His ability to read, react, execute during hangtime is simply unparalleled.

he was in the air, twisted his body when challenged, changed directions, how was that even possible, this dude never ceases to amaze me

I don't need to be in Jordan's era just by watching this I can tell he is the GOAT.

I remember watching MJ, the great Bob Costas once said "Lots of guys are strong and lots of guys have skill, but only one guy has this level of artistry" MJ wasn't a BBALL player, he was a artist painting his masterpiece. Poetry in motion. I'm truly blessed to be able to say I watched this guy from North Carolina become probably the most famous human alive.

Never again will there be an athlete like him. Comparisons are really for entertainment purposes. Deep down inside everyone know he's the best.

Jordan was a once in a sport athlete. He was and always be Mr. Basketball. Quite possibly the greatest athlete in human history. For those of us who lived and witnessed the Jordan era, we are blessed...

#1 is for me, the greatest move in the history of the game. Its matrix type shit. Everytime I see it I still can't believe it.I miss MJ. The excitement of knowing that everytime he had the ball you might see something you'll never see again is gone now and the with all the rule changes I just don't enjoy watching the NBA anymore. That's MJs fault,he ruined the game for me!! Now it's just like YAWWWWN.How blessed are those of us who were lucky enough to watch Rembrandt paint his masterpieces every night on the court??!! THANKS MJ,YOUR THE REASON I LOVE THE GAME AND WHY I STARTED PLAYING AS A KID! FOREVER THE GOAT.

This man was literally airwalking. I would see defenders jump AFTER Jordan did and come back down to earth while MJ was still up in the air.

I´m very lucky to have watched this man play this sport. thanks for the memories.

he's quick even in slow motion

That reverse against the Nets was insane!!!!!...I clicked on this video to see where it ranked on here and its #1..I think thats the sickest reverse I ever seen...

LBJ fan here. MJ was just on another level. Best player I've ever seen with my own eyes. 2:42 is just ridiculous.

*When other players jump in the air:* The play is over. *When Jordan jumps in the air:* The play has just begun.

the best basketball player ever in basketball history.

You know your the greatest when your opponents bench is in awe of what you do lol.

Never was a jordan fan. But he is the one and only true King that will ever play in the NBA.

I wish there was a time machine so I can go back in time to watch him all over again! Simply the greatest

The best thing that I love watching, besides the actual highlights of Michael Jordan, are the reactions of the opposing team, especially the guys on the bench

now I see why it was so hard for Jordan to walk away from the game, cause when you got that kind of hangtime it's hard to hang it up.😂😂😂😂

Another amazing collection posted. Jordan was demoralizing going through multiple defenders, drawing fouls and demonstrating unmatched ingenuity, strength and agility. He was and still is unmatched in the NBA.

I've watched 100s of Jordan vids. This is the best! This truly displays the separation between MJ and "all" others.... everyone else is a "distant" 2nd. A true virtuoso (the bball was his instrument), artist, acrobat, magician.....! You are right though, there are so many others of MJ you missed. Most NBA players have 5 memorable plays/moves a year, Jordan had at "least" 2 every game! Glad I lived during the MJ era...I can rest in peace!

#1 is probably the best move in the history of the NBA.

Only player i know that can change directions in mid air. He can make defense swat and miss, not once, not twice but sometimes even 3 times. Them backward layups were incredible, and he did them on a regular without hardly missing. Hell of a hang time. He waited till defense came back down before he would let go of the ball. Freakin Amazing. If this doesnt show how great MJ was, i dont know what will . He really is the GOAT.

There are no comparison, imagine his airness at his peak in the game today, cant think of anyone that could stop him, the only GOAT

MJ is basketball. Basketball is MJ

MJ is like poetry in motion... he´s by far the best player of basketball ever !!

If you go out, and you try to do any of these moves on your own, without any of the contact from another player, you realize just how hard they are. Try doing them in the middle of a game, and that's when you come to the realization, that Michael Jordan wasn't human lol absolutely amazing.

Did you guys notice how many players were involved in every play trying to defend MJ?

We will never see a player with that skills! Unbelievable! The best of all times..

All of these are unbelievably graceful plays...but #1 is just Jordan trolling. Like, that shit isn't even really possible. Might be the greatest move in the history of mankind.

All the reverse moves and shots in the air that players have done..Kobe, Leflop, Vince, T-mac A.I....MJ had done it in 84 when he got in the league. The 🐐

The best thing about watching all these old clips of mj are the reactions of the players on the benches

Why is MJ incomparable to any1 ever play the game of basketball?!..It's the "GRACEFULNESS" of his game!..

Simply, THE BEST EVER. My favorite hang time is # 2 on this list. Second game in the finals 91' down one game and he just switched in mid-air without reason about to dunk but he decided to change hands just because he can. Marvelous! I stopped watching NBA when he retired in 98'.

NO COMPARISON TO ANY BASKETBALL PLAYER BECAUSE HE IS THE GOAT, THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!!

Michael Jordan did that moves among 2-3 bodies (4-6 arms) against the best players of the history. Shaquille Oneal, Koby Briant, Alonzo Mourning, Larry Jhonson, Charles Barkley, Larry Bird, Shawn Kemp, Regie Miller, Gary Payton, Patrick Ewing, Jhon Stark, Latrell Sprewel, Tim Hardaway, Glen Rice, Eddi Jones, Mitch Ritmond, Steve Smith,Glen Robinson, Avri Jhonson, David Robinson, Robert Horry, Hakeem Olajuwon, Chino Cassels, Dell Curry, Chris Webber, AC Green, Karl Malone, Mark Price, Grant Hill, Clyde Drexler, Jamal Mashburn, Jim Jackson, PJ Brown, Glen Robinson, Allan Houston, Antoine Walker, Vin Baker, Nick Van Exel, Chaucey Billups, Ben Wallace, Joe Dumars, Isiah Thomas, John Srockton, Magic Jhonson, Chris Mullin, Antonio Davis, Jeff Hornacek, Derek Fisher, Vlade Divac, Vince Carter, Otis Thorpe, Sam Perkins, Mario Elie, Vernon Maxwell, Kevin Willis, Carl Herrera, Robert Parrish, Kenny Smith, Greg Anthony, Jason Terry, Stacey Augmon, Kenny Anderson, Dennis Scot, Nick Anderson, Kendall Gil, Jason Terry, Peja Stojatovic, Antonio Davis, Alvin Williams, Charles Oakley, Antonio McDyess, Jalen Rose, Chris Mullin, Baron Davis, Stephen Jackson, Allen Iverson, Sam Perkins, Doc Rivers, etc etc etc. LEBRON JAMES BEATS ROCKIES (UNKNOWN PLAYERS) ONLY. NBA ITS BORING ACTUALLY

12, 7, 6 are just............damn. 1 is insane I've just seen it so many times. Never seen anything like it. GOAT and it ain't even close.

I love it. On some plays he didn't even get hit and yet, he got the foul, but on others he got totally annihilated in the air and still made the basket. Just look at number one, he flew on that one.

When god decided he want to create an athlete in his own image he made Michael Jeffery Jordan

MJ's patience and court awareness were 2 of the things that set him apart. Watching him use his amazing hang time to thwart 2 and 3 block attempts before making his actual shot attempt was incredible.

On #1 M.J. made a dude on the nets bench get up like what did I just witness.....lol

Forget about the stats..there's no one who can put the ball in the basket with grace and creativity like Jordan.. There are many great players like today's Lebron, Kobe, Wade etc but no one captures imagination like MJ did... Simply the greatest of them all :)

LeBron is no comparison to His Airness

Jeez...they used to hit people pretty hard going to the basket back in those days

Even with all the moves, youngsters who never witnessed him play don't understand how dominant he was! The closest to a guaranteed win in any sport was MJ in the playoffs! Even with everyone knowing he'd take the game winning shot, he still hit it every time! He was just incredible!

LOL! @ #1. No matter how many times i see that move, i still can't believe it!

I was glad to see his shot against the Nets as your number one. It might be the best basketball play I've ever seen. Hanging, avoiding three defenders all while moving from one side of the basket to the other... simply amazing. The reaction by the Nets bench is priceless. Even his opponents could not believe the plays he made.

Hoops was so much more physical back then. Like 90% of these were hard fouls. Those Knicks and Pistons teams were brutal but MJ still totally owned them.

this just show how MJ's career is so good, he has the stats, records and rings to be GOAT and at the same time these..

lol @ #1, even opponent bench players drop their jaws and cant believe what they saw! GOAT!

The greatest ahtlete of all time, thank you for the memories.

I never get tired watching the opposing teams bench reactions 😁😁😁

I love the guy's reaction on the bench for the Nets, classic!

Didn’t even have to see #1 to know what it was … knew it already. The most amazing play in the NBA ever

Today’s stars rarely go to the basket anymore. MJ went against toughest defenders in all of 82 games without any load management crap.

In air body control is unmatched. It's like he was playing in slow motion while in the air AFTER getting fouled

Look up the artistry of Michael Jordan. It has some sick moves as well. U could actually do a top 1000 hangtime vid of Mike & it would still go hard af. I saw him do a crazy layup against GS that I've never even seen on any highlight & it was just as sick as most of these. & all this from the same guy who hit 6 consecutive game winning/tying shots in the finals & won 6 rings while leading the league in scoring all 6x. GOAT w/o question

I had my share of doubts about if Kobe Bryant is better as a basketball player, until I saw some of Michael Jordan's 2X3-peat and Wizards videos. Air Jordan is freak of nature, and GOAT, let them fight for the second place

The ability to read a situation,react to it,adjust to the defences' adjustement,go to plan B,C,D on 1 play at game speed is unlike any other human I know(.

The amount of english he generated on those Bballs was epic. And the way he could adjust and change his shot in mid air 😱 God was he special.

Really enjoyed watching!! Thank you so much!!

he's literally jumping before the defenders and landing AFTER them

When i was at high school, i tried to imitate the no. 1 move. Alot of kids back then wanted to be like mike. After the 20th attempt i came to my senses and realized that this is a god's move.. lol! Btw that if that no. 4 play happened in todays game, the offensive player will hold his head, lie down for 2 min and act like he's badly hurt, then the refs will review the scene over and over and rule a flagrant 1. smh...

You sir, know your stuff. That #1 play is imo the greatest play I've seen in a game. No one else in the world could replicate that. Great video.

I swear he just pauses in the air for a moment

i watched him every game i could from north carolina tar heels to the bulls. Ive been watching bball for over 50 yrs. and have seen some great ballplayers. I was a dr. j fan for many yrs. and he was a leaper . I think larry bird was one the smartest ballplayers,fantastic shooter ..A team player,bird could have scored alot more points, he wanted wins and sacrificed that part of the game to get his team involved.Bill Russell and bird alot alike as far as attitude and never give up.Russell ran the floor like no other center,last one i saw that came close was karl malone. Russells defense around the rim was fantastic alot like hakeem olijawon. MJ was i believe the best pound for pound. Great leaper, acrobatic in the air like know one else!!!,great defensive player, a man possessed with gifts from the gods. He was the chief on the floor and he trashed talked but could he back it up! I miss mj alot and i dont think anyones really taken his place,kobe, lebron great ballplayers . There was a magic about mj,never knew from night to night what move he would pull out of the hat..and man do i miss that excitement. I personally think the greatest gifted center of alltime was wilt chamerlain. ,this man at 7foot 2 could leap over 3 feet off the floor,and i mean unstoppable in the paint..They changed the game because of this man..he dunked from free throw line long ago, they made the lane wider to get him away from basket,used to be able to touch the ball in the cylinder above the rim ,of course today cant touch it or its goal tending, the inbounds pass over the backboard made illegal ,because on out of bounds play would have wilt waiting and nobody could stop him from scoring..His rebounding next to none, scored a 100 points and i think if he were playing today could have scored more than a hundred because they didnt have the shot clock back then. He was a mountain of a man,i saw the best men in nba try to guard him ,holding him and he would take then for a ride and dunk it with them hanging on..I watched wilt every chance i got growing up ,i was in awe of this mans strength and jumping ability. Watching him over the yrs., I think wilt actually felt sorry for guys he played against,for him it was easy,and there were times guys would try to block chamberlain dunk and chamberlain could have broke there arms on the rim and he would gently lay it in. This man had the hardest dunks ive ever seen, a bullet to the floor.,watch this guys highlights. This may have been a weakness, if you want to call it that, in chamberlains game..Michael on the other hand was hardcore winner and taunt you when he did it and there lies the difference in number of championships brought home.

His hang time is insane 🔥

Asked once if he could fly MJ. replied: “For a little bit.” He was a master at hangtime. Jordan gave everything for his career including his dad. He was, is, and will always be the GOAT.

The way he switches his body in mid air on number 1 is undeniably the best move ever in the history of sports. He moves with such finesse and grace as if heaven sent. #thereisnootherthanMJ

If Jordans dad didn't get murdered he would have won 8 straight

Michael's foot work and balance was unreal, But his giant Gloves, his hands, really helped him control the ball well while taking contact in the air.

His attack - turn 180- draw foul and shoot blind from any angle is incredible. Every play with style. No bricks. G.O.A.T no doubt at all.

#48 would be the best play of other players’ careers. And MJ did it regularly.

'til this day, that number one hang time against the Nets, still gives me chills. Even the Nets bench reacted with disarray.

The funny thing about this video there's missing many more stunning plays from his majesty.

I just love the reactions from the opposition’s bench haha

This is why you can't compare anyone else to Jordan. He did the unbelievable consistently throughout his entire career. I've seen Kobe attempt shots like these that would go over the backboard. No one comes close to the artistry and beauty of Michael's game.

Who else guessed #1 b4 it came ? I can't decide between it and Dr J's layup as the best move ever

Not one dunk or clutch shot lol. Simply the GOAT.

Jordan's hangtime is the TRUE definition of time travel.

And ppl saying Kobe is better...you must be smokin

What made it more amazing is Jordan is being pushed & hand checked while on the drive, absorbs lots of contact mid-air and still had the strength and body control to adjust his shots during hang time.

Man that was the best package of Jordan clips I've seen yet! All due respect to lebron but I was around back then he got abused and still couldn't be stopped by far the best ever!

1:47 OMG! The body control it takes to go against the momentum like that make the shot. He almost defied physics! It's like he was going from right to left, but instead paused and with forward.

That number 1 on your list is probably the most awesome move from a long list of awesome moves i've seen from Jordan. Imo the best & most complete Basketball Player the world has seen so far. Really glad that i was in my childhood & teenage years during his carreer. Super influential

The best to ever do it.

That number 1 was so good even the opposing team’s bench was pumped up

When the bench of the opposing team grabs each other and jumps up in excitement when MJ wows with a move.. you know it's special! GOAT.

Exactly the hang time I was expecting on number 1. Great video man. Keep doing more!

All-time greatest

You got #1 right. Probably the coolest move in all of basketball. Even the opposing team came off their seats. Subbed. Only one GOAT.

What truly amazes-and utterly, singularly boggles my mind-me to no end, watching these older highlights (relatively speaking) is how few fouls are called. MJ is getting hacked by myriad defenders-would-be defenders, that is-and nary a whistle is even blown. Amazing stuff!!

It takes a special type of player to pull off some of the things MJ did.. You just can't teach or buy that. Still to this day I haven't seen ONE NBA player pull do what MJ has done in the game.

WOW! What an artistry! #MJTHEGOAT

today's youth and garbage non original retro shoes have pretty much ruined jordan's for me but this video makes me remember how they once made me feel and why they made me feel that way

I always watching jordans game... Here from phillippines. Im your fan!

Sometimes you think that there's Helium instead of Oxygen running through his veins..

Better then LeBron? Is that even a serious question? This man is one of the best, if not the most talented athlete i've ever seen!

Michael Jordan is truly the one and only KING of basketball... No one can ever be like him EVER

Love MJ . Was happy to see him play 2 times in person and watched him growing up . So happy that I was apart of it .
