The Michael Jordan known to the world of basketball right now doesn’t paint the greatest picture. Sure, it is important to mention that a lot of it isn’t actually his fault. After all, he isn’t out on the court for the Charlotte Hornets.

However, for a man who valued winning over all else, the fact that his franchise has made it a habit to lose isn’t great.
But, what we’re here to talk about isn’t the Michael Jordan of today. No, we’re here to talk about His Airness instead.
Admittedly that may sound a bit confusing at first. But, we promise any and all doubts will be cleared very, very soon.
After all, there is a big difference between Michael Jordan and His Airness.
The His Airness era of Michael Jordan’s life made basketball look far too easy
Yes, when we say His Airness, we mean the era of his life where he was routinely bouncing out of the gym in the NBA. And boy, was it a wonderful era.
Now, many today don’t quite understand just how beautiful Jordan made the game look. It all looked so simple, and yet so elegant. Yet it’s something many haven’t even had the pleasure of seeing.
However, a little compilation posted on Twitter changes all that. And we’ve brought it right to you.
Take a look at the clip in the tweet below.

That is why he is still the Greatest of all time.
There have been countless amazing players that have come and gone since his retirement. But not one of them was ever able to make it look so damn easy.
And frankly, we doubt anyone ever will.
Michael Jordan’s most iconic aerial moment comes from the dunk contest
In recent years of the dunk contest, there have been some amazing dunks.
Dwight Howard did this.
Zach LaVine wasn’t to be left behind.
And of course, Giannis Antetokounmpo has done it all too.
However, who told them it was possible at all?
Michael Jeffrey Jordan, of course.
