MJ returning to wear 23 instead of 45

[misterred316]

The gap between MJ and Kobe is more than a mile long. Kobe is closest to him, but from a far...

[Mikhailisrafeel23]

WHAT A FUCKING BLOCK TO SHAQ!!

[TheFilipinoBoxer]

3:13 concords

[michalusOG]

1:08 that's how you esc double team.

[BlockStar10]

Was that when Nick Anderson start getting fat.He had no ideal how to guard Mike in any way shape way or form .Not a hand up or nothing .That triple threat position and fad away render him useless .Mike man Michale Jordan

[dan1st]

someone wearing no. 45 disliked this.

[mt883]

I really thought the Bulls were going to win the series after this game. Just seemed like they had all the momentum going home for games 3 and 4.

[tropangsponks]

no one can match MJ

[tigerwtigs]

Who won the series

[jwater1221]

That defense he played was sick, as well. GOAT



[eastside0till3i1die]

the return of the #23 an the first time the 11 was seen

[soultosqueeze28]

those jordan 11s are sick. long live the basketball deity

[sbeallvln]

MJ in this game looks like the best of Lebron and Kobe, which is saying something because even this excellent game was not MJ at his best.

[megatroll]

I pity today's kids worshipping this sissy NBA.

Seriously, a blind man could see that it's not what the sport was supposed to be. And comparing LeBron or Kobe to the GOAT??? Please... don't ridicule yourself. The gap between them is so vastly huge, you could sink Australia in it. ;D

[masterchiefrules2012]

@megatroll that's right. Nowadays NBA is only a mere shadow of what it was in the 1990's.

in that season MJ was not back in shape and yet it dominated in many games.

In the season 1995/1996 he and his Chicago Bulls were unstoppable.

[DURTYSOUTH92]

Crisp quality and great upload, thank you!

[clalegon2002]

michael was a beast

[JunJunah]

I'm going to leave the ratings at 23 =)

[helomega]

here's theJordan jam!

[exoyy]

can there be more beautiful than MJ's shot ?

[ForEmily23]

He is so much better than LeBron and Kobe. It's not even close

[edmond130]

best shoes ever

[jumpnam]

Hard to believe that during the controversy surrounding Jordan's shoes, Steve Kerr commented that Mike should be fined "'cos they're so embarrassing looking." I mean, Steve! I know you were money from deep, but where's your taste in kicks?!

[clay111]

do they have to wear the same colour shoe??

[medestinier]

Yes. The NBA fined Michael Jordan $5,000 for wear non-conforming shoes.

[masterchiefrules2012]

@clay111 yes, especially back then. Nowadays the rules are less strict.

[bballmemories]

TNT, ABC, ESPN they need to stop showing the under the basket camera angle on a breakaway dunk. All you can see is the player's upper body..The WGN version posted by medestinier shows better angle on the 2 breakaway jams from this game.

[bballmemories]

medestinier: didn't you post the WGN version of this game? Anyway, great job as always. Seems like yesterday, i really thought that after winning this game 2 the Bulls were going to win the series but MJ was rusty down the stretch in the subsequent games that they lost.

[medestinier]

Yes, I uploaded the Bulls Broadcasting version about 2 years ago. But, it had no 1st quarter, so, I got another version.

And, I totally agree with you. Changing the camera angle all of a sudden is always unacceptable and should be rejected.

[NYCGERSON777]

Bro, i disagree with a lot of people who say that jordan wasn't jordan in the playoffs of '95. did he had bad moments? who doesn't. did he made some mistakes? yes he did, but overall i just think jordan looked better in 95 than he did from 96 to 98. The team's chemistry was the problem. The bulls didn't know exactly how to play with each other just yet. And they were going up against a very talented team with a better sense of chemistry at that time. Jordan looked great in the playoffs of 95.

[jeditwinz]

Such great memories

[chrisguy90]

Watch at 3:34 very very closely. Right after he gets the steal he palms the ball up off the floor. He never uses his left hand to grab the ball...

Now those are some mits.

[jeditwinz]

Damn he did. LOL

[mnkhan2020]

Oh shit. that was so fast. didnt even notice that. You right. He just palm picked it up off his right hand only.

Kobe must be cursing God every night as he couldn't copy MJs mit size & immitate this play of MJ.

[clalegon2002]

@chrisguy90 nice catch

[watupdawgdawg]

@chrisguy90 yeah he did watch the replay at 3:50 but hes still great

[larry89]

crispy ass 11's...

[dimedropper1992]

GOAT !!!!!
