Michael Jordan vs Knicks 90` - 49 pts ( 2 DAYS after career high 69 pts )

After he scorched the Cavs for career-high 69 points,
MJ comes up with another huge game against Knicks only two days later.
49 points along with 12 rebounds and two huge defensive plays
down the stretch were " just " enough to earn him a Miller lite player of the game award.

you are right it is not even in the same league.

if you look at the shot selection of kobe and jordan you see big difference there. jordan always takes open jump shots while kobe will always put up in your face shots, it is one of the many reasons why jordan has higher fg%. that also implies jordan knows how to get open a lot better, either with the ball or without.

mj foot works is also a lot of practical than kobe, on top of that, mj fadeaway shot seems to be a lot more accurate than kobe's.

I agree...MJ was the fastest player over 6'4 in league history....

@xxwhatevahxx Yeah baby, documented. MJ ran 4.3s 40 in his sleep after his freshman year. Ran against Deon Sanders in 1990. world-class speed at that time. young folks are stiffs, dont know history.

am i the only one who saw ewings dunk at 37 seconds?

[spitnificent]

@xxwhatevahxx...MJ was also documented at running the 40 from his freshman year of college to sophomore year from a 4.6 to a 4.3 and having a 48" vert in his prime.

[xxwhatevahxx]

@spitnificent fastest ever over 6'4?

quickest.... arguably.....

fastest.... no.. that belongs to the 4.3 second 40 yard dash sprinting freak Lebron James....

my favorite part of this vid is the total lack of surprise and/or emotion given to us by the announcers...."49 points, 12 rebounds" is glossed over as just another MJ night. today, whenever someone like LBJ or KOBE puts up these numbers we are ready to annoint them "better than MJ"

folks, it's really not close

Jordan was as mentally and athleticly gifted as Trent Tucker is UGLY. No wonder he was UNSTOPPA-BULL... Meanwhile, Stu Jackson looks like a member of Shalamar!

@worldlfree Gichrists plays is little resemblance to Jordan. great prospect and a competitior. could be a lottery pick but his body movements, skill set looks nothing like Jordan. still a little stiff on some of his movements where jordan was fluid from carolina to his last shot against utah in 98.

@laepnud It's more like Jordan has more moves to go to which makes it easier for him to get the shot he wants. If you really look at Kobe's game, he has about 4 moves max that he goes to but usually he makes up his mind about shooting instead of reacting instinctively to what the defense and defender is doing. His teammates saved his ass in Game 7 of the past finals. He actually hurt his legacy with that performance.

@spitnificent fastest player under 6'4'' too. especially in 1984.

[laepnud]

@popeyeisgood As Phil has repeated multiple times, shot selection is Kobe's biggest weakness. He has the skills to match or even exceed Jordan no doubt but his decision making is what's holding him back. Jordan rarely FORCES plays, he honestly takes what the defense gives him.
