It’s always amazing to me how many people believe that the love Michael Jordan receives is because of his “legend” and not his actual skill. But listen to how the announcers speak about Jordan. Listen to how they analyze his game and how impressed they are with how he dominates the game in every aspect. This was in his 3rd season, before there was any “legend”. The man was AMAZING to watch in the moment. The “legend” of Michael came later and was well deserved. Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player I’ve ever seen.

1988. Jordan was MVP,defensive player of the year, All-star MVP, led the league in scoring and steals, and the slam dunk champion.

Michael's game always looks 10x smoother and like a decade of moves and skill ahead of everyone else.

THE ONLY THING MIKE AND LEBRON SHARE IS HAIR LOSS

[@randomname3715]

.........and the Lakers destroyed him the other 20 times.

[@marvellhudson4853]

MJ made it look fluid! I remember, back in the day, when the Bulls came on, everyone left the park, running home, to see Mike work Magic. No pun intended. 😁

[@shermanpearson926]

Just think labron James would have traded away the whole bulls team or joined the Lakers LoL 😂🤣🤣🤣

[@Widkey]

I wish players today would develop a solid mid range game along with the 3 point shot.. too many games where the 3 point shot isn't falling and the game turns into a brick fest.

[@tirethor972mjolnir3]

He had 42 in a time when defenses were allowed to defend.

[@Chris-hi6ut]

This was the year after jordan won the MVP, DPOY and scoring title in the same year. MJ was by far the best player in the league at this point.

Watching Jordan back when I was in High School, I always had feeling of excitement and anticipation because you just never new when he would make yet another amazing shot, but you probably weren't going to have to wait long. Haven't felt like that watching any other player .

[@danielh3179]

Jordan's quickness was insane back in the day as he blows past Magic at

[@Aboog11]

Youngins you notice no overdribbling and the ball moving with precision. Thsts basketball. This why the spurs and the Warriors were great teams. It's not only talent. They moved the ball

[@picksellpaint]

We've seen a lot of great basketball since the Jordan era. I can honestly say that I have never felt that level of dominance since.

[@mothersmilk644]

1988 Jordan was incomparable. Lakers were the NBA Champs that year, but you could see the pieces start to come together for the Bulls. They were so young.

[@Dragracer612]

Growing up watching MJ….I never really understood the greatness I was watching at the time. He was just being His Airness. Only now, looking back, can I truly grasp how good he really was. Same with Larry Legend.

[@goosegagaadam]

Man they were fun to watch. I think I watched every game and had such an excitement built up during the day anticipating watching Jordan and the Bulls play. Thankful that I have those memories.

Not only is this great content but the quality of the video is amazing for an 80s game.

[@riccouchman5604]

Wow! The grace and finesse of Jordan.
