Bulls vs Suns 1993 Finals - Game 4: Michael Jordan 55 points

[BostonSportsTV]

"The day before game 4 of the Bulls Suns finals with the Bulls leading the series 2-1. Michael and Charles Barkley went golfing. They played 48 holes of golf. And Michael bought Charles a $20,000 diamond earring. Johnny asked MJ, “what did you do all that for?” Michael responded, “he won’t get in my way the rest of the series, what’s $20,000 to me? Charles thinks we’re great friends. I hate that fat fuck.” Jordan dropped 55 in game 4 and Barkley never touched him once."

[Dkouts57]

@MrEdongzki

[helenlundeberg]

"Charles had that diagnosed" nice line Marv

[idoletulle]

Unstoppable fade away........

[rmur23]

They should call this the "And 1" game.

[Vader0190]

6:04 How quickly they forget

[MrSampsonchan]

MJ legendary performance ONCE again

[24CAIN]

RICHARD DUMAS .. DAN MAJERLE NEVER STOOD A CHANCE

[kgarner9510]

6:40 what is the point of this highlight

[KingRam33]

For the people who say Kobe is better then Air Jordan, Jordan averaged 41.0 ppg in this finals series (The Finals Record), I like Kobe but I've never seen him get 40 points or more in a finals game. Kobe said it best when he called Jordan "The Master", nuf said.

[KingRam33]

Jordan is the god of basketball, Kareem is just jealous that a non center, shooting guard/swingman gets more props than he does at being the lord of basketball. Kobe couldn't do what Jordan did, even if Kobe wins 8 rings by the end of his career he would've done it with a very good 7' footer everytime.

[FoxyMama436]

the best scorer of all time

[Mraloneandsad]

what a move by richard DUFIS

[qrj1991]

his will to win is what makes him the greatest..when he decides he's going to win, he WILL NOT LOSE

[RAV52]

Ahh, so this is what you have to do in the NBA Playoffs/Finals to be considered the Greatest of All Time... Lift your team to a higher level and when the situation calls for it, completely assert your will and take over the game against great competition... Are you listening Kobe fans?

[KQH8]

I actually liked this Suns team, they had depth and were able to rotate players as well as having a decent bench, but even with all of that they still lost to Jordan.

[qrj1991]

hes the greatest

[triklops]

too easy

[mj4everbulls]

Danny Ainge is a bitch

[MichRockHop81108]

@mj4everbulls not exactly but I get what your saying.

[mj4everbulls]

@MichRockHop81108 No you don't

[MichRockHop81108]

@mj4everbulls WOAH youre such an intense guy better not fuck with you huh? You MEAN he cant lead a team and that he only has rings because of bird parrish and mcchale and dj and shit RIGHT? Or are you going to say some other funny shit about hes actually a chick. Whatever danny ainge is better than you.

[mj4everbulls]

@MichRockHop81108 No you are a chick that gets offended when I call Danny a bitch. You both bitches. Now get fuck out of my face.

[MichRockHop81108]

@mj4everbulls OOOOOO get the fuck out of my face. well I'm not going to get the fuck out of your face hows that you little snot?

How about fuck off you panzy ass little girl how about what the FUCK ever I didnt aay shit to you and your all fucking pissed off what ever fuck off you nigger,

[MichRockHop81108]

@mj4everbulls If you really are a darky please let me know so I can laugh about how inferior you are in society. I hate niggers like you and MJ. You want me to keep responding? Keep saying stupid ass shit you fuck. How about fuck off? You little fucking brown piece of evil, with your crack houses, and your ugly girls. Black girls are ugly, you know, if you are black and have a moma I bet shes fat and no one can understand her. How about fuck off nigger.

[mj4everbulls]

@MichRockHop81108 Hahahahaha So you are an angry racist bitch who likes Danny the bitch. (keep wasting your time calling me black or whatever you want to. Because I'm not black and it doesn't offend me in anyway.) In case you are wondering what I am - Go ask your mother who she's been fucking her asshole for the last 6 months. Tell her it's that guy who always calls her Bitch while coming inside her. He never uses condoms and he hasn't been paying her for the last 6. She'll know. LOL

[tayjuan]

@retecoomoati phoenix defense sucked jordan right behind him

[macoy346]

Pippen traveled@2:07

[THETOYOTAable]

why this game is not in the jordan 2k11 video game, record 41ppg in 1 final series, 55pt game winner shot over mvp barkley and is was the 2nd best highest points in the final.

[vip129870]

Wish I could see this kind of brilliance again the NBA, just once...

[quickchaos2009]

jordan triple teamed and still is able to knock down the turnaround J against 3 defenders. lol this guy was really unguardable.

[2010FWCSA]

This game should be on NBA 2K11.

[lkc69]

great offense+bad defense

90s defense suckS

but mj is still GOAT ,no doubt.

[THETOYOTAable]

@lkc69 .

suns was the best team at a time, watch game 6 suns hold the bulls under 10pt in 4qt. before paxson put up a 3

[jimmychuang]

90's defense sucks? you mean players like MJ, Pippen, Olajuwon, Rodman, Payton....their defense sucks?

If 90s defense sucks, how come they didn't have that many 50pt games just like 2000s?

[PhillyCatlien]

OMG DID THIS NIGGA MJ EVEN ATTEMPT A THREE POINTER

[PhillyCatlien]

UNLIKE KOBE....MIKE WILL FIGHT YO ASS

[u2beMac]

Poor Barkley, Stockton, Malone, Reggie, Penny, Ewing, Kemp... What a misfortune.

[joelb9]

@u2beMac Duncan, Roy, Gasol, Parker, Stoudamire, Bosh, Kobe, Lebron, Wade, Nash skills are like amateur level compare that era.

[MrSampsonchan]

Gotta love sir Charles knee on the ground in final secs! HAHA

[drwagner3]

i love that finals!!!

[MrSampsonchan]

Strongest inside game, so many AND-1 !!!!!

[MrSampsonchan]

Top game

[Whoisdringo]

just to show you how strong mike was watch at the 7:20 mark when he missed the free throw he and scott williams collide and scott williams hits the ground lol and hard

[Bullhawks55]

How many and ones where there. MJ, the greatest inside player ever

[hooddiee]

is that brandon armstrong? damn dude goes back

[iTzeXile13]

lol bj armstrong is a lil bitch

pushes KJ down thinking hes cool

meanwhile this is a typical MJ game

[HonoreT35]

Exceptional creativity in the air. Michael is an artist.

[teebchee0515]

"And it counts" game...unstoppable MJ.

[fhab525]

kobe, wade, lebron, melo are MJ's kids, he changed their diapers and all

[SUGE0009]

lol at 0:38 lol lol lol lol

[JoshPerrick]

Have you seen this video at NBAPremium(.)tk maan it blows mind How he have made it

[lpayne5001]

This was the good old NBA. You see how, at the end of the game, Jordan and Barkley didn't go near each other, to shake hands or exchange words or anything? Back then, this was a COMPETITION. At best, opponents ignored one another, and they often despised each other. Today, after a "hard fought" playoff battle between the Lakers and Nuggets, it's nothing but love between Kobe and Melo afterwards. Jesus, show us a little fire, a little resentment! It's fucking hard to watch that kiss-ass shit.

[escobar60099]

good lord

55 points 8 rebounds 4 assists on 57% shooting!

and this is a pivotal game 4 NBA finals game not a regular season game were alot of players have there biggest games

amazing...

[kingike25319]

um dude, i love jordan and he is the greatest of all time. But that comment was very random. and we know how important the game was

[drlee2]

And the Bulls HAD to have this game. Phoenix had imposed themselves into the series and were gaining momentum with the Game 3 triple OT win. Bulls might possibly have not won another game if not for Jordan keeping Phoenix at bay.

[senube]

This is the best NBA final ever.

Jordan & Barkley were the best players back then.

And the last game is one you never forget. (three point of Paxon & block Grant on KJ)

[7SkipToMyLou7]

Kobe Bryant rapes that defense

[romadkern]

@7SkipToMyLou7 wtf are u talkin about?

[JohnMUTDMazzawi]

lmao he couldn't handle the cavs' defense the other night

kobe would collapse in the 90s

[0204sexcity]

Pippen's dunk is one of the best.

[romadkern]

hahaha at 7:02...did Ainge actually think he had a chance to block that?

[Soundtrack1000]

no he fliiped

[moneyman237952]

I was at the game where ray allen scored 54 points against the bulls in triple overtime and he killed us luckily the bulls won the game i remember how good ray looked it looked like he was unstoppable. I can only imagine what it was like seeing jordan do this. not only did he score more than ray he did it in only 4 quarters!!!

[luckylefty232323]

MJ is the truth. Damn. Fierce i snot even the word, makes the black mamba look like the black worm.

[sunike07]

exclamation mark at 7:03!!!!!

[LeeDiddy990]

Thats gotta be one of the best performances in the nba finals history. I think only Elgin Baylor scored more points in an nba finals game then mj.

[honoretchou]

jordan can do everything. I am sold, where can i get a pair of his sneakers.

[wildwood010]

jordan is the best of all time that fadaway cant be stopped

[1bounce234]

I saw on one MJ's games Ahmad R. reporting saying Jordan lifts on game days n put up 265lbs. Ahmad said that he put up 210lbs (they worked out together).

Safe assumption that they were benching, but how many 2 guards in the league today can put up 265lbs? N that was 16 years ago, lol!

[bigbossman120]

that's really not that much. and im sure ahmad could put up more than 210 lbs!

[1bounce234]

If u comparing M.J. to someone who only lifts weights then its not much.

However, if u take into account that as a pro athlete Jordan has to keep flexibility, speed, and body composition in consideration to perform well as an athlete it is impressive.

Esp when u think of a NBA players traveling schedule n that he is 6'6 (long ass arms) n was barely over 2 bills in the early 90's.

Whether or not Ahmad could put up more than 210lbs, idk. However he was quoted as sayin "I put up 210lbs"

[arkade2345]

during the pre-game, magic johnson foreshadows MJ's huge game by touching on how people were criticizing jordan for being fatigued late in Game 3 -- Jordan told johnson that he was tired but that he would be ready for game 4; or as JOhnson said "Michael told me he was 'gonna light KJ up!'"

He sure did!

[falkner23]

scottie pippens kicks were so sick i gotta get a pair of them he had sum ill nikes man he had a great collection which was over shadowed by the great nike air jordan kicks, pippens kicks were real underrated

[falkner23]

same with barkley's nikes they were mad underrated he had sum ill kicks, best kicks of alltime were teh air jordans at the top, then pippens and barkleys these are must have for any1 thats into kicks

[jaboo82681]

I had a pair of those, I loved them and I had the Jordan VIII's

[falkner23]

4real i didnt know that im gonna have 2 check that out those were sum fly kicks man

[LuigiLaker]

Phoenix knew if they could somehow steal this game, the series would be a completely brand new one..but the Bulls were up to the task, having two hard earned world championships under their belt..they fought the Suns tooth-and-nail, down to the very end, where Michael Jordan would again be the difference..His Airness' 55 points broke Chicago through, to a 3-1 series lead, and within one victory of their historic three-peat..

[paulp1021]

It's rare to see B.J. Armstrong lose his cool. But K.J. got what was coming after he shoved Armstrong's head.

[LEBONGTHOM]

8:11 MJ went over 4 suns defender and still finsh lol

[popeyeisgood]

the play on 8:13 he has 3 moves in the air before he put the ball in. and the dunk on anige you can see how many dribble he takes before the dunk from where he was at, amazingly big steps with the dribble and strong finish.

[popeyeisgood]

and the final drive in this video just show how quick and big his first step is and how smooth he can handle the ball with his left. i could believe that he is a lefty player just by watching all these left handed layups in this game.

[jordanlover23]

Agreed. Jordan was the smoothest lefty finisher of all time imo. Only other guy in his league is TMac. But Jordan would wave the ball around and do all these scoops and angled shots and get it on the glass or directly in so softly with the left. Amazing.

[bwink23]

good call jordanlover...even when michael was thin, he was "wirey" strong, incredibe strength in his legs...Magic made reference to jordan's strength even before he started hitting the weightroom.

[jordanlover23]

LOL @ 7:23. Jordan is much stronger than people think he is based on his frame. Williams just bounced off him and Jordan didn't even move lol. I've seen this with PF's and C's in other games, too, where Jordan would drive and guys would just bounce off him. There used to be a poll of players every year in one of the major magazines (The Sporting News or some such) of the pound for pound strongest players in the league, and Jordan used to always be at or near the top of the list.

[Amir883]

And I just realized no one even came to help him up lol.

[Amir883]

Scott Williams had to of been 250-260. And Jordan just blasted him lol

[jeditwinz]

Sometimes you just have to wonder. Why are you trying to block a Michael Jordan dunk Danny Ainge? I was thinking the same thing when dunked on Ward in the Knicks game. Why?

[RippedChords]

LMAO @ Punkass Danny Ainge

[Salva46]

10:09 xD. Normally, this was the image of rivals after playing against Michael Jordan

[Amir883]

at 7:23 Jordan and Scott Williams both go up for a loose ball and Jordan Knocks Williams to the ground. 6'6 vs 6'10. lol!

[Jordanhair]

What was Scott Williams' weight at that time?

[PAZ0619]

WTF was Ainge doing?

[jaboo82681]

Look at the look at MJ's face when he came out for the intro's, determination, and pissed

[jordanlover23]

Phoenix was actually ranked 9th out of 27 team in terms of defensive rating that year. Majerle, KJ, and Dumas were all good defenders. The Suns just tended to play at a high pace, and Jordan took advantage of their transition defense and early offense defense.

[PAZ0619]

9th on defense was very good, if their pace is considered. Too bad Suns today just dun play defense at all. I only saw Raja Bell and Shaq trying to play some defense.

[Jordanhair]

The defense of Phoenix Suns are always that bad..

[char4ever]

and still is.

[AgentCirrus]

thats got to be the most 3pt plays in a game by a single player, only MJ.

[jordanlover23]

LMAO at how BJ let Majerle leak out at 1:12 when Jordan was the one who took the shot and BJ was like 20 feet back on Majerle. And Jordan ends up being the one who gets back first somehow and almost stopping the play. Where the hell was BJ? lol

[alaskanmarine1]

"Looks like he is going to drive everytime until they stop him."
