Michael Jordan 1993: 34pts Vs. Portland Trailblazers

[GreatkingAlexander]

God playing

[teddyy80]

Do you have this whole game? I think there is a point in this game where Enberg asks Magic what's the difference between the Bulls and other teams and he asks looking back at the Finals 2 years ago what could they have done to come out on top.

[RickyMoss]

why do the players looks so tall on this court... watch the game with Jordan and the Bulls against Phoenix suns and the players look small.. i know all the courts are the same size

[outspoken34]

@RickyMoss the camera crew was positioned in a lower level of the arena in Portland.

[RickyMoss]

wow, I had this game on VHS back in the 90s it was an NBA sunday special game... my dad taped it when i went to church

[GreatkingAlexander]

after 92 drexlers name was never mention with jordans name never agin

[RAV52]

Some doctor from Star Wars should have checked the Midi-chlorian level in Jordan's body, because it's clear to me from this video that he is THE CHOSEN ONE and is using THE FORCE to achieve these otherwise impossible feats.

[2blessed847]

Amazing exhibition on his dominance especially considering that at the time clyde drexler was at the top of his game and yet he tourched drexler as if he was but a mere spectator and not even a participator. I believed Jordan was driven beyond measure to strive to be the absolute best that that was the very thing that put him over the top and that's why there won't be another Jordan again. He had developed such a potent jump shot & 3 pointer that it was ridiculous how we was able to stop onadime

[THEkaRAMBO1]

NICCCCCCE

[waihong001]

jordan's defence was insane...

[spitnificent]

"The fake was everything and the shot was icing on the cake!"- Magic Johnson

[AlbertoEntertainment]

where is the description????

[outspoken34]

Magic is my man, but his commentating is/was just turrable (*Charles Barkley*). Turrable!

[jrwalts]

on the fake magic almost said this is the shi...t right here. lol

[tupacbigi]

makes it look so damn easy....

[LeftEye2LK]

kobe is the second best 2gaurd of all time i like kobe but no one as ever done it better then mike and no 1 will ever do it better then the godfather mj..plese get it right.........

[jplaya2023]

@LeftEye2LK

Nope Clyde

[SolidValidus]

Its those hands. Jordan had massive hands!

[Soundtrack1000]

well how's that?

[SolidValidus]

He could palm the ball so easily. I would assume thats how he could finish so well at the rim. Plus his rip throughs were sometimes half one handed and quick to boot. It also allowed him to do his fake shot, the one where he palms the ball midway and fakes passes while palming the ball. I remember Phil Jackson mentioning this was one of the differences between MJ and Kobe. But that would start another "MJ owns Kobe sucks" if I went further so I'll just leave it as it is. They are both great.

[beaumiller81]

So true....MJ's hands were the best hands to ever touch the ball. They were huge!!! Thats a big advantage he ....excuse me, HE had over Kobe or anyone else. Lebrom;s got those big mitts as well.

[calvinandhobbesrocks]

MJ FTW MJ IS THE BEST HANDS DOWN

[jaiegh]

I take drexler over kobe any day. besides kobe aint even the best laker of all time. i take magic 5 rings over kobe 3 helped rings from shaq. kobe is great shooter in this era, but not greatest sg..hell i take nate archibald over kobe who led season in ppg and apg same season..yall need edu

[hkchrisnz]

first of all, Kobe's career is nt over yet.. Hw do u predict da he's nt gona get 2 more championships while he is only 30.

"Kobe 3 helped rings from Shaq" WTf do u mean by da ? Let me tell ya sth man ,, Shaq couldnt own these 3 rings without Kobe plus basketball is a team sport

[sportjames23]

Kobe also has over 12 years of NBA wear and tear on his body. It's not like Kobe will play another 10 years or so.

[101stparatrooper]

Nate Archibald son!

nice name drop

[mvbalilia]

michael is the best!

[ihategoingbald]

the man

[shizzlepecks]

at 2:16

"this is the sshhh...play right there"

i swear to god he was goning to say shit

[tongtau]

in fact clyde is absolutly a very good player in his era - i remember he was voted 2rd on 91-92 season MVP , but.....here MJ on the same court...

[jplaya2023]

Clyde Drexler is the 2nd best shooting guard in NBA history.

It's ashamed he never got the credit he deserved playing in an unfriendly media market in portland

[bgdjordan1988]

not to say ive gotten the chance to watch clyde a lot. you take him over kobe tho?

[jplaya2023]

Absolutely clyde and jordan aside from PPG and FG% had basically identical stats from 1988-1992. Then in 93 Clyde's body broke down from carrying his team and he wasn't the same until he went to houston in 95 and helped won a title.

Kobe is a great scorer, clyde Drexler is a great player

[oneman91]

drexler 2nd best SG ever? no wayy...

Drexler is top five all time at the SG but not at 2nd

1.MJ

2.Kobe

3.West

4.Drexler

5.Gervin

[jplaya2023]

your overrating kobe and jerry west was a PG

[oneman91]

u seriously thinkin Drexler is better than Kobe?

please...look at Kobe's career and look at Drexler's...by the time Kobe's career is finished he will be the 2nd greatest SG all time and a top ten player

[jplaya2023]

have you even seen clyde drexler play?

[geniousboy510]

was that rick adleman??? calling timeout hahahha

[hPeAiUdLe]

@6:09...they gonna have to send him to a higher league.

[jaboo82681]

so true!!

[hells357]

clyde had been fallin since '92, after barcelona, where he played amazing. its an amazin dunk there, he shooted for3, he missed, nd he jumped over the ring and scored. seemed like nobody saw that play, i ve never reviewed since than. in exchange, many dunks by jordan free with the basket.

but jordan was an emperor, i dont refute this

[undertakr]

everybody just sit back and watch.

mmm.

[jaboo82681]

I wish we could sit back and watch him now

[jtmoneykcr]

and the move at 2:00 was one of the most instinctful and gorgeous moves u will ever see in the flow of a basketball game

[shoxz]

i can't stop laughing every time i see that fake.

[jtmoneykcr]

who cares if clyde was playing injured that season...michael played injured...sick...watever...he was the true symbol of an athlete...u cant even put clyde in michael in the same paragraph

[hiimsole]

wth is that magic johnson as the sports announcer? lol

[brettfred7]

What a game, jordan is unbelievable here, even for his high standards.

[badpdx]

Clyde was playing injured that season, so it's a little unfair.

[JCR1992]

Jordan played injured alot as well in fact the entire 98 season he had a bad finger on his shooting hand still won the title and MVP so whats ur point? and thats no diss 2 u im just sayin legends play through pain and adversity.

[LAVEYP]

Another great upload Hoops. Good stuff, can not wait to see waht else you can dig up from the archives on MJ.

[QnZpRoBLeMcHiLD]

i love how jordan silences the crowd everytime they get hypedd. haha

[Cwm368]

"I tell you,"

[undertakr]

high quality = yes

[LAVEYP]

Thanks for the upload hoops. Gosh I missed the days of watching great NBA games like this. Good stuff hoops.

[yunboyfresh]

damn, the nba in the 90s looked so much better

[midwestking100]

@yunboyfresh why u say that? im just asking cause im a bigger fan of the 90s NBA than now

[8cali94]

mj is reminding the blazers with all those 3's he's knocking down in the finals lol

[ASUNDAR83]

hahahahahahahahahahahaha. im from chicago..... watch out for dr, but hes not mike

[bmd14]

the best ever 1:58

[vh23ada]

mj is my hero

[blok809]

michael jordan the best player ever

idont care wat anyone saysssssssssss

[FenslerFilm]

"With the leeg up in the ayyr, with his rhythm."

[vousallezvous]

MJ looks bored out there: just another day at the office.

[jaboo82681]

he did, it was just another day at the office for the Chicago Bulls that night

[AgentCirrus]

i remember watching that game live, especially the MJ dunk, vintage game of the year

even though that was 15 years ago, wasnt there a part in that game when MJ blocked Clyde's shot and Clyde out of fustration pushed him?

[gr8nesslives]

thanks

[slimdown99]

The MJ in 91-92 and 92-93 season was when his jumper was at its best...Also you can tell dat he extended his range on his shots during dat period of time...The only thing dat was slowing down a bit was his freakish athletic ability but dat jumper in those years was so pure...Also MJ first step was the best of any player I ever seen it was so fast that a defender could't cut him off

[conqueror363]

world's nr. 1.

[Bandy500]

anyone know what shoes mike is wearing?

[alaskanmarine1]

Those would be the white Air Jordan VIIIs.

[jaboo82681]

I love those VIII's im glad they came back out

[AJH1973FBI]

Air Jordan 8 VIII

[rjpsuh06]

You know Magic and Dick Enberg are both at ESPN, maybe they should do games again. A lot better than any team other than Breen, Van Gundy and Mark Jackson.

Rick Adelman, the coach of the Houston Rockets. Speaking of Rockets, how would Yao Ming do against Manute Bol?

[JUnit2382]

Thanks for the vid, but why do you always put all those tags?

[beaumiller81]

Thanks Hoops,you give me a reason to check my email.Keep sending em.You got anymore '91 ? That was a great year

[charliemayo]

Yeah!!!! I remember this game, mj was on his game that night.

[falkner23]

wooooooooo man he was smokin hot burnin the blazers up, that dunk was ill the way he moved it in mid air while palming it krazy & his jumper was fire all i can think of is perfection the master mike is da man

[kOrOne79]

Love it. Thanks for the game, Hoops.

[michalus]

i will always say that his footwork is a key.

Thank U Hoop!

[soowuave]

You jerk.  I got this game too, and was planning to start uploading with this, but oh well. Cool beans!

[ClearedForTakeOf]

vintage stuff

[chitownkidd33]

At 4.15 notice on the beautiful spin he doesnt put the right foot down, now all players do and it is a travel and the nba lets it go. Great upload!

[raymun82]

on dat fake play and drive to da hoop Magic ALMOST said "shit" he was like "this is the sh...the play right here" LOL HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

[rrTale]

Lol sounds like it but i believe he was gonna say "this is the shot.." not "shit" really.

Great stuff as always Hoops, the vast array of weapons on display.

[cutepinkbandanaman]

MJ usually reads the defence like an open book. At 2:00, however, he got tired of that and decided to read the defence like a poem instead.

[ForEmily23]

HOOPS!!!

[Tonzies]

Absolute beast.

[pennyccw]

Hoops,

I have around 300 AI's Games

I will upload them as many as possible.

Penny

[RyoSan23]

O MY GOD!!!!!! 2.00 minutes

[r8mi]

I'm always speechless when i watch MJ play.... even though i know he's the Greatest i'm always awing at everything he does. What he did on the court was just ridiculous

[flebbes]

I love the game, never seen it before. And that move at 2:02... just amazing.

[Jordanhair]

"Jordan at the right place again"

[Bandy500]

way to elevate at 7 57

[Bandy500]

love that - jordan to through the lane at 2:16 and adelman's like 'Time out please'!

[theotherwasillmatic]

magic on the commentary

thats classic

[sphinxwt]

Drexler and JOrdan, that's a hell of match.

[jets103]

Geat Video! Keep It Up! I learn a lot just by watching Jordan play, so thank you! :).

[Mcdaodao]

2:02 was incredible

~flying~

[pc2650]

kobe cant do these moves!! yes, I am a kobe hater. let the flame begain.

[dippitydoppitydoo]

Why do you have to bring Kobe into this? This is a Michael Jordan video. Not a "Michael Jordan vs Kobe Bryant" video.

[pennyccw]

Hoops

Just want to know how many Jordan's games do u have??

[dv122]

clyde drexler would be like a lebron james if he played under todays rules. james is a little better at rebounding and passing but clyde is more athletic.

[jordanlover23]

Jordan averaged a mere 7.6 FTA/gm during the first three-peat (age 27.5-30). Go look at how many players we've had over 9 FTA/gm in each of the last 4 seasons. The "Jordan got all the calls" stuff is nonsense that's not backed up by ANY evidence.

[bwink23]

another great one hoops...keeping mj's spirit alive.

[jordanlover23]

LOL @ Magic's constant praising of Jordan in this game and Jordan's wink at Magic after he hit that shot. Jordan wasn't about jersey popping like a clown -- he was more subtle (and tactful) than that.

[mnkhan2020]

yeah. that jersey popping business is for gay like Kobe who yarns so hard to have 2 full size breasts so that he can pop his jersey with full size bra.

[jeditwinz]

LOL

[BALLlSLlFE]

I wish he had some better competition in his day. he was always sitting on the bench cause they would get up by 20 or 30 and they wouldnt want him injured, he was best in the clutch too.

[blackadam06]

"I wish he had some better competition in his day."

19 of the 50 Greatest Players selected; 49 players that are responsible for the MAJORITY of the Top 10 ALL TIME PLAYOFF Honors in EVERY individual category; 137 player that are responsible for the MAJORITY of the Top 30 ALL TIME REG SEASON Honors in EVERY individual category..ALL PLAYED DURING MJ's ERA!

Is that good enough competition for ya?

[BALLlSLlFE]

all Im sayin is I wish he could play people like Kobe and lebron so people would stop disputing him as the alltime greatest

[blackadam06]

What U SHOULD be wishing for, is to see kobe & lebron compete against the HIGH level of SKILL & the tougher defensive rule of thumb that existed in the league during the "Golden Era" so U can see what those 2 guys are REALLY made of..

[uberathlete]

You obviously know shit about basketball and its history. Read up son.

[hPeAiUdLe]

your talking about the golden era of the nba here.

Its just that like magic said. There is Michael and the rest of us.

magic in this game commented something about michael to play for the higher league.. but too bad MJ was the only player in that league.

[Flowerofchaos]

what a beautiful thing, to end your full hard day with a video from hoops (you see it's night where i live right now.. goodnight everyone..

[grapplerke]

Hahahaha, I'm a Jordan fan, but 5:05 was DEFINITELY NOT A FOUL. That was a Jordan call right there.

[Flowerofchaos]

for some strange reason refs always hated drexler...

[grapplerke]

Magic Johnson wasn't kidding when he said, "You touch Michael and it's a foul." Ehh, he's still the greatest, but obviously he gets special treatment. Then again, it's not like the LeBrons and Wades don't get it today.

[ClipCoug]

The Bad Boy Pistons disagree with what you just said.

[8cali94]

2:00-2:03 damn!

[dimedropper1992]

how was the portland trailblazers doing in 93' i have heard nothing from them in 93'

did they make it to the playoffs that year?

[hoopsencyclopedia]

Lost to Spurs in the 1st round.

[justforyou88]

is that magic speaking?

[hoopsencyclopedia]

Yes that's Magic.

[davidayalon1]

as always rare and great share

but the quality isn't so much

[hoopsencyclopedia]

Thanks. It should be available for high quality in a bit on youtube since it was just uploaded.

[davidayalon1]

oops I thought that was it...

waiting for the HQ...

it's good that you're doing this work

i'm a happy subscriber

[hoopsencyclopedia]

HQ is here already.

[jeditwinz]

You know as much as I love Jordan I used to feel bad for Clyde. He was great but was always second to MJ during his formative years.

[Cwm368]

Everyone was second to Jordan, not just Clyde he was no different that's all. They all bowed to MJ. Too much skill and will for them all.

[Cwm368]

Clyde and everyone else.

[jeditwinz]

My bad, I meant to say second amongst shooting guards. I know the rest of the league was waaaaay behind him. That's why I laugh when I see people say he is overrated. Well who really is the best and why is he so much better than them?

[Cwm368]

MJ was the best and it was a combination of skill, intelligence and desire.

[radio213]

true that, that fake play was incredible

[yourdrowninglessons]

Greatest Of All Time
