I am watching basketball 20 years... I watched Michael and I watched Kobe on TV all this years... I'm opsessed with basketball... AND I CAN SAY ONLY THIS: MICHAEL IS THE BEST OF ALL TIME... Kobe is excellent and he will be for sure among top 5 best players of all time, but MICHAEL... man... he was from another planet :)
@dalampiras kobe can still score over 40 at will...charles barkley ate his comments...in the playoffs...who says kobe can't score 40 anymore...can't for kobe or jordan is a bold thing to say...and very ignorant...don't throw the word can't around like that...you can't...kobe can..
@jonnyrisas Lol Kobe fan,here you haven't read my comment well i never used the word "can't"I know Kobe can will him self like the playoffs to score 30 or 40 plus to win the game but the difference here is more than obvious.If you are trying to prove that Kobe is better than Mike then you are an idiot.
@dalampiras im not trying to prove anything....im just trying to stop the hate....people make the comparisons...and start the arguments....it's all bullshit..on every MJ video i see...everyone is anti-kobe...im from L.A and i know kobe is along with jordan the best all around player the game has ever seen...there is no rivalry....kobe can score...as many as he wants...81 my friend..81...and many more incredible high scoring games...the best perimeter basketball player i've ever seen since MJ...
@jonnyrisas So that's what i'm saying stop the comparisons MJ>Kobe for ever.But Kobe is the closest ever to MJ plus he is the only reason i watch NBA nowadays i hate nobody i'm a huge Kobe fan.
@energytic are you sure about that?? he does not need to....cuz he plays with a great team..
but to stay he can't, did he tell you that personally? cuz i don't see how you could know....and i know what his answer would be...i mean, his jumper and footwork is better than ever...i don't see why not
@jonnyrisas he doesnt need to tell me cuz he knows he cant. are you sure his jumper is better than ever? 46%FG? are you mentally challenged or what????
@energytic i watched the game agaisnt the celtics and then the knicks a couple nights back....and yes he has perfected these things...but he plays a different game today....i can tell...and it works better,,,not so many highlights but they win championships.....im not mentally challenge,,, im just not a hater
I like how MJ does this simplest dunk and the announcers go crazy. OMG MICHAEL JORDAN WITH THE INCREDIBLE PLAY WHAT HANG TIME INCREDIBLY BODY MOTION AMAZING PENIS GIRTH
MJ was so great even at 96-98.No competition..he seemed to be wiser saving energy but when it was needed,he would put his superman suite again and fly to the basket to open the defence
@actoman1 Kobe Bryant isnt even better than Magic so how is he better than JOrdan. Magic will always be the Man when it comes to the Lakers no disrespect to Kobe. ..Peace
I like Al Michaels for his commentary I like Mike Breen's Bang@!!!!!!! and Bob Costas calling the NBA finals was epic.....But Harlan makes the game crunk
@miteyboosh23 Stop with all the hate bullshit.....kobe isn't trying to be or do like anybody...he learned from the best in MJ,.gathered what he could from MJ's game....and thats why he is the best in the game today....i don't wanna hear about no lebron james or KD...kobe is the closest thing to MJ...stop hating...please!
fukkin haterz yall live 2 hate kevin harlan iz one if not the best commentator d0ing his thing who else has catch phrases 4 basketball damn dont listen if u a hater turn ur volume on zer0 cuz minez g0nna be turned up
he actually makes the game less watchable. the way he talks doesnt give me more info on what i dont see in the tv. and i much rather have the old emotionless commentators speaking like a machine than this overreacting freak.
just gotta love that commentator... love the passion for the game! but MJ will do that to ya! he is the greatest of all time and the best sports person ever...! Ireland.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
laugh my ass off u got to be one of the most dumbest stupidest person to say that i mean Kevin Harlan is one of the most dramatic commentators of all time"RIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES"
I think Kevin Harlan is the best announcer in the game. Definitely my favorite when he gets excited. A young KG and a young Marbury together was a pretty awesome combo. Til Steph left and became a cancer everywhere he went. Had he stayed they might've been unbelievable.
LOL! Kevin Harlan used to be nuts back in the day. Losing it over the most routine plays. He's really toned it down it since getting paired with Doug Collins 3 years ago.
I think Kevin Harlan wants to go on a romantic date with Michael Jordan. I'm talking fine wine, authentic Italian dinner by candlelight. Maybe some Barry White in the background.
As highlighted by the commentator on this video, MJ played that entire year with a torn ligament/cracked knuckle bone on his index finger..on his SHOOTING hand! He shot 46% that year & that was a "DOWN" year for him LOL!!
Yeah, it took Jordan about 15-20 games to adjust to the injury on his shooting hand. He shot something like 41-42% from the field and 69% from the line (for a career 51% FG/84% FT shooter, so you know something was wrong). After he adjusted his form/technique after that initial 15-20 games, I think he shot around 48% FG and 85% FT.
Back when KG was thought to be the '7 foot MJ' and Marbury was 'Starbury'. I love that reverse at 6:00 since MJ doesn't even use the glass. I remember around this time, Marbury was interviewed in Slam Magazine and his quote on MJ: "I knew what MJ was about before playing him but MAN, how can one person have that much game? I mean, I know I got game, I know I got game but man, to see him play is just incredible."
the jordan xiii black toe is being re-released along with the jordan x in january 08 as a package.310 bones is alot but after watching this...i have to get those shoes man.
Thanks for the regular uploads mlynch, especially as it seems you have a lot of rarely seen games. I agree with you, btw...I love watching the 1984-1993 MJ just for the wow factor, but in many ways, I appreciate the 1996-1998 MJ even more. His evolution as a player is definitely one of the most compelling things about his career.
Thanks guys. Even though MJ was more aerial and spectacular in the first phase of his career (84-93), I really enjoy watching him play in 96-98 where he demonstrates a complete mastery of the game. He's so much calmer and wiser, and scoring seems to come to him almost easier since he doesn't try to force anything at all. He just takes what the defense gives him, and it looks so effortless.
thanks mlynch for another great game. I especially love 1998 games from michael. he was definitely at the top of his game. Not forcing anything, doing exactly what he needed to do in order for the team to win.Plus, what a vertical for a 35 year old player , just simply impressive.
LOL, Kevin Harlan sure has calmed down over the years.
MJ was such a master in the post. Undoubtebly the greatest post-up guard of ALL TIME. Phil even called him the great post up player of his generation. Hmmm...I'd say he's 2nd behind Hakeem.
