This is how efficient MJ was. If you watch closely, He took less than 3 dribbles to score every single time.

The fundamentals always came first. He never just depended on athleticism. Nothing unnecessarily off balance. Greatness.

This guy was consistently amazing every single game. I don't ever recall watching Jordan play and thinking damn this is boring. Always on the edge of your seat wondering when you were going to see him do something you've never seen done before. He had such an aesthetically pleasing game, like poetry in motion. In my opinion no one is bettet than MJ not Kobe, Magic, Lebron, Wilt, Russell, Oscar or Kareem.

The footwork masterful... nobody is even in the same stratosphere as MJ.

I grew up watching Micheal Jordan. My dad used to tell me as a kid "Don't take this for granted, because this is special and will never happen again". I said "yeah" but I truly didn't get it. I DID take it for granted. It was just the law of the universe. The Bulls had Michael Jordan and won championships, just as sure as the sun rises in the morning. Now I look back sometimes and can hardly hold in the tears. This was special. This was something else entirely. This was a once in a century athlete and my young, ignorant ass was watching him dominate the league. I feel so utterly privileged that I had the ability to watch this man play, yet so nostalgic and sorrowful that I'll never be able to experience it again.

I like how Michael Jordan’s game improved in the 80s and 90s.He kept getting better and better and better and better and better and better and had the best nicknames like The Black Cat and Air Jordan.He was the best player in the mid to late 80s and he owned the 90s because he was top dog in that era and no one could guard him.He had great work ethic and was a great competitor but he also had that KILLER INSTINCT 🔥.And that is why I love Michael Jordan and he had a beautiful jump shot and his dunks were effortless so as his mid range jumper.He was the ultimate ALL-STAR and Superstar.

He is just toying these defenses. His skills are just simple yet perfect basketball. The best ever!!

This is what a Grand Master looks like

That's what made the second 3peat so amazing. Because he was no longer Air Jordan and he was still dominating. But this time he's doin wit Jumpshots, Are you kidding me...

Jordan today would be a MONSTER

These highlights are so great. MJ was still by far the best player in the game even at 34 years old

The true GOAT 🐐

Mike showed guys every night that he was NO JOKE. Even if you played your hardest, you could still end up on one of his posters.

Can't imagine anybody had a better mid-range game than MJ in the NBA history.

Everything about Jordan is so amazing. His fundamentals, his ability to align himself in the air (which is hard to do), his ideal excellence. What a thing of beauty.

Mostly every single shot you can hear the net pop.. No rim 🔥 #Goat

Two players in all of sports that made all the other players look silly- Michael Jordan and Barry Sanders. Both played in the same era and I was lucky enough to have watched them KILL IT!

His shooting form was a thing of beauty

This man would still dominate the league today 30 yrs later.

I love how you show like 7-10 clips from the same game. It just shows you how dominant he was.

This Michael Jordan would have torched the Golden State Warriors.

That is 34 years old MICHAEL JORDAN - THE GREATEST TO EVER PLAY THE GAME!

Unguardable

Man this dude change the way NBA was playing the game and put it in a level that only few can play...but he was the man that change the game. Crazy skill , fast , strong , leader , shooter. Moves etc

The Real KING

that man is a pure shot creator!

I want more 96 97 bulls highlights please!! For real tho all the haters who said jordan couldnt shoot 3s he did. He just didnt shoot alot and rarely if ever practiced them. Goat is flawless!!

love that spin he put on the ball when driving to the left before he dunked on sura. that's master ball handling skill right there.

When he's in the "zone". He's unstoppable. His mid range moves and shots are sure points. His athleticism and fundamentals are so synced. He also has finesse. What a beauty to watch.

Greatest Player in History. Nobody can shoot the rock better than MJ and I mean nobody.

Amazing video. No offensive fouls on drives, unlike almost every player in the NBA today. Jordan would average 40+ in today's league because of the open lanes, lack of intimidating shot blockers, lack of handchecking, and the very fact that the refs allow offensive fouls on drives on a regular basis, ESPECIALLY for superstar players.

There will never be another Michael jordan

The Goat straight balling!!!!

The 42 that didn't like it are lebron D slurpers. These highlights showed just how great mjs footwork and jumper was. This is better than anything i see today....sheer skill. Amazing

Da Bulls and Da G.o.a.t! Hopefully one day the Bulls team will Win it all Again! #Bulls4ever!

One thing Jordan got a lot better at as his career progressed is offensive rebounding. This video was a small sample size and you still see multiple highlights of Mike getting offensive boards, put backs, put backs and 1, etc. Just awesome because at this point in his career it was all experience and wisdom instead of just pure athletic ability. MJ was a master at the mental aspect of the game.

This was a 34 year old Jordan!! 🐐

everytime i see these nasty MJ highlights i feel todays nba great players are just some average players.

his mid range is ridiculous. I think this is my favorite version of Jordan cuz its just skill and mental.

His fundamentals were amazing, and the athleticism was , well....One of the best athletes ever.

Idc what anyone says there is no one better than Jordan and the only player better than Kobe is Jordan 💯

sooo crazy.. michaels is so much ahead of its time GOAT

The Man the Myth the Legend---THE GOAT

I cant get enough!!!!

The way these players this era cant play defense. Mj would have a field day.

Can we appreciate how insanely fast he changes his dribble. His instinct to change his dribbling at different angles and position is amongst the elite ball handlers, with most being PGs.

His calculations & execution is unmatched. He’s the Goat

At this point he wasn't air Jordan he was what I called the smooth operator goat

Don’t ever compare a king to a god

MJ looks like Terminator while everyone else looks human. It’s like he’s in fast forward while everyone else is in slow motion. He’s like the Bionic Man LBS

This man’s skills were too immaculate. Fundamentals, footwork. Finesse, grace, art. 🐐

His midrange footwork post game and handles are way better than lebrons from what I see in these highlights.

In 97 he got down in weight and when needed air Jordan was air Jordan. He was like a member of the family even my mother who knew nothing of sports watched him with us. The dude was incredible.

Now imagine if he didn't retire in his prime to play baseball for two years. He qould have 2 more mvps 2 more rings 2 scoring titles and 2.000 points more 🤔 the indisputable GOAT

Imagine how many points he’d score a game in this era where everything is a touch foul...

I’m from NC I saw him play in a blue white game his freshman year in Chapel Hill ! I new That day he was special ! That was the only time I got to see him play in person!

Dude MJ would have killed it in todays league.....his 3 point shot was decent and he always improved what he was bad at

I feel like MJ

The real 23 and the real GOAT

Jordan and Kobe the best fade away jump shooters ever

One of your best yet... true Skill....can't wait for the next mix

I’ve watched this specific montage so many times such a great video

Nearly all of those mid range pull ups were against good contests. He was just hitting J's in people's faces.

Crazy highlights. Even crazier you just took games from the 1st half of the season lol. You didn’t even include highlights of the 51 Pts vs NY that was right before that game @ Cleveland. That just shows how amazing MJ was on a nightly basis. That takes great players a whole season to have a 9 minute highlight film.

He dribbled less to maintain his stamina and he was a great passer he just never passed much

The real king.... the. GOAT

I grew up in Chicago so seeing the evolution of mike from high flying shot creator to slashing shot creator to post scoring shot creator but all mixed into one fundamentally sound player who gave you every variation on any particular night you would see something so sound & simple yet so very creative & poetic that all you could say was "Damn did he really just do that." I mean he could do it all even defensively he would terrorize his opponents if his offense wasn't clicking right away but his Mid Range game was impeccable if he got into a rhythm early it was a wrap for the rest of the game his scoring efficiency was off the charts as well but the mental aspect in Michael Jordan's game were at the highest during his ascension to basketball immortality. A sight to behold MJ was the standard of his era of pure dominance on the basketball court a mental assassin to those who would try to challenge his competitive drive he wanted to bury his opponent every time no matter friend or foe. Michael Jeffery Jordan Chicago Bulls Est. 1984-1998

Kobe Bryant was close but yet so far away still

Jordan was the Master of And 1's n hanging in the air artistry at it's BEST.... That's why he was the best

4:35 "You can jump, you can time it, but you can never jump high enough" -Dan Majerle

This is called scoring without all the bullsht.

Dont forget this mj at this age is considered old. Dude was the most dangerous player even past his prime. He was so great his past his prime could be considered another prime.

7:07😭....why did MJ do him like that....HE MURDERED HIM!!!! on the court with that move 😁

And imagine MJ adapting to today’s game based on crossovers and step backs. The GOAT so many yrs later and ppl still catching up. MJ is 🐐

Great highlights, and the instrumental went perfect

That double crossover on Russell at 2:49-2:51 was nasty!

No flashy unnecessary bullshit dribbling, just proper fundamental basketball coupled with an insane skillset and an unmatched will to win. M fucking J.

His AIRNESS!!!✌✌✌

The greatest ever

great video to show someone who doesn't understand how good Jordan was. Look at how many of these sort of plays he finishes in single games.

Mj was just something else to watch

The Greatest ever!

He had a counter to everything

The 35 yrs old Michael Jordan

Strange how you almost never see anyone palming the ball like MJ does. Maybe MJ's secret sauce is that he palms the ball all the time, even while he dribbles. I mean you can see that he palms the ball to start his dribble quite often.

I LOVE LEBRON JAMES BUT JORDAN HE WAS THE BEST PLAYER EVER PLAY THIS GAME MICHAEL JEFREY JORDAN 6.6 FROM NOTH CAROLINA THE BEST SCORE EVER HE IS THE GOAT 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

Dumars hit the ball on the way up and he still made the shot..WOW

Greatest of all time no doubt

No wasted movements and no too much dribbling...

Goat 🐐

He would’ve adapted to the 3 easily

Every move has a purpose

kawhi in his prime= MJ in his late 30's

I simply feel blessed to be able to watch many of his games. Even despite living in Europe with the time difference. There will never be anybody like him. Pure magic.

Dude was nice.

his movement, his skill, his big palm = goat

As soon as i click on this video.... It finished!!!!! I saw many of those plays in real time!!!

The Best Ever

remember this openning game of the nba! miami vs bulls 1996. how time flies. now i'm 37. good old days!

I learned how to play basketball by watching MJ
