  • foul?? WTF man fuck that ref!!!

  • !!holly tolito!!

  • he is so good that even the ref dont understand that u can be that good

  • It's fascinating to see Jordan in the infancy of his reputation. It's like listening to Led Zeppelin in the winter of 1968-69. Before the hype, before he was "god disguised" as a human. You get to hear the raw reaction of the Bulls announcers as they witness Jordan inventing himself.

    That being said, if you pause it at 1:22, you also get the crappiest camera work in the history of the NBA. I mean, WTF?

  • Due to low resolution, they all look like Jordan.

  • Who disliked this?

  • jordan walked in the air at the end! call a travel ref!

  • Sick. Where were the Bucks playing their games in 1984? This looks like a county fair barn. Listening to the wave of excitement from the fans before the last dunk is simply amazing.

  • @fleis054 - Thats the old Mecca Arena. They tore part of it down and made it into a convention center. The Bucks moved to the current Bradley Center in the 90's.

  • *sigh* Owning the Bucks was one of J-bone's favorite past times. Being a Bucks fan and living in Milwaukee I couldn't get mad at him though.

  • did they say holy jolido?

    lol

  • That cradle dunk from the dotted line was sick as fuck!

  • Holy Toledo!!!!

  • LoL The Mecca

  • 1.24 the commentator says ''he is something''. HOW right he was..

  • @thoopsu

    11, 052 sold out and wooden chairs

  • wow that last dunk was just phenomenal omg i cant believe it

  • tht looked like the stansbury dunk at the end!!

  • I remember watching this game on WGN! Thanks!

  • "HOLY TOLEDO".. god i hate racist white ppl.. u can tell hes a bitch middle america CRCKA!!!

  • You hate racist people and call someone a cracker?

    And you didn't even spell it right. If you're going to be a racist turd, at least spell your slander right.

  • @adammanymoons sorry i can understand u with a cock in ur mouth.. how bout taking it out b4 u speak homo!

  • Comment removed

  • Nice to see some game context of that amazing & beautiful huge-hangtime breakaway cradle dunk by Jordan - of course;

    but how about that muthaf*ckin put-down by Woolridge! Damn!!

  • Truly the greatest

  • I dont think the announcers had ever seen a player of Jordan's "supernatural" caliber before. He was their team at this stage and maybe beyond. I mean he was a rookie here(2nd game). But playing like an all star. He was a freak of nature with a superhuman drive to go with the same physical abilities.

  • my god, this guy would take all top 10 spots in the top 10 NBA highlights of the night just for this one game!!!!

  • love this...and i'm a celtics fan

  • i agree these announcers really make me laugh :-)

  • who are these announcers? i like them.

  • With Jordan they had to start training the cameraman to follow. Will there ever be someone again igniting such a boost to the game?

  • commentator is having orgasm:))

  • That block that made Don Nelson jump on the court was ruthless. Clean as a whistle.

  • One of the best dunks I have ever seen!

  • only god can stop that man

  • jordan, best ever

  • The tenacity on both ends leaves me speechless....the guy was human...the energy consumption on both ends just tires me out...seriously...and to think there was one year where he avg 35ppg while shooting 53% and 3.3 stls per game and winning MVP, Def Player and a scoring title...gahhhlee..this guy is the total package...Kobe def has nothing on this guy...MJ just was more athletic and better overall..how many damn times am I going to emphasize on this Kobe is not seeing mj no way no how.

  • Tell 'em like it is, kobe biters cant handle the truth...kobe just started playing decent defense a year ago, he's been in the league since '96.

  • Heck Yeah Man. Kobe and Lebron are great players but, JORDAN. No one ever will be anywhere near him in ability or drive.I was a Bucks fan and followed him closely throught my middle and high school years and he dominated the Bucks and of course everyone else. I'm glad I was alive to watch him when he was in his prime. No one else has really been close (before or) yet.

  • how do you know "no one ever will be near him" i mean come on, do you predict the future or what, nobody though there was going to be better one than Wilt too, but hey look what happened

  • Comment removed

  • so you are saying you can predict the future, and there will never be a better player than Jodan in humdred of years from now?

  • Comment removed

  • yeah, you are talking about legacy Im talking about pure talent

  • Comment removed

  • @pheeeel17 I 90% agree with you, but I have to say that Vinsanity's highlight reels could rival his Airness...the difference between MJ and VC is that MJ had the heart of a lion, he was a predator and stopped at nothing to get what he wanted. VC might be one of the biggest wastes of talent, but he's got some sick flair when it comes to dunking and finishing in traffic.

  • Comment removed

  • VC's dunks were a combination of all that is good in basketball, power, air, finesse, all in one. I'll agree to disagree with you on the layups, but have you ever seen anyone else do a 360 reverse layup?

  • wow the commentators some times are speechlesss  i hated jordan but he is the best nba player ever kobe aint got nothin on himmmmm

  • sidney moncrief was all-nba every year, best 2 guard in the world. when dean smith was asked about michael jordan's pro prospects he said, "i think he'll be a sidney moncrief type". and in his 2nd pro game, michael jordan was absolutely bewildering sidney moncrief. look at them both after michael's alley oop dunk on him.

  • Absolutely astounding! This is the best testament to youtube. sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!

  • from 2:54-3:08 "Well here's uh, you know, one of those nice fancy dunks--I don'...most players don't have to worry about doing that, their just stretching to get to the hoop." The commentator on this clip was in utter disbelief as to the slam he had just witnessed, for no one since Erving had rocked the cradle as hard as Jordan did at the end of the clip. Astounding.

  • 3:01 is sick

  • HOLY TELEDO!LOL

  • mj was bullying the bucks in just his 2nd nba game!

  • madre mia ...que intensidad en el juego..defendia,anotaba y se adornaba con mates..el mejor de la historia

  • HOLY TOLEDO lol

  • Big Bucks Fan. But MJ had some highlights versus my Bucks. No doubt

  • 3:00 i saw a man fly

  • This is from WGN, great game

  • Who were the commentators here?

  • Milo Hamilton and John Mengelt

  • Thank you!

  • did you see from where he took off to rock the cradle;;

  • actually that wasn't a rock the cradle dunk...that was a reverse windmill going against his won weight....while jumping just inside of the free throw line. this dunk is one of if not the sickest dunks of all time

  • @waffleirontmacsplat it was a Windmill cradle :O

  • if you want to see a minature version of this dunk of jordan's that's just as impressive paste in this link watch?v=Jx48ZT_6lNA

  • Michael Jordan is the fucking man.

  • Back then 24 years ago, NBA fans had never seen a great talent like MJ. And now, 24 years after, even with the influx of "superstars" in the NBA you have to admit that he is still more superior in every aspect to these guys who are playing today.Today's "superstars" are having a hard time to win in the Olympics and the World Championships.

  • Well.. the game has developed overseas

  • And the quality of U.S. basketball(college & pro) either went down or became stagnant.

  • It is always better to hunt than be hunted. =) That is, the US needs this challenge. The game is improving if it sees improvement all over the world. Dang, I think China can be a force to be reckon with! ... ok, in like 10 years.

  • Mercy!!

  • That last dunk was sick!!, Rock the Cradle with extra movement from like 2 feet inside free throw line,

  • When you watch that in slow motion it almost looks like CGI. He just keeps going up.

  • This was his 2nd game in the leauge i think and omg you could just see how unreal he was. No one was doing that stuff.

  • ok im the biggest kobe fan you ever meet but he and jump and hang in the air like jordan

  • Man. Kobe hasnt got anywhere near the athleticism Mike had. Pretty much everyone knows that. Jordan had bigger hands, a higher vertical (48" to 40") and a hell of a lot more body control. If you compare one legged take-offs, its not even close. Technique, height, explosiveness, Jordan blows Kobe away. MJ had more athletic ability at 32 than Kobe had at 22.

  • finally someone sees my point. by looking you knw that he's studied mike. When kobe first came in he played nothing like now, his jump shot was even differnt. Mike is still in a different league. u can tell mike had swagga and i loved every bit.

  • That last dunk was absolutly rediculous! Thats one of the best in game dunks on the break ever just because of the movement, the era and its never shown. Unreal.

  • The quality sucks, so choppy

  • hey stxguy911, grevey is your dad? he was incredible. whats he doing now? still working in basketball?

  • Holy Toledo that was a great vid!

  • best basketball player of all time

  • best basketball player of all time

  • This Video Rocks Jordan schooled my Milwaukee Bucks. There will never be anyone like him. He changed this game. The N.B.A is a international empire thanks the the airness of M.J. Jordan comeback we need you. Can we get a 3rd comeback.

  • hes 45

  • Sidney Moncrief's knees giving him trouble. How sad! If he had healthy knees.

  • lol According to this guy Toledo is more holy of a city than the Vatican, Jerusalem, and Mecca combined.

  • he says it way to much

  • lol i like how the refs act like they've never seen people block from behind and the commentators don't know what reverse layups are.

  • i bet carter can't do that!

  • yo!! that dunk is sick at the end. no words to explain.

  • haha wow. bucks, #35, thats my dad. this is awesome thanks for this post

  • Is that really your dad? I might re-edit this to include his highlights if you want?

  • daaaaaaaaaaaaaaang ur dad prob got his ass dunked on lol ...but thats cool... shit i wish my dad got his ass whooped by mike=)

  • "Well when you can't get it on one side you just take it

    right on over to the other. Bingo"

  • !!!!ladies and gentlemen god is in the house.

  • terry cummings wow

  • Incredible air show from his airness, last dunk is impossible, a pumping cradle from that distance with bot hands!!!So smooth!!!

  • ridiculous

  • he had so much air on the last dunk for a cradle

  • The last dunk was crazy. Fromt that far away a cradle ? Holy Toledo. Far better then the cradle he dit in 88 dunk contest

  • This game gave us a peak at what was yet to come...

    The greatest player of all time.

    I love seeing these old Jordan highlights, brings back many memories.

  • HOOOOOOOLEY TOLEDO!

  • in that game he had 30 points. he scored 12 in the fourth quarter to give them the win.

  • Nop! He scores 21 points, 5 rebs and 5 ast.

  • Holy Toledo! Here comes Mr. Jordan! (Yeppers, that's right!) : )

  • Michael Jordan---the greatest athlete to ever come from the United States. And I liked Milo Hamilton's "Holy Toledo? too.

  • Many guys wouldn't be able to even touch the rim taking off from that far out let alone finish it off with a fancy contest style dunk with 2 hands.

  • Holy toledo!

  • Anyone have his first game?

  • best ever!

  • he took of from quite far hey?

  • Just shows MJ at his 2nd Pro Game is so much superior technically & in greatness compared to current best player in the NBA with all the experience. MJ was well nurtured at UNC program & molded into perfection offensively & defensively.

  • The old MECCA was a special place for the Bucks...during the 20 years they played there, they won about 80% of their home games there. This is in the era where the Bucks were the kings of the Central Division (along with Detroit and Atlanta), and the Bulls were just becoming respectable again.

  • whoever complains about the quality of the video from 1984 should be shot, you morons. Just be glad we have the damn video. They don't even have video of Wilt Chamberlains 100 point game in 1962 so just enjoy this vintage footage, ass.

  • herrre comes mr.jooordaaan ! - best ever... !

  • Great video. Why does the announcer keep saying "holy toledo"?

  • so true........ "not much to say about that"...........cause u cant freaking see it....cameramen get it together......i wanted to see a closeup of jordans hangtime

  • Assy video quality. Sucks.

  • classic sports netork will be showing bulls vs miami heat game 3 1992 playoffs where jordan goes for 56

  • I love what the announcer says at 1:19 "I'm gonna tell you something, there's not much you can say about this."

  • he had a very good all around first game.

    16pts/6ast/6reb at chicago stadium against the washington bullets. the bulls won it

  • The played the Washington Bullets at Chicago Stadium - MJ had 16 points in his first ever game.

  • Old school commentating! They called reverse layups "flipovers"! LOL

  • I love these clips of Jordan as a rookie. Incredible stuff and its funny too, how the refs and commentators had to adjust to this rookie that played in another league than the actual nba. "The ref is probably not used to such quick hands" lol

  • Yeah, there will be more games coming... I've just been pretty busy lately. Next may be Bulls Suns from 1990 where Jordan goes for 53

  • Jordan may've been better during the championship years, but he was more fun to watch and exciting during the early years. Seemed every other play was a highlight back then. Never been a funner player to watch then early Jordan.

  • Great stuff! I don't have this game so thank you! I love super-young MJ - every move was spectacular. Nothing like it - ever. Any more games coming?

  • We might ever see anything like jordan again. Thinkl about it this is his rookie season , his second game as a pro and he is taking it to cats. even kobe took a coupleof years to develop. The closest thing I have ever saw close to this is lebron james first game . but even he didnt average damn near 30 points a game like mike did in his rookie season. Micheal Jordan is the greatest period.

  • "They also drawed a foul." -_-

  • I love this clip to see the Milwaukee Bucks at the Milwaukee Arena, the Milwaukee Bucks last year at the Milwaukee Arena was 1987.

  • Yeah, Wool free-based. I read it in "Jordan Rules."

    It is a shame. I'm looking at some of those highlights, his athleticism is amazing and you can see it with the powerful one-hander he threw down and the touch alley-oop pass he hit MJ with. I've never seen an alley-oop pass that creative!

  • "Holy Toledo!"

  • that dunk was scary nice. did they win the game?

  • wow. up til now I'd never seen this before. The league just wasn't ready for jordan!! The refs werent ready, calling fouls on those amazing blocks. The commentators weren't ready, calling 'holy toledo' all the time and failing to call the rookie as anything particularly special. And, clearly, the opposition wasn't ready :)

  • Nobody in today's game can do that last dunk...it's a classic representation of his overall skill and athleticism...pre-2nd year injury may I also note.

  • Orlando Woolridge was such a physically talented player. For someone his size and strength to have such speed and agility was amazing. The only other player I've seen with those physical gifts is Shawn Kemp in the mid 90's. If he stayed with the bulls I wonder if he and Jordan could've won a championship earlier. I didnt know about the coke Julius1234 - thats a damn shame.

  • Yeah Woolridge had some crazy hops and good power/explosiveness. I love the poster of Jordan dunking on him later when he was on the Lakers -- Jordan just goes THROUGH him. I'm sure you've seen the picture. =P

  • Woolridge looked good back in the day. Too bad he let coke ruin his career.

  • Awesome video. CHeck out his first step at 24 seconds and 40-41 seconds. Ridiculously fast. And look at the height on that big alley-oop (you can see it better in other highlight tapes) -- it's one of the highest jumps for an alley you'll ever see. And the distance/body control on that last jam...wow. One of my faves.

  • u know what's crazy is Spud Webb jumped that far for a dunk in a game too, it rediculous u gotta see it, it's on here. i cant believe a guy 5'7'' could do that. and im 5'7'' and i used to have crazy hops, i was so close to dunkin when i was 17 but my knee was injured and i pl ayed through the pain and now im 18 and cant jump as high as i used to

  • nobody cares because we all know your posing of your friends (if you have any) and lying you could be 9 for all we know

  • That last dunk is ridiculous in the distance he jumped

  • I echo that statement. He almost jumped from the freethrow line and he always flared out his legs like wings. He really flew...Guys today jump high but Jordan FLEW.

  • You can't fly that far with without jumping very high idiot! MJ could get his entire hand above the square box. Do take it personal - you're not an idiot, it's just a manner of speach. You could call me dickdweeb and I wouldn't care. LOL

  • Thank You !

  • He is the god of basketball.

  • damn MJ was dominant !! that tip alley oop was superb

  • nice clip

  • Thanks alot!
