Michael Jordan's NBA debut with the 1984 Chicago Bulls | ESPN Archive 

Yes.

Yes sir, lol

This might actually be true

Missed a bunch more shots too but ok

@@Justfacts10000 lol its a joke

Same way he took the first shot by the Bulls in his first game with them and the final shot in his last game with them.

MANCHESTER UNITED F.C Ok

MANCHESTER UNITED F.C ok

@M ok

@M I still don’t understand who asked?

Oh no, 1984 was totally ready from day 1 to see a LEGEND in the making. And MJ gave ‘em exactly that…and then some!

1984 wasn't ready for Marinos 48 TD passes also....

Doctor j played in the 70's ya know? The guy who inspired this style of play to MJ?

ARXV Photo Where was you at with the time stamps G?

They're filtering comments now fam, don't think it can be done anymore

Bro that's all you will probably have to say. That would kill!! Lol

ARXV Photo damn

Well, Walter Payton got 0 rushing yards in his first game I’ve never heard that either

There's already a better one , he wears the Number 23 , is 6'8" and was born in December 1984.

Brother Malcolm who choked 2 clutch free throws yesterday. LeBron=Greatest stat padder ever

Something I regret is never seeing him play in person. Watched him my entire teenage years though.

@@chancecooper9246 Same here. I was younger and broke then..

I have a story I'm ashamed to tell as a sports fan. When I was 17 my dad and I were watching the 98 Finals game 6 together in the living room. We got in some spat and I walked off. I missed the last few minutes of the game. I will forever kick myself for that. I don't even know what the argument was about but probably something dumb. And I missed the GOAT hit his last shot as a Bull. What a friggin moron I was lol.

@@user-rr3fo6hy9q yeah but thats a great story and lesson you can always tell the younger fellas! lol

Crazy meatriding

Tony Cromes that’s some magic

I think this may of been before the Wizards were known

Tony Cromes this was the bullets at the time not wizards bro

Christon Marche Jr. MvP 23 still technically the wizards my guy

4hunnid .a not really my guy bullets and wizards don’t relate, only the city is the only relation just name is different.

Yes until you realize that isn’t even top 5 for a rookie all time

@@charcoalcowboy It’s tied for 4th.

Yep and back then the spring in the shoes weren’t as good as they are today.

@@MrZZsharka nowhere near, they were awful in comparison to today. Genetically he is a better athlete than any guard that has ever played.

It's his big hands. He's actually in the air the same time as everyone else but his big hands allows him to hold the ball a little longer, which ultimately makes it look like he's hanging in the air longer. I know because I have big hands and's can do the same thing. I'm just 5'9 though 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

His vertical leap is still highest recorded (I recall).

@@katrinagwen MJ and Wilt are tied at the top with 48" verticals in their respective primes (Spud Webb at 5'7" had a 46" vertical, insane!). MJ was also blessed with enormous hands (rank #8 all-time NBA's biggest hands - any position) and relatively small feet (sz 13) compared to his height which aided in his lightning fast & nimble footwork. In addition to these natural & freakish gifts, he's also one of the most competitively minded athletes to play a sport (and he was not injury prone) - who somehow maintained that "chip on his shoulder" drive throughout his career - despite the success & distractions. Along with all that his very high sense of style, intelligence, business acumen, swag, loyalty to city+team & his leadership skills all lead to him being the Greatest Of All Time, easily. Not a horrible actor either. He also obliged my brother's request to shake his hand at a MotoGP event in 2007. No one else is even in the same hemisphere as MJ and it might be another 100+ years before somebody truly equivalent comes along (in any sport) again.

Jordan was a great creator on the basketball court. I always was in awe of his creativity on your court. It inspired me to be creative in my life. Jordan made basketball an art form.

I smell cap

@@533xavier same

How old are you?

@@B14ever too old :(

@@533xavier a whole lot of people thought he was the best player they'd ever seen before he ever played a pro game

Fr. And an away crowd

@@catcherboy96 That's in Chicago at the old Chicago stadium which was shared by the Bulls and Blackhawks and had gotham city style stone sculptures all around the sides of the building. It was a really awesome atmosphere there, I remember going to games there and watching Jordan as a kid. You don't get that kind of energy in today's cookie cutter stadiums.

Kobe got the closest...🥺🙏🏾

@@JPlays2K Lebron did

There will be someone better than him just a matter of time decades

@@kashshhds8824 doubt it

Well, as time goes on, new gen kids growing up go have their own best players and won't know anything about Jordan. You already see that happening with LeBron's gen kids so when you say to them, Jordan is the true Goat, a basketball God, they just think you're full of "chit" and scream KING, for LeBron. Dumb @$$es.

Arguably

LeBron is the real goat 🐐

@@easymoneysniper4876 🤣

RM Prod. LeBron is the second goat

😊

Not to mention he was a field goal guy, so he didn't take a lot of 3 point shots during his career, relatively speaking. The 15 foot spot up or turnaround jumper was his shooting zone.

Bob Knight did, even before this game

Believe it or not, Bob Knight said he was the best player that he'd ever seen after coaching the Olympic team. Fact.

@@jaker9901 What do you mean? MJ even said in an interview he doesn't settle for a lot of 3s because he prefers to go to the basket. Everyone who watches MJ knows this

Worth way more than just 20k

I d have paid a million!

AdolphSaxOfficial 😂😂😂

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

Bruhhhh

Agreed I definitely thought I was the only person who thought this smh sad sad day in bulls history if only MJ lived up to the hype smh sooo much wasted talent

AdolphSaxOfficial not even close

The way he shoots as he's coming down from a jump is magic.

Only Kobe could immitate him

Kobe was the remix

Kobe

No Micheal Jordan no basketball for me.

I quit watching when the bulls finally beat the pistons in the playoffs lol.

So did a lot of people. Basketball was just not the same. And if you were from Chicago then it was impossible to watch after he left.

Same

I think it be the same for me when LeBron retires

Yeah 3 logo on the left and 3 logo on the right.. signify the 2 three peat.

Boss Jay this is 1984 bro

@@FartBart14 yeah we know, the coincidence of the 6 bulls logo is what we meant.

@@bossjay6190 ahhh i see i thought u was confused my bad g

Good catch, wow.

12 years, don't forget he missed his second year and he missed 94 and half of 95

No they’re airships not Js

@@jce1417 what was the first ever jordan shoe he wore in game? Was it the banned 1 colorway, or the chicago 1 colorway?? 🤔

In part because no one seems to notice how poorly the rest of the goat candidates shot the ball outside of just a few feet from the basket. While the Wilts, Lebrons, Russells, Kareems could/can accumulate huge stats all 4 had/have a much more limited ability to affect the end of a game. All were mediocre to poor FT shooters. If you have 5 goat candidates but only 1 without a significant weakness ... there's your goat.

Houston at the no. 1 position picked Hakeem... Hardly a mistake... As for Portland at no. 2... who did they draft again? 😂

​@@kaspafischer clearly not a mistake from Houston, at least Hakeem won two rings with the Rockets (more like their hard work was paid off)

Probably

Lucky Gary... 😂
