I think Kobe Bryant is an awesome player. But he does not stand head and shoulders above his peers like Mike did. Jordan created moves, never seen shots, perfected the tear drop, reverse side layups etc.. the list goes on and on. Even people who werent' Bulls fans waited to see what he would do next! I feel such nostalgia when I see that commercial!!! : ) ...and I'm a girl!!!!

And he doesnt have 5 baby mamas!!! LOL!
People don't talk about it much, but MJ was also a great defender. His work ethic was second to none. He once punched Bill Cartwright in the mouth and slapped Steve Kerr for not giving 100% during practice.
On another note, you know this commercial is kind of old if you notice that the Gatorade pictured is still in glass bottles:)
This commercial is a classic! I remember watching this and I tried my best to be like Michael Jordan playing basketball. (But, my basketball skills sucked! So, I leave it up to the legendary who got inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame.)
How annoying is it that we can't accept that there will never be another Jordan- NOBODY will EVER be able to score at will from any part of the floor AND be the best defender in the game AND make everyone around him refuse defeat ( honestly, how many average players played out of their minds good with him?). I remember people thinking Harold Minor, Grant Hill, Vince Carter, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James etc... were all at one time the next Jordan. Comparisons to someone like him are ALL ridiculous.
Not really. Lebron has the all around game. If you compare them statistically I wouldn't say its ridiculous. When it's all said and done though he's at most gonna have to settle for 2nd best though imo.
My african american friend want to become next Michael Jordan. I believe him so much to make him a star. He failed. He couldn't shoot like him. I remember I bring my friend to watch olypmic game -- USA lost over puerto rico.
Now, He hated watching michael jordan videos. It's upsets him. I don't know why...
I remember being 8-9 years old trying to imitate Jordan's moves. It didn't work too well lol but that is what Jordan brought to the game. I doubt there will be another player in my lifetime that has the impact that Jordan had. I am just greatful I got to see him in his prime. Best Players ever 1. Michael Jordan 2. Bill Russell 3. Magic Johnson 4. Larry Bird 5. Wilt Chamberlin 6. Kareem Abdul Jabbar 7. Shaquille O'Neal 8. Oscar Robertson 9. Jerry West 10.George Mikan
YogiBear13..thats a solid list but u need to put kobe on there somewhere. you might be a hater, but at least show the respect for the best player in todays game
A Kobe hater? He is one of my 3 favorite players today and I feel the comparison to the best ever is completely unfair to the best player in the world right now. No one today is every close to Mike but you see flashes of that brillance with Bryant. He is already in my top 15 but he has to win one without Shaq to put him in the top 10.
YogiBear13...i definetely dont feel he was as good as jordan, but id put him in my top 10...but u make a good point about the championship without shaq
Jordan Brought and element that was missing to the nba, the only element that was missing!!! His popularity and fame will never be challenged!! His legend is too supreme!
perfect jingle, brings back those memories of spring watching the finals then meeting my friends at the park to play basketball afterwards, those were fun times.
he had better players you mean like pippen rodmen plus back then was not as competetive as it is now.Byrd played one year then left majic was gone who he had to apose him malone,miller,ewing,Robinson.Compare to kobe aposition Duncan,Nash,Nowintsky,bosh,etc and thats just some of the west.He has to play by homself with out bynum the lakers are a one man team and im a lakers fan.
When Jordan won his first 3 championships it was without Rodman. And Pippen could not carry the team by himself. Kobe had a Allstar team every year before Shaq left. Jordan had some good player but not as many as Kobe's had.
You have to be fucking retarded to say that Kevin Garnett, Magic Johnson and Kobe Bryant are better than Michael Jordan! That might be one of the stupidest fucking things I have ever heard!
I agree with your sentiment, but you have to be what you're describing to describe it the way you did. GROW UP, people on YouTube! Would you walk up to someone's child in the store and talk to them like that? =o\
you're not kidding. i drank gatorade, ate wheaties, wore nikes, wore hanes, wore jumpman clothes, and still to this day sing that song when i'm in the shower. mj was the best of all time.
does anyone know where i can find the gatorade commercial with the premise of the ad "what if great moments in sports history were an inch off?" with jordan missing "the shot", tiger woods missing his shot, if so, please reply
