Actually that's a flawed misconception. Jordan had some of the biggest hands in the NBA. He could palm a basketball like most people can palm a tennis ball.
Jordan was fleet of foot. Had one of if not the quickest first step in the history of the NBA. His handles and ability to play with the ball like it was puppet on a string is quite amazing really. Watch more Jordan to see this. His handles were nice, and no where near the below average rating you give them.

Should that make him a great ballhandler? Kobe's ballhandling makes Jordan look like Mark Madsen.

No hard work does, but having natural born physical gifts is a good anchor. I also disagree with you regarding the Kobe comparison, but I'll spare you the trouble of a debate since this isn't about Kobe afterall. It's about MJ and how truly special of an NBA basketball player he really was. I mean just watch some of those videos. Jordan was doing amazing things from 84 through 2002 in the NBA.

23AJ I think you shouldn't argue with him about how Jordan's a king compared to Kobe because he wouldn't read it at all.
The 2nd video had a really, really melancholic song. I don't understand why he would put such mournful guitar tunes in there.

It just shows you how great Jordan was on both end of the floor. I don't think we'll ever see another MJ.
Thank you 23AJ for posting this up, i've already gone through 4 videos and will finish the rest.

True, and I'm fine with his fondness for Kobe. Heck as you can tell by my signature I believe Kobe Bryant is the best player in the NBA right now. However I'm not in the camp that it's KOBE > ALL Basketball players ever. Kobe isn't even top 10 all time. Let alone the GOAT.
As for the song you're talking about, is it the one where Jordan is playing against the Lakers ? The third video? If that's the one. I like the music, it give's a very warm nostalgic feel.
