MICHAEL JORDAN: 41 pts vs Phoenix Suns (2002) HD

[nigropuntdus]

wow 4:05 that double pump, 90% of players woulda clanged it off the side of the rim, such strength required

[kennygriff24]

Would have loved to see what MJ could have done on a better team. Those Wizards teams he played on for 2 years were a notch up from a good high school team. Imagine if he had played for a team like the Spurs or Pacers. We could be talking about all 8 of Jordan's rings.

[jeanrollan]

Damn, he was just unbelievable. Its too easy for him out there.

[GlitchInMotion]

4:05 HANGTIME UNLEADED

[GlitchInMotion]

how can a 39 year old man be 7th in the league in scoring... think about it... that's fuckin scary

[uberathlete]

lolz you think Marion has a chance against Jordan? Fkin hell Scottie Pippen played MJ in practice all the time. The greatest scorer and one of the greatest perimeter defenders of all time has a practice partner who's also one of the greatest perimeter defenders of all time.

3:55

Kobe? Lebron?

[saturndual32]

Am i the only one who thinks that after witnessing the 2011 playoffs, Kobes, Lebrons and to a lesser extent Wades stock fell even lower in comparison to Jordan? Its not that they were ever really close but still...

[uberathlete]

@saturndual32 Yep. But people forget easily. They'll conveniently forget the 2011 playoffs and resume trying to discredit MJ's greatness.

[GlitchInMotion]

@saturndual32 the sad thing is, I don't know how their stock has ever gotten that up... LeBron got swept in the finals (w/ no help, so I can understand) but this time he got all the help in the world, and didn't make it...

Kobe's closer to Jordan than LeBron has ever been, ever.. but Kobe's best performance int he finals is dropping what? 40? Jordan's been consistently dropping 50 in that sumbitch

[Honkyrappa]

I went to this game. My first Wizards game, been a fan ever since.

[whomiketrann]

if he didn't take those 3 years off before joining the wizards, he could've easily surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in points total, easily.

[whomiketrann]

jordan said a couple months ago that in his prime he could score 100 points in today's game. im not gonna disagree. who could guard him?

[victor1203x]

if god plays basketball, he would play like mike

[tongtau]

today's superior defenders and modern defense????! wht a joke. go home do some studies and suck the kobidick

[ch53tm]

lol at 41% shooting, even steve francis shoots better

[koalalauncher]

@ch53tm 40 years old man.. on 2 bad news.. the fact that he didnt shoot under 35% is amazing.

[koalalauncher]

@ch53tm 2 bad knees*

[netcap001]

@ch53tm

...allen iversons career fg% is %42...and he is considered a great player

40 year old jordan tops that...and you give him no credit?

you=moron

[brian05fubu]

damn......speechless

[saturndual32]

41 points againts Shawn Marion, who is so atheltic that they call him "The Matrix". Marion here was taller, faster, quicker stronger than Mike (i think Shawn was also wearing a kryptonite ring), yet he was looking helpless againts a 40 years old man. Do the math kiddies, a prime Jordan would tear todays league a new one.

[MegaVideoLog]

@saturndual32 Dude the NBA today is more physical and more competative today. Also if kobe watched this video he would start scoring 50 instead of 41. Kobe is sharing the ball today and he doesn't need to score 40 or more. Also Kobe takes tougher shots than Jordan, that makes him the best. Nobody can guard him in the NBA right now. I don't disrespect Jordans prime but in the NBA today it has an edge over the old days. Also K.O.B.E stands for King Of Basketball Era.

[rbergmann3]

@MegaVideoLog

Saying Kobe is better than MJ shows that you don´t know anything about basketball. NBA was a lot tougher then, now de refs call everything.

By the way, Gasol was the MVP of last year´s finals, not Kobe.

[rjkahlon]

@rbergmann3 Kobe was awarded the MVP award, not Gasol.

[rbergmann3]

@rjkahlon i know he was awarded as the MVP, but he wasn´t the MVP of that series

[rjkahlon]

@rbergmann3 Well, thats based on opinion. The fact is that Kobe was the MVP of the Finals.

[uberathlete]

@rjkahlon yep, an award he did not deserve. Just like he didn't deserve being on the All Defense 1st team last season.

[rjkahlon]

@uberathlete Again, based on opinion.

[toomuchfails]

@MegaVideoLog More physical when being protected by constant whistling, and more competitive with watered down competition? No. Kobe shares the ball these days because he knows that his trying to score too much is harmful to his team. His winning percentage when scoring 40+ is way worse than MJ's winning percentage when scoring 40+. MJ is the GOAT. He proved it when real defenses were allowed back when the NBA was a man's league, and he proved it at age 38-40 with nothing but a jumper to go by.

[mylesusa]

@saturndual32 looks like the jordan at the end of his career tore the league a new one as well

[gbinct]

@saturndual32 Well said... and don't forget he was basically playing on one good leg with the Wizards, having pints of fluid continually removed from his knee.

[spainbarcarealmadrid]

@saturndual32 Shawn Marion was helpless against MJ but Made Kobe and LeBron play like shit

[saturndual32]

@spainbarcarealmadrid Yeah, Marion played some terriffic defense againts those 2 in this playoffs, even though he is past his prime. In this video, Jordan at 40 in one good leg, is torching a prime Shawn "The Matrix" Marion. Props to Marion he had a great playoffs run, i didnt think at this point in his career he still had it in him, i guess "The Matrix" got reloaded, hehe.

[TheQmartin]

@saturndual32 you was doing good until you said he would tear todays league a new one we would all love to see it but it aint happening so were just stuck with video games and people like you giving your opinion on how mj would do this and do that but nobody talks about what todays league would do to him and in my opinion jordan would still be great but there would be debates on the best instead of mj hands down...in my opinion ofcourse

[happymarlon82791]

@saturndual32 yeah right mj makes basketball so easy for him unlike kobe. agree

[MJisKingKobesuckss]

Sick

[502airjordan]

nba 2k11 the return of the legend OCTOBER 5TH

[daren420c]

@502airjordan Already, let the Jordan era begin!

[svenneken23]

Speechless...

[metajna]

Best footwork in NBA even at age 39.....made it to perfection....not wasting energy on fancy dribbling to lose defender.

[andgar923]

But... but.... MJ could NEVER play against today's superior defenders and modern defense... NEVER!!!!!

[iasonas8]

@andgar923

hahahahaha!!! today's defences are for joke!

you are propably 12 yo

[jeditwinz]

@iasonas8 That would be Andgar's incredible sarcasm. He was pointing out what most of the kids nowadays always seem to say.

[JW2K3]

@andgar923

I hope your joking...

[tongtau]

@andgar923 today's superior defenders and modern defense????! , the near 40yo MJ was scoring 41 pts on tthat damn yr. 2002 when the same yr. the Lakers champ., so the damn 02 Lakers with the beast Shaq. could NEVER play against today's superior defenders and modern defense... NEVER? whts ur fucking logic, admit you NEVER get the chance to experience the golden era of NBA is better and think how to train up your brain right now is more meaningful, smoked kid

[josj15]

@andgar923 this was 2003, they called the game like they do now,its not like its 1992
