After watching a video or two like this it’s almost silly to hear people say it. Videos where it’s plays throughout an entire game as opposed to just random highlights are so much better.U get to see a players actual game and how they move around the court,etc...And I always wonder how many plays of MJs career didn’t even a get a replay?

He scored 47 with 9 minutes left to play without a single 3 pointer. And that reverse layup jumping from just one foot is truly beautiful to watch.

93 Jordan was simply in a zone, his jump shot was automatic, had the fade away and still drove with spectacular layups and dunks. The slightest thing would set him off, my favorite game of this season is Game 4 of the ECF when he lit up the Knicks for 54pts. He was unconscious that day and many others.

The '93 season is when I first started really watching the Bulls and following basketball. He was insane. I mean I was a kid and all and see it through rose colored glasses but I just remember him doing something at least once a game that made my draw drop. His post game was the best it had been in his career but he still had "Air Jordan". '96 Jordan was almost as good as he could still get to the basket and his post up are was the best of his career. The following two years he wasn't as exciting to watch but he was still the best in the game.

The magic of Jordan is what makes him the GOAT

The GOAT!!!

This game shows you why he is the G.O.A.T

This is one of those classic MJ performances where he didn't break much of a sweat on offense and 47 points could have turned into an easy 60 if he had made all his free throws and some of his shot attempts that ended in free throws would have gone in for an and-1!

How in the infinite world can people especially nowadays compare this guy with todays players😳😳😳😳 i mean woooooooow!!!! Hes like bringing the circus to time and we are like children spectators lol. All his acrobatic movements u dont see in this era at all. Yes here and there u might see some shots but every single night? I dont think so. All players do nowadays is shoot 3 points 24/7

That move at 1:14 How many players in the history of basketball are capable of pulling that off? MJ's in air body control (best ever), hang time (one of he best ever), ability to finish around the rim (best ever) and the size of his hands (some of the biggest ever) made him capable of pulling off insane moves routinely that virtually no one else could ever pull off.

Wooow!Beautiful!

What's craziest about that sick layup is that at 1:26 you can see that Todd Day hits Jordan's arm/wrist on the way up, which both decreases his air time and should have knocked the ball loose - Jordan's hands were not only huge, but strong.

David Robinson pre ACL injury was rediculously athletic. This is waaaaaay before Tim Duncan now. I never seen a 7 footer besides him come down on a fastbreak and windmill it with two hands.

Your delusion that LBJ (who I consider the 2nd greatest player ever) is better than MJ is laughable. Secondly, if you think Michael Jordan is nothing but a Demar DeRozan (nice job taking that phrase from Steph Curry The G.O.A.T by the way) then you SERIOUSLY should consider watching another sport besides basketball.
