He was the dream shatterer. How many of the greatest players to ever play the sport were denied the chance to win a championship of their own simply because they were unfortunate enough to be playing this sport at the same time as this man?
He wasn't only one of the great offensive players in history, but he was a all star defensive player, and the greatest competitor I ever watched. He was the best in big games.
That is almost exactly what I was gonna say, I watched nearly all his games from 1991 until he left the Bulls, and I never saw an athlete take over a game in ANY sport like he did. His drive, and competitive spirit were second to none. The man HATED losing, and would treat practices like game 7 of the Finals, giving team mates black eyes, and shit if he felt like you weren't putting in work. Funny thing is I'm not really a Bulls fan, I'm a NY sport fan, but Jordan is my favorite to watch of all time. Whenever people compare him to Lebron, or a kobe I laugh and shake my head knowing that person never was able to watch Jordan nearly everyday in his NBA career, because if you had, there is no comparison. You need to watch 7 stories that prove he is not a human.
I love this... She had no idea that Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player ever... But even she can tell that he did things that other basketball players couldn't
there's no "greatest player ever", first of all, but you're right about her reactions, she's naive about MJ and still she can see Jordan's greatness... you can't say the same about other people, supposedly NBA fans
Some of these aren’t the most visually appealing but the implications and the level of history being made is what makes this Top 50 even more meaningful
12:35 - the great thing about that move is it was against the Detroit Pistons. At that time the Pistons couldn't beat Jordan (I mean no one could) and the Pistons, known as "The Bad Boys" for their rough and physical style of play, came up with "The Jordan Rules" - basically they decided to hit him as much and as hard as possible when he drove to the basket. In this play, Bill Laimbeer is winding up to deliver a hard hit and Jordan side steps him, avoids the hit and still hits the basket. Love it!
Agreed, one of MJ smartest great looking moves. Love it toooo. Dont need to mention that he is one of the best scorer, defender and assister on his area and position. G.O.A.T. =-> because he is a total allrounder !!!
He was unreal to watch. He was beyond next level. There's a reason he's worth almost 2 billion dollars now. Fun fact.. When he was playing in high school, the varsity coach said he wasn't good enough to play varsity high school basketball haha
@@deeztruckz2430 Hakeem is one of the greatest centers of all time. Unfortunately he and the Rockets didn't win a title until Jordan retired the first time. I'd still take Jordan over Hakeem, if we base it off what we know now.
@@deeztruckz2430 And I could say that there was a reason Hakeem didn't win a NBA title until Jordan retired the first time. When you're drafted doesn't matter, it's what you do after you're drafted and Jordan had a more successful NBA career. Hell Sam Bowie was drafted higher than Jordan and isn't mentioned along the lines of these players except for that draft. I respect Hakeem and I respect your opinion, he is one of the greatest players of all time, but in my opinion Jordan is *the* greatest player of all time.
I would say that Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux were just as graceful in Hockey. And like Michael, no one has come close to them in hockey. Three of the GOATs.
He was amazing but you cannot say the most graceful athlete to grace a profession Period. you really can't. Lionel Messi, who has won everything in football. Lewis Hamilton who has won 6 world formula 1 titles, Jonah Lomu, the greatest rugby player of all time RIP. Sir Chris Hoy in track cycling who won 6 Olympic Golds, Tiger Woods, Federer, i could go on and on. Would disagre as a small example. Jordan was the goat of basketball, but other people in other sports who are goats in them, can't be discounted.

Growing up in Chicago in the 90s was a privilege. Just about every single person loved and supported Michael and the Bulls. You'd see old white grandmas wearing bulls jackets as well as urban youth.
Courtney: a simple four-word phrase yelled REPEATEDLY by the announcers bear witness to Jordan's greatness & status as the Greatest Of All Time: "HE DID IT AGAIN!!!!!!"
Actually no that title belongs to sir donald bradman. The dons stats are of the chart, they compared his stats to every other champions of every sport and his nearly twice as good as the next best. Look him up if you dont belive me.
@@carlofaccini8034 never heard of whoever you're talking about and yet everyone has heard of Mike. I'd definitely say have to say mike is the greatest sportsman in any sport ever...
1st off...even as a Rockets fan, Im happy as shit that I was alive to see Jordan, and old enough to’ve watched and appreciate, when I was REALLY into sports. It was an honor watching 90’s ball 2nd...for me, there’s nothing like watching these legends in action, and seeing the opponents (their peers) on the bench dazzled with some amazing highlights. Jordan had that effect...Bird had that effect..Magic..etc...all strong showmen for the NBA fan.
"Wow, he's really good!" Oddly, an understatement. You made me smile Courtney. Can't help but notice the impression Michael left. I'm happy he brought you the same kind of excitement that he brought to us when we watched him on the court. He was a beast and a voracious competitor. Cheers...
The guy Jordan wags a finger at at the 7:00 mark is Dikembe Mutombo, who was rather infamous for doing that after blocking a shot. So Jordan was letting him know that he didn't get that one.
This was after the All Star break when then played in the second half of the season, But the gist of the story is that in the trainors room, Jordan and Mutombo went back and forth about whether Jordan had dunked on him, EVERYONE in there kept asking Dekimbe Are you sure??? And he insisted NO!!! Then this happens,
Yea, that's a big part of what she's missing. She doesn't get what a moment him dunking over friggin Mutombo was, or slicing Bird and the Garden apart that night. He shined when the spotlight was brightest, and I'm still bummed we all missed out on 2 years of him in his prime. Seriously, they could have won 8 in a row.
@@citisoccer I'm an Larry legend guy celtics fan through and through...That was some of the greatest basketball I've ever witnessed Bird vs Jordan...Epic
@@jaycoopz2152 for sure. Ya know, when I was a kid in the 80s, I vividly remember asking my dad if anyone ever won the NBA besides the Celtics or Lakers. He just laughed, "yes, son. Eventually". Lol. I miss that NBA, when HOF players were taking the court every night, and the game was about as physical as the NFL is now lol.
11:00 best comment ever about Michael Jordan " He just stole their dreams " in his playing time there have been so many highlights done, so many interviews, documentaries, even movies. Hundreds of interviews with other players describing him, telling stories about him...but to me, this was the best comment that says Michael Jordan. Awesome!
That was amazing, I've never been a fan, or should I say follower, of football or basketball but through you I've discovered to many awesome moments in the history of those sports. Like even this, I always knew Jordan was good but I had never seen him play and wow, I'm as impressed as you to see just how amazing of a player he was! Keep the reactions coming, it's always fun!
@Jeremy Bunnell I think Bird should've beat the Lakers more to be on that level even if it was against both Kareem and Magic if the C's only gave L's to the showtime that could've been it but the L's got the luck with most of their threats suffering huge injuries and they only fell when the Pistons and Bulls got stronger
Jordan is the greatest cuz he never failed us. I'm a huge Lebron fan and he has let me down many times, but Jordan has always come through when it mattered most.
@Rad J Kid. Give up. Nobody is buying your bullshit. Many of us saw Jordan in real time and see Lebron in real time. There's no comparison. Jordan is levels above Lebron in everything. Stats don't even show half of it, records are Jordan's playground (47 vs 10), rings are just the icing of the cake. Jordan is the GOAT and everyone knows it.
@Rad J Best Complete Basketball player? Jordan was a 10x scoring champ, a 9x first team all-defensive player, 3x Steals leader, and Defensive player of the year. You can't get more complete than that. Magic was more complete than LeBron. A far better passer, can score and rebound at will, was a steals leader, and actually played Center in the Finals and scored 41 in place of injured Kareem. Had he not retired so early, Magic would be #1 in career triple doubles. Comparing the Cavs when Lebron left to when Jordan first left the Bulls is one of the most flawed arguments lebron fans use. When Lebron left, 10 other players including the entire coaching staff left, pretty much starting over from scratch. When Jordan retired, they still had virtually the entire roster and coaching staff that won 3 straight championships. And even then, they got put out in the 2nd round without Jordan.
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 •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 Finals (never allowed a game 7) •Lebron had much more offensive help, example: Jordan never had a teammate average more than 22 points in the finals.. In fact, Mj is Only player in NBA history to lead a team to the championship with only one teammate averaging double figures in scoring * In the Bulls’ 1997 playoff run, Scottie Pippen averaged 19 points per game on 42% shooting. All other teammates of Jordan averaged under 8 points per game 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.. MJ accomplished all of this in 13 seasons Lebron after his 14th season, was STILL chasing the “ghost (GOAT) 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% •LeBron James has scored 30 points, 416 times in 1,117 games. Michael Jordan did it 562 times in 1,072 games. Jordan won 6 championships without losing a final in 1,072 games and LeBron in 1,117 games has lost 5 times and has only won 3 times. •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.. •Mj also has more career blocks (893) than Lebron James (853) despite playing in 22 LESS career games and being the smaller guy. Also, MJ averaged 1.6 blocks per game in the 1987-88 season which is absolutely bonkers for a 6’6″ shooting guard. Seriously this list can keep going. This isn’t even a debate. Mj is the GOAT. MIchael Jordan: •NBA record 5 playoffs series’ averaging atleast 40ppg •Only player in history to lead league in scoring and win DPOY • Highest scoring average, points per game, in any championship series: 41.0 vs. Phoenix Suns, 1993 NBA Finals •Only rookie in NBA history to lead his team in four statistics (1984-85) •Only player in NBA history to lead the league in scoring, win Most Valuable Player, and Defensive Player of the Year in the same season (1987-88) Only player in history to average at least 30pts 6reb 5assists And 2 steals per game AND HE DID IT 7 TIMES. •Only player in NBA history to win Rookie of the Year (1984-85), Defensive Player of the Year (1987-88), NBA MVP (1987-88, 1990-91, 1991-92, 1995-96, 1997-98), All-Star MVP (1988, 1996, 1998), and Finals MVP (1991, 1992, 1993, 1996, 1997, 1998) •Only player in NBA history to lead the league in scoring and win the NBA championship MORE THAN ONCE in the same season * He did this SIX TIMES!! (1990-91, 1991-92, 1992-93, 1995-96, 1996-97, 1997-98) •One of two players in NBA history to score 3,000 points in a season: 3,041 points scored in 82 games played (37.1 ppg) (1986-87) * Wilt Chamberlain is the only other player to achieve this. •MJ is also the only player in NBA history to score over 40 points at age 40, and he did it twice! •In 1988, MJ earned: Dunk Champ, All Star Game MVP, NBA Scoring Title, League MVP and Defensive Player of the Year. Michael in only ELEVEN complete seasons with the Bulls: -10 scoring titles, -Won Defensive Player of the Year, -9 times all defensive team, -9time All NBA, -5 league MVPs -6 finals MVPs Mj has done in 11 seasons things Lebron hasn’t done and won’t do in his whole career…
There’s nothing more impactful than to hear your opponents speak of the fear, respect and dominance you had over them. That’s all I ever hear about Jordan. I thank God that I was blessed to grow up seeing him play basketball. Jordan is the greatest of all time.
I was born in 1985, about the time his pro career began. It didn't matter if you were a basketball fan or not, Jordan was an absolute icon in the mid to late 90's. Not only in America, but the entire world knew who Michael Jordan was (and always will). He was Tom Brady before Tom Brady. Hell, Tom Brady isn't even on that level!
He is the GOAT. There is a reason why people say Jerry Rice/Tom Brady, Wayne Gretzky, Mayweather, etc are the Michael Jordan's of their sports. He set the standard for greatness. You can write out all of his accomplishments and see how impressive he was, but the best way to watch Jordan is to see him play. Clutch, Leadership, competitive, skilled, footwork, hops, defense, steals, he had everything. Most of his highlights have a story behind them. The flue game where he played sick. The 5 3-pointers in a half where the media said that Clyde Drexler is the better three point shooter. The shot where Jordan won against the Cavaliers. The dunk on Matumbo where Matumbo said that Jordan will never dunk on him and he did. Good video to watch is Michael Jordan - Air Jordan (Greatest Jordan Video on RU-vid)
@DaddyRaka I don't think you can really compare MJ and Lebron different generations different competition they the goats ib my book and Kobe was onky close to mj in play style
Chilll Um Jordan was better than LeBron at everything, even passing. Look at MJ’s Finals performance against the Lakers. Averaged over 11 assists/game with only 3.4 turnovers. LeBron’s best finals performance in dishing dimes? 10.0/game, while averaging an even 5 turnovers/game. And let’s not forget LeBron, and his bronze medal.
THE GREATEST OF ALLTIME.🐐🤷♂️ 6-0 IN THE FINALS, 6 FINALS MVPS, 5 REG SEASON MVPS, 10 TIME SCORING CHAMPION, 9 TIME 1ST TEAMM ALL DEFENSE, 1 DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR AWARD, REG SEASON ALLTIME LEADER IN PPG WITH 30.7 AND PLAYOFFS ALLTIME LEADER IN PPG WITH 33.6, TWO 3PEATS 91, 92, 93 AND 96, 97, 98 NBA CHAMPION. HE UNSTOPPABULL.🐐🤷♂️💪
GOAT!!!! Reason why his sneakers is the top selling of all time. Plus MJ actually played defense, the best on ball shooting guard defender of all time. Also the highlights of MJ when he is with the Wizards is when he was 39 and 40 years old!!! Still the only player in history to score 50 at the age of 40. Greatest clutch player of all time.
I grew up with Jordan. I mean I was in my college and post college years during the Bull's '90s dynasty run of 6 championships. Jordan was the most dominating player on the court during that era. He was 6'6" and an aggressive player that played with purpose. He was angry at himself when he failed a play.
Ronaldinho(soccer) and Bolt(track) are the other 2 for me. They made it seem so easy, and were usually smiling(or sticking out their tongue) while competing. All legends.
The BEST thing about #15 @ the 9:33 mark is that the fact that it wasn’t even a “home” game. So imagine the New Zealand basketball team going to play somewhere else and the best player on that team getting THAT type of reaction from the “away” crowd.
Kobe is the goat "in my eyes" but watching Jordan highlights again brings a smile to my face, he is the greatest of all time and no one can say otherwise.
No 6 is always my favorite, how he fools a double team, turns around then beat the post defender. Not his airness, but the footwork, simply unstoppable.
Jordan Is THE legend, Greatest to ever play the Game 6 time champion Has so many records..Nike did Air Jordan for a reason Guy can fly and make it look so easy..Thanks Mrs Courtney and FWI your fluffy Hair looks great 👍
As the Bulls PA announcer loved to say during the 90's "At shooting guard. Standing 6'6". Froooom Charolette! North Carolina! MICHEAL! JOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRDAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!"
And the old Chicago Stadium... OMFG... when the announcer even just said "frrrrrrrommmm North... Carolina..." -- Jesus the roar in that old barn was absolutely deafening!
Watching MJ is watching a masterclass of basketball fundamentals. Jordan had the greatest talent combined with an unwavering work ethic. This man ran a 4.6 40 yard dash his rookie year, came back the next year running a 4.2 - 4.3 Mike had limitless gears. You took your game to the next level and Mike would take his to a level above yours, no matter who he was playing against. He's simply the greatest ever. Almost twenty years since he retired and in a recent poll he is STILL the most popular athlete in the U.S. He's a national treasure. I'm just grateful to have witnessed his career unfold in real time. His games hold a special place in my heart because my dad and I never missed a game on TV, we became very close because of that and I treasure those memories. Watch Kobe (rest in peace) next. If Jordan is 1 then Kobe is 1a. Just slightly below MJ but to me, he's the only guy you can mention in the same breath as Mike and Mike himself acknowledged it.
Watching Jordan play was like watching a movie.. Get your popcorn and get ready for an epic finish You never knew exactly what would happen, but you knew Jordan would win in incredible fashion
It's not just that he "liked doing" those mid air behind the back and flick moves, its that's he's the only one who could do them proficiently. Jordan's hoop awareness, hang time, and balance control were unparalleled and, as the announcers were heard saying, he did whatever it took to score and to win games
He won 10 NBA Scoring title that means he led the league in Scoring for a decade and also has the highest scoring average in his entire career with 30.12 PTS
Everyone has different opinions on the best ever, but everyone will also have only one player in their top 5 all-time and that is MJ. In my own opinion he is the GOAT. The reason he made so many game winning shots is because their wasn't anyone else you d rather take that shot. The man was CLUTCH!
mmmmmm greatest player, but I would say Bird had him in the clutch department. "If I had to choose a player to take a shot to save a game I'd choose Michael Jordan; If I had to choose a player to take a shot to save my life... I'd take Larry Bird." - Pat Riley. meaning life>a game
Patrick Ewing used to tell a story about being in the locker room during an all star game. Dikembe Mutombo said Jordan never dunked on him and everyone laughed and said it's coming. There's also a story abou Clyde Drexler saying he was a better shooter than Jordan and MJ responded by saying he never really had to shoot. He also went on to have a career shooting game the next time they played each other.
Courtney said at 10:40.. She said "He gets a LOT of game winning baskets" ... Courtney meant that Michael Jordan is a CLUTCH PLAYER AND YES HE TRULY IS!! Courtney, you are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT about it!! 😉😉👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
#2 is really #1...simply known as "the move"...look how long he stays in the air !!! "I've had failure...after failure...after failure. And tnat is why I SUCCEED!" Michael Jordan, the greatest basketball player of ALL TIME !!!!
A lot of these top plays are more important with context, especially the game-winning shots. They are shots that won playoff series, a game in the NBA Finals, or championships. He was legendary for how competitive and ruthless he could be, as well as playing his best in the biggest moments.
One thing about Michael Jordan dunking is that he elevates, he gets high, then gets higher, and just when you think you can't get any more higher he continues to rise.
My fave game winning shot was his 3pt shot against the Utah Jazz. He made the shot with his team down by 3 at the buzzer and got the foul to win the game.
Was waiting for you to do this one. The plays were not ranked however. It was just a montage of his best moves in no particular order. The early one you didn't understand was where Michael swatted the ball away from Patrick Ewing. It was a blocked shot.

And don't forget MJ is the all time leader in regular season ppg average and also in the playoffs. As a matter of fact, I believe MJ and Wilt are the only players to average over 30 ppg over their career.
@@toby2k75 LeBron is an incredible player, there's no denying that but a Jordan he is not. Watching Michael play against multiple future hall of fame talent was like a religious experience. No matter the circumstances, when the game was on the line, Jordan was the go-to guy to get the game winning shot at the buzzer. He was the greatest clutch player in history and he did it with class.
"he just stole their dreams" (Clyde Drexler, Charles Barkley, John Stockton, Karl Malone, Gary Payton, Shawn Kemp, Patric Eawing, and other guys...) best description ever
He was the GOAT because he completely had his way with every superstar he went against for nearly his whole career. These were not scrubs, most of these teams had several hall of fame players on their rosters. He is the reason many of those superstars retired without a championship. His defense was legendary. Mike and Scottie would relish at teaming up on the defensive end and shutting down the other teams top players. And he could get you 50 points in a a game AND the game winning shot if you need it. I can't tell you that this is statistically correct, but I watched him personally hit more game winners than miss them. And by a large margin.
Guys like Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky and Walter Payton are what you get when ultimate skill and ultimate determination come together. In an era of legends, Jordan was legendary.
I was born and grew up most my life in Chicago. Jordan is one year older than me. It was amazing to watch him play. The Bulls were at one time the only good team we could rout for in Chicago. Along with his natural talents what people rarely talk about was his incredible work ethic. He used to repeat a move over and over practicing lay ups for instance. For hours. His story is interesting. He's certainly not perfect. Some of his life is incredibly sad such as the senseless murder of his father.
Jordan is the greatest athlete to play any sport. His athleticism was one of a kind. His drive was unlike anyone else's. His hard work was unmatched. He literally had no weaknesses.
"We did a great job guarding him (Michael Jordan) the 7 minutes he was out of the game." - George Karl (Coach of the Sonics) during the 96 NBA Finals, Bulls vs Sonics
😆 lmao.9:03 what a silky segway and you didn’t even know it. As you were saying where’s he from? He was stealing the ball 🏀 from his hometown team( turquoise and white uniforms) The Charlotte Hornets 🐝. I love ❤️ it!!!!
When she was like he hit another game winner, in my head I was like Shorty that's Mike, that what he does! lol But to be honest with you, as great as those highlights were, you really had to live through it to truly understand how Incredible and CLUTCH he was. No highlights can ever truly capture that man's greatness. I am honored and truly blessed to have witnessed his career. Thank you GOD!!!
Michael Jordan was the greatest player in the history of basketball no doubt, but you should react to his former teammate who was the best at... well let’s say “other stuff.” Look up a highlight reel for Dennis Rodman. He was a lunatic and there will never be another player like him. He wasn’t known for scoring, but for being a physical defensive player who played mind games with his opponents. Definitely worth the watch. It’s different!
Glad to see that as the #1 play. It is my favorite play of his. He first had to steal the ball on the Bulls side of the court, then took it up to the Jazz side, waited and made his move. The Bulls were down the entire game, and I thought at the time they were done. If that series went to game 7, I was sure the Jazz would win. But the Jazz didn't have Michael.
Michael Jordan is the greatest of all time 🐐 this video doesn’t encompass MJs greatness, you should react to the videos made by Joseph Vincent, either The Greatest video or the Air Jordan one. 🔥
I remember watching a lot of these games. On the number 1 play, I jumped up off the couch when he stole it from Malone, and I don't think I blinked until he hit the game winning shot.
@Courtney Coulston I'd love to see you do a reaction video of any Brett Favre (pronounced Farve) compilation. When he retired he held every major record that can be held by quarterbacks in football (many of those records are now held by other quarterbacks). He wasn't the most gifted, he wasn't the fastest and he wasn't the biggest, but he was my favorite to watch because you never knew what he would do next. I promise he will blow your mind. He was known as the "gunslinger" because he would throw the ball anywhere on the field at any time. He was also the quarterback of my team, the Green Bay Packers, for many years...so I'm completely biased.
