Michael Jordan - Kenny Rogers' Classic Weekend 1988

[jimmychuang]

MJ has some fancy moves at street ball.

[gsvkck]

Kenny Roger is pretty good, but it looks like he was moving in slow motion when dribbling.

[netcap001]

1:30 how the hell did that happen?

[szaret1]

If i ever had a chance to play him I would rather him try hard...whats the point of playing against jordan or anyone for that matter if they are just gonna let you score.

[imsljr420]

@szaret1 : but it doesn't matter if you win or lose so why play hard?

[ChaseRocker]

Jordan probably had $50k riding on this game.

Kenny Rogers plays better defense than Craig Ehlo!

[DOBERMAN7203]

Was that John McEnroe with the lefty hook shot @ 1:36?

[jimmychuang]

MJ kept blocking those old men. I don't think those old men will like it.

[BREW343812]

great vid!!

[radioactivehands]

Larry actually played pretty good D on Jordan, I really wanna have those hook shot moves

[t5chris]

Kenny Roger took Jordan to school. I want to be like Kenny!

[BASKETBALLJEZUS]

larry bird the greatest of all time ;)

[jordanlover23]

LMAO @ Jordan sending everyone's stuff to the third row in a charity game against non-players. LOL I'm dying here.

[ELkORji]

[Avery7098]

Lets create WORLD EQUALITY.

[ButtZilla1031]

[BrunoLS09]

0:15

MJ just doesn't knows how to kid, LOL.

[29mdr]

very rare

[jdmmuscle]

This footage is classic on so many levels... You got some of the greatest players ever on the court with rec league stars, and Chick Hearn is calling the game!!! Awesome.

[acehighpat]

I remember this. It was like an hour long TV special where Rogers would get sports stars to compete in a charity weekend. It didn't last that long.

[robomanification]

@acehighpat nice idea though and great footage.

[RAV52]

His competitiveness was as great as I've ever seen in any sport.

[mananmater]

good vid, thanks for posting

[Quadzilla99]

Jordan's competitiveness was non-stop man, lol. God, he looks like he's dying to win this game.

[jedipudu]

Rogers puts Jordan in the popcorn maker. Except he traveled...open your eyes ref!!!! lol

[bvilla34]

jordan always played like it was a championship

[adamsamazingapples]

lol birds lay up at 1:44

[hasselbeck24]

lol, mj thought he was sick trying to reject an old man but then got schooled

[cgwam]

Y the hell is jordan playing like this is a nba championship!!! lol

[ssgoku003]

@cgwam that's is competitive drive!!

[snakeplay]

@cgwam if ur not gona do ur best no point of even doing it gosh!!!!!

[djmilan2]

@cgwam play every game as if it is your last - Michael Jordan.

[duodat]

@cgwam you see, the best have this habit . Every single game is like a final , that's what makes them the best

[SevenMan]

Awesome video! Rare footage I've never seen before.

Thanks for the upload!

[jimmychuang]

damn, Jordan kept blocking those short guys

[Bigturns33]

LOL it was like he was playing with 5 year olds LOL not letting them make a basket.

[jdmmuscle]

Forget to add.... Chick Hearn ftmfw!!

[jdmmuscle]

Loving this footage.. That era is so different then our own. MJ and his competitive nature as of right now will go down in history as second to none..... Kobe is the only dude who can come close, kudos to the both of them. Kobes game has risen to an amazing level, it's nothing short of a privelege to be able to watch the contrasts and similarities between the two. Long live MJ.

[after4ffect]

to keep with the times...

Simmons

[MuckRaker777]

yeah i was led to this from a simmons podcast. pretty funny.

[Arch91]

kenny rogers hahahahaha...

[NailMan5]

simmons.

[johnwfb]

why is larry bird wearing 32 instead of 33?

[ds102]

How about Bird wearing 32?

[geeisthisnametaken]

Best part was a fat guy (Kenny) driving to the basket, that was gold.

[meowdragon]

Love how Bird just does a granny layup at the end

[quitmon]

that just goes to show you...m.j. played to win no matter who was on the court!! he was as intense as ever

[jz646]

does MJ know he's not playing the Pistons?

[martinemmanuel23]

hahahahahaha

[sawtoothdan]

Simmons.

OK 2 things jumped out at me. 1)1:24 is the best part of the whole thing. The look on Jordan's face is priceless. It's like "I don't care if the other team has Goldie Hahn, we're gonna TAKE THIS THING!!"

And 2) Bird's team won, on a somewhat awkward but highly effective move on MJ no less. Great stuff.

[levitynyc]

Simmons

[blackplatinum15]

Lol Kenny Rogers did Mike in! What does mark jackson say? hand down, man down...mama there goes that man....

[keeper1125]

simmoms

[Amir883]

Awesome upload! Wish there were more of these types of games going on now.

[jjl51999]

damn can it get more rare than this?!

[airswade]

WOW! Super rare! Thanx for posting!

[bballmemories]

it's hard to get top players to play charity pickup games like this today. Too many teams are treating their players like properties, limiting their rights to enjoy basketball outside NBA arena.

[bballmemories]

awesome...there will never be another announcer like Chick Hearn.

MJ was too competitive even in charity games, he thought it was the Finals..lol...

MJ has that intimidating look, someone from LA is mimicking that same look

[saturndual32]

yet, that guy from LA falls way short from the original material.

[clarkman83]

and that's why he just won his 4th ring about a month ago;-) Impersonation is the greatest form of flattery!

[philanderadriaan]

@bballmemories yea... even down to the tongue, the earring, the armband, the victory fist etc

[habib09]

Kenny Rogers was Housin, lol

[Zitzmeister9]

thats so cool...omg i cant believe!

[jxn23]

This is awesome! So rare- thanks for posting this.

[AgentCirrus]

lol Bird with the airball that never came down

[jordanlover23]

LOL Mike wasn't having none of that shit. Swatting the hell out of weekend warriors left and right. LMAO. Veyy rare game. Thanks.

[andgar923]

Wow.... great upload.

rip Chick Hearns

[xzver]

Awesome!

[mikey7619]

Sweet!!!! :) Thanks for posting this

[mnkhan2020]

absolutely rare as gem!! Just listen to the commentrators. They're 100 times better than today's abc, tnt & tbs fake commentrators.

[lakerman91]

That's because that is Chick Hearn. The GOAT.

[saarepuu]

rare!
