Blazers @ Bulls '92 Finals Game 1: Michael Jordan 39 points.

[MrCurrency01]

Here's Jordan for three...Yes!!

[brunoblood]

NBA good times..

[wannam01]

OOps i forgot they left him there and let him jack up 6 open threes that we'd expect role players to make in their sleep.

[wannam01]

People talk kobe having it easy because defenders nowadays are soft...but plz look at the terrible defense on the so call guy who managed to dominate the league despite hand checking rules.Why wasn't Clyde bodying up and using it to keep MJ on the perimeter and rely on the ferocious help defenders of the 90's to provide promt help?

[alexg3715]

@wannam01 I give kobe more credit than lebron. But Jordan number stands out more than kobe, time and time again jordan has 50+ in post season, and great defender as well. Also I think ESPN stated jordan made around 55-60%% of winning shots attempts. That is an astounishing number to me. Lebron well I think he only has had like one or 2 winning shots in his 9 yr career. Also jordan scored 69 against a elite team the celtics, Kobe scored 81 on one of the worst teams in that season.

[TheRedBull223]

Mike im open!.... Mike ur being triple teamed pass up the ball!..... nice shot Mike

[jarmoney87]

Fucking Kobe haters hes got 5 rings fellas dont forget that! Jordans simply the best though.

[jb111082]

@jarmoney87 so what if he does? He won those rings with the help of stellar teams.

[jarmoney87]

Fucking Kobe haters hes got 5 rings fellas dont forget that! Jordans simply the best though.

[UpWithTerps]

Clyde Drexler, you poor, poor bastard.

[mashinmonkey1]

jordan is the best and if you think lebron or kobe your messed up

[Zachrydaman]

Jordan could've had 50 in the 1st half. Actually IMO he COULD have broken the all time 100 point mark in this game.

[litoariel]

prime example of michael jordan in his PRIME!!

[TwizteDreamZ]

i no no one really cares, but how many points did drexler get against michael and the jordanaires

[badpdx]

@TwizteDreamZ: Drexler fared very well against MJ during the regular season, averaging 29 ppg on 51% shooting in the five years leading up to the 1992 Finals. In the Finals series, Clyde averaged 25 ppg, which was pretty much his season average. He shot only about 44%, though. So Clyde played pretty well. He didn't embarrass himself, especially considering that Pippen was helping out on him.

Unfortunately, though, Michael Jordan embarrassed him. MJ averaged over 35 ppg in this Finals.

[getyoasshome]

jordan could have went for 70 if the game wasnt a blow out.

[450rable]

at 36 seconds u can see how the defense was at this time... he jus runs away from jordan doesnt even try to block it or disrupt it at all its horrendous.

[bluzercic]

@450rable

how old are you ? 12 ? you do know that defence was a lot tougher in 90`s ? because of rules that exist today, you are not even allowed to touch the shooter. you really think people in nba fuckin finals would run away from michael air jordan ? clyde drexler ? you are one stupid man. child. whatever.

[AllDay7230]

michael jordan ate clyde drexler and the trail blazers like a fuckng cinnabon.

[Alliedboy117]

Michael Jordan>Kobe

thumbs up if you agree

also, what was more uh dramatic? Jordan's 6 3pointers in a half or Kobe's 13 3 pointers in one game?

[zazzdcz]

Kobe is just Jordan's apprentice.

[MrTaeTae03]

Man those highlight will always be a classic

[aBigSaltyDookie]

Ah, the Shrug. Epic.

MJ is the best ever. Nobody else really even comes close.

[Curtis7414]

Why are we talkin about Kobe dis a MJ video...For those who think Kobe sucks then go kill your're self da fact of the mattar if he wasn't any gd you guys would not even be arguing about him...and for those who think Kobe is betta than MJ also go Kill your self Cuz MJ is da GOAT Kobe is right behind tho

[astrospace23]

Whats the song that plays at 5:00 ??? Please, what the name ???

[astrospace23]

Whats the song that plays at 5:25 ??? Please, what the name ???

[R0yalGambit]

@astrospace23 In case you're still searching, the name of the song is Rock and Roll by Gary Glitter

[1troublesome1]

If u watch closely, it looks like Mj is embarrassed by how hot he was that night.

[malikpa83]

GREATEST F*KIN player of ALL-TIME

[75samuel75]

This is the best performance by a player I have ever seen. I was actually rooting for Portland but when he hit that last three, i was jumping around in my living room. Clyde was suppose to be the better shooter and on the same level with MJ that year, this was a total destruction.

[vinciano]

According to me Mj is on another planet respect to Kobe. Bryant isn't even on the level of players like Kareem and Magic.

[IRVINFU3NT3S]

I wonder if there were a lot of Jordan haters back then as much as Kobe haters. Can some one answere that.

[MichaelJordanTube]

@IRVINFU3NT3S Yes, there were, especially before ring #1

[Jackbookowski89]

Great stuff i found on the internet was mostly at NBAPremium(.)tk Kinda best NBA site i have ever found

[phirephaxL]

Stop hating on Kobe. He never said he was gonna be better than MJ. It's his pathetic fans that's destroying his name. Yes, you're right. He'll never be as good as Jordan.. but he's closest to him in this generation. And you haters must accept that fact that there is evolution.. MJ won't be the best forever. That's a fact.

And to those who said that they [LJ and KB] would be embarrassed by the Bulls Dynasty.. You'll never know. Kobe's team is as good as Jordan's now. IMO. Don't hate on me.

[bm9tube]

@phirephaxL: that's right. kobe said: "let me be me! we're talking about the best to ever play the game"

honestly, i don't think there will be someone mesmerizing fans, teamates, opponents and showing the same mix of strength, ambition, work ethic and of course success as mj. lbj may be more powerful, kobe may be more graceful, wade got a title sooner, but at the end of the day, mj got the whole package. and if someone is going to catch up on mj, he's certainly not playing in the nba yet.

[phirephaxL]

Thumbs up ! So, you agree with me that MJ is not gonna be greatest forever? For me, nothing is lasts forever. We are going forward, not going backwards. :)

[bm9tube]

@phirephaxL : of course not! some day, someone is going to come and surpass him. that's the nature of evolution. i'm only saying he set the bar so high that it's certainly not going to happen anytime soon.

[phirephaxL]

You got that right! Peace out. :]

[JcHunter66]

@phirephaxL kobe is better!

[IRVINFU3NT3S]

Calm Down, I hope your just joking.

[IRVINFU3NT3S]

I agree with you.

[Jumpman1989]

he could easily end up with 60+

[blowyourmind17]

that last three was cold

and that oop was sick

[bigdonniekool1]

he was actually fouled on it 2

[spyder79z]

the rebound/dunk at 4:17 ...WOW!

[Stlcards789]

@spyder79z that rebound/dunk was just sick!

[GSWCWATTS]

dirty at 2:05. tha shoulder shrug was pretty live 2.

[zjg5001]

Legendary look at 5:01...like even he can't believe any of this shit.

[lakersnbachamps2009]

worst defense ever

[lakersnbachamps2009]

THERES NO DEFENSE he gets the easiest looks. If he had to play against the celtics defense of this year he wouldnt have averaged 20 a game in the series

[scorpiostrikes]

You're right and Kobe would've never scored 81 against a team that's worth a shit. Raptors fuckin sucked ass when Kobe got 81. Kobe choked against the Celtics in the Finals. Pathetic. Lakers fans need to give this shit up. KOBE WILL NEVER BE AS GOOD AS JORDAN.

[eadymike]

No one could have said that better. Jordan threw threes all over Portland after it was said that Drexler is the better outside shooter. Kobe and LeBron would be embarrassed by the Bulls Dynasty if matched head to head.

[no1gunner14]

@scorpiostrikes but kobe scored 64 in 3 quarters against the Mavs, then the best team in the league.

[tommybrown187]

@no1gunner14 the same mavs team that lost int he 1st round to the 8th seed?

[no1gunner14]

@tommybrown187 but they had the best record, i think in the league

[lumipifeslb]

kobe should watch this to realize how weak he is compared to his airness

[dkouts07]

sickest thing abotu this game....he had 39 pts and 11 ast in 34 min....= 62 pts minimum he was key in producing

[gillls71]

Jordan is the greatest basketball player ever!!!

[rullakeppi]

Marv Albert is great! YES!!

[sexdrax]

MJ 1st 2nd PIPPEN

[ProMagicianBaller]

travel at 1:34

[ForEmily23]

big time...

[tyeloy]

no!!!

[leepjared]

greatest of all time

[heirjordan13]

hes the greatest

[KoachKrab127]

Blazers played horrible defense. They were leaving him wide open on every play! So funny, because their gameplan was to let him shoot the 3...well...that didn't work to well. Still, they should've stopped leaving him wide open after he made the 2nd one.

[JoshySmizzle]

this man is for real blowin drexler face off the map!! its too funny!!

[TBlake34]

It's too bad Portland couldn't keep this one close. It would have been awesome to watch him drop 60 or 70.

[nunadas]

Yeah he was definitely on pace for that. Kids are so in awe with today's stars that they dont realise what yesterday stars were capable of.

[TONYROMOIS4REAL]

mj is the best no one is close to him

[m1283]

i love how Marv Albert say " FOR THREEEEEEE"

[daUandUSC]

can you come back mj

[qTRUq]

luv that ball handle by MJ at 2:05

[N720MF]

That shoulder shrug. And the stat line comparison with Drexler ... wow.

[bballmemories]

SPMJ, great insight on how many minutes MJ played in the first half. I remembered watching the game thinking that he would go for 40+ by halftime but Phil sat him down for 6 minutes in the 2nd qtr. I was rooting him to go for 60+, to break his 63 pts but in the 2nd half he only took 4 shots because the game was already decided. He wasn't about stats.

[bballmemories]

Another story is that in the last game of 96-97 season against the Knicks, NBC was making a big deal how many points MJ needed to get his avg. back up to 30 ppg for the season. I think he would need to score 60-62 pts. MJ was hot early in the game but after halftime he got his teammates involved because the team was losing. He was more concerned about the W than his ppg.

[bballmemories]

Some people might have doubted him that he couldn't score at will the he used to (he was 34 then) but what happen was the very next week, the next Bulls telecast on NBC, game 2 against the Bullets, he scored 55 pts while shooting 22 of 35. The Bulls needed all 55 points to get the W. Just a quick lesson in history for all the younger fans.

[char4ever]

to bballmemories, i accidentally gave u a -negative rating on your comment. I am sorry.:(

[MIKESOWELL]

he needed 62 for the 30 AVG

[sprinthound]

mj could go for 70 or more in this game but he decided not to because he is going to involve his teamates more in the second half.

[srooklyn]

i forgot that right before that 6th 3 pointer... clyde put up an airball his on 3 point attempt 10 seconds earlier... hilarious!

[jp3813]

He did that same back-cut alley-oop to Drexler in the '92 All-Star game where Magic Johnson returned.

[mlynch07]

Ha, damn you beat me to it. I uploaded this game like 12 hours ago cause I didn't think anyone else had it up.

[nunadas]

Outstanding performance, great work SPMJ, much awaited post. Michael made a statement here in this game, he was the real MVP. And he got what..2 or 3 free throws? Did he even get 30 minutes of play? Cause he got 18 minutes in the first half, then he sat a good part of the 2nd half too. Let me know SPMJ.

[juju100000]

good upload spmj i will tell people u are uploading MJ vids.Keep it up

[jordanlover23]

It's important to note that Jordan scored 35 first half points despite sitting out at least 6:30 of the half. Amazing -- he could have easily had 42+ with the rhythm he had going.

[jaboo82681]

Your true no one has this game uploaded
