Watching a prime MJ steal and hurtle across the court and jam is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen on the basketball court

[@aaronmoir7694]

90-91 Jordan was insane... his game tightened up and it just looked perfect.... every aspect... footwork, at the rim, mid range, open court, defensive pressure, box outs, makes his FTs, precise passing, compete level at 15... the dude did everything they way it’s supposedto be done.... do you upload full games?

[@phew9418]

Nailed it! Add all of that with his killer mentality... Game over!

[@bernardkam1534]

Well said. And when they won in 91, their confidence was just out of this world. They could be down by 20, they always felt they could win. Those Bulls teams gave a feeling of inevitability. They were just insanely good. When Jordan walked away partly because the game wasn't challenging anymore, I never felt he was bragging. Nobody could beat him at his peak

[@AnHebrewChild]

1991 was his apex.

[@Mister__Jey]

Man, Jordan in his prime was sooooo dominant....UNBELIEVEABLE

[@johnnymurphy4475]

He was blowing bubbles

[@cl9685]

59 pt game vs pistons in '88 shot like 78% just crazy

[@tenchikid80]

MJ to Payton: "Welcome to the NBA, it ain't gonna be that easy."

[@makavelioutlaw7037]

I saw this one on TV. I was so hyped cuz I don't ever remember him havin 3 breakawayz in one game cept that one

[@momoneylessproblems9183]

88-92 MJ was a God. No player will ever come close.

[@PowerGearPerformance]

Youngins - Michael was electrifying!!

[@frank_abstein]

MJ: “I had NO problem with the Glove” 😁

[@AHMAD-2324]

Good lawd Michael Jordan defense was insane. Prime MJ would put the fear of God in you...You didn't wanna see him in his prime. After his prime you had a Lil bit more of a chance, but during his prime it was a wrap!

[@futuregohan4837]

Prime Jordan Would School Kobe '00

[@dannyscipio1777]

@@futuregohan4837 2000 Kobe isn't prime Kobe though...

[@tustari]

Doesn’t matter which version of Kobe it is. Prime MJ would eat his liver

[@SimplicityBeatZ863]

These kids dont know how great mj was, i get tired of the player they compare to mj is really a joke

[@MandyZor-El]

MICHAEL JORDAN WILL ALWAYS BE THE GOAT! That’s his legacy to always be compared to the next great player. I love it, can’t wait to see who the next great player will be so that they’ll compare him to MJ. Oh and records of total stats are for people who play a shit ton of years in the league, has never made anyone the greatest, just ask Peyton Manning. Great players but not the GOATS. That just means you played more years. The fact that MJ’s accomplishments were in only 11 full seasons with the Bulls just blows my mind! Not to mention the style that Jordan played offensively and definitely was just exciting and awesome to watch, endless incredible moves, shots, and incredible defensive plays. He’s just the BOSS, the GOAT, the MEASURING STICK! So lucky to have lived thru his era!

[@ODGamerz]

Hearing Gary Payton tell this story is amazing

[@LovingTinha]

Jordan had to play against people who could put hands on him and that knew how to move their feet to stay between him and the basket. That is the big difference between him and the bums from this generation. Outside of Kawhi, not many guys from this generation have the skills and tools to be compared to Michael. Kawhi has basically exposed all the other superstars of this generation as ineffective stat padders. Jordan was not putting up stats for the sake of stats, he was putting up stats to win and only to win. He won 6 Straight Titles in the absolute toughest and greatest era of the NBA, that is unbelievable.

[@moun3164]

Well 33 pts was pretty much his scoring average. His slam dunks in that game were spectacular though

[@derekmcfarland9352]

Moun33 7 steals!

[@futuregohan4837]

1:33 That Looks Similar To Jordan's Cradle Dunk From The 1987 Slam Dunk Contest

[@evergreenthunder]

@@futuregohan4837 it's one of his signature dunks.

[@thetruefistofthenort]

Raised on MJ on WGN & SportsChannel

[@edmondlau511]

We know you're old when you say SportsChannel. LOL. Red Kerr and either Tom Boerwinkle/Wayne Larivee calling those games is something we will always remember from our childhood.

[@DickTahshon]

I think I watched almost every game from ' 85 to '98.

[@jodiebagwell2639]

There isn't a player alive today who can do what Jordan did af 3:17. No one.

[@toddmichaelsen788]

MJ was The Glove before the glove.

[@meg-k-waldren]

That first dunk - Feels like another one, Feels like another one.

[@chrisx2k6]

Move at 3:20 was disgusting. So fluid. So artistic. So athletic. So effective.

[@rickbrees3297]

Agreed. Long answer: He sets it up with that baseline turnaround... usually might shoot it off the feed, but here... quick pumpfake, left hand dribble, 1 2 quick steps to the basket +layup = all of us 30 years later still saying dammmm

[@chrisx2k6]

@@rickbrees3297 It's his gracefulness on top of that. So smooth, it's almost like the defenders/adversaries are there to make it look even better. Like choreographed bad guys in a Kung fu flick.

[@AnHebrewChild]

@@chrisx2k6 this ^ is a wonderfully creative comment Thanks. Made me chuckle. And it's true!

[@ericgold8500]

What a game by Jordan! The incredible part, is that it was just another routine game to him, another day at work lol

[@ta4life27]

Man that guy was spectacular damn

[@johnny6610]

MJ moving 88 fast and hops

[@n3gv1n]

"This is real shit right here. Welcome to the NBA, little fella."

[@chitownref]

Great job with all your videos MJ23 His Airness Forever! Do you have the game against these Sonics, played in Seattle, where MJ drives the baseline, slips and puts his hand on the floor to keep his balance and hits a reverse layup? I think that game was played the season before this one. The move is in a lot of MJ highlight videos. Been looking for that game for a long time.

[@bwade5544]

:52 the way Dale Ellis screamed at John Paxson tryna make him miss. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@chrisx2k6]

I miss the physical defense.

[@sbmahon247]

I had no problem with the glove 😂😂😂

[@StoneGone]

We all know about his offense. Jordan in his prime was an elite defender that could guard most point guards, shooting guards, and small forwards. The power forwards and centers of that era were the real deal at their positions, so I’m not gonna say he could check them. Lol!

[@Xtortion617]

Jordan absolutely mastered the game of basketball I really don’t see any weakness in his game

[@yaboycurtis1103]

Comn Mike take it easy with all these steals

[@gokublack3107]

His 85 rock the cradle dunk look better

[@Fantumh]

It was like a MJ greatest hits for dunks. The first six Top 10 sports plays of the day would have been taken up by Jordan.

[@bbjfam8248]

I always liked those Sonics jerseys, remember growing up with a Kemp one. The days when life was much more simpler😁😭😂

[@AnHebrewChild]

Not a Sonics fan but those are my favorite jersey of all time The ones Seattle wore in 96 finals sucked so bad. But then, it was a nice match for the Bulls goofy United Center hardwood (black borders, ball under the midcourt Bull, etc) barf

[@MS-ly4oi]

Watching Jordan is scary. No way anyone can tell me lebron is better.

[@filpan]

0:34 look at that speed buoy

33 Points in todays league would be 50 Points.

The thing that riddles me is..... millennials praise Kobe for dominating this era and him being the best but don’t think the nicca he pattered his entire life around wouldn’t do the same thing. Shyt makes no sense

The 5th most mysterious states power holder is Emperor Marcinus connected or relative to Emperor Serverius of the 7th Roman empire. Serverius probably interconnected to Cerberus of the ancient myth wisdom and of the movie actor agent 47. Of four 7 or 7 four. Ive known him. How can Marcinius a Blackman became Romes emperor? A Hollywood wisdom insertion?
