Michael "AIR" Jordan - Original Career Documentary 

Months of work on this one. A brand new, far more in depth look at the life and career of Michael Jordan. There are a few segments from my old MJ doc inside this one, but obviously this video is more than twice the length of that one. I hope you all enjoy it.

Who else is still a fan of MJ in 2024?

Unless you were around during this time. You will never understand just how popular Jordan was and how he made NBA popular world wide. Even people who didn't care about basketball started watching and going to games just to see him play. It was unreal.

"37.1 points a game. And no rest days." You'll never hear that from the NBA ever again... 🐐🐐✔☑☑

This is so good. All lebron fans need to see what a real superstar looks like. Changed basketball, changed Nike, and changed sports advertising

If you didn't live through this man's incredible career no amount of highlights could possibly make you understand just how special MJ was!!! 🐐

This is why he is THE GREATEST PLAYER OF ALL TIME. Because we still watch he's highlights after all those years and still have goosebumps ✌️💪

I’m sorry what y’all kids see now is considered greatness, or the standard by which greatness is measured. Seeing this man go through his career in real time was like nothing else. You never felt cheated, or like anything else you had to do was as important as watching him play on the court. Anyone arguing on who’s the Goat is either a hater or too ignorant to understand.

No one brings it home like joe vincent, No one!!! 30 seconds in and already got chills!

Now, these young guys can really see why he's the greatest MJ all day 💯💪🏾

No load management here.. This man was a beast. As a child born in 81, I saw this man shred the pistons, before they were the bad boys... then the league. From that , he became the greatest player ever.. 6-0 Never a game 7 in the finals. Participated in the slam Dunk competition. This man is a icon

Mike was on whole other level, sweeping the nba all stars with the Olympic squad then dominating the league as a rookie. Imagine if they had social media when he did all this.

Michael Jordan The G.O.A.T 🐐🏀🏆👑🥇 1x National Champion🏆 1x NBA All Second Team 1x NBA Defensive Player Of The Year 1x NBA Rookie Of The Year 1x NBA Rookie All First Team 2x Gold Medalist🏅 2x NBA Slam Dunk Contest Champion 3x NBA All Star MVP 4x Gold Medalist 5x NBA MVP 6x NBA Champion 6x NBA Finals MVP 9x NBA All Defensive First Team 10x All NBA First Team 10x NBA Scoring Champion 14x NBA All Star

Excellent! This generation needs to see the reality that is MJ. 🐐

This just became the #1 best Michael Jordan documentary of all time.

Grew up on the Mississippi River in Iowa where after games teams from many counties would show their colors. It was a big occasion with 1000 kids. If Jordan was playing, the spot was dead. No pizza, no fights, no chasing girls. We were all home watching Michael.

I'm honored to have grown up in the era this man played, and given the privilege of witnessing Mike's greatness in real time. This man's skill transcended literally everything. Right. Left, Black, White, Theist, Antitheist it doesn't matter. Mikes skill unified society, and transcended cultural, and societal differences. It didn't matter who you were when Mike played you were watching. Even if you werent a fan of the sport you were a fan of Mike because watching him you knew you were witnessing something special, and you couldn't help but be in awe at this man's unparalleled skill. 90s Bulls spearheaded my Mike is a dynasty that we will presumably never witness again. Lakers with Kobe and Shaq is disputable, but there was just something special about this era. Whatever that *"IT"* is, they personified *"IT"* and that *"IT"* was Michael Jordan. We need a huge, Blockbuster movie about Mikes legacy.

All NBA players need to recognize that MJ made this league what it is. He is and always will be the Godfather of the NBA.

Jordan made basketball a global sport. The money, and shoe deals athletes get today is because of that man. MJ is a national treasure.

MJ is the reason half the league or more now is playing basketball.

This video alone makes the MJ the GOAT

The greatest basketball player whoever lived! Indeed I am a Golden State warriors fan. But I'll even say this; not even Steph Curry himself and all his feets could never touch Air Jordan🏀⛹️🗑️

95-96 Season was so special, Mike came back to wear #23 from his previous mid season return where he wore #45. Took the throne back with a triple crown and another chip. It was the biggest thing not just in sports but in the culture.

MJ's jump shot is a thing of beauty. With how high he jumps and releases his shots it must've been a scary sight to see for opposing teams.. I would imagine

There will never be anyone better at their sport than MJ was at his. No one. Period. End of story. Those of us who grew up watching it in real time know that, without any doubt

Perfect timing, I was just gobbling up all MJ content of 2023, and now I can watch this masterpiece right after!

One of the best channels on all of YT!

As a Chicagoan we were immensely blessed to have Jordan representing our fair city 💪🏾❤️

This is the greatest slam dunk of a documentary of all time. MJ is forever the GOAT Of Basketball. Joseph Vincent is the greatest sports RU-vid channel ever. I'm grateful to witness your creative genius. I'm in your debt. Thank You 👑💯

MJ content has been peaking randomly over the last 6 months it seems on YT… I love it.

I lived through Jordan as a kid and through my teens and I've been here for LeBrons career. There's no doubt that Jordan is and will always be the best to ever do it.

GOAT player... GOAT documentary of Michael Jordan. Thank you Joe Vincent

Your work is incredible. It is literally criminal that you aren’t doing big time, massively funded documentaries for traditionally mainstream outlets. But for now I can only say thank you.

jordan has the best highlights ever...true goat

I grew up watching him and saw most of these games. And he still blows my mind when I watch the highlights.

1 hour and 50 minutes of just pure greatness💫

Joe Vincent is the MJ of RU-vidrs

Undisputed GOAT!!! …No Cap ..no flops

Jordan landing after a dunk was always perfect. Never seen someone land so perfectly after a dunk.

"It's like Michaelangelo re-painting the Sistine Chapel over and over again" best analogy for Michael Jordan's game that I've heard

The 🐐.. I wish I had memories of watching him play he only played 2 years out of my lifetime but I still know he’s the best to ever put a NBA jersey on

Yep, gonna go head and clear the next one hour fifty two minutes and twenty three seconds of my schedule because the GOAT dropped a documentary about the GOAT!

The effect Michael Jordan had on basketball is the same effect Hulk Hogan had on professional wrestling in the early-mid 80's to late 90's. Fans watched but, others who were not interested, all of the sudden became interested, invested, and these two individuals came along and took their professions to global heights

I probably played Michael Jordan Come Fly With Me over 300 times as a kid athlete. MJ was like a living urban legend. Utterly unbelievable & never to be duplicated

MJ is and always will be the GOAT.

Mj the goat. Period.

MJ is the GOAT in basketball ❤️❤️🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

I've been watching Jordan highlights for 40 years and this documentary has many plays I've never seen before, especially from his early years. I also really appreciate how you included broader context to some of his more well-known highlights such as what transpired just before the play. Incredibly well done, thank you!

I'm so thankful for this to come out the day after that Lakers circus last night. I truly feel sorry for people who never got to watch him play...The only GOAT ever!

Michael "AIR" Jordan was and will always be the greatest basketball player of all times !!!! No player or sports athlete have had near a "fgodlike" status among people all over the world. The karisma, the boldnes, the toughness, the athletics, the determination and the killer instinct to go up against any man and any team with-out ever backing away. The more you put on in gameplay, it would only make Jordan do more and the more hard work you did, the even more Jordan would do. He would never-ever let you off with-out a serious battle and if you somehow managed to win, Jordan would in rematch destroy you with-out losing a beat. You never wanted to wake this giant if he ever slept! You would live to regret it evrey day of your life if you did.... Chicago Bulls: 1984-1993, 1995-1998.

The kids of this generation we are in now will never understand how great Jordan was when it came to basketball. His raw talent and the will to win at all cost is what made him into a unstoppable force.

I dont know how mqny of these docs on jordan have been made but i keep watching them all. If you ever need motivation just watch one of them. There is no player currently or ever that was this good. Period.

never seen a player with such a natural transition to the professionals than MJ! It was just meant to be.

I have been a Bulls fan since 1983. This video brought me back to when MJ was drafted and the absolute excitement and passion he brought to the game. Thank you for all of your hard work and passion!

I was born in 98’ but my dad showed me basketball at a young age bc of Michael Jordan and til this day nobody compares even in his wizards days. Just watching Jordan makes you want to go outside and play and man we all would like to be like Mike. The league now is soft you can’t convince me it’s more skilled or tougher than it last was in Jordan’s era or early 2000s.

before watching this, one should go outside and play for 5 miinutes, trying to throw - dunk etc. and then you are even more blown away by this beast.

They really trying to say that anyone is better than this guy??? I'll take the Kobe comparison but people saying Kobe is Mike 2.0 should put the pipe down. How can any human be an upgrade of an ALIEN? Let's not even talk about their King. They should just leave THE GOAT alone and understand that they're ALL fighting for 2nd place. AMAZING job putting together this video.

The only player who looked like a super human .

Smh..& this generation has the nerve to try to compare lebron to Mike??? Mike set the bar so high that it really doesn't matter what numbers Lebron puts up..the man would literally float in the air and score..Mike was so clutch...GenZ folks don't have a clue..its more amazing when you actually watched him in the 80s and 90s live...

Thanks Joe Vincent! Michael's first year was my first year of high school so I got to witness his whole career! Wilbon said it best: "Whatever you paid to see Michael Jordan play, it wasn't enough! You knew that every night out there, you were going to get the greatest concert of your life!" The greatest entertainer, athlete, and basketball player I've ever seen without question! Add to that, the closest thing to a guaranteed win in team sports history! Even on nights his shot was off/even in games he lost - he always played like Michael Jordan!

the goat himself makes a documentary on the goat himself

I'm thankful to be the age (currently 42) that I got to watch Michael Jordan and Wayne Gretzky tear sports apart at the same time.

No one will ever say “He’s the LeBron James of…” It will always be “He’s the Michael Jordan of…”

Incredible highlight/doco of the undisputed GOAT. There is absolutely NO ONE that has an argument to be on his level. Michael Jordan 1st.. Daylight 2nd.. And the rest can fight it out for third.

If LeBron ever wants to be GOAT he needs a time machine because Mike built this league and GOAT status isn't available to anyone who comes after. They cannot repeat what that man did for the sport. He transcended basketball to become a beloved global icon and THE brand ambassador of the times. If a Mike 2.0 arises we will know it and there won't be any debates because he will break the game again.

NOBODY brings it home like *JOE VINCENT!* Nobody.

I'm 40 minutes in and I have to say: This is more fun than Last Dance!! Thank you for this. Must have been a ton of hard work!!❤️

Noone captivated crowds like Jordan did in the 80s and 90s, there's such a beauty to his game that you cannot just put in words. The passion for the game just cannot be replicated. He was a trailblazer of what basketball can be played like. The skills, the acrobatics, the will to win, the wagging tongue and unguardable fadeaway, the love for defence despite being the best offensive player, who did not want to emulate Jordan...what he meant for the game...don't think there's anyone who does not know who he is even today..he's a standard for excellence for a reason and that's universally accepted...why even entertain some silly goat debates I'll never know...let others fight for second spot, that's still open. Man, it was a pleasure to watch him play, been watching basketball for 35 years and and to me only Kobe and Iverson came somewhat close to what Jordan represented...great video

Thank you for this undoubted masterpiece and for all the work you do for us on here. It's the only place for sports bio docs. Nobody brings it home like...JOE VINCENT! 👑 ⚽️🏀🏈🥊⚾️

The absolute BEST Michael Jordan and the Bulls video I've seen in a very long time. Im a born and raised Chicagoan who was lucky enough to watch all this as it happened. I was 10 years old when the Bulls drafted MJ. I got to grow up watching the GREATEST to ever lace up a pair of gym shoes/Jordan's. To witness the Bulls go from being non existent to a dynasty. I'll pass this video on to friends and family so they can go back to the greatest era of basketball which was dominated by one player for his entire career, Michael Jordan!

The impact this man had both on and off the court is unfathomable. No one person in our lifetime has left more of a mark on everything they touched.

80'-90' was like the peak of entertainment and sports industries. y'all can't denied their music in 80'-90', great ton of movies, stand-up comedy, racing like F1 and motogp, 50% of those eras i was watching sports all the time and my favorite one NBA on NBC. great days great years to watch legends like Larry Bird, Magic, and goat himself MJ compete each other. after he retired there's no one can be like him. some people may not like him but without Jordan i guess i can never dreamed of playing basketball

I still can't believe I can watch this video for free. Your commitment can be seen in this masterpiece. Thanks Vincent.

Joe Vincent is officially the greatest sports YT channel ever!! And I have a Michael Jordan calendar in the back of me. You meticulous attention to detail, heart, soul and passion you put in these videos is beyond respectable and amazing. MJ will always be 🐐 of 🏀.

Back in a days ,I was Jordan - hater... There were two reasons : I was a Pistons fan and I believed that basketball was a team sport. When you watched Bulls ,the game looked like One Man Show :) What a Masterpiece you created here Joseph, thank you very much ...Poetry in motion ...

after 2 decades you just can't get enough of His Airness!

MJ is ones of the greatest ever. I'm glad as a kid who grew up in the 90's watched MJ playing games on my TV. Heck, even his short baseball career as well. Not only Basketball player. His shoes change the sneaker culture. Amazing video.

The best RU-vid documentary I’ve seen of The Great Michael Jordan.. He’s almost mythical at this point the one and only 🐐 Same with you Mr Vincent you deserve some sort award for keeping such Great Content coming consistently us fans love you.. Love how over an hour of Jordan at his athletic peak in the 80s

Extraordinary, Phenomenal, Unprecedented, Magnificent,Explosive,Pinnacle, etc...someone invent one word that sums him up and place it in the dictionary just for him.He deserves it.

So lucky to have grown up during the MJ era.. truly the golden age of bball

You are truly the GOAT! So excited for this updated video. Your MJ video was one of my favorites

I love how you show his early years dunks in slow-motion…and back to where he jumped from. Poetry in motion as people say. I never get tired of watching MJ. Thank you, JV for this amazing video!

I'm from Northeast Brazil. In my uncle's room, the decoration included the jersey of his favorite football team, a vinyl collection with Michael Jackson's first album displayed prominently, and a framed poster of Michael Jordan. Jordan epitomizes greatness.

Great stuff! Witnessed his whole career as a young man in Chicago suburbs...nothing in sports will ever compare to him or his era.

Commenting because you're amazing, this video is amazing, and the algorithm needs to spread this

you should had won some acknowledgement in the field of sports documentary. You make one of the best sports documentary here. Many many thanks

The greatest ever period!! The rockstar on a basketball court damn!! No stats needed to see there’s no one yet that reached that level of basketball and success!!!

Born in ‘84, I grew up watching MJ and VHS 📼 tapes like “Come Fly With Me” and would go on the patio on the adjustable Fisher Price w/ the breakaway rim and practice the ball manipulation, up and under, dunks and every aspect of MJ’s game 🏀. I could watch MJ highlights for hours on end.

Your work is appreciated man 😎🤙🏾

Great work brother, I grew up in the 90’s and had a Chicago bulls hat and jacket and never watched basketball as a kid I just knew Michael Jordan was great. But now I see why, thank again for this amazing documentary.

I remember in high school, I had a break away dunk in a game wearing the 7s and for that second, I felt like Mike. My teammates went crazy. It's like when you wore those shoes, in your mind, you had to emulate his moves! Everyone wanted to be like Mike! If you watched his career, no way you would say any other player was better. They don't say " the Michael Jordan Of " for nothing! Incredible video!!!

There will never be a sports decade quite like the 80's again. Michael Jordan and Mike Tyson in their prime was absolutely electrifying.

I’ve commented before that you’re the best to ever do it, but without a doubt no one comes close to this level of documentary . I’ve watched your documentary about Michael Jordan probably about three or four times but you somehow are able to make it different and more interesting. Nobody does it like Joe Vincent

I'm 12 minutes into watching this filmmaker's video and I'm amazed to find that it's not just rehashing old Michael Jackson footage. In fact, I'm still discovering new things about MJ's work an new NBA history like WOW. I previously thoughtthere was nothing new to learn, but this video has shown me there's still more to explore, and it's all fresh and original content. Truly amazing!

Going 8-0 against NBAs allstars like Magic, Bird, Parish, and Isaiah! What an unbelievable feat!!!

This is what people need to watch , this is so good a video of the real and one and only King nobody compares

Couldn't believe my eyes! JV really can never miss!!🔥🔥

Jordan is NOT the greatest basketball player of all time… He’s actually the greatest professional athlete in any sport ever.

This is the best Jordan documentary I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of them

To be privileged with living through the Jordan era is something that is unforgettable. Michael was a hurricane, tornado, and earthquake rolled into one. Even watching him on TV produced a palpable vibe that was indescribable. Truly, a once in a lifetime athlete. Often, I return to the vaults of nostalgia just to watch "His Airness". At times I almost weep as I remember watching in my formative years while simultaneously recognizing that we will never see anyone like him again. We were so blessed....
