Lebron fan reacts to Michael Jordan's HISTORIC Bulls Mixtape | The Jordan Vault 

Michael Jordan is #1 All time.

Jordan can do what every player can do but no player can do all the things Jordan could do, complete package.

This is why those of us who were alive to see it still understand MJ is the GOAT. He literally had no flaws in his game.

The thing that alot of the younger generation doesn't seem to realize, is that this was MJ every 👏 single 👏 night 👏. No plays off. No load management. No resting on defense. No backing down. He WAS thee Apex predator of the league! Players feared him. He had unrivaled determination & killer instinct. Motivated to play every game. Ten scoring titles (NBA record) in an era where physicality was at its highest, 6 Championships, 5 MVPs, 6 Finals MVPs, a Defensive Player of the Year award which was usually given to the big men of that time and countless other benchmark stats that have yet to be broken. A NCAA National Championship and two Olympic Gold Medals. Still the only player in NBA history to win the scoring title, MVP, a Championship, Finals MVP and be named to the All-Defensive 1st team in the same season. He did that 4 times! Nearly every obscure stat has Jordan's name in it. And all of this was done in the Golden Era in effectively 14 seasons. Twelve seasons if we only look at his Bulls years. Eleven if we take out the majority of his second season that he lost due to a foot injury, which was the season he came back at the end and dropped 63pts in the Boston Garden in the Playoffs. That is an insane accumulation of accomplishments and stats in such a relatively average length career. Just imagine the accomplishments and stats he could have accumulated had he played 17, 18, 19 or 20 seasons. Just imagine where he would be sitting on the "all-time" lists. How many more titles and points he would have amassed. Imagine if he doesn't retire for two years in his prime or Jerry Krause/Reinsdorf don't kick Phil to the curb, making MJ's decision to retire again that much easier. That Bulls team had the ability to win 8 straight, maybe more. Just imagine how much higher the benchmarks would have been pushed. It's insane to think about. He could have have played 18-20 seasons if the path stayed linear on his career. Also, take this into consideration. LeBron has passed Kareem in season 20. Great accomplishment by any standard of greatness. But that is a longevity stat. You know this, we know this. Kobe, Karl, LeBron and Kareem all sit above Jordan on that scoring list and they all played ruffly 20 seasons or more. All great accomplishments. Now think of this, at 14 seasons respectively, Jordan was way ahead of all 4 of them in points. Jordan was nearly 5000 points ahead of LeBron at that point in their careers - not to mention he was ahead of LeBron in every statistical category other than assists at that point as well. So if you do the math while keeping things in perspective with common sense sprinkled in, Jordan potentially surpasses Kareem in his 17th season given the averages. Years ahead of LeBron. I mean, simply give Jordan back his second season due to injury and the two seasons he retired in his prime, right there is nearly Kareem passing territory. He also most likely catches and surpasses Stockton for steals leader as well. So when you look at it that way, it becomes quite clear that Jordan's career and potential was on a whole other level. Not knocking LeBron or anyone else. Greats are great, no matter the way we look at it. But one guy simply towered over the rest. Perspective tells us that. Luckily I got to see his career unfold. It was a remarkable time to watch basketball. And that isn't just nostalgia talking either. It is just the way it was. Game in and game out. "You are simply the standard by which basketball excellence is measured." - David Stern Great reaction though! I appreciate individuals that respect greatness as a whole.

Anyone with a brain knows Jordan is by far the greatest

mj is by far the most spectaculare player to ever play the game. his skill level is unmached

nobody so far has given the same impact as MJ did... it's been decades since he retired and he's still admired by the world

So thankful to have watched this man through the 80s and 90s. There are no highlight reels, no mixed tapes, no top 50 plays that will ever do true justice to the magnificence of his game. The more you watch the more it’s evident that no one holds a candle to him.

The thing about Michael Jordan is that he had highlights like this almost every single game. Like if you watch full games of him from back then he really was like this damn near every night. He had an inhuman amount of energy.

As a 90's Lakers kid, nobody will ever be better than Jordan. It was something else to see on live TV.

I’m a Boston Celtics fan. In 1986 during the playoffs, Jordan scored 63. We won the Championship that year but I remember thinking this man is going to be a problem. Years later we are watching the receipts of what I said💯

Even the most faithful Lebron fans are mesmerized by Jordan’s highlights 😂

I’m 47. MJ wasn’t just the best basketball player of all time. He was the best I’ve ever seen anyone do anything in my life. There’s a reason he was voted the #1 athlete of all time. There’s so much more to MJ than highlights and 6 rings.

And this my Young Brutha, is why! Jordan heads are like, "Why are you comparing LeBron to Jordan?!" Jordan was "RELENTLESS" in his style of playing the game! Jordan didn't stop until the clock read 0.00 at the end of the game. Win or Lose? Jordan never quit, didn't pout on the bench! He hated to lose, and even if he was losing? He wasn't going down without a fight! Jordan was an Assassin! A Cerebral Assassin! And was out to destroy the opposition! Juuust sayin....🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

That hand-switch shot that got you out your seat became iconic bc it was his 13th field goal in a row in his first finals

For my husbands 40th birthday, I got him 3rd row seats to see the Bulls 1995 opener. It was amazing seeing MJ perform. MJ and Scottie were magic together!

MJ was widely considered the goat b4 he scored 18k points. In hindsight u can say why didnt he play 20 years. The fact is he didnt have anybody to chase after the 1st 3peat. He still came back and did another 3. Much respect for enjoying greatness and not turning it into a pi$$ing contest.

Jordan is the only player I’ve seen in real time that looked like he took an extra step up in the air while in the air…..🐐

The man was a MACHINE! I witnessed it and just watching this video its still almost unbelievable! GOAT!!

One of the things about Jordan and this is a testament to his greatness is that even if you HATED the Bulls, You LOVED watching MJ. You could be the most die hard Pistons or Nick's or whatever fan and you're still in awe of and appreciate MJ.

Mike didn't play 20 years but remember Mike played all 82 games 9 times with the bulls and at least 80 twice. Dude was a beast. It was amazing seeing alot of these highlights live. Not to mention some of em were in playoff games and finals when the stakes were super high and very tense. So you can only imagine how that felt in real time.

Respect for LeBron and Curry and KD. Kawhi and Kyrie. All the stars of this era. They're doing what they can to make the game watchable, but if you watched MJ through the 80's and 90's, there is no contest for the most exciting player. The man had no weaknesses.

I swear I've seen this mixtape at least 20 times and still tear up every time at the end because it reminds me how lucky I was to watch him every game and how much better(competitive with respect for each other) the game was then. It sucks getting older (40 now) and having to tell young people that there really was someone better then anyone they have ever seen. Watching basketball during MJ's reign was something a lot of people don't get to be a part of and it was something I don't think anything else will ever top for me.

The crazy thing, is that you could make 10 more videos with all different clips..He was Jordan every night and that's why he's the Goat

Jordan is by far the greatest basketball player to ever grace the NBA hardwood. If you missed, you truly missed something special. I mean the championships are a great icing obviously, but that's a team effort, the same can be said of the fact that from October 1990 to June 1998 the Jordan led Bulls won 6 titles with 2 3-peats, and NEVER lost more than 2 consecutive games in that entire time while Jordan was leading them, but again that's team domination behind an incredible and relentless leader. However, when you can say the man took a joke of a team to THE premier show to see with sell out crowds at every single game, the man won 10 scoring titles and has the highest ppg in NBA history while maintaining efficiency, and to go along with those 10 scoring titles, he also has a DPOY award, 3 steals titles, and was selected to 9 All-Defensive FIRST teams, that's all THE MAN, not the team. Michael Jordan is also one of only 3 players in history to record 200+ steals and 100+ blocks in a single season (the other two being Pippen and Olajuwon) and Jordan is the ONLY player to EVER do it twice. Jordan also played in a far more physical league than we see today, which can attribute to players today playing longer and racking up career total stats, but even with the physicality and his relentless nature, Jordan also played all 82 games 9 times in his career, the last time being at age 40, and he played at least 78 games 12 times. That's reliability and another reason you don't see players like Jordan with 20 year careers, he poured every ounce of energy into every play, every night, on both ends of the floor. MJ#23 = The 🐐! NO question or worthy debate.

Every game was like this. MJ was was different. No one ever did it like Mike. Or has since. The eye don’t lie. No one had the skills he had. Past or present. Great reaction

I grew up watching all of these games. Jordan was on another planet with his skills. He is the GOAT!

Bruh… so many great names, past and present that I can name… BUT NONE had the TOTAL package as #23 of the Legendary Chicago Bulls! The G.O.A.T. Michael Jordan!!

These highlights are a fraction of what we witnessed here in Chicago! Thxs MJ for the memories & championships!❤️🎉

Everyone is entitled to their opinion so I'll respect yours. Magic is my favorite player all-time and was my GOAT until I saw what MJ did to one of the greatest teams all-time (86 Celtics). And I didn't need to hear Bird say "that was God disguised as Jordan" to come to my conclusion. I'm old enough to have witnessed prime Mike in person. I saw him three different times vs Clips at old LA Sports Arena. And what my 20/20 vision saw was something it hadn't seen before or after him. There were plenty of amazing aerial acrobats that were not in this mixtape. I've also seen prime Bron in person and it's no hyperbole when I say it's not even close. MJ had the much faster twitching muscles which granted him the superior raw athleticism, reflexes, hand-eye coordination, bounce, hang-time, mid-air body control, quickness (off dribble or jab-step), agility, flair, etc. MJ could also leap off one or two feet while Bron leaps off one. MJ had much better footwork due to much better fundamentals. And Jordan's maniacal mental was of killers in serial. While Bron's mental is Monistat vaginal. And that's why he's always needed a multitude of All-Stars. Mike only need one prime All-Star. An All-Star that he helped mold to become Wonder Boy to his Batman. Glad you mentioned his relentless energy. That's one thing that was legendary and is not talked about much. The guy would golf, drink and smoke before games. Then he'd expend so much energy at both ends and he'd still have the endurance to take over late in 4th quarters. Let's not forget - he hardly slept. While Bron spends millions in nutrition and sleeps in Michael Jackson's hyperbaric chamber and he doesn't have the stamina to take over late in games. If there was at least one player today doing only half of the things Mike did, I would renew my NBA League Pass ASAP.

I have lived to see micheal Jordan in the 80 s and 90 s and have watched basketball evolve to what it is now !!! You can’t compare these two eras !!! I love lebrón James and Michael Jordan, it if I have to choose I choose MJ he’s the goat !!! He revolutionized the game and paved the way for many of these Basketball players we see now!! Jordan is a brand name that will never ever be forgotten!!! Till this day we buy Jordan shoes, clothes Jordan everything pretty much!!! The question is will we be buying Lebrón in 20 years? I haven’t bought Lebrón shoe in years but I still keep buying J’s!!!!

If you weren't born and raised in the MJ era you wouldn't know the appreciation he gifted us fans the most exciting highlights and how he revolutionize BBALL AS WHILE HIMSELF . He is why we call MJ THE REAL , THE GOAT !

YOUNG BROTHER, this is what we talk about when we say MJ is the best, period. I am from Chicago, and I got to see him play. The highlights do not even compare to the actual stadium atmosphere!

Michael Jordan Voyager is even better than this. Players nowadays specialize in a few aspects of basketball, MJ on the otherhand... You said some big names, giannis, westbrook, kyrie, lebron - energy, play style, handling, strength, layups, dunks, steals, blocks, defense, quickness, hangtime, court vision, fluidity, footwork, vertical - MJ had them all, and he was a beauty to watch. It's not that we are hung up on the nostalgia, we just know that we have seen someone above the current standards of greatness. Hard to believe, but now you had a glimpse, because he was always ON, and he was even brighter whenever he takes something personal.

I know it is highlights but picture this energy, speed and endurance for a full game 82 times a year plus playoffs and you get the GREAT MJ

😮MJ’s first step explosion, creativity around the rim, slipperyness in close proximity to defenders, aggressiveness to rim from outside the 3 point line, relentless energy to win at all costs and defensive prowess in one package… oh and the mix tape doesn’t show his ability to make his teammates better. I think I just defined what GOAT is!

The crazy part is they weren't letting him "boom it"! They actually played defense back then. MJ was just a savage! He learned to play a lot more physically after dealing with the Bad Boys style of play.

Favorite mj quote, “ when I played , I wanted to play against the best ,..not with the best” that’s something lbj can’t say

Jordan is the definition of the most complete GOAT! He had no weaknesses on both ends of the court while being clutch with it! His game was a spectacular poetry in smooth motion!

It's almost like he didn't know who MJ really was, Crazy! Being born an early 80's kid I'm glad I grew up watching him live, he was amazing!

MJ the goat. I grew up on Jordan. It was never no off games. It looked like that mixtape every time he played every game win or lose

This is by far the greatest mixtape you'll ever seen your life 48 inch vertical,4:38 fourty huge hands,god level footwork,alpha mentality,clutch gene, Stamina of a cheetah, Ultra competitiveness. He was basically a government experiment, And a video game character come to life, He would average 42 to 45 points in today's era easy.🐐🐐🐐🐐23

I love how he moves his legs as he is flying, like walking on AIR, ITS CRAZY

He impacted all his fans ,people started dressing better,playing better,talking better,he was someone everyone took something from,,he was on tv every ten seconds,he was with us

He rarely got tired. He played 48 minutes REGULARLY. He was a freak.

I have seen both Jordan and Lebron play live. I was not overtly a Jordan fan back then I was a huge sonics fan and the loss to the bulls was painful I thought Gary Payton did one of the best defensive jobs on Jordan ever and it still wasn’t enough. The era of basketball back then was a lot different than now. When Michael played even if he was playing against your team you would find yourself watching him mouth open in shock wondering what you just saw there was something otherworldly about it and even if he was beating your team you still knew you were seeing something special. I have never once had that feeling watching Lebron. The current era is so much less physical than it was then. 80% of Michael’s scores in this video would get an and 1 in today’s NBA and maybe even and intentional foul called and Jordan did that with out all of the theatrical flopping of todays game. This mix tape Jordan isn’t just beating defenders he’s beating hall of fame legends the best teams with the best players in the most competitive and physical era of basketball ever. No disrespect to anyone who likes Lebron he is certainly an amazing future hall of famer but I don’t think he is even in the same conversation with Michael Jordan.

I am a Jordan guy. To see all those plays live in the 90's was a blessing. Props to LeBron for hit talent but Jordan was different bro. He did what he wanted when he wanted period. He would tell his defenders what he was going to do and they still couldn't stop him. I feel privileged to have seen him play. Never saw it live but damn. It was the same as watching Tyson or Pedro Martinez in their prime. Pure perfection

Jordan was at another level and played balls out every day no matter what and his competitiveness was unreal, I was in my early teens when he hit the league and was blown away. It was like watching a superhero play basketball, he made everyone around him look slow and he could hit shots from anywhere on the court. Ridiculous talent

Man its crazy to me just how fluid his game was. Everything is just so silky smooth. Everytime I catch his highlights I'm always left in awe. Not a lot of power, just fluidity and almost like this man could turn gravity off

what i appreciate about MJ is that he didnt chase rings or fame. He just wanted to win. Walked away when he wanted to.

Everybody who was there and saw Michael play, know he's the GOAT!!!

you know jordan is the GOAT because every single person alive (with common sense, and even a slight interest in sports) would be watching his games if he were playing today. that's his level of greatness. no one comes close.

Wasting him play live was unreal. No one. Played the game like he did. Basketball hasn't even been thesame since he left.

I saw magic and bird in their prime, MJ in his prime, Hakeem in his prime, Shaq and Kobe in their prime, KD, steph, and LBJ in his. MJ not just the greatest basketball player ever…He’s the greatest player ever in any team sport. His pride did not allow him to take a single play off…ever. He played in all 82 games NINE TIMES. Played injured, played sick. And he was just as serious in practice. He never stepped on any court with good intentions. Greatest competitor ever…And also the most skilled. And also…He could actually fly.

Jordan was different from everyone. It was so fun watching him play. I grew up at the right time. Jordan and the Bulls on WGN a few nights a week. I never missed a game.

When you're a master at something, you're the "Michael Jordan" of that thing for a reason.

In the 90s almost everyone on the planet knew who MJ was. It was star no. 1 in all fields, not just basketball or sports. He was the best NBA player almost every year in Chicago, but also the best athlete in the world in all sports and the most dominant. Undisputed. After he shaved his head, this became a fashion in the NBA, then in other sports, such as soccer :)

He did these things every night and really turned it on in the playoffs it it were possible

I have a pleasure of seeing him play Live And he made plays like this every game. It's not just the highlights that you've seen now.

Who ever made this highlight real is top tier. The footage in order of his years beginning to end, young...first 3 peat.... 2nd 3-peat. No one was safe. All players have good, avg and bad games... But when Jordan was on the court, any and every game could turn into a highlight show torching of the other team. Once the Bulls got the right pieces around Jordan it was inevitable.

This man could access so much vertical off no steps. And no one can shoot on the way down like him. Also greatest mid range shooter in history, 1A finisher at the rim with lebron in terms of effectiveness. Prime Russell Westbrook hop off the screen energy on both sides of the floor...just god given energy. And lets not forget his 24 straight games as a point guard in 88.....30.4 pts, 10.7 assists, 9.2 rebounds, 2.4 steals, on 50% shooting.

MJ made everyone look like high schoolers, totally in a league by himself. I grew up watching him, me and everyone I knew was watching sports center just to see what what MJ did. Dude was an artist painting masterpieces on the hardwood.

MJ is not only the GOAT but he's the LEGEND !

MJ vs Bron? The difference between MJ fans and Bron fans is simple, MJ fans got to watch both at their prime. Some people just didn't bother to watch MJ. And the best things about MJ are not these highlights, these are just icing on the cake. It's the consistently unstoppable midrange jumper, the clutch, and his impossible combination of finesse, endurance, speed and strength.

The best thing is he was like this every night. I miss those days.

Great reaction man. I'm glad they put this mixtape together. That's how everyone felt every single time Jordan stepped on to the floor. He was relentless, his movements were so different and his creativity in the air is still unmatched to this day. He was the ultimate competitor and by the time he completed his first 3-peat, he was pretty much universally considered the GOAT. When he completed the 2nd 3-peat, he became a mythical being in the eyes of sports fans. Jordan was able to retire twice, but still accomplished so much in so little time. We all felt he could do whatever he wanted, because there was nothing left to prove. He came back to the Wizards with no intention to win a chip, he just wanted to play and help his business.

Awesome seeing a great reaction to an all-time talent. Living in the present doesn’t mean we shouldn’t appreciate or forget the past

I know you said these were highlights but I seen it firsthand and every single game was just like this. He left everything on the court every single game. It was something to see.

Highlight? Every game that he was playing was a highlight. He is the GOAT!

Ive watched this mixtape probably 50 times and every single time im like wow😅

Now you see with your own eyes would we already have known. Seeing MJ play is a thing of beauty. It's really about how you feel watching him play. Even all the greats of today, including your boy LeBron, still hold him in high esteem....for a reason. He's The GOAT. PERIOD!!!

Good point on “we’re not measuring number of titles or points scored”. I think MJ is the greatest ever for qualitative reasons. When he stepped on the court, all his opponents soiled themselves. Ask them, they’ll admit. That’s why MJ is the best ever.

He played all 82 games too...

Can you imagine experiencing MJ’s era growing up? Now you know why it’s a huge disrespect to compare anyone to MJ especially Lebron. MJ didn’t have any weaknesses at all. He was the greatest to ever play period

Let me tell.you why Mike was so good. Besides the talent that is plum obvious. Is he was relentless and his determination unlike any other,but the #1 thing, he wasn't scared to get hit taking it to the hoop.We will never see another like him,loved watching him, simply the best!!!!

Coming from somebody who actually saw him live, how can anyone say this man is not the best basketball player ever!

I'm comfortable saying that the only other players I've ever seen that can rival MJ's footwork are Kobe and Hakeem. Except MJ had the giant hands to do pump fakes that would humiliate people! Also, people drool about LeBron's dunks, but the vast majority of his notable posters are against people significantly shorter than him like Terry or John Lucas. MJ had posters against every dominant and/or defensive minded center of his era. Hakeem, Robinson, Olajuwon, Ewing, Laimbeer, Mourning and Shaq!

You've only seen a small glimpse of what Michael has done. Some moves brought you to tears, others pure shocking. I've been watching b-ball for 60 years. Sorry to say know one has seen this kind of talent. To the extent when he retired from the game, millions of ball players retired from the game too. He was and will be a once-in-a-lifetime player. Thank you for the Love of the game Mike. Our dreams of the game will always be what dreams were made of. We were eye witnesses of the GOAT, his name is Mike Jordan.

With all do respect but there is no other player capable of doing this. I don’t even like sports but watching him playing is literally magic. You are right he did walked on air 😍

I live in the Caribbean, basketball was not a big deal here before Jordan, we got together at the one house that haf cable to watch every Bulls game, some houses had an admission fee to get in and people would wait in line so they could go in amd watch the game, that's how big Jordan is, he turned the world into basketball, the NBA is what it is now thanks to that legend.

Eye test alone tells you who’s the 🐐. Forget numbers which MJ still outperforms everyone in those. Yes including you know who…

20 years can't be your measuring stick for greatness, Kareem played for 20 years before Michael but yet MJ was still considered the GOAT. The closest we have ever had to MJ was the late great Kobe Bryant (RIP). Lebron is a great talent no doubt but MJ is the measuring stick by which we judge Greatness!

Michael played this way every game, enormous amount of energy and skill unmatched to this day. Played through injury and illness. I saw him play a lot in Chicago and Milwaukee. Was there in Milwaukee for the 72nd winning season. I have not been as interested in basketball since Michael retired. Still watch but don't have the same feeling about any other player.

His airness....his compete level can only be matched by larry bird...but MJ is no question is the goat

21:10 yo my exact thoughts!!!!! He was flying.,Walking, gliding, damn near standing still in the air. Work of art for sure!!

If you didn’t see it at the time I can fully understand why the youngsters today can’t believe this player existed. But he did. Lebron a great but he’s second because of the level of performance Jordan achieved. Defensive player of the year and scoring champ in same season. Come on. Only man to do it.

Went to college before the NBA, took a 2 year or so break and still had killer numbers

the Jordan era wasn't a place in time. it was an experience.

Mike was built like that 🐐.. MICHAEL JEFFREY GOAT JORDAN IS THE GREATEST EVER TO LACE EM UP. He was like poetry in motion he didn't just jump and dunk MJ COULD FLY he wud ELEVATE BEAUTIFULLY ...HE PLAYED AMAZING DEFENSE AS WELL

appreciate that you can give MJ props and not dump on him, I don't really feel that he and Lebron should even be compared.. they're completely different players..

Keep in mind this was in a time where defense was played, fouls weren’t called, no travels, no double dribbles, and many teams hand at least one hall of famer. Hes also one of the best defenders of all time in a defensive era. He’s by far the GOAT.

In my life, I saw live two sportsmen that were in a league of their own: MJ and F1’s Senna. It’s not that they were good - they were magical. Really, like wizards. Once they took the stage, time stood still, the air felt different, and everyone knew that history was being written right under our noses. More than athletes, they were artists.

And what ya'll have to remember is this was at the time when, I don't like to say that the league was more physical. But it was only because back then the big men which was the centers and power forwards got paid to play in the paint and keep everyone else out of the paint from scoring easy buckets. But in today's league alot of the big men play outside because they are better shooters. So that leaves the paint wide open. But notice most of all of Jordan points are in the paint over 7 foot centers.

I’m glad you can see why people who’ve seen both in their primes like me say MJ is the goat He was different bro He did things that people today still ain’t doin Lebron in my opinion is the 2nd best player I’ve ever seen But there was just something different about MJ

He simply was the greatest . I have watched players since Bird,Magic all the way to current , MJ is the GOAT and the ones that don’t think so never saw him play.

I think people don't know or remember that Mj had a 48" vertical and ran a 4.3 40 not only is the the highest jumper and one of the fastest in the NBA but that go for all sports too he really was the greatest athlete ever.

Let me tell you something young man I've been fortunate enough to see them both and I'm going to break it down for you real simple there is nothing absolutely nothing that LeBron James does better on a basketball court than Michael Jordan it's that simple and it doesn't get any more simpler than that

Great reaction, you just earned yourself a sub. My opinion is that discussion has to be for second place, the distance between this alien and everybody else is just too big

I’m not a basketball fan at all. Never have been. But you know what? When I turned a channel and saw MJ playing, channel would not get turned until the game was over. You couldn’t help but watch. He was insane.

MJ also did this when the NBA was allowing teams to play defense. NBA is strictly geared today for offense.
