Michael Jordan made his NBA debut during the 1984-85 season, and though we have an entire career's worth of highlights to remember one of the league's all-time greats, it's been a minute since we've seen what his game looked like during his first professional season.

What strikes you most is the speed and athleticism with which Jordan was able to attack in his early days, and it was those components of his game specifically that made him such a compelling player to cover -- as evidenced by all of the interviews and fluff pieces that are scattered throughout this 20-minute reel that is otherwise full of Jordan's on-court highlights.
