MICHAEL JORDAN 1997 PLAYOFFS HIGHLIGHTS: The Assassin (black socks era)

@ 34 years old MJ displays the highest form of basketball skills you will ever see. Past his physical prime but at his peak in terms of basketball smarts this is the equilibrium between his athleticism and basketball skills personified.

His face up and turn around fade aways were just a thing of beauty, nothing does it better. His stroke was smooth and can stop and shoot in a dime (probably the quickest pull up from 1 to 2 dribbles) it was pure perfection.

His advance footwork was just amazing faster than any other players i've seen, he has high and low post game to boot, catch and shoot and he moves without a ball with a purpose no waste of energy.

with those air jordan playoffs on his feet... it's amazing to see the master at work.

@ purpleheiress30 are you stupid scottie got to the finals while jordan was playing baseball and in game 7 hot fucked over by the refs

@nellek970 @nellek970 no he didn't. they lost to the knicks in the ECF. btw they still got the core group that won the previous year plus tony kokoc... that team ain't no slouch.

The year Jordan went back the bulls was struggling to get a .500 season, they only finished the season at 47-35 (MJ only played 17 games before the playoffs). MJ lead them to a 9-1 record in april which help them placed 3rd in the EC playoffs rankings.

WITHOUT PIPPEN JORDAN WOULDNT WIN SHIT

[mikedamz]

@xxCHOCHANEGRAxx i'm pretty sure he would... but probably not 6. if he had shaq he'd probably won every year though.

Jordan's midrange game will never be matched



[xxCHOCHANEGRAxx]

@xxCHOCHANEGRAxx what was the purpose of that comment other than sounding stupid?

[gravemins2]

Jordan the greatest guard ever to set up in the paint, his turn around jumper is a thing of God's and his mid range jumper set the standard for young guns like Kopy Bryant, whoops I mean Kobe Bryant! Sorry type o

@xxCHOCHANEGRAxx Your a Moronsky...Pippen was a quitter back in the early days of the Bulls run before their first championship. Pippen would quit on the bench with Migraine headaches because he didn't want to go back in the game against the Pistons! Jordan forged Pippen to be as great as he was! Jordan didn't need Pippen because half the time he took the shots himself. Let me give you a stat Jordan 48 points 11 assist, 10 steals and 9 rebounds. Jordan coud do it all and he did!

@nellek970 Eastern Conference Semi-Finals that is.

[Amir883]

@nellek970 The irony of calling someone stupid then completely flubbing the 1994 playoffs. Scottie and the '94 Bulls made it to the ECF, not the FINALS. Just ridiculous.
