seasons respectively, Lebron was behind MJ in every major statistical category other than assists. He had 2 titles to Jordan's 6. Less MVPs, scoring titles and no DPOY. Had Jordan played 19 seasons respectively to LeBron right now, MJ would have had over 40k points and most likely been sitting number one in steals well. And the hardware gap was huge between the two. Accolades for days. See, I respect LeBron, just as I respect guys like Durant, your man Curry, Kobe (who is the closest we have ever seen to Jordan) and beyond. But Jordan simply packed in MORE accomplishments, both personal and team wise, in far less time than anyone else. I use LeBron as the example, because he is the guy everyone wants to make comparisons with. What he is doing right now is great, but look at how many years he has played to surpass previous accomplishments held my Jordan. Eventually if you play long enough, you can get them all. But when you look at Jordan's career with hundreds of less games and where he stands with achievements, it becomes clear just how dominant Jordan was. The argument of the GOAT, to me, hasn't even been close. It's okay to love your favorite player, everyone does and will, but as a basketball fan, you can't deny who sits at the top. "Jordan is the standard by which basketball excellence is measured" David Stern Solid reaction!

Some players were Really Good at one thing or good at a couple. Jordan was Great at everything he did! Noone has the Heart,Toughness, Will and Ice in his Veins like Jordan.

I lived through MJ. Nothing comes close. The man is singular. Will be the goat forever in all of sport.

Yep the dunk in traffic against the Heat (12:53) is my all time favourite too - running on fumes!

He is the only player that I have seen with no weakness.

If want to see how aggressive they allowed them to play watch a Jordan vs Piston game.

I'm a Magic Johnson fan completely and utterly. Michael Jordan was on a completely different level and carried not only the Bulls but the NBA to places they had never been.

And that is what makes him head and shoulders above everyone else

Nice Finally a younging seeing the light! Stay Klear my friend!

Jordan was the most elegant explosive player i have ever seen...his game is just beautiful!!! The dunks, the crazy layups, the fadeaways, the great defense its insane....dont know how anyone can say lebron is even close to this man

MJ GREATEST OF ALL TIME🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀

I was lucky enough to see him play live he was and always will be the GOAT when have you ever seen a player win the best defensive award along with a scoring title in the same season Jordan was absolutely dominate at both ends of the floor and his swagger is unmatched by anyone I've ever seen step on to the hardwood floor i mean he could create so much room and hit fadaways shooting over his right or left shoulder and make it look easy I was a starting point guard in school and I can tell you that is so hard its no joke and he made everything look so easy and Flawless

We dont have footage on 50% of his 1st 4 or 5 years in the league....his most explosive years. A friend recorded (vcr) a game by accident as a kid (were not bulls fans) and we played out a move that seemed to defy gravity over and over again. Tape broke and I've never seen the move again. After years of scouring the internet, found out I wasn't alone....a lot of that early stuff wasn't recorded and/or archived.

This vid will give Jordan the recognition he deserves.

My feet and legs still hurt from playing in Jordan’s but that was the best we had 30 years ago 😂🐐

I love the surprise on the youngins faces when they actually see a glimpse of what MJ was really like. The video still doesn't do him justice if you can believe that, you had to see him live to fully appreciate his game. This coming from a die hard knicks fan, Jordan is the GOAT in all sports, nobody has ever been that good at any sport ever, period.

jordan and curry are the only players to change the way the game is played, in my life time.. it hard sometimes to watch the nba now cuz since jordan left it’s like watch bootleg jordan’s ever since .. like the kid who made this video... he doesn’t understand the game he watches now is that way because the way jordan influenced how the game is played .. people were amazed back then cuz jordan was so far head of his time.. so far that he would be ahead even had he played now ... lebron maybe the king but jordan was a basketball god ..

Perfect PIP setup. Dope reaction. That play vs the Nets still the best move I've ever seen, and I vividly remember watching that live (while wearing my 6s)!!

Jordan's shoes are so popular 20 years after his retirement because he was THAT great.

No matter where you were. You came home and watched ESPN for M.J.s highlights. Expecting to see something spectacular. EVERY, and I mean EVERY game night he came to play. Even after gambling ALL night and no sleep or 18 holes of golf before a game he was dynamite!!! Iam ever so greatfull that WE who seen him in his Era can bear witness to his Greatness.
