  • they called that a foul? Lmfao those UNC refs must have followed him from college to the NBA.

  • @PCC9, That's Jordan though so it's allright.

  • i love that sound =)

  • Pause soon as it comes on , look at Jordan face.

    Lol

  • yep he did travel

  • its funny how kobe trys to copy jordan lmao, with his style, i said this before, i repeat, jordan is the closest u can get to being a perfect baskebtall human, u cant get close to him, hesssssssssss faster then kobe and labron, he shoots better, dribbles better, jumps higher,, more creative, only guy who comes close to jordan was iverson, just to bad he didnt have so many life problems, iverson was fuckin amzing, only 6 feet, and took bryant to skool all the time, thats impressive

  • like PHIFE DOG from A TRIBE CALLED QUEST said

    "i had girls hearts, like jordan had starks"

  • where's the foul???

    you can see starks clips his elbow with his right hand just before stacey king comes on the screen.

  • Handcheck does not make the offense harder. Look at it!! Jordan pretty much abused handchecker by swiping his left arm. Once contact is made, he just just jump and shoot for an easy n1.

    Ref rewards Jordan for doing that. This disprove the theory that handcheck is a better defense.

  • lol where is the foul?

  • No foul at all..... shitty call

  • He's wearing the 8's

  • Jordan travelled. Refs did not call it. Look at 0:40, Starks forced him to travel the refs did not call it. NBA should own up

  • Look at jordans back left foot at 0:40

  • Starks did not foul at all. This was just the refs way of saying fuck you to Starks for guarding Jordan so well. Whoever was a ref at that game should own up here. I'll be waiting

  • starks is jordan's BITCH. he is always washing the ball sweat off of jordan's jock with his tongue

  • you just hate the fact that starks left-dunked jordan

  • @Salsien the only thing starks can dunk on is his boyfriend's asshole with his tongue.

  • @Salsien he wasnt even that close but that was not a foul

  • Lets scrutinize all MJ's plays like this and you will find what I've always known. The NBA Favors it's best players as it serves them to launch their global market. Lets watch LeBron's career like this too. It's the worst and I hate watching those guys..... NO FOUL!! Starks had Jordan's number and was the only guy in the league that could give it back to Jordan and Miller. On a nightly, I wish guys played as hard as John Starks.

  • No Foul! I Call Bull On That one...

  • jordan is way better than kobe!! handsdown

  • So, at :40 Jordan slides his foot about 12 inches or so, (he probably wears about a size 15). at :40-41 starks looks like he might have double hand checked jordan, but you can't really see it, because Stacey King is in the way. Immediately afterword it looks like starks may have brushed Jordan's elbow with his hand.

  • MJ was so quick that even if you didn't foul him he could make it look like you did. He was just too complete. Starks couldn't guard him anyway.

  • what the fuck..??!!?? it's downright shameful to realize that when the whistle blew, Starks was nowhere near Jordan's hand.

    get 4-5 calls like these a game, and u add 6,8 pts per game to the scoring avg.

    Still the GOAT, but he did get some help.

  • at :42, starks hits jordans elbow.

  • Starks only touched MJ's left hand before MJ jump.

    It's super star advantage, and Starks was just like Rodman, always got bad foul call everynight.

    Just like Artest in last playoffs, Kobe elbow Artest and no foul, also Kobe elbow Battier twice and no foul.

    In king vs. lakers series Game 6, Kobe elbow Bibby and Bibby was bleeding, still no foul.

    That's super star's advantage, but MJ never went to far.

  • WHAT FOUL??/ ARE U KIDDING ME?

  • It's funny how they won't find the errors of the non-contact till the future. John Starks did not foul him. All those fouls will end up being non-fouls.

  • You gotta give Starks credit. He may have fouled him, but every night he came out there and played his heart out. No one could d up Jordan better than Starks. Jordan is just unstoppable though.

  • Joe Dumars defended Jordan better than anyone else. Jordan's gone on record saying that.

  • if its off the record how do u kno lol

  • ...Because he said it in an interview. On the record. You know, like, recorded. Cause that's what it means to go on record.

  • Meh. Back in those days, very few players got that call. Most all-stars did though. Not much of a video. Jordan's cockbag.

  • Lol this is my only account man.

  • John Starks was better.

  • MJ is the greatest, but he changed his pivot foot before he dribbled = travel

  • who knows how many times he got away with that call

  • @PCC9 Where's the travel?

  • @PCC9

    He did not change his pivot foot, it just happened that it slides before he ran.. but same pivot.. check the slow mo, left pivot, left foot slides, right foot steps..

  • that was absolutely a travel!!!look at his feets,,he moves his right feet and then his left feet!but he's still the greatest

  • The foul is @ 43 seconds. Starks' right arm hits Jordan's left arm as the shooting motion commences.

  • If you know basketball the foul was before the move and the foul continued so the move made the foul more visible to the ref as to why Mike switched pivot on the move and then the shot was money, what I have just explained to you is the mine thought of the Greatest Player Ever thank you, He knows all the tricks guys just face it there will be noone like him.

  • Jordan Traveled,And Dat Wasnt A Foul

  • yes it's a foul. notice the push on the hip as mj puts down the ball. you can handcheck but any sort of pushing is illegal. but yeah, he travelled.

  • kobe will never be this great in MY book

  • That was hardly a foul..and I am a Jordan fan saying that.

  • No foul was made. That's just the way it was when trying to guard MJ in his prime. If you breathe on him too hard the refs were going to call a foul.

  • That's traveling. Jordan lifts his pivot foot before he puts the ball on the floor. It's easy to get create space for a shot when you travel. And that is not a foul.

  • hater

  • Sad to say it because he's such a talented player bit it's true. That's traveling...

  • u see this all da time today...not much of an ownage

  • owning john starks was meant as a throughut his career this type of move happends evrytime mj always owned john starks

  • what foul? not even anointed superstars like lebron & kobe would get that call in today's more whistle-happy NBA. stupid senior citizen refs.

  • I can't find the foul, either. Maybe Starks got called for pushing with two hands, but that's some generous continuation. Either way, that's a sick move when you take into consideration all the handchecking going on.

  • Jordan always said Joe Dumars was the toughest guy to ever guard him, so you both are wrong...

  • Jordan did say that Starks was the toughest guy he played against.  He may have been shorter and not as gifted, but he made Jordan have to work harder than he did against anyone else. And Starks did have many moments ove the years against Jordan.

  • I hate to say you are wrong, but Jordan consistently called Mitch Richmond the toughest player he played against.

  • lol

    yeah this is definitely an instance of Jordan getting fantom foul calls and getting away with blatant travelling

    he does not lift his pivot but how come the refs can't see he slides it like crazy !!!

    lol

    but everybody knows he's still the greatest and didn't need that to win

  • starks was to little

  • MJ and Starks had some classice battles although Starks never won any of them. LOL

  • Haha, so true :D

  • Bull. If you watched game 2 of the 1993 ECF finals Starks baptized Jordan in the final seconds.

  • That was a nice dunk by Starks but it was just one play. Name me one game where Starks outplayed MJ for the entire game.

  • Comment removed

  • There were plenty of times in which John Starks outplayed Jordan. If you were to watch one of Jordans interviews he said the hardest person that he had to play offense against was John Starks. Type in the 1996 ECF semifinals I forget whether its game 4 or 5. Jordan was no doubt the greatest player of that era, but Starks was someone who came outta nowhere and made something of himself.

  • You mean greatest player of any era, right? ;)

  • It's kind of hard to say he's the best of all time. Don''t get me wrong, Jordan was God like. However there were certain rules that weren't applied to until Jordan's era. For example, the shot-clock wasn't fully perfected until after the antics of Wilt Chamberlain.

  • LOL wrong!! he said dumars was

  • Where's the foul?

  • @cvision17 I'm pretty sure it was as MJ was bring the ball up for the shot. Should be Stark's right hand that fouls MJ

  • typical jordan, first he travels, and there is no foul.

  • ball ground first.

  • He actually travelled twice on the play. He shuffles his pivot foot when he turns then he lifts it again before the ball has even left his hand. To top things off, Starks is not within three feet of him when the whistle blows.

  • starks double hand checked him..look at the video both hands were on jordan u cant do that.

  • Shut your dumb ass up, MJ is the Greatest!

  • Weak shit

  • Notice the double hand check when he drives? in today's pussy garbage NBA he wouldn't have even got a shot off. Today's NBA makes me sick its full of girls.

  • wheres the foul? gotta love star favoritism

  • this is 16 years old. is it really that serious? if he traveled, lets just call it a crab step and get it overwith

  • he moved his left foot that is traveling

  • That was not a foul. Phantom favortism call.

  • BS call, Starks barely touched him during the shooting motion

  • Not jordans fault, but

    There couod've been a little foul, but it was not a shooting foul. otherwise, he was nowhere near him.

  • It must've been so humiliating to guard Jordan when he's making shots like that.

  • Yeah, no foul there... but the superstars always get the calls even nowadays (ex. Kobe, Lebron, etc...).

  • Yeah, thisn was a bullshit call, but they seriously dont call in favor of superstars. There are plenty of bullshit fouls for every1

  • i love MJ, but i didnt see any foul there, srry.

  • he put two hands on him look at the clip

  • clealry no foul on the shot, you could call a very touchy foul before he even makes his move. But if you cant see the travel on this play you have no business watching basketball

  • at 0:40 u cant really tell if he moved his right pivot foot first before moving other leg. defintely not an "obvious" foul it may look that way because starks is blocking his right leg so we cant see clearly and as far the the foul it was a double hand check u cant do that and yea it was a while until the refs blew the whistle for it but it it was a late call and refs in the nba do that shit alot. its called a continuation foul.

  • His left foot is his pivot foot and you can clearly see him move it at :40. It is on the line and he moves it from the heel back. He has already stepped with his right foot beofre that so that makes it a travel. Contintuation normally occurs after the whistle (unless you are Jorday). The refs blow the whistle and let you continue your move. Apparently for Jordan, the refs see a foul, let you continue to play then blow the whistle then let you continue your move

  • ok i do thnk it may have been travel but DEFINETLY not 2 travels like u were belowing in urchats on this video. and i agree the refs did call the foul in wierd timng but ther was a foul, the duble handcheck, which also earlier in ur chats u didnt even aknoledge the foul saying that starks was 3 feet away from him. so at least i got that outa u but i do agree with u now ther was a foul but it was slight i mean moving his right foot like he did wasnt even of use to his move he dint even need it.

  • fair enough

  • Hi buddies... if you see carefully it looks like a real good basket... but it wasn´t because jordan is making travelling.. check his left foot, it makes a small little jump before dribling... and that´s travelling... sorry it was knicks´ball.

  • Sorry but... Jordan is God!!!

  • M:J walking, its not clear to make position to shoot

  • Mj is the best to play the game--but starks had some evil D, and was underrated

  • Michael Jordan was better than Magic,Bird,Kobe,Wilt,Kareem,We­st,Pistol

    Oscar,Wade,Lebron,Barry,Ray Allen,Pierce need I say more none of them had that great of a career.

  • granted like half of this list is still in the league but still when its all said and done, mike will still be the best

  • That's why people argue he might be the greatest of all time.

  • Well, it was no foul here, but he still chewed up Starks and made that shot :)

  • FunSheng: Sorry, that post was meant for mikenotnumber1, not you. I agree, though, that some Jordan fans do show some disrespect towards other players' accomplishments, and I personally think they're wrong to do that, but I've seen plenty of Bird, Magic and other players' fans do the same thing. Pretty much all the greats have at least a few fans who act like dicks.

  • No stalking needed. You've posted on God knows how many Jordan videos, and I just happen to be a fan who's tired of reading your comments every time I try to watch a video with him in it.

    Also, you don't think Jordan sucks? Then why do you make so many negative posts about him on videos that are obviously going to feature him?

  • mikenotnumber1: Look, I've seen you post this kind of shit before on other Michael videos where you end up calling whoever you're arguing with a faggot and then go on a rant talking about how much Jordan sucks. How about posting something new for once?

  • MJ is the Greatest, dumbass. Even Magic had said, "there's Michael and their is the rest of us." Nobody could stop MJ, he was unguardable, dumbass mofo.

  • Lol......and since when does Magic dictate the NBA? Stop bitching, it's a phantom call like I said before. The defender is a foot away not even touching MJ and they whistle him for a foul.

  • larry bird said: maybe god disguised as michael jordan

  • I think it's a legit foul. Starks clearly had his hands on him before he got his shot off.

  • Then the shot shouldnt have counted, and it should have been bulls ball on the sideline. It was still a bad call.

  • "Delete your life cause I seriously do not care faggot. "

    Aww, sounds like someone found some gay porn on daddy's computer when they were 12 and wants to take out their frustration on the gay community. Fuck you and everyone else with your mentality, you homophobic piece of shit.

  • Well what do you think of this video?

  • Michael is god.

  • If it was a no foul or a travel do you not think starks and all of the knicks team, management and fans in the background would have contested it? hello mj had to get those cheap fould cuz the knicks wanted to play him dirty and cheap fouls to try beat him

  • mj would score 100 in today's game. That was a foul as soon as he touched him. LOL.

  • In today's game, the minute starks got up into MJ muscling & handchecking him, it would've been an INSTANT foul..

  • Wow MJ really fucked with John Starks

    Anyway Great upload

  • Good ol' Jordan. Got away with palming and carrying more than any other player in NBA history. But hey, it's MJ, he's allowed to...

  • a.i. has been the biggest carrier in nba history. he reinvented carrying, took it to a new level, and called it a "crossover"...

  • haha yeah what makes him impossible to guard is that he traveled before he bounced the ball. also that foul came before he picked up the dribble to shoot.

  • all im sayin is Michael Jordan is a tremendous talent so why do u have to be so negative towards him. He has 6 rings!!! also with the help of pippen. delete your account cause seriously u sound like an idiot, but u do know basketball but dont use it against Jordan, and im not a jordan lover i just think he is the greatest player ever.

  • u have no life. ive seen u makin these long ass comments all the time and yet i know u suck balls at basketball. you should be humbled by michael jordan because u CANT PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how does it feel to be owned idiot. I would rake you in b-ball so keep talkin shit about the great

  • that should have been a no call

  • Michael Joran is on fire!! Classic Marv Albert

  • anyone notice the ref at :01 looked a lot like OJ Simpson?

  • didn't he travel?

  • This is why Knicks couldnt beat the Bulls because of stupid calls like that. WHY? because hes M.J. but yea starks didnt touch him..nor did he touch him on the way up..whoever said that..this is one of those bullshit nba sissy calls.

  • If this was a Lolcats it would be "Invisible Foul."

  • hit on the way up not on the release.

  • starks didn't even touch him

  • This is a funny clip. Obvious travel by mj but not such an obvious foul...

  • there was no travel

  • oh I thought when you lift up your pivot foot it's a travel

  • bobomber hit it on the nose. He lifted his pivot foot before driving, that's a travel. But ya, he's MJ. He can do watever the fuk he wants an we'll all still love him. Plus, everybody travels in the NBA.

  • moves left pivet foot=travel

  • im a huge jordan fan but wow that was such a suspect call

  • 0:10 o.O

  • Talk about a phantom foul! This was a very typical scence for MJ. Worst I ever saw was the Portland-Chicago Finals. Portland was better but if anyone even looked at MJ he was at the line.

  • Man....look at the video, Starks is a clear 2-3 feet away from Jordan's elbow when they blow the whistle.

    This is one of the most absurd and 1's I've ever seen. He never got this sort of honor from refs in the 80s, only in the 90s when the Jordan media wave was full blitz.

  • MJ got royal treatment more so than any other player in league history. He was the media darling because Bird-Magic faded & the greatest rivalry of all time ended. The NBA was afraid after Bird & Magic that the league would suffer so they needed to give the league a new identity. If you even looked at MJ he was at the line. I love basketball but I actually stopped watching the Portland Bulls final. It was the worst officiating ever & it cost Portland the Championship! Complete BS

  • wtf are u serious...starks clearly pushed him on the waist how is that not a foul

  • Get real, Jordan was the most overrated player in sports history.

    Sure he was Great , however lets always remember that NO player ever got such preferential treatment by the Refs, you practically couldnt breathe on the guy and the Refs were always there to "protect" the NBA money machine.

    Also Jordan was a very agressive physical intense defender , and he rarely was called for fouls, he was allowed to practically Mug guys and there was rarely a call.

    The League knew he was their meal ticket

  • At least someone can see this bogus phantom foul on Starks.

    How on earth does someone standing 2 feet away from the offensive player get whistled for a defensive foul?

  • guy, I am talking about when jordan made his move to the right, do you not see Starks shoving him on the waist?? Clearly just a late whistle or somethin... that def was a foul. Sorry that y'all hate Jordan and all, I'm not here to try to change your minds or anything I'm just talkin about the play in question.....

  • love the pic at .07

  • Starks hit him on his left arm as he was going up. And he was hugging him before he even started to dribble. And even though they were physical games, anytime you hit someone on the arm when they're shooting they've always called it. I will agree Jordan did move his pivot foot. But if you watch 99% of Patrick Ewing's moves, he traveled too.

  • starks didn't touch him

  • The nba hasn't had the same feel since MU left. We've had a bunch of substitutes, but nothing like MJ. secondly the nba lack authentic rivaries. The bulls Knicks rivary or should I say Chicago NY rivary was at its best back then. This is back when I wouldn't miss a game of basketball, but now I can miss several months of basketball and its doesn't even matter. Just not the same magic, but its not bad.

  • I agree. The Bulls 1998 championship was the end of an era, not just in Chicago, but for the league. No more Jordan, but also no more continuity within a team. Guys are shuffled around so much now, its not as fun to watch a team. The Knicks Bulls rivalry was great, every year Jordan,Pip, Grant, Paxson against Starks, Ewing, Mason, Oakley. Now its about buying up super stars to get a title, instead of watching teams develop and improve over the years.

  • ya|| sound like bitt knick fanz; and 1 bitches

  • Yeah MJ is moreso impossible to guard if you're gonna call bullshit fouls like this one.

  • He Traveled

  • You mean that's a foul? lol.

  • starks was pushing him at the hip as jordan began to drive. they just call it late. NYC played Jordan dirty back then.

  • damn look at jordan leg muscle on 0:02. Thats wat made him Air Jordan.

  • Looks like they called the foul because (or thinking that) Starks' arm/hand came across Jordan's elbows as he went up for the shot before he got off the ground. Watch it closely. I agree that it was a weak call though considering how they let the Knicks mug him at all other times lol.

  • There definitely wasn't a foul on the shot. They could have called one before cuz Starks had his hands all over him, but when he went up to shoot starks was about a foot back.

  • daddy jordan at :5

  • Bro i miss it like crazy, the nba today is not even close. Those Bulls knicks series would shut down chitown and Newyork.

  • im with you on that nothing can compare 2 the bulls/knicks series back in the day i miss it so much man

  • No one will ever do it better. They did not call those type of fouls back then.

  • ye bruh im with u on that aint no one do it like mike did hes the KING, no one touching him hes in his own categorie on a whole different level

  • Sick Shot

  • i miss seeing MJ abusing guys like john starks etc. just murking all the great defenders & defenses with sick shots like this

  • yes it was a late foul

  • where's the foul?

  • maybe it was a late whistle

  • Beautiful shot, but that was not a foul!

  • travel!!!moved his pivot foot before dribbling(right in front of the ref too)...styll nice shot by the greatest!

  • timeout where is the foul?

  • There's no doubt Jordan is one of the best players, if not the best in all of NBA history...But that's not a foul!!!

    Nice move though..
