When 'The Next Michael Jordan' Came Face To Face With Michael Jordan 

If Michael Jordan played Michael Jordan, he would still win to prove himself wrong

**Harold Miner has a good first half** Jordan: I guess you could say I... Took it personal...

It’s love how Michael Jordan was doing all of these side-missions on his path to 6 rings. 😂

The fact that the league was already looking for the next Jordan while he was STILL THERE just shows how much of a wake up call that first retirement was for them

in my opinion the one thing every "next michael jordan" lacks is his mental toughness. Thats why kobe is as succesful as he is.

I got so tired of the "The next Michael Jordan" bull shit back in the day. After MJ retired the first time, the media went through junky withdrawals. They needed another fix.

I feel like this guy should be working for ESPN... not RU-vid, LOL

I actually feel blessed to have watched MJ's whole career.....I don't even try to explain to the new generation of fans how crazy it was watching him because it sounds like a Greek myth.....

Who else misses the “Trap sax” Music?

Michael Jordan could channel his anger into positive action, I think he’s a Sith Lord.

“The next Micheal Jordan” when Micheal Jordan hadn’t yet retired. Micheal took that personal.

"What do all these players have in common?" "This guy" - chills went through me

Harold Minor: exists Micheal Jordan: “and... and I took it personal.”

Jxmy: always until next time. Everyone: can it be now?

Kobe was the closest to Michael Jordan. The style of play, the drive to win, the output, the clutch plays and the worldwide fame.

One thing I see with Jordan is he knew how good he was and made damn sure that anyone who tried to challenge that got shut down. He was aggressive and confidant to back that up. I was a kid when i last saw him play in a live game but I remember Jordan was the best and no one has reached that level. I'll admit Lebron and Kobe both are great players of their eras but Jordan was as great as he was during a time when there were many greats of the game still active.

Kobe was always like early 90s Jordan. No one has ever looked like mid 80s Jordan.

Jordan will use ANYTHING as motivation. Even something as little and petty as this. That’s why he’s the 🐐

That block was SAVAGE AF!! MJ looking like Mutambo blocking Mugsy lol

The fact that everyone wanna be like Mike and everyone wanna compare players to Jordan, is just proof that MJ is the GOAT. 💯

Imagine if they hired this guy to do charts on the documentary

Harold: *is compared to Michael Jordan* Michael Jordan: Imma bout to end this whole man's career

I went to High School with Harold. He was the best baller I'd ever seen at that age. He was so disciplined and smart.

If you judge on the first 5 years alone, Grant Hill is one of the greatest ever. It's too bad injuries plagued his career. Not only was he a tremendous player, but also a decent human being and good role model.

Kobe is the closest we’ll ever see to Jordan

Mike is like the mafia, even if you’re not directly responsible he’s gonna destroy you on principle alone!

I’m not a fan of basketball, but I keep finding myself watching your vids. You’re a good story teller, very entertaining.

"I don't have to do this..im only doin it because It is who I am. That's how I played the game. It is my mentality. If you don't wanna play that way don't play that way....BREAK" 🥺- Michael Jordan

I hate when People say He's the next Michael Jordan. Why can't he just be himself? Let him be the first HIM smh.

Jordan be like: “Hell nah that’s ain’t me. Not even baby me.”

"Why'd you hurt him Michael, he's a MINOR!"

Jxmy you tell these stories so well!!! Love your work.

The media: "this is baby jordan" *mj goes to maury* "You are NOT the father"

There's something about his voice it's just makes u wanna listen to him for hours

Jordan said, “I’m about to end this man’s whole career.”

There will only be ONE. Michael Jordan, EVER. RIP, Kobe

They're will never ever be another Micheal Jordan ever period.

Kobe is the only one who lived up to the hype, and wasn't as hyped as any of them

Not sure If you will Ever see this comment Jimmy. But Thank You. Your voice, your vocabulary, and the way you tell stories actually got me hooked. I’ve NEVER cared for the NBA. But after watching Tons of your videos Religiously. I actually got into the game, and couldn’t be happier. I wish you had came into my life sooner. I will be forever grateful.

How beautiful was Michael's form and release?? I mean dear lord it is just a thing of BEAUTY!

they throw the word “next Michael Jordan” out all willy nilly

Imagine being capable to single handedly end people’s careers.

MJ is a savage..he scored 30 in the second half & kept him scoreless...Straight maniac 😂😂

Thank you for the content brother! Had never heard of this comparison. Keep it up!👏💪

They'll be saying "the next Jxmy Highroller" about basketball RU-vidrs....

“I don’t want to be the next Michael Jordan I want to be the next Kobe Bryant.” -Bean

Love your graphics for the "next Jordan" hierarchy. Thanks for taking so much time developing this video.

Another awesome video by JxmyHighroller...the goat of comparison videos.

"When being compared to the Goat, you become a kid instead"

I watched Miner when he was active. His offensive game was highly limited. His only non-driving offensive move was a crossover that fooled nobody after they saw it once. Jordan was like Neo in the Matrix--he figured out Miner in 24 minutes (as did the rest of the league) and that was that.

Its a blessing to have his whole carreer on paper, pencil and tape for those who come behind and want to put in the "berserk" mode on the court, thanks Jxmy for the pure gold, best regards from overseas, o7.

Just a quality video. Thanks for sharing!

Everybody: he’s baby Jordan! NBA: the next Michael Jordan! Michael Jordan: ....hold my hoop earring.

Jordan wasn't just a player he was the game😂

Mike had more highlights in one random half than some all stars have had in their whole career.

I love these videos Jxmy, I see you two ways, the statistician AND historian of the NBA. With good takes (backed by data) and reflection, not hot takes.

Idk why but watching Harold Miner’s college highlights gives me Coach Carter vibes

Harold Miner looks like Gary Payton's and Evander Holyfield's lovechild.

JxmyHighroller, you're a world class researcher and a natural-born storyteller. Thanks for doing your thing.

The eye test alone would tell you no. MJ had the best weight/strength ratio of any player I've ever seen. Everyone else looks like they're wearing ankle weights. MJ was just MADE better than everyone else. Plus, he was a killer. He took everything personal.

Who remembers when we had trap sax and we weren’t in quarantine 😪

Damn there were so many players that were labeled as the next Jordan and Kobe was the closest to ever get to him that’s an amazing feat

I really enjoy watching your documentaries I really learned a lot, they are very interesting, fact filled and informative.. and you really have a very special unique way of how you break it all down!

This is why MJ is the GOAT. When he is faced with adversity he turns the heat UP not down. He thrives when he is challenged. Even Lebron buckled under the pressure in the 2011 finals. MJ never choked in his prime.

I feel kinda bad for Harold. Especially when dude said he still had a picture of MJ in his room at his ma's house

basically anyone who was decent, “ThE nExT Mj”

I was oddly obsessed with Harold Miner as a kid. I don't know why but he was who I picked in NBA Jam and he became my favorite player. So much so I made my immigrant parents look everywhere to find and buy his jersey for me. I'm sure they didn't understand it or want to spend that much money as I was still growing, but they did and I recently found a picture of me as a kid wearing it. This video hit home for me.

Just wanted to say that was a really well done video. Kudos 👌!

Grant hill had injuries, the man could have been like Kobe except he passed more.

Damn, Jordan was a thing of beauty to watch.

Love your videos dude👍👍👍

You have to remember back in 1992, most casual NBA fans had no idea what made Michael Jordan well Michael Jordan. They thought he was just a dude that was super talented and could dunk and score. No one who didn't play in the NBA realized it wasn't just the talent, it was his obsession with winning. Even today there are fans that don't get it, you see kids on social media calling Jalen Green the next MJ. I remember 1992, I was a high school kid and SO MANY fans were convinced Harold Miner would be "the next Michael Jordan". Thankfully for me, our local sports radio host would shoot down fans that would call into the show saying Miner would be Jordan. The local radio host would say "no way son, Miner is 6'5, Jordan is 6'6 and the chances of somebody coming along with such freakish talent translating into the NBA will be so rare, and then combine MJ's winning mentality". Our local sports radio guy was one of the few people at the time who talked about Jordan's obsession with winning, since he understood it wasn't just the freakish talent, it was MJ's mental toughness.

Jordan mode is like the 9th gear on a race car while everyone else only has 5.

Although, Michael Jordan would “turn on” the aggression when driving to the hoop, it was Jordan’s ability to be graceful while playing that made him magnetic! Watching Michael dribbling the ball, while jogging towards the hoop...., then picking a spot on the court to leap into the air (appearing to be flying), was PURELY GRACEFUL!! That’s another attribute the other players mentioned in this video lacks. Jordan’s movements on the court was poetry-in-motion....., something the others tried to emulate but, failed to do. Either, you’re “naturally” Graceful or, you’re not.

You know you're good when 33 legends of the game are labelled as the next you and yet they still don't live up to you...

Your truly the goat when you can decide when you want to turn it up and torch evrything in your path and no one can stop you

“I’d don’t think he every became Harold Miner” Great quote...

Jimmy: we don’t say “the new Jordan” anymore Also Jimmy: Luka Doncic is the new Michael Jordan Edit: since no one gets it jimmy was talking about greatness not skillset

All I know is I went to high school in the same league as OJ and this was when Bill Walker played at N college hill for some reason and every 3rd play was a dunk lol I remember thinking they both are baby Jordan 😂 but OJ was a monster

8:07 I can swear I didnt watch the full video but let me guess He took it personal😂

Only kobe is close to jordan no other than that . His styles , the scoring ability , shooting form, even his fadeaway shots is very similar to jordan .

The word “torched” shouldn’t be used to describe a 10 point half

late nite seeing this. beer. sandwhich. real entertainment. the world outside. much love.

u are the greatest narator for basket there is! Thumb up for video!

There will never be another MJ

That “kid” Jordan torched is a 50 year old man now lol

If only Vince Carter had the same mentality as Jordan. God he was such a freak. One of those players that was blessed with incredible talent but couldn't commit to the work ethic.

Nice way to frame the first game between them, but I caught what you did with editing. The first several clips for "After the Half" highlights of Jordan teaching Miner a lesson were all from the first half. You can even see one clip showing the broadcast clock saying 2nd quarter, and another clip you clearly hear Marv Albert say "in the first." Don't get me wrong, you do damn good work, there is a reason I'm subscribed to your channel. Just a little heads up for the future with editing.

Who remembers before all the like-fishing comments talking about missing trap sax and not being in quarantine.

"So, you think he's the next me? Ok, fine. Imma show you he's not."

Amazing piece! 👏 👏👏

The next this, The next that. Everyone is one of a kind.

the reality is this: empty, mainstream, sensational media can make or break a professional athlete's career. and it is the bane of our modern existence. i say this as a former journalist.

Media: What do you think of Baby Jordan? MJ: The kid is not my son

It was a pleasure to watch Harold Minor do his thing.

There will never be another MJ!!! He is the GOAT period!!!!

How the hell was curry in “The Next Jordan” club 😂😂

Never have i ever heard someone say steph is the next Michael jordan

Never heard of Harold Miner until this video 🫤 And I grew up in the Jordan era

I haven't watched but one NBA game since Jordan retired. But I love your channel
