[Soundtrack1000]

@ForeverYoung2708 Kabunn:)))))))))))))

[DezzyD90]

Thats why mj is a icon in the NBA.

[FoxyMama436]

0:15 -2:28 I love that song

[FoxyMama436]

@FoxyMama436 0:53-2:28 i love that song

[playstation1980]

What's amazing about that first shot is that the entire Detroit coaching staff (and the team most likely) knew the correct strategy to shut down Michael. Stay in front, no let down, watch for the quick pull-up, and watch your left. Even so, Michael being Michael he nails them. MJ defies all human logic.

[RDoubt96]

Lol Larry couldnt handle MJ!

[blznrayzn]

he makes stealing the ball look like an art

[blackshirts420]

Best part 5:00 !! What song is that?

[lufc77]

5.44 Kanye West? lol

[howrealizdat]

It's funny how KOBEs name always comes up even if no one mentions it. Ppl just need to admit they are both great in whatever order ppl got them in

[gamecast92]

i swear phil jackson looks a little like pau gasol. no lie

please tell me someone agrees

[yeon723]

the part at 4:47 with the creepy music actually got me scared of michael jordan for a sec

[Amad24pr]

4:05 lolness!

[THETOYOTAable]

jordan=the greatest

[liam222man]

1 person thinks kobe is better

[4EverCherry11]

thats pretty amazing. i just got cut from my basketball team.i needed this

[KingRey22]

@4EverCherry11 hit the weight room. trust me. the confidence it gives you is unmeasurable.

[Force2mj]

You say you know what you're talking about, but you clearly don't. You're just a meatball fan who hears any tired old cliche and runs with it without using your brain. You don't know the meaning of making your teammates better and you probably never will. Your exactly the kind of person ESPN caters to. A meatball fan with a limited amount of basketball knowledge unable or unwilling to utilize logic and easily susceptible to accepting the same old jargon.

[Force2mj]

What really irks me is people like you finding any little way to spout this nonsense. In a highlight video of Jordan dunking where he had a wide open lane to the basket you have the gall and stupidity to claim Jordan should've passed to his teammate. You then say he never made anyone better until Phil Jackson came along, which is just the stupidest damn thing I ever heard.

[Force2mj]

I don't think you even know what making your teammates better means. If you don't think Jordan was making his teammates better then there is no help for you. Jordan getting his teammates wide open layups and 15 ft jumpshots is my idea of making them better and that is exactly what he was doing. Scottie Pippen was given a great opportunity to improve by playing alongside Jordan, getting wide open look after wide open look and play against him in practice because Jordan made him tougher.

[Force2mj]

In 1989 when Pippen and Grant were struggling to improve as players and Bill Cartwright was trying to fit in with his new team, Michael Jordan was doing everything he had to do to make his team win. Midway through the season the Bulls asked the best scorer in the nba to take on a different role and play the point guard position. What did he do? He played it flawlessly. He was only concerned with making them a better team and he did that. He made every one of those damn players better.

[Force2mj]

Jordan was an absolute monster in practice just like the games. Unlike other stars he never took practice lightly. He busted his teammates asses daily in practice. He never let up on them. He made his teammates come to his level. He made them better defensive players and competitors. Jordan was going at Pippen the minute Pippen was drafted. Johnny Bach, Krause, Horace Grant, will all tell you Jordan made Pippen a better player.

[Force2mj]

The year before, in 1987, Jordan had no Pippen and no grant. He had a second year Charles Oakley and a bunch of garbage. Before the year started the Bulls were predicted to finish at the bottom of the conference despite having Jordan. Jordan lifted that team to 40 wins when they had no business winning 40 games. He made Oakley better, Corzine better, etc. He made them better offensive players and he made them better defensive players, in practice and in the games.

[Force2mj]

For you to claim that Jordan didn't make anyone better is such a crock of bullshit. it's a b.s. line fed to people like you by the media. In 1988 Jordan carried a very, very young moderately talented team to 50 wins in an absolutely hellacious conference at the peak of the NBA. He had very limited rookies, Pippen and Grant, a one dimensional Charles Oakley and role players like Dave Corzine and Brad Sellers. He made everyone on that damn team better.

[Force2mj]

He absolutely did make his teammates better. From day one he made his teammates better. He made Orlando Woolridge better, he made Charles Oakley better, he made Brad Sellers better and he made Scottie Pippen better. I've seen the Sportscentury documentary dozens of times and I don't give a shit about it. Jordan was a very willing passer early in his career and never got credit for it

[rossell30]

2:03 epic

[fruit84]

at 3:30 a rookie jordan should've passed up to the open man.. phil jackson was a great mentor to mj and helped him help his team mates

[Force2mj]

@fruit84

Should have passed to the open man?! WTF are you talking about?! Jordan had a wide open lane to the basket and he took it. Jordan averaged 5.9 assists in his rookie season with garbage teammates. Jordan's highest assist total came in 1989, a year before Phil Jackson took over as head coach. Phil Jackson being a great mentor to Jordan is really a bunch of bullshit. You're talking out of your ass.

[fruit84]

Great players make there team mates better even if they suck ass.

Young jordan was a sick all round player but he didnt' make any one else better even tho he put up 5 assists. Don't get me wrong he's the greatest players ever to play but he improved mentally as his career went on. It was just an observation

[Force2mj]

@fruit84

Jordan winning championships came all in the process of Pippen and Grant developing. The whole "Jordan learned to trust his teammates" jargon is really nothing but nonsense. The Bulls second and third most important players were still very young and developing and it was just a matter of time. The fact that you cherry pick one goddamn play where he had a wide open lane to the basket and say he should have passed the ball off is really ridiculous.

[fruit84]

First of all im a JORDAN FAnatic . I know what im talking about. Jordan's always been a Great player but before Phil jackson MJ would take shots even if he was tripled or doubled and didnt trust his team mates period. Phil jackson came in and ran the triangle offense and Equal opportunity offense (which Jordan hated at 1st). Yes, the team was still developing but there's no doubt Jordan became a better. Watch Sportscentury on Michael jordan. And stop taking the pIss.

[MrWARBUCKS24]

@mcneal78 the best shot he ever mad was game 6 of the finals to win it the shot against the cavs was a first round game how is that his best

[mcneal78]

The game against the Celtics in Game 2 of the playoffs (4/20/86) will ALWAYS be the best playoff game he's ever played, but the shot against Cleveland in Game 5 of the playoffs (5/7/89) will ALWAYS be the best shot he's ever made in his career!

[agentmichaelscarn69]

I tried to recreate that shot over Ehlo 100s of times in my driveway as a kid

[sportstalk23]

@agentmichaelscarn69 bwhahaha me too mj is the greatest ever on all ends of the floor and i have all these videos and wore them out lol

[jonabond]

The block at 4:06 is sick, never seen that before.

[PsionicFlux]

I remember watching this tape over and over again as a kid. The music at 0:56 really takes me back. Nostalgic stuff. Thanks for posting!

[chitownmo]

yeah. like everyday when you got home from practice or before you went to practice for motivation.

[PsionicFlux]

I hear ya. Great motivational video. If I were to coach a youth bball team, I'd show this video to get the kids fired up.

[Soundtrack1000]

do you know whis music is on the beggining?

[Soundtrack1000]

which music is?

[PsionicFlux]

I'm sorry, I dunno the song but some of the music in this video is also used in other Michael Jordan related videos produced by the NBA. Most likely they used a track library so the music won't be available for purchase/download. You can try contacting the producers and see if that gets your anywhere.

[UsnYInfBangGang]

Craig Eilo lmao tooo bad

[Soundtrack1000]

music is??

[sxyguyinwv]

the greatest leader in team sports ever the greatest of all time with his work ethic to become the best ever kobe and lebron have alot to do but michael never got to a 7th game in the finals and never lost in finals 6-0..

[akiraandmj]

[RichyJA]

[akiraandmj]

so that means he works hella hard? that makes sense too

[tigerwoods232000]

he dominates the game on the offensive end of the court but he also dominates on the defensive end of the court

[savagelakota]

Jordan is the GOAT no one will ever have six finals mvps and he has also three peat mvp season.one season he got all-star mvp,league mvp and finals mvp.

[TheNAMTHEBEST]

the greatest player of all time

[dhsatrain51]

4:30 to 5:01 was probably a nightmarish video fo a sorry offensive team goin against MJ and the Bulls

[EducatedSlang]

4:08 looks like derrick rose in the playoffs :)

[iLuVMeTaL4LiFe]

the 80's bulls line up was awesome

[Juulian83]

and pistons too!!!!

[mothersbam]

no, the 90s Bulls lineup was awesome....Jordan, Pippen, Rodman...are you KIDDING ME????

[kingbee10]

1:32-1:34 wow he posed in the air on that steal... classic mj!!

[jaboo82681]

I remember my uncle had a framed poster of that dunk from sports illustrated back in the way, I wish I knew where he put so I can jack it from him!!!

[Soundtrack1000]

do you know whis music is on the beggining?

[Duoearth]

He is truly amazing!

Just Unbelievable moves.

[lfctothedeath]

2:20 to 2:35...GOOSEBUMPS.

[tigidong026]

the assistant coach of the pistons is rightat 0:09 - "He wants to drive RIGHT". MJ simply did drive right and shoots it.

[Soundtrack1000]

do you know which song is until 2 38 is on the beggining?

[TimrodRa]

m j is da greatest to ever touch a basketball i thank god for blessing me to live in da jordan era

[Walib]

the most incredible player EVER

[jbrumundsmith]

What is this song?

[mrstuntastic]

That crossover over Larry Bird is classic. That was A.I. before A.I. MJ=The G.O.A.T. Nobody is even close.

[nali82]

I agree. I don't know why people say KB is better.

[5l33p1ngb00ts]

thats how i wanna be.... i dont really get a chance to dribble the ball though coz im centre but im quite good at offence and defence just gotta work on my shooting

[UncagedJDog89]

don't listen to people who tell you not to dribble or practice shooting. If i had, I wouldn't be playing college ball right now.

[SealAngel]

'Michael Jordan' just the name alone made opponents weak at the knees, forever the greatest!!!

[tylor2327]

i wonder when he became a great defender caz im a great offensive player and i want to be a great defender

[adfromlc]

you can't teach defense, either you have it or you don't when the game is on the line... it is a natrual ability he has and always had but no one ever noticed it because he razzled dazzled on offense to keep the focus away from his defense. Even in his UNC days his defense was soooooooo underrated

[chiasmafora]

wtf, the block at 4:07!!!

[KB240705]

i know holy smokes

[qwertyraven]

jordan secret weapon is the gum hes chewing im gonna start chewing gum while playin bball no seroiusly tho kobe cant lift his teamates like mj and mj was in a more talented generation

[johnnyjandal]

"The Shot" that 1 over craig ehlo... tht shit gives me the chills EVERY DAMN time.

[ZombieRebellionTeam]

@johnnyjandal Right, only Jordan would have made it.

[flandersfails]

I like how Chuck Daley is completely devastated after Mike's gamewinner!

[einerflog]

that 360 move by Jordan was in the 1989 Eastern conference finals

[jaboo82681]

he was dominate in that 1989 playoffs, almost leading the Bulls to the finals

[4rmc2mack]

greatness
