Michael Jordan 1989 Playoffs: Gm 3 Vs. Pistons, 46 pts

MJ attacked the Pistons' 'Bad Boys Jordan Rules' defense with an attacking game in Game 3. This was the most dramatic game of the series which went to 6 games with the Pistons winning and going on to become the Champs. This Pistons team, perhaps the greatest defensive team ever, was the last hump MJ had to face before becoming a champion. The game-winner in this game for MJ was one of his best.

What pisses me off more than ever is the comparison of michael jordan to other players like Kobe and Lebron. Jordan is the greatest of all time last I checked Kobe's numbers are not even near jordan's. 5 MVP's 6 Finals MVP's, 3 All-Star MVP's 10 scoring titles, 6 NBA Championships. The Best Kobe can be is at least half as great as Jordan. So stop with the comparisions MJ is MJ and Kobe is Kobe end of story.

I couldn't even write what I wanted to originally write in the space of this video... but basically, this man is just a miracle. ...A master.

Only needed reason that Michael is the best ever: He was double (sometimes triple) teamed throughout his whole career in a more physical league, and still dominated. LeBron, Kobe, and D-Wade will never be able to do that.

@smoothALOE I"m a laker fan to the core but ultimately, I agree with you...Detroit deserved the 1989 outright

This was the best Pistons team of all time in my opinion. They had two All-NBA Defense first-teamers, they won 31 of their final 37 regular season games and they swept a Lakers team that had not only defeated the Western Conference three straight years, but had also gone 11-0 through the first three rounds of the playoffs. Naturally, I don't think it would've happened if Scott and Magic had been healthy, but the Pistons would've still beaten them in 6. Just my opinion.

@essycee04 Kobe quit when team get physical with ? He didn't quit with tough Celtic in 2010, He didnt quit against the Nuggets in 08, 09. He didn't quit with Houston in 09, He didn't quit with Portland, Spurs , Kings in 00-02. He didn't quit when his team rely on him to take the game winning shot time after time. How is Kobe a quitter ? Jordan is great but to say Kobe is a quitter is asinine

@jasondh22 Yet he's the closest thing we've seen to MJ
