@Lisa Rose Yes, 22-years have passed since JORDAN won his 6th Title. Basketball was not in its infancy in the JORDAN era. Basketball for over a hundred years. There is also such a think as degradation. New, modern is not necessarily better.- Bernard Hopkins at the age of 50 he became world champion and defeated young boxers. Players from the 90s, even after they got older, still played at a star level in the era of Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, T-MAC, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Dirk Nowitzki and Vince Carter. For example: *Karl Malone ( age 39 ) in the 2002/03 season: 20- 8- 4, FG-46%.* *John Stockton ( age 39 ) in the 2001/02 season:15- 4- 8, FG-51%.* *Gary Payton ( age 30-34 )- 4x All-star ( 2000-2003 ).* *3x All-Defensive First Team ( 2000-2002 ).* *Dikembe Mutombo ( age 35 )- Defensive Player of the Year ( 2001 ).* *3x All-star ( 2000-2002 ), 2x Rebounding Leader ( 2000, 2001 ).* 2001 ECFR: *6"7 Reggie Miller ( age 35 )= 31-ppg. FG-45%. 3P-43%. FT-91%.* 35-years-old Reggie Miller ( SG ) outplayed Prime Allen Iverson ( SG ). 2000 Playoffs: Reggie Miller ( age 34 ) outplayed players like Ray Allen ( SG ), Allen Iverson ( SG ) and Kobe Bryant ( SG ). *7"1 Shaquille O"Neal ( Player from the 90s ) dominated the 2000s.* *Kevin Garnett ( 1995-1999 ), Rasheed Wallace ( 1995-1999 ), Michael Finley ( 1995-1999 ).* *Allen Iverson ( 1996-1999 ), Kobe Bryant ( 1996-1999 ), Ray Allen ( 1996-1999 ).* *Jason Kidd ( 1994-1999 ), Glenn Robinson ( 1994-1999 ), Jerry Stackhouse ( 1995-1999 ).* All of these players played in the 90s. And none of them dominated the weak 90s.
Iversons only weakness was his height. He had to do extra work to get a shot in especially over taller players. But what he lost in height, he gained in stamina and agility. Boy did he ever have iron lungs!!
His height wasn't his weakness, his weakness was not being able to make his team better. It's cool to be great but if you don't help your team improve you'll be playing hard just for stats and not a chip like Jordan.

Yeah for sure bro nobody plays defense in today's league so it would be way easier for him to thrive he's only like 6"0 and playing with 6"6 players against him
JonnyEuphonicMuzic hed be great in todays game with more bigs stretching the floor with their shooting and utilizing the 0 step like james harden. His first step was underated
Mike loved A.I. just as much as he loved Kobe that 96 draft had 2 of the GREATEST scorers of all time can easily make an argument as a top 3 draft class ever
I agree, and I'm a huge Jordan fan, but that 96 draft class in my opinion is the best. Full of talent, Kobe, Iverson, Ray Allen, Steve Nash, Shareef abdur Rahim, Marcus camby, Steph marbury, peja stojakovic, Jermaine O'Neal, vitaly potapenko ok I went to far with that one
84, 96, 03 drafts in no particular order are best classes ever...17 draft class wit fox, Tatum, few other youngins still has potential but doubt any hof's cept maybe Tatum but still has potential for deep draft as far as multiple NBA contributers for decade plus

Cha Ching yeah the officiating style has completely killed the entertainment. It’s a shame too, since the athleticism and competition has gotten immensely better, as it tends to over time.
@chicagoallday in this world buddy. you clearly don't know basketball of you would be able to see that in todays game the skill level has increased a ton, compared to back then when there was only a handful of really talented players. that's facts
@@freerideskiing1 You the only one lying you BOZO. You must be out ya mind. Today's players are no where near as talented. These dudes would of been no name bench riders back during this time foh.
I know Iverson puts new players over himself a lot, its just who he is as a great person, but I love watching him play, his handles are the best to ever be in the league. He is just too fast, there are way too many times just in this game where he just splits 2 defenders, or evades multiple guys. The best highlights I've seen in the last 10 years, just seem like any other day with Iverson. And there has been some great plays in the last 10 years.
Hate to say this coz I like AI, they could have had at least a chance in winning a championship against LA if somebody just did his job... Man mutombo against Shaq!!! I don’t know what they were thinkin... everything after 2006 was forgettable. The moment he left Philly, had the feeling that’s it for him.. and I was right
I shudder at how often Iverson would get to the rim today's game with his impossible quickness and the extra 3rd (sometimes 5th step) they don't call in today's NBA.
Iverson is the second most iconic player of all time behind MJ. No one has challenged all these legends all by himself like AI did. Plus he faced jail & racism at early age. If only he was mentored well and supported by the nba community instead of judgement...
In today’s game, over half of these plays would be called a foul. Really diminishes the performances of players like James Harden who thrive on ticky tack calls
Brew J Brew J Lol. I actually don’t watch any sports news sources for that very reason. All thoughts are thru my own observations. We can play 1 on 1 anytime tho if you think u know more ball than me.
J Frecks if you can’t come with any facts about fouls and foul out percentages being the same or lower in the past 5 years than compared to 10-15 years ago, stay yo “dat day” lookin ass in ur own lane.
@@slashbxe2832 bc MJ is the example Klay learned that strategy from. Jordan 40pts was better than Klays if we're putting the stat into context. Difference of quality is Jordan was the focus of the defense as 1st option in the game plan, Klay on the other hand was not the focus of the other teams defense, but Kevin Durant & Stephenson Curry was the game plan giving Klay wide open shots all night which he didn't need to dribble, would have been a fool to if he did put the ball on the floor. Michael Jordan didn't have that luxury! But no worries, you won't ever see that again from Klay bc now he's gon to have to put the ball on the floor!
@@blackpeoplespeaks klay is not a play maker and thats why he mainly wide open and gets in easy shots i understand jordans was harder but idk why that guy is mention lebron
@@malikholmes5045 What? So he couldnt lead the league in scoring without scottie? No rookie of the year without scottie? Average 30 a game without Scottie? Be called God in sneakers by Larry Bird without Scottie? Scottie would have never been the player he was without Jordan. Jordan has the highest basketball IQ. Where do you think Scottie learned everything from? He had to play against Jordan in everyday. That made Scottie. Jordan came into the league a beast. Scottie did not.
@@javoncook2441 niggas is wylin wild right now sayin Scottie had a high bball IQ. He showed that he was definitely not number 1 when Jordan took that season off
One thing stands out like a sore thumb about this clip. Look how much tougher the league was. They didnt call a foul everytime someone gets breath blown on them. It's so lame and weak today
@@papito5ft6 dont know how you came up with that conclusion, but realize this. Watch the 80s and 90s games. Yes they was alot more aggressive and just plain violent. The disrespect and harshness was so the game. You can even watch some games, like example Bulls vs Knick 92 playoffs. And tell me one player from now, who could compete. Come back to me when you finish the videos.
Great game! I’d have to say: even MJ’s greatness was somewhat outclassed by Iverson in this one. He’s such a jitterbug, an amazing ballhandler, amazing finisher, tough, with a good jumpshot to boot!
Lol you can see the unrest and malaise in the crowd that the kid is good. No one is denying MJ’s dominance and alpha presence on the court throughout the course of his career. The greatest. This was one of the first occurrences of someone with enough weight of their own to steal some of the limelight. At the time, 7’0 Olajuwon was on the decline, and Shaq was the obvious incumbent. Here we are seeing someone with the competitive flame to be a challenger to his airness .
Jordan's 3 at the end of the third with that amazing pass from Scottie! Jordan was consistently clutch and always a showman! ❤ A.I. is no slouch! He put up a hell of a fight against the dominant '97 Bulls and a dominant MJ! This is back when teams played defense and had tight man to man coverage! Love 90s Ball so freakin much!
They banned his crossover and basically robbed the fans off future anklebreakers but they let lebron stiff arm people and push off everytime he goes to the basket
The man brought a good taste for dribbling and crossovers as an attacking element. how cool it was that this little man slipped through the defense, between two players...like a knife through butter. Perfect timing. He was drawing lace on the site. True basketball art. And only then the system of fast dribbling, crossover and shooting was passed on to modern players. But Iverson is the beginning!
6:02-6:05 love how MJ is controlling the ball bouncing it. I remember he's done sth like that even in much more difficult situation in the Finals against Sonics, diving for the ball against few opponents, completely off balance but still trying to bounce the ball and control it, so fundamental even in the most difficult situations on the court - simply unbelievable; 1 of many moments when you recognize the real GOAT of basketball.
My built in 2k player is not even as good as AI, he was one of the mini goats for real - along with Earl Manigault, Nate Archibald, Calvin Murphy, Isiah Thomas + John Stockton;
I watched every Bull game possible. 9 times out of 10 Jordan was a highlight for ESPN all the time. His bad games would be still be a really good game.
Kobe said it best they better be lucky Iverson wasn’t 6”6
Yeah and imagine Jordan at 7'0 whoa...
Conflicto Kobe is way better bro you tripping

@Lisa Rose Yes, 22-years have passed since JORDAN won his 6th Title.
Basketball was not in its infancy in the JORDAN era. Basketball for over a hundred years.
There is also such a think as degradation.
New, modern is not necessarily better.- Bernard Hopkins at the age of 50 he became world champion and defeated young boxers.
Players from the 90s, even after they got older, still played at a star level in the era of Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan,

*John Stockton ( age 39 ) in the 2001/02 season:15- 4- 8, FG-51%.*
*Gary Payton ( age 30-34 )- 4x All-star ( 2000-2003 ).*
*3x All-Defensive First Team ( 2000-2002 ).*
*Dikembe Mutombo ( age 35 )- Defensive Player of the Year ( 2001 ).*
*3x All-star ( 2000-2002 ), 2x Rebounding Leader ( 2000, 2001 ).*
2001 ECFR:
*6"7 Reggie Miller ( age 35 )= 31-ppg. FG-45%. 3P-43%. FT-91%.*
35-years-old Reggie Miller ( SG ) outplayed Prime Allen Iverson ( SG ).
2000 Playoffs:
Reggie Miller ( age 34 ) outplayed players like Ray Allen ( SG ), Allen Iverson ( SG ) and Kobe Bryant ( SG ).
*7"1 Shaquille O"Neal ( Player from the 90s ) dominated the 2000s.*
*Kevin Garnett ( 1995-1999 ), Rasheed Wallace ( 1995-1999 ), Michael Finley ( 1995-1999 ).*
*Allen Iverson ( 1996-1999 ), Kobe Bryant ( 1996-1999 ), Ray Allen ( 1996-1999 ).*
*Jason Kidd ( 1994-1999 ), Glenn Robinson ( 1994-1999 ), Jerry Stackhouse ( 1995-1999 ).*
All of these players played in the 90s. And none of them dominated the weak 90s.

@@glennrobinson4176 u dumb asl 90s player don’t have the skill majority of them can’t even dribble the ball they wouldn’t even be a bench player
Yeah for sure bro nobody plays defense in today's league so it would be way easier for him to thrive he's only like 6"0 and playing with 6"6 players against him
He's not even top 25 on the scoring list and going down lol over rated no rings and a ball hog with a carrying ass cross
6:54 & 8:15 Wow...Thank you for this video!! 2 of the GOATS Jordan & Iverson
JonnyEuphonicMuzic hed be great in todays game with more bigs stretching the floor with their shooting and utilizing the 0 step like james harden. His first step was underated
The GOAT resting in the 4th Q like the real GOAT without thinking about meaningless stats.
Still very good stats about 55% fg inclusive 3 pointers and 2 blocks.
"Meaningless stats" He could've been the greatest scorer of all time. History is never meaningless.
@@soullessSiIence he said in interviews he didnt care about that
That’s how true goats load manage. End the game early.
Something Kobe did alot in his prime
Thanks for uploading with good quality. 90s bulls was of NBA's the golden era.
Still till this day my fav. Best point guard of my time hands down. Crossover perfectionist.
AI's crossover is still the best i had ever seen
real talk
Me 2
AI is my favorite player all time, but Jamal Crawford and Kyrie Irving have better crossovers than AI had. But AI still top 3 in crossovers.
Tim hardaway
@@6ixspeedstang186 in this era no one could touch ai cross overs now ur right so many better people
The GOAT and the Small GOAT
I knew that Jordan was gonna get his revenge on that big man who blocked him. That was already personal. He indeed blocked the big man as well
Mike loved A.I. just as much as he loved Kobe that 96 draft had 2 of the GREATEST scorers of all time can easily make an argument as a top 3 draft class ever
I agree, and I'm a huge Jordan fan, but that 96 draft class in my opinion is the best. Full of talent, Kobe, Iverson, Ray Allen, Steve Nash, Shareef abdur Rahim, Marcus camby, Steph marbury, peja stojakovic, Jermaine O'Neal, vitaly potapenko ok I went to far with that one
84, 96, 03 drafts in no particular order are best classes ever...17 draft class wit fox, Tatum, few other youngins still has potential but doubt any hof's cept maybe Tatum but still has potential for deep draft as far as multiple NBA contributers for decade plus
@@troyj881 I definitely agree top 3 ever but honorable mention in my opinion is that 98 draft Dirk, Pierce, Vincanity, Jamison, Bibby, J-Will, Rashard Lewis, Al Harrington etc 3 for sure Hall Of Famers
@@robertwilson9528 LMAO FACTS! & although he isn't a Hall Of Famer but don't forget about D Fish every championship the late great Kobe won that man was right beside him in the back court he was TECHNICALLY the Lakers 1st draft pick that year
@@qceaz11 very good point indeed. People overlook guys like him. They r glue guys that u need to win with
That crossover so genuine and original
9:06 even MJ had to give A.I his props
🤜🏾🤛🏿
At the 1:07 mark, Ron Harper got hit with a NASTY CROSSOVER by Iverson!!
I peeped that
Facts 😂
Was looking for someone to comment on that ... what's nice about it is he didnt take so many dribbles to pull off that crossover, guys like harden and kyrie today take ages on the ball almost every possession before they finally hit their move
If Lebron had Iverson's heart he would have won 9 straight finals
Agreed
& still suck
I just turned 14 yrs old again watching that . I remember it like yesterday.
07:00 GOAT MJ 💪
amazing, were bound to watch these plays forever and ever as a player like him will never walk this earth again
Just seeing that lemme know...if Jordan needed to shoot 3s to adapt to this day and age...he would easily average 40...easily
@Charlie Trit unless he bricked it
@Charlie Trit a simple google search will tell you that MJ shot better than Kobe. MJ shot 49% and Kobe 45%
@Charlie Trit I was going by true field goal percentage. Also look at this www.google.com/amp/s/syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/1749229-is-michael-jordan-the-greatest-perimeter-post-player-of-all-time.amp.html
Allen Iverson was just a flat out BEAST!! i mean this guy went at the whole damn TEAM!! and kept coming.
This was when the NBA was good! It's no where near as good now a days.
Cha Ching yeah the officiating style has completely killed the entertainment. It’s a shame too, since the athleticism and competition has gotten immensely better, as it tends to over time.
@chicagoallday in this world buddy. you clearly don't know basketball of you would be able to see that in todays game the skill level has increased a ton, compared to back then when there was only a handful of really talented players. that's facts
stop lying to yourself.
@chicagoallday right lol..these dudes playing now a days would of been on the bench back during this time...FINACTS.
@@freerideskiing1 You the only one lying you BOZO. You must be out ya mind. Today's players are no where near as talented. These dudes would of been no name bench riders back during this time foh.
I know Iverson puts new players over himself a lot, its just who he is as a great person, but I love watching him play, his handles are the best to ever be in the league. He is just too fast, there are way too many times just in this game where he just splits 2 defenders, or evades multiple guys. The best highlights I've seen in the last 10 years, just seem like any other day with Iverson. And there has been some great plays in the last 10 years.
That crossover is still the best in town!
Hate to say this coz I like AI, they could have had at least a chance in winning a championship against LA if somebody just did his job... Man mutombo against Shaq!!! I don’t know what they were thinkin... everything after 2006 was forgettable. The moment he left Philly, had the feeling that’s it for him.. and I was right
@@Dgamemaster2007 nobody was beating the lakers that year
@@Dgamemaster2007 philly and Iverson were just happy they didnt get swept like everybody else in the playoffs
@@henrymartinez9292 you're right......NOBODY!!!!
@@henrymartinez9292 we (Lakers), woulda been only team in the post season to not have a loss if Iverson didn't go slam off for 48pts in game 1!!!😐
8:14 Iversion didnt need to be 6"6 he was just as dangerous as any kobe ,jordan,type players!
8:15 daaamnnn 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dean Snipah he badass
Sick
Legendary
:3
🔥🥵
I don’t think basketball will ever get this good again.
8:52 Taking a shoot with 2 seconds left, with +23 points lead. If this happen in today's game they will consider that offensive :D
Man Iverson was such a great player but doesn't seem to get enough credit or respect...one of my favorite players....oh MJ is too
I shudder at how often Iverson would get to the rim today's game with his impossible quickness and the extra 3rd (sometimes 5th step) they don't call in today's NBA.
Kyrie cant touch Allen lverson please?
@@seanfelder3977 Kyrie has better handles. Not as quick as AI
Iverson is the second most iconic player of all time behind MJ. No one has challenged all these legends all by himself like AI did. Plus he faced jail & racism at early age. If only he was mentored well and supported by the nba community instead of judgement...
Imagine if hand checking didn’t exist back then. Ai would’ve dropping 40 on every defender that crossed his path.
He did that anyway😂
It did exist. Started in 94
Handchecking is overrated, he was doing it while it was in the game lol.
The audio engineer for this game killed it. Net and court sounds are crisp af
7:00 is why he is the goat 🐐
In today’s game, over half of these plays would be called a foul. Really diminishes the performances of players like James Harden who thrive on ticky tack calls
Brew J he kno dat dey aint blowin dat dumb ass whistle after ever play fukk outta here wit ya stupid ass comment
Darmal Sarhang you right. A few plays Iverson was hit after the shot and there was no call.
Brew J Brew J Lol. I actually don’t watch any sports news sources for that very reason. All thoughts are thru my own observations. We can play 1 on 1 anytime tho if you think u know more ball than me.
J Frecks bro is that an AD jersey? 😂
J Frecks if you can’t come with any facts about fouls and foul out percentages being the same or lower in the past 5 years than compared to 10-15 years ago, stay yo “dat day” lookin ass in ur own lane.
Iverson was such a great player for the league. Love that guy.
Count how many dribbles MJ took. His game was pure precision in the 90s. He could get 40 on 11 dribbles. Lebron has to pound the ball into oblivion.
Why do you need to talk about Lebron ? Just stay with Jordan
@@evelinekambu4133 you sensitive bihh
Cos he’s a pg and a pass first player and why don’t u mention clay he dropped 60 in 29 minutes with 11 dribbles
@@slashbxe2832 bc MJ is the example Klay learned that strategy from. Jordan 40pts was better than Klays if we're putting the stat into context. Difference of quality is Jordan was the focus of the defense as 1st option in the game plan, Klay on the other hand was not the focus of the other teams defense, but Kevin Durant & Stephenson Curry was the game plan giving Klay wide open shots all night which he didn't need to dribble, would have been a fool to if he did put the ball on the floor. Michael Jordan didn't have that luxury! But no worries, you won't ever see that again from Klay bc now he's gon to have to put the ball on the floor!
@@blackpeoplespeaks klay is not a play maker and thats why he mainly wide open and gets in easy shots i understand jordans was harder but idk why that guy is mention lebron
Jordan didn't even have to set up to hit that shot at the buzzer. That pass from Scottie though. Classic!
Scottie threw that all finesse, clutch players no hype needed 👊
Jordan could never be who he was without Scottie's basketball IQ!!!! Jordan and Pippen really goes hand in hand
Malik Holmes the best 1-2 since ham & cheese 😂
@@malikholmes5045 What? So he couldnt lead the league in scoring without scottie? No rookie of the year without scottie? Average 30 a game without Scottie? Be called God in sneakers by Larry Bird without Scottie? Scottie would have never been the player he was without Jordan. Jordan has the highest basketball IQ. Where do you think Scottie learned everything from? He had to play against Jordan in everyday. That made Scottie. Jordan came into the league a beast. Scottie did not.
@@javoncook2441 niggas is wylin wild right now sayin Scottie had a high bball IQ. He showed that he was definitely not number 1 when Jordan took that season off
They should have traded jerry stackhouse immediately after this game smh
turbobenx he didn’t even want to play next to iverson too smh jerry told sixers to trade him cus iverson gets too many touches. Dude was selfish asf
8:16 my god, man!
It's just a pleasure to watch AI - He was just lighting fast 2:04 - a total joy to watch in motion. Nothing like ever since
I see there was a couple of sightings of the GOAT Jerry “Jordan held me back” Stackhouse 😂😂😂
Jerry CRACKhouse.....
thats too funny, when Stackhouse said he felt Jordan held him back, yet Stackhouse was leading scorer when he and Jordan was playing for the Wizards
@@macanthony1982 40% FG, 29% 3pt on 17 shots
One thing stands out like a sore thumb about this clip. Look how much tougher the league was. They didnt call a foul everytime someone gets breath blown on them. It's so lame and weak today
Bet you stopped watching right?
@@papito5ft6 I did
@@toriwilliams500 then you have as much idea about the current NBA as the younger generation has about MJ...
@@papito5ft6 dont know how you came up with that conclusion, but realize this. Watch the 80s and 90s games. Yes they was alot more aggressive and just plain violent. The disrespect and harshness was so the game. You can even watch some games, like example Bulls vs Knick 92 playoffs. And tell me one player from now, who could compete. Come back to me when you finish the videos.
How tough really was it. This game is equivalent to today's game.
What a shot from.MJ at the end of the third quarter
The jumper forms in this era were great. Everybody had a hitch.
"Bulls Got No ANSWER for AI" b/c they already answered the rest of the Sixers. lol
Great game! I’d have to say: even MJ’s greatness was somewhat outclassed by Iverson in this one. He’s such a jitterbug, an amazing ballhandler, amazing finisher, tough, with a good jumpshot to boot!
Did you not see that catch and shoot by Mike at the end of the 3rd quarter 🤔
@@nariisabk372 that had nothing to do with what he said
Lol you can see the unrest and malaise in the crowd that the kid is good. No one is denying MJ’s dominance and alpha presence on the court throughout the course of his career. The greatest. This was one of the first occurrences of someone with enough weight of their own to steal some of the limelight. At the time, 7’0 Olajuwon was on the decline, and Shaq was the obvious incumbent. Here we are seeing someone with the competitive flame to be a challenger to his airness .
Best MJ ever.
Iverson got the most letal crossover that nobody seen ever
7:00 long live MJ
Most Lakers fans remember A.I. stepping over Tyronn Lue in the 2001 Finals
Bruh even the casuals knows about that
Fuck that got to do with the video
MJ always gone be the best ever in my eyes lol
Yeah, he is the 🐐
Prime Dwade, prime Allen Iverson and prime Drose were fearless and a special group of players that had more Heart than most players in the league.
Jordan's 3 at the end of the third with that amazing pass from Scottie! Jordan was consistently clutch and always a showman! ❤
A.I. is no slouch! He put up a hell of a fight against the dominant '97 Bulls and a dominant MJ!
This is back when teams played defense and had tight man to man coverage! Love 90s Ball so freakin much!
They banned his crossover and basically robbed the fans off future anklebreakers but they let lebron stiff arm people and push off everytime he goes to the basket
Why did they ban it ?
@@adarsh5870 they said he was basically carrying but named it palming for his signature crossover the league hated Iverson cuz he was a rebel
@@bronxbully6261 that's sad, almost all players do that, especially one with bigger hands they often get their hands under the ball
Dumb
bronx bully and Hardens travel
What a game, what an opposition !!! I have to acknowledge Iverson was a great player
Pound for pound Iverson is the Goat!!! Small frame bigger game!!
7:02 man that shot was lit.
The man brought a good taste for dribbling and crossovers as an attacking element.
how cool it was that this little man slipped through the defense, between two players...like a knife through butter. Perfect timing.
He was drawing lace on the site. True basketball art. And only then the system of fast dribbling, crossover and shooting was passed on to modern players. But Iverson is the beginning!
6:02-6:05 love how MJ is controlling the ball bouncing it. I remember he's done sth like that even in much more difficult situation in the Finals against Sonics, diving for the ball against few opponents, completely off balance but still trying to bounce the ball and control it, so fundamental even in the most difficult situations on the court - simply unbelievable; 1 of many moments when you recognize the real GOAT of basketball.
@Tod Wilkinson ruclips.net/video/eaXQ0ufDdsY/видео.html
Bro💀 he’s just dribbling the ball
The d riding is crazy
replay 6:16 for 100 times still cannot see how MJ did that... It's magic
Hall of fame pick pocket, active hands badge
Those steals and blocks tho by Jordan, damN!
Jordan got blocked on that attempt dunk leading to a.i. dunk
This is going to sound nerdy, but I love the way the court was mic'd back then. Just sounds beautiful. Ahhhh
1:07 Nobody including MJ could handle that Xover 💯💰💰💰
I think the bulls answered with the dub. Man I miss those days in the NBA. Can’t Mike come back just one mo? Imagine Mike and AI on the same team.
My built in 2k player is not even as good as AI, he was one of the mini goats for real - along with Earl Manigault, Nate Archibald, Calvin Murphy, Isiah Thomas + John Stockton;
Ummm everyone else is fine but Jason Kidd was not mini lol he was a big guard 6’4 205 pounds lmao that ain’t mini

可惜他們倆不是對位攻防，看不到喬丹的綜合技術和艾弗森的絕對速度的對決。第三節末喬丹的轉身壓哨三分太帥了，在一秒鐘跳起接球轉身跳投命中一氣呵成，還極具美感，這技術，這控制力，神奇。
“Sometimes I dream that he is ME”
Damn! That inbounds play to end the 3rd was incredible!
Amazing!!! Thank you for uploading!! Never seen this before!!!! Thx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2:40 one of the rare stuff of a jordan dunk attempt... don't recall seeing this before in all my mj viewings
I watched every Bull game possible. 9 times out of 10 Jordan was a highlight for ESPN all the time. His bad games would be still be a really good game.
A lot of teams didn't have the answer for A.I
The G.O.A.T and The Answer..The defense was tight in those, I now know why they say it's a soft era
That MJ blocks and the MJ shot at the end of the third quarter. HIGH QUALITY
God MJ’s mid range is so clean bro
he is the best mid range and sec is KD i guess
@@lilllii2364 Carmelo***

When did he say that? never would the GOAT say that.
