Michael Jordan - 57 points and 10 assists vs Washington Bullets (Dec 23, 1992)

[makoyepuk]

The audacity of the last shot!

[mediabench]

Phhhht Scott Williams - what a DORK!

[JSTAT1006]

I feel bad for Doug Overton.

[xDrake00Xeyus00]

5:58 is where kobe learned his move.

[tasfeb24]

What a great pass 3:16

[Tehkillerbunneeh]

Thanks alot for uploading these. I'm 14 so i wasn't able to experience Michael playing. But this is great :)

[ipnutt22]

GOAT!

Cardinal 7s 

[kuriaki71]

thee greatest

[gukonni]

After looking at the stats on nba.com one thing is for sure, Kobe may have produced the same number of points per shot as MJ, but MJ outshined Kobe in what matters on both ends: assists, steals, blocks, rebounds, turnovers, etc. Not only that, but he took more shots and produced more total points in a given span of time. Considering his FG% and his FT%, that was not a bad strategy. He was a notably better athlete than Kobe to play as well and intensely as he did.

[Bayzky]

@gukonni YOUR ABSOLUTELY RIGHT

[gfy324]

this guys a fag

[chiladin]

@1:14...that's what seperates Jordan from Kobe, Wade, Lebron, Durant, Melo. T-Mac, Carter, Allen etc...He had the ability and confidence to take and make that shot which is actually a very difficult shot to make! Jordan was the greatest midrange shooter from 23 feet in only rivaled by Larry Bird.

[triklops]

Haha, listen to the crowd's disappointment when MJ left that fast break jam for Pip :)

[GreatkingAlexander]

the golden era

[RAV52]

With performances like this throughout his career, MJ proved over and over that he had the unsurpassed killer instinct to deliver more daggers to his opponents than a character from Assassin's Creed.

[heysilentkiller]

6:00 - 6:08 pivot move that kobe copied

[MrBaracuda90]

michael is greatest player ever !!

[F355]

the move starting at 5:58

wow!

[iTzeXile13]

amazing performance by jordan.

[skrall29]

Go Bullets, used to be my favorite team, now, the wizards :)

[aHIGHasian]

goosebumps....

[FrsBigeasy]

The Bullets had a horrible record in 1993 but they were competitive

[sdhefe]

I can't believe people actually compare kobe to MJ and some people like Mark Jackson actually think Kobe is better than him. Looking at these past vids of MJ has totally changed my mind, he's head and shoulders better than Kobe or lebron.

[dafoo28]

@sdhefe marck jackson got toasted by Jordan plenty of times when he was with the knicks that's why he say's kobe is better cause he dont like Jordan

[69points]

@dafoo28 absolutely right  !!!!

[Grapes428]

Rex Champan could have had a better career if he didn't play for the Bullets. He still has the Kentucky record for most points in a freshman season. Gugliotta was a good basketball player but he just never got better after each year. And I think it's safe to say never nervous Pervis never lived up to his #1 pick hype.

[sshaxy]

i know u guys r gonna hate me.. but that spin move at 6:00 was kobeskkk lol

[daGOATmj23]

Now we know were kobe got his signature move from

[Jumpman1989]

yes, but only 17 years later haha

[kevante1]

i hate the washington wizards!!!! i want the washington bullets back, along with the '70's and 80's-90's jerseys!!!!!!!

[EastSydeHoods]

@kevante1 U got your wish. Wizards all day!

[WiltatKansas]

Jordan's freaks.

[Basketguy12]

The spin move at 6:00 is awesome.

[cooljjjj]

0:55 MJ TORCHED the net...looked like something from NBA Jam.

[goldenstateketchup]

wow are you serious

i rmember that game i didnt know poele that played that were still alive

[cooljjjj]

I swear you can see sparks fly off the net after that J.

[goldenstateketchup]

the net swished.

[TheRatedIX7]

Michael just murdered every team he played against.

[hkchrisnz]

fuckin' SHIT D by Bullets

[ajwolff8]

Washington Bullets for lyfe

[falkner23]

57 points & 10 assists WOOOOOOOOOOOO thats BAAAAALLLIIIINNNN!!! momma there goes that man LOL

[jeanrollan]

Jordan had 10 assists in this game. Tony Parker is the only other player to score 55 pts and have 10 assists in a game.

[g0ldbuG]

oscar, too ;) 56 points 12 assists 63-64 season

[jeanrollan]

Thanks for the history check.

[acotytamwiesz]

57 garbage-points by MJ. Key baskets courtesy of Pippen

[dimedropper1992]

Michael is sooo good getting open and making space

[beaumiller81]

Also,how many great centers were playing back then compared to now? Robinson,Olajuwon,Ewing,Mutomb­o etc.nowadays there aint shit for centers.

[8cali94]

6:00 to 6:02 beautiful move

[dimedropper1992]

kobe got it from him

[ontemp]

how did you embed the time links in your comment? Thanks.

[MJisKingKobesuckss]

Pippen is great player no doubt. Jordan was so great he won with pippen who was 6'7 versatile small forward. Meaning Jordan didn't need a legitimate center. He is the only player that won that way. That in it self is amazing. Todays NBA is such a joke with zone d and defensive 3 seconds. There is absolutely no physical play. Jordan at the age of 40 was burning zone d at that old age when his legs were wobbly and old. Jordan=GOAT

[T0mRichards0n]

watch the huge travel at 5:38

[goate]

Great video. I remember the Doug Overton hype at that time - Michael loved taking him to school!

[mirasolcarlo21]

jordan n pippen for me is the best duo of all time.. they are simply the best.. pippen can shut down any of the good players now!

[Amir883]

Anyone who doesn't given Pippen any credit doesn't know anything about basketball or the Bulls.

Btw that double spin move at 6:00 was crazy lol.

[fpraider]

scottie pippen is probably on the top 5 list of the best fowards in basketball history. I love pippen

[LilDBoi27]

yeah was at that game

[Krusher233]

They also bitch a lot more now.

[cowboykiller47]

could you imagine if the Bulls had a real center? Tom and Red sound the same only now they don't get as excited as much.

[TBlake34]

I'm not sure how much it would have helped. I remember reading an interview where Jordan said he was better off without a center who would lodge himself in the paint and clog passing lanes. I think a Garnett-esque tweener would have been better. Maybe a defensive presence who could hit a 17 footer.

[ForEmily23]

Not to state the obvious..but the Bulls didn't really need any help at all. I mean, they did win the championship in every year of the 90s during which MJ played a whole season.

So I guess the only thing that could have been better was their win-loss record and maybe how many playoff games they played.

And I agree a real center would not have been good for the Bulls. It was MJ's team. He didn't need some big man clogging the lane and demanding his share of the shots.

[Jonnyf5]

i love how most of these videos give love to pippen. pippen was awesome too, except for that one time he refused to come off the sub section in the playoffs w/o jordan.

[kOrOne79]

Yes he was.

I'll post his 47 point game in the upcoming months, he deserves more credit than people are willing to give him.

[Warmanns]

Exactly! I hate it when Pip don't get no love. He is probably the most versatile player ever 2 play the game! Some more vids of Pip would b gr8!

[yahshuatwo]

the move on chapman by MJ was the sickest..

[michalus]

to me most scary of all is that he did it so easly,like a warm up before playoffs.

[Bigturns33]

YOu saw from the start of this game that Jordan would be licking his chops with these match ups of the bullets.

[TBlake34]

Jesus...look at his defense around 5:10. That's one of the many reasons why you can't mention the LeBrons and Kobes in the same breath with MJ.

[Bigturns33]

The rookie Overton was shitting his pants when he had michael hounding him like that.

[chrisguy90]

man those commentators had the best job on the planet

[alaskanmarine1]

That guy in #23 he's pretty good. Just happens to be the Goat.

[classicpt]

I look at this and see why Kobe won't be as good as Jordan. Never could he score 57 on such efficient shooting and dish out 10 assists at the same time. Jordan is the greatest of all time because he makes his team better while putting up ridiculous #'s. The same can't be said for Kobe and his #'s.

[libetta]

here is the most refined player ever

[jeanrollan]

Couldn't anybody guard the guy wearing number 23?

[Basil1976]

How do you end a game when you already have 54 points and the crowd are on their feet... Jordan for 3 ! Great post !

[guigau28]

great upload.

[craz4]

great game. Thanks for posting

[starks23]

Excellent video. You fit a lot of good stuff in there.

Jordan overshadowed Phil Jackson's 200th career victory but I'm sure he didn't complain. By the way, Jordan didn't score over 40 against Washington until 1990 or 91 I think. It probably was just coincidence. So some started to suggest Washington is somehow slowing him down. Big mistake... He then scored 57, 51,46 in 3 quarters (La Bradford game ) in just a few years :)

[jordanlover23]

And he only got 8 FTA this game. Imagine if he got 15-20+ like every other wing today when they have a hot night? You're talking 65+ points and 10 assists.

[SPMJ]

Terrific. Thanks!

[accordboy]

good post. i like how he dished the ball to Pippen on a breakaway, rather than doing it himself. It was a very unselfish play. Adding the 10 assists, he was responsible for at least 77 points of the Bulls point! Jordan's energy was boundless, not many players today play both ends at 110% the way Jordan did.

[jaboo82681]

At 6:03 he faked Rex out of his shoes

[kOrOne79]

Look at the reaction of Wes Unseld, the Bullets coach. Priceless.

[titomoreno]

@jaboo82681 in fact Rex was doing a great defense effort but MJ is awesome!

[tazbomberman]

im still amazed at how Jordan blocked that alley-oop outta nowhere ... incredible

[xkssxrrocks]

HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!

that was one of the SICKEST shots that i've EVER seen from MJ.... at 0:55!!!! O.O

I mean the ENTIRE NET went up... the WHOLE thing.. an absolute swish.. WOW. you don't see that nowadays. and we probably never will.

[rrTale]

Huge game, great image quality, and MJ is, well MJ! He could do it all. kOrOne79 u did it again mate, keep up the great work, im lookin forward to ur next vids.

[utfanatic2000]

Dish at 2:07 showing how unselfish MJ was...

[utfanatic2000]

One of the only games in nba history where a player scores 50+ and dishes 10+ in the same game.

[jeanrollan]

Jordan and Tony Parker did the same.

[utfanatic2000]

When I wrote that, a year ago, Parker had not done it. As well, Parker did it in 51 minutes, double overtime. Jordan did it in 42 minutes.

[jeanrollan]

True that.

[MattM4]

That three pointer at the end is so sick!! :D
