FIRST TIME WATCHING | Michael Jordan's HISTORIC Bulls Mixtape | THE JORDAN VAULT 

I don't think LeBron could handle MJ's era.

Bruh, Jordan was a 3 time all-star, defensive player of the year, MVP, Rookie of the Year and scored 63 points in a playoff game. All in the 3 years before Pippen was drafted. Don't disrespect the GOAT like that.

He’s the Goat Hands Down.. My eyes told me so every time he touched the court . 🌠

I’m from Boston and a Celtics fan but having watched Jordan in real time being in junior high and high school, Jordan is the GOAT. No question. I watched every bulls game back then just to watch Jordan. There will never be another Michael Jordan.

Jordan was the man without Pippen. Have you forgotten old school? Pippen made the team better he didn’t make Jordan better.

This is what the perfect player looks like in the NBA, This video will will be shown for the next 100 years. Michael jeffrey jordan is a gold standard to which basketball is measured by🐐🐐🐐23

1988, my Pistons had arguably the deepest team in history and he almost beat us by himself. Huge a-hole, hate him, but he's the GOAT.

Jordan would be who he is regardless of Pippen in terms of his playing skills, competitive mindset & killer instincts. Did he need another great player to get to the next level in terms of winning championships, yes he did. But Jordan pushed Pippen & the rest of the Bulls to be better than they were.

I can’t believe I’m 50 years old and still amazed by MJ. I bought the ‘88 Jordan’s brand new (we didn’t say that 1s, 2s, or 3s nonsense) and I still have them. The 1987-88 season was the year to watch Michael Jordan - before he really had a team because he was going off. Thanks for being a fan, Bro!

I was 15 when MJ played my Lakers in his first finals. I was a Magic fan and even tried to play like Magic, but when MJ flew through the air and switch hands on that famous lay up. I said to myself that is the BLUE PRINT I'm following. I still love Magic, but MJ was like a Superhero at that moment because when He beat the Lakers I wasn't even mad.

I’m 49. MJ was my childhood. Saw him 3 times in person.

Forget the stats, forget the highlights, look at the ratings and you will find the GOAT. It's not up for debate. I knew he was the guy when I realized this guy would never let the fans down in big games.

No disrespect to Kobe or LeBron but Michael Jordan was filling all stadiums he played in even the buster teams on East and West standing room only.

He was that guy without pip .pip was just the robin .every super hero needs a sidekick

1992, i saw Michaels "come fly with me" on VHS tape... that started my love of bball, btw that triple clutch move against the nets (9.32)... someone said he was eurostepping in the air... lols

I come from Germany and back then basketball was completely unknown. There were always a few names in the media. Bird, Magic. Then Jordan came along and people became fans and got up at night to watch games on TV channels that were only available in poor quality. His comeback was even big in the mainstream news. Every kid with a basketball had his tongue hanging out when he played.

born in 79, i knew Jordan was a great watching him, but when he came back for his 2nd 3peat i realized how much i missed watching him play. that 2nd 3 peat was the time i saw not a great player but the goat.

1993 Bulls vs Suns. I was 13. First finals I watched. I have been a huge NBA fan since. There has never been or will ever be another MJ.

I'm a huge Knicks fan from the 90s and I absolutely hated MJ back then. But you cannot deny MJs greatness; he proved it over and over. Physical ability meets Elite BBall IQ meets the iron will to win. When he 'retired' for 2 seasons people forgot. It was Hakeem, Reggie, Malone, Ewing, Barkley, Shaq, Payton. As soon as he returned everyone remembered how great he was, and he cemented his legacy.

I knew he was going to be the greatest player in NBA history. I seen this play at The University of North Carolina. Because UNC fans always thought like this.

i use to play baseball but when i saw him played magic in 1991 then i became his biggest fan

when i was growing up, a kid in the 80s, my first major sports event i remember was the celtics lakers nba finals. My whole family, grand parents, uncles, cousins, aunts all gathered around a crappy little CRT with rabbit ears glued to the tv watching those two go at it in the 84 finals. A series that would go 7 games and i remember everyone watching it. It ignited a deep passion in me as a kid for all things sports, not just basketball, I would play tball then little league, then high school base ball, i would play basketball, until i stopped growing at just 6', and frankly i knew that was it for me (I was a varsity player though), I would play Ice Hockey and LeCross and Soccer and Football. eventually playing football in college. My passion for the NBA was the real deal though, and I actually didn't really like Jordan for the first few years of his carrier. I thought he was a selfish me first player who couldn't play team ball... but by the... 89 or 90 season that had changed and changed big time. Phil Jackson had got him to buy into the team first approach, he became much more efficient, he had polished his midrange and post game, even developed that fadeaway that was legit unguardable, and just elevated from "mortal bb superstar" to "demigod." No player has been able to reach that level in my eyes... oh some players could scrape at it for a season or playoff run... Kobe was a wonderful mini-me version of jordan (jordan lite) and frankly, that's a compliment, not an insult... he's the closest we've seen to jordan since jordan. I think i was all in on jordan during game 2 of his first finals series against the lakers... he want on a 10-0 streak of hit shots punctuated by the "move" and just ripped the soul out of the lakers. I was in awe of him in the 91 finals when he went 6-0 on threes in the first quarter of game 2 i think? i still remember being glued to that series; the 92 series against the suns was when i knew i was watching an all timer, and he had become must watch tv... I will never forget the 2nd 3 peat. I was never a bulls fan, Celtics my whole life (no one was a knicks fan in buffalo ny. lol, little known bit of trivia for you, the buffalo braves and celtics traded teams in the 1979 off season... well it was more complicated than that but it was weird to say the least with what was carrying the name of the braves going to san diego to become the clippers... before they moved to LA like the chargers... so most buffalo braves fans just became celtics fans.) but i was a jordan fan. and as i said, he was must watch tv every night.

As a kid during MJ's early years, he inspired me to play and I tried to pattern everything on his game; the fakes, the reverses, the turnarounds... of course I didn't have the height or athleticism, but I tried to have that strong competitive nature... but of course MJ was on another level again.

I knew he special from his college days to the end of his career. He transformed the game, and he took it to another level. In today's game with no hands check and him in is his prime. He would easily average 70 points per game. He had no flaws in his game, and had a killer instinct. He could shoot from any part of the floor if he wanted to at any given time. When they said he couldn't play defense he proved them wrong. When they said he the 3 pointer he proved them wrong. When they said he couldn t dribble the ball he proved them wrong. When they said he couldn't pass he proved them wrong. They said he couldn't rebound, and he proved them wrong.They said could shoot and score from any part of the floor. and he proved them wrong. Let me say he is the best, and LeBron could play until he's 65 years, and still can't come close to him. Summarize He did it all with class, style, grits, and didn't copy anybody game. Today everybody wants to be like Mike including me😂❤.

From Chi-Town. I watched him play in person and on tv. It's the way he made you feel. It was sooooo exciting!!!! MJ...The GOAT PERIOD!!!!!

dude, im a 48 year old white dude & an old rock roller & musician, & im not even a sports fan per se (except for tennis) & a cigarette smoker of 31 years.....u give me a ball & *i* think im micheal jordan, lol....man, as early as the late 80's, EVERYBODY knew & loved this man, it pretty much didnt matter who u were...MJ was & is a first class legend, an icon, and always *will* be...at least to my generation...it didnt matter if u followed , or liked basketball or not, everyone knew & loved MJ

So I was born here in the US but moved to Mexico in 84, I got a little glimpse before leaving during the 84 Olympics but was too young to notice. But I'm 89 or so, while in Junior High in Mexico, we didn't get those games there, but my mother sent me "Come Fly with Me" on VHS. I watched that and immediately stopped playing soccer and got into basketball. Everything I did was trying to emulate Michael and that immediately made me the best player in my home town and the area. No one was ready for it. Obviously I am not MJ, don't have his size but I am athletic and was able to do a lot of the layips and reverse layups. Learned to drive to the basket with abandon and pull up on people for mid jumpers after driving hard . He is the one and only reason I played basketball 🏀

The late 80’s. He was in every aspect of life back then. Never experienced anything like it since

Physics and gravity tell you that Michael didn't stay in the air longer than everyone else. What made him different is that most people shoot on the way up. He could shoot either at the apex of his jump, or even on the way down, as the defender was also coming down.

MJ is that best .He came to play, and he gave all he had

The best reaction videos out!! Keep doing your thing! Big up NYC!

Will always remember watching a regular season game in ‘86 (I was 14) with my two best friends and telling them, “we have to stop and appreciate, we’re watching Babe Ruth and we’ll be telling our grandkids about him”. And that’s 4 years before his 1st championship. Without seeing him game in and game out, it’s hard to imagine a guy being so much better than anyone before or since. But it’s true…Kobe, LeBron etc are all time greats…and they don’t sniff Mike. Sorry, forgot to add, I was and still am, a die hard Knicks fan.

I first remembered watching basketball and seeing Pistons vs Lakers. I was instant Isiah fan bcuz of his size. I was instant fan of Magic and his Magical play. But boyy i remember seeing this guy in Red my fav color for first time around 88-89 im guessing and it was OVER. Everybody took a backseat forevermore

MJ just moved different. GOAT.

You'd sit there watching any and every game he played going "wow". That's why everyone on the planet watched.

My favourite quote from the goat " to be the best you have to work the hardest "

😲🙄😁😂😂😂The sound effects are spot on bruh!!😉👌🏾

Im enjoying dude so funny😂nice reaction video😂

I was a big NBA and college fan since 1967. It was John Havlacek, and Bill Russel. And eventually Magic and Bird came to own the league and take it to new popularity. And as soon as i saw MJ i it was obvious he was special. If i ever saw that the bulls were on WGN i always tuned in and if it was the forth quarter i had to stay and watch...because early on the bulls sucked and were typically behind a lot, so if it was fourth quarter and the bulls were down you KNEW you were about to see something unbelievable.

I’m 46 years old grew up in Chicago I’m going to 1986 was into Air Jordan besides Gi Joe and Transformers he was my hero , nobody plays the baseline like Air Jordan. He will was be cold as hell to me 🥰😎🥶

Bird is the one who called Jordan Black Jesus.

i saw jordan when i was13 years old, im from Spain and we only had one tv channel where you could see one NBA game, at 2 or 3 AM, seeing him that way was priceless.

I starting watching NBA since the early 80's.... Jordan took over and still is the GOAT! The Hands, The Tongue...the Legacy... and I'm not even talking about his Mentals, Skills on both sides of the court...

The playoffs in the 90s were when I witnessed the GOAT. Back in the day, I could only get Chicago games during the playoffs on TV where I lived (Quebec, Canada). I was in my early teens and would head out to the courts for hours and hours after every game.

I was 7 when MJ was drafted to the Bulls. Had the pleasure of seeing games live as I grew up. The highlights you see doesn't do his artistry justice. We all know that the game, no...every game of every sport evolves, but if you were there in the 80's and 90's, you were blessed. No one today has the footwork, the handles, the tireless effort to making they mid-range perfect, to play all 82 games on both offense AND defensive end. We had the best era...

Everyone needs a sidekick. No player wins without help. But we saw what happened when Jordan left and then came back.

Jordan was that guy before Pippen. Infact, Jordan was that guy his rookie season.

I was home on leave from the Navy in February 1985. My Grandmother had two tickets to see the Bulls. She gave them to me and my brother in law. We saw the Bulls and Michael Jordan at Chicago Stadium the first game back from the All Star Break. Bulls beat the Piston in overtime. What a game, what a player. That's when I became a life long fan.

Jordan and Pippen complimented each other.

My younger brothers friend "Dwight Sicobo" went to New York in 1991/92 & came bk to London with 3 or 4 vhs tapes of MJ & my entire school was literally in line to sell there mum to borrow that shit.🙋🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️💯

My man, MJ was MJ long before Pippen showed up. Pippen was drafted in 1987 and proceeded to average 7.9 ppg off the bench. In that year alone, Jordan was the scoring champ at 37.1 ppg, MVP, DPOY, and all-star game MVP. By the time Pippen showed up, he had already been Rookie of the Year, 1st-team All-NBA twice, 2nd-team All-NBA (as a rookie), made 4 all-star teams, and was All-NBA Defense 1st-team once. He had also been scoring champion twice. Jordan's scoring numbers actually dropped after Pippen and Grant showed up.

I grew up with Mike in the 90's I didnt see him in the 80's. You're right, he made me pick up ball go parks and get it in!!!! lol

i saw him at united center when he was on the Washington wizards..i saw grown men cry as we said goodbye to our goat of chicago the king of the bulls

Jordan was listed as 6'6". I have stood next to the man. He's closer to 6'4", which makes what he did even more impressive. And as an aside, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird were both listed at 6'9". Bird is close to 2 inches taller than Magic; it's easy to see since there is tons of footage of them standing together.

i was 6 or 7, born and raised in chicago, got to be alive and watch magic happen in the nba, such a great time to be a basketball fan. Everyone watched, and i mean everyone, entire blocks would be cheering and yelling out the windows.

In 1990 as a teenager, I had a 4th row ticket behind the Bulls bench in the Seattle Coliseum. He's listed 6ft6, but I stood floor level a few feet away from him and he is not even 6ft5. He was the most athletic human being I've ever seen. His first step and leaping ability completely blew my mind.

I was a young kid in Iceland in the 90's, Jordan was so amazing that I will forever consider him the greatest athlete of all time and I will rock Jordan gear in any sport I play to this day. People don't have to agree but talk shit about him is fighting words to me to this day.

MJ was great as a rookie. Pippen didn’t make nothing. He played his role well.

I knew it when I watched him play the Pistons. Being a major Pistons fan, I just couldn't deny it....at nine years old I knew I was watching greatness. The music to this mix is dope as well.

I was influenced when I went to a Piston and Bulls game in 89 in Detroit

Jordan influenced my life, and i dont even play basketball for a team. he taught me to give it your best no matter what and do it every day

I was in the seventh grade 1996 and the Bulls were killing it in the league. That Chrismas all I wanted was the Bulls starter jacket and my parents got it everybody wore those starter jackets to school with their teams on them and most had the Bulls. That's when I fell in love with MJ and watching Basketball every since.

I was a first graded when The Bulls won there first title against the Lakers. That series was my first time even hearing about basketball and basketball became my life for over 20 years.

The 1992 ECSF Knicks vs Bulls is my favorite playoff series of all-time because it was so PHYSICAL. The crowds were amazing. It was so hard to score. That was grind-it-out, street fight-type basketball.

Born in 87 so I was able to see his championship career and wizards career thought he was going to play till he was 45. Even though space Jam happened after he came back I wished that he came back because of Bugs bunny. Mj goat lebron in my top 25 he’s at 21.

I remember seeing MJ from 90 till 03 the things he could do still shock me today Washington years he was only scoring 20 points a game but still winning games and got 30000 points with the Wizards. Scottie was only a puppy MJ turned him in to that great that he was MJ Molded him to be great. Just like LeBron going to the Heat changed him to be greater and smarter then what he was.

"the greatest basketball player of all time, hands down" (u AINT NEVER LIE)

His highlights are so long you get bored…… and at the same time remember he is the greatest player ever in any sport and it’s not close!!!

At the 8 min mark where you said MJ was nothing without Pip, everything you saw before that point was without Pip. 3 scoring titles, MVP, ROTY, DPOY, multiple all time defensive team... Without Pip MJ is Luka. An AMAZING player, just ringless

1984 Jordan showed you as a rookie he was that dude for me

He was a ROOKIE saying he gonna start from the BOTTOM and WORK my way up..not jump from TEAM to TEAM and SUPER STACK😩😩

The goat forever timeless

The first time he played. Watching him was inspiration to got out and be the best u can be.

I watched the game when he won the NCAA title for his University of North Carolina Tar Heels in 1982. I knew right then (along with a lot of other people) that he was going to be a basketball god.

I’m 35 I’m a bulls fan that lives in kali seen Kobe his whole career with shaq but witnessing Jordan at the age of of 7 in his prime Jordan bulls fan for life

i was 17 yrs old when i knew jordans amazing things on basketball. he's my GOAT.

The thing that’s funny to me about Jordan having pippen is that people forget that Jordan was dominating the league b4 pippen. Yes he couldn’t have won without pippen but Pipp was drafted he wasn’t a star coming in the league. He averaged 8 pts his first year 13pts year two while Jordan was averaging 33-37pts.. People making it a big deal like Jordan left the bulls to join forces pip was a young developed overtime great player. Jordan was playing against 4 5 6 HOF’s on one team. So it should be a credit to have a drafted teammate unlike niggas joining forces to win that’s a big difference….

I'm a 5'7 little white boy who can't ball. Always loved ball. 46yr old. MJ, he ain't of this Earth y'all. Dude is pinnacle. God like y'all.

He inspired me to play basketball thought I was good enough in middle school got cut last day of tryouts found out later that the coach had favorites. Was a good defender. I still remember when the farthest we could guard someone was 1 basketball length no one now plays defense you try and you get fouls really sad.

Jordan was that guy without ANYONE. Saw it with my own eyes. Kids these days.

Jordan WAS THAT GUY without Pippen!!! Jordan brought Pip along the same way you see Jordan Bring Scott Burrell along in the Last Dance. Pippen, credit given to him, accepted the challenge and learned how to get better and expand his overall game in the early years with Chicago...dont let the haters today fool you Jordan was cooking teams in everyway before Pip got there...what Pips presence did was allow Jordan to have another skilled player he could depend on for the most part most nights. Lets not forget Pippens migraine that cost the Bulls the eastern conference finals the year before their first chip...and even during the last dance he was injured but did an admirable job as a decoy on the floor. Remember Jordan playing with the Wizards? He had no Pip and guess what...HE WAS STILL THAT GUY!!!

All of us that grew up in the 90s no matter what sport he should us how to believe in yourself and that anything was possible because we saw it with our own eyes and I think I can speak for everyone we will never forget!!!

I saw him LIVE when all of this was happening.

I go back to him in college. He was just that magical and I am that old

1988 so they accused MJ of not playing defence what was argument didn't complain very next won Best Defence player of the year. Proved everyone wrong. For Lebron fans when u think #23 u think MJ not Lebron Kobe wore #24 out Respect for MJ

MJ WAS that guy before Pippen … Pippen sucked his first several years while MJ was getting scoring titles, steal titles and a DPOY award. Oh yea he also scored a record 63 on Larry’s HOF stacked Celtics in the playoffs before Pippen was an allstar - a record STILL held to this day! Now it DOES take some help to win championships bc this is a team sport. Pippen was that help MJ needed. Pippen wasn’t even an allstar in 91 when they won their first championship. But after that, Pippen was the only allstar in the same season MJ played with while winning 5 more titles, 6 Finals MVPS, no game 7s in the finals and Pippen didn’t help much in the 98 finals bc his back was shot. (Missed an entire game in that series bc of it) MJ was always the man since his rookie season. 🐐🐐🐐

MJ MADE PIPPIEN,HARPER,LONGLEY,KERR,PAXON,WENNINGTON,KOKUC AND RODMAN A SUPERSTAR...LEFLOP COMBINED WITH THE SUPERSTAR TO BECOME A SUPER TEAM...

I was 12-13 when I saw him do that first dunk in the film against my Milwaukee Bucks…..it was at that moment it all changed for me.

Jordan was that guy without pipen. He was wrecking the leauge before pipen.

To this day still a Bulls fan. They may not be #1 but I’m not a ship shopper .. been a Bulls fan and I’m from California . . Mike caught my attention when he was playing for NC .. history since ..

I’m 50 from Chicago.. My parents moved to MEMPHIS THATS WHY WE GOT CABLE!

I'm a 67 year old white dude: 1. Jordan (saw him in 96') 2. Wilt (saw him in 67') 3. Russell 4. Kareem 5. Lebron

I watched Jordan play in the 90s but I was so young I didn't appreciate what I was seeing I became a big nba fan during the kobe/shaq vs AI days eventually I was convinced kobe was the best but due to espn classic and eventually youtube I had to concede MJ is the one and the old heads were right and I still think KOBE > LEBRON and MJ > everyone

First seen him at north carolina. Then the hometown Chicago Bulls drafted him in 84. I was going on 14yrs old. And the rest is history. My dad used to take me to games. It was amazing watching this guy play. Ans not watching clips.

With Jordan the Bulls won 3 in a row. He left to play baseball and they were just another team. Jordan came back and they won 3 straight AGAIN. JORDAN WAS THE DIFFERENCE. he made Pippen and everyone else step up.

Yo bruv… I played BBall at high school in Australia 14yo ‘88 & never stopped.

OG from Chicago here. Let me clear things up; Jordan would STILL be Jordan bruh. He just wouldn't have as many rings without him. If we go with your philosophy, NO NBA PLAYER would be who they are without their sidekick(Kobe-Shaq? Stockton-Malone? Magic-Kareem?) It's a team sport. Wilt Chamberlain proved that no matter how dominant you are, you still need a supporting cast.

This my knocks on the jordan bron argument, why do none of the stars today do the dunk contest? The point that stuff???? They wonder why the all star weekend ain’t as big?!?!?! But that is one my things he never did any this he should have and really put his full talent on display!!!! Without the dunk contest there is no jumpman emblem!! Then there’s just the way they played, when you watch Jordan you know he’s trying to kill em, he’s trying to honestly make them rethink their life choices, sometimes it’s like bron don’t care. Then the biggest the rings are what matter not the stats!!! Does Brady hold all the records or the list rings??? And do you not say he’s the best??? Exactly Jordan’s the best I’m sorry

The first game I saw him play...

Jordan was literally being called God by the best in the game before Pippen ever touched an NBA court. Needless to say.....DISAGREE!
