He was in a different universe of talent. He truly changed the NBA that year.

This guy never dissapointed the crowd from day 1 to day last.

You missed A LOT my friend. I saw this Michael Jordan, and let me tell you, it's a life changing experience. When we went to the basketball court after that, we all played like MJ. He inspired people like no one I've ever seen before. People watch great athletes play the now and days. But Jordan literally made you want to go out and play the game after watching him play.

What baffles me is everyone saying he didn’t have a jump shot in the beginning of his career. SMDH.

This was MJ's arrival game. It's funny looking at all of those empty seats. I bet they filled more of them for the next home game. The fans who were in attendance probably thought they'd get another snoozefest Bulls loss. They can honestly say that they were there at the beginning of the Jordan era.

Shit, they could have won EIGHT championships in a row if Jordan hadn't have gone to play baseball. Simply put, Michael Jordan, the greatest basketball player ever, is the standard by which we measure greatness.

Jordan's not one of my favourite players, but this video shows exactly why he would become the GOAT. Not because of his physical gifts, which, while extraordinary, don't by themselves separate MJ from a Lebron or a Kobe, but because of his will power to employ those gifts when it counted most - ie 22 points in the 4th quarter. Lebron and Kobe do this often, but Jordan did it all the time, always coming through in the last 7-8 minutes, always in the biggest games.

he was so fucking quick. he was a rookie and he was shooting very very well even in that time. What else can we say about the Goat?

i see why he retired few times. look at the excitement and crowd going wild in his first games, but by '86 they already take this phenom scoring 40,50 points for granted.

I personally think Jordan would be 1st in all time scoring if he would have came to the NBA straight from highschool and didn't miss 7months with a broken ankle, 2 years playing baseball after his dad died, and the year he spent in retirement. Kobe and Lebron have a 8yr advantage on him and stll haven't passed him.

"what a free throw shooter this guy is"

Can’t duplicate that 80’s Jordan…that’s why he’s the GOAT

This is his rookie season and he is making jumpers constantly. This goes against the narrative that he developed his jump shot as he got older.
