61 and not a single 3. Unheard of in today's game for a 2 guard. Jordan was the best midrange shooter ever. When he made his mind up to take over a game he just did and there was nothing anyone could do. Detroit was a great defensive team, they switched everyone off trying to guard him and it didn't matter.
Hey John,
I don't appreciate you taking my comment completely out of my head and expressing it in text form for all to see!
Don't let it happen again...🤣😂😆🤣💯💯❗️▪️▪️▪️▪️
@M keep dreaming bruh.
What makes a person watching a vid about a man dominating a completely different game/sport, against one of the better defensive teams in the league comment about a bunch of guys kicking a ball in a goal❓️🤔
Jealousy❗️Plain and simple.
Any player in your sport a *Billionaire*? Any player in your sport own a sports *Franchise*? Any player in your sport *donate millions* during covid relief to hospitals around the country? Any soccer player have a *shoe label* that's been number 1 in the industry since the late 80's?
It's because of MJ, when he played, that basketball is the number one sport in the world!
Beckem, Renaldo are popular, but have not transcended their sport the way MJ has globally! And I actually think Peele was better than them all, but neither he, nor them, made their sport world renowned the way guys like Kareem, Magic, Bird, MJ, Kobe, LeBron, did for 🏀 basketball!
I'm still trying to understand what would make a guy comment about soccer looking at a basketball vid?
Jealousy can make folks do crazy things.....😳
@M and nobody knows a single player. Boringest sport ever 👍
"This guy literary is embarrassing the league,he's that good"-Chuck Daly
That's the reason they beat him up.
@@tonygrate Yup.
i wanna be like mike...like mike....still waching 2020
The most complete basketball player I've ever seen. And in my opinion the GREATEST athlete in all of team sport's.
Ahmad2423 Wilt?
The greatest single athlete of all time, NO, that would have to be Muhammad Ali. But, the greatest basketball player of all time, YES, that's Michael Jordan, no question about it!
the GOAT, yes, the greatest Athlete, clearly Bo
YES!!!! MJ #23 THE GOAT 🐐 🏀 ☁️
Yes 😁👍🏽
Who watches this video thinking what it must feel Iike to be THIS talented? Mike was just on such a different level...
No other player in history of basketball was more unstoppable than Michael Jordan
ANUBIS.CLEOPATRA.RAMSES.OROJOYAS.TUTANKAMON☺😇😢MICHAELJORDAN.
I mean wilt might contest that
Wilt, Kareem
@@samiam9647 true, but those guys you only really had to contend with inside, Jordan would kill you from anywhere on the entire floor defensively or offensively, no other player dominated the entire court like that. Kareem and Wilt dominated inside only
Oh so it’s the most unstoppable but? Then say in your opinion MJ was the most unstoppable perimeter player ..
The most dominate in my opinion was Shaq.. the most unstoppable was Kareem..
MJ as a perimeter player is top five all time
MJ is the greatest player and no one can do what MJ done.
You are right no can replaced MJ.
Facts
Watching MJ just makes me want to play basketball. Is that for anyone else
U betr just stick to watching basketball. You will break ur ankles fall to ur knees and gravy will pour out as soon as u start playing. Relax. Relax and smoke a joint.
@MAN UTD And your point is.
U got that RIGHT the inspiration of a true dedicated NBA PERFECT player amen. He surpassed ali babe ruth n EVERYONE in the past PRESENT n future amen
Yup
Me
GREATEST OF ALLLLL TIME.... MICHAEL JEFFREY JORDAN 23 🔥👌 🐐
Jordan set the bar so high it’s impossible to match. Greatest all around player. 6’6 and posting up like Akeem Olajuwon . MJ = GODMODE
32 years ago today and still no one comes close to him
@42brownbomber u never seen a lebron either so🤷♂️
@42brownbomber what move did jordan do that u haven't seen other players do? now what 6'8 power/point have i seen that's fast as a deer can finish with either hand and the best passer on earth that nobody can actually guard? oh ok also have u seen a pass 1st forward who accidentally is number 3 on all time scoring or came back from 3-1 deficit all while leading the team in every statistical category in one of his 8 straight trips to the finals? lebron is the best complete ball player I've seen mike was good for his generation lebron got now and will beat Mike's numbers soooo🤷♂️
@42brownbomber see i see u don't like basketball mike was selfish and couldn't win cuz he didn't trust his team lebron is the epitome of team basketball u think with your heart and not your head. why down a complete player if ur a fan of the game? that means your bias and don't speak facts just opinions. that man is great period and so is mike but statistically he is a more complete player these are facts
all those players u named was slow as fuck and not nearly as athletic as today's guys so shut that shit up too
@42brownbomber once again all opinions u haven't convinced me that he is not the greatest playing today fuck who ran with were u in the league? no? ight cool until u take a charge from a 6'8 260 power/point and then mention it otherwise u sound like a hater who can't let go of the past. and if u really feel like that y even watch basketball nowadays ?🤷♂️
I have lost count on how many times of Jordan scoring 50 or more points against a physical championship team like the Detroit Pistons. Isiah Thomas once said there has been no athlete in all professional sports that seems to possess stamina and endurance like Michael Jordan. Thomas said that whether Jordan is playing against the best team or the worst team, Jordan consistently plays at a high energy level while he, Johnson and Bird could not reach. He also said that Jordan, who is healthy, continued to play at a high level while he, Magic Johnson, and Larry Bird succumbed to injuries. This is why a healthy, high playing level Jordan was able to win three consecutive NBA championships twice while Thomas, Johnson, and Bird faltered with age and injuries. Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time. In my opinion, I do not think Kobe Bryant or LeBron James could consistently play at this level against physical defensive teams like the Pistons or the Celtics of the 80s, or the Knicks in the 90s like the way Jordan has.
+Joey Brooks and to think aside from the 2nd season when he was injured and his first retirement return season...he played 60 (age 38) 78,81....then 82 games every season even the last one at the age of 39...that is insane
+Joey Brooks who gives a shit who's the best player of all time? God that fucking annoys me. How can there be a best player? Players play different positions in different eras in different styles of play.
+EasyA 333 I told you that it was my opinion, I can comment on whatever or whenever I like. You are trying to argue online, which is a waste of time. I do not give a shit about what annoys you.
Joey Brooks LOL as soon as someone says that....like LBJ did this week....you know they recently tried to gather facts as to why their player is better than MJ....then they stumbled on some facts and landed in the world of 'Who cares, its not important'/////
+Joey Brooks Well put - You are correct in that MJ just appears to be at a higher stamina level....
Look how packed the lanes were. No easy baskets. No flagrant fouls.
2:59 - who said MJ didn't have a jumpshot back then?
4:55 - look at his first step, the quickness is astounding. Lane is clogged, Jordan scores anyway.
5:20 - just another reloaded shot. The difficulty of that move is crazy.
7:00 - watch the body control in mid-air. He hangs there for a second.
7:28 - clutch basket to force overtime. Pistons defended him well. It didn't matter.
That reverse circuit shot at 0:59 is sooo freaking hard to make with your back facing the basket. Then again he does it so quickly and without even second-guessing, in trafic and he make it look like an ordinary lay up !! The guy was sick, period !!
Nah Lebron ain't better than Jordan, this dude is unstoppable.
Playing against a 6-1 point guards, 6-2 shooting guard, 6-4 small forward, 6-7 power forward and 6-9 slow Bill Laimbeer at center. Nothing like going against Kahwi and Tim Duncan or Iguodala and Draymond.
@@emmanuelenyinwa1443 a 6'1 and 6'4 guard both who are first team defensive player's. But what about LeBron being guarded by a 6'4 guard who's 4 inches shorter and 50 pounds lighter. Or KD being guarded by Kyle Korver y'all don't say shit about that...MJ just couldn't be stopped you better go look at the '89&'90 ECF vs Pistons. And watch what he did to that #1 ranked defense in the NBA.
@@emmanuelenyinwa1443 Laimbeer was 6-11, Salley was 6-11. James Edwards was 7-1.
@@emmanuelenyinwa1443
Lebron = a great loser
@@emmanuelenyinwa1443 hmmm so let's try Wilkins , 60 on Shaq , Ewing & the kincks, Drexler, Barkley list goes on & on. Duncan, Garnett, Robinson on & on. Stay at the fooze ball table or try hockey
Jordan can avg 20 in todays game with 1 hand tied behind his back
At the age of 56.
Foreal
Hahaha nice joke!
I love seeing him dunk over Laimbeer and Laiimbeer throwing tantrums.
Too much talent for one man to possess. MJ just wasn't fair to play against.
In a man's league, Jordan was a man amongst boys lol.
4:55 - he's not human
The spin on that was crazy not to mention the fact that he did it with his left hand. Amazing
After he shoots it he just runs back to the other end. Doesn't even look to see if it goes in or not. He just knows its perfect when he lets it go.
I just don't see how anyone could think Lebron comes close to this dude or even kobe. It's a hell of a difference between anyone and mike.. He probably the only star player with the individual awards along with the team awards. Plus that game he had was the most exciting ever.. Then look his stats up and they are better then Lebron, kobe or whoever. . That's just to much to overcome when u talking about being as great as him or the greatest. . He also did all this in less years playing
lebron and kobe living in your mind rent free
Only delusional Mufuckaz think that not anyone who's sane.
It's all ESPN hype. They need the next guy to come along to drive their talk shows. It's a joke that anyone is even close to this guy.
The only thing I can see here that resembles Lebron is MJ's hairline at the time
Most kids know a days are not true basketball ball fans. They are fed their life and everything they know through highlights and the net. Anyone thinking Lebron is even in the GOAT conversation didn't watch Michael Jordan actually play.
61 vs the Detroit Bad Boyz D is greater than scoring 81 vs Toronto.
Nope.
They weren't the bad boys at this point
@@anonymoususer2080 Dude this is 87. YES THEY WERE. The Bird Laimbeer fight in the playoffs is THAT YEAR.
cptnsx Yeah that guy is an idiot he has to be a child
Anonymous User You’re stupid as fuck fr
GOAT
great player, great athlete... we are lucky to witness this in our time
he's still ahead of his time now. no one has matched his level of play since. kobe has come close.
I think only in 91 and up where everyone kinda caught up with foot work and dribbling like he does or at least close. But then he retired. I think that's for them to catch up. Lol
Kobe isn’t close
he is just too good
After Jordan retried,I never watch live basketball again.
Me either
You missed out on a lot of great players smh
Same here... when you've watched the best at his apex it's hard getting excited about anything less.
@@thetexan8997 Yall arent actual hoop fans then. There has never been more talent in the NBA at the same time like it is in today's league. It definitely has it's issues, but if u stopped watching basketball in 1998..... u missed out
@@katrinawilliams6898 Been a fan since the early 70's actually. The candle burned out for me in mid-2000's. Golden era for me was 90's basketball, I was heavily invested. I loved watching players duke it out in college and when they went to the big league I followed them. Now I watch from time to time but there is no emotional attachment...that left when Jordan, Hakeem, Barkley, Pip, Rodman, etc left. Kobe was the last emotional attachment I had left to the game....And to be honest the brand of basketball that is played now is not entertaining to me whatsoever.
In this era, 61 actually meant something.
MJ is greatness personified!!!✨️✨️✨️
05:20 may god mj is the goat
Michael Jordan is unquestionably the greatest player of all time.

Also the GREATEST athlete in all of team sport's.
The Greatest of all time carries his team on his back as a preview of the next decade to come! Magic moment in time and I still don’t think anyone was really ready for #23
Good to see Thomas and Jordan shaking hands at the end of the game. Animosity must have been developed or accelerated the following years.
Jordan number one goat
Did you guys see that move at 0:58 into the game? This is 1987; he was so far ahead of his time!
The stat line is amazing. But the best part is that this was an important game against the best team in East, and arguably one of the best defensive teams of all time. Who else in NBA history could score like this against the Bad Boys in their prime? I dare to say nobody.
To be fair, the Celtics were the defending NBA champion and still the best team in the Eastern conference in 1987. They would eliminate Chicago, Milwaukee and Detroit to make their 4th consecutive NBA Finals a few months later. Amazing performance my Jordan, regardless.
@@Krusty-vu1tt I can't even imagine what Jordan in his prime would do to this era
MJ was already the GOAT 30 yrs ago. Once he set the bar that high, nobody else can reach.
This is just WOW!
61/7/3/3/3 is amazing.
He also shot 22/39 56%
The PERFECT NBA player of centuries to come
Michael Jordan doing work! that is what this one should be called. You can tell that he was in full attack mode by reading his body language as he would face up to the basket and his approach.
GOATNESS
Whait a minute, this clip can't be true. I thought everyboy said Joe Dumars stoped Jordan. May be it was in the other 59 point game he had against him..:-)
GOAT performance!😍
5:34 is really insane dunk 😂
superman!
It's funny that people make a big deal about the "Jordan Rules" when Jordan was still killing their defense.
Was straight cooking they ass. The Jordan Rules was to stop him from scoring 50 😆
Jordan was ahead of his time. Too athletic for most of those cats back in the 80's.
Was there on my 18th birthday? I was so excited to see Michael Jordan play. To this day my favorite all-time NBA player.
For the record this was "pre-Jordan" rules before it was implemented in the 1989 playoffs and it was fully established after a thorough trashing of a bulls first home game in that series where it seem that the momentum had fully switched; this was documented in the recent document of the bad boys featured by i believed to be E.S.P.N and it was terrific insight that also showed M.J's reaction to this where he actually admitted that he was not ready for the physical beating that he took and actually built his body up in that off season-good stuff!
I just watched that on Netflix, it was a good show!
yeah.. MJ continued to own them offensively and defensively... and then he got even better because he adapted his game and body to the beating he was getting... no one else comes close to this man's game.. in my opinion.
Alien !
The GOAT basketball player obviously. But really the GOAT athlete ever. And that has an obviously too btw. Mozart. Michelangelo. MJ.
This is just amazing. Thank you for this video.
Damn
The NBA was a Big Playground for Mike..in his early years he was direspectful..
The Pistons really brought out the best in Michael Jordan whether it was Detroit or Chicago! He wanted the Crown early!👍
Without the hand check rule Jordan would have averaged 50 a game today
Way more impressive than LeBron's effort against the bobcats because defense was better in the 80$! :-)
No it wasn't lol. That was a run and gun era.
@@nostalgicbliss5547 and todays defense is garbage. Come down the middle in the 80's on Detroit Pistons and get beat down. Backing down trying to score with a big ass hand on your back controlling which direction you could go. The 80's and 90's the NBA played defense. Flagrant fouls today were normal fouls in the 80's. Imagine Lebron James coming down the middle and getting clobbered by Rick Mahorn and Bill Lambier. Lebron James would have gone out injured for sure.
Troy Knows Paranormal talking about getting clobbered . Is it actually defense or flagrant fouls they weren’t calling
I was talking about Jordan's performances year after year vs the Pistons.
I miss watching him play. Glad I got to see him play in person a couple times.
Thanks for uploading the full version of this game. I did too cheap a version in my days as a rookie youtuber.
This was pre-Jordan rules..brutal defense. Zeke had the nerve to say LBJ is a better player🤔🤨
Yep King fans. Free throws are important through out a game and the best make them.
61 pts vs the best defense at the time!👀
Michael Jordan is so good he is embarrassing the league that's what the late great Chuck Daly said about Michael Jordan and Pat Riley said one time that as long as Jordan was in the league no one else would when the NBA title and Grant Hill said please retire so someone else could have a chance to win Jordan is the goat
And then you have the birth of the "Jordan Rule's"!
5:50 hitting the corner of the backboard?.....wow, just wow.
61 points on the Bad Boy Pistons! Let that sink in. One of the toughest, nastiest defenses the NBA has ever seen. In comparison, LeFraud James scored 61 only ONCE in a now super soft league, against a lowly Bobcats team in a blowout win, while playing for the “superteam” Miami Heat. The kids have no idea these days what a real great baller is.
There's a lot that I can name, I would strain myself to do it.
This is what real offense is. 61 points against this championship level hall of fame defense on the road.
F Kobe and his 81 against cellar dwellars in February. Kobe wouldn't have got 30 in this game.
And you can tell Mike really only cares about winning....he's not trying to pose or look cool... the man just wants to win.
This before the infamous playoff matchups, Zeke n MJ very cordial...pat on the butt here, arm around Zeke there... but Detroit knew we can’t play regular ball vs him we need something a little bit more. Very next year he gives them 59...
This game shows you everything you need to know about Jordan’s offensive abilities. 61 points against the best defense in the league, and not a single three-pointer.
I think it was this particular game when Detroit decided “oh yeah, we definitely gotta fuck Jordan up for disrespecting us in our house like this” 🤣🤣
Rare moment at 9:03 with MJ putting his arm around Isiah after the game. I thought those two hated each other after the 1985 Allstar game
The man turned the lay up into an art form
Jordan hugged Thomas in the end. They were still in good terms then.
Jordan was!!!!!Thomas has always been a rat!
The Greatest NBA player, the most famous Michael Jordan legend dominating the entire human world,. Good lucks and more power'$ , congratulation,.
9:02 I mean Michael gets along with Isaiah
Heavy Gratitude
You have every right to think what you want but we have a right to call you out when you talk nonsense in a public format online. You are avoiding very basic topics when comparing the two Jordan has countless things he's done that Kobe has never come close to achieving on the offensive end and defensive end. please post the number of 30 and 40 plus games Jordan's numbers are absolutely staggering
“Lace em up its gonna be a long fucking night “
-Jordan to the pistons
awesome
this was 28 years ago, but still very impressive.
claudine69retoke you just made me feel old as hell
pheeel17 haha, bro, time really flies when you're having fun, :)
10 years before I was born
JORDAN IS UNMATCHED ON THE BASKETBALL COURT.
Utter dominance vs the best defensive team of the '80s. MJ had 37 GMs scoring 40+ in this 86-87 season. 11 of those in a row. 🐐
mj the man
and your the man for having all these
where did you get them from ?
Back when Jordan had respect for Isaiah. Would have been awesome to see him play for the dream team.
Goat!!!💪💚

Stop talking and post their career stats playoff and regular season! you won't because you know what they'll reveal.
bighare08 what’s ur point ? Ur one of those stats padded guys
Love to see lebum try to get 61 without making 3 pointers
Damn Jordan gave Isaiah dap at the end of the game 💯

Finally, somebody knows the truth! Brian Scalabrine is 2nd
How’s it going, Dave?
@9:02 great sportsmanship from Jordan.
Maitland Clarke Ya I noticed that too.
By the it was the first year of 1987 WFLD-TV Became Fox Television by the year 1990-91 the Fox Network started to show shows 7 days a week. Thanks to 21 Jump Street & Married with Children Fox's 2 successful shows. 32 did show The Jetsons Meet The Flintstones .
Lechoke Blames watch and learn, my bad you can't.
tuve la suerte de ver a jordan
Pippen: Michael was a terrible player before me joining Chicago..oh yeah, terrible
I keep saying look at the players scoring numbers who played in pre- hand checking era and post hand- checking era like Iverson, Kobe, Paul pierce etc.Then you will realize there was a difference due to the allowed physicality of the leave. Jordan was doing this when things were very physical .
