The quality of the editing of this video is on a level of its own, just as Jordan as a player was on a level of his own. It's worth watching just to admire the skill and judgment which went into making it. Good selection of shots, good choice of music, good balance between offense and defense; judicious slow-motion (e.g. 1:45), needed fast-motion to keep the pacing (4:25), perfect synchronization between action and musical beat (2:03, 4:02), well-chosen blending of commentary into the music (2:08-2:13, 2:35-2:38), necessary interruptions and changes of pace to keep the flow (4:18-4:32), repetition and magnification to focus the viewer's attention on the critical point of action (5:10, and 8:05-8:10) and even from multiple angles (5:16), preservation of most-recognized baskets for lynch-pin moments in the video (4:27, 10:26), and best of all, the seamless flow between similar shots (8:52, 10:02). There is a rare degree of skill on display here.

Jordan was the GOAT just based on the eye test alone. I don't know how anyone can watch his countless highlights and not say he was the best. Oh, and by the way, he was also the fiercest competitor, greatest scorer the NBA has ever seen, played defensively almost as well as he played offensively, won 6 championships without losing one finals, and all the while denying almost an entire generation of hall of famers the chance to win a ring. LeBron is amazing in his own right, but let's not kid ourselves on who the true GOAT is.

And, thing is, I don't think every sport / craft necessarily has its clear _"one";_ in a lot of them it's not super clear ...but basketball is a category where it's very very clear (Michael Jordan.)

This video is a damn good showcase of what he could do...every single game you knew there was something he'd do that you'd never seen before and for all of the highlight reel stuff, his fundamentals were incredible.

This is what a man that refuses to lose looks like. Like someone stated in the comments these are not highlights this is how he played every game! There will never be another Jordan.

This montage should be put in the basketball hall of fame and played endlessly on a loop. I grew up at the perfect time to watch the real, undisputed GOAT. The beginning of cable TV, live worldwide sports, and the beginning of superstations, like WGN, that played all the Bulls' home games. I loved, cherished, and appreciated every single moment. Watching His Airness makes it difficult to watch today's sissified games with players that wouldn't die for The Game, like MJ. He was a different type of human.

It was hard for me to watch after he retired the first time, but I continued out of my loyalty to the Bulls and the other players I grew to love. This generation almost makes me hate ever watching Jordan though, because we were watching someone with such gift and standard for greatness that will likely never be duplicated again. And these new so called superstars are the worst, and watching LeBron, Kyrie, Harden, Durant, and others team hop, trying to stack the deck to win, spamming threes, all while disrespecting the generations before them makes me want to go crazy.

Unreal video editing that shows a lot of great rarely seen plays. Videos like this need to be at the very top of a search when kids search for MJ instead of the same old highlights mostly from the 2nd three peat or just certain Finals games. His entire career was a highlight reel and skipping his athletic prime is a shame. Just so incredibly majestic.

This is by far the best MJ highlight video ever!!

Such a great highlights reel. Taking nothing away from the amazing Curry, Lebron etc... but MJ was guarded by the best players of his era and won MVP and scoring championships galore. He also defended the very best players of his era. He didn’t shy away from the challenge. He played guard and dominated the best. He posted up and killed whomever defended him. He dunked on the biggest of defenders, the toughest, and the most skilled. He shot game winners. Was clutch personified. Won 6 championships in an era when defense was really brutal. But most of all he brought beauty and romance to the game like none before him. He was a true cross over athlete admired globally like Ali. The GOAT.

The clip at 7:04 was a perfect depiction of how smooth MJ's game was. The man was a true artist, a contortionist, an assassin, the ultimate competitor and was extremely tactical. He knew how to get the best out of his teammates and when to precisely attack his opponents during games. His style of play was so graceful and majestic to the point as if he was a ballerina on the court cause he displayed such beautiful footwork and knew how to put on a performance while captivating the audience. Michael Jordan was the definition of Poetry In Motion during his time.

“Look at the hang time......the flying motion” The joy in the commentary of the analysts calling the games in real time is also refreshing.

This is the best Jordan highlight video ever made !! His timing,rythm, hangtime, super athleticism, footwork,playmaking, giant hands,shooting,dunking,game winners,original fade away, defense, Jelly layup package all on display.Kobe is my favorite player but this proves who real GOAT is.

It is i was thinking the same thing, he retired it broke hearts he came back there was hope, did it again, you just felt like he was going to play til he died.

The invincibility, the artistry, the improbability..........how can you watch MJ and not think he's the GOAT? Statistically a couple of guys might have some kind of a case but when you watch what he did to the league on a nightly basis and pulling off stunts like the ones he does in the entire video there can be no doubt about MJ being the GOAT.

Also Kobe scored 55 points on a 40 years old MJ in a bad team while MJ despite his injuries and him being rusty was clearly the best player on the floor. Now that he could not do against a prime MJ. Stop being delusional, you are not the only one that played basketball in his life and you certainly do not know shit about the game when players admit MJ is the best ever and the eye test AND the accolades prove that it is true.

Had to save it to favs. This literally encapsulates how MJ's athleticism deserves its own tier. His physical gifts were just made for the perimeter position. One of the many reasons he's the GOAT

The best highlight package on KZread I have seen. The young skilled highly athletic Mike to the older version whose skills were amazing. Like the addition of the physicality he endured also, the dirty trip by James Edwards will never forget. Just thinking how many highlights weren't in the video is mind boggling. That man was amazing

Best video that illustrates there is no other comparison . GOAT

Michael Jordan was a human! I don’t say that with disdain or as an insult I say it to remind myself that he actually was one! Watching these highlights, you question whether or not it was just a man doing these things and then you see him get blocked and it reminds you for a second that he was just a man.... But then you watch more and start questioning again? Was he really a human? He was! And that makes it even more incredible! This dude was one of us but just gifted by God in a unique way with all this ability combined with work ethic! What a blessing it was to grow up and be inspired by this dude!
