    all the greats were named michael: Michael Jackson, Michael Jordan

    @mmcdowell3 look at the rules now, anybody can score 25 points a game and add 8 assist and 5 steals and 10 rebounds, there is no defense. Jordan is better than Lebron and Kobe put together.

  3. hitmancoolio says:

    This video should make people realise that no one should be mentioned in the same sentence as Michael.

  4. flipman23 says:

    GOAT for sure. And then Gilbert arenas hahaha

  5. SweSide says:

    lucky are those player who have seen him play live in the arena on those greatest moment of is career “i was there” word

  6. JustTrueFacts says:

    When asked who was the greatest college basketball player of all time, Dean Smith said Lew Alcindor / Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

    Having coached Jordan and coached against Alcindor, Dean would certainly know.

    The Best ALL AROUND PLAYER look at the highlights

  8. SenorRonBurgundy says:

    MJ is the motherfucking GOAT. ( Greatest Of All Time)

  9. indman says:

    greatest player of all time, noones better. only guard to ever lead a team to dynasty status. that in the age of the big man. centers such as hakeen, david robinson, patrick ewing, shaquile o neil, alonzo mourning. jordan outshined all of them and took over the league like no other player has. now i understand there are a lot of kobe fans hating on this list. but keep in mind, kobe has never won jack without shaq, until last year. and last year they added pao. lol

    who is that girl beside jordan at the start?

  11. dolemitemoffo says:

    most of you kids probably never watched michael jordan played the game. show some respect you 14 or 15 years old “glowing backboard- funfair basketall-with players throwing the ball like and 1 mixtape fools” kids. there is no athlete that EVER played a game that perfect. forget pele, maradona, muhammad ali, ayaton senna and co. jordan took everything to another level. and about lebron & kobe.. future hall of famers.. great players.. but not close to mj, bird, magic, maravich, robertson and co.

  12. mmcdowell3 says:

    Before Nike and ESPN made more of Mike than he is, there was Oscar Robertson. Jordan played under pussy rules.

  13. jjbrettfavre says:

    This man (Jordan) couldnt do moves today that guys like LeBron and Kobe can do. That’s a fact. GOAT? Nah. You can’t say that. He’s top 3 for sure, but you can’t say #1. Check the stats, they won’t lie.

  14. chitown2251972 says:

    This man (Jordan) was doing moves 25 years ago that guys like LeBron and Kobe still can’t duplicate today. So there is no way possible that these guys are in the same class as a Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan: The G.O.A.T

  15. daedalx says:

    He’s alright. Not as good as me but I guess he worked hard for this title.

  16. donegan25 says:

    Anyone who thinks Kobe or Lebron could even compete with mike is wrong
