Michael Jordan 1993: 64 pts Vs. Shaq & Orlando Magic
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 окт 2024
- MJ welcomed Shaq's first visit to Chicago with one of his classic statement games. Shaq's fanfare as the next great player meant MJ had to assert his supreme dominance yet again. Having an injured shooting wrist, MJ practiced lefty jumpers before the game. But as usual, an injured MJ was usually a deadlier MJ and he broke 60 points without needing a three because his already unmatchable mid-range game was raised to absurd proportions. Unfortunately for MJ, with the game close and going to OT, Horace Grant committed a crucial turnover in the last minute which made his performance go to waste. But the statement was made.
64 points for Jordan, No press release, no big splash, no major excitement, no chest bumping.....Just a whatever game for Jordan. lol
Another Great Game Indeed For M.J. But Thee Magic still won thee game nonetheless, in which is more likely most important.
@@bettycoffman6159 And The Bulls still won the championship. What's your point?
@@Wis_Dom Thee Bulls winning Thee Championship that year has nothing to do with M.J. & his Bulls losing this game, despite him scoring 64 points. This is one more than his epic game against the Boston Celtics that year in thee 1986 Play-offs. Then just to add insult to injury, Thee Orlando Magic creamed Thee Chicago Bulls in the 1995 play-offs.
@@bettycoffman6159 And The Bulls still won the championship that year. What's your point? You are triggered by an 8 YEAR OLD COMMENT. 🤣🤣🤣
Jordan, Shaq and Sir Charles were the 3 most exciting players to watch in 1993
Yes sir! Chuck was ballin his behind off that year. He most definitely deserved the MVP. But MJs performance in the finals that year was insane.
and Scottie Pippen.
ever heard of Craig Ehlo?
this man scored 64 points with an injury on his shooting arm, simply amazing
After seeing MJ in his prime, Lebron would just be another victim,,,,,,
its amazing...alot of these games where he scores huge numbers come in games just after injuries, while he is hurt, when people say he is in a slump......it speaks to his sheer will to show he will not and cannot be stopped
LOVE watching classic of OLD SCHOOL of the NBA
Let these kids know ...mj is greatest or all .
Oubjm
Booker scored 70 points he's clearly better
imagine if Jordan took more 3's? He would of scored 90 at least once, scored 80 and 70 many times. MJ sat out many 4th Qts too
3 points wasn’t his game. He was a mid range assassin. Of course he was wet behind the arc but he wasn’t a 3 point shooter like Ray Ray. Kobe was the same way.
@@guccimane3731 oh he could hit the 3, he just didn’t have to, look to Portland in the finals
It kinda makes me mad the games that mj and Kobe didn't play 4th quarter when they could been chasing wilts 100.
MJ scored 64 points, mostly on mid range jump shot. Incredible.
There was,and is currently no one who could take a game over as consistently as MJ.The best ever hands down!!!And remember the day when it was only one sneaker that you wanted"Air jordan"...
MJ had the most beautiful midrange jumper in the game!
Vintage Jordan domination with some vintage black tornado. Other than the quality awesome vid
no freaking way Kobe is better then Jordan . only people who say that is the Damn Pepsi generation . if u didn't grow up in that time then you will never know how great he was. he was even better when he came back from retirement . Jordan would prolly be number 1 on the points list if he never retired the 1st go round. besides where's kobes 50 plus games in the playoffs ? lol
kobe is to basketball what Nerf is to football. you know when a guy is the GOAT when all you have to do is write his initials and everybody automatically knows who you're talking about: MJ
For years I've been wondering which game I saw MJ practicing lefthanded jumpers before. Thanks for finally answering that damn question, lol.
What Michael did on the court that night was as much of a masterpiece as anything you'll find at the Louvre!
Jordan was a god on the court. My favorite player of all time is Bird, and I put Jordan above him in terms of sheer talent and dominance. I always felt, especially after he came back from a second retirement and still dominated, that he is a very special person like Mozart or Da Vinci. We will never see another Jordan as long as we live.
Stop and consider the fact that he hardly shot any threes.
Lets see Curry or Thompson do that.
Drew Filson If they can make 3s them why wouldn't they take them...
panthersfantre You're right, they should stick to what they're good at. But, it's still impressive to see the rare player like MJ who can put up 50 and 60 point games without relying on 3's.. Jordan is the only player I've seen who could score more than 50 points on 70% shooting from the field.
Drew Filson
durant my good friend... hes the second. but not without 3s i guess
+Christian Flores true, Ol Kareem would have something to say about it but he wasn't a volume shooter like Jordan. Mostly dunks and hook shots. Mike attacked from all over, and being a SG you would think he'd have to jack up a lot of shots, but not the case with MJ.
Because he is able to drive and dunk, i think it overshadows the fact that he is probably one of the best shooter ever.
Mike was amazing, Unmatched in his ability. He would average 40+ points a game today.
Hands down, Michael Jordan was simply the greatest athlete, competitor, champion, to ever play ANY sport, ever in the history of the planet, EVER! And he was thrilling, fascinating, unbelievable and show stopping to watch the entire time he did it. Nobody ever dominated their sport like that and put on such a show doing it, ever, period. Even his fellow opponents and teammates were IN AWE of him when they played - watch some of his highlights; opponents & teammates look like deer in headlights!
Mike went off on shaq & the Magic that night! 64 points!
First guard to dominate the ball and win games, this is the break down of team play. Jordan was a new era of basketball
id say Shawn Kemp was also exciting to watch in the early 90s
How many dunks?...barely any. MJ could shoot AND drive.
If LeBron shot this many jumpers....he'd struggle to score 20
nba finals 2015
+Good Man why about them?....he scored a lot....and shot a lot....and missed a lot of jumpers.
+bizboy5 that's my point...you were right!
It's been the major under stated part of his game. He was the greatest 21 foot and in shooter of all time. Some were better deep but I think thsts only bc he didn't bother to perfect that part bc he didn't need to.
0:09
WHO? has a triple double the night before and then plays 47 minutes off a back to back with 64pts the next night?
WHO?! if there's a player show him to me , especially a perimeter player
Dynomite this man is incredible he was doing this almost 30 plus years ago. You'll miss out this guy is from my generation he made watching NBA phenomenal he is the baddest cat that laced up a pair of sneakers
How on Earth can people say Kobe Bryant is a better shooter than MJ? I'm in my 40's - I watched Jordan. Even when he scored 37 PPG in 87, 22 or 24 of them were off of jumpers, and he's a career 50% FG. End of discussion.
Kobe is. He's better from outside, and while it's obvious he modeled his game after Jordan, his post work is also better than Jordan. Jordan was the better player, but Kobe is a better shooter. You have to take into account the different defensive rules as well.
Marcus Jiles MJ's post work is almost Hakeem-Worthy. It's not like Kobe is a scrub, he just ain't Mike when it comes to post work. Kobe is an amazing scorer with better range, but MJ's array of moves is what separates him. I've seen him do so many different things on the way to 64 points in this video.
Marcus Jiles MJ had arguably the best mid-range game of all-time. While Kobe is definitely the better pure-shooter, his post-game is nothing compared to Jordan's. MJ could score from the post on anybody.
MJ CREATED KOBE IF IT WANT FOR MJ I DONT EVEN THINK KOBE WOULD HAVE BEN A SUPERSTAR A STAR BUT NOT SUPERSTAR HAVE U NOTICE KOBE DOES EVERYTHING MJ DO
Marcus Jiles
"his post work is also better than Jordan"
I don't know whether to laugh at you dumb kobetards, or feel sorry for your obvious stupidity.
Pay attention kiddo and learn something.
1st Point of Reference:
"Jordan was the type who'd [get position] in the [post] and [hold it]. He's one of the [greatest] post weapons in the [history] of the game, despite the fact he wasn't a post player. He was a great post-up scorer. Kobe just [doesn’t quite] have the same [strength] or [center of gravity]. He's a fine post-up player, but gets [shoved off] the block [a lot easier] than Michael [ever did].”
-- Tex Winter, creator of the Triangle Offense: "MJ: The Life"; by Roland Lazenby, 2011
2nd Point of Reference:
"Michael's [interior game] was probably [par none]. There's [nobody] that's [ever] been a better [inside player] at his level, in this game. And that's [including Oscar], who was very good down in the low post too"
-- Phil Jackson
Phil Jackson compares Jordan and Kobe (2008)
We love Micheal Jordan And Shaquil O'neil. Great basket ball players!
49 shot attempts!! Yeeesh. Jordan had supreme energy levels.
Thank you for that post and description!
Nobody was even half the scorer or perimeter shooting as Jordan!
Tell that to Kareem and Kobe. One's a doppelganger and the other is the greatest scorer ever. Stop being disrespectful.
SuperSaleen01 Jordan scoring average 30.1, Kareem's 24.6, Kobe's 25.5 ppg. hmmm now which one is better? And Jordan on the Bulls was 31.5. I know you young kids suck at math these days, but which one is the bigger number. Come on I now you can figure it out. Use a calculator if you have to.
+joe momma figure this Wilt Chamberlain averaged 30.1ppg. Figure this Kareem has 38,387 and Kobe has 32,284 that's 8 away from passing Jordan. That's the all-time SCORING LIST. Besides Wilt did what he did in less time than Jordan. I'm a basketball genius . Next
But he also didn't win as many championships as Jordan. Jordan could have kept doing what he was in his first few years, and had a career average of like 35 ppg if he wanted. But he wouldn't have won as many championships.
joe momma Who are you talking about?
I remember this game great performance by the great MJ!
shaqpopcorn34 selfish enough to go 6 for 6 in the finals and jack up 49 shots while making over 55 percent of them lebron would be scared to put up 30 shots because it would hurt his percentage because you can't get 30 wide open fast break dunks and ally oops.
lmao right, let him be a dumbass
Great video thanks! Makes me miss the greatest NBA player of all time! I even love the old graphics on the screen. Reminds me of when i bought E.A video games and i'd pick the Bulls and either he wasn't on the the team or he was #23....Every play ran thru him...
And Kobe is a better shooter than Jordan? LOL
*****
Kobe 33% 3pt FG, Jordan 32% FG. 1% difference means nothing to me.
***** 1%.. 3000 more 3's but can't even make 6 in the big stage where it matters the most. MJ showed everyone he can make 3's with the best of them, but he chose to be more efficient that's all. That's why MJ is the better shooter.
Niczer0 Yeah that's pretty bad for Kobe if you think about it. 3000 more and your percentage goes up by 1. THAT'S TERRIBLE! lol! Jordan is CLEARLY better.
Wis Dom
Kobetards watch too much Kobe highlights.
*****
That's cute. Kobe is a 1% better 3 point shooter than MJ but he is NOT a better overall shooter than MJ. We can argue all day about who is the better shooter, but the overall % numbers don't lie.
Injured wrist. Elbowed in the head by Shaq. 64 points. Insane.
Hangs, foul, scores....#howmanytimes
A lethal jump shooter. Gosh in that game he killed it. Just jump and shot. Incredible game.
Lebron won't take 49 shots because Lebron won't be driving to the baskets 49 times in a game matter how bad the other teams defense is. You gotta be joking if you think Lebron is selfless when in reality he can't shoot. 2007 finals, what happened? Nuff said.
*****
Then 2013 finals, what happened with Lebron Jump Shot? Nuff said...
*****
What? The whole reason they were even in a Game 7 is because of Ray Allen after LeBron missed his 3. Coach Pop gave LeBron the jumper the entire series and he couldn't hit it and it almost cost The Heat the Finals. Just because he finally started in Game 7 doesn't mean he had his J the whole series. He didn't.
@poopscoop Lebron Average 15 points against the Mavs outscored by J. Terry coming off the bench in the NBA finals. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
no one can be better than jordan in the future even... We r lucky that we watched the history live...
I am a huge fan of MJ....and I hate Kobe. But I admit that Kobe is a better shooter than Michael.
Jordan's career field goal percentage is 50%. Kobe's is 45%. They shot almost the exact same from 3 point range... How is that better?
Kobe just hit most missed shots of all time record and counting, congrats
They have the same from the arc? Man, you better check it again. As i said, Im a huge fan of MJ....and i hate Kobe.....MJ has unbeatable skill....but we have to admit the fact that MJ is not a good 3pts shooter
I know, but this is another topic. What I'm saying is they DO NOT have the same % of FG behind the arc.
keigorjai01 1. Unlike MJ, 3pt shooting has always been a staple in Kobe's game and he's still less efficient at it. Per Basketball Reference, MJ's career 3pt FG% is .327 which rounds to 33% and Kobe has .333 which also rounds to 33%. Accounting for the seasons where they've attempted a career high in 3pt attempts MJ attempted 3.6 threes per game and hit them at .374 in the 96-97 season which equals 37% while Kobe attempted 6.5 threes in the 05-06 season and hit them at .344 which equals 34%. Kobe's % isn't bad but it's far less efficient. 2. Mj's career high 3PT FG% is .427 which equals 48% while Kobe's(excluding rookie season) is .361 which equals 36%. 3. Kobe averages 4.0 threes a game for his career while MJ averages half that amount(1.7 to be exact equaling 2.0) and still shoots roughly the same % as Kobe. Kobe's percentages aren't terrible but he isn't a better shooter than MJ when really he just shoots more of them so it creates the image that he's better when he in fact isn't. MJ played in an era where the 3pt shor was viewed as an inefficient shot and athletes made full use of their IQ and talents to score. He never made the game harder than it had to be. Why shoot from 20-23 feet when you can score at the rim at will? MJ is a better shooter. He even stated that he never wanted be known as a 3pt shooter because it took away from other areas of his game. Kobe shoots threes more because he built that mentality into himself because of his need to shoot. He's not afraid to shoot, sure but he makes the game way harder on himself than even he knows.
MJ = Greatest of all time. End of story.
Great stuff Hoops! I just checked your channel out. You're defintely hoops encyclpedia. You must put alot of time in this and it's great. I'm really entertain with how you edit. Thank you.
it seems amazing how a child´s mind works and develops ideas, in my case i thought Jordan was so good because he was someone special, u know the kind of guy u can trust, like a good friend, I am grateful for ur comment I appreciate it, but it is still not clear for me what does I groove mean :)
when jordan retired he took the majority of the nba viewers with him and its not the same on ABC, his overall presence was unmatched on the court and off, Michael is the best period all around, the man hasnt played since 2003 and he still is the man, NBA 2K11 is a perfect example I know people that dont even play sports games or even own a video game console and still buying that game
Because the thing that made MJ the best ever was his ability to take his incomparable desire to win, and have that factor into his performance at some point in each and every game. He worked incredibly hard outside of games because of his competitive nature so that when the time came, he could win games, regardless of who his teammates were.
Simply awesome!!! Go, MJ Forever!!!
mj: always so beautiful to watch. no kobe, lebron or dirk can match him.
MJ is legend and even for him he had a big game that night.
But did anyone notice that Shaq had 29 pts at 61%, 24 reb and 5 blks.
Two of the biggest names going head to head.
A prime Jordan was just a monster, no way to guard him, block him, keep up with him, strategize against him....teams back then were literally programmed AS A TEAM against Jordan by coaches...teams were'nt trying to figure out how to beat the Bulls, they were too busy trying to figure out this prodigy called JORDAN, which was impossible because of his multidimensional ability to ADAPT and switch-up, ALLWAYS keeping everyone off balance. Couple that with extreme CONSISTENCY, DESIRE, and TALENT. 23
And the crowd left early! This one should go down as a battle for the ages.
imagine we would have HD back then... Jordan best ever!
This is why this man is the goat. You had to have seen him do it to know that this man is the goat. I'm telling you not no clips not just some somebody putting up on their page that they made no to actually witness. Them games on live TV man was incredible. That's why y'all cannot turn us from who the greatest of all times is we know
Just amazing how he is in pain here and just locking in like a machine. Bernard King was tough as shit like that. Scoring 40+ in playoff games with splints on his hands. Ditto Larry Bird. 80's and 90's. The last of the tough guy decades...
True. Lebron gets carried off because of cramps lol
damn every time i watch about MJ here in youtube, i always see kobe, wade, lebron on the comments, can you just watch this is MJ play and relived the moments, what ever this 3 players accomplish(ed) will never surpassed MJ's greatness... both offensive and defensive.. MJ G.O.A.T. PERIOD!
WELL edited and done video!
Thank you hoopsencyclopedia!
You know, I used to hate basketball.. I was playing soccer at that time..But now I really love it so much.. It mean a lot to me.. I started playing basketball last 2 years now.. I really regret on this.. :( Now I'm 17.. I just really want to say, I got hope and inspiration from MICHAEL AIR JORDAN!
MJ is and will always be the best. Period.
If I had to choose choose between MJ in his prime or Kobe, no question, MJ!
mj made me fall in love with basketball
Damn, 64 on an injured wrist and didn't cry or complain. Men were built different back then.
oh wow michael jordan, what an amazing player
I have to thank you for that info, i didnt know about that Elgin's finals performance as well as most before 80s. And now knowing this and those sick Jerry West's performances, Kobe will really have a tough time being considered even the Laker's GOAT... they had Magic and Shaq too.
@triklops
Clyde, Nique, Richmond......Tim Hardaway, Stockton, Zo.......The list goes on and on....
another perfect example of why/how MJ is the G.O.A.T.
he scored 64 pts against Shaq who's one of the top 10 greatest players of all time. top 5 arguably at his position. (even though he was a rookie here). majority of Jordan's high scoring games were against teams with Hall Of Famer's on it.
I wonder if there is a trick to mjs shots like does he exhale his breath when he takes his shot like thats 1 of many questions that may never be answered
@mark03cobra You are right....Jordan said that the rims at the United Center were very stiff, especially on the right side of the court.
Man I miss Shaq, he was the most dominating player by far and very athletic. I think nobody will match his early year skills.
64 pts with a wrist injyry..MJ is the G.O.A.T!
yea i know this was the first time playing against shaq i remember reading in the paper the day after this game seeing the stats saw jordan 64 points i quickly turned on espn to see the highlights of the game, but thanks for responding i didnt know why he wouldnt have on the
8s....I will never have to ask another question about MJ I know all there is to know about the man...thanks though dude...
Jordan's defining moments
Used to watch Bulls games all the time. I was so upset when they blacked this game out on WGN. Couldn't believe i missed a classic when I watched SportsCenter the next day and say MJ had 64 pts.
@D2Kprime Who won the Finals that year by the way? Who won the season series vs the Magic by the way?
@wannam01 and even though every play you've seen where players are grabbing his jersey are of them getting lit up, still doesnt take away from the fact it would've been extremly difficult for him to get open. That's just the greatness of Michael Jordan.
WAS this game ON MARCH OR JANUARY?
BECAUSE THE AIR JORDAN 7'S THAT CAME OUT SAY MARCH 4 1993 64 POINTS ON THE TONGUE AND SOME PEOPLE ARE SAYING THAT THE DATE IS WRONG....SOMEONE LET ME KNOW
The hand-check rules and the lack of hard contact made the numbers he got astounding. Watch Shaq's foul at 4:14 - nowadays that's a flagrant. He went through 13 seasons with that level of contact, night in and night out - and averaged 30.1 PPG. It's a different universe now.
He's the G.O.A.T. Any playmaker today, obviously made themselves better by learning from the mistakes of the greatest of all time, including Lebron. Yeah Jordan jacked 49 shots, but the name of the game is gettin buckets. Professional ballers in it for the win. They know that, the whole association knows that. Jordan May have taken away some of their shot attempts, but helped them get rings. I'd take that trade any day of the week. They're champs, nothin can beat that
You're welcome. Yea it will be hard for anyone to catch up to some of the legends on that list, especially Lebrick. Jerry West was a helluva shooter who is forgotten because he wasnt a high flying guy like MJ but he was deadly and I would have him on my team anyday!!
Jordan is the only guy who can preview heaven before he dies...
Dont forget that went agains the raptors -____-. Jordan scored a record play off 63 points vs of what was then the celtic dynasty as a 2nd year player. TRULY amazing
Shaq and Duncan both started in the 90s, though. As did Kobe, Garnett, Ray Allen, Kidd,etc. Shaq was already dominating by the mid-late 90s and was part of the great group of centers the 90s had in Ewing, Hakeem, David Robinson, Mouring, Mutombo,etc.
MJ is the 1 goat...💪💪💪💪💪
No one, and i say no one can really master the difficult shots that Jordan makes whenever he pulls up for a fade away.
what was the exact colorway of the 7 tht mj was wearing in this game?
You're forgetting Jordan actually played since "basketball has evolved so much" with the wizards. He was still one of the better scorers in the league far past his prime, in a time when he should have been retired.
@Shermstyle23 What about 62 points in 3qtr against the finalist Mavs? Kobe took 18 shots less than Jordan did in this game.
MJ The best of the best
it's a damn fact jordan is the beat of all time... maybe even in all sports.
Haters will always hate on Jordan’s game because they could never be as great at the game as he was
does anybody know what shoes jordan wore in this game I cant tell, he should be wearing the bunny 8s but i dont think he is...reply if you know for a fact...
the best there was, the best there will ever be. period.
Man, there was a rookie on the Magic this game named Shaq.
I think he got something like 29/24/2ass/1steal/5blocks this game and the bulls lost. 49 shots for 64 points is damned great. You'd need at least 70% FG if he wasn't touching the 3 in order to outscore a team.
MJ is always in prime :)
Michael Jordan is the GOAT .
what type of jordens mj have on @ 5:03???
welcome to the nba big man i think ill drop 60+ for ya....man i miss these days mj goat nobody will ever be better..
i remember being such a big fan of jordan when i was a kid. i used to believe he had a special pair of shoes that allowed him to play so great. i did everything i could to get a pair of those shoes but never could LOL......
yep - sure is, this is the Magic TV feed. I have this on DVD...
Michael Jordan is the best basketball player in the world.
