Modern-era hoop fans would not be aware just why Michael Jordan is regarded as the G.O.A.T NBA player of all time. Having won consecutive championship rings, and NBA Finals MVP, Jordan isn’t regarded as the best based on his scoring prowess or accolades but the way he motivated himself to stay on top of his competitors, game after game. A mindset which did not allow bow-down in-front of the giants of the game as in a resurfaced video, fans highlighted just the same.

Michael Jordan is regarded one of the most successful and dominant scorers inside the paint. Having the ability to shoot from anywhere on the court, MJ’s dunking ability wasn’t only skill-set which got his G.O.A.T tag. But the fact that, his crossovers, jumpers, layups and step backs were one of the finest. In a video that seems to be have gone viral, Air Jordan tormented 7’7 center just to emphasize his presence on the game.

So, who did Michael Jordan dominate in the resurfaced video, it is none other than Manute Bol. To those who are not aware, he was a Sudanese-American player who played for the Washington Bullets, Golden State Warriors, Philadelphia 76ers, and Miami Heat in the NBA. Manute was 7’7” tall during his career in the NBA and bossed the blocked shots stats. However, Jordan comfortably scored over him in a sequence of play.

In the particular sequence in the video, MJ can be seen scoring two points over Manute Bol and moreover winning and-one as well. Manute went onto winning the blocking charts (1986 and 1989) and it was considered a tough task to score past Bol, especially in the paint. A big man, who did not have the strength but was tall enough to just wave off shots coming towards the rim.

But as one can easily witness, for Air Highness, it seems like a cake-walk who rattled past the Sudanese-American player in order to stamp his authority. Safe to say, Bol was only one of the many players Jordan went onto dominate in the late 90s.
