10 Reasons Why Michael Jordan Is The Greatest Basketball Player Ever

Re-upload Last video was copyright claimed so here is a video I had privated and redited so it would not get taken down so enjoy this until the Louis Williams video is resolved

[@fairalways]

What Michael Jordan did was make people who had never even watched a basketball game, watch, just to see what he could do. He transcended the sport, raised sport in general into another level of public interest as never before. He ushered sport into the cable era. AND, when the chips were on the line, he never missed. Never. You could just sit there, and watch, knowing it was coming, and knowing that there was nothing anybody could do about it. THAT'S what made him the GOAT.

[@MrDangelo7777]

this what he did.. Age 33 Mike completed an amazing season in 1995-96 by leading the Bulls to an all-time record 72-10, 25 wins more than the previous season. He also led the league in scoring for a record eighth time and was named NBA MVP. They won in the Finals over Seattle 4-2. Regular season plus playoffs: 100 games played, 3,043 points, 30.4 ppg. He also averaged 6.3 rpg, 4.3 apg, and 2.1 spg. Age 34 Jordan led the league in scoring for the ninth time and beat NBA MVP Karl Malone in the Finals 4-2 under Phil, and he was named Finals MVP for the fifth time in 1996-97. They went an amazing 69-13. Kobe averaged 7.6 points in this season as a rookie. Regular season plus playoffs: 101 games, 3,910 minutes, 3,021 points, 29.9 ppg, 6.3 rpg, 4.4 apg, and 1.7 spg. Age 35 Michael became a 10-time scoring champion, five-time MVP, and six-time Finals MVP in 1997-98. He was the oldest ever player to do any of that. The Bulls went 62-20 under Phil and beat the Jazz again 4-2. Jordan was 6-0 in the Finals. Regular season plus playoffs: 103 games, 3,037 points, 29.5 ppg, 5.7 rpg, 3.5 apg, and 1.7 spg.

Complete resume of the G.O.A.T. His Airness MJ Jordan has; -3 more final mvps -1 more DPOY -1 more season MVP -9 more scoring titles -3 more steals leader -4 more 1st team all defense selections -800 more steals -Higher efficiency rating -Beat 20 50+ teams in the playoffs (Lebron only defeated 10) -Jordan never averaged less than 40% Field Goal in the finals Lebron did it twice -6/6 (never allowed a game 7) -Jordan never had a teammate averaged more than 22 points in the finals.. Kyrie averaged over 28 and DWade averaged more than 26 -MJ never ever had a finals meltdown like Lebron in 2011 against the Mavs -MJ never lost a series he was favoured in, Lebron has lost multiple -MJ never gave up on his team when the game was on, EVER. Lebron gave up in 2018 Finals after JR mistake, he's given up playing defense -MJ had more points in the playoffs in less games..all of this accomplished in 13 seasons. Lebron is in his 16th season still chasing the "ghost that played in Chicago" -Michael Jordan in the playoffs has put up atleast 40ppg, 5rpg, 5apg in 6 different playoff series. Along with an average of about 55% shooting, 3spg and 2bpg. (86 vs bos, 89 vs cavs, 90 vs philly, 92 vs Miami, 93 vs Phoenix, 88 vs cavs) Jordan won every one of those matchups except for the 1986 matchup vs the celtics. -Jordan in 88-89 averaged 32ppg, 8apg, 8rpg, 3spg off 54% shooting. LeBron has never even came close to this stat line. -1987 thru 1992, MJ averaged 5 straight seasons of atleast 51% FG shooting. LeBron has never done this. -The lowest FT% MJ ever shot in a season was 78%. Lebrons highest in a season ever is 78%. -MJ has a higher playoff FG% of 48.7% to Lebrons 48.3% -MJ has a higher playoff player efficiency rating of 28.6 to Lebrons 27.3. -MJ shoots a higher playoff 3 point percentage of 33.2% to Lebrons 32.9% -MJ 3-peated with one all star team mate, Lebron has always needed more than one to win and still has losses against teams other than GSW -MJ has 5 of the 7 top playoff series scoring averages of all time and 6 of the top 10. Lebron doesn't have one in the top 10. -MJ has more Post-Season Records than Russell, Wilt, Kareem, Kobe and Lebron Combined. -MJ holds the Highest career PER average in NBA regular season, post season and NBA Finals history. -MJ holds the Highest career Efficiency rating average in NBA regular season, post season and NBA Finals history. -MJ holds the Highest career Gamescore average in NBA regular season, post season and NBA Finals history. -MJ holds the Highest career Winshares average in NBA regular season, post season and NBA Finals history. -MJ holds the Highest MVP shares average in NBA regular season, post season and NBA Finals history. -MJ is the only player to lead the league in Scoring and Win Defensive player of the Year a season. -MJ is the only player to Win a championship, scoring title and steals title in the same season. -MJ played defense his whole career, Lebron don't play it anymore and they say it's cos he's older -MJ never made excuses for his losses like Lebron with his "broken hand" -Scoring Titles - Jordan - 10, LeBron -1 -MJ has averaged over 40 points per game in an NBA record five playoff series (and nearly pulled it off against Cleveland in 1989). LeBron has zero. In fact, LeBron has four series where he shot less than 40% for the series (Jordan has 1). Jordan also accomplished this before rule changes came along to make scoring much easier, yet still fared well at age 38 in that era as mentioned below. -Steals Titles - Jordan three time winner, James zero times. LeBron James allows his opponents to increase their scoring averages in the Finals (see Tony Parker in 2007, Jason Terry in 2011, Kevin Durant in 2012, and Andre Iguodoloa in 2015). This really isn’t close. Jordan locks down his opponents, while James struggles. -MJ never had his whole season saved by another team mate's shot (Ray Allen) -LeBron James led both teams in turnovers in 2017 (22), 2016 (31), 2014 (19), and 2011 (24). He was his team’s turnover leader every time except in 2012. -LEBRON IS 5TH IN HIGHEST TURNOVERS OF ALL TIME, Jordan is 28th -Pippen missed half of the 98 season, when Jordan was 35. He also missed the final part of the game 6 in Utah, where Jordan made the crucial steal and clutch shot. MJ without Pippen was still strong. We'll see when Lebron's averages drop. A billion many excuses made for a man who's supposed to be the GOAT.

[@OriginalPeaceWarrior]

You know what, MJ is the greatest basketball player that will ever live, but you forgot to mention two of the most important reasons for his greatness. The first one I am speaking of is HUSTLE. MJ always hustled! If you've ever played sports, you know the one thing that makes a player stand out is the willingness to hustle. (Some call it "heart," which is kind of an abstract, so I call it by its manifestation.) The second one is the fact that MJ was a died hard "triple zero player;" meaning, MJ would not quit hustling until the final tenth of a second tick and the final buzzer.

The best clutch shooter was Larry Bird but also Robert Horry, Curry (for me the best in this age), Kobe Bryant, Reggie Miller, Drazen Petrovic (This guy died too young, but he was an exceptional player). I must admit that MJ in mentality, physical abilities, leadrship and determination he was better than Kobe the most nearly competitor.

May Kobe be RIP...

[@misterindependent7994]

Easy to forget the incredible defense. A moment of silence for defense.

[@sonyreese]

Those free throws in the playoffs literally make or break his career, put him on the map for sure. So much pressure in that situation.

[@earthchild04]

The Flu Game is my favorite Michael Jordan moment.

[@top1mvp]

HE IS THE GREATEST BASKETBALL PLAYER TO EVER PLAY IN THE NBA

[@blackflag5148]

He's the greatest to ever touch a basketball.

[@godalmightyisthegreatest9308]

6-0 vs 3-6 with a much harder road to the finals. Way more clutch, way more cerebral, and way more heart and will to win then Lebron period.. nuff said MJ the Goat.

if your going to ask who was better jordan or bron?? please ask someone who was born no later than 90. thanks

[@nicholasstemen2060]

Honestly the best state that clearly sticks out even in today's game is his clutch shot % the league is 28% LeBrons clutch is 33% with is impressive but MJ has it all beat with 50%....that is just unreal the man is the greatest hands down he just dominated that Era he played in he shut out great named basketball players at that time...to go 3peat retire come back 3peat I mean seriously?!? Name another that can do that? You can only imagine that if his dad did not die and he stayed in they would've had 2 more I think they would've won 8 straight

[@lopezperez5153]

Not only greatest basketball player but one of the most famous athletes ever, even people who never watched basketball in their life know who MJ is. without MJ/ basketball wouldn't be the 2nd most popular sport FACT

[@benchang1022]

Growing up in the 80s and 90s, the NBA was packed with titans. There was something different about Jordon. It was pure magic. The game will never be the same.

[@nevalyin7802]

Mj is above average. I respect him though . He has many sons, but their all better

[@eduardoguerraavila8329]

There never was and there never will be another Michael Jordan. Nobody come even close to him. He is the absolute GOAT.

[@nevalyin7802]

Mj is above average. I respect him though . He has many sons, but their all better

[@rushfanjames2112]

Michael just toyed with his opponents. He ruled the game, no one was even close.

[@luzonrodante704]

Mj is just too deadly in the perimeter....the dribbling, the fake, the crossover, the hang time...and his artistry in fadeaway made him unstoppable. Kobe is a good player and so is lebron.

[@jasonhearn5818]

part of MJs greatness also was being a great leader getting his teammates playing to his standard making interchangeable role players better ...practices treated like actual games just as if not more intense..dominated his era regular season and game elevated to an even higher level in the playoffs and finals...offensive/defensive juggernaut..he wasn't just focused on just scoring point as many points as he could ..he was strategic in all aspects on the court ...all about winning

[@dumisatonyjohnson8145]

“Not only is he the best player but he’s also the greatest athlete ever to compete in any sport” Magic Johnson (1993) “That’s God disguised as Michael Jordan. He’s the most awesome player in the NBA” Larry Bird (1986) “If I had to choose a player to take a shot to save the game I’d take Michael Jordan....” Pat Riley

[@527Kenny]

You left something out. Yes Riley said, "If I had to choose a player to take a shot to save the game I’d take Michael Jordan....” But Riley then added, "...but if I had to choose a guy to take a shot that would save my life it would be Bird."

[@masonwright7700]

[@bdub4335]

When you include the "high" and "middle" posts along with the "low" post, Michael Jordan is also the greatest post player in NBA history.

[@naturehumaine1219]

It's not easy to be an MJ MJ = Michael Jackson MJ = Michael Jordan

[@RMSNOMORLIMA]

I think you can add a few to that list. MJ = Magic Johnson MJ = Mick Jagger (Rolling Stones lead singer) MJ = Mahalia Jackson (Gospel Singer) MJ = Michael Johnson (Track star and multiple Olympic Gold medal winner) Just to name a few

[@inefekt]

Jordan was such a goat MJ that he added another J to become MJJ

[@manuelayala926]

What separated Jordan was mentality, period, so competitive, dominated the entire league.... No one could beat him. He was never satisfied, never complacent, always trying to outdo the best or his best.... Highest standards.... Countless accolades..... Unrelenting in his pursuit for standards that no one had achieved... Insane work ethic.... He was the man when it counted... extreme amount of confidence... He is just head and shoulders above anyone. Still....

[@Daveyboy_GolfR]

I've been watching Jordan videos over this last month on KZbin and this is by far the best one. I actually got chills at many different points throughout the video. Props

[@ericaalves8850]

Not one even came close to his skills period. Anyone who says otherwise is jealous of his a complishments and that is their loss! Bulls fan forever!

[@edwinaljentera6513]

That's taken to have the remaining 4 in the hardwood but the leadership from Jordan is there, the passion to win and transform teammates with his trust, remember paxsons Trey , the successor Steve Kerr winning shot....its what we call team playing no monopoly

[@michaeldechristopher6944]

He made the players around him

[@emersonguhiling3429]

There was something to the way MJ played the game, I can't put it in words. I'll just call it the "X factor" or the "The Force" as in Star Wars. Some players had "the Force" like Allen Iverson and Kobe Bryan, but no other player had as much of "the Force" as Michael did. Steph and Durant has it. I just can't seem to find it in Lebron, he is great but its just not there. This is my subjective view, so you can call it bias if you want.

[@leif9880]

Emerson: exactly! Best, most accurate comment ever-ever. The thrill, the chill.

[@jazeru003]

Actually, if you watch closelye, you can see the force in LeBron. Why? Cause even if no one touches him, he somehow stumbles, falls and gets fouled. I think that kind of force is what they call "the flop"

[@mauricemartin2982]

Emerson Guhiling he was yoda

[@bud-9668]

Emerson Where I'm from, we call it the "IT FACTOR". And Mike had it for sure!! Mesmerizing, Captivating, Poetry in motion........call "it" what you will. Anyone that ever watched him play knows he had "IT".

[@johnnybousquetatb]

LeBron is dope

[@johncambridge7181]

Jordan lost the mvp season twice during bulls dominance..Barkley and then Malone .. but then he showed who the king by won 2 mvp finals during both seasons he lost mvp seasons..point is Jordan showed up when the it mattered the most..

[@MasterKeyMagic]

He isn’t just the greatest of all time in basketball. Its not hard to argue that he is the greatest and most dominate athlete ever in ALL sports. In basketball, whoever is second, which ain’t leflop, ain’t even close🙅🏼‍♀️

[@Keith18moon]

Sweet vid Johnny w, fav move has to be against NYN when he left Oakley and starks and jamed over PE, nuff respect MJ One of my life’s regrets not seeing him play live. 🤙🤙🤙

[@Iksmohj1]

MJ is way better than Kobe and that's for sure.Through all the years have passed,he (MJ) achieved so many things and changed the face of the basketball history.Kobe tries every moves of MJ but there's no way that he could be more closer to him.Maybe even in his PRIME.

[@edwinaljentera6513]

The finnesse of mJ was not copied by Kobe...compare their moves ,grace and fluid moves goes to mj

[@janpaulmananghaya8357]

jordan is the best because players during his era was faster, better ball handler, more shooter and more creative than the players of the 2000's. plus there were no illegal defense during the 90's, semi-zone was allowed at that time. so yes, jordan is the best.

[@gregoryeverson741]

also the they didnt have that gay double team rule like they do now

[@mikesmith8782]

[@ma.ceciliacajustin8114]

Fearless. Invincible. GOAT.❤❤❤

[@dreskee8422]

My greatest moment from Michael Jordan besides seeing him play for the Wizards before final retirement was watching him play against Charlotte on t.v. once. He ran to the right sideline and jumped. He drew at least three players with him. He jumped before they did and then when they caught up they jumped too. In the slow motion replay...two of the three players began to descend and Jordan was still in the air in a fade away form...when the last defender began to descend Jordan released the shot and began to descend himself...upon landing...nothing but net! 😎

[@usaisgood8433]

Like the other MJ......Jordan is head and shoulders above the rest of his peers!

[@crissdrift6271]

Jordan is the greatest 6-0 at the finals never been to a game seven, labron James and Kobe isn’t even in the conversation.
