Michael Jordan 55 points vs NY Knicks

[TheLaxBro11]

what kicks is he wearin in this?

[LakerKev]

@TheLaxBro11 -  Air Jordan X.

[fluffynoses]

LOL knicks blow dick. michael jordan singlehandedly destroyed that franchise in the 90s lmfao

[mgavina23]

if that was kobe at the end he probably would've shot the ball. haha. 

[kooj22]

The "double nickel" game

[JoshPerrick]

Lately i was checking archives of movies at NBAPremium(.)tk and to be honest some great shots are there

[Amir883]

No one cares how good you are in the Regular Season. If that were the only measuring stick then Wilt Chamberlain is the greatest of all time with his numbers. But the real test of a player's skill is in the Post Season. Jordan excelled more in the Playoffs than any other person before or since. I'd like to see Kobe score back to back 50 point games in the playoffs. Or average 41ppg for the Finals with 4 straight 40 point games.

[Amir883]

It would be nice if people (and the media) would just wait for someone to earn the status they're going to get rather than give it to them and hope they reach the bar. After 1993, there were so many "next Jordan" players. Harold Minor, Penny Hardaway, Jerry Stackhouse, Grant Hill, Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, Lebron James. Let people accomplish something and compare it to players before them before we start talking about GOAT. And as of right now, Jordan is still the "Goat".

[Gman1818]

thank you for owning that young man anally

[CAL6591]

but then they werent as many good teams as there r now.

Kobe faces great defenders and he still puts up great numbers. Ppl back then couldnt match jordan. Now if Jordan was in his prime now doing it against now a day teams then ya.

i say Kobe is better but not by much,

[Thebatlog]

now a day teams are u serious... defense back then was wayy worse (ex: handchecking)

[aafrias]

I agree, remember those Dertoit, and Knicks teams? Those were some goon teams. They would not get away with that play against Lebron or Kobe.

[GunGemini]

NO GOOD TEAMS?!?!

WTF!!! The Pistons were beasts!!

the Blazers and Cavaliers and Celtics of then could take any lame Kobe team today and

WHIP

THAT

ASS!!

[pajamadude15]

@CAL6591 You are an idiot.

[iiiitonyiiii]

kobe is the only one who can be compared with michael jordan.....lebron is great but lower than mike and kobe......but still mike will always be #1......

[TeamDipset23]

Haha comparing Kobe 2 Jordan????

Kobe knows mike is bettr he says it in erri interview wen sum1 ask him so there is no comparison xcept 4 maybe Lebron but no1 else is evn close.

[Rodzilla97]

55 vs the 90s knicks is way way tougher to do than scoring 61 on the no defense playing knicks of 09

[umktrilogy]

kobe is better in term of individual skill, scored 61 in 36 mnts... michael never scored 61 in MSG... kobe will pass jordan 50+ pts game and 63 pts in 2 OT playoff game... michael was the GOAT, now is KOBE...

[abdcc]

GOAT means greatest of all time. Michael Jordan was and still is the greatest of all time. Not Kobe. And Kobe had great nights at times but if you look at consistency Jordan is more skilled and a better player than Kobe by a mile. He had 30ppg with 50% Fg compared to Kobe 25 ppg with 45% FG. He also had more rebounds, assists, blocks and steals. Then he had 10 scoring title compared to 2 for Kobe. 5 MVP to 0 for Kobe. 6 finals MVP to 0 for Kobe. 1 best defender to 0 for Kobe. Its not even close.

[sopa71479]

funny how kobe goes off on scoring against the scrub teams and never the playoff teams or the elite teams of the league

[deelucas87]

nigga if u hate kobe stfu cos we love both jordan and kobe

[andipipo]

I just copypasted mattryan's and escobar's answers to cbr4059 and deelucas87 because there's no comparison. Jordan's still GOAT! To prove it just watch the last play: tied game on the line against one of the best defensive teams with one of the best NBA coach ever! Makes THE PERFECT PLAY, doesn't go for basket. Not selfish, making his teammates better once again, like he did with Pippen, Paxon, Kerr! Not a BALLHOG, simply the greatest-and that five games after a two year break!!

[escobar60099]

Jordan did it against a Knick team 1 year removed from NBA finals. Ewing, Starks, Oakley under Pat Riley...just a week after away playing baseball in minor leagues for 2 years.

[Clegend24]

the move at 1:38......he owned john starks

[mattryan1]

First of all the Knicks were a good team when Jordan dropped 55 on them...20 games over .500 vs. today's five under. Second of all, hand checking was allowed compared to today's sissy league. Example: Koby had 20 free throw's last night...Jordan, 11 in '95. Lastly, after not playing an NBA game for a year and a half, Jordan comes back and drops the double nickel on the Knicks 10 days removed from his retirement. Jordan is the BEST EVER!!!

[crb4059]

Kobe just broke MJ's record from this game and Bernard Kings 60 point record at MSG by scoring 61. (2/2/09)

[deelucas87]

[abmmwl]

This game is ranked #5 in the book MJ's 50 Greatest Games.

[JRphenom42]

@abmmwl What's first

[siejezapierdalac]

when did he wear 45???

[Airman32292]

Wen he returned from playin baseball in 1994 he played in 45 for a while then switched back to 23

[purlywites1113]

Best game i've ever seen.

Until KOBE did dropped 55 in a half.

[vindo112]

yeah..big deal

[andipipo]

[chris2o4her]

i remember watching this game!!!! i was 9!!!!i love mj, had to watch his every game!!!!

[dipzydooer]

why do ppl even try to compare jordan to ANYONE. he won 3 rings, thought he was too good, retired, tried baseball, came back dominated got another 3.. he thought right. he's wayyyy to good to even compare to anyone playing right now or anyone who has played.

[dsharpshooter87]

too sweet for words

[RNE123]

#45

[Diego32akaD21]

wow. i remember exactly where and what i was doin the day i watched this game. is there any chance i can buy a copy of any of these games?

[malachisdad]

this was the reloading year, he returned, they lost in the playoffs, and then he did that three peat thing again. this was a classic year, when he returned with the four five

[infamousdx]

unbullievable

[skysurfer91]

classic return for mj
