@TheVillain365 the funny thing is I don't think it was luck. MJ did the same thing earlier that year against Detroit at home. He's done it a few times in his career
For the record, MJ would end the series with some preposterous numbers: 31.2ppg, 6.6 rebs, 11.4 assists, 2.8 steals, 1.4 blocks, 56.64% FG, 50% 3FG and 85% FT).
" MJ completed his last step to the top of the mountain from where he would remain forever."
Forever? Dpnt be a nigger loving idiot. I believe Shaq, dunca and KOBE took those spots in subsequent years. Do you picture yourself getting tit-banged by MJ in your dreams and then masturbate to said dreams?
Phil Jackson helped killed the Lakers' dynasty in the 80's, but then resurrected them in the 2000's. Now it's a possibility that Jackson could be facing his former Bulls squad to get his 12th championship and finally retire. As a Bulls fan, as much as I loved Phil and what he did for Jordan and Chicago, I hope it doesn't happened if the Lakers play us.
@slatz20 No. The Bulls GM at the time Jerry "Fuckhead" Kraus didn't want him or the team back in 99. He told Phil I don't care of you go 82-0 you're not coming back. He had a huge ego and he wanted to build his own championship team from scratch. He didn't draft Jordan and he wanted to win titles without MJ proving he could do it. His drafting of Grant and trade for Pippen and Cartwright was just never enough for his huge ego.
Jordan was POSSESSED!!! Watching this reminded of his perfection on the court. Perfect instincts. Perfect skill. Perfect team player (dump off to Pax in the final minute). There will never be another.
nobody will be as good as Jordan. 1 reason being is because young players these days get so much money and endorsements before they even play a single game in the NBA. when something has been given something so easy, they wont work as hard for it. Jordan did because it wasn't like that in early 80's. You had to work your ass off just to have a shoe contract with nike, which Jordan earned, not offered!
When it comes down to it in the late 80's and 90's it could be argued that there was no better defender or rebounder than denis Rodman, except for one exception, MICHAEL J. The greates offensive force. "Michael Jordan was the greates defensive player of our ERA" Sir Charles Barkley, arguably greatest power forward ever.
Kobe is not blessed with Jordan's athleticism. He does not have monster size hands. He's not as strong as Michael Jordan. He's not as quick as Michael Jordan. Jordan could read the court better. Micahel Jordan was a more agressive defender. Michael Jordan was a better passer. Kobe does a lot with what he has been given. However Michael Jordan's drive an passion is on another level then anyone I have ever seen. I began seriously following Jordan in 1986! I've watched them both. Jordan is the BEST
8:28 - It didn't count, but WTF???? I love how the commentators just casually say "it went it, but it won't count"....failing to mention it was a one handed over the shoulder backwards shot from 15ft....I guess with MJ that is just ordinary.
@ 8:02 the ENTIRE..I repeat the ENTIRE 5 player Laker team (including Magic) tried to stop MJ's graceful move to the bucket...GREATEST TO EVER PLAY THE GAME (PERIOD)...repeat GOAT
Whats with all the kobe/jordan comparisons? Both players are great in their own eras. There will never be another Jordan but there will also never be another Kobe. Both of them are incredibly skilled and dedicated players. Let them be.
@DetectiveBlacksmith I love kobe. He's an amazing player. However not comparing the two. Jordan is The GOAT. Isaiah Thomas says he makes us look like highschool kids, playing a adult. Kobe is an amazing shooter, and creative player. But he's not as athletic as jordan. Give him Jordans athleticism and you may have a debate. since not, Case Closed! JORDAN
@Bragadoshis I agree he's not as athletic as Jordan is but Kobe in my eyes is a better natural shooter than Jordan was. TBH, they both have a similar game but at the same time they are 2 different players with the same competitive drive. I look at it as 2 great players from 2 different eras of basketball rather than focusing on who has what and who doesnt have what. Watch, as soon as Kobe has been retired for 8+ years, everyone is gonna start comparing him and Kevin Durant in the same light.
And this is the difference between Lebron and Michael. Lebron wanted to take the easy way out; as Jordan stuck it through, performing his hardest game in and game out and making good shot selections.
F***ING PHIL JACKSON, WHEN JACK NICHOLSON IS GETTING CLOSER TO CONGRATULATE HIM, HE JUST SAY THANK YOU AND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE LEAVES....... 9:28 MNS.
kobe lebron wade......1 ringers as leader of their team at best......there nvr will be another MJ .....he is basketball at its best, most intense.....props to pippen for sticking wid MJ despite being as efficient as MJ minus the creativity
@One7823 technically it is a travel, but he is MJ, and his movement is so fast that you cant see the travel. He moved his pivot and put the ball on the floor at the same time. You won't be able to see the travel without slow motions.
@mickeyelsalsero kobe and jordan ????? i just say jordan got more points more rebounds more assists more steals and more bloks more mvps and more championships...nothing more to say
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Look How Michael Jordan killed and destroy that fat slow weak overrated ass cunt called, "Magic Johnson," and that fag with no athleticism called, "Larry Bird!!"
Those ass cunts got no athleticism they only played basketball just like you and me who could exactly ball!!!!!!
That's why Kobe is not enough to be Michael Jordan and Lebron and Dwight will get pass Our old athletic ancestor named, "Michael Jordan!!!"
People fail to remember that hand checking was legal in the Jordan era. If hand checking was still legal, Kobe wouldnt be putting up 1/2 the points he does.
you big dummy what made you think that ? kobe shit on scottie pippen when was 19 years old .. and this was during the handchecking .. your logic is flaw homie ..
Look at Kobe's career stats and notice their eerie reliance on that rule change:
2003-2004: 24ppg, 44% shooting
2004-2005: 27.6ppg, 43% shooting
HANDCHECK RULE CHANGE
2005-2006: 35.4ppg, 45% shooting
2006-2007: 31.6ppg, 46% shooting
Kobe was a great player before the handchecking change, but his best years all happened after. Shaq left before the 04-05 year, so it wasn't just that.
And he was never close to as efficient as MJ. MJ shot 54% during the 90-91 year.
kobe put up 15- 18 pts during the handchecking era this is the numbers he put up as a bench player .. kobe scoring numbers had increase once he end up with role players that werent reliable to hit their shots.. shaq was gone and he become the number one option to score .. thats why his numbers went up the roof not because of the rules .. he sure didnt benefit from today defense
Except that Shaq left before the 04-05 season and Kobe only managed 27.6ppg. His career high at that point was 30, which he averaged with Shaq on the team. So the relevant factor was not merely Shaq's presence.
And no one is saying that Kobe couldn't score before handchecking. The point is that his biggest scoring seasons, the ones that approached MJ output, happened after the rule change.
Apply a similar factor to MJ's stats and you would see a leap from 37ppg->what? 45?
lol... you not reading the x factor that i have stated you cannot allowed yourself to hide from the truth .. kobe was the number one option in his team to score and plus was jacking more than 20 fg attempts at that time he was winning the scoring title .. if a man put up 45 % of his shots while attempting 25 shots .. how many points you think he going to get ? not less than 25 pts plus you also have to include free throws this is a simple math that most cant understand
you are right about that .. that because kobe settle for more contested jumpshots than jordan .. kobe is more talented than mj but not better cause mj relied oon his iq to beat his opponent .. mj is the goat i will give him that at the sametime just like anybody else he sure did have his share of asswhoopin
All you have to do is watch the clips of this series. Both Pippen and Jordan hand check the hell out of Magic. Watch every time he's backing one of them down, you'll see plenty of it.
Now that you can't play that way, PGs don't back in. The back down was to keep the defenders hands from the ball. Now they have to stand back, so PGs are free to march up the court uninterruped.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
obviously you dont know shit about basketball i cant believe people like you thinking theres a big drastic difference in today era .. only difference is more skills perimeter players in today league thats all . handchecking was rarely use on a perimeter player the only time a defender could use handchecking is on the post they do it all the time in the nba
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i came to the land of stupidity to save your dumbass since you become ungrateful im going leave your ass behind and let you grow dumber ..you an old school dicklicker thats judging the game based on highlights and a few minutes of youtube . their have been many games when teams played poor defense in the past so give me that shit about 80s and 90s being tougher than today basketball not every team was playing great defense . assholes like you tried to overrate the past
I enjoy reading impotent brats who think their childish taunts actually affect anything in the world. You're silly, frivolous, and ignorant.
Why do you think they changed the handchecking rules? Because scoring was too low. Hmm, let's follow the logic: if scoring was too low, and you wanted it to be higher, would you change the rule to make it easier or harder to score?
I know it will take a while for your pea-brain to sort that out, but the whole point was to make offenses flow.
Actually locksmith you dont know shit about basketball because players ( such as Michael Jordan) that played throught the 80s to 2000 say the defense back then was stronger as well as analysts. You tell Charles Barkley that Kobes Lakers are stronger than the Bad Boy Pistons. Hed bitch smack your dumb ass. Apparently you know more though
there's quite a huge difference actually. more skilled perimeter players? it's easier to look more skilled when guys don't have their hands all over you and when the lane is wide open to penetrate through.
lakers did have some injury issues in this series it's true. but jordan's injuries didn't seem to slow him down too much. as far as kobe...def. a top 10 player of all time and maybe top 5 (especially after he cements himself and his legacy after he wins another ring tonight) but better then jordan?...no
for you kobe lackeys..kobe is already in his 13th season yet only HELPED the lakers to 3 titles..jordan LED the bulls to 6 titles in his 14-year career with the team..
That's bullsh*t man, Kobe didn't even start his 1st 2 seasons, it is debatable although MJ is the GOAT..to discredit what Kobe has done is just pure hate.
Kobe's stroke is similar to Jordan's therefore Kobe is not original so Jordan has a better stroke...lets not talk about LeBron yet cuz he doesnt quite have a stroke yet.
what do you think , who has sweeter shooting stroke, between these players, reggie miller, ray allen, kobe brayant, allan houston, glen rice and Jordan?
what do you think , who has sweeter shooting stroke, between these players, reggie miller, ray allen, kobe brayant, allan houston, glen rice and Jordan?
English and/or Australian people generally. How naive are you "mate"? Never heard of the word "mate" and unaware of the fact that the Bulls play in the Eastern Conference! Geeeez
I forget sometimes just how dominant Jordan was. The dude took over series. Its amazing how one man can just score anytime he wanted to. Thats why he's the greatest.
what do you think , who has sweeter shooting stroke, between these players, reggie miller, ray allen, kobe brayant, allan houston, glen rice and Jordan?
Wow good question Soundtrack1000. As far as shooting stroke I would have to go with Ray Allen in that department. He really makes it look easy. Now Allan Houston and Michael Jordan had nice shooting strokes too but not as sweet as Allen's. Glen Rice and Reggie Miller had more unconventional shots. There shooting styles weren't very smooth in my opinion.
Now if we are talking deadliest shooters I would have to go with Reggie Miller and Michael Jordan all the way. Those guys when the game is on the line will cut your heart out every time. Kobe has a nice shooting style too but his shot is too much like Jordan. Figure That!!!!
I have one message for all the Kobe lovers. When Michael Jordan was on the court, there was never a question in anyone's mind who the best player was on the court. That includes, Reggie, Shaq, Charles, Ewing, Penny, Grant Hill, Magic, Larry, Clyde, DRobinson, Malone, Stockton....you get the point. Fact is, this year's Finals I dont think you can say that Kobe was the best player on the court with the performance that Paul Pierce had. On top of that Kobe won with Shaq--best player on the court
true that! whenever jordan played away the crowd and home team bench would clap or cheer when michael made shots. everyone was on his nuts let alone question if the were better than him.the hate kobe everywhere but l.a.
This is unbelievable to watch. The Lakers are about to lose the series 4-1 on their homecourt and in the last couple minutes you see the crowd exploding every time Jordan hits a bucket. This has to be unprecedented in sports history.
true dat lakers have more rings but the lakers always had great players wilt,jerry west,magic,james worthy,kareem, and etc the lakers were winning way before magic. jordan alone gave an entire franchise no city hope
haha, what's this hater doing putting comments on this video. It's not even about the lakers losing, it's about a tribute to Michael Jordan. Great players playing each other, and Michael Jordan happened to be on top this time. But yes, the lakers are a beast of a franchise, no one is going to take that away from them, so just chill.
I'll say this, he's the greatest of all time because he can do it all. Great on the offensive end as well as great on defense. I love watching him play defense.

yo playa, I can't help that the current bulls suck. The bulls has something in common with bret the hitman hart, they both are the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be...lol that was a BIG JOKE. BOSTON SUCKS! SPURS SUCKS!
like I said before, the bulls always have, will, and currently SUCK. Until the bulls get another championship, you just sit back, relax, take you a cold one, and wish, better yet pray, that the bulls even dream about the playoffs. Can you say the word, CHOKE!

Apply a similar factor to MJ's stats and you would see a leap from 37ppg->what? 45?

lol... you not reading the x factor that i have stated you cannot allowed yourself to hide from the truth .. kobe was the number one option in his team to score and plus was jacking more than 20 fg attempts at that time he was winning the scoring title .. if a man put up 45 % of his shots while attempting 25 shots .. how many points you think he going to get ? not less than 25 pts plus you also have to include free throws this is a simple math that most cant understand
locksmith30076 2 years ago
I don't really understand your point. We're comparing MJ to Kobe. Lett's compare a couple seasons:
Kobe, 05-06: 35.4ppg, 45% shooting on 27.2 shots/game, 10.2 FT/game
MJ, 87-88: 35.0ppg, 54% shooting on 24.2 shots/game, 10.5 FT/game
Those were just two years in which they happened to score the same. Notice that MJ shot 9% better, that's a significant difference.
Kobe didn't do as well as Jordan even with the defensive 3sec and handchecking rules.
TBlake34 2 years ago 2
you are right about that .. that because kobe settle for more contested jumpshots than jordan .. kobe is more talented than mj but not better cause mj relied oon his iq to beat his opponent .. mj is the goat i will give him that at the sametime just like anybody else he sure did have his share of asswhoopin

wrong most players rarely use handchecking in the past .. have anyone have seen the recorded games ?
locksmith30076 2 years ago
Do you actually know what handchecking is?
All you have to do is watch the clips of this series. Both Pippen and Jordan hand check the hell out of Magic. Watch every time he's backing one of them down, you'll see plenty of it.
Now that you can't play that way, PGs don't back in. The back down was to keep the defenders hands from the ball. Now they have to stand back, so PGs are free to march up the court uninterruped.

obviously you dont know shit about basketball i cant believe people like you thinking theres a big drastic difference in today era .. only difference is more skills perimeter players in today league thats all . handchecking was rarely use on a perimeter player the only time a defender could use handchecking is on the post they do it all the time in the nba
locksmith30076 2 years ago
It's so very ironic that you post a comment below a video with tons of examples of handchecking.
There's obviously no point in trying to talk to you, so enjoy your land of stupidity, I will do my best to avoid it.

i came to the land of stupidity to save your dumbass since you become ungrateful im going leave your ass behind and let you grow dumber ..you an old school dicklicker thats judging the game based on highlights and a few minutes of youtube . their have been many games when teams played poor defense in the past so give me that shit about 80s and 90s being tougher than today basketball not every team was playing great defense . assholes like you tried to overrate the past
locksmith30076 2 years ago
I enjoy reading impotent brats who think their childish taunts actually affect anything in the world. You're silly, frivolous, and ignorant.
Why do you think they changed the handchecking rules? Because scoring was too low. Hmm, let's follow the logic: if scoring was too low, and you wanted it to be higher, would you change the rule to make it easier or harder to score?
I know it will take a while for your pea-brain to sort that out, but the whole point was to make offenses flow.
TBlake34 2 years ago
Actually locksmith you dont know shit about basketball because players ( such as Michael Jordan) that played throught the 80s to 2000 say the defense back then was stronger as well as analysts. You tell Charles Barkley that Kobes Lakers are stronger than the Bad Boy Pistons. Hed bitch smack your dumb ass. Apparently you know more though
GoingOn9Lives 2 years ago 2
there's quite a huge difference actually. more skilled perimeter players? it's easier to look more skilled when guys don't have their hands all over you and when the lane is wide open to penetrate through.

lakers did have some injury issues in this series it's true. but jordan's injuries didn't seem to slow him down too much. as far as kobe...def. a top 10 player of all time and maybe top 5 (especially after he cements himself and his legacy after he wins another ring tonight) but better then jordan?...no

After 5 more championships he would move on to LA where he would ride Shaq and Kobe's, only to retire and then ride Kobe's again
SirGalloGrande 2 years ago
Haha, ok. I guess Red Auerbach is a crappy coach because he only won with Russell.
Pat Riley won 5 titles with Kareem and Magic, then won another with Wade and Shaq, does that make him a coattail rider?
Or how about Popovich? He's only won with Duncan.
All you've done is point out that good players are necessary to win a championship. SHOCKING!

Soundtrack1000 2 years ago
Wow good question Soundtrack1000. As far as shooting stroke I would have to go with Ray Allen in that department. He really makes it look easy. Now Allan Houston and Michael Jordan had nice shooting strokes too but not as sweet as Allen's. Glen Rice and Reggie Miller had more unconventional shots. There shooting styles weren't very smooth in my opinion.
TopDog381 2 years ago
Now if we are talking deadliest shooters I would have to go with Reggie Miller and Michael Jordan all the way. Those guys when the game is on the line will cut your heart out every time. Kobe has a nice shooting style too but his shot is too much like Jordan. Figure That!!!!

I have one message for all the Kobe lovers. When Michael Jordan was on the court, there was never a question in anyone's mind who the best player was on the court. That includes, Reggie, Shaq, Charles, Ewing, Penny, Grant Hill, Magic, Larry, Clyde, DRobinson, Malone, Stockton....you get the point. Fact is, this year's Finals I dont think you can say that Kobe was the best player on the court with the performance that Paul Pierce had. On top of that Kobe won with Shaq--best player on the court
