52 ASSHOLES DIS LIKE THIS VIDEO?! THEY DONT KNOW A DAMN THING ABOUT BASKETBALL. but hi everyone has the right to there own opinion... if they are full of shit!
Jordan Van Dyk, at 11/15/2012 19:02, says:
Just watched this in its entirety for the second time, just because I haven't in a while. What a great reminder of Jordan's expertise as a basketball player. This is something people should watch whenever they get the chance, just so there is no forgetting or diminishing of Jordan's accomplishments. Kudos once again Bruce on an excellent compilation of highlights, and of course for all the work you do on your website, youtube and on the podcast nightly.

Can't wait for Kobe to retire because he will be forgotten in ten years. Then people start comparing Lebron to MJ, and after that who knows. Lets stop comparing someone who is nowhere near statistically to Jordan, especially when you look at the playoffs and the consistency. The only thing they have in common is height and position they play. That's it. Jordan's game was very little flash and few bad shots, Kobe is all flash and terrible shot selection.

The Jordan Rules: Hit Jordan hard! The Kobe Rules: No handchecking!

Just to let you all know, I have a new channel called "BruceBlitzed" and I'm still battling the Kobe Bryant hype machine. Join in on the cause over at my new channel.

Sports wouldn't be what they are without commentating. I mean just imagine the Frazier vs Foreman fight without Howard saying "DOWN GOES FRAZIER, DOWN GOES FRAZIER" or the Jordan shot in the 91 finals without Marv Alber saying "OH A SPECTACULAR MOVE BY MICHAEL JORDAN." Sports and commentating are a perfect marriage.

this is why nobody comes close to MJ... when the going gets tough he just simply got 100x tougher... great video!

this guy deserves an award
samelhombre, at 09/09/2011 04:33, says:
Wow. This is awesome. I know he's the best, but it's kinda cool to watch to remind us how good he was (we get so used to watching these new guys play and stuff) and also to show those who didn't get a chance to see MJ play, see how good he was. Freakin awesome :D
zigal1818, at 09/07/2011 20:09, says:
Thank you. I am young and didn't have the opportunity to watch these games. I knew Jordan was good but thought that he was just a bit better than Kobe or something. Never seen why everyone calls him GOAT and just pure best. Thanks to you I finally was able to see him in action and to see why he is GOAT.
