[midwestking100]

Man I love the bulls black with red pinstripes unis!!!!....They dont make unis like this anymore in the NBA

[GreatkingAlexander]

the don has never left todays game suck ass real bad

[jumpnam]

Look at the form at 4:17. Perfect. He doesn't fire the ball from behind his head like some players today (Bron, Wade, which is a reason so many of their threes fall short) and there is no 'throwing' motion. He releases at the top of his jump and it's all under control. No wasted motion.

no contesto :)

hey, wont font do you use for the game title text.

[BIGBOSS1983100]

I wish MJ could play forever :D

[outspoken34]

Fans in Charlotte always knew they were gonna get a special performance from MJ every time he came to town

[ColtinNotChicken]

14 years later, MJ would buy the team that plays in that city now

[village1600]

@ColtinNotChicken I wish it could have been the hornets.

[ILoveMe2004]

classic jordan performance

[AwH22311]

Too easy

[kaliaelizabeth]

notice @ 3:39 - 3:53 MJ & Glen exchange shots. den a little trash talk on the side. dn @ 4:13 MJ boom 3 pts. typical MJ, in ur face.. love him.

[GRICHMAN1]

At 3:12 notice how they scream for help...for they knew he was bout to shit on somebody.....I luv this game!!!

[Jumpman1989]

what amaze me is the fact that Jordan had hundreds of games like that, when he could easily score 50 or more but 37 or 38 or 30 was just enough to win the game

[jaboo82681]

He did all that in 29min wow just imagine if this game was a close game....

[rrTale]

Thanks for the up Balthus I love how MJ looks on those XII'sin the last 3peat I don't have a doubt in my mind this was the season where he looked smoother. I love that competitivness between Michael and Rice, hitting shot after shot, but when MJ's hot you rarely stand a chance in a shooting contest. We're not talking about set shots. MJ would routinely hit shots other players past and present can only hit if they're really hot!.

[mnkhan2020]

@rrTale also like the fact that MJ went to the bench missing 40 pt game. all he needed was 1 more basket. today, wade, kobe, lebron of they are 2-3 pts shy of 40 pt or 50 pt game, they get it & then go to bench despite huge lead. MJ got tons of 38-39 pts games & 47-49 pts games that could've been 40 or 50 pt games. MJ NEVER EVER PLAYED FOR STATS.

[GlitchInMotion]

@mnkhan2020 come on, I think Jordan had his fair share of games where he fished to get the 40 or 50 too. especially during his prime, as he was also hitting the 60s.

what we should look up to MJ for is him not throwing your hands up and raising the roof every time he does a big shot or achieves a milestone like today's NBA players. you'd think they're in a fuckin WWE ring

[javiercox6964]

shit yo #VIDEOPOSTERID# this is so admireable if you want to learn how to dunk you need to start following this today - (50 inch vertical [dot] com)

let me know asap #VIDEOPOSTERID#

[jxn23]

Ridiculous.  I really wonder how many more games like this where MJ could have scored 50+ but he only played like 29 minutes because they were just killing their opposition.

Thanks for the upload as always Balthus

[BigCrockDawg]

I honestly hate to gush about Jordan because it's been done so many times, but his catch and shoot game was so good at this point in his career, he could've played a Ray Allen type of game and probably had as many points as he did with his post-ups and triangle shots. He really was complete

[saturndual32]

The play that starts at 3:11 is vintage Michael, its a shame nobody includes it on their highligh clips.

[falkner23]

he makes the game look so effortless and easy.. GOAT

[ksmall82]

MJ and Bird have the most effortless games I've ever seen. No movement wasted. Nothing extraneous. A little fake here, a jab step there, then boom! Two points in the defenders face. Perfect basketball.

Thanks for the upload!

[ShaolinSurfer777]

@ksmall82 Yeah MJ Mastered the art of Minimum Game at this stage of his career - Just pure efficiency without wasted much energy. In his Younger years, he loved to dance around and get by his opponents with pure athleticism. As he got older his game got more beautiful and craftier using jab steps, fakes and a couple of fade aways.
