[1loverkw]

Are they playing outside?? SWEET thats a first for me.

[ThomasDollar1]

rofl, oliver miller takes the final shot? were they on drugs?

[tmprogram]

god luc longley sucked

[usefulwaste]

AND the reference to public sex in the hotel windows above the court is PRICELESS!!!! haha

[dhruvygroovy15]

Kobe who?

[Jason1584]

greatest player ever? probably.

[Ripmaster2003]

nice shot by mr. miller! ;-) Mike is awesome - the only player you can take shots like mike did, is kobe....

[Jackbookowski89]

Dude if you want to talk about NBA you should watch movies at NBAPremium(.)tk first those are best shots every made and really unique

[josette5]

that's a big stadium r they in a football stadium outside

[heeroyamato]

@josette5 It's actually an indoor baseball field... skydome.

[carcake1]

@josette5 Before 1999 the raptors used to play in the roers centre dome closed

[aas8]

The Raptors were the only team to take it to them both times at home that season...remember the other game they beat the Bulls and it was one of the biggest upsets in NBA history.

[jwater1221]

those last three shots he hits are unREAL. Mr. Clutch. Among every other accolade in the dictionary.

[timjr5000]

hahaha at 4:53 after Jordan hit that impossible fadeaway. one of the toronto bench players hits the deck!

[waihong001]

damn, he's so crazy!!!

[darksiete]

Hes a killer

[javivideox]

grande jordan ojala que algun dia pueda ver a alguien tan bueno como el bien jugado y bien ordenado

[kryogenikz]

Oliver Miller!!!!

[Bigstan3]

Damn the skydome was never meant to play basketball in that place was huge.

[bigdplaya25]

...wonder y it was called the SKYdome lol

[sexdrax]

i love this team chicago bulls all of them are scoring .. and MJ trust them .. even will purdue can score hehehe

[dv122]

anybody know the attendance for this game. i know in 96 the bulls set a record for 1 game attendance with around 40,000. was this that game?

[Melo15xSTAT1]

the arena can only hold 20,000 people

[dv122]

i think this was a baseball arena theyre playing in here. i know the bulls hold a record for highest basketball attendance with around 40,000 and im wondering if this was the game

[Melo15xSTAT1]

damn thats alot of people

[dv122]

i checked the records and it was in 1996-97 i think when the hawks played the bulls. the attendance of that game was 62,046. that was the game i was talking about. i dont know how many ppl attended this game.

[ma7799]

That was during the 1997-98 season

[dv122]

the 62,046 gm? i think that record may be broken this year in the allstar game if there able to fill up the stadium

[dv122]

i mean the 2010 all star gm when itll be held in the dallas cowboys stadium.

[dv122]

and it was the 1996-97 season cause i checked it

[Xandrino]

If JOrdan would have had a center like Shaq, he would have won at least 8 rings, maybe 10...Kobe is a wannabe of course we all wanna be Mike but at least be original...

[NOaverageJOE]

I was there! That final MJ shot really silenced the crowd. Those were the days.

[sargeesk]

if pippen was in the nba today he would dominate any player defence and offence he is good as jordan ovi not better but he could probley defend jordan real good. like i was asaying if pippen was in the leauge today MVP atleast 4 times

[candiasis333]

Friggin lol @ commentary of toronto's last play.

[Makaveliblast1st]

yea is like kobe wants to take the fadeaway, when he could beat guys off the crossover and get fouled, cause he is fast and could take outside shots

[Makaveliblast1st]

yea u right even i when younger, i was playin basketball i tried to do the fadeaways like mj or the pullup shots the way he shot it, but i did not do all those jordan expressions and yes i could understand if young guys imitate him, but when u a grown ass man, now thats weird

[Makaveliblast1st]

u can say kobe is a biter, no indentity, no personality, he tries to do the same fade aways like mj, tongue out, facial expressions etc etc, he does have some original moves, like the flotter and the dunks and he has a better 3 point shot the jordan, better outside shooter, jordan at the end of his career was a better post player fade away, i just wish kobe stop tryin to imitate mj

[Cwm368]

He can't help it, he idolizes the man in every way. He grew up watching him and said "I want to be just like this man," not just his game but personality as well. I mean when I was younger I imitated certain actors, characters, athletes but as an adult I want to be me, Kobe never grew out of that. I tell you what though, he's a good imitator! LOL I got the man almost down to a "T"

[at1212b]

Yup, exactly... he's a excellent article describing just that re: Kob's "empty petulant theatre" when things go wrong that he can't follow MJ's script.

slate(dot)com/id/2141287

And big difference between their fadeways is it was a part of MJ's game, consistent, and in the flow of the offense.

With KB, it just doesn't make sense, its self-absorbing and not reliable whatsoever.

[JayVenom]

those fades and that last shot was just too much. the thing is, he played on the highest level every game for so many years. you combined that with his skillset, basketball iq and heart and that makes him the G.O.A.T

[ForEmily23]

that fade at 4:31 is amazing

[Makaveliblast1st]

jordan's fade away was beautiful, no homo but the way jordan shoots, or dunks, or defense has so much grace and beauty, u cant find find this in other players, others look sloppy and no grace on their shoots, is like watchin jordan in a superhero level, i think Bob costas talked about this after the 6th title

[Cwm368]

Stupid no homo crap, you must be insecure of your sexuality, moron lol

[Makaveliblast1st]

yea wateva u say man, i neva said no gay shit of me likin jordan as a man u dumb fuck, maybe it came out wrong, but wat im tryin to to say is when jordan plays, dunks fly in the air looks cool, like it has grace to it, now why would that make me gay, just chill out man, i did not disrespect u

[Cwm368]

No bitch, I said why did you have to say no homo? It was stupid and childish and who cares if it was homo.. that's what I was trying to say to you...

[jaboo82681]

that final shot by MJ was beautiful

[whennen]

Geez that Fadeaway at the 1:06 Mark? Are you kidding me?

[ForEmily23]

I feel the same way

[Makaveliblast1st]

yea thanks for this game, this is my favorite era from the bull 96-98 and if u have more regualar season games from that era please post them

[Chihouse23]

The 96' season was just amazing. To go 72-10 during the regular season and make it look so effortless was something special. However, i do recall every team that year using us as a measuring stick to see how good they really were. Everyone seemed to play their best b-ball against us night in and night out. I remember they use to call our big 3....Superman,Batman,and Rodman,lol.

[peteandjordanlover09]

and thats something Kobe Bryant will never accomplish

[lfctothedeath]

You just haaaaaaaaad to mention Kobe...

[Makaveliblast1st]

yall think kobe can win more titles than mj and by him havin more titles, would that make him better than mj and take his stop?

[Cwm368]

Kobe's good but MJ is the original and can't be replace, it's gonna take more than tittles,how about heart and desire, I don't think Kobe can measure up to MJ's will to win. Besides all that Kobe has copied his game after MJ, how about originality?

[derkach77]

cool vid

[Cwm368]

Toronto played them tough and even defeated the Bulls that year in which Jordan made a last second shot, a second too late. ;)
