  • He's right, it's not about the shoes, it's about the 2% of a billion dollars they are fighting over in the lockout!

  • the kid at the last second was mike :O

  • @buddaman200522 LMAO, sorry skippy its just a brand.

  • what song is this

  • Comment removed

  • who that guy at 42

  • @2pacsthebest joe johnson i think

  • Where can i get this music? its awesome

  • joe johnson looks exactly the same LMAO

  • Only Michael Jordan can say, "It's not about the shoes" and make me go out and buy a pair of his shoes.

  • @that1prince hahahahaha

  • "It's doing what they say you cant." Thats what it's all about right there..

  • That was a pretty nice dunk by melo

  • This video gives me chills

  • then why do all your shoes cost over $100???

  • @cmbuvi92 because little malaysian children had to make them for 8 cents an hour for my comfort/fashion...duhh? for reals though, Jordan's the fuckin man.

  • simply inspirational

  • last 20 seconds were exactly what i needed to hear docs said i might not play again well watch me!

  • Comment removed

  • @loodak95 are you kidding me

  • Yo MJ! name Manny Pacquiao in your team Jordan list!

  • Lebron James is all about the shoes

  • @naijaboy22

    Na, he is all about himself!

  • goosebumps every time i see a young mj

  • @greathest23 have you ever played basketball? i think it's a little more than 1% talent. no doubt that hard work and consistency are very important, but god-given talent is a key factor. i'd say they are equally important

  • @samhagop or you could just work your balls off. i am by no means a natural athlete, but through practice and not listening to ppl who spit salt, i've developed a pretty reliable jumper/hook shot. as for defense, its all mentality and common sense.

  • mj at the end is fucking sick

  • It's not about my shoes. It's about knowing where you are going. Not forgeting where you have started. It's about having the courage to fail. Not breaking when you're broken. Taken everything you have been given and making something better. It's about work before glory and what's inside of you. It's doing what they say you can't. It's not about the shoes, its about what you do in them. It's about being what you are born to be.

  • @buddaman200522 we can all hear dumbass

  • @drewsurdaddy1 hey ass clown for some people when they read it, it hits home harder. that's prob why he wrote it!

  • "Its about being who you were born to be"

  • Comment removed

  • basketball is 1 % tallent and 99% work , hard work and consistency

  • can anyone give me the link of a mexican versionof this commercial i remember watching it like 6 years ago. Thank you. Dont be ignorant and call me a "stupid beaner" please :)

  • Strength is the ones that always increases:

    Velocity or speed of the movements are constant and often times ridiculous.

    It is actually rate of force when running faster:

    It's not how many steps, it's the amount of force per contact and that's what matter.

    Olympic lifters that well over 300 pounds destroys world sprinters in 25 meter dash!

    Eat your shit before you embarrass yourself!

  • @dpod916

    Your name is not R2FUK and you know nothing about "sports".

    Basketball is not sports. It's running with 9 more men regarding ball and 2 hoops.

    Eat dick before you say something.

    Unless you're actually journeying for strength and conditioning which IE busting your ass for 800 pound parallel squat!

  • @R2FUK

    Can you speak English? "Basketball is not sports"

    tell me , if "basketball is not sports" why is it that not everyone can play? Why is it that there are some people who are much better than others? If its so simplistically running with 9 other people, it should be a lot easier to make it to the NBA and it should take a lot less athletic ability to become a good basketball player.

  • Oh, I see you commented more than ones.

    There you go!:

    Everyone can play but not squat 600's or even 400's full and low their asses.

    Play is play, work is work. Give credits to me for quoting power lifting. Drink more kool aid son!

  • @R2FUK I go to the gym 6 days a week, one of my buddys is a pro body builder, he does 800 lb dead lifts and goes to the same gym, there are three other kids he works out with who all do the same weight. No one from the NBA goes to my gym to play basketball, seems to me there are A LOT less people in the world who are athletically gifted enough to play basketball in the NBA.

  • NBA doesn't prove your point. You're putting arguments that are well off the line. So what if you don't see them get to NBA. There are 6 billion people in the world, 300 players in the league and over 35 million players trying to get to the NBA at least to that estimate.

    But look, it's luck rather than skill. You may get everything you want but you're always bound by chance no matter how "gifted" you say you are you're bound by luck in space time scenario.

    Nice story btw, not true.

  • @R2FUK

    There also seems to be a lot more people in the world who are "artificial chemically" gifted that can become body builders and strong men. I would love to see some of these strong men try to guard anyone in the NBA and match their lateral movement, agility, speed, explosiveness, conditioning, ball handling, body control, and quickness ... or as you call it... "running"

  • Its Not About The Shoes

  • your an idiot

  • @R2FUK hi my name is R2FUK, i post retarded comments on youtube and i know nothing about sports

  • Comment removed

  • HAHA, removing your comment, after replying...

    You don't know strength and conditioning. Body builders jumps high! Over 35 inches standing vertical. Lateral movement all of what you've quoted we're based on movement efficiency and you can't really be fast at that alone I mean, no strength!

  • I've watched this commercial over and over and it continues to inspire me. Does anyone know the song???

  • "...it is about work before glory"

  • @thehellriser I think I'll tattoo that quote.

  • i dont know actually

    it maybe jordan in like a summer league back in high school

  • who were all those guys? i just recognized ray allen, joe johnson and carmelo anthony? but i got no idea who the other dudes were

  • Baseball - Derek Jeter

    Football - Terrell Owens

    at :21 - Chris Paul

    at :38 - Rip Hamilton

  • wow they look realy different. and who is the boy at hte end?

  • bodybuilding=Full of fucking steriods and meat heads, and not a team sport.

    Guess some pansy ass cheater like you would like it though

  • Who cares what they took!

    They are 10 times stronger than Michael Jordan.

    Their testosterone levels is the same distance between a monster crocodile and a little girl who got raped and killed by  a 14 year old boy!

    That's the distance between Jay Cutler's strength and Michael Jordan's strength!

    He'll just get pushed like a little girl!

  • jordan is a ATHLETE Ronnie Coleman is a bodybuilder on roids i bet. ronnie coleman isnt and will never be in the league jordan is. an athlete is someone who has physical skill to show more than just strength, artificial strength that case. jordan worked hard for his gift. show some respect you ignorant fool. i guess you thnk coleman is better than ali, tiger, mike phelps, lance armstrong , and roger federer right?? Cause they are REAL athletes not Fake dudes juiced up.

    HEHE

  • Comment removed

  • So what exactly is this ronnie coleman dude gifted at? lifting weights? guys in the WWE are more gifted than that clown. Dude being an ATHLETE is more than just lifting weights. MJ didnt need that type of strength cuz he was an athlete, he was gifted at other things rather than strength like jumping, speed and quickness. the point is: just geing strong doesnt make you an athlete. various concepts and hard work make you an athlete. Thats why ppl respect bball players and not bodybuilders.

  • ima stop arguuing with you cause youre missing my point. but nevertheless good video by MJ

  • SHUTTTTUP EVEN DUMBER THAN WUT HE SAID all u gotta do is eat right n start ligting nii body can do that body bulding is not even a true sport

  • Comment removed

  • all possible thumbs up!

    He played so great cause he was great!

    all others are just good and gifted players

  • that has to b the dumbest think ive ever heard .... basketball so the hardest sport to get into

  • ya but thats why michael jordan is the richest athlete in the world basically and ive never heard of a body builder doin as well as mj

  • if chris paul got 61 points, why would the comment be not breaking when you are broken, why would chris paul be broken if he got 61,

  • his grandfather died at the age of 61, in that same hood (i believe he was shot by some gang) so he dropped 61 in that hoods school. He was heartbroken, and he made it his strength...

  • he scored a point for every year his grandfather was alive he purposely missed a freethrow cause he was only gonna get 61 for his grandfather

  • You're fucking retarded...

  • Isnt ronnie coleman that fucking jucing boby builder? So taking lots of drugs to make yourself big makes u better then mj? Or any other sports player? Give me a fucking break! Never play sport, plz...

  • Basketball is not a sport.

    Ronnie Coleman is better than this dude.

    Lifts super light weight and specially over training for nothing.

    Lucky he's able to get up.

    CARDIO ABUSE!

    It's just luck this sport is overrated and pays to much!

  • Thats legendary at the end, thats some old ass footage but still legendary.

  • its marvin harrison from the indianapolis colts.

  • GENIUS

  • DAMMIT WHO IS THAT GUY AT 0:42

  • Joe Johnson

  • the one with the ball is joe johnson. the one after him is antonio gates or marvin harrison

  • name of the song please!?

  • inspring vid, but shoes do matter a little. i can jump much higher with my new nikes than my garbage pair that arent even bball shoes.

  • wow this just cancels out everything al harrington told me in his commercial

  • i used parts of this vid as my 8th grade quote. inspirational shit rite here and remember "excuses are the nails that build the house of failure"

  • this is absolutly amazing.

    i watched this video last month, and i listened to it.

    i followed it.

    It had huge effect. i am on a travel basketball team and now i am the best on the team. just work at it and all your wildest dreams r possible.

  • dude god made everyone equal.. the only difference is the skin color.just cuz ur black doesent mean u r an ape.

  • it is

  • does anyone know if the last highlight of the kid with number 12 is MJ

  • ya dat was michael as a little kid

  • one of the best commercials ive ever seen

    does anyone know the song?

  • I believe it is a remastered version of "Red Dust" by Zero7

  • this is tight

  • that guys not on arkansas, its rip hamilton in high school

  • Who was tht person #32 on Arkansas in the video around... 00:37- 00:41

  • i believe the guy is Richard Rip Hamilton. and the jersey is suppose to say Raiders, not arkansas. good day sir

  • its not about the shoes... its about knowing where you're going, not forgetting where you started...

    its about having the courage to fail.

    not breaking when you are broken,

    taking everything you have been given and making something better

    its about work, before glory and whats inside of you

    its doing what they say you cant..

    its not about the shoes, its about what you do in them... its about being who you were born to be..

  • The hottest part is when the camera is fuzzy, then it clears up when it shows the young Jordan.

  • I think this commercial is tight

  • its a great commercial, what he is saying is a perfect analogy for how life is. We aren't all born with a silver spoon in our mouth. One of the best commercials ever made by the Jordan Brand.

  • I'm black and I don't like MJ, but this is quite an inspirational commercial. APN1082 do you even have a high school diploma. I have a masters in psychology and I was a decent collegiate athlete. I ask you about your education because you place blacks in such a dichotomy that it would lead one to believe you never left that trailer you live in to explore the real world. Knowledge is power my Caucasian brother.

  • what song are they playing??

  • maaan u just jellouse dis nigger might be a nigger he'll buy u and sell u half price

  • APN1082 do you even know what a nigger is, you might have to leave your cold and lonely trailer and go to library and look that shit up. Hit me up when you find clarity. Hey you might fit the description. Knowledge is power :)

  • Those are racist comments...It is sad that there are people still like you living today.

  • and yea jordans whole message is beautiful even though its a shoe commercial.. ironic.. but still theres the message so take it how u take it

  • I love this, however its kinda funny how your slogan is it's not about the shoes, and your trying to sell shoes.

  • mmh119...why are you trying to have an intelligent debate with a nigger...im surprised these monkeys can even read your posts

  • well hmmm.. isnt mj a nigger?? but yet hes worth how much? and can make your whole year salary in 1 day? thats one hell of a nigger to me... get over yourself theres no pity for ignorance

  • How you gonna tell me I am wrong? kids get killed everyday for the sneakers they are wearing meanwhile they cost about 3 dollars to make in Taiwan.

  • dude shut the hell up you have no idea what youre talking about

  • well you told us for 20 years that it was "about the shoes" thats how you got kids on welfare in the projects to pay 180 dollars for them now its not "about the shoes?" i am so confused

  • these kids don't go to the store and buy these shoes, they go to flee markets and purchase them for like 50 bucks they are all over north carolina

  • i love how it shows pauls 61 point game

  • DEEP JUST DEEP best jordan commercial ever made.

  • REAL TALK MUCH RESPECT!

  • Michael Jordan is too real, the guy wants to sell his shoes but at the same time he is telling the truth "its not about the shoes", he is letting ya'll know that its about yourself and what you can do, and this does not only relate to basketball, this also relates to real life...

  • WHOS talking ray allen or mj

  • The Great One, Michael Jordan

  • what's the name of the song??

  • yea does anyone know the name of this song?????????

  • other vids of this say "Red Dust" by Zero 7 - this is a modfied version

  • love this vid my fav player chris paul

  • love this vid my fav player chris paul

  • I think someone could make a really good video out of this..

  • damn ryt!! very well said!!
