Michael Jordan 1997: 36pts (16pts in last 5 minutes) Vs. Washington Bullets

[meamud]

1:48 didn't jump for the rebound and barely jumped for the dunk, how tall is he?

[mrmacross]

@meamud Seven feet, seven inches, tallest man ever to play in the NBA.

[wordance]

2:21 was sick... the fake and the drift...

[tupac0306]

I miss the 90's too. Basketball, football, music....the way people live....

[moeschizlac]

@rockyrack3 It's probably because the black Bulls jerseys were from the late 90s when Jordan returned from playing baseball and not the early 90s.

[kaede23]

i find him travel a lot?

[RAV52]

I wonder if President Clinton offered MJ a cigar after the game for his performance?

[jlee562]

5:02 was so amazing that the camera stopped working

[silencedfable]

Damn longley havn't seen that name in a long time

[9987666]

I find it funny that Juwan Howard is in this game.

[retrotw]

HOOPS is the MAN...

[scottie2333]

NO ONE even comes close to MJ. Anyone who thinks other wise is a moron and has no clue about basketball.

[bm9tube]

c'mon how can you be 34 and still sooo quick and so explosive. that and the total mental domination of the game. just unstoppable.

[junkboy123456]

the video exploded because of michael jordan's amazingness haha

[prophetbyronmotley]

I'm watching this because I wanted to see the GREATEST basket ball player ever, those riding Kobe's nuts, sorry but Jordan is THE best to EVER play basket ball!

[LeBronJMVP]

How was he 34? his elevation was still ridiculous, great vid!

[atammarco]

thx for the video dude, really appreciated

[Rookietop]

Michael goin to work

[jdgb111]

the NBA needs to go back to 80's,90's style basketball where guys like Steven Nash came off the bench and where not 2 time mvp's. It frustrates me to see these little shits running all over the place shooting layups in the playoffs. Steve nash would be squashed like a bug.

[fawaz004]

To all of the kids, doubters, naysayers, sports writers, Lebron's fans and Kobe's fans I say: SHAME ON YOU FOR DARING TO COMPARE ANYONE TO MJ!!!!

[MIKESOWELL]

the greatest ever

[matt77980]

Michael is the GOAT. No doubt. Doesn't flake like others under pressure. I always notice he taps his feet at halfcourt at the jump ball at the start of most games I seen in the second coming era. I think sometimes forget how awesome this guy was when people compare him with Lebron & Kobe..

[JF8494]

I have the bulls black jordan jersey from the 97-98 season. its hella ill and sick and I dodn't pay a lot for it

[TheEntertainmentonly]

I miss the Bullets. I hate the name Wizards. But Abe Pollin switch the name because of the crime rate in Washington, during the 90's.

[promethius1976]

i feel bad for calbert cheney. he was trying to play some defense in this game.

[euginis]

Let me just say I LOVE that you're starting to make these in HD!

[devantesworld]

them black jerseys is got damn they ill the bulls need to bring them back iam not even a bulls fan them the best alternate jersey i ever seen well all black alternate jerseys be tight

[onimusha85]

I remember this game, Scottie was unstoppable in the first half and michael in the second half, especially in the fourth quarter.

[trezeguet4ever]

@onimusha85 wow duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[xdachinamanx]

Washington was pretty stacked back then! Webber, Strickland, Howard, Muresan (well not really a star but he is TALL).

[utfanatic2000]

Great upload. I remember watching this game. MJ paced himself so well and seemed so "Zen" throughout the game. Fun to watch the GOAT in action.

[Christizm]

MICHAEL JORDAN THE GREATEST EVER

[weare8112]

this was the first nba game i ever went to and despite it being in DC (landover md at the time) the crowd couldn't contain themselves for Mike and the Bulls. It was almost as if it was a home game for them. good posting hoops

[jayhov15]

It's been a while hoops, glad to see you're back

[radio213]

@Scrat455 haha ok thanks

[Ryzon28]

ord strickland had game man ...big gheorge seemed like a cool giant tho not much of a baller ...and man anyone in the states remember those bullets script written caps they had back then? lil nba logo on the side man if it is possible id buy one off ya right now ive searched for em but nothing those were the days baby LOL gr8 vid as always

[outspoken34]

Did the Bullets learn anything from their stint with Manute Bol? Muresan was a scrub. If they had a true center, they would've had a better chance at stealing a game against the bulls in the playoffs that year. they still would've lost but,......lol

[grasd2]

@outspoken34 you're retarded, muresan was far from a scrub. the year before this, he averaged 15/10 playing only 30 minutes a game. he was just ravaged by injuries and the pituitary disorder his whole career. he was pretty talented especially for a 7 foot 7 guy.

[outspoken34]

@grasd2 I wasn't going to pull out his stats, but thanks for driving my point home, guy! His expectations far exceeded his actual skills. Opposing squads attacked the basket MORE when he was in the lineup lol. Scrub might be a little harsh. Bum seems more appropriate.

[TMacAttack01]

Is that Hubie Brown commentating in the background? Sure does sound like him.

[babyboy5880]

@TMacAttack01 Yep sure was!

[flameout12345]

those shoes are nice......

[brian05fubu]

90's when NBA was at its best

[cooljjjj]

Hard to believe that some people criticize the defense of the 80's and 90's. Look at all the contact at 5:10...Strickland was all over MJ, that's practically a flagrant by today's standards.

[RealFan357]

"Hard to believe that some people criticize the defense of the 80's and 90's"

That's because they're ignorant, and don't know of the changes to the defensive rules today, which has allowed more scoring today..

[essquared24]

hooooooooooooooooooooops is the man.

[phillydude85]

damnn to bad the tape messed up, with that fade away shot by jordan.

[nateswell]

6:15 Greatest President of all time amazed by the greatest Basketball Player of all time! : )

[Bigturns33]

I take it your kidding about clinton.

[doctorjay1976]

1:48 gheorghe muresan lol

[bigdog1002]

And my man Hubie Brown on the call... love it!

[tommyhtc]

old account back lol?

[killerecho]

I miss the 90's. Not just basketball, but everything. This made me doubly nostalgic.

[jordanplaya23]

@killerecho yes now NBA basketball is so boring it seems like they aren't even trying at all, but in the 90's and down, they try their hearts out!

[fawaz004]

To all of the kids, doubters, naysayers, sports writers, Lebron's fans and Kobe's fans I say: SHAME ON YOU FOR DARING TO COMPARE ANYONE TO MJ!!!!

[ltfbishop]

First view! That's a rarety! Good post as always, Hoops...
