Multiple players have said when they first see jordan it looks like he's floating😂😂😂 that wild as hell..

[@leechrec]

Ikr. It's absolutely hilarious but I wouldn't doubt them hahaha

[@RobThaBank]

Even Shannon Sharpe said it

[@MarkDarnell]

I seen Jordan at the Summer League in Vegas about 12-13 years ago. Not gonna lie, I couldn't look away, I instantly started smiling bright and said, man that's Jordan. And didn't know that same night I was witnessing a young Steph Curry on the floor too. That was a crazy night.

[@ressestevenson7309]

Lebron said the same thing

[@marvinhunt1049]

Exactly! AI, TMac, Penny, Grant; ALL OF THEM MENTIONED THAT THEY COULD SEE JORDAN'S AURA!

[@ramosfr9082]

MJ also never made himself accessible to media/fans after retiring which keeps his aura strong 🐐

[@amadoulaminendiaye7824]

I was one of the few unknown person that approach him talked to him he stop for 35 seconds and when I asked for a picture he said yes I was shaking and almost missed 5 pics in the row then he grab my phone gave it to his bodyguard he took one and MJ asked him to take another one . GOAT

[@samarthbhatnagar347]

No media keeps him relevant,his team sucks and his teammates of 90's still leach off his name by saying they were there too. He just does what he should do make money as entrepreneur

[@Bsb0830]

@@samarthbhatnagar347I agree. His team sucked yet he was able to wield that horrible team to 6 championships to achieve 2 three peats. Unfortunately, Lebron couldn’t do the same with his Cavs team which makes MJ the got among other reasons

[@festusaniemeka3350]

He does that because he has too many fanboys that revere him and it’s uncomfortable for him

[@festusaniemeka3350]

@@Bsb0830when mike had a team like what bron had in Cleveland he was getting broomed out the playoffs. finally was able to have a winning regular season record meaning he won over 40 games faced the cavs and was able to avoid the sweep. mike had the worst record ever to make the playoffs.only way I will take mike over bron is he has to come with Phil Jackson other than that it’s bron every time.i will take Hakeem.the goat Kareem before anyone of those media darlings which is bron or the one that got them charging every rule in the nba

[@user-zx4lu2en3n]

The difference between MJ and everyone else is "reverence". A lot of players are respected, but Jordan is revered. Like Ali and Bruce Lee. They are one of one.

[@GoGetYourShinebox]

Throw Tupac in there? Some people just had that aura where people would take notice when they walk into a room. There are a few others too

I met him 2 times, as a waterboy and his basketball camp and for me it was the glow. Then when he asked me how I was doing and put his hand on my shoulder I legit thought I was in a different world.

Very few people have that tiger woods has it too among athletes and Brady too

[@JcbJcbJcb14]

@@huwdavies-tallon3305 If you think about it, it's all in our minds and what is created. The media pushes them, talks about them, shows a lot of their images and videos, non-stop talking about them. Then when you see them or get close to them, your mind is messed up, because all the hype was in your brain and now that it's in person, you're trying to compute it in real time. Hence the "glow effect". The opposite is true of people you don't care for, they're not pushed in story lines, clips, etc.. if you met them you're like "okay, cool you're Jim Michaels" or whoever, no big deal. It's the degree of the push they get on the media that affects the reaction you would get in person. You meet your idols, your mind is gonna be your own hype man.

[@ChiraqMaybackMMG]

[@david-ug4qc]

That's why we don't like lebron because he doesn't give enough respect to the goats only him that tries and prop himself up he knows in his heart he hasn't passed Jordan why else would a billionaire still be playing at year 21 and wants to keep playing but he so bogus hes trying to say he's playing because he wants to play with his son that's false Anthony Davis looked at him in disgust when he said I'ma play many more years

[@wolfworst]

dont ever disrespect the great kobe bean bryant by putting his name by a player who shot under 30% from the 3 for a decade and couldn't go left

[@david-ug4qc]

That's why our heroes don't last ,our people never wants to show respect they always wanna disrespect or take down our goats that's old rappers don't get respect like old rock stars ,Bruce Lee in China nobody ever tries to disrespect him because there isn't a doubt he was the best ever just like MJ he was the closest thing to perfection u will ever see on a court meanwhile queen James was choking against Dallas choking against Boston choked against the spurs scared of Kobe in all-star game scared to enter dunk contest,it's laughable that he did same thing as KD but gets MVP the year he had another MVP type guy on his team dwade,it's lies he's fake and on balco

[@MrSweatLeisure]

Dominique getting his flowers 💯. One of the most underrated greats of the game who should've easily been on the original Top 50 list.

[@GoGetYourShinebox]

For me he is the most underrated for not getting in that top 50 list which was made in the mid 90s. Dominique was a world class player during the mid-late 80s, a terrific scorer who could cause any team a problem. I put him as #2 in the GOAT dunkers too, just ahead of Jordan (Nique should've beaten MJ in the 88 slam dunk contest, his last dunk was def a 50), but it was in Chicago so....

I was an intern for the sixers when Jordan was with the Wizards. Saw him after the game near the locker room hallway. And YES Absolutely it was like he was walking in regular speed and all the ppl around him were moving in slow motion. And Charles Oakley was right behind him 😅. True story. I didnt speak to Mike but i did chat with Oakley. Was much nicer than i expected. I also met MJ in like 87 at a Charity event near my house when i was 7 years old but i was too young to fully grasp the moment

I feel like social media ruined player’s Auras. Because trend starts by a few trolls making hate post and people wanna follow the trend when they see how much attention it gets. LeBron Aura was crazy too when he was first drafted and first few seasons in Cleveland. Shaq Aura was cray aswell. I would say Kobe but he try to be like Mike too much. Maybe after Kobe retired and his last game his Aura was insane. But this new generation of players has no chance to accomplish that thanks to the internet trolls. You can agree or disagree. Just my opinion 😴🤷🏿‍♂️
