[Tru8276]

LOL 95% of the plays are for Michael Jordan and the other 5% end up in his hands anyway. - Joe Dumars

[billslover90]

@leshager2009 why pippen him and jordan were great teammates

[YawningBoy]

i like how he is it's all business

[SuperJM1980]

i really got to admire the why jordan kept coming at the pistons,he know they were out to get him,but he still kept coming at them,got to admire that.

[elmagomerlin03]

vernon maxwell fue mjeor defensor que dumars encima de jordan,..

[PhilBurr100]

Ahaha look what he did to mugsy @ 1:15

[MIXMASHUP]

dumars was niceeeeeeeeeeeee... he gave jordan all he could handle..

[rob23molina]

dumars was a good defender but it was only a matter of time to where MJ was going to surpass him he is too driven.

[Ryzon28]

this dude was baddddd when Grant hill was a piston too

[mikecvcc08]

cool video-i like how it ends.the mutual respect handshake.classy.dont see that as much anymore.

[blackezi3]

Joe Dumars is one of the greatest shooting guards of all time

[scorpionJB]

JOE DUMARS should have been voted one of the 50 greatest players ever, the reason being, he was clutch and had the responsibility of competing against JORDAN during playoff competition on both sides of the ball, offense and defense, and DETROIT won 2 titles in a row as a result....period

[Ryzon28]

@scorpionJB i agree

[jp3813]

Dumars definitely should've been the '89 DPOY.

[popp2crazy]

Mj will say himself Dumars was the best defender he ever played against... enough said

[Hotty6969]

@popp2crazy oh joe dumars and dennis rodman were the two best defenders i have ever seen and mj couldnt be super dominant like he is against others against them

so imagine them in todays game with old school rules i mean

no one in the league now would be able to do anything

MJ kind of overshadowed the great defense of dennis rodman and joe dumars because i mean its mj

but still dennis rodman and joe dumars best defenders ever

[rsx2]

@ 2:16. MJ was a master at this.

[2husky1]

hey sheedtastic.. when your the best player to ever walk the earth i think you can do whatever the fuck ya want

[popp2crazy]

lmao the best player to ever walk on earth?? MJ was great but he'll tell you Dumars shut him down...

[2husky1]

shut him down?!? thats giving dumars too much credit.. yes mj will said dumars was his toughest defender, but all in all, still the best player, EVER. no comparison.

[popp2crazy]

Thts your opinion tht hes the best player and I wont argue tht, all im saying is every great player has to have tht one defender in there era and Dumars had Jordans numbber for most of his career

[jp3813]

Dumars can't contain MJ by himself. That's why the Pistons devised the "Jordan Rules" defense. Here's a basic break down of how the Pistons defended MJ:

watch?v=NLv2F33snCE

[blackadam06]

"Dumars had Jordans numbber for most of his career"

Oh really?

80's MJ reg season ppg avg vs Detroit: 34.8 ppg

80's MJ playoff ppg avg vs Detroit: 30.0 ppg

U call that "having his # for most of his career"?

[Ryzon28]

@blackadam06 i hear ya.......but what be cool to know is what was jordans scoring average against dumars........

[blackadam06]

MJ's avg vs Dumars was 32ppg on 49% shooting, including games of 36, 37, 40, 37, 40, 40, 59, 49, 61, and 47..

Like I said, Dumars did about as good a job as one could possibly hope to do against him, but with an ppg avg & scoring totals/feats like that against him & the pistons, how someone can claim that "individually", Dumars "had his number" in ANY capacity, is beyond my comprehension..

[Ryzon28]

chit..... cool thanks for that man .........i hear ya on the "had his number" part..........the dude was unstoppable from day 1 in the league.....just really liked Joe D as a baller peace

[Domini478]

@popp2crazy Nobody could shut MJ down dumbass. MJ has the highest scoring avg in NBA History.

[LebronMVP4LIFE]

@Domini478 he never said that. and what he said is correct.

[Domini478]

@LebronMVP4LIFE He could not shut MJ down.

[LebronMVP4LIFE]

@Domini478 NOBODY EVER SAID HE COULD.  joe dumars defended MJ better than anyone else ever. fucking stop being so dumb. peace. you probably still dont understand lol

[Hotty6969]

@Domini478 nobody could shit down mj

but joe dumars did the best to "contain" him and give his team the best chance to win

nobody else could do that

[Daddy0089]

MJ the god of the sport of basketball

[seraphlgabri]

fucking piece of shit.

[Sheedtastic1]

Someone tell Michael to turn down that collar please.

[FrancoDFernando]

@Sheedtastic1 He's Michael Jordan...he can do whatever the f*ck he wants.

[jclown94]

neva saw jordan when he was losing his hair

wow
