When the greatest players from each era continuously point to you as the greatest, it means exactly that. Michael has set a virtually impossible standard of excellence to live up to for any other basketball player.
I just nostalgia'd so hard. Growing up with this on VHS, countless days spent wearing it out, then immediately running to the basketball hoop in the backyard, with the music still fresh in my mind. Here's to you, childhood
Im only 19 yrs old...and i think that comparing kobe to mike is simply ridiculous, micheal is the greatest to have ever stepped on the court, and untill i truly see someone go above him that will never change, kobe isnt that guy. It will still be many years to come..
I used to watch micheal's games as a youngster and would be in love with his playing style, even when the Bulls would lose, only being 6 or 7 yrs old , my day would be crushed after that.. I was a true fan, and still am
Who's Kobe? If you're going to talk greatness. Please let's talk Bird or Magic.
Forget Kobe the actor.
I don't understand, this people trying to compare Jordan and Kobe. You guys need to watch a lot more Jordan's games, highlights...Anything! But i understand, you guys probably are 20 years or younger...
yes i agree with this man rite here. u CAN NOT compare greatness. Jordan is Jordan! thats it, finally noone else, nothing else will ever match him. Bird is Great and magic, each to their own. Kobe is great but in his own way but nowhere NEAR jordan, magic and bird. They had it, something, kobe doesnt have IT, he has something else but those three are the god squad!
"you....you watchem.....and he do somethin.......and you be like.....hmmmm..now i wish he could do dat again!!!" - young Karl Malone cracks me up!..@3:00
I agree. I try to get excited with KBs playing. Maybe I do sometimes, but as soon as I watch a Michael video that's when I get excited for real. I cant help it.
i hear you,i just hate when there mentioned under the same breath and kobe has not given us that magic that jordan has,its why were watchin this some 20 years later.
kobe will never be as good as jordan but he is the only person i can compare him too look at kobe game and look at jordan game its so identical its not funny to me kobe gives me the majic jordan did but jordan is the original
i wear both kobe and jordan brand and shoes why are we argueing????? i think of kobe and michael as both an insiration of course jordan is better but kobe is the jordan of this era
ok,but even jerry west diagrees with u.when the nxt mj comes in any era there will b lil talk of mj period ,cause he is a sports hero.kobe is a great player, big diff.
their will never be lil talk of jordan he put a stamp on basketball that cant be touchedbut kobe so far has at least scratched the surface he is the closest thing to a next jordan their ever will be i dnt care about jerry west opinion im my own person and thats how i feel
i remember when my first dog had to be put down and my parents bought me this video the very next day. it definitely didn't replace 'hershey' but this is a great memory.
Michael Jordans Playground is a piece of my childhood. Born in the 80's, & growing up in the 90's, this VHS was a gift from my brother, and I watched it hundreds of times! Thanks for posting this vid.!!
Just like Dumars said 'I can't see 20 years from now on anybody saying 'Oh he was okay for his time' I think he's gonna be okay for the time before us, now and 20 years now on, he's gonna be, something that people look and say: HE'S UNBELIEVABLE.
WOW - thanks for this post! I used to watch this in high school before every game I played...MJ is the best to ever set foot on the court. This video actually brought a tear to my eye....Great Memories!! Thanks
The Eastside High tryout part on this movie was always corny to me. Btw, that dude that made the "high school" team with the jheri curl looked at least 35,lol. This is a great upload though diegoris23, you have the best channel for all the MJ fans out there.
michael jordan did not get cut from his bball team... he was on the sophomore squad and wanted to get on the varsity team. he did great at tryouts, but his position was already filled, so tehy went with teh other dude (jordan's alias name)
mj was not human!!! Anybody who could dare compare young jordan to young kobe or old kobe is nuts. Kobe vs young jordan haha kobe would get imbarrased. LONG LIVE AIR JORDAN FOREVER!!!!!
there will never be such a magnificent player ever in the history of humankind,i'm glad i saw him in his peak!,lebron...he is good,but he's too rough,u know,kobe...kinda like him,but those not have jordan will power...
Truly the greatest of all-time..when Magic calls you special, you know you're something..not just Johnson, but all his peers resepct the hell outta him..
the guys that got picked are from the singing group full force...those guys were in their 30s at that time...they were way to old to be playing as high school students
i still have this on VHS somewhere lol..
