  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • he makes 32 year old kobe look like shit. kobe was arguably as good as MJ at one time but Mj seems to have aged better than kobe is

  • he tru up and continued to throw up. then he trew up some more before he thru up. lol ahmad

  • TO UTAH FANS HOW DID THIS LOST TASTE LIKE THE FLU LOL

    

  • There is only one michael jordan and we are his students this performance was simply amazing, to go in utah city and play with the flu are you kidding me and win, sombody prolly put some shit in his food or drink because they knew if he was not sick he prolly dropped at least 38 lol thats what he did drop and if he wasnt sick lol the greatest performance by michael jordan SPECTACULAR

  • Damn I miss the 90s NBA finals,

  • And ppl compare Lebron to MJ?!? Some say Lebron is better ?!? Pippin you hating, ungrateful ass wanna be Jordan. You wouldn't have your game or your rings had u not played with Jordan! Remember that! Kobe is the closest comparison but not enough to be considered onMJs level

  • @SHOEsoSTUPID lol wade is closest comparison, kobe doesnt have michael's mentality

  • @SHOEsoSTUPID Pippen actually jinxed LeBrick with that comment. Just as planned. XD

  • He looked like shit but played terrific.....dude is the G.O.A.T

  • "I wanted it really bad".

  • Thumbs up if NBA 2k11 bought you here!

  • 44 people have never had the FLu.

  • NOBODY OUT WORKS MICHAEL JEFFREY JORDAN! NOBODY! YOU CAN WORK AS HARD AS HIM BUT YOU WON'T EVER SEE ANYONE IN BASKETBALL WORK HARDER THAN JORDAN, NOBODY! HE PLAYED AGAINST THE BEST AND INTO HIS EARLY 40'S AND BY THE TIME HE WAS 37 PEOPLE WHO CAME IN WITH HIM WERE AT THE END OF THEIR PROFESSIONAL CAREERS, JORDAN WAS STILL LEADING THE BULLS TO CHAMPIONSHIPS, WHILE LEADING THE LEAGUE IN SCORING! THIS IS LEGEND, THIS IS SPECIAL, THIS IS BASKETBALL, THIS MY FRIENDS IS MICHAEL JEFFREY JORDAN!..A KING!

  • @vincespell He won his last champ. at 35. Good stuff tho.

  • This is the shit lol I don't actually remember this because I was only 7.

    But 2:12 was beast haha

    Nobody had potential like Him.

  • how can such an epic video like this have less views than that of a fucking cat running around or a child biting another's finger? fml

  • @5:38 Sloan's face expression : I thought he was sick ?!

  • The world needs real heroes - not fake heroes like sports figures who get kazillion dollar salaries to put their balls in holes. TV and radio stations spend endless meaningless hours analyzing those meaningless statistics and calling it news! While we focus on trivia about the bankster owned sports teams, your bankster sponsored goverment is busy changing laws and using your tax dollars to kill, maim, bomb and occupy other people's nations.

  • in every basket ball video i watch theres a faggot that brings up lebron to talk shit, get a life nigga u guyz are like tmz and shit

  • MJ was SICK, both ways.

  • now if only other chicago based athletes could do stuff like this *cough* jay cutler

  • Damn, Jordan was SICK in this game!

  • this is how u need to play in nba finals...u are dying and u play way better than regular seson...and u r the best in 4th guatter :D

  • Why is Amad Rashad so close to Jordan's grill after the game if he's got the flu? I think they were lovers.

  • "It's all about desire, we wanted it really bad. I was really tired but I wanted it really bad." Interview with the reporter. That's what set MJ apart from so many other players of his or any other time.

  • who else can do this at 34 with a flu???

  • @coolarrow737

    Or maybe because you don't have the evidence. If so you could send me the link.

  • MJ would have kobe and Lebron for breakfast on any given night in his prime!! enough said!!

    

  • @GQneatFreak

    He would have drank their milkshake.

  • 44 people dont know who MJ is

  • LeBron James can't produce performances like this in finals even when he is completely healthy. Jordan steps up in big games, LeBron goes missing.

    Anyone who thinks LeBron James is better than Michael Jordan knows nothing about basketball.

  • If LBJ had 38 points (without a cold) it would be his season high and the Heat would have won the Championship!!!!

  • Lebron can't even score 5 points in the 4th qtr at home in the finals without being sick........STFU about lebron and saying MJ faked it. Its all in his facial expressions. He look like a sad and sick dog and still clutch. If you think this is fake, press Alt + F4 or log off

  • Jordan = the KING

    lebron = primadona queen

    wade = talented flopper thug

  • Sick or not

    1. This is the Finals

    2. Jazz's Home court

    3. He was friggin clutch in the 4th

  • MJ is the king

    Kobe is the prince

    And LeBron is the jester

  • @hipp345 Fuck Kobe, he's trash and a horrible man.

  • nobody never mentions kobe! he's the only player close to jordans caliber as a full on player! but lebron has no rings 1 finals appearance and he's better than kobe & jordan? GTFOH!! kobe had a team by himself for 4 years! been to the finals 4 years straight won 2, 5 total! if he had a squad! he would definitely have more rings than jordan!

  • @co0li30a9 i completely agree. Behind Jordan, is Kobe. Lebron James isn't even close. Dwayne Wade is better than Lebron to me.

  • @co0li30a9 "if he had a squad! he would definitely have more rings than jordan!" You are crazy, Kobe Had Top centers for all 5 of his chips Pau Gasol and Shaq a case could be made Pau and Shaq were better than Kobe at different points. Jordan had Pippen and only for the last three did he have Rodman, Kobe's team was always stacked with talent when he went to the finals.

  • @beniceokay haha yeah I remember when the Lakers got Gasol for practically nothing. When I heard about it I was like WTF?

  • The problem with today's NBA players they talk too much. Don't spend your energy flapping your gums, use that energy to practice harder and get better. Also I think too many "stars" of the NBA like sitting on the bench too much, if you get tired so easily it's probably because your conditioning isn't up to snuff, get in the gym and get back to the basics.

  • To all idiots tryin to discredit Jordan saying he exaggerated: He scores 38 clutch points cause thats what it took to beat the Jazz. His teammates with the exception of Scottie could not be relied upon to score. Like you bitches won't call in sick. You probably couldnt even log on Youtube to make dumbass comments if you had the flu, let alone lift your head off the bed

  • some people say that he wasnt reasllyyy sick and that he was faking it for the publicity and when i hear that i just say WOW SHUT THE FUCK UP you can easily tell by his facial expressions and the way he walks and runs that he is physically ill..........................O­ne of if not the most amazing performance in finals history

  • "Me as the leader " When is the last time you heard LeBron say this?

  • @ferrarimike23

    Youre obviously a fan or groupie of LBJ....which is fine....but please dont say something was overrated when you werent even there to witness any of it.. Youre just exposing your idiocy/hate.

  • @ferrarimike23 Wow, overrated huh. You are a tool and don't know jack about bball. 38Pts when feeling like shit. Do yourself a favor and get LBJ's balls out of your mouth so you aren't so blinded by your ignorance. LBJ himself menions MJ is the greatest he's ever seen thus far. "I'm not better than Jordan" coming from Bron himself. You probably didn't see this game in person.

  • MAFIA game.

  • If LeBron had a cold he would probably just sit out like a wuss

  • @kevin5fan He injured his elbow last year in Cleveland... It was hurting so bad that he quit against Boston.. LeBron needs to grow a par and watch rondo's elbow injury. That video is something LeBrick needs to see :)

  • @kevin5fan Haha so true!!

  • @kevin5fan he had a booboo on his elbow and shot a lefty free throw

  • Does LBJ better player than this man? Play a game with a flu and got a 38 points. Best player ever fvck u pippen your just jelous

  • the moves at 1:39 and 4:07 are definetly travels...he lifts his pivot before dribbling...Jordan is great and all but at times the refs tended to give him a clear advantage over his opponents, remember the push off on his "final shot"

  • @gwoppinallday Those refs definitely wasn't going to call a foul for that weak push. Back then the game was more physical and defenders gave you little to no room to work with. Now a days Russell would have been called for hand checking.

  • @gwoppinallday It's not traveling because he's going into a dribbling motion, that's just how the NBA defines it, it's like you're allow three steps if your last step is your jumping step

  • @SchiffRadiodotcom like you said he's going into a dribbling motion but hasn't started his dribbling motion before his pivot leaves the ground therefore it should've been called a travel...that's the problem with todays NBA, refs are accustomed to watering down the rules for the sake of players making entertaining plays. Lebron, Dwade and the likes can take as many steps soo long as they can make a highlight

  • greatest basketball shooter ever

  • fever, stomach flu and 38 pts in nba finals?!? GOAT

  • @ana230457 Why the fuck does every basketball video have this as the top rated comment. Fucking stupid.

  • LOL at Jim Gray at the left corner @ 5:49....dude that guy's a freakin leech.

  • at :34 look at his face looks like hell

  • this game showed a lot of determination and will power from MJ. G.OA.T!

  • michael jordan is god and kobe is jesus

  • @28mrjb please kobe is not jesus....get off his dick

  • @darislucy28 but jordan is god would you agree?

  • @28mrjb no Michael Jordan is just the greatest basketball player to ever play the game

  • @darislucy28 100% agree hes the god of basketball but dont get me wrong im still a laker and kobe fan but i also know basketball jordan is the goat

  • Kobe does play for the love of the game and simply "to win" just like Jordan did. I am not even a laker fan but I've watched plenty of basketball and watched kobe play through severely sprained ankles, broken fingers, and illnesses himself. I'm not saying Kobe is better than Jordan but there's no way you can say he plays only for the money.

  • kobe is a great player but he will never have the heart jordan had. Jordan plays for the love and kobe plays for the money.

  • and ppl still think kobe is on par with jordan?!??

  • @lobelia2 He is, fool.

  • @TheEsquire212

    u must be 8 yrs old

  • D ROSE TAKEIN IT NOWWWWW

  • LISTEN>>> HE PAVE THE WAY FOR KOBE>> LOL>> BUT THE TWO KOBE AND MJ BEST TO EVER PLAY AT SG

  • It's funny how bad kobe tries to be like him- his form, his moves, even the way he talks and does interviews.. i think he's incredible but he never was and never will be michael jordan

  • Jordan was Jordan EVERY SINGLE GAME! and every game was spectacular. this is why this guy was amazing. His presence was felt in every single game, even on days he did not shoot well he ended up with 30 points while still finding a way to dominate the game and also he was incredibly fun to watch. People compare Kobe to this guy but kobe is nowhere to be seen in alot of games. Jordan was one of a kind and that kind comes along only once in a lifetime if at all. glad it was in mine

  • Jordan never lost in the finals,kobe can never come close to jordan as a matter of fact no one can come close 2 jordan.im a miami heat fan i love lebron but kobe and lebron will never have the fire that jordan had not even in jordans last days.kobe might have 5 chips but he can never touch jordan. Jordan is the best player that has and ever will live and this game proves it

  • And this is why he is STILL the greatest ever!

  • @TheCircle000 nah

    MJ is better than the greatest.

  • @TheCircle000

    I don't agree. He is the gratest ever without any reason. He just IS.

  • @jkoruty

    I swear to god jkoruty. Please tell me you actually saw the 'quotes' that I put up. Please TELL me you aren't actually telling me shit that I already know. 

  • Don't ever underestimate the heart of a champion

  • person below me is retarded

  • lets be honest. If mj had gone up against the 2000 lakers, there would have been no "flu game". Mj went up against hornicek, stockton, russell, carr, etc. Do we actually think Fox, shaq, kobe, fisher, horry would have allowed this happen? No way! Jordan was lucky the lakers of 00-03 was assembled earlier.

  • @TheJackal325 Fuck you LA hippy faggot.

  • @TheRealEzzy dont be mad cause kobe is a greater basketball player. Kobe does it like it is...jordan just sits back and wishes he could live in kobe's shoes now.

  • @TheJackal325 Obvious Troll is obvious. Go D rose. Make Chicago proud.

  • @TheRealEzzy just ignore the retard

  • @TheJackal325 kobe hasnt got shit on mj

  • @pricedoggas Fact: MJ had a 100.2 degree fever when he played his flu game. Kobe had a 102.7 degree fever when he played his flu game against the Oklahoma thunder. Kobe was more fatigued. He was able to pull through and lead his team to a win. Kobe is the GOAT......MJ is just a sheep.

  • @kileer7 dude, where are your cited sources, these are doctored and biased. Besides, greatness is measured in championship rings, not by FG percentages. Kobe's auora is seen and felt all over the nba........people have to surf youtube to find mj's "auora".

  • Comment removed

  • @kileer7 ok, Mj looks better on paper. BUT, mj was good for the 90's...just like 'saved by the bell' and 'cranberries' were good for the 90's. Kobe and lebron will own the 2000's. One more ring and kobe will be as great as mj. We love to watch his laker games here in Myanmar. Kobe 2011

  • Comment removed

  • @kileer7 im not denying mj dominated. Im just saying kobe is more well rounded. And lebron is developing to be the next best thing after kobe and mj. Lebron, wade, bosh, and bibby would would pummel mj, pippen and rodman all day. Im simply saying mj was good for his time.

  • @kileer7 Well said. You make a lot of sense. Greetings from myanmar!

  • @TheJackal325

    You sir are an IDIOT! Those stats are the honest, stone-cold truth... something that Kobe-homers just can't STAND... because they just show the yawn CANYON between the achivements and accomplishments of Jordan and Bryant.

  • @kileer7 wow u put that much effort into that when everybody know mj is that much better

  • great performance but i dont understand why the jazz didnt go up in him knowing he prob didnt have nuff energy to drive to the rim..

  • This is my favorite MJ moment/game of all time...I mean there are so many that i like, but this right here tops them all

  • You can just tell by his face he's hurting

  • Comment removed

  • i hope derrick will do the same in the playoffs

  • 43 are from utha

  • Who wants to defend a sick player with a flu?

  • easy shit on 2k11 all you gotta do is post up with jordan when hes near the paint

  • Comment removed

  • you could tell right awaw he was sick ass fuck , no doubt the greatest to ever play the game .

  • There's Michael Jordan, and then there's everyone else. Magic Johnson couldn't be more right.

  • GOAT!!! 

  • Did Byron Russell double Pippen, leaving Jordan open with the game on the line?

  • He wasnt sick he was just hung over lol

  • @ARLW10 dumbass, this is MJ not kobe bryant we're talkin about here.

  • a true sportsmen

    if cristiano ronaldo had a broken nail he`d scream and hide

    MJ was on his death bed and still commited to his team and domminated (Y)

  • That, ladies and gentlemen. Is a true athlete. No bullshit. Just skill and domination, drive and passion. I'd KILL to be his woman. KILL!!!!!!

  • I grew up and live in Chicago and this game still gives me goosebumps. It also makes me even more pissed at jay cutler for not nutting up and playing the whole game in the NFC championship. 

  • @azt3cassas1n he tore his acl. if jordan did that he would have sat

  • @kalisperis me too men!

  • if i was guarding michael i would worry more about catching the flu then keeping him from scoring

  • when i saw he rose from his deathbed it made me click this video

  • I agree this is the greatest game he ever played. Nothing else ever came close at showing just what a true warrior he was. If he could pull this game out of the near-loss hamper for the Bulls, feeling as rotten as he obviously did, what excuse do the rest of us have for not performing up to our abilities?

  • I LOVE MJ

  • All hail His Airness

  • what an absolute champion. this just proves he didnt play for money he played for the team and his desire to win and play the game. lebron needs a good kick in the head and shown this clip

  • how can u compare urself with michael, mondi. u wont - he will... believe me, he is very special - better say very unique. omg i remember when i played bball in my second year. i was 9 years old and my couch said: there is new player out there, his name is michael jordan - he will be really good. thAt was 1985... good old days - money destroys it all - fuck capitalism ^^ i wont my 90s back, bulls, dr. dre, first girlfriend - ahhh live was sweet *gg*

  • @werkannderwird

    Dude, your couch could talk? Wild.

  • @czech4x lol yeah sometimes, i wonder why...^^ but i ment my coach...

  • LeBron would never have played if he had the flu

  • @xsylom i think rudy gay played with the flu this season and had like 26 pts

  • The 40 dislikes are all the players who guarded MJ, tried stopping him and failed.

  • He looks so sick..Man

  • @Aspiringsurgeon Of cousre..he put fucking powder on his hands....lol

  • Does anyone ever think MJ is Faking The Flu

    Its just un humaly possible to do that i cant even walk when i have the flu let alone drop 40 points

  • 5:16 was just a special moment. Batman carrying Superman to the Bench after a hard day. (teary eye)

  • @mistanderson It really was. that was one of my favorite moments of MJ.

  • Swine flu makes Jordan fly.

  • I get the flu i don't go to school i don't even play 2k.

    MJ gets the flu drops 38 points grabs 7 rebounds and gets 3 steals.

    How does that work?

  • @Virqinity lol

  • @Virqinity you are a pussy and jordan is a legendary beast of a man. there is your answer

  • @Virqinity Because with superstars they usually exaggerate their pain, injuies or illness to make them look better. The same thing happened with Kobe just recently.. They were saying he got a severe ankle sprain and the next thing you know he does 2 dunks in 1 game that he wasn't doing even when he was healthy. Trust me Jordan was great and can play through stuff but NO ONE would be playing basketball with the flu in its prime. He probably was sick but not unbearibly ill.

  • @KobeConfidence you have no idea what you are talking about.....you act like you knew him and knew exactly how he felt.....get off kobe's dick please

  • @darislucy28 You're a moron never did I mention or make any comparisons of either of the players. When you have the flu you puke when you lay sick in bed. Jordan didn't puke and he was running up and down the court... Don't tell me MJ is a god. He wouldn't have played in that game if he had the real flu on that day.

  • @KobeConfidence losers like you puke and lay sick in bed all day...

  • @KobeConfidence if you listen to the announcer he says that he was puking up the whole night.....so SHUT UP

  • @KobeConfidence Go kill yourself.

  • makes it look so easy

  • god american sports commentators are so boring. Go learn something from Futbol announcers around the world.

  • this man is legendary he deserve all the praise because he work hard and pratice every day when people told him he will not make it and he did but the flu still coudln't stop him lol why was bill gaurding him lol

  • this man is legendary he deserve all the praise because he work hard and pratice every day when people told him he will not make it and he did but the flu still coudln't stop him lol

  • jazz are the best fk the bullz

  • oh them uptempos

  • Lol Jordan's normal layup would be considered a Play of the day today

  • This dude is insane, unbelievable, great, legendary, u name it.

    IT IS CRAZY!!!

  • @shawdowofcol 10x scoring titles, 2x Olympic Gold medalist, Naismith award winner, NCAA National Champion. It just goes on and on. He was the best ever.

  • MJ = My Hero

  • you can really see in his eyes the pain of feeling the flu he had, plus the tireness on the game, dont take away the pressure and the mental challenges that took over MJ during that time, but he was still able to pull off a win? who can match MJ on the court? no one, stop comparing any players to this player, even kobe doesn't match him. im a laker fan, and a kobe fan, kobe's just the closest to MJ but still far from him.

  • simply amazing...

  • 41 people had the flu and were to pussy to press the like buttton
