Bulls vs. Knicks - 1995 (at MSG) Jordan 55 points

[kanguesso]

Jordan could have been the hero by taking that last fadeaway over 3 guys and probably cost his team the win but he dished it out to a wide open man under the basket. Had that been that other guy in LA, i believe he would have taken the shot over the 3 defenders and ignore the open man.

[EdmondLau2007]

The 90's were a really exciting time for basketball fans. The Bulls were like the circus coming to town. That was when they still allowed defense in basketball.

[Moeking23]

he traveled at 1:20 shuffled his feet, mike always traveled and it never used to get called

[EdmondLau2007]

Charles Smith was a bitch! What Jordan, Pippen and Grant did to him in Game 5 of the 1993 NBA Eastern Conference Finals was so deserving.  Having Jordan and Pippen on the same team was almost unfair.

[gibb7519]

i would take pippen over carmelo, kobe, and lebron! He was that good!

[2pacinseattle]

@gibb7519

He was great, but better than Kobe?

[ChannelXII]

Michael Jordan and Bill Wennington combined for 57 points in this game.

[cstefos]

@ChannelXII hahahahaha

[dlawson688]

Pippen owned the Knicks, 35points 15Rebounds crazy... and that was before Mike came back. Somebody send this video to Skip Bayless!

[blackedoute46]

it's how you score the 55 points. Kobe can score 81, but to match jordan's 55 points, kobe will need to score 500 points a game

[AdrianAquino22]

@blackedoute46 psss bullshit

[MaverickBison]

MJ thought to himself before the game-winning play, "Double-Nickel sounds better than 57", then proceeds to dish to Bill for the win.

[kanguesso]

WOW, this is a man, Jordan, who retired in his prime after turning 30 and came back 2 years later at the top of his game to embark on another 3 straight championship ride. You just don't do that. Jordan's legend is so huge, it is insane. Last time Jordan was in his prime was 12 or 13 years ago and he's still in the top 5 most popular athletes.

[OneGloriousBastard]

2:03 Jesus Christ look at Pippen's numbers against the Knicks that season. And that doesn't even count the game where he scored 25 in the first half against them the game after this one. He owned the hell out of that team in '95.

[kenniekennie]

this video has NO dislikes

[SwaggerLikeUz]

Scottie Pippen was always huge, love how MJ & Pippen shared the leadership role! True teammates all about winning, and filling the holes where needed. Great post!

[SteveWill1986]

Lebron, Kobe, whoever... NO ONE WILL EVER BE AS GOOD AS JORDAN...

[psainterlude]

20 points at the end of the first quarter. That's what I usually finish the game with. MJ forever!

[jaacjaac]

I still don't know why people keep saying pippen was not a good player

[farneyblakeley]

Perdue seemed like the ideal big stiff white dude to play with Jordan & Pippen. Too bad they had to get rid of him to get Rodman.

[LilyLondon1]

the man!

[BarstoolBlues33]

Scottie owned Charles Smith so much during their careers...

[tmackobe18]

his pull-up game is simply retarded

[TheAnalyst]

First of all: they never showed his 54th and 55th points.

Second: based of this, Jordan was stronger than Kobe and more lethal and accurate than LeBron.

[TheAnalyst]

Double Nickel!!

[rsohlich1]

No one comes close to MJ as far as the best ever. He was so unbelievable that anyone who didn't watch him just can't understand. I watched almost every game in the 90's and he was the BEST EVER.

[wheelersburg59]

he's the best

[houwie300]

Jordan scores 55... but Scottie is the fucking man!!!

[ncaafsufan]

I miss 90s NBA. This is the greatest rivalry in the NBA during that era!!

[moneyman237952]

what makes the bulls so great it when the knicks finally tie the game and the crowd is going crazy and looks like they are building momentum. Phil calmly sitting on the bench the bulls take it down the floor and on a pentration from jordan frees up scottie and pip goes glass and bulls go up again by 2.

[moneyman237952]

to show how soft the nba has gotten today. had that foul on pippen occured in todays game the trainer would have come out and they would have delayed the game and gone to commercial. the pussy nba players of today would have been taken into the locker room and the defender would have been thrown out of the game and possibly suspended for several games.

[gerosky77]

That scottie dunk was nasty,,,,

[rotary980]

The 94-95 knicks dont look so tough now haha.

[MrJohnnycai]

@rotary980 Stupid kids! Go asking some old basketball fans how tough the New York knicks was!

[kenn82draw]

What an awesome game! This took me back, I never missed a game on tv, J & Pip were electrifing!!

[sp0rtsbeast23]

u know hes gonna beast mode when he has the retro 10 chiacgos on:)

[TheAnalyst]

@sp0rtsbeast23 they werent retro back then lol

[1108hue]

2:49 best dunk thats never talked about

[kenn82draw]

@1108hue No doubt!

[TheAnalyst]

@1108hue wow didnt even notice he dunked it until i saw this comment

[ray12gtred]

we should show a lebron higlight reel of him driving to the lane and getting fouled 30 times

[RTR9]

"Scottie Pippen is Murder" hahah yessss

[urnuttynut]

I remember when jordan first retired. All these Bulls Fans became Knick fans in NJ. Then those Knick fans again became Bull fans... then they became Knick Fans. Then they became Nets fans. Then they became Laker fans. Then they became Cavs fans. People like this suck and should have their pubes set on fire

[timmyj26]

@urnuttynut they're called bandwagon-ers

[MIKESOWELL]

@urnuttynut They are bandwagoners. I cannot stand those types of fans.

[174HB]

I really liked John Starks, but he had no chance to stop Mr. Jordan

[TheEaglesfanindc]

got dayum starks got rape jordan stopper huh lol

[TheEaglesfanindc]

when i comeback like jordan wearin the 4 5 its weird to see but i like it

[mrbob424]

I WENT TO THIS GAME

[huevon14200006]

Starks = Jordan's Bitch

[kinfolk441]

@huevon14200006 - Any defender against Jordan was his bitch regardless.

[MovieHound17]

@huevon14200006 nba=Jordans Bitch

[EdmondLau2007]

@huevon14200006 It's a long list! LOL

[MrSneakers23]

awesome

[coijoi]

nice

[GIFinest05]

MJ was infatuated w/ John Starks lol

[savere2006]

These were the days.

[westshotgun]

this was only 5th game since he came back from baseball... its so amazing.

[Jumpman1989]

Starks hands were almost in every shot on Jordans face and still Michael was able to score.

Im so surprised that he didnt score 60 or more

[brettfred7]

Insane game by mj. One of his best i think. Also Pippens best dunk!

[kareem87said5]

I think Jordan gave his shoes to Spike Lee after this match

[tt09291979]

Classic game in a classic arena The Garden, the games now are never this hype at this magnitude!!

[TruBaller247]

jordan almost broke his leg

[dagooch11201]

i remember watching this live..

[DAB901]

Da sheer strength of Pippen. How many playas do u eva see a finish afta bein' flagrant fouled?

[BrutallyH0nest]

After seeing all the physical abuse Pippen took and the countless surgeries it's amazing his career lasted as long as it did. And that nasty spill Jordan took when Ewing tried to block his dunk attempt made me wince. There was no such thing as an easy dunk or layup against NY lol.

[triklops]

Wow, I did not remember that Ewing foul on MJ. Jordan landed really nasty on his right leg...could have made his first comeback a pretty short one.

[PeteThePrinceFTW]

Why did I think Purdue got the last dunk? Eitherway... another close Knick vs Bull loss for us. Still a terrific game. I miss these days of basketball and 90's Knicks.

[jaboo82681]

My all time favorite rivalry was when we played the Knicks. Basketball at its best

[PeteThePrinceFTW]

I have this game too AJ. Too bad we lost, but Ewing played good in the 2nd half and got some good blocks. God damn Will Perdue... lol.
