@KingKuba1313 Are you stupid or something? Players from the 80's inspired most of the greatest players today.... and short? have you even seen their height? the shortest player in the oldies was Spodd Web and he can dunk...
@DaveTheFuckingBrave Actually your right but you do know it does not matter if he gets ball and then makes contact. The shooter is still a shooter until they get back to the ground.
@KingKuba1313 Are you serious? The "short" players from Jordan's era avg height was 6'7 the current avg height is 6'5. Tell one defender in the modern game who could stop Jordan? Don't worry I'll wait. With the emphasis on the mid range and 3 point shot of today's game(rule changes) Jordan would easily average 40+ a game. Not to mention he finished with 37 in this game.
@jllucero1 No doubt, the Today's Better-Athlete argument is so lame. Am I suppose to believe that Paul Gasol, Artest (with his 1" vertical), Nowitski, Perkins, Kevin Love (and his love handles) are such supreme athletes that they would destroy players from the 80s, how ridiculous. Darrel Griffith had a 48" vertical, no one today is close to that, Wilt Chamberlain could bench over 500 lbs in his 40s, Dwight Howard can't bench over 365, where are all these super athletes today? I don't see it.
@MerkinMuffly Don't forget Wilt's athletic ability to run track and the hurdles. The ahtletes today are built for their individual sport. In previous eras athletes were just that, athletes. If anyone watches actual game footage of mike(not just the highlight) they would see that alot of his highlights actually started at the other free throw line and, he wa so fast that he could outrun everyone on the court at full speed and with 3-4 dribbles making it seem like his fast break were cherry picks.
@MerkinMuffly Exactly, add in Shawn Marion who did a great job on LeBron last year in the finals getting lit up by Jordan when he was what 37? How about Gerald Wilkins? Wilkins could flat out jump out of the gym. Starks was a little smaller but had was as strong and athletic as most of the best defenders today.
@jllucero1 lol don't listen to this fool kingkuba! he's ovbiouslly a 13 year old idiot that doesnt know anything about basketball! the defence back then was much harder then it was today! if jordan was playing in today games jordan woulda averaged 50 points per game, that guy was reggie lewis was just incredibly amazing, this guy kingkuba knows shyt about basketball, just a pure idiot, mj would destroy anyone
@jllucero1 That whole " era" Argument is bullshyt! that mean's 10-20 years from now, when their are more super stars! lol, people are going to say that about labron and bryant hahah!!! that means it wil just keep going on and on, its all bullshyt! the game of bb has always been tough! even more tough in the 80s and 90s, now the refs call everything, labron in my view is a pussy with no heart! and will never win a championship! mark my word he won!!!! he has no heart like mj to take over a game
@jllucero1 if jordan played against short scrubs""""" like that kingkuba idiot says! then tell me why didn't all those other super stars do what micheal jordan did??? like kemp, pippen, hardaway, granthill, iverson, malone, why didnt they all do what he did! this kingkuba guy shouldnt even be allowed to watch sports, he's a pure idiot kid!!!! when jordan was 40 years old! he got 50 pounds and 52 points 2 times! tell me one other 40 year old that could do that!
@jllucero1 You know for people have not watched mj play first hand you cant blame them. People stopped believing in god. But coming from somebody who has seen the man play through his career. There is nobody that can compare in this league. I stopped watching basketball now, only college, because of the shitty new rules. These guys get tho to the rack every time, because of the handchecking. MJ would split these defences like nothing. He averaged 37 back then, I think he would average 50 today.
@jllucero1 DON'T DICKEAT DENNIS RODMAN COULD AND SO COULD LEBRON AT TIMES NO ONES THE BEST SO EVERYONE AND U STOP DICKEATING ON MICHAEL FAGGOT THANK U
@KingKuba1313 This is 1 of the stupidest arguments I hear today. Phil Jackson (11 rings), said Rodman (1980s) was the most athletic player he ever coached. Notice he didn't say Kobe, Gasol or LMAO, Artest with his 1 inch vertical. Darrel Griffith (1980s) had a vertical leap of 48 inches, higher than any player currently in the NBA today. Wilt (1960s) could bench over 500 lbs in his late 40s, Dwight Howard's max bench press is 365 and he's in his 20s, don't give me this better athlete Bull Shit.
@KingKuba1313 apparently you haven't seen MJ as a 40 yr. old Washington Wizard. He was old, not as athletic. I'll let you research the numbers he produced on those years as a Wizard.
@FeelGoodEnt well of course you someone like you wouldnt remember him since he onloy played 6 season and then tragically died bcuz of a heart attack ...this guy is a beast he was much more athletic than lebron james
@socool34534 dude i was kid in 1991....... stop crying..... this is youtube!!! LOL nothing personal! thanks for the laugh! haaaaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaa! and who said anything about Lebron James?
@FeelGoodEnt yea i thats why you wouldnt know him ...and i would i cry or even get provoked.... why did you laugh? and i told you that he is more athletic than lebron james so you could know how amazingly athletic he was
@socool34534 Oh okay.. My fault.... I had you misunderstood man.... its all good... i thought you were crying, but you were only talking sports... I can respect that... Just so many cry babies on here, but obviously you're not one of them. you were just stating facts. i can respect that. once again. my fault homey...
Reggie Lewis would have been a great player. Only Jordan and Drexler were comparable in terms of talent and athleticism in that era. Imagine if Len Bias had lived: Lewis might have won a title before Jordan.
And to those stating Lewis was underrated, maybe in this day and age where players are forgotten. I hated the Celtics, but admit to tuning in to games just to watch Reggie. He was a streaky shooter, sometimes it took a while for him to get going, but he was like a storm when he went off comments are limited, but I have a special memory of lewis on my bday live against the heat. A 3 for 14 performance, and then scoring 11 straight in the 4th including a cols blooded steal and 3pter...
Dumb-in-a-can I know its difficult for your race to comprehend, well just about anything. Except maybe platano. Nobody has said Jordan is not one of the greatest, but that doesn't mean he was perfect, he dropped 30+ a night, or that he didn't make mistakes. He was human and had bad nights, even series (96 finals payton would contain him eventually). This video a game aired on nbc, jordan lost the battle. He would win many others. No go back to eating your mangu, and watching jordan clips on yt..
@sexyloser no, this was not young Jordan. this is in 1991, his 7th season in the league. Jordan was in his prime here ('87-93). I'm a die hard fan' & even I must admit that Lewis clearly manhandled Jordan. 4 rejections in the same game by the same player on Michael Jordan......who wouldv'e ever thunk that?
@sexyloser Jordan had been in the league long enough. This would have been his 6th or 7th season. My question for you is, how come Jordan couldn't even win one measly playoff game against the Celtics in the 80's? Not the greatest ever. I leave that to either Magic or Bird.
@lasoogneypubes Maybe because the Celtics team was way better than the Bulls? Playoff wins are won by a team, not a single individual. Not even the greatest could beat a team as good as that. Jordan is the best player for me though.
@polgasrg Yea but the alleged greatest could show up and make shots. In the 4th Q of the C's second sweep against the Bulls, in Chicago - Jordan missed all his shots while Bird scored 15, nailing shot after shot and assisting in other plays to sweep Jordan out of the playoffs and complete the 11 pt comeback w/o McHale. People want to pretend Jordan was greater than he was. Even the season he scored 37 ppg, he did it while shooting under 50 percent and having a losing season.
@FavreianVengeance dont' forgot his 35ppg, 53.5% season. yap MJ had a losing season at his 3rd season. He was not a great team player back then. He rely his game on 1 on 1 game just like today's players.
But those early years were the time he broke many individual record, thats still great.
And MJ became mature later and became great leader, you can see the Bulls only got 2 star: Pip and MJ, they still defeat LAL in 5 games.
@FavreianVengeance Again, it's team play. It's a hell of a lot harder to shoot when the only focus of the defense is you. Besides, everybody has a bad night. Just because you had 1 bad quarter where you miss all your shots doesn't mean anything. No matter how good you are, if your teammates aren't good enough to hold their own allowing opponents to focus their entire defensive strategies on you, then you're going to have a hell of a hard time.
@polgasrg I get that it's team play. That's why I think Bird was better than Jordan. Bird made his teammates so much better than Jordan ever did. Not to mention how Bird did own Jordan outright. Even when he was a cripple in the 90's he was giving Jordan a run for his money.
@FavreianVengeance Actually Bird already had a lot of great teammates (Kevin McHale, Dennis Johnson, Robert Parish, Danny Ainge) and only had 3 championships while MJ only had Pippen for his first 3 then added Rodman for his next. I would say MJ had a greater impact on his team based on this alone. That's MJ and Pippen alone for the first 3 championships. I'd say he made the team a heck of a lot better than Bird ever could.
@polgasrg 80-86 Bird had 5 real championship shots in which the main players were healthy. He won 3 against Magic, Dr. J, Kareem and Moses Malone, and the twin towers. In 87, 88 the Celts had injury problems so Bird individually upped his game to be the only player in NBA history to shot 50 fg, 40 3fg, and 90 FT 2 yrs in a row. Bird came into the league and turned a 29 win team into a 60 win team. Jordan had 3 losing seasons. In the 81 Finals McHale avgd 4.7 p
@polgasrg Still doesn't change the fact that he had teammates who could take the pressure off of him when necessary. Ever heard of the Jordan Rules? Those were the defensive schemes created specifically to stop MJ alone. He was so good they had to create new defensive plays for him. That's how hard it was for MJ. He never faced single coverage his entire career. He even said so himself. Of course he had a hard time winning without backup and facing multiple players every play.

He never faced single coverage his entire career. He even said so himself. Of course he had a hard time winning without backup and facing multiple players every play.
@lasoogneypubes I agree. Bird beat Jordan at least 14 games in a row at one point. He went into Chicago w/o McHale and swept MJ with 15 4th Q pts to MJ's ZERO. And Bird definitely was the greatest ever. I'm not even sure if Magic was more valuable to the Lakers than Kareem or Worthy.
@FavreianVengeance well Bird was a great player but he got 3 HOF in his early career. Magic got 5 rings, what can you say? And who is more important to Lakers? I guess those MVP, FMVP can tell you.
@FavreianVengeance I remember one finals Magic got injured. And LA swept by Pistons. I don't think if it's Worthy not in the game they would get swept by Pistons.
@jimmychuang My math was right... 6 or 7 years in the league up to the point in this video. Rookie in 85, this game was in 91. I can understand Jordan's Bulls losing to Larry's Celtics being the 8th seed and all, but they didn't even win ONE game! Even really shitty 8 seed teams can win one game against the 1 seed.
actually that season (1991) the Bulls were 2:2 against Celtics. It was bad for a champion. But anyway even Celtics met Bulls in playoffs, they would not win.
From 1990-1993, Bulls were 10: 3 against Celtics. From 88-89, they were 5:5.
Before 88 what did MJ got? Bird got 3 HOF, how do you compare 2 players with totally different level of teammates?
@jimmychuang I'm not talking about the Celtics, I'm talking about Larry Bird's Celtics. I don't think MJ could beat Bird's team with or without McHale and Parish. In fact, Bird dominated Jordan's Bulls when McHale was injured. Also keep in mind that Larry Bird DRAMATICALLY turned around the Celtics' record in his rookie season, and that was without McHale and Parish. Jordan couldn't even make his team a winning team in his rookie year.
Dawg I been watching bball since 1989. What gets me is, these kids NEVER got to see Jordan play. Or atleast got to see wizards jordan and one 40 pt game. Yet they talk about him like they were season ticket holders. Again I'm 28 and missed out on ALOT of MJs career, but saw enough to know he was far from perfect. That's why MJ made the my fault commercial. Back to this video. I never saw another player defend Jordan better than Reggie except for Gary Payton.
@QuebolaQuebolin MJ is the greatest dumbass. He has the record for the highest scoring avg, the most scoring titles, the most NBA Finals MVPs and he was on 9 all NBA defensive teams.
Reggie got paid on those blocks. Two of them were pretty damn authorative.
Everyone gets blocked. If you step on a basketball court thinking you're untouchable, you need to go play golf or bowling or some shit.
Also want to point out that Jordan didn't stop and cry for a foul like you see from many of today's high profile players. I'm not naming names, but you know who they are. You're either nodding your head right now, or trying to think up an excuse.
Loooooooool all the jordan stanboys trying to excuse 2 blocks and not give credit where it is due. Lewis was a special player, like MJ was. He won this particular battle, mj would win others. GET OVER IT.
@QuebolaQuebolin I know!!, jordan does no wrong in their eyes. thats annoyin as shit cuz every basketball video you go to there like michael jordans internet lawyers who defend all of his defects.
Jordan really got cleanly blocked full stop, these first two were impressive 1 on 1 proper blocks, and I've never seen that before on Jordan by one player in one game. The 3rd isn't a block, heck the shot hit the back of the rim, #4 hmmm...
@libertatus My point was that one of the "deflected" shots still had the opportunity to go in. The other two didn't, which is where Albert should have used "rejected."
@fenujin29 your a fucking moron... he never got the chance to win 6 titles because his career was cut short cuz he died, u idiot. he only played from 87-93. Mj is the best but mj woulda never won six titles if reggie and bias didnt die. he woulda been lucky to win 2
btw if you check basketball-reference_boxscores_199103310BOS.html you will find out that MJ had 12/36 FGs in that game
typical jordan who kept trying to win the game by his own. if it wasnt for jackson, winter, pippen and the triangle offense jordan would have won ZERO titles. NADA, zip.
@nasoszeppos I love the Lakers and have been a fan since Carter was president but let's be fair. Kobe, bless his heart, has all his titles under Jackson as well. Kobe has the motive and opportunity, however, to change that.
@nasoszeppos ohh man...really kobe>MJ..u dnt knw basketball man...its just in 1 game he got blocked 4 times so what...nd plzz dnt talk abt hi fg%..it's just 1 game man..in that year his fg% was arnd 53%..u dnt knw baketball man...kobe's nt greater than MJ nor kareem nor magic nor oscar robertson...he's good no doubt..what ur sayin is an insult to all these greats n dont talk shit frm nw on or i'll have to teach history of basketball to u..kobe's got some years left n lets see where he ends!!
@nasoszeppos nd yeah jordan won with the help of scottie nd jackson so what??? u want him to play without teammates nd without a coach..no 1 can do that..NOT EVEN GOD!!!!!...nd atleast MJ is nt as big ball hog as kobe is..if jordan always tried to score on his own, no probs he always scored more points than kobe...nd his fg% justifies it..nd won six rings without a center like shaq or gasol...
@nasoszeppos nd 1 more thing..MJ always elevated his play in postseason unlike KOBE..u can go nd check his records abt his performance in every single season..MJ even scored 40,50 points in finals which kobe never did nd will never do...nd has even hit game winners in finals series!!!....is it enough fr u or shld i still teach u some more basketball.nd remember 1 thing, pippen wasn't always good..MJ made him a good player...phil jackson nd scottie have themselves admitted it..nw CLASS DISMISSED!
@stematwork then your just blind even if he just touched the ball with his finger tops, he blocked it. you block it if you alter the shot and he did 4 times so 4 blocks.
@jbgjeroen ha ha...re watched it multiple times. there MIGHT have been two blocks. definitely 4 good defensive stops...but not all of the them are legit blocks. if the criteria for a block is "you alter the shot" then Hakeem averaged 432 blocks per game.
@bigben0316 well the first shot WAS a fadeaway. perhaps not THE fadeaway that MJ developed later in his career, but it was a fadeaway shot nevertheless.
They didn't want him dropping 63 in the garden again so they played with a purpose specifically to stop that from happening. If I'm not mistaken Jordan still dropped close to 40 on a damn good / great C's squad. LMAO
One of the truly great players and person in the NBA in the early 90's It was so sad when he died during the game.He seem to be a future HOF. RIP Reggie Lewis
@Uptempo100 come on man, i feel bad i made fun of someone who died. i would never do it intentionally. if i could of deleted my comment i 100% would do it. thats why i posted another comment explaining myself.
@2paccthuglifee here's a good excuse: MJ was so magnificient that 20 years after this game is over, in order to hype up a great player (Reggie Lewis) the best was to do it is to mention how well he did in ONE particular game against the greatest player of all time.
It is a testament to Reggie BECAUSE MJ was so great.
Also, it was too bad that he passed away. I remember watching Sports Center and catching the news about Reggie Lewis. He was so talented and gifted. RIP
Man, I'm a big Michael Jordan fan but I must admit that Reggie Lewis did a great job defending MJ at that time. Very rare to see MJ stuffed like that I guess. It makes me feel a little better in sense that you can fail and work harder next time. Thanks for sharing this.
A very good inside SF who was improving every year and was widely considered to become as good as Bird one day, if not better if he continued to improved. He died of a heart defect; you might find him and Len Bias interesting. They were both the future of the Celtics and together they could have very well rivaled Jordan/Pippen. Both had tragic deaths, with Len Bias dying shortly after being drafted.
R.I.P Reggie Lewis.

@lasoogneypubes Maybe because the Celtics team was way better than the Bulls? Playoff wins are won by a team, not a single individual. Not even the greatest could beat a team as good as that. Jordan is the best player for me though.
polgasrg 3 months ago
@polgasrg Yea but the alleged greatest could show up and make shots. In the 4th Q of the C's second sweep against the Bulls, in Chicago - Jordan missed all his shots while Bird scored 15, nailing shot after shot and assisting in other plays to sweep Jordan out of the playoffs and complete the 11 pt comeback w/o McHale. People want to pretend Jordan was greater than he was. Even the season he scored 37 ppg, he did it while shooting under 50 percent and having a losing season.
FavreianVengeance 3 months ago
@FavreianVengeance dont' forgot his 35ppg, 53.5% season. yap MJ had a losing season at his 3rd season. He was not a great team player back then. He rely his game on 1 on 1 game just like today's players.
But those early years were the time he broke many individual record, thats still great.
And MJ became mature later and became great leader, you can see the Bulls only got 2 star: Pip and MJ, they still defeat LAL in 5 games.

@FavreianVengeance Again, it's team play. It's a hell of a lot harder to shoot when the only focus of the defense is you. Besides, everybody has a bad night. Just because you had 1 bad quarter where you miss all your shots doesn't mean anything. No matter how good you are, if your teammates aren't good enough to hold their own allowing opponents to focus their entire defensive strategies on you, then you're going to have a hell of a hard time.
polgasrg 3 months ago
@polgasrg I get that it's team play. That's why I think Bird was better than Jordan. Bird made his teammates so much better than Jordan ever did. Not to mention how Bird did own Jordan outright. Even when he was a cripple in the 90's he was giving Jordan a run for his money.
FavreianVengeance 3 months ago
@FavreianVengeance Actually Bird already had a lot of great teammates (Kevin McHale, Dennis Johnson, Robert Parish, Danny Ainge) and only had 3 championships while MJ only had Pippen for his first 3 then added Rodman for his next. I would say MJ had a greater impact on his team based on this alone. That's MJ and Pippen alone for the first 3 championships. I'd say he made the team a heck of a lot better than Bird ever could.

@polgasrg 80-86 Bird had 5 real championship shots in which the main players were healthy. He won 3 against Magic, Dr. J, Kareem and Moses Malone, and the twin towers. In 87, 88 the Celts had injury problems so Bird individually upped his game to be the only player in NBA history to shot 50 fg, 40 3fg, and 90 FT 2 yrs in a row. Bird came into the league and turned a 29 win team into a 60 win team. Jordan had 3 losing seasons. In the 81 Finals McHale avgd 4.7 p

@polgasrg Still doesn't change the fact that he had teammates who could take the pressure off of him when necessary. Ever heard of the Jordan Rules? Those were the defensive schemes created specifically to stop MJ alone. He was so good they had to create new defensive plays for him. That's how hard it was for MJ. He never faced single coverage his entire career. He even said so himself. Of course he had a hard time winning without backup and facing multiple players every play.

@lasoogneypubes I agree. Bird beat Jordan at least 14 games in a row at one point. He went into Chicago w/o McHale and swept MJ with 15 4th Q pts to MJ's ZERO. And Bird definitely was the greatest ever. I'm not even sure if Magic was more valuable to the Lakers than Kareem or Worthy.

@FavreianVengeance well Bird was a great player but he got 3 HOF in his early career. Magic got 5 rings, what can you say? And who is more important to Lakers? I guess those MVP, FMVP can tell you.

In MJ's 7th season they won first ring, so do your homework ok?

@jimmychuang My math was right... 6 or 7 years in the league up to the point in this video. Rookie in 85, this game was in 91. I can understand Jordan's Bulls losing to Larry's Celtics being the 8th seed and all, but they didn't even win ONE game! Even really shitty 8 seed teams can win one game against the 1 seed.
lasoogneypubes 3 months ago
@lasoogneypubes
actually that season (1991) the Bulls were 2:2 against Celtics. It was bad for a champion. But anyway even Celtics met Bulls in playoffs, they would not win.
From 1990-1993, Bulls were 10: 3 against Celtics. From 88-89, they were 5:5.
Before 88 what did MJ got? Bird got 3 HOF, how do you compare 2 players with totally different level of teammates?
Even in 1990, the Bulls got only 2 all-star.
jimmychuang 3 months ago
@jimmychuang I'm not talking about the Celtics, I'm talking about Larry Bird's Celtics. I don't think MJ could beat Bird's team with or without McHale and Parish. In fact, Bird dominated Jordan's Bulls when McHale was injured. Also keep in mind that Larry Bird DRAMATICALLY turned around the Celtics' record in his rookie season, and that was without McHale and Parish. Jordan couldn't even make his team a winning team in his rookie year.

Yet they talk about him like they were season ticket holders. Again I'm 28 and missed out on ALOT of MJs career, but saw enough to know he was far from perfect. That's why MJ made the my fault commercial. Back to this video. I never saw another player defend Jordan better than Reggie except for Gary Payton.

Both had tragic deaths, with Len Bias dying shortly after being drafted.
