MJ is by far and away the greatest of all time. I still get Goosebumps watching these old games. The NBA hasn't been the same without him and no player will ever come close to his level of greatness.
Jazz just kept chocking. Stockton misses, malone recovers, Malone MISSES both free throws. Then game six stockton misses, Michael makes it, Stockton misses again. Damn, Jazz just choked.
@ugotpimp MJ has better cumulative career averages than LBJ--if you compare them at 26, or through 8 seasons MJ's edge is even more pronounced--played better defense, and performed at a much higher level in the playoffs and Finals. However, LeBron is a great player who has a legitimate opportunity to retire top 10, you can hate his personality, but you got to admit he is great.
The real MVP( Michael Jordan) made the shots in the clutch. It's funny how people are so bias. They call LeBron a choker for not having a ring, yet Karl Malone, Charles Barkley, John Stockton, Steve Nash, Patrick Ewing, Allen Iverson, Reggie Miller and other hall of famers have never been called chokers for not been able to win it all. Steve Nash has not even reach the Finals yet he's never been called the names LeBron has been called.
The only reason people give LeBron such a hard time is because he calls himself "The King" and people try to hype him as the best player ever. Just let the guy's career play out and in a few years, we can see who he should be compared to. Comparing him to Jordan, at this point, is just stupid. He reminds me more of Magic Johnson than of Jordan. D-Wade is closer to Jordan than LJ is.
@truthisbest Yep, and you know the worst part, it was THE MEDIA that started giving him attention at age 14. It was the media that nicknamed him King James( and LeBron stupidly accepted it). It's some people in the media that compare him with a man that was untouchable in the NBA's biggest stage when LBJ shits his pants every time he reaches that stage.
I'm stating a comment, no offense intended. If someone asked me if I could compare Michael Jordan to today's NBA stars I would say three players. Kobe Bryant, because of his aggressive style of play, Dirk Nowitzki, because of his shooting talent, and Lebron James, ONLY, and I mean ONLY because of his high flying, dunking skills. (: THAT is Michael Jordan! Pretty Cool.
THE.GREATEST.OF.ALL.TIME. PERIOD!!!!!!! His Mystique, His Class, His Clutch Gene, His Personality, His Stats, His Individual Awards, His 6/6 NBA Championships, His 6/6 NBA Finals MVP's, and The List Can Go On Forever!!!! He Was The Athlete Of The Entire Century!!!!! And When This Century Is Over, They Will Take The Athlete Who Accomplished the Most and Put Him Up Against Jordan and There Will Be NO Comparison!!!!!
"You know I missed a free throw, Karl comes down and miss 2 free throws, so I mean MVP didn't do much down much down the stretch.. until I was able to knock a shot in down the stretch."
@DoomDarenxbourg he's 1 ring behind MJ...and? he's also behind MJ in points, rebounds, blocks, steals, assists, game winning shots, regular season MVPs, Finals MVP's n points average per game o and most points scored in the playoffs...btw Kobe wont be getting that 6th tying ring in June, sorry 2 break that 2 you, kiddo, lol
@jriv27 Just like jordan is behind Kobe in All-Star MVPs & Pts in 1 game, 81 to 69 in 3 OTs. And Kobe will win his 6th junior! I've been hearing Kobe won't win another title since 2009. Get a clue, this is Kobe league til he retires!
@DoomDarenxbourg ur kidding right? 81 points agaist who? the sorryass ranked in the bottom defense Toronto Raptors, lmfao!! yeah n Jordan would'nt score that many in this weak ass NBA that it is 2day, also All Star MVP's? MJ has 6 Finals MVP's, how many Kobe got? this is'nt Kobe's league cuz if he did'nt have an all star team around him which he pretty much does, his ass would'nt be winning shit, wat were the Lakers be4 Gasol got there? thats write 1st round victims, dont count on LA winnin son!
@jriv27 MJ had all stars around him to. Dont get me wrong i agree with u Jordan is better but u cant say kobe would suck without his team mates. Kobe is still a good player. With that logic Phil Jackson is the worst coach ever because he always had amazing players.
@realcoolboy17 But unlike jordan, Kobe & the Lakers will be back next year. This year reminds me when the magic kicked jordan's ass kick in the 1995 semifinals. And don't use that excuse he just came back for early retirment.
@DoomDarenxbourg um no. The lakers were up one already 118-117. so extending a lead is not the same. and come on man its on a rebound tip! I'm talkin about how jordan used to close out Playoffseries and games in the Finals at the buzzer - 1) '89 down one and hitting the game winner to win the series vs the Cavs in the deciding game 2) '93 hitting the shot at the buzzer against the Cavs again to close out the series 3) Hitting the buzzer beater in game one of the 97 Finals to win the game .
@quadence No, had Kobe not made that shot, Miller's freethrow on the next play after fox fouled him before the ball was inbounded would of tied the game. So that layup by Kobe was the game winner.
@DoomDarenxbourg it wasn't a layup it was a put back. jesus. you really don't get it. alright. give kobe that one "game winner" in the playoffs. If thats your standard then Jordan has over 10.
@DoomDarenxbourg stop lying boy you know if kobe asked you to bend over you would bend over and spread your butt cheeks......and its kobe that does the sucking..
@darislucy28 Considering the Lakers went to the Finals the previous 3 years & won Back2Back, last year didn't bug me to much. Yeah, the Lakers got swept, but the mavs beat everyone's ass last postseason. The young Thunder went down in 5 quick games in the WCF & then the ultimate upset when they beat the heat in 6 games! This *season its wide open! The heat & thunder will probaly choke again, the mavs are 1 & done, if the Lakers stay healthy, they can get back to the Finals.
when you need a big play with 4 seconds left...you give to MJ and get the hell out of his way! If you're guarding him in that situation you may as well just head to the locker room early cause you're not stopping him!
Bryon Russel should have never been given the assignment to guard Jordan...he was completly incapable of this task...Michael Jordan is the greatest and most clutch athlete of all time...Karl Malone is also a really really great athlete and one of, if not, the best Power Forwards of all-time.
Another thing about MJ as compared to Kobe, the KOBE fans want to say todays era is better defensively, with 3 second in the key, no handchecking, and Touch and Phantom Fouls... Right!!!!! Thats why MJ came back at 38-40 and was still scoring over 20pts and was in top 10 in scoring against that same competition of the 2000s
MJ = THE GOAT!!!!! No one will ever compare, because aside from stats which he dominates the one they consider closest to him KOBE. ANd also he MJ has so many signature finals moments. Kobe has shot about 40% in NBA finals, while MJ shoots 50% consistently. And clutch you cannot compare. Also MJ never had a dominant big man, which KOBE inherited in Shaq and then Paul Gasol was giftwrapped to the LAKERs by an ex laker who was part of the Grizzlies organization.
Jordan, Rodman and Pippen were three extremely driven individuals/players. You could see it in their eyes when they played, and they are also very smart. You don't see these kinds of players anymore. Kobe comes close, and there are some others, but not many. I think it's mostly today's culture, and the money that comes with it. Like Rodman said in his interviews back in the day, the players nowadays, he doesn't respect, because they don't respect the game of b-ball. So true.
It could have been a different story if the HOUSTON ROCKETS were the ones who went up against the CHICAGO BULLS in the 1997 NBA FINALS. The Rockets' BIG 3: Hakeem Olajuwon, Charles Barkley and Clyde Drexler against the Bulls BIG 3: Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman. Both teams were NBA Champions in the 1990s. If only the Rockets were not accidentally beaten by John Stockton and the Utah Jazz, the Rockets would have won the 1997 NBA Championship.
I knew all about Malone winning MVP over MJ in 1997(which Malone did NOT deserve); I knew all about MJ saying "mailman don't deliver on Sunday" before Malone bricked the 2 free throws.....what I never realized was MJ's "MVP didn't deliver down the stretch" comment after the game. HIGH comedy. Can't believe I never noticed that or heard about it.
@162sbombs haha I had no idea he said that - priceless... although scottie gets the credit for malone's free throws, he's the one that said that incredibly awesome mailman line
@162sbombs Pippen was the one that actually said that to Malone. And, I can't say that Malone didn't deserve the MVP. I do think that Jordan should have got it, but Malone had a great season, and to be fair Jordan's statistical output was a bit lower than his previous season.
@162sbombs By the way it was Scottie who told Malone, "Mailman don't deliver on Sunday" before he botched the throws. Pip with the unofficial assist on the buzzer beater. My favourite Jordan buzzer beater. So underrated. Also...anyone else realize that MJ bookended the two Bulls/Jazz series' with buzzer beaters? Game 1 '97 and Game 6 '98. The GOAT.
isn't this the game where before Malone takes the 2 free throws and misses Pippen walks up to him and tells him "The Mail Man don't deliver on Sunday's"
@EboK0942 i think announcers actually get paid nowadays to compare jordan with others today so to keep the nba profitable. but anybody can see that jordan was superior to the players today...
@utubedn813 hahahaha you maybe on to something although in the case of Mark Jackson its the memories of how many times MJ killed his championship dreams lol
@fifa1688 well they don't really need him to shoot the ball you know. the bulls at that time was so good, you would've thought they have michael jordan or something.
I prefer Bulls from 1991-1993 more than 1996-1998. The first one is more complete team than second, but the second one had more good players on bench. Also the first one is faster and younger, MJ was better at that time.
Today's great team ALL made by big trende thats big difference between 2 eras.
@fifa1688 still though, come on, Rodman was a great piece for the 96-98 Bulls at that time. It didn't matter if he couldn't shoot midrange or whatever. He was a very big piece.
Man these were the days Malone and Stockton, Jordan and Pippen, Dennis '' the worm'' Rodman 97', 98' two of the best nba finals in the history of Bball lets hope it keeps up from this season on good series from the Celts. and Lakers but nothing beats the NBA Finals in the windy city baby
isn't it so cool how we witnessed the best NBA player in history? we can tell our grandkids one day how this guy Michael Jordan was the sickest player ever
@TKSimbaPride Correct, but the guy above says Lebron will get a ring eventually which is more than likely true. But we are going to compare Lebrons one championship to MJs 6, and Kobe's 5th?
Its not a surprise if Kobe win 3 titles in a row because their biggest opponent the Celtics is now old and tired. There is no team can really compete with the Lakers since Gasol, Artest came. They can only lose themselves but not defeated by other teams.
Lakers is the only complete team in the league, they have outside, inside, defender, shooter, and the coach. It looks more complete than Bulls in 90s, Bulls didn't have really good center but Lakers have.
the greatest player/scorer all time, the 2 best wing defenders in nba history, arguably the best 1-2 punch, the greatest rebounder in nba history, possibly one of the greatest 6th men in nba history, and one of the greatest 3 point shooters in nba history.
MJ is by far and away the greatest of all time. I still get Goosebumps watching these old games. The NBA hasn't been the same without him and no player will ever come close to his level of greatness.

I knew all about Malone winning MVP over MJ in 1997(which Malone did NOT deserve); I knew all about MJ saying "mailman don't deliver on Sunday" before Malone bricked the 2 free throws.....what I never realized was MJ's "MVP didn't deliver down the stretch" comment after the game. HIGH comedy. Can't believe I never noticed that or heard about it.

He said, "MVPs didn't do much down the stretch." He was talking about himself as well as Karl Malone.

@162sbombs Pippen was the one that actually said that to Malone. And, I can't say that Malone didn't deserve the MVP. I do think that Jordan should have got it, but Malone had a great season, and to be fair Jordan's statistical output was a bit lower than his previous season.
MIKESOWELL 6 months ago
@162sbombs By the way it was Scottie who told Malone, "Mailman don't deliver on Sunday" before he botched the throws. Pip with the unofficial assist on the buzzer beater. My favourite Jordan buzzer beater. So underrated. Also...anyone else realize that MJ bookended the two Bulls/Jazz series' with buzzer beaters? Game 1 '97 and Game 6 '98. The GOAT.

I remember Rodman could score like 10-15 ppg in Pistons, I don't know why he looks like he doesn't know how to shoot the ball when he was in Bulls.
fifa1688 1 year ago
@fifa1688 well they don't really need him to shoot the ball you know. the bulls at that time was so good, you would've thought they have michael jordan or something.
damaster720 1 year ago
I prefer Bulls from 1991-1993 more than 1996-1998. The first one is more complete team than second, but the second one had more good players on bench. Also the first one is faster and younger, MJ was better at that time.
Today's great team ALL made by big trende thats big difference between 2 eras.
fifa1688 1 year ago
@fifa1688 still though, come on, Rodman was a great piece for the 96-98 Bulls at that time. It didn't matter if he couldn't shoot midrange or whatever. He was a very big piece.
damaster720 1 year ago

Even though Rodman was the greatest shooter, his rebounding made up for it. I was primarily a re bounder.

@TKSimbaPride Correct, but the guy above says Lebron will get a ring eventually which is more than likely true. But we are going to compare Lebrons one championship to MJs 6, and Kobe's 5th?

@TKSimbaPride So we are comparing Lebrons 1 ring to MJs 6, and Kobes 6th or 7th?
chicago85bearz 1 year ago
@chicago85bearz Right now, my feeling is that Kobe, may have just won his last title. That's just my opinion. We shall see.
davd1986 1 year ago
Its not a surprise if Kobe win 3 titles in a row because their biggest opponent the Celtics is now old and tired. There is no team can really compete with the Lakers since Gasol, Artest came. They can only lose themselves but not defeated by other teams.
Lakers is the only complete team in the league, they have outside, inside, defender, shooter, and the coach. It looks more complete than Bulls in 90s, Bulls didn't have really good center but Lakers have.
fifa1688 1 year ago
@fifa1688 the bulls were more complete.
the greatest player/scorer all time, the 2 best wing defenders in nba history, arguably the best 1-2 punch, the greatest rebounder in nba history, possibly one of the greatest 6th men in nba history, and one of the greatest 3 point shooters in nba history.
