[@TheRuthless999]

GOAT I don't think we've ever seen or ever will see anything like MJ ever again. He is a phenomenon, a one of a kind.

[@derekmcfarland9352]

TheRuthless999 agreed. no one can ever dominate like MJ. how can people compare LeBron? it's so disrespectful..

[@blackadam06]

+Derek McFarland "how can people compare LeBron? it's so disrespectful." They do it for a reason. The league and it's affiliates (i.e., the ESPN's of the world), KNOW that anything/anyone attached to MJ's name, will IMMEDIATELY create a buzz. And that translates into ratings for their stories (and publicity for themselves). Which in the end, will ultimately wind up selling their product (i.e., their show), the NBA game, and that particular player. And that's ultimately the league's PRIMARY objective. The problem with all of this however, is that it fuels the utter stupidity and juvenile ignorance of these idiot Y2K/millennial fanboys, that can OFTEN be seen in the comment sections of videos such as this one.

[@ProductofCrew]

blackadam06 well said.

[@sohaminyoh]

Kobe was similar in scoring. He took worse shots though. Plus MJ was more athletic, better passer, higher basketball IQ, better defender, etc.

[@delfra70]

Yeah MJ didn't take a lot of bad shots, he took tough shots at times but rarely took flat out bad shots. He was also stronger.

[@sohaminyoh]

He easily has the most aesthetically pleasing mechanics in the history of the game.

[@jswish5821]

Ernesto Hendrix he can't shoot 3s good though.

[@sohaminyoh]

Justin Stlouis what does that have to do with anything?

[@mrblend]

Justin Stlouis Thats what the 1992 Trailblazers said as well when said that in the Finals.

[@Dysthmic_Danny]

MJ shot over 40% consistently from 3 in the playoffs against better defenses.

[@rambosexy2009]

Ernesto Hendrix Go learn basketball.

[@menacemc]

at this time MJ had connected wit the game spiritually. He had mastered the game like no other player.

[@sportjames23]

He ascended to a higher level. It's like Bruce Leroy when he got The Glow in "The Last Dragon".

[@ta4life27]

sportjames23 like Goku reaching super Saiyan for the first time

[@WhelmedButReady]

Just like my My player from 2K15. Truly was unbeatable, the man averaged 68 points and almost 20 rebounds per game

[@AHMAD-2324]

I truly believe that Michael Jordan is the greatest athlete in all of Professional sports!

[@southsideman4891]

Hard to argue. God bless all who are great in their craft.

[@washburn11000]

I agree

[@mikefuma3552]

Nope. But he is goat of basketball

[@southsideman4891]

@Tech Guy I heard he practiced witchcraft to get it. Same with Tom Brady and LeBron James. LeBron throws up 666 and the pyramid sign before every game during the national anthem. Dont trust these people. Keep them heroes at a distance...

[@southsideman4891]

@Tech Guy I JUST TOLD YOU WHY! Look up how people get success in sports and in Hollywood and politics, business etc: THE DEVIL IS THE gOD OF THIS WORLD!

[@blogginsriverbymnl48isabop86]

You'd think he was playing in Chicago with the amount of cheers he was getting

[@j.d.2896]

Beth Loggins Every video I've watched of his it's like he's playing at home.

[@southsideman4891]

They literally were like the Beatles those 3 years in Chicago: they were a global phenomenon. A basketball team.

[@wwbdwwbd]

Baseline turnaround fade-away out of bounds and almost behind the backboard and swoosh... The most beautiful move in the game of basketball, and MJ has done it many times.

[@boogieloo1831]

wwbdwwbd - that was his go to shot - spin baseline behind the backboard to neutralize the double and triple teams. And he made them consistently from both sides. He truly was incredible.

[@vadimberserk5652]

What the timing of that move?

[@powerman1993tk]

Beautiful work of art when Michael Jordan was on the court. 23 years later watching these games over again and still no one has posessed the game MJ had. You can watch Jordans game in the late 1980's and just how dominate he was compared to the rest of the league. I always thought it was amazing that going into his 30's he was able to change and master his game to still be better then anyone in the NBA. Even at 35 years old Michael Jordan was the best player in the NBA. Then he retires a 2nd time and comes back to play for the Wizards. Goes from shooting guard to small forward and still shows at 38 to 40 years of age he was still one of the top 12 players in the league. Averaging 22 ppg at the age 38 and threw down another 50+ point game. Truly the best to ever play basketball.

[@edmondlau511]

This is how a professional athlete conducts an interview. He doesn't call himself the best player in the world. He doesn't act like he's never been there and done that. He scored with such ease, like he was toying with the Heat. He didn't stare people down or mean mug after scoring.

[@donnelladams340]

Mike was 33 and mature by this stage of his career.

[@meg-k-waldren]

The alley hoop though. Dude, literally caught and palmed the ball with one hand out of the air. Big hands. Unreal.

[@twobigjets]

I remember watching many of Mike's 40-50 point performances in Chicago. My family would be like, oh he only got 50 tonight. GOAT.

[@cjmcdonald2281977]

GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!!! There is no debate

[@hallofjames43327]

@Gerry Buckets cap

[@hallofjames43327]

@Litty 3 Titty nope

[@hallofjames43327]

@Danny Green Is A BRICK NOPE

[@cookieskush2487]

Who is gaurding him 😂😂😂

[@cookieskush2487]

Who tf is gaurding him 😂😂😂

[@HoustonIsImmortal]

Mid 30s and still going up to the top of the box to one-hand jam an alley-oop from Pip!! He literally made scoring 50 seem as easy as getting a tan in Miami!

[@JakeBayCity]

I was there! At the end of the half when Pip and MJ hit the back to back 3’s the crowd went insane............ amazing experience I’ll never forget. Every game was like a home game for the 90s Bulls

[@momoneylessproblems9183]

Greatest player in the greatest era. MJ would fall asleep playing in todays game.

[@m74d3]

That was the most effortless 50 pt game I've ever seen. Well other than like 3 other ones (that also happened to be MJ, like his 53 against the Pistons in 96). Others have scored 50, but no one did it as effortlessly (and looked as good doing it) as MJ

[@rphilemo313]

Jordan's that college kid that plays with high schoolers.

[@JPLMONEY23]

Jordan practice hard so his game would be so easy.....he's just having fun.

[@richardconwayy259]

yeah ur absolutely right during practice was the hard work when the light rolled he was on a mission to snatch the competition's heart out its utterly unbelievable the passion this man had that wont ever be matched

[@majestyarchives16]

Gerry Buckets huh

[@dayra6425]

I think he practiced so hard it took years off his career .. but that's what made him the best

[@EdmondLau2007]

It looked as if he was toying with the defenders. The one guy Sasha kept trying to block his shot. Hubie had a point, he has tried blocking MJ's shot 4 times and has 3 fouls and 0 blocks to show for it. LOL.

[@LiftedSeven]

The GOD of Basketball

[@James-ee6sx]

I like the comment from Jordan at the end, that he's trying to get Assistant Coach Frank Hamblen a ring because he was the only one on the team that didn't have one. As it turns out, Hamblen ended up with one more ring than Jordan (Jordan got him 2 with the Bulls, and he got 5 with the Lakers).

[@puredistancegolf]

Best off ball player of all time.

[@meg-k-waldren]

While MJ was the one trying to get a ring for Frank Hamlin or anyone on the team without a ring, LBJ is the opposite, crying about he needs help, wanting other people to come get him the ring.

[@lookcloselyatmypic1326]

LBJ is soft just look at my pic. smdh

[@AJRAOfficial]

meg FACTSSSS

[@AJRAOfficial]

GOAT of LOSING FINALS AHAHAH NICE

[@boogieloo1831]

meg - seriously. How do people not recognize the entitlement and egomania?

[@AHMAD-2324]

meg Like he said he was having a great NBA Finals because I'm averaging a triple double" I'll never forget that he said that stupid shit, SMGDH!

[@yongwilson7859]

The GOAT Michael J. Jordan! Thank you for all the memories! I still watch these older vids of MJ, 90’s, early 2000’s he is still the best I ever saw, many greats then, now but still MJ all day!

[@jayscribe7547]

His game is so solid, so efficient. He does whatever he wants out there

[@3N2sw]

He makes it look so easy...yet its only because of years of hard work and determination that has led to it.

[@MichaelLandSeasandAir]

And that Miami team was good with Mourning, T. Hardaway, V. Leanne's, PJ Brown, and Dan Marjle. Jordan still destroyed them

[@danielbell6794]

And Jamal Mashburn too. It's just ridiculous on how great Jordan was. He was in a an era where there were SO many great players and teams he played against. He was just head and shoulders better than everyone else. Amazing.

[@rambosexy2009]

Daniel Bell True. And look at the competitions we have nowadays. The East has no one.

[@HailKingCeezer]

61 win team and #1 rated defense. That was a really good team. They held MJ to 39% shooting in the ECF but still got beat in 5

[@hallofjames43327]

@@HailKingCeezer cuz he da goat

[@hallofjames43327]

@Litty 3 Titty no he doesnt

[@Zone-mc2tp]

this dude needs to have more subscribers his vintage videos are priceless!

[@genustinca5565]

That tip in at 5:18 Pure poetry

[@raviolihands5347]

DID THIS AGAINST THE EASTERN CONF WHERE IT WAS TOUGHER AND HAND CHECKING WAS ALLOWED OH BY THE WAY IM SURE PIP USE TO GUARD HIM IN PRACTICE THEY MADE EACH OTHER BETTER AND BETTER

[@southsideman4891]

Correct

[@haozhang8593]

It is amazing that MJ made the mid range shooting an art. I can't just watch it endlessly without even getting just a little bored.

[@HawkingRegime13]

Why does ESPN even try and compare LeBron to this dude, it's not fair.

[@erik666111]

HawkingRegime Because NBA is boring now.... So that's why they create people like Nick Wright

[@cheezlayer]

Lebroom! No! Heck no! The conversation/debate is over MJ goat!

[@southsideman4891]

This is Jordan's C game, maybe even lower. Hes not even trying.

[@pedrocandelaria3957]

Yes.true not fair

[@Calebsfish23]

Litty 3 Titty still bette than anyone in the league scored 81 point 12 times defensive player of the year 5 rings scoring leader nobody a record like kobe unless your mike or wilt not even bron step rose westbrook ai tmac vince can even say they have half of what kobe got

[@andyoc]

That was great, really reminded me of how phenomenal MJ was.

[@fad2679]

He's an artist tbh. Look at that spin move off the screen at 1:05, then to his perfect jumper. It's just art at this point.

[@thebigone6071]

Remember watching this game as a little kid. Even then I knew I was witnessing greatness. Great memories.

[@ricardoheckstall7301]

Them head phone's is drenched give him a towel or something and Jordan talking like it's nothing like he didn't just drop 50 points

[@howardOKC]

Yeah need a towel

[@johnnybruhvo]

Comparing these highlights to today’s game is so different. He made it look so effortless compared to today where they dribble the shot clock out for a shot.

[@kalelwilson8337]

Poetry in motion.....

[@user-jk7bd1ss4d]

MJ. great performance.

[@damonfoster3592]

These Jordan clips should have millions of views! The 🐐!

[@6aliph77]

Give this man his respect, the REAL King

[@navshawnguron99]

I like watching this older version of him just playing smart and bullying guys with that strength.

[@The.Governator]

This was a phenomenal performance! MJ can turn up the heat just like that and when he's in the zone there's just no stopping him.🐐🏀

[@4321tim]

I remember this game like it was yesterday, Michael was killing!!!!

[@Corean_Jesus]

Not even Kobe who started his NBA journey at 17 was able to reach the Pinnacle of Skills Jordan reached... Simply amazing to watch

[@ProductofCrew]

After Jordan's Buzzer beater 3... was he trash talking someone? In the replay he looked like he was pointing at someone and had a angry look on his face.. Didn't look like he was yelling at a teammate.

[@xxtrip2endzonexx936]

MJ the only player that opponents fans cheer for

[@pianoarmond]

Jordan is the greatest player ever ever ever!

[@MegaLlama11]

In all my years of Jordan highlights, I’ve never seen that alley oop. Thank you.

[@MCOuZuu]

2:30 that's the definition of pure dominance of a team, damn!

[@lookcloselyatmypic1326]

true GOAT. respect

[@healthyman101]

96 Jordan to me is peak Jordan a long with his 91 year 🔥🔥

[@justinparica2379]

87-88 MJ

[@JJA1987]

There a reason he holds the all time records for 40 and 50 point games - Lebitch may have more points and field goals then Michael but- Michael will always be The GOAT and that's coming from a Celtics Fan

[@jaydenlee6573]

That’s cool and everything but can you do that without bashing lebron?

[@LastBoy-Boy]

LeBron could be the GOAT ,MJ Is Simply the GOB God of basketball,no doubt Man!! how can you compare some else to this man,Is another Planet .... His video speaking about

[@HailKingCeezer]

First time i've heard him say his proper weight. I've heard in a video with his trainer that he was 212 for the '93 season, In this video he says 219 for the 95/96 season and dropped back to 209 for 96/97. He looked back up to 220ish for 97/98. By Wizards years, he must have been around 235-240, he was much heavier looking by the eye test.

[@Daveyboy_GolfR]

34yr old MJ.. the mid-range pull up J off the dribble, just as deadly (If not more so) than young MJ often finishing in the paint. This MJ did EVERYTHING!

[@hassanabdallah2972]

great video! I think this prob is one of mjs best games ever.

[@southsideman4891]

Greatest team of all time.

[@donnelladams340]

Absolutely right.

[@RushNZ]

Thank you for all of these awesome uploads. Much appreciated.

[@TA-ht4jo]

He was 6’6” and 209? Wow.

[@ericmeng4857]

MJ the GOAT

[@BigBen1994]

The Heat retired 23 for MJ nuff said 💯

[@boogieloo1831]

He was one of the most intelligent and articulate athletes ever - but he's a bad guy according to millennials? When I listen to LBJ, all I hear is an egomaniac with a ton of entitlement issues but kids think he's a good guy why? And MJ is bad? Please, lol.

[@rambosexy2009]

Boogie Loo LBJ is just dumb.

[@Jboooog18]

Boogie Loo more of what LeBron does off the court and how he is with his teammates, mj is an asshole lol backed up by a lot of people. No man is perfect but when comparing LeBron and mj, LeBron is the "good guy"

[@rambosexy2009]

Jay TS I agree. Lebron = an undkilled loser 😂😂😂😂

[@alfatrinininja]

Mostly because of his extreme competitive nature (which really only showed in basketball atmospheres) and the fact he didn’t want to use his power for any social causes. The latter I somewhat understand

[@maliknelson4253]

At least MJ is upfront about it . With lebron he'll act like he is cool with you but when yall start to lose he'll throw you under the bus. And he is very passive aggressive.

[@kevinliu2898]

[@diamondboia774]

🐐🐐. Can watch this all day fr

[@dennismenace2670]

MJ was averaging 31ppg from the start of the 96-97 season to the end of 1996, the Bulls were 30-4 going into the new year and would only win 69 games that year, 3 wins away from reaching 72 wins again.

[@Woo_Tech]

Came back to see the GOAT 🐐 at the end of 2019

[@rishicabrera4484]

[@henrykim921]

Almost all jump shots. Insane considering he was a 50percent shooter.

[@michelcyrillandicho7111]

2:41 a Stephen Curry's range

[@turtleislandlac1490]

Notice how full the Miami stands are. Because they wanted to see Jordan play. Even Lebron's big 3 didn't get that many fans except the playoffs.

[@baurzhanaldabergenov2263]

Basketball of 90s is so pleasing, now it is only 3-pointers with no defence

[@jaydenlee6573]

Not true

[@DCMFR]

This was mediocre defense lol

[@danlora5599]

Everyone talks about his fadeaway. Rightfully so. But his pull-up jumper was equally as deadly.

[@user-gc4mj7vq8o]

The goat

[@lukee1217]

Every night he was playing was must-see television

[@donjuanismo]

Thanks for postng this. I love your channel. Absolutely enjoying wacthing these games! If you have any rare game highlights or footage from 1987-1990, we would love to see it?

[@Maxjuliann]

He looked clean af with cherry 12s and the all red jerseys

[@perealty5105]

It's crazy to think about how much better he and guys like Bird and Magic would have been if they knew about all the rules....like that they could jump forward, come down and still take 2 steps before jumping again, or that you can pick up your dribble step back, then still have 2 steps forward.

[@bankrollace8737]

Nobody shook hands after the game . Man I miss that competitiveness. Only a few players have that mentality in today’s game

“How can the bulls get better ?” “Well we haven’t had a perfect season” that’s the greatness mj was striving for. Perfection. The man was just different
