THE GREATEST - Michael Jordan (Motivational Video) ᴴᴰ
Most consider him the greatest basketball player of all time, but he was also good enough to play a year of minor league baseball.
In any profession the question that is always asked is, "Who is the best?" People have a desire to determine the one who achieved the greatest success at their field. In many cases there is no definite answer, but we spend our time debating who excelled to the greatest extent.
The NBA is no different. For years basketball fans have argued over who is the greatest player of all time. Players like Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar are among the players who come to mind. However, the one player who defined greatness was Michael Jeffrey Jordan.
It’s hard to compare players from different eras. The best way to do so is by evaluating how dominant a player was during his time. Michael Jordan was named to 10 All-NBA first teams, essentially meaning he was among the best five players in basketball for 10 seasons. He also added nine All-Defensive first-team selections over the course of his career.
Jordan was the NBA’s most valuable player five times, and many believe he should have won even more. Most notably, it is widely believed that Karl Malone unjustly won the 1998 MVP over Jordan because writers believed Jordan had won enough. Jordan was also named the NBA’s defensive player of the year in 1988.
By any calculation, Jordan is the greatest scorer the league has ever seen. He won a record 10 scoring titles, and boasted a career average of 30.1 points per game, the most in NBA history.
The thing that separated Jordan from many of the all time greats was his compulsive need to win. Jordan was and is still known for his intense competitiveness which on many occasions has gotten him in to trouble. However, on the basketball court this was a trait Jordan used to his advantage.
He was among the all-time great trash talkers and had a knack for getting into his opponents' heads. When the media compared him to Portland Trailblazers guard Clyde Drexler prior to the ’92 NBA Finals, Jordan took notice and used the finals as an opportunity to prove Drexler wasn’t in his class. When Jordan’s Bulls met Karl Malone’s Jazz in the ’97 finals, the same year in which Malone controversially won the season’s MVP award, Jordan dominated Malone and once again proved his greatness. Every little thing anyone did or said Jordan used to fuel his competitive fire.
Finally, Jordan has hit more clutch shots, and has had more big game performances than any player in NBA history.
Let us count the ways: There was the 63-point game against the ’86 Celtics at the Boston Garden; the game winner over Craig Ehlo in the ’89 playoffs; the “shrug game” in which Jordan hit six first-half three pointers and scored 35 first half points in the ’92 NBA finals; Game 5 of the ’97 NBA finals where Jordan scored 38 points, including the game-deciding three pointer with 25 seconds left, despite battling the flu; Game 6 of the ’98 finals when Jordan stripped the ball from Karl Malone and proceeded to hit a foul-line jump shot to clinch the finals.
Russell may have won more championships, Chamberlain may have averaged 50 points per game in a single season and Kareem may be the all-time scoring leader, but if you take into consideration the entire package, Michael Jordan is not only the greatest NBA player to ever live but the greatest athlete of all time.

I mean "my flu is better than your best game." says it all. I'd have to agree best basketball player of all time and one of the greatest athletes of all time no question. He's not human.
No player can even come close to Jordan. GOAT

No other athlete can say that. Very well put. Mike was worldwide Superstar not just North America.
In the words of the Sir Charles Barkley "the next person that says Lebron James is better than Jordan I'm just gonna' slap the hell outta them and take my chances with the judicial system"!🤣
Averaged 40 in the 93 NBA Finals 🎉 on his way to a 3 peat. That's greatness
The GOAT 🐐 I’ll never forget watching Michael play such as an inspiration I use to watch him then turn the TV off go out and hit the driveway and practice harder play harder to try and be better because of Jordan. My love for basketball and my drive to play basketball until I graduate high school was all because of MJ!! I also are wheates, drank Gatorade, wore Hanes underwear, and bought Jordan shoes and gear just because of him! If Jordan would have told me to buy or wear or do anything to be like him I would have done it in fact I did most of it because I thought it would make me more like Mike when I was young🔥🔥🔥🙌🙌🙌💯💯💯❤️🏀
His mindset alone makes it borderline impossible to touch him
You can imagine MJ not retiring those years and instead of hanging his gloves in 15 years of NBA seasons he would have done 20 OMG MJ the GOAT 🐐 .......
This video is amazing🔥
I think everything including the skill is what makes Jordan the Goat, he had it all, fundamentally skilled, style, aesthetic, influence, competitive nature. He also came along when the production quality and highlights were getting better and he knew how to make a statement in those moments.
"MJ" the Greatest Of All Time/G.O.A.T
This man was something never seen
I thank God I had the honor of growing up in the 90's and watching the greatest player to ever grace the basketball court.
This is amazing🔥🏀
One word : GOAT
Mj is such a inspiration i want to be just like him when i grow up i wanna be better but for now he is the best
Watching this b4 I play jordan challenge on 2k11 love jordan man. He was on another level
THE VERY BEST THERE EVERY WAS. MICHAEL JORDAN LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. I WILL NEVER FORGET WHEN HE PASSED ME THE BALL WHEN I WAS SITTING ON THE BEACH IN HIS COMMERCIAL IS MICHAEL JORDAN SECRETLY FAKING HIS RETIREMENT. IN ATTENDANCE KEN GRIFFY JR.

MJs flu game is better than your healthy game. MJ is the goat. Never should’ve been up for debate!!!
Great video Ice Bath - I thoroughly enjoyed it. Man: hey MJ you can't play, you got the flu! MJ: my flu game is better than your regular game, so I'm going to play! AWESOME!!! Now, Mr. Michael Jordan said after that particular flu game that this was the closest that he's ever felt to death. And he still played and excelled! A superlative performance. What modern OR historical player would still play in that condition? No one can ever convince me that this guy isn't the G.O.A.T. Because he IS. Nice try everyone else, but you still come up short against this dude. MJ FOREVER!!!

Beyond clutch. Beyond words. GOAT not even debatable.
Michael Jordan was the Michael Jordan of basketball
LeBron is great....but that one thing that separates Jordan and him, is that Jordan always had that killer mentality. Kobe had that killer mentality too(mamba mode). MJ was so fun to watch and I would rather watch highlights of him all day than basketball nowadays.

Mike had an extreme gracefulness with raw power and aggression. Nothing like Mike. Hes the GOAT and even lebron fans know the truth. Mike also played in the toughest era ever.

我記得當時很多講喬丹的書。 有人評很多也是偉大球員， 但，「喬丹就是比較好。」 一句話總結。

So today we had gym and this is basically my first year in high school but I’m in 10th grade we did the whole 9th grade online so we didn’t have sports or anything but today we played and I had a mindset that I was an amazing defender I was playing good defense but the guy I was guarding had better offense and I won’t lie he dropped me on a pivot fake play and I got right back up and acted like it didn’t happen even thought ppl were saying ohh. In middle school I was always so athletic and depended on my long arms and my vertical and speed but now in high school that doesn’t matter unless you know how to use your athleticism to score the basketball. I thought I was good but now I’ve opened my eyes to see I’m pretty much just average and I need to use my god given abilities to play at my highest level I’m a skinny guy I’m 5’10 around 130 pounds and i was getting pushed around inside so now I will take my game more seriously to learn how to score the basketball so I will be prepared for anything
good shit man

MJ is probably best player ever. But is just simple not true that you dont talk trash to MJ. One man did it, and did it with sukces. Larry Legend Bird.
MJ 史無前例 後無來者🥰 MY GOAT FOREVER 💯💯🌟🌟
People should realize more Jordan is the Biggest Sportsman than anybody else & losing him would be tough than Kobe Because he knows Micheal Jordan's the real GOAT period & with thaat there's no Basketball like him & you put him with one of the biggest stars or the biggest story with another Michael Michael Jackson you put Michael Jordan in the same category with him on the same day he past away with him the same thing People would definitely get Shock & knowing we lost another Michael or MJ at the Same time as The King of Pop & confused with him Wooooooooooow....
Greatest = Grape nuts test /// Before that Greatest = German are 👁️ Austin Texas 👁️'s cross Bread ties fool !!
If you had a ego wouldn't you hype up the guy that superseded you
