Guys I beg you, from a statistical standpoint, MJ destroys almost everyone except maybe Kareem, What Jordan did in his shortened career is unbelievable. Jordan also had this thing called GRACE and FINESSE that maybe only Kobe came close to.1 on 1, Jordan would absolutely defeat Lebron. I'd take speed and being a technician over Lebron any day. If you really want a 1v1 battle to settle this score, you pick Giannis. There is no one in the league right now that could beat Giannis 1on1. So it's not even about that. But trust me if you watched the incredible drive, passion and determination of Jordan in playoffs especially, it can barely be matched.

One of the most amazing things of MJ is that we haven’t seen any other player until this day that can do some of the things he did. For example, in football (soccer how some lame people call it), you can see over the time how some players add to their skills some plays, dribblings, feints, etc. from other players of the past and some of them even improve them. In Jordan’s case, I haven’t seen other player do the things he did or at least do them like him. He really is one of a kind.

Whatever it was necessary whether defensively or offensively, he got the job done and never let you down or disappointed you.

Guys I beg you, from a statistical standpoint, MJ destroys almost everyone except maybe Kareem, What Jordan did in his shortened career is unbelievable. Jordan also had this thing called GRACE and FINESSE that maybe only Kobe came close to.1 on 1, Jordan would absolutely defeat Lebron. I'd take speed and being a technician over Lebron any day. If you really want a 1v1 battle to settle this score, you pick Giannis. There is no one in the league right now that could beat Giannis 1on1. So it's not even about that. But trust me if you watched the incredible drive, passion and determination of Jordan in playoffs especially, it can barely be matched.

The era that Jordan played in was the best era of the NBA ever.
I don’t even like basketball but would watch MJ play. He’s sooo much better than Lebron.
Yep
My GOAT is jordan, but cmon now, today's NBA is def more challenging than then
Mid to late 80s to the late 90s was the best decade,rough ,hand checking legal,go to the paint on the hardwood you will be,look up the Jordan rules and Detroit's formula to beat Mike and the bulls.Force Mike left,if he drives to the paint hard foul Everytime.Took 2 years to beat Detroit and the "Jordan rules".Hack a Mike was the there def but the 3 eastern finals nothing was stopping Mike from the that first ring,or 2nd,3rd,played baseball to learn he can't hit junk but will turn on a fastball but that won't keep you in the majors so Mike comes back late season lost wearing 45,came back the next season than won 3 more straight.Nobody does that,closest was the showtime Lakers,Magic top 5 in front of lebron to.he may have 4 rings but took him 12 finals,that is no 🐐 status.
this era skill wise is better but the 90s were still goated
One of the most amazing things of MJ is that we haven’t seen any other player until this day that can do some of the things he did. For example, in football (soccer how some lame people call it), you can see over the time how some players add to their skills some plays, dribblings, feints, etc. from other players of the past and some of them even improve them. In Jordan’s case, I haven’t seen other player do the things he did or at least do them like him. He really is one of a kind.
Jordan just hits different. He was playing a whole different game from everyone else. And his competition was fierce! Magic, Bird, Stockton and Malone, Barkley, Ewing, Thomas, Wilkins, the list of greats goes on and on, but Jordan sits alone at the top - king on his throne.
But he never beat Larry....
I’ve watched MJ’s entire career and LeBron’s entire career. Michael Jordan is the GOAT and it’s not close.
Saw Jordan play many times and there's no one like him and there never will be. He was the whole package, had it all. The Bulls with Michael were the most exciting team to watch.
He is very much levels above everyone else ever

@@FreedomFighter2112how many shots did Kobe and LeBron miss compared to Mike?
@@HT-sm9dm These numbers aren't correct
He sure has the whole package of shills that's for sure.
MJ changed everything about the game of basketball EVERYTHING!!
I am a Filipino. I am a girl. And I loved basketball because of MJ! He made basketball worldwide
The thing is with these, this is what Mike did ALL THE TIME. To those who unfortunately didn’t see him play, these are highlights. To us who were there, some of these were just another Friday night
It's a great point. I've never seen a more consistently great player in the NBA or possibly any other sport. He almost NEVER had a bad night. When he did how many times did he suddenly turn it on in the 4th quarter to get the win, or follow up the off night with a 40 or 50 point game?
I had season tickets to the Bulls in old Chicago Stadium and that place would rock just in the introductions. I still goosebumps when I would watch replays
Ppl who didn't grow up watching Jordan n watching it LIVE would never understand his greatness..he was doing things we never seen b4..super clutch, it was like he didn't miss..he made the NBA wut it is 2day..players imitated his move so of course it looks better now..but back then it was unheard of..MJ is the GOAT 🐐
Say that shit!!
umm, there's some moves that players still can't do today that look better than Jordan did it ... that layup against the Nets just to name one.
I was at MSG when he returned from retirement and dropped what was it 54 or 56 points? Special is an understatement 😅
Greatest of all time!!! I know because I witnessed him do it and hated him the whole time. Killed my 90s Knicks.
Thank God for slow-motion instant replay and multiple camera angles. It frequently took at least three different replays to realize everything he did on a play.
These young guys REALLY don't know how physical it was in that era. For Jordan to do that then was insane. He gets 45 a game in this league between the calls and lack of physicality.
Stop exaggerating. You couldn't breath on MJ in the 90's. He lead the league or was top 3 in free throw attempts almost every year. 90's NBA was watered down garbage
@@jsgr5382 Hilarious take there, buddy. You are truly delusional. The modern NBA is filled with watered down talent.
@@QuiveringNow the NBA has never been better then now lol. It's literally the opposite of watered down. Its fully international..the best players from Fiba if they can make their way to the NBA. Fully international game. The avg player can now dribble and shoot much much better ,is in better shape, has a higher IQ and would smoke the avg player of the 90's who most were coked out and one dimensional. 2 expansion eras. Watered down the league in the 90's. Everyone knows this. Nostalgia is playing mind games with you
@@jsgr5382better shape yet this the era of load management and all the star players constantly staying hurt and taking games off AD, KD, Kawahi, Paul George, Ben Simmons, Klay, Steph, Lebron, Harden, Kyrie, Embid, Zion, John Wall, are all top tier players who over the last 5-6 seasons have missed significant amounts of game’s multiple times only players that are considered mostly available to play are Gianni’s, booker, Tatum, Donovan Mitchell and Luka even tho he missed first round of the playoffs last year all the elite players back in the day played MJ played all 82 games like 9 or 10 seasons in his career these days we lucky if any of the superstars play 50 games
@@sheaturner3229 Way to cherrypick one of the many points I made lol. All the tough guys of the 90's careers ended after 12-13 years. Guys will play alot longer today. Highlighting injuries of today as if injuries didn't exist in that era is bs. I guess it wasn't so tough after all if players never got hurt lol. Point is basketball isnt a tough guy sport. A little contact was a foul in the 60, 70, 80, 90, 00 and today. Any violence is a suspension in any era. Why you talking as if the rules were different in the 90's. In fact that era avg much more free throws then now..The refs called everything. Especially on MJ. The few series he had it tough he literally went to commissioner to change the rules. They avg alot of fouls cause players were slow footed , unathletic and piss poor defenders so they had to foul cause perimeter defending was non existant. But ya I'm sure your cherry picked example of a few players missing games really proves your point lol.
This is nothing compared to his ultimate mixtape.. you get a much clearer picture of why he’s the 🐐
thats a must watch lol
MJ balled every game like he was in a dunk competition when he wasn't sinking 3s
The GOAT doing GOAT things! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I was blessed to see MJs entire career unfold. A true innovator and he changed the game forever.
I was blessed to see him play in person!
Same here, these young kids won't ever get to see that... this cripples their knowledge on real basketball
@@cut1986 I did too when he came to San Antonio
@@bankrollwels Chicago vs. Detroit 2-15-98 for me.
Jordan's years was the best years of my life. No other player has held a candle to him in my eyes. The dude was a determined beast. Played, slept, breathed ball.
I concur. I live in Chicago and was around for the Jordan years and rallies at Grant Park.
that is kinda sad cause your life aint over...nostalgia..is a double edged sword
@@mikeschliker5176 I was referring to being a basketball fan. Not my whole entire life outside of that lmao some people are so literal, it's ok buddy.
nothing but straight FACTS!!! Michael Jordan was a GLOBAL phenomenon. I live in Suriname and I stayed up early in the morning (2am ~ 3am) to watch the Chicago Bulls.
@@MarioCastillion if I was where you were, I would have absolutely done the same. I literally have not had a favorite player since then. Maybe I am to picky now lol
Brothers the key to success is when you see the true right in front of your eyes don’t deny it!! The world is watching you and want to trust in you observation. MJ is the goat!!
Man these guys are young and go on feelings than facts. Also Magic was drafted in '79 and played majority in the 80's. I was blessed to watch Jordan since his college years, live. There are sooo many others players from the 90's that would of dominated LeBron. Michael Jordan is the perfect basketball player.
You can’t even begin to imagine what it was like to witness MJ dunk on Patrick Ewing and Dikembe Motombo!!! Just an amazing spectacle on both sides of the floor!!!!!
Motombo was (almost) impossible to dunk on!
And Alonzo Mourning
he dunk over shaq too. Shaqn said himself
@@brilliantbeaches5389 and let's not forget he gave him the mutumbo finger aka Sonic the hedgehog after he dunked. #savage
I'm a Detroiter, bad boy Piston through and through. No other fan base hated Jordan more than the bad boy era piston fan base. But let me tell you, I have to put some respect on Jordan's name. The best I've ever seen. Today's basketball players don't come close!

and ya'll tried to kill that man
@@CoolHandLukeDukeyeah they did
MJ all day! 6 rings, 5 mvps, 10 scoring titles. If Jordan played as long as Bron, there wouldn't be a question.
Only 50 ....... Other 100 more!! MJ ..... The best forever. Thanks!
any era, any time..Michael Jordan was blessed by God and no doubt the best of all time! Great reaction!!

MJ is the GOAT, it isn't close. The highlights don't do him justice, he was that good. I wish we could see MJ square up against Lebron, you will see what us old timers are talking about.
MJ is undeniable & unarguably the ONE
Him
The 🐐. Without him the NBA wouldn't be what it is today.
I was lucky enough to have lived outside of Chicago between 86-90. I wasn't really a Bulls fan per se, but Jordan basically opened my eyes to recognizing a once in a lifetime talent on live tv. You know someone is truly legendary if you can realize it watching them in their prime. Barry Sanders, Walter Payton, Joe Montana, Bo Jackson, Larry Bird... players like these, were truly a privilege to have watched them play in their prime.
Watching these highlights make me realize how much more athletic and skilled NBA players are today. When I saw these games for the first time as a kid I was beyond impressed, my mind was blown. Watching it now it doesn’t seem that impressive because it’s become so commonplace.
MJ is the greatest lockdown defender to ever play the game.
They never watch those tapes. He terrorized his opponent on defense. Clutch steals and blocks not just shots.
no he wasn’t

MJ’s top 50 plays doesn’t come close to telling you who he was as a player. Coooooooooooooooooold
As a European i had to stay up until 2,3,4 in the morning sometimes to watch MJ play. 1 of the best athletes the world has ever seen, not just b-ball player...MJ the goat & shout out to Scottie Pippen as well, those 2 was the driving force on the 90's Chicago Bulls team...Legends
MJ is the GOAT!
Watching Jordan was like watching a magician…. He could do anything… shoot anything… whenever it came down to last second cultch he would somehow always get that ball in even with 5 dudes on him… it was insane watching this man, he could fly!!! He was the most intelligent basketball player ever saturated with pure athleticism and out of this world skills….shit brings a tear to my eye remembering watching him play!!!!!
It;s simple. No one ever has or ever will do it like mike!!!!!!!
I graduated HS in 93 so i know everything MJ and Lebron and even though i didnt like either,MJ is EASILY better!!!! Anyone who watches highlights of both can see this!
Greatest player I’ve ever seen play and imo greatest of all time. I was lucky to have WGN in my town so I could see the Chicago cubs and the Chicago Bulls play. Every game Jordan played on we would rush home to watch because there’s only 50 moments here but this stuff happened every game, it was just what’s he gonna do this game. You didn’t even have to watch every play we would eat dinner and casually watch and every time they took it down the court MJ would do something magical. GOAT IMO
WGN was a superstation/national...it just was cable outside of Chicago instead basic TV. That I also was lucky to grow up in Chicago during this era. Agreed.
It's more than the highlights. You had to see MJ play at the time - night after night, year after year, patiently and loyally building Chicago's success. He had a will to win like noone else. He could take complete control of a game - on both ends.
#8 is my favorite move by him of all-time. from where he takes-off on 1 side of the basket, goes in between 2 defenders, and reverse lays it up on the other side of the rim, just un-believable. the hangtime, the double pump, even the announcers reaction n just being stunned to see that, man i wouldv'e loved to been there n seen that 1 play in real life. I think it move/shot is better n more impossible than the "spectacular" switch hands move he did on LA. It's simply UNREAL!
just noticed it's the most replayed part of this video too
Jordan is different even in highschool up to the NBA he hadn't loss even once in a Championship playoffs, even an all amature Basketball 1984 Olympics they were the champion, that an all amature US Basketball team before them failed. He was 100% in a Championship series all his life playing basketball. ☺️☺️☺️
I got to watch both players over the years and I said this once and I will always say it. Lebron is an all time great but MJ is the GREATEST OF ALL TIME. Its not even close.
Here's what people fail to realize, Mike was doing all that in his rookie season...IN ONES!
ONES???
Here's what people feel to realize his rookie season he averaged almost 30 a year after leaving College and being clamped down by James Madison and held to 16 points because the man could not score against the Zone because he wasn't a great outside shooter but zone defense was illegal in the NBA you couldn't double team a man off the ball I guarantee you if they bring back that illegal defense rule Steph Curry wins at least six more championships before he retires
@@ast.george3565 Man what Steph got to do with this?
@@carllangley6812 yall swear mj is better than steph and that is an illusion. it just doesn't add up, no matter how you look at it. i dont care about the 6-0 finals run against hiv positive magic johnson and plumbers. its no comparison. steph never had a horace grant who averaged 14.2 points and 10 rebounds on 57.8% shooting on only 9.8 attempts a game in 81 games in the 91-92 season. or a pippen who was the 94 all star mvp and third place league mvp. mike went to play ball and the bulls won 55 games. steph got hurt and the warriors won 15 and some of those wins were from the 5 games he played before hurting his hand lol. mj was the greatest in the 90's when they had 5 expansion teams added from 88-95 is when became a winner. before that he was a ball hogging loser who claimed he lost because his teammates was on drugs and alcohol lol. zero comparison.
@@ast.george3565 Man just make sure you zip Steph back up after you get done riding him.
GOAT, no one is close to him, if you know basketball you know he was and is miles ahead of everyone and no one come close
Mike was Different, I'm Glad I Got to watch him in his prime, he was unstoppable. The Goat Debate isn't even close, Michael Jeffrey Jordan is the Greatest of all time 🐐
MJ's defensive prowess is what tips the scales for the GOAT conversation.
That's what most people forget. Is on top of the offense he played the lethal defense and that does indeed make him it. And you look at the league then he was playing in and how tough it was compared to nowadays... you can't come close enough you can't get in the paint you can't touch them?
Just sitting in the background saying”Lebron James” for 5 minutes straight was the repetition comedy I needed in my life today
Ikr. Love LBJ, used to stay up late and watch his high school games on ESPN. However Lebron's name doesnt have to be brought up everytime.
Yeah, lmao 🤣
Michael Jordan is a legend no question in that
30 years later people still watch in amazement.
I grew up in the Chicago area with Jordan in the 80s and 90s. It was an incredible thrill ride, and a once-in-a-lifetime show. The NBA was never as good when he retired in '98 in my opinion.
Because your bias towards your childhood everyone says that about their childhood
@onlywiigame. 90s basketball is so much more entertaining better rivalries the 🐐 the trashtalk was just amazing just everything about it is perfect
@@onlywiigame.I grew up in a different era and I approve of that, so stop the cap
Totally agree
Gentlemen, great video! I gotta say that during his playing days MJ was getting hacked left and right! This dude was fighting so hard for the plays he was making AND he was making them look like art! He was the first to do such smooth and flawless moves, shots, dribbles, defense! He was breath taking to watch!!! Everything else that came after him was a version of him!!! So its impossible to compare!!! Everybody watched closely And emulated everything this man did!
No doubt...MJ ran through walls to get what he got. Lebron runs through doorways with beads hanging,and still ain’t close.
Adorable hearing these guys back Lebron
MJ without question is the GOAT. Six championship rings!
This is why MJ is the G.O.A.T!
Most exciting time in sports!! - what an era! We were glued to our tvs! Chicago hasn’t been the same.
I like how the further the video progresses the more in awe they become 😅
I feel blessed grown up in the era to be able to watch Michael Jordan in his prime
I really don’t understand why anyone would think another basketball player is even close to MJ. This was and is the god of basketball. Hands down.
Because that’s what the nba sold you micheal Jordan was never that good he was a good scorcher at best
@@onlywiigame. you funny
and Larry bird swept him twice in back to back years....
@@joevalerio8023 yes Larry Bird beat him 2 years in row., with a stacked team who was use to winning! But when Jordan got help, what happened? What was the best compliment Larry Bird ever said about a player he played against? I know you know.
@@ZoRenol69😂😂 Danny Ainge, Dennis Johnson, Robert Parrish? They had McHale and Bird. Tell me you didn’t play basketball without telling me you didn’t play basketball.
Detroit Pistons defense towards Jordan was DONT LET HIM LEAVE THE GROUND because once he does it’s a wrap
Tar Heel fan here. Grew up in Chapel Hill and parents had season UNC bball tix. Saw just about every MJ home game, went to Dean Smiths BBall camp while MJ was there. Players would be the coaches/trainers for us kids. Anyway, MJ did stuff that no one at the time was doing and he did it multiple times per game. These days you have great dunkers on every team. As much as I love MJ, Vince Carter was the best in game dunker ever in college and his first 4-5 seasons in the NBA.
Jordan...absolutely no question. I'm in my 50's and watched many games with Jordan in his prime including the championship games. Dudes, he was like the Muhammad Ali of the NBA...changed the game.
Except Jordan didn’t win his first title by his opponent being PAID TO LOSE…that Liston fight was ridiculous…got hit with a phantom punch and went down….one of the more obvious fixes in pro sports….and there’s been a TON…NFL is classified as “SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT “, NO other pro sport is except WWE….what does that tell you…
The two most beautiful bookends right up front. You two boys are gonna be the death of me 🫠🤤😵💫😘
Glad to there are some yunguns out there who can appreciate MJ’s skill.
I had the honor of seeing him play many times it was truly amazing. Nothing better than watching him play in Chicago Stadium. 🐐🐐🐐
THE MADHOUSE ON MADISON!!!🔥🔥🔥
I had the honor to serve him at Madison Square Garden when the Charlotte team was the bobcats and he was looking to buy a team. He was 100% Class Act. My most memorable experience and moment while work at MSG. There's others but serving him was an honor
Growing up watching Jordan, there's more to him then how skilled he was that makes him the best. It's the way he drew people into the game. He had fans of opposing teams admire & respect him. Everyone wanted to be like Mike. Don't hear anyone saying they wanna be like LeBron. He pulled the whole world into the game, something LeBron will never be able to do.
they dont understand how it was, there was no discussion back then about who was the greatest, we all knew. Do you remember pretending to be different players, but when you were Jordan with the ball, you were the best, you could do anything, and were better than everyone, no rival.
