Michael Jordan 1990: 33 points vs Pistons (Game 1)

[kenelyn1000]

fuck ESPN you did'nt respect the greatness of the sleeping dragon, MJ. you are comparing to a little crying dog Kobe... Kobe is far far far far far1100000000000000000000x away to MJ's greatness...period

[skillz0122]

No player had a tougher time getting to the promised land then Jordan. There was no 3 sec defense violations in these days and "The Jordan Rules" were brutal.

[ryanrayonec]

Watch Rodman at 4:10 threw him down.

[Lweesee]

I like how even though Michael Jordan got hurt on that one play against Rodman,he still fights through it and still plays hard

Thats Michael Jordan for you

[Lakersgay]

This is basketball at its best, not that pussy shit we have these days!!!

[Lakersgay]

Laimbeer has one uglyass jumpshot!

[alaskanmarine1]

His Buzzer beater three is one of my all-time favorite MJ shots, There's closer video of this shot on his "michael jordan's playground" video. He jumps with dumars in front and double pumps with rodman to the side and behind him, just an insane shot.

[utfanatic2000]

Gotta love that Laimbeer tippy-toe 3 pointer!

[bigdplaya25]

Jordan SO tough!

[dimedropper1992]

i bet you that no one ever played as good as jordan when injured

[Amir883]

Jordan played this entire series with an injured hip. And to watch him play and execute a great move then noticeably limp is incredible. I wish the NBA were still this good.

[waffleirontmacsp1at]

Nobody in NBA history faced the kind of defense Jordan did this often and came out on top. most of these fragile bastards playing today would be slaughtered and injured before their careers got off the ground today's nba is pussy compared to this brand of ball how could anything be called defense if it doesn't offer any resistance?

[mnkhan2020]

Thats what many faggot kobe homers never understand. They think Kobe scoring 60+ is same as MJ scoring 60+. If you look at these MJ games when he went for 40+ against pistons all need to be upconverted to today's rules. Yes ALL OF THEM. all those 40+ MJ piston games are easily 60+ pts games. shows clearly how hard MJ had to work for each pt. Put that MJ against defense Kobe faced. Its 60+ pts easily

[ebags18]

Get off of kobe and jordan dick you don't know what kobe would've done in those days you bitch!!!!!!!!!!! you ain't no fucking miss cleo lol. and stop sending me them gay ass comments.

[heping10]

If you still think KB is greater than MJ, stop watching MJ games.

[ebags18]

suck my dick !!!!!!!!!!! i can watch a jordan game if i want to bitch

[heping10]

ya...come...tweety bird..haha...bitchy bitch

[ebags18]

your a clown!!!!!!!!!!!! ass homo

[heping10]

ya.. likewise...haha

[ebags18]

like i said before suck a dick bitch!!!!!!!

[mnkhan2020]

while watching this game. replace MJ with Kobe here. You'll see him average 15ppg thru all 7 games against pistons.

[ebags18]

@mnkhan2020 Yo get off of kobe's dick everytime i see your punk ass commenting on one of jordan videos you got kobe name in your mouth.Your a true HATER youe really need to let jordan rest we all know he good so don't try to throw shade at kobe to boost jordan up cause your looking like a real dickhead right now you clown.

[waffleirontmacsp1at]

The dunk at the 6:00 mark was fuckin fearsome..... Jordan wasn't fuckin around with the ball on that one. He was daring anyone to jump with him.....he'd put one of those piston bastards through the hoop with the ball. Jordan kicked the pistons ass then he had to deal with the knicks in the up in coming years.

[flight23magic32]

Did u notice how Rodman shoved MJ in the waist at the 4.09 mark? What a cheap shot artist...Another thing guys...I saw that game (tjhunt76 has it on his channel along with the complete series among other great series) and I admire how MJ even though he took a beating he kept attackin.The only other guy who'd do that is A.I...

[mnkhan2020]

Just goes to show, Kobe should not even be mentioned in same breath as Mike. You think Kobe can ever take such hard fouls & score more than 18ppg or go thru the series without injury. Fucking ESPN making a mockery of MJ by constantly insulting him & comparing him to cheap mimicry artist called Kobe Bryant.

[flight23magic32]

I think that Kobe is a very skillful player and one of the best of all time no doubt about it. But MJ is far greater as a leader. Kobe was not the man on the 3peat Lakers team and MJ was on his Bulls team!

[flight23magic32]

And it wasn't only MJ who took a beating but every superstar back then would get knocked down on their butt almost every time they drove to the hoop. Just remember game 4 of the 91 semis when Rodman (primarily) and Laimbeer pushed Pip to the basket support and they called a simple foul!

[flight23magic32]

And I also remember Larry Bird getting sandwiched between Laimbeer and Rodman I think and Bird punched Laimbeer in the face. Other guys who also punched him were Barkley and Parish...

[jaboo82681]

to be honest I just noticed the Rodman push, I though MJ just got hit while in the air and lost his balance

[flight23magic32]

Yeah...I hadn't notice that one neither...but somebody, I think it was therealbruceblitz, uploaded some vids that I think it's called Michael Jordan vs 90's defenses and one them shows Rodman shoving MJ and it has a close-up with an arrow showing it explicitly...talk about cheap-shots...

[jaboo82681]

you know what it was from Balthus23 who's video I was watching when i noticed it.

[flight23magic32]

Do u remember the shove Rodman gave Pip in game 4 of the 91 semis? He shoulda been ejected and they barely called a foul on that one. What about all the head-butts he gave him? And what about the spinning kick a la Van Damme he gave after Pip pumped faked, Rodman went up, Scottie went around him and while the worm was in the air he did a 180and kicked him in the face?

[flight23magic32]

Hey guys! Look at his stats at the 1.53 mark! DAMN!

[3cityjay]

40/7/7 in the playoffs...in the 90'...

Mike, what were you thinkin'?;)

[flight23magic32]

He would just go nuts in the playoffs especially against his favorite whipping boys (Craig Ehlo, Joe Dumars, Dan Majerle Gerald Wilkins and John Starks although the two latter ones hurt me cuz Im a Knicks fan)

[jaboo82681]

yeah he was a beast those 1st 2 rounds

[clarkman83]

The Jordan fall @ 3:20 ironically is one of his most played highlights...basically to emphasize his struggle against the Pistons but eventually he would become the six-time world champ he is today!

[jumpnam]

NBA champ mate. No other countries compete in the NBA : ) But anyway, I really wish defences could be this physical today. Rodman bumped Jordan then threw him down with his right arm. This kind of defence would expose so many of todays stars. Can you imagine Kevin Durant or Dirk Nowitski trying to score even 10 pts against this?

[jeditwinz]

Actually...Canada does. As much as we would like to forget the Raptors they do exist.

[jumpnam]

Ha ha. Poor Craptors.

[jeditwinz]

LOL

I can smell them from here

[popeyeisgood]

yea you are right. even though for sure jordan is the best in the world the world champion title is just a bit awkward.

[dv122]

just look at the pounding jordan took in this series and compare it to wade,lebron or kobe shooting 15+ FT's a game in the playoffs on defenders grazing their jersey. Jordan shot around 7-10 FTS a game in the playoffs on hard flagrant type fouls.

[flight23magic32]

U r right dude! In today's game u get called for a foul just by waving hello to Kobe, Bron-Bron and especially D-Wade! Remember the 2006 finals!

[mnkhan2020]

Kobe, Bron & Wade will be injured after 2 games against Bad Boys watching the whole series from the bench. MJ was one of a kind. Knew how to take pounding, endure it & still ave 40/7/7. Kobe will struggle to ave around 18/3/3 against pistons.

[ebags18]

get off kobe dick what the hell he have to do with jordan and the pistons you clown!!

[jaboo82681]

Thanks Em23 for posting this, I hope you get the rest of this series.....

[ForEmily23]

I'll get the rest of the series up within the next week or two.

[dv122]

the stats being accumulated today by lebron,wade, kobe and others degrade the stats accumulated by jordan. Jordan accumulated his stats against superior resistance. A slash to the basket today is nothing like a slash to the basket in jordans days. Completely different. Today you get easier movement, easier penetration, cleaner shots & you endure less of a pounding. It took more skills and athleticism to drive to the basket and get shots off in jordans day's

[flight23magic32]

U r absolutely right...today cutting to the basket is like cutting warm butter....

[dv122]

first ;-p
