1996: Michael Jordan, Chicago Bulls vs. Toronto Raptors

[The51239]

a classic

[fgsm0]

That was when Sports where amazing

[masterofpuppets232]

To all the ppl thinking this is from the 96-97 season its not at all...alvin Robertson retired after the 95-96 season

[TehVanCity]

Jordan would've won if he had like half a second left.

[AirBentleyx]

Look At Them Concords :)

[jayjkl]

that was EPICCCC...just shows how good Jordan is...give him another second to get taht shot off and the Bulls would've won...

[jaymitch23]

@jayjkl actually if he pushed the ball up the court faster they could have one. but he was taking his time when he brought it up the court.

[jayjkl]

@jaymitch23 well regardless he was heading to his usual spot but lost the handle, then steve kerr lost the handle, so he wouldve waited the time out anyways, its MJ man

[UncleSamProduction]

This would be an honor to see Michael Jordan in Canada

[MrStarWARTS]

*After jordan had over 60 points in a game*

Reporter: "There's no 'I' in team

Jordan: "Theres an 'I' in win.

[hooshangmaster]

This video makes me feel old

[Papasmurf532]

this looks so much more entertaining than the games we see today, i think there were much more athletic smaller players than, now its all about size and having hops

[FIGURES269]

I'll beat his white ass....

[KnightCrawler2]

lol zan tabak 

[crazyaces222]

This is so cool. Because I was at that game ... I was 8 ... lol

[MrDarkstalker15]

Damon Stoudamire was a beast back then. The Raptors should have kept him for at least one more year until the arrival of Vince Carter and paired them together. That way, he's not solely responsible to carry the team. The same goes for T-Mac, should have kept him.

[crulio]

at 4.51 did oliver miller say "i'll beat his white ass" or "i'll eat his white ass"??

[lmayj9]

i'll beat his white ass

[JackHaynes30]

Championships

Chicago 6

Raptors 0

[whateverthehellz]

Can somebody please tell me what the deal with this 50inchvertical spam is? I see it on EVERY SINGLE BASKETBALL video on youtube. Are commenters paid to do this shit?

[FPSToronto]

they slayed the dragon

[dontplaywithme77]

bull shit dey dnt deserve to win

[CutterHistorical]

Greatest win in Raptors history besides beating Knicks in 01 Playoffs

[1mmortalx]

lol at michaels shot after the buzzer. the crowd thought it counted for a second so they stopped cheering

[jd55192]

4:50 "I'll beat his white ass!" Poor Wennington x)

[jd55192]

DA MIGHTY, MIGHTY BOO!!!

[WizardPiss]

4:51 "Imma beat his white ass" rofl

[smoshoneto]

i'm really happy that the raptors won, but the celebration made it seem like they won the world title it was too happy, and the commentators made it seem like it took a whole team to take down one man(mJ)

[woodandsosa]

MJ even made the amazing bank shot with .2 seconds after the game after Kerrs miss . Hahaah

[showstoppa01]

Beating the Bulls in a game during that season was a championship for that team. . Dat wha makes the 96 bulls Special

[alicefergusony]

det916 yo son come on if even I, alicefergusony am able to dunk, perhaps anyone can, I'm merely 5'10 geez. You can do it too, basically just follow a real workout like the one at 50-inch-vertical(dot)com, it will enhance your individual jumping ability and your basketball skills.

[h4z]

Top 3 moment in raptors history...up there with Alvin William's shot against the Knicks to win our first playoff series and winning the Atlantic division,

[LikeVids1001]

wtf!!! jordan still made that shot at the end!! this guy is truly the greatest!!

[adi1096]

Damn Jordan would make that crazy shot at the end...

[chapaev36]

I remember this so well. I was 12-years old and excited as hell to see the Raptors beat Jordan. It was like they did the impossible.

[ltuomela]

wow what a game! i mean damnnnnnnnnn

[CouchPotato4u]

They can talk as much trash as they want but if you don't walk your talk & loose the game, it's certainly your talk is nothing but trashed.

[EdmontonElite]

late 80s, all of the 90s, and early 2000s were the best years for the nba

[LILFREAk899]

man they over cheering they asses off.. yall won 109 to 108..mj would of busted u al.. wow one point big deal!!!!

[listenboy]

he still made it what a fricken G

[SFO14]

this was an awesome game...I remember watching it @ my buddy's house when I was a kid, and wasn't sure who I was cheering for. I lived in Toronto but was a huge Bulls fan...mixed emotions, but fun as hell to watch

[Mrthatboifromyoblock]

watch?v=J2iteIMlpOc to watch mj the great

[HonoreT35]

Man that bank shot out that end was out of this world!

[kensdad]

"i'mma beat his white ass" lmao

[PEPEelZAPATISTA]

how happy do you have to be to celebrate a regular season game over another team like this lol. throw in the confetti!

[UpTehCooch]

T.DOTT STAND UP!!!!!!

[forbasketballonly]

5:40

no one would ever help up an opponent in the nba today

[SoxChi]

@ :11 =nasty travel...

[Seoulmanaja]

Whats most outstanding about this is that Micheal hit that buzzer shot....lol...too bad it was a bit too late

[soultosqueeze28]

ＯＭＧ

He banked it in..Shoulda let him shoot a half court buzzer beater instead of a desperation 3 by steve. No offense to the all-time leader in 3pt %

[spike378]

wow the last shot! just wow!

[69points]

another MJ's demonstration !!

[CDubb2k8]

I remember this game. Im from toronto and when I saw this i went CRAZY! I couldn't believe we beat the great bulls. We always beat the good teams and lose to the worst.

[CARLOS778551]

@CDubb2k8 lol what a dickhead you are you fag!!that last shot by jordan should have stood!!!and so what if the raptors beat the bulls the bulls went on to post 69 wins that season and another win...what did toronto do?FUCKALL!!oh and by the way the defending champion lakers have been destroyed this year at home by utter shite teams!!the bucks by 19 and the grizzles by 21 at home 2!!!the bulls only lost this game by a single point!!the lakers are getting destroyed by hillarious digits!!!

[joli091]

top video könnte echt so schön sein wenn mich einer vor dem allein sein rettet

[joseesqueda1994]

@goodhiphoplyrics wow yes i agree good defense may stop jordan but y dident they ever beat the bulls in the finals cause jordan is the best

[drfunk1986]

what brings back so many memories is the fact that the Raptors court was the only court that was like that. You can tell this was such an expansion team at the time. Their jersey's werent solidified cause you can tell by the name tags on the back (someone in the design dept was high or somethin), and they were so happy to beat Jordan in a game that didnt matter.

[Brokewax]

LOL @ 4:52 "I'll beat his white ass" XD

[kryogenikz]

@Brokewax Yeah I heard that too....That was a great game.

[bishop102]

I remember all these players, I didn't start watching the NBA till 98 but I remember the Raptor roster from NBA In The Zone 98 video game for the N64.

[joseesqueda1994]

jordan is truly the best he was beastin it they shouolda gave it to him at the end i bet anything he woulda made the game winning shot

[GoodHipHopLyrics]

@joseesqueda1994 no they shouldn't of just "given it to him" at the end the raptors played hard as hell and his shot was late. it just goes to show that even jordan can be stopped by good defense

[CARLOS778551]

@GoodHipHopLyrics stopped?LMFAO!!!jordan grabbed the rebound spun around and shot how the fuck is that playing good defense of him you fucking twat!!!?jordan MADE the basket you wanker!!good defense means you make the person miss the shot or turn the ball over!!!and what did toronto do in this season?fuckall they didnt make the playoffs and the bulls got 69 wins and another ring!!!this loss was a one off,the season before jordan destroyed them!!!the lakers lost by 21 to grizzles on monday!!!haha

[GoodHipHopLyrics]

@CARLOS778551 i was talking about this game specifically, CARLOS. alright cholo, i'll put this in simple words so you can understand me okay? alright. go to 7:16 in the video. tell me that this does not show the raptors playing fantastic defense. i will break your nose if you say otherwise cause this is what won the game dumbass. part of their defensive plan was to play tight so they could bleed the shot clock and make steve kerr force a 3 at the end. jordan was too late at the end

[waihong001]

jordan's last shot was unbelievable though~

[overisa3]

Damn MJ was putting on a clinic 

[xekit]

awesome vid

[ChinnyChenChen]

ttttttttttttttttttttttttttt-do­t!

[dshiznitturk]

they had the sickest colors and uniform wtf happened??////

[terminator95]

Canada = Toronto All Major Sports. Were Canada's TEAM!!!

[AlexGomboc]

jordan is the best

[JNhelper]

these were the days when the raptors were actually good

[at1212b]

@JNhelper They would be wicked in today's game.. but the league was pretty tough back then.

Also notice that MJ walks off like nothing.. many today would run to the ref and cry about whether it was before the buzzer. 

[SamKalirai]

@JNhelper Well in '96 the Raptors had just started and weren't that good...but this was a great game nonetheless

[allenwebs4986]

det916 I m an awesome 5'9 chinese kid and I can dunk over people. Anybody can easily do it, just use the right training program. I followed the one at 50inch vertical[dot]com but any training program is good if they work that is... lol

1996: Michael Jordan, Chicago Bulls vs. Toronto Raptors

[edwinpuck87]

det916, usually I attempt to just remember just what it was like before I can easily dunk the ball. Soon after I practiced the training course program at 50 inch vertical (dot) com - my game has been increasing dramatically

[louiscannon527]

sik det916 this is admireable yo if you're interested in learning to dunk you need to start following this today - 50inch vertical[dot]com

cya #VIDEOPOSTERID#

[LightsROnButNo1sHome]

Also funny you mentioned Alvin Robertson....who just recently got busted for child sex trafficking

[LightsROnButNo1sHome]

"Damon Stoudamire was a rookie, who, in my opinion is one of the most underrated PG talents of our generation."

You mean one of the most underrated potheads. Whats even more fitting is he played for the "Blazers"

and i miss those reverse colored courts that broke out in the mid 90s. I also liked the jerseys with the huge logos. Maybe its just me.

[CavemanShelbs]

Great write up... video is horrid though.

That said, the Raptors in their first year were actually a team that could have done great things if they were in the East today. Alot of players past their prime, yes, but the mix of veterans and young talent was perfect. They beat alot of good teams that first year (including BOTH Finals teams) and stayed close in almost every game they played.

[rickdav36]

det916 Are you a baller? you have to check this out - (50 inch vertical [dot] com) - It's a specialized workout that will help you start dunking without even going to the local gym it's not required

1996: Michael Jordan, Chicago Bulls vs. Toronto Raptors

[boblloyd228]

man, ridiculous high-lights. det916 I particularly like the middle =) Could you believe that I recently got my vertical jump high enough to start dunking! I just used the the nba workout system over at 50 inch vertical (dot) com and managed it in only 2 months!

1996: Michael Jordan, Chicago Bulls vs. Toronto Raptors

[bobbuck5968]

yo, ridiculous high-lights. det916 I specifically like the end =) Can you believe I recently got my vertical jump high enough to begin dunking! I just used the a real training course at 50inch vertical[dot]com and did it in only 2 months!

1996: Michael Jordan, Chicago Bulls vs. Toronto Raptors

[boblloyd82]

yo det916, I am training to boost my vertical leap by performing the training routine over at 50 inch vertical (dot) com - and so far improved like 8-10 inches thus far but I'm only a a little away from dunking the ball It s still my second week thus far, any tips?

1996: Michael Jordan, Chicago Bulls vs. Toronto Raptors

[roseyblackdog]

i was at this game the best sportting event that i have ever been at

[andrewjeeves]

I wish the NBA would return to CTV in Canada and to CBS and NBC in the US

[guitar241990]

Whoever said garbage excuse of a team, you do remember 95-96 was the first year the Raptors were in the leauge right?

[TheAnStar]

the raptors were in last place that year and they gave the bulls one of their 10 losses they had all season. Huge upset!

[CARLOS778551]

@TheAnStar no they didnt you fagott so get your facts right this game was the 1996 97 season u wanker!!the previous season the bulls hammered the raptors at home with jordan scoring 17 points in 6 minutes for the win!!this was in the season where the bulls won 69 wins!!DICKHEAD!!!!

[CubbieBlue2008]

I cant believe Steve Kerr missed that three to win it? That was more shocking than the Bulls losing IMO

[johnsmithe064]

So my team mate det916 finally told me how he started dunking, he s shorter than me, he s only 5 6 but leaps over 8 inches taller! So he used the program over at | 50 inch vertical(dot)com | and increased over 15 inches in his vertical jump!

1996: Michael Jordan, Chicago Bulls vs. Toronto Raptors

[MWTCC]

that is quite possibly the ugliest court ever

[quinlanhenriquez51]

LivESPOrtSvidS  /d o t / c o m // l_i_v_e

Re: 1996: Michael Jordan, Chicago Bulls vs. Toronto Raptors by quinlanhenriquez51

[marioatlanta21]

[devantesworld]

[lusiotalento]

[nikedon]

Wow.

1995-1996 Rookie of the year

Damon Stoudamire.

VINTAGE.

[agenteayana]

I went to high school with Damon :) He was a great player even when we were in high school!

[jachnoon1]

sick quality

[humundy]

THX FOR POSTING THIS VIDEO!!!

[nba2020]

kerr no. jordan yes. but no. after the buzzer.

no wonder rod black doesnt call basketball anymore.

[coltraver]

if only they could get rid of leo now

[LutzakVideos]

ya canadas sport!

[moneyman237952]

how the bulls lost to this poor excuse of a team is beyond me

[jrblockquote]

another thing - rodman was ejected from this game and ended up with a 3-4 game suspension for criticizing the refs.

[jrblockquote]

wow - i was at this game. myself and 2 friends drove from rochester ny, scalped tickets and were way up in the upper deck. the skydome was rockin. i drove up to see the mj, pippen and rodman and enjoyed a great game.

toronto ftw. what a great city.

[dgthepackersfan]

HUGE UPSET! RAPTORS WIN! RAPTORS WIN!

[MaplekidFtw]

wow to fast man

[sukomadik]

omg i was almost crying watching this..... wtf is happening to raps rite now?

[LutzakVideos]

they'll be better next year

[munir99]

the theme at 4:20 is the best theme that ever played in the NBA ...back when carter was on the raps..those were the good days

man i cry everytime i hear that shit they dont play it no more.

[jeffreysam]

it's canada's version of nbc's roundball rock. gotta love it

[RyanSharp]

Haha!

Oliver Miller: "I'm a beat his white ass!" Not in a 10K, your not.

[eafanboyssuck]

rofl

[flashkidd21]

toronto raptors the only greatest nba team

[eafanboyssuck]

this is why rod black should stfu and do halftime recaps.... oooooooooH!!!! michael!!!!!! woooo! michael!! oooooooooo my!!!

even tho he missed one of the layups...

wtf?!?!

[JrocDaBx]

wow half the stuff they did then would of been technical fouls today...

[andyk6925]

kerr is so money

[Gubby007]

man if the thunder beat the celtics, i would kill myself

[eafanboyssuck]

thunder beat my favorite team...

[shabbirrizvi25]

NICE VID BUT U MUST CHECK OUT MY NEW VID -Toronto Raptors 09 intro (official video)

[chale111111]

i like how their court and jerseys looked back in the day. bring purple back!

[jafri998]

they wanna keep the red cuz its da only canadian team

[violentMarshmallow]

This game was a HUGE upset.

its like having Oklahoma thunder beat the Celtics, that's how big it was.

[eafanboyssuck]

good comparison

[Shoryuken612]

What a great game! The Raptors came to play and they were not going to let the Bulls push them around and intimidate them. And that Canadian announcer, Rod Black, he has a hell of a voice and I can tell he knows how to call games.

[teehee0897]

quality bad

[devlin15]

i was at this game. i would have been like 6 haha crazy.

[Kohlzy]

I remember that game, f*ck that was amazing...Bulls won 72 games that year and only lost 3 times throughout the entire playoffs...sadly that still might be the biggest win in my beloved Raptors' history...

[nemelkreves]

M.J-the best of all times

[shawnstewart1986]

I was fortunate enough to be at that game,then i got home and found out i had chicken pocks lol. true story, ill never forget that night.

[JeffCyr1990]

If Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, Morris Peterson and Mike James had stayed in Toronto, the raptors would be one of the best NBA team.

[Thien4]

Mike James???

You think the team could be big enough for all their egos?

[bedatulolaway]

any guys have a cam? i have mine in my profile G

[cokeia]

my husband's really love michael jordan than me. he love watching jordan 23 than watching me, hehehe!

[asdop]

probly because u are an ugly slut

[coltraver]

hhaahahaha owned

[h4z]

LOL harsh

[VidN00b]

asdop go get a life instead of feeling all high and mighty by dissing someone in the comments section

[yunglex42]

that was a sick ass court

[desiboy201]

Raptor year 08-09. wit J.O there unstoppable!!

[LaRapturaX]

That Raptors court was awful.

[drovadose]

the only thing oliver miller ,the fat fuck , could beat is an egg into a cake , i love how ballers always talk shit after the refs have broken it up , pussy boy go eat a dick lol

[T0mmyPL]

rotfl mj made a three pointer from the corner off the backboard at the end

[bankitdrew]

det916...

thanks for posting this. i'm a die hard raps fan and was just searching the team on youtube when i came across this little gem.

My first nba game was in orlando but my first every raps game that i went to was this one. at the time i was excited about the big upset but i never knew how big of a deal it was until i noticed people talking about this specific game years later.

lol... nosebleed section. I still remember so much about it though. bragging rights for being there still stand

[munir99]

does anybody remember the NBA on CTV?

cuz i loved that theme song so much and i cant remember it anymore

[patrik32]

Great Match I Want it on a DVD :D RAptor played with Big Heart

[jimmychuang]

MJ can do the most beauiful fade away jumpers.

[fubar221]

wheres dennis rodman?

[JEFFMAN90]

ma dad told me he was suspened for 2 games
