The thing that alot of the younger generation doesn't seem to realize, is that this was MJ every 👏 single 👏 night 👏. No plays off. No load management. No resting on defense. No backing down. He WAS thee Apex predator of the league! Players feared him. He had unrivaled determination & killer instinct. Motivated to play every game. Ten scoring titles (NBA record) in an era where physicality was at its highest, 6 Championships, 5 MVPs, 6 Finals MVPs, a Defensive Player of the Year award which was usually given to the big men of that time and countless other benchmark stats that have yet to be broken. A NCAA National Championship and two Olympic Gold Medals. Still the only player in NBA history to win the scoring title, MVP, a Championship, Finals MVP and be named to the All-Defensive 1st team in the same season. He did that 4 times! Nearly every obscure stat has Jordan's name in it. And all of this was done in the Golden Era in effectively 14 seasons. Twelve seasons if we only look at his Bulls years. Eleven if we take out the majority of his second season that he lost due to a foot injury, which was the season he came back at the end and dropped 63pts in the Boston Garden in the Playoffs. That is an insane accumulation of accomplishments and stats in such a relatively average length career. Just imagine the accomplishments and stats he could have accumulated had he played 17, 18, 19 or 20 seasons. Just imagine where he would be sitting on the "all-time" lists. How many more titles and points he would have amassed. Imagine if he doesn't retire for two years in his prime or Jerry Krause/Reinsdorf don't kick Phil to the curb, making MJ's decision to retire again that much easier. That Bulls team had the ability to win 8 straight, maybe more. Just imagine how much higher the benchmarks would have been pushed. It's insane to think about. He could have have played 18-20 seasons if the path stayed linear on his career. Also, take this into consideration. LeBron has passed Kareem in season 20. Great accomplishment by any standard of greatness. But that is a longevity stat. You know this, we know this. Kobe, Karl, LeBron and Kareem all sit above Jordan on that scoring list and they all played ruffly 20 seasons or more. All great accomplishments. Now think of this, at 14 seasons respectively, Jordan was way ahead of all 4 of them in points. Jordan was nearly 5000 points ahead of LeBron at that point in their careers - not to mention he was ahead of LeBron in every statistical category other than assists at that point as well. So if you do the math while keeping things in perspective with common sense sprinkled in, Jordan potentially surpasses Kareem in his 17th season given the averages. Years ahead of LeBron. I mean, simply give Jordan back his second season due to injury and the two seasons he retired in his prime, right there is nearly Kareem passing territory. He also most likely catches and surpasses Stockton for steals leader as well. So when you look at it that way, it becomes quite clear that Jordan's career and potential was on a whole other level. Not knocking LeBron or anyone else. Greats are great, no matter the way we look at it. But one guy simply towered over the rest. Perspective tells us that. Luckily I got to see his career unfold. It was a remarkable time to watch basketball. And that isn't just nostalgia talking either. It is just the way it was. Game in and game out. "You are simply the standard by which basketball excellence is measured." - David Stern Great reaction though! I appreciate individuals that respect greatness as a whole.

Ha. We're the same age and I think the same thing. I think when Obama gave him the presidential medal and said that there's a reason why we call people who reach the peak the "Michael Jordan of...." is the only thing you need to understand how amazing he was. But when we were young -- think he made everyone our age want to do what he did in some way. And yeah... if anything I think the highlights kinda sell him short. For most of the highlights in this videos, there could be a while compilation of him doing that thing really well. And it barely scratches the surface on his defense, and really doesn't come close to capturing how hard he played and fought. The highlights make it look easy, but those of us who watched know what a difficult and physical uphill climb it was for him (not because the game was hard for him to play, but because they would do everything to try to stop him and hold him down to only 30 ppg or less, or physically knock him out of games or seasons).

And then there are people like Bruce Lee and MJ whose fame transcends the sport by far, And talk about them decades after their peak. If you go to most continents in places that have media and ask "who is Michael Jordan?" or "Who is Bruce Lee?" Plenty of people will know. But even under 25 in the US if I ask "Who is Wayne Gretsky?" I'd be curious how many would even know, and I doubt people in China or countries in Africa or Pacific areas would know. And I'm not saying that everyone in the world knows who people like MJ and Bruce Lee are -- but with Wayne as well known as he is in Hockey, I think it's about when people's fame transcends the sport they're in. It's easier to do now -- to transcend into a brand. Before social media it was harder to do, so when people did it prior to like 2005 or so, it was far more iconic when they hit that level of fame.

Air Jordan was excellence personified. He never failed to show up to end all questions for who's the best simultaneously or all time past present or future.

I’m a Boston Celtics fan. In 1986 during the playoffs, Jordan scored 63. We won the Championship that year but I remember thinking this man is going to be a problem. Years later we are watching the receipts of what I said💯

Even the most faithful Lebron fans are mesmerized by Jordan’s highlights 😂

Everyone is entitled to their opinion so I'll respect yours. Magic is my favorite player all-time and was my GOAT until I saw what MJ did to one of the greatest teams all-time (86 Celtics). And I didn't need to hear Bird say "that was God disguised as Jordan" to come to my conclusion. I'm old enough to have witnessed prime Mike in person. I saw him three different times vs Clips at old LA Sports Arena. And what my 20/20 vision saw was something it hadn't seen before or after him. There were plenty of amazing aerial acrobats that were not in this mixtape. I've also seen prime Bron in person and it's no hyperbole when I say it's not even close. MJ had the much faster twitching muscles which granted him the superior raw athleticism, reflexes, hand-eye coordination, bounce, hang-time, mid-air body control, quickness (off dribble or jab-step), agility, flair, etc. MJ could also leap off one or two feet while Bron leaps off one. MJ had much better footwork due to much better fundamentals. And Jordan's maniacal mental was of killers in serial. While Bron's mental is Monistat vaginal. And that's why he's always needed a multitude of All-Stars. Mike only need one prime All-Star. An All-Star that he helped mold to become Wonder Boy to his Batman. Glad you mentioned his relentless energy. That's one thing that was legendary and is not talked about much. The guy would golf, drink and smoke before games. Then he'd expend so much energy at both ends and he'd still have the endurance to take over late in 4th quarters. Let's not forget - he hardly slept. While Bron spends millions in nutrition and sleeps in Michael Jackson's hyperbaric chamber and he doesn't have the stamina to take over late in games. If there was at least one player today doing only half of the things Mike did, I would renew my NBA League Pass ASAP.

I swear I've seen this mixtape at least 20 times and still tear up every time at the end because it reminds me how lucky I was to watch him every game and how much better(competitive with respect for each other) the game was then. It sucks getting older (40 now) and having to tell young people that there really was someone better then anyone they have ever seen. Watching basketball during MJ's reign was something a lot of people don't get to be a part of and it was something I don't think anything else will ever top for me.

The crazy thing, is that you could make 10 more videos with all different clips..He was Jordan every night and that's why he's the Goat

MJ was widely considered the goat b4 he scored 18k points. In hindsight u can say why didnt he play 20 years. The fact is he didnt have anybody to chase after the 1st 3peat. He still came back and did another 3. Much respect for enjoying greatness and not turning it into a pi$$ing contest.

This is why I've always said MJ was a better leader than Lebron. Jordan set the intensity levels on both ends. When you see your leader giving everything on every play you follow suit. Lebron doesn't have that same intensity at all times, especially on defense (even in his prime)

The man was a MACHINE! I witnessed it and just watching this video its still almost unbelievable! GOAT!!

One of the things about Jordan and this is a testament to his greatness is that even if you HATED the Bulls, You LOVED watching MJ. You could be the most die hard Pistons or Nick's or whatever fan and you're still in awe of and appreciate MJ.

Jordan is the only player I’ve seen in real time that looked like he took an extra step up in the air while in the air…..🐐

Respect for LeBron and Curry and KD. Kawhi and Kyrie. All the stars of this era. They're doing what they can to make the game watchable, but if you watched MJ through the 80's and 90's, there is no contest for the most exciting player. The man had no weaknesses.

It's almost like he didn't know who MJ really was, Crazy! Being born an early 80's kid I'm glad I grew up watching him live, he was amazing!

Jordan is by far the greatest basketball player to ever grace the NBA hardwood. If you missed, you truly missed something special. I mean the championships are a great icing obviously, but that's a team effort, the same can be said of the fact that from October 1990 to June 1998 the Jordan led Bulls won 6 titles with 2 3-peats, and NEVER lost more than 2 consecutive games in that entire time while Jordan was leading them, but again that's team domination behind an incredible and relentless leader. However, when you can say the man took a joke of a team to THE premier show to see with sell out crowds at every single game, the man won 10 scoring titles and has the highest ppg in NBA history while maintaining efficiency, and to go along with those 10 scoring titles, he also has a DPOY award, 3 steals titles, and was selected to 9 All-Defensive FIRST teams, that's all THE MAN, not the team. Michael Jordan is also one of only 3 players in history to record 200+ steals and 100+ blocks in a single season (the other two being Pippen and Olajuwon) and Jordan is the ONLY player to EVER do it twice. Jordan also played in a far more physical league than we see today, which can attribute to players today playing longer and racking up career total stats, but even with the physicality and his relentless nature, Jordan also played all 82 games 9 times in his career, the last time being at age 40, and he played at least 78 games 12 times. That's reliability and another reason you don't see players like Jordan with 20 year careers, he poured every ounce of energy into every play, every night, on both ends of the floor. MJ#23 = The 🐐! NO question or worthy debate.

I have seen both Jordan and Lebron play live. I was not overtly a Jordan fan back then I was a huge sonics fan and the loss to the bulls was painful I thought Gary Payton did one of the best defensive jobs on Jordan ever and it still wasn’t enough. The era of basketball back then was a lot different than now. When Michael played even if he was playing against your team you would find yourself watching him mouth open in shock wondering what you just saw there was something otherworldly about it and even if he was beating your team you still knew you were seeing something special. I have never once had that feeling watching Lebron. The current era is so much less physical than it was then. 80% of Michael’s scores in this video would get an and 1 in today’s NBA and maybe even and intentional foul called and Jordan did that with out all of the theatrical flopping of todays game. This mix tape Jordan isn’t just beating defenders he’s beating hall of fame legends the best teams with the best players in the most competitive and physical era of basketball ever.

Jordan is a brand name that will never ever be forgotten!!! Till this day we buy Jordan shoes, clothes Jordan everything pretty much!!! The question is will we be buying Lebrón in 20 years? I haven’t bought Lebrón shoe in years but I still keep buying J’s!!!!

I am a Jordan guy. To see all those plays live in the 90's was a blessing. Props to LeBron for hit talent but Jordan was different bro. He did what he wanted when he wanted period. He would tell his defenders what he was going to do and they still couldn't stop him. I feel privileged to have seen him play. Never saw it live but damn. It was the same as watching Tyson or Pedro Martinez in their prime. Pure perfection

Favorite mj quote, “ when I played , I wanted to play against the best ,..not with the best” that’s something lbj can’t say

MJ the goat. I grew up on Jordan. It was never no off games. It looked like that mixtape every time he played every game win or lose

When you're a master at something, you're the "Michael Jordan" of that thing for a reason.

Jordan was different from everyone. It was so fun watching him play. I grew up at the right time. Jordan and the Bulls on WGN a few nights a week. I never missed a game.

He rarely got tired. He played 48 minutes REGULARLY. He was a freak.

Wasting him play live was unreal. No one. Played the game like he did. Basketball hasn't even been thesame since he left.

I know you said these were highlights but I seen it firsthand and every single game was just like this. He left everything on the court every single game. It was something to see.

Jordan is the definition of the most complete GOAT! He had no weaknesses on both ends of the court while being clutch with it! His game was a spectacular poetry in smooth motion!

In the 90s almost everyone on the planet knew who MJ was. It was star no. 1 in all fields, not just basketball or sports. He was the best NBA player almost every year in Chicago, but also the best athlete in the world in all sports and the most dominant. Undisputed. After he shaved his head, this became a fashion in the NBA, then in other sports, such as soccer :)

Walked away and came back and still dropped folks off. Bro was a different animal.

Everybody who was there and saw Michael play, know he's the GOAT!!!

you know jordan is the GOAT because every single person alive (with common sense, and even a slight interest in sports) would be watching his games if he were playing today. that's his level of greatness. no one comes close.

This man could access so much vertical off no steps. And no one can shoot on the way down like him. Also greatest mid range shooter in history, 1A finisher at the rim with lebron in terms of effectiveness. Prime Russell Westbrook hop off the screen energy on both sides of the floor...just god given energy. And lets not forget his 24 straight games as a point guard in 88.....30.4 pts, 10.7 assists, 9.2 rebounds, 2.4 steals, on 50% shooting.

I saw magic and bird in their prime, MJ in his prime, Hakeem in his prime, Shaq and Kobe in their prime, KD, steph, and LBJ in his. MJ not just the greatest basketball player ever…He’s the greatest player ever in any team sport. His pride did not allow him to take a single play off…ever. He played in all 82 games NINE TIMES. Played injured, played sick. And he was just as serious in practice. He never stepped on any court with good intentions. Greatest competitor ever…And also the most skilled. And also…He could actually fly.

MJ is not only the GOAT but he's the LEGEND !

Awesome seeing a great reaction to an all-time talent. Living in the present doesn’t mean we shouldn’t appreciate or forget the past

He did these things every night and really turned it on in the playoffs it it were possible

MJ made everyone look like high schoolers, totally in a league by himself. I grew up watching him, me and everyone I knew was watching sports center just to see what what MJ did. Dude was an artist painting masterpieces on the hardwood.

In my life, I saw live two sportsmen that were in a league of their own: MJ and F1’s Senna. It’s not that they were good - they were magical. Really, like wizards. Once they took the stage, time stood still, the air felt different, and everyone knew that history was being written right under our noses. More than athletes, they were artists.

MJ vs Bron? The difference between MJ fans and Bron fans is simple, MJ fans got to watch both at their prime. Some people just didn't bother to watch MJ. And the best things about MJ are not these highlights, these are just icing on the cake. It's the consistently unstoppable midrange jumper, the clutch, and his impossible combination of finesse, endurance, speed and strength.

Now you see with your own eyes would we already have known. Seeing MJ play is a thing of beauty. It's really about how you feel watching him play. Even all the greats of today, including your boy LeBron, still hold him in high esteem....for a reason. He's The GOAT. PERIOD!!!

Great reaction man. I'm glad they put this mixtape together. That's how everyone felt every single time Jordan stepped on to the floor. He was relentless, his movements were so different and his creativity in the air is still unmatched to this day. He was the ultimate competitor and by the time he completed his first 3-peat, he was pretty much universally considered the GOAT. When he completed the 2nd 3-peat, he became a mythical being in the eyes of sports fans. Jordan was able to retire twice, but still accomplished so much in so little time. We all felt he could do whatever he wanted, because there was nothing left to prove. He came back to the Wizards with no intention to win a chip, he just wanted to play and help his business.

Ive watched this mixtape probably 50 times and every single time im like wow😅

I’m not a basketball fan at all. Never have been. But you know what? When I turned a channel and saw MJ playing, channel would not get turned until the game was over. You couldn’t help but watch. He was insane.

Michael played this way every game, enormous amount of energy and skill unmatched to this day. Played through injury and illness. I saw him play a lot in Chicago and Milwaukee. Was there in Milwaukee for the 72nd winning season. I have not been as interested in basketball since Michael retired. Still watch but don't have the same feeling about any other player.

Can you imagine experiencing MJ’s era growing up? Now you know why it’s a huge disrespect to compare anyone to MJ especially Lebron. MJ didn’t have any weaknesses at all. He was the greatest to ever play period

My youth was MJ's NBA. Not an exaggeration, it was his league, even in the presence of legends like Magic, Bird, and Ewing. They were all HOF in their own right, but they didn't hold a match, let alone a candle, to Jordan. He was the league, and everyone else was a side character. They were the Han Solo to Jordan's Luke Skywalker. Ain't nobody ever owned the league like Jordan did. Hell, he used to suit up at practice for the Bobcats/Hornets when he was the co-owner years after his prime and still schooled youngins. Jordan in his 40's, years after he was out of the game, still could've thrown on a jersey and balled out. LeBron was a generational talent, but Jordan was an all-time talent. Prime Jordan would've clowned prime Bron just like he did every other HOF player he came up against

Eye test alone tells you who’s the 🐐. Forget numbers which MJ still outperforms everyone in those. Yes including you know who…

He simply was the greatest . I have watched players since Bird,Magic all the way to current , MJ is the GOAT and the ones that don’t think so never saw him play.

Good point on “we’re not measuring number of titles or points scored”. I think MJ is the greatest ever for qualitative reasons. When he stepped on the court, all his opponents soiled themselves. Ask them, they’ll admit. That’s why MJ is the best ever.

You've only seen a small glimpse of what Michael has done. Some moves brought you to tears, others pure shocking. I've been watching b-ball for 60 years. Sorry to say know one has seen this kind of talent. To the extent when he retired from the game, millions of ball players retired from the game too. He was and will be a once-in-a-lifetime player. Thank you for the Love of the game Mike. Our dreams of the game will always be what dreams were made of. We were eye witnesses of the GOAT, his name is Mike Jordan.

Highlight? Every game that he was playing was a highlight. He is the GOAT!

Who ever made this highlight real is top tier. The footage in order of his years beginning to end, young...first 3 peat.... 2nd 3-peat. No one was safe. All players have good, avg and bad games... But when Jordan was on the court, any and every game could turn into a highlight show torching of the other team. Once the Bulls got the right pieces around Jordan it was inevitable.

You are right when you said its the plays they dont talk about because he had too many of them 😂

I'm comfortable saying that the only other players I've ever seen that can rival MJ's footwork are Kobe and Hakeem. Except MJ had the giant hands to do pump fakes that would humiliate people! Also, people drool about LeBron's dunks, but the vast majority of his notable posters are against people significantly shorter than him like Terry or John Lucas. MJ had posters against every dominant and/or defensive minded center of his era. Hakeem, Robinson, Olajuwon, Ewing, Laimbeer, Mourning and Shaq!

20 years can't be your measuring stick for greatness, Kareem played for 20 years before Michael but yet MJ was still considered the GOAT. The closest we have ever had to MJ was the late great Kobe Bryant (RIP). Lebron is a great talent no doubt but MJ is the measuring stick by which we judge Greatness!

the Jordan era wasn't a place in time. it was an experience.

If you didn’t see it at the time I can fully understand why the youngsters today can’t believe this player existed. But he did. Lebron a great but he’s second because of the level of performance Jordan achieved. Defensive player of the year and scoring champ in same season. Come on. Only man to do it.

Exactly that’s what I keep telling people. If you are truly a real nba fan who has seen generations of basketball you can’t compare Lebron and Jordan. Lebron if anything should be compared with Magic. Lebron is basically Magic 2.0 on steroids. The are both facilitators with the basketball using high IQ. They both can play just about any position even center if they have to. The closest thing to Jordan mindset and skill set is Kobe in which you still got to give it to Jordan because Kobe just basically patterned his game after Jordan. Kobe wasn’t as good on defense as Jordan. Jordan was a beast on both ends of the court and his passing is underrated as well.

Coming from somebody who actually saw him live, how can anyone say this man is not the best basketball player ever!

I'm 39 and I'm here to tell you it was a absolute privilege to watch him growing up. To witness it when it was in motion was like witnessing something you can't explain but straight greatness. Facto

Let me tell you something young man I've been fortunate enough to see them both and I'm going to break it down for you real simple there is nothing absolutely nothing that LeBron James does better on a basketball court than Michael Jordan it's that simple and it doesn't get any more simpler than that

And what ya'll have to remember is this was at the time when, I don't like to say that the league was more physical. But it was only because back then the big men which was the centers and power forwards got paid to play in the paint and keep everyone else out of the paint from scoring easy buckets. But in today's league alot of the big men play outside because they are better shooters. So that leaves the paint wide open. But notice most of all of Jordan points are in the paint over 7 foot centers.

No one is letting him boom it. He's just BOOMING it..

There will never be a player like MJ ever again. Dominant in every aspect of the game. No flaws!!!

Mike was built like that 🐐.. MICHAEL JEFFREY GOAT JORDAN IS THE GREATEST EVER TO LACE EM UP. He was like poetry in motion he didn't just jump and dunk MJ COULD FLY he wud ELEVATE BEAUTIFULLY ...HE PLAYED AMAZING DEFENSE AS WELL

Great reaction, you just earned yourself a sub. My opinion is that discussion has to be for second place, the distance between this alien and everybody else is just too big

I live in the Caribbean, basketball was not a big deal here before Jordan, we got together at the one house that haf cable to watch every Bulls game, some houses had an admission fee to get in and people would wait in line so they could go in amd watch the game, that's how big Jordan is, he turned the world into basketball, the NBA is what it is now thanks to that legend.

It didn't matter where you lived when I was a kid, everybody wanted to be like Mike. I got to watch this growing up and every game was a highlight reel. Going out to bars with a bulls game on was always electric. When he got hurt and missed a game, the whole country was sad. You gotta think, this man was doing this daily to some of the greatest to ever play the game and he torched them. He changed the game forever and it's never been the same since he left the game. Michael Jordan is basketball.

So nice to hear that😄😄One thing he could always do is turn adults into kids. Your reaction is subdued😄 18:41
