Yep. I have seen 3 reaction videos and I realize that most people never really watched Jordan or his videos so they’ve speaking out of ignorance.

[@KyleDanielson42]

As sick as this highlight reel is, it truly doesnt do him justice. His greatness can't be captured in highlight reelsn it was every night, every game, every opponent. His total destruction and domination of the league is unparalleled. He is the greatest there ever was, the greatest there ever will be. PS: its parental malpractice to not educate your children. You need to show them this and teach them who the real GOAT is, Lebron is great, but not even close to the GOAT.

MJ has no equal. Here is some data for anyone interested in the truth. Jordan on Offense 30.1ppg for his career, most in NBA history 33.4ppg career playoffs average, most in NBA history 33.6ppg in 6 Finals appearances, most in NBA history 41.0ppg in a Finals series, most in NBA history 10 Scoring titles, most in NBA history 10 seasons with 2,000+ points, most in NBA history Jordan with advanced Analytics PER (Player Efficiency Rating): Highest in history for both the regular season (27.91) and the playoffs. (28.6) Win Shares per 48 (WS/48): Highest in history for both the regular season (.2505) and the playoffs (.2553) Box plus Minus: Highest in history for both the regular season (9.22) and the playoffs (11.14) VORP per Game: Highest in history for both the regular season (.1083) and the playoffs(.1382) Jordan on Defense Jordan was the first player in history to be selected to 9 All Defensive First teams. He was the first player in history to get 200 steals and 100 blocks in a season, it has still only been done by 3 players. (Michael did it twice). He was the steals leader 3 times. He's the only guard in history, relative to his position, both in the Top 5 for blocks and Top 5 for steals. He was the defensive Player of the Year and Scoring Champion in the same year, the only player in history to accomplish this. His 131 blocks for the 1988 season is still the most blocks in a season by a guard in NBA history.

[@1971tallica]

People who didn't watch back then just don't get it, MJ did this stuff all night EVERY NIGHT ! It wasn't just one or 2 great games at a time, he performed like this every time he was on the court. He never quit , he never left a game early , and he was hard but never asked anyone on the team to do anything he wasn't willing to do himself. Anyone who wants proof of that just look at the "flu game" , 38 points, seven rebounds, five assists and three steals.

@@stephenlawson3071 I just posted a ton of Mike's stats but why not? I'll post them here again just for you my dude lol. "copy/paste of my original post" For the "Lebron is better" crew out there... Enjoy these stats and facts I put together for you - Michael Jordan has: •2 more rings •2 more final mvp's •1 more DPOY •1 more season MVP •9 more scoring titles •3 more steals leader •3 more all defensive team selections •451 more steals •Beat 20 50+ win 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 Finals (never allowed a game 7) •Lebron had much more offensive help, example: Jordan never had a teammate average more than 22 points in the finals.. In fact, MJ is the only player in NBA history to lead a team to the championship with only one teammate averaging double figures in scoring * In the Bulls’ 1997 playoff run, Scottie Pippen averaged 19 points per game on 42% shooting. All other teammates of Jordan averaged under 8 points per game. Kyrie averaged over 28 and DWade averaged more than 26 with Lebron. •MJ never ever had a finals meltdown like Lebron in 2011 against the Mavs •MJ had more points in the playoffs in less games.. MJ accomplished all of this in 13 seasons Lebron after his 14th season, was STILL chasing the “ghost (GOAT) 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. •in 87 thru 92, MJ averaged 5 straight seasons of at least 51% FG shooting.

Michael Jordan did it 562 times in 1,072 games. Jordan won 6 championships without losing a final in 1,072 games and LeBron in 1,117 games had already lost 5 times and had only won 3 times. •MJ also shocked the league by being the first (and only) player to have 100 blocks and 200 steals in the same season, then turned around and did it again the next year..

Everybody knows Jordan was a scoring machine, most don't realize he was monster on defense too. After being criticized by the "press" for lack of defense his rookie year, he came out and won the NBA Defensive player of the year, without dropping the offense. He went on to get 9 NBA all defensive first team picks. The man was all hustle/work at both ends of the court.

I was never a Bulls fan since I've bled purple and gold since 1980 but I was fortunate to have seen prime Mike in person a few times and I haven't seen anything like him - in any sport. The bounce.

Dude, MJ is just a good a passer as LBJ is, or even better. When he was asked to play point for 25 games, he averaged 30/9/11, with 10 triple doubles in 11 games. This video just showcased his offensive prowess, mind you. He's also a defensive beast and the best mid-range player out there.

Jordan wasn’t selfish. He played the point for a stretch of games and got 10 triple doubles in 11 games. When Phil Jackson became the coach and implementation the triangle offense, he asked Scottie to play the point forward and Jordan to finish the plays with his scoring. MJ sacrificed his all around numbers to play in his coaches system. History has spun it as him being a ball hog though. When in reality, the triangle offense is based 100 percent on screens and ball movement. By the way. Jordan taught Scottie to play defense

12:04 You made an excellent point about the game being slower for Michael than it was for everybody else. One of the things that always use to amaze me was how he was able to anticipate the moves of the defenders and react to them in real time. That's actually why he switched hands in mid-air on that famour lay-up against the Lakers in the Finals. He saw Perkins on the right side of the rim making a move as if he was going to reach up to challenge the shot. So that's why jordan switched hands and laid the ball up on the other side of the rim. He was simply amazing to watch. And he did breath-taking plays every single night he played. If someone made a highlight reel of all of Jordan's amazing plays, it would literally be hours and hours long!

People were legit scared of Jordan. There is a good Kobe interview where he talked about that. Jordan did not just beat people on the court he took up rent free space in other peoples minds. He did get a good amount of assists, obviously nothing like Magic who was a point guard. But look at the league at the time and his stats are more than comparable to other 2s and 3s of that era for assists. He was a freaking legit assassin though. When that clock was running low no one ever asked if he was afraid to take a shot or take a foul. If you are looking for a good video on passing check out White Chocolate. His highlight passing is a ton of fun to see.

Lucky to witnessing his prime time. Definitely the Greatest ever! He was a beast on the court. No one near him. Maybe Kobe. Definitely not Lebron.

[@ADiaz-sf5bl]

You had that "kid in the candy store" look when the mixtape started. Welcome to team Jordan .

[@gregcummings2826]

Born and raised in Chicago, saw MJ play hundreds of times ever since he was a rookie. He's the best that's ever done it and whoever is second ain't even close...

[@curtayars7344]

Michael Jordan's job description is in the title of his position "SHOOTING GUARD" Magic Johnson was a point guard as is LeFlop James

[@eddiecainejr.9442]

@11:17 is my favorite part of this Vid when you talked about Jordan's fundamentally sound handles were good enough to get by his opponents because of his huge hands he palmed the ball a lot. Jordan skill level was technically & fundamentally sound & he had counter moves on top of counter moves to any defense he went against. A beautiful game to watch but the pure drive to get better, the fearlessness of no opponent, over abundance of athletic ability & the KILLER INSTINCT was what made him have no weaknesses in his game. He was always thinking the game 2 to 3 plays ahead of everybody else on the floor. Its what all the greats in the game were able to do in their careers.

[@barakleibovitz9379]

mj is the most amazing athlete i ever saw.

[@jd35711]

i think you captured the essence of MJ very well. when i watched him play live it always looked like he saw everything in slow motion and effortlessly made the right adjustment every time. imo the greatest team sport athlete who's ever lived. he won DPOY in 1988 btw - while averaging 35 ppg.

[@indycustommade3568]

I was at his first game back from retirement. I'm a big Pacers fan and actually had a hard time with this game. I love my Pacers and MJ is my favorite player right before Larry Bird. So I was very conflicted in this game. It made it even better knowing that my team beat the Bulls in his return. Can't say too much for the rest of the season. MJ ended up winning 3 more championships so that was fun. You should watch the video someone made with the song "I believe I could fly" and MJ's highlights. It's really sweet.

[@shaunculp4221]

Jordan is top 5 at his position all time in assists. He is the most lethal jump shooter ever. He was a 9 time first team all defensive team member and won a dpoy. He did everything.

[@weeg17]

Less than 10 seconds in to watching the mixtape and this dude already smiling ear to ear. MJ the GOAT man.

[@paulamoya7956]

Jordan was on all defense first team and was top scorer ! He was the goat . I watched him every time he was on TV cause it was so Amazing

[@GoldTop57]

Jordan’s defense was elite. He was 9 times 1st team league defense selection. He could guard anyone he wanted. He was just obviously focused on getting the ball in the hole. And you’re right, he wasn’t worried about a big man or anything else. In fact it always seemed like he got more excited the more obstacles in his way. And before that last game winning shot for ring number 6 he also made the steal at the other end to set it up.

[@JayMill24]

Jordan came out for the fans. I remember seeing him in the old Chicago stadium against the Sonics and Shawn Kemp and Gary Payton. It was one of Jordan’s flu games. He played for the fans. Dude was a beast!!

[@gaeta7796]

I’m 38 now and I witnessed this man play, and boy he was something else. The Great Michael Jordan 🐐

[@stevenmonte7397]

The videos don't lie! He IS the GOAT! watch his defensive highlights. Most complete player ever.

[@Beofware]

MJ won Defensive Player of the Year my guy 🤙

[@brittneyairgood]

& the best part, still to this day, a celebrity who never fell thru the cracks. he is still humble, kind & true

[@simplysimple7628]

Great reaction video brother. I’m 44 yrs old. Graduated high school in 1996, so you can do the math. I was 6 yrs old when MJ entered the league but I had family members that loved to watch basketball. So even at 6 yrs old I still remember MJ and his crazy athleticism. I used to think “wow can he jump high”. As he matured into the league, I grewup watching him. Always was fixated to watch him play. These highlights really doesn’t do him justice. You have to watch the full games to really understand his true greatness and mentality. He NEVER F@CKIN QUIT!!! Both ends of the floor. No joke. He could do an unbelievable move and leave people with their jaws on the floor and he wouldn’t be celebrating. He’d hustle his ass back on defense or pick his man up full court. MJ was all bizness!! He was an entertainer but was serious about his craft. So all the creativity and money came with all the hardwork. Earned all of it.

[@minamartinez6325]

Timeless. I've watched this video over and over again like it was the first time.

[@nicholaspietrzak9992]

Did you ever go to a wizards game when he played for them? I was about 8 years old and loved basketball. He told me we are going to see the greatest player that’s ever lived. I remember seeing him play but definitely noticing that he was at the end of his career. I just remember being happy I got to see the guy from space jam play live 😂

[@joshuacaldwell5270]

They questioned his defense once .. he came back won defensive player titles ... he took 2yrs off to play baseball (homeage to his dad?) Came back & won more titles ... GOAT

[@mccoyrj452]

When watching this pay attention to how many fast breaks he is creating with his defense. Man scored constantly as a result of him putting people in a straight jacket defensively.

[@dmagin777]

Can you do LeChina James' highlights of when he would leave his team on the court before the game was over, and go into the locker room and pout..? I think there's a few of those.. thx

[@pheynx7573]

Don't forget about the flop reel.

[@josiah8351]

Kobe has better highlight reels than lebron

[@ingobordewick6480]

He was smooooooth. That's why they called him "the black cat". And he had one of the most unguardable shots. His fade-away-jumper was not to defend. Because of his abiltiy to jump, you can't reach the ball for blockin'. 9 times all-defence-team bro. He was made by nature to be the GOAT. No debate at all.

[@toddantkowiak1205]

Mike was an assassin had a heart of a lion.. win at all cost. I'm thankful that I'm old enough that I was able to witness his playing years. Hated the guy because I'm a Detroit fan. I got to give it to him he is definitely the goat in my book from what I've seen during my lifetime because of his heart and his skill.

[@LordVader66]

When u have the GREATEST player to ever touch a basketball, you give him the ball and let him do work. period.

[@Endless-River]

I love that at the start that Van didn't believe it, and then the realization slowly kicks in with disbelief during the middle of the video, to then him just being like "Nah, I'm out." in defeat lol. People say that MJ was selfish when he played, and while it could be true, he just wasn't. Look at what he had to do with the Bulls, turn it from a shit team into one of the best teams in the NBA and then he turned it into one of the best of all-time. That's what he was there to do, he might not be a team guy all the time but he was when he needed to be, he brought everyone in the team together. He is the greatest because while other greats could do some of the stuff 90% of the time, he did it on a nightly basis. From what I've seen, when you went to one of the games, you knew that you weren't going to a basketball game, you were there to watch a clinic. Great video, man!

[@MichaelReep222]

MJ most athletic and best of all time

[@gingeroo5765]

I grew up in NC and a big Carolina Tarheel fan so, I starting watching him there and then on thru all his Bulls days- loving every minute of it all. I used to lovvvve watching him and Scottie Pippen tag up together. Scottie was my fav Bull for sure outside of Mike just being the “KING”. His high school and ours were only an hour away from each other and played each other just 0-2 times per basketball season but, I never went to any myself.

[@MyReallyCleverHandle]

Definitely worth watching his defensive highlights reel too

[@mikeal-lateef_5138]

6:52 Footwork is crazy the dude was the whole package, Kenny Smith summed it up best he was athletic as hell like ya Wilkins and Drexler's but he was fundamentally sound.

[@CaliDBan]

My favorite player at the time was John Starks, wore his jersey all the time....and you can see him just getting MURDERED in this video a bunch. I love Jordan, but he did my man DIRTY all the time, to the point where Starks dunked over someone, and Jordan tried to get in there to contest it, and they made a poster for Starks like he dunked over Jordan. I had it on my wall, they called it "The Dunk", but it wasnt even on Jordan, it's pretty funny looking back now on how he almost got him ONE time...and it's named that. I feel bad I worded it that way, bc he had some fire years, but hey, Jordan was running the show. Nothing but love for Starks, many memories and big moments.

[@JayMill24]

Anyone that watched back then, LOVED to watch that matchup. You always knew it was going to be a show between those two. I miss those days.

[@CaliDBan]

@@JayMill24 Jordan, Hakeem, and Reggie...The villains in my basetball youth. Knicks got so close, but I still look back on it fondly 😁

[@JayMill24]

@@CaliDBan The Knicks helped those players become great. In that era, everyone had to step up their game when playing those bruisers and the Pistons.

[@leechrec]

I must say. Starks fun to watch.

[@tavaresthomas6016]

Thank you I have this argument all the time. Starks dunked on Horace, Jordan was late with the help but people swear Starks bodied Jordan

[@dvdgway]

Jordan was the best offensive player and the best defensive player. I've seen them all from Dr. J, Bird, Magic, Kareem as well as LeBron and all of the newer guys...etc and Jordan is BY FAR the GOAT

[@teedepefanio4974]

Lmao... its good to see your reaction. Jordan was everywhere. Ive never seen Jordan play a game where he didnt do something impossible... impossible. SUBSCRIBED

[@TheSksexton]

Jordan grew to realize that he couldn't do it alone, although up until around 88 or so, he didn't really have anyone to pass to. He was more likely to score tripleteamed that most of the pre-Pippen Bulls were if they're wide open.

[@hud1231]

best blocking guard ever, 3 stl titles, 3rd all time stealing (more than Pippen), had 100 block 200 steal seasons twice

[@rabidDAWGfan82]

Bobby Knight said this about Jordan before was even drafted. “If I were going to pick three or four best athletes I’ve ever seen play basketball, he’d be one of them. I think he’s the best athlete I’ve ever seen play basketball, bar none. If I were going to pick people with the best ability I’ve ever seen play the game, he’d be one of them. If I wanted to pick one of the best competitors, he’d be one of them. He’s the best athlete, he’s one of the best competitors, he’s one of the most skilled players, and that to me makes him the best basketball player I’ve ever seen play.”

[@capiseric]

He was all-time defensive team numerous time. Jordan was the man.

[@targetshootr]

I saw my Heels play in person one time, in MJ's last year there and he didn't disappoint.

[@jonpaulevans31]

"I didn't know MJ got down like that."... Man, there are reasons why a lot of us say that people can call LeBron no2 all-time, but MJ is the GOAT. And this mix didn't even show a lot of his best moments. The Flu Game, him and Scottie killing my Pacers with OffRebs to barely win in gm7, his numerous blocks on big-men, The Shrug, the steal off Malone right before his gw-shot in gm6 in Utah. LeBron had almost all the tools to be slightly better than MJ, but not the mindset. Jordan wanted to dominate and be feared, LeBron wants respect and to be liked.

[@grobinson7507]

He was beautiful to watch Live.

[@trishahamilton5880]

The Bulls lost to the Bad Boys (The Pistons) for the National Championship which left Jordan pissed...he went on to win his 6 National Championships after that!! His drive and ambition is unsurpassed...he IS the GOAT!!

Your son definitely needs to watch this!I wasn't that interested in basketball, until I saw Jordan play.

[@cryptojunkie2478]

MJ did everything....that is why his is the G.O.A.T. Best to ever do it. Man I used to hate it and love it at the same time when he came to Seattle. Always stung a little more knowing the Sonics traded away Scottie Pippen to them too

Please also react to Michael Jordan’s passing highlights. His defensive highlights. And his ball fakes highlights

I think the words you were looking for at the end were “I just saw a glimpse of the Greatest to ever do it”.

[@lowellandrews5623]

Jordan did his best everytime each of his games was like a highlight in real time offensive and defensive

[@jeffspain3613]

Jordan made all defensive squad multiple times and even won defensive MVP one year.

[@hershelpogue1745]

The truth when seeing it for the first time is revealing and mind-blowing. Their has been only one of Michael Jordan and no players have yet been able to be compared to him that includes Lebron James. Just a few of Michael Jordan highlights is more than many of players career highlights. Michael Jordan everyday had more highlights than every player in history. Abd I am a Dr.J fan.But I'm honest about it. Many guys can't admit it because of their hate for Michael Jordan. Size doesn't matter in this argument, but heart, desire, will to win, and skill, and leadership, and the ability to listen to your coaches do. This guy broke, raised the standards so high, and achieved so much that any other players would have to do it the same way or it just doesn't count the same way as Michael Jordan did. Their are no comparisons that match what Michael Jordan has accomplished his entire career. And the real second best is Kareem, with Kobe Bryant in third place, Magic Johnson, and Larry Bird, Tim Duncan, all these guys past the real test of winners. Past the stats, and with their teams still had greater finals performances than Lebron James, which I have outside of the top five that I mentioned.You have had to do it on your own to be in the top five category. Lebron James has had way too much help to be in the conversation.

[@Teeyah2]

MJ was simply poetry in motion! I love the way you describe him as in the matrix. You now see why MJ IS the GOAT....PERIODT!!!

[@terihumphrey6624]

I 💕 watching people react to Jordan especially LaFlops fans

[@Ieeho98]

One of the biggest things that separated MJ from the rest was his quick feet. He could change direction (right or left) on a dime and then put that burst of speed on and the guy guarding him is left as a spectator watching him go in for the dunk. If you want to see an awesome and hilarious video watch Michael Jordans best trash talking stories. Stories from Kevin Garnett, Magic and Reggie Miller (the Black Jesus comment) are the funniest. A must watch!

[@marcarseneau6377]

While they were on the court jordan was playing a "chess game" always 2 moves ahead...everyone else is playing a "checkers game" lol

[@Beofware]

I wouldn't say that necessarily... He was simply the most intense, soul-driven, and athletically gifted player maybe ever. Larry Bird was the one who played it like chess. If Michael had the mind of Larry or vice-versa, lord that player would have been quite literally unstoppable.

[@jrob5516]

No one is on Jordan’s level when you look at these highlights. It’s not even comparable

[@joelcarver8932]

pausing to say this at just before 5 min in.... if you watched Jordan you expected him to score everytime the ball touched his hands. He was that dominant....I'm 40 I watched this dude as a kid and he was incredible!

[@jn8604]

4.3 40, and 48 inch vertical on a 6'6" shooting guard... he was fast, could jump out of the gym, defended like a demon, could shoot from almost anywhere (3pt not as good), you can't stop that. Even if he was in the game today, he would still be quick enough and he'd just out work you every day. Man's work ethic was next level as well.

[@jeffspain3613]

Realize two things. #1: This is a mix tape, and while it is thoroughly impressive, it's only a shadow of what MJ could do. #2: During the Jordan era, you could hand check. Imagine just for a second, if you will, that Jordan played with today's rules....let that sink in. Sorry brother, but any talk of LeChina James as the GOAT is just silly.

[@gunsfan4ever]

MJ has defensive player of the year honors. He won defensive and MVP in the same year as well. This still don’t do MJ justice. I saw him play in person and it was wonderful.

[@user-gp8tr4gz8y]

I grew up watching MJ and even saw him play baseball in person. As a kid living in that era, there was a saying. If you ever said that you cant do something or that something is too hard, the response was always "they told Michael Jordan that he wasnt good enough, and look at him now". They were right and I still think of Mike as a mentor when it comes to competition.
