There is no era, MJ is the G.A.O.T of all time PERIOD!

As someone who watched Dr. J, Magic, Bird, Kobe & even Lebron live, there was NO ONE like Mike. He is the GOAT period! He had no weaknesses in his game.

I'm a huge LeBron fan or I used to be anyway he's changed a lot since the early Cavaliers days. Difference is Jordan played every game, went hard every minute he was on the floor, never flopped, never shied away from the big moment as a matter of fact dominated the big moment, played defense and offense and never asked for load management minutes. He hit the big shots when they counted the most, he made his teammates better, he didn't depend on his teammates to carry him, he played thru an Era when other teams attacked him, and he was humble.

I was a kid watching him in the 80’s and a teen in the 90’s. It was insane. My lord it was spectacular. I don’t come from a basketball family or anything and I remember my dad, who worked on a farm long hours, would stop to watch his games. That’s how badass MJ is.

In this Era he would average 50 a game against these new rules! He would absolutely dominate the league ! MJ The G-O-A-T

“In his Era”?!! If MJ played today and did the moves he was doing in the video, he would the highest paid, most popular, shoes most popular, etc. the lean in dunk he invented. MJ is an ICON

Michael is the only player that gives me goosebumps watching his highlights makes u just wanna get up and walk out the door

As a fan, nothing breaks your heart more than seeing someone not giving 110% ALL THE TIME. That to me is the thing that puts MJ on the top. We're all different with different strengths and weaknesses, but despite that, when it's go time, YOU HAVE TO GIVE IT YOUR ALL, YOU HAVE TO, and MJ ALWAYS DID. He had no weaknesses (NONE), and he NEVER GAVE UP, and that to me is the definition of a TRUE CHAMPION.

He would be even better in this Era and any other era in the future..

That switch hand "unnecessary" layup was his 13th consecutive field goal in a finals game. If youre making 13 shots in a row you like you could do anything.

The eyes never lie what you see is Michael Jordon is the greatest basketball player ever and what really sets him apart he played both ends of the court and he dominated his competition!

5:08 its not even really about where he's leaping from, it's the fact that he doesn't need to really run to gain momentum. He just takes one step and still will dunk through contact, that's true crazy bounce.

Is the goat in every era he had absolutely no weaknesses you cannot say that about any other player

It was so cool growing up in the Jordan era. Every single night you knew you would see something special. As much as I love LBJ, he has his moments. With MJ, it was the entire game he was turned on and 110% on offense and defense and he looked good doing it. And he loved winning more than anyone. People in other countries celebrated MJ. It was a great time for basketball.

Jordan’s competition especially during the second 3 peat was the greatest era in NBA history. No flipping or taking breathers on D or in the paint in general. super star studs bringing 100% on every second.

People not hating guarding MJ, they FEARED him….. no one fears Bron. FACTS

I grew up watching mj... as a pistons fan he was scary good. As he became the greatest player, I had to give him his respect. The man is a legend beyond a legend. 6-0

Dude,there's more amazing highlights that I didn't see. I saw him play since 91. He is the GOAT in his era,your era,and the future ear. No one will ever be better. It's not possible.

He's a GOAT in his era, but the best basketball player we've ever seen compared to all era's 😊

The fact is he didn't need to shoot three-pointers but he made a lot of 3-pointers when he wanted to Check his stats on

When you have to stop the video so many times to go "wtf did I just see" it shows how insanely GOAT MJ was

I swear that final shot as a Bull truly immortalised Jordan. Imagine having such an amazing career for the Bulls to end it with a championship winning shot, with an iconic pose, sealing a second 3peat. It pretty much guaranteed Jordan as the GOAT in most people’s eyes, his Bulls career was like a movie

You gotta simply love MJ and what he did on the court😍 purely magical ✨ none like him...never will be..

That last shot, trust me homie, it was amazing, the difference from back in the 90s and now, we were inside watching every last bulls game, no one was outside.Mike was hard on his team because he told them, if i am gonna work this hard, you guys will do twice as much work as i do, he wasn't mean, he was just winning, he wanted to win, you never do anything to lose, you do it to win.

Jordans footwork, ball fakes, fundamentals, finesse and skill level was just off the charts.

They didn't rely on 3 pointers in the 80's & 90's to win games. They actually played the game. They didn't cry foul every time they got touched

I was watching game 3 between the Nets and Sixers and at the end of the game in the final minutes a foul was called sending a Nets player to the line. The commentators were trying to explain why the foul was called and all I could think about is how Jordan would have definitely averaged 50 a game in today’s game. No doubt

"he didn't have to do all that," Kid, it means that MJ had to made it difficult for himself because a true GOAT competes with himself. His moves teach us life lessons, Kid! God send MJ to teach us some life lessons!

Any era MJ was and is the G.O.A.T. period.

Do you even know what GOAT stands for....? There's no "GOAT" for one era, and another "GOAT" for another era. There is only one GREATEST OF ALL TIME, and his name is MICHAEL JORDAN. The rest were the greatest of their era, Michael Jordan is and will ever be, THE Greatest Of All Time. PERIOD

Every person I’ve seen watch this Jordan ultimate mix video has needed to constantly pause and rewind because they couldn’t believe what they were watching. Jordan was just that good, and he did it night in and night out, year after year without taking any games off. Every single game, he did something out of this world unbelievable.

Folks don't seem to realize that this level of play was all game - every game. These type of plays were routine for Jordan in his prime. It wasn't just a few per game either. It was literally every time he touched the damn ball, magic would happen. People also don't seem to understand or appreciate the fact that Jordan was playing like this in a league full of generational talent & HoF level players. Just look at the names he's terrorizing here - Barkley, Bird, Thomas, Wilkens, Olajuwon, Robinson, Shaq, Ewing, Rodman, Laimbeer, Johnson, Salley, Drexler, Mutombo, Mourning, Miller & on & on & on. That should be a huge consideration when looking at his career.

When you have players from the past and present saying if MJ played today in the less violent NBA he’d be putting up 50-60 a game you know he’s the GOAT.

Great reaction youngster. I've been a Lakers fanatic since Magic's rookie season and I've seen a whole lot of ballers in person while in their primes, and I still haven't seen anyone as good as this black cat. The things my 20/20 vision witnessed were simply amazing. The guy had it all - raw athleticism plus fundamentals. And he had that maniacal mindset of a killer in serial. He was beast in man with his jaguar-like movements. Magic is my favorite player all-time but without any hesitation I proclaim His Airness as the greatest. Black Jesus aka Chupacabra - he who disemboweled GOATs.

Undisputed goat, best plays, best record, best resume, best shoes, nobody will ever beat mike and it’s because he’s so good but also so humble and competitive

That “unnecessary” move you said he made on the layup against the Lakers in Game 2 of the 1991 Finals actually wasn’t unnecessary at all. If you look to his right as he took flight, there’s a defender who goes up as if he’s going to try to contest and then decides against it (because it’s Jordan 😏). Jordan being an instinctual player (especially when in the air), his peripherals engaged and he switched hands so that the defender couldn’t do anything about it. Everything Jordan did was instinctual. The man was inhuman.

The "unnecessary" layup was because Jordan saw Perkins right beneath the hoop. Jordan and Perkins were college teammates and Jordan knew how good a shot blocker Perkins is. Jordan mentioned this in an interview.

Anybody that questions or doubts this mans greatness in any eras, his ability was unmatched, he simply is the GOAT

At 6’6 shooting guard with a 48” vertical.He was DPOY, Scoring champ, and MVP, and had over 200 steals and over 100 blocks in more one season.

What up Jay!! I can REALLY appreciate honesty and since you are doing that, my brother you just showed SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS, man it’s NOT EVEN CLOS!!

MJ form is irreplaceable in any era. What player has skills, clutch, form, footwork? Everything about his game was perfection. Even when MJ hustled for a loose ball it looked graceful lol

Someone answer me this honestly. Noone has ever given a straight answer to this question. One of the biggest knocks LBJ fans have when discussing MJ is his 3pt shot. Career I believe he shot just around 30% but only attempted 2-3 3ot shots a game. This was his greatest weakness supposedly and yet he sat right at league average for that Era. In today's Era guys are shooting 10+ a game. LBJ shoots 8 a game give or take and is also a 30% and lower career shooter. From 3. Now here's the question. How can LBJ even compare to MJ when LBJ FG% is around 30% also. LBJ shooting from 0-3 ft meaning layups, dunks and put backs is a 76%+ shooter. But outside 3 ft. Meaning 4ft- 3pt line is a measly 20-24٪ shooter. How in anyone's right mind can someone be that bad of a shooter and be considered a GOAT by any stretch of imagination. Someone please make ot make sense. LeBron simple cannot shoot the basketball efficiently unless he's arms length from rim.

most people focus on jordan's leaping ability but the dude had legitimate world class speed and first step quickness. that's why you see him just run by people and you aren't catching him on a fast break. also for a guy who wasn't the biggest out on the court he had no fear going to the rim on anyone.

Great reaction. Legend has it Michael is still throwing down dunks in that video to this day lol. Michael isn't just the goat of his era, he is without a doubt the greatest basketball player that ever walked this earth.

As we get further and further away from the time of his live play, we forget the aura of this man. We have yet to see an athlete of his calibre, in any sport. He’s the Michael Jordan of Michael Jordans.

The fact Jordan has never claimed to be the GOAT and is considered the GOAT by more of his peers hold lots of weight in the GOAT debate. Great video.

MJ is the best there is, best there was, best there ever will be. I remember thinking after MJ retired, there would never be another basketball player as good as him. I was right.

Good video....BUT..... LeBron's competition was not nearly as good as Jordan's because LeBron's era of defense is very soft. Jordan got jacked up, hit, knocked down and smashed every night. LeFlop would be somewhere in a corner crying if he had to endure the hard knock defense that was played during Jordan's era. They would have crushed LeBron in that era. PERIOD

MJ's plays just never gets old no matter how many decades has passed.

MJ had more highlights in one game than others in a whole season or career.

Jordan displayed more that 30 years ago discipline and determination to a degree that still inspire us today . Is still in a league of very few. Lebron is a fine player. But Jordan dominated an entire generation of the NBA. Every new player wanted to be him. And he teach ALL of them respect. He wiped the floor with every super star of the period at some point.

I've been blessed in this life to have witnessed the one and only 🐐 Michael Jeffrey Jordan #23

Lebron is a great player. Lebron has photographic memory. Lebron can recall plays so if they run that same play again, he knows what to expect. Kobe was a master of details and can mimic/copy someone’s moves. Jordan had the ability to visualize the outcome before it happens and then would tell you exactly what he was going to do! Jordan also had the ability to levitate and contort his body in mid air while palming the ball. All are great players but when you have the ability to predict the future, that’s why Jordan is my goat.

Love the video!!

You don't even have time to breath looking at this mixtape. 🐐

I disagree with your Era logic a bit. If Jordan was in this Era he would have access to better teamates too, a more spaced floor, be able to gather step, no hand checking, have the best trainers and have longevity like Kobe & Lebron. No other guard in this league would be able to guard Jordan, and it would create unfortunate miss matches. They would have to switch off him onto a big, which he can just fly by, and there is no other Center other than Giannis or Embiid who would really make him shoot more jumpers. But even then, he played against Shaq who is arguably the most dominant center of the past few decades. He's already a more athletic and better playmaker than Kawhi and no one is holding Kawhi really like that either. They would say the league is too soft because you can't touch anyone and people would say Jordan benefited from the modern nba rules, that would be the excuse, and they would discredit an entire generation just like they do today.

The artistry, the creativity will never ever be duplicated or surpassed!

I actually guffawed laughing when he popped his 23 bron jersey up! 😂

You gotta keep repeating that but the smile on your face proves you know the deal cuz lol

Actually his 3 point shooting percentage was very high. It just wasn't part of his game. It was held against him 1 week in the media. People saying he can't shoot threes.. So he came out the next game and shot pretty much only 3's. It's the game where he held his hands out (palms point up) after shooting, pretty much saying "I guess its just luck it went in the basket". After that game, no one questioned his 3 point shooting ability.

That layup against the lakers where he was flying in the air and switched hands was necessary. It showed how nobody was on his level even to this day. He’s simply on another level. That’s no knock to any of the all time greats.

you were truly blessed if you were around to watch him play live

I haven't met a single person over 40 years old who thinks lebron is better than MJ.

That is why he was called Air Jordan! He defied gravity.

You can't even imagine what it was like watching it live! I'm a Heat lifer but dammit man, Jordan made my day, everyday!

His competition was against teams not individuals. The teams back in the 80’s and 90’s were stacked from front to back and he was still able to do what he did with tougher rule.. These rules now are candy ass he did his thing Relentlessly… Every Night. No off days for this dude. And he never disappointed even when his team lost. Enjoyed your viddy 🫡

The eastern conference was the more dominant conference when he was playing. Basically, all the titles came from his conference, accept when he was winning

MJ led the league in scoring, and won defensive player of the year in the same yr. Never gave up on either end of the floor. GOAT NO QUESTION.

When you talk about COMPLETE player…MJ is the 🐐 by far.

MJ lived at the free throw line, a lot of people don’t mention that. He knew how to draw contact and he had crazy foot work.

I am 40 years old. It still brings emotions to me when I saw him hit the game winner in Salt Lake City any paws in the air. I thought that was his last shot he would ever take. I’m from Washington DC luckily a few years later, he played for a couple years for the wizards, but I was in high school when he hit the shot. I remember the next day everyone in high school, before Internet and cell phones we were all talking about the shot.

Worked his way, not only to the top, but to the G.O.A.T. period. Posterizing NBA legends, blocking people a foot taller than him, and in his later years...immortalizing team mates that deserved it. Especially Pip, the most underrated, underpaid, boss of the NBA.

There are legends from every era. But only 1 Goat! And that's MJ and it's not even close. Glad to see younger generations getting a peek and what most of us saw 1st hand. It was a honor to have watched MJ and the Bulls win 6 chips.

Love how the mix tape... has it devided in 3 parts... pre championships... 1st 3peat, and the 2nd 3peat...

The GOAT stands for Greatest Of All Time, not Greatest at one era. People want to have multiple GOATS when their favorite player doesn't make it to top 3. If there were multiple GOATS than Kobe is the GOAT of this era with 5 championships and 2 gold medals at the Olympics, a defensive and offensive monster.

Most of Jordan’s 3pt attempts from the 1st half of his career were bail out shots at the end of the shot clock which is why his career percentage is only 33 percent. The couple seasons that he decided to shoot more 3s, he ended up with some of the highest season averages still to this day. He showed he could shoot the 3 if he wanted to when he hit 6 against Portland just to prove a point

His ability to react and adjust is one aspect of what made him unstoppable. An entire team would attempt to cover him because they KNEW he was coming - and he would cut through them all and still score. When he was playing, the emphasis on 3-pointers isn’t what it is today, but he still put up great numbers. He could score from anywhere.

And Mike was no passport bros (travelling all day) 😂😂

In my opinion that “unnecessary” shot was just MJ instantly reacting to that laker putting his hand up🤷🏽‍♂️

theres a difference of not being a great 3 point shooter to not wanting to shoot them. if you say he made them when it mattered means he was a great 3 point shooter lolol. he didnt need to shoot the 3s..hes game was so elite and focused just getting to his spots that he was getting 60 50 40 points with just 2s. imagine if he focused on 3s....good luck NBA lol. Jordan is the GOAT. i get why people think not as their emotions take over, they probably get tired that everyone saying he is...

Love your reaction bro. It was awesome to watch every game Micheal Jordan played. I would change my schedule around just to see this man play.

In today's era with no hand checks and no double teams he would average 50. That's not an exaggeration. So much harder to score when the defender can hold you off with their hands.

I watched this live. I was born in 75. MJ was almost not human. You just knew if there was a shot that was needed he would hit it. The Cleveland shot and the shot vs Utah are iconic that will be memories forever.

Michael Jeffrey Jordan, 26 minutes of the most finest poetry in basketball, it just give me gosse bumps all over my skin every time I watch it. 🐐.

What’s crazy is I saw a ton of his games and am STILL blown away watching this guy do sht I saw him do 1000 times.

that one play at like 13:30, sums up the difference between MJ and LJ. Like it separates them on a whole new level.

This video is just a slice of the big pie that let's viewers know that MJ played like this EVERY TIME he stepped onto a basketball court....MJ would be the best in today's NBA era or any other....🔥🤗✌️

32.7 career avg from 3 isn’t bad at all. Especially considering everything else he could do at an extremely high level. He was just so good at everything else that he was labeled that way.

I stand up early before to go to school… about 4:00am here in Europe… for all the playoffs and finals of the Chicago Bulls in the 80‘s/90‘s to see MJ… Pippen… and all the other Icons of that Era. We all played Basketball day and night because of him. Greatest time ever… greatest player ever!

Great video. He could do it all. Imagine watching this night after night, year after year, against every other great player that ever went against him.

Man, Mike was the first athlete that I knew was gonna gonna do everything he could. Win or die trying. I never felt like he just got his numbers and checked out mentally. He wanted every game like it was his last. I loved watching Jordan and Kobe for that mentality.

I love you are discovering MJ. The behind the scenes stories are even better than the highlights.... Best MJ quote "Why would I worry about a shot I haven't even taken yet?" When asked if he felt pressure late in games...

Dude, you’re right it wasn’t necessary to go up for the dock and lay it up instead but that’s what made basketball so much fun and then after him you got guys like Tracy, McGrady, and Vince, Carter and whole bunch of other guys to start flying out of the building, it brought basketball so much farther than it could’ve ever been in my opinion, they made it fun to watch

What young people dont understand is the NBA has changed the rules since Jordon played and made the game so much easier. They dont understand hand checking and they are not crowed now when they shot.

Greatest BB Player ever, dude was a beast both sides of the ball and he was doing this from college forward!

That’s what you don’t understand. Jordan was the competition. When you’re the alpha on Top everyone else is beneath you and doesn’t seem as great in comparison. A 40yr old Jordan played against the new era and showed how unstoppable he was then. Nothing would have changed 10, 20, 30, or 40 yrs later. Cuz not Bron not anyone can stop or do what he can do. He still holds the highest average 37.1ppg being MVP while in an era where they invented the Jordan rules. The same as the hack a Shaq rule. Why? Cuz they were basically unstoppable. Wouldn’t matter what era they play in.

Joe Dumars said it best.People might say he was okay during his era.He said 20 years down the road people are going to say he is something else.He was right

These highlights never get old

Great reaction young man. Watch the layup when he switched hands more closely. Sam Perkins, a teammate from UNC, put his hand up and definitely looked like he was going to try and jump so MJ switched hands. Then Sam decided he didn’t want to be on a poster. He won 5 league MVP, 6 finals MVP, one defensive player of the year, 9x first team all defense, 3rd all time in steals, still has the highest vertical in league history, ran a 4.3 forty, most clutch player in history and loved to rip the beating heart out of an opponents chest. Stick with it. You’ll do great on YT. God bless

The NBA is super soft nowadays. Breath hard on someone and it’s a flagrant. Jordan was dunking and dominating in the big men era. Sorry to break this to you kid. Lebronica wouldn’t be able to be as effective in the big men era with old school rules. After a hard foul. He would need to be carried off the court.
