One of the things I love about MJ is that every time he went for a fake, it was always with the intention to score and not just to get a foul. Also, never have I seen him flop.
If you listen to LBJ stans MJ invented flopping because he went to the line a lot. It definitely had nothing to do with the fact the entire league adopted the strategy of playing streetball against MJ just to stop him inside. Bad Boy Pistons being the ones to do it best.
you know Paul, I'm watching this montage of shots from Jordan over 1,2,3 players and my eyes just start noticing that on every contested shot, Jordan has a man wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide open at spots on the court. now, these moments would capture the makes but I'm sure there were plenty misses and In moments like those, the open man must be cussing in his mind. it's clear that he didn't trust his squad or at least some people. I went back to watch a full game of Jordan cuz I'm saying he really couldn't have been like this the whole season, but in all the games Jordan seldom passed he ball. that shit would irritate the shit out of me as a teammate but then again maybe they were as much of spectators as we all are and relied heavily on him. If Jordan can't do it, it can't be done, unless you are a once in a lifetime Steve Kerr.
@@wellesleywatson9449 "but in all the games Jordan seldom passed he ball." SMH... FACT: MJ's overall apg avg during the seasons BEFORE Phil took over was at 7apg. In case you're unaware of what this means, it's simply to say this: he avg'd more assists during those season than he did during his title seasons. And the reasons why that's so is because at that time, he was CHI facilitator/primary ball handler during those seasons. Phil reassigned him as "primary scorer" and gave that duty to Scottie, after he took the reigns as head coach. In fact the season before Phil took over, MJ avg'd 8apg while running the pt guard spot that season. And the 1st Finals he ever played in (and won), he avg'd 11apg in that series. So if you're claiming to have gone back and watched games on MJ and didn't see him passing the ball, either you're lying, or you're just being willfully ignorant on the matter.
@@wellesleywatson9449,or they didn't show all the times he did pass out to wide open players....so stop ...if like wanted to be an passer he can have ...just look at 88,89
i assure you i am 30 years old and michael jordan was every where on the tv in australia. The nba is the 90s was the reason basketball courts were full.
Best MJ video ever, just because THIS is the true Michael Jordan. Kids these days- the "highlight generation"- think he was all dunks, circus shots and shoes. Watching him play a full game was an experience, a masterclass of how basketball is supposed to be played. It was a seminar of what a fundamentally complete player, an absolute artist of ultimate flair, a once-in-a-generation physical specimen and a downright psychotic competitor all rolled into one, looked like. Every single thing he did had a purpose, every step he made within the lines was part of a choreography, every shot he took was an attempt to push the limits of basketball technique an inch further. At some point competing against anybody wasn't enough and he just competed with himself. No opponent-player, coach or crowd- was a challenge anymore. He had dominated everyone and everything. He was just battling with himself, almost if he was posessed and was trying to get free. Hence, "he is as CURSED as I am" when reffered to Kobe. At some point it became a curse, a phobia and a burden to be that great, as his greatness had exceeded anyone else's prior to him. His popularity had reached true demi-god levels like no other person in human history, let along sports history. And it was evident for EIGHTY-TWO games EVERY season, no "load management", no flexibible expectations. Michael Jeffrey Jordan is the greatest ATHLETE that ever lived, period. No "if's, but's or maybe's"....
How do you stop someone who has a deadly mid-range jump shot, great at moving without the ball. Who has incredible hang time in the air and great foot work in the post. With a vast array of moves in his repertoire, he'll never give you the same look twice as a defender. How do you guard someone that is cat-quick, can blow by any defender with a first step that is so explosive, can drive through the lane and finish with either hand, a body so strong that can both create and absorb contact in the paint and still finish the shot. someone with a deadly fade-away jump shot that's almost impossible to guard, can beat you on the inside and on the outside. Someone with ice in the veins who performs at a even higher level when the stakes are higher. Who isn't afraid to go 1 on 5, but also possesses the passing ability and court vision to find open man with ease. Someone who can demoralize the opponents on both ends of the court, by playing lock-down defense on one end and being a scoring machine on the other end. The most scary thing is, that someone while combining all the natural talents, physical skills, basketball smarts, mental toughness and a relentless work ethic, who has attained all the accolades and collected all the trophies one can only dream of, still has the hunger at age 40, to lace up his sneakers n go out every night to prove to the world and to himself, that no amount of winning or achievements can truly satisfy his competitive nature and his love for the game. How do you stop someone when his legend grows even bigger years and decades after he walked away from the game? How do you stop that someone I just described? No one really knows the answer. But if one knows enough basketball, one ought to acknowledge THAT SOMEONE, is the GOAT, Michael Jordan!
Very good description. To add to that: he had great physical prowess, long arms, big hands, small waist, long legs, very little body fat. That was on the physical side. On the technical side, he knew the fundamentals like no one else. He knew how to create space, how to make the opponent lose balance, when to lean forward, when to take a step back, when to pass...and defensively he was a beast, one of the few guards who really guarded his side of the court. All the above though are not the best element of MJ. His element was his work ethic. Watch him in his college years. Then in the first years of his career in the 80s. See how much he was improving year after year? he worked extremely hard, and according to various interviews, he was extremely competitive even in practice. MJ has the most impressive work ethic I have seen on an athlete. He would do anything to be top. He spent countless hours in the gym. He wasn't a natural born shooter, but he improved tremendously each year. He did not know any post moves in the beginning. But he worked very hard and learned all the tricks.
Achilleas Margaritis - to me, actually, perhaps his greatest attribute was his leadership. MJ won so much because he was truly a leader of men. His patience those first 6 years was incredible considering the fire that was in his belly and the frustration of losing to the Bad Boys although he himself played incredibly each time he faced them. MJ always led by example and never acted in a manner beneath a man and player of his stature. Coupled with that work ethic you mentioned, he truly made guys around him better as each of them understood what was expected of them and that excuses were not tolerated.
@Ary Munoz and he had the best fundamentals of any player to ever play, ie, he practiced and worked harder to improve his game than any other player, ever. Period.
His 63 point playoff game vs probably the best Celtics teams ever, was the most awesome individual performance I ever saw. He was absolutely on fire that game as well as the game before with 49. When he was on like that, he was unstoppable!
63 points without shooting a 3. Oh and that was only his 2nd year in the league, too. Oh and he missed more than half the regular season with an injury. Then he averages 56 points for those two games lol.
Morpheas Rhodos No argument there. The Celtics had two 6'5" guards in DJ and Ainge. Then that awesome front line. Everybody tried to stop Jordan but it didn't happen in the first 2 games. Growing up in NC and being a UNC fan, I knew that MJ was great. But to throw that many points against one of the best starting five ever assembled in the NBA......well lets just say, the world got a glimpse of his future domination of the league.
Four years later. I'm reviving this comment. The media, announcers, even ESPN were already calling him the GOAT before he even won his first title. One correction. Someone said the "Greatest team the Celtics ever had." No.. I hate Boston but.. That is easily the greatest *NBA* team ever assembled. Period.
Jordan could create a video on moves, one for layups, one for dunks, and one for defense and they all would sell out. He was a smooth and artistic dude in whatever he did.
The reason why MJ was so efficient was because he had so many moves. Even coming out of college he already had a post game. He also moved very well without the ball, something that is a very underrated part of his game. It's the benefit of staying in college and playing for a HOF coach like Dean Smith. The guy had great fundamentals.
Yep. You hit the nail on the head. I grew up in Chicago watching Jordan and that's what made him the best. He did a lot of unbelievable things, but his ability to always get an open look, no matter the defense or who was guarding him, made him unstoppable.
Clearly not true there are many individuals in league history who possessed the ability to create open looks against any defense they faced, Kobe, TMac, Penny hardaway, A.I., Bernard King, Geroge Gervin, Dr J, that list is long, the difference between them and MJ was his unmatched ability to to do this under the greatest pressure situtations almost to the point of obsession, when everyone in the gym from the guy guarding him to the security guard at the team tunnels were expecting him to. Most ppl would not expect other players to hit game winners, tide turning shots, or make momentum stopping defensive plays. But no matter the odds of failure everyone just thought MJ would pull it off even when he sometimes didnt. Like most announcers in his day used to say, when the Bulls came to town the most exciting thing to see was Jordan scoring, the second most exciting thing to see was when he missed lmao
Michael Jordan was clutch no matter what situation he was in on the court. He had athleticism, he was able to shoot from anywhere on the court and most importantly he was smart and a quick decision maker, fast like electricity. He was a team player and was very competitive obsessively wanting to win. It was really his intelligence and quick decision making that made him so good though. There are many NBA players today that are as athletic as him, but they have no Intelligence.
@@troyjohnson9123 sure he would. Because he's done it several times before back in the late 80's and early 90's. And there were tougher players back then. Hence! Michael jordan opponents hated being embarrassed in front of their fans. Not to mention front of their own families. Which even worst. So! You're right! Today's game it won't be 60. It would be 70. Especially if he was 29 years of age, in today's game, with all of the rules has been. Which is why I made that point about Michael would be scoring 60 as his average.
With today’s weak NBA and lack of defense, MJ would score as much as he wants on who he wants whenever he wants……also would love him to come out of retirement and whoop Lebron’s ass up and down the court…
This person is bigger, that person has longer range, this person is a physical specimen, every new generations leading talent will be compared, BUT MJ is better at basketball. period.
I'm watching NBA 25 years ago and I'm watching NBA right now... What Kids these days don't realize is that in the 80's/90s the pressure was way above compared to games right now. Right now there are so many blow outs by the top teams but in the MJ period there has been a lot of tight games where the great Players had to proof a lot more often that they are great!!! They took over the game when it has been necessary but today the clutch games ain't that often.... What a pitty....
You can see Michael Jordan Loves him some Basketball. He Loves Chicago and his Basketball Team, He Loves Art of Basketball, and he Loves playing the Sport of Basketball. MJ was a Inspirational Person on and off the court, he can move real fast, he can defy gravity and never gets tired of Basketball. You knew when the whistle blew, You look to Michael AIR Jordan, everybody was like, what will he do next? Amazing Man! I want to be like Mike
The GOAT!! Michael didn't just jump...he had something unique in the way he elevated. Almost like he could control his rate of ascension. The dude literally glided and just hung in the air. A human anti-gravity machine. His superb fluidity and insane ability to find seams in any defense and split double teams was inhuman. God stitched MJ in the womb to be the GOAT and I have no doubt that the Holy Trinity gathered around the TV every time Michael played. My friends...there will never be another...
It's just amazing watching him leave wave after wave of devastated defenders. If you didn't watch basketball in the 90's, you missed a lot. Those Bulls vs. Knicks games during the Bulls' first 3-peat were some incredible battles.
The one that springs to mind is when he goes to drive to the basket which looks like layup attempt.. and Brent Barry comes across to block..now Jordan already jumped then Barry comes across as expected to pin on the backboard..but Jordan mid-air pump fakes..Barry slaps the backboard and lands..Jordan just does a deft floater whilst still coming down 🥴🤣
This cat aka man-god was on an entirely different plateau from the rest of us mortals. Blessed with speed, smarts & amazing foot-work, his body of work is just other-worldly. The greatest to EVER lace 'em up. MJ No 23. Thanks for the memories & letting us believe in the impossible.
definitely ...the best ever ...nobody else got to be a total player as Michael... he was the most delicate butterfly , and the strongest bull ...he created a poem in every movement he made ... and also he was a nuclear missil in every attack destroying all kind of carefully planed defense against him ...the best ever ... w/out any doubt.
Jordan created open looks and could square up to shoot like nobody else! To be able to palm a basketball, the hang time, the agility and acute study of the game then its hard not to believe he is the GOAT of his time!
When he turned itself in god-mode nobody on this planet was able to stop him, he was an absolute master and probably he will be for ever the alpha athlete.... the perfect basketball player
@Kenneth Erickson jordan sgould have gone to baseball to fulfill his fathers dream when his father was alive so he could have seen it.jordan was a dumbass doing it after his dads death.To late really.Didnt do any good really.
No one has come close. And I don't expect that in my lifetime, anyone will. Before 1st retirement, during MJ's first 3-peat he had in the finals 1991 - 32 and 11, 1992 35 and 6, and 1993 finals record 41 ppg and 9 reb… that means he was somehow responsible for 50% of his teams points. No one has come close to those numbers though Shaq did some beastly things. Michael Jordan is the Babe Ruth of basketball. And the beauty of it is that unlike Babe, we have video footage proof of how amazing this guy was. As of 3 years ago, 50 point playoff games since 1984. MJ - 8 rest of the league combined - 13, Kobe - 1, Lebron - 0. Simply amazing.
***** 1993 finals record 41 ppg and 9 reb… that means he was somehow responsible for 50% of his teams points. No one has come close to those numbers though Shaq did some beastly things Your comment> The stats you bring out on alot of these vids put alot of shit to rest. My rebuttal > 2015 Finals LeBron scored or assisted on 66.84% of his team's FGs by far the highest % in the last 45 YEARS (next highest, Jordan's 56.3% in '1991) James Crushed Jordan's record James averaged 35.8 points, 13.3 rebounds and 8.8 assists James scored 40 or more points three times in the series, including 44 points in Game 1 James recorded a triple double in Games 2 and 5 and just missed one in Game 6 with 32 points, 19 rebounds and 9 assists. (Jordan never recorded a triple double in the NBA Finals( James had 2 in the same series and has SIX total in the Finals) You can very easily make the case LeBron's performance in 2015 was better than Jordan's in 1993 and 1991> Nobody has ever scored or assisted on 68.84% of his teams FG's in the finals or led the entire finals in scoring, rebounding and assists like LeBron did Your rebuttal> All those Lebron stats are bogus. I always laugh when they take random ass numbers to make a guy standout. LOL Yeah those random 40 point triple doubles which hasn't been done since 1969 and assisting or scoring on his teams 68.84% FG's. lol Or being the first player in history to lead the entire finals (both teams) in Scoring, Rebounding, and Assists lol That's RIDICULOUS That's not random my friend, that's greatness
***** As of 3 years ago, 50 point playoff games since 1984. MJ - 8 rest of the league combined - 13, Kobe - 1, Lebron - 0. Simply amazing. You loved that stat But if someone Brings up all of LeBron's historic 30 and 40 point triple doubles in the playoffs and insane records those are "retarded?" lol How is dropping 45 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists a bogus stat? That hasn't been done since freaking 1964 by Wilt Chamberlain and it's just one of many historic games in the playoffs by LeBron James is 3rd ALL TIME in playoff assists. Only Magic Johnson and John Stockton have more. Is that a "retarded" stat lol
look hand cut's look the shoot emotios look fly emotions look the fade aways look the last chance shoots everytime everywhere his Shoots to rate 100% !! Amazing, legendery! the best player of all time around the world! thank u MJ!
***** You're crazy. Remember hand check was legal back then. If Kobe is forced out easily in the soft NBA rules nowadays where you can't touch a guy so much, then that just makes a better case that MJ is more effective in the post.
Nowhere near physical that MJ played against. Kobe played against handchecking but it wasn't as physical as they allowed it to be on the mid 80s to the mid 90s. Not to mention not much great defensive players played against Kobe but Jordan played against all the all-time great defensive players.
Sir Kraden I concur. From the mid 80's the defence was a lot more physical. Then the NBA wanted a more open running type of game and changed several rule. I believe that todays game is less physical.
yes, especially on the low post down to the paint. a lot more players hustling also defending full court namely Jordan, Pippen, etc in their prime. Nowadays, it's more of zone defense but nowhere near physical as it's used to. The spurs particularly exposes how soft the nba is now by passing a lot and using their range since handchecking a guy 1 vs 1 like in street basketball doesn't exist in NBA anymore. If defense is too afraid to touch the offensive players but the offense can create space on top of that, then it's almost impossible to stop a great shooting team. There were also taller and greater centers back then.
there may be a guy with his physical abilities someday. There may be someone with his desire to get better at every facet of the game. there might even be someone with his work ethics and there may someday be someone with his competitive spirit. All together in the same guy? probably not
Kobe is the closest we'll ever get to that, he has a better work ethic, he has the same competitiveness, shares the same desire to get better, but he just doesn't have the same physical tools
@@anonymoususer2080 Physicality wasnt Kobe's main problem in reaching MJs level. MJ was a far better analyst of himself and of the game, so his improvements were far more apparent and effective and automatic and consistent. It wasnt his limitations athletic wise that made Kobe almost shoot the Lakers out of game 7 of the Finals in 2010 in the first half, taking ridiculous shot after ridiculous shot. You wouldnt see shit like that from MJ. And thats just one example. I could point out to several others, that dont have anything to do with being able to jump high or run fast.
@@johnyb9519 prime kobe has like 8-9 inches less vertical than jordan. Kibe has like 2 inches smaller hands and he was not as strong as second three peat jordan. Ofcourse until prime jordan is a lot quicker than kobe. All these shits are true. How Jordan hadn't an athletic at least advantage?
IDK if And1 Mixtapes did it, but somewhere along the way, kids thought that "shaking" a dude meant dribbling in one 6 inch spot side to side. MJ had no wasted movements in his game. Everything was meant to create separation, either crossing you up while moving forward, then spinning while moving forward...or posting, and getting you moving back while he gets balance on a fade moving back. Of course when you can triple cluth j's it helps too. Best EVER BY A MILE
The one thing I will remember the most about Jordan growing up is how deadly his first step was. Unmatched and really nobody I seen all those years could stay in front of him. He didn't even need to be fancy with the dribble to shake a person. His offensive and defensive abilities together just put him in another universe. Kobe is no where the defensive player, nor as quick, nor more athletic as Jordan. Jordan's is a true Legend and worldwide Icon like Ali. I can't put Kobe up there with Ali.
There are people who are experts in their craft, and there are people who are masters. Michael Jordan was, is, and always will be a master of the craft known as basketball. The speed, the agility, the intuition, the accuracy. Jordan possessed every single aspect of the game in spades, and there was literally nothing that could stop him when he was on the court. Props to the maker of this video, as you really captured this man's brilliance.
my favorite play is when he assits himself of the back board cause big shaq is clogging the center! He is the most amazing athlete I ever seen. You cant convince me after watching him play any one was better that's blasphemy
Aside from the rings which is really a team accomplishment. I would say that Jordan is the most individually exciting player to watch. If I were to witness a person throw an apple in the air and cut it in six slices I would be amazed not so much so if I witnessed someone slice an apple into six slices with an apple slicer. Ho hum. Wilt or Kareem are the greatest. And I'm not big on analytics but the fact that these two are numbers 1 and 2 all time in win shares is telling.
Man, these are better highlights than ESPN or Sportscenter has got on MJ. As a bulls and MJ fan, thank you for posting. None can be compared to the true King of his time in the NBA.
What a great vid! What makes it even greater was that none of MJ's dunks were featured along with all the crazy circus shots that he hit. This is why MJ is the GOAT, kids!
Im sad, i think is because while watching these i realize that Michael is retired from basketball, and i miss watching his greatness. I hope soon a player will come again to awe us all just like his airness did.
To people 30 years old and less.You cant see the greatness by highlights. He was on a different plane. He took his whole TEAM and made them champions. Year after year. Season after season. And most importantly, game after game, move after move.
MJ vs LeBron This is a silly debate. Clearly Michael is better. It's not even a close one. But let's go to the facts. Updated after Lebrons 14th season. Michael Jordan has •3 more rings •3 more final mvps •1 more DPOY •1 more season MVP •9 more scoring titles •3 more steals leader •3 more all defensive team selections •4000 more points / bron moved past him in playoff points, but it took him longer lol. •800 more steals •Beat 20 50+ win teams in the playoffs (Lebron only defeated 10) •Jordan never averaged less than 40% Field Goal in the finals Lebron did it twice •6/6 (never allowed a game 7) •Lebron had much more help •Jordan never had a teammate averaged more than 22 points in the finals.. Kyrie averaged over 28 and DWade averaged more than 26 •MJ never ever had a finals meltdown like Lebron in 2011 against the Mavs •MJ had more points in the playoffs in less games.. All of this accomplished in 13 seasons Lebron is in his 14th season still chasing the "ghost that played in Chicago" •Michael Jordan in the playoffs has put up atleast 40ppg, 5rpg, 5apg in 6 different playoff series. Along with an average of about 55% shooting, 3spg and 2bpg. (86 vs bos, 89 vs cavs, 90 vs philly, 92 vs Miami, 93 vs Phoenix, 88 vs cavs) Jordan won every one of those matchups except for the 1986 matchup vs the celtics. •Jordan in 88-89 averaged 32ppg, 8apg, 8rpg, 3spg off 54% shooting. LeBron has never even came close to this stat line. •in 87 thru 92, MJ averaged 5 straight seasons of atleast 51% FG shooting. LeBron has never done this. •the lowest FT% MJ ever shot in a season was 78%. Lebrons highest in a season ever is 78%. •MJ has a higher playoff FG% of 48.7% to Lebrons 48.3% •MJ has a higher playoff player efficiency rating of 28.6 to Lebrons 27.3. •MJ shoots a higher playoff 3 point percentage of 33.2% to Lebrons 32.9% •MJ also shocked the league by being the first (and only) player to have 100 blocks and 200 steals in the same season, then turned around and did it again the next year.. Seriously this list can keep going. This isn't even a debate. Mj is the GOAT. Michael in only ELEVEN complete seasons with the Bulls: -10 STRAIGHT scoring titles, -Won Defensive Player of the Year, -9 times all defensive team, -9time All NBA, -5 league MVPs -6 finals MVPs LBJ missed the playoffs completely in his first 2 years. Jordan didnt with scrubs on his squad. Jordan played 82 games 9 times in his career once at 40. LBJ only played 82 games once. In 89 Jordan won the scoring title all star MVP slam dunk title regular season MVP and Defensive Player of The year something LBJ has never done. Jordan also averaged 41 pts a game for an entire Finals shootimg 50% and won. Something else LBJ never did. All 11 seasons. Mj has done in 11 seasons things Lebron hasn’t done and won’t do in his whole career... And before you criticize me for copy and pasting just know that it doesn’t matter if it’s copied or not, truth is truth. Check Mate.
Most remarkable thing is that on every single one of his off balance shots (especially the one's where there was contact to knock him off balance), he ALWAYS squared his shoulders up and his release NEVER changed! Textbook fundamentals INGRAINED into his DNA!!! Mind blowing.
today basket rewards offense, 80's and 90's game rewarded defense. the game was harder, thougher and more exciting. Players back then really had to earn the points they got
I've watched so many videos before, I thought I had seen all of MJ's highlights, but I was wrong.. so many moves of him that I see for the first time. Excellent work... congrats!
In case you young ones aren't noticing this, but the majority of these clips are against some of the greatest defensive teams and players of all time. Note who on the Celtics, Knicks and Pistons that jordan scored on repeatedly, and made look silly doing it. GOAT, by a long shot
Leirrie Valentin - this right here was one of his secrets. He releases the ball not at the apex of his jump but right as he starts his way down. It created the illusion of him flying. But what he really was doing was focusing on his shot for that one extra millisecond and it made him that much more unstoppable. Nobody had better concentration than MJ.
It also created an illusion and shock to his opponents 99% of the time. Because of the way all the basketball pros were nurtured, they needed to release the ball as they jump or at least once they hit their maximum flight from the floor. So everyones in there had to look to the rim as MJ went up. Then it shocks them in milliseconds as they only realised it that MJ has just released the ball as they looked back at him.
At some shots defenders sometimes can contest heavily to the point of almost getting blocked, he had to improvise and reposition his shot until he sees an opening.
You really do deserve immense credit for your level of dedication to putting this together. Thank you for doing that and compiling it all. This is awesome :)
It's incredible to have watched so many of his games! I have watched and recorded every possible Bulls game aired in Europe back then in the 90's, but 600.. wow. Very good video!
Thanks for putting this together It is like watching Messi at soccer, or Federer playing tennis Like Messi, MJ has the fakes, the quickness, and of course the jump and then the great shot. Pure astounding athleticism Plus after watching MJ speak, such a genuine and real person, never ever forgetting where he came from Even saying many times how he really misses just being a regular person like he used to be, being able to go out to the movies or to McDonalds with his family A great man I admire him very much
therealist811 - no question. LeBron is a freight train...a graceful freight train...but a freight train. MJ was so athletically gifted that he made it look easy
His ability to release the ball after his jump apex is so underrated. It's actually really difficult to do and was certainly one of the reasons he was so impressive to watch and hard to defend. That combined with his mentality and footwork and defense is why is without question the GOAT
I know MJ is the GOAT but sometimes I forget HOW great he is/was...thanks for this video. And this video doesn't even include his dunks, nor does it show the excellent defense he always played. He truly is the greatest :D
I think one of the best clips that sums up his greatness is at 22:53. He is in The Omni in Atlanta, hits a game winning shot against the home team, and EVERYONE jumps up and cheers. Who else does that happen for?
It was the combination of his will to win with his fundamental to advanced skills as well as his athleticism and Creativeness&Artistry all wrapped up in one!!
