i have not watch this games because i was born 1991. michael jordan is my favorite player and will always be. nothing will compare this level of playing than in todays. the centers in this era are very skilled and athletic at the same time, almost every team has a star, almost every team is good defensively and very competitive. sorry bad english. -basketball fan from philippines
@DrmrGuy1979 I just cannot believe Jordan played so many minutes back then, and guarantee he was always running into physical contact. He had stamina and heart, I think the NBA lost both and tried gaining an ego. ahah
Many players this day wouldn't finish the layup, but flop that they were hit on the head. MJ is hurt, but he's still cutting to the basket, shooting fadeaways, and dunking the ball. He was a wounded warrior, leader, and fierce competitor. NBA nowadays is all showboat.
Young players today don't have the leadership qualities Jordan, Magic, or Bird had. All this talk about Kobe, Lebron, Wade, but none of them were true leaders on their team in the 2011 playoffs, or Finals. They were so inconsistent it was a joke, Dirk to me showed more leadership ability than all of them. Just because you score most of the points doesn't mean your a great leader. Its who elevates their team as a whole, cause having the most Allstars doesn't equal Championships.
Too much undeserved titles being given out now a days. Too many overrated players now a days. Too many dudes with no swagger stealing everything from legends down to the way they talk and chew gum now a days. SMH...
This was The GREAT Days of Basketball but if NIQUE had Not been so Dirty by Atlanta and stayed there instead of going to the Clippers , Celtics ,Overseas ,Magic and Spurs He would have had Easily been in the Top 4 All-Time in Scoring .And Micheal aswell if Not for Baseball and Retiring Twice such a Shame .
@mjkingofmusicmj Kobe is not hanchecked, nobody is..... try to look some videos of derek harper when he was in NY. He was handcheck master, and I'm glad that is a foul now. It's stupid that when you are passing by a player he can hold you by your hand. John Starks would hold MJ's arm all game long.... that was stupid defending.
@peskelj hand checking is not a stupid defense son... it is the ULTIMATE DEFENSE! that is why 80's and early 90's basketball rule. the present nba that we have right now is the one that is stupid...
@mjkingofmusicmj do u have any idea what hand checking is all about? in 94-95' the nba limited the hand checking rule to some extent and completely took it out in 04-05 season. therefore kobe played under the revised hand checking rule from 97-05'. therefore, after the 05' season until today kobe has played without the hand check rule so stop saying kobe is being handchecked all the time... it's pathetic & stupid!
@falkner23 im not a kobe-freak, MJ was the best by a mile. im just saying you cant hold it against players for utilizing what older players did. do you think rondo is a worse player for learning the dream shake?
also way to freak out over a youtube comment. maybe you should learn to relax.
@orstenwald How the f*ck did Dr.J teach MJ to dunk exactly? where do people get this shit from.. go watch Dr.J and then watch Michael they look nothing alike on floor with the way they play. Now watch Kobe and your see hes copied Jordans complete style of play the moves all look damn near identical..yet the results are less effective and inefficient. Hes gone so far to copy everything Jordan, his body language, way he walks, talks, his celebrations..everything..to the point of obssesive stalker.
I remember this game like yesterday!!!! This was a good series too, me and my brother watched this game and when the camera put a close up on those J's we lost our minds.
hoopsencyclopedia, wow that is OD. That's directly from someone who s the shortest on his team but finish alley dunks. I used the nba training program at 50 inch vertical (dot) com and increased over 14 inches on my leap.

Michael Jordan 1993 Playoffs: 39pts, Gm 3 Vs. Atlanta Hawks
@miguelbaezjr That's because he works with Bryant this time. It's 2 usual things that happen all the time. Short memory and be biased about people of our environment at present.
In 5 years time when he'll be asked to compare them, assuming he'll be unbiased, he would say MJ is way way way better than KB or anyone else.
These were the days when rookies like the Birds, MJ's Wilkins' Magics's etc.... had to earn there moment in the spotlight.
Not this tickytack bullshit U see today.
(example) Lebron was a superstar before he even took his 1st shot in the NBA. I'm not saying the Wade's, Bryant's, Paul's, Howards melo's etc.... are bad players. There just spoiled
The defense in the 80's and early 90's would knock the stars today in the f'n dirt.
Yeah, I remember watching this game. I have always rooted for the underdog, and so I was rooting against MJ. But I have to admit, I have never seen anyone do this before. He played on one foot!!! Unreal. He is the greatest ever to play the game.
its done, stop arguing. finally MJ is in hall of fame and be praised as the greatest player of all time by NBA/ESPN, by ppl who knows basketball well. stop comparing.
What year was MJs best year ? 1993 was his best in my opinion, in 1998 he had perfected the game, and in 1988 he won every award possible...tough question to ask yourself
@KeReignman Many would say that the worst era for the NBA was right before Magic and Bird were drafted into the league. That's when players were truly all about personal fame and glory and flash. I think the current generation of players have more of a mature and teamwork-oriented attitude than back then. So I disagree with the fact that it's all about show nowadays. A lot of stars don't even focus on the dunk competition like back in the day because they know that flashy dunks = injury.
Yeah, he was actually pretty damn good a few years ago considering he was old and had two bad knees. 22 and 20 ppg against these so called elite players
besides all the bullshit u guys are arguing about. mj this kobe that. WE ALL KNOW WHO IS BETTER. deep down inside u know who it is. It is MICHAEL JORDAN. people who compare them are idiots and dont know shit about basketball. other than that. notice how this is true basketball, no flopping, no stupid calls. normal semi agrresive/agressive basketball. the NBA now is a joke
Michael Jordan is truly the best of all time. his will to win is unmatched in nba history. You pretty much had to michael jordan's heart out to win against the chicago bulls.
good stuff...Mjs hands are huge..for you to have those hands and be able to shoot the ball like he did...is very hard to believe. Generally players with big hands like his can't really shoot the ball...too well...there are exceptions..Pippen etc...but most have problems until they attain a shooting coach....of some sort...
Jordans the greatest because not only of his skills,but he revolutionized the game as well...changed it.People wanna be like and play like him.Wilt was the other greatest in my mind.He dominated like no other and maybe not the greatest "winner ",that would be Bill Russell,he was the most dominant.
Sorry but he's not, Kobe gets to the free throw line and scores most of his points because of the rules, you can play zone in the league but it is not a "real zone" because of the three second defensive rule and you know that. The middle is open and on top of that there's the charge line so defenders have to worry about that too. Defenders cannot play d today because of all the defensive rules and players like Kobe are benefiting from it. Like I said if Jordan played today he would score more
To me, the biggest change in defense is the elimination of hand checking. I can't even imagine how much MORE MJ would dominate in a league where the defender couldn't hand check him all over the court
So let me get this straight, in the history of the NBA there has never been traps or double teams until 2001?...yeah ok anyway just for your information the NBA put the zone in the league to encourage more shooting and thus more scoring and at the same time they put in rules to protect the offensive player and give them more freedom to score. Jordan was triple teamed and fouled real hard but still scored 40 or 50 points, if he played today he would score way more than what Kobe has scored
Jordan is a monster hands down....there is no comparison with Kobe....I only wish I could have seen Wilt Chamberlain play just to see how he scored so many points
hey man, Jordan is better but there is a comparison! You mentioned wilt chamberlain and the points he scored, most which were in the paint! Kobe's unprecidented 45 point streak and 81 point game were shot from all over the court.
Jordan had the same 40 point streak, actually Kobe was following his unprecidented 40 point streak. I know Wilt scored all his points in the paint but how he scored them was what I said. Kobe had an 81 point game but there is no comparison because Jordan played in an era where you can actually play D and the offense didnt have an advantage with rules like today. Jordan shot a lot of jumpers and still shot over 50% for his career.If Jordan played today he would average a lot more than before.
Yup I agree. Defense now is MUCH easier than it was before. Despite myself being 16 years old, I find watching replays of the old-days games as more entertaining and intense to watch.
you two are arguing about offense as if thats the only thing that matters in basketball . even if you COULD present an argument that Kobe and MJ were comparable in offense (which you cant ... Jordan went multiple seasons scoring 30+ AND avg 50%+ from the field . Kobe has never done this in his life) Jordan is lightyears ahead when it comes to defense . defensive player of the year , only player to get 200 steals and 100 blocks in a season (did it twice) , Kobe will never reach such accolades
Actually, this would be his last NBA Playoff game with the Atlanta Hawks, but nine months later, his last game would be on Wednesday, February 23rd, 1994 against the Seattle SuperSonics, and a day later, he would be traded to the LA Clippers for Danny Manning.
usually id give MJ the GOAT his props, but just like to take the time to say that its very sad NIque didnt get the 50 greatest nod, while some others should not have got it
greatest. i am so attracted to jordan's style that it disturbs me. the wave back of the left arm on the take off is too ill, also the posing of the hands like wings of a bird, the tork and position of the entire body.....no one will ever be able to have all that body controll-he has it on every attempt-on every impossible dunk,shot,layup,pass, freakin even when drinking water he just has it. and it's easy for him. it's simply his style.
I hope this video dispels the myth that MJ couldn't shoot 3's, cause that first one was from deep and the other one off the dribble was like the dagger. Thanks to Jamal Crawford for the video. I was hoping when MJ made his final comeback with the Wizards he would land Crawford. It was rumored that he and MJ won 13 straight pick-up games together. Crawford said it was easy to play with MJ and I heard MJ made an attempt to get him but Krause declined it.
Just great memories....I remember this game very well...I thought it was going to be like when HE broke his anckle back in 1985-86...I was so scared...when he came back as he did, that was just incredible...thanks man you light up my day...
Thanks for the upload Hoops. I am glad you managed to get a game in with one of my favortie Pg's of all time. Good ol' Mookie Blaylock. Granted Jordan put it to him, he was still one of my favorite players to watch.
ouch that's hurt a lot its not ec..to comeback and play that good his injured how come he can play with other guys that no twisted ankle injured.. haha jordan is a nightmare in basketball ..hehe
And I know Mookie was a sneaky lil fucker back in the day, but what rocket scientist came with the idea to put him on MJ?! I guess they figured since he looked like MJ's dad (RIP) Mike might take it easy on him. NOT!!
Shorter guys always defender Jordan better. Their ability to move fast laterally, adjust their positioning and stay low to the ground limited his ability to drive. John Starks, Joe Dumars are prime exmaples. Yet he burn his opponent no matter who it was...
Only player with comparable body control would be AI I'd have to say but he's a litte guy, for him to have that much coordination at his heght rly is amazing.

Sorry but he's not, Kobe gets to the free throw line and scores most of his points because of the rules, you can play zone in the league but it is not a "real zone" because of the three second defensive rule and you know that. The middle is open and on top of that there's the charge line so defenders have to worry about that too. Defenders cannot play d today because of all the defensive rules and players like Kobe are benefiting from it. Like I said if Jordan played today he would score more

To me, the biggest change in defense is the elimination of hand checking. I can't even imagine how much MORE MJ would dominate in a league where the defender couldn't hand check him all over the court

just watch 1997 or 1998 season and youll see how much he did when they couldnt handchek him all over the court
gocelts34n7 2 years ago
So let me get this straight, in the history of the NBA there has never been traps or double teams until 2001?...yeah ok anyway just for your information the NBA put the zone in the league to encourage more shooting and thus more scoring and at the same time they put in rules to protect the offensive player and give them more freedom to score. Jordan was triple teamed and fouled real hard but still scored 40 or 50 points, if he played today he would score way more than what Kobe has scored
GNugget151 3 years ago
Jordan is a monster hands down....there is no comparison with Kobe....I only wish I could have seen Wilt Chamberlain play just to see how he scored so many points
GNugget151 3 years ago 4
hey man, Jordan is better but there is a comparison! You mentioned wilt chamberlain and the points he scored, most which were in the paint! Kobe's unprecidented 45 point streak and 81 point game were shot from all over the court.
hckia 3 years ago
Jordan had the same 40 point streak, actually Kobe was following his unprecidented 40 point streak. I know Wilt scored all his points in the paint but how he scored them was what I said. Kobe had an 81 point game but there is no comparison because Jordan played in an era where you can actually play D and the offense didnt have an advantage with rules like today. Jordan shot a lot of jumpers and still shot over 50% for his career.If Jordan played today he would average a lot more than before.
GNugget151 3 years ago 2
Yup I agree. Defense now is MUCH easier than it was before. Despite myself being 16 years old, I find watching replays of the old-days games as more entertaining and intense to watch.
NBA was much better 'yesterday', unfortunately.

you two are arguing about offense as if thats the only thing that matters in basketball . even if you COULD present an argument that Kobe and MJ were comparable in offense (which you cant ... Jordan went multiple seasons scoring 30+ AND avg 50%+ from the field . Kobe has never done this in his life) Jordan is lightyears ahead when it comes to defense . defensive player of the year , only player to get 200 steals and 100 blocks in a season (did it twice) , Kobe will never reach such accolades

Actually, this would be his last NBA Playoff game with the Atlanta Hawks, but nine months later, his last game would be on Wednesday, February 23rd, 1994 against the Seattle SuperSonics, and a day later, he would be traded to the LA Clippers for Danny Manning.

greatest. i am so attracted to jordan's style that it disturbs me. the wave back of the left arm on the take off is too ill, also the posing of the hands like wings of a bird, the tork and position of the entire body.....no one will ever be able to have all that body controll-he has it on every attempt-on every impossible dunk,shot,layup,pass, freakin even when drinking water he just has it. and it's easy for him. it's simply his style.

I hope this video dispels the myth that MJ couldn't shoot 3's, cause that first one was from deep and the other one off the dribble was like the dagger. Thanks to Jamal Crawford for the video. I was hoping when MJ made his final comeback with the Wizards he would land Crawford. It was rumored that he and MJ won 13 straight pick-up games together. Crawford said it was easy to play with MJ and I heard MJ made an attempt to get him but Krause declined it.

And I know Mookie was a sneaky lil fucker back in the day, but what rocket scientist came with the idea to put him on MJ?! I guess they figured since he looked like MJ's dad (RIP) Mike might take it easy on him. NOT!!

Shorter guys always defender Jordan better. Their ability to move fast laterally, adjust their positioning and stay low to the ground limited his ability to drive. John Starks, Joe Dumars are prime exmaples. Yet he burn his opponent no matter who it was...
