THE PSYCHOLOGY OF MICHAEL JORDAN 

Don’t want his money, don’t want his success, don’t want his athleticism......I want his killer instinct and supreme overwhelming confidence.

Visualization, self talk, body language Get rid of negative emotions Bounce in your step, swagger, fire in the eyes and focus, act as if someone disrespected you Be present Overall body tempo, bounce, rhythm Model after MJ, don’t care about if people think you are cocky

legit addicted to this video

Great video. I would argue though that MJ's confidence began on the practice floor. His confidence simply carried over to the game. Instead of copying Jordan's style, create your own confidence that fits you best. Truly love the video.

he isnt licking his fingers because it tastes good. he is cooling them down because he is so hot, because he is on fire!

I modelled kobe in the 8th grade when I started playing and every time I get that look in my eye in close games , everyone knows whats coming

What are you seeing that's so deep about his bounce.........you're really into studying him.

Jordan and Rodman's confidence are different compared to the rest of NBA players. never seen anyone like them.

Wow this is better than any motivational videos. Wowww

Man, I've been looking for videos like this. Big props!

We all have Michael Jordan qualities it's just a matter of finding it and using it to the best of your ability

I love stuff like this. body language speak for it self. hard Work beat Talent. Being Smart beat Skills

It tells not only about the body language, but about the things inside the king’s head

I hope this channel gets 10000000 subs because its 100% true and you're telling secrets that few know or even pay attention to.

Jordan was master at his craft.. I'm trying to get my nephew at this point. He's a talented 8th grade basketball player. He will be the number 1 player when he's a senior in high sch. It's my job to get him mentally ready for this.

This stuff gets me pumped

I noticed that I can switch into the zone at will. I have like a different personality pretty much like Kobe with his Mamba Mentality and when it usually happens when I play bad or my team is down.

That was beautiful! Very well put, MJ is the G.O.A.T!

next video should be " the shoulder wiggles of Steph curry" it'll teach players how to dance off beat & still be confident.

Basketball Brain - Nice video, and I agree with many of your points. I also view Michael Jordan as one of the most confident players to ever play the game, but I wouldn't rank him #1, since I think that title easily belongs to Wilt Chamberlain. It's more difficult to put clips together in a similar fashion to display examples of Wilt Chamberlain's confidence on the basketball court due to their being less footage from when he played; there's not even a single video of his 100 point game in 1962 for instance. But from what everyone says about him and also from his own words and the way he carries himself you can easily see that Wilt Chamberlain is the most confident player to ever live. Wilt exuded confidence, and unlike Michael Jordan, it was always genuine confidence. Jordan used confidence as a weapon against other players when he wanted to dominate them psychologically, and would use friendship when that worked better like he did with Charles Barkley and Patrick Ewing. Wilt Chamberlain didn't need to use mental tricks to dominate his opponents. The man used to average over 50 points a game and dominated NBA greats like Kareem Abduljabar, Magic Johnson and Bill Russell. As examples to prove my point, I would like to direct you to two clips below. The first clip is of Larry Brown talking about a pickup basketball game between Magic Johnson and Wilt Chamberlain. Magic Johnson had several NBA greats on his side whereas Wilt Chamberlain was playing with a squad of UCLA freshmen and he was long retired and 43 years old whereas Magic Johnson was a young NBA phenom at the time. Magic claimed that Wilt's block was goaltending and it was game point so Magic claimed the victory. Wilt challenged the goaltending call and Larry Brown agreed with him that it was a clean block. To prove his point though Wilt Chamberlain challenged Magic and his side to a rematch, going to 12 points, and told them ahead of time that they wouldn't make a single shot. He blocked every single shot during the next game and his side won. That is extreme confidence to tell a squad of NBA greats like Magic Johnson, James Worthy, Byron Scott, etc. that they won't score a single basket on you and to then prove your point by blocking all of their shots and winning the game 12-0 at the age of 43. The clip is below: /watch?v=PN0Q3KcKA_E The second clip below was shot during a 90s All-Star game where Clyde Drexler and Wilt Chamberlain are being interviewed on the sidelines while they watch Michael Jordan, a young Kobe Bryant, etc. play on the court. Wilt is asked by the reporter, Craig Sager, how many points he would score in the NBA of the 90s era and he says that with the softer rules regarding what constitutes a foul, etc. that he would average around 65 or 70 points. Keep in mind that during his prime years he was averaging over 50 points a game, so it's not an outrageous boast at all by him. Also, there's a funny moment in the clip when Wilt Chamberlain pretends like he's paying Clyde Drexler for giving him false praise. /watch?v=TCAtn0dPi8E Lastly, I will direct you to a video which shows clips of Wilt Chamberlain when he used to play while people who knew him talk about how great he was, including a moment when Arnold Schwarzenegger talks about how strong Wilt was; how he was able to lift him easily and how he lifted a ton of weight in the gym like it was nothing. /watch?v=iwvdsi6gLl8 Wilt Chamberlain was probably the most physically gifted specimen to ever play the game of basketball, which is one of the reasons why he was so confident. When your confidence is based on facts, like being stronger, and better than everyone else, it's much easier to display it on a consistent basis. In the video above, there's a clip in there which shows Wilt Chamberlain standing next to Muhammad Ali and they are comparing their hand sizes. Even though Muhammad Ali was 6'3" his hand looks like the hand of a child next to Wilt Chamberlain. Wilt had the largest set of hands in NBA history. Surprisingly, Jordan ranks at #2, but he had abnormally large hands for his height, which is one of the reasons why Phil Jackson gives the edge to Michael over Kobe; Kobe has much smaller hands whereas Michael had huge hands so he could manipulate the ball easily and trick players with his one handed pump fakes. foxsportsradio.iheart.com/articles/the-locker-room-486404/the-largest-hands-in-the-nba-12467252/ Jordan pump fake compilation: /watch?v=ltPYXdtBXnU (having huge hands enabled him to do this)

Love Jordan! Great video Basketball Brain!

This is so true. Just thinking with confidence can change your life.

Great vid, Michael was truly a once in a lifetime player

Really enjoyed the break down of this vid on confidence.

You are a man that is acutely aware of the details. /Salute. Virtuoso!

Woow amazing video. The game they don't talk about

So grateful I found this channel *subbed* much love from Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦

I watch this everyday before work! : )

Ever since i was young i could see the difference in his demeanor especially the drive in his face if you couldnt see it then in my opinion you just dont understand

Michael Jordan is The One.

This was lovely..hey I wanna model Kobe and be that next great SG after him..I always use the fadeaway and footwork and my friends think I try and play like him and they're annoyed...Idk it makes me feel better.

Excellent display vid on MJ swag.

oh my goodness

Fright nights I perform like Mike.. any one, Tyson, Jordan Jackson

An absolute phenomenal video!!!!

Learning how Jordan thinks then learn how he plays

JR SMITH = DA REAL MVP

this like church, preach

you could always tell when jordan was feeling it by that bounce you were talking about... once he started that, you were toast

Key to a death stare, is Focusing your eyes, without mentally focusing .

I fully agree with you, because you understand the subconscious!

Damnn this video helps me a lot!!! THE FUCK IS THE CONNECTIONS BRUHH!?

Someone show this to Paul George!!!!!

i would say that before you start telling yourself all these compliments, id say be real ans be hard on yourelf if you suck, then yeah as time goes on, staying real still, youll get better, then eventually you will aautomatically say those things to yourself because they are real and true.

Great vid. All facts on and off court

Great video man can we get to a 100k

I have an unstoppable fade away jumpshot I have tunnel vision when assist the ball I have a strong safety mentality when I defend the ball on the court I rebound the ball like an animal and I want the game winning shot all the time because I thrive under pressure

He does this when he puts it in but what does he do when he misses?

thank you so much !! wonderful really

I am a soccer player but this video I am searching for and it's great but it's a bit dumb , so the question: Will I seem dominating or like an alpha even if I am smaller than the most?

I see this in Luka a bit

can you tell me what to add instantly to my game please?

i look in his eyes i dont see fire i see eyes. nice vid though

I think he is just celebrating these particular experiences as many other less talented players do. He did not do this more often than less successful players. In fact, controlling and concealing emotion whether positive or negative was more a part of his game than not.

Lebron, since he left miami,he doesn’t play great defense except 2016 nba finals and you want to be considered as the GOAT😢😅.

Kobey has the same

This video had a lot of credibility until Johnny Manziel was brought into it. 😆

Confidence

Yo

600 like

coke

Huh Bird and Isiah were as confident as Jordan

Damian Lillard kinda has that efficiency of scoring 50+ points with over 60% from the field

oh my goodness

This is so far the best

All about the bounce !
