The dominance is unreal even watching the highlights you can tell he’s the ultimate measuring stick. Unfortunately I was only two years old up here in Toronto but I can see why he’s the greatest of all time eye test wise
@@plainman9887 what are you talking about? Do you even know what the super team is? Chicago Bulls wasn’t the super team in the 90s was just well coached in Michael Jordan was a good leader in 1998 and 1997. Michael Jordan was the All-Star on the bulls Los Angeles Lakers in 1998 1997 was a super team in 1998. They have four All-Stars and Kobe Bryant was coming off the bench averaging 18 1/2 and didn’t even make it to the NBA finals
"Jordan scoring over half of their points and when they let others try and score it didn't go too well" Heard that a lot while watching Bulls during MJ's career. He didn't have as much help as most think.
Basketball is a team not a single game When you play championship alone you are and idiot person Basketball is an entertainment you cannot played alone It's required to play a team ..don't be a moron
Of course Jordan’s game changed some after he returned from retirement, being over 30 years old. No high flying guard plays that way forever. Going to the basket all the time is a recipe for the Jordan rules, and potential injury. So I don’t think George Karl was wrong, it was just foolish to step on Superman’s cape
With an era that hand checking was legal. He literally is a player/coach that can manipulate the field with his ego. Other than kobe, How can people still say anyone of todays game is anywhere close to his level? It just mind blowing to me.
LOL after all these years, I just realized that this Sonics team had three guys that MJ used to always torch--Hersey Hawkins, Craig Ehlo and David Wingate.
Could you explain the context? I understand that this is after the 1996 finals, where George Karl did not greet Michael in a restaurant and used that as something personal in the finals... What I don't understand is what George Karl later said to make him take this game personally in 1997.
Karl made a statement that Jordan only do jump shots to stop getting hit by other players and scare to go to the basket. Jordan show up doing his jump shots in Karl face. Torch the sonic team
it says revenge and no disrespect forty five points is still HIGHLY elite but this WASN'T a playoff game and if you ask me these eight playoff teams are ranked in this order #1 1996 bulls #2 1997 bulls #3 1997 jazz #4 1996 sonics #5 1997 rockets #6 1997 heat #7 1996 jazz and #8 1996 magic and if you ask me these three legends are ranked in this order #1 michael jordan #2 hakeem olajuwon and #3 shaquille o'neal
Whoever watches MJ and then Lebalco..... Jesus... Not even close... Not in a million years... MJ is the one! I don't eat stupidity !!!!! From no one!!!!
Always looking for ways to hate. Dude was practically grieving since Game 6 was on Fathers Day and the first without his dad. Dude won MVP, ASG MVP, Scoring Title, First Team All Defense and Finals MVP. Respect his greatness
@@kennethpowell2079 Awwh but when he was torching David Wingate and Vincent Askew it was cool but when he plays bad now it's about sympathy knock it off bro players have played through just as bad situations stop making excuses
@@keithmitchell8372 Yeah after they were up 3-0 they took foot of the gas plus as MJ said they wanted to win one in Chicago on there home court for there fans they basically mailed in game 4 and 5 in Seattle If the Bulls choked and lost w him playing bad in games 4-7 then he would have been crushed but they won

So glad I was actually able to see Mike play in person, so glad I grew up in that generation, which was the toughest generation of the game thus far.
You’re lucky asf
Wish I did. Was too young and didn’t have anyone to go with.
No carries. No travels. No one falling to the ground everytime they jump. When basketball was basketball.
Anyone else miss these days? 😢 god dang when the nba in nbc music hit nostalgia 😢 ❤ so long ago but seems like yesterday

It's easy to "dominate" when you're playing on the only superteam in the 90s plus a HOF coaching staff.
@@plainman9887smh. Jordan dominated when he was on garbage teams and great teams. There was never a time when he didn’t.
@@plainman9887 what are you talking about? Do you even know what the super team is?

@@plainman9887MJ won in 1991 and 1998 with ZERO All stars and the other 4 titles was only Pippen need at least 3 all stars to be a super team
@davis2k1234 lippen was a all star. Without pippen no rings.
Jordan was making Peyton look like a average defensive player.
Remember when on the last dance documentary, Gary said the series changed when he guarded MJ. 😂
Watch the film and don't listen to the lies hahaha
"I have no problem with the Glove."
He's not even mittens next to MJ.
"Jordan scoring over half of their points and when they let others try and score it didn't go too well" Heard that a lot while watching Bulls during MJ's career. He didn't have as much help as most think.
You could see the regret in George Karl's eyes with every bucket.
AND they held the Sonics to how many points?!
Man!!! MJ COOKED Seattle and made George Karl eat his words. 😅
His level was topnotch. So clean, so swift and so deadly.
More venom than a sea snake.
Basketball is a team not a single game
When you play championship alone you are and idiot person
Basketball is an entertainment you cannot played alone
It's required to play a team ..don't be a moron
No traveling and no flopping. Also, MJ was a man amongst boys
You are watching a master at work.

Aw the good old days never thought the nba would be a unwatchable now.
Unwatchable 😂? Maybe your cable bill is past due. That will help you watch it.
I mean how good can a basketball player be. This is poetry in motion. He is cold!!!
Lmao 40-5 is crazy
41-5 they won
STRAIGHT DOMINANCE... WE'VE NEVER SEEN A BETTER TWO YEAR STRETCH FROM A CHAMPIONSHIP 🏆 TEAM... 141-23 FROM 1995-97... AND THEY FINISHED THE JOB...
They should've had back to back 70 win seasons but they tailed off at the end of the 1997 season to finish at 69-13.
" The glove? I had no problem, with the glove" welp
Without Dennis Rodman too...which put the Bulls next level.
MJ was so fun to watch. Not forcing things. Just gets to his spot and rises up. 🐐
MJ's eternal saying" "never poke the Kodiak bear" or Godzilla's first cousin.
Or Black Jesus.
Jordan was an apex competitor who took any slight or disrespect and turned into motivation and it showed in this performance.
Jordan and Pipken were pissed that Payton won defensive player of the year deal.
That look on George Karl's face at 3:48 mark is that of ' I need someone like Jordan on my team..So sick of this shit ' lol
With an era that hand checking was legal. He literally is a player/coach that can manipulate the field with his ego. Other than kobe, How can people still say anyone of todays game is anywhere close to his level? It just mind blowing to me.
My guy posted up all game and just put on an absolute masterpiece of footwork and bully ball
I got to see the Seattle Supersonic games in person in the late 90s. It was so much fun.
Off Topic, I just noticed in the 88-89 season, MJ played Birds Celtics 3x and avgd 44PPG/7RPG/6APG/7SPG shooting 60%FG and 91%FT 🤯
I thought GP was wearing Mike out 🤔….. because man I couldn’t. Tell 😂😂😂
Jordan putting the sonics down the trash in the 96 NBA Finals and this game.
LOL after all these years, I just realized that this Sonics team had three guys that MJ used to always torch--Hersey Hawkins, Craig Ehlo and David Wingate.
The aggressive defense, I miss those days.
MJ - the GOAT of all GOATs.
The split screen at 9:55. George Karl thinking "Why the heck did I question Michael Jordan's play 9:55?"
The GOAT "Anything else?"
Jordan played all 82, no load managing like LeBalco.
You know that locker room tension with George Karl was very thick 😂
so smooth
Payton and Shawn kemp lol😂😂😂
Can you imagine calling yourself 'king' and telling the world you're better than this Jordan guy? 😂
MJ : “Craig, I remember You.”💀😆
Ehlo Cavs and Ehlo Sonics is still the same to MJ🏀😜🔥
Maaaan, ain't nobody better than MJ.
NBA on NBC🤑🏀🔥
2:55 "I'm taking what they give me" gets a pass with a wide open lane to the hoop and just catches and shoots from 18feet...
Could you explain the context?

Jordan got into George Karl’s head
No brother likes George Karl 🤔 wasted a lot of talent cause his ego no hof coach
it says revenge and no disrespect forty five points is still HIGHLY elite but this WASN'T a playoff game and if you ask me these eight playoff teams are ranked in this order #1 1996 bulls #2 1997 bulls #3 1997 jazz #4 1996 sonics #5 1997 rockets #6 1997 heat #7 1996 jazz and #8 1996 magic and if you ask me these three legends are ranked in this order #1 michael jordan #2 hakeem olajuwon and #3 shaquille o'neal
No guy like Karl wasted a lot of talent
Whoever watches MJ and then Lebalco..... Jesus... Not even close...
Not in a million years...
MJ is the one!
I don't eat stupidity !!!!! From no one!!!!
DISRESPECTING JORDAN ALWAYS 3NDED WITH MICHEAL SHOWING WHO WAS THE BOSS ON THE. COURT, ,IT JUST MADE HIM PLAY HARDER
Haha, George Karl has learned NOTHING from the 1996 Finals... 😅😅😅
Crazy.
that was easy for Jordan. cooked them so bad the whole basketball team gave up.
Fed midrage shots hahah
Mike always praised his teammates and they hate him.. make it make sense lol
Sure...there's what is said publicly and then there's what happens when the cameras are off
I Love #Mike🥰
I'm super happy to share the same birthday as Michael Jordan and almost the same age as him. Hello from the Vancouver island of Canada 🇨🇦
Was he run floating 😳 🤣 😂 🤔
🔥🔥🔥
And he gave u a Stephen Curry like three
It would be fun at least, to see LeBron James, at that time, then you would understand, why he will never be a tenth, than Jordan, it was.
Ummm I remember them as the SUPERSONICS, WTF?
The narrative Payton didn't guard MJ until game 4 lmao so not true
Payton looks like amateur here
Cuc Dongley
Horrible coach. According to everyone. And damn when do you think to double team Michael Fucking Jordan?!?
And in the 4th quarter of games 4 5 6 Jordan shot 16 percent but they won't talk about that 😅😅😅😅😅😅
It was talked about
@@d25615 No it wasn't sportcenter never talks about it they protect Jordan legacy at all costs
