[dannyboygeorge22]

That Call was Correct.. MJ was travelling on the play... He changed his pivot foot... 

[Scootertoot64]

1: 50 thats what happens when you call a travel on the GOAT

[NeonAera]

A blast to the past. Nice video and thanks for uploading.

[Kuzarkit]

[flamingkow168]

Thank you very much for continuing to update your channel love the vids <3



[gnewt75]

1st time I've seen Jordan get called for traveling. Great post.

[RSTM23]

Really....... He was blessed by God!

[Rohitevelmathew]

The dunk at 7:00 !! that requires so much core strength to have a man in your face then finish at the rim so strongly !

[flight23magic32]

What was the final score of this game?

[ShinAkuma21]

omg the guy is floating at 6:36

[sportjames23]

Look at MJ--messed around and got a triple-double.

[Brandoni73]

Its got to be 1989 because everyone is wearing "compression" shorts! Great game by the goat!

[LeBronAkronJames]

I was at this game.

[PlaidSoxs]

@LeBronAkronJames Change Your Name.

[TheMelak]

@LeBronAkronJames

LOL realy

[ryanrayonec]

@LeBronAkronJames  That's cool man. I only got to go to 2 Bulls games while MJ was around. Both in the 1996 playoffs cause there was a huge dispute with ticketmaster and you had to actually go to the United Center no matter how rich you were to get tickets. Would have been sweet to go to this game. Flat out old school... MJ against Alex English.

[lightsw0rd]

@LeBronAkronJames OMG LUCKY BASTARD 

[sathernut]

6:42, catches it and pivots with his left foot, then swaps to his right foot. such an obvious travel haha. but great game from the legend. cheers for the upload!

[popeyeisgood]

@sathernut

yea jordan did that quite often in the past. but his upper body moves and his defender's reaction is too distracting for the ref to catch it. also jordan's footwork is very smooth even traveling and it makes it harder to notice.

[bobo0383]

@sathernut I fail to see where he switches his pivot foot. He's dribbling the ball when switches to his right foot. That wasn't a travel.

[sathernut]

@bobo0383 Watch, he catches the ball and plants his RIGHT foot, and moves his left foot around a couple of times, he then plants his LEFT foot and pivots with his RIGHT foot. Textbook travel if you can see that then you obviously dont play basketball. Also should be noted that after he swaps his planted foot to his left one he also then moves this a number of times before taking off, which is a travel within itself. Anyway its michael jordan who really cares haha!

[bobo0383]

@sathernut First off I've played a lot of ball. I think I'm pretty versed in what constitutes a travel. But, I missed it the first time, I didn't see him dangling his left foot. It looked like originally when he caught it he hadn't establish his pivot foot. Which is why he when he planted with his left foot (which is his pivot foot not his right foot) I didn't think it was a travel.

[popeyeisgood]

@bobo0383

he totally travels there. he switched his pivot foot there. when he set the pivot foot the first time he was moving the other foot and then he started using the moving one as the pivot foot. but like mj always had smooth footwork and it makes it pretty hard to spot sometimes.

[JAM917]

popeyeisgood said: "he totally travels there. he switched his pivot foot there..."

Ya thats what I thought but when u relook it isn't easy to tell. And correct me if I'm wrong but NBA refs today RARELY call those! Jeeze i see kobe and lebron do this alot!

[popeyeisgood]

@JAM917

that's what i was trying to say, he had very smooth and subtle footwork that he always got away, because of how unnoticeable it was, i swear he had quite a few of these and i always kept silent( because jordan fans would get pissed off if i am nip-picking, ironically I am a huge jordan fan as well)

[popeyeisgood]

practically you can switch you pivot foot two times legally if you are grabbing the ball from a passwithout dribbling it , but usually when jordan did it it was really fast and smooth you have to really paya lot of attention to catch it even when it is in slow motion. i think that's why he got a way so much. not trying to stir up argument but leborn or kobe does this sort of traveling in more obvious fashions.

[Phatinium]

When the tongue comes out...ITS OVER! I like seeing MJ destroy the lane as well as dishing assists to his teammates!

[chudyzam]

He wa called for travelling...

Obviously he DID make mistakes, but the referees DID make calls against him...

I hope you all know who I have in mind :P

[flight23magic32]

@chudyzam Reggie Miller in game 4 of the 98 semis?

[MaximoLeo1990]

no wonder he was bald....he had the clyde drexler lol....mad bald spot patches lookin like a cheetah

[upabittoolate]

Man looking this old vid reminds me of how much of an indiscriminate gun Jordan was. As a Bulls fan, I'm glad he finally let Scottie push the point.

[upabittoolate]

lol. Ho Grant got his ass eyed.

[upabittoolate]

@upabittoolate So did Scottie.

[brian05fubu]

"Bulls are 13 -4 when he scores 30+"

[jasonmotley]

Hoops we love it, it's awesome when show the complete game, even when Mike turns it over or misses shots... not just all the makes. Great work brotha!!

[jordanlover23]

The finger roll at 6:30 is art in the air. Amazing. Love the dunk at 6:46, how he bulls his way past the body contact of Turner and then dunks on the entire city of Denver lol. Thanks for the upload Hoops.

[NavjotEnt]

Jordan

[dimedropper1992]

YES ANOTHER UPLOAD FROM HOOPS! i was running out of things to do

[andgar923]

Great upload, and a bunch of sweet moves.

[juangarcia2007]

That behind the back move left people standing still like they weren't moving at all MJ one of the greatest basketball players of all time

[chrisx2k6]

@juangarcia2007 Fail. THE greatest basketball player of all time, easily. Loved watching this one. Oh, and I forgot how quick Pippen was back then...Thanks for the reminder Hoops!
