This 20th Anniversary edition of Ultimate Jordan includes previous releases Come Fly With Me, Michael Jordan's Playground, Air Time, Above and Beyond, and His Airness: and that's just Disc 1! Tons of extras are offered on this 3 double-sided DVD collection including Jordan's greatest dunks, moves, clutch shots, and assists, a look at MJ's shoe promotions, slam dunk contest highlights, Jordan off the court, an interactive career timeline, and more. The big bonuses here are 5 complete games: (1) 1986 1st round, Game 2 playoffs versus the Boston Celtics during which Jordan scored 63 points, (2) 1990 game versus the Cleveland Cavaliers where Jordan topped his previous career high total with 69 points, (3) 1993 Finals Game 4 where Jordan dropped 55 on the Charles Barkley-led Phoenix Suns, (4) 1997 Finals Game 5 against the Utah Jazz during which Jordan suffered from the flu and still kicked [...], and (5) the 1998 Finals Game 6 versus the Jazz that was MJ's last game as a Bull. These aren't just highlights, they are the games in their entirety. The set is handsomely packaged with a booklet that includes motivational photos and quotes that would make for excellent poster material. For the astoundingly low price, this is an awesome bargain for the MJ fan.

All the other reviews here are for the first edition which came out about 3 years ago. This is the same as that edition which was Fan-tastic and also includes a third dvd and a bonus 1988 slam dunk content. All three dvds are double sided which makes it hard to tell what's on which disc unless you look at the table of contents in the box. Other than that it is a must have for any true nba fan because it has 5 of Jordan's top games included in their entirety. I mean it even has the intro and network theme song in the beginning. Remember when the NBA was on CBS in the mid 80s? Brings back memories of the early Bulls team battling the Pistons. The quality is excellent. They must have cleaned up some of the older games from the 1980s. The five games are the 63 pt game in Boston, 69 pt game in Cleveland, finals game against the Suns, the flu game against Utah in the 1997 finals and the final 1998 finals game. These games in itself are worth the 23.99 because they are just of unbelivable quality. It was like they played those games yesturday. There is no sign of age on the telecasts like some of those re-broadcast games on Classic Sports network. So you guys can throw away all those grainy games you recorded on VHS tapes from t.v. The 1988 slam dunk contest is also in its entirety starting from the introductions of the contestants to Jordan's post-dunk interview. I just wish it had more games like "the shot pt. 1 and 2", finals game 2 against the Lakers, and more games against the Pistons and Knicks. But maybe they are saving that for the 30th anniversary edition.

I doubht there is a single person in the entire world who doesnt know the name Michael Jordan. HE is without a doubht one of, if not, the best basketball player of all time. Jordan may not hold every record for the NBA but there is no denieing he is the best overall all round player there has ever been, weather he's taking off 15 feet away from the ring and hanging in the air deciding if he should dunk the ball, pass it off or just switch hands and lay it up to being a defensive player who can block the biggest and baddest, steal from the quickest or just smile at them and blind them with his charms, Jordan will live amongst the top 5 players of all time and forever be #1 in my book.

This DVD set is not actualy 3 discs, it's actualy 6, there are 3 double sided DVD's!

Disc 1 features all those VHS videos they brought out over the years that you have probably already seen - "Come Fly With Me", "MJ's Playground" & "Air time" then on the flip side you get "Above and Beyond" and "His Airness" which i'm not sure if I ever saw on VHS but its basicly a recap of the first 3 videos. Also on the other side you get bonus features of a few of MJ's top ten's, dunks, moves, clutch shots, assists, the greatest memories, music video trubutes, Jordans career timeline highlights, Michaels great eight and the best feature of them all, the DVD credits

on the other 2(4) discs you have full versions of Michaels greatest games. Disc 2-A is the 1986 1st round play offs vs Larrd Bird and the Celtics where his airness scored 63 points and really put himself on the map.
Disc2-B is the 1990 regular season game vs. the Cavaliers where Jordan scores his career high of 69 points.

Disc 3-A has two games, the 1993 game 4 of the finals vs. Phoenix where Jordan scores 55 points & then the 1997 NBA finals vs the Jazz in game 5 where he scores 38 points.
disc 3-B: Jordans final game for the Bulls in the 1998 finals in game 6 vs the jazz with Jordans last clutch shot to end a perfect career....errr, with the bulls.

There is also some DVD rom features on disc1 side b, its an interactive menu that you can choose to view MJ's career stats of regular season, playoffs & all star games. A trivia game to play on MJ, photo gallery, upper deck trading card pics, the demo version of NBA Live 2001 where you can play 1 on 1 only featuring Jordan, Kobe, Payton and a couple of others, install and play it, and also theres links to stuff.

I'm satasfied with the 6 discs, all I wouldve asked to be included would be the full versions of the slam dunk contests and the game where he nailed Mr. June against the Blazers with 3 point shot after 3 point shot.

I'd also have liked to see some of his stuff with the Wizards, but I beleive this DVD was made before 2001 when he cam eout of retirment again to help lift them, but what can you do.

I give it four and a half stars overall, itd be the perefct five if it had the above i mentioned, but hell, for the Jordan fan, this should not disapoint anyone.

I think its all in 2.0 sound, and despite whats written on some sites, there is no subtitles.

Without doubt! You really can't ask for much more, except maybe more of his greatest games. I would've liked to have Game 2 of the 1991 Finals vs the Lakers, Game 3 in the 1992 First Round vs the Heat, Game 7 in 1992 vs the Knicks, Game 4 in 1993 vs the Cavaliers, the 1995 reg season game vs the Knicks, Game 1 of the 1997 Finals . . . the list could go much further, but that's beside the point.

This 3-disc set has Jordan's 10 best dunks, assists, moves, & clutch shots, his 8 greatest moments, his 5 greatest games in thier entirety, all of his programs from Come Fly With Me to Air Time, most of the highlights from his 1988 Slam Dunk Contest, and there's still more! There's a few more programs I haven't mentioned plus DVD-ROM content. As I stated above, the only thing that could have made this set even more incredible would be more games. However, when 5 of the games included are his 63-pointer vs Boston, 69-pointer vs Cleveland, his 55-pointer vs Phoenix in the 1993 Finals, his infamous "Flu Game", and his final game as a Bull in Game 6 of the 1998 Finals, you can be rest assured that you have the cream of the crop.

Don't even think about it. Just click the "BUY" option and enjoy.

Being or not being fan of him, this is a really excellent deal! In this 6 set DVD collection you will find the very best content about "The best there ever was. The best that ever will be." Basketball player. Including new and old movies that has been released. Here you find "Michael Jordan's Playground" witch is in my opinion the most beautiful one. You will also find one of the newest witch is "Michael Jordan - Hiss Airness", this one tell you about the career life of MJ in a good level of details.

But in my opinion what really matter in this set is the full games in this set. Is the perfect selection of great games. Is incredible to watch the 69 point's game when he shoots only about 40 times!

I'm from Brazil and I bought it one year ago when it first released, because I thought was a very limited edition, but apparently not. So don't waste your time and buy as soon as you can. I highly recomment for those who are or not a MJ fan!

I apologize for the grammar mistakes, still need to improve my English, but I hope this review was helpful

This DVD collection is a must have essential to fans of the Jordan legend. All of his highlight videos are included, plus five of his greatest games. There's even a special section entitled "Jordans's 10 greatest Moves" hint: believe it or not, Jordans best all time move was not even a dunk, I've always thought it was his greatest move when I first saw it, and this DVD confirms and agrees with me!..(sorry Nets fans) This DVD will serve as the bar for all future arguments about who was the greatest of all time for any newcomer to the league. Instead of arguing, put these discs in and they will speak for themselves forever, to posterity!

If you're like me and you have been a Jordan fan since the beginning, you will love it, if you like Jordan a little bit this collection will make you a true believer that he was the greatest. The collection contains all of the videos he released throughout his career and the special features will make you say " wow, a spectacular move", "unbelievable", and "man he really is the greatest of all time". To top it off this 3 dvd collecetion gives you his five greatest games in full length, what more could I have asked for. After watching the collection you may get hyped up to go and play some b-ball yourself. This collection is fully loaded and inspiring. This is far better than any other dvds for any other player. It's a great collection to watch on a big screen, and for that matter, any screen. I couldn't have imagined not buying it myself after viewing it with a friend. Clean, crisp and collective, a great purchase for basketball fans, except for Jordan haters this collection will just remind you why you hated him so much. It leaves nothing left to ask for.

I got this product but there was no Bonus 1988 Slam Dunk Contest DVD with it. Is there anybody who couldn't get bonus 1988 SDC dvd like me?

I always have and always will be a Boston Celtics fan but I have to admit that for a period in the 90s I always enjoyed watching the Bulls and especially Jordan play. There never has and probably never will be an athlete that completely dominated his sport like this guy. Before I got this very good 3-Disc Anniversary set as is so human I forgot just how good this guy was and after watching Kobe and LeBron for some time recently I began to wonder if Jordan really was THAT good. Thankfully I got this set and after watching how he owned the very good Cavs and later Jazz teams it reminded me just how good he was and indeed Kobe and LeBron have quite some ways to go to reach this guy's achievements.

The best parts of this set for me are the complete games especially his final one for the Bulls although the picture quality hasn't been restored and so isn't great. This dvd set is a fitting tribute to the great career of a basketball legend. It is well packaged in a digipak cardboard design too.

Fans of basketball should look no further than this great tribute to the best that ever played the game.

Highly recommended!

The Ultimate Jordan collection is a rare find; a raw compilation of Jordan's life on and off the court that - convincingly - reveals the man beneath the player. It is a must see as it features successive documentaries--from his early childhood to the six and final NBA championship title, topped off with his 5 all-time games. His determination and creativity will be forever remembered in the Bulls 23 singlet. However his personality; charisma; and optimism are why he remains so profoundly loved today.
