New to DVD! Update your NBA collection with this classic title with a new branded line look featuring one of the greatest athletes of all-time. Value priced for an impulse purchase just in time for the start to the NBA season. Get an inside look at Michael at home, on the golf course and in the air. Features rare footage from his days at the University of North Carolina. Relive spectacular highlights from his NBA career and All-Star games. Enjoy slam dunks, gravity defying shots and more!It’s showtime! Come Fly with Me packs in 50 minutes of breathtaking basketball highlights of the man considered the greatest basketball player of all time: Michael Jordan. Produced in 1989, before Jordan’s first championship with the Chicago Bulls, Come Fly covers Michael’s middle-class childhood in North Carolina, his rise in the NCAA ranks with the University of North Carolina, and the first few professional seasons with the Bulls. But if it’s athletic wonders you seek as opposed to lots of factual details, you’ll be well satisfied. This video clearly was designed to celebrate, not necessarily sketch out, the man and his history.
Early footage of Michael will delight longtime Bulls fans. Included are interviews with family members, school mentors (we meet the coach who made the now-famous cut of Michael from his high-school junior varsity team), and 1980s Bulls coach Doug Collins (complete with frizzy ‘fro), and plenty of slam dunks, athletic ballet, and “Wanna Be Like Mike” charisma. Missing is mention of fellow University of North Carolina teammates James Worthy and Sam Perkins, as well as a decent hip-hop soundtrack (the music is early sports documentary cheezola), but these are small flaws compared to the man’s jaw-dropping aerobics. Footage of the slam-dunk contest alone–where Jordan captured his own goal of taking off at the free-throw line and dunking at the hoop (complete with legs bent back in Air flight)–will leave viewers grinning and shaking their heads. His energy is endless, his creativity self-renewing, and his athleticism graceful and magical. This video is a fun peek into the youthful Michael now so far behind us. –Karen Karleski

BOTTOM LINE:
This was one of the biggest selling sports videos of its time (1989), and for good reason; it captured all of the unbelievable moments, moves, highlights and dunks of a Young Jordan – from his days in UNC, to his historic rookie year in the NBA to the days when he was a scoring machine!
Witness MJ start the whole marketing mega-trend that (sadly) helped make all of these new young athletes the overpaid crybabies that they are today. lol

And if you’re doin’ drugs, stop it. Come Fly With Me captures the legend of Micheal Jordan in an exciting, and honest video. Fans of Jordan are priveledged to old commercials, and excellent NBA footage that demonstrates exactly why Jordan’s star shines so bright. Narrated by Jay Thomas – who does a surprisingly nice job – the video illuminates Jordan’s passion for the game as well as the pride in his family that drives him to succeed. It must be nice to be a natural at something…at anything; however, to watch Jordan take on the world’s best and make their skills seem childlike is an amazing feat. The video actually offers to viewers a incredible insight into life and hard work. Come Fly With Me is able to be enjoyed, and understood by fans of any age.
Mr. Jordan – your video is inspirational!!! That’s the ticket!

I have seen almost all of the Michael Jordan videos yet Come Fly With me is special. This is the only video that captures the essence of Michael Jordan in his prime. Jordan was definitely most breath-taking to watch when he consistently went for the daring lay-ups and the spectacular dunks. This video was filmed before Jordan was a world icon and doesn’t contain all the scrutiny and controversy that is present in such videos as Above & Beyond and Air Time. If you are all about the highlights, this is your video.
