Now that we're past a million views I find a more in depth description appropriate. First off I am amazed at the volume of people watching and the overall positive reaction to the mash-up. Most of you have heard the message I was conveying, but if you didn't it's this. If you want anything in basketball, or in life you have to work for it. Struggle and sacrifice create that "fire" Jordan was talking about. If your stomach is full you have no hunger. For years the media fed Lebron James a free meal he didn't deserve, one of greatness without actual accomplishment. This video isn't saying he can never be great, it's saying put up or shut up. If ever there was one... now is the time to rise.

If you read the original description, this is in fact a mash-up and I never represented it as anything but. Counting all the views on stolen videos we are well over 2 million in just 6 days, a lot of the titles on the stolen videos are things like "Michael Disses Lebron" Which tells me people might get the wrong impression. So I'm setting the record straight, this is not affiliated with Nike, Lebron, Michael Jordan or any of their brands. This was created by myself, Tom Hinueber as an artistic expression. That being said I appreciate everything you've been saying in the comments section and will be making more videos shortly when I'm not swamped with work and school.

Thank you all, as a film student working hard at his craft, I cannot tell you how inspiring some of your comments have been to me.

Continue to enjoy and spread the word!




If you are an intellectual property lawyer for Nike please read the following- I am a fan of Nike and their wonderful ad campaigns, which is why I decided to create this video. I consider this video to be fair use, and an artistic expression which transcends both of the original commercials used to create it.

Shows how much you know...They were not already good...Jordan was drafted in 84 and they sucked for a long time before they got pippen, and they didn't have rodman until the last 3 championships, Go learn something before you comment...and the fact that you just said that each team had at least 2 great players also proves that it was a more competitive league back then....thank you kid..

Your whole comment was ignorant and pulled from your ass! Highlights don't do Michael Jordan justice, if you lived it and watched him every year of his career you wouldn't even dispute the mans greatness on the court. Today's stars are judged by how they compare for a reason. He set the bar! Lebron and Kobe are great but MJ is the greatest! Educate yourself son!

[arpeggios1996]

Well...by the comments on this section I can tell that everybody here has an insanely high IQ! Hell, you're probably all geniuses judging by your masterful abilities to use the words dick, gay, shit, idiot, etc. Truly just breathtaking to see such a convention of geniuses here in a youtube comments section. Bravo! Bravo! 10 out of 10!

I know that they're 6/6. Tell me one thing I said that isn't the truth. it's always the retard humanoids that are so aggressive in their language

[CRobMetro]

youre an idiot, wow, im honestly astonished by how stupid you are. im pretty sure the only thing michael is jealous of in the entire world is bill russels 11 championships, lebron's record is nothing compared to mj's. lebron's game is built on strength, athleticism and a pretty good jumpshot, nobody can compete with james physically that does not make him skilled. many players are better than lebron but few can stop him because he's huge and fast, michael's overall skillset was much greater

You Dumb Fucker Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls are 6/6 in the NBA Finals you stupid ass little boy if you're gonna talk some shit about the GOAT atleast know what you are talking about

Lebron is a better team player. Bird was a better team player than Jordan. And to be fair he was beat by the Rockets so no he would not have an 8-peat. I like his game - I'm just saying that he's not the goat

[Wilvin Crawford]

How old are you? 12?

[truknayr23]

Are you high on something? Comparing Jordan + Pippen + Rodman against Wade + Bosh + James. Jordan was the only ACE player in Chicago bulls. them Pippen and Rodman were no ACE players. Was there ever a game where Rodman took over and dominated like Jordan did? Hell no! neither did Pippen! But was there a time where Wade dominated and took over a game? yes! many times! Lebron or Bosh can do too! Jordan never ran and joined the likes of Barkley and Olajuwon to get a ring! He beat them all.

[truknayr23]

boyfriend? you are gay as fuck! GAY GAY GAY! no wonder you got butt hurt when i refuted your comment on Lebron. oh no... man i apologize i ripped on yo Boy Friend Lebron. Sorry mate!

[PeaceFree15]
