Your comment is utterly worthless... calling me stupid then failing to explain yourself. If you're trying to point something out then just go ahead and say it. I'd love to hear your analysis of my "horrific logic." Are you for some reason offended because you feel the need to defend Kobe? Your next comment should give me a clear picture of where you're coming from, instead of saying absolutely nothing like the last. Anyhow, Kobe played less minutes and took 17 more shots. Efficiency>volume.

If Kobe had it this easy he'd have dropped 150... Look at the breakaway dunk. No one even runs on the 76ers team and the guy who runs jogs down to get the ball and inbound it. This was a great example of a 'tougher, more physical' era, wasn't it?
@andreaaa8000 There is ONE GOD and Muhamed is His Messinger .....Equating others with God makes you stay in hell forever without any chance for forgivness.... so please stop making those comments like this one above....it will only do you harm
Athletic is just wrong word. Sorry to use that word to describe michael. MJ played hard when he played. You can't do that being an average pro player. He was exceptionally athletic. That's how he played so well in so many ways.
He was truly a great player. He took a lot of shots and that's why people don't like him or didn't, but when you look at his stats and really review his game history you see that he's the real deal. He outshines kobe easily. No argument there. All you gotta do is look and understand what you're looking at. Kobe and MJ produced the same number of points per shot, but Jordan took more shots and executed on both ends: more assists, steals, blocks, rebounds, less turnovers. He was ATHLETIC.
the defense being played on him is absolutely pathetic and it's sad how unathletic some of those players are lmfao. i lol at all the idiots that think just because it was legal to knock a guy to the floor back in the day that it meant defenses were better. jordan would never shoot 24-29 in today's game as a 6'6" guard.
@mitchyisgay ..but look at his scoring average back when he played for the wizards man..a 38 yr old guy..outsmart everyone..with his jumpshots..if he was as young and athletic like back in the 80's & 90's at that time..he would have scored atleast 40 pts a game.at 38 he got of 51 pts and dats a recrod...cmmon man..ur looking at it one sided..stop being a JORDAN HATER!!!
@mitchyisgay hey dick rider you're right jordan wouldn't shoot 24/29 in today's league he would shoot 29/29 against today's bullshit defense. the defense played by the garbage in today's league is fuckin worthless against jordan in his prime. jordan took a shit on today's league for 51 points at age 38...... he'd score 100 points in three quarters in today's fag league..... get lost fuckin cunt ps kobe = swept.
Man i miss the NBA's brutal era where you had enforcers like Bill Laimbeer, Rick Mahorn and Charles Oakley. the intense defenses, tenacious guards that were very hard to shake on defense. and last but least the refs didn't call ticky tack fouls like they do today. man i wish the NBA would go back to those rules.
For people who are tempted to point out that the Bulls lost the Game, please note the fact that Pippen was out and his supporting cast consisted of John Paxon, who had a terrible game, Horace Grant, who was in his third season, and not yet in his prime, Sam Friggin Vincent, and Brad Sellers. Heck, Jack Haley played heavy minutes in this game, as did Dave Corzine, who I believe was already a card carrying member of the AARP at the time. Jordan was a one man gang out there that night.
Let me put all the Kobe vs Jordan arguments to rest forever. If I had to bet my money on a Championship Game with Kobe Vs Jordan in their primes. I putting my money on Jordan, cause I know He would win theres no doubt. Michael Jordan is better than the Game. How do you leave a Professional League, and comeback after a 2 year Hiatus duplicating the same things you did in the past. Thats stuff only happens in the Movies, but in this case it really happened Michael Jordan is a Living Legend.
You guys are assholes Wow. Stop bringin Kobes name up when you talk about jordan and vis versa. Sad you cant appreciate such a great career Kobe has had because you "Dislike the guy" his achivments go on and on. 8th All time scorer and COUNTING gonna cruise past jabar.
THink about how hard that is for a minute. 5 Titles think about the work that goes before that. Jesus christ APPREICATE a Great Talent my god you people are so stuck up.
@RTR9 its funny but it is possible to get a championship even if you sat on the bench for most of the season. I think adam morrison got a championship with the lakers. if you're lucky to be on teams that get championships and then get as many as robert horry then yeah 5 titles wow.
i really feel like criticizing kobe and his 3/13 three point shooting and his 0/9 in the first quarter of a game. someone said kobe likes shooting in your face shots while michael jordan likes shooting open jumpers.
I just went to NBA dot com and did a little research. Right now Kobe has played in 1,058 games and scored 26,720 points. MJ played in 1,072 games and scored 32,292 points. At 25 points per game it will take Kobe 223 more games (or 2.7 seasons) to pass MJ in scoring. Or to put it into perspective MJ could come back and play 2.7 more seaons and MISS every shot he takes and he and Kobe would be about equal.
when you compare Kobe's 81 and this game, take this into account. Kobe was playing one of the worst defensive teams of all time in Toronto, he had 21 pts from 3, and 18 from the line. MJ had NO pts from 3, and 4 from the line. plus he was benched with 4:30 left, he could've easily scored 60. Last thing, Philly was beating them badly, which means they Philly wasn't a bad team, unlike Toronto
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Wowwww, Jordan is one of the greatest of all time but the people he's playing against in this video...really? How can you not score 60 points if you've got a great jumpshot, a high vertical, and a team that lets you shoot whenever you want? Fuck..these centers can't even hold a ball properly and everyone's getting all worked up as if this 'era' was impossible to score in. Fuck outta here. Kobe is the GOAT just because he's got a better killer instinct than Jordan. Jordan's a close 2nd.
Because CLEARLY, you know nothing about basketball.
You didn't even know that there was a rule change that made is easier to penetrate the lane in this era as well as the pussy touch fouls that continue to happen in today's game.
Barkley, Drexler, Hakeem, and MJ would fucking destroy this current era.
wow...first time ive seen this shit....everyone goes crazy over kobes 81 points...
but MJ did this with 80% FG%???
80 FUCKING %???
IS THIS SHIT EVEN POSSIBLE????
when people get over 50% its a wow...60% is legendary...70% is like godlike
but seriously...80%?? man there is NO comparison....NOOOOO. comparison whatsover to kobe,...i will literally suck a goat's balls if kobe does this shit....kobes 81 was at 61% fg....
@MrFireDark i dissagree....but thats just my opinion... kobe was pretty much 60% the whole game....i remember he was around 67% when he was 55 or something...so yea 50 at 80% still tops imo
@rrrevan Yep the Celtics were the best that year. Who scores 60 or more in the playoffs? In Jordan's case scoring 50 or more in the playoffs was a usual thing. You rarely ever really see any modern Nba Player scoring more than 48 in the playoffs today. The regular season People dont play defense, players might be out with injuries, and some games aren't important. In the playoffs its more competitive and every game counts. In 92' MJ had 35 at the half vs Portand in game 1 in the Finals.
@mike170tube Yep, thats why hes the best ever. is not his championships, or the best record of 72-10. or the 6 finals mvp, or that he was 6-0 in the finals. or everytime he scored 50 points or more he was 50%. or that he played against most of the top 50 best nba players ever and dominated.is just that hes a lil good :)
@mike170tube Unreal right, 83% from the field, just flat out scary. MJ was taken out the game with 4:30 left to play becuase the Bulls were obviously down too many points at the time. It would have been real interesting if the Bulls were in the game, the way MJ was shooting this would have been another 60 point game for the GOAT.
@balla4life215 Kobe took 46 shots in that game, a level of shotjacking second only to Wilt (though completely merited by his 61% FG), buffeted by a super high 20 free-throw attempts given by the refs. MJ took only 29 shots in this game and only had 4 FT attempts. The level of mastery that Jordan reached was and never never will be reached by Kobe, even in Kobe's greatest performances.
@brent6corn are u kidding me?.. NBA basketball these days is like kiddy league compared to NBA basketball in the 80's and 90's... most players these days only want a paychech first and winning is a distant second... its all about who can get the 50 or 100 million dollar contract... if jordan played in this generation of players he would average 50 points a game...
@flybri74 in this age of basketball they have better trainers, equipment and so on than what they did in jordans prime im not saying that he still wouldnt be the best if he played now but he wouldnt have been as legendary. Your wrong about the paycheck but look at lebron he is argued to be the best player in the nba and he took less money to win.
@brent6corn what lebron and bosh did was a sign of the times... they are damn near treating the NBA like a reality show forming their little alliances.. i feel like i was watching a episode of survivor when lebron had his press conference announcing where he was gonna play this season
@flybri74 Well look at the Lakers. They are seriously stacked. 3 good point guards and 4 All Stars. Then yo uhave great shooters in all the other players. Lakers have so much depth, they could be divided EVENLY into 2 teams with added players from the D League and make the 31st NBA team. Ron Artest, Gasol, Odom, Kobe, Shannon Brown, Ratliff, Barnes, Fisher, Blake, Walton, Vujacic, Bynum etc... Thats how stacked LA is.
@thewolfmanchu Jordan been retired for few years now and yet still makes more money than over paid Kobe. from June 2009- to June 2010 Kobe made $45 million total, Jordan between that time made $55 million. hahahaha Jordan wins once again! Can't f**k with Da G.O.A.T.!
@res7evil kobe is going to pass jordan in scoring before he retires even nba tv said it so suck it and is going to have more chips that jordan once again SUCK IT
@fatbrat09 True, Kobe will eventually score more points than MJ. It will take him about two more seasons, but he has already taken more shots than MJ. Think about that.
@VinmanMJ23 Only reason stupid Kobe got more points because he entered the NBA at the age of 18, Jordan went to college for 4 years and on top of that he retired and played baseball for 2 years. Kobe has right there 6 years advantage.
Hard to believe Bulls were down 19 in a game Jordan shot over 80 percent. What else could the guy do lol. How frustrating that must have been to almost literally not miss and lose.
are you kidding me....???today,there is no defense....those days defenses were too hard....it wasn't so easy to score so many points....kobe is a huge player,but he wouldn't average 40...25 maybe....
@umitseric Oooooh handchecking...yah that's the difference. The fact that you can double and triple players off the ball in the league today should end all discussion. The fact that you have "defensive" coaches who study tape like a religion and who design defensive schemes. Toss in the fact that players are WAY bigger, stronger, faster, taller and straight up more athletic exposes you as a mental midget. Go watch the '10 Celtics D vs. the 1986 Celtics D. Take the blinders off.
@renzo1200 WTF? Doubling a dude off the ball is irrelevant. It hardly ever happens, and the guy just passes it if it does. Regardless, it happened to MJ, and there is video to prove it. Perimeter players ppg and FG% jumped right after perimeter handchecking was completely banned. Players are bigger and stronger? LMAO. Yeah, steph curry and montae ellis and kirk hinrich are huge! LMAO. Durant is SO strong huh? LMAO. Harold Minor was "Baby Jordan", a freaky athlete, nothin in MJ's era.
@utfanatic2000 It actually does happen all the time...it's called the zone defense which Jordan never faced. If Permiter players are scoring more, than explain why the average team ouput is down 20 points since the 80's. Since defenses were so much better then, why could teams run up 130 points per game? With no handchecking now, why so many 3's? Jordan was ahead of his time. I'll give him that. But put Kobe in the 80's and he'd drop 40 a game if not more. Heck the guy dropped 81 in a game. LMAO
@renzo1200 Wrong. Zone does not exist today due to 3 seconds in the lane being illegal defensively. "Zone" has always been legal as long as the defensive guidelines were not violated. Men could guard a "zone" all day long as long as they were within a certain distance of their cover. All they needed to do is have one foot outside the lane on that side of the court! lol.
@utfanatic2000 "Zone" defenses were played by both the Suns and the Celtics in the playoff this year. You obviously weren't paying attention. The fact that the "Zone" has been always been legal, doesn't necessarily mean it was employed it in the 80's. If you pay attention to the defenses thrown at Jordan, he frequently faced man-to-man. But you obviously don't watch basketball, since you think players in the 80's were physcially stronger, faster and bigger.
@renzo1200 No, the Celtics do not play zone, and the Suns zone was pitiful. LA was just not ready for it. It was the fact that they switched it up that surprised LA. Next game, they were fine. Apparently YOU weren't paying attention. As Bruce Bowen said, championship teams don't play zone. It is a weak defense. I've watched basketball for decades kid, and played for as long. Educate yourself.
@renzo1200 Grant hill is 37 and a shadow of his former self, yet still starts in this league. That tells you all you need to know. lol. Montae Ellis, Steph Curry, Kirk Hinrich: not exactly bigger and stronger. Durant? Weak as a little girl, couldn't bench 185 even once coming into the league.
@utfanatic2000 I'll take all those guys over Craig Ehlo, Jeff Hornacek, Danny Ainge, etc. These were the type of wing players who guarded Jordan, LOL. Your logic is weak my friend.
@renzo1200 Yeah, and the type of wing players guarind Kobe are the 6'3" Hinrich, 6'3" Ben Gordon, 6'1" Anthony Carter, JJ redick, Courtney Lee, fatass Jared Dudley, 37 year old Grant Hill--far past his prime, Kyle Korver, Wes Mathews, 6'1" Ronnie Price, Eric Snow. LMAO. Kobe faces more cupcakes than anyone. Weak competition.
@renzo1200 Wrong retard. Michael Cooper was 6'5". Ehlo was 6'6". Ron Harper was 6'6". Hinrich is 6'3", Ben Gordon is 6'3". Montae Ellis is 6'3". There is the same number of white players in the league today as in MJ's era. You sound brainwashed.
@renzo1200 Are you retarded? PPG dropped LONG before 2001 when the illegal defense rules were scrapped. That has to do with PACE of play, not defense. League Drtg this year was 107.6. That means teams gave up 107.6 pts/100 possessions. That is EXACTLY the same as in 1996. In 97 the Drtg was 106.7. 98 it was 105. Educate yourself.
@utfanatic2000 Hmm...i wonder why the # of possessions per game is so much lower now than it was in the 80's. Hahahaha, ever wonder why teams are consistently forcing shots at the end of the shot clock? Maybe defenses have something to do with PACE, hahahaha....go watch basketball midget instead of tossing number around like John Hollinger.
@renzo1200 # of possessions is about pace of play kid, educate yourself. Teams don't force shots at the end of the shot clock now more than they ever did. Defenses aren't better retard, they've actually been getting worse overall for years now. Retard.
@renzo1200 3PT attempts were increasing, once again, before the illegal defense rules were scrapped. But I agree, players take too many 3s today, Kobe included. He has been called out on this many times, including in the finals by the announcers who urged Kobe to "take it to the rack" when his jumper was not falling. In the 4th quarter of game 7, he finally started to do this. Basketball IQ is lower today. Kobe in the 80s could average 30 on 45% shooting. In the 90s 25 ppg on 41-43%.
@renzo1200 According to NBA(dot)com...the avg player as of the 2008 survey was 6'6.98" and 221 lbs. Throughout the entire career of MJ the avg was over 6'7' and the average weight was 219. That all came from NBA(dot)com. People in the NBA are not way taller or bigger, they are actually slightly shorter on average and about the same weight.
@jeditwinz We're not talking about averages, we're talking about wing players defending Jordan specifically. Doesn't prove anything, especially when they used to stockpile 7 footers in the 80's, early 90's which skews your average.
@renzo1200 dude, it was more difficult back then. the defenses were much more physical, like slam you on the ground defense. no flopping back then. it looks easy doesn't it? its cuz jordan made it seem soo easy. that's how good and dominant he was. u better recognize
In those days he took it on his own making him look like a selfish player but do we even know what strategies the coach used. Sure you can depend on a guy leading in field goal % but is there enough team effort when that guy scored more than 50% of the total score? It's probably the lack of innovative strategies and effective players that can make baskets by getting into prime situations often. Makes you wonder what happens on the court when Jordan is switched out to take a rest.
one thing i hate is how everybody talks shit about lebron traveling...Jordan traveled just as much if not more...jordans stutter step were all three steps...most jordans fast break dunks were 3 steps just like lebron...i guess lebron is truly the heir to MJ...not like he needed that to be anyways...he already is..
Jordan has no true heir. His legacy is represented by a number of different players, Lebron being just one of them. As much as I admire Lebron's game, I wonder what his numbers would be had he played in Jordan's era. Even so, he only currently leads Jordan in two statistical categories. One of which is due to his size advantage. Lebron is the best player in the game right now though.
His stupid "crab dribble" is a travel, he's smart enough to be able to do a friggin' fastbreak dunk without traveling though. You probably saw Lebron and MJ using a gather + 1 2 motion which isn't a travel.
well there wasnt much actual shots as i said half of em were dunks and layups...but still impressive when you look at the boxscore...kina misleading but then its not often you get this many dunks and easy layups...and the 1 assist kina makes the performance 1 dimensional...i heard vince carter just got 48 points off of 70% shooting...i bet he took more actual shots then this performance too...either way i enjoy any jordon footage like this...
I think there was a game where bill walton goes for 19/20 when he was in portland. it isnt the exact number. I will try to find it out as I post my comment.
@yoe91 I know right. I love Kobe [even though he shot jacks like he's in a rec league] but how can you watch Jordan and not see the difference? Preposterous!
1 assist eh! just goes to show that no one man is better than the team. Young guys like melo, ellis should be watching this. No matter how rubbish your team mates might be if you are confident in them they will prevail. Luckily Jordan learned this later in life. Bj Armstrong, King, Burrell, think it is a coincidence that they disapeared after they left the bulls!
Exactly. It's selfish to assume that just because you are shooting 83% in a game you should keep taking most of the shots. Jordan should have had confidence in his teammates, who despite not getting to shoot were able to hold Philadelphia under 125 points.
I am not sure if that is sarcasm but they did not win for a reason. There are no rubbish players in the nba just that some are less talented. Even if you are shooting 83% and human (barely) and a guard you will tire at some point. Basketball is a team sport or do you prefer watching full court one and one!
no offence but holding a team to under 125 shouldnt be regarded as even close to a good thing if you let the other team score 125 then the defense is pretty shocking.... and jordan only took 29 shots i mean a lot of nba superstars take about 20 - 22 shots a game anyway and if you only miss 5 times out of the 29 then its safe to say keep shooting in my opinion.... even if he gave the ball up i doubt the rest of his team could make as many as he did in the same number of attempts...
Your comment is utterly worthless... calling me stupid then failing to explain yourself. If you're trying to point something out then just go ahead and say it. I'd love to hear your analysis of my "horrific logic." Are you for some reason offended because you feel the need to defend Kobe? Your next comment should give me a clear picture of where you're coming from, instead of saying absolutely nothing like the last. Anyhow, Kobe played less minutes and took 17 more shots.

One thing people should see on this video..is that MJ walks away from this
game (benched) with the head down. He feels bad,cause his team is losing
by 19 points and 4 minutes to play... HE (MJ) doens't care about stats or high
points....it's all about winning ! At 6:08 he goes to the bench,and you can see
him being sceptical about the situation....and even after such a Great / Unique
performance he STILL thinks about getting better,even if that means a 90%
FG game for him. He is the BEST

I just went to NBA dot com and did a little research. Right now Kobe has played in 1,058 games and scored 26,720 points. MJ played in 1,072 games and scored 32,292 points. At 25 points per game it will take Kobe 223 more games (or 2.7 seasons) to pass MJ in scoring. Or to put it into perspective MJ could come back and play 2.7 more seaons and MISS every shot he takes and he and Kobe would be about equal.
VinmanMJ23 1 year ago
Regular season MJ beats Kobe stat-wise PER GAME in literally everything except 3 pt% and FT% {both round to 84%] AND turned the ball over less
post season MJ PPG is EIGHT FREAKIN POINTS HIGHER
whoever started the comparison never looked at the stats [without going into Shaq VS Wennington, Perdue, Longely and Cartwright etc]
there IS no comparison

when you compare Kobe's 81 and this game, take this into account. Kobe was playing one of the worst defensive teams of all time in Toronto, he had 21 pts from 3, and 18 from the line. MJ had NO pts from 3, and 4 from the line. plus he was benched with 4:30 left, he could've easily scored 60. Last thing, Philly was beating them badly, which means they Philly wasn't a bad team, unlike Toronto

Wowwww, Jordan is one of the greatest of all time but the people he's playing against in this video...really? How can you not score 60 points if you've got a great jumpshot, a high vertical, and a team that lets you shoot whenever you want? Fuck..these centers can't even hold a ball properly and everyone's getting all worked up as if this 'era' was impossible to score in. Fuck outta here. Kobe is the GOAT just because he's got a better killer instinct than Jordan. Jordan's a close 2nd.

@rrrevan Yep the Celtics were the best that year. Who scores 60 or more in the playoffs? In Jordan's case scoring 50 or more in the playoffs was a usual thing. You rarely ever really see any modern Nba Player scoring more than 48 in the playoffs today. The regular season People dont play defense, players might be out with injuries, and some games aren't important. In the playoffs its more competitive and every game counts. In 92' MJ had 35 at the half vs Portand in game 1 in the Finals.

MJ took only 29 shots in this game and only had 4 FT attempts. The level of mastery that Jordan reached was and never never will be reached by Kobe, even in Kobe's greatest performances.

Toss in the fact that players are WAY bigger, stronger, faster, taller and straight up more athletic exposes you as a mental midget. Go watch the '10 Celtics D vs. the 1986 Celtics D.

utfanatic2000 1 year ago
@utfanatic2000 It actually does happen all the time...it's called the zone defense which Jordan never faced. If Permiter players are scoring more, than explain why the average team ouput is down 20 points since the 80's. Since defenses were so much better then, why could teams run up 130 points per game? With no handchecking now, why so many 3's? Jordan was ahead of his time. I'll give him that. But put Kobe in the 80's and he'd drop 40 a game if not more. Heck the guy dropped 81 in a game. LMAO
renzo1200 1 year ago
@renzo1200 Wrong. Zone does not exist today due to 3 seconds in the lane being illegal defensively. "Zone" has always been legal as long as the defensive guidelines were not violated. Men could guard a "zone" all day long as long as they were within a certain distance of their cover. All they needed to do is have one foot outside the lane on that side of the court! lol.
utfanatic2000 1 year ago
@utfanatic2000 "Zone" defenses were played by both the Suns and the Celtics in the playoff this year. You obviously weren't paying attention. The fact that the "Zone" has been always been legal, doesn't necessarily mean it was employed it in the 80's. If you pay attention to the defenses thrown at Jordan, he frequently faced man-to-man. But you obviously don't watch basketball, since you think players in the 80's were physcially stronger, faster and bigger.
renzo1200 1 year ago
@renzo1200 No, the Celtics do not play zone, and the Suns zone was pitiful. LA was just not ready for it. It was the fact that they switched it up that surprised LA. Next game, they were fine. Apparently YOU weren't paying attention. As Bruce Bowen said, championship teams don't play zone. It is a weak defense. I've watched basketball for decades kid, and played for as long. Educate yourself.

@renzo1200 Are you retarded? PPG dropped LONG before 2001 when the illegal defense rules were scrapped. That has to do with PACE of play, not defense. League Drtg this year was 107.6.

utfanatic2000 1 year ago
@renzo1200 3PT attempts were increasing, once again, before the illegal defense rules were scrapped. But I agree, players take too many 3s today, Kobe included. He has been called out on this many times, including in the finals by the announcers who urged Kobe to "take it to the rack" when his jumper was not falling. In the 4th quarter of game 7, he finally started to do this. Basketball IQ is lower today. Kobe in the 80s could average 30 on 45% shooting. In the 90s 25 ppg on 41-43%.
utfanatic2000 1 year ago
@renzo1200 According to NBA(dot)com...the avg player as of the 2008 survey was 6'6.98" and 221 lbs. Throughout the entire career of MJ the avg was over 6'7' and the average weight was 219. That all came from NBA(dot)com. People in the NBA are not way taller or bigger, they are actually slightly shorter on average and about the same weight.

In those days he took it on his own making him look like a selfish player but do we even know what strategies the coach used. Sure you can depend on a guy leading in field goal % but is there enough team effort when that guy scored more than 50% of the total score? It's probably the lack of innovative strategies and effective players that can make baskets by getting into prime situations often. Makes you wonder what happens on the court when Jordan is switched out to take a rest.

Jordan has no true heir. His legacy is represented by a number of different players, Lebron being just one of them. As much as I admire Lebron's game, I wonder what his numbers would be had he played in Jordan's era. Even so, he only currently leads Jordan in two statistical categories. One of which is due to his size advantage. Lebron is the best player in the game right now though.

Bj Armstrong, King, Burrell, think it is a coincidence that they disapeared after they left the bulls!
Klinickal 2 years ago
Exactly. It's selfish to assume that just because you are shooting 83% in a game you should keep taking most of the shots. Jordan should have had confidence in his teammates, who despite not getting to shoot were able to hold Philadelphia under 125 points.
wmc125 2 years ago
I am not sure if that is sarcasm but they did not win for a reason. There are no rubbish players in the nba just that some are less talented. Even if you are shooting 83% and human (barely) and a guard you will tire at some point. Basketball is a team sport or do you prefer watching full court one and one!
Klinickal 2 years ago
no offence but holding a team to under 125 shouldnt be regarded as even close to a good thing if you let the other team score 125 then the defense is pretty shocking.... and jordan only took 29 shots i mean a lot of nba superstars take about 20 - 22 shots a game anyway and if you only miss 5 times out of the 29 then its safe to say keep shooting in my opinion.... even if he gave the ball up i doubt the rest of his team could make as many as he did in the same number of attempts...
