An epic duel between Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson, both were leading the team trying to win this game. Magic maybe not known for his jumpshot but in this game he was on fire, hitting all kinds of crazy shots, scored 31pts and handovered 12ast! Michael on the other hand, just being his usual self, doing all sorts of things in the court, had 42pts, 7reb, 8ast and 4stl! A pretty all round game for him.

Jordan loved games like this. So did Magic. The whole country watched these TNT games and both MJs rarely disappointed.
I didn’t have Cable !! Unless I was at someone else’s Crib!! 🤦🏿♂️ That was the realty for lot of us back in those days !!
People forget just how good of a scorer Magic Johnson was too. He wasn't just a phenomenal passer. He could score!
tru dat!
true
Who forgot?

Oh yeah
Magic Johnson my favourite player of ever, legend.
They both MJ 23 and 32 are just backwards. Both the greatest basketball players ever. 6’6 and 6’9 think about that 9 flipped. One of them is an alternate from a different universe
Hmmm
more like 6"4" and 6'7" in reality; NBA heights are exaggerated...
@@Ryenobal Thank you. I've been saying this for the longest time
@Jesus Shuttlesworth no. Magic is 6'7' and 3/4 without shoes. Bird was a legit 6'9'
Initials M/13 J/10 = 23
And also Michael Jackson
Young MJ is the quickest guy I've ever seen on a basketball court. Look at his jab steps from 2:08 on. Absolutely insane. GOAT
Magic best passer of all time by a mile
Pistol Pete?
Magic Johnson is the king ❤
All day everyday
The Real
Phenom
I would sacrifice almost anything to be at one of those games just to see both MJs play
As I see thru the details, I realised how MJ respected Magic J on one-on-one.

I think deep down, if MJ was asked his biggest rival (even though different positions, different conferences, Earvin coming in a few years earlier), it was Magic he was most chasing early on to impeach as the NBA's best player.
dam Magic passes the ball hella hard... his bullet passes r crazy fast.. u always gotta keep your hands up and b rdy to catch the ball...
Facts he got it there real quick
Now if I was having a 1 on 1 game I would definitely take Michael. ..but in a 5 on 5..it's Magic every time..#showtime32👌
Michael said it to magic, magic wanted to play him one on one,mj said you want to me the best one on one player when you're the best team player
sure nice to see the sky hook devastate the defense....and I've said for the longest time, I make Magic Johnson the #1 pick of any alltime team. Start your team with Magic, and your team beats them all.
31 years ago and this game is far more better than any NBA Finals today.

magics hook shot is soo legit..
I wonder why most PG don't use this move during tight situations 🤔
@@Interscope100he taller than majority pgs
Incredible how talented this Laker team was, equally incredible how talented MJ was & how He went at them! If Michael Jordan arrived in the NBA with the teammates Bird & Magic had early on, the Chicago Bulls make a legitimate run at Russell's (NBA Record) championship mark of 8 in a row & 11 in 13 years!
No doubt bro
Bull Shit! Give Bird and Magic fucking credit. The 86 Celtics and 87 Lakers could beat any team.
He could have probably won anywhere from 2 to 5 championships in the 80s with the Lakers or the celtics...
@udYi Q Bird took a last place team in 79 to first place team in 80 in his rookie year, I don't think Jordan would have been able to do that...
Magic took a playoff team to championship in his rookie year without Kareem in game 6 of the finals....
@udYi Q 5 HOFers? 😆 Just stop there.
My point is Bird took a last place team, 29 win team, from previous year to first place team, 61 wins, in his rookie year. What's so hard to understand? He completely turned the franchise around in his rookie year improving them to first place from last place from year ago...
MJ is better than MJ 😂
Mookaron ur right MJ is the GOAT. Way better than MJ.
TGIdecidous Lol 😂
Nāppį ßōi no, MJ is the goat.. MJ sucks and got cut from his high school bball team.
@隆盛西郷 shidd, no he ain't.
As always MJ is the best he is better than MJ
Jordan was quick at this time young legs
Best MJ channel on youtube. 👍👍
The good old days of basketball. Once Michale Jordan retired, I retired from watching the NBA.
the current cupcake era
That last dunk by Jordan man exact place at the right TIME
Good job JORDAN MJ thank u very much
If I were starting a team MAGIC would be my first choice.
Facts
Magic was the most entertaining players ever, he always seems to pull a pass out of his ass every game.
2:58 so clean....
Jordan had a very good midrange game/shot to operate, when he couldnt tale it to the rim
1:08 the first running man challenge?
'unmolested rebound'
es sin duda la mejor comparasion que he leido de todos los tiempos.....

Uniqueness 💪💪💪
Like Rome...it wasn't built in a day...but the NBA was built during this Era..this epoch in NBA history...what a fucking great decade...
What stands out for me in this video is the incredible talent difference between these two teams. The Bulls look like they would win 10 games without Jordan and the Lakers are loaded.
Lavar Ball said he's too big for Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson is one of the biggest guards ever and one of the best guards ever and Michael Jordan did great against him.
Cedric M Magic gave Jordan BUCKETS
Magic is not one of the best. He's the best
Robert Chen I agree
Jordan was not sticking Magic.
Prime Lavar cooks MJ
Magic was a freaking QB on the floor. A legit magician..
thank you! I LOVE bulls highlight during Jordan era with the OPPOSING team's announcers. Almost every video clip has Bulls announcers and as someone who is from Chicago I enjoy the other perspective from the other side. GREAT!
Soy mexicano y para mi el mejor de todos los tiempos es Magic Johnson.
MJ23 is the best court BASKETBALL player,..👊👊👊👊👊👊❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝👍👍👍👍👍👍🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
I agree. At this time, Magic’s knees were shot.
But in his first 2,3 years he was an unstoppable scorer.
It would have been very interesting to have theses guys play one one one if they could have played each other in their 2nd year as a pro.
Magic would have destroyed Michael one in one!
finally someone brings up his knees. He was playing on the ground at this point in his career and getting by with IQ and his height. His stamina was declining and would defer the ball handling often in the finals that year when pressed by Dumars and Rodman. During the prior years, he can take it easily and still have gas in the tank for the 4th quarter.
Then in 1991 when Pippen pressed him, people think that was the first time it ever happened.
I will forever think that a Michael Jordan is the best player I ever saw,, and I think he is the best player ever, that being said however, after Kareem I start my all time nba team with Magic, Michael, Bird, Mchale.
Clássico 👏👏👏👍🇧🇷
MJ23 & MJ32 👍💯 👑
I even forget just how great Magic was. Jordan is the GOAT but. I'd pick Magic #1 overall if I could start a team.
xart23x Why? Jordan's team beat Magic's team in the Finals.
He won 5 rings b4 he even met Jordan in the Finals. It was Jordan's time by then.
HoustonIsImmortal
Jordan is a better player but Magic is a better team player
Magic is the best team player ever, Jordan is the best individual player ever
Magic got the MVP that year, 1989, as well as the very next season. That was also Cap's last year. They swept the West, even with a Kareem that was no longer a force. But lost Magic and Scott in the finals, and was in turn, swept by the bad boys. Magic is my GOAT.
Kung-Fu Mojo he's better than Jordan. Yup
Sports Fanatic L
Scoremessi Score “tragic johnson” remember why he was given that nickname?
Kung-Fu Mojo - first, they lost Worthy and Scott in Games 4 and 5 so let's stop pretending they had some disadvantage. MJ and the Bulls were terrorists that year in the playoffs and they dominated the Lakers in every game just like everyone else - with and without Big Game James and Byron Scott. The only reason why they lost Game 1 was because MJ's game attempt shot rimmed out. The Triangle destroyed L.A. - all the ball and player movement was something they couldn't handle in 7 game series.
And while Magic was great, he simply was not as good as MJ in too many areas. Jordan's singular greatness is undeniable - even to his peers like Magic.
Bulls had a better team, far superior talent that year...But Magic destroyed Jordan that first game...He humiliated him. And everytime Jordan covered Magic it was a for sure basket somewhere..And Jordan being the competitor just kept wanting to KEEP guard Magic and Jackson could see Magic luring Jordan into the trap..This is why Jordan is a little overrated IMO, he had killer instinct but smarter players could use ego against him and manipulate him, like Bird, Pistons etc. Thank God Phil Jackson was the coach and switched Scottie on Magic because if Collins was still the coach Bulls would have still won the series but it would have been alot closer and may have gone 7 games IMO
Back then the shooting was not that great but man they could finish inside. The left handed hook by magic.. uff
As great as Jordan was, watching videos like this, I realize that I'd rather have Magic on my team. He could do it all, score, pass, shoot, rebound, post up, and play solid team defense.
Seriously Ill take Jordan winning me 3 in a row twice lol
SmithN' Wesson Jordan’s bulls would’nt beat the show time lakers heck the could even The Detroit bad boys. He didn’t start winning until they all began to retire and where worn out.
Chey Heyway that’s so stupid, they were in their primes. Magic was 31, and the bad boys were in their late 20’s, that story is all bullshit. Jordan alone can keep the game close, and with Scottie and other help he was able to win.
Melvin Olaverria Your poorly confused buddy Jordan would take 38 shots and score 32 points. His team actually responded positively when ever he went to the bench.
Scoremessi Score wtf are you even saying, no one said Kareem was playing, and Magic was 2nd in MVP voting that year so shut your bitchass up.
Highlights from the 80s got way better quality than early / mid 2000s💀
They say magic used to damn there throw up crip hook shot was so fresh
imagine if you will a world, were jordan, magic, bird, were all on the same team. in their prime of course.
Mj vs mj
It's interesting watching Jordan just pull up and shoot jumpers from wherever. If you shot like that on a highschool or college team in today's game, you'd destroy defenses, assuming you could hit them like Jordan.

magic is awesome
Ahhhh. The good old days.
Well, in the 80’s Jordan seems so immature and not very dexterous, though his potential and ambitions were so evident. In the 90’s he became a god of grace and swiftness. In this very game Magic is fare more intelligent and observing. Magic was a good teacher to Jordan.
I am not seeing a fast magic decline in my simulations… with magic’s “Lebron” like build, (thick bones, muscle, and almost zero injuries/not as bad as Jordan’s injurie resume) magic prevails to get 1-3 more rings in those simulations…
WHAT ISN’T BEING TALKED ABOUT, is how if magic does not get HIV, magic winning even 1 ring against Jordan causes a (+2, -2) change in the ring count… For example, Magic wining a ring against Jordan causes this (Magic 6, Jordan 5) and if magic steals another MVP (yes! he already took some from Jordan) from The MVP count goes like this (Magic 4, Jordan 4)
Now consider who’s playing style would consistently attract the best free agents: A guy known for passing the ball and generally gets along great with teammates/ or a guy who bunts heads with most and passes the ball much less… Lastly, if magic doesn't get HIV, and with Magic’s assist rate being 11.2 per game/while Stockton is only 10.5…it fair to say that Magic would have more than a 50% chance of being the all-time assist leader…
Magic finally reported the mental and physical fatigue he was facing in the finals, to his doctor… Positive with HIV…only a month after the Jordan beat him… So, Jordan has proven he can beat HIV Magic… And then had no rematch… And so it is, Jordan might say he could beat magic 1on1, you will never find a quote from Jordan saying that he is the better than magic at the team game… Because a Goat know when he saw another Goat… and we all missed out on the drama that could have been!
In conclusion, my simulations also adds to Jordans legacy without his early retirement- and when that happens, the 2 usually end up with equal amounts of rings and MVP’s…(6-8 each)…because even though Jordan doesn’t retire… when he loses just one to magic… Magic leap frogs in a way Jordan can’t do back to Magic-because Magic’s first 5 rings come before Jordan could make it past the bad boys…So Magic can steal from Jordan, but Jordan cant steal from Magic… one being the all-time facilitator through selfishness, the other is the all-time facilitator through unselfishness… and more importantly than who is the goat between these two, is that we all missed out on would be the most beautiful basketball rivalry of all-time… go watch the duals between these two to refresh your memory…
This video above shows what magic was like against Jordan… before he had HIV in those 91’ finals
This is real basketball
Best Ever.
The legend vs the mage
the goat magic
Ronie Altamirano Better than Jordan for sure
No ones better than Jordan you clowns
can goat term be used for basketball
Classic!
Jordan couldn’t stop Magic One on One
and Vice Versa
watch the 3 games in Los angels in the finals Jordan put the clamps on magic especially in game 3 when it .mattered most

Malik Parks lmao do u know what a point guard is? Probably not
Magic is fantastic
I really wish that, this could have been the nba finals that year.
if everyone keep making bomb squads, there won't be anymore great match-ups like these
but you only named two teams, there's only a few left, and if teams keep making bomb squads, there's gonna be even fewer. Tbh the wins between the warriors and cavs doesn't even matter as much when considering the Lebron and KD match up bc the players around those two superstars are also superstars.
C'mon people... it is so obvious that Michael Jordan was the greatest ever. Only two people in NBA history have averaged 30 points a game for a career. Wilt Chamberlain and Michael Jordan. Wilt played as a man amongst boys and played close to the basket, Michael played the 2 spot at 6'6". buff said. Oh by the way... Jordan was also one of the greatest defenders ever as well.
See how many times MJ shot per game. If Steph Curry, Carmelo, LeBron, or KD shot as much as MJ, they'd have as much career ppg
Natasza Frallicciardi First of all points arent everything. And second of all he was able to average that many points in his career because he only played 14 seasons and he was averaging ridicoulous numbers at the start of his career on teams that were getting nowhere.
That's over simplifying things.
Natasza Frallicciardi BULLSHIT. It's only about points now? Magic is better than Jordan at basketball. He's unselfish. Jordan was a ballhog
@@Goose21 too bad none of those guys are as efficient as MJ
Magic Johnson is too legit
Where r the hard fouls people keep talking abt in the 80s'??
Rayan Mathew definitely not gonna find many of them with magic led lakers.
watch playoffs pistons-bulls, or celtics-pistons, etc etc... doesnt mean it happened in everygame, but game was harder and more defensive.
Rayan Mathew Exactly. Shit is over exaggerated
Jose Paredes you only named two teams. proves that the mythology is exposed. there are players now who hard foul ALL the time
Sports Fanatic Yeah but now their looking at replay's for 10 minutes to see just how hard the foul was. Lol.
Wish we could have heard Chick Hearn calling this game.
he says in the description mj but which one
Jordan's overall average ppg would have been 32 if he didn't come out of retirement and played with the Wizards, where his average was 24 ppg.

El mejor equipo era Chicago Bulls,el mejor jugador Magic .
Jordan and Magic were great, the 2nd and 3rd best I’ve ever seen since I started watching the NBA in 1979 but the greatest I’ve ever seen is Kareem Abdul Jabbar. The best teams I’ve ever seen were all in the 80s - ‘87 and ‘85 Lakers, ‘86 Celtics and ‘83 76ers. I haven’t seen any teams as good since then.
If you had started in 1970 it's tenable but if you started in 1979 , you only saw him in his real prime roughly for 2-3 years . Personally had I been in your shoes having seen from 1979 My top 5 would be
Jordan
Bird
Magic
Kareem
Lebron

9:00 I belive Jordan lost the ball because he (sort of) got scared because he was up against Magic in a crucial moment of the game and instead of dunking it like he would have against any other player he lost focus. Jordan the best player who ever lived - God dressed as a basketball player as larry bird once said- but deep down still human.
who age magic and kareem in this game
Watching KAREEM PLAY is he doesn’t play defense!!! DAMN LEBRON SHOULD HAVE DONW THIS!! I think the KING IS the BEST SF IN GAME!
