Michael Jordan 45 points vs Utah Jazz NBA Finals 1998 Game 6

[ChuckTay23]

Oh shut up he said he pushed no one really cares anyway lol

[mfastx]

OK I just re-watched this game (I have it on DVD) and Michael Jordan DID NOT push off on that last play. Yes, his hand was on the defender but he DID NOT push off, there is no way if you actually watch it (and understand physics) you'll see that his hand did not follow through, and that the only reason the defender fell is because he slipped and got crossed. If Jazz fans are going to complain about something, then complain about the missed shot clock violations earlier in the game.

[VicRattlehead72]

@mfastx nobody think its a push off other than haters... the guy who got pushed and his teammate didnt even bother to complain cause only in replay haters will always claim there's a push

[mxdrock821]

Jordan > Lebron

[lan79ful]

HE PUT UP 45 IN GAME SIX HOW MUCH DID PIPPEN HAVE YOU LITTLE HATER TALKIN ABOUT LEBRON JAMES IS THE BEST EVER

[PENS68]

the NBA died the day Michael Jordan left

[lirongzheng2002]

@PENS68 I stopped watching nba after jordan left

[energytic]

why i dont hear marv albert here? isnt hes the one of the commentator here?

[frankmartinisadouche]

@energytic He was there in 97.

[SpidaManOnDrugs]

u act like jordan never had a bad finals game. go back n look at the seattle series

[nuzzinaples23]

Fans, media members, and whoever else don't have to bash other great players to drive home the fact how good MJ was. Kobe...is great. Lebron...great. The legends that came before MJ were great. W/o bashing the others, we can all agree that Michael stands alone, and will continue to.

[deadpunisher5]

@ kishbar yup i heard.. micheal your fuckin unbelievable lol...

[MRBADASS46]

There is nothing fucking wrong with being extremely cocky. STFU dumbass' Look where Kobe is now

[PsychoAlfaSchizo]

Michael Jordan. The reason the Jazz havent won a championship.

Shit. What do you do?

GO JAZZ

[tjprodocutions]

Face the facts, there is no way Lebron or Kobe will ever top MJ. MJ = Greatest of all Time!!

[yepyepok]

@sportsfan2347 Dumbass...

Lol that is sure as hell irrelevant. Even if LeBrick James wins ths year....it's 4-1 Kobe still in rings. But even that is not feasible because LeBrick won't pull it off.

[yepyepok]

I hope LeBron is married or engaged or whatever....because it is the only ring he will ever get.

[sportsfan2347]

Haha Im gonna need to remember this to completely make fun of you when the cavs win the finals this year

[doudoub2005]

russell never said it was a push

[HeadlessEye]

LOL, Zeke was all too quick to point out that Jordan pushed Russell on the replay.

[lilprincealex]

hi pushed him lol nd u cant say im bein bias case i like da lakers lol

[thebingaman]

It takes a team to win a championship. As long as that team consists of Michael Jorda circa 1990's.

That was beyond any doubt HIS championship.

[GMBlegend]

STEVE KERR: "fuckin unbelievable"

[claudine69retoke]

Yep, 6 time finals MVP for Michael. Kobe none yet. I think Kobe will win it this year. But really man, MJ is the greatest.

[ab221983]

I saw him!!!!

Thanks MJ!!!

The BEST

[KI77C]

Michael Jordan is damn smooth when he use hoop i watched diss nigga when i was high i was like damn dat nigga is raw lmao

[Js4life22]

could ANYONE be fuckin beastlier than him?!

[d4nny4]

lol michael "pushes" russell off. but then again its just his airness' aura that repels russell.

[nuriy]

like isaiah said, "jordan has all the tricks, thats why its so difficult to guard him"

[frankmartinisadouche]

It has more to do with his unbelievable skill.

[maquino220]

I love this video. My fave of all time.....

To all the kobe fans that think he's even on the same planet as MJ, you're all on crack

MJ- the best to ever play the game!!!

[ballin0858]

I totally agree with you! Kobe gets the no hand-check rule, too, while Jordan had to play through people pushing him. Also, MJ's a team player and knows how to be a leader, where as Kobe is selfish and cocky. Michael Jordan all the way!

[LakersDynasty42]

Kobe for the most part is a team player now but sometimes he can get caught up in his "let me get mine" mode.

[CantineBoy94]

So Mike wasnt cocky? haha when your as good as MJ and Kobe, its ok to be cocky.

[ballin0858]

I can't think of another basketball player who ever was/is as cocky as Kobe. Actually, Lebron's gotten pretty bad. But yeah, of course Jordan was a bit, but Kobe takes "cocky" to a new level haha

[zodiiak]

Damn, I miss Mike.  How great was it to watch Jordan in the playoffs? He just tore everyone's heart and he did it so efficiently. GOAT.

[9664963]

yo mj said let me just fuck u up and hit this jumper in ur face and that nba championship

[philliyfanbo]

at 5:28 wen hes hugging steve kerr some1 says 2 him "u were fucking unbelievable!" i guess the sensor system didnt catch that

[T0mmyPL]

i think it was steve kerr :D

[bxchris101]

lmfaoo 3:44 crossed and j'd

[bxchris101]

with the black and red 14z on =D first time ever worn (prototype)

[gangsta28ny]

Kobe And LeBron Mainly Kobe Is THe Best Players in The NBA But They Are Not The Best My Homie MJ!!!

[naw105]

jordan is the best basketball player in the history of basketball chitown stand up!

[uberathlete]

Anyone who compares Kobe to MJ, especially after Kobe's choke jobs in the finals, is a moron.

[GaToRGaL1224]

no one isn't saying kobe isn't good he just isn't as good as michael, just imagine if jordan played with a center that was half as dominate as shaq was and speaking of shaq how many rings has kobe won without him? michael had cartwright and luc longley

[maquino220]

"that may have been the last shot michael jordan will ever take in the NBA"

THAT KILLS ME....i toss and turn every night because of it!

[rogerd2x]

kobe never aske to be compared to jordan. you all compared him and no hes not jordan and will never be the next jordan because no one can be that great.. but he is the next best thing.. and u people need to realize that.. yea he does whine alot but so did jordan. and jordan complained about his team too and he even punched steve kur in the eye at practice. i might be one of the biggest jordan fans ever but im also a kobe fan and the kids got game too.. so admit it people kobe is good.

[maquino220]

yup....GOOD not great!!! Good but not jordan!!

so leave it at that!!!

[supermanbatmanrodman]

I've still got every game of 1997 and 1998 finals on tape.

BEST TEAM OF ALL TIME

AND GREAT TO WATCH !

MJ, PIP, RODMAN : AWESOME

[SwaggaMan41510]

OH AND BY THE WAY....

Kobe career PPG 25.0, playoff career PPG 24.3

Now Michael Jordan??

MJ career PPG 30.1, playoff career PPG 33.4

Over Michael Jordan's career, he has proved to have another GEAR... Nobody compares, not even his seemingly closest comparison... NOT EVEN CLOSE...

[SwaggaMan41510]

Kobe - Scoring ability (9/10), Defensive ability (8/10), Team Catalysm (6/10), Clutch (6/10), Career Impact (8/10)

Now...

Jordan - Scoring ability (10/10) because what Kobe hasn't done and won't do is average 37+ ppg and follow it up with 35+ ppg in consecutive seasons- Jordan did... Defensive ability (10/10) well, you seen the play he made on Karl Malone before "the shot", right? It wasn't a one off either, Team catalysm (10/10), Clutch (10/10), Career Impact (PRICELESS)

Anyone disagree?

[One7823]

I mean Kobe complained about the team he had before they got Gasol for next to nothing instead of leading his team to be better he complained and dogged them a la Andrew Bynum,and he demanded to be traded look at what MJ had in 92-93: Armstrong,MJ,Pippen,Grant,Cart­wright,Kobe had just as good a team as MJ ever had the difference was MJ was on another level,he was better,he was greater that's why MJ is the greatest to ever play the game.Holla at cha boy!

[One7823]

For those of you who weren't fortunate to watch the greatest basketball player of all time savour these clips because there will never be another player like him,Kobe will never be as great as MJ,Kobe is the best player in the league/world right now but his ability to lead a team like MJ is highly questionable

[dwirkkal]

The problem lies in that people want to claim the next big thing to the next jordan. There will never be another jordan. Get over it people, Jordan has been long gone and forgotton.  The only thing that people have now to savor are old youtube clips....

[garfieldUSA]

Jordan as been forgotten? WELL , WE (INCLUDING YOU) ARE STILL TALKING ABOUT JORDAN! jordan is a retired legend, and ppl still talking about him , Tiger Woods is the MJ in golf, Beckham is the MJ in soccer , u know what i mean? everytime u mention MR. NBA that's Jordan, when asked who is the greatest NBA player , that's Jordan! Jordan Forever!

[jaguarkurd]

Kobe? not in a million years he will be like mike.. he's too selfish and whinny

[MRBADASS46]

@jaguarkurd hahahaha how about in a few years he will be like mike really soon. He is like mike.NOTHING WRONG WITH HIM BEING TOO EXTREMELY SELFISH!!! but he is whiney

[1Eu4ic]

@jaguarkurd And, Kobe choked under the pressure of Game 7. Jordan shined in those situations. 2010 playoffs were proof that Kobe is a great player sure, but not the transcendent competitor that Mike was.

[senjahcore]

@jaguarkurd 2 Championships later how do you feel? (I, personally, rank Jordan ahead of Kobe, but Kobe has, you have to admit, shown that he's the 2nd best SG ever and top-10 player all time)

[MrYoyoma33]

@jaguarkurd WTF is a whinny

[twalk2008]

This is what Kobe should have done, TOOK OVER THE GAME. that's why Jordan is the best player EVER. no-doubt.

[garfieldUSA]

Kobe is just a superstar , who wants to play for himself to prove that he is the one, unlike MJ, he played for his team that's why everybody wanna-be-like-MIKE!

[frusionnn]

FU** YEAH I AGREE!!

[fistfulofsteel]

I agree with Costas being great even with his arrogant attitude at times, too bad the NBA is on ABC because it blows compared to NBC

[brooklynking336]

bob costas was a mad good commentator, they should bring him back, JORDAN IS THE GREATEST EVER, BORN IN BROOKLYN NY

[Tranquell]

Bryan russells slips, yeah right.

[skillz1ner]
