Anybody who actually watched Jordan play, cannot honestly say that Lebron is close to him as a basketball player. He is the unquestioned GOAT!! It is such a shame we only got 13 full years of him as a player.

This is not true at all. I have seen both play for their entire careers. Do you really think MJ could stop LeBron coming through the lane? The size difference alone makes it a much closer comparison than the MJ slurpers would have you believe. MJ was more fun to watch but LeBron is a complete beast as well.

@@rickwelch8464 Ok, lets flip your question; do you think Lebron can stop MJ from doing whatever he wanted on the court? the answer is no. No one is saying Lebron is not a good player, top 5 for sure. However, if you have been watching basketball as long as you claim, it is plain to see that lebron was aided by the softening of the game, facilitating those easy drives to the basket with no punishment for doing it, and the unquestioned fact that the east conference was unequivocally weak throughout his time there. Whenever someone acknowledges that someone is the best at there craft, (Eminem, MJ, Tom brady, Gretzky, etc). None of whom is my personal favorite, then detractors have to come with Stan or Slurper as you used, which is lame AF.

MJ played in a much more physical league where the opponents were actually trying to defend in a physical way. The longevity of Lebron is the only way he tops MJ's stats, and in a league with no hustle and fouls are called for looking at someone too hard.

There is a reason why people say “You are the Michael Jordan of so and so”.

He also doesn't have multiple people hacking at his arms every shot like MJ had.

My Top Three of all Time are #1 Michael Jordan #2 Larry Bird and #3 Magic Johnson

He did all this while people still played in the lane. Now there is defensive 3 seconds, and no hand checking. GOAT

MJ also had an 83.5 percent career free throw percentage, so if you foul him it’s pretty much 2 free points for MJ

The NBA has certainly become faster, but that's the case in every sport, but the defense has also become worse and today you can see that there is simply no player left who has this poetic emotion like Michael Jordan.

Michael Jordan was playing chess while everyone else was playing checkers

I am a Blazers fan, and I absolutely loved watching Michael Jordan play anytime I could watch him play. It was a treat he was going to do something off-the-wall!!!

Larry Bird mixtape. Absolute must watch.

I was born in 1974, yes I'm old haha I was lucky enough to start my basketball fandom with the primes of Larry and Magic and then Michael took it all to the next level. So the way I look at it is I got to watch three of the greatest players of all time and the largest stage of my basketball fandom. MJ Is the GOAT and honestly it's not even close

The real difference between Michael and Lebron is their competitiveness. Lebron was more laid back but Michael would carve out the eyes of his own grandmother in order to win. To all of you Lebron fans, that is what really makes them different and in your hearts you know I'm right.

Bird actually has a higher % of game wining shots in NBA history. Jordan is 2nd in percent but has the most in total.

Jordan had this cool aspect to him, where he absolutely hated it when someone talked shit about him, and absolutely loved an "impossible" challenge. So, if he heard someone talk shit about him before a game ("he isn't going to dunk on me," "let's see him try to get past me," etc.), Jordan would go out and just absolutely destroy that particular player on the court. Dunking right in their face, etc. Then, when games got really close and the Bulls were down by a point or two, Jordan would go out and make some crazy, final seconds play that won them the game.

Jordan played in a defensive error full of all stars ..... every team was pretty evenly matched

Very nice reaction! The Best Rare Video (Voyager) is also incredible. Also Jordan's Underrated Wizards Years will put his time as a Wizard into perspective. On the flip side Lebron is also first in Turnovers for his position and in first all-time in the NBA. He is also first in missed free throws for his position and top five all-time in the. NBA. So, as great as Lebron is he has some serious deficits. Jordan does not lead the league or is top five all-time in any negative categories.

Superhero is a good way to put it. Growing up as a Bulls fan in the Chicago area, Jordan was like a superhero who always managed to win in the end in dramatic fashion.

You got the one you were aiming for.. great video! Also Voyager makes a decent one.. check out the breakdown of the greatest season of all time as well as 23 facts that will never be broken 💔 by MJ.. that should lead you into many views.. I have a playlist of over 125 MJ videos alone and many on other guys .

MJ GOAT was just built different.

I got to meet him and watch his every game living just outside Chicago for his whole career. I got to attend a bunch of his games live as well. Nobody--nobody in any sport except for maybe Ali (who was before my time) is or was as transcendent as MJ. Wherever he went, crowds formed like he was the Beatles when they came to the US and people went nuts. On the court nobody worked harder, played with as much passion and came through in the clutch like MJ.

Keep up the excellent work my friends

MJ was not only the greatest he WAS the greatest artist. It looked amazing too.

I never followed NBA with interest, but I remember someone from Detroit Pistons ( the bad boys, as they were known) chatting with MJ and basically telling him he wouldn't do much in the match. Not only the Bulls won the game, MJ was the MVP and in defiance, signalled back to the player and saying "you can't see or catch me". That was a hell of a statement right there. Also, he's known by Jordan Air for a reason. He simply was the player with the highest time spent in the air, he could jump higher and further than anyone else. And when the Bulls got Scottie Pippen, MJ said to the team boss to take part of his wages to pay for Scottie's wages. What a MAN and player. Still my MVP.

Jordan did have some years, that he didn't win. He was still the best player in the league. But, when he did get to the finals (more than twice), he is 6-0. Two 3-peats!! Greatest ever...it will always be up for debate. MJ said he wasn't the greatest because he never got a chance to play against the GREATS before him. The same guys that he took pieces of their game and added to his. The rules didn't change for MJ, he just got in the weight room and got stronger. I was able to see MJ LIVE quite a few times, and it was worth more than the price of admission. LOL.

When he came back it was during the 94/95 season where the Bulls made it to the play-offs but got eliminated by Orlando Magic. So in all reality Jordan didn't retire for 2 complete seasons.

Jordan is pure great. But the day Kobe died and his daughter died. The world cried hit hard. Watching Jordan cry also hurt. But we celebrate Kobes life!

MJ is the greatest basketball player of all-time because he has the highest points per game in NBA History with 30.1 ppg. He's won 10 Scoring Titles, 6 Championships in the 1990's. The same decade he retired twice in. He's different on the court than any other player. He has won 5 MVPs and 6 Finals MVPs. This man is the GOAT which is more obvious in NBA Basketball than any other sport.

There will never be anyone like him, forever and by far the best.

There will never be another MJ! Most complete player EVER! Definitely the GOAT!

People these days think that Labron is "the GOAT " when it comes to basketball but they xss have only seen the highlights of Jordan but as someone that actually saw Jordan play I can say without question that Michael Jordan was like no one that anyone had or will ever see play the great game of basketball. And remember that he was cut from his high school basketball team as a sophomore. And if you ask Michael he will say that his brother is a better player than he ever was.

I think I watched every one of these games, I miss the bulls with MJ, what a time to be alive Chicagoan!

MJ equals 🐐

God made the perfect basketball player. MJ was pure excellence.

I'm not a big basketball fan. But Jordan is the best who ever played, Lebron is great but Jordan played in the defensive era, it was harder to score points. You can't compare them, Jordan is 🐐, out of reach, from another galaxy. Greetings from Europe

Jordan is the monster!

His Dad was murdered in the off season after his first 3 peat. He retired before the season and tried to make in major league baseball because his dad was a huge baseball fan and always wanted michael to play baseball. That is why he retired for 2 years. Came back and 3 peated again!

The timeline that they are showing is from the beginning of his career til the end of his bulls career Each year is in chronological order as far as the video is shown 🐐 you're watching

Watching from Philipines 🇵🇭♥️

That feeling your Sweet Home got during the Bulls reign was electric! I got into two Championship Games and a small handful of regular Jordan Games. Nothing quite like YOUR team dominating so. Most ALL the bars were on fire, Good Times!

Back then they devised a plan to defeat the Bulls. They said to stop Michael Jordan and the rest of the team will crumble. Problem is they could never stop Jordan. There's really no defense for the way he played. Legend.

The Voyager video actually tops this one. A must watch..also better music!

Jordan was on a cosmic level. The guys highlights are from 35 years ago yet they look futuristic like theyre from 30 years in the future.

I was lucky enough to watch MJ play live as a bulls fan there's no way leflop is better than him

It was a thrill to watch him play. He played all out all the time. He was deceptively fast, and quick as a cat. But it was his basketball IQ and his mentality that made him stand apart. Yes, he had bad games... Yes, he missed shots with the game on the line. He felt like it was those things that made him better. The Pistons beat him up physically. He started the breakfast club and lifted weights early in the morning before practice to get stronger. He met every challenge head-on and never backed down. He praciticed like he played and that was intentional, as well. Practice like you play... He was also quoted as saying "why would I worry about missing a shot I haven't taken yet?"... He was just different - the total package. I don't like to discuss greatest of all time because the league has changed over the years and there have been players I never had the privilege of watching. But, MJ transcended the sport... People that had never watched basketball were drawn to the game... he became the most popular person on the planet in the 90s. Not sure that one could say that about any other player.

Michael Jeffrey Jordan is the greatest basketball player I've ever seen. & people it ain't close. Shout out 2 KAJ.

Michael Jordan is the GOAT. Anybody else trying to make a different case is absolutely RIDICULOUS... There is no question.

good reaction, i actually enjoyed your conversation at the end which is a rarity in this genre haha there is actually a good video called somthing like "the artistry of michael jordan" or "MJ artistry" or whatever that you should check out. its not as good as this (this is the greatest mix tape in the history of mix tapes and its 1/2 of the jordan highlights out there)

Awesome video.

This is how ~125 cm vertical translates in the game 😅

Meet the G.O.A.T of all G.O.A.Ts, we call him Air Jordan,His Airness, Flight 23 or simply the greatest basketball player in the history of the game. #23.

The Goat!! No debate!!

Watch n learn youngsters this is what goat looks like ...Nobody will ever be this way again...This is why they feared him..Black Jesus

I know I’ve already commented on this video already probably because I love this video. But the look of disgust on the young lady’s face when he stole the ball and shot it from the parking lot, and the look of death she had on her face when he shot the ball behind the backboard … are a testament to how great Michael Jordan was as a player. Anybody who got to see him play had those looks on their faces every single night and it was worth it.

The great Larry Bird said that the first time that he played against Jordan that he saw God and he was playing in basketball shoes!!"😂😂😂

Great reaction

And by the way there is a whole other highlight compilation that people haven’t even seen. One of the things that made MJ the 🐐 is that every single game he gave you a wow moment

I didn't realize it at the time, some of the best memories I had were staying up late with my dad on school nights watching Jordan and the Bulls. You never knew what what to expect, just that Jordan was going to do something amazing. I'm older now, and my dad has passed, but watching these mixtapes bring me back in time for a little bit.

One thing about his first retirement that people forget is his father was murdered and he wanted to honor his father's wish to play pro baseball so he did during his retirement from basketball but he couldn't stay away.

This was an awesome reaction ...6 rings! perfect in the Finals. There is no comparison lol

THE GOAT!

There’s a new reel called “Worlds Greatest Michael Jordan Highlight Reel”. It’s the best overall one I’ve seen.

If you didn't live through it in real time you can never truly understand or fully appreciate why Jordan is STILL widely considered the GOAT, nearly 3 decades after his last Championship. If I had to sum up his career in one sentence I would say "Michael Jordan is closer to 'basketball perfection' than any player to ever play the game."

Goat and UNC legend

It looked like it wasn't even fair that he was playing no one could stop him
