Michael Jordan 1993: 49pts Vs. Warriors (Mullin, Hardaway)

[nitotech]

You moron Jordan fans this game Jordan was single covered the whole game. Terrible defense. Never made Jordan give up the ball. Terrible. While in today's game they make Kobe give up the ball so that his teammates beat them not Kobe.

[HooliganMovement]

Young Mullin >>> Any Kobe Ever.

[phraedusthamusicdigr]

Wow at 2:30 I didn't realize Mullin was so good back then.

[GreatkingAlexander]

the god of the nba the bulls never needed jesus they had god

[Mraloneandsad]

only my nba 2k10 player is better than mj

[timothyjesus]

5:52 MJ closed his eyes for Free Throw.

[Beez827]

4:22 damn

[slipknoterman]

was michael ever out of the zone?

[Snaxx11]

WHO THE HELL IS THE GIRL WHO KEEPS SCREAMING EVERYTIME MJ SCORES?!!!

[stosmann]

even at a young age, you can see Mike's shot was st8 cash!! LOL once he got that turnaround down, game was over! G.O.A.T!!!

[dscjuke21]

2dislikes.. them 2 ppl need to get off kobes nuts, he sucks look at him now!!!!!

[LikeVids1001]

Micheal Jordan= 49 pts, 7 asts

Kobe Bryant=49 pts, 2sts <----- pathetic

[plannja21]

@LikeVids1001 Kobe Bryant = 81 points

Michael Jordan = 69 points <----------- pathet.... OH Wait.. i don´t give a fuck

[LikeVids1001]

@plannja21 you shouldnt give a fuck because you cant say shit about him

[LikeVids1001]

kobe cant make free throws wit his eyes close

[LikeVids1001]

scottie fulls up on the right side... thought about it, takes it back. Micheal doesnt think!! the 3!? He got it! lmao!!

[RAV52]

Sometimes I wonder who enjoyed Michael's games more: The fans or Johnny "Red" Kerr!! I absolutely loved his cheerleader style of commentating during Bulls telecasts growing up!

[timfosho]

I like how jordan didn't drive a single time this whole game.

[timfosho]

my dad told me about this guy

[jlroberts2006]

jordan best player ever! andi dont know if anyone noticed but jordan closed his eyes on that last free throw and nothing but net!

[jlroberts2006]

jordan best player ever!

[aj11fan]

why is every jordan youtube clip theres an argument about kobe>jordan or jordan>kobe? lol bunch of kobe and jordan haters. just appreciate each player for what they are.

[GalaxyVoyage1]

LOL. Jordan decided to shoot the last free throw with his eyes close thinking, "Heck, why not.  No one challenged me in this game"

[779michael]

once again, MJ just showed off how to "shoot you to the death" with impeccable jump shot to grab 40,50+ points. He didn't have to bury his head into crowd to make tough shots....just goes like" relax boys, I can beat you effortlessly"

[Strat0Blues]

Man I could watch these MJ 58 points VS, MJ 52 points VS, MJ 60 points VS thingys all freeken day

[youngmeth87]

Kobe is not jordan ok we get it but he must be good if people talk about him on every jordan vid I go to. I mean what the hell let the man breathe. Unless he says he's the new jordan or better all these comments are pointless.

[Ups1dah]

@hoopsencyclopedia what was the date of this game?

[idster7]

they never should have traded mitch richmond for billy owens. but damn, michael makes it look so effortless.

[midwestking100]

great vid and game....if only mitch was still a warrior...this game wouldve been perfect!

[tellthetruthg]

mully schooled pippen look at the final stats, just too much MJ . he was matched up on Gray. Mully and pippen matched up and mullins had 32 and 4 asst which in todays standards is 12 asst . It got so bad for Pippen MJ took to guarding Mully. Why isn't he in the HOF? I bet if asked MJ , Magic , Drexler , Barkley would all say he is HOF . six yrs 50+ fg % and he shot a lot and I'm glad he did.

[GreatkingAlexander]

i love all yall motherfuckers for showing this shit one love to all mfs word life the past present and future word life

[uberathlete]

Watch how MJ uses the screen at 2:00. Such a simple simple play where he didn't even move that much from his point of origin. That is skill.

[69points]

look at this basket at 4:15, amazzzziiinnngg !!

[PJHunterTJ]

I wish some of these vidoes had other Bulls highlights.. Like Pippen's and Grant's moves... Cause Jordan was really a team guy.

[alltradespro]

some broad in the crowd was tryin to get some jordan cock that nite...screamin her lungs out!

i grew up watchin every warrior game in the 90's to this day...and for some reason I hear that announcer in my head when I'm high...

[jwilsondsu]

Simply the best

[Dartanion519]

I dunno, Chug. Mitch never helped them win 50 games. They did it twice with Billy. He made up for point loss with rebounds.1994-95 trade for Ricky Pierce and Seikaly were mistakes.

[qAtuBiFa]

double pump left hand off the glass

[mjordanisnumber1]

For those who say Pip'sD was better then mj's, they are mistaken. Pip was on Mullin most of the time, but he was too much for him. MJ came in with his quickness and intensity and shut Mullin down in the end. GOAT

[RohoicRamz94]

Jordan haters say Pippen gaurded the best players im like when?They try to find any excuse to make Jordan seem overrated.They use a different criteria for Jordan than any other player.

[mjordanisnumber1]

Aint that the truth.

They try to make it seem like Robin (Pip) was the main guy saving Batman's ass. Hell no! Robin helped Batman, and they were an incredible duo.

[MIKESOWELL]

Mr Chug do you mean Billy Owens?

[dpistons149]

the eyes close ft is not very hard. just follow threw as if your eyes were open.

[triklops]

That's basically true...but imagine you are in the NBA and try that and FAIL....you look like a fool !!! Not too many guys got the balls to do it...

[MrChug]

It was amazing how great Mike was but my comment has to be how quickly GS slid down Shit Hill when they traded Richmond for Billy Mills or whatever his name was, he suck donkey dick and I can't believe they did it till this day. Mitch knew his role on the team and would have stayed an all star AND kept the team competitive. Fuck the GS front office.

[luckylefty232323]

wtf? at 3:24..and mullin was wet...all Js 50%+ shooting...when I went to SJU this security guard that played SJU ball told me Mullin was a gym rat when he played at SJU.

Jordan the god of basketball...that mid range jumpshot of the dribble was a nightmare for defenders.

[relysaa]

5:55 closed eyes ? :)

[ortholamew]

I saw it too!

[codyjohnle]

thanks for the upload.

[greateststory72]

his mid range game is so flawless

[dv122]

he shot the last free throw with his eyes shut.

[adipancho]

yes he did :)

[MJisKingKobesuckss]

Air Jordan was 84-93. Kobe fans are rats the love comparing a 35 year old MJ to Kobe now. And MJ still won his last ring at 35. Where Kobe is getting owned in the finals.

[PrekezMatthe]

is it me.. or did he take the last free throw with his eyes closed?

[nunadas]

It's not you Prekez. And he's done that many times.

[HymanKaplan]

I think he was bored, nobody could stop him, he scored those 49 pts so easilly with no effort, so he need a little bit challenge for him, so he decided to shoot FT with closed eyes...

Now i understand why he left the game in 93..no challenge for him at all, he destroyd and dominated everybody and he was bored..

[beaumiller81]

Mullin was a MONSTER!!

[miserycitytexas]

yeah most definately. mr consitency is beyond underrated. just look at mullin's stats in 2:41. dude averaged over 25 points a game shooting 50%. those are fantastic numbers. its just too bad that by the time he got traded to a good team (reggie miller's pacers) he was past his prime.

[beaumiller81]

anyone that says kobe is better than "HIM" should be cockslapped

[tt09291979]

i agree 1000% on that!!

[francoisgrenier]

@beaumiller81 exactly, jordan was a cultural phenomenon

[YawningBoy]

@beaumiller81 they don't know that kobe actually tries to imitate michael jordan.

[GreatkingAlexander]

@beaumiller81 fakes b ball heads this generation don.t know shit about who started the foundation from the beginning and trust me kobe did not a damn foundation at all

[nuzzinaples]

a nice gesture by mike after yet another dominating performance by shooting that last free throw with his eyes closed.

[arkade2345]

that double pump at 4:12 is patent jordan. he did the same exact move against the Knicks in 97 and the TWolves in 98 and it always looks sick!

[arkade2345]

how is johnny kerr always slip those birthday announcements into the games?!?!?!

"Speaking of player of the week, congrats on jaimes sweet sixteen birhtday"

LOL!!! WTF!!!!

mj all day baby!

[iILMeeL]

"woah, double pump, left handed drag, off the glass and in, MY MAN" lmao.

[nuzzinaples]

all the talent, heart, and skll in the world. yet, he made people look so stupid with the fundamentals of the game as well. that pump fake he always did where the defender would jump out of their shoes and mike would just take a simple 1 dribble into a j. pure beauty.

[ronalabraham]

yup. that's why no current NBA player can claim to be the greatest of all time.

pure beauty.

[dpistons149]

haha mj should have gone to jail for raping the warriors so badly this game...

[HowieManzo23]

Haha the PA Announcer I forgot his name but I miss him at the Warrior games.

"... at the line, shoooooting... two"

he now does and has been doing the games for St Marys College the past like 8 years

[HowieManzo23]

This was Jordan's best game in Oakland I believe. He hated playing in Oakland because that's where he broke his foot early in his second season.

[Frozalone]

ur stupid afilson nobody have ever said kobe is better than mj ur stupid.

[twellsO18]

lol ur wrong Frozalone, many kobe fans have said that kobe's better than jordan..ur stupid

[afilson88]

I can't believe that people can say that kobe is better than JORDAN. That's total ignorance to me. Sure kobe has moments of greatness, and his skills are probably unmatched today, but to say that he or anyone is better than this guy is a joke! I dont think anyone could foresee that someone would play the game to the level that Jordan did. Pure professional!!

[mnkhan2020]

when Kobe homers & stupid NBA media puts Kobe in a same sentence as MJ, they are comparing 34-35 yrs old MJ or even 38-40 yrs old Wizards MJ to Kobe. BUT MJ between '84-'93. Forget it. Thats Air Jordan, Kobe is not even 10% of Air Jordan. Case closed. There was never an argument to begin with.

[benjiemooncakes]

haha he shot the free throw with his eyes closed at the end lolol

[liquidgold]

wow B.J Armstrong was RAIL THIN but boy could he shoot...but I think Craig Hodges was a better shooter than him IMO

[Ryuthon]

MJ ALL TIME GREATEST!! NO MATCH!!

[gmpitt71]

This was on my 21st B-Day, I remember this game well.

[grooveskin]

the zone the zone he's in it now!

[Rucks90]

Yes, Sprewell was a Rookie in the 1992-1993 Season....before he was called BABY MJ in the 1993-1994...

YOu know I don't understand why the warriors got rid of Mitch Richmond...he was such a Remarkable player...if he would've stayed, the Warriors would've been elite contenders for the FINALS.. Think about Mullin, Hardaway, Richmond, Sprewell, and C-Web in the 90's? would've been dynasty

[wuwuisaac]

MJ closed his eyes shooting the last free throw

[undien717]

haha- yeah. I remember when he did that. He was telling the other players that he can hit his free throws w/ his eyes closed, but he needed to prove it.

[mt883]

Hoops, do you happen to have the game from 1990 when MJ hit his career high 7 3's against the Warriors? I'd love to see that one.

[whiteboi626]

haha i bet you guys didtn notice somethings in this game @ 1:45 someone calls him a pussy and challengs jordan to shoot it. Bad person to challenge and after all the shooting battles between mullin and hardaway the last shot of clip Jordan already won the game and adds little bit dont mess with me I can do things you can never do and only dream of. Shoots with his eyes closed.

[noel8421]

wasn't spreewell part of this team?

[uberathlete]

I believe he was a rookie then.

[grasd2]

man the nba was so fun to watch back then.

[bwink23]

that cross the body, scoop to with left hand in the lane is absolutely nasty.

[lund246]

at 5;52 did he just close his eyes and take that free throw....lol

[uberathlete]

Yup, and he makes it. He's done it a couple of times.

[blast2blast]

"The ZONE", that's where Michael operated for most of his career

[MIKESOWELL]

i agree with hoops on mullin.even bird said that when they would shoot together, if he made 18 in a row, mullin would make 25.DAMN!

[SPARTAN92chris]

lol at the taking a ft with eyes closed

[TBlake34]

This is honestly the single thing that amazes me the most (after watching each of Hoops' videos like 5 times): how the hell does he end up with the rebounds at the end of every game? It's rediculous.

[hoopsencyclopedia]

That's called desire, knowledge, absurd competitiveness and perhaps a bit of psychic ability. I forgot who but one coach said back then that if he wanted to get a rebound when he absolutely had to, he'd pick MJ to get that rebound over EVERY center in the game.

[jordanlover23]

Exactly. There was actually a poll in Athlon Sports magazine around 1997 which asked coaches and analysts nationwide various questions like "who is the most flamboyant player ever?" and "who is the best scorer ever?" Well, one question was "if you needed a rebound at the end of a game, who do you take?" Jordan came in 3rd, behind Rodman and I think Moses or Barkley (and ahead of several other historic big men). Jordan's rebounding was always underrated.

[ta4life27]

@hoopsencyclopedia passion determernation,greatness love for the game hes my heroe

[isdaeekerman]

@hoopsencyclopedia lol a general manager once asked bob knight who he should pick in the 84 draft. bob knight replies michael jordan. the general manager says that he needs a center. bob knight tells him to play jordan at center.

[xavierdwight23]

@hoopsencyclopedia Doug Collins

[MrYoyoma33]

@hoopsencyclopedia um, hoops, your an asshole. why dont u try uploading one of jordans MANY FAILURES U FAGGOT NIGGER LOVING BITCH. oh thats right, u can only show us every jordan MADE SHHOT and win. fucking con artist. Jordan lost gamees and fuckedup plenty of times. but since ur a nigger loving coon, youll brainwash todays kids into thinking this cotton picking nigger was superhuman. fuck u. i want the truth.

[RyanTPollard]

@MrYoyoma33 wow did you really just say that? Jordan is the best. and so is yo mama

[jmoney718]

wheres spree if this is 1993

[tazbomberman]

Mullin was insane ...

a few weeks ago on ESPN Classic they had the Warriors vs Lakers in the 92 West Conference Semis i believe and Mullin would not miss no matter how far out he was or who was guarding him . it was the most impressive shooting performance i've ever seen

[bertotaker]

do you have this game on its enterity? ill love to have a copy of it, love that run tmc era, tc i should say

[hoopsencyclopedia]

But of course.

[nunadas]

And that eyes shut ft..That's Michael alright.

[nunadas]

Man oh man 3:23 that's pure footwork ability

[Bigturns33]

Michael the master of the mid range. Thats why he always use to talk about rythme. Young players need to learn that. Get to a point on the floor and elevate.. Watch him everytime he does it.

[rrTale]

His game is just dead gorgeous. Love the eyes shut ft. He mastered the game like no other

[gymman1031]

I would call Chris Mullin almost as pure of a shooter in his prime as Larry Bird and Pistol Pete. Also, had Mullin had the benefit of the 3-point line while at St. John's, he would have set a Big East and possibly an NCAA scoring record which never would have been broken. Anyone agree with me?

[hoopsencyclopedia]

Sometimes, I even feel that Mullin was the best shooter who ever lived. Or, maybe Bev Francis but I never saw Bev in his prime.

[hoopsencyclopedia]

Bevo Francis that is.

[MrChug]

@hoopsencyclopedia Yah, Mullin was one of the top 5 shooters that ever played the game and MY personal favorite ever. It was moreso that he had very little athletic ability and was so damn cerebral and such a hard worker that he was just better than most on the court. Nice comment hoops.

[OHHJORDAN]

Jordan shoots it with his eyes close, ohh man that never gets old

[alaskanmarine1]

He's simply a joy to watch.

[va3svd]

This was a huge game for him. He had a big mental block before this when he played in Golden State, after he broke his foot there in his second year. And Mitch Richmond always made him work hard offensively, but even though Richmond was gone this was a nice game for him.

[highonpsi]

best player ever

[jaboo82681]

Wasn't Latrell Sprewell on this team, If I remember right he was a rookie?

[diplo33]

Thank you so much for this one, MJ the best and as you can see i have most of your videos on my favorites

[Mikeyswoosh1]

He closed his eye before he shot his final free throw. (5:52) His shooting form was that good

[bm9tube]

OMG. the purest winner there will ever be. eyes closed at the FT line!

[drewfuss2006]

MJ was not human, but Mully was so pure with that stroke!

[blackadam06]

Damnit Hoops...u beat me to the punch with this one!! I was gonna upload this "SAME" game LOL!!

[jaboo82681]

Hey hoops I remember you posting some of this games highlights on your random 93 Jordan clip. Great clips though

[soleja1boy]

The move at 4:09 was just sick!!!

[jeanclaudemona]

ok then

[clearedfortakeoff]

top vid

[pissib]

haha mj closed his eyes 4 da last free throws

[GabJero]

8th lol

[GabJero]

haha im with the 1st 10 comments

[DTate1922]

and the stats of mullin at 240

[DTate1922]

yo hoops great vid man and the stats at 1:10 are unbelievable

[LatinD]

Thanks, hoops, for updating the video. It's too bad you lost all the comments. There should be a feature to take cases like this into account.

Again, great video. I enjoy each and every one of your edits, and hope that if you're ever done with MJ (is that even doable, to cover all of his great games?) you start doing the same for other great players.

Thanks for sharing.

[JayVenom]

What can you say. His midrange in this game was special. Who else can make a simple elbow j looks so nice or a pull up j that makes you rewind it.

[mazinger2]

MJ's game is so beautiful I remember rewinding most of the shots he missed too.  He could have shot 7-21 in any particular game and it was still a joy to watch.

[mlynch07]

Hey hoops. I know you responded to my inquiry because I received an e-mail notification; however, I couldn't see your comment because it said "video has been removed" when I clicked on the link to read the comments. Can you tell me again whether or not it's ok if I use some of your clips? Thanks

[hoopsencyclopedia]

Of course - all these images are meant to be shared all over the world. If you want to credit me for the edits though, that would be great.

[Finbobular2]

MJ's tip at 00:57 was classic :O

[Leperdriel]

First!

Again, a sick video.

Thank you.

[hoopsencyclopedia]

Folks, this is a re-upload of this game since the first one had the last 30 seconds cut off\ for some bizarre reason. The last free throw can be seen in its entirety now.
