    So no one's gonna talk about the length of this video. It's 23 minutes and 23 seconds.

  • @Bill-ou7zp
    The way Jordan's mom looks at him is a look of pure, unadulterated pride and love. That gave me chills.
  • @midwestyle
    "In all the videos, you never just saw me, you saw Scottie Pippen. Every championship." I love this statement. Not simply saying "I couldn't have done it without him." Its more like he's saying "We did this together." That's true partnership.

    For all the Last Dance Critics. First person he talked about and Thanked was Scottie Pippen.

    Somebody: hey Michael Jordan: so i took It personal
  • @ralph.aguinaldomd
    This is how you make a HOF speech. Instead of just thanking people, he's telling a story of his career. A lot of people may find it arrogant, but it is definitely genuine.

    "Limits, like fears, are often just an illusion" Words of wisdom that I definitely need now!

    23 Million views, 23 minutes and 23 seconds. The GOAT
  • The NBA misses Michael Jordan. There will just never be another Michael Jordan. To this day I still watch old games on YouTube of him because only Kobe could compare to him
  • @IzzyBob-tm5le
    So amazing that he just thanked all his enemies throughout the years. How cool is that. Definitely the GOAT!

    23 minutes 23 seconds. Coincidence? I think not.
  • @lionelsheja6381
    This man has thanked Pippen in EVERY speech he's given 😅.
  • @legunk
    there is no debate when it comes to the greatest of all time. not a single person has ever wanted it more than him and everything he accomplished in his career is proof.
  • @bsnhbksan
    First person he mentioned... Scottie Pippen.
  • I don’t think we’ll ever hear Vince Carter’s speech because we will all die, and he’ll still be ballin.
  • @DezWonda
    Iron sharpens iron.. that’s what I got from this speech. Anything that you’re going through right now is an opportunity to make you sharper and stronger. There’ll never be another hall of fame speech like this, MJ is forever the greatest basketball player to ever play the game and his level will never be matched.. ever #23👑💯🐐
  • I remember being disappointed when I first watched this speech because I thought MJ humiliated a lot of people instead of using that podium to be gracious and thankful to all the people that helped him get to the Hall of Fame like most other players would do. Having shed my childhood adulation of St. Michael since then, however, and knowing more about the man now like how competitive he is with all things, etc. I now find this speech heartwarming, sincere, funny and inspiring. MJ is just as competitive AF and he will eternally be trash talking every single one of those whom he thought have wronged him, all the way to the Hall of Fame and all the way until he leaves this mortal coil. Take no prisoners. Inspirational. What an athlete, what a competitor. Thank you for all the joys you've given us watching you play in real time. Happy 60th Birthday MJ ☺️
