Top 10 Playoff Performances: Michael Jordan

[GetHighOrDie08]

guys for all of you asking about "the last shot","the shrug after 3 pointer" etc understand that this is a PLAYOFFS Top 10 NOT a FINALS Top 10.....

[BeamerakaBhargav]

That guy jumped hella high at the end...

[gabifun13]

i love basket

[stallionplaya52]

Where's his last shot? Game winner in game 1 '97 finals? the shrug? god damn, 10 isn't enough.

[guellpark]

I think you should make such kind of video about each playoffs...

[MRehman25]

for #3... i love how not many people notice that Starks ended up falling over when Jordan turned

[mustang4sho]

Jordan never got tired lol

[TheStevebeast]

where is the Last Shot ?

[MrBrainiac25]

Where's his game winning shot against the Jazz in the finals aka the last shot

[darkmalfoy]

@MrBrainiac25 there's another countdown for The Finals. This is for Playoffs.

[JimShadyUK]

Love number 2, mainly to see the involuntary reactions of the opponents on the bench.

[Pelaitis]

#3 footwork reminds of michael jackson or something.

[MrWest411]

Chuck Norris can't guard Micheal Jordan .Hold on theres someone at my door.

[breaker343]

How much balls you must have to pull off that stun at no 10. Like magic said ''There's michael and than the rest of us.''

[DaythonMusic101]

i had to watch number 5 like 5 times

[rob23molina]

#5 says a lot about his desire. What a beast.

[rotzbur]

@rob23molina #5 is my absolute favorite for all the circumstances and the importance of this game! and ofc because of the line "who's game is it? it's michael jordan's game" - plain awesome

[carylonvoss3234]

devean3, I love basketball. I am simply 5'6 and I can dunk! I simply took this training plan at 50-inch-vertical[dot]com - anyone can do it

[imnotftw]

no. 2 wasn't a 360 lol he turned his back to the basket that's a 180. fool :)

[ronin29marcpano]

@imnotftw 90 180 or 360 its still awesome to watch... lol

[iloveicarly84]

I love these top 10 lists nba.com put together - makes me nostaglic for NBA on NBC

[Peter258]

GOAT!!!!!!!!

[dostcan123456]

There should be top 25 , not 10.

[DayTripper1025]

@dostcan123456 or top 100

[hunkinson]

He only has 10 playoff moments?



[jp3813]

@hunkinson WTF? If you make a top 10 best moments of your life, does that mean you only have 10 moments in your life?

[hunkinson]

@jp3813 dude it was a joke relax

[jp3813]

@hunkinson Well, jokes are supposed to be funny.

[batgo4o]

why this shit about the short guy and the 10ft hoop is on every vid gash...

[sneakafreaka23]

how could u not put the last shot? smh

[brussli]

wat is the name of the soundtrack?

[pwnmasteh]

Longley's pass on number 9 is awesome.

[mariov05mierda]

superman's in the building!

[69ways2die]

Number 10 is just inhuman lol having hands that big for his size and being able to pump fake like that is just unfair

[mtehrani7]

the final shot doesn't crack the top ten?

#6 was amazing.

[ydnic16]

i love this game!!!

[AccessDenied55]

0:13 to 0:18 IS PURE OWNAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[alvin081988]

even 1000 wont be enough!!!!!!!!!!! because he's the greatest player ever!!!!!!!

[qwerops12345]

Kobe's top 10 playoff performances are better!

[75samuel75]

@qwerops12345 He has ten? really? count them down for me please. He has ZERO impressive Finals games in the last two titles, he was a no-show for the Pistons loss...u get the idea. As far as Kobe putting "a stamp" on a series, I guess you have to go to last year's Phoenix series. So he has been able to dominate ONE playoff series in his career, against a team that plays no D. Bravo, what a closer.

MJ's consistency vs Kobe's during the playoffs are as close as night is to a day.

[Ldale11]

@qwerops12345 Can you take his dick out of your mouth long enough to thing. Seems like all that knob gobbling has cut off the air to your brain. Just #3 alone is better than anything kobe has. Kobe NEVER attacked the basket with the ferociousness of Jordan. That's why Jordan always seemed like a man on the court, while Kobe seems like an overgrown kid. And a kid who takes way too many bad shots.

[qwerops12345]

@Ldale11 ok

[Cscottrun53]

There should not be a Kobe vs micheal bcuz micheals like Kobe and lebron combined AND MORE

[amirfuji]

@1:43 "very few people on this planet that can do that". maybe only him in this planet.

[oldmanwithers1]

#6 is always the standout for me, I mean against four defenders, weaving every which way in the key, all to suddenly change direction and dunk through the middle of them, seems like he can do whatever he wants in that one

#5 is just pure heart however, thats the sort of dedication and commitment he had.

[jlfieldad]

I love the finger wag!!!

[DoTheDanwah]

I think Kobe Bryant has atleast 3 of the worst playoff performances ever. See every game the Lakers lost to the Celtics in 2008 Finals and Game 7 of the 2010 Finals. He will never be MJ

[Ldale11]

@DoTheDanwah I'd also add his horrible shooting in the destruction the Pistons put on the Flakers in 04.

[sera7ares]

what the heck??? Where's the game winner of 1997 Finals (game 1) and 1998 Finals (game 6), and the 6 three pointers in 1st half of game 1 in 1992 finals, and 55 points against the Suns in 1993??? Those should definitely be in there, I don't care what you bump off the list.

[Airman32292]

@sera7ares and the flu game

[nextbestrockstar]

this is what makes greatness

[mousematcher]

starks, oakley, and ewing dislikes this vid.. hahahah.. 3 dislikes. :D

[joeMcmilmil]

#5 really shows why Michael Jordan cant be compared to anyone else

[puffykilled2pac]

#10 just shows how freaking big Jordan's hands were

[poooopnat]

#1, was that to win the NBA finals????

[bigdaddymatty17]

@poooopnat No that was the 1989 playoffs first round against the Cavs.

[conanbdetective]

Laimbeer,Mutombo,and Ewing dislike this video

[schiro4]

number 6 favourite dunk ever

[DCozi123]

When I was watching it I was thinking that #6 should've been #1, but they just get better. It would be first on any one elses count down

[daninator13]

Jeez it mustve taken forever to narrow it down to just 10

[ThePhill98]

what aboput when he won it against utah

[joekob2013]

lmao at the way the guys running back on D trying to block the shot for #2

[steveslatonfan20]

#3 was nasty

[Henrydking95]

Lol Jordan dunked over Ewing

Jordan is #1

Koream Abdul ja bar #2

[Darksep03]

where's the buzzer-beater against the jazz in the 1998 NBA finals?

[CR9DAGREAT]

2nd best player ever (1st is Brian Scalabrine)

[TheDarkraven1990]

@CR9DAGREAT hahahaahahahaha super cool joke dude.. brian is my men.. he is soo dumbass athletic pathetic athlete.. maybe a bouncer in a bar or pornstar in playboy..haha

[CR9DAGREAT]

@TheDarkraven1990 hahahahaha

[reggiemillerapimp]

@CR9DAGREAT you fuckin retarted stupid bitch scalabrine is nowhere in the same league as jordan

[CR9DAGREAT]

@reggiemillerapimp i know it was a joke

[russelkeith]

@CR9DAGREAT how about adam morrison and darko milicic?

[LBJ1983]

#3 seen it for about 10000 times

[Nman950]

number 2 was the best

[goldenchild321]

#3 is such a classic play

[lileazye11]

i know its jordan and everything but i still dont get how he makes everything look so easyyy he makes nba players look like little kids

[75samuel75]

@lileazye11 Fundamentals, shot selection, great jumper from 15-20ft. Shot selection is the key though. Something Kobe Bryant will never come to understand, something most players today don't understand. No need to do a fancy move when you can just pull up for a jumper at the top of the key. Beats running down the lane in an attempt to dunk while getting a charging call.

[kurrabelo]

KOBE ain't nothin' on the TURE king!!!

[gaumerINK]

This list is ridiculous. These are great moments, but his BEST playoff performances? NBATV missed about ten other buzzer beaters to win games, his sick game, etc.

[4Nomy5]

Shaq and Dwight might call themselves Superman, but after seeing this, no arguing who the real Superman is!

[superkidruhl]

Hi my name is brett.d you might know me some day because I'm going to be an NBA when I'm older.I train with the high school coach and I'm 9 years old.

[superkidruhl]

Michael your awsome and how do you jump

So high?

[Rookietop]

#3 is ownage

[batmanrocks245678]

michael jordan dunks on patrick ewing was my favourite one of all time

[faiithe]

Lebron... what Jordan did on No.3 THATS WHAT A CRAB DRIBBLE IS. Not 5 steps WITHOUT dribbling.

[toophatpoyo]

"Whose game is it? It's Michael Jordan's game!"

You bet your balls it is.

[75samuel75]

This video is a perfect illustration what seperates Jordan from players who played before him, with him or that are playing today. The intensity and fire he played with during playoff time is unsurpassed. Number 5 says it all. If you were there to see it you know what I mean. And anyone who replies to this "KB rlz" and was born in the mid 90's , you have no business discussing basketball until you learn your history.

[tatoinglaterra]

Number 6 is sick

[mariko2294]

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

[PhuckEverything]

I'm surprised that the lay up against the Lakers where he switches hands isn't in here.

[TributeToTesla]

number 1 nice tricks.

[GibsonRock4All]

ROFL...

complete fail...

the nba logo is jerry west

[narutohearts99]

u retard, it's jerry west, not jordan.

[xavierlandry]

it's Jerry West's silhouette dude....

[absalom0412]

@xavierlandry

It should be MJ's silhouette. Jumpman!!!

[joon3701]

esse e o melhor jogador de basquete do mundo.que é :michael jordan

ele e meu jogado de basquete predileto

[MrTehbigcheese]

awesome list but whr is the 97 buzzer beater or the 98 final shot/??those 2 shud be top 2...mj is goat

[redtrain8]

number 10 is the best

[nrdf5]

10 is the funniest but number 2 sucks compare to the other

[JANEMBA235]

the best eva!

[hushg2000]

#5 showed what kind of determenation Jordan had in his blood!!!! GOD

never gaved up on the play, only the true king could do it!

[cod4playdem]

must be the short shorts

[theprofessor23]

where is the last shot vs. utah?

[dszgildfhs]

Are you serious? This was dubbed "the shot." Vs Cleveland. Legend has it Collins called the play for someone else, knowing the opposition would expect Jordan. MJ, according to Sam Smith's book "The Jordan Rules", put his fist through the board and said "give me the fucking ball."

[MasterThomers]

Even the Piston's bench was impressed my MJ's move at #2

[sunike07]

of course! you can tell Laimbeer was going to give Michael a flagrant lol but got out-smarted instead lol

[TheKakalas8]

He is superman!!!!!!

[Droog13]

#2 ROFL at Daly's expression. :) Thanks for the memories, Chuck, R.I.P.

[last9emperor]

#3 will always be jordan's best. he made starks, oakley, and ewing look like fools. i just love how starks and oakley thought they had jordan corner and then BOOM out of no where jordan spins the other way and dunks on ewing's face. god i never get sick of that highlight.

[epics7]

@last9emperor I think that the Piston one was the best. The transaction, to be able to avoid the defense like that and spin a shot in the air with your back facing the rim is incredible. The only person that I've seen do a better similar move is Kobe. And THAT move was sick.

[bobcharlotte]

#5 - he did foul there.. yes? it happens so fast i cant tell..

[YoungD1300]

yeh your rite number 5 waz a foul

[2nbasuperstar3]

nah it was clean

[Nr1337]

it was not a foul, he just slaps the basketball out of the attackers hands, at just the right moment

you can see that the attacker wanted to dunk and elevated without the ball, never felt a thing, no foul

[notsofunnyatall]

#10 and #2 was the best

[NBAfan1993]

wheres his shot on the jazz in 1998

[phenomforever360]

#1 and #4 were the best

[kkim5000]

#10 was hilarious. XD

[Khanhage69]

That is definitely God disguised as Michael Jordan!

[scottrag]

such a good defensive player

[Jumpman1989]

god in action

[bhouri]

#6 Ohhh my godness !! Never seen this before !!

[hetfledermaus]

the Cleveland Cavaliers need 1million miraculous shots from LeBron "copy cat" James to match MJ's legacy!

As for Kobe, he will forever chase the shadow of MJ.

[SforShoota]

That 3rd play that's on here...fuuuuck soo siiick!

[kspaintballer93]

pokemon u need 10000

[javaleira]

fuck you spammer

[heny3]

lol dude! I was just folling instructions man. that shit didnt even work!!!

[pokemonrules159]

only 10 for michael jordan? you need like top 100 performances....

[BassoNero]

@pokemonrules159 UR so right! I like to see here the ingame free throw line dunk on Laimbeer, that one was just sick.

[75samuel75]

@pokemonrules159 Exactly. Ridiculous playoff performer. The only shooting guards from the current generation who have played at a similar high level at playoff time for a few games are Wade and Iverson. They've had some moments of great play that were way above their regular season levels. Some moments. To Jordan it was every single series. Iverson went insane the year they reached the Finals and Wade has been a terror in few series as well.

[xianick]

@pokemonrules159 not 100 its 200..-.-

[TBlake34]

This is all you need to know about MJ: everything on that list was impressive, but they left out the switching hands against LA, the Threes and the shrug against Portland, the game winner against Utah in 97, and the last one 98, the play against NY where three Knicks slam him on a dunk attempt, he scores, then screams at Ewing while he's laying on the ground...

and there a bunch more that I can't come up with off the top of my head.

[seraphlgabri]

where is the move?

[Morgan9393]

Number 8 should be number 1.

[ThePhantomDuke]

Im suprised the shot he made at the buzzer against the jazz wasnt in there

[milkymike375]

they miss some good ones for every player i've seen. magic beating the celtics with a hook shot in 85 wasn't in there... Larry Bird "There a steal by Bird!!! Underneath to DJ he lays it in!!!" wasn't there...

[theshark1]

Ohio should sue for billions of dollars! Michael Jordan PUNISHED the Cavaliers for years. Craig Ehlo should sell doormats.

[Vinod222]

MJ had in his career only 1 game under 10 points which was in Cleveland and ever since then seemed like he played with a vengeance when he played there.

[undiscoveredmidget]

huh interesting... i never knew that

[manincontrol]

ohhhh he got bird on numb. 8 ima use dat move and 10.....oh and 3

[Artionis]

"Its Michael Jordan's game!" His airness of unstoppable offense is amazing, period! Jordan is thee only one who competes w/Magic in my book for "pure" greatness:) Jordan was truly great overall!! #23

[rewill17]

you got that right. whos game ist..its MJ's

[haparice]

(that was to ConiferTreez btw)

[morris234508]

where is "The Move" and "The Last Shot"?

[alkatran14]

he always makes the buzzer when it is the most impossibel shot at the last seconds to win the game.

I love him

[bashmo]

wow, MJ is definetly the best to play the game.

[JORDANRAMBO]

No. 10

That's the artistry and creativity of greatest of all time !! 23 !!

[elmolovescookies]

i wish i had huge hands just 2 do numbah 10, lol..

[badbj911]

Agree, 10 was the best .

[Blueskywatcher]

I have got goosebumps watching that. Wow! (Number 2 was my favorite... behind the back is SICK!)

[medzhymedz]

all time great. period.c;

[ry3304]

lmao i hate mike but no utah plays?

this list is a JOKE.

[Sbanders12]

Where is the one in which he switches hands against the lakers....91 finals against Magic.

[ConiferTreez]

lakers.

Magic are Eastern Conference, dumbass.

[haparice]

Magic = Magic Johnson, not Orlando. Dumbass.

[ry3304]

call me crazy, but it seems like nbatv purposely takes out the BEST play from each of the greats and leaves it out - magic's jr. hook, bird's steal, etc...

[medzhymedz]

come on man, it's MJ's video.

[raider8sox]

#3 and #1 are my faves =)...

[pats14fann01]

Fav mo... #8!! How did he get some of those shots against the Celtics in 86.... they were amazing!!!

[skipper267]

the music sucks

[JMFAJK]

i love that music

[cej291985]

where's "the shot" from '98? he scored 4 straight for the title! i'm amazed it didn't make it to this list...

[Imherboo]

it is not there cuz is in the list of "finals performances".

[crackdahack]

actually the actual "the shot" is the cavs killer that's #1 on this list

but i also agree with you, that was also listed as the #1 playoff moment of all time in the "60 Greatest Playoff Moments" series

what the f!!!!!!!!!!

[crackdahack]

oh yeah i saw the finals performances video, nevermind
