Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
In January of 1999, the world's greatest basketball player announced his retirement from professional basketball, citing the lack of challenges for him from the game. No wonder. During his roughly 12-year career, Michael Jordan won six NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls, captured the MVP award several times, broke various records, and invented a kind of graceful, deeply competitive athleticism that fans had never seen before. Charles Barkley claimed he was not a role model, but Michael did, and the best of his career is well captured in this three-video set, Michael Jordan: The Ultimate Collection.

The earliest tape, Come Fly with Me, chronicles Michael's youth in North Carolina, his college years, and an early career with the Chicago Bulls. It's a fun token for fans who want to remember the squeaky-clean Michael who sported a thin layer of hair on his green head. Air Time takes us into the life of an established, more mature Michael with highlight footage, career insights from Jordan, Dream Team footage, and the Bulls first two championships. Most exciting are the highlights of the 1992 playoffs against the Knicks. Finally, Above and Beyond won't disappoint any person who appreciates the psychology of the athlete. Covering the death of Michael's father, his first retirement, and his baseball endeavors, the video focuses more narrowly on what makes Jordan tick. It lays out the mental determination and physical skill that Michael worked hard to reacquire in the mid-1990s, and which ultimately led to the Bulls' subsequent record-breaking 70-win season. For fans wanting a keepsake of the greatest innovator in the history of basketball, The Ultimate Collection won't disappoint--just as Michael never disappointed us. --Karen Karleski

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good Stuff!
The Michael Jordan Ultimate Collection is an entertaining and informative recollection of Michael Jordan's career and how it has affected his life. I think it helps that each of the videos was released at a different time. One is from 1989, another 1993, and the last 1996, illustrating his growth and ensuring thorough coverage of every year. In all the videos, there is a wonderful balance of highlights, family life for Mike, his economic impact, and of course, a detailed retelling of each season. ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - If you don't have this videos , you are not a basketball fan
If you like basketball you MUST have this video collection. The first one has the best Jordan dunks and his first years in the NBA. In the second you'll see how he made his game better and how he won his first threepeat. In the last one you can watch him when he decided to retire and then come back. Is the perfect trilogy. You can't miss it !!
