not gonna lie alot of youngins cant see the details in jordans game, but you seem to appreciate the finer details

It's refreshing to see a young fella such as yourself not only enjoying but taken notice of the many facets of MJ'S game. You got a taste of what we witnessed every nite watching MJ play. He was just build differently than anybody before or since. Other than Kobe the closes was the Dr. who MJ emulated & took it to the next level. The physicality of the defense that Jordan had to overcome every nite to be the dominant player of his era. His skill set & superior mentality is what set him apart from everyone else in the history of the game. Also if you are looking for more defensive highlights of MJ then check out Michael Jordan Predator or Best Defender video.

On the topic of the guy Jordan was toying with... its not that the guy was bad. He was too small. Jordan was too quick for the other players his size so teams would put smaller quick guys on him but he'd do that to them bc his wingspan was so insane. And it's not that the players these days are more talented...its just they're talented in different ways. Rodman for example was very talented but he was just talented in a different skillset than what's required today.

Watch Michael Jordan: One of the best defenders ever. After watching all these videos of Michael Jordan is why I say and always will say until the day I die Michael Jordan is and always will be the G.O.A.T

That's because he knew he was better than his competition, and was smart enough to know he could beat them with his athleticism, that's why you saw Chuck Daly's expression on his face after Jordan made the shot when he was fouled!!

Every highlight has 8 people in the paint. Picture Mj in todays league where its 1 move at the 3pt line and its a wide open to the basket. I'm glad he played back then even though I didn't get to watch. I don't think we would of seen all these incredible adjustments he had to make at the rim and in the paint. As a lebron fan I just don't see him make maneuvering through the paint. He puts his head down and goes in a straight line which works great in this era. Hes got no actual consistent post up moves, can't shoot. If you take the drives to the rim and put backs away what's he really got? You gotta get into some single game highlights where you realize that he did this type of stuff every other play. Check out the 1991 finals game where his did that switch hand layup which was his 13th consecutive field goal kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fbyGaale2rWyfKc.html

MJ 🐐

That plumber you referred to in the beginning, name is mark price. I suggest you look him up. Many guards then would kill this Era. They had all the skills. They could shoot, pass, dribble, and as I've said many times before, they played like their lives depended on it, unlike this soft, weak cupcake era. All facts last thing what youngsters don't understand is that jordan made anyone and everyone look like plumbers and would do the same now. GOAT

Micheal jordan is the Golden Goat them other dudes is just regular goats good vid my bro

Watching jordan play is like watching Picasso paint a work of art😊😊😊😊

At least this young one Respects Greatness 💯

Great reaction! Awesome seeing the young generation appreciating the goat 🐐

Jordan was unreal

my man. Thanks for keeping your word. Now watch part 2!!! also peep MJ best defender ever and MJ post-up powerhouse. You're almost converted, lol.

Jordan's ability to create space was extraordinary

Great Reaction young Man.. I like the fact how u pay attention to the fundamentals and details of the game. You're absolutely right a lot of the kids today don't grasp that concept.. A good video u need to react to is who had the greatest Individual season ever.....

I like this younsta very detailed

Michael was just a beauty to watch I wish you guys had the opportunity to have seen him play

Oh you reacted to this video . Great reaction

Its not that theres more talent now, its that theres more guys who can do flashy moves/crowd pleasing stuff. I do understand what you mean by that though, and its really nice seeing a young kid appreciate what MJ was doing. He was a once in an existance player, no one will ever be able to do what he did all combined together as he did it. Some guys can almost match one aspect, but they dont have that whole package in one person like MJ was.

I never ever ever comment…. But this kid fugging gets it. This video he sourced this from honestly made me have one of the best games I’ve had since I was 22. I’m an old man, this collaboration made me remember how great I was back when…. I’ve played Kobe ❤ (R.I.P.) …. I’ve played against some great NBA players… MJ is absolutely the goat. This “old head” apprentices it.

Loving your videos my Brudah. Keep up the good work.

Young brother, what you are seeing on this video is what we saw LIVE in Chicago Stadium/United Center. This is why us "old heads" have a difficult time accepting James as the GOAT. We have already witnessed greatness. He made the game look effortless. That player he was holding the ball from was Wally Szczerbiak. He was a middle of the road player, but not a plumber. MJ just MAKES those guys look like plumbers. Even Dumars would tell you that you will react to Jordan's every movement, because he is liable to do some to you, or on you. More talent? Um, that is debatable. They would still get that work from old school dogs because they lack key fundamentals. Kareem would Skyhook these kids to death. Only Wilt was ever able to block it. Bird would talk shit and tell them what he was going to do and then DO IT. Who is strong enough to handle Shaq, Wilt, Gilmore, Thurmond, or even Kemp? I could list here for days.

I promise Jordan putting up 40 a game in todays NBA. If u watch closely all of these shots are toughly contested he had to do these move’s because how hard the defense played each and every game all game. Ppl be tripping when they say the defense was soft or not like todays🤣 it was harder back than look at them contesting these shots as hard as they can on almost every play. Great vid btw!!💯

Love it bro!! Good luck in college!!

😉🧐Glad to hear that!!🎓👌🏾

You’re watching Greatness young fella The Goat

The guy Jordan was toying with was four-time All-Star and All-NBA player Mark Price. He finished his career with a 90.4% free throw shooting percentage and a 40% three-point field goal shooting percentage. He was just too short compared to Jordan. Very underrated point guard.

Thank you young man for noticing everything of MJ foot work defense offense and everything that gets to know the game and a special player. And the real GOAT MJ was just different and on other level period

If Bron had more killer mentality to just dominate in scoring and defense every single game instead of taking plays off and standing around, his career would be shorter but at his peak would be a more athletic version of Tracy McGrady. Most likely would have stayed around the 230 range too and not get up to 250+. All that extra muscle made him a bulldozer to the rim but also made it harder to shoot.

I love it when youngsters say "what am i watching?" Youre watching Black Jesus

The one thing that alot of people dont mention about jordan is his footwork...it was simply elite. You should try to find vids of when mj was asked to play point guard for a few weeks. He basically averaged a triple double 🤷

Jordan can palm a pumpkin

Agree before it was more physical now is more talent but MJ had both he was ahead of his time in terms of athletism

I’ve never seen essential jordan KZfaq channel and he has all the games by years…highlights

Watch( Jordan best defender ever) my man that video is the best defender video I ever watch... hands down my brother

Having observed the likes of Jordan, Kobe, and LeBron, here's some perspective. Many, including Nick Wright, argue LeBron is the superior athlete. While LeBron might fit the mold of an NFL tight end, let's talk basketball specifics. Michael Jordan stood at 6'6", boasted a 4.3-second 40-yard dash, and shared the record for the highest vertical leap in NBA history at 48". While other players have matched that 48" leap, none have surpassed it. In comparison, Kobe had a 38" vertical and LeBron's was 40". Jordan's exceptional hand size further sets him apart. When evaluating pure athleticism in basketball, one could argue Jordan stands at the pinnacle. Describing their playstyles, think of LeBron as a freight train, Kobe as an F-15 fighter jet, and Jordan as the advanced F-22. It's not my intention to sway your opinion, but rather to present lesser-discussed facts. Strip away Jordan's name, and you're left with a player profile: 6'6", 215 lbs, 4.3 40-yard dash, 48" vertical, substantial hand size, coupled with an unmatched work ethic both on and off the court. Given these attributes in an NBA or NFL scouting report, he'd likely be a top 3 pick without a second thought.

He's doing that to your generation, too young boy!!!

3:40 That "so-called" plumber was John Stockton. who by the way is the career leader in Steals and assists. Jordan did a lot of players dirty like that during his career.

NCAA championship, 2 time ncaa player of the year, NBA rookie of the year, 6- 0 in finals championships w/ 2- three peats in 8 yrs. and only reason it wasn't 8 in a row,he played baseball 1 yr 1/2, never had to play a game 7, 6 -finals MVP, 5 regular season MVP, defensive player of the year title, 10 scoring titles, 3-steals titles, 3 -all star MVP, 2- slam dunk titles, 2- olympic gold medals championships, hardest worker in the game, no weaknesses, most clutch and buzzer beaters when games on the line, etc,etc,etc...all what lebron wishes he'll be when he grows up. LeBron's been in twice as long as Jordan was and still hasn't come close to his accomplishments...... what is the debate

here's a funny/amazing stat...even though the Detroit "Bad Boy" Pistons beat the living daylights out of MJ back in the 80s and 90s, MJ still averaged 37.5 pts per game!! (according to Isiah Thomas who played in all of those beat down games against MJ, Isiah said in an interview, "...and sometimes MJ would get hot!" (meaning that MJ would score more than 37) ...it's just ridiculous to know that MJ had to endure that same kind of physical punishment every year from the Pistons, Knicks, Pacers, Magic, Heat, and Cavaliers throughout the playoffs...then get it from the Western Conference teams in the Finals...MJ definitely gave new meaning to the word 'extra-terrestrial' and 'UAP/UFO' unidentified aerial phenomena/unidentified flying object...(which makes my brain hurt knowing that in spite of the constant punishment during his years with the Bulls, MJ was able to lead the NBA in scoring 10 consecutive seasons, make the All-Defensive 1st Team 9x, lead the NBA in Steals and Blocks 3x, and win Defensive Player of the Year during that stretch of abuse...MJ wasn't just mentally tough, but physically tough as well, which explains how he was able to play in ALL 82 regular season games in 8 years with the Bulls and 1x at age 40 with the Wizards...MJ doing what only the G.O.A.T. can do..👽💯💥✌

Now you should check out the abbreviated full games from his rookie season. He played with some bums and raised their level of okay. He had like 150 points his first few games. He led the team in steals, rebounds, assists points, free throw percentage of and blocks.

23 used to jump a lot higher but decided to lower his jumps because he used to hit his head on the backboard! 23 ALL DAY!!!😇

The type of athlete Jordan was doesn't need to be talked about because everyone already knows this unless you are too young to have seen it which is why we think people are out of their mind when they suggest someone else is better. We've seen MJ and we can see the current players. There's no comparison. If Jordan played today, he would still be ahead of his time and he would score way more points with today's defense and spacing. No one plays like this. His athleticism and skills are still unmatched.

You talk about how high he jumps. That's why they called him Air Jordan

Try this one. Michael "AIR" Jordan - Original Career Documentary

The pushoff wasn’t a pushoff back then. Go back and Byron russels hands. His hands were all up in Jordan’s torso. The game was different back then

Video quality isn't bad on your end, the video quality back then was still trying to progress from black and white.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

that "plumber" was mark price🤦🏻🤣

Only thing about that Video is I hate when the cut out some parts of MJ making the Shots,it makes it seem like he attempted and missed but thats not the case even when he got blocked and attempted the shot again,he made that shot and same goes for most highlights they cut off MJ completing complicated or impossible looking shot

It's not copyright music...... it was made just for the video

watch a full game of michael! so i never was a jordan fan, but hes the goat.... was always a bird fan and nowitzky

how do you watch this and still see James as the #1? DENIAL! lol. peace. stay at it young blood. good luck in school!

Imagine if no video of Mike existed and someone told you about him FLYING. No one would believe you. Only 2.5 minutes of Wilt exist. LeBron can never be any near them. 48"vertical. Both. 4.3 40 Mike. 4.4 Wilt. 500lbs bench press. Aliens. Wilt. 7'2" . 7'11" wingspan. That equals top of the back board. 72 NBA records still. Watch a few greats and think you are qualified to choose the greatest 😂

Many of these highlights are against strong teams: Detroit, Lakers, Knicks, Indiana, and Celtic. However, Jordan has similar moves in training.

quez bro pls react to MJ's 1993 Game 4 performance against the Knicks! Yea Jordan had high scoring outputs without the 3 but this game will show you what happens if Jordan does decide to take you out from deep. Barely any layups this game for MJ standards and he killed em wit the middy and the 3 ball. Again he wasn't crazy consistent with the three ball, but he isn't a liability out there and this crucial playoff game (i think they were down 2-1) shows why you can't just dare him to shoot. But to be honest most of his shots were contested too so it wasn't even like the Knicks were lackin he just went crazy 😭 love the content bro

u said it. IF Bron had dat in him 1000% he'd be the greatest of all time. great point.

Kobe came closest. He could do almost everything Jordan could. But props goes to the CREATOR, not the COPIER. Lebron had tools to be the GOAT but was a spineless p***** his whole career.

Yes sir. Check out Jordan "one of the best defenders ever "...

You gotta watch when jordan broke the backboard video it was overseas ... funny you said pushoff when they interviewed russell the guy that was gaurding him said it wasn't a push off he barely even felt his hand he said he really thought he was about to drive it and he bit hard and fell for it

I have Labron and Kobe neck and neck. If it is game seven I take Kobe. He was a killer. Jordan is on another level.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aq2JftWUspfPYIk.html Quick 15min doc on “The Jordan Rules” Some context into the literal beatings Detroit gave to MJ. Also, aside from the unprecedented focus of Chuck Daly’s game plan on one single player, this also gives you insight into the overall perception of Jordan in 1989, before he even sniffed an NBA championship

MJ made most of those Shots,the Person that Edited Video the video made it seem like he missed because they didn’t show MJ completing the Shot or Layup

No Push off kid,

Yeah Jordan is 🐐, it never was or will be LeStatpadder. And calling players plumbers is a low key sneaky way of trying to discredit Jordan’s legacy. Everything he did in his time he would do now especially since there’s no defense being played.

Definitely watch more Kobe. Him and Mike cut from the same cloth. Kobe was a mf dog.

I wished these kids would stop saying plumbers. In the 80’s and 90’s there were hall of fammers on every team. Not just one or even two. And they were aloud to play defense back then and dirty defense at that. They could fight sometimes and still be in the game. Now days u can’t breath on anyone. Players today couldn’t hack it back then. I keep hearing it’s fast pace and better there is no way. And the reason it’s faster pace is bc nobody has to worry about defending. They just run from 3 point line to 3 point line and wherever the ball bounces that’s who gets the rebound and they walk every time. They can run and take two steps with dribbling then dribble and then take 4 more steps. Lebron walks Everytime. I e seen him run from half court to shoot a layup and never bounce the ball and then they can carry it in their pocket if they want. Some crazy shit goes on now days. There is no rivalry bc there is no heart or defense taunting or anything we like watching. And players today don’t play but 60 games and team hop and the lebron flops. Who wants to watch that shit

Broooo....check out Johnny Arnett's Goat series... all of them... from Kareem to Kobe to Lebron to Jordan

Bro you said it, if LBJ had that killer mentality like MJ things would be different. I totally agree. But the truth is he doesn’t. Debate over. We can’t go off if he did have it.

Sorry kid MJ is the goat by far

You seem to like MJs fadeaway post moves. You should also watch Hakeem and Kevin McHale’s post moves. They were good at this IMO.

Pumpkin😊

Yeah the video quality of this mixtape is really bad at times, the NBA needs to release the all of this stuff in high definition. Remember, these highlights probably came from people who recorded this on VHS tapes, and by the time they were able to upload it to Yotube those tapes were already old as hell which further degrades the quality.

Lebron can’t compare or compete with Jordan, that’s why Kobe and everyone else wanted to emulate Jordan in everything he did

Kid called price a plumber….sad

where's your making the case for lebron? been lookin forward to it

MJ did that hand palm to Gary Payton too, made him look like a child..quick google will find it

Old heads were not exaggerating when they said the 80-90's were more physical.😅 I remember Bill Laimbeer hard-fouling MJ and the commentator just went "No foul on the play, and of course if you've been around the NBA long enough, you know that no fracture, no foul !" LMAO ! There's a channel called Pure Sweat Basketball that did a series about Jordan's skillset. It's ten 5-10 minutes episodes that go in-depth over every facets of MJ's game from a technical standpoint, from his mid-range and separation moves to his off-ball defense. Whether you wanna react to it or not is up to you, I'm just mentioning it because you seem to love studying the game so I thought you might like it. If I had a kid who wanted to make career in basketball, I'd have him sit down and watch every episode ten times. 😅

If LBJ was a savage it would be crazy. He does things way different though

Remember if it wasn't for mj Lebron would never exist

The kid that you were watching almust at the end with MJ he said in I can take MJ 1 on 1 knowing he plays in bulls bootcamp, MJ knew and came to challenge him to embarrass himself and said, you know where all this 6 flags came from?. Check that video for this rooke.

Watch Michael Jordan best defensive ever

If Jordan in his prime were playing in today's NBA, dude would be averaging 50-60 points per game, *AND* be named defensive player of the year damn-near *EVERY* season! LeFlop ain't got s#¡T on Black Jesus! And he wouldn't be getting all the flack that he(deservedly) gets if he hadn't said "That right there made me the greatest of all time"🙄🤦 Lebron will *NEVER* get the kind of respect that MJ *earned* 20 years from now, some other new modern star of the NBA will be getting compared for G.O.A.T. status. And who is he gonna be compared to as *THE* goat?🤔 #23 MJ🤷 Lebron will just be faded memory as everyone will *still* be talking about Jordan first and foremost.

Youngins denying what they are seeing with their own eyes and still calling Lebron the goat is just stubbornness and immaturity. The one they saw has to be the greatest, because they were there for it. There is no per season or per game stat, metric, achievement, skill set, or award that puts Lebron over Jordan. If Jordan were playing today… getting 10 consecutive scoring titles, 5 MVPs, 6 rings, 6 finals MVPs, DPOY, and 3 steals titles to boot… in front of their own eyes, youngins would be howling how he is the greatest. If Lebron played in the 80s or 90s with exact same accomplishments… he would already be forgotten.

I don’t know how anyone could watch MJ and then watch Lebron or any other player before and after MJ and not say he’s the GOAT. 💩💩 has me 💀💀💀💀😂😂 Lunatics.

Maybe I'm missing out on what you mean by "toughest player"... you mean most difficult to guard, perhaps? The toughest player ever, with regard to physical and mental toughness and playing through injuries, which is how i would use the word "toughest, " is undoubtedly Larry Bird. There are a few videos to check out on that... 5 times Bird was injured but refused to quit is a really good one

The game now is weak and a shell of what basketball truly is. Give me the 80s and 90s anyday

Watch Michael jordans historical mixtape

No push off thats how we played that way because it was that physical trust me he just did in a nba game

How do you quantify that there's more talent today ? What is that notion based on ?

These people that say lebron still the goat after watching these videos only say they're close to calling MJ the goat but not yet they just wanna keep you watching they're videos to see if they're going to change they're mind. After seeing these videos they know MJs the goat they just want you to keep watching until they do. That's smart promotion though

Thank you nephew, to beat the future you gotta study the past. Im 44 and he wasn't even my favorite i just to suck it up and respect it. Do Penny Hardaway(first 4 years before injures) Isaiah Thomas- no hack. No six rings without going to the weight-room to beat 'em. Salute.

How about you watch a whole Jordan-pistons game ? I think the Pistons beat the Bulls literally out of a series and after that they decided to bulk up for the next season after and won their first rings.

If lebron had that jordan or bird in him he would be best ever maybe by a big margin and I'm a jordan fan jordan said imagine him at 6ft 8inch 250 lbs he would be unstoppable today a little jab at lebron but u know what he meant

Watch the video of Jordan about record that can't be broken

Nah it’s not more talent today, that’s something you new dudes need to tell yourselves to feel secure about your place in history. If that was the case then the older players from previous generations wouldn’t be so mad that they never played in a generation like this because they see it as soft and easy.

Que te parece lo que sufría JORDAN!!!!!! ESO LO AGUANTARÍA LEBRÓN ??????😮😮😮 tu como yo sabemos que NOOOOOO,los dos le vemos jugar y NOOO LO DESTROZARIAN 😂😂😂😂😂😂 en NADA SE HACERCA LEBRÓN A JORDAN UNA LEYENDA MUNDIAL, MUNDIAL

PUSH OFF?!?!? You need to watch the last shot again young homie. He was going that way & got his legs broke. MJ didn't have to push off.

MJ’s the Goat. Not even close. LB only played for maybe half his career. Can’t be the/a Goat if that’s the case. And that last shot in Utah was not a push off. Russell was 6’7” 225 lbs and was faked out and lost his balance. MJ barely touching him with his left/weak hand is most definitely not a push off.
