Michael Jordan 1990 Playoffs: Gm 3 Vs. Bucks, 48pts

[KatyRaeanniu701]

geil keiner deutsch hihi

[wilzusuki]

fuck the long dress shorts

[HymanKaplan]

48 points in the play off against 6x all defensive team member and defensive player of the year Alvin Robertson.

[bulls90s]

Black AIr Jordan Vs with white laces. Sweet.

[MichaelJordanTube]

2:43 - 3:00 Michael's speed.

[jaymum23]

@MichaelJordanTube That and 2:54 are two examples of Mike starting his sprint (from a dead stop) below the opponent's foul line and making it to the opposite end for a dunk in a mere 4 seconds. Some younger admirers of the game don't realize how fast he was. Lebron, young Kobe, CP3... it doesn't matter. MJ in his prime would eat them all alive in the open court. He was the fastest player ever.

[RAV52]

Hahaha this was back when everyone copied Mike and started rockin' compression shorts beneath their jersey shorts. Look at Mike shine while Cadillac Anderson stands on the sidelines and cheers with his ancient knee brace and fucked up fade haircut.

[davezize]

Later the bucks won the playoffs.

[uberathlete]

Watch how MJ moves without the ball. Just beautiful.

[RoalFlusher]

"..and ofc, Michael Jordan leading all scores in the playoffs again this year as usual.."

i had to laugh a litte when i heard this :)

[Soundtrack1000]

@RoalFlusher why?

[RoalFlusher]

@Soundtrack1000 i mean i had to smile

sounds so great to me :))

[GameSchoolBus]

3:05 was that a travel?

[4321tim]

Michael jordan was no joke, an icon for ever.

[davidayalon1]

what are the white shorts / pants that the bulls are wearing? including Jordan who usually wears his North Carolina shorts

[legacy999]

those are not shorts - they're tites you wear underneath shorts and used to be popular in the early 90s

[davidayalon1]

the bulls never wear white tites

jordan usually wears his carolina tights which is black but here he wears white tights. i guess it was some kind of a special night like the lakers wore the 70's shorts last season.

[arkade2345]

no jordan wore his UNC shorts OVER those tights, they just are not visible sometimes. he always wore them over his tights no matter what color

[gotemlookin20]

compression shorts....the players wear them even today...you just can't see them cuz the shorts are longer nowadays

[Mark271792]

It's a big reason why the shorts we wear today are down to our knees. We can thank Jordan for this since he started it.

[celph414]

@Mark271792

or the fab 5

[Taranflame]

Jordan wears the North Carolina shorts underneath the normal shorts.

[YankeeRebelSon]

That 48 points on one of the greatest defensive two guards of all time too, Alvin Robertson.

[St0rmB]

yeah..one of the greatest..but MJ was the greatest defensive two guard ever..

[JCR1992]

i have a poster of that dunk at 3:00 its one of those door posters beautiful

[JDev82]

nice travelling at 0:48

[yaiqab]

Dat Sikma foul at :56 sec would've been a flagrant today.

[arkade2345]

dam mj almost hit his head twice on those dunks!!!

simply beautiful!

[poker2face]

First of all, don't know why people are still comparing Kobe to Jordan. It is no contest. They should be comparing Jordan to Lebron(not that I think he will even come close)who still has alot of potential left and who is already better than Kobe. And second I believe this is Jordan at is mental and athletic best. Athleticaly his prime was 87', and mentally was ofcourse 97' 98'

[Soundtrack1000]

he wasted 2 best years for god' sake

[jumpnam]

Look at the speed at 2:56. Thats what bruceblitz means when he talks bout elite footspeed. Its just effortless acceleration. Kobe just doesnt have it. Everytime ive watched him sprint downcourt, it looks so laboured and heavy. Its like watchin ME run ha ha.

[MJisKingKobesuckss]

MJ=GOAT

[alexxxsatrein]

MJ - the best of the dest. No one can`t play like MJ

[quitmon]

jordan was the most complete ball player ever!! defense,rebounds.assist,leader­ etc..

[kingcrims0n24]

LeBron James

[roncarl9]

biker shorts!! LOL

[ronalabraham]

Forget his scoring averages and the other insane statistics. More so than any other player in history, Jordan had a beautiful game. Not flashy. Beautiful.

[AgentCirrus]

great video, sad part, this isn't even MJ in his prime.all these kobe fans who say he's better than MJ must have been born after 1998

[dpistons149]

ya this is jordan in his prime

[Salva46]

who is tracy mcgrady? I'm not interested players unable to pass a round of playoffs

[1tracymcgrady1]

kobe fan where are they?

[mauiwowi]

where are LeBron fans at?

MJ still amazes me

[JCR1992]

hey hoops u should post all 4 games from this series i love game 4 even though its a blowout i have it at home

[jaboo82681]

I was gonna ask you that to Hoops

[JCR1992]

yeah i remember in game 2 jordan got thrown to the ground basically

[roncarl9]

the good old days of a fred roberts, ricky pierce etc.. other than watching MJ do his thing, thats the next best thing about these clips is just the random basketball names from the past

[1tracymcgrady1]

where are da kobe fan here?? i dont see one

[ELIJAHSQ]

klk jorda

[jmralcazar]

GREATEST EVER OF ALL TIME.

[johnnycage2010]

whatever, if i was as good as jordan i could do all that shyt.

[radio213]

no shit dumbass, anyone can say the exact same thing as u, thats why jordan is good because no one CAN do all that shit but him.

[JCR1992]

do u know what his stats were for the entire game?

[RickyMoss]

did you see how fast he got up the court at 2:43... those NBA courts are long he just sprinted out... he's fast..

[jeditwinz]

He was probably the fastest man in the league for a while.

[IndependentChoreo]

He jumped so high that's y he hit the backboard. Tnx for sharing ur vids of MJ.

[dpistons149]

jordan raped the bucks

[goodmuzik22]

he was hoopin the shit outa them....lmaaaoooo

[flandersfails]

Is this Rick Barry talking?

[jaboo82681]

yes it is

[cmks2]

left handed finger roll is ridiculous!

[originalname33]

hoopsencyclopedia: man of the year

[jovan988]

GICHA

[flandersfails]

WHY do you post this in every Jordan video??

[vidaa11]

look at the dunk at 2:58. mike has to duck so he doesnt hit his head. talk about hops.

[dw3mj23]

So he doesn't hit the backboard? rofl

That's not really impressive at all.

[Tubewings]

When'd they get rid of the "M's" at the MECCA?

[sarnow76]

The Bucks move into the Bradley Center after the 1987 season.

[Tubewings]

Oh, yeah, I forgot they played at the Bradley Center by this time.

[Tubewings]

And it was 1988, not 1987.

[sarnow76]

Right "After" the 1987 season which was 1988. In fact the last game at the MECCA was against Boston in the 1987 Semi Finals. That was also Don Nelson's last game as Bucks Coach.

[TBlake34]

Best moment: around 3:35-3:40 when Jordan drops that fade-away and Robertson throws out his hands. What percentage of the NBA generally felt like that from 1985-1998?

[m1283]

just wna ask! how many games does mike has 40+ points in his career?

[hoopsencyclopedia]

I believe it's 212 total with the playoffs included. Mike has the NBA record of 38 games of 40+ in the playoffs. No one even comes close. It's all about the playoffs. (To put this into perspective, KB has just 5 in the playoffs. In fact, MJ has almost as many 40+ games in a SINGLE finals series (4 Vs. Suns) as Kobe has in his entire playoffs career (5 total).

Wilt has the regular season career record with 271 games over 40.

[bigudawg]

Wow a 6 foot 6 inch guard has to duck his head so he does not hit a 10 foot hoop with his head amazing

[womatama]

1:54 looks cool

[therayman3]

Now how can you post MJ's highlights and at the end, the other team scores and beats his team.

[markmansion]

Whoa the duel team court featuring Marquette and the Bucks. Vintage Bradley Center. I don't care what anybody says the old Bucks logo was really bad.

[TheJewGod]

"he had to duck his head!"

[chitownmo]

Hoops, the NBA should give you royalties for being willing to edit all of these games and place them on YouTube. You help us all to rememeber how good Michael was and how good the game used to be.

[alexvan77]

nice

[crb4059]

Can anyone fathom 1990 is now almost 20 years ago?!?!?!?! Shakes head in total disbelief.

[blackadam06]

Yeah..it does seem like I was watchin this the other day with my older brother. Damn the yrs go by quickly LOL!! Sh*t i was 15 goin' on 16 yrs old watchin' this game. Where does the time go..

[selekun]

hey hoops dont u agree micheal is better than kobe because he has an all around game? he plays d gets those assists and racks up rebounds and steals the ball away from the defense so.. am i right? or whats up..

[hoopsencyclopedia]

One of many reasons of course.

[Jbone4shizzle]

I don't know why people keep talking about Jordan and Kobe. Jordan will stand as the G.O.A.T. forever because it's more than what is done on the court that makes you the Greatest. But believe me no one is touching Kobe right now in the game as far as skill and Duncan has been the best player/winner since Jordan. Kobe the most skilled and talented.

[JayVenom]

Jordan was the G.O.A.T. Someone tell me who had a comparable or better midrange game. It is a lost art effective skill but he made so great to see.

[selekun]

not was the g.o.a.t. he still is... hehe

[JayVenom]

You are very correct, I need to slap myself and go and play ball in my first pair of Jordans I ever had. Is the G.O.A.T

[PMJOACO]

es el mejor

[larrelove]

Alvin Robertson was a hell of a player. strong strong De

[cromlis]

meant to say one of the dunks* hehe mistype

[cromlis]

I'm not sure if Michael ducked his head on one of the ducks to prevent hitting the backboard or the ball. Many times he has hit his head with the ball when dunking. I can't tell though.

[edgargomez16]

go check out my video Called The Next Michael Jordan Best VIDEO EVER haha

[babydawg1991]

there will never be another michael jordan

read the statue in front of the united centers main enterence.

"The best there ever was. The Best there ever will be"

[br8ker2k]

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the best of the best

[wandaliz15]

ese es el mejor no creen chikas !!! ;)

[bwink23]

Jordan's midrange game was so buttery, " i want to dip my balls in it!"

[Rodzilla97]

he always made his team mates feel like they were worthy, & made them confident to take game winning shots. brilliant

[bwink23]

notice how michael at the end gave a "nice try" five to paxson after missing the jumper. classy

[uberathlete]

I heard that later on he punched him in the bus.

j/k :D

[chrisguy90]

great game, especially when you consider that mj only had a few shots inside the paint. the rest were jumpers.

[soowuave]

I don't know what was with Jordan and game 3's, but he absolutely destroys teams. Proof, New Jersey Nets in 98'. Similar to this video and makes it look so easy

[hPeAiUdLe]

another great vid. thanks hoops. keep up posting for the new generations of fans who have not watched the greatest ever.

[iiitrey23]

MJ crossed his legs at the 2:57 dunk. Quite the opposite and more lady-like than his normal spread 'em dunk (aka his logo).

[uberathlete]

whoa! hehe that's pretty damn observant. I didn't notice that.

[airwalkerjr07]

nice game do know what your going to upload next.

[hoopsencyclopedia]

I never know until 'the moment'.

[Hueyriley11]

hey can you send me or put his best defense and offense ive games

[jordanlover23]

Jordan averaged 36.8 pts/8.0 reb/7.0 ast/~3.5 stl/~2 blk/53% FG in this series against two of the best defenders of the era (and one of the best defenders of all-time) in Alvin Robertson and Paul Pressey. Amazing.

[bigdplaya25]

the way he can just come off the dribble and shoot is spectacular to me. he just drives jumps up in the middle of the shot and just hits it every time its beautiful to watch him play. thanks hoops and thanks mj for every game this is what basketball is yall mj

[LatinD]

Another great one. Thanks for sharing.

[TheLetterJ]

The game was rougher back then.

[AkatsukiLeader72]

Another great performance by MJ. Too bad the Bulls lost the game though.

[DiamondDebeuzelle]

MJ used to have huge playoff games at will. Double the 50 pt. playoff games of any other player in history (8) and at least 12 48pt+ playoff games that I can think of.

[jasonlathan1978]

At 2:58 it looked like he had to duck to keep from hitting his head on the rim.

[koneerok]

dopeness from Hoops!

[essquared24]

i love how you sneak in the other team's highlights, other videos, the highlights will be one-sided and they'll be down by 11, and its just weird. good job, and still waiting for part 2 bro. peace, great post.

[rrTale]

Personally i think the spandex and the black shoes cramps MJ's style, it kinda ruins it a bit for me. But then again it's Michael, he always looks good.

Thx for letting me and others relive great memories Hoops

[rrTale]

Test

[ronnya415]

4:42 oh sweet with the left hand

[jxn23]

That left hand floater coming across the lane at 4:40 is such a tough shot! He was one step inside the free throw line when he elevated for that.

Great work hoops!

This is the only game i've ever seen where Jordan has worn white laces in his black Air Jordans (5)

[neverwhere]

Your video-uploads are the reason some dude invented the internet. Thanks once again, hoopsencyclopedia.

[scottie2333]

Is there a reasone all of the bulls are wearing white compression shorts? It must have been a playoff thing. I know they all wore black shoes in the playoffs. I have never seen them all wear white before.  Great video!

[jlam88x]

greeeeeat stuff

[lahloo]

that double pump two-handed jam was great.

[qdmasta]

Looks like he almost hit his head on the backboard on that one.

[stematwork]

people forget that the Bucks were FANTASTIC back then. they just had to share the east with Detroit/Chicago/Boston/Atlanta­. These were the days! If i remember right, during the late 80's and early 90's, Milwaukee gave Chicago a lot of trouble in the regular season. Whatever the case, great game.

[jonathanmigan]

jumpshot is official

[jayrock1987]

yeah man that shit was nice

[BBalmost]

Great! Plz keep the videos comin

[grandmasfavorite]

YEahh good job i love these vids!

[andytimmons1230]

the quickness and and footwork are just unbelieveable

[mazinger2]

R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S that he is so good. Way above the second best player ever, whoever that is.

[popeyeisgood]

haha the underpants are really odd!! the worst style for the bulls i have seen.i wish there is a normal angle to show that break away dunk.the speed is just incredible. that turn around shot at 3:35 is also amazing . foot work is perfect and it is just so damn fas that the defender just couldnt have time to react.

[NextGenSports]

nice thanks for the video

[Retrolock]

LOL at that 2 handed dunk MJ almost hit his head on the backboard! Another great vid hoops!!

[jaboo82681]

Thanks Hoops I've never seen any kind of highlights from this series.

[Frank87]

He gets so much elevation on that jumper. No one can pull up on a dime and just rise over guys like Jordan does.

[rezzo1]

are those compression shorts?

[cdbleb2]

Jordan started wearing those spandex under his shorts because he had the talent and the balls to take over games and he didnt want them to fall out of his shorts on national t.v.

[chinngis83]

Ha ha - he would be tripping every time up the court.

[Jerofdez]

Great vid, great writing. Keep up the good work! Very much appreciated.

[STRIKE859]

Haha...4:25 - "We take it for granted...just like Jordan takes that jumper for granted." What does that even mean? Anyway, another great one Hoops. Thanks!

[Sicklesale]

damn he had a high arching jumper that year

[CailR]

thanks again hoops, you're the man.

btw, is there anyway you can increase the video quality?

[RR0849]

Awesome as always! Great job Hoops!

[womatama]

NICE THANKS HOOPS U DONE IT AGAIN
