You are about to see Michael Jordan fill up the seats at a Clippers game, which was a rare sight in these times. The Clippers were a team that couldn't get out of the starting blocks, due to repeated injury issues. With that being said, the footage will show, even the worst team in the NBA played much better defense than some of the best teams in more modern years of the NBA. The Clippers absolutely swarmed Michael with double teams & triple teams all game long. They were double teaming Michael before he even got past half court, on many possessions. Of course, no defense can contain Air Jordan, and MJ put on a show for his fans in Los Angeles, California. Enjoy!

Blitz Sports Network PSA: Always remember, the individuals who say "Michael Jordan didn't face great competition in his era" are trying to tell you something IMPORTANT. They are trying to tell you that they didn't watch the Michael Jordan era, and there are much better things you could be doing with your time rather than listening to their takes on an era they didn't even watch. Would you go to someone for an opinion on Shakespeare if they had never seen the plays Macbeth, Hamlet, or Othello? Of course you wouldn't. Consider the source. Nobody who watched that era would trash the talent all around the league. Michael Jordan played in a great era with a great blend of fierce competitors, awe inspiring athletes, lock down defenders, knock down shooters, and ultra skilled ballers.

  • Los Angeles crowd yelling Jordan please stop trying to compare other players to this dude there will never ever ever be another Michael Jordan
  • You know you're the Goat when the HOME TEAM IS CHANTING YOUR NAME! Lol. Jordan was unreal.
  • @xudongliu7232
    Look at the way he moves, long strides in just an eye blink, leaving every defender behind. This is basketball epitome, this is black cat!
  • @alvintp
    Hard to argue there's anyone better than MJ. Such a spectacular and complete player with a fundamentally sound game. Absoluty zero weaknesses and 100% thrill.
  • People who don't believe need to see these videos so they can see why Michael Jordan is the best basketball player of all.Seriously.See for yourself.This guy is the most complete player to ever play the game.He is so strong in every aspect of the game.He has no weaknesses. Thankyou blitzsports for another fantastic video!
  • Jack Nicholson went across town to go see young MJ —-he knew what MJ could be.
  • @tonyrame7548
    young Michael Jordan's quickness really stands out, he is moving faster than anyone on the court, its crazy to think that anyone could stop him in todays game let alone back then when you could grab and hand check on the perimeter. MJ was out of this world and to this day we have not seen anyone like him, Kobe came the closest but that comp was to MJ's older game with fadeaways and shot making ability around the rim, young MJ could just destroy teams with his quickness and athleticism.
  • @DwainDwight
    I saw the Bulls play the Knicks @ MSG in their last match up of the 90/91 season, as I have relayed many times, there were 14 Knicks fans & 21,000+ Michael Jordan fans there that night. Bulls were down 19 @ half time. Then came the GOAT 24pt, 2 blocks, 3 steals etc... 3rd quarter. He was just on another level. For almost 40 years I have seen them all, and no one is even anywhere near MJ.
  • @mirvgeorge3290
    Jordan was so ahead of time watching these vids give me goosebumps
  • @hairjordan2620
    Hard to think of another player who had opposing crowds cheering for them like this
  • A road crowd giving a standing ovation to a player on the opposite team!!! Yeah, I've NEVER seen that before! 🐐
  • @rjam1974
    The reason why Jordan should have been a billionaire while playing ball way earlier. He brought visiting fans out to see him. His effort on both ends and putting on a show made him "must see" regardless of sports. Very few athletes have had that "it" element that he had.
  • That sideways or superman dunk! Never gets old. Its a beauty to watch. So simple but its poetry in motion. Thats his signature dunk! Tounge out!
  • @jbellflower83
    Jordan was so good he could turn your own fans against you. Greatness
  • This is absolutely crazy. The home team cheering one player. Gotta be the only GOAT.
  • Jordan always filled the seats with stars Jack Nicholson was a Laker fan and he's there Michael Jordan Simply the Best
  • @on24s40
    Best player to ever live and play this game
