[voelknasty]

[dkthg]

@voelknasty bad luck maybe but not wack.

[sunnyboy8644]

@voelknasty dont hate, maybe your wack.

[1wb7kj]

His moves seem exactly the same as Kobe today !

[rafikz77]

Where is Ewing's nasty dunk on Rodman?

[mrmacross]

Jeff Van Gundy had so much hair back in 1997.

[markwaldron]

anyone notice jordan was introduced second? usually the best player on the team is introduced last

[jhans13]

@markwaldron The best player is introduced last for the home team. the road team you just go through the names , usually PG, SG, SF, PF ,C.

[SATCHELL3000]

MJ beastin @ 4:35. Mike made the Knicks look like hoes in this game.

[dthon1]

Starks, you can't guard Mike!

Sheeyit.

[klined]

@dthon1

sadly, he was one of the few who could

[JoshPerrick]

Jack9988 if you really like this visit NBAPremium(.)tk you will love stuff there :P

[bighead89]

idk if anyone else feels this way but when jordan dunks on ewing he doesnt get all pumped and yell and shit....its like he only does that shit to make his team pumped cuz hes already dont it a million times. anyone else agree?

[choigunz]

kinda funny that i find this video right when the white/red XII's got retroed just now haha. Which is what MJ is wearing in this game.

[knowledge198405]

at 4:32 ewing didn't even try...he's like i'm tired of being posterized

[gbengaman]

this was the day Biggie died

[totomacklin]

HE DIED IN 98.. THIS WAS IN 97'

[gbengaman]

nah, he died in 97, I remember that day. Check wikipedia. It was six months after tupac died and tupac died in sept. 0f 96

[DimitriJordanFrench]

hahaha

even after the whistle michael felt the need 2prove his dominance

3:15 - 3:20

[helenlundeberg]

@DimitriJordanFrench yeah crazy stuff but that foul was bogus

[chitoz666]

damn I miss these old rivals...u just don't get them like they used to.

[PEPEelZAPATISTA]

holy fucking cow!

4:28 - 4:38

pure grace and electricity...

[tmh1717]

because mj is from brooklin :)

[lAlbertl]

Lol nicks home game and they cheer for Jordan hahahaha

[LifeFirst]

They were booing him what are you talking about?

[liweiwu007]

it was a mix of boos and cheers.

[M4x6]

The Bulls Pinstripe black jerseys were the best NBA jersey's ever!

[acarnard]

i agree

[stillherelivtss]

Not including Ewing's dunk over Rodman at halftime in this clip is a crime.

[jordanlover23]

Yeah, that was a great dunk. You must be a Knicks fan, though. ;) Dangerous and kinda dirty play by Rodman, too.

[stillherelivtss]

Yes I am a major Knicks fan...I knew you would tell by that comment LOL. That was defintley a dirty play by Rodman. Thats why Patrick was a bout to fight him(included in this clip).

[LEBONGTHOM]

love that move around Ewing @4:32

[qzx3]

jordans post up game is totally unstopable

[jeanrollan]

i agree.

[kaliaelizabeth]

i think MJ loves Patrick..... to be on his poster that is.... LOL

[rrTale]

Double and triple teams all over him. MJ looked so smooth this season, from his championship years this was the one i enjoyed the most. Those AJ XII are a work of art.

[mirzahat]

wow, every move is a joy to watch :-) especially the dunk after blowing on Ewing!

[ForEmily23]

nice freaking video, my man

MJ is the greatest... night in and night out

[jordanlover23]

Jordan's quickness to the ball and ability to quickly aim and fire at 6:12 after it got knocked away is phenomenal. I initially thought this was the "big brother, little brother" game at MSG where Pippen did damage early and MJ had like 18 in the final 6:30 to pull out the game. That game isn't up on youtube yet. It was a day after Larry Johnson made some disparaging comments about Pippen. Pip had a huge first half (like 20 points) and Jordan took over late to win the game after a NY rally.

[Storm21]

I have that game I just don't know how to load from a VHS

[clarkman83]

The move MJ made @ 3:15 is one of his most famous highlights/photos from the 96-97 season.

[Jumpman1989]

MJ was unstoppable in MSQ.

Take a look at his quickness and dynamics at age 34. its unattainable for normal human

[Cwm368]

Was Charlie Ward on drugs in this game? lol What was he thinking?

[danielchou12]

Bad shooting percentage

[jordanlover23]

Since when is 45.2% bad shooting? For Jordan it's subpar, but it's better than the career average for guys like Kobe/TMac etc.

[jxn23]

45.2% Was bad for MJ considering that over his career he shot 50% (and as a Bull 51%).

But to put it in perspective, some of today's finest players are shooting at these percentages for their careers:

Iverson: 42.6

T-Mac: 43.7

Paul Pierce: 44.2

Kobe: 45.3

Melo: 46.2

Lebron: 46.7

[bChow12]

The black uniforms were the best
