This game is better than any game ive seen since Kobe's prime. I don't watch soft basketball. I dont watch what they call the NBA today. If they wanted to rename the league to the WNBA they should have just done it by now instead of pussyfooting around it. 00s NBA basketball on back is what i like. Actual TOUGHNESS and AGGRESSION coming from these tough athletes.
"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed." - Michael Jordan
The last three minutes he got: 8 points in total 4 free throws made 2 steals 1 rebound 1 clutch layup AND 1 amazing cross over to put the game away GOAT

*Everything about this moment is so perfect.* Down by one point. Has the ball. Crosses the opponent. Hits the shot. Forty-Five points. Six championships. Second Three-peat.
This is MJ’s most impressive ring. Unlike 96 & 97 where everyone else stood no chance against them, the 98 bulls were a shell of that. Scottie was rarely healthy, Dennis was not productive for big chunks of the year, the other role players all visibly declined, MJ himself wasn’t getting younger, and the massive internal turmoil within the organization between Krause, Phil, and the players. Yet, they won because they still had Michael Jordan on their team who carried and willed the bulls to this title.
Michael not only scored the *winning shot* that gave the Bulls their last championship, he also scored *45pts* in his final game for them - the number he wore when he came back from retirement in 1995. Truly the stuff of a Hollywood movie!! 🐐 #23
@M Greatest sport? Sport cant be considered great if its popular. For example if saying stupid things (such as your comment) was the most watched sport that doesn't make it "by far the greatest". I have nothing against football but hear me out. It's too boring (imo, many others agree) , basketball, handball are boths more dynamic thus being more interesting to watch. And if we don't look at the spectator side of it football isnt much complex (example: wrestler, gimnasticks guy, karate dude can play football 1000 times better than footballers can do their sports). Physique wise footballers have strong legs and running endurance, not all round as many other sports. Soo...why is football "by far the greatest sport"? Bcs you are biased? Bcs its tHe mOsT pOpULaR? Neither is a valid reason.
Basketball isn't the same without MJ. I recorded every game of the Bulls and Michael. They're on DVDs now so every once in a while I'll relive the excitement of watching him play, it's awesome.
Layup, Steal, Stepback, Title The last 39 seconds of this game PERFECTLY sums him up. Has there ever been a series of plays that personified a player any better?
LeBron 2013 finals- Titanic block on Splitter, Hustles back on offense and finds Ray Allen in the corner for 3, next on defense pokes ball out for a steal, follows it with fastbreak dunk. MJ and LBJ are the two best ever by a mile. No one like them.
Man, "the age of my seat" I know what you are talking about... As a fan of Maccabi Tel Aviv (Israel), this happens to me all the time, to this day, when I watch the famous "Miracle in Zalgiris cobna" game again.

@@mikebeesley5458 Byron Russell was lit up like a match in the two finals he matched up with Jordan. He's practically in Every Jordan highlight when it comes to Jordan's clutch play in the finals. He wasn't gonna stop anything regardless.
Its nuts. In the last 1:11 of live play no Bull touches the ball but Michael. He got a rebound, 2 free throws, a quick score, a steal and a game winner. The amount of pressure he played with and accepted is insane. His teammates allowed this because they knew he would bring them home in the clutch. How could his GOAT status ever be questioned?
@@acornsucks2111 its definitely not the same. Hitting a wide open shot, compared to doing every single thing neccessary for your team to win. If you want to expand it, you can say in the last 3 minutes not a single Bull scored. But Jordan was tired, evidence of this is in his short front rimming jumpshots. Yet somehow, he managed to perfectly sink an 18 foot jumper with just seconds to go. Everyone knew where the ball was going, yet he still managed to make it happen.
@@dontatme__ You just posted that no one else was shooting the ball down the stretch and I pointed out two examples of your flawed comment. Reading your post is lowering my IQ.
@@acornsucks2111 😂😂😂 your IQ wasnt high to begin with. You provided two examples that have absolutely nothing to do with the sequence referred to in my comment. Trying so hard to "appear intelligent" and you can't even stay on topic🤣

@@JakeKoenig Lol that's bullshit. Jordan did not push off, it only looks like that from one angle. If you watch multiple angles there was no push off.
@@raidersacdc4892 all I wanna say to further prove your point is 2011 finals and 2017 game 3. Jordan would never have that type of performance like lebron did
Don't care what anyone says, that was the golden age of the NBA. Every team had a mega star but then there was MJ, not getting past him. What a great time to be a Chicagoan
I agree the golden era foresure. Every team had a megastar and at least 2 other superstars. So many players were overshadowed by the mega star but yes best time to be a ball fan
I'm a Magic Johnson and Showtime fan but good lord Mr. Jordan is a GOAT, UNICORN of Basketball, MASTER of the Game, and a KILLER to your basketball soul. No one come close to this man.
Seriously bro there’s no question and I met John Stockton in Spokane and he was mean and stand off ish and I see why after seeing this Jordan messed him up same for a lot of players 😂😂😂😂😂
@@excellmoney7746 Stockton just may have been having a bad day. I'm a diehard Piston fan but Isiah Thomas was wrong calling that a push on B. Russell by Jordan.
Jordan was so clutch at the end, he single handedly finished the game. Drew a foul to stop the clock then sank both free throws, quick 4 second score to put the Bulls down by 1, forced a takeaway, then let the clock run and sank the final bucket to go up by 1 with 5 seconds left. Simply amazing. He knows how to win.
@Lisa Rose Why are you hating on Stockton for no reason? He wasn't the one guarding MJ for those last two shots, Russell and Malone were. Stockton hit a 3 to go up by 3 with 41 seconds left. He IS clutch.
@Lisa Rose Just stop while you're behind. Jordan missed a wide open 3 at the beginning of the video, and a field goal that he should have made at 4:06. It happens, but that didn't make him any less clutch because he scored when he had to, just like Stockton did with that clutch 3 pointer to take the lead by 3 points with 41 seconds left. Quit hating for no reason.
@Lisa Rose You brought Steph Curry into the discussion of all people, so you don't decide it's not about MJ, who actually happened to be in the same game as Stockton. Take your unnecessary hate elsewhere, because you sound like a fool.
Unlike the bad boy pissedons, the Jazz at least showed class. Stockton and Malone both had the decency to go congratulate the Bulls on the team bus. All I've ever heard from Thomas or Laimbeer were excuses for acting like jerks
Anyday anytime Bron gonna smoke any team. Game has evolved alot in current NBA. Haven't seen any player till now toying Bron like Iverson did with Jordan back then.
It is still incredible to me that no Chicago Bull possesses the ball in the final minute and 42 seconds. Michael grabs every rebound, takes every single shot, every free throw, even steals the ball. The only thing he didn’t do was inbound the ball to himself.
facts! and you see his poise and ice cold delivery from the free throw line like no one was there.. it's like the pressure did nothing to him he already seen him self and the bulls winning. that man was a cold blooded killer ! so many legendary players will go to their graves ring less because #23 stood in their way. GOAT!
the last minute sums up the Greatness of Michael Jordan for me & why I call him the best of all-time. He hit the quick layup, he then gets the most pivotal steal of his career, & hits the shot to go ahead in the NBA championship. It was a perfect ending to a player that captured the heart of the entire world! Man do I Miss him balling!
NBA has never returned to the 90's level. With w0ke virtue signalling and all that it's kind of over for the NBA. Not to mention that there aren't players worth watching. Lebron is good but he's not clutch and he's not really fun to watch. The whole game is ruined too now with it just being a 3 point shoot out.
I still shake my head in amazement at those last sequences of play by Michael Jordan.He lets everybody play the game, but when it's time to close it out,he takes over and wins it for them everytime.What a player What a legend.🏆🏆🏆•🏆🏆🏆🏀
@J G did someone bring up soccer? Soccer is a big sport in the rest of the world but I still think it's boring. Who wants to watch a bunch of 120 lbs guys lightly jog around a field for 3 hours and score once or twice? Make the field smaller and implement a shot clock and make it more violent and it will be some entertainment.
@J G - Then stop trolling and go watch soccer. No one said you have to choose one or the other. Save the bandwidth for those that appreciate this moment. In fact, post a link to a 'football' game that's as exciting as this. maybe win some over!

That video where Jordan gets asked "Final seconds, games on the line, who takes the last shot?" Jordans answers with a disguised look on his face that you would even dare have to ask that question because you should of already known and never have asked. He was that offended. He goes. "Me" and walks off. RUclips it.
@J G your argument makes literally no sense. You say that soccer is the "greatest sport on earth" without presenting a single argument to back up that statement. All you argument proves is that it's the most POPULAR and widely played sport on earth. News flash: most popular doesn't mean greatest. Dwayne Johnson is the most popular actor on the planet. Is he the greatest actor? No not even close. Popular doesn't mean greatest. Michael Jordan is the goat of basketball. Lol this has nothing to do with soccer
Stockton was a beast! When he hit that three point in the end, I thought it was over...... but MJ doing GOAT things. I still have the DVD of all the Bulls dynasty.
Had Malone had that [IQ of a genius], he would/should have known that he'd be doubled, and would have passed to ball to the guy that MJ was supposed to be on...well, as much as I like KM, he is no MJ, that's for sure. ;-)
I am you look there's a interview Phil Jackson did where he told Jordan in the time out they was gonna go to Malone down low an Jordan was gonna strip the ball. He told Jordan to picture it then he went an did it that's crazy
Got to see this live on TV as a kid. As I got older I realized how special this was. 2 3peats and has never lost more than 2 games in a row as a Bull in the 90s. That's crazy! GOAT.
The last 3 minutes of that game shows why Jordan is the greatest ever. They needed every point, he got to the line and made all 4 free throws, got the steal off his missed 3 pointer. And to not clear to get the steal from Malone was just having bball iq.I mean damn he played both sides of the court. BBall IQ, defense, offense and that killer instinct. So he had 8 points and 2 steals in 2.5 minutes
Speaking of basketball iq, look at how he immediately notices the error in the refs offensive foul call against Rodman, who was never given a chance at a legitimate possession by planting both feet on the ground first. Jordan IMMEDIATELY notices that, shows his awareness and iq in the midst of high pressure moments.
True leadership and greatness is when the pressure is on , not his best shooting night but he was smart enough to attack the rim and get to the line keeping his team in the game, then he makes three consecutive plays to win it as Kerr said “your fucking unbelievable”
The best thing about Jordan is that he NEVER gives up. Most people, there at the end when Malone had the ball would have just ran down the court to get ready to defend. But not Jordan. He is simply on another level, beyond even the best then and now. And on the winning shot, he really didn't push Russell. His hand was on Russell, yes, but when Jordan stopped on a dime to make the shot, Russell got his ankles broken basically, and caused the illusion that he was pushed. I watched it live, and it seems just like yesterday. Since Jordan left, I really haven't watched much basketball, though I did watch Lebron through the playoffs this year. He is very good, in the ball park of Jordan talent-wise, but here's the difference: Lebron makes mistakes that Jordan never did, such as errant passes, passing when he should continue a drive to the hoop, complaining to a ref while the other team is taking the ball back across the court.
Phil Jackson talked about this in an interview before. He mentioned how Michael’s jumpshot hadn’t been falling this game, he was letting his hand go early and not following through. So when Bulls called the timeout at 41 seconds, he told michael as soon as you get the ball attack the basket immediately, don’t settle for a shot, then after you score (which I love how Phil was so confident predicting MJ would score), he told Michael that on defense Jazz are gonna run the cross baseline pick to Malone. Phil told MJ to come around and try to see if he can get a strip on the ball. Same play Michael goes down and scores, on a jumpshot I might add, which he makes sure to follow through lol. Crazy how in unison Phil and Mike were, Phil with the awareness and advice for MJ, and of course Michael went out and executed to perfection. Shows how much they both trusted each other.
The impact of Chicago Bulls back in the 90s was so huge on basketball 🏀 nba etc that even nowadays people 30+ who’s not following recent trends still associate Chicago Bulls with the best team
He went Thanos in that last 41 seconds. NO ONE ELSE on the Bulls touched the ball. MJ literally went and snatched a title away from two of the 50 best players who ever lived, on their floor, with a skeleton cast of teammates. It's just unreal how he ended his Chicago run. It's beyond sports...it was theater. The most watched game in the history of the NBA and MJ ended with the greatest flourish of all time.
How is it a skeleton cast of team mates Scottie and Rodman forming the best big 3 ever. Rodman leading the nba in rebounds that season (possibly the greatest rebounder ever) Scottie still a top 5 gaurd in the NBA Toni kukoc, the reigning 6th man of the year Steve Kerr- the most efficient 3 point shooter in history And big game Ron Harper
@@zaindiwan7614tbf, Rodman was unplayable in 98, Scottie had no back in 98, Kerr literally took 10 shots tops throughout the 97-98 season, and "Big Game" Ron Harper had a whooping 8 points in 28 minutes. Kukoc contributed a nice 15 points, which was good in the 90's, but still not big 3 type of a performance. It was MJ's game
@@zaindiwan7614 IN THAT GAME, Pippen was useless. Rodman had been depreciating returns and was relegated to the bench in the Finals. Jesus, some of you are so quick to hear yourselves talk, you don't even stop to fucking READ what others wrote. In THIS GAME, he had a skeleton cast of teammates.
Jordan with the lay up, Jordan with free throws, Jordan with the rebound, Jordan with the steal, Jordan with the Game Winner... The man put Chicago on his back...
+Realjayrome Exactly The refs suspending Draymond and like you said Kyrie hitting the game winning shot. No game 7. Jordan never played in a game 7 in the NBA Finals
He went to the free throw line on two very questionable calls. I think Stockton got there on time and I didn't see how the other was a foul. Jordan missed 3 shots in the last three minutes and passed the ball probably 5 times. If this is your GOAT. Y'all can have him. I'll take Kareem every day
+Bryon Carter lololol. Lay up, steal, final shot. Win. Bye bye. 6 final 6 rings. 6 fmvp 10+ scoring champ. 5 mvp. 40 years old still could score 40 points. Career 30 ppg. 50% fg. That's many ppl goat. U cherry pick a certain period of game and then compared to ur goat. Lololololol.
in the 90's watching Michael and the Bulls on the NBA on NBC was unmissable. We were spoiled. Watching this live, I lost my mind on the steal off Malone. So insane. There will never be another MJ.
NBA basketball NBC on Sundays was the shit! Jordan was must see tv.. I remember Chicago at my Team Boston.. Jordan just lighting them up and 1 shot by MJ just sticks in my head.. Ball is going out of bounds by the Celtics bench, shot clock at 2 Jordan saving the ball in mid air falling into the Celtics bench nails a 3 pointer!!! God was he perfect!! I feel blessed to have watched him..And we had BIRD and he was great too obviously..
So poetic. The undisputed GOAT. May be another 100 years until there’s another person close to MJ. Plus he played in the toughest era in the NBA. The greatest basketball player of all time.
@@01hZyou’re a walking L bro talking about Lebron 🤣everybody know who the real goat is and he didn’t have to play 10 years longer to stat pad. He didn’t quit the bulls to build build super teams and choke all the finals like Lebron everybody knows who the real goat is mj is the goat lebum is the king king of flopping and choking the finals lol
I remember watching this like it was yesterday. Like many people, I wanted to see Utah win because Stockton, Malone, Hornacek deserved a championship and the bulls had won so many. But after that final minute, I remember thinking Jordan just wanted it more than those guys. The truly great athletes rise up when the title is on the line-this is one of the best examples.
The Utah Jazz were an incredibly strong team. In the 1998 Playoffs, the Utah Jazz defeated the Lakers 4:0 and the Spurs 4:1.

@@Joe-xv9kd it was Jordan’s steal at around 21 seconds left in the game. Malone had the ball in his hands, in the post, up by one, with the game on the line. He choked. Stockton missed the shot at the end. Jordan seemed to win this game in that last 25 seconds with shear will. I was not rooting for him, but at the time, I thought he just wanted it more. Not that Malone and Stockton didn’t want it bad, Jordan just seemed to want it more. But hey, maybe you’re right, and I should really say “he deserved it more.”
@@slgordon3 nah you were right the first time. It doesn't even come down to that last few plays in that game where it shows who wants it more. Maybe the motivation came from the thought of a legacy standpoint or maybe he felt like people were writing him off at the end of his career. Experience was probably the biggest factor in the last couple of plays and you have to give the credit to MJ for putting in the effort and time into acquiring all the experience he had going into that final minute. I wouldn't say MJ outright wanted it more than anybody in that moment because I'm sure in that moment everyone is peaking in terms of emotions and sheer will. But I'm confident saying MJ spent more time in just that 1 season of having championship mentality than anybody else.
I love it when at the end of game Steve Kerr hugs Jordan and says “You are f…..g unbelievable” then Phil Jacson hugs him and says “My God that was beautiful! What a finish!” Then other teammates come and thank him. Even his teammates and coach are in awe what he did in the last 3 minutes.
"If that's the last image of Michael Jordan, how magnificent is it?" They didn't realize decades later it would still be the most iconic image of all time
MJ was dominant offensively and defensively in this game 6 to give Chicago Bulls their 2nd 3 peats. The greatness of MJ should never be questioned by anyone regardless of era.

To do this in his final game as a bull is just incredible. He played every game in his final three championship years, three full 82 game regular seasons along with three title winning playoff runs. He was head and shoulders above everyone in his era. The term greatness is thrown around too freely these days, but he really was the greatest to ever play the game.

Such a great game....I've got the whole game on Blu-ray along with several others....MJ was so entertaining, every time he stepped onto the court, you knew he was going to do something unexpected....He played like he invented the game.
@@ron88303 That's an interesting question. If there was a situation where I was forced to put my life on 1 shot, it would be MJ over anyone else. Obviously I'm referring to Jordan in his prime, not as we speak. As my post says, NO ONE is/was better under unfathomable pressure. If anything the pressure seemed to be like fuel for him. It clearly did something to him to bring out the absolute best game he had at the most crucial points in the game.
This is still crazy after all these years. The crazy thing he wasn’t shooting a ball that well but when it mattered most offensively and defensively he was big. Relentless and incredible.

@@BionicOne1 I watched it in Russia too. I was 13 years old ) Yes, this final was shown on the russian TV-channel. But I think it was not live. As I remember it was the middle of the day, not the early morning.
Economy was great, no social media, kids played outside, fast food was quality, music was great, air was clean, women were natural. Human quality of life reached it's pinnacle in the 90's.
Too bad I was born early 90s instead of late 80s... Wish I could of had a couple more years of the old world (pre 911) Seeing videos like this is great... Hard to believe how much has changed since then
Nobody gonna talk about the fact that Jordan had 23 first half points and 45 at the end? It always blew my mind that even numerically his final game as a Bull was so fitting.
I remember this game, was a lot younger, but man the good old days. Seeing Jordan play makes you feel younger for those of us who grew up with this. What a time to be alive! The Embrace between Phill Jackson and Jordan, two greats who respect each other and are a force to be reckon with. What a dynasty.

I mean he is the goat but Lebron did carry his team on 2018 but he didn’t beat the warriors but it was as impresive as Jordan carrying this old bulls team
Stockton was always ready to draw a charge, beautiful 3-pointer play by the jazz, Rodman's confidence in Jordan free throw, the defense, the heart and of course, the GOAT taking business, man this is art
Everything demonstrated in this last quarter from Jordan: defence, steals, pressure, mental maturity, offence, team work and leadership mixed with an insatiable will to win, players like this come once in a lifetime, he is the greatest basketball player The world has ever seen because he is the complete player. There was even a computer game released in the 90s where the developer decided not to include Michael Jordan as a player you could access because he’d be too good and it would ruin the game lol.
MJ knew he had to take this over and seal the win. They were getting old, they were tired, Pippen re-injured his back & was basically just a decoy the whole game, and MJ knew they wouldn’t win a game 7. He made three straight HUGE plays & sealed it for them. GOAT.

watched this live a week out of 8th grade - still leaves me in awe 24 years later. others come close, but this is still probably the most clutch, iconic, historically significant couple minutes of individual basketball effort i know of. Phil nailed it afterward - "beautiful"
Brother, we lived that same exact life. I was born 7-10-84 and I never cracked 5'7" tall. Still, that man is part of why our generation still believes anything is possible. MJ is greatness, & the fact that it still stands a quarter century later is about more than stats. We got to witness greatness on a level that inspired the soul of humanity. For anyone who does not agree, I wish you could have been there to see it, OR I pity you for continuing to lie to yourself after all this time. MJ is flawed like anyone else, but he was once the pinnacle of human greatness.
I am also on awe. This was the night before my daughter was born.i fell asleep on the floor by the tv. My wife came in later and said...it is time. MJ is the goat!!.. Not even close!!!!
I was born in 94 as well, and I'm not even from USA, but I get emotional watching to moments like this. I guess that era, before 2000s, made a higher appel through media about stars ir something, that makes them look like untoucheble gods. But no quetion people like him were phenomenons in comparison to any time.
its a different era when basketball is physical and not like today's game. if today's players played by the rules of the old, i am sure the famous top spots would changes.

@@Shmeglebop hell nah watch his hand closely. He has it on Bryon’s leg but he doesn’t apply force.
This is MJ’s most impressive ring. Unlike 96 & 97 where everyone else stood no chance against them, the 98 bulls were a shell of that. Scottie was rarely healthy, Dennis was not productive for big chunks of the year, the other role players all visibly declined, MJ himself wasn’t getting younger, and the massive internal turmoil within the organization between Krause, Phil, and the players. Yet, they won because they still had Michael Jordan on their team who carried and willed the bulls to this title.
MJ wasn’t getting younger? He’s going to take that personally…
So reorganization was the right decision actually. No matter what they say. They was the goat team. And they still the goat.
In this video you literally see him will his team to the victory. Clutch play after clutch play! Incredible.
Mike had that iron will
Michael not only scored the *winning shot* that gave the Bulls their last championship, he also scored *45pts* in his final game for them - the number he wore when he came back from retirement in 1995. Truly the stuff of a Hollywood movie!! 🐐 #23
MJ really did stop a whole generation of ball players from winning championships & fostered a new generation that wanted to be just like him
Well said
Dito..Apt words indeed
And they still debating about the GOAT lmfao

Funny how after 23 years later this is still rated as the most watched game in NBA history, it's not hard to see why.

@M
Greatest sport? Sport cant be considered great if its popular. For example if saying stupid things (such as your comment) was the most watched sport that doesn't make it "by far the greatest". I have nothing against football but hear me out. It's too boring (imo, many others agree) , basketball, handball are boths more dynamic thus being more interesting to watch. And if we don't look at the spectator side of it football isnt much complex (example: wrestler, gimnasticks guy, karate dude can play football 1000 times better than footballers can do their sports). Physique wise footballers have strong legs and running endurance, not all round as many other sports. Soo...why is football "by far the greatest sport"? Bcs you are biased? Bcs its tHe mOsT pOpULaR? Neither is a valid reason.
Basketball isn't the same without MJ. I recorded every game of the Bulls and Michael. They're on DVDs now so every once in a while I'll relive the excitement of watching him play, it's awesome.

@Lisa Rose Why are you hating on Stockton for no reason? He wasn't the one guarding MJ for those last two shots, Russell and Malone were. Stockton hit a 3 to go up by 3 with 41 seconds left. He IS clutch.
@Lisa Rose Just stop while you're behind. Jordan missed a wide open 3 at the beginning of the video, and a field goal that he should have made at 4:06. It happens, but that didn't make him any less clutch because he scored when he had to, just like Stockton did with that clutch 3 pointer to take the lead by 3 points with 41 seconds left. Quit hating for no reason.
@Lisa Rose You brought Steph Curry into the discussion of all people, so you don't decide it's not about MJ, who actually happened to be in the same game as Stockton. Take your unnecessary hate elsewhere, because you sound like a fool.
@Lisa Rose steph has never been clutch in the finals either never took over a game when his team needed him the most
Respect to Utah Jazz..they made MJ’s last dance perfect and beautiful

@M yeah but soccer is corny as hell
Stockton was so underrated, but the greats of his era know the truth. I never cared for the Jazz one bit, but I still have respect for them~
That swat on Malone to steal the ball to me is equally impressive as his final shot. The timing and awareness on that defensive play was impeccable.
CORRECT!! I agree wholeheartedly!
Yeah, that's 200 IQ play
Had Malone had that [IQ of a genius], he would/should have known that he'd be doubled, and would have passed to ball to the guy that MJ was supposed to be on...well, as much as I like KM, he is no MJ, that's for sure. ;-)
I second that and also that quick layup
I am you look there's a interview Phil Jackson did where he told Jordan in the time out they was gonna go to Malone down low an Jordan was gonna strip the ball. He told Jordan to picture it then he went an did it that's crazy
Got to see this live on TV as a kid. As I got older I realized how special this was. 2 3peats and has never lost more than 2 games in a row as a Bull in the 90s. That's crazy! GOAT.
when the jazz fans were waving those balloons to distract jordan's free throws, well... he took it personal
I was thinking the exact same thing
All fans in every stadium in the NBA used to do that in those years
Talk, talk… i always yawn when i'm interested!
The last 3 minutes of that game shows why Jordan is the greatest ever. They needed every point, he got to the line and made all 4 free throws, got the steal off his missed 3 pointer. And to not clear to get the steal from Malone was just having bball iq.I mean damn he played both sides of the court. BBall IQ, defense, offense and that killer instinct. So he had 8 points and 2 steals in 2.5 minutes
Jawayne 224 yes
@PokemonAddict He would have also given up after that John stockton 3pt at 7:58
Simply Amazing!
Speaking of basketball iq, look at how he immediately notices the error in the refs offensive foul call against Rodman, who was never given a chance at a legitimate possession by planting both feet on the ground first. Jordan IMMEDIATELY notices that, shows his awareness and iq in the midst of high pressure moments.
True leadership and greatness is when the pressure is on , not his best shooting night but he was smart enough to attack the rim and get to the line keeping his team in the game, then he makes three consecutive plays to win it as Kerr said “your fucking unbelievable”
The best thing about Jordan is that he NEVER gives up. Most people, there at the end when Malone had the ball would have just ran down the court to get ready to defend. But not Jordan. He is simply on another level, beyond even the best then and now.
And on the winning shot, he really didn't push Russell. His hand was on Russell, yes, but when Jordan stopped on a dime to make the shot, Russell got his ankles broken basically, and caused the illusion that he was pushed. I watched it live, and it seems just like yesterday. Since Jordan left, I really haven't watched much basketball, though I did watch Lebron through the playoffs this year. He is very good, in the ball park of Jordan talent-wise, but here's the difference: Lebron makes mistakes that Jordan never did, such as errant passes, passing when he should continue a drive to the hoop, complaining to a ref while the other team is taking the ball back across the court.
There is Michael Jordan. Then there is everyone else. He did not need the spotlight... he WAS the spotlight.
You should patent this quote, put it on a T-Shirt & sell it!!! Great description of Michael Jeffery Jordan
Phil Jackson talked about this in an interview before. He mentioned how Michael’s jumpshot hadn’t been falling this game, he was letting his hand go early and not following through. So when Bulls called the timeout at 41 seconds, he told michael as soon as you get the ball attack the basket immediately, don’t settle for a shot, then after you score (which I love how Phil was so confident predicting MJ would score), he told Michael that on defense Jazz are gonna run the cross baseline pick to Malone. Phil told MJ to come around and try to see if he can get a strip on the ball. Same play Michael goes down and scores, on a jumpshot I might add, which he makes sure to follow through lol. Crazy how in unison Phil and Mike were, Phil with the awareness and advice for MJ, and of course Michael went out and executed to perfection. Shows how much they both trusted each other.
two brilliant minds synch. its really amazing and inspiring

@@01hZyou’re a walking L bro talking about Lebron 🤣everybody know who the real goat is and he didn’t have to play 10 years longer to stat pad. He didn’t quit the bulls to build build super teams and choke all the finals like Lebron everybody knows who the real goat is mj is the goat lebum is the king king of flopping and choking the finals lol
@@01hZ his only claim is that his career is more sustained
Those last 3 minutes = The real GOAT. Man was everywhere.
I remember watching this like it was yesterday. Like many people, I wanted to see Utah win because Stockton, Malone, Hornacek deserved a championship and the bulls had won so many. But after that final minute, I remember thinking Jordan just wanted it more than those guys. The truly great athletes rise up when the title is on the line-this is one of the best examples.
The Utah Jazz were an incredibly strong team. In the 1998 Playoffs, the Utah Jazz defeated the Lakers 4:0 and the Spurs 4:1. In 1998, the Lakers were the most talented team in the league.
1998 WCF: Jazz vs Lakers ( 4:0 ).
1998 Lakers:
*Shaquille O"Neal- Top 4 in the MVP vote ( 1998 ) and All-star ( 1998 ).*
*Nick Van Exel- All-star ( 1998 ).*
*Kobe Bryant- All-star ( 1998 ).*
*Eddie Jones- All-star ( 1998 ).*
*+Robert Horry, Elden Cambell, Derek Fisher and Rick Fox.*
1998 WCSF: Jazz vs Spurs ( 4:1 ).
1998 Spurs:
*Tim Duncan- Top 5 in the MVP vote ( 1998 ) and All-star ( 1998 ).*
*David Robinson- All-star ( 1998 ).*
if you rly thought jordan wanted it more than those other guys, than i think you`ve never loved ball lol
@@Joe-xv9kd it was Jordan’s steal at around 21 seconds left in the game. Malone had the ball in his hands, in the post, up by one, with the game on the line. He choked. Stockton missed the shot at the end. Jordan seemed to win this game in that last 25 seconds with shear will. I was not rooting for him, but at the time, I thought he just wanted it more. Not that Malone and Stockton didn’t want it bad, Jordan just seemed to want it more. But hey, maybe you’re right, and I should really say “he deserved it more.”
@@slgordon3 nah you were right the first time. It doesn't even come down to that last few plays in that game where it shows who wants it more. Maybe the motivation came from the thought of a legacy standpoint or maybe he felt like people were writing him off at the end of his career. Experience was probably the biggest factor in the last couple of plays and you have to give the credit to MJ for putting in the effort and time into acquiring all the experience he had going into that final minute. I wouldn't say MJ outright wanted it more than anybody in that moment because I'm sure in that moment everyone is peaking in terms of emotions and sheer will. But I'm confident saying MJ spent more time in just that 1 season of having championship mentality than anybody else.
no Jordon didn't want it more the jazz was just the inferior team stop the cap
I love it when at the end of game Steve Kerr hugs Jordan and says “You are f…..g unbelievable” then Phil Jacson hugs him and says “My God that was beautiful! What a finish!” Then other teammates come and thank him. Even his teammates and coach are in awe what he did in the last 3 minutes.

FINALLY!!❤️
ah very intelligent tactics of MJ,,He is a legend.,,IDOL.
But he took that personal LOL
That was beautiful man my favourite moment is when it showed him and Phil hugging
me to
"If that's the last image of Michael Jordan, how magnificent is it?"
They didn't realize decades later it would still be the most iconic image of all time
MJ was dominant offensively and defensively in this game 6 to give Chicago Bulls their 2nd 3 peats. The greatness of MJ should never be questioned by anyone regardless of era.
"There is no 'I' in Team, but there is an 'I' in WIN." - *MICHAEL JORDAN* That last three minutes was all *MICHAEL JORDAN.*
whats crazy too they were all iso
bulls were good role players tho
You're right there isn't an I in team but there is a ME hahaha 😆

with current replay would that game winner be an offensive foul?
To do this in his final game as a bull is just incredible. He played every game in his final three championship years, three full 82 game regular seasons along with three title winning playoff runs. He was head and shoulders above everyone in his era. The term greatness is thrown around too freely these days, but he really was the greatest to ever play the game.

well said
Spot on!
Here is the Original Semitic Text. You Guys NEED to READ This
YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF”
From the Ancient Semitic Scroll:
"Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3)
Ancient Semitic Direct Translation
Yad - "Behold The Hand"
He - "Behold the Breath"
Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
Yup.
Players today have the best peds and STILL take off games lol.
‘That may have been the last shot, Michael Jordan will ever take in the NBA’ Man I can’t even describe the feeling of that commentary. The GOAT of all time and after time.
Only, it was not
@@bonginkosinkosi8546 it was the last shot he took for the Chicago Bulls.
@J G nobody asked lol
@@bonginkosinkosi8546 i mean it kinda was he wasnt as lush on the wizards, and in this game he was tired coming short on his shots so in a sense this was the last Michael Jordan prime GOAT bulls 90s shot, a magical commentary indeed
@J G I hope so, if it means the demise of the NFL with it's concussion culture.
Such a great game....I've got the whole game on Blu-ray along with several others....MJ was so entertaining, every time he stepped onto the court, you knew he was going to do something unexpected....He played like he invented the game.
I've seen many MJ highlights of this kind and I never get tired of watching it. MJ is without a doubt - The GOAT. 😎👍
I watched this live with my dad when I was a kid. I'm was AMAZING to see live. Man, there was no one better under pressure than MJ.
If your life depended on the last shot, would you want Jordan to take it?
@@ron88303 That's an interesting question. If there was a situation where I was forced to put my life on 1 shot, it would be MJ over anyone else. Obviously I'm referring to Jordan in his prime, not as we speak. As my post says, NO ONE is/was better under unfathomable pressure. If anything the pressure seemed to be like fuel for him. It clearly did something to him to bring out the absolute best game he had at the most crucial points in the game.
@@ron88303 depends on what shot. Dunk? Anyone over 7’2. Mid range? MJ. 3pt? Curry/Larry. Logo? Curry/Dame.
Listened to it live with all my friends on a camp out. It still hurts after all these years.
@@Noplayster13 hurts? Were you a Jazz fan? Lol Because I remember this being one of the best nights of my young life.
This is still crazy after all these years. The crazy thing he wasn’t shooting a ball that well but when it mattered most offensively and defensively he was big. Relentless and incredible.
Yeah definitely
Jordans defense especially in the 2nd half of the game is way underrated even now ..he just was a killer everywhere
Time goes by but some things are timeless like watching jordan live in his games
From Russia with love. I watched this game in '98 when I was still a kid
That is awesome. Were you able to watch it in a legal way? I was watching this during my student exchange when i was a student in America from Germany.
@@BionicOne1 I watched it in Russia too. I was 13 years old )
Yes, this final was shown on the russian TV-channel. But I think it was not live. As I remember it was the middle of the day, not the early morning.
@@АлексейДанилов-ы8н Super cool that sports do unite us across the world
I too, watched live, on ICTV, Ukraine.
This game takes me back to my childhood...I was obsessed with the Bulls vs Jazz series...I was lucky to be a kid in the 90s...so many cool memories
Economy was great, no social media, kids played outside, fast food was quality, music was great, air was clean, women were natural. Human quality of life reached it's pinnacle in the 90's.
Malone was a joy to watch, and Jordan was a cult to hate lol
Bulls against Suns was also a highlight of 90s NBA
Too bad I was born early 90s instead of late 80s...
Wish I could of had a couple more years of the old world (pre 911)
Seeing videos like this is great... Hard to believe how much has changed since then
@@mattf9076 broooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo im cryin
This dude was built different. How many players give you chills almost 30 years later.
Nobody gonna talk about the fact that Jordan had 23 first half points and 45 at the end?
It always blew my mind that even numerically his final game as a Bull was so fitting.
His life and career was story book.
he also finished his enshrinement speech within 23 minutes
I remember this game, was a lot younger, but man the good old days. Seeing Jordan play makes you feel younger for those of us who grew up with this. What a time to be alive! The Embrace between Phill Jackson and Jordan, two greats who respect each other and are a force to be reckon with. What a dynasty.
Yeah I remember jordan being tired ass shit this game but pushing threw, and that was a bullshit call on rodman! 🤨🤷🏽♂️
@@dennissmith7214 hahaha ✌️😍
Right dude,what a time to be alive!We watched this even in Serbia and Balkans region..maybe that's why every kid in Serbia played basket outside...
@M Yeah the most popular... But who cares, I dont watch it. Soccer players are the best actors on the planet.
Check out this video and the soccer player called Ronaldo.. Ridiculous..

The greatest if all time !!!!!! MJ PERIOD.....IM SERIOUS
The real legend. Putting the team on his back, defensively and offensively. A masterpiece!
100%, no talk, just action that no one can duplicate
I mean he is the goat but Lebron did carry his team on 2018 but he didn’t beat the warriors but it was as impresive as Jordan carrying this old bulls team
@@TonyMendezPLbj got a lot of help offensively
Jordan in 30 seconds, driving Layup, game changing steal and a finisher mid range shot. the Goat 🐐 🙌🏾
Hello👋
Best 30 second performance ever in a team sport
LEBRON WHO
When LeBron does something like this then I'll consider him in the conversation of the 🐐
@@maneee635 he has? did you not see the block and kyrie draining the 3 to pretty much win the finals? If he didnt get that block its over.
The nba will *never* know peaks like this ever again. Still remarkable after all these years.
Stockton was always ready to draw a charge, beautiful 3-pointer play by the jazz, Rodman's confidence in Jordan free throw, the defense, the heart and of course, the GOAT taking business, man this is art
Everything demonstrated in this last quarter from Jordan: defence, steals, pressure, mental maturity, offence, team work and leadership mixed with an insatiable will to win, players like this come once in a lifetime, he is the greatest basketball player The world has ever seen because he is the complete player. There was even a computer game released in the 90s where the developer decided not to include Michael Jordan as a player you could access because he’d be too good and it would ruin the game lol.
Nobody knows how his mind worked in the last 4 min. Utah was beaten twice !!!
MJ knew he had to take this over and seal the win. They were getting old, they were tired, Pippen re-injured his back & was basically just a decoy the whole game, and MJ knew they wouldn’t win a game 7.
He made three straight HUGE plays & sealed it for them. GOAT.
They would’ve definitely win a game 7 in Chicago but Jordan just didn’t want any finals game 7 in his resume
Luckily the Jazz were also an old team
@@benjaminbritt7862 The Chicago Bulls players were older the Utah Jazz players. Karl Malone- MVP ( 1999 ).

When basketball was EPIC‼️
watched this live a week out of 8th grade - still leaves me in awe 24 years later. others come close, but this is still probably the most clutch, iconic, historically significant couple minutes of individual basketball effort i know of. Phil nailed it afterward - "beautiful"
Crazy, I was a week out of 8th grade too lol
Brother, we lived that same exact life. I was born 7-10-84 and I never cracked 5'7" tall. Still, that man is part of why our generation still believes anything is possible. MJ is greatness, & the fact that it still stands a quarter century later is about more than stats. We got to witness greatness on a level that inspired the soul of humanity. For anyone who does not agree, I wish you could have been there to see it, OR I pity you for continuing to lie to yourself after all this time. MJ is flawed like anyone else, but he was once the pinnacle of human greatness.
I am also on awe. This was the night before my daughter was born.i fell asleep on the floor by the tv. My wife came in later and said...it is time. MJ is the goat!!..
Not even close!!!!
I remember seeing it live as well. Guys yelling through out the Dorm. 🤣
Agree
Michael Jordan playing basketball was poetry in motion. GOAT. I’m grateful to have been alive to see it.
I agree
yep
One layup, one steal, one shot
From the edge of loss to the sixth champion
This is why we called GOAT

Yes exactly. I wonder what MJ's FT avg is in the last 2 mins of games? Has to be high
@@CanuckQuest please 번역 to me
He dictates the pace of the game at the end with pure heart .
i saw that in live thats just the moment in sports!!! i was 9 years old and it still my best for me thx to share
I was born in 94 and never watched mj but seeing the last 3 minutes his defense, offence and ankle breaker there is no question he is the goat
I was born in 94 as well, and I'm not even from USA, but I get emotional watching to moments like this. I guess that era, before 2000s, made a higher appel through media about stars ir something, that makes them look like untoucheble gods. But no quetion people like him were phenomenons in comparison to any time.
I was 13 when I saw this live. Bittersweet moment. Miss those Jordan days
its a different era when basketball is physical and not like today's game. if today's players played by the rules of the old, i am sure the famous top spots would changes.
@@Bersilus I don’t know anything about basketball but can you explain more about it, how did basketball changed as the years went by?
Oh boy i was born in the philippines and i remeber we were in high school and we were 16. 4 of us me and my mate had to excuse to the loo to watch this. We ended up in the principal's office for leaving the class for 30mins.

I miss this Bulls team so much.
Extremely happy that I've seen these amazing guys playing the game until the end of their careers.
Michael Jordan ruined so many other NBA careers .... getting a ring with this guy around in his prime was impossible
According to Dan Costas of NBC Sports he was a Plague in the NBA especially when you're playing in the American Airlines Arena.

This is the standard by which we measure GREATENESS. A fearless assassin, a dream killer, hate him or love him but you cannot get rid of him.
Notice how Rodman helped Stockton get up after falling down. Great sportsmanship!

@@joshuayangg well hes being kind with someone we know was kind too
Such a different style of game back then. Points were so hard to come by. Every basket was worth so much more.
More physical and defensive, they finished exhausted.
Players actually took pride in defense.
Less traveling which bailed out the offense.
This iconic performance in his last game as a Bull cemented MJ's place as the GOAT.
TB12 minus 1, tho. A beast nevertheless.
