Michael Jordan SKILLFUL Offense Highlights Montage 1996/1997 (Part 1) 1080p HD 

The footwork masterful... nobody is even in the same stratosphere as MJ.

This is how efficient MJ was. If you watch closely, He took less than 3 dribbles to score every single time.

This guy was consistently amazing every single game. I don't ever recall watching Jordan play and thinking damn this is boring. Always on the edge of your seat wondering when you were going to see him do something you've never seen done before. He had such an aesthetically pleasing game, like poetry in motion. In my opinion no one is bettet than MJ not Kobe, Magic, Lebron, Wilt, Russell, Oscar or Kareem.

I like how Michael Jordan’s game improved in the 80s and 90s.He kept getting better and better and better and better and better and better and had the best nicknames like The Black Cat and Air Jordan.He was the best player in the mid to late 80s and he owned the 90s because he was top dog in that era and no one could guard him.He had great work ethic and was a great competitor but he also had that KILLER INSTINCT 🔥.And that is why I love Michael Jordan and he had a beautiful jump shot and his dunks were effortless so as his mid range jumper.He was the ultimate ALL-STAR and Superstar.

The fundamentals always came first. He never just depended on athleticism. Nothing unnecessarily off balance. Greatness.

He is just toying these defenses. His skills are just simple yet perfect basketball. The best ever!!

This is what a Grand Master looks like

I grew up watching Micheal Jordan. My dad used to tell me as a kid "Don't take this for granted, because this is special and will never happen again". I said "yeah" but I truly didn't get it. I DID take it for granted. It was just the law of the universe. The Bulls had Michael Jordan and won championships, just as sure as the sun rises in the morning. Now I look back sometimes and can hardly hold in the tears. This was special. This was something else entirely. This was a once in a century athlete and my young, ignorant ass was watching him dominate the league. I feel so utterly privileged that I had the ability to watch this man play, yet so nostalgic and sorrowful that I'll never be able to experience it again.

Jordan today would be a MONSTER

Mike showed guys every night that he was NO JOKE. Even if you played your hardest, you could still end up on one of his posters.

Mostly every single shot you can hear the net pop.. No rim 🔥 #Goat

Everything about Jordan is so amazing. His fundamentals, his ability to align himself in the air (which is hard to do), his ideal excellence. What a thing of beauty.

His shooting form was a thing of beauty

These highlights are so great. MJ was still by far the best player in the game even at 34 years old

That is 34 years old MICHAEL JORDAN - THE GREATEST TO EVER PLAY THE GAME!

I love how you show like 7-10 clips from the same game. It just shows you how dominant he was.

Can't imagine anybody had a better mid-range game than MJ in the NBA history.

The true GOAT 🐐

that man is a pure shot creator!

That's what made the second 3peat so amazing. Because he was no longer Air Jordan and he was still dominating. But this time he's doin wit Jumpshots, Are you kidding me...

This Michael Jordan would have torched the Golden State Warriors.

The Real KING

When he's in the "zone". He's unstoppable. His mid range moves and shots are sure points. His athleticism and fundamentals are so synced. He also has finesse. What a beauty to watch.

Two players in all of sports that made all the other players look silly- Michael Jordan and Barry Sanders. Both played in the same era and I was lucky enough to have watched them KILL IT!

Man this dude change the way NBA was playing the game and put it in a level that only few can play...but he was the man that change the game. Crazy skill , fast , strong , leader , shooter. Moves etc

The Goat straight balling!!!!

love that spin he put on the ball when driving to the left before he dunked on sura. that's master ball handling skill right there.

There will never be another Michael jordan

This was a 34 year old Jordan!! 🐐

This man would still dominate the league today 30 yrs later.

His fundamentals were amazing, and the athleticism was , well....One of the best athletes ever.

his mid range is ridiculous. I think this is my favorite version of Jordan cuz its just skill and mental.

Da Bulls and Da G.o.a.t! Hopefully one day the Bulls team will Win it all Again! #Bulls4ever!

The Man the Myth the Legend---THE GOAT

sooo crazy.. michaels is so much ahead of its time GOAT

I want more 96 97 bulls highlights please!! For real tho all the haters who said jordan couldnt shoot 3s he did. He just didnt shoot alot and rarely if ever practiced them. Goat is flawless!!

Unguardable

Greatest Player in History. Nobody can shoot the rock better than MJ and I mean nobody.

I cant get enough!!!!

His calculations & execution is unmatched. He’s the Goat

One thing Jordan got a lot better at as his career progressed is offensive rebounding. This video was a small sample size and you still see multiple highlights of Mike getting offensive boards, put backs, put backs and 1, etc. Just awesome because at this point in his career it was all experience and wisdom instead of just pure athletic ability. MJ was a master at the mental aspect of the game.

The 42 that didn't like it are lebron D slurpers. These highlights showed just how great mjs footwork and jumper was. This is better than anything i see today....sheer skill. Amazing

everytime i see these nasty MJ highlights i feel todays nba great players are just some average players.

At this point he wasn't air Jordan he was what I called the smooth operator goat

Amazing video. No offensive fouls on drives, unlike almost every player in the NBA today. Jordan would average 40+ in today's league because of the open lanes, lack of intimidating shot blockers, lack of handchecking, and the very fact that the refs allow offensive fouls on drives on a regular basis, ESPECIALLY for superstar players.

Can we appreciate how insanely fast he changes his dribble. His instinct to change his dribbling at different angles and position is amongst the elite ball handlers, with most being PGs.

Imagine how many points he’d score a game in this era where everything is a touch foul...

The way these players this era cant play defense. Mj would have a field day.

Don’t ever compare a king to a god

7:07😭....why did MJ do him like that....HE MURDERED HIM!!!! on the court with that move 😁

I’ve watched this specific montage so many times such a great video

MJ looks like Terminator while everyone else looks human. It’s like he’s in fast forward while everyone else is in slow motion. He’s like the Bionic Man LBS

Idc what anyone says there is no one better than Jordan and the only player better than Kobe is Jordan 💯

The real 23 and the real GOAT

Jordan and Kobe the best fade away jump shooters ever

I’m from NC I saw him play in a blue white game his freshman year in Chapel Hill ! I new That day he was special ! That was the only time I got to see him play in person!

One of your best yet... true Skill....can't wait for the next mix

4:35 "You can jump, you can time it, but you can never jump high enough" -Dan Majerle

His midrange footwork post game and handles are way better than lebrons from what I see in these highlights.

Nearly all of those mid range pull ups were against good contests. He was just hitting J's in people's faces.

I feel like MJ

Crazy highlights. Even crazier you just took games from the 1st half of the season lol. You didn’t even include highlights of the 51 Pts vs NY that was right before that game @ Cleveland. That just shows how amazing MJ was on a nightly basis. That takes great players a whole season to have a 9 minute highlight film.

The real king.... the. GOAT

Kobe Bryant was close but yet so far away still

MJ and LeBron my fave attackers ever I swear man

Now imagine if he didn't retire in his prime to play baseball for two years. He qould have 2 more mvps 2 more rings 2 scoring titles and 2.000 points more 🤔 the indisputable GOAT

Jordan was the Master of And 1's n hanging in the air artistry at it's BEST.... That's why he was the best

He dribbled less to maintain his stamina and he was a great passer he just never passed much

His AIRNESS!!!✌✌✌

This is called scoring without all the bullsht.

Dude MJ would have killed it in todays league.....his 3 point shot was decent and he always improved what he was bad at

That double crossover on Russell at 2:49-2:51 was nasty!

Great highlights, and the instrumental went perfect

No flashy unnecessary bullshit dribbling, just proper fundamental basketball coupled with an insane skillset and an unmatched will to win. M fucking J.

Dont forget this mj at this age is considered old. Dude was the most dangerous player even past his prime. He was so great his past his prime could be considered another prime.

I grew up in Chicago so seeing the evolution of mike from high flying shot creator to slashing shot creator to post scoring shot creator but all mixed into one fundamentally sound player who gave you every variation on any particular night you would see something so sound & simple yet so very creative & poetic that all you could say was "Damn did he really just do that." I mean he could do it all even defensively he would terrorize his opponents if his offense wasn't clicking right away but his Mid Range game was impeccable if he got into a rhythm early it was a wrap for the rest of the game his scoring efficiency was off the charts as well but the mental aspect in Michael Jordan's game were at the highest during his ascension to basketball immortality. A sight to behold MJ was the standard of his era of pure dominance on the basketball court a mental assassin to those who would try to challenge his competitive drive he wanted to bury his opponent every time no matter friend or foe. Michael Jeffery Jordan Chicago Bulls Est. 1984-1998

I LOVE LEBRON JAMES BUT JORDAN HE WAS THE BEST PLAYER EVER PLAY THIS GAME MICHAEL JEFREY JORDAN 6.6 FROM NOTH CAROLINA THE BEST SCORE EVER HE IS THE GOAT 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

No wasted movements and no too much dribbling...

In 97 he got down in weight and when needed air Jordan was air Jordan. He was like a member of the family even my mother who knew nothing of sports watched him with us. The dude was incredible.

he went from Air Jordan to Jumpman to Astronaut Jordan

Goat 🐐

Mj was just something else to watch

The Greatest ever!

Every move has a purpose

The greatest ever

Dude was nice.

He had a counter to everything

The 35 yrs old Michael Jordan

kawhi in his prime= MJ in his late 30's

GOAT

And imagine MJ adapting to today’s game based on crossovers and step backs. The GOAT so many yrs later and ppl still catching up. MJ is 🐐

Dumars hit the ball on the way up and he still made the shot..WOW

As soon as i click on this video.... It finished!!!!! I saw many of those plays in real time!!!

The Best Ever

MJ doesn't pass He 'feeds' GOAT

He would’ve adapted to the 3 easily

Jordan went from owning the Hornets to literally owning the Hornets

I simply feel blessed to be able to watch many of his games. Even despite living in Europe with the time difference. There will never be anybody like him. Pure magic.

remember this openning game of the nba! miami vs bulls 1996. how time flies. now i'm 37. good old days!

his movement, his skill, his big palm = goat
