MICHAEL JORDAN RARE FOOTAGE - PICK UP GAMES AND ONE ON ONE

[@trueempire8948]

MJ just had a certain bounce to his game so smooth. He was just playing on a different level than everyone on the court.

[@thanammtna]

Fact. I mean dribble hop at 0:04. It's Bob Costas said his game is beautiful to watch. Picasso on the court.

[@misosour]

He just moves different

[@jovelhamilton601]

Kobe said it. He does not do wasted movements. It's precise and to the point.

[@alfredtk1910]

MJ shall be happy he played in a weaker era.

[@RobertRobinson-od6eq]

You are burping and gulping

[@Pswayze23]

​@@jovelhamilton601and all lol those movements are done by one of the most athletic players ever. I can imagine how stressful guarding him would be.

[@itonlyhurtswhenyoulie]

​@@alfredtk1910 And you shall be miserable in your jealousy being white.

[@ToddSt]

Poetry in motion. Athletics turned art. He was special. I don't care about GOAT debates, MJ was just amazing to watch. I miss him in the NBA.

[@XimApexx]

Everything is pure elegance.

[@breauxcewayne1971]

The footage starting at 1:59 is when he was playing baseball. He would go to a gym in Chicago and play pickup games. There’s a video on KZbin about it. The people that were there talk about how cool he was because everyone was treating him like a regular gym member. Jordan showing up to a local gym to play pickup games has to be the coolest thing ever.

[@The_Watcher86]

That in and out tuck untuck lay 🔥 didn't even need the other hand

[@lucjanpetroniusz4970]

The best player ever

[@yoshikigrg8]

Wow. This is truly rare footage.

[@difidon]

There will never be another like him, we saw a glimpse of it in Kobe.

[@wreck.create.MAK0]

Imagine the most athletic and the most fundamentally , technically sound player in one- then add the most competitive spirit. Lebrons great - but anyone that knows basketball knows his footwork and technique are nowhere near Jordan, Kobe and bird , etc .

[@truthtelleranon]

facts

[@ifheavenwashuman]

@@wreck.create.MAK0 Neither is his competitive drive. Joining and configuring superteams, frequently crying to the refs, and creating excuses for losses postgame doesn't point to competitive drive.

[@manumalia]

They are different kinds of players. No point in comparing them. They’ve both the best ever at their position. LeBron doesn’t have Jordan’s offensive skills, just like Jordan wouldn’t know how to run a team like LeBron. They just see the game differently, but many people seem to ignore this basic fact.

[@ifheavenwashuman]

@@manumalia Jordan played PG in the 88-89 season, and still dominated.

[@manumalia]

@@ifheavenwashuman so what’s your point? That’s not his natural position. He can do it for a little while, sure.

[@MagnumConcilium]

He defined the pinnacle of basketball.

[@ifheavenwashuman]

The most technically sound player to ever play the game.

Until Kobe. I don't put anyone over Kobe, MJ or Tim Duncan.

[@Vhc706]

​@@lemini4kKobe is great but not as athletic. MJ had a killer vertical and huge hands.

I think Kobe was more fundamentally sound, but make was the greatest. This coming from a Laker fan lol

Great vid.these are rare

[@ChrisMadness92]

I remember in an episode of "The Last OG" with Tracy Morgan when they talk about a barber Legend who even with a blackout he could let you crispy and nappy,and then disappeared....That's the feeling with MJ.....a specimen outta this world.

[@TheRbruin10]

OMG! This is a GEM! I am definitely saving this on my playlist / favorites before I lose it.

[@TheGreatness-gg1jx]

These cheap camera pick-up games show just how effortless his explosiveness was. It's like seeing a Ferrari or a Lamborghini in a parking lot full of SUVs and Trucks.

[@dameianjones6641]

Great Comment but these weren’t cheap cameras. You’re just looking back & watching the best technology available 40 years ago. I wish that those analog equipment could be merged with current technology so the visuals could match his game. It was true bliss watching this man. He even made foul shots sexy. He didn’t stay around for 20+ just go say he broke records. He just was the best of his time and no one else came close…..it’s like he was #1 and #2 was actually #6. That much better than everyone and he dominated every player & team so there was no debate. He was the better player, With the better shoes, who had the better commercials, had more appeal, gave much better interviews and was the best ride in DisneyWorld. His reach was so far that the league has still not recovered…. Nike hadn’t either. The nostalgic connections of the love affair that fans worldwide have with Micheal Jordan keeps MJ current & his shoes keep Nike dominant.

[@d.michael372]

No player ever played with so much grace when in the air lol. Never will be another.

[@antav9371]

Dr J did, ....props to Connie Hawkins and Elgin Baylor.

[@d.michael372]

@@antav9371I’ve said many times, without Dr. J there would’ve never been MJ. Nobody got the hang time like MJ though. The scoop shots, back to the basket and twisting in the air. Back to Dr. J, he is top 5 all time!

[@antav9371]

@@d.michael372 Cool, but I'd have to disagree. Saw the whole career's of both (maybe you did too). Haven't seen a better more graceful open court player than Julius Erving. Scoop shots and finger rolls galore. Floating on air, gotta give that to The Doctor! Still has some of the best plays in the NBA....the off the dribble, one handed, cuff dunk with Cooper flying by and the floating out of bounds, reverse lay-up against the Lakers. And thats an older Doc. What young Doc did routinely in the ABA (and early NBA) was off the charts. MJ surpassed him in some areas but not open court, floating to the basket in traffic, imo.

[@d.michael372]

@@antav9371 the thing that’s amazing about Jordan he had that same air control shooting jump shots, it just wasn’t his dunking or attacking the hoop. If that shot against Craig ehlo doesn’t exemplify hang time then nothing does.

[@antav9371]

@@d.michael372 MJ was great no doubt, just wasnt the first to do those things. Elgin Baylor, Connie Hawkins, Gus Johnson, Julius Erving, David Thompson to name a few (not just on layups/dunks). The same marketing, tv/video and internet exposure didnt exist for those guys. Jordan is standing on those guys shoulders, he will (has) even said that. "Elgin Baylor hangs and shoots over Nate Thurmond" youtube video

[@thegrandpencil4374]

If kids today had Jordan, they would feel the same way kids of yesterday did. They would go to their graves defending the greatness to which they bore witness. They would know.

[@sniperjay0916]

Yup. Now imagine him playing in the 80's and 90's where at his advance age, he could not get all those easy layups. He'd have been out the league years ago, because he would not have been able to shoot from the post.
